On the morning of the second day after the dinner, Su Xing, who rushed back to Hangzhou overnight, was sitting in the teahouse resting.

Last night's banquet was so informative that it exceeded the most daring guess of Awakening.

Before, he thought that the Song people were nothing more than to save their people who were trapped in Nagasaki, and at most to re-sign a treaty with the Tokugawa shogunate and sell the Saga domain in exchange for peace. Unexpectedly, the Governor General came to the stage last night and made an impassioned speech, revealing that he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to expand the incident, beat the shogunate with all his might, and turn Japan into a dumping base for Australian and Song goods.

"It's crazy, it's crazy..."Even after more than ten hours, I still felt a burst of horror when I woke up after a night of sleep.

The will of the Song governor made him feel incredible, and he even began to suspect that the man who controlled the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea was a madman. How could a normal person want to use an expeditionary force of 4,000 people to defeat the shogunate with tens of thousands of troops and fighting on the mainland!

Although the Wako had been defeated by General Qi and completely extinct after the Song people took control of Taiwan, he still heard from the old man in his family that the Wa warriors were terrible. What is one as ten, invulnerable, what kills people when they see them, brutal and cruel... How could such a wolf-like Japanese be defeated by thousands of Song people who had traveled long distances!

"Patriarch, are we going to send merchant ships again?" The junior who was brought out to see the world by himself asked a little anxiously.

"! And pie! Wake up and put the teacup in his hand on the table with a "snap", and preached to the juniors with some hatred, "You have heard too much nonsense from the Song people, thousands of people were sent to Japan to work on an expedition, so they must have been killed by the Japanese people!" Didn't you see that the Nagasaki of the Song people was surrounded by water? Maybe Nagasaki is already cannibalistic now! ”

was angrily reprimanded by the patriarch, and the junior who spoke took a step back with some cringe, but still persuaded: "Patriarch, the Song people came to us, occupied Taiwan, and went to Liaodong, and they haven't suffered a defeat for several years..."

Su Xing sighed and said, "You don't know this, do you?" Su He, you have also handled a lot of business, so you must know risk control. The Song people want us to send so many ships this time, if they win, it's fine, but what if they lose? They lost the battle, and it was better to say that they had no money to pay the bills, as long as the ship didn't have an accident. But what if something happens to the ship? There are so many shareholders behind our shipyard, and the money of the people above, if the ship is gone, it is useless for you to ask me to take my life to compensate! ”

Su He was silent for a while, then nodded convincingly: "It's still the patriarch who is far-sighted, and He is reckless." ”

Su Xing nodded, and was about to say more, but it was noisy under the teahouse.

A few tea guests walked to the railing and looked down, stroked their palms and smiled: "It's the newspaper reading team of the Song people, why did you come so early today." ”

As soon as he woke up, he stopped teaching his juniors, got up and walked to the window to watch.

I saw that in the busy street market of Hangzhou, several people were already standing on a wooden podium built at the intersection of roads, taking a newspaper out of their backpacks and fixing it on the shelf in front of them.

The other man took a tin roll and placed it on a wooden shelf and pushed it in front of the man. The man coughed, arched his hand to the citizens who were familiar with the road, and said loudly: "Dear citizens, this is the No. 1 newspaper reading team in Hangzhou, and today I will bring you an issue of the printed report, the declaration of war speech from the Governor of Australia, China!" ”

At this time, thousands of people had gathered in the audience, and the crowd blocked several roads. The surrounding vendors put down their stalls, put a bamboo basket on their heads, and worked hard to weave through the crowd, leaning their heads and shouting: "Buy some fruit, the Taiwanese tomatoes that I just arrived here today are so sour and sweet!" ”

The audience scolded the hawkers in an unhappy whisper, and stood on tiptoe to look at the podium, for fear of missing such a powerful news as the "declaration of war".

"From March 27 to April 1 in the Song calendar, my border guards guarding the Free City of Nagasaki, the territory of Japan, were continuously attacked by the shogunate army! Up to now, our army has captured the first line of defense, hundreds of vassal friendly soldiers have been killed, and more than a dozen Australian and Song Dynasty people have paid with their lives! ”

"For this crazy provocative crime of the shogunate army, the people of the whole Australian Song cannot but express great indignation! The people of Australia and Song are not to be insulted! The Australian Song National Defense Force is not to be humiliated! ”

“... This unprecedentedly serious incident in the Japanese-administered territories was the result of the Tokugawa shogunate's aggressive plan to deliberately occupy our territory; It was the inevitable result of the Tokugawa shogunate's attitude of restraint and tolerance in Japan as weakness and bullying, and it became more and more rampant, and increased tensions throughout the area under its administration... The Tokugawa shogunate and its coalition forces must take full responsibility for this and bear all the consequences caused by their madness and stupidity. ”

“... The people of Australia and Song Dynasty must not tolerate their land being arbitrarily occupied by the shogunate, and they must not sit idly by and watch their soldiers and friendly troops being killed! It's tolerable, it's unbearable! ...”

“... The situation is sinister and the consequences are serious. We have to tell the shogunate authorities that we don't say anything unprepared! ”

Su Xing quietly listened to the speech of the newspaper reader under the teahouse. He had heard it in the Doge's Palace last night.

The player below did not recreate the Governor's momentum very well. In the mouth of the Governor, the speech exuded a domineering spirit that destroyed everything and was unscrupulous. And in the mouth of this young man, there is only no confidence in the fierceness left.

But for the citizens of Hangzhou, who have almost never heard a speech, this unsuccessful public speech had a huge impact.

Almost all of the audience was enthusiastic with the warning "Don't be unpredictable", and the young people cheered after the newspaper readers bowed and saluted, shouting the slogan "Kill those would-be pirates"; Even the more calm middle-aged and elderly people clenched their hands and blushed in the memories of the Japanese people ravaging Jiangnan.

Seeing the excitement of the crowd off the field, the newspaper reading team members raised their hands and shouted: "The expeditionary force wins!" ”

"The expeditionary force wins!" The young people immediately responded to the call and also raised their hands and shouted.

"The Chinese people are victorious!"

"The Chinese people are victorious!" More middle-aged people began to chant slogans, and the excitement began to spread through the crowd.

"The blood debt of the Japanese is paid for by blood!"

"Blood debt and blood payment!" All the citizens roared. At this moment, the plainclothes arresters of the Hangzhou Mansion who were hiding in the street corners and crowds and monitoring the Song people's newspaper reading team all felt bad. This time, instead of reading some international events as usual, the newspaper reading team openly publicized these incendiary slogans, which made the head catcher who led the team feel a little frightened.

"Hurry up and inform your lordship, the situation is not right!" The head catcher said hurriedly to his subordinates. He looked at the emotional crowd, and his heart became more and more nervous, just begging not to make trouble.

Just when the newspaper readers were inciting the emotions of the masses and distributing leaflets on a large scale, they woke up and a pair of deep eyes were faintly looking down on the excited crowd.

"Gone." The middle-aged man in a plain robe said to the young man beside him.

This middle-aged man with a calm face was dressed plainly and neatly, wearing an ordinary jade pendant around his waist and a pair of cloth shoes on his feet, looking like the owner of a certain bookstore. But his temperament is so unique that he can't forget the awakening that glanced at him sideways.

The young man next to the middle-aged man said "hey", his eyes were still reluctant to look at his peers on the podium, revealing a strong yearning.

"Taichong, it's time to go."

The middle-aged man patted the young man's shoulder helplessly, and then woke up his disciple from his obsession: "I still have to visit Mr. Chen at noon, we haven't bought a gift yet." ”

The young man glanced at the podium with some nostalgia, then turned around and followed the teacher downstairs. Along the way, he couldn't help but say to the middle-aged man: "Sir, are the Australians really going on an expedition to Japan?" ”

"Those who are good at fighting do not show their military intelligence first." The middle-aged man replied as he went downstairs, "The Song people have always strictly guarded the military situation. This time they made public statements, presumably their fleet was already at sea. ”

The young man nodded, and did not hide the regret in his heart: "If Yang Hao can keep a secret like this, Jiannu will definitely be nipped in the bud." ”

The middle-aged man laughed, not pointing out what the young man took for granted.

Walking down the street, the middle-aged man carefully avoided the hurried servants, bought a few boxes of snacks in a gift shop, and handed them to the young man behind him to carry.

"Sir," the young man pursed his lips, and finally gritted his teeth.

"Huh?" The middle-aged man replied without looking back.

"I want to go to Taiwan, to the Song people."

The middle-aged man walked forward quietly, and the young man who was uneasy in his heart followed the teacher without saying a word, and gradually became flustered.

"Sir, I mean..."

"It's good to go and see outside."

The young man looked up at the gentleman's back.

The middle-aged man still walked forward without pause, avoiding oncoming passers-by from time to time.

"The Song people are powerful, and over the years, they have gone deeper and deeper into my Ming Dynasty, and there is a faint desire to make a comeback and restore the Great Song Dynasty."

The young man looked at him with some shock, and for a moment did not know how to answer this great remark. Even in Hangzhou, where the Song people were openly active, it was dangerous to say such sensitive words.

"The world is so big, you young people, you should also go out for a walk."

The middle-aged man put his hands in his hands and calmly said to the disciple behind him: "Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles." Taichong, you've read a lot of books, it's time to get out and travel. ”

"Yes.. Yes, sir. The young man said a little overwhelmed.

"I'm glad you said what was in your heart." The middle-aged man stopped, turned to his disciple and said, "Let's go to Taiwan to see how the country of the Song people is different from us, or go further, go to the South China Sea, go to Luzon, you can do it." ”

"You have seen a lot of the mountains and rivers of the land of China from the book. The infinite world is still better to walk in person. ”

"It's just, you have to be safe. Mancho has entrusted you to me, and I am responsible for your father and you. ”

"Yes, sir, disciple remember."

19-year-old Huang Zongxi bowed deeply to his husband, Mr. Liu Zongzhou, and bowed deeply and made a disciple salute.
