Xinshun 1730

Chapter 355
"Yelu Yuanzhang is not as good as me."

The mood of the people below Tokugawa Yoshimune is like that summer day in the 17th year of Xiangbao. It's really hard to express the feeling of being shattered all at once.

In despair, Aoki Kunyang thought of one more thing, and came up with a "bad" idea.

"His Royal Highness, Zenzaburo Nishi of Nagasaki once borrowed a book from the Dutchman called "Kunstwoordenboek", which roughly means an academic dictionary. The words in it are obscure and difficult to understand, and they are all professional words of Southern barbarian culture."

"The vocabulary in this book is difficult to understand. It is expected that Liu Yu may not understand Dutch. Why not copy some words from this book? Some of the words are so long that even the Dutch don't understand them, especially the academic vocabulary, which is not known by these Dutch businessmen. I can understand."

"So I took some lengthy words from this book and made up a random letter."

"Although I'm not talented, I know the classification. There are laws, international laws, and naval warfare entries. Although I don't know the meaning of those words, I can choose some of these entries to make them fake."

"If Liu Yu gets this letter, he will definitely not recognize it. If he has doubts in his heart, he will probably go back to the Tang Dynasty and ask the Dutch to translate it. However, Dutch businessmen will not recognize these lengthy academic vocabulary. It is difficult to translate."

"Occasionally there are one or two that can be recognized, and they are also related to international law, oceans, laws, and naval warfare. If so, Liu Yu may be even more suspicious."

"Dutch storytellers often say that they don't like the Tang Kingdom. It's hard to come to the Tang Kingdom to understand Dutch. Besides, the Tang Kingdom has just banned religion not long ago, and most of the teachings in the country are the teachings of the Nanban Qiezhitan Sect, which is not in common with the Netherlands. Even if Liu Yu is knowledgeable, he probably understands the teaching language of the Chietchitan religion, such as Spanish and Portuguese."

"I also know that this method is not good, but there is really no other way now. It is up to His Highness to decide whether to implement it."

This idea is so bad that it can't be any more bad. Indeed, if you don't know Western characters, you will be confused.In particular, some special professional vocabulary is more likely to be completely incomprehensible.

But if you can find the classification of the dictionary and pick out some content related to naval warfare, ocean, and trade, even if you can find someone to translate one or two, it will be more suspicious.

For a while, he really couldn't think of a better way, Ooka Tadashi said: "This Dutch letter can only be called by Liu Yu, not his income. Even though he is superb in skill, he can only remember a few lines. It flashed by. In the future, I will copy it and find someone to translate it, as long as the few lines of text that I deliberately let him read are professional vocabulary about trade and naval warfare."

To fill this loophole, Tokugawa Yoshimune hesitated for a while, and finally made a decision.

While quickly sending people to Nagasaki, they urgently recruited people from the Dutch business house to come to Edo, and conveyed the intention of borrowing the Dutch navy as soon as possible.

On the one hand, they will send someone to contact Liu Yu to complete Ooka's idea as much as possible.

Two days later, Aoki Kunyang, who hadn't slept for two days and two nights, forged a letter from the Dutch that he didn't understand, and forged a Dutch-style storytelling book.

Kuai Ma dispatched a boat and told Liu Yu that he had no intention of fighting against Uraga.

If Liu Yu is willing to negotiate, the talks will be held in Miura. The shogunate claims to believe in Liu Yu's benevolence and righteousness, so he will not send troops. If Liu Yu still does not believe it, the negotiation venue can be on Liu Yu's warship.

Needless to say, the candidates for negotiation have their own system.

Talking with Tang people, it is unavoidable to fight over words like benevolence and righteousness, which makes there no second person.

It must be the head of the Holy Church University, the Imperial College Jijiu similar to the Celestial Dynasty, the spiritual leader of Confucianism in Japan, and the Lin family, Lin Xinchong, who is similar to the Yan Shenggong family.

There is a holy hall in Edo, and there are portraits of Yan, Huang, Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, Wen, Wu, Zhou Gong, Confucius and others. The pen is Kano Shanxue who painted "Song of Everlasting Regret". When Liu Yu went to Edo, he went to the holy hall to see it. The portrait of Yao, Shun and Yu Tang - he was curious at the time, and wanted to see if Confucius had his head shaved off like the Man Qing, but he saw the painting hymn of the Joseon envoy in the ninth year of Chongzhen, using It's in Chinese, and the writing is not bad. It's just that at this time, the Koreans are running to Edo very frequently, which surprised Liu Yu.

If there is no second candidate for the main envoy, then there is no second candidate for the deputy envoy. It must be that the Edo town at this time is enshrined in Ooka Chusho.

The rest of the Confucian scholars, such as Qingmu Kunyang, also went with them.

Liu Yu felt that none of the marines were on board at this time, and the sailors couldn't make a good-looking guard of honor when they disembarked.

It would be nice to have all the military officers disembark, but he was afraid of some conspiracy by the devil, so he reimbursed all the officer students he had painstakingly cultivated on the shore. .

Since Lin Xinchong is the head of the Holy Church, he studied Confucian classics hard, so he didn't have much admiration for such a strong ship and powerful gun.

Tadashi Ooka, Aoki Kunyang and the others saw Liu Yu's battleship from a distance and heard the sound of gun salutes, they could only sigh deeply.

The boat that greeted them was on the shore, and Tadashi Ooka looked at the warships floating on the sea from a distance, thinking how could he defeat them?
What's the use of those small boats in Edo, three to five hundred?Unless Liu Yu lost his head and sailed the boat to a tidal flat with unknown sea conditions, or entered some rivers, it would be useless to just fight fiercely at sea, even if the samurai were full of wisdom and died.

The "good impression" left by sweet potato famine relief and currency reform back then has all turned into cunning premeditation at this time. Whether it is Aoki Kunyang or Ooka Tadashi, they all hate Liu Yu.

After boarding the boat, Liu Yu had already changed into his official official uniform, bowed his hands and greeted the other party. At this time, even if he could communicate in Japanese, he would not be able to lower his status to speak Japanese. He must be an interpreter. of.

There wasn't much courtesy on both sides, so a horizontal table was set up on the deck, each occupying one side.

The first shot at the beginning was from Lin Xinchong.

"I heard that the three emperors stand upright, and the Zen sect of the five emperors, but China has a master, how can it be harmonious with others without a king? The universe is vast, and it is not the sole power of one master; the universe is wide and flooded, and it is divided into various states. The one who conquers the world is the one. The world of the world is not the world of one person."

"In a country of harmony, the city is less than sixty, and the territory is less than three thousand, and there is still a heart of contentment; Shun Tianzi is the lord of China, with more than thousands of cities, and a border of a million miles, there is still a heart of insufficiency."

"Don't you hear that the way of heaven is to make up for what's not enough?"

"Hanwu opened the frontier, so there was an edict of Luntai; the Tang emperor expanded the land, so there was the disaster of Anshi. The Mongolian Yuan was vast, but it eventually turned into dust, and the ancestral temple collapsed... This is sincerely in line with the way of heaven."

"Heren knows the way to make up for the loss of the sky, how can he have the heart to swallow the Ryukyu? General Kuang Zhengyi lives in Edo, thousands of miles away from the Ryukyu, how can he know?"

"Based on General Liu's fallacy, the chaos in the towns at the end of the Tang Dynasty and the loss of life are all the crimes of the Tang emperor? The Ming campaign in Annan and the slaughter of soldiers are all Yongle's orders?"

"Besides, there are no thieves in Shun? All officials are clean? Based on General Liu's fallacy, isn't it General Liu who slandered the Son of China?"

Lin Xinchong seized the loopholes in what Liu Yu said before, and made a head start.

Liu Yu said that stabbing and killing people is not a crime of soldiers, but a crime of people.Lin Xinchong asked back, if the people under his command slaughtered, could the emperor who didn't know should be held responsible?
He insisted that the shogunate did not know about it at all, and said that the shogunate knew the truth of "the universe is wide and flooded, and the states are divided to defend", and they would never have the idea of ​​​​swallowing Ryukyu.It is not clear whether this matter is true or not, and even if it is true, the shogunate does not know.

It's a pity that Zhao Baiquan had already returned to the capital to return to his command at this time, and none of the people around Liu Yu could fight in terms of talking.

He didn't come here to talk, but to put pressure on the shogunate. What should be done has been done. Now he wants to test the attitude of the shogunate to determine how much meat he can bite off during the negotiation.

At this time, I suffered from the loss of my education level, and I thought to myself, if you really have the guts, go and chat with the admonishing doctors in the Forbidden City, what is the use of talking to me here?
"You said that your general didn't know about it? Then Ryukyu's participation in Edo, could it be that the Ryukyu people saw ghosts?"

He knew that he was not capable enough to talk about the righteousness of nature and the like, so he simply acted like a shrew arguing, full of yin and yang, and cursed as soon as he opened his mouth.

Shi Shiyong and others on the side of Liu Yu laughed, and they didn't know what happened to Ying Suobo. When they called the Japanese people they often called them ghosts, but now they mocked the Japanese people as ghosts. It seems that they are used to it. mouth.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xinchong held his breath, and asked with a sneer, "General Liu, according to what you said, Ryukyu has been deceiving China. Then, since Ryukyu has been deceiving China, why can they be trusted? They could be deceived before. Well, won't they lie to General Liu when he's gone?"

"I've heard that Xiezhi's divine sheep can tell the truth. Is it possible that General Liu is actually Xiezhi?"

Xiezhi, Lin Xinchong pronounced it directly in Chinese, and paused on purpose.

After the interpreter finished the last sentence, all the officers around Liu Yu began to curse.

The last sentence, before Dashun, was definitely a compliment.Saying that people are gods and beasts Xiezhi is not a curse at all.

But... Just like after the Song Dynasty, very few people named their children Qin Hui. An incident at the beginning of the founding of Dashun made this divine beast that could tell the truth from the false and distinguish the right from the wrong into a curse word.

Roughly equivalent to from Miss to Miss, from Comrade to Comrade, vocabulary always has the precipitation of historical changes.

The most difficult time for Dashun to found a country, but there was a man named Sun Zhixie!The ideology of Dashun's founding has changed from equalizing land and exempting grain to protecting the world, and it is destined that this person will be listed alongside Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui and others in Dashun's small books.

Since then, the innocent animal Xiezhi, just like the innocent juniper, has disappeared in Dashun.

Xiezhi, Xiezhi, is no longer a respected beast of public security and law, but has been dismantled into two words, and all of them have suddenly become curse words.

Needless to say, insects are not a good thing to say.

Lin Xinchong didn't just say it casually, he must have come prepared. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, many people traveled east to Japan. Even if Japan locked the country, it is impossible for them not to know about it.

The military officers around Liu Yu are not uneducated, nor are they Qiu Ba, but they grew up in the political environment of Dashun, and the word Xie can almost reach the top of literati curses in Dashun.

Usually, they respect Liu Yu the most, but at this time, everyone is exhaling fragrantly, wishing they could just turn the table over.When the Japanese swear, there are only a few sentences that are repeated over and over again. When the translation is difficult, they have a change of mind, and they do not interpret, and write down the words directly.

Liu Yu listened to the swearing words of the people around him and they were all uneducated. The old man who was a mother in his heart knew how important the courtesy government was today.I don't need a doctor's servant, my mother, as long as there is a Yuanwailang from the government, I won't be so noisy on my side today.
