In the early morning of the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, at the 16th Wharf of the Huangpu River, the diligent dock workers had shoveled the debris of firecrackers set off last night and the residual snow from the wharf square to the side of the road and piled them into dirty snowdrifts. Although in the eyes of Zhang Pu and other talented people of the restoration society, the behavior of these workers is really a bit unpleasant, and these dirty snowdrifts are not as interesting as the white snow covered with firecracker debris in the square before, and the faint red in the snow.

However, at present, Zhang Pu and his friends did not have such great interest to ponder how to put the snow scene in front of them into the poem, and let these dock workers destroy this rare snow scene.

Looking at the gloomy and gloomy expressions on the faces of Zhang Pu and others, they also knew that it was not a good thing to send people on a trip this time. Zhang Pu looked up at the sky and saw that after the sky turned white, he turned to the people who sent him off and said with a reluctant smile: "Friends stop, there will be a farewell for thousands of miles, Ximing is here to say goodbye to you, I go to the sea and the sky, and I don't know when I can return to Daming to meet with you..."

Zhang Pu choked in his throat, and finally couldn't say any more, so he made a deep bow to everyone to show his final farewell. Huang Chunyao, a scholar from Jiading who came to see him off, couldn't help but say with hatred: "Why did Brother Ximing go abroad to avoid eunuchs, traitors like Wei Zhongxian, when they came to Suzhou, they brutalized the gentry, extorted businessmen and wealthy households, and harmed the people of Suzhou.

Who inside and outside Suzhou City doesn't know that Brother Ximing is a humble gentleman and a dignified leader, how can he collude with the Taihu bandits. As long as anyone with a discerning eye knows, Wei Gelding wants to take the opportunity to take revenge on Brother Xi Ming, isn't it because Brother Xi Ming wrote a "Tombstone of Five" a few years ago, wanting to remind His Majesty of the eunuchs' crimes in the past that poisoned the world.

I thought that Brother Ximing should stay and deal with eunuchs like Wei Zhongxian. Even if he is as calm and righteous as Zhou Gong of Tatezhou, it is better than wandering overseas and disappearing in a foreign land. What's more, Wei Gelding made a big deal about the Taihu Lake bandits, and the famous families around Taihu Lake were not harassed by him.

If Brother Ximing can raise his arms and exhale, maybe there will be gentry from all over the country vying to respond, so that Wei Biao will be ruthless, and Brother Ximing will be able to survive in a desperate situation..."

Huang Chunyao's remarks immediately aroused the support of his younger brother and several other colleagues in the Restoration Society, and even Zhang Pu's eyes showed a little struggle, Wu Changshi on the side rolled his eyes, and also pretended to persuade him: "If Brother Ximing changes his mind, and the younger brother is willing to run around to contact, it is necessary to let Wei Zhongxian become the target of my Jiangnan Shilin..."

Ma Shiying, who had been standing behind these scholars and didn't intend to be too ostentatious, finally couldn't help but stand up at this moment, and he reprimanded these young people who didn't know the height of the sky: "Do you want to send Ximing to death?" Do you know who exposed Ximing's bandits in front of Wei Zhongxian? It's Ximing's clansman.

If Ximing stays in the country, he will inevitably be summoned by the government for questioning, no matter whether there is evidence to confirm that Ximing is a bandit, Ximing's reputation will be ruined. He is now going to Ryukyu for a while, and after the beginning of spring, he will go to Osaka University in Japan to teach, avoiding this period of limelight, and then he will naturally have nothing to do. ”

Although the Fushe scholars looked down on this embezzler, Ma Shiying's remarks quieted them down. Zhang Pu's clansmen came forward to accuse him of being a bandit, obviously wanting to cut ties with him in front of Wei Zhongxian. But when this matter spreads, how can ordinary people believe that Zhang Pu is innocent? For a scholar leader like Zhang Pu, reputation is even more important.

What the scholars of the Restoration Society thought of, Zhang Pu naturally thought of it faster. In fact, if Ma Shiying hadn't come forward to dredge up the relationship, he wouldn't even be able to leave. Now he can still teach at Osaka University in Japan as a Ming scholar, which is also the result of a compromise between all parties.

On that day, the gentry in Jiangnan supported him to establish the Restoration Society, but just as the fire was cooking oil and flowers, he encountered the Nanjing scientific expedition case, which caused the prestige of the Restoration Society to plummet, and then the split between the leaders of the Restoration Society made the Restoration Society begin to decline. In order to reorganize the prestige of the Restoration Society, Zhang Pu took Qian Qianyi's door; On the one hand, he helped the Suzhou gentry in the early stage of the Taihu Lake robbery case, trying to suppress the case.

However, who would have expected that this case would bring Wei Zhongxian back to life and run out of the imperial tomb in Fengyang. Wei Zhongxian's vicious methods against the Jiangnan gentry in the past are still imprinted in the nightmare of these gentry. And the emperor's decentralization of power to Wei Zhongxian made these gentry panic, they were afraid that this case would become an opportunity for Wei Zhongxian's resurrection.

In the end, the gentry in Jiangnan chose to give in to the emperor's will and cut off the gentry who were involved in the Taihu Lake bandits. However, Zhang Pu has become their biggest flaw, whether it is the establishment of the Restoration Society, or the contact in the early stage of the Taihu bandit case, Zhang Pu has too many black materials in his hands.

In the eyes of a righteous gentleman, these materials are just a laugh, but if they fall into the hands of a eunuch like Wei Zhongxian, it is very likely that another Donglin Party case will come out, so these gentry will never allow Zhang Pu to fall into the hands of Wei Zhongxian. If Zhang Pu really went to turn himself in, I am afraid that he would die unexplained before he met Wei Zhongxian.

Zhang Pu was able to leave the sea and go to Japan, which was exactly what the gentry were happy to see, and this was also the biggest concession for those gentry. Zhang Puxin also knows very well that Ma Shiying has also contributed a lot to get this ending. It's just that Nanjing has been friends for a few days, and he can actually get the help of the other party, Zhang Pu thought of this, so he gave Ma Shiying a deep sigh of gratitude, and then walked over the wet dock square without his head, and walked towards the passenger ship "Fanxing" moored by the dock.

Ye Yuxuan sat cross-legged on the tatami mat in the north, intently commenting on a lacquerware table, and placed two copper charcoal plates on his left and right sides, baking the room extremely warm. The weather in Osaka is similar to the sea, and the coldest season is the first of the year. This kind of cold is not like the dry cold of the north, but the clammy cold that penetrates into the bone marrow, and no matter how much the breeze blows, you can't feel the warmth of your clothes.

This kind of weather once made Ye Yuxuan extremely uncomfortable, but after renovating his residence, his residence was finally not as cold as those Japanese longhouses with simple partitions. After completing a stack of books, Ye Yuxuan motioned to the girls next to him to give the books to the secretaries next door, and then raised his head and looked at Yoshikawa Kosuke, who was kneeling there and pleading guilty to himself, and said coldly.

"You really disappointed me, I originally thought that you were one of the more intelligent Japanese, who studied in the Ming Dynasty for more than three years, and should always be different from those stupid samurai. Do you really think that if you bypass me and move Vice Governor Li, you will be able to use him as a gunman? In Japan, do you think there is anything you can hide from me? ”

Kosuke Yoshikawa's forehead was tightly attached to the tatami mat in front of him, and the sweat beads on his head flowed on the tatami mat little by little, soaking a small piece of the tatami mat near his head. He himself seemed unaware of this and said, "Your Majesty is indeed speechless, please punish the Governor." But Xiaguan didn't want to use Vice Governor Li as a gunman, but Xiaguan thought that Japan should contribute more strength to the Ming Dynasty in order to civilize faster and expel those barbarians from Asia..."

After listening to Yoshikawa Kosuke's defense, Ye Yuxuan rebuked mercilessly: "Stupid guy, don't you still know the situation? With your little scheming, do you still want to deceive me? You just want to take advantage of the conflict between the Ming and the Netherlands to take back the rights ceded by the treaty from the Dutch.

However, with the current Japan, is it qualified to fall on the chessboard of my Ming Dynasty and the Dutch East India Company? The biggest problem for you Japanese is that you always imagine yourself as a chess player who is just a chess piece. To be honest, if you weren't in my Huaxia Ming circle, the Ming would have no interest in Japan's civilization.

The reason why the Ming Dynasty was interested in Japan's civilization was because the competition between the Ming Dynasty was never something that could be completed by one country or one nation. But if Japan deviates from the role set by His Majesty for Japan, and the existence of Japan is meaningless to my Hua Xia Ming to expand the living space, then the Ming Dynasty may abandon Japan. Yoshikawa, do you understand what I mean? ”

In Ye Yuxuan's fierce words, Yoshikawa's forehead flowed more sweat, and this time even his eyes flowed a lot, although it made him feel itchy and uncomfortable, but Yoshikawa Kosuke still maintained the posture of throwing his five bodies to the ground, and replied to Ye Yuxuan without hesitation: "... Yoshikawa knows that he was wrong, and asks the Lord to give Yoshikawa the honor of seppuku and apologize. ”

Ye Yuxuan looked at him with his chin in his right hand for a long time, and then softened his tone a little and said, "Don't think about seppuku at every turn, that's an excuse for stupid samurai to escape from reality."

You have studied in the country for so long, have you only learned how to dress and eat for our Ming people? If you don't completely expel the Japanese mindset from your mind, how can you truly become a Japanese citizen?

Do you think I called you here so that you could apologize before me? Do you think I have this kind of free time, and spend so much saliva with a dead man?

You like to analyze Japan's internal and external situation so much, why don't you analyze what kind of Japan I really need?

The Ming Dynasty has no interest in Japanese land, all we need is the Japanese population. Of course, what the Ming Dynasty needs is a population that has the same Ming concept as the Ming Dynasty.

Once it is confirmed that Japanese society has reached the level of enlightenment, then everything we build in Japan will be transferred to the new government of Japan. So who is the person who will lead the new government of Japan, I think it should be a representative like you who is proficient in daily chemicals, not those greedy and stupid lords and high-ranking samurai..."

In Ye Yuxuan's narration, Yoshikawa Kosuke suddenly calmed down from fright, and his heart was even more grateful to Ye Yuxuan, and he didn't know how to express his loyalty to the other party.

After teaching Yoshikawa Kosuke, Ye Yuxuan clapped his palms, and suddenly a woman walked into the room with a food plate, and then he said to Yoshikawa Kosuke: "Yesterday was the country's Lantern Festival, but there is no place to eat Lantern Festival in Osaka. So I had someone make red bean rice cake soup, and you can eat a bowl of it too.

After eating, go to the confinement room and report, and I will punish you with three days of grounding. After completing the punishment, you go to Niigata Port to find Vice-Governor Li and take care of the army's logistics for him. When you cross the sea and take Sado Island, I will let you know when that time comes. ”

"Yes, sir. The adult's kindness to the lower officials is unforgettable. I swear to you that I will never dare to hide anything from you in the future..."
