Engaging in scientific research is very boring, there is nothing to introduce, but after a few months, there is always a loss of results.

When the results are produced, it is the most exciting moment, and this is the fun of all researchers, including Yang Wenli.

For example, various types of ordinary motors, two large and small extruders, etc., each invention is a great event, enough to affect everyone's nerves.

But when the achievements are only in the past, and the future tasks never stop, everyone is happy and over, and they are engaged in the next arduous scientific research task, and there is no time to show off or anything.

On the fifth day of the fifth day of the first month of April, there was a very special Xiyi ship in the waters near Ezo Island, which was actually a third-class battleship Galen ship, in the inaccessible place of Ezo Island, there were several Japanese merchant ships all year round, this unique style and huge Galen ship, the officers and soldiers of the Black Armor Army Naval Division had not seen these soil buns.

"Shoot! Waving the flag and ordering the other party to stop the ship for inspection. The captain put down the telescope in his hand and ordered.

The order was transmitted to the mortar group, and the artillery commander used the telescope's built-in ranging function to give an order to his subordinates: "850 meters in front of the target, a warning bomb, fire!" ”

"Yes......" his artillerymen promised loudly.

Just a warning, he naturally left a safe distance, so there is no need for accurate positioning point data, the warning bomb is a kind of intimidating bomb without steel balls, but the power of explosives has been further enhanced.

"Phew!" About a minute later, about 150 meters in front of the Galen ship, there was a loud noise that shook the sky, splashing a foot or two high, and it was quite powerful.

"Oh! My God, what is it? Since it can be fried in the water, what do I see? It turned out to be an explosive bomb? Not even the West, how could this primitive desert island have such an advanced bomb. ”

"Oh! Captain, the other party asked us to stop the boat, damn it, a small mosquito boat, dared to ask us to stop the boat. ”

While the captain was sighing, the sailor in charge of the lookout reported to him.

"Captain, the other party is a Xiyi gunboat, there are dozens of cannons, we can't go over suddenly, we should send a small boat over to interrogate, if something is wrong, we can strike at them at this best distance." The ship's Japanese sailors advised the captain.

"Hmmm! Just listen to you, come here, and send two people who are familiar with the Xiyi people and the people and sailors to interrogate. ”

"Captain, I'll go alone! When you get to the other party's big ship, two people are no different from one person, and I will ask them to lower their sails, close their guns, wet their fuses, and stop the ship for inspection, otherwise you can immediately order the shelling. The soldier didn't know whether he was bold or wanted to be in a hurry to make meritorious service, so he volunteered to go.

"Hmmm! You be careful, as soon as you see that you can't do anything, come back immediately, and we'll let them know with a cannon. ”

Japan has not closed the country yet, this and the sailors, very familiar with the artillery technology at sea, and at the same time familiar with the Westerners, in comparison, all the Han sailors on the ship are full of soil buns, they are the first time to see the Xiyi people's big ship, there is no way to deal with it.

When the Western-style Galen saw that it was right, it sent a small boat to interrogate, so it stopped and waited there to see what the other party could do.

"Father Sbilano, the other party has sent someone, what should we do?" The captain put down his binoculars and asked the priest beside him.

This ship is from Nagasaki, Japan, responsible for the missionary ship, in recent years Catholic life in Japan has been very difficult, the third general Tokugawa Iemitsu issued three ban on Christianity, Catholicism in Japan can be said to be difficult to move an inch, so Father Sbilano wanted to reopen a missionary field on the island further north, so they waited for the ice and snow to melt and could not wait to go north.

"We are servants of the Lord, and we should not be afraid of the world, but we should be honest and try to convince them in order to gain missionary rights on this great island." The priest drew a cross on his chest with his hand and said with a calm expression.

"Yes, Honorable Father." The captain immediately agreed.

It was a Portuguese merchant ship that came to Japan to trade and was also under the auspices of the Japanese Catholics. The missionary power of the whole of East Asia was in the hands of Portugal, which the King of Portugal personally requested from the Pope on the condition that the Portuguese government and Macao provide financial and military support.

Yuichiro Tanaka, who was in charge of the questioning, climbed aboard the tall Galen ship with the help of Portuguese sailors and asked aloud in Chinese (Mandarin, the Chinese language of the Far Eastern Kingdom): "Which of you is in charge, please come out and reply." (Note: The Portuguese in Macau only understand Cantonese, not Mandarin with a Liaodong accent.) ）

Seeing that no one on the ship could understand, he asked in Japanese: "Which of you is responsible, please come out and reply." ”

"It's me, I'm a faithful disciple of God, my name is Ichiro Yamada, (Note: The missionaries who came to the East all took local names, such as John Tong, who went to China. I want to come to your land to preach, as far as I know, this is the territory of the Matsumae Domain, and I would like to see your family master, so please give me my convenience. Sbillano bowed to him in accordance with Japanese etiquette.

"I'm sorry! Yamada-kun, you are mistaken, two years ago, this was the place of the Far Eastern Kingdom, from the Tsugaru Strait to the north, this vast area is the territory of our Far Eastern Kingdom, if you want to preach, you must get the approval of the government, otherwise please return to Japan! ”

"It doesn't matter which country it is, we have no political aspirations, we just want to spread the gospel of God, please allow us to come to the shore!" Sbillano was pleasantly surprised to hear this, fearing that the Matsumae clan would accept the shogunate's order to forbid them to preach, and now that it would be better to learn that it was an unknown country, he immediately replied with joy.

"Our country does not forbid teaching, but your merchant ships have a strong attack force, and they must be under the control of our army before they are allowed to dock, otherwise you will either turn around, or accept the fierce blow of our army, and the cannon just fired is just a warning."

"Captain, please ......" Sbillano translated Yuichiro Tanaka's words to the captain beside him, wanting to negotiate with him to accept the other party's orders.

When the captain heard this, he jumped up and objected loudly: "How can this be done? I am an honorable captain of the Portuguese Navy, and I will not allow the surrender of force, which is tantamount to surrender and will not be allowed. ”

"Well, I know I can't convince you, please give me a small boat, load up the salutes, gifts and books I brought, and I'll dock alone, it's all right!"

"It's not good! I have an obligation to protect your safety, so I'll put you down here, I'm not going to be able to deal with you! The captain said in embarrassment.

"I can give you a handwritten letter saying that you sent me to Ezo Island, this is always okay! Captain, you have your persistence, but I have more God-given missionary responsibilities, please help me once! I can't thank you enough. ”

"Oh well! I promise you, a sincere believer in God. The captain was so moved by the priest that he reluctantly agreed.

Convincing the captain, Father Sbirano turned to Yuichiro Tanaka and said, "Hello! I have decided to go ashore in a small boat, Mr. Zunzun, and I promise that there are no weapons of destruction, only civilization and books. And this big ship will return to Nagasaki, Japan, do you think? ”

"Good! That's no problem, our country does not prohibit foreigners from entering the country, you are welcome! Yamada-kun. ”
