On the Ming Guofu ship near the Tangjinwan Water Army Port in Songpu County, Kyushu, Masayoshi, Masayoshi asked Li Huamei about her plans for the next step. When she heard that Li Huamei was planning to avenge her adopted father who was framed and killed, she was almost knocked down by lightning.

"I want to kill all the Japanese pirates to eliminate the wealth of the damn dog officials, and then completely control the maritime trade routes between Ming and here, and strengthen my fleet through the wealth here." Li Huamei suddenly changed her voice, and her eyes flashed with stars. "This time, part of the money sold for the family wealth was used to purchase this lucky ship, and part of it was to work with Wang Dongjia, Shi Tou and others to expand the scale of our trade route. Moreover, Shi Tou and others have already figured out how to deal with those corruption of dog officials."

Zhengliang understood as soon as he heard this. Li Huamei planned to use cut off his overseas financial resources, and then combined with secret attacks and other means to retaliate against those dog officials and corrupt businessmen. But this is good, at least Li Huamei will not return to the rotten Ming Kingdom. However, if Li Huamei plans to gallop in this sea area in the future, it is likely to meet another Ming pirate who just came to this area. Once the two sides conflict, Li Huamei's current lucky ship is really not necessarily the opponent. Now both this ship and Li Huamei are treasures in Zhengliang's eyes, so in order to prevent them from falling into danger, Zhengliang thought about it in his heart and said:

"From my opinion, this ship has no large tubes, so its attack power is not very good. Look at this, how about you wait until the casting of several large tubes of our family at the end of the year and installing enough large tubes for this warship, how about you go to sea again?"

Li Huamei immediately began to ponder after hearing this.

"During this period, this warship can patrol the coastal areas of my territory. While familiarizing with the coastal terrain of my territory, it also boosts morale for our navy, so that the other lords' navy will not dare to easily attack the coastal areas of my territory. And you can also take the opportunity to visit everywhere in our territory. How about it?"

"I heard that the navy army in your home has a naval army general. What kind of position do you plan to give me?" At this time, Li Huamei did not immediately agree to Zhengliang's arrangements, but asked instead.

"Uh!" Zhengliang was speechless when asked for a moment. Damn, including the situation of his own residence in the city just now, why did Li Huamei know so clearly? It must be Shi Tou, Wang Hai and the others revealed it to her (it can't be blamed on Shi Tou. In order to persuade Li Huamei to come to Zhengliang's territory, they had to introduce the situation of the Luo family and Zheng Liang to Li Huamei in detail).

"What, aren't you going to give me a single position? It seems that your wives and concubines can run shopping malls and even serve as high-ranking officials in your territory?" Li Huamei said again.

"How about the navy general? What about the navy general who can command a navy fleet?" Zhengliang finally said under Li Huamei's both compelling and tempting eyes.

"Okay, since that's the case, let's just follow the arrangements of you, the lord." After being appointed as an official by Zhengliang, Li Huamei immediately agreed to Zhengliang's previous arrangements.

Seeing that Li Huamei finally agreed to her arrangement, Zhengliang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although Li Huamei seemed easy to speak on the surface, Li Huamei was a stubborn person. This personality is very different from Nongji. Nongji is innocent and stubborn, while Li Huamei is a bit complicated. After spending time with her, Zhengliang has seen several personalities such as gentleness, coldness, generousness, and stubbornness in her. He is really a complicated woman. Now seeing such a woman who has a very opinion agreeing to her arrangement, Zhengliang naturally needs to breathe a sigh of relief. But Li Huamei's next sentence made Zhengliang nervous:

"I heard that there is an army of all women in your territory, and your daughter is the leader of this army, isn't it true?" Whether in Japan or in Ming Dynasty, it is a novel thing to have such an army appearing in the context of a low social status of women.

"Ha? Hahaha..." Masayoshi was startled first, and then quickly beat him up. Damn, who leaked it this time? But this time it couldn't be Shi Tou and the others. After all, when Meiji and Nongji created such a female guard, they were still in Ming Kingdom. Then it could only be Liu Le and the others. It seems that they have to talk to them after they go back. How can they talk to Li Huamei like this? If Meiji and Nongji are allowed to get together with Li Huamei, there will be a good show in the territory at that time. It would be strange if Masayoshi didn't suffer a headache. Thinking of this, Masayoshi immediately changed the topic:

"There is also a shipbuilding workshop in my territory. Now I am just starting to build a small lucky boat. This time you are visiting my territory, you will just go and visit it."

"Really? I will lead the lucky ships built by my family in the future. How about it?" Li Huamei's eyes lit up after hearing this and asked quickly. She was trying every means to build a powerful sea fleet. Now it was time to doze off. Someone actually sent a pillow, so she naturally asked for the ship again.

"Okay! You will be trained in this type of ship in the future." Zhengliang also agreed immediately. In fact, Zhengliang has seen the current navigation operation of this lucky ship. If it were not for the sailors who were trained by Li Huamei, Wang Hai, Shitou and others, it would probably be impossible for the local navy of the Luo family to operate this warship. Therefore, letting Li Huamei and others, who are more proficient in the navigation and combat conditions of this type of ship, the power of this type of ship will be able to be more exerted.

At the same time, the Luo family can also cultivate other naval forces through these ships. This was Zhengliang's original idea. Now that Li Huamei took the initiative to propose it, Zhengliang naturally agreed. Of course, in order to avoid Li Huamei only caring about opening up her business roads and neglecting the protection of the territory and sea areas, it is necessary to carry out necessary surveillance and restrictions on this fleet, and I believe Li Huamei can understand it.

"By the way, since you are planning to hand over the small lucky ships you are building, then take back the warships you allocated to me before. I saw that your naval generals were also very envious of the seized warships." Li Huamei said immediately after receiving Zhengliang's answer.

What Li Huamei refers to was the three clearance ships seized and more than 30 Xiaozao, who were captured when capturing the bay where Kameo Castle in Iki Island. Now each navy hopes that the more warships the fleet, the better. They almost regard the fleet as their other home. It is precisely because of the situation of the retainers that Masayoshi suspended the plan for major adjustments to the generals of each fleet that were originally planned to be implemented. This plan will still have to wait until the appropriate time to implement, otherwise it will inevitably cause commotion among each fleet.

Since Li Huamei is so understanding now, Zhengliang immediately decided to allocate these ships according to the merits of the first and second two standing naval forces in the expedition this time.

"Also, there seems to be a letter from another group of pirates to hand over to you. You might as well hurry back as soon as possible. As for me, let Shitou and others take me around for a tour. I thought you occupied thousands of acres of land like the gentry of the Ming Dynasty and then became a small landlord? Now it seems that your territory is much larger than I expected, and I happened to walk around." Li Huamei said at the end.

"Okay!" When he heard about the letter, Masayora also looked serious and nodded in agreement with Li Huamei's request. However, when Masayora was rushing back to Xuefu City, he found that Wang Hai was rushing to Tangjin from Hirado Island to meet him, so the two missed it. At the same time, he also received a request from a Southern Barbarian who claimed to be a missionary. After obtaining Masayora's permission, the missionary came to the door two days later. There were two people coming. One was Yajiro, who claimed to be a local, and the other was a Southern Barbarian missionary.

"Mr. Repairman, this is Father Francis Xavier, a Jesuit clan, and a very educated and talented person." Yajiro obviously had roughly learned about Masaru before coming, so he took the initiative to introduce Masaru to Masaru, "I am a little fisherman born in Satsuma. He followed a merchant ship to Malacca a few years ago, and just returned here with Father Francis Xavier's ship this year."

"It's very honored to meet two of you." Zhengliang welcomed with a friendly attitude.

Masara knew some of the situations about Father Francis and Shabbatou introduced by Yajiro. He was one of the founders of the Jesuits and first spread the Catholic Church to Malacca and Japan in Asia. The Catholic Church called it "the greatest missionary in history" and "the master guard of missionaries". Shabbatou was the master guard of the two dioceses of China, Japan, Goa and Macau, and the ceremony was scheduled to be held on December 3 every year.

He was born in 1506 in a Basque prominent family in Fort Chapelle in Navarra, northern Spain. In 1512, the Spanish invaded Navarre. Many local families' castles, including the Chapelle family, were destroyed at this time, and their territory was lost. In 1515, Francis' father passed away. In 1525, the 19-year-old Chapelle went to the Santa Barbara College of the University of Paris, France to study philosophy five years later.

He obtained a master's degree and started working as a lecturer. In Paris, a fellow villager, Ignatius, who was fifteen years older than him, rented a house with him. This fellow villager pursued the glory of God. He often said to Zabero a golden sentence in the Bible: "Even if a person earns the whole world, what benefits does it do if his soul is lost?" After Ignatius' long-term influence, Zabero's thoughts gradually changed, and he joined a group of people following Ignatius.

On August 15, 1534, Loyola, Xavier and seven others swore a vow of poverty and chastity in the Montmartre Heights in Paris, and founded the Jesuits. They originally wanted to go to Jerusalem, but were stopped by Pope Paul III. On September 27, 1540, Pope Paul III officially approved the establishment of the Jesuits and ordered Loyola to become the first president. Xavier was ordered to become the first missionary of the Jesuits and go to India and other places in the East to preach. On May 6, 1542, Xavier arrived in Goa (GOA), the center of India in Portugal. From 1545 to 1547, Xavier went to Malacca and the Moluca Islands to preach. On August 15, 1549 (Assumption of the Virgin Mary

Festival) arrived in Japan to preach (now a little changed in history, and he came to Japan a little later). According to historical records, he left Japan in 1551 and returned to Goa. He arrived at Ukawa Island in China in August 1552, but due to the Ming government's policy of locking the country, Zabuluo was unable to enter the mainland to preach. In December of the same year, Zabuluo died of illness on the island. His body was not buried in the Basilica of Bom Jesus Cathedral in Goa, India in 1554. In 1662, Zabuluo was listed as a saint by the church, and his cemetery also became a holy place for worship. At the same time, Saint Joseph's monastery in Malacca, Rome and Macau treasured some of the remains of Zabuluo.

What Masara didn't know was that before visiting Masara, Francis Xavio had visited Shimazu Takaha of Satsuma and Yoshitaka of Satsuma. After Francis Xavio and others visited Shimazu family in Satsuma, they followed the Osumi Strait and Hinata who had passed through the Fenggo Waterway. After learning that the land along the waterway was the most powerful Daming territory in Kyushu, Francis Xavio had planned to visit, but because the sea ban was imposed along the coast of Fenggo, they had to temporarily change the route and go to Zhougo first.

When meeting with Shimazu Takaku, in addition to presenting many southern barbarian gifts to Shimazu Takaku, he reached an agreement with the Shimazu family, one was that Francis Xavier could freely preach in the territory of the Shimazu family, and the other was that the church represented by Francis Xavier would trade with the Shimazu family such as iron cannons and gunpowder. Similarly, when visiting Yoshitaka of Ouchi, Francis Xavier submitted a letter from the Governor and Bishop of India in Goa. He presented a large number of gifts and successfully obtained his missionary permission, and reached a trade agreement with the Daune family.

"It's really a great honor! Please sit down!" After expressing his welcome, Zhengliang immediately sat on the main seat of the Xuefucheng Council Hall.

Hearing Masara's answer, Yajiro quickly translated it to Father Francis Shabbro. Francis Shabbro nodded, then sat cross-legged as Yajiro, and then took out the prepared gifts to Masara. There were four gifts in total. They were a huge glass mirror, a black velvet hat, a Bengal rattan pole and a beautiful peacock feather. These items are very rare in Japan today, which shows his sincerity.

Yajiro served as the translator of Francis Xavier, and said at this time: "We are so grateful to the Repair Doctor to receive us this time. These gifts are the first time Father Xavier met. Please accept them."

"Then I'm sorry to take it." Masayoshi responded with a smile, and then called two young surnames Yamaakaya Yuki, who were kneeling in the corridor outside the hall, and Cheng Fu Maoan moved the gift. After achieving the conditions for Masayoshi to become the best boy scout near the village where he was, Cheng Fu Maoan became Masayoshi's little surname at the beginning of this year.

Seeing Masara and other local daimyos, they looked completely different when they saw those gifts. Masarara even looked calm. Father Francis? Saber Shabbro couldn't help but be stunned, and then said something with a smile. Yajiro next to him immediately translated: "So, I have seen these gifts early in the morning, so he must know the source of these gifts?"

"Haha, it's not bad, so I'm very grateful for your kind gift." Zhengliang nodded.

Yajiro once again translated Masayoro's words to Father Francis Shabbau. Father Francis Shabbau thought for a while and said a few words to Yajiro again. Judging from this situation, the other party will talk about the important matter next.

Sure enough, Yajiro then turned to Masaru and saluted: "Mr. Repairman, I am here to visit this time because I hope that the Repairman will allow me to preach in your territory and to allow me to build a church on your territory. I hope you can get your permission."

Masara Leone knew about the purpose of the visit this time when Father Francis and Shabbatsu met with him. Masara Leone knew about it after receiving their request for advice. However, Masara Leone had concerns about allowing them to preach in his territory. You should know that in history, there were famous riots in the Amako Islands and Shimahara Peninsula churches in Kyushu. Masara Leone did not want another Yixiangsong to appear in his territory.

However, by allowing them to preach in the territory, on the one hand, they differentiate the influence of temples and shrines in the local area, and on the other hand, they obtain materials and materials in the territory by trade with them, and they also obtain their more advanced science and technology, medical technology, shipbuilding technology, etc.

In addition, Masayoshi generally adopts a policy of strong pressure to deal with temple shrine forces in the newly occupied areas, but this process often causes a large amount of manpower and material resources to consume a large amount of territory, which also leads to turmoil in these newly occupied territories, which hinders the future rule of the Luo family. If every territory implements such a method in the future, it will only delay the speed of the Luo family's rule. It is better to adopt the method of combining temple shrines controlled by the Luo family and the church to penetrate and differentiate the local temple shrine forces. This method is more gentle in the process of disposal, and the final effect is similar.

So after thinking about it again, Zhengliang still planned to agree to the other party's request. However, some restrictions were required for these churches.

First of all, the church is not allowed to preach missions in the country of Feiqian, the country of Buhou and the country of Feiqian. After all, the local temple shrine forces in these three countries have completely belonged to the Luo family. There is no need to let the church enter. However, the church is allowed to enter. However, many local temple shrine forces still have missions in the country of Buhou and Fengqian, and the newly occupied territory is allowed to enter.

Secondly, all churches entering the territory must follow the laws of the territory. If they are found to have encroached on land (the entrusted people have no land ownership, even if the believers of the entrusted people voluntarily contribute the land in the future, the entrusted people and the church will be regarded as illegal territory development), inciting believers, etc., whether they are the entrusted people of the Luo family, they will be dealt with in accordance with the laws of the Luo family. In this regard, the Intelligence Bureau will strengthen monitoring of the church.

Finally, for church buildings, land construction must be approved after joint approval by the Luo Family Intelligence and Interior Affairs Office. Each church building is given a little field to allow the clergy in the building to be self-sufficient (the land is generally very small, so as to limit the number of clergy and the size of the local church). Overall, Zhengliang is prepared to adopt a dual-track policy of support and restriction on the church.

Thinking of this, Zhengliang immediately agreed to the other party's request. He then ordered the public party of his family to follow and the officials of the Interior Cabinet to formulate a detailed missionary agreement with the other party and trade between the two parties.
Chapter completed!
