153. Letters of the homeland

There is a kind of sorrow, which is called detachment. It is like the moon falling in the water, when you look at it, it is always in your heart, but as soon as you stretch out your hand, it immediately disappears without a trace. It is like the wind of late autumn, saying that it is cool, but it still has a warm and delicate feeling; Saying that it is not cold, it makes people feel more and more palpitations and loneliness, indescribably desolate.

It's been two or three months since I left the Ming Dynasty, and I really don't know what the situation is like over there! The second uncle's lifespan was only one month when he left, and now when he heard Shimazu Yoshihisa, he passed away as expected......

Alas...... No matter how strong the man! Even if you are a genius who has passed through the heavens and latitudes, you can't escape the pursuit and reincarnation of time!

The last paragraph of Shimazu Yoshihisa was uttered in a clear Chinese - presumably because he noticed that he did not know much about the language of Dongying, and used a language that everyone was familiar with. This also shows his impeccable manners.

His Chinese, with a palpable northeastern accent, seems to have a deep intersection with the Central Plains. This is not surprising, Nankyushu was originally adjacent to the Ming Dynasty and was an outpost open to the outside world, as the daimyo of this place, in any respect, it must be the most knowledgeable about the Central Plains, not to mention Shimazu Yoshihisa, who was awarded the name of the wise man.

Hearing this, I glanced at each other with No Regrets, and for the first time, I said, "Mr. Yoshihisa, please tell me in detail."

Shimazu Yoshihisa smiled and nodded, raised the flask and touched it lightly with me and no regrets, raised his head and took a sip, smacked his lips, sighed and said, "Qilan!" Your deceased uncle is really an immortal material, with the ability to pass through the heavens and latitudes! ”

I also nodded and sighed, "It's a pity that the day of getting together is too short!" What a pity! It's a pity ......"

Shimazu Yoshihisa pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes showed the light of wisdom, and he said sincerely in a reverent tone: "The Central Plains has a saying, called the morning news, and you can die at night." Zhang Shoufu supports the talents of the universe, and shows his ambitions all his life, and he has no regrets! ”

I was silent and touched the flask with him again. Shimazu Yoshihisa continued: "Behind him, there are people who can continue to walk!" In the DPRK, the reformers led by Yu Shenxing, Wang Guoguang, Li Zaixing and others competed with Zhang Siwei's one-party conservatives, and the balance of power has become equal! Outside, you inherit the will and disrupt the enemy camp, which is enough to be blind! ”

I hummed, but asked rhetorically, "Brother Yoshihisa, do you know, who is the new Shousuke?"

Shimazu Yoshihisa smiled and said: "Since Zhang Shoufu's death, the Ming Dynasty court has been divided into two factions as mentioned above, and they have been fighting endlessly. Mingshenzong Zhu Yijun is not a person with ideas, seeing that the stalemate is not a stalemate, he simply does not set up the first assistant, but sets up the left and right two assistants - Yu Shenxing, and Zhang Siwei. ”

I exhaled slightly, such an ending should be the best imaginable! If you want to turn things around all at once and completely push it to Zhang Siwei's faction, that's just a dream. It is already very fortunate that the two sides can wrestle and not settle the liquidation one-sidedly!

So I smiled and said, "In this way, the hard work of the second uncle and ancestor will not be wasted and wasted!"

Shimazu smiled and said, "Your second uncle really gave the Ming Dynasty a new life!" As he spoke, he raised the flask and wished me afar: "May the old man rest in peace!"

We raised our glasses together and took a big sip in silence.

Shimazu Yoshihisa then said angrily: "The civil and official disputes in the Ming Dynasty have been going on for a long time, and they have been falling since Zhu Di. By the time he arrived at the previous dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was already in a state of incurrence! There are many people in Dongying who say that one day the world will be unified, and the Ming Dynasty will fall apart, which is the starting point for my four island warriors to set foot in Middle-earth! ”

I nodded, knowing he was right. The people in Dongying are poor, and the Central Plains is rich in resources. It's like two people, one is a high-ranking goddess with an extremely superior family background, and the other is an otaku dick with four walls. This dick has been able to look up to this goddess who can be licked for many years, but one day, the dick silk suddenly made a fortune, but the goddess fell in the middle of the road, and it was a big disaster......

Whoever you change, I'm afraid you will think about it!

Seeing that I was not surprised, Shimazu Yoshihisa raised his eyebrows and glanced at Shimazu Suihisa, obviously surprised that I understood and accepted this kind of thinking so easily.

Judging from my past history, I have a sacred belief in the territory of the Ming Dynasty and have always guarded it with all my might. And now I don't think it's strange to hear that outsiders are thinking of invasion, which is very amazing!

I was thinking about it, and when I saw their expressions with quite content, I understood in my heart, so I smiled and said: "The wise men of Dongying are studying the Ming Dynasty, why aren't the high-level leaders of the Ming Dynasty studying Dongying?" Youdao knows that it is his own enemy who knows himself best, so it's not surprising! ”

Shimazu Yoshihisa laughed and said, "Qilan is really a fast talker!" Then I will understand your heart! But then again, even if the world is really unified, I personally don't recommend attacking the Ming Dynasty"!

I smiled and asked, "Why is that?"

Shimazu Yoshihisa took a big sip of wine and said abruptly: "Because I have no faith!" As he spoke, he drew a large circle on the surface of the water with his hand and a small circle on the side with his fingers.

Looking at me, he continued: "That's how it is on both sides. Dongying and the Ming Dynasty are like a corner and the whole country. Defeating the whole country in a corner may be victorious in the short term, but it will be defeated in the long run! This is a fact that cannot be changed with courage and wisdom! ”

"What's more, the Ming Dynasty has a lot of land and resources, and the characters are superb! The older generation, there are Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, Tan Lun, Li Chengliang, but the younger generation takes Qilan you as the leader, plus Ye Sizhong and others as supplements. It's just that Qilan, you are leaving the Ming Dynasty now, but it can be called the pain of the Ming Dynasty and the blessing of the world! ”

I didn't know how to receive such a compliment, and I felt mixed feelings for a while. So he smiled wryly and didn't answer.

didn't regret it, but asked: "Then I don't know how the Ming Dynasty treated Qilan?" Or do you want to continue the pursuit? Still is...... Are there other arrangements? ”

Shimazu replied with a smile: "The Myojin Sect knows that Qilan must have been falsely accused, plus after Qilan left, Zhang Shoufu made a brief comeback!" Although the time is not long, it is like a thunderbolt landing and running through Changhong, destroying the opponent's external and internal forces! By the way, it is also a good name for Qilan! ”

Shimazu Yoshihisa also smiled: "So Qilan, nominally you are still a third-rank military general of the Ming Dynasty!" It's just that in reality, it's hard to go back to your homeland! ”

I don't know why, after hearing these words, I suddenly felt that my eyes were swollen, my nose was sour, and there seemed to be an emotion in my heart! That's a kind of recognition of self-dedication that has been hard to get! For a while, my heart seemed to have knocked down the five-flavor bottle, sweet and sour, bitter, spicy and salty, each with its own taste, it was really bittersweet and self-aware!

Shimazu Yoshihisa raised the wine bottle, came over to touch me, took a sip and said with a smile: "Qilan doesn't have to be sad, the current situation is strictly speaking, you can only be regarded as a traitor who resigned from office and started business, and you can't be regarded as a traitor who was expelled and fled, so you can be relieved!"

I nodded vigorously, collected my agitated feelings, picked up the bottle and touched it with Shimazu Yoshihisa, and then turned around and touched Shimazu Yoshihisa and did not regret it, and said, "Please!" As soon as he raised his head after speaking, he even took the bottom!

Yoshihisa Shimazu shouted, "Happy!" He turned around and shouted, "Bring me again!"

There was an answer outside the door curtain, and soon two girls in white bathrobes came in, they held wine trays, walked to the soup pool after entering the door, knelt down, and bowed deeply, the waves under the bathrobe, but I didn't have the heart to appreciate it.

The two girls gently put down the new wine in front of each of us, took away the empty bottles, and then withdrew.

Raising the new wine, we took a sip of each other, and I asked, "Brother Yoshihisa, thank you for bringing me this information!" I would like to ask a question. ”

Shimazu Yoshihisa put down the wine bottle and said with a smile: "Qilan wants to ask, what is my true intention?" Is that right? ”

I nodded, and Shimazu Yoshihisa said: "I entrusted Shi Yao to tell you before-our Shimazu family lives in Kyushu and takes Kyushu Island as our home!" Our ultimate goal is to unify the island of Kyushu! I don't have any interest in Honshu, Shikoku, or Middle-earth! ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the east and continued: "Our biggest hidden danger is not Middle-earth, not the Otomo family, and nothing else, it is our allies - the former Oda family, and the current Yushiba family!"

"Once Hideyoshi Hashiba is powerful and has completely inherited the mantle of the Oda family, I am afraid that with his eloquence, it will only take two or three years to sweep Honshu Islandβ€”Mori Motoyoshi, Uesugi Kenshin, Takeda Shingen, and Hojo Yasushi have all passed away, and who can compete with Hideyoshi's power on Honshu Island?" Shimazu Yoshihisa sighed.

"If Honshu is unified, Kyushu, Shikoku, and Hokkaido will remain, and that will be just a corner of the relationship with the whole country! The ending is certain"! His tone was full of affirmation and unwillingness!

Then Shimazu Yoshihisa pointed at me, and said excitedly: "And now, the opportunity to fight against Hideyoshi has appeared, and that is the appearance of Qilan!"

I smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Yoshijiu is too famous!"

Shimazu Yoshihisa said with burning eyes: "No! You know it yourself, and I'm not in a bad way! You've only been here for two months, but you've turned Gyeonggi upside down! Now, Uesugi Keikatsu has reached an alliance with Shibata Katsuie, and Shibata Katsuie has stabilized the rear and can concentrate on dealing with Hideyoshi! ”

"Moreover, the Singer also divided the camp of Yushiba Hideyoshi through many small actions! I don't believe it, these have nothing to do with Qilan! ”

I nodded and replied, "Singer is indeed doing a good job!"

Shimazu Yoshihisa said with a smile: "Shibata Katsuie is a military genius, but he is a political mediocrity. You and I both know what kind of material he is, if it weren't for Qilan and you would help him, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to resist next spring! ”

I nodded again and said, "Your prediction is very accurate, and it coincides with me!"

"Now, the great cause of our Shimazu family to unify Kyushu Island is underway! If Honshu Island were to be divided across Kyoto, it would be beneficial to our family! So, I hope you give it your all! Help Katsuya drag Hideyoshi! Shimazu Yoshihisa said sincerely.

I looked at him, sighed slightly, and said, "I will do my best for both public and private!" I hope that Brother Yijiu will support you! ”

Shimazu Yoshihisa said angrily: "Whatever I can support, I will definitely go all out!"

I smiled and asked, "Aren't you afraid of Hideyoshi's revenge?"

Shimazu Yoshihisa showed a sly smile and said, "What is there to be afraid of a tiger that is tied to its hind legs?"

The two of us looked at each other and laughed! So the four of us drank again!

After drinking, Shimazu Yoshihisa suddenly said, "Qilan, let me ask you something!"

I put down the bottle and said with a smile: "There are still things in the world that you don't know, Brother Yijiu?"

Shimazu Yoshihisa smiled and said, "Do you have a marriage contract with the daughter of Li Zaixing, the secretary of the military department?" Are you still counting today? ”

I laughed and said, "I'm even interested in family matters!" Brother Yoshihisa, you're such a gossip man! ”

Shimazu Yoshihisa didn't understand what a gossip man was, so he restrained his smile and asked again: "You answer my question!"

I saw that his expression was getting more serious, and I vaguely felt that something was wrong in my heart, so I also replied, "Exactly!" My fiancΓ©e's name is Li Huamei, and she is Li Zaixing's only daughter. ”

Shimazu Yoshihisa sighed: "Then I'm not wrong!" Qilan, your fiancΓ©e's family, I'm afraid it's been difficult recently! ”

I was suddenly shocked, stood up and asked, "What's the matter?" What's so hard about them? Brother Yoshihisa, say it quickly! ”

Shimazu Yoshihisa saw that I was so excited, and asked me to sit down again and again, before he said slowly.

I'm anxious, Huamei's family, what's going on?
