Yu Shimingyan

Chapter 38
Don't you see that Princess Pingyang, a former slave of Ma, was once rich and honored and married as her husband.I don't see any melon growers at the east gate of Xianyang. Where is the former Marquis?The ups and downs, the high and the low, are like turning pills, and the situation changes in many ways.An expert who knows his fate is always beyond his reach, just look at an example in the puppet field.

This ancient style says that poor people have destiny: rich first and then poor, first cheap and then expensive, like clouds with no traces, changes in a blink of an eye, which cannot be predicted by people's imagination.And like Lu Mengzheng in the Song Dynasty, when he didn't meet, his family was in a difficult situation; he didn't have a full meal for three days, he got a melon on credit on the Tianjin Bridge, knocked it on the bridge pillar, and missed it and fell under the bridge; mouth.Later, the No. 1 Scholar and No. [-] achieved the status of prime minister, and built the Luogua Pavilion to realize the frustration of being poor.You say that a person who is the number one scholar or the prime minister will not have any blessings before his fate arrives.If when the melon was falling, he said to others: "This person will be honored later." It would not be an exaggeration to be made [-] faces and spit on a thousand loads of spittle.Who believed him?So it is said: the future is like black paint, which cannot be touched in the dark.Another example is Yang Rengao, a soldier of the Song Dynasty, who ruled for the prime minister Ding Jingong.In summer, carrying earth and rocks, sweating profusely.He complained and said: "born of the same parents, how happy are those who live in that house! How hard are we who work for him! It's exactly: the blessed serve everyone, and the unlucky serve others." Here Yang Rengao said The complaint was heard by the foreman, and he beat him with a leather whip until he swallowed his pain.A few years later, Prime Minister Ding offended him and was demoted to be the Sihu of Yazhou.Yang Rengao started his family from his relatives and went from official to Taiwei, so he was called the emperor's relative.The imperial court granted Prime Minister Ding's mansion to Yang Rengao to live in.Prime Minister Ding took care of his husband, obviously to be a foreman for Yang Rengao.It is exactly: the mulberry field becomes the sea, and the sea becomes the mulberry field.There is no certainty in poor communication, and the change is always up to the sky.

Gossip off topic.Now let's talk about a story called "Yang Balao's Adventure in Yue Country".That story is far from the Han and Tang Dynasties, and not far from the Second Song Dynasty; it comes from the time of Hu Yuan, the place of Xi'an Prefecture, Shaanxi.This Xi'an Mansion is the territory of Yongzhou in "Yu Gong".Zhou was called Wangji, Qin was called Guanzhong, Han was called Weinan, Tang was called Guannei, Song was called Yongxing, and Yuan was called Anxi.It is said that from the Yuan Dynasty to the Great Year, there was a man whose surname was Yang and whose first name was Fu. He was born on the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, and his nickname was Balao.Wife Li.She was only seven years old when she gave birth to a son, with a beautiful head, talented and intelligent, named Shi Dao.Needless to say, the husband and wife cherish each other.One day, Mr. Yang discussed with Mrs. Li: "I'm nearly [-] years old, I can't study well, and my family affairs are getting exhausted. My ancestors were originally merchants in Fujian and Guangxi. I want to collect some money, comprador goods, and sell goods in Zhangzhou. I don’t know what the lady wants?" Li said: "I heard that the management of the family is based on diligence and thrift. Is it a good plan to wait for the rabbit? Taking advantage of this prime of life, it is worthwhile; Don't hesitate to pack your luggage." The old man said: "Although so, it's just that the son and wife are delicate, so don't worry about it." Li Shi said: "The child is happy to grow up, and I can teach myself a lesson. I hope you will go back early." That day Negotiations have been made.Choose an auspicious day to go out, separate from my wife, take a young servant, called Suitong; go out on a boat, and head southeast all the way.There is an ancient article in the past, the hardships of being a businessman alone: ​​the most difficult life is to be a businessman, leaving his wife and children to leave his hometown.There is a lot of hard work for meals, wind, shelter and water, and I am busy when I wear stars and moons.The turmoil on the waterway is not stable, and Lu Cheng's chickens and dogs are scared to sleep.All my life's pride is gone, I don't sing a song and don't drink wine.If the money is small and the profit is small, but the capital is heavy, it will be a crime for everyone to have a jade.Occasionally, a small illness is bedridden, who will send the book for thousands of miles in the countryside?Not returning for three years a year, dreams and souls turned upside down, wives and children startled.The lanterns suddenly announce the arrival of pedestrians, and the doors are closed to celebrate each other like rebirth.Although a man is proud of traveling far away, it is not as good as getting together with his brothers and sisters.Please see the albatross on the river, how clumsily guards He Zengque's livelihood?

It is said that Yang Balao traveled to Zhangpu and stayed at the house of Bo's mother, waiting to buy Panyu's goods.It turns out that Bo's mother has no children, only one daughter, who is 23 years old.There was a son-in-law who helped each other to live, and the son-in-law also died.It's already an anniversary, and my daughter is a widow at home.Berber's mother was very happy to see that Mr. Yang Ba had a lot of money, was sincere and honest, and treated everyone in a friendly manner.He intends to recruit the widowed daughter to rely on her for life.The eighth old man refused at the beginning, but was repeatedly persuaded by Bo's mother: "Yang Guanren, you are from thousands of miles away, and you go out as guests. If you don't have relatives who are close to you, who will feel the pain? Now my daughter is young, so she just matches. Guanren Be a "two-headed man": when you go home, there is a lady at home; when you come to Zhangzhou, there is my daughter. You are not lonely when you travel on both sides; If you have a daughter, you want him to marry a good man, and you will have a son and a daughter in the future, and you will even be able to rely on your family. Even if your wife knows about it, she will not be offended. How many guests, prostitutes and brothels, make money spread. This It's still a matter of duty. Officials have to think long and hard, and don't have to push back." Seeing that what he said was reasonable, the old man had to agree.Choose a date to get married and marry into the Bo family.The husband and wife are harmonious and have nothing to say since then.Before February, Berberis became pregnant.After the due year, a baby is born, and the family is happy.During the three dynasties and the full moon, relatives celebrate, it's no problem.

But Yang Balao thinks about his hometown, his wife is charming and his son is young.After Chuyi got married, a year and a half later, he had to go back to his hometown to take a look.Because she was pregnant, she was worried; when she gave birth to a child, Bo Shi would not let him go.Time flies like an arrow, and I lived for three years without realizing it.The baby is also two years old, named Shide.Although he ranks with the morals of the world, he assumes the surname of Bo Shide and is called Bo Shide.One day, Yang Balao said to Bo Shi: "Go back to Guanzhong for a while, and come to see my wife." Bo Shi couldn't stay, so he had to obey.

The eight elders packed up the goods and got up.There are also people who put down the head account, separate from Suitong and press for it every day.In order to collect debts, the eight elders went to the front of the state, only to hang up the notice, which read: "I have recently received a clear text from the superior: Japanese pirates grow hair and rob along the coast. All states and counties must carefully patrol the police to prevent offenders. One When entering and exiting, all must be cross-examined. The gates of the city open late and close early." etc.After the eight elders read it, they were surprised!Thinking: "We want to leave, but we don't want to have this bandit police. If the Japanese bandits come sooner or later, they close the city gate, how can we know when it will be peaceful? It's better to walk as soon as possible." Instead of asking for debts, he turned around and turned around.It is only said that the accounts in arrears are urgent and hard to get, and it is not too late to come back to collect them.It smelled that there were bandits on the road, so I didn't take the goods with me; I just packed up some soft luggage, and I was going to set off tomorrow.Bo Shi couldn't bear to give up, hugged the three-year-old child, and said to her husband: "My mother just married the slave family to you for the sake of lifelong helplessness. Fortunately, I have such a little flesh and blood. If you don't look at the slave family, you must worry about the child. Qian Go early and come back early, so don't make my mother and child anxious." After speaking, I felt tears in my eyes.Yang Balao also had a good fate and said: "Lady, you don't need to worry about it. The couple has been married for three years, and the kindness is not small. It is a last resort to leave. After a year or so, we will meet again." That night, Bo's mother made a cup to see him off.

In the early morning of the next day, Yang Balao got up to wash up, said goodbye to his mother-in-law and wife, and took his companion on the road.In less than two days, I was surprised on the road.But see: boats and cars squeeze, men and women rush.Everyone is terrified, worried that the pirates are rampant; everyone is frightened, and only hates that the officers and soldiers are unprepared.Helping the young and bringing the old together, it's hard to keep running around on both feet; abandoning sons and wives, fleeing for one's life alone.Don't distinguish between rich and poor, but always be ordinary in times of crisis; those who manage cities, mountains and forests, only seek a piece of land for hiding.It is exactly: rather be a dog of peace than be a chaotic person.Yang Balao saw the people in the village, rushing in and out, and they all came to the city to escape.Legend has it that the Japanese pirates set fire to kill people all the way, and the officers and soldiers could not stop them.The sound was so close that it frightened the old man out of his wits, and he was in a dilemma.I had no idea, so I had to run with the crowd, "Let's go to Tingzhou City, and then work as a district office."

After walking for another two hours, about three miles away from the city, I suddenly heard shouts shaking the ground.The people behind all cried, but it was the Japanese pirates who came to kill them.Everyone was so frightened that their feet softened and they ran still.Seeing a forest next to him, Yang Balao walked towards the stab, and many people followed him to hide in the forest.Unexpectedly, Japanese pirates are wise, and they are used to scatter and ambush.In the forest, a Japanese jumps out first, and everyone deceives him that he is single, and they are waiting to fight against him bravely.I saw the Japanese blew Haipoluo, which made a humming sound.There are many Japanese thieves around, dancing with long knives one by one, jumping forward, and they don't know where they come from.There are a few rough men who used to have some hands and feet, desperate for their lives, and stepped forward to meet the enemy with the weapons in their hands.It's like throwing snow in the fire, blowing dust in the wind, being cut one by one by pirates, clearly chopping melons and vegetables.It made everyone kneel down together, only asking for mercy.

It turns out that the Japanese pirates would kill all the Chinese people they met.He captured women and raped them wantonly; when he became impatient, let him go alive.There are also sentient Japanese, which are generally given by private individuals.It's just that although this woman lost her life, she was laughed at for the rest of her life.If the men are old and weak, they will be killed; if they are strong, they will have their hair shaved, painted, and pretended to be Japanese.Whenever there is a fight, he is pushed to take the lead.As long as the officers and soldiers kill a head, they will be rewarded.In the past, among the people who were bald and had dysentery, he beheaded him to ask for credit; what's more, if he caught him on the battlefield, he would never forgive him, regardless of whether it was true or not.These fake Japanese who shaved their heads knew that they were dead, so they simply relied on the power of the Japanese, and they still had a reason to survive for a few days, so they usually did their best to commit crimes.Those real Japanese, just wait for the fake Japanese to block the front, and then they all come out behind.Therefore, the officers and soldiers repeatedly fell into the trap and could not win.There is a poem in the past, which only talks about the method of Japanese pirates' marching. The poem says: "The Japanese formations are not noisy, and they are slanting. The sound of snails flies the nymphs and butterflies, and the file walks the long snake. The fans are scattered and there is no shadow, and the sword is a flower. It is also true and false, causing disasters to disturb China." Yang Balao and a group of ordinary people were all captured by Japanese slaves.Like a turtle in a urn, or a fish in a cauldron, there is nowhere to hide, so you have to follow suit and try to survive.Suitong has disappeared, and I don't know how he is alive or dead.At this position, I can't control myself, so why worry about others?
Don't say that the eight elders are depressed.Let's say that all the Japanese slaves plundered many gold treasures in the countryside, and they were satisfied.Hearing that the Yuan Dynasty army was coming, they robbed many ships, drove the captives off the ship, sailed to the ocean together, and went back to Japan happily.It turns out that the Japanese slaves invaded the bandits, and many kings didn't know them.It's the poor people from all the islands who are traveling to the sea in partnership, like Chinese thieves and the like, where they are just doing business.Its plundering is also divided into branches, and they call themselves the title of king.When I went back, I still concealed it.The gold and silk obtained from the looting are shared equally; some people also donate one or two tenths to the leaders of the island to conceal each other.If they are killed by the Chinese, they are only used for trading and losing money.The strong and strong men captured were kept as servants.With his head shaved and his feet bare, he looks just like his own country; give him a sword fight and teach him how to jump into battle.The Chinese are afraid and dare not disobey.After a year and a half, I got used to the soil and water, and learned the Japanese dialect, which is no different from the real Japanese.

Time flies like an arrow, Yang Balao has lived in Japan for 19 years without knowing it.Every night I pray to the sky privately: "May the gods protect me, Yang Fu, and I will return to my hometown and meet my wife again."There are poems as evidence: 19 years of wandering in a foreign country, the dream of the soul of the town has been at a loss.Su Qing's trapped captives all escaped, and Hong Hao left behind gold and snow.

He is willing to keep the festival for China and North Korea, what is wrong with me as a prisoner?Shouqiu Wuji was heartbroken and prayed devoutly to heaven every night.It is said that during the Taiding period of Yuan Dynasty, Japan's years were poor and apologetic.All the Japanese gangs came to join the bandits again, and they also brought Yang Balao with them.One of the eight elders was happy, and the other was worried.Those who are happy, take this opportunity to go to China, Shaanxi and Fujian, and all have relatives.The emperor protects and protects, if there is a day when the flesh and blood meet again, it is unknown.Those who are worried, this body is full of images of Japanese slaves, even if I look in the mirror at home, I am surprised, how can others recognize it?What's more, swords and guns are ruthless, and this trip will be more dangerous than good, and it will cost your life in vain.It's just a saying, I'd rather be a ghost of my hometown than a man of barbarians.Poor every day, I wish I could only stay in Shaanxi and Fujian during this trip, but it would be futile if I went elsewhere.

It turns out that there is a certain number of days for Japanese pirates to sail across the ocean, depending on the wind: if it is north wind, they will offend Guangdong Road; if it is east wind, they will offend Fujian Road; if it is northeast wind, they will offend Wenzhou Road;At this time, the weather in February, all the Japanese boarded the ship and left the shore, just as the northeast wind was blowing.For several days in a row, it couldn't stop blowing, and it drifted all the way to Wenzhou.At that time, the Yuan Dynasty was in peace for a long time, and the coastal defenses were sparse.There were only a few ships and hundreds of old and weak soldiers, all of whom could not bear to resist the battle and fled in the wind.All the Japanese landed openly, and they had to set fire to kill people.Although Yang Balao didn't want to, he couldn't help but follow the team.This time, from February to August, the government and army lost several battles in a row and robbed several towns.Turned to plunder Ningshao, and then went to Yuhang, the ferocity is beyond description.All prefectures, states, and counties wrote emergency forms and applied to the court.Under the order of the Ministry of War, Marshal Puhua of Pingjiang Road was sent to lead the army to conquer.Marshal Puhua is resourceful and resourceful, and has many elite soldiers and generals under his command.He was ordered to rejuvenate the division against the sun and make a drastic move to kill and rush to Zhejiang Road.Outpost to inquire: Japanese pirates occupy Qingshui gate as a cave.Marshal Puhua made an appointment with soldiers and horses in the middle of Zhejiang, advancing by land and water.The Japanese pirates usually despise the officers and soldiers and don't care.Unexpectedly, under Marshal Puhua, there are ten commanders in command, all of whom have undeserved courage.The army often carried firearms and ambushed on all sides. When the Japanese pirates were in full swing, the ambushes would start, and all the firearms would explode, killing him without a trace, and he was defeated and lost.More than a thousand people were beheaded, and more than two hundred people were captured alive.Those who snatched boats and escaped for their lives were intercepted and killed by waterway officers and soldiers, and many of them fell into the water and died.Marshal Puhua won the victory and rewarded the three armies. He was afraid that the remaining Japanese would not be exhausted, so he sent troops to search for them.The truth is: Rao Yi is as fierce as a wolf and a tiger, and he will suffer disaster when the evil is full.
