"Jin Yiwei"

The two visitors from Beijing introduced by Cao Gang Tian Qiye for Qin Lin were Xiao Chongye and Xie Jie, a pedestrian from the Pedestrian Division, who were going to sail from Hangzhou to Ryukyu.

The Ryukyu Kingdom was later annexed by Japan, and for thousands of years of history, it had been a vassal of the Chugoku Kingdom, bathed in the splendid civilization of the Central Plains.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ordered Zhu Kuan, the captain of the Yu cavalry, to go out to sea to look for overseas exotic customs, and when he went from Amami Island in the north to Yonaguni Island in the south, he saw a pearl-like island floating on the surface of the sea. So he named it a rogue and a fool. When the Tang Dynasty compiled the Book of Sui. In order to avoid the emperor's dragon, the place was renamed Liuqiu. In the period of Zhu Yuanzhang, the place was named Ryukyu, which means glazed jade and pearl balls, and its magnificent and wonderful scenery can be seen.

In addition to the local indigenous islanders, there are also a large number of immigrants from Xijiang and Fujian, and the local people are gentle and respectful and admire the Central Plains culture, are keen to learn Chinese language and Han etiquette, and pay tribute to the Chinese Celestial Empire, and repair from generation to generation......

In the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression that ended not long ago. The Ryukyu Kingdom also assisted the Ming army in suppressing the Japanese at sea, and was a loyal overseas vassal.

The current king of the Ryukyus, known as Prince Aoriyae, died six years ago and was succeeded by Shonaga. Shang Yong sent Zheng Xian, the chief doctor, and others to the court to celebrate the new emperor's accession to the throne, and reported the death of the former king of the Ryukyus, requesting the canonization of the new king, but at that time, the Wanli Emperor had just ascended the throne, and Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the emperor, was busy consolidating his power and implementing the new policy, so he did not respond in time.

So Shang Yong sent Shi Liangcan and the envoy Wei Rong to the court to ask for canonization, this time Hangzhou opened the port, appeased the Wufeng maritime merchants, the imperial court increased its attention to maritime affairs, and sent Hu Kezuo to Xiao Chongye in the matter, and Xie Jie, a pedestrian of the pedestrian department, as the deputy envoy of the canonization, preparing to go to the sea from Hangzhou to Ryukyu to announce the decree.

The two canonized envoys set out from Beijing to Hangzhou, of course, through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and the Cao Gang dealt with them along the way.

Tian Qiye received news in Yangzhou and became interested. Qin Lin has just been dismissed from his post and retained, do the two envoys from Beijing know any inside information? Second, the Cao Gang cooperates with the Wufeng Maritime Merchants, and the affairs of the Ryukyu Kingdom must be of interest to Jin Sakurahime.

So Tian Qiye instructed his subordinates to serve carefully, and after the two envoys arrived in Yangzhou, they invited the local gentry to set up a wine banquet, and accompanied the first-class Qinglou who saw the 24th Bridge to go away, "and gave a heavy gift, and waited until Hangzhou." He introduced Qin Lin and Jin Yingji.

How did he do his job, Qin Lin's heart was like a mirror, so naturally he didn't need to ask the two petty officials. But the East Asian maritime order. Ryukyu was an important part of the process, and he was happy to meet with the two envoys. I would like to see the legendary Ryukyu population in later generations, and these Chinese vassals will be forced to become Japanese imperial subjects, and you can only see the residents of Okinawa Prefecture in Japan. The people of the Ryukyu Kingdom, which was a vassal of China, were no longer visible.

Qin Lin and Jin Yingji were accompanied by Tian Qiye and went to the post house to visit the two envoys.

As soon as he walked to the door, a chemical product official rushed out with a black face, recklessly, and almost bumped into Qin Lin.

The official looked up at everyone, scratched his scalp, and saw that he didn't know anyone, so he arched his hand and said sorry, and hurriedly left, hearing him muttering in his mouth: "Obviously it's just a small Qincha, but I want to make a big Qincha scene, Lao Tzu is doing Qiantang County." is also an official of the emperor's family, how can he grind his teeth with him? In the previous life, he did evil" and knew the county with an outline, and the evil was full of evil. Attached to the provincial capital, honestly!. …

When Qin Lin heard his tone, he knew that it was the Qiantang County Order, and he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

If a county is the seat of the prefecture, it is called an annex. The magistrate is called the first county, because the magistrate and the top boss prefect are in the same city, it is easy to be constrained everywhere, and there are many troubles in the officialdom, so the officialdom jokingly claims that those who have been the first county are all guilty in their previous lives.

If a county is the seat of a provincial capital, it is even more unlucky. Not only is there a prefect on the head, but also a patrol, a political envoy, a probationary envoy, and a commander, and some provinces also have to add governors and governors, and a large number of mothers-in-law are in charge, and the first county is a young daughter-in-law who is alive and well. …,

That Qiantang County went far, Tian Qiye smiled at Qin Lin and Jin Yingji embarrassedly: "Those two envoys have been working for too long as a poor Beijing official, and they always look a little ugly, so they are a little Qincha." The decent pomp and circumstance is almost worse than that of Daqin, and the two of them will be more responsible for it later......

For example, if an official is ordered by the emperor to go out of Beijing to do business, if it is a position such as Langzhong, the official of the six ministries, a special person will handle the special matter. It's called Xiao Qincha, but in fact, there is no great power: the identity of the six Shangshu Shilang and the deputy capital of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Inspection Yuan, who was ordered to go out of the Beijing Dynasty to patrol the hunt, has the right to act cheaply, and is called the Great Qincha, which is the minister of the Qincha in the real sense.

Just looking at the appearance of Qiantang County, you can know that these two envoys inevitably have something to do, and Tian Qiye must have suffered a little idle along the way.

Qin Lin smiled and patted Tian Qiye's shoulder: "Lao Tian has worked hard. These poor Beijing officials have boiled up until they run out of oil. Finally seized the opportunity to let go of the envoy, and his hand must be stretched out extraordinarily, otherwise what will he take after returning to Beijing, buy rice, feed his wife and children? I think that when Lao Huo first arrived in Xinzhou, "I saw the silver, and his eyes were green!" ……

Tian Qiye nodded again and again when he heard this, while Jin Yingji pursed her lips and smiled, secretly thinking to herself about the current majestic Foreman Huo, how did he have a poor and depressed face at the beginning? But it's funny.

Introduced by Tian Qiye, Qin Lin and Jin Yingji met with the two messengers.

Xiao Chongye was about forty years old in the canonization of Hu Kezuo, and his speech was relatively steady, and when he heard Qin Lin talk about going overseas to be responsible for appeasing Yingzhou Tusi, he kept calling it out, "The old-timers teach whether the sea is rough or not, whether there are Japanese invaders and other issues, and it can be seen that he is still a good official."

Xie Jie, the deputy envoy of the pedestrian department, was only in his early thirties, "white skin, with a few sparse beards, at first he saw Qin Lin wearing a flying fish suit of Jinyiwei, and he still had some respect, and when he heard that he was an official who was retained in his position, he became arrogant. The words also became frivolous, and his eyes slipped towards Jin Sakurahime, intentionally or unintentionally.

Xiao Chongye, Qin Lin, and Sister Jin Ying talked about overseas customs and customs, and every time they mentioned it, he took a pencil and carefully recorded it in a small notebook.

Jin Yingji Qi said, "Xiao gave the matter to the Ryukyu, what is the use of remembering these things of Japan, Goryeo, and Franc?" ……

Xiao Chongye said with a smile: "After the lower officials are ready to return to the dynasty and resume their lives." In his spare time, he wrote a book of "Ryukyu Records" and wrote down various overseas affairs for the reference of the government and the opposition. It can not only be famous for future generations, but also for the advancement of officialdom......

Qin Lin and Jin Yingji looked at each other and smiled, this Xiao Zhishi was a keen fame.

Just as he was talking about entering the port, Xie Jie suddenly interjected: "Chief Qin, didn't you just hear that the so-called Yingzhou Chief's lawsuit is actually a Wufeng maritime businessman, you went to sea last time to appease you, and you must have gained a lot of money, right?" ，。

Xiao Chongye immediately pricked up his ears when he heard this, obviously also concerned about this issue.

Qin Lin looked at Jin Yingji and said with a smile: "The silver money is penniless, but I am fortunate to get acquainted with Chief Jin, a strange woman on the sea, so what I got is really unexpected." ”。

Seeing that Jin Yingji was wearing a six-grade official uniform, still graceful and enchanting, and when she spoke, Qiu Bo was tactful and only on Qin Lin alone, Xie Jie was a little sour.

At this time, civil officials are noble, military attaches are cheap, Qin Lin is a grass job, Jin Yingji is a female toast, as a civil official, Xie Jie looks down on them a little, and speaks unscrupulously, somehow suddenly asked: "Chief Jin, I heard that women at sea do not abide by the law of etiquette" The men and women on the sea ship are wanton and romantic, I don't know if the lawsuit of the chief of Yingzhou in your place is like this? ……

Jin Yingji's face turned red when she landed, and she snorted coldly in her nose. Ridiculed each other: "This official has also heard overseas how despicable and shameless the Central Plains scholars are, above the temple." Rotten wood is an official, between His Majesty. Animals eat Lu. I wonder if Mr. Xie has ever been out of the mud without staining? ……

You! Xie Jie didn't expect Jin Yingji to be so powerful, he was so angry that he couldn't say a word, slammed the tea bowl on the table, and brushed his sleeves away.

Xiao Chongye was embarrassed to talk about it, and after a few words of greeting with Qin Lin, he served tea and sent it off.

Tian Qiye made a big fuss and was not interesting, his face was a little uncomfortable, and he said that the two envoys of the Ryukyu Kingdom had a good conversation, and they were more familiar with the situation in their country than Xiao and Xie. It's better to go and see it.

Liang Can and Wei Rong are both literate and martial, they all wear Chinese clothes, and their appearance and conversation are no different from those of the Chinese. If it weren't for Tian Qiye's special explanation, he wouldn't have been able to tell that he was a foreigner at all. …,

The two of them had special respect for Qin Lin and Jin Yingji, calling Qin Lin "Heavenly Commander...... and Jin Yingji was, "Celestial Chief". , I heard that she was the contemporary Wufeng boat owner, and I was more and more in awe.

Qin Lin exchanged pleasantries with them, wondering why the Chinese dialect was so fluent, and the two envoys laughed: "The heavenly generals don't know, our two ancestors are Quanzhou Mansion in Fujian Province and Wenzhou Mansion in Xijiang Province, and they were originally from the Chinese country, and they went to Ryukyu to be an official three generations ago, and they were sent by the king as envoys to the court to ask for the title. We all write Chinese characters and speak Chinese in our family......

From Liang Can and Wei Rong, Qin Lin fully felt the Ryukyuan people's admiration and goodwill for China, and thought of what happened to them in later generations, and secretly sighed.

Looking at these two Ryukyuan people dressed in Chinese clothes and speaking fluent Chinese, Qin Lin nodded, "Nod: This time, you will not be forced to become Okinawans again." The name Okinawa will never appear in history! Ryukyu, you belong to China......

The two envoys heard that he had a connection with Zhang Shoufu in the DPRK, and they admired him more and more, and invited the Wufeng maritime merchants to strengthen their trade with the Ryukyus and jointly resist the Japanese slaves and Franco-humans, who have become more and more rampant on the sea in recent years.

Right in the middle. Qin Lin and Jin Yingji immediately agreed, saying that the Wufeng Maritime Merchants would send people to Ryukyu to meet King Shangyong.

"I didn't expect that there was a heart to plant huāhuā and not open." Unintentionally, he made an agreement with the two envoys of the Ryukyu Kingdom......

Coming out of the post house, Qin Lin and Jin Yingji talked and laughed, "Tian Qiye is also happy."

They never imagined that they would soon meet the two Ryukyu envoys again, and ...... in that unexpected situation! ~！
