Chapter 1035: Tokugawa Ieyasu's Observations
Three huge sea ships sailed into the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the ships that had been ordered to patrol were already ordered to meet them, and after a few words of negotiation between the two sides, two warships sailed out of the port of Chongming's naval division, guarding both sides of the sea boats, and tracing the river together.

The two sides kept the same speed, threw the ropes from the battleship, and connected them to the sea-going ships, and then there were wooden boxes two feet square, and they slid from the battleship to the sea-going ships, and the sloppy sailors cheered, and they contained the things they most longed for, fresh vegetables, fat and delicious mutton, freshly harvested rice, and grapes, apples, pears, and dozens of fruits.
The sailors' eyes were green, they grabbed a bunch of grapes and stuffed them into their mouths, gobbled them up, and ate them all in a few clicks, and when the officer's whip came, they grinned and smirked, whether they beat or not, anyway, Lao Tzu was so happy that the officer could only stomp his feet.
"I'm stunned and pretending to be dead, and I won't send it to the eldest prince!"
"Well, here it goes!"
A few soldiers ran to the cabin with their boxes and legs, leaving home at the beginning of the year, almost a year, Tang Ping'an was a lot taller than before, but he also lost a lot of weight, the original cute baby fat was gone, and he became a heroic young man with big eyes, high cheekbones, and closed lips.
He sat silently in the cabin, constantly flipping through a book, but the pages were all sanded, and between the lines, there were small words full of notes, and it was obvious that he was working very hard.
When he closed the page, three big words were revealed: Siyi Zhi!
There is another line of words below, the first draft of Jiajing's forty-second year Xiaozhan Xinzhai.
This "Siyi Zhi" was officially written by Tang Yi when he was in Xiaozhan.
Tang Yi debuted for more than ten years, except for Tang Xuesanshu, he doesn't seem to have written anything else, but in fact, Tang Yi also wrote a general war, an accounting summary, and this "Four Yi Zhi".
In this book, Tang Yi explores the history of almost all neighboring countries, analyzes their national personalities, and proposes strategies to solve border problems. Tang Yi put forward three main magic weapons, one is to promote the concept of Confucianism and weaken the strength of various countries, the second is to have their own trade and promote personnel exchanges, and the third is to encourage immigrants to intermarry and assimilate.
Tang Yi believes that in the past, it was limited by the isolation of the mountains, so that the Central Plains Dynasty was powerless for the Siyi, but now the sea route is smooth, and it is even more convenient to take a boat to Annan and other places than the north-south transportation of the Ming Dynasty, so the Ming Dynasty has the physical conditions for assimilating the Siyi.
Even Tang Yi also proposed that with the invasion of Xiyi in the East, the small vassal states in Nanyang and other places are bound to feel a strong existential crisis, if the Ming can carry the banner of confronting the Xiyi, take the opportunity to subdue the feudal states, expel the Westerners, and then control the Nanyang, and enter the Indian subcontinent, the Ming will have a huge human resources similar to the local population.
At that time, it is equivalent to every Ming person having an overseas slave, and life is not too good......
In "Siyi Zhi", it is full of conspiracy and calculation, the weak eat the strong, not to mention the time of the Jiajing Dynasty, Tang Yi did not dare to take it out, even if it was in the Longqing Dynasty, he was not sure whether he should throw it out.
But others don't know, every day in Tang Yi's study around Ping'an found this secret, when he was a child, he still remembers the scene of his father writing under the oil lamp, he was too young at the time, he couldn't recognize all the words, naturally he didn't understand the key in the book, and when he was eleven or twelve years old, he learned the four books and five classics, and also passed the historical records, Zizhi Tongjian, with a historical foundation, and then turned over his father's works, Tang Ping'an was completely stunned.
It turned out that under the mask of Daddy's humble gentleman, he turned out to be such a ruthless and sinister face, but he had such an appetite for himself, Ping An once felt that he had the potential to be a little traitor, but he was a little traitor, so wouldn't Daddy be a big traitor?
It wasn't until he went to sea with his grandfather and went around Japan that Ping An finally figured out that between countries and at home, there is really a difference.
In Daming, no matter how bad it is, there are still rules and royal laws, but overseas, it is the most cruel law of the jungle, and there is no benevolence and righteousness to talk about.
Ping An put the book away, stretched his waist, and walked outside.
"Eldest son, look, there is fruit."
The sailor offered the box to peace.
Ping'an's eyes also lit up, after eating the bean sprouts for more than ten days, the water on the ship also deteriorated, so I had to cook the bean sprouts with rice wine, not to mention the unpalatable, there were many beans that did not sprout, after eating, poof, fart, the smell in the cabin, it was indescribable. Fortunately, the Wa Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty are not far away, if you sail around the world, I heard that the meat will be overgrown with insect repellent, and the sailors have to eat maggots to eat the leftovers, and some simply eat insects...... Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps.
"Go and call that big fat man over and let him eat some too."
Not long after that, swaying from the outside, a middle-aged man trotted over, not too fat, but the skin on his face hung down, like a Shar Pei dog.
When he came in, he shouted excitedly: "Land, land, I see land!" ā
"It's so rare and weird!" Ping An was full of disdain, "Mr. Tokugawa Ieyasu, congratulations, you have survived to the Ming Dynasty!" ā
This guy is none other than Tokugawa Ieyasu.
With the help of the Ming people, Oda Nobunaga defeated his opponent, and after the war, he became more and more aware of the importance of the Ming Dynasty, and he had to send important people to the Ming Dynasty to learn from the scriptures. He wanted to go by himself, but he had just won the battle, and he didn't dare to leave.
After thinking about it in the end, he chose Tokugawa Ieyasu, this guy was a proton in his early years, and he had a deep friendship with Oda Nobunaga, and the whole country was against Oda, only Tokugawa Ieyasu was on his side, although Tokugawa's strength was not very good, so that Takeda Shingen was urinated, but he was a confidant ally, and he was very smart, so he sent him and followed Tang Ping'an back to Daming.
Entering the mouth of the Yangtze River and seeing his own people, Ping An knew that his father accompanied the emperor to Suzhou, and he would be able to see his father immediately!
Ping An suddenly had a sour nose and red circles under his eyes.
Tokugawa, who was coughing pears, saw it, and asked, "Yes, I'm homesick."
"Miss you big-headed ghost!"
Heian glared at Tokugawa fiercely and kicked him twice.
pinched his waist in annoyance, "Tell you, from now on, don't eat, drink, or sleep, Young Master Ben will teach you Chinese well and learn the great gift of meeting the emperor!" ā
"Emperor! Emperor? Tokugawa Ieyasu swallowed a large piece of pear so hard that his head froze.
Ping'an hated that iron could not become steel, and scolded: "Fool, that is, my supreme king of the Ming Dynasty, the son of heaven who is rich from all over the world, is not comparable to the furnishings of your country!" You're so lucky, you can see my Ming Emperor, and you can see my father, I really don't know what kind of **** luck you have gone! ā
Frankly speaking, Tokugawa Ieyasu was very smart, but it was a pity that he only took the opportunity to learn a little Chinese when he was on the boat, and he could only hear less than thirty percent.
But judging from the look of peace, it shouldn't be a bad thing.
Soon Ping'an called several gentlemen on the boat over and taught Tokugawa Ieyasu to shout long live the emperor, kowtowing again, and making a fuss, the big fat man shrank along the way, so tossed, and looked smaller.
Regardless of how well you learn etiquette, some people can handle it.
They all went ashore from Liujiagang, stepped on the land of Daming, returned to their hometown, and the young man's heart that was pressed in his heart was released, running all the way, jumping, and shouting loudly, making pedestrians think that a little madman had come.
Tokugawa Ieyasu, on the other hand, followed closely behind, looking from time to time to both sides of the road, and frankly, his heart was shocked, or the kind that could not be added!
The wide and flat roads are made of stone, and they are not afraid of water, and there is not a single one in the whole of Kyoto.
On both sides of the road, there are irrigation canals, which stretch to the sky, and the paddy fields are busy harvesting, the rice is cut, and there are many fish swimming in the muddy water. It turns out that when the seedlings are planted in the spring, the fish will eat pests, weeds, screws, small crabs, etc., so that the rice seedlings will not be harmed, and the fish manure can be used to fertilize the field.
After the rice is harvested, the rice fish is taken away, and the family can enjoy the fatty fish, and it can also be marinated into dried fish, if there is any leftover, it does not matter, horse racing in the southeast is popular, and fish meal is the best thing.
Every household prepared a huge soup pot, and after a simple cleaning of the fish, they threw it into the pot, and cooked it until the bones were crispy and the meat was rotten, and the aroma wafted everywhere.
Tokugawa Ieyasu swallowed and spat desperately, obediently, what a luxury, this is the Heavenly Empire, it's heaven?
Ping'an couldn't stand the sound of this guy swallowing saliva, found a fellow villager, took a silver dollar, and exchanged it for five fat rice fish, the monkey was quick with his hands and feet, cleaned up the fish scales, gills, and fish intestines, and threw them into the pot to stew.
Tokugawa Ieyasu shook his head frequently, "Fish is a God-given ingredient, and it is necessary to eat it whole in order to taste the natural taste and be the healthiest for the body." ā
Qi Anguo stabbed Ping'an, "Is it true?" ā
Ping An rolled his eyelids, "The poor are reluctant to throw things, they all say that breaking the house is worth ten thousand!" ā
Qi Anguo laughed heartily, "Brother, sharp enough!" ā
Tokugawa Ieyasu buried his head in his chest and did not speak, and soon he raised his head, and the aroma of fish wafted out. The monkey sprinkled a circle of salt into the pot, turned over the fish with a shovel, drank the soup, and gave Ping'an one first, one for him and Qi Anguo, and the other two, no need to ask, all belonged to the big fat man of Tokugawa.
The three of them ate with their heads bored, each of them wiped out most of them, and when they looked up, Tokugawa Ieyasu was scooping out all the soup in the pot, dipping it in steamed buns, quickly eliminating it, and then making a comfortable burp, leaning against the stove, and snoring loudly.
I can eat and sleep, no wonder I'm so fat!
Qi Anguo covered his face and said depressedly: "I said peace, let's bring a pig, what can we do with him?" ā
Ping An didn't care, "The pig is good, it's easy to feed, as long as he is obedient, we have the ability to turn him into a dragon, if he is disobedient, even if it is a dragon, he can also give him a meal to eat!" ā
After hearing this, the monkey nodded again and again, "Young Master Ping An is domineering, what he said is really good!" ā
The three little ones were talking and laughing, but they didn't notice that Tokugawa Ieyasu's ears moved slightly...... (To be continued.) )
