After sighing, Liu Zhongwu pointed out a few Shaanxi generals again, half-joking and half-T] "I remember that several of you are also loyal heirlooms, how did you come to Hangzhou to study for a long time, how insidious and insidious are the conspiracy you come up with, could it be that you come here to study, and you can learn a belly of intrigues and tricks?!" ”

::'s poisonous scheme, there is no one like it. ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

At this time, Japan has received the news that Zhao Xing plans to visit, and the Japanese palace secretary is not in a hurry about it, and the Minister of the Interior, Fujiwara, elegantly handed the letter from Yuan Yeping to the officials next to him, and said with a leisurely and fascination look: "I have not often heard that this Sumen disciple leads the fashion of the Great Song Dynasty, with delicious food and wine, and Chinese costumes, even the famous Cai Jingjing is ashamed." I used to hear Song Shang talk about it, I hate to be born in the Song Kingdom, and I can appreciate the style of the Si people with my own eyes, and now he is coming, which is a grand event. ”

The palace secretary next to him nodded vigorously, and a palace secretary said with a yearning face: "When this person had not yet made a big name, he came to my country, but unfortunately I did not participate in that banquet, I regret it." This banquet must not leave me behind. ”

Yuan Yeqing, the liaison person sent by the Kwantung Samurai Regiment in the imperial court, quietly reminded: "I heard that he is coming this time, and he plans to bring the Third Fleet of Qi Nanyang, as well as his newly established Blue Dragon and White Tiger Legion, which is a full 50,000 people." ”

As soon as the words fell, several officials rushed to answer: "I know that the manor of the Nagato Hall cannot accommodate these 50,000 people, so it is better for me to come forward to receive some of them—ah, the Heavenly Army of the Heavenly Kingdom, the huge fleet, the gorgeous soldiers, and the fierce weapons...... This glory is enough for my children and grandchildren to talk about for a thousand years. ”

Yuan Yeqing said softly: "It is said that the Nagato Hall requires our country to strictly control the output of sulfur......"

The Fujiwara clan sternly ordered: "Then send more manpower - the heavenly soldiers of the heavenly kingdom will come to supervise, quickly divide a piece of land, let these heavenly soldiers garrison, and the neighboring people will build houses for them, and they must not be neglected." ”

Hei Kiyotai also took the opportunity to express his position when the Heike samurai regiment was in the court: "The Heavenly Army is stationed in the sulfur mines, and it is impossible to do without provisions, and let the neighboring people send fifty farmers each to help the Heavenly Soldiers cultivate the land - these soldiers of the Kingdom are too delicate to be allowed to do rough work." ”

The Fujiwara clan waved a small fan and shouted loudly: "This is a grand event, you need to prepare in advance, quickly order, all the great people will offer their best daughters, with the best tea, the best house, the most beautiful music, to entertain these soldiers of the Celestial Empire." ”

Fujiwara finished. There was a nodding scene below. Countless Japanese palace secretaries whispered: "Fifty thousand soldiers of the Heavenly Dynasty came to cultivate in person." Now. A hundred years of work can be completed in one year. But it's a big event! ”

Early August. In anticipation of the Japanese palace secretary and samurai. Zhao Xing set off from Hangzhou with an army of about 30,000.

It's different from the Japanese people who get the news in advance. In Japan, it is estimated that there are 50,000 people in Zhao Xing. But they miscalculated Zhao Xing's military system. Although the salary of Zhao Xing's army was rich. But he only counted the regular soldiers. Often, a regular soldier needs several servants to serve him. And the salaries of these servants are borne by the regular soldiers. The servants who pay attention to the ground are even hired to pour tea and polish their boots. The thrifty and thrifty landlord only hired one relative to make an appearance. Therefore, the Japanese side estimated that Zhao Xingneng had 50,000 troops. But in fact, only 11,000 people were recorded on Zhao Xingdi's roster.

Zhao Xingdi's logistical supply is also different from others. He has completely adopted the Song Dynasty bidding method. Contract army supplies to merchants. So. When 30,000 soldiers from other places arrived in Japan. The follow-up businessmen also exceeded 30,000. They trailed behind the army with a large fleet. I can't figure out the situation in Japan. They even regarded the ordnance supplies they carried with them as if they were here to sell local goods. All of a sudden. Japan's domestic food prices plummeted, silk prices plummeted, and textile prices plummeted. All the Japanese merchants exclaimed: the Song people brought a huge amount of grain and clothing. That's a lot of food. It's enough to feed the whole of Japan for ten years. And there are so many costumes. It can be worn by all the people of Japan for a hundred years.

Zhao Xing is in Nagato Deng6 places. Most of the Song merchants sailed into Hakata Bay.

The Japanese people looked in awe. Watch as their unimaginably large fleet sails into their bay. Subsequently. Their enthusiasm is like a volcanic eruption. Countless Japanese people bring their daughters from all over the world. Pounce on Hakata Bay like a locust - well. And so it goes. The Japanese who originally farmed the land also fell sharply in Japan.

Zhao Xing stepped into his manor under the warm welcome of the Japanese palace secretary, and wondered all the way: "There was no resistance, it was so enthusiastic, this enthusiasm made me embarrassed to draw a knife." ”

Shuai Fan rolled his eyes beside him: "Taishi is still embarrassed?" ”

Yuan Yeping followed cautiously, his face was very ugly, he knew that this army was enough to have the power to destroy the country - five hundred years later, Japan's so-called Warring States War, two countries can dispatch five hundred soldiers is already a national war, but Zhao Xing brought 11,000 soldiers this time, and they are all the most terrifying musketeers of this era.

The old man of the Sugawara clan bowed carefully and smiled flatteringly: "Nagato Hall is laughing, the heavenly soldiers are here, it's too late for us to welcome, how dare you slack off?" ”

Not far away, the Japanese ministers who greeted them stood at the door of Zhao Xing Manor, they still maintained the fashion of celebrities and scholars in the Wei and Jin dynasties - to put it simply, they painted their faces white with white powder, and at a glance they looked like the little ghosts of the Yama Hall had escaped from hell. This fashion comes from the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest", when Ruan Ji and others were under the high pressure of the Sima clan, under the invasion of the Hu people outside and the endless internal wars, they could not vent their grief and indignation, and could only show themselves maverick to show that they were incompatible with the society at that time. This custom was retained for 500 years as the Central Plains people fled to Japan to escape the war, and it was regarded as a "noble aesthetic" by Japan.

In the palace qingli who greeted them, all of them were gorgeously dressed, some wore Shu brocade, some wore potato yarn, and some wore Hangzhou bamboo, and their clothing styles were striking, as if a group of Song people were standing there, but the hats they wore were slightly different from those of the Song people, and they wore high crowns - the Japanese later called their variants "liwu hats".

Sugawara also wore gorgeous silk, this Song Dynasty silk was woven into a pattern, and under the breeze, the patterns on the brocade were undulating, as if someone was holding a flower and swaying, and Zhao Xing even recognized it as a kind of Suzhou silk, which was also the most sought after luxury in Japanese high society at that time.

With the prosperity of the Song-Japanese trade, the luxurious lifestyle of the Song people infected the upper class of Japan, and by the early Northern Song Dynasty, ordinary officials no longer wore silk fabrics produced in Japan, and even their maidservants wore imported clothes. In Murasaki Shikibu's diary, it is recorded that the clothes of the Great Nayan at the banquet from the 10th to the 3rd day of the first lunar month at that time were recorded. A set of Tang-style clothes and pants every day, with matching shades; Color styles do not overlap. Lian Nei Pong (attendant) ran through Tang Wu's clothes. Written by Japanese literati during this period, commentaries, legends, etc. For example, the clothing styles and textures of the characters in books such as "The Tale of Ronghua" and "The Tale of Genji" are all Tang and Song-style, and even imported directly from the Song Kingdom.

The Japanese palace is very luxurious, on the other hand, Zhao Xing, he wears a little simple: a standard Song Dynasty red cloth military uniform, an armed belt around his waist, two handcuffs pinned to the armed belt, a Tang horizontal sword (called a Japanese samurai sword in modern times), black pants, shiny black riding boots, a pair of white gloves, and a large ring on a finger outside the glove.

This dress looks solemn, but it also looks a little shabby. However, Zhao Xing's helmet added a lot of color to him, the helmet was stamped as a whole, and in the entire Great Song Army, he was the only one who wore such a golden helmet, and the helmet was polished very smooth, bright like a mirror. A cluster of ponytail helmets dyed red at the top of the helmet was eye-catching, making his whole person look radiant.

Zhao Xing's manor is completely Tang style, he did not have the cornices of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the whole manor seems to be the Three Kingdoms era of King Wu (Sun Quan) palace reproduction, after the completion of this manor, the kings of Japan have followed suit, they have a pilgrimage mentality from all over the country to see, and the style of this building to all parts of Japan, after that, even the Song merchants who lived in Nagato also imitated the style of this manor to build their own houses, so that the original very conspicuous manor seems commonplace, submerged in a row of houses.

As early as the early Northern Song Dynasty, the upper princes, ministers, and nobles of Japan's ruling class owned estates all over the country. The manor retains an independent character from the emperor's government, does not pay taxes to the state, and state officials are not allowed to interfere in the internal affairs of the manor. Due to the gradual increase in the number of estates, the national tax revenue decreased, forcing the emperor's court to ignore the emperor's reverence for the second year of Eikan (984 AD), the second year of Kantoku (1045 AD), and the third year of Tenki (AD: but the emperor's awe.

On the one hand, this is because the emperor himself is also building manors on a large scale, and he himself is the first year of junior high school, and no one else is allowed to do the fifteenth, so he will not speak loudly. Then another incident occurred, which made the trend of building manors in various parts of Japan more and more intense - in August of one year, the new ship of Song Shang Zhou sailed into Hakata Bay, and happened to be anchored in the Kanzaki manor under the control of the emperor. Dazaifu routinely sent people to inspect and verify, but Bizen Mamoru was parked in the boundary of the Emperor's Manor, and Dazaifu had no right to interfere in the affairs of the manor and was not allowed to enter the manor territory for inspection. Subsequently, in the name of "Yuan Xuan", Bizen Shou personally presided over the trade of Song merchant ships. From then on, Song merchant ships often bypassed Dazaifu to trade with other lords.

The convenience of the estates, and the fact that the sea trade was lucrative enough to make anyone take risks, led to the kings of Japan, in defiance of the emperor's ban, to build estates in their own domains, in order to bypass the Japanese government's monopoly regulations and trade directly with the Song merchants, enjoying the price of Song luxury goods while avoiding the state tax...... Zhao Xing's manor was also established under this circumstance, because this manor enjoyed the privilege of "not losing or entering", so the Japanese minister who greeted him could only stand at the gate of the manor to greet him, but he did not dare to step into the manor easily.

Zhao Xing walked to the gate of the manor, and a Japanese official stood up, looked Zhao Xing up and down appreciatively, and said, "Shanxiajian."

This is a poem in the "Ancient and Modern Collection", which belongs to the "Love Song Scroll", which is translated in modern times: "The mountain cherry blossoms are full of mist and misty, and the mist is faintly fragrant."

Affection is the most vague, and any glimpse is also moving. And the old translation is: "In the spring glow, it seems to see the mountain cherry blossoms." I haven't seen the face of the person, and the gentleman is in love. ”

Zhao Xing had a chill, and the official opposite introduced himself: "The little foreign minister Dajiang Qing has seen the Taishi of the Celestial Empire, and the Taishi's article is famous all over the world, and the Xiaochen wants to ask the Taishi for more advice." ”

The so-called "love songs" in ancient poems do not refer to the pleasure of men and women, most of them are metaphors for people and express a feeling in their hearts. Oe Kiyoshi recounted in the tone of a lover that he had heard of Zhao Xing's name, and was eager to see Zhao Xing like an unrequited lover, and now he finally got what he wanted.

There was nothing to say this, but in Japan, a country that likes Tang style (love with one heart), a man from the Oe Qing clan said this, which made Zhao Xinghan stand tall and admire the verses.

In the past few years, the Military Intelligence Department has investigated the situation of various countries in detail, and as soon as Shuai Fan heard the other party's name, he immediately understood, and he stepped forward to break Zhao Xing's embarrassment: "Oe Qing clan, I heard that the knowledge of poetry and literature in your country is hereditary from Sugawara and Oe clans. Since your surname is 'Oe', you must be the head of the Oe clan, right? ”

The Dajiang Qing clan obviously did enough investigation work, and he turned around and bowed his hand to Shuai Fan: "Shuai General is going east and west."

Countless countries have been destroyed, and when I see it today, it is really a famous general's demeanor, which makes people look up to T Chen is the head of the Dajiang family, and the Taishi came to our country in the past, and was entertained by the Sugawara clan, and the minister has never had the opportunity to come to him, and today is this opportunity, the minister is the one who will not let it. ”

Yuan Yeping snorted and whispered: "This guy spent twenty gold judgments (the Japanese gold judgments of the Song Dynasty imitated the Great Song Dynasty gold collars, each weighing ten taels), and the Sugawara family bought this opportunity......"

Zhao Xing sighed: "It turns out that the opportunity to meet me is worth twenty gold judgments, I don't know if this price is comparable to Warren Buffett?" ”

Yuan Yeping was stunned: "Who is Warren Buffett?" Is it the Western bard left behind by the adults? ”

Zhao Xing immediately nodded to cover up: "That's right, he will be called Buffett in the future." ”

Yuan Yeping pouted: "The ...... he sang Roland's song, procrastinating, no one can understand it, and he still has red hair and green eyes, who will spend twenty gold to meet him? ”

Shuai Fan snorted and muttered boringly: "These people are full of cheap smiles, and my hands are itchy when I look at them...... Hurry in, this long sea journey makes me uncomfortable. ”

Oe Qingshi hurriedly nodded: "It's ready, it's ready, the warm soup has been prepared in the manor, and we have also used the best fragrant wood to make the bath (bath bucket), and the ladies who rub the bath have also prepared two hundred, please pick the two adults first." ”

Shuai Fan opened his mouth wide in shock, and he didn't recall the shock for a long time: "Two hundred...... Can you eat it? ”

Oe Kiyoshi thought that Shuai Fan was not satisfied, and patted his chest and assured Shuai Fan that those ladies who rubbed the bath were all selected from Gong Qing's house, and their selection was no less strict than a draft competition, and he assured that these ladies were the highest quality ladies in Japan.

It is hard to imagine how the Japanese took great pains to transport the hot spring water from hot springs hundreds of miles away, and when it was poured into a bucket, the hot spring still retained its original heat, giving the whole house a strong sulfur smell.

Shuai Fan comfortably soaked in the soup bucket, and while calling out to the ladies to rub him in the bath, he said to Zhao Xing: "Is this the sulfur spring that the Taishi never forgets...... A little more to the left, a little heavier, yes, that's it...... Taishi, the Japanese people are so thoughtful, how can we speak? ”

Zhao Xing is also asking, he led the army to invade, and now the Japanese will not fight back and fight back. You want to rob his woman, and he cheers, lest his own woman will not satisfy you. You want to live in his house, he happily rolls on the ground, cleans the house up and down several times, and is careful that you dislike it, how can people speak? I can't tell the Japanese: Give up your homeland, give your woman, hand over your money, I don't plan to leave.

Maybe it was too late for the Japanese to be happy.

"This group of bastards, why don't they have a sense of homeland at all...... Zhao Xing said thoughtfully: "I heard that from the Three Kingdoms period, there were more than 2 million Japanese who moved from the Central Plains, and Japan called these immigrants 'Chinese', and the Chinese people compiled in Japan called 'tribesmen', there were hundreds of thousands...... Think about it, he has accepted millions of people, and is he still worried about our 30,000 birdmen? ”

Zhao Xing said, and added with annoyance: "I was wrong, this group of people has no sense ......of being invaded now, maybe we announced that we would live here, and that group of people still raised their hands and feet in approval, lest we regret it."

Shuai Fan wrinkled his face in distress, and hurriedly reminded: "Master Taishi, don't say that we are here to invade, maybe the Japanese know that we plan to garrison their country, so the whole country celebrates, and everyone knows about this matter, this matter will be caused to the imperial court, and the imperial court will think that the imperial master fled to Japan, then it will be bad." ”

Zhao Xing nodded with a bitter face: "This may be the worst aggression in history - the invader is actually afraid that he will say the words 'if you come, you won't leave', and being an aggressor can be regarded as the first person in history to do your job as a me." ”

Shuai Fan stretched out his hand from the bath, covered his face and said ashamedly: "I was wrong, I shouldn't have come here with the Taishi, my reputation has been ruined-they actually think that we are here to grow, shame!" ”

Yuan Yeping knelt at the door of the bathroom, heard the conversation in the door, and gently reminded: "When the Liao State destroyed the Bohai State, I heard about our Japan from the mouth of the Bohai people, and then the Liao people sent the captured Bohai people to Japan to ask for trade, but the emperor of the country refused, and the emperor of the country said: Non-Song merchants are not allowed to enter." For 200 years after that, our country only traded with the Song Kingdom, and merchants from other countries were never allowed to set foot in our territory. ”

Yuan Yeping reminded Zhao Xing that the phenomenon of sulfur sales he was worried about did not exist at all, and merchants from other countries were not allowed to enter the Japanese coastline at all.

The two people in the room were full of shame, and they were thinking about how to play a round for themselves, and Shuai Fan muttered unwillingly: "How will the history books record the actions of you and me this time-is it that you and I came east to cultivate for Japan?" Or are we planning to declare our power to the Wa Kingdom? ”

Zhao Xing came back to his senses and said resolutely: "The history books will not record that you and I went on this expedition, by the way, we are not on an expedition, we just stopped halfway." That's right, it's a stopover. ”

Yuan Yeping patted his leg at the door of the bathhouse and reminded: "After the order was issued, the soldiers were very enthusiastic, and they all rushed to plan to garrison the Japanese country. ”

Shuai Fan snorted: "Sugawara and Oe's two clans have arrived in Japan and inherited Japanese literature; Kiyohara and Nakahara arrived in Japan, hereditary Ming Jingdao; Mingfa Dao is the two clans of Sakagami and Central Plains; The arithmetic Tao is the Sanshan clan, and the Yin-Yang Dao is the He Mao and Abe two clans; The way of medicine is hereditary by the two clans of Waki and Tanba...... You listen to these names, Sugawara, Oe, Kiyohara, Nakahara ......"

Zhao Xing suddenly remembered something, he waved his hand to let the lady retreat, and said softly: "I have heard a rumor that a certain Japanese palace minister was once the grandson of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty

Holds the secret of the immortal family of the Han Dynasty. After he came to Japan, the king of Japan and his descendants were not allowed to be Sekibai. ”

The so-called "Xianjia Secret", according to the current words, is the identity certificate of the royal family, the Tang Dynasty called the "Yellow Book", the Song Dynasty has been referred to as "Jade", because this identity certificate was first engraved on the jade Gui, so it was named.

Shuai Fan also lowered his voice and asked, "Is this really the case?" So why don't they preach it? ”

Zhao Xing replied: "It is said that the grandson of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty ran away secretly, so his descendants had an agreement with the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom. ”

The "agreement" that Zhao Xing said was not officially announced to the public until 2000 AD, but when the news was announced, no one in China cared, and when the domestic people knew, it was already eight years later. At that time, Zhao Xing didn't care about this news, he just heard the Japanese minister quietly tell him about this rumor, and he was still suspicious of this news in his heart.

Shuai Fan pondered, his lips squirmed and wanted to say something, at this time, several ladies walked in with clothes, ready to change the clothes for the two - according to the fashion of the Japanese people at that time, the master let the ladies leave halfway, which was to show that he intended to end the bath, so the ladies turned around and brought the clothes.

This time Zhao Xing changed into casual clothes brought with him, this costume was not dyed, it maintained the original coarse cloth image, but only on the cloth inscribed a lot of poems and paintings, including Mi's handwriting, Huang Tingjian's pen, and some miscellaneous, not very famous calligraphers left graffiti on Zhao Xing's clothes. These handwritings come in a variety of forms, including cursive, lined, and regular scripts, with horizontal and vertical strokes, like the inscription board left at the opening ceremony in modern times.

The Japanese palace ministers who were invited in again changed their clothes in the blink of an eye, and their clothes still maintained that gorgeous style, however, as soon as these people saw Zhao Xing's title robe, their eyes immediately released a thief's bright light, Abe Yan was impatient, he sat directly next to Zhao Xing, pulled Zhao Xing's sleeve and read out the handwriting on it one by one: "The first demon in the world...... Pedantic...... Straightforward, butcher, unreasonable...... Ah, I recognized it, this is Huang Luzhi's self-written, Master Su once said that Huang Luzhi's words are like 'stone squanishing snake', sure enough, what is this written - the warning is urgent! ”

Abe Yan shouted Huang Luzhi's name, and the Japanese palace secretary couldn't sit still, they all gathered to Zhao Xing's side, regardless of etiquette, lying on Zhao Xing's body to identify the inscriptions, while gesturing with his fingers in the air, copying the handwriting, and appreciating them.

After a long time, the palace secretaries came back to their original positions and returned to their original positions, and the Dajiang clan apologized first: "I'm too anxious and rude...... I often hear that the Changmen Hall is a closed disciple of Master Su, but I don't know that the Changmen Hall can treasure the calligraphy and paintings of Master Su, so that I can wait to observe it? ”

Zhao Xing clapped his hands, the attendant hurriedly handed over a pair of folding fans, Zhao Xing took the fan in his hand, and opened the fan, and the fan was inscribed with Su Dongpo's "Huangzhou Cold Food Post" - which is praised by modern Japanese as "Huangzhou Cold Food Post worth half of Japan".

This folding fan attracted the attention of the Japanese palace secretary, and the next banquet, the topic mainly revolved around this "Huangzhou Cold Food Post", in front of the charm of the Great Song Dynasty's pen and ink, Zhao Xing's graffiti costume immediately looked extraordinary, which made all the gorgeous costumes of the Japanese people suddenly lose color......

A few days later, the depressed Shuai Fan complained to Zhao Xing dissatisfiedly: "Tai Lieutenant, have you thought about where we will fight?" Let's go, these days in Japan, the soldiers have been corrupted, where is this army, it is clearly a group of big prostitutes. I figured it out, Taishi didn't come to Japan to fight with the Japanese at all, but to fight with them in costumes - look at you, those Japanese people change their clothes three times a day, and you also follow them to change their clothes, why is this? ”

Zhao Xing replied lazily: "It's difficult, the world is surging, where is the opponent?" ”

Shuai Fan blinked his eyes and suggested with a ghostly expression: "Why don't we go north, I inquired with Song Shang a few days ago, there are often whaling boats going north here, they say that there is a river in the north that flows directly into the sea, and there are often big fish that are one person tall at the mouth of the river migrating, and the locals call that kind of fish 'salmon', and legend has it that there is a black dragon in that river, so the locals call that river 'Heilongjiang'." I often wonder if that river is the legendary black water, and the so-called black water Jurchen is not a barbarian tribe living on both sides of that river. ”

Zhao Xing was terrified, he clapped his hands and ordered someone to bring a map, while studying the map, he said: "I don't know, the Jurchen news we get now is all heard from the locals, maybe there are different translation methods for a place name, maybe this river is also Heishui, if that's the case, it is really necessary to go to the Jiangkou to show off his might, at least let them understand that my Great Song Dynasty has the ability to copy their back road." ”

Shuai Fan instigated: "That's right, I also heard that there is golden sand on that river, gold, which can be crazy compared to anything, as long as there is golden sand, this trip is worth it." No matter how cold and barren that land is, the news of the gold mines will drive the merchants crazy. ”

Zhao Xingxing got up: "Just go—I'm impatient with this boring banquet, and now I can leave and return before winter." As far as I know, the winters in that land are cold. ”

Shuai Fan also got up: "If you beat a child on a rainy day, you will be idle if you are idle, so you will go to that territory and walk around, you can't catch sands, even if you catch some big fish." ”

Zhao Xing dropped the map in his hand and sighed: "I wanted to shoot a crane, but I didn't expect to catch a fish." ”

When Zhao Xing said "shoot a crane," he was talking about dealing with Japan. Japan called the emperor's voice "crane sound", Zhao Xing originally wanted to attack Japan, but he didn't expect to appear here, and he didn't need to do it at all, the group of Japanese had already posted it, and he was afraid that he would not be satisfied.
