Xiu Bao did not intend to communicate with Shen Weijing in Chinese, so as not to make him and the governor wary of him, as for Li Zongcheng's matter, Xiu Bao didn't want to bother with them, and after nodding his head to show understanding, he motioned for Shen Weijing to lead him to visit Yang Fangheng.

Yang Fangheng had just put on his official uniform at this time, covered his lower body with a quilt, and sat on the bed waiting for Xiubao's arrival, and he had learned from Shen Weijing earlier that this nephew of Ping Xiuji, like his uncle, was an out-and-out bloodthirsty man, and at the age of seventeen, he single-handedly quelled the rebellion that affected Sanzhou, and after the war, he even divided all the traitors' heads.

"This is Lord Yang's bedroom." Just as Yang Fangheng was thinking about how to deal with Xiubao, Shen Weijing had already led Xiubao to the door of the bedroom.

"Lord Yang, the Japanese envoy has come to visit you." Shen Weijing shouted at the top of his voice outside the door.

"Hirahideho?" Hideho couldn't help laughing, but he didn't expect that he had unknowingly changed his surname, these messengers must have thought that since he was Hideyoshi's nephew, he must have the same surname as Hideyoshi, Hideyoshi was called "Taira Hideyoshi", then he was naturally "Taira Hidebo", I wanted to use "Gen Daoyi" to call Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and later use "Gen Ieyasu" to call Tokugawa Ieyasu, it seems that I didn't understand the Japanese surname and Miao characters from beginning to end.

"Please call you, Dami-sama." Yang Fangheng pretended to be calm and informed.

Shen Weijing slowly pushed open the door, bowed down and asked Xiubao and the president to enter the house first, while he stood silently behind the two, ready to give advice to Yang Fangheng at any time.

"Lord Yang, this is Toyotomi, oh no, it's Lord Heihideho." Konishi Yukinaga introduced in broken Chinese.

"You're Ping-sama?" Yang Fangheng looked at Xiubao in surprise and muttered in a low voice, "Why is it different from what Lord Shen said." ”

"May I ask Mamoru Setsu, what is Lord Yang talking about?" Hideho asked deliberately.

"It's nothing," the governor hurriedly said perfunctorily, "Lord Yang praised His Highness for his dignified appearance, magnificence, and gentlemanly style. ”

"That's right, thank you Lord Yang for me." Xiubao smiled and said, "By the way, I don't know when Lord Yang's body will be able to heal, so I'd better get on the road as soon as possible, so as not to miss a big event." ”

"I hope that Lord Taira will leave for Kyoto immediately, I wonder if Lord Yang has any objections?" The governor "sought" Yang Fangheng's opinion in a rather tough tone, presumably he had already learned the details of this person from Shen Weijing's mouth, so there was no need to taboo his identity.

"Everything is up to Lord Ping, and everything is up to Lord Ping." Yang Fangheng was asked by the president like this, and quickly nodded his head, and replied indiscriminately at a loss.

"What a poor old man," Xiu Bao silently sympathized in his heart, "Sending such an old Confucian who has never seen the world to send an envoy overseas, even if he is not deceived by a superb assistant like Shen Weijing, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be bullied by other clans above the court of the foreign domain and damage the image of his country." ”

The governor nodded with satisfaction, and said to Xiubao with a smile: "Your Highness Qiqi, Lord Yang said that he is in good health, and he will be able to enter Beijing with you to meet His Highness Taige immediately." ”

"In that case, let's hit the road tomorrow." Xiubao bowed slightly to Yang Fangheng, and then brushed his sleeves away, this set of actions seems to be disdain for the envoy, but in fact it is Xiubao's grief and helplessness that he hates iron and steel, how can such officials inherit the bearing of a great country and show the style of China?

At noon on July 2, Hideho and his party of nearly 200 men set out from Hakata, entered the Seto Inland Sea along the Nagato waterway, and arrived at Kurujima Castle in Iyonoma-gun on July 10.

"His Royal Highness is really flattered to come to the city." Mr. Kurishima always limped to the pier, his face shining brightly.

"Your Royal Highness Mamoru Izumo, your legs..."Hideho didn't want to ask, but after all, he couldn't resist his curiosity, wondering how he obtained 14,000 stone Zhixing with this body and became the second "pirate daimyo" after the Nine Demons Yoshitaka.

"Let His Highness laugh," Mr. Tong wiped his thick beard indiscriminately, and explained without hesitation: "In the Battle of Yupu back then, I wanted to rush into the encirclement and aid His Highness Fujitang, but I didn't expect to be hit by a stray bullet, and since then I have been disabled?" ”

"You also participated in the Battle of Wenlu? Why haven't you heard of it? Xiubao looked at Gao Hu in surprise, this history can be said to be completely blank in his mind.

"At the beginning, His Royal Highness agreed to go to North Korea after the minister's approval, and besides, he didn't make an inch, so it was really not worth showing off, so he tried to keep a low profile." Gao Hu said with an aggrieved face.

"Lord Fujido is too modest," Mr. Tong praised, "If you hadn't broken through the siege and sacrificed yourself to save you, I would have lost more than this leg." ”

"Okay," Xiubao looked at Gao Hu, who was drooping his head, and comforted: "It's me who forgot, don't worry about it, I will want you to be my military advisor when I go to Korea in the future." ”

"Expedition to North Korea?!" Mr. Tong's eyes lit up suddenly, and he asked excitedly, "Could it be... Is there still a fight in this battle? ”

Only then did Hideho realize that he had lost his words, and when he saw the governor beside him, he hurriedly changed his words: "Izumo Mamoru has thought about it a lot, I mean that if this negotiation fails, Taiko will never spare those Goryeo sticks." ”

"Goryeo sticks?" Anyone who understands Japanese at the scene stares at Hideho with big ignorant eyes, hoping that he can give a reasonable explanation for this new term.

Xiubao knew that he was cheap, so he had to recite a document from the Qing dynasty Wang Yiyuan's "Liaozuo Records of Observations": "There are clouds in the Ming book: in addition to the Korean tribute envoys, those who serve are called "sticks"; The women of his country have committed adultery, that is, they have not been included in official prostitutes, and the sons born to them are called "sticks", and they despise the people. Those with sticks should have fluffy sideburns and should not be wrapped in a scarf; If you travel thousands of miles, you shall not ride; Lying on the ground through grass, no sleeping place on the fire. Cover the lowly and laborers in the country. I knew that he was an illegitimate child, and he was passed down from generation to generation, so he was divided into a class, slightly like the fallen people of Zhejiang. ”

After listening to Xiubao's such a glittering passage, even Shen Weijing, who was born in the Ming Kingdom, could not distinguish the true from the false, of course, in order to prove that his deputy envoy was very knowledgeable, he casually echoed: "The adult is really a rich man, born in Jiaxing, Zhejiang, and knows a little about the 'fallen people', as the adult said, it is indeed a name for the untouchables." ”

"So 'stick' means untouchable." Mr. Kurishima was the first to respond, "I don't understand what His Highness said, but if it is as Lord Shen said, then it is most appropriate to call Koreans 'sticks'." ”

"I just made a slip of the tongue, don't take it seriously." Xiubao apologized to the two North Korean envoys behind Yang Fangheng with a slight salute. In these two people are the correspondence envoys sent by North Korea, the main envoy is Dunning Duzheng Huang Shen (Zheng Sanpintang Shangguan), and the deputy envoy is Daegu Prefecture Envoy Park Hongchang (from Sanpintang), these two people were ordered by the king of Korea to follow the Ming Dynasty delegation to Japan to negotiate peace, of course, this is just a name, in fact, all the power of reduction is in the hands of Yang Fangheng, to be precise, Shen Weijing is in the hands, they are just vases, pretending to be, but after all, they are envoys of a country, face is always to give, and it is also hurtful to be commensurate with a "stick".

Seeing Xiubao apologize to him, the two envoys were immediately flattered, and hurriedly waved their hands to signal that Xiubao didn't need to mind, Huang Shen even smiled shamelessly: "Your Highness Hugh wants to say this, it is inevitable that the two countries will fight, and it is inevitable that their grievances will be revealed, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." ”

"That's it, Your Highness, don't be polite to him, these two people have long been notorious, when the peace talks failed, they happened to pass through the island when they were driven back to North Korea by Taige, if they hadn't given them more than a dozen stones of grain from their humble positions, I'm afraid they would have starved to death at sea, I'm right, Lord Huang?" Coming to the island is always yin and yang

Said to Huang Shen.

"Yes, yes, the kindness of the Lord of the Island is unforgettable." Huang Shengui shrank and nodded frequently in thanks.

"Don't blame your subordinates for talking too much," Gao Hu leaned into Xiubao's ear and whispered, "North Korea is a dog of the Ming Kingdom, do you need to say thank you to the dog, you are just polite to the envoys of the Ming Kingdom, you can insult these sticks unscrupulously, even if you add fists and kicks, there will be no problem." ”

Looking at Gao Hu's serious expression, Xiubao had no choice but to nod and agree: "There is a saying in China that 'beating a dog looks at the master', even if North Korea is a dog, it is also the dog of the Ming Kingdom, otherwise the Ming Emperor will not send troops to help, if they are insulted in every way, they will definitely fan the flames in the Ming Kingdom after they go back, and it will not be solved by an apology at that time, in short, it is better to be careful before the peace negotiation is successful." ”

"My lord, an urgent report from Fushimi!" A samurai crawled up to Hideho and handed him a secret letter.

Hideho tore open the envelope under the gaze of everyone, and when he saw the contents of the letter, he couldn't help but pat his head and say, "How did you forget about this!" ”

"Gao Hu," Hideho instructed in a low voice, "there is an earthquake in Fushimi, you leave for Beijing immediately, and give me a reply as soon as you make sure that your family is safe, as for Osaka, I don't need to say more about how to 'behave', just tell Taiko, and say that I will delay as much as possible on the mission side, and I will take them into Beijing when he is ready." ”

"Don't worry, the lord will definitely handle this matter properly, and definitely make Taige impressed with you." With that, Gao Hu quickly returned to the ship, and after a while, he left the dock.
