Chapter 151 The Song of Sidisi

This beauty pageant caused a sensation, Zheng Chengguan originally thought, don't give his first batch of subordinates some crooked melons and cracked dates as wives, but he never thought that all the selected ones are like huā like jade, because most of the former Ning bō guards trained black slaves in Hirado, only a few dozen followed Hu Litao from Hirado in an ironclad boat, and learned that Xiao Mao became the uncle of the country, which was shocking enough, but I didn't expect the uncle of the country to actually give a wife, one for each person.

These people can marry a daughter-in-law in Ningbō, all of them are in their forties, all of them are singles, they are really grateful to Dade, a little anxious, regardless of the rules set by Hu Litao, they would rather be beaten with twenty military sticks than go ashore to take a look at the girl, and when they returned to the boat, they went to get the military stick by themselves with a smile, although the butt almost opened huā, after the fight, they could still boast to their comrades: Brothers, we are blessed this time, Uncle Guo made a big scene, those girls, One by one, they are almost like watery cabbage......

Most of the military households are illiterate, and they can be described by a little cabbage, and they are extremely satisfied in their hearts, they can arch the little cabbage, and they have land, and they will give birth to a fat boy in the future, and they are complete, even if they die, go down to see their ancestors, and we can explain the past.

These people are satisfied, but the good official has a headache, so many beautiful girls are selected, can they take care of the children at home with peace of mind, he couldn't help but ask Chiyo for an idea, but Chiyo was strange, so he said, why can't you take care of the children at home with peace of mind?

Eating Chiyo's question, the obedient official remembered, this is not the Ming Dynasty, let alone the next generation, it is natural for a woman to take care of her children at home, and she couldn't help but pat her head and laugh, no matter how beautiful these girls are, their identities are all farmers, at this time, the Fuso class is strict, and it is impossible for the samurai class and ordinary farmers to intermarry, even if it is just a samurai of two hundred stones, they suddenly became the wives of the samurai master, what else is there to dissatisfaction with.

And two hundred stones doesn't sound like much, but it's actually a lot, even according to the price of the Ming Dynasty, one tael of silver and two stone of rice, two hundred stone and one hundred taels of silver is really a lot of money, even in the Ning bō where the price is soaring, the ordinary Ning bō citizen class, a family is about ten taels of silver a year, and it is enough to eat and drink.

It's strange that those people don't rush to such conditions.

Chiyo saw the thoughtful appearance of the husband, and couldn't help but be a little funny, to know that it was like this kind of beauty pageant, she had never heard of it, it was incredible, I wanted to persuade the husband, but I was afraid that he would be thin-faced, so I went down and asked my father, but her father said, the so-called subtleties see kung fu, which proves that the lord is talented, this beauty pageant, enveloped those Ming ** guards under him, it is never an exaggeration to say that he is desperate, and it also envelops the farmers, at least, within ten years, The peasants of the whole Kyushu would talk about this generous old man in their spare time, and perhaps there would be peasants from other countries who would come to him.

Fuso is a 66-state system, equivalent to the small castle lords of Europe, these feudal lords have a trait, they will set up checkpoints on their own territory, collect taxes on the one hand, and on the other hand, prevent the peasants under their command from escaping.

In this era, population is the biggest resource, some lords pay light taxes, some lords pay heavy taxes, farmers are very realistic, for example, knowing that the tax of the country next door is four public and six people, and the country is seven public and three people, so they will definitely flow to the land of other countries on a large scale to rely on other lords, so, at this time, the feudal lords often catch the fleeing peasants, in fact, it should be said that it is more appropriate to say that the serfs, as long as they are caught, Fusang is to cut off the head and then hang the head, and the situation in Europe, It is the scene that has appeared in countless European and American games in later generations, the whole person is stuck in the sharpened wooden stake, and some even have to howl for days before dying, but even so, it can't stop some farmers from escaping.

The good official may not have thought of this, his original intention was actually to send a wife to each of his subordinates, but in fact, the sensation caused by this beauty pageant was beyond his imagination, when he was worried about why the big head had not yet arrived in Kyushu, the news of the beauty pageant spread like a plague to the Shimazu family and even the territory of the Maori family across the sea, it is said that a Maori farmer tried to swim across the sea with his daughter, and the daughter drowned alive in the sea.

When he heard the news, the good official was simply stunned on the spot.

It's like a later movie, in a special period, the husband spends his days planning how to swim to Hong Kong, and at the end of the film, he finally swims across the strait, while his wife doesn't hold on and drowns in the sea. ,

Ordinary people are as simple as that, no matter what kind of family and country righteousness and the like, they can't match his desire to live a good life, the so-called [the king does not know the minister to the enemy country, the father is not kind to the son and goes to another country] is said to be this truth, no matter how much the truth is said, the people who can't eat enough will ignore it.

Therefore, the ancestors will say that if the country has more wealth, those who are far away will come, and the people will stay in the land, and the warehouse will know the etiquette, and the food and clothing will know the honor and disgrace.

This act of the obedient official is equivalent to giving countless peasants the opportunity to become relatives of the samurai master, you know, this is not only a matter of land and money, but also involves a more critical thing, identity.

Just like the children of the undignified families of the Ming Dynasty were not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, in Fusang, you are a peasant, your children and grandchildren are peasants, and if you are a samurai master, your children and grandchildren are also superior samurai masters, and the daughters of peasants marry samurai masters, then, their identities have changed, and they have become the so-called national people, and they have the opportunity to be elected as samurai by the lord.

This is the reason why this beauty pageant caused a sensation on Kyushu Island, and more than 500 girls were selected to be wives of samurai masters.

The good official couldn't help it for a while, you said that you wanted to swim across the strait to participate in the beauty pageant, but your daughter drowned in the sea, and she felt a little guilty when she said it, so she had to brake urgently, anyway, a lot of girls were selected, so it was better to stop

Even so, the number and quality of the beauty pageant are the best choices, and some girls can even be said to be big stars in the future if they really dress up.

In short, this vigorous beauty pageant finally ended after about half a month, and the good official was looking for it on the route from Ryukyu to Fuso

Just when he was worried, a large number of ironclad ships finally arrived in Hakata, and the good official heard the news, and he didn't have time to put on his shoes, so he ran out barefoot, and was stopped by Chiyo when he arrived at the door.

Hakata and Tachihuā mountain castle are a certain distance, not too far, but there are also a few miles, the obedient officials ran all the way, the retainers and samurai on the road were surprised, just knelt down, but the lord passed by a gust of wind, and the princess Chiyo couldn't keep up.

Out of Bennomaru ran all the way, and when he reached the foot of the mountain, he finally saw Shan Sinan, this stinky boy was talking to Zhongli with a smile

"Big head ......" he shouted, his mood moved, and he walked over quickly, the big head heard the voice, looked up and saw his young master, for a while, he actually shed tears without fighting, and shouted "Young master." And he ran up.

When the master and servant met, they sighed for a while, although the big head probably didn't know what to sigh about.

This feeling is mainly because of the change in identity, from the two of them in the Ryukyus, in just a few months, the obedient official became the uncle of the Ming Dynasty, this change in identity is simply earth-shaking.

Jī moved for a while, and the obedient official couldn't help but scold him with a straight face, "You stinky boy, young master, I thought you were taken away by a shark at sea."

The big head made a bitter face when he heard this, "Young Master, I also want to come over to see you quickly, I don't know how much to think about the young master" The two have grown up together since childhood, and it can be said that they have never separated, "But, when I was at sea, I encountered a sneak attack by the damn Francophone, and I almost didn't see the young master......"

The obedient official was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly asked what was going on, at this time, it was Zhongli who took the lead and walked over, "Brother, let's talk about this later, let's see Grandpa Dou first." ”

Although Xiao Douzi is only a supervisor in the five grades, he can't stand his big head, which is equivalent to an angel, just like the eight mansion patrols in the romance story, in fact, his own official position is probably not a fart, but as the emperor's cronies, he has the duty of supervision, and when he arrives at the local level, no matter how big the official position of the local official is, he has to come and see, which is probably what it means.

Only then did the obedient official notice the kid behind him, dressed in a vermilion and black robe, and wearing a brocade embroidered cotton jacket outside, looking a little older than himself, his face seemed to be a little haggard, and after a pair of eyes with the obedient official, he hurriedly smiled on his face, "Where do you dare to call your father-in-law in front of your uncle......

"Are you ......" the obedient official pointed at him, vaguely feeling that there was some impression in his heart, Dou Dou was suddenly overjoyed, for a while, his eyes were even full of tears, "Uncle Guo still remembers the slave maid, the slave maid is really ......" said, he choked a little, and the big head couldn't help but interject: "Young master, don't listen to him, this kid has learned badly in the palace, I remember that he used to be very honest, once he bought a bag of sugar fried chestnuts on the street, I ate a few more, at that time he laughed and only knew how to stuff it into my hand." ”,

The so-called fairy words blew away, and Xiao Douzi was suddenly embarrassed by him, and the obedient official also found a memory in his heart, "I remembered, Xiaodouzi." After all, he is not like a big head who can go crazy on the street, he has also studied hard since he was a child, otherwise why would he be admitted to the county school at the age of twelve, although the northern literary style is not prosperous, but the twelve-year-old test Xiucai, if there is no talent, if not hard, it is absolutely impossible.

At this time, Xiao Douzi knelt down and saluted the obedient official in a proper manner, "Uncle Guo, don't blame it, the identity of the slave and maid is here, and this head is to thank Uncle Guo for taking care of the slave and maid before." He kowtowed as he spoke, what he meant was that I was an angel when I didn't speak, and it was not good to take the initiative to greet you.

The obedient official hurriedly stretched out his hand and dragged him up, looked at him carefully, and then felt that he was at most one or two years older than himself

"The villain Jinyi Wei Baihu Cheng Rui, meet the uncle of the country." Cheng Rui, who was following Xiao Douzi, knelt down and kowtowed to the obedient official at this time, he knew that he came out to do things this time, and he was afraid that he would have to follow Uncle Guo in the future, so his posture was extremely low. Xiao Douzi next to him whispered to the obedient official: "Uncle Guo, Cheng Baihu is a mother who asked the emperor for favors, and specially assigned to your side to be responsible for your safety." ”

Jin Yiwei, buddy, I finally saw Jin Yiwei, how famous is the word jī move in later generations After he arrived in Daming, he never saw it once, and now he saw it for the first time, but he didn't expect it to be dialed to his subordinates, so he quickly reached out to help him, "Cheng Baihu, please hurry up." ”

Behind them, Li Yufu, the jade dragon who once crisscrossed the sea, couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene.

He originally said that he wanted to serve as a good official, of course, at that time, his words were just a disguise, mainly holding Zhongli's big tuǐ, and then Zhongli's top boss Zhejiang Governor Cai Tai, but he never thought that when he was going to Fusang, he ran into a naval battle between the Ning Bōwei ironclad ship and the Spanish galleon in the Manila Governorate.

Those Spanish galleons were equipped with artillery on one side, and it was said that the firepower was not as powerful as the two-sided guns of Ning Bōwei's ironclad ships, but the speed of the Spanish galleons was slightly faster, and the artillery could only use one side when firing, not to mention that the military quality of the Spaniards at this time was indeed better than that of Ning Bōwei, who was half farming and half fighting. For a time, it was to suppress Ning Bōwei's ironclad ship to the point that there was no way to do it, fortunately it was an ironclad ship, not to mention that the Ming shipbuilding technology at this time was a watertight compartment, which was not easy to sink, and the Pespahlard's ship keel was dense and strong, and could be loaded with more artillery, and the Ming ship used watertight compartment technology, the keel structure was not strong, and the cannon would fall apart if it was loaded with more, which was also the reason why the guns on both sides of the Fu ship were installed, but the biggest feature of the watertight compartment was that it was not easy to sink, even if it was pierced through a big hole, It can even be towed back from the sea in the event of a reef, because it itself is a sealed compartment that is only a compartment with water if it is penetrated.

Compared with the two sides, it can only be said that they have their own victories, but in terms of military literacy in naval warfare, the Spaniards have been pirates for so many years, and naturally they are not comparable to those of Ning Bōwei.

It's just that as soon as Li Yufu's ship joined, the situation suddenly changed, Li Yufu was a serious pirate, his ship was more flexible, and the sailors were more experienced, although there were fewer cannons, but he was able to flexibly pass through the Spanish ships, and then a burst of artillery fire fired indiscriminately, and immediately sank one, and the Spaniards were not stupid, and immediately turned around and ran.

The little Douzi on the Dafu boat was frightened, and at this time he understood, and the feelings of those court bigwigs said that Haiyan Heqing was coaxing the emperor to be happy, and we were still sitting on the Dafu boat with two thousand materials.

And Li Yufu and the third master He Kangan did not chase after him, and they were originally going to meet Zhong Lizhong guerrilla on the Dafu boat, but in the end, what they saw was a father-in-law of a five-rank inner shì, and then learned that Zheng Guofan was a royal nobleman, the younger brother of Concubine De.

The two of them were surprised for a while, but after all, Li Yufu is also a person who has seen a big scene, a pirate for decades, and he has the name of a pirate king for more than ten years, so he immediately pressed the surprise in his heart, and said to Xiao Douzi in a serious way, he has always had the heart to serve the court, and he is friendly with General Zhongli Zhong, and he also admires Uncle Zheng Guo tightly, last time in Ryukyu, and Uncle Guo was also close, those Francophone people actually dared to offend their father-in-law, which is equivalent to offending the court, the villain is willing to be a father-in-law, and he is angry for his father-in-law. ,

The heart of being a eunuch is often not wide, after all, they are missing a part, Xiao Douzi said a thousand ways and ten thousand, and he is still a eunuch, and he was frightened by the Francophile, and he was holding back a bad breath At this moment, Li Yufu said this, where is there any reason to disagree, just like that, the two parties merged, and chased the Spanish ship closely.

When the obedient officer heard this, his face suddenly turned red, and he knew that this was the story of the Spanish countess who he named people not Sidisi, and his brother was also the governor of Manila, and it was not unusual for him to send a fleet.

At this time, they were sitting in the castle tower of Lihuā Mountain Castle, and the obedient official in order to express his welcome, let Sister Chiyo make tea herself, Li Yufu, the big man to be honest, still has some means, to win it over, it can come in handy, isn't it stupid not to use it, and Lihuā Daddy is busy with business taxes, and his feet don't touch the ground all day long, and he can't wait to have a doppelganger technique, and he is busy and happy, this is the mentality of the elderly, they are not afraid of being busy, they are afraid of not being busy, the older they are, the more they want to catch something, in order to prove that they have come to the world.

Therefore, the obedient official sat on the top, next to Chiyo twisted tea, ordered water, and the big head sat next to his feet, and behind the obedient official were two female slaves, Bao Yiman and Behory, who were also dressed in costumes, out of bad taste, the good official dressed the two of them was the dress of the Egyptian pharaoh's concubine, and the dress was actually graceful and luxurious and quite exotic.

As the so-called residence moves qi and nourishes the body, the obedient official is now not only the lord of more than 300,000 stones around the mountain city, but also the uncle of the Ming Kingdom, this spectrum, this style naturally has to be pinched, you know, when he was originally a showman, it doesn't matter if he wears a white sè Confucian shirt every day, others have to say that he is elegant, but now if he wears it again, it will be inappropriate, just like the emperor, no matter how simple he dresses up, the clothes on his body have to be embroidered with a coiled dragon, you say I want to wear strange clothes, it's not impossible, For example, Emperor Wuzong likes to wear strange clothes, but such emperors are generally not highly evaluated.

So the good official must come up with a rule, as the so-called no rules are not a circle, sometimes sit in a high position, in fact, it is not necessarily so happy, you will definitely lose something at the same time, the good official now deeply feels, wherever he goes, there is always a group of samurai behind the buttocks, those retainers see him, they have to kneel down and salute first, in short, all kinds of discomfort, but, the good official must slowly adapt.

If he is not an official and is a romantic Tang Bohu, no one will say that he is an unconventional dynasty, such as Wang Gen, the ancestor of the Taizhou School, when he first went to see Wang Yangming, the patriarch of Xinxue, when he went to study, he wore a high crown of paper paste on his head, a wide robe with big sleeves, and stepped on clogs, just like the style of the Wei and Jin dynasties, but Wang Yangming said that he was just venting his dissatisfaction with the society by dressing up in strange clothes.

For example, Zhang Xianyi of Suzhou Prefecture, who lived between Jiajing and Wanli years, frequently appeared in the notes of his contemporaries, saying that he liked to travel in red clothes, with five fake beards in his sleeves, and when he was in a good mood, he put up his red sè beard, and when he was in a bad mood, he pretended to be a white sè beard, and he also liked to prostitute Ji, and took Ji Nu to admire the moon, and then asked Ji Nu to pretend to be a dead man, so he whined and sighed to write an article.

For example, Mr. Qingteng Xu Wenchang, there are many allusions to this guy, and I can't finish talking about it.

These people, whether they seek fame or do learning, vent their dissatisfaction with the society, in short, the whole society was very tolerant of them at that time, but they can do this, if the cabinet elder Zhang Siwei says, I want to do this, in that case, if the emperor does not say that he wants to remove him, first of all, the scholars of the world will first scold him to the point that the ancestors in the ancestral grave have to climb out.

In fact, there are such examples in Fuso, the most famous is known as [Owari's big fool] Oda Nobunaga, when he was young, he liked to paint a huge ** on the back of his clothes with a strong sè color, and then he wore a swagger through the market, in short, Nobunaga when he was young was a hippie like a later Huā flag country, and even caused the dissatisfaction of the vast majority of old ministers, and secretly colluded to make his younger brother the governor.

Therefore, the good official must be adapted, there are some things that must be discarded, and there are some things that must be used, in short, this score must be laid out, whether you want it or not.

But because he is still old, some manners, such as when he is free, he will take the village is in the hand to compare the swordsmanship, the retainers who have seen his swordsmanship are even more vinegared to say that the lord's swordsmanship is very mysterious, but, because he always likes to shake the sword in his hand, looking at it inevitably makes people panic, everyone sits, he is alone with a sword that cuts gold and jade in his hand and stirs up a bright sword there, and he talks to you with a smile on his face, it is strange if he does not seep panic.

In short, because of this habit, his nickname of [Killing Maocai] is solid.

Everyone was sitting, and it was Li Yufu who spoke, he was the protagonist of this naval battle, like a big head, and his swordsmanship was good, but he didn't know anything about naval warfare, not to mention that he was only twelve years old, if you let him really say anything, he didn't have that ability.

“…… Thanks to Dou's father-in-law's willingness to take the lead in his own hands, we had the upper hand, and finally sank three Franc man's warships, captured one, and four or five escaped back to Manila. After Li Yufu finished speaking, he saluted the obedient official respectfully, "Uncle Guo, that's all the villain can say." ”

"Yufu, the villain's self-title, don't use it in the future." The obedient official called Li Yufu's name in an old-fashioned manner, there is no way, his status is too high now, if the emperor's brother-in-law calls Li Yufu Brother Yufu, wouldn't he scare the jade dragon into a dead dragon.
