Chapter 181: Candlelight Night Talk
Lin Yiyang was quite talkative, and sat in Yu Xiaotian's study with Yu Xiaotian, drinking tea and talking eloquently, without seeing anything outside, looking leisurely.
It's just the scars on his face and the tears on his clothes, but it makes his performance a little ridiculous.
But Yu Xiaotian didn't laugh at him, after the two sides sat down, they began to talk about the sea from south to north, although Lin Yiyang is not too old, but he really reads a lot, and Yu Xiaotian also found that this person is not like ordinary readers, who only know how to read dead books, and read those books that can be used in scientific examinations.
From his words, Yu Xiaotian found that Lin Yiyang read a lot of miscellaneous books, in addition to the normal Four Books and Five Classics, he also read a lot of books on science and technology, agriculture, arithmetic, astronomy and geography, military and so on, which is quite rare among the readers of this era.
Therefore, Lin Yiyang's vision is much wider than that of ordinary readers, and at the same time, he is not so pedantic, and he seems to be very active in his thinking, but after all, he is younger, and his depth of knowledge is still limited, coupled with the limited level of science and technology in this era, his understanding of some things is still quite limited.
And Lin Yiyang seems to be very interested in the outside world, when he heard Yu Xiaotian talk about the sea and the continent in this world, Lin Yiyang seemed very excited, and repeatedly asked all kinds of questions about Xiaotian, especially for Xiaotian's life experience, Lin Yiyang was very curious, and asked many times about Australia's customs and geographical location.
Yu Xiaotian, as a half-college student in later generations, received the amount of information that is comparable to ordinary people in this era, for the understanding of this world, if he says that he is the second in this world, it is estimated that no one dares to say that he is the first, so he has a lot of things at his fingertips, and when he tells Lin Yiyang, Lin Yiyang feels very fresh, and he can't wait to ask more questions.
When Yu Xiaotian told him about the vastness of this world, Lin Yiyang was a little stunned after hearing it, and muttered: "Unexpected, really unexpected!" I thought I already knew a lot about it, but after listening to the words of the master, I realized that Lu Dao was just a frog at the bottom of a well! ”
"It's no wonder that sir, it's just that for a long time, we Chinese have focused too much on our own land, but very few people are willing to open their eyes and look farther away!" So much so that now, many of us still don't know that the world of Lu Dao has changed! I don't even know how big this world is!
Now the Taixi people have sailed all the warships to the door of our Ming Dynasty, but what about us? even began to run rampant along the coast of my Ming Dynasty, harming my Ming people! And who sees this and feels this crisis?
And the Taixi people are now far more than just stretching their hands to the door of our Ming Dynasty, their greedy nature has made them reach out to a farther place, in the far east of this sea, there is a very large land, the Taixi people are now encroaching, where gold and silver are produced, there are all kinds of inexhaustible resources, they use the silver they grabbed from there, transported to our Ming doorstep, in exchange for our things!
However, very few of us know where they got so much silver, and they only try to earn it from them, but we never think of going further afield to expand our territory like them!
To put it bluntly, we have lagged behind the pace of the Taixi people in this world by a lot, and in the long run, what awaits us Chinese will be a sad end!
Hehe! Far from it! Far from it! Mr. Lin must have thought, what do I, a little pirate leader, want to do these things? But I still can't help but think!
Just now, Mr. Lin said that the world is not the king's land, and Yu really doesn't like to hear it! Let's not say far, let's just say that this place is not far, just less than 200 miles of Taiyuan Island!
A huge Taiyuan Island, if you put it on the map, you will know that this place is close at hand according to my Ming Dynasty, but it has never been paid attention to by anyone in the Ming Dynasty, and this place is still an enclave!
The red-haired people occupy Penghu, but our Ming officials only think that Penghu is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and they can't lose it, they just want to expel them from Penghu, that's all, and even don't hesitate to use Taiyuan Island as an exchange condition, and sit back and watch the treasure island of Taiyuan Island be handed over to the red-haired people according to him!
I think that Luzon was a subject country of the Ming Dynasty back then, but what about now? But it was occupied by the Franco-Robot or the often said Dry Wax people, and the people living in Luzon were wantonly slaughtered by the Dry Wax people, and I not only sent troops to rescue them, but also did not punish the Dry Wax people! On the contrary, these people of our Ming Dynasty are regarded as outcasts, and they don't care about their life and death!
Acting like this, how can the Taixi people look up to us Daming? Amusing! Alas! ”
As Yu Xiaotian spoke, he began to be a little anxious again, thinking of the changes in the world now, and couldn't help but criticize the current imperial court.
But after listening to Yu Xiaotian's words, Lin Yiyang didn't feel that Yu Xiaotian was ridiculous, but his face slowly sank, and he said indignantly: "How dare Lin laugh at Yu Dangjia!" What Yu Dangjia said is very true, listening to Yu Dangjia's words today, it is really better than reading a book for ten years!
Do not hide it from the family, in the early years of Wanli years, the Luzon Island Gan Lasi people slaughtered the Ming people there, in the next I also heard my father talk about it, my father said that our ancestors also had people in Luzon Island at that time to do business, and later someone fled back, saying that the local natives and Gan Lasi people wantonly slaughtered the local Ming people, and begged the government and the court to avenge them, but at that time, the court and the government thought that they were willing to destroy the people, not enough pity!
There was also the governor of Fujian at that time, Xu Xueju Xu Daren who crossed the sea with a division to cross the sea, the outcome was unpredictable, and the national system was at stake, how could he dare to provoke rashly, and he did not want the court to send troops, and sat back and watched these Ming people be slaughtered by Fanyi!
When I mentioned this matter at home today, I also felt deeply humiliated! It's really embarrassing to think that I am so bright, but I treat my own people like this! ”
"That's it, don't mention these things, as soon as I mention it, I'll be angry! Although I was not born in the Ming Dynasty, I still regard myself as a citizen of the Ming Dynasty! A few years ago, after a lot of hardships (this guy doesn't blush), he finally came back here!
Originally, Yu just wanted to find a place to settle down, have something to eat, and have a way to live, but he didn't realize that just such an idea could not be realized.
There are a hundred households on the Funing side, greedy for money, biased to listen to slander, and insists that I am a pirate, wanting to arrest me and send me to the official for questioning, and also arrest the cheap people as slaves, and want to put us bitter people to death!
Yu was forced to be helpless, so he had to go to the sea as a thief!
Although you scholars hate us people, not all of us are bad people, and even the vast majority of us have to take this path because we are forced to do so! Can we all blame it?
Think about what a chaotic scene the coastal area of Fuzhou was before I entered Nanri Island, where pirates were rampant, fishing tyrants were rampant, and fishermen were struggling to make a living, but the government didn't care.
Looking at the area of Fuzhou now, although Yu does not dare to say that there is still peace for the coastal people, but in the past two years, has Yu ever attacked and disturbed the land?
And Yu Mou cut off many small local bandits, killed a few vicious fishing tyrants, and also made the coastal people peaceful, what Yu did was worse than the government? Since the government is inactive, then we can't be blamed for not obeying the education! I can't control what they can't do! It's better than no one at all! ”
After listening to Yu Xiaotian's words, Lin Yiyang nodded helplessly and said: "Yu Dangjia's words are reasonable, over the years, the imperial court has paid more attention to the construction of slaves in the north, and the defense of the southern coastal government against the Japanese has become more and more relaxed, so that although the trouble of the Japanese has decreased, the problem of the bandits has become more and more serious!"
The officials in the government do not repair themselves, and in the fish and meat township, the royal family and magnates are even more wantonly annexing land, so that the people who have lost their land are increasing, and the people have no way to make a living, so they have to devote themselves to thieves.
However, the government was unable to calm the sea, the shortage of officers and soldiers was serious, and the sailors did not repair the warships, which made the coastal defense slack!
Don't hide it from the master, the reason why Lin applied for an uncle and was willing to come to Nanri Island to do the accounting office was not just for food, but more because Lin had heard a lot about the head of the house and the sea wolves under his command recently, and he was very curious about your department, and wanted to come here to find out if it was like a paradise as the rumors said!
After Lin arrived on Nanri Island, he took the time to observe on the island, so that your subordinates mistakenly thought that it was Chu Cailao's spies below, which caused today's misunderstanding!
I don't know if you believe what you say? But do you still think that it is Chu Cailao or someone else's spy? ”
After hearing this, Yu Xiaotian immediately laughed loudly, shook his head and said: "Actually, when I saw you at the gate of the village today, I didn't think you looked like a spy, otherwise I wouldn't have come forward to ask about it!" Otherwise, you'll be tortured in my torture chamber right now!
Now that you and I have talked very happily and said so many things, I don't doubt that you are a fine work sent by Chu Cailao! Please rest assured Mr. Lin!
Come! Has the brother who went to Lin's house to inquire come back? ”
Liu Wang, who was outside the door, heard Yu Xiaotian calling him, so he immediately walked into the room and bowed down to report: "The big boss of Qiyu, the brother who went has already returned, and it is almost the third watch at this time!" The patrol brother replied that the Lin family had confirmed that Mr. Lin was a distant relative of their shopkeeper, and they were willing to give Mr. Lin a guarantee to ensure that Mr. Lin was definitely not a meticulous work sent by Chu Cailao!
In addition, the shopkeeper Lin also came to ask for a meeting before dark, hoping that the big boss could release Mr. Lin back, and today he was willing to pay a fine for the misunderstanding, and promised to restrain Mr. Lin in the future, and ensure that there will be no more such misunderstandings in the future!
But just now, I saw that the big boss and Mr. Lin were talking very happily, and they didn't dare to disturb the big boss, so they were temporarily withdrawn, and the shopkeeper Lin had already persuaded him to go back! ”
