Chapter 379: Helplessness and Opportunity
Tang Ming laughed, Watanabe Village probably thought that they took the initiative to come over and ask to cooperate with him at this moment, which was to give him help. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoBut does Tang Ming need the help of their Watanabe family? The answer is naturally no, although the grass mustard family cannot be underestimated, Tang Ming's fleet is not dry.
Changing to a more comfortable sitting position, Tang Ming smiled and said, "I think Miss Watanabe made something wrong?" Ever since he killed the elders of the grass mustard family in Luzon, this marquis has never been afraid of their grass mustard family. Also, you have to recognize that the grass mustard family came to attack my Ryukyu Island, which they provoked in advance, and the courtesy is still exchanged, since everyone has hit my doorstep, if I don't return the respect, I will lose face. I don't mind taking out the Mustard family and supporting someone who is willing to replace the Mustard family, of course, this candidate must be willing to surrender to my control. ā
Tang Ming's plan was greatly unexpected by Watanabe Village, and it was also their Watanabe family's miscalculation of Tang Ming's strength, could it be that Tang Ming had another backup on Daming's side? If Zheng He's fleet was taken into account, Watanabe was sure that Tang Ming's performance would be an exaggeration.
And Tang Ming just said that he would support another family to replace the status of the Caoji family in the island country, which would directly affect the status of their Watanabe family. Watanabe Village will never let this kind of thing happen, put away his ridiculous thoughts, Watanabe Village lowered his posture and chuckled: "Then I don't know what Master Hou thinks of our family?" ā
Tang Ming, who seemed to be smiling, grinned: "It doesn't matter which family you want to support, the important thing is that they must be obedient, does Miss Watanabe think your Watanabe family can do this?" ā
Although Watanabe Village has a lot of decision-making power in the family, this is a matter related to the future direction of the family, and she has no power to decide anything in this kind of matter, but she has to report to the patriarch before making a decision. But the matter was urgent, and she didn't seem to have time to report the sudden change to the patriarch.
After thinking about it, Watanabe Village finally tried his best to fight: "Then I wonder if Master Hou can give the village this time?" It is related to the future of the family, and the village has no right to decide anything, so I implore Hou Ye to give the village a little time to go back and explain the situation to the patriarch, and then give Hou Ye an answer after discussion. ā
Tang Ming pondered for a moment, nodded very happily and said, "Master Ben only gives you ten days, counting the time of the return trip, and there are about seven days to consider, I think this should be enough." Ten days later, this marquis will take the fleet to the island country, and then it will be up to you to perform! ā
Watanabe Village reluctantly agreed to Tang Ming's request, and immediately set off with her men to return to the island country overnight. Whether the future of the family is good or bad depends on this time, and Watanabe Village does not pay attention to it.
Sending away Watanabe Village, Tang Ming was indifferent to the upcoming grass mustard family, and returned to his home in a carriage. The three women were still waiting at the door of the small western-style building, and it was not until this moment that Tang Ming's face showed a heartfelt smile. Only at home can he let go of all pretense and become his true self, which is why he loves home.
Bai Xiaolan seemed to have really fallen in love with Tang Ming, giving up her self-esteem and face, and she also began to be a real ordinary woman again, unloading her defenses in her heart. When he saw Tang Ming, he would be shy and surprised, so that the flesh-and-blood Bai Xiaolan was what Tang Ming was looking forward to. Xiao Ding seemed to notice the change in Bai Xiaolan, and the little girl's eyes were full of vigilance, always staring at this woman who might threaten her status in the family.
As soon as Tang Ming returned home, she was always occupied, leaving no chance for Bai Xiaolan. After a night of madness, Tang Ming found that his body seemed to be a little unbearable, and the girl Ding frantically squeezed her physical strength dry, and finally collapsed on Tang Ming's body and fell asleep.
For the sake of his future sexual well-being, Tang Ming had to pick up the body forging method that he had not used for a long time again, and got up early in the morning to run and exercise. Unconsciously running to the camp where the soldiers were stationed, he hesitated for a moment and strode in. The barracks on Ryukyu Island Tang Ming came in for the first time.
The barracks were built by Tang Ming according to the barracks of later generations, including all the facilities in it, and everything became very simple with cement. Even the training ground in the center of the camp was paved with concrete floors, so that it would not affect the drill in rainy days. Now that the resident population of the island has reached more than 20,000 people, and the soldiers are less than 10,000, Tang Ming still lamented that the population is too small.
There were already soldiers practicing on the training ground, Tang Ming didn't bother them, but walked directly to the inside of the barracks, and a temple stood very discordantly inside the barracks. Although the temple is small but very grandly arranged, Tang Ming has already seen the smoke in the temple early this morning.
When I entered the temple, I saw Fei Xin with a serious face, Zhu Yong and Li Ba also learned in a good way, this temple is not dedicated to the Jade Emperor or the Buddha who saves suffering, but I heard that Mazu was invited from Putian, Fujian. Mazu is the god of the sea enshrined in southern Fujian, Tang Ming knew this, and even when Zheng He went to sea, there were statues of Mazu in his fleet.
But in this barracks, there is also a statue of Mazu, which seems to be a bit too much, Tang Ming coughed lightly and said, "Brother Fei, why did you come to offer incense this early in the morning?" ā
Fei Xin was too attentive and didn't notice that Tang Ming was here for a while, and he was stunned for a moment before he replied: "When you start practicing every day in the barracks, you must first come to the Mazu Temple to offer incense, and the Hou Ye doesn't know about this?" ā
This time it was Tang Ming's turn to be stunned, he had never seen such a thing in Nanjing or Jeju Island, how could it be completely changed when he arrived on Ryukyu Island, Tang Ming, who was puzzled, couldn't help but ask: "Where did this matter start?" ā
Fei Xin paused and said, "Doesn't Lord Hou know the customs of southern Fujian?" Because only Moon Port is the only port open to trade in the Ming Dynasty, this Mazu is the most widely trusted sea god in southern Fujian, and every maritime merchant or sea runner has worshiped Mazu, and now it has spread to the entire sea area of the Ming Dynasty. Follow the local customs, how to say that this Ryukyu Island also belongs to the southern Fujian region of the Ming Dynasty. Besides, most of the soldiers we recruit now come from the southern Fujian region, they only believe in Mazu, and my habit also comes from Inspector Zheng, who is less than one-tenth of his old man. ā
"Do as the locals do!"
Tang Ming nodded in understanding, the ignorance of people in this era about the sea, it is understandable to find a spiritual sustenance, faith is also a kind of power, as long as it is positive and has no negative energy, it should be worthy of praise. (To be continued.) )
