The Goto Islands were the first territory acquired overseas by the Ming Dynasty, and Shimazu Tadakyo was temporarily appointed as the governor of Goto. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Ryukyu Naha and Yokohama, Japan, although they are also developed and operated by Daming. But it would be accurate to say that these two port cities were jointly managed by the Ming Dynasty and the Ryukyus, and the Ming Dynasty and Japan respectively.

The Goto archipelago consists of more than 100 islands, 34 of which have a permanent population.

The northern islands of the archipelago are dominated by fishing, while the southern islands are dominated by agriculture, with a total of more than 10,000 fishermen and farmers. After the withdrawal of the samurai of the Hirado Domain, who were in charge of the administration, these fishermen and peasants became the common people of the Ming Dynasty.

After the Ming army took over Goto, most of the people of the various small novels moved to the largest island, Fukue Island, and more than 2,000 people moved to Ukushima.

A large number of ships sent various materials needed for development and construction, and the infrastructure team also sent elite backbones. Sturdy temporary wharves were soon built on Fukue Island and Ukushima Island, and permanent wharves were being built overtime.

One afternoon in late March, the Goto Islands had a clear sea and a clear sky, and the sky was cloudless.

With a "buzzing" air disturbance, a huge silver-white airship flew from the south and flew close to the sky above Ukushima.

Around Ukushima, there are people who fish at sea, who are responsible for building docks, and who work in vegetable fields...... One by one, they all panicked.

"Look, what's that thing in the sky? Will the gods descend to earth? ”

"Wow! That weird thing is down......"

The natives of Ukushima were all panicked, and they watched the huge airship slowly descend on the island, thinking that it was a god descending, and immediately trembled and fell to their knees.

Colorful flags flew in the military field of Ukushima School, and 500 marines, 5,000 recruits of the Korean army, 1,000 political cadre class cadets, and 1,000 Satsuma and Hirado sailors lined up on the playground.

Yoshida Shoin, Takasugi Shinsaku, Katsura Kogoro, and Kusaka Genrui are all in the ranks of the political cadre class students.

Last week, Yoshida Shoin and the four of them traveled to Hirado Port to find a ship to Ukushima.

As a result, I was told that the five islands were important military places of the Ming Dynasty, and idlers were not allowed to enter. If you want to go to Ukushima, you can only enlist in the army, or join the political cadre class.

They came a little later, and the Korean Volunteers had already recruited 5,000 people, and they were no longer recruiting, and only the trainees of the political cadre training course were still being recruited.

The political cadre class is to train administrative officials in preparation for the management of North Korea. The requirements for the political cadre class are relatively high, and the students need to have a rough understanding of Chinese and Chinese characters, so they have not been filled.

Yoshida Shoin and the others discussed, and all four of them signed up for the political cadre class.

Standing in the queue, Jiusaka Xuanrui and the others were a little flustered, saying that they were welcoming the imperial court, could it be that the Ming court also had dealings with the gods in the sky.

Yoshida Shoin is more sophisticated, "Don't panic, this must be a strange skill, Da Ming is the best at it." ”

Wang Wenli and Shimazu Tadakyo stood at the front of the queue like bamboo poles.

Looking at the bodies of the two of them, although the recruits and students were also a little trembling in their hearts, they all stood there straight.

A cheerful welcome song rang out.

The airship slowly landed on the school's military ground, the hatch opened, and Lin Youde and his wife Nanfang Yuzi walked down slowly.

Wang Wenli and Shimazu Tadashi bowed down to greet them.

Lin Youde smiled and bowed, "Lord Admiral, congratulations!" Congratulations! ”

Wang Wenli now holds the official position of Admiral of the Eastern Expedition, commanding the land and water armies of the Korean Expedition.

Matsuura Yao handed over Goto to Daming in the name of his daughter Takehime's dowry.

From the perspective of work convenience, the Executive Committee did not sit in rows, divide the fruits, and engage in seniority. Bai Baoxiang obtained Wang Wenli's consent, and directly gave him Zhu Ji, and let Wang Wenli marry directly in Wudao.

Starting a family is a major event in life.

On behalf of the Executive Committee, Lin Youde made a special trip, first, to congratulate the newlyweds, and second, to inspect the preparations for the expedition to South Korea.

"Thank you for your care!" Wang Wenli smiled and returned the salute with a fist.

He was full of joy, and the Japanese woman was as gentle as water, accustomed to obedience. Running your own ethnographic museum is your right-hand man.

Yuzi in the south followed Lin Youde step by step. Looking at Yuzi's petite Lori, Wang Wenli still thought in his heart, that Zhu Ji is almost like this~!

The Japanese girl in the Edo period was basically a loli type, petite and flat breasts that could skate.

At the end of the welcoming ceremony, under the command of 500 marines, 5,000 recruits and 1,000 cadets were all scattered on the playground, and they continued to train in formation, shouting slogans that shook the sky.

"Let's go! One, one, one, two, one......"

"Take a break, stand upright! Look to the right ......"

Looking at the corner of the school military field, the huge airship, the silver light flashed, and their steps were particularly heroic and powerful.

This is our airship, this is our court

The Ming court is so powerful, the Qin mission is like a god descending from heaven. Originally, there were some half-hearted, but now they have all become brave and brave people.

In a very simple office, Lin Youde had a conversation with Wang Wenli.

"The team's recent focus is on the mainland strategy, and human resources can't provide you with much, but the support of financial and material resources will definitely reassure you."

Lin Youde briefly introduced the situation in Taiwan, and then said, "The plan given to you by the Executive Committee is that the Japanese will govern South Korea and fight poison with poison. ”

"Well, it's not Zhongjiao who is in charge of North Korea, I'll just fight and kill!"

When Wang Wenli saw Lin Youde, it was like seeing his brother, and his mouth began to vomit.

"I told you a long time ago that loyalty is a name. His mission is to communicate the connection between Kyushu and Daming. Lin Youde was a little unhappy, "The governor of North Korea can only be you." ”

"To be a governor? I'm not experienced with that! Wang Wenli said leisurely, "This is a high-ranking official of the second grade!" ”

"Whoever has experience, who has experience!" Lin Youde glared at Wang Wenli, "Is Bai Baoxiang experienced, or am I Lin Youde experienced?" ”

"Deputy Commander Lin, I'll just talk about it casually." Wang Wenli touched his nose, "You also know that we, the basic masses, don't say a few strange words every day, and we feel uncomfortable. ”

The Academy of Natural Sciences, the Academy of Engineering and Technology, the Academy of Military Sciences, and the Academy of Social Sciences have been established, and the cadres who have crossed the academy are at least academicians, high-ranking officials from the second rank."

Lin Youde said angrily, "When you win the whole country, which of you is not a provincial and ministerial-level official, you still think you are dicks one by one." ”

Wang Wenli, Fang Moyu and others said strange things to each other and complained, which was commonplace. Seeing Lin Youde today, he was a little overexcited, and he ended up with a gray nose.

During the Edo period, Japanese engagement ceremonies were called "kuna", and the custom was introduced from China a long time ago.

"Acceptance", the man will send fish and wine to the woman's family, and then, the families of both sides will get together to eat fish and drink wine to celebrate the marriage of the two families. These fish and wine are called "knots", i.e., things that are married.

The day after the Ming Dynasty reached an agreement with Hirado, the "knot" used by Wang Wenli's engagement was sent to Hirado Castle.

On this day, a beautiful white yacht with two snow-white spinnakers slid gracefully into Hirado Port.

This yacht is Wang Wenli's wedding boat, the snow-white and narrow hull is decorated with bamboo branches, colored flags, red cloth, ceremonial lamps and dowry, and the white sail is printed with a big red double happiness.

Shimazu Tadago, dressed in a big red official robe of the Ming Dynasty, with a hundred soldiers wearing big red flying fish suits and carrying foreign guns on their shoulders, walked in front to open the way, and Nanbu Yuko escorted the bride price behind.

Nanbu Ikuko, as the marriage introducer, the wedding celebrant, came to greet the bride on behalf of the man.

White fans, white twine, kelp, dried bonito, shourume, willow bottles, and bride price money were sent to Hirado Castle.

"Lord Zhongjiao, why did you come to welcome the new students in person?!" Hearing the return of his subordinates, Matsuura Yao hurriedly went out to greet Daming's welcoming group.

Shimazu Tadagokyo smiled with a smile on his face, "Hehe, Takehime married into my Daming, symbolizing that Hirado is my good friend and good partner, and symbolizing the everlasting friendship between Daming and Hirado, this is a great joy, how can I not go on a trip in person." ”

The house of the Matsuura Yao family is located in Ninomaru on the south side of Hirado Castle.

When Zhu Ji got up early in the morning, she was surrounded by a group of maids and dressed up with all her hands and feet.

Bald eyebrows, black teeth, an inch thick white ~ powder on the face, and two red suns painted on both sides of the cheeks.

During the Edo period, the traditional bridal costume in Japan was a pure white kimono, a white and maze (しろむく) dress.

The Japanese, like Europeans and Americans, believe that white is the color of the gods, symbolizing "purity and flawlessness", implying that the life of the mother's family is the past life, and the husband's family is the rebirth.

Takehime's hair was pulled up and she wore the huge white hat called "Kakurakure".

The hat covers the bun, with a special meaning of removing the horns, no matter how much temper you have before marriage, you must be virtuous and virtuous after marriage, and the husband is the main husband is the greatest.

is about to marry far away, Zhu Ji is inevitably a little apprehensive in her heart, seeing Nanfang Yuzi walk into the room, a sweet smile bloomed on her snow-white face, "Sister Yuko, you are here!" ”

For the lover who is about to get married, Zhu Ji is still a slurry.

"Sister Yuzi, how big an official was the Admiral of the Ming Dynasty? Is he related to the Ming clan? ”

Facing the curious Takehime, Ikuko thought for a moment and explained as much as she could in a language she could understand, "The Admiral of the Eastern Crusade is like our Japanese daimyō. ”

"Da Ming also has a big name!"

"yes, it's just that they don't call the daimyo." Yuzi thought for a while, "What are the cadres, veterans, and chiefs called, we have 300 daimyo in Japan, and 500 cadres in the Ming Dynasty." ”

Takehime's question is also Matsuura Yao's doubt.

Shimazu Tadakyo told Matsuura Yao that all affairs of the Ming Dynasty were handled by a committee of 500 cadres. The committee meets once a year to comprehensively examine the military and political work of the previous year and approve the work plan for the next year.

Matsuura Yao sighed, "This great name of the Ming Dynasty has so much power." ”

At the noon farewell banquet, Matsuura Yao quietly asked about the airship. In the past few days, this matter has been spreading in and around Hirado Castle, and even Edo Castle has written to inquire about it.

"Airship, this is a real thing, Lord Shang Shulin of the Ministry of Ministers of the Great Ming Dynasty, and Ikuko Nanfang, they are all Ukushima who came by airship."

Shimazu Tadakyo also knew nothing about airships, and he could only explain what he knew slightly, "It is said that this airship is the product of the knowledge of things, and it is the power of science and technology. As long as people have mastered the Tao of 'science and technology', it is not difficult to go to heaven and earth. ”

"Nani!" Songpu Yao was a little surprised, so to speak, the Ming Dynasty is really carried by the heavens, and it is the true son of heaven.

"It's worthy of being Shimazu-sama, although he didn't become the head of the Shimazu family, the five islands appointed by the Ming Kingdom is better than just one Satsuma."

Matsuura Yao nodded convincingly, and sincerely asked Shimazu Tadashi for advice on how to improve the feudal government and enrich the country and strengthen the army.

"Matsuura-sama, do you know why Goto is rich in pirates?" Shimazu did not answer directly, but instead asked Matsuura Yao a question.

"Why?" Matsuura Yao thought for a long time and said a few answers.

"Because money is tempting." Zhongjiao smiled and shook his head.

The five islands are located at the key points of trade between China and Korea, and Japan practices a policy of closing itself off from the rest of the country, and large quantities of materials will inevitably infiltrate through smuggling.

Naturally, pirates came into being.

"Hirado used to be an international trading port, but if it is reopened, it will surely connect the trade between China, Japan, and South Korea and prosper rapidly." The feudal region has abundant finances, so why worry about not being able to train a strong army. ”

Matsuura Yao grimaced, "But, can the shogunate let us open the port?" ”

The Tokugawa shogunate's policy of seclusion and seclusion stipulated that trade relations with foreign countries were only allowed in Nagasaki, and that the objects were limited to China and the Netherlands.

"Closing the country has long existed in name only. Yokohama does it, Kagoshima does it, why can't you Hirado do it! Shimazu Tadahyo said lightly, "'Yoshiman chaotic blood' and 'Tokugawa non-Genji', haven't you heard these words?" ”

The brainwashing rhetoric of the Executive Committee's Political Research Office, Shimazu Tadago's fooling gave Matsuura Yao.

Shimazu Tadakyo hated the shogunate very much, and he hated the entire ruling system of Japan. Determined to devote himself to the Ming Dynasty, he made up his mind that he must come back and regain everything he had lost.

"Yi?? Leather?? There is a cloud in the "Speech", "The Tangwu Revolution follows the sky and responds to the people", and the smashing of the old system of Japan began on Kyushu Island.
