golden scales

Yang Wei regretted his servant's understanding ability.What he needed was a place to sell books, so that he could buy some miscellaneous books such as story books to pass the time, but Pu Dehuan actually brought him to the castle of the lord of the Tsushima domain.

This three-story castle tower is like a large watchtower, standing alone in the city.The base of the wall is made of random stones, although it is not very beautiful, it looks solid.

Standing outside the gate of the castle tower, Yang Wei saw Pu Dehuan and the gatekeeper Tsushima Fansugaru talking about something he didn't understand, and felt a little uncomfortable.

Pu Dehuan's negotiation process went very smoothly, and after returning to the pavilion, Ashigaru came out again, expressing that the feudal lord was willing to meet the Ming official.

After hearing Pu Dehuan's return, Yang Wei faintly felt that it was not in line with etiquette.I am here to report to General Chen De, how can I visit other people before reporting?What's more, this person is still a foreign feudal lord.Now that Daming is still a guest in Tsushima, what kind of etiquette should he use when meeting the landlord here?

"I just want to say, you actually caused me so much trouble by talking to yourself?" Yang Wei felt a little headache. If he didn't go in, he might be misunderstood as a way to amuse people.

Pu Dehuan couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence, let alone what trouble there was.In his opinion, Daming is the most powerful country in the world, and everyone should obey Daming's instructions.As an officer of Daming, Yang Wei can naturally exercise authority on this land on behalf of Daming, so what does it matter if he meets that feudal lord?Update [-] East Neighbor Night Banquet Song Shangqi and Shang Qi were in a stalemate, an old monk fifty years away had come out of the castle tower, went straight to Yang Wei, bowed and saluted, and introduced himself: "The poor monk is Guibo Xuanfang I was ordered to come out to meet His Excellency the military attache of the Ming Dynasty."

The Tsushima clan was in charge of the trade between Japan and North Korea, and there was also a Wakan in Busan, so many people in the country could speak Korean and a little Chinese.Compared with Pu Dehuan's Chinese level, Guibo Xuanfang's Chinese can at least be understood by Yang Wei.

Yang Wei slightly bowed his body.As a return of courtesy, he said: "Please tell your superior, I just want to borrow books, and I don't dare to disturb your superior. I didn't make it clear about the meeting."

Guibo Xuanfang was a little surprised, but quickly calmed down.Said: "Shangguan is polite, don't bother me. My lord really likes to have a story with the loyal and brave military officer of Ming Dynasty."

——The point is that I don't like it!

Yang Wei is still young after all, especially under the influence of the education of respecting elders, he doesn't know how to forcefully reject this rather charitable old monk.

"Then please lead the way." Yang Wei said bravely, thinking to himself: It seems that I have to write a report when I go back.well.If the higher-ups didn’t know about it, I would be troubled if I wrote the report;What a mess.Update [-] East Neighbor Night Banquet song Shang Qi Yang Wei couldn't help but raised his right hand and scratched the itchy scalp on the back of his head. His hair felt greasy and he hadn't taken a good bath for many days.

Xuanfang led Yang Wei into the Tianshou Pavilion, stopping from time to time to bow and guide the way, and he had to give way at every intersection.Yang Wei was quite surprised by the level of ethics in Japan.In his original understanding, Japan can barely be regarded as a "country", which is better than a country of barbarians.

The current lord of the Tsushima Domain, Zong Yoshisei, is the eldest son of the first domain lord, Zong Yoshitomo.Already over fifty years old, quite old.These days, he often thinks about Tsushima Fan's future.

As the barrier of the Japanese archipelago, Tsushima Island felt the pain of being a "barrier" as early as when the Mongolian Yuan invaded. This is why Zongyicheng chose a compromise policy against the arrival of the Ming army.

At any rate, the Ming army did not enter the bandits on a large scale. Most of the Ming army stationed on Tsushima Island were actually Korean soldiers who were harmless to humans and animals.

I heard that a young military officer of the Ming Dynasty asked to see him to borrow books.Zong Yi had a whim and wanted to talk to the military officer.Let's see what kind of country Ming is.

When Yang Wei stood in front of Zong Yicheng, Zong Yicheng was a little surprised.Because the military officer is too young.

"What skills does your official use for the king's affairs?" Zong Yicheng tried his best to ask in classical Chinese, and was translated to Yang Wei by the learned monk Guibo Xuanfang.

Yang Wei was a little surprised, this kind of question and answer is quite ancient.

It seems that similar problems can often be seen in "Warring States Policy".

Since Huaxia had the imperial examination, who would ask such a question?

"I graduated from martial arts, so it's useful." Yang Wei replied simply.

This is not the first time Zong Yicheng has heard of martial arts.Because of the existence of martial arts, he even put a lot of effort into the education system of Ming Dynasty, presenting many gifts to the officers of the Ming army stationed in Tsushima, just to understand the truth of education in Ming Dynasty.

As a hereditary lord and feudal lord, Zongyi Chengzhen had a hard time understanding how someone could be appointed simply because of his knowledge and ability, regardless of his birth.

"How many heroes like your official are there in Daming?" Zong Yicheng asked again.

After hearing the translation, Yang Wei smiled and said, "I'm just a small second lieutenant, the lowest rank among officers. People like me, 3000 people enlist in the army every year."

The annual enrollment of the Armed Forces University has reached [-], with a total of more than [-] students in the four grades.There are only more than three thousand qualified graduates each year, and there is a growing trend.

Zong Yicheng was taken aback. Let alone an officer, it is a big deal for [-] recruits to replenish the army every year.He remembered that his father once talked about the Battle of Wenlu and Qingchang. The person who first communicated with North Korea was Jingzhe Xuansu, an eminent monk of the Linji sect, who was also the master of Xuanfang Xuanfang.At that time, Monk Xuansu was like the king of North Korea asking to "excuse the Ming Dynasty". Because North Korea did not agree, this was the battle of Wenlu North Korea.

What if North Korea agreed at that time?I am afraid that the tens of thousands of troops will be completely wiped out in Daming.

Zong Yicheng felt his forehead sweat.

Yang Wei didn't want to stay here for a long time, so he said directly: "I was looking for some books to read, I'm afraid the attendants misunderstood. It is really a destiny to see the feudal lord today, but we can't bother you too much, so I will leave now." Walk.

Xuan Fang hurriedly asked to stay: "The Zong family indeed has a lot of rare books for the noble officials. Why should the noble officials leave in such a hurry?"

"I just arrived in your place today, and I still have to report to the army. Please allow me to visit you another day." Yang Wei was determined to leave this time, got up and saluted, and rushed out the door.

Zong Yicheng still doesn't know what happened.Looking towards Xuanfang.

Xuan Fang said helplessly: "It's really rude."

Zong Yicheng sighed, and said: "Send someone to see you off. Master, I am very worried about the movements of the Ming Kingdom. Tang Yu said: The visitors are not kind. I am afraid they are the ones you are talking about."

Xuan Fang was silent for a moment, then said: "My lord, Ming country's bad behavior is a good thing for us."

"Oh? Please clarify, master."

Xuanfang said: "The shogunate has made the shogunate system more stable by disposing of Yanagawa. In the long run, the vassals will only be gradually eroded by the shogunate, and eventually the vassals will be abolished and counties will become a system like the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the clans of the vassals. Can it still be passed on? Can the family name be passed on? It's hard to say."

Zong Yicheng nodded, and said with a long breath: "Let the Ming Dynasty loosen the shogunate. Let the vassals regain power, and even return to the troubled times of the Warring States Period?"

"It is undeniable that this is indeed bad for the people, but it is a good thing for our clan." Xuanfang said: "If the world is in chaos, our clan can rely on trade with North Korea and Ming to maintain neutrality. When other daimyos are exhausted. This is the time for our Fan to send troops to Kyushu."

Zong Yicheng was encouraged when he heard this, but he knew that his body was getting old, so he said with regret: "Yuanwang can only give Yizhen the power to dominate Kyushu."...

"Yizhen Palace will definitely become the overlord of one party." Xuan Fang replied seriously.

"But I'm a little worried about Zhenchun," Zong Yicheng frowned, "he's getting too close to the people of Ming."

"My lord, I'm worrying too much, it's just young people's curiosity about rare things." Xuan Fang persuaded.

……

Maharu is Zong Yicheng's second son, Miao's name is Hosokawa, and he is drinking tea and smelling the fragrance in the Ming Kingdom Commercial Hall under the town at this time.very comfortable.

The shop owner is a middle-aged man who is slightly bald.Since the promulgation of the shogunate lock-up order, Ming people have been unable to enter Japan, but because of racial proximity.Many Ming merchants stayed in Japan as Japanese. They also spoke Japanese, practiced Japanese customs, and took Japanese names, just like real Japanese.

This boss is one of them, and he still uses his family's Lin family as his surname.Since the name Zongsheng.

"This is the latest flint iron cannon from the Ming Dynasty. Even in rainy days, it can be fired as long as the gunpowder is not wet." Lin Zongsheng introduced a beautifully crafted handgun with a smile on his face.

This pistol is only one and a half feet long.The excellent Su steel is used, which is dark and cold.No expense was spared on the wood used on the gun body. It was made of high-quality elm wood with a deep luster.

Hosokawa Maharu put the pistol in his hand, looked left and right, couldn't put it down, but he didn't dare to ask the price of this pistol.Because all Ming products are expensive in Japan.Although he is the son of the feudal lord, he has no inheritance rights and only a little pocket money, which is not enough for him to buy such an exquisite weapon.

The only thing he can do is to drink some tea in this shop, enjoy the high-quality life of the Ming Dynasty, and help the boss improve the quality of the shop by the way, let the business travelers and wild warriors know that the shop is protected by the clan, and avoid some troubles.

"I really don't want to let it go!" Maharu Hosokawa sighed, gently stroking the cold barrel with his fingertips.

"This pistol can be given to Zhenchun Palace." Lin Zongsheng laughed in a low voice, not hiding the sinister aura behind his smile.

"Oh?" Hosokawa Maharu looked at the seemingly loyal face: "I can't afford such an expensive payment."

Lin Zongsheng said in a lower voice: "Actually, this is just a small reward."

"Reward? Recently, someone troubled you and you called me back in the name of my family?"

"No, it's a deal that hasn't been completed yet." Lin Zongsheng said cautiously: "Zhenchundian, I heard that the Maori family in Shimen bought a big tube from Ming Dynasty... Fortunately, I can also buy the same big tube, Just a buyer..."

I have been a fan of Yinying Yang for 20 years. When I saw a book friend’s QQ avatar using the standard photo of Brigadier General Yang, the role of Yang Wei came into my mind as soon as I opened my mind.In fact, whether it is Zhang, San, Li, Si, Wang, or Wu Mazi, this role has no influence on the writing, right?Since you are a friend who has seen Yinying, why bother to complain?There is no need to say something strange like "the author must not be able to write any more".
