Fireworks in March down Yangzhou, Yangzhou since ancient times is the literati and scholars like the city, although Zhou Gongjin is a military general, but also has the reputation of the stranger such as jade, if it is left in the usual, Zhou Gongjin must now stroll in the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, drink with friends, and poetry with courtesans.

But now Zhou Gongjin is sloppy and sloppy jumping on the beach, since accepting His Majesty's order last year, Zhou Gongjin sent seven warships to Fusang, but more than half a year has passed, the seven warships have no news at all, Zhou Gongjin has made the worst plans, and they are planning to report to the court to die in battle.

At this time, Zhou Gongjin suddenly got good news, the three battleships came back, and the Northeast Navy Division met them in Seoul, and now they are on their way to Yangzhou.

The most annoying thing is that there is a group of bald donkeys behind him, and the old bald donkey headed by him is Xuanzang, Zhou Gongjin does not believe in Buddhism, but his grandmother does, so in order to make the old man happy, Zhou Gongjin has also studied a lot of Buddhist scriptures, among which the most famous sentence of Buddhism is "the true scripture needs to cross to Fusang country", Zhou Gongjin also knows.

Xuanzang came to Zhou Gongjin and said, "Zhou Shuai, I don't know when those people will arrive?" ”

Although he secretly scolded this old bald donkey in his heart for being troublesome, he still said politely on his face: "Master Xuanzang, it's not a joke to miss the deadline in the army, it's going to be beheaded, and Li Han will definitely arrive today." ”

"My Buddha is merciful, and I hope that Zhou Shuai will be merciful and not exercise military law casually." Xuanzang said with his hands folded.

Zhou Gongjin replied with a smile: "It is right for the master to have this kind of compassion, but our soldiers talk about mercy and not being in charge of the army, and the military law is ruthless, please don't be surprised by the master." ”

"Amitabha." Xuanzang recited the Buddha's name and stood aside without speaking.

As the sun set, Zhou Gongjin's heart also sank, Zhou Gongjin had been waiting here for a full day, if Li Han and the others didn't come again today, then he really couldn't save them, and the military judge would not allow him to bend the law for personal gain.

Just when Zhou Gongjin had already decided that they would not come back, a small sea boat appeared on the sea, and it quickly sailed towards the shore with the tide.

"Dashuai, here, Xiao knows that boat, it is General Li Han's ship." A pro-soldier ran over and said with a shout.

Zhou Gongjin finally put down a big stone in his heart, and instructed his own soldiers: "Hurry up and find the cooks and tell them that those fat pigs can be put into the pot." ”

"Yes, handsome."

Zhou Gongjin stood here, watching his brothers come down one by one, Li Han took the lead, and then followed by the wounded soldiers, and finally the soldiers who came down were holding a box, this small wooden box Zhou Gongjin knew very well, this is an urn, since His Majesty reformed the new military law, every army has it.

As a manager, the last thing you want to see is these little boxes.

"The last general was fortunate not to be dishonored and arrived in Fusang country, and the lord of Fusang promised to pay tribute to my Tang Dynasty and send envoys to Tang." Li Han walked over and knelt on the beach and said.

Zhou Gongjin hurriedly helped Li Han up and said, "It's hard work, how about the death and injury of the brothers?" ”

"Dashuai, more than 1,000 brothers, only about 500 people survived in the end, more than half of the dead and wounded, and two of the seven warships were also overturned by the waves, the last general is incompetent, there is no way to take these soldiers home, please forgive the shuai." Li Han, an eight-foot man, knelt on the ground and cried.

Zhou Gongjin picked up Li Han from the ground and said, "Brother, it's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”

Then he turned to everyone and shouted: "Brothers, welcome home, go, let's go to the camp, Ben Shuai has prepared good wine and meat, everyone will not get drunk tonight." ”

"Thank you, Sir."

At this time, Xuanzang stood up and said: "Zhou Shuai, wait, these soldiers sacrificed for the country, Lao Gao admired, please let Lao Gao help all the dead soldiers to spend a little time, so that they can reach Bliss as soon as possible." ”

"Thank you, Master." This time, Zhou Gongjin sincerely thanked him.

Xuanzang was not too dirty, he sat directly on the beach and recited the scriptures, the sea water wet Xuanzang's clothes Xuanzang didn't care, the soldiers spontaneously put the urn in front of Xuanzang, and then picked up some dead branches next to it and lit a bonfire.

The sky was bright at this time, and the western sky was still burning with an orange-red sunset. The sea is also dyed red by the glow, but it is more spectacular than the view from the sky.

This rudimentary ritual lasted only half an hour before it ended.

After Xuanzang left, Li Han pulled Zhou Gongjin aside and said: "Dashuai, this time we really sent it, after we arrived in Fusang, we first saw the Rausch Edo daimyo, and then went to see their lord, the Fusang people called their lord the emperor, and the last general felt very unpleasant, Your Majesty is the emperor, known as the Son of Heaven, you are called the emperor, don't you take advantage of our Majesty, so they ordered their lord to change his name." ”

"Wait, they'll listen to you?" Zhou Gongjin interrupted Li Han's words and asked.

Li Han patted his chest and said proudly: "That's natural, Dashuai, you don't know, Fusang is poor, their army still uses bone weapons, as far as their broken weapons are concerned, where is our opponent of steel knives and gunpowder, this time the last general has brought more than a dozen Fusang envoys, you don't believe it and ask." ”

Zhou Gongjin nodded and said, "Okay, go on." ”

"After meeting the lord of Fuso, after their lord saw the power of our firearms, he agreed to the request of the last general, and called the minister, and also drew a place for our sailors on the seaside, who knew that there was a silver mine in the place where the birds did not, this time it was really rich, the last general took these three ships and all silver, and the remaining more than 100 brothers were waiting there with two warships."

"What? It turned out to be a silver mine? Zhou Gongjin asked in shock.

Li Han said obscenely: "Handsome, isn't it? In Datang, this silver is a good thing, but in Fusang, silver is everywhere, and many children use silver as a stepping stone for the toilet. ”

"Haha, yes, you have made a great contribution this time, Your Majesty is ready to reform the value of the currency, and the money will be divided into three kinds in the future, one is five baht copper coins, and the other two are silver coins and gold coins, one silver coin can be exchanged for a hundred copper coins, and one gold coin can be exchanged for ten silver coins, think about it, how many silver coins can you make into three boats of silver?" Zhou Gongjin said with a laugh.

Li Han was also shocked after hearing this, and his mouth couldn't close.

Zhou Gongjin kicked Li Han and said, "Okay, look at your unproductive appearance, go, accompany Ben Shuai to meet those Tang envoys." ”

"Okay, Marshal, please come with me."

At this time, Fuso didn't have any good attire, the men were basically like savages, but the women had a specific makeup, white faces, and a little lipstick on them, if you saw it at night, you would definitely be scared half to death.

Among them, only one woman did not apply powder, and I saw that this woman made a standard Tang etiquette to Zhou Gongjin and said: "Fusang Princess Gao Hui Yoko see Zhou Shuai." ”

Zhou Gongjin was taken aback, this dead woman's etiquette was even more standard than herself, and it was also the ancient etiquette of the Qin period, Zhou Gongjin replied: "Your Royal Highness the beautiful princess, please take the liberty to ask, I don't know where the princess learned the etiquette, such a standard, I am very curious." ”

"Our ancestors were Chinese." Originally, a man and a woman were talking, and the most suitable distance was three feet, and Gao Hui Yoko and Zhou Gongjin leaned together unconsciously.

Zhou Gongjin immediately wrote down this important information, as for who the ancestor was, Zhou Gongjin didn't ask, it was better to leave this matter to His Majesty to ask.

Gao Hui Yoko seemed to become more gentle, leaning down to salute Zhou Gongjin, the clothes she was wearing were already wide, and the sleeves were hung up with a silver hook, but in a flash, Zhou Gongjin seemed to see a snow-white hill from the sleeve, and the cherry red on it was vividly visible.

Zhou Gongjin pursed his lips and said secretly in his heart: "This is too unsophisticated." ”

After sending Gao Hui Yoko and the others to the post house, Zhou Gongjin pulled Li Han aside and asked quietly: "Stinky boy, you didn't touch these Fusang women on the boat, right?" ”

Li Han replied very speechlessly: "People are princesses, how can they take a fancy to us Qiu Ba, but her maids are not bad, I wanted to seduce and seduce them, but I didn't expect people to say that if they had children, they must go back to Fusang with them, so the general did not agree, who wants to let their children run to the place where Fusang's bird does not and suffer?" ”

Zhou Gongjin relieved his heart at this time......
