Section 548 in Tianjin
Yan Dashao left the Wa Kingdom and received 500,000 taels of silver, as well as 50,000 strong Japanese people, who were included in Southeast Asia as slaves.
In fact, there could have been more Japanese people, but the officers of the Southeast Army were discouraged by the barbaric acts of the Shogunate Army, and after accepting those Japanese people, they ended in a hurry and no longer cooperated with the Shogunate Army.
The silver and slaves were sent back to Taiwan first, and Yan Dashao led the fleet all the way north to patrol Sakhalin!
Ask elementary school students in Southeast Province, where is the northernmost part of the Southeast Province region?
Elementary school students will tell you that the northernmost part of my southeast province is in Yonggui County!
On Sakhalin Island, there is a very small county-level organization called "Yonggui County", and the name of the county is none other than Yan Dashao, who wants to make this place forever return to China!
There are very few permanent county residents, and the garrison at the company level is changed every five years, and the conditions are difficult.
However, Yeonggui County is very lively, and in the summer, there are often more than 5,000 people active there, and the main business is to kill whales!
There are a lot of whales there in summer, the whole body of the whale is a treasure, it is a major business income in the southeast province, people kill the whale to extract oil, and transport the whale oil back to the southeast province, which is one of the important ways to source lamp oil in the southeast province.
Far away from the northern captives, the northern captives could not come, and the Japanese called the Sakhalin area "Northern Ezo Land" (referring to the north of Hokkaido), originally some Japanese people were active there, but with the issuance of the Japanese state lockdown order, those Japanese people were all driven away by the southeast government!
If you don't leave, you will be a slave in the southeast province!
The southeast province "planted the island", is for the erection of stone monuments, and the Sakhalin area has become China's territory since ancient times!
When the citizens of Yonggui County woke up and saw the huge fleet on the sea, they couldn't help but be stunned, they let out a warm cheer and lined up to welcome, and when they saw that it was the supreme commander, many people were so excited that they shed tears!
Yan Dashao cordially greeted the soldiers guarding the frontier, and then went out to sea to kill whales!
This guy is belligerent, he can't kill whales, he personally sits in a dinghy, bare-chested, holds a harpoon, and kills whales!
So the baby whales fell into bad luck, and they killed fifty of them.
In fact, they were able to kill more, but before they set sail, they counted and there were not enough containers for fuel, so they had to give up.
After the killing, I visited North Korea on the way back and was warmly welcomed by the Korean monarchs!
Seeing the battleships of the South-Eastern Fleet, the North Koreans were greatly encouraged.
Then Yan Dashao's fleet raised the banner of the Ming Fujian Navy Division and drove into Tianjin Port in a dignified manner!
Tianjin port because of the undertaking of the south to transport the materials, and become very prosperous, these years, with the strong rise of Yan Changwu, shipping booming, especially in Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, all do not take the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, almost the Yangtze River north of the people and goods are shipping, and the terminal is Tianjin, resulting in Tianjin unusual prosperity, the end is the mast such as a forest, the flow of people such as crucian carp, the goods are piled up like a mountain.
The influence of the Southeast Mansion in Tianjin is very large, since 1630, every general army has passed through the Southeast Mansion, and the civil officials have made it convenient for the Southeast Mansion---- the Southeast Mansion has been handy in dealing with them, the greedy give money, and the too greedy and the high-ranking ones get their superiors to transfer them away, and over time, the officials know that the Southeast Mansion is not easy to mess with, and they will let their actions go unchecked.
Tianjin's civil and military forces were infiltrated by the Southeast Prefecture, and several generals were trained by the Southeast Army, and they had muskets, and their subordinates were recruited by officers from the Southeast Prefecture.
Although Yan Changwu did not land with great fanfare, it was not a problem to disguise himself as a passerby and go ashore.
It is very safe, and unlike other places, the officials and citizens in Tianjin are enthusiastic about making money and have no time to do anything.
As the center of north-south trade, Tianjin has a lot of opportunities to make money, every day is very noisy, in fact, the Chinese are the most real people in the world, as long as they create conditions for them to make money, they will concentrate on busy, do not talk nonsense.
They browse Tianjin, it is indeed prosperous, and it is also very comfortable----- municipal imitation is the southeast, the road hard bottom has sewers, clean, compared to Beijing at that time, a rain will become a big mud pond, Tianjin is proud to be a livable city.
Yan Changwu and Mr. David together visited the Mazu East Temple and the West Temple in Tianjin, and the couplet written at the entrance of the West Temple reads: "Mending the gods of Tianwa, walking the mother goddess of the earth, Dazai Qian, to Zai Kun, the goddess of the two ages; Governing the water Yu Sheng, Jichuan Hou Sheng, the river is clear, the sea is Yan, and Kyushu is the same holy merit" made Mr. David amazed and said: "Who writes this, and the Tao is full of Niangniang's prestige and merit!" ”
As a red-haired fan, he is also a believer in Mazu Niangniang, and the firmness of his faith makes the Chinese embarrassed, and he gets up every morning to pray, pray for three meals and pray before going to bed, and often goes to the temple to burn incense and give alms.
"It's strange, this calligraphy is a little familiar, the characters are big and ugly!" Mr. David said suspiciously.
Yan Dashao said unhappily: "Of course you are familiar, the person who wrote this couplet is just a mere talent!" ”
He tapped his nose with his hand, and Mr. David was shocked and said, "Admire! Admire! ”
After a while, he whispered, "You're not looking for a gunman's couplet, are you?" ”
Yan Dashao said angrily: "Go, go!" Find a copy of it and show it to me! ”
They walked leisurely through the market, and Yan Dashao even invited Mr. David to eat Tianjin Wei's tofu brain together, and the two big men sat on the small stools of the food stalls and ate with relish, making their guards speechless.
Really, what's so delicious about tofu brain!
I have to say that these two people really smell the same, walking through the streets and alleys in Tianjin, eating snacks, tasting Tianjin's authentic deliciousness, and buying antiques, there are really many antiques in that period, they specially invited a familiar broker together, what is embarrassing is that Mr. David is very honest about those cultural relics and ancient coins, and the boss is covered in blood at the bargain, and Yan Dashao is like falling clouds and smoke, and he doesn't know what he and the boss are talking about!
He said smugly: "I seriously suspect that you are a Chinese reincarnation!" ”
Mr. David said in a foreign tone: "As long as the kung fu is deep, the iron rod is sharpened into a needle!" ”
Hearing this, Yan Dashao got goosebumps and stayed away from him.
It's rare to let go of the wind, the two of them do whatever they want, and soon, there is a rumor in Tianjin City that a person from the southeast province is close to each other, and the thing is going on together, some people who catch the narrowness say that the taste of the southeast people is really heavy!
Or some people say that Yan Dashao's portraits are flying all over the sky, and people can't recognize Yan Dashao?
That's because his portrait has been photoshopped...... Everyone on the earth knows that the effect of beautification is enough to make people unrecognizable to him, plus there is no gold outfit with him, and there is no glorious image, and now it is ordinary, and people really can't recognize it.
After seven days in Tianjin, Yan Dashao enjoyed that leisurely life very much, and Mr. David was at ease with the encounter, and the two got up before dawn in the shore pavilion and returned after dark.
Sometimes, they sit down in a tea shop by the Haihe River in Tianjin, and sit all day, drinking tea and looking at the scenery outside.
Sometimes, Mr. David set up an easel and painted a map of Tianjin's wells and landscapes, and his paintings of "Tianjin Harbor" and "Tianjin Temple Fair" exhausted the prosperous scene of Tianjin at that time, and a hundred years later, his two paintings were sold at a high price.
It's a pity that such days can't last long, they have to leave Tianjin, on the battleship, Yan Changwu changed his bright face from the past spring, became gloomy, looked at Tianjin that was gradually moving away, and did not move his eyes for a long time.
Mr. David said softly, "Are you ready to abandon Tianjin?" ”
