Chapter 160: Mountains of Gold and Silver

When the monk saw Zheng Guofan, he was sitting in the upper seat of the hall, with a finely woven Persian blanket on the floor, and two low tables next to him, on which were placed cakes and wines from the Southern Barbarians, as well as some fruits that he could not see. And the little old man of the kingdom wore a loose brocade robe, with loose sleeves and a jade crown on his head, and leaned on the arms of a black-skinned woman kneeling on the ground.

Beside her, a black woman dressed in the same way, also tall and long-legged, with bare arms and feet, was carefully holding a handful of things as wide as a duck's beak, and put a few steaming hot things on the low table next to her into a transparent shallow glass, and then poured the wine bottle, and poured half a light glass of red wine.

The one who brought Huiqiong from Anguo Temple was the right soldier Wei Juren, and the obedient official had a good impression of the leader of the ninja army who was in Fusang when Emperor Jianwen was in exile, for no other reason, this guy can speak the official dialect of Beizhili, although with several generations of settling in Fusang, he said that the official language is inevitably awkward, but compared to letting the good official talk to others in Fusang dialect, this is naturally different, so he has to look at him differently.

"Brother Kikuto." The obedient official beckoned to him, and motioned to Bao Yiman to hand him a glass of wine, and the right soldier Wei Juren hurriedly prostrated on the ground, even saying that he didn't dare, like him, the leader of the ninja army, speaking of which, it seems that protecting the personal safety of the lord to inquire about the news of the lord, should be the most intimate person of the lord, just like the brocade guard of the Ming Dynasty. But in fact, if you talk about ninjas, the famous Hattori Hanzo has served Tokugawa Ieyasu all his life can be described as a high degree of hard work, if it weren't for Hanzo, maybe the big turtle Ieyasu would have hung up a long time ago, but Hattori Hanzo until he died, it was just 8,000 stones, which was compared with his identity as a retainer of the Tokugawa family tree and one of the sixteen generals of Tokugawa, and he personally saved Ieyasu's life, which is really not a fart.

For example, the right soldier Wei Juren, he understands the Ming dialect, but the first time Zhongli met Father Thor, Daddy would rather rely on two people to write Chinese characters to each other than ask the leader of his ninja army to come over as a translator, which can be imagined The low status of ninjas.

Therefore, when the good official gave him a glass of wine, he was really scared, and felt that he had done something wrong? Look at him prostrate on the ground, the obedient official can't help but laugh, this is like what is said in the "Spring and Autumn Period" [Yi Di into China, then China, China into Yi Di, then Yi Di], if this chrysanthemum brother from the bloodline, it is said that it should be the Ming people, the world bloodline is basically about the patrilineal bloodline, if the matrilineal bloodline, such as Tubo, generations to accept the Tang Dynasty concubine Ma Duwei and the title of the king of Xihai County, can it be said that they are Han people.

Therefore, from the patrilineal lineage, the right soldier Wei Juren should be considered a Ming person, but in fact, I am afraid that even he himself feels that he is a Fuso person.

"Brother Juren, don't panic, we should actually be considered fellow villagers, your ancestors are from Gyeonggi in Shuntianfu, and my Zheng family goes back several generations, and they are all from Shuntianfu, aren't we fellow villagers." This guy has the ability, but he doesn't have the background, and if he cultivates it, he will be able to use it handily in the future, and like Cheng Ruicheng Baihu who came with Xiao Douzi, does he dare to use it? The first generation of Jinyi guards in the family was ordered by Concubine De to protect you, but who knows what is going on in the dark! After all, this is a well-known organization that once grinded out cocoons in the ears of the good officials.

Therefore, he is not very close to that Cheng Ruicheng Baihu, but he is sincere to the right soldier Wei Juren.

Hearing this, the right soldier Juren looked up at the obedient official and smiled at himself, and then touched the ground with his forehead and gave a deep salute, and then took the wine cup in Bao Yiman's hand, only to see that the wine cup was as clear as water, but the wine in it was as red as blood, and there was an ice fish the size of a little finger belly in the wine, he was excited, and his hand trembled slightly, and the ice fish collided with the wall of the wine cup in the wine cup, making a slight crisp sound.

The obedient official then snorted, signaling to the monk a cup, Bao Yiman listened to the words of the little master, smiled and picked up a lamp from the low table, pulled one hand at the crook of his knee, and stood up slightly, her figure was measured, and the next life was more than one meter eight, such as the turtle of Huiqiong of Anguo Temple, at most only more than one meter sixty, and sat on the ground, looking at such a tall woman condescendingly handed over the wine cup, the look on her face was extremely wonderful.

Using these two people to serve by his side is really the bad taste of the good official, at this time, most of the people are not as high as Belhoe and Bao Yiman, so it is very coercive, and the good official is naturally secretly happy.

Bao Yiman's gorgeous cloud brocade became more and more dazzling in front of him, and the monk didn't even dare to look at it more, at this time he had to admit that the demeanor of the lord of the kingdom was not comparable to that of a small country in Fusang, and under the signal of the obedient official, he was also a little unconvinced, and he lowered his head and took a sip of wine, and suddenly felt that it was cold and shocking, and the spirit of the spirit fought a cold war, and looked down, only to find that the wine cup was a tail of ice fish.

He couldn't help but say, "Is this your hospitality?" If all the adults of the Ming Kingdom are like Your Excellency, the little monk would like to say that the Ming Kingdom is not enough. ”

The obedient official sat on the top and leaned on Bellery's arms and smiled, took a sip of the wine cup himself, and then handed the wine cup to the side, sat up straight, and Bellery immediately took the wine cup and put it on the low table next to him.

"Monk, I treat you as a guest, but you are an illiterate." The obedient official naturally had to laugh at Huiqiong of Anguo Temple first, and only then could he take advantage of the people, "Do you know what kind of clothes my slave girl is wearing, it was worn by the princess of the Kingdom of Egypt three thousand years ago, I treat you as a princely courtesy, but you don't know the goods, it's really embarrassing!" ”

Anguo Temple Huiqiong was frightened by this sentence three thousand years ago, and suddenly his face turned red, and he was speechless, human beings always worship the ancient civilization, even in later generations, only more than two hundred years of history of the Citigroup country will also be amazed at the porcelain more than a thousand years ago, this is the natural yearning of human beings for the ancient civilization, and although Fusang claims to have a history of how many years, but everyone knows that if the Yamatai Queen period who ruled the country with the power of religion is also history, Taking this as a standard, then the history of China must at least be extended upwards for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

In fact, this can't blame the monk for not being knowledgeable, eating hot wine in winter in this era is in line with the way of health preservation, he put ice cubes in the wine, not to mention the Fusang monk, even in the Ming Kingdom, I'm afraid there are few people who are used to drinking.

He took the lead and frightened the monk, and the right soldier Wei Juren held the wine cup in both hands, and couldn't help but feel that his eyes were astringent, he hadn't enjoyed such treatment!

If you say that the wealth of this era is nothing more than people piled up, such as when Zhang Juzheng was the elder of the pavilion, there were twenty-four people carrying a large sedan chair, in the sedan chair to eat, drink, Lasa and sleep in the sedan chair, there is no shortage of everything, and even the sedan chair has a garden corridor in it, like this sedan chair, breaking the head of the Fusang people, they can't imagine how it is so magnificent, and the Fusang people's own sedan chair, a ten-year-old child standing up has to exceed the height of the sedan chair, can only curl up and sit in it, I am afraid it has nothing to do with the word comfortable.

Therefore, the Fusang people themselves are also very unconfident, and the obedient officials put on such a rich and noble posture, a mouth is a certain kingdom three thousand years ago, the monk was naturally frightened and had nothing to say, his stomach of poetry and books is not fake, and he can even stammer, but this era is nothing more than to rely on the description of the classics to infer the grand occasion of the ancestors, the number of years is a little old, then it can only rely on imagination, just like the Ming and Qing dynasties wrote the story of the Song Dynasty, he also wrote the two mansions of Shuntian and Yingtian, and he also mentioned the north and south of Zhili, But the Shuntian Mansion from the Song Dynasty should be Tianfu and the South Zhili and the North Zhili!

Therefore, the historical novels written by the Ming people can only be called the golden world, which is no different from the eight-o'clock historical romance dramas of the later generations, but it is also valuable. It turned out that in the 21st century, it was monogamous at that time, just like "The Golden Bottle of Plum" was clearly written as a story of the Song Dynasty, but later generations used the Golden Bottle Plum to study the market life of the Ming Dynasty.

Maybe in another five hundred years, future generations can only study the human style at that time from "Huanzhu Gege", and see Ziwei and say [She said that you look at the snow together, look at the stars and look at the moon, and talk about the philosophy of life from poetry and songs...... I haven't watched the snow with you, watched the stars and watched the moon, from the poems and songs to the philosophy of life], future generations will definitely suddenly realize, it turns out that people spoke in this tone at that time!

As for the old Yan Shifan of the small pavilion, when it was winter, there was a row of [***] women standing behind him, and the meat screen was called a meat screen, after all, it was still inferior, and it was not against such a means as a good official, where was the meat screen with the Egyptian princess by her side to serve and have face.

Therefore, the obedient official's mouth is three thousand years ago, this is indeed very preemptive, the monk feels that he does not have the ability to discuss with the person in front of him how three thousand years ago, I want to say that he is nonsense! But I didn't dare.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty and Fusang had frequent trades, in fact, the words written by the obedient official had already fallen to Fusang, and the obedient official was not like the Ming Dynasty scholars who wrote a book to cover up, he was very calm that he was a Yusan person, so before the monk came, he had studied this very much, and he felt that he could write such a story, I am afraid that there is really some [born to know] taste.

Seeing that the monk couldn't speak, the obedient official smiled slightly, and next to him, Behrey brought the wine cup again, he took it in his hand, took a sip, and then said slowly: "Monk, why did you come to Kyushu Island from the west?" ”

Asked by him like this, Ankokuji Huiqiong suddenly sat up straight, straightened his chest and said: "My lord heard that Your Excellency sent troops to attack Ogura Castle, so let the little monk come to ask, the Maori family and the Otomo family are now allies, why did they attack my Maori family city without permission?" ”

The obedient official pretended to stammer, "Ogura Castle? Then he gently patted his head, "Aha! I remember, Ogura Castle, it's not a big deal, if you want it, just take it back. ”

The expression on Ankokuji Huiqiong's face suddenly froze, and she couldn't help but sarcastically say: "Now that Ono and Izumimori-samaru are recruiting troops and horses in Ogura Castle, can it be understood that the adults agree that our Maori family will send an army to expropriate Ogura Castle?" ”

These words are a bit threatening, but the good official is not afraid of threats now, his biggest reliance is the ironclad ship, which can be attacked and defended, and Fusang is an island country, there is no strategic depth at all, for the ironclad ship, it is really a landing port almost everywhere, what is he afraid of? Just like Tachibana Michiyuki persuaded him, as long as Fusang has a port, it should be his Zheng Guofan's territory.

So the good official didn't care, "That's okay!" Anyway, the ironclad ships under my command have been a little bored lately. The hidden meaning of his words is, you take it back, and as soon as I turn my face, the ironclad ship will come back.

Anguo Temple Huiqiong almost scolded, this ...... This...... I've never seen such a lazy big man, but I don't even want face.

Fusang is sometimes called the Buddha country on the ground, and the power of the monk is very great, so almost no one dares to snub the monk, but the obedient official is not birding him, not to mention that in the Ming Dynasty, the monk is not so loud, and it is not uncommon to point to the monk and scold the thief, so the biggest reliance of Huiqiong in Anguo Temple is useless.

Seeing that the monk was so angry that his nostrils were about to puff, the obedient official smiled slightly, and said: "Monk, I will teach you to be a good man, the so-called hair is white from now on, and the flowers are red last year." I don't need to teach you the origin of this poem! ”

Anguo Temple Huiqiong was stunned for a moment, this poem is written by the law eye Wenyi, it is said to be written to the king of Xiao Tang at that time, which means to persuade him not to be nostalgic for the rich and powerful, the world is no longer your Li family, it is better to retreat bravely and practice Buddhism diligently, this poem is also suitable for today's Maori family, since the Maori Yuan, who is known as the world's first wise general, died, the Maori family has lost its vitality, and the turtle is not moving in the western country, and there is no ability to conquer other countries at all, and the alliance between the Maori family and Yushiba Hideyoshi is also out of this psychology, To the west of my house there is the Matsuura Party, to the south and the Otomo family and the Chosamune family are not to deal with, and to the east, although Lord Oda Ukfu died, the huge inheritance of 8 million stone left behind was inherited by Hashiba Hideyoshi, so since my Mori family can't be a person of the world, then I should be a person next to the people of the world!

And the good official also coveted the Maori family, you know, there is a very famous place on the territory of the Maori family, Iwami Silver Mountain, which is also a world-class silver mine on the earth at that time, do you think he can not covet it!

And why was he going to land from Kanesaki to support Shibata Katsuie? It's not just because of Aichi and Chacha, Ah Chu and Koto, but the key is that there is a very famous place in Echigo, Sado Kaneyama, this gold mine will be mined until 1989, and it would be stupid if you don't want to occupy such a place.

For example, Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin have been fighting for so many years, to put it bluntly, it is not Jinshan who supports the two, there is Koshu Jinshan on the territory of the Takeda family, and although Sado Jinshan is a remote island, it is the territory of the Uesugi family, which is the real reason why the two major cattle known as Fuso and the Warring States of Fuso are so bullish, and in the late Fuso Warring States period, the one-eyed dragon Date Masamune dared to provoke Toyotomi Hideyoshi's real confidence, and it was also because of Oshu Jinshan, with Jinshan, he dared to make a horse iron artillery team called the dragoon.

Let's look at some of the other powerful masters, the Suruga Imagawa family has Fuji Gold Mountain, Abe Gold Mountain, and the Odawara Hojo family also has Izu Gold Mountain, although gold and silver are not the circulation currency of Fuso, and they cannot replace the food stomach, but gold and silver as a luxury, serving the imperial court, rewarding the ministers, these are all very powerful, as the so-called, there must be brave men under the heavy reward.

Once you can take Iwami Silver Mountain and Sado Gold Mountain under your command, the good official can be called a rich country, and when the time comes, if you want to build an ironclad ship, you can build an ironclad ship, and it doesn't matter if you build one and throw one away.

The obedient official was thinking about this mountain of gold and silver, and Huiqiong of Anguo Temple was very inward-looking, "My lord, are you going to declare war with my Maori family?" My Maori family has dominated the western country for decades since the third year of Daiei, and it is not comparable to the Matsuura Party. "But I was really panicked in my heart, you must know that the Maori family is bordered by the sea on three sides, if you really annoy this adult, I am afraid that the Maori family will suddenly be ruined!

Intruders and defenders are different after all, just like the monkey Sun in Journey to the West, at first he was lawless, who was arrested and who was killed, but when he himself was disciplined, he immediately shrank back and no longer had the taste of Monkey King, and the obedient official is now the time of lawlessness, anyway, it is not in the Ming Dynasty, how to toss and come, if this is in the country, he will never dare, for example, he will be the governor of Zhejiang, and when the governor of Fujian does not listen to him, can he directly use the ironclad boat to talk to the governor of Fujian? Obviously impossible, but in Fusang, whoever is disobedient, I will use the ironclad ship to talk to you, no matter how great your ability is, you will have nothing to do when you encounter the ironclad ship.

Of course, if you pour the power of Fusang into the whole country, the obedient officials are not so arrogant, after all, there are only thirty ships in their hands, but isn't Fusang now the Warring States, dozens or hundreds of daimyos! Let them unite, it's a dream.

Therefore, the obedient official is alone against the Maori family, and I will not come to occupy your territory, I will disturb you along the coastline, and you will never have a time, this tactic is also a common means used by various daimyo at that time, such as the Maori family's Murakami naval army is also prominent and quite prestigious for a while, but Fuso's ship can't board the big scene after all, so it has to be called a sampan.

The good official is full of confidence, isn't your Maori family specialized in wisdom, and there are many problems with smart people, the most common problem is to look ahead and look backwards, I want to see how your Maori family encounters my threat, how to solve it.

He smiled slightly, "Monk, don't say that, do you have a princess named Mao Lilan in your family?" Send it to me, and we can talk to him too! Even Kokura Castle can be negotiated to give you home! He is going to give this diplomatic monk a taste of what is called the power of diplomacy and what is called the diplomacy of power.
