Chapter Eighty-Eight: Japanese Spies

Although Sun Dayong didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Ji Yan's gourd, it was so good, why did he go to his room to chat with him. Although they have only known each other for more than ten days, they have experienced a lot of things, Sun Dayong knew that Ji Yan was not a treacherous person, so he also replied frankly: "Yes, I still have a son, who is thirteen this year." ”

Ji Yan thought to himself that anyway, there is time to ask about the affairs of Japanese spies, and now the most important thing he lacks is time, so he also opened up and continued to chat with Sun Dayong, which can be regarded as making up for what he should have done before.

Ji Yan smiled and asked with concern: "Thirteen, it's not small, enlightened?" Does he have to inherit your military household? ”

This problem was quite normal in the Ming Dynasty. Because the army of the Ming Dynasty adopted a certain hereditary system, that is, the design of the military household, once the military household entered, it was difficult to break away, unless the family was extinct or made great contributions.

A similar design also appeared in the Qing Dynasty, and the Eight Banners system used by the Manchurians was also a hereditary military household registration in disguise.

The benefits of such a design are obvious, as the hereditary military household can ensure the loyalty and cohesion of the army, which is difficult to maintain in the era of cold weapons. In the early days or the first few generations, the combat effectiveness of such an army is also quite strong, stronger than the ordinary temporary formation of a ragtag army.

A thirteen-year-old boy was about to reach adulthood in ancient times, and it is reasonable to ask if the child is married.

Sun Dayong smiled when he heard this: "Enlightened, he has to inherit my military household, this kid is stronger than me, his skills are good, and his martial arts may not be worse than Captain Mei." ”

Any parent likes to share good things about their children with others.

Ji Yan listened to Sun Dayong's words, and laughed and said: "That dare is good, the tiger father has no dogs, it seems that our Jinyi Wei is about to add a new capable man." I'll have to take a look. ”

Sun Dayong also agreed with a smile on his face, "Definitely, definitely." ”

At this moment, there was a knock at the door, saying that tea had been delivered.

Sun Dayong greeted him, and the shopkeeper carried a tray with a pot of tea and two teacups on it, and slowly walked into the guest room.

Seeing outsiders coming in, Ji Yan and Sun Dayong had a tacit understanding and did not continue to speak, but only watched quietly.

The shopkeeper also knew each other very well, put down his things, and silently walked outside and closed the door.

Ji Yan poured tea for Sun Dayong and himself, ready to change the topic.

After chatting about the family, Ji Yan straightened up and asked, "Old Sun, that night in the woods, what do you think of the Japanese Satsuma Clan spy who was killed by us?" ”

Sun Dayong is such a shrewd person, he naturally understands when he hears this sentence that this is the real purpose of Ji Yan to find himself. He pondered for a moment before he cautiously replied: "First of all, we have to find out whether this matter is the Japanese government, that is, their king, is playing ghosts, or whether it is just the legendary Satsuma clan behind the ghosts." ”

I have to say that Sun Dayong's first sentence is to the point, and this difference is very important.

If the Japanese king Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is playing tricks, then many things may have to be reestimated, such as the effectiveness of Zheng He's magnificent visit to Japan last year, and whether the Japanese will make a comeback when they go to the South Seas and re-intrude on the Ming Dynasty's maritime frontiers.

These are all things to consider.

If it's just that Daimyo Satsuma clan behind the scenes, then what are they trying to do? With such a big deal, can dyeing guide foreign bring them any benefits? This in turn leads to a whole host of collateral problems.

Ji Yan expressed his guess: "I was also present when Lord Zheng made an agreement with Naashikaga Yoshimitsu. Intuitively, I don't think Ashikaga Yoshimitsu wants to be my enemy, so I don't think he's behind it. ”

"In addition, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu did not suddenly want to make friends with my Ming Dynasty, as early as the period of expulsion, he sent an envoy to Beijing, and once received the seal of the king of Japan."

Ji Yan said as he spoke, and Sun Dayong also nodded again and again.

It seems unlikely that this is the case, and both of them have agreed.

Then the most likely thing that remains is that the Satsuma clan is secretly planning all this alone.

Ji Yan pondered for a long time, but finally couldn't understand it, and he asked, "But if the Satsuma clan is behind it, what is their purpose?" What are they doing in a place the size of a small toast, running so far? ”

Sun Dayong also frowned, and said with a wry smile: "I can't think of this either, we know too little about this Satsuma Domain." During my trip to Japan last year, I heard that Mr. Zheng had organized a group of people to go to the Ryukyus and the Satsuma clan to inquire about the Satsuma Newspaper. We all know that he has made great contributions to the Ryukyus. Speaking of the back, Sun Dayong's expression also changed, and he was already full of smiles.

Ji Yan was a little embarrassed by Sun Dayong's compliment, and he smiled modestly: "I'm ashamed, I just made a small contribution, it's not worth mentioning." In life, you don't know what will happen, of course hard work is important, but you also have to consider the course of history. ”

Sun Dayong smiled and didn't say anything more.

After that, there was no more talk, and the two of them drank tea for a while and chatted a few words.

Ji Yan felt that he had been chatting for a long time, so he stood up and said: "Old Sun, you have worked hard before, we will definitely not be able to go out today, you can take a good rest, I won't bother, say goodbye." ”

Sun Dayong gave in and didn't say anything more.

Ji Yan walked out of Sun Dayong's guest room, and he had nothing else to do, so he went back to the second floor directly and came to Mei Yuning's door again.

When I pushed the door, it didn't open.

Ji Yan was a little surprised, and with another effort, he really couldn't push it away.

Ji Yan leaned on the door and whispered into the house: "Why is the door closed?" ”

Mei Yuning's smug laughter came from inside: "Hehe, Ji Gongzi, what's wrong with you?" Oops, I think my waist is healed. ”

Ji Yan was full of black lines, he really didn't expect that he would fall for this little girl's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, no, it wasn't her plan, he was going to the first floor.

Alas, this is really an old sow wearing a bra, one after another.

Ji Yan sat directly at the door and said to the inside: "Don't be skinny, watch me serve you in bed for a while." When the time comes, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

I only heard Mei Yuning slowly walk to the door, and also clinged to the door and said outside: "Ji Gongzi, you can come in first, I can have a good rest tonight." ”

Ji Yan said to Mei Yuning through the door: "Tonight? I don't believe you stay in the house all day. I'd like to see when you get rid of it. ”
