That being said, the people were already hungry! Most of them had little strength, so Ma Wei persuaded him, "Brother Wu, I don't think the people will listen to you, and now only by killing the horses we rode before and giving them to eat can we solve the problem of hunger for a while, and when the time comes, we can stabilize the mood of the people by farming?" After hearing this, Wu Junzhen thought for a while and decided to kill the horse, after all, there are horses in Prince Lu's mansion, so it's a big deal to ask His Royal Highness Prince Lu for it.

After the decision was made, Wu Junzhen asked the guards to pull the horses out of the stables and kill them, and piled up a lot of firewood on the hillside outside the city that was about to be cleared, and set up an iron pot to put the horse meat in it to cook when the fire was lit, and the people were not idle and were busy looking for firewood and chopsticks, Liu Ruilin was responsible for supervising the pot and stove and not allowing anyone to steal it first, just when everyone was busy, Yao Qiuyue looked at Wu Junzhen and thought; I didn't expect Wu Gongzi to be able to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and have a benevolent heart to the people, if this person is the emperor, then the people of the world will be blessed, thinking of this, she also thinks that Wu Junzhen is also very polite to women, just like a humble son.

After a cup of tea, the horse meat in the pot was cooked, and the fragrance spread all around, smelling the saliva of the people, Ma Wei saw this, and Liu Ruilin picked up a spoon and gave them two taels of meat each.

When the meat was divided into tattered bowls, the people devoured it, and some people asked for more to eat after eating, so Liu Ruilin gave him another spoonful of meat...

After everyone had eaten and drunk enough, Wu Junzhen, who was sitting on the ground, immediately stood up and ordered, "Brother Ma, go and see what shape our field is?" By the way, see how big it is? His Royal Highness Prince Lu said that there are 3 acres of land? But I don't look like it? After hearing this, Ma Wei hurriedly took the order to go down, but Liu Ruilin's light skills were relatively fast, so he went with him.

At this moment, Ma Wei and Liu Ruilin quickly visited the nearby hillside and found that this was actually a triangular place? Most of the stones are raised and half of them are raised, which leads to the fact that the hillside must be bulldozed to reach 3 acres of land, Liu Ruilin looked at this situation and felt that the vassal king was too pitiful, and he actually gave such a piece of broken land to send it to Huazi, but there was no way to go back to his life.

Wu Junzhen here sat on the stone and sweated profusely, the direct sunlight on his face was particularly dazzling, Yao Qiuyue saw that he was sweating profusely, so he took a silk handkerchief and walked up to help him wipe his sweat, Wu Junzhen saw that it was Yao Qiuyue who came over, bent over to help him wipe his sweat, and she also exuded a burst of fragrance that was very strong and came to her nose, which seemed that Wu Junzhen was a little excited in her heart! He hurriedly took Yao Qiuyue's hand away and said, "Miss Yao's kindness is understood, but men and women don't kiss!" ”

When she heard this, she smiled and said, "You're putting on a shelf again, aren't you!" We're friends, what's wrong with wiping sweat? Just as the two were talking, Ma Wei hurriedly ran over and was just about to speak, when he saw Yao Qiuyue reaching out and holding a silk handkerchief on Wu Junzhen's head, and he looked a little angry! He coughed twice and said, "Excuse me!" Brother Wu has just checked, except for one place on the hillside that is protruding, most of the rest of the places are stony, and if you want to open up the wasteland, you must dig up the stones, which is a bit difficult! ”

Despite this, Wu Junzhen still had the mentality of giving it a try, and led the people to start preparing for weeding, he first arranged for thirty people to be responsible for weeding in front, and the rest of the people were taken by Ma Wei to get hoes to prepare for digging stones, and a group of people under the leadership of Liu Ruilin took shovels to shovel down from the raised mounds, and everyone started to do their own work, but Ma Wei saw that everyone had no intention of doing it!

He thought of using singing to boost morale, but he didn't know any Ming Dynasty songs! He suddenly thought of a song (Xiaoxiao Rain Has Not Stopped) that was particularly suitable for boosting morale and invigorating people, so he said loudly: "Brothers, why don't you sing a military song to refresh yourself?" Wu Junzhen agreed, so he asked, "Brother Ma, do you have any wonderful songs to sing?" ”

I saw Ma Wei say, "Everyone sing with me; There is a wild wind blowing in the north,

There are a thousand waves waiting for you to cross in the south

Eight thousand miles of dust and soil, proud to go

Between life and death, smile and be proud~

The wind and rain in all directions and the moon have not stopped protecting the land,

Pick up a piece of Dan's heart to the sky, angry hair rushed to the crown by the railing, Xiaoxiao Yuxiu raised his eyes, looked up to the sky and roared strongly, and the courtiers hated the rivers and mountains!

Cleaning up the old mountains and rivers towards the sky, the young man was empty and sad ....... ”

After everyone sang the military song, they felt that their morale was much higher, and they worked hard, which made Wu Junzhen very happy, but the people next to him thought; What song is this? Why have we never heard this song in the Ming Dynasty? Could it be that we are short-sighted? Even Liu Ruilin, Yao Qiuyue, and Wu Junzhen feel strange? asked in a low voice, "Brother Ma dares to ask, where did you learn to sing that song just now?" ”

Ma Wei wiped his sweat and whispered to Wu Junzhen, "This is the song of our patriotic generals on Jingnan Road in the early Song Empire, but Brother Wu is one of the few generals who love the country and the people in the Ming Dynasty!" ”

And Wu Junzhen shook his hand and said, "Ashamed, ashamed!" I'm also loyal to the country! Soon everyone cleaned up all the weeds on the hillside, and the people led by Liu Ruilin also shoveled up many stones, and then Yao Qiuyue borrowed rice seeds from local residents' homes, and everyone picked up these things and sprinkled them in the field, and after sowing them, they carried buckets to water them, looking at the seeds they had worked hard to cultivate, Wu Junzhen wiped his sweat and said, "I didn't expect this tuntian to be so hard!" It also made him realize the truth that food is not easy to come by.

On February 19th, in the main hall of Edo Castle in the Tokyo area of the main island of the Tokugawa shogunate, Tokugawa Iemitsu, who was kneeling in the dormitory and wearing a black pattern tofu feather uniform, Tokugawa Iemitsu, was picking up his Maro saber and slowly pulling out the hilt, watching the shining light shine on the Maro saber, which made the Tokugawa shogunate shogun very proud to pick up a strip of cloth to wipe the saber, and suddenly a soldier opened the (sliding door) and walked in and reported, "Yamato: Kaiyu Seiyi Shogun, the little one received a letter from the lord of Hizen Province and the lord of the Hizen Province. ”

The shogunate shogunate shogun Seiyi with a sinister smile glanced at the soldier with his eyes, and slowly picked up the letter and opened it to look at it, and found that it was written (Ming Fujian General Soldier: Zheng Zhilong, want to come to Tokugawa Shogunate Tokyo to interview the shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu, talk about the Satsuma Domain's occupation of the Ryukyu Kingdom?) When the shogunate learned that this matter was not trivial, he wanted to refuse, but thinking about the Ming Empire, although it was now suffering from internal and external troubles, the Fujian Navy still had a strong combat effectiveness that should not be underestimated, so he planned to meet the envoys and listen to their tones, and ordered to greet the envoys with the highest etiquette.

First of all, the Tokugawa Shogunate Jibu Daisuke: Mitsuhara Taro, led the personnel of the Tokugawa Shogunate Jibu Province to line up in two groups at the gate of Edo Castle, and then (Yarakuryo) was responsible for leading the staff to lay the carpet, the shogunate governor Yarakuto: Karakusawa 13, the shogunate vice-minister Masakasuke: Matsushima Natsuo, and the two arrangers prepared to play the shogunate music to welcome the envoy.

The Ming and Fujian generals here also landed at the dock near the waters of Tokyo, and the Ming soldiers of the Fujian Navy set up the deck to get off the ship first, and the Ryukyu envoys and the Ming Fujian generals on the ship also got off the ship and walked to the shore, and the people on the shore saw the arrival of people wearing Central Plains costumes, so they all gathered around and pointed and said, "Yamato: They are the Central Plains people from the Tang Empire, right?" ”

Some of the women said, "Yamato: Tsuki (the self-name of the shogunate women) said that they should be the Ming people, right?" Now there is no Tang Empire left? ”

Walking on the street, the Ming Fujian generals and the Ryukyu envoys listened to these shogunate people talking (Yamato) and pointing at themselves, and he was very unhappy and asked, "What are they talking about?" ”

The Ming Fujian general next to him told him that the people were very curious about us, thinking that we were from the Central Plains from the Tang Empire? Hearing this explanation, the general soldier of Ming Fujian laughed and said, "Hehehe! Unexpectedly, the people of the shogunate still have a lot of thoughts about the Tang Empire? As soon as the words fell, I saw a group of Tokugawa shogunate guards carrying iron cannons and Nanban arquebuses walking on the street in the distance, and I could see that the Fujian general soldiers were a little panicked! He ordered, "Everyone is ready to fight the Wakos? ”

But the situation doesn't seem to be what they imagined? The oncoming Japanese did not start a battle against the Ming army of the Fujian Navy, but got out of the way and stood aside, only to see a shogunate official wearing a (sewn armpit robe) and a black gauze hat striding up? Coming over, he said in a very unfluent Jianghuai official dialect: "May I ask you, is your Excellency a messenger from the Ming Dynasty?" The Ming Fujian general greeted him and replied, "That's right, we are the officials from the Ming Dynasty, this is the Fujian General Army, may I ask who you are?" ”

The shogunate official replied, "I am Daisuke Jibu of the Tokugawa shogunate, konn ni qi wa (Yamato: Hello! ）。 When the Ming Fujian Tongshi heard that the other party didn't seem to understand the Jianghuai official dialect of the Ming Dynasty, he communicated with him in Yamato, "Yamato: Please take us to see General Zhengyi, right?" ”

Seeing that some of the envoys understood the Yamato language, Daisuke of the shogunate was happy to lead them into Edo Castle in front, and the prefect of the shogunate, Masakakuto, and the vice-minister of the shogunate, who had been waiting here for a long time, ordered the entourage to start playing music and playing the "Hundred Flowers Spectrum" to welcome the envoys, and then everyone bowed to the Ming Fujian generals and the accompanying Fujian sailors and Ming soldiers who came over, and saluted, "I rac syai i ma se ba ku fu (Yamato: Welcome to the Tokugawa shogunate!)" ）。 ”

In this way, the general soldiers of the Ming Fujian were ceremoniously welcomed into the Nimaru Hall by the officials of the Tokugawa shogunate, and ordered the palace ladies to pour tea for the Ming envoy to drink, and then the shogunate Daisuke went to inform the shogunate of the arrival of the general's distinguished guests.

The Ryukyu envoy, who was drinking tea, said to the Ming Fujian Commander-in-Chief, "Lord Commander-in-Chief, do you think the shogunate will cheat?" What if they protect the Satsuma Domain? Considering this, the general soldier of Ming Fujian whispered to the bottom, and he said, "Don't worry! Ben will have an undercover agent in the Tokugawa shogunate, and I will know if there is any trouble. The Ryukyu envoy breathed a sigh of relief and drank his tea.

The shogunate shogun, who didn't dare to slack off here, walked quickly to the main hall in [clogs], and asked the guards to open the door and said, "Yamato: I'm sorry to keep you waiting!" ”

The general army of Fujian in the Ming Dynasty and the Ryukyu envoys got up and saluted, "The general of Zhengyi is polite, and today the general came here for nothing else, but at the behest of His Majesty the Emperor, I came to negotiate for the Satsuma Domain to occupy the territory of my Ming vassal state,"

As soon as he heard that the other party was saying this, the shogunate shogun rejoiced and said, "Yamato: I have also heard a little about this, so let's do it!" Commander-in-Chief, you finally came to Edo Castle once, and let's eat and talk, right? Come and set up a banquet to entertain the guests. ”

Or by the shogunate Yaleliao officials arranged for the maid dancers to dance at the banquet, only to see rows of shogunate dancers wearing small sleeves Wu clothes with silver (flower butterfly hairpins) on their heads coming up with fans to dance, seeing that the Fujian general soldiers were relishing, he clapped his hands and said, "It's still peaceful in your shogunate!" Look at these little beauties all by one! ”
