Seventy-eight Miki Jiro and Yu Boss

Summary: At this time, after the surprise attack on Jingzhou by Eastern Wu, and then the vicious battle of the Eastern Wu Yiling War of Shu Han, eight years have passed, and the situation has been relatively stable. In the face of the strong military pressure of the Northern Wei Dynasty, both the Eastern Wu and Shu Han felt that they were unable to deal with the Northern Wei alone. Both countries wanted to re-establish an alliance (or at least a non-aggression pact) against the Northern Wei Dynasty.

In fact, the Battle of Xiangfan was the only chance for Wu and Shu to join forces to defeat the Cao Wei group. However, due to the respective intrigues of the two countries, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was missed.

(About the Battle of Xiangfan, there is a detailed description in the sequel "The Legend of Diaoyutai".) ）

Now Wu and Shu can only be fish and meat, and they can be slaughtered by the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The Northern Wei Dynasty was also very jealous of the alliance between Wu and Shu, so it tried every possible way to drive a wedge into it, so that the two countries would be in a state of antagonism and hatred for a long time, and the Northern Wei Dynasty would be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman as it did during the Xiangfan War.

Jianye, 'Wangjiangtian' restaurant.

Boss Yu and Miki Jiro confronted each other.

The shopkeeper picked up customers at the door of the store and waited for Wang Ping.

Wang Ping strode to the front of the "Wangjiangtian" restaurant.

"Wangjiangtian" restaurant is a riverside restaurant, in the upstairs of the restaurant, you can look down on the river.

The shopkeeper asked Wang Ping inside: "General Wang?" Inside please, inside please. The nobleman has been waiting for you inside for a long time. ”

Wang Ping asked, "Who is the nobleman?" Is it General Sima Zhao? ”

The shopkeeper said respectfully: "I don't dare to ask, anyway, it's quite magnificent." It was his men who ordered the little ones to wait for General Wang here. ”

Wang Ping nodded and followed the shopkeeper into the VIP room upstairs.

Boss Yu sent Wang Ping upstairs, shook his head and said, "I didn't expect that the general of the Northern Wei Dynasty would actually invite the general of Xishu to drink." Leave him alone, we drink our wine. ”

Boss Yu took a sip of wine and said, "Miki-kun, I didn't expect you to be so handy in business because of your martial arts background. ”

Miki Jiro said: "Xingwu is a monk halfway, and business is my earliest path (career). When I first left home, I went to Noda Trading Company to do business. Only later did we get to your ship 'Hyford'. In the future, isn't it all recommended by your boss Yu? ”

Boss Yu sighed: "Alas, Noda Dalang was originally also a good businessman. When my ship first went to Fuso Nagasaki, many of the cargoes belonged to Noda-kun. It's just that he was addicted to gambling, so he lost and went bankrupt all of a sudden, sold the trading company, and finally ended up being dragged away by the wild dogs of Yizhou, and died a miserable death. However, is the four big gold that he deceived you back into your hands? ”

Miki Jiro shook his head and said, "Wow." It is said that the four gold coins were hidden by Noda Dairo in the mountains of Yishu. The Yamamoto brothers searched for a long time on Noda, but they couldn't find it. When I asked him, he would not say until he died. Later, the Yamamoto brothers searched everywhere in the mountains of Yizhou, but they couldn't find it. These four coins of gold are better to stay in Alishan. ”

Boss Yu asked, "Then how does Miki-kun have the capital to buy goods and do business?" ”

Miki Jiro sighed: "If it weren't for the loss of these four coins of gold, I would not have re-entered the business sea." I was determined to earn back those four coins and give water chestnuts a stable home in Nagasaki. The capital of those businesses was given to me by Lotus Leaf, Long Hong, the four sisters of the Hua family, and Lotus Core. Thanks to these years of experience, I am familiar with people in Nagasaki, Linhai, Yizhou, and Chongwu, and my business is quite smooth, so I have earned back the four coins. I would also like to thank Boss Yu for transporting goods for me on this boat. ”

Old Yu laughed and said, "Where is it, this is the boat you take care of my old man." Miki-kun, you and water chestnut are already married, why don't you go back to Nagasaki? ”

Miki Jiro said: "When I have nothing, the water chestnut does not dislike me and marries me." This time I went back to Nagasaki to build a happy home for her. I won't let the water chestnut down. ”

A gong sounded on the street downstairs and an order: "General Wei Wen of Pingdong has an order: From now on, all ports will be closed." All ships are only allowed to enter the port, not to leave the port. If there is any violation, it will be punished as disobeying military orders. ”

Boss Yu slapped his thigh and said to Miki Jiro: "Oh no, the port is closed." We are not allowed to leave the port, and we will not be able to go to Nagasaki. ”

Miki Jiro said, "Don't worry. The closure of the port has its own opening day. But I don't know what to close the port, how long will it take? ”

There was a lot of discussion in the restaurant.

Miki Jiro and Boss Yu quietly listened to the discussion of the drinkers.

A said, "Did you hear that?" Did you hear that? The port is closed, the port is closed. ”

B said: "I haven't heard of the closure of the port before, has something happened?" ”

A whispered mysteriously, "I heard that yesterday the Holy Lord was furious. ”

Curious, B asked, "Why is the Holy One angry?" ”

Jia smiled: "Isn't it for that donkey-faced boy Zhuge Ke." ”

B nodded and said, "Zhuge Ke, I've seen it." Zhuge Jin's son, his face is particularly long. ”

C said: "The emperor was angry when he saw the child's face, and the child should be unlucky." ”

A smiled: "No." Yesterday in the Golden Palace, the emperor asked someone to bring a donkey and wrote on the donkey's face: Zhuge Ziyu four characters. The Manchu Dynasty and the military all laughed. ”

B asked, "If you are laughing, why is the emperor angry?" ”

A deliberately sold off the guanzi and said slowly: "Listen to me." Zhuge Ke's little boy was not in a hurry, picked up the pen and added two more words on the donkey's face. ”

B asked, "What word?" ”

A said: "Simple, the word 'donkey'. Together, it is: 'Zhuge Ziyu's donkey'. ”

The audience nodded their heads and said, "This kid is so smart." ”

A said, "The emperor also praised him. Zhuge Ke, this kid, earned a donkey with two words. ”

The audience expressed envy.

B asked, "The emperor is very happy and not angry." ”

A nodded and said, "Yes, the emperor is very happy, so he ordered the two princesses of the big tiger and the little tiger princess to dance with swords." The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty applauded together. ”

B asked, "Isn't the emperor even happier?" ”

A shook his head and said: "At this time, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and Zhuge Ke Xiaoer suddenly mentioned the water princess of Yizhou in front of the emperor. ”

Miki Jiro and Boss Yu originally listened with relish, but when they heard that it was about Yizhou and Princess Shui, they immediately listened attentively.

B asked, "What's wrong with the water princess of Yizhou?" Isn't it also our princess of Dongwu? ”

A said: "When the emperor heard about the Yizhou Water Princess, he was immediately furious, saying that the Yizhou Water Princess was a fake, and he wanted to send troops to capture the Yizhou Water Princess. ”

B asked, "That's what you said yesterday." ”

A said: "Isn't this a Hong Kong closure order today?" ”

B nodded and said, "It turns out that the emperor is going to do something to Yizhou and the water princess!" ”
