Wang Mumu returned to Ryukyu, and He Xiangu came with him. He Xiangu is the queen, she has left the post of the Empress Dowager of the Great Song Dynasty in Bianjing for many days, she should always go back to Yingmao, fortunately, Wang Mumu He Xiangu provided a shortcut to complement the sea, land and air, and the family visit leave to Luzon two or three times a year can still be guaranteed.

Wang Mumu returned to Ryukyu with the Islamic pirate leader Rose Shark and his three men: the Dancing Shark, the Battle Shark, and the Beauty Shark. Originally, all kinds of pirates from Huxi were arranged in Luzon, but after the strong request of the rose shark, Wang Mumu and the rose shark had a deep talk, but fortunately, Hu Dong was on the side, and the language was no problem, and after more than an hour, Wang Mumu agreed to the request of the rose shark and let him lead a hundred capable men to Ryukyu with him.

Returning to Ryukyu with Wang Mumu was also Xiao Hairui, who, after receiving pirates, ships, treasures, and blister copper from Mai Ba, and after transporting the people and wealth to Luzon in place, knew that Little Helen was in Ryukyu, so he also came to Ryukyu with his fleet.

Hu Dong originally wanted to stay in Luzon to coordinate the relationship between his father and the Eight Immortals, but Wang Mumu said that it was better to let them run in by themselves, so he came back with Hu Sanniang and Hu Taigong.

Everyone returned to the Ryukyus, and after locking the light bulb and tail in the basement, the Hu family, a family of four, hugged and cried, hugged each other, hugged each other, talked and hugged each other for a long time, and Sarafona handed a napkin to the side.

Wang Mumu did not accompany this meeting, this was not ignoring his sister-in-law, it was really Yuwen Rounu who gave him a piece of information sent by Bianshui Lou, which made him very troubled.

The information sent by Bianshuilou said that since the death of the former Emperor Shenzong, the Empress Dowager Gao listened to the government, the new party was suppressed, the old party was sought after, and the wind and clouds in Bianjing City were coming. On this occasion of the contest between the old and the new, we in Bianshuilou followed the instructions of the prince, ignored the story, and paid close attention to the facts. Here I want to report on the affairs of the princess's mansion of Shu, and now the eldest princess's ex-husband Wang Shu has returned to Beijing. This Wang Shu was previously convicted of falling into the rank of Ma Duwei and instructed the Zhaohua army to march to Sima and settle in Junzhou (now Danjiangkou City, Hubei Province), and later moved to Yingzhou (now Fuyang, Anhui). Now, Wang Shu has sneaked back to Bianjing and lived in the princess's mansion of Shu Kingdom. Because when dealing with the grass ghost and the eight women, I, Mai Danglao, also often go to the princess's mansion of Shu Kingdom, so after you left, I have been concerned. My subordinates and I found that Wang Shu had brought a large amount of building materials into the princess's mansion and recruited many craftsmen. According to the inquiry, these craftsmen include plasterers, carpenters, coppersmiths, and blacksmiths, which we do not understand. After carefully observing the layout of the princess's mansion, I felt that the construction had been carried out for many days, but there were no houses and other buildings in the mansion, and a large amount of muck was transported every day. The princess's mansion is not very big, and before, when your prince was there, when we visited, we were already familiar with the layout, so I really don't understand what they are doing.

Mai Dang Lao said that the more quietly you work, the more likely there will be a conspiracy, so I intensified my investigation and investigated the following facts: First, those backbone craftsmen were all brought by Wang Shu from Xiangyang, Hubei. When this Wang Shu first degraded Junzhou, it was about 60 kilometers away from the direction of Xiangyang at 5 o'clock. He was good friends with the king of Xiangyang, and his poems and paintings were paid for each other, and they had close contacts. And the king of Xiangyang here is a clever thing, there is a Chongxiao tower built in the palace, and it is said that the whole building is a big box. Those who don't know the inside story go in, there is no way out, they will definitely die, trap organs, knife mountains and arrow rain, very powerful. Because I saw a large amount of copper and steel entering the construction site, I boldly assumed that this Wang Shu would also be building the second of the Chongxiao Tower? But there are no new high-rise buildings in the princess's mansion, so I can't figure it out!

The second is that since this Wang Shu returned to Beijing, he has been running to the harem from time to time, is it the effect of the mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, it is said that the queen mother likes him quite a lot. Somehow, the Empress Dowager rewarded him with some javelin chain balls, binoculars, kerosene lamps, clocks, foreign film machines, music boxes and other objects that returned from the northwest.

The third is that this matter is the most depressing, that is, the palace spoke, saying, Bianshui Building, you should not hold the country's great utensils when you cook vegetables and rice. Therefore, we want to hand over the cold storage and water pumps that your prince gave us. The recipient is Wang Xu. We want to tell them that this machine is not ours, but it was deposited here by your Mumu Prince. Who knows, they are not reasonable at all, we argued a few words, and then locked us up, but fortunately, after a few days of detention, we were released, and we were not judged or judged, and we were confused.

Fourth, they were looking for sailor officers who had been on duty with Wang Ye and General Guo Kui, and asked them to write down in detail the details of their interactions with Wang Ye.

Fifth, the current princess of Shu Kingdom's mansion, there are strangers coming and going from time to time, suspected to be Hu people, and one of them is like the Yelu ink that the prince said before.

……

What Wang Mumu has been worried about has happened, Wang Mumu has created a lot of new scientific and technological products since the Youth Song Competition, from aircraft carriers, to watches, to sniper bows and crossbows, and so on. Wang Mumu's consistent view is that I can serve you and try not to leak out of objects, even if things flow out, but technology will never flow out. Fortunately, in the past, as long as Wang Mumu was dedicated, as long as he was comfortable, it was okay, as for whether the dedication was thorough, he never asked, basically belonged to the friends who only wanted eggs and chickens. And now, judging from this information, someone is trying to crack Wang Mumu's technology products. Since the cold storage of Bianshuilou is powered by a steam engine, in addition, clocks, sniper bows, nautical instruments, etc. are only some mechanical products. Therefore, for these mechanical items, the new is in the creativity, the new is in the structure, as long as the material and processing technology are solved, it is not difficult to imitate. As for the meat javelin and the chain ball, although it is impossible for the imitator to imitate all his products, it is also possible to imitate the murder weapon that is obviously more advanced than this era. In the 11th century, except for the Song Dynasty, there was no country in Europe, Asia and Africa that could produce black explosives, let alone firearms with actual combat effectiveness. The Europeans used gunpowder and firearms, and after Genghis Khan's westward march was defeated, the military supplies he stole from the Song State were captured by the Westerners, and the other party carefully studied them, so that the apprentices defeated the master, and the tiger ate the cat.

Wang Mumu didn't know if he would be able to stop Jingkang's difficulties in a few decades; I don't know if more than 100 years later, my own crossing can make history avoid the death of the cliff mountain. Wang Mumu thought, the barbarians in the north have made the Song people unfathomable, if my things flow into the hands of these barbarians again, then the Song people will die even more miserably and more. These things were brought to this world by my Wang Mumu, and it is my responsibility to control them, and they can only devote themselves to the cause of justice, and will never allow them to help and abet them.

Wang Mumu estimated that Wang Shu and others were colluding with the Liao people to try to copy and imitate, and Wang Mumu would not allow his things to exist outside of his control, or even hurt himself. Therefore, Wang Mumu decided to go to Bianjing once, destroy those copycat factories, and erase all the traces he left in the Song Kingdom.

Wang Mumu has been in Beijing several times before, and he has always been in accordance with the edict, and he has presented gifts and congratulations to the emperor and the queen mother. This time it was different, no one invited him, on the contrary, in view of his previous use, he wanted to keep a low profile, and he didn't want to enter the palace, so he went quietly and returned quietly; Besides, it is inconvenient to publicize Wang Xu's items if he destroys them. This time it's just to do things, and it's better to be invisible. For this reason, Wang Mumu could not take his own airship and big ship on this trip, and there could not be many people on duty, so after thinking about it, he was ready to get some people by himself, dressed up as Arab businessmen, and brought an Arab song and dance troupe with the team. Two pirate ships were transferred, 70 men per ship, 40 oarsmen, replaced by a number of skilled throwers; 30 people are warriors, and of course now Wang Mumu and other businessmen.

Wang Mumu asked 10 female pirates such as Rose Shark to come out, let the marching band out of 10 people, and then put Hu Sanniang, Hu Erniang, Hu Dong, Xiao Daini, Xiao Xiangni and Little Helen and the four seabirds, a total of 30 people, to form an Arab song and dance troupe. Hu Sanniang said that it was very risky to go to Bianjing, and she had to follow the prince closely no matter what; Hu Dong originally intended that this task could be handed over to her to complete, but how could Wang Mumu do such a thing, in his own house, it was absolutely impossible to ask his woman to take risks, so they were together; Hu Erniang said that she knows a little bit about the construction of institutions, maybe she can help you, and then a family of four, Hu Taigong and Hu Cheng are men, she said a lot of whispers, she can only find Hu Sanniang, she wants to stay with Sanniang a lot; The two little golden cats are both translators, but they are reluctant to Hu Dong, besides, Xiao Dani always has endless things to say to Wang Mumu, and Xiao Channi insisted on going with her because Xiao Hairui was also on duty this time.

Wang Mumu asked Xiao Hairui to pick some 28 people, half of whom were former pirates under Rose Shark, and 30 people together, pretending to be Arab merchants.

Wang Mumu looked at his caravan, because Arab merchants who believed in Islam and their female dependents covered their faces with turbans, especially women, who generally only showed their eyes.

Another reason why Wang Mumu wants to appear as an Arab merchant is because when he can't use an airship, he can only ride a horse. To ride a horse, you have to ride a thousand-mile horse, of course, this time there will be more than one person, and all of them are Arab military horses. Think about it, if you are not an Arab merchant, but everyone rides an Arab horse, wouldn't you be fooling yourself?

Wang Mumu insisted on doing this operation himself, and this operation was different from any previous operation, similar to an assassination, but it was not a killing, it was a destruction. But it appeared in the form of a merchant, so the goods in the cabin and on horseback were mainly the jewels handed over by Huxi this time; The vacated compartments are to be loaded with weapons and horses.

Everything is ready to stop, and it's time to set sail. The eldest princess and Yuwen Rounu have repeatedly taken care of them to be careful, and they must not leave Sanniang for 24 hours, and they must pay attention to safety.

Along the way, Wang Mumu once again emphasized the organization and discipline of the trip, and the team members also strengthened mutual understanding and communication during the journey. All the way and business, covering their heads and covering their faces, even if others point and point, their eyes are bloody, either the big white robe of the male businessman or the big black robe of the singer......

If there is a word, it is long, and if there is no word, it is short. More than 20 days later, the two pirate ships entered the inland river from Lianyungang, crossed the Huai River, the canal, and the Yellow River, and docked at the wharf on the outskirts of Bianjing through Bianshui. Although the ship type and the human form are incompatible with other merchant ships, in this economically developed Great Song Dynasty, where all countries come to the dynasty, the caravans of foreign customs are not unique.

After the monotonous journey, Wang Mumu discussed the Islamic veil and the "Oriental Dance" with the Rose Shark and the Little Golden Cat.

It is well known that in the Islamic world, everywhere there is a Muslim presence, you can see women wearing veils and wearing traditional Islamic attire. The situation varies from country to country, but it is broadly the same.

The wearing of the veil by women is a requirement of Islamic teachings. The Qur'an instructs believing women to "lower their gaze, cover their lower bodies, cover their breasts with a veil, and refrain from revealing jewelry, except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husbands' fathers, or their sons, or their husbands' sons, or their brothers, or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their maids, or their slaves, or their male servants, or their unmanned men, or children who do not understand women's affairs," and "cover their bodies with their outer garments." The scriptures also admonished the wives of the prophets, "Dwell in your houses and do not show off your beauty, as the women of the former days of ignorance did." ”

According to the classical meaning, religious scholars have interpreted the standard of Islamic dress as such that the woman's whole body is covered without revealing or revealing the contours and shapes of the body, and that only the face and hands are naturally exposed. Therefore the most appropriate garment is a voluminous robe, preferably of silk. It is said that the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad wore a silk robe. It is forbidden to wear a belt, as this will cause the chest and hips to bulge and attract the attention of men. A woman's ornamentation should be for her husband only, and not for the sake of being dressed up in a conspicuous and conspicuous manner. Women can have appropriate embellishments and decorations on their clothes, and they can also wear gold, silver, gemstone jewelry, etc., but they cannot choose outfits that are too gaudy or irritating. At the same time, women are forbidden to wear men's clothing, which is contrary to Islamic teachings.

This requirement in Islam is based on the family relationship of Islamic marriage. The relationship between a man and a woman in the Arab era of obscurantism was confined to the stage of sexual relations. Showing off beauty and selling off are commonplace, and adultery is not a great crime. Men can gather wives and find mistresses as they please, and let them bear offspring for themselves. Although this kind of near-* life is inevitably romantic, the looseness of the union between the two sexes, as well as the difficulty in determining the parent-child relationship, and the resulting property division problems, often lead to some disputes and vendettas.

In this regard, Islam first forbade women to show off their beauty, and proposed that both male and female believers should be close to each other and equal on the basis of fear and worship of the one Allah, and work together for the stability and prosperity of society. Society should be built on a pure, stable family. Mutual **** and showing off beauty to both men and women is a shame and a sin that should be confessed to Allah. Adulterous men and women should be severely condemned and punished. While establishing a new type of relationship between men and women, the past phenomenon of unlimited polygamy was restricted, thus establishing the Islamic marriage and family relationship.

Wang Mumu has long been familiar with these, and the problem with Wang Mumu is that in his previous life, he had seen a lot of videos of Arabic dances, especially the world-famous "Oriental Dance" (commonly known as "belly dance") in the Islamic world. Wang Mumu couldn't figure it out. When the Luzon Rose Shark talked to him, he covered a wide range of topics, including mentioning that the women were well versed in belly dancing.

Wang Mumu wants to sort out his thoughts, this time he went to Beijing, the target is Wang Xu, who is good at poetry and painting, singing and dancing, and beautiful women and food. Because he appeared as an Arab merchant this time, a foreigner should not play Chinese poetry and painting. As for dancing and beauties, not to mention Hu Sanniang and the two little golden cats, the rose shark and her subordinates, all with thick eyebrows and big eyes, deep and moving. There is also that belly dance, which can kill almost all the men who can still be called men. The question is, can I switch between canon and belly at will, and turn the channel as often as I like? If I ask you to help, is it difficult for a strong man? Wang Mumu was puzzled and asked the rose shark for advice.

The rose shark replied with a smile, "Lord, when the tambourine sounded, one or more beautifully dressed Arab girls appeared lightly. Stepping barefoot on the ground, his soft arms were relaxed, and he suddenly shook his half-covered abdomen up and down, and swayed the fat and friendless * from side to side. The whole movement came extremely quickly, but it seemed coordinated and stretched, which made people's eyes suddenly light up and make people's hearts tremble. It can win extremely enthusiastic applause, which is the scene of the typical Islamic or Arabic "Oriental dance".

Rose Shark said, Lord Wang, in fact, the title of "Oriental Dance" comes from Europe. Europeans have traditionally been self-centered, referring to the vast adjacent regions of North Africa, West Asia, and even the rest of Asia collectively as the East. However, Oriental dance does not refer to all kinds of dances in the Oriental region, but refers to a special dance that is popular in Egypt, Turkey and other places with twisting the hips and abdomen as the main movements. Oriental dance is the European name for this dance, while the average person simply calls it "belly dance" based on its main parts of movement.

Rose Shark said, Lord Wang, in fact, the real origin of this dance, there are different opinions. Some say that this dance originated at the royal court. It is said that oriental dance originated in ancient Egypt. As early as five or six thousand years ago, Egypt had many forms of dance. Whenever a religious or political ceremony was held, the pharaoh celebrated with his subjects. The court trained some dancers for this purpose.

According to the records left by ancient Egypt, some dancers came from the local area, while others came from the interior of Africa, and the small Pygmies living in the tropical rainforest areas were the largest. According to the extant hand-drawn dance textbooks, these performers can not only dance, but also play tambourine, flute, harp, cymbals and other musical instruments. When dancing, the actress wears earrings and a belly belt, and her body is naked, which is the prototype of oriental dance.

Another is from Turkey. When the Arab Empire was strong and prosperous, the upper echelons of rulers lived in luxury. There were a large number of concubines in the Sultan's harem, some of whom wore half-naked and half-concealed dances for the amusement of the Sultan and his close courtiers. In the name of taking concubines and recruiting servants, some high-ranking officials and wealthy families also kept some female servants in their inner rooms, singing and dancing day and night. As the empire expanded, this dance of the inner palace or inner chamber spread to Egypt and some other parts of West Asia and North Africa, developing into today's Oriental dance. Although the details of these two statements are different, they both affirm that oriental dance originated from the court or inner chamber and was the product of power, serving the emperor and the rich for pleasure.

Rose shark said, Lord Wang, there is also a legend that this dance originated from the folk. It is believed that oriental dance originated from the folk dance of the bordering regions of Europe, Asia and Africa. It is said that the rudiments of oriental dance are closely related to human fertility. Originally, fertility worship was popular in this region, and many peoples had their own goddesses of love and fertility, such as Venus worshipped by the Greeks, Aphrodite worshipped by the Asiatics, and Isis worshipped by the Egyptians. It is generally believed that the reproductive function of the human being is mainly manifested in the female * and abdomen.

In order to ensure fertility, adolescent women always go naked in the boudoir, exercising their abdominal muscles and expanding their *. Over time, the muscles and hips evolved into a dance. After the rise of Islam, this kind of dance, which was practiced only in the boudoir, became a way for Muslim women who rarely went out all day long to entertain themselves and relieve their worries. In Egypt, Turkey and other relatively open Islamic countries, this kind of dance gradually came out of the boudoir and became an indispensable program for religious celebrations, marriage ceremonies, adult circumcision and other activities, and became an art that the common people loved to see.

Rose Shark said, Lord Wang, although there are different theories about the origin of oriental dance, but this dance did originate in the Middle East, and in the long-term development process, it has absorbed the advantages of a variety of ethnic dances from other regions. It is still evident that the rapid rhythm of oriental dance is similar to that of the dances of Central Asia. This may be related to the fact that the early Turks came to Asia Minor from eastern Asia. Around 1500 B.C., some Indian dancers were taken captive to Cairo during a conquest and taught their graceful gestures to Egyptian dancers, adding a touch of softness to the vigorous local dance. The beauty of the combination of rigidity and softness in today's Oriental dance may be formed in this way. The Oriental dancers' exposed tops and tight undergarments are similar to those of the Gypsies who originated in India and came to Europe via the Middle East. And the screams of "Lak" that they make when the dance reaches a high tide are the shouts that are often heard in black African countries.

All this shows that in the Middle East, a land of long-term turmoil, continuous ethnic blending, and frequent cultural exchanges, Oriental dance is formed on the basis of absorbing many ethnic dance elements of the East, and is a unique body art jointly created by various ethnic groups in the East.

Rose Shark said, "Lord Wang, from the foregoing, we can be sure that Oriental dance originated in the Middle East, and was first used as a religious ritual to narrate the cycle of nature and human reproduction, to celebrate the fertility of women, and to celebrate the mystery of life. This would explain why belly dancing is based on abdominal swings and requires bare feet to maintain a connection with the land. This dance form gradually developed into a folk art, and eventually became a unique form of entertainment and performance widely popular in various countries in the Middle East, and is a wonderful flower in the mysterious Arab cultural art garden.

Rose Shark said, "Lord, don't figure it out, in Arabia, a region where Islam is widely believed, women even wear robes and veils when they go to the streets, but they have given birth to such a very seductive dance as the Oriental dance. This strong cultural contrast is partly a testament to the primitive fertility cult. At a time when people no longer believe in the cult of fertility, Oriental dance satisfies men's desire for sexual stimulation and cunningly escapes the constraints of the rules and precepts - people can always make the norms "slack".

Rose Shark said, Lord Wang, as a beautiful body art, the most striking feature of oriental dance is a large number of abdominal movements, which is why it is called "belly dance". Belly dancing uses the rotation of the pelvis, hips, chest and arms, as well as the dazzling crotch swing movements, to create an elegant, sensual and feminine dance language that brings out the feminine beauty of the female body. It is a full-body exercise that allows you to fully move your legs, abdomen, shoulders and neck, thereby improving the elasticity and flexibility of the body. The movement of the arms is very important to express the grace and delicacy of the dancer. It's not just a sport, it also creates a spiritual bond between mind and body. You can be as cheerful and free as butterflies, waves, and flowing water. When you dance, the goddess inside you makes you more graceful, more powerful, and more sexy. It is a dance in which a woman explores herself, an exploration of the body and the inner world.

Rose Shark said that the prince and the Oriental dancers have undergone strict training, so their abdominal muscles have extraordinary control, shaking and retracting, and moving freely. The dance costume also deliberately bare the abdomen in large areas to highlight the movements of the abdomen, in addition to the dance also added a large swing of the crotch movements and provocative expressions, full of heat, but the Oriental dance is by no means an unreserved hot * dance, its allure is controlled, warm and there is no lack of soft dancing. Oriental dance in the world of Islamic religion forms a unique cultural landscape, like an oasis in the boundless desert.

Rose Shark said, Lord Wang, the Oriental dance of North Africa and Egypt in the Arab world is the most famous and representative. It's restrained, elegant, and often contains some ballet movements. It places a lot of emphasis on muscle control and has a relatively small range of movements.

The Turkish Oriental Dance, which is completely different from this style, has large movements and is gorgeous and unrestrained. Jumping and crotch movements are very common. Turkish dancers usually wear very little, but this is not a requirement for this style.

As for the Lebanese Oriental Dance, it is a genre of belly dance that sits between Egyptian and Turkish styles.
