While Okubo was negotiating with Chen Kehui, Lu Ruolin was happily visiting the Omiya Shrine.
The shrine is a house that worships and worships the gods in Shintoism, and is the oldest type of Japanese religious architecture. Because Shintoism is closely related to the lives of the Japanese people, shrines are very common.
The Omiya Shrine is not large in size. After all, the Omiya Island is just an island and has a small population. However, although the sparrow is small and has all the internal organs, the shrine should have all the buildings, Torii, God Messenger, and the Temple.
Lu Ruolin's arrival naturally alarmed the priests in the shrine. Faced with a large number of armed personnel, the priests seemed calm, but in fact they were already panicked in their hearts.
If it was a Japanese army, no matter which force the priest was, it would not be worried. After all, on the basis of the whole nation's belief in Shintoism, no one dared to blaspheme the shrine.
However, it is hard to say about foreign forces like the Jinzhou Army. After all, Shintoism is only a local religion in Japan, and outsiders do not believe it at all, let alone awe.
On the contrary, compared with the poverty among the people, the shrine is considered a very rich place, and the priests are very worried that the Jinzhou army will come to rob.
Fortunately, the priest soon learned that Lu Ruolin and the others were here to visit, so he felt relieved and enthusiastically led Lu Ruolin and his party to visit the shrine, turning into competent tour guides.
Although Lu Ruolin came to Japan in his previous life, he had never been to the shrine, so he was really curious about the Omiya Shrine. He watched these exotic styles with great interest and listened to the priests' hard explanation of the history of the shrine.
Originally, there were many places in the shrine that were not allowed to enter, but the Jinzhou army had already checked all corners of the shrine for Lu Ruolin's safety, and left people to stand guard in important locations, which was quite suspicious of being overwhelmed by the host.
The priests did not dare to be dissatisfied with the Jinzhou Army's transcendence behavior, but instead spoke flatteringly. This was a general from the Ming Dynasty. He was very proud of his ability to visit the shrine, and he could not say that the Omiya Shrine would become famous because of this.
The priest had already turned Lu Ruolin's visit into a worship in his heart. Anyway, outsiders didn't know, so they would just say whatever he said.
The shrine is actually similar to the temples and Taoist temples in China, but the architectural style and function are somewhat different. It seems that no matter where the religion is, it is very good at creating an atmosphere.
The great god Amaterasu and the local god Lu Ruolin who were worshipped in the shrine did not have much respect, and they treated him as if he was a story. Of course, Lu Ruolin did not make any blasphemy actions, so he still had the respect he should have.
The Jinzhou generals who accompanied Lu Ruolin felt very bored when he came to visit the shrine. They had no idea why Lu Ruolin came here to see the gods of foreign countries. Are the Bodhisattvas and the Three Pure Ones of China more effective than them?
"Sir, do you believe this?" Han Yi, the commander of the navy commander, couldn't help it and asked secretly.
"How could I believe this?" Lu Ruolin said with a funny look.
Han Yi became even more curious: "What are you doing here by sir?"
"It's a rare trip to Japan. I've just had time to see what the Japanese shrine looks like." Lu Ruolin said naturally.
Han Yi looked at Lu Ruolin with a strange look, and wanted to speak but stopped.
Except for a very small number of people in this era, who would have the intention to travel around and see the scenery? It was during the war. It seemed that only those literati and poets liked this tone. Han Yi did not expect that Lu Ruolin was so romantic and could not understand it.
When he moved to a clearing in the shrine, Lu Ruolin found that the guards of the Jinzhou Army were guarding a group of people. These people were obviously not from the shrine, and there were men, women, young and old, all of them looked frightened and restless.
After all, it was a religious place, and Lu Ruolin was out for a trip again and told him in advance not to disturb the people. So when he saw this scene, Lu Ruolin couldn't help but frown.
Seeing this, Han Yi stepped forward and asked, "What's going on?"
The officer who led the team hurried forward and explained: "Sir, we found a group of suspicious people behind us, temporarily keep them in check to avoid accidents."
"Who are they?" Han Yi asked.
"We asked, they were all samurai from the original island, and they ran here to hide from us." The officer looked at these Japanese with a very bad look.
Han Yi looked at the priest who accompanied them with an unkind look.
The priest's face turned pale at this time and he had no idea how to explain it.
At that time, the priest accepted these samurai who had no time to escape, which was entirely out of kindness, but he did not expect that Lu Ruolin would come to visit the shrine. He had already advised these samurai to pretend to be ordinary people to worship, but somehow he still exposed it.
At this time, Lu Ruolin stood up and asked, "Do they attack you?"
The officer shook his head, "No, they all surrendered when they saw us."
"Since we have not attacked us, let them go." Lu Ruolin ordered.
After receiving the order, the officer immediately lifted the restrictions on these Japanese and asked them to leave.
After receiving the order to leave, the Japanese were ashamed of pardon and respectfully kowtowed to Lu Ruolin and prepared to leave.
Seeing the fear and fear of the Japanese children, Lu Ruolin suddenly felt hot and ordered the guards to distribute some candies and snacks to the children, which surprised the Japanese present.
The invaders of the Ming Dynasty not only did not kill a large amount of money, but instead seemed so kind, which was far beyond the expectations of these Japanese.
When the priest saw this scene, he even sang a hymn to Lu Ruolin and flattered him desperately. Unfortunately, Lu Ruolin couldn't understand a single sentence.
"I come to the island to express my gratitude to the children for my reward." A warrior saluted Lu Ruolin again, speaking fluent Chinese, which made Lu Ruolin interested.
"You can speak Chinese?" Lu Ruolin asked with great interest.
"Sir, yes. When he was a child, he stayed in Ming Kingdom for a while, so he could speak Chinese." Laijima Ryuma replied cautiously.
"Laidao? What is your relationship with Yiyu's country? "In Lu Ruolin's impression, the most famous surname of Laidao is the Yiyu's navy.
"The villain is from the Laijima family in Iyuguo." Ryuma Laijima replied proudly.
"Since I came from the Lai Island family, why did you come to the Big Island?" Lu Ruolin asked curiously.
When he arrived at Longma, he replied with a sad expression: "After the re-establishment of the master's family, there were too few fiefs and could not support too many people. Many branches of the island family could only come from the road to search for life. Our group came to Dadao. Because we were good at naval army, we became the head of the naval army."
"There are also naval forces in the big island? Why don't we know?" Lu Ruolin was very surprised. When the Jinzhou army took the big island, there were no warships.
Ryuma Laijima smiled bitterly and embarrassedly: "It was said that it was a navy army, but in fact there were only three warships, and it was Koyashi ship. At that time, these three ships were transporting goods to Edo, so the adults did not see it. However, I heard that it sank during the battle with your fleet, and they died in battle with the lords here."
"So that's it." Lu Ruolin nodded. "Since your lord was beaten to death by us, don't you want to avenge him?"
"The lord is dead, and the lord's family has also perished. Now I am a wandering warrior who wants to survive for my wife, children, and the elderly. How dare I offend the Ming Dynasty's heavenly soldiers? Moreover, it is inevitable that the two armies will be killed or injured in battle. This is all the arrangements of the gods." When I arrived at Longma, I was so scared that I knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying that I had no malice.
"It's best if you think so." Lu Ruolin had long seen that Shima Ryuma was not the kind of foolish and loyal person. If he had family to support him, he would definitely not be a fool to avenge his family.
"Since the master's family is gone, what are you going to plan in the future?" Lu Ruolin asked this question too abruptly, because people who are not close to each other would never ask this question, which made Laijima Longma stunned.
"What else can I do? I can only try my luck at other lords to see if I can find an errand." Laijima Ryuma smiled bitterly.
"It is difficult to find a wandering warrior like you?" Lu Ruolin knew very well that it would be difficult for the new lord to be taken in by the new lord without anyone introducing or guaranteeing it.
Moreover, life is not easy in Daming everywhere, and many of its own samurai cannot be placed, and there are very few cases of recruiting wandering samurai, so the future of coming to the island Ryuma is very worrying.
Laijima Ryuma said with a frustrated look: "You have to try it before you know."
"How is your boat-fighting skills?" Lu Ruolin asked.
Speaking of boat racing, a little glow finally appeared in Laijima's eyes: "The villain has grown up on the boat since he was a child, and with the family's inherited technology, there is naturally nothing to say about boat racing."
Since it is known as Laijima family and the navy leader of the Lord of the Big Island, it is definitely unreasonable if you don’t have any skills.
"Are you interested in working for me?" Lu Ruolin spoke directly to recruit me.
After hearing this, Ryuma asked in disbelief: "Sir, your warships are extremely powerful. With the ability of a villain, I am afraid it is difficult to be competent?"
Lu Ruolin didn't care, "I only realized after trying it out. Moreover, as long as you have the ability, there will always be a place suitable for you."
When he heard that Lu Ruolin had hundreds of warships, he came to the island and was shocked, "I am a Japanese, sir, don't you mind?"
"The generals under my command include Japanese, and thousands of Japanese serve me. As long as I am sincere and loyal to me, why should I mind?" Lu Ruolin replied with a smile.
Ryuma came to the island to look at a few Jinzhou soldiers who were obviously Japanese. They all kept smiling proudly and immediately made a decision.
"If the lord never abandons me, I will come to the island to serve the work of the dog and horse." When I arrived, I immediately fell to the ground, bowed my head and gave a big gift.
"Very good. From now on, you will be a member of my Ming Jinzhou Army."
"Yes, come to Ryuma to meet the lord, thank you for taking it in."
"Now I will give you a task. I don't care what method you use, try to recruit some Japanese sailors. If you perform well, I don't mind promoting your official position. Of course, the premise is that these sailors must be obedient and cannot be stubborn or slick. We don't want to have cruel and inhumane personality, so you must carefully screen them."
The first thing Lu Ruolin told Longma of Lai Island was to use his connections to recruit sailors, which was also a test for him.
"Yes, my subordinates will definitely complete the task to death." When Lai Dao Longma heard the task assigned to him by Lu Ruolin, he immediately became energetic.
Since Lu Ruolin has made arrangements, Han Yi will naturally take over the subsequent matters.
Although Han Yi didn't know why Lu Ruolin valued the Japanese who called Ryuma from the Island, he would definitely do his best to complete the things Lu Ruolin arranged.
When Lu Ruolin left, he donated some money to the Omiya Shrine, which was a habit of entering and leaving religious places. Although he didn't have much money, it still made the priests of the shrine happy. Because this at least proved Lu Ruolin's attitude, the shrine did not have to worry about being affected by the war.
The matter of Ryuma from Yoshihiroshima in South Korea was left to the Japanese officers below to handle, just to clarify his identity and provide him with money and convenience for recruiting sailors.
"Laidaojun, I have to say that your luck is really good. You can be recruited by our governor personally. The future will be expected to be successful." The soldier who was connected with Laidao Ryuma said enviously.
"Lucky, luck, please take care of Watanabe in the future." Ryuma Laijima was not familiar with the situation and still seemed very cautious.
"You should call me Li Songming in the future. This is my Chinese name. If you want to be recognized in the Jinzhou Army, you'd better give yourself a Chinese name."
"Thank you for your advice from Song Mingjun, I will pick one up right away."
"Since it was the order issued by the governor himself, we will definitely cooperate with each other. If you need money, you can just bring it up if you need it."
"Thank you, Song Mingjun. If you can, give me some food and a small boat. I can also find some people here."
"Okay. I'll give you five hundred stakes first, and add a small house. In addition, I think you have a difficult life, so I'll give you a salary of fifty stakes to settle your family. It's best to place them in a military camp, which is safer there."
Hearing that he gave so much money, there was a boat for the house, and a salary of fifty knots of advance, he felt that all this was too unreal, as if he was dreaming.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you so much." Laijima Ryuma said gratefully.
