Among the generals of the Ming Dynasty, there are only two people I admire the most.

One person is Qi Jiguang and Qi Dudu, and the marquis is not my will, but I hope that Hai Boping will be peaceful. Spend a lifetime of hard work in exchange for half of the peace.

The other person is Zheng Chenggong, who broke the red hair and recovered Taiwan*Bay, fought against the Manchu Qing to maintain Han unity, and was the last general loyal to Han Zuo after the Manchu seized power.

So when I looked at Zheng Shibiao in front of me again, there was a little more difference in my eyes.

Jin Laohan saw my strange appearance, thought for a moment and asked me: "Official, your expression seems to be the same as that of the scholar, I don't know if it is or not?" ”

I shook my head slightly, thought for a while and said: "I worshipped the master as a teacher in my early years, and the master once said: If you see the son of the Zheng family in southern Fujian, you can accept him as an apprentice and teach him with his skills, and the heir of the Zheng family should be the humerus of the Han family." But I don't know if what the master said about the Zheng family is referring to Zheng Shibiao! ”

Obviously, I was telling a lie, because I couldn't tell them history and reason. But it can only be used in this almost mythological way to talk about the original serious issues, which is also a way to do it, it can only be like this.

When Jin Laohan heard my words, he immediately laughed a few times, and his tone was quite desolate: "Shibiao has been honed at sea at a young age, although he has been unswerving in his mind after great difficulties, his father is filial piety, and he is quick to think and can draw inferences, he must be the person said by the official master!" Taxi watch! ”

Jin Laohan grabbed Zheng Shibiao and said to him anxiously: "Child, why don't you hurry up and worship the teacher?" ”

Zheng Shibiao is a clever child, and when he heard this, he immediately wanted to bow down, but I grabbed him and said with a serious expression: "If you want to worship me as a teacher, you should promise me three things, and I can accept you as an apprentice." ”

After all, Zheng Shibiao is a child's heart, so he immediately jumped to his feet and responded: "Don't say three, even thirty I should too!" ”

Jin Laohan was quite accidental, and he was afraid that I would deceive the child, so he asked for the child: "I don't know what three things the official and the important man promised?" If it is against the harmony of heaven, it is unacceptable! ”

I ignored him, still looked at Zheng Shibiao and said: "First, I will allow you to go to sea for business, even if you marry with a different race, but you must never forget the Han Dynasty and Han Zuo for the rest of your life, can you do it?" ”

Zheng Shibiao replied solemnly: "Official, my father has said many times that my family moved to Nan'an, Fujian Province from the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and they are the most orthodox Han people, and their children and grandchildren are Han people from generation to generation. ”

I was expressionless, and then asked the second question: "If one day, the Han people are not in danger and the Tartars invade the Central Plains, what are you going to do?" ”

Zheng Shibiao frowned and said: "Official, the Ming Dynasty is as majestic as a mountain, how did it fall?" Are the officials overly worried? ”

Seeing that I was silent, just staring at him, he was also a little weak-hearted. Remembering that my father had said when he was alive that the Jurchen Tartars outside the Guanxi were getting bigger and bigger, but the foundation of the Han family was shaking, I couldn't help but listen to my words, and after thinking about it, I said: "Official, my family lives on the sea and is not familiar with land warfare. If one day the real Han Zuo is not guaranteed, I will fight against the Tartars on this sea, and I will die and rest! ”

With a straight face, I asked the third question: "In that case, will you pass this on as a family motto from generation to generation?" "By saying this, I have prepared for his children.

Zheng Shibiao said excitedly: "Official, just listen to you, I know that you are a good official!" I agreed to the requirements you said, even without your request, I am also ready to join the rebel army and fight against the Japanese with Grandpa Jin and them! ”

I smiled at this point and said softly, "Good boy, then you don't hurry up and make an apprenticeship!" ”

As soon as Zheng Shibiao heard this, he immediately understood that I agreed to take him as an apprentice, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to me nine times!

After accepting Zheng Shibiao as an apprentice, I couldn't help but feel in a good mood, and looked up to the sky and smiled for a long time.

God is pitiful, my Sun Qilan rushed back from the West, the purpose is just to save the Ming Dynasty from danger. But I never thought that in this deserted village in Goryeo, I actually met Zheng Chenggong's grandfather!

I want to train him, educate him, train him to be a first-class strongman at sea, teach him first-class shipbuilding skills, and give him a first-class growth environment!

When he grows up, he will pass on what I taught him to his son Zheng Zhilong, and when Zheng Zhilong is old, he will pass it on to the future national surname Zheng Chenggong!

At that time, even if I am no longer in Daming, I will at least leave behind the inheritor of my wisdom and strength!

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel very good, to be honest, I am actually resistant to staying in Daming, because I don't like this kind of deep intrigue, day by day.

Compared with the mutual conflict between people, I would rather go to the sea, fight with the sky and the earth, that is the life I want.

But if I'm gone, will history repeat itself? Will the Ming Dynasty be replaced by the Manchu Tatars? Is China going through a dark future for a hundred years?

Now that I have Zheng Shibiao, I can at least pass on my will, and no matter what, at least I won't leave any regrets.

At the end of our apprenticeship, the village had already selected the children who were going to leave, and Jin Laohan told me that a total of twenty-seven children would leave the village and flee to safety.

I thought about it for a moment and called Guomo: "You take five people and escort these children to the boat first." Take the trail and don't get discovered! ”

Mo frowned and asked me, "Sir, aren't you leaving?" But what are you going to do? ”

I sighed and said to Mo and the Nine Ghosts: "Although Jin Anshun was determined to die at the beginning, after all, if she didn't assassinate Shibata Shengzhong, there would be no next disaster in Jinjia Village. I want to stay in the village with people for the time being, at least after a day, if the Shibata army does not come, it means that the assassination has not been successful, but I am ready to lead the team again! ”

Mo shook his head and said, "Sir, this is the first time I have refused your order, please forgive me for not being able to leave you at this time!" For this task, you might as well arrange for someone else to do it! At that time, the probability of Shibata Katsutada's survival was very small, and Shibata's army was afraid that it would arrive soon! Relying only on the rebels of those Koreans, you also know what kind of color it is, sir, and you want me to ......"

He suddenly approached my direction and whispered, "Sir, it is your duty to take the risk of explaining the situation to the village and leaving with the children. As for whether the Shibata Army will take revenge on this village, sir, how can there be immortals in war? We have seen so much life and death, why do you have a soft spot for this village, sir? ”

Seeing that I didn't speak, he added again: "I'll take another 10,000 steps back and say, sir, the Goryeo people are not of the same clan as you, we have traveled across the ocean to help in the war, and we have already been a great favor to Goryeo, so why should we put our own safety on the line for the sake of a village?" ”

Mo's words are reasonable, but I don't know why, whenever I think of Jin Anshun's gaze when I look back, I feel that I shouldn't just do things according to the people in this village.

Kim Ansoon is a victim of this era, for the sake of the concept of chastity that he has inherited from generation to generation. How about the people of Jinjia Village? For the sake of their own persistence, they would rather endure pain, they are unable to leave their homeland, and would rather choose to fight to the death, can I really only look at them with reason, right and wrong, and can only treat them as rigid and cold data?

I can't!

After thinking about it again and again, I finally spoke: "Mo, I understand what you said, and I agree with it, but the reason why people are human beings is that they do something and don't do something. I want to stay, but I am infected by the integrity of the people of Jinjia Village, I just want to help them! As for safety - in the world, where is it absolutely safe, right? I also want to ask, what do you think? Political filial piety. ”

I turned my head to look at the Nine Ghosts Zhengxiao again, this young man was looking at me with burning eyes, and after listening to me, he bowed deeply to me: "Sir, I wanted to come alone before, but in fact, I just felt that Jin Anshun died for righteousness, and we should not turn a blind eye to his family." That's what I always wanted to do was to help them fight against the Shibata Army. Therefore, I strongly agree with what Mr. said! After walking on the sea for so many years, I have seen a lot of ice and cold desert, but today I also want to be a warm-hearted person! ”

Speaking of which, I glanced at each other with the Nine Ghosts and laughed at the same time.

He is my first subordinate in this world, and he is also my best friend, and he is the person who understands me best.

Since we brothers are united, this is not impossible.

Mo listened to our words, and could only nod vigorously: "In that case, I will immediately send these children back." As soon as they arrived, I rushed back! ”

I patted Mo on the shoulder and said, "Don't rush back, I need you to do something for me." ”

Ink listened to me, and I whispered.

After hearing this, Mo bowed his hand to me, and immediately took five ninjas, one of whom was carrying three or four children on his horse, and went to the beach in a cry.

I wanted Zheng Shibiao to leave, but he insisted on staying: "Where the master is, I will be there, and we will never be separated!" ”

It's a righteous child.

I thought to myself. Then he turned back and asked Old Man Jin where the rebel army was now.

Old man Jin pointed ahead and said, "There is a mountain fifteen miles ahead, called Xiaoqingshan. Our rebels were all stationed there, and they sent a message that we would take refuge in the mountains and use the mountain peaks as a base to resist the attack of the Japanese invaders! ”

As he spoke, he continued: "Official, I have heard what you just said, why don't we go to Xiaoqingshan together, there is danger to defend, it is better than the endless plain here!" ”

I listened to what Old Man Jin said, nodded immediately, and summoned the Nine Ghosts Zhengxiao to lead everyone to follow Old Man Jin to Xiaojin Mountain to fight against the upcoming army of Japanese Invaders.

On the way, I rode side by side with the Nine Ghosts Masataka, and he asked me, "Sir, am I too impulsive?" You and I will also be in danger! ”

I said softly: "A gentleman has something to do and something not to do, I respect you for being a man, and...... I still have my own ideas! ”

The Nine Ghosts were puzzled: "What do you think?" ”

I chuckled and said, "If the son of the Shibata Katsuya was really stabbed to death, he would definitely wonder who did it." We only need to disguise as a ninja of the Yuchai Army, and then obviously make friends with the Goryeo Rebels, wouldn't it be more solid to sit on the hat of the Yuchai Army's rebellion? ”

Nine Ghost Zhengxiao rolled his eyes: "That's right! We have worked hard to get a clue to this matter! Take advantage of this time to add a fire...... Mr. Takami! Filial piety! ”

I smiled and continued: "I asked Mo to contact Shimazu Yoshihisa, as long as he casually fired a few shots and attacked a few times in the west of the Shibata Army, the name of uniting the Goryeo Army and the Ming Army to attack the Shibata Army would not be clean, do you think it is or not?" ”

The Nine Ghosts Masataka gave me a deep swipe on the horse, and we looked at each other again and smiled, speeding up our horses and rushing towards Xiaoqingshan.
