Once the strategic intent was determined, all quarters began preparations for war. Zeng Guangxian led the remaining two warships to carry a special task force of a marine platoon led by Lin Zhaolong, all composed of traversers, to a secluded island outside Yulin Bay, where they conducted simulated training day and night in the name of intensive training.www.biquge.info The Military Commission gave the surprise attack a code name--- Operation Pearl Harbor.

Lu Tianxiang's home is full of people again. He Yun set up a family banquet to entertain Lin Chao and Zhao Zhiruo, two new teachers. After Zhao Zhiruo came to Yulin Bay, she felt fresh everywhere, Cheng Yiyi and Xu Ru accompanied her around every day, and soon the three girls became good friends who talked about everything. Xu Ru even secretly said to Liu Guannan once that Xu Lang's family will definitely be able to get along in harmony in the future, and just looking at the relationship between Cheng Yiyi and Zhao Zhiruo, there will be no such things as jealousy.

Sun Jiayi pestered Xu Lang vigorously: "Uncle Xu, is my brother fat or thin now, when will he come back?" ”

Xu Lang patted Sun Jiayi's hand: "Do you miss your brother?" Don't worry, your brother is doing well. In a few months, at the end of the year, your brother and Zhang Hai will all come back, and they miss you very much. ”

"That's right, Jiayi." Xu Lang remembered something again, "I heard that Ye Yan has come to propose marriage to you in the past few days, isn't it, is there such a thing?" ”

Sun Jiayi blushed and walked into the back room without saying a word.

"A few days ago, Ye Sunquan looked for someone to mention it, but he asked me to push it." He Yun took over, "How old is Jiayi, how can such a young child be engaged now, even if she wants to, I can't bear it." ”

"Aunt He, are you interfering with the freedom of marriage?" Xu Lang laughed and joked.

"Xiao Xu, you also made a joke about your Aunt He." He Yun also smiled, "I agreed with Ye Yan and his mother, we will not interfere in the child's affairs, but Jiayi is indeed too young, wait a few more years, at least wait until she finishes school and graduates, and then let her make her own decisions." ”

"But, Xiao Xu." He Yun smiled at Xu Lang, and Xu Lang was a little at a loss when he smiled, "Jiayi is not very old, but you yourself are not young, what about your own affairs, you still want to drag it all the time, there are already dozens of marriages in our Yulin Bay." ”

After He Yun finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Xu Lang, but saw Cheng Yiyi and Zhao Zhiruo bowing their heads at the same time.

"Aunt He, how are you talking about me." Xu Lang hurriedly changed the topic, "Old Lu, come, I'll toast you." ”

Lu Tianxiang finished drinking with a smile: "We are old, you young people can do these things by yourself." However, Lin Gongzi, Miss Zhao, when will you officially come to school? ”

Lin Chao hurriedly replied: "There is no problem with the student, he is ready and ready to go to work at any time." ”

Zhao Zhiruo also said: "The little girl has also been to the school in the past few days, the little girl is only a shallow learner, and it is okay to teach some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and other techniques are nothing, the little woman can't do anything." ”

"It doesn't matter." Cheng Yiyi took Zhao Zhiruo's hand, "What we lack now is a teacher in this area, you are a professional counterpart." ”

"Sister-in-law, do you really want to go back to Annan again?" In Yao Han's temporary residence, Yao Dexiang stood aside respectfully and asked.

"Uncle, Annan's industry is your eldest brother's hard work, although your eldest brother is gone, after all, he has left the blood of the Yao family. And we, the people of the Ming Dynasty, starvation to death is a small matter, and a loss of festival is a big matter. I will never have other thoughts in the future, raise my children well, and re-support the industry left by your eldest brother, which is worthy of your Yao family. Yao Hanshi said and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Besides, Yulin Bay has a life-saving grace for us, and we should repay it. ”

"But after all, my nephew is still too young, and the place in Annan is also poor, and if you are alone, my father may not be able to agree."

"I can go with my sister-in-law, with me with my sister-in-law, nothing will happen." Yao Chun went out for the first time when he was so old, and he was curious about everything he looked at along the way, especially after coming to this Yulin Bay, he had never seen it before, he had never heard of it, and his heart had long been unable to take it back.

"Nonsense." Yao Dexiang scolded his sister, "You are also a big boss, why don't you find a good family quickly, you want to be an old girl." ”

"I'm only 16." Yao Chun replied unconvinced, "Look at Sister Cheng, who is ten years older than me, no one is in a hurry, what am I anxious about." ”

"You." Yao Dexiang had just said the word "you" when he was interrupted by Yao Han, "Uncle, I heard that the people in Yulin Bay are not my Ming people, but the remnants of the Great Song Dynasty who went overseas after Yashan, can my uncle know about this?" ”

"Back to sister-in-law, that's exactly the case." Yao Dexiang told his sister-in-law about the news he inquired about, "The people of Yulin Bay are the remnants of the Great Song Dynasty after Yashan, and they themselves said that they have been adrift overseas for hundreds of years, and this time they came to Yazhou because of a storm at sea." ”

"Is this news reliable?" Yao Han asked.

"It should be reliable." Yao Dexiang replied, "Although we don't know how they have survived overseas over the years, we have no doubt about their speech and demeanor, food and clothing customs. ”

At the same time, Jiang Beiming and Liu Guannan were sitting upright in the office of the Justice Bureau, opposite the Shinyuzaemon.

"Yao An." Jiang Beiming thought for a while, "Do you think it's better for us to call you Yao Anhao or Shinyou Saemon?" ”

"Back to my lord." Shinyuzaemon hurriedly stood up, "You can call people small whatever you want, and the villain should go down." ”

"Well answered." Jiang Beiming didn't know whether to approve or mock and clapped his hands: "Saemon, what did you do when you were in Dongying, how do you know Dutch?" ”

In fact, Jiang Beiming knows some Japanese history. During the Edo period under the Tokugawa shogunate, Japan was in a period of isolation, and the Netherlands and Chinese mainland were Japan's only remaining windows to the outside world. The Netherlands brought a large amount of advanced Western culture and military technology to Japan, laying a solid foundation for the Meiji Restoration. In 1600, a Dutch trading company's ship, the Mercy, drifted to the western coast of Japan, ushering in a new era of exchange between Japan and the Netherlands. During the Tokugawa Shogunate (1603-1867), the Dutch East India Company was granted permission to trade with Japan and set up Dutch trading houses in Nagasaki and other places. Through the Netherlands as a bridge for economic and cultural exchanges, Western scholarship (orchid studies) began to be systematically spread to Japan, and gradually formed a prosperous scene of orchid studies in the east. In the historical process of the transformation of Japanese civilization and its march to modern times, the study and research of "Rangaku" occupies a very important position. Through books from the Netherlands and their translations, Japan opened a path for transplanting and studying Western science and technology. Therefore, the rise and development of Lanxue enabled Japan, which was isolated from the world at that time, to successfully complete its transformation during the Wise Restoration and embark on the road of capitalist modernization.

So it's understandable that Shinyuzaemon knows Dutch, Jiang Beiming just asked knowingly.

"Back to my lord." Shinyuzaemon replied, "The villain's family was also engaged in business when he was in Toei, and he had some dealings with the Dutch, so the villain also learned a few Dutch words. Later, the villain boat encountered a storm at sea, but fortunately was rescued by my master, and his life savings were buried in the sea. I was so young that I had nowhere to go, so I followed my master, and it has been three years now. ”

"I see." Jiang Beiming asked again, "Would you like to stay in my Yulin Bay as an interpreter?" ”

"Back to my lord." Shinyu Saemon's voice is still the same, "Although the villain is from Toei, he also understands the truth of 'eating the king's luck and taking the king's business'. The villain's life was saved by my master, and my master's life was saved by the adults. As long as my master agrees, the villain is willing to stay here and work for the adults. ”

"Okay, you go down first, I'll discuss this matter with your master." Jiang Beiming waved his hand and retreated from the Shinyu Saemon Gate, turned his head and asked Liu Guannan, "What do you think?" ”

"This man is no ordinary Japanese businessman." Liu Guannan said as he walked over and closed the office door, "You see that when he speaks, he is neither humble nor arrogant, and he is confident, as if he has already thought about how to answer any question." Also, looking at his speech and demeanor, he seems to reveal a unique temperament, which cannot be pretended. ”

"I've noticed what you're saying, so do you think we're using him or not using him now?"

"Not really? Now he is the only one who knows Dutch, who can you use without him? Liu Guannan replied, "You can only use it first, just pay more attention, even if he has any secrets, it is estimated that it will not be aimed at Yulin Bay." ”

Ye Sun's family lit candles for the second time. The armed belt on Ye Zhan's waist was finally matched with the shoulder strap, and the newly recruited 500 soldiers formed a new battalion. Ye Zhan became the first batch of Ming Dynasty people to be promoted to the platoon commander of the new barracks.

Ye San touched the stars on Ye Zhan's shoulders again and asked, "Second brother, you have been promoted, why are there 2 fewer stars on your shoulders?" ”

Ye Zhan touched his younger brother's head: "There are fewer stars, but the official is promoted, your second brother is now a second lieutenant platoon commander, and I will understand when you grow up." ”

As soon as Ye Zhan finished speaking, the door of the house was suddenly pushed open, and Ye Yan and Li Xiao broke into the house angrily.

"Uncle Ye, aunt." After Li Xiao greeted Ye Sunquan and his wife, he glanced at Ye Zhan who was sitting on the side, "Shout, second brother, have you been promoted again?" How? Ensign? It's fast enough. ”

Ye Yan sat on the chair with his buttocks, and put the baton in his hand on the table: "Grandma, I forced Lao Tzu to be anxious, Lao Tzu quit and joined the army." ”

Ye Sunquan glared at his eldest son dissatisfied: "I said that you are not a big boss, why are you frizzy all day long, your second brother has just been promoted to platoon commander, you are such a face, who do you want to block me?" ”

"Uncle Ye, how can you, how can you." Li Xiao hurriedly explained, "This is not for you, let alone for the second brother." ”

"Who is that?"

"Who else?" Ye Yan raised his head, "Isn't that Chief Inspector Wu?" If you don't understand, you know that you can't stay in this patrol room if you command blindly all day long. ”

Li Xiao pulled Ye Zhan from behind: "Don't say it, don't say it, the second brother has been promoted to second lieutenant, and I don't have any congratulatory gifts as an elder brother." Auntie, add a pair of chopsticks, I will give a few cups to the second brother in a while. ”

The family and Li Xiao sat around the dinner table again. Ye Zhan put down his wine glass and said to Ye Sunquan and Luo: "Dad, mother, I may not be able to go home for another 2 months, and I still have to live in the new barracks." ”

"Ugh." Roche sighed, "We know, you're busy, this is also tolerance, isn't it?" ”

"Also, Dad, Mother, I may have to go farther next year, maybe I won't be able to come back in a year and a half."

"Further? Where are you going? Not only Ye Sunquan and his wife, but even Ye Yan and Li Xiao were stunned by Ye Zhan's words.

"Annan."

"Annan? Where is that? Is it farther than Yazhou City? Ye Sunquan didn't know where Annan was, "Why do you have to go for so long?" ”

"Annan is on the other side of the sea, not the territory of the Ming Dynasty." Ye Zhan didn't know how to explain Annan to his father, so he had to say, "Chief Jiang personally looked for me and asked me what I meant. Next year we may go to Annam to station, Chief Chiang said, this is also the meaning of the imperial court. ”

"The Imperial Court?" Ye Sunquan is even more confused, the imperial court should be far to the north, it is a place farther away than his hometown Fujian, and the imperial court also knows about Annan?

"Since it is the meaning of the court, father, mother, this is the second brother who is loyal to the court." Ye Yan was afraid that his mother would guard Li Xiao and cry again, so he hurriedly said, "Dad, don't you often say that it is my duty to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country." ”
