One. Mouth one

Maybe it was because I was moved by Xu Wei's long talk, maybe it was the wide sea that can make people forget all the troubles in the world, and the silence was extremely pleasant for a few days at sea. Most of the time, he chatted with Xu Wei and Qi Jiguang and talked freely, of course, the most talked about was national affairs, especially how to deal with the southern and northern captives and eliminate border troubles.

Xu Wei is very wise, and every amazing word can always be thought-provoking; Qi Jiguang has rich experience and is very familiar with the battlefields of the north and the south, so that the discussion is not divorced from reality. Silence has superb insight and a good view of the overall situation, which ensures the correctness of the direction of the discussion, so that everyone gains a lot.

Especially Xu Wei and Qi Jiguang, the former has not been able to find the direction since he was a junior sergeant, in fact, he is a little confused, but through the conversation in the past few days, he has ignited his yearning for northern Xinjiang. Otherwise, what books and five classics does he read, what township exams will he take, and he will just go straight to the mountains and wilderness?

But Xu Wei's personality is not suitable for the moth camp dog, he likes to be free-spirited, open and close, and in the officialdom of the dojo in the snail mantis shell, he is naturally tied and difficult to open his face. But if you get to the boundless iron-blooded side, it is the right temper. "Since it's right to fight in the south, if there is a chance to go to the frontier to deal with the captives, Lao Tzu can't let it go," Xu Wei thought fiery in his heart.

People are afraid of having no goals, especially for people like him. Once you have a goal, your heart is no longer full of "children's love and heroism, but full of leakage and motivation, and the whole person is full of energy."

Even his poetic style suddenly became impassioned. This is evident in the verses he wrote during this journey. Something like, "If there is a false order, there are recruiters." I also receive silver and ride a horse" "My husband was originally a general, and now I want to join the army to chat!" , and so on, direct, passionate verses that would not have come out of him in the first place.

And Qi Jiguang's situation is similar, the success of the southern resistance has made him gain a huge reputation. But in the midst of the applause of the sky, he also lost motivation and even lost himself in the dirty officialdom. Now he is very grateful for this trip, so that he finally set a new goal, set off again, and continue the high-spirited life" If you think of it, you have to do it, this is the creed of his life, Qi Jixian, immediately trained his subordinates who were a little lax, let them keep them in good condition, and when they returned, they could immediately start the training of the cavalry.

And the silence, which seemed to have gained the least gain, was actually the happiest one, because it solved a problem that had plagued him for a long time, and made him suddenly full of hope for the future.

As a result, the journey of more than ten days passed unconsciously. On this day, the colonel came to report that the fleet had arrived at Chongming Island in Suzhou Prefecture, which was also the residence of Yu Daxian's sailors. Looking at the naval port with many flags from afar, even Qi Jiguang, who had always been calm, showed a relieved expression, and said: "Completely safe, the Qi family army is a tiger on land, not a dragon in the water, he was worried all the way, lest there be a sea raider to attack the fleet, and now that he has arrived at the territory of the Yu family army safely, he can finally rest assured."

Of course, it will take about half an hour to actually arrive.

The fleet was approaching at full speed, and suddenly heard a cannon sound in the distant water village, and after a while, several clippers cleaved out and soon approached. At this time, a larger "ship of navigation" was first introduced. , the yellow flag was slowly raised.

Then there was a sailor in charge of the ship, Qianhu, who said silently: "They told us to stop advancing

As he spoke, a green flag was raised under the yellow flag. Chinohe said silently to the other side sitting on the deck, "Ask which part we are."

"Do as they are told," he ordered in a silent voice, "show them who they are."

So the flotilla slowly stopped advancing, and an apricot-yellow flag was raised on the mast of the lead ship. The other party immediately stopped the encirclement, and a clipper came out of the team and approached, obviously understanding the identity of Shen Mo's Qincha.

This exchange of flags between the two sides is very new to the layman, but it is already an old antique in the Ming army. When Zheng He went to the Western Ocean, because of the huge fleet, there was a need for communication, command, and dispatch between ships and ships, and between sub-fleets; And on the vast sea, how to contact at night? What to do on windy, rainy and foggy days? It's all about solving. Zheng He gave full play to his superb management skills and innovation ability, and equipped the fleet with transportation boats, musical instruments, signals, flags and other equipment.

According to historical records, the fleet "recognized the flag during the day and the lantern at night, and made sure to follow each other in front and back, and held each other on the left and right, so as not to be neglected", which means that during the day, various colored flags and ribbons were hung and waved in an agreed way to form the corresponding flags. At night, lanterns are used to reflect the conditions during the voyage, and when it rains in foggy days with poor visibility, it is equipped with gongs, horns, and screw horns for communication and communication.

The precious legacy left by Zheng He. After sleeping for many years with the Ming Dynasty's strict ban on the sea, it has rediscovered with the reopening of the sea, and although it has been 150 years, it is still the most perfect means of communication.

Yu Jiajun's scouts boarded the ship and confirmed Shen Mo's identity, and several clippers turned around, escorted by Weide, escorting the fleet to Shuizhai. At the same time, the village also got the report, and quickly took action to set up a guard of honor to greet Lord Yushi.

As the silent lead ship slowly sailed into the water, a low and shocking horn sound was heard from the warships lined up on both sides of the waterway, and on each warship, they all stood neatly and wore blue skins

In the sound of passionate military music and the sound of salutes one after another, the silent boat finally docked on the dock, and he saw a group of generals of the Yu family army wearing bright silver mountain armor and blue cloaks on their shoulders, already lined up to wait for his arrival.

When the ship got off the sea, the pedal was lowered, and a team of Jinyi Wei Colonels, who were wearing unicorn armor and holding embroidered spring knives behind their backs, took the lead in getting off the boat, facing the Qinchaza boat and facing a group of naval generals, neatly lined up.

Then, he wore a black gauze warm hat, a black leather coat, and a red cloud brocade official robe. Lord Chincha, who had a peacock pattern on his chest, appeared in front of the eyes of the lieutenant officer.

Under the leadership of a tall general, more than a dozen officers knelt down in unison and said respectfully: "The last general respectfully invites St. Ann!" ”

Shen Mo accepted the salute on behalf of the emperor, and said in a deep voice: "Holy bow, all the generals, please get up." ”

But the generals did not get up. Instead, he continued: "The last general greets the mission. ”

"Hurry up, Silent and kind smile, he stepped off the pedal and stood on the land.

The tall military general who led the way also walked a few steps quickly to Shen Mo, his dark face was glowing with excitement, his eyes were full of joy and excitement, and he said, "Humble words, oh no, Lord Shen, it's you,"

Shen Mo was also very happy, and said with a smile: "Eldest son Yao, I didn't expect it to be me!" It turned out that this tall and burly, loyal general was the eldest son of Yao, who had not been seen for many years, and this unexpected reunion washed away the dark clouds in Shen Mo's chest at once.

I heard that the adjutant general and the Chincha-sama were old acquaintances. the accompanying officials who were still stiff-faced; The local generals who were dealing with official business suddenly narrowed the distance, lost their reserve, and the atmosphere became warm.

"Is Mr. Yu in the camp?" But now is not the time to catch up, Shen Mo introduced his attaché to Yao's eldest son, and then asked with a smile, "Is Mr. Yu in the camp?" ”

"The boss went to Hangzhou". Yao Changzi shook his head and said, "The last general is in charge of this place for the time being

"That's it," Shen Mo originally came from Yu Prison, but now that the main master is not there, he can't sing any drama, and he can't help but be a little disappointed in his heart, but the joy of seeing his eldest son made him quickly adjust his emotions, patted the generous back and said: "The boss is not here, you have to take care of the food!" Yao Dizi grinned: "Tube." Of course tube. As he spoke, he turned sideways and stepped out of the way, "Your Excellency, please go up and send you." ”

Shen Mo smiled: "Please." As he spoke, he picked up Yao Houzi, who was about to follow behind, and walked into the barracks hand in hand with him.

When a distinguished guest came, the camp naturally slaughtered cattle and sheep, and the feast lasted until late in the morning, and it was not over until he was drunk.

Shen Mo and the identity of the eldest son are there, but they haven't drunk much, and they can walk back to the eldest son's residence normally after the banquet is over" Shen Mo didn't go to the upper room that had been arranged, and he had to sleep with the eldest son tonight, and have a quick chat.

When they arrived at the house, a sergeant brought hot water and a white towel and asked Lord Qincha to wash, Yao took the copper basin and ordered, "Go out, just be here for me." Their guards stepped back and closed the door closely.

There are no outsiders in the house, and Shen Mo can take a good look at the good brother he hasn't seen for many years. I saw that his face didn't seem to have changed, but his whole temperament had improved a lot. Standing there like a mountain, his expression was very resolute. His eyes are calm and sharp, and he has thick and neat lips and beards, which is completely a general's demeanor.

Only when his eyes fell on Shen Mo, the knowing smile he showed could connect him with the tall boy who always had a simple smile back then.

In the eyes of the eldest son, isn't silence a shocking change? That precocious and cunning young man, who was already dignified, stood there without anger and self-authority, even if he did not reveal it, with a kind smile on his face, it would make you ashamed of yourself, and unconsciously lowered your head, not daring to look at him.

This kind of momentum, the eldest son only has felt it on the handsome, and the rest, even if it is the head of his own family, he can't give him such a strong feeling.

This feeling lasted until Shen took off his official uniform. Changing into a half-worn green cloth cotton robe is not so strong, and the eldest son smiled: "I was born to be an official, as soon as you put on an official uniform, I didn't dare to speak loudly." ”

Shen Mo took the towel from his hand, soaked it in warm water, and replied with a smile: "I didn't expect that your eldest son Yao also has the problem of respecting clothes first and then respecting people." ”

That's not the eldest son shook his head and said: "You are wearing this official uniform, I wear it like a stolen one, but you put it on, but you immediately make people forget your age, and you don't even dare to breathe." ”

Shen Mo gently put the towel on his face, enjoying the feeling of being warm, and said with a smile: "You are okay, if you put your mountain armor on me, I am afraid that I will directly lose my breath The eldest son has qigong, even if it is cold in the house, he is only wearing single clothes, and he looks very healthy and fit, Shen Mo is incomparable in this life."

Let him interrupt this time, and the strangeness of the brothers because they haven't seen each other for too long has finally disappeared, and they patted each other and became warm again. "One one one small one small one small one small one one small one one small one small one

After washing, two. Each person drilled a quilt and lay on the bed foot to foot, and Shen Mo suddenly smiled: "I heard Shen Jing say, your fifth aunt is too meritorious?" ”

"yes." The eldest son said with pride on his face: "The fifth child is angry, and finally gave birth to a son for me."

"You really wronged the four sisters-in-law

Mo Mo laughed! "You have been out to sea all day, and the rain and dew you have sown are very small" crops are not prosperous. ”

"Alas, I also know this" The eldest son said: "But my father is in a hurry, every once in a while, he will get me a woman, and I haven't said a few words for many times" If it weren't for the fifth child's meritorious service, I would have been able to play two tables of horse hangings. ”

"It's not good to enjoy the blessings of Qi people, right?" If it was before, Shen Mo would have been envious for a long time, but now he sympathizes with his eldest son.

"yes." The eldest son did not hide his silence, and said: "People say that three women are in one play, I didn't know it before, but I didn't know until I married the third child, these girls' hobby is to quarrel, and they can quarrel for a long time for trivial things." It's rare for me to go home, and I can't live in peace for a moment, do you think I won't be affected? said with a wry smile: "It's even worse now, there are two dramas at home, all day long, literary and martial arts and burlesque, chickens and dogs are jumping and barking, so scared that I don't dare to go back." At the mention of the situation at home, the eldest son's face turned green. shook his head again and again: "Anyway, if I complete the task, my father doesn't care about me, or sleep in the barracks." ”

mentioned the bad things in the family, the calm image of the eldest son was completely ruined, and he really became a "hero with shortness of breath." He was very envious and said silently: "You still understand, I have always resolutely refused to let the family put together a drama to delete"

"What's good" in front of the eldest son, he didn't pretend to be silent, and said honestly: "It's all because I was too naïve and talked too hard, and I wanted to add another pair of chopsticks, but I couldn't break my oath, and I didn't get entangled."

"The result?" The eldest son asked.

"As a result," Shen Mo said depressedly: "Zhu Bajie looks in the mirror, he is not a person inside and out." Scratching his head vigorously and said, "Mother, when I think of this, I will be upset" When I came, I was still awkward with your younger siblings. ”

"That's not what I'm talking about you." Once a person lies down, he loses his status and dignity, and the eldest son said with an expression on his face: "I have summed up an experience over the years, even no matter how good a woman is, she can't spoil her, otherwise she will kick her nose in the face" You are too used to being a brother and sister. ”

"Yes, inexperienced," Shen Mo looked at the top of the tent and said: "No wonder Lu You, flowers can explain words and add troubles, Shi can't say the most lovely, it turns out that Fang Weng is a person who has come over." ”

"Look, I'll tell you." The eldest son said: "Brother, although a woman is weak and can't fight, but when you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you send her back to her parents' house, dry for a while, and wait for her to come back obediently, to ensure that there is nothing wrong." ”

"This method has to be different from person to person." Shen Mo shook his head and smiled: "Have you heard the story of Cao Cao and Madam Ding?" ”

"Hmm." The eldest son also read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", so he naturally remembered the lace anecdotes of King Wu of Wei, and said, "You said that your younger brother and sister will be the same as Mrs. Ding?" ”

"That's for sure." Shen closed his eyes as if he was fateful and said, "It's easy to send it back, but don't think about taking it back." ”

"Alas, my younger brother and sister are still a fate, and you can't give up," said the eldest son, "I really sympathize with you." ”

"Hehe, how could I divorce her?" Shen Mo shook his head and smiled: "It is my greatest blessing to be able to marry your brother and sister in this life, in my opinion, she is the best woman in the world." Said with some pride: "Excellent people have tempers, not to mention that I also raised this temper for her, why do you blame others?" ”

"Heh, the net still counted her, and now it's maintained again." The eldest son smiled: "I understand, outsiders can't intervene in the affairs of the two people, and they can't please no matter what they say." He asked, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

"We've been married for seven years, and it's probably itchy," said silently: "It's good if the itch passes."

"It seems that you also have the intention of avoiding the limelight when you go south this time?" The eldest son laughed.

"yes, I can't drive people home, I can always flash people myself, right?" smiled shamelessly: "This world is so good, don't worry about your daughter-in-law running away." ”

"Your requirements are really low," the eldest son said: "I knew that this was the case, you were also like Sanchi, marrying a Japanese girl, that would be much more docile than our Ming women, and I would not make you angry." After all, he was born as a soldier, and the eldest son had no taboos when he spoke, and said: "And listening to Shen Jing, they still have a lot of insignificant advantages, but when I asked him what it was, he didn't say." ”

"Hahaha" Shen Mo laughed when he heard this: "I won't say anything if I kill him." After laughing, he said to the eldest son: "Whether the shoes are comfortable or not, only the feet know." If you want to know, just ask Nanako and ask her to help you talk about a matchmaker. ”

"Good idea" The eldest son was quite moved, but then he lowered his face and said: "No, my father will beat me to death, he hates him to death." "Hey, you're not as good as Shen Jing" Shen Mo held back a laugh: "Do you know how you told my uncle?" ”

"How?"

"He said he was fighting too."

"How?"

He said that if he marries a Japanese woman, there will be a Japanese man who can't find a daughter-in-law, and he will have three or five fewer Japanese dolls. If there are more people like him, marry Japanese women cleanly, and let Japanese men be singles, this will not be three generations. The Japanese were wiped out. ”

I'll surprise you tomorrow, it's a real surprise, (to be continued)
