During the reign of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, the bureaucracy headed by Yan Song, the first assistant of the cabinet, wantonly annexed land in the name of "changing rice to mulberry", the people in the south of the Yangtze River were displaced, and the pirates took the opportunity to collude with the Japanese and cause trouble on the southeast coast.

The patriotic generals led by Qi Jiguang LinkedIn bravely resisted the Japanese, but the robbers could never finish killing......

Under the leadership of Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, Jiang Zhou and Chen Ke were sent to be responsible for recruiting Wang Zhi, and Luo Wenlong, a student of the Hanlin Academy, was specially recruited to "tempt" Xu Hai's wife Wang Cuiqiao.

After many operations, Wang was directly recruited to form a fleet through missionaries, and secretly transported his huge wealth accumulated throughout his life to Zhoushan, passing through the waters of the East China Sea, and was actually hijacked by "pirates", which he suspected was Xu Hai's doing.

Xu Hai was indeed very arrogant, refused to accept Zhao'an, led the Japanese to land in Taizhou, and went south from Zhejiang all the way to threaten Fujian......

Suddenly, the unexpected news came, Wang Cuiqiao gave birth to a daughter, Xu Hai couldn't believe it, so he hurriedly returned to Satsuma, Japan, at this time, Wang Zhi came to the door.

Wang Zhi forced Xu Hai to hand over his belongings, but Xu Hai refused to admit it, and the two sides drew their swords and crossbows, and the situation rose again, and the great cause of Zhao'an may be ruined......

In the end, under the persuasion of Wang Cuiqiao, Xu Hai personally went to Ryukyu to deal with the matter, and it was quite strange that he actually let go of the secret fleet and immediately surrendered to the imperial court.

At this point, the pirate group fell apart, Zhao'an was a great success, and the people who were displaced abroad were able to return to China.

Wang Cuiqiao entrusted her young daughter to the Ryukyu eunuch Wang Gonggong, and took out a large amount of money to set up a shochu shop outside Shuri Castle for the resettlement of refugees.

The officers and soldiers surrendered, Xu Hai threw himself into the water and died, Luo Wenlong thought that he had merit and wanted to marry Wang Cuiqiao as his wife, but unexpectedly, on the night of the candles in the cave room, the "bride" was hanged on top of the three-foot white silk.

Wang Zhi lost the "chips" in his hand, and the following year, he was beheaded in Hangzhou.

Years later, when Wang Cuiqiao's daughter became the princess of the Ryukyus, an old man suddenly came to her and brought her mother's relics, which contained a "shocking secret......

It turned out that all of Wang Zhi's possessions were transported to the depths of the ocean, which led to the adventures of pirates from the East and the West......

Yan Song has reached the age of returning to his hometown, and his son Yan Shifan cannot enter the cabinet due to eye disease defects, so in order not to be liquidated, he secretly made a series of preparations, the first of which is to find a famous doctor to treat eye diseases.

Luo Wenlong had ulterior motives, and under his recommendation, he visited Jiangnan to find the famous doctor Xu Yihou, who had obtained the "true legend of the immortals".

Yan Shifan colluded with the Japanese Yizong to rebel on the mainland, and at the instigation of Luo Wenlong, he shipped a large amount of money overseas to support the pirate remnant Lin Wenjun, and there was a great tendency to make a comeback.

The imperial court received a secret report and sent Jinyi Wei to hoe and rape overseas, which led to the story of the first volume of this book.

The histories of different peoples often have striking similarities.

At that time, the West rewrote the course of its history through colonial activities; We Chinese also have extraordinary influence in the "New World"!

Many major events in the Ming Dynasty are by no means as unbearable as the history of the Ming Dynasty that later generations have cultivated.

The three major wars of aid to Korea and the Japanese were all victorious, and missionaries entered Beijing to establish churches, and Eastern and Western civilizations were able to communicate......

Matteo Ricci recorded in the "Notes on China" that the material production here is extremely rich, everything is available, the sugar is whiter than Europe, the cloth is more exquisite than Europe, the people are gorgeously dressed and graceful, and the people are happy, polite, and elegant.

During the Qianlong period, the British envoy Macartney said: China is full of astonishing poverty, many people do not have decent clothes, and the army is dressed in tatters like flowers......

Today, we say that Lin Zexu is "the first person to open his eyes to see the world", in fact, his old man is just the "first person" of the Qing Dynasty, there is no meaning to belittle the ancestors, during the reign of the Manchu Dynasty, Lin Zexu is the backbone of our nation, let us look up to it today.

In the Age of Discovery, which changed the course of history, there were sails of "Tang ships" all over the world......

For the sake of the national righteousness, they have come forward again and again, and they are not even known by name, it is precisely they who have supported the dragon ship of China with flesh and blood, muscles and bones, and sailed proudly in the deep sea of history......

*********************************************************************

Butterflies love flowers

Duckweed chasing dreams to find the end of the world, who pities the lonely shadow, the big waves and the wind sweep the sand, the happy love and hatred are sprinkled with tears, like the overlord flower of the flowing year

Righteousness shakes the world all over the world, crisscrossing the four seas, ink rain writes fragrant flowers, the creation of the world commentary and good stories, and the fate of drinking a cup of tea

**********************************************************************

In the autumn of the forty-third year of Jiajing (1564 AD).

At the southern foot of Qingyuan Mountain in Quanzhou, the morning mist fills the mountain forest, drifting over the roofs of rows of grass houses......

Mornings in the mountain village are exceptionally quiet, and by the clear stream, the buffalo moan their heads down on the dew-soaked grass, sometimes mooing lowly......

The boy waved the bullwhip in his left hand, patted the verdant bushes, and held the scroll in his right hand, and read softly with his head down......

Suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, the young man hurriedly put the scroll into his arms, hid in the col with a nervous expression, and lay down in the jungle to take a closer look.

When the man came to him, he heard the sentry officer at the head ask in a loud voice: "May I ask this descendant, there is a Langzhong named Xu Yihou, does he live nearby?" ā€

The boy shuddered when he heard this, and the scroll in his arms fell to the ground, and he shook his head in a panic.

"I haven't heard of it."

"The stakes are very high, we have searched all over Zhejiang, Jiangxi and other places, I just recently heard that he is practicing medicine in Quanzhou, don't lie to me in your future life, if you delay the major events of the imperial court, you will be beheaded!"

This remark shocked the young man, and even though he had great ability, he did not dare to confront the officers and soldiers, and hurriedly pointed to the mountains in the distance.

"Back to the official, I heard that there is a Lang Zhong who lives near the Shaolin Temple, but I don't know if it is surnamed Xu?"

"Housheng, don't lie to us!"

"Why should I lie to you?"

"Brothers, go, be sure to find Xu Langzhong as soon as possible, before the end of the year, if you can't send him to Beijing, the elder of the pavilion will be angry, we will not have a good year."

The officers and soldiers hurriedly turned their horses' heads and hurried straight to the South Shaolin Temple......

The boy hurriedly picked up the scroll, left the grazing buffalo, and ran to the village in a panic......

He pondered that when he first returned to China, someone with bad intentions had reported his father for treating pirates, causing the father and son to dare not return to their hometown. At this moment, could it be that his father was treated as a pirate remnant again, and the officers and soldiers came to arrest him? The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and suddenly there was wind under his feet......

Outside the ancestral hall at the entrance of the village, there was a private school gentleman with a childish face, who was chatting happily with an old man......

"Xu Langzhong, your Ling'er recites the Four Books and Five Classics fluently, and his articles have also won everyone's praise, which of the children of ten miles and eight villages can compare to him? Now that he has begun to study "The Biography of the Zuo Family in the Spring and Autumn Period" and "Donglai Bo Yi", according to the old man, let him take the children's examination next spring, and he may be able to pass the examination, and he will be able to make good progress in the future, which can be described as a bright future......"

After hearing this, Xu Yi bowed to Mr. Private School......

"Thanks for the compliment, or the gentleman is well taught!"

When the two were courteous to each other, I saw the young man running over in a hurry, and stepped forward to greet Mr. first, and Mr. Private School smiled slightly, and was ready to take him into the ancestral hall to study.

The boy clung to his father and pretended to be as calm as he could......

"Daddy, I'm a little unwell today."

Xu Yi shook off the young man and sank his face......

"Ling'er, I think you want to be cheating and playing tricks again, or you can't change the barbarian customs, and if you don't read the books of sages, how can you be worthy of being a descendant of China?"

Xu Ling'er firmly believes that the officers and soldiers are here to arrest his father, so how can they still have the heart to study? It's inconvenient to explain at the moment, so I pretend to be in pain......

"Sir, I'm really having a hard time today, let me rest for a long time."

"Xu Langzhong, Ling'er is never lazy, seeing that he really has no energy now, let him rest."

Since Mr. also interceded, Xu Yihou was no longer reluctant, and between words, he found that his son had disappeared.

As soon as Xu Ling'er entered the house, she was like crazy and began to pack her things; After a while, Xu Yihou came back, and when he saw this, he was very angry and hurriedly ordered his son to kneel in front of the hall.

Putting down the package, Xu Ling'er lit three incense sticks, respectfully inserted it into the incense burner, bowed to the tablets of the ancestors and Confucius, and then knelt down and continued to beg his father to leave this place quickly.

At this time, Xu Yihou realized the seriousness.

"Ling'er, did you meet the Japanese outside the village?"

Xu Linger didn't want to lie, and she was afraid that telling the truth would scare her father, but when she suddenly saw him raise the ring ruler, she couldn't help it......

"Daddy, we have to get out of here!"

Xu Yihou suspected that there was a Japanese attack, so she dropped the ring ruler and was about to go out, but was stopped by her son.

"Daddy, where are you going?"

"Although the Qi family army has exterminated the Japanese bandits in Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, it is inevitable that there will be remnants of bandits who have slipped through the net, so I have to quickly notify Lizheng and let everyone take precautions as soon as possible."

"There are no pirates."

"And what exactly did you find?"

"I—I want to go back to my hometown with you."

Xu Yihou raised the ring ruler high again, but couldn't help but shed tears.

"The ancestors and the ancestors are on top, Xu is incompetent, he has not been able to be lifted in his life, he has been exiled to the end of the world, and he was plundered to the East by pirates, if it were not for Lord Engonghu to surrender to the head of the Kou, the whole family would have to die tragically at the hands of the Japanese Kou, and now he is back, but he has no face to return to his hometown in Jiangxi, and I only hope that my son can get fame and return to ......his hometown again."

"Daddy, I know everything, and I will never live up to your expectations!"

Throwing the ring ruler on the ground, Xu Yihou stroked her son's bun, and suddenly burst into infinite emotion......

"Son, your mother died tragically overseas, enduring humiliation for her father, and secretly living for her, just to raise you ......"

Just as the father and son were hugging and crying, the door of the house was suddenly pushed open, Xu Ling'er looked back and found that the group of officers and soldiers had arrived at the door, and rushed over with an arrow and stopped them at the door.

"Don't arrest my daddy, my daddy is a good person!"

At this time, Li Zheng trotted all the way to Xu's house......

"Xu Langzhong, good things are coming!"

Xu Ling'er judged that the arrival of officers and soldiers was by no means a good thing.

"Grandpa Lizheng, we're not pirates, so we can't be treated like this."

"Congratulations to Xu Langzhong!" Li Zheng came in, patted Xu Ling'er on the shoulder, and asked, "Did you kid point the official master to the Shaolin Temple?" If you hadn't happened to meet me, hehe, you would have missed the important affairs of the court. ā€

Xu Ling'er looked ignorant and a little overwhelmed.

"Grandpa Lizheng, what's the matter with the officers and soldiers?"

"Of course not you." Li Zheng pointed to the old man in the room and said, "Official, this is the famous Xu Langzhong. ā€

So, the officers and soldiers hurriedly bowed to Xu Yihou, and Xu Ling'er was relieved.

The sentinel stepped forward and clenched his fists, looking very excited......

"Congratulations Xu Langzhong! Please hurry up and take care of the affairs of the family, and set off with us today to the Qijia military camp in Xinghua Mansion. ā€

"Thank you, this official! It is an honor to be able to serve the Qi family's army. ā€

Saying that, Xu Yihou hurriedly returned the salute......

"Don't get me wrong, old man, let's take you to Beijing and replace Li Shizhen, the judge of the Tai Hospital who resigned and returned to his hometown."

Hearing that he was an official in Beijing, Xu Yi became very cautious.

"The little old man is a village man, and he really can't afford it."

"Once the sea was difficult to water, please don't be modest. We are already familiar with your famous legends at home and abroad. Zhao Wenhua, the squire of the Ministry of Works, and the imperial history of Zhejiang supervision, was entrusted by the imperial cabinet to search for famous doctors all over the world, and after some investigation, the list was submitted to the cabinet for review, and after layers of screening, only because of your reputation, and finally became the only candidate who was expected to return. ā€

Rimasa was overjoyed when he heard it......

"Brother, although this place is not your hometown, the villagers treat you as a relative, and in the future, you will be by the side of the saint, don't forget us folks!"

Xu Yihou never expected that a beauty suddenly fell from the sky, and she suddenly felt dizzy, almost fell to the ground, and was supported by Li Zheng and others.

At this time, I heard Li Zheng shouting: "Ling'er, why don't you come to my house to find your aunt, and the whole village will hold a feast to entertain these officials." ā€

Everyone was stunned by this sudden good news, Xu Ling'er obeyed the order, agreed and ran out of the house.

After the news spread, the villagers were busy killing chickens and geese, eating pot pulp, and gathered at Lizheng's house to bless the Xu family and his son.

Xu Yi raised the wine glass and thanked all the villagers, and Xu Linger also accompanied her father to toast the elders, and said goodbye to the teacher with tears.

Mr. Private School was reluctant to give up this disciple, and he had some earnest teachings to him......

After lunch, the officers and soldiers helped to bring their luggage, and under the leadership of Li Zheng, the villagers helped the old and the young to be sent to the ten mile pavilion outside.

Only then did the father and son of the Xu family step on the horse, and from time to time they turned back to say goodbye to the villagers......

A group of people trekked along the way through the mountains and rivers, came to the boundary of Xinghua Prefecture, it was late at this time, it was said that there was a group of Japanese robbers to occupy Pinghaiwei, often came out to loot at night, and then found an inn to stay.
