Chapter 37: The Night Banquet of the Hirado Daimyo
"Yes, we don't know why it's like this, in our legends, our emperors are all from you, and they all say that your Qin Shi Huang sent people to ask for immortals to come to the three islands on the sea, and those islands are our Dongying Island, it is said that Xu Fu did not leave when he came, he became the first emperor of Dongying, and the three thousand boys and girls he brought also intermarried with the natives of Dongying, and it became what our Dongying people are now." Yamamoto said,
Zhu Houzhao saw Yamamoto's round and short appearance, and thought to himself, you must be a local with more genetics.
But he can't laugh, because there's nothing funny about these things, facts are facts, that's the truth,
"I'll tell you something quietly, don't tell anyone else, I once accidentally knew that in His Majesty's treasure storehouse, there is actually a lot of evidence that he is a descendant of Xu Fu, but they never take it out." Yamamoto said,
"Ahh Zhu Houzhao asked in surprise, "Really." ”
"It should be true, but no one has seen it in person, but most of this is true, don't spread the word, Mingzi should have heard something similar." Yamamoto said,
"Well, these things, anyway, everyone is saying that it should be true that my Dongying people and the Central Plains people are actually of the same race and the same race." Akiko said,
"Yes, I don't understand why it has become like this in contemporary times, the books I have read, saying that in the Tang Dynasty, we Dongying people often went to the Central Plains, and we were rewarded by the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and it was also during the Song Dynasty, in short, in addition to the chaos in the Central Plains, we all have a lot of contacts, and we are friendly with each other, I don't understand why this is happening, but I still studied some reasons." Yamamoto said,
"What's the reason?" Zhu Houzhao asked,
"Although I'm reckless, I also like people who want to ask questions, otherwise I wouldn't be able to achieve the position of a daimyo, right?" Yamamoto said,
"Brother Yamamoto sees things very thoroughly, and the East admires it." Zhu Houzhao said,
"Hehe, Dongfang brothers don't have to praise me, Dongying is contemptible, it's really not worth mentioning, but I actually know some reasons for the current predicament, that is, the crux originated in the Yuan Dynasty, you think about it, before the Yuan Dynasty, how much we admired the culture of your Central Plains, we imitated your things everywhere, from all aspects, it was quite worship, but a Mongolian came out and destroyed you, you see, what we worship the most was destroyed, you don't know how sad it will be for us, I feel that the idol collapsed all of a sudden, We were weeping at that time, not only us, Goryeo, Annam, everyone was weeping. Yamamoto said,
Zhu Houzhao groaned, he knew that what Yamamoto said was the truth,
"When the Song Dynasty died, we felt that the thousands of years of culture in the Central Plains were going to be wiped out by these barbarians, we felt that such a good culture was going to be gone, we took on the task of revitalizing the Central Plains culture, we felt that the most complete culture of the Central Plains was in our Dongying, and then, the Mongols were known as the Great Yuan, this Great Yuan, it looks powerful, and the most important thing, they want to conquer us, want to conquer our Dongying, we are all over the country, that is fear, people are panicking, but in the end, we actually won, The mighty Mongols lost at our hands, and they lost twice, and you know how much confidence this victory gave me. Yamamoto said,
"That's huge, and you think you've won the most powerful army in the world." Zhu Houzhao said,
"Yes, so we are full of confidence in the whole country, and this has lasted for many years, and you have driven the Mongols away, but after you drove them away, at the beginning did not show the appearance of the heyday of the year, but your founding Taizu asked us to pay tribute everywhere, at that time we were also chaotic here, and the princes of all of us were in a mess, and one of our princes received this request for us to pay tribute, and he replied directly, and directly said that the most powerful Central Plains has disappeared, and we don't admire the current Central Plains, So don't pay tribute,
Now your Taizu is angry, and then he will stipulate that he will not associate with us, and you have also announced a sea ban, so the two sides are like this. Yamamoto said,
Zhu Houzhao has also studied this history, and when he listens to Yamamoto thinking about it at the moment, he also has mixed feelings in his heart.
"So some of our homeless people here later, envy your prosperity, go to your place to grab things, but also because of envy of your current prosperity, if it has been normal communication, it is estimated that there will not be such a situation, but the current crux does not seem to have a way to solve." Yamamoto said,
Damn, envy our prosperity and come to rob and kill, one day you are prosperous and we will rob and kill people, it's just robber logic, but Zhu Houzhao didn't bother to say this to him, because Zhu Houzhao knew that he didn't say it, the other party was ingrained in his heart for some years, and it was difficult to eliminate.
"There will be a way, come to Daimyo Yamamoto, thank you for the wine and food, come and let us continue to eat and drink, this is the most important thing." Zhu Houzhao raised the wine and toasted Yamamoto,
"Haha, Brother Dongfang is polite, come, drink, this is our Dongying's sake, drink more." Yamamoto said,
"Okay, it's delicious." Zhu Houzhao drank all the wine in the cup,
He knows that there is a long way to go, and the relationship between Dongying and Daming is estimated to have some twists and turns, but after all, someone still needs to be reasonable, and one day it will be clear.
Since the two sides are of the same species and the same ancestry, and they are so close to each other, it is difficult to be able to only make trouble like this forever.
Zhu Houzhao remembered that Zheng He went to the West when he became an ancestor, so many Western monarchs could admire the Tianwei of the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, and many kings still lived in the Ming Dynasty, not to mention this Dongying,
This meal has been eaten for a long time, basically the guests and hosts are happy, Zhu Hou took care of the daimyo, knowing that this is a speculator, everyone ganged up to go to the Central Plains to loot, he also organized people to go, if the Ming Dynasty cracked down hard, so that the people who came came and did not come back, he would also give up and converge,
This is probably the nature of many people in Dongying, but how did this character come about, Xu Fu should not have taught it like this when he crossed to the east, that is, when the Central Plains was strong, Dongying followed like a concubine, and when the Central Plains was in turmoil, they plundered like thieves to get some benefits.
Zhu Houzhao shook his head,
"Drink, drink, come and come." Yamamoto diligently persuaded him to drink, Zhu Houzhao also drank hard, and Mu Lan and Feng Zhongyan, who were drinking, quietly signaled him a few times, but he didn't know it.
When the banquet ended, Zhu Houzhao was also drunk, and only Feng Zhongyan and Mu Lan supported him.
"Take good care of Brother Dongfang, and take Brother Dongfang to sleep in the next room." Yamamoto Daimyo said with a smile, this is the last sentence of Yamamoto that night that Zhu Houzhao remembered after being drunk,
This is the post house, and Yamamoto invited everyone to eat in the living room of the post house.
When Zhu Houzhao lay down, he was already very dizzy.
When he was drunk, he kept dreaming, dreaming a lot, dreaming about the Qin Dynasty for a while, dreaming about fighting in the grassland, and dreaming of the era when there were tall houses everywhere hundreds of years later,
All kinds of entanglements in dreams,
