Chapter 171: Temptation (Part 7)
Now, Ye Si has become the same person as all the new soldiers of Zhenguo, and even his noble background, the original sense of superiority is gone, because here, no one seems to care about this, even the king's counselor, even eats with the soldiers. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It is said that Counselor Wang's father is actually the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, Ye Si suddenly felt that there was nothing to show off, but the only thing he was better than others was that others used strips of cloth to brush their boots, but he bought a brush from outside at a high price, and when he brushed his boots, he didn't let go of the slightest dirt, and even the back of his boots had to be wiped spotlessly.
It was the last bit of his pride.
Ye Chunqiu knew that the training of recruits was just the first step, which was nothing more than cultivating physical strength and discipline, and grinding everyone together to become a collective.
There is still a long way to go for the naval division to form combat effectiveness.
However, Ye Chunqiu was not slow, to a certain extent, because these Franc machine sailors made Ye Chunqiu save a lot of things, at least they could increase the speed of the formation of combat effectiveness by several times.
Ye Chunqiu is busy at both ends now, and when he returns home today, he feels that the atmosphere is different, and when he just arrived at the gate, he saw Ye Song standing there expectantly.
Because he came back late, it was already in the sky at this time, Ye Song had a bit of wine in his mouth, and when he saw that Ye Chunqiu was back, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I'm going to Lu's house to eat wine today." ”
Ye Chunqiu was noncommittal, but continued to cross the middle door with his hands behind his back, and said lightly: "Go to the hall and say." ”
The two of them went to the flower hall in the back garden one after another, Ye Chunqiu sat down, Ye Song sat next to Ye Chunqiu, and then said: "Then Lu Shilang invited you to go again and again, I blocked the drive, and then I couldn't grind, so I simply went on your behalf, but this time, I was shocked, and when I got there, there were many people who came to sit with me, so I tried to remember their official positions, all the ministries and halls, and a few, in Jinyiwei were also invited, they treated me like a guest, and said a lot of beautiful words. ”
As he spoke, Ye Song showed Ye Chunqiu a prepared list of flowers.
Ye Chunqiu only took a cursory look, and there were dozens of people.
At this time, Ye Song continued: "These are what I remember, and there may be people who don't remember them, or the official position is wrong, but there shouldn't be much difference." ”
Ye Song glanced at Ye Chunqiu, and said: "Chunqiu, these are the people on the table, but they are very terrifying, you look at this, Hanlin waiter Yang Xiong, you know it, this person's name is also known to the world, he is not even afraid of Liu Jin, he once impeached Liu Jin, he was going to remove his official, but the cabinet kept him to death, this person also served as a prefect in Sichuan, it is said that the official reputation is also excellent, everyone praises him, and he is a real righteous gentleman." ”
Ye Chunqiu knew that Ye Song was a smart person, and when he saw the list, he felt that something was wrong, and Ye Song actually wrote everyone down quietly, which was also rare.
Ye Chunqiu said: "And then, what did they say?" ”
Ye Song said: "Either it's about the friendship of fellow villagers, or it's ...... It is to praise the spring and autumn, and so on. ”
"Didn't you mention the sea trade?" Ye Chunqiu put down the list with a smile.
Ye Song shook his head and said, "That's not true. ”
In this way, it is nothing more than a temptation, these people will not get straight to the point, they must come slowly.
"But in Ningbo, I got some interesting news." Ye Song looked at Ye Chunqiu cautiously at this time and said: "There is a fellow villager in Ningbo, who is a showman, and the family seems to be unclear with them, but many times, he is just responsible for providing them with goods, but he is not really involved." I invited him to eat and drink every now and then, and he got acquainted, but he revealed some news, saying that these people should not be underestimated, they are not only the contacts in the central and local areas, but what is even more terrifying is that they are often familiar with the Japanese and even the princes of the Japanese state, whether it is Korea, Annam, Luzon or the Japanese state, their influence is by no means shallower than their connections in the court. ”
Ye Song looked at Ye Chunqiu's expression and said: "Spring and Autumn you think, usually the imperial court has some contacts with the countries, which is probably some official contact, and there is very little contact on weekdays. And the countries really deal with the Ming Dynasty for a long time, but some smuggling merchants, this large number of profitable goods to the Wa or Luzon, if there is no connections, no friendship, even if you ship it, dare to sell? For many ministers and even clans and princes of various countries, the most important thing is to collude with them, provide them with protection, and earn a large amount of money at the same time. Especially the Japanese state, it is said that now the generals of the Japanese state have been weak, the princes on the island are fighting endlessly, many princes, are relying on these smuggling merchants to fund, in order to recruit troops and horses, and even many Japanese bandits, are attached to their doors, some smugglers, there are hundreds of thousands of Japanese pirates under the head, occupy a certain island, will be there as a place for transshipment, these, are long-term business, from Zheng He to the West to the present seventy or eighty years of accumulated contacts and rules, and even smugglers, is to the general shogunate of the Japanese state, They are also their guests......"
When Ye Song said this, Ye Chunqiu didn't feel strange.
Ye Song is right, the Ming Dynasty's sea ban, except for occasional official exchanges, has almost severed relations with various countries, and the attitude towards countries is only that you can send envoys to the DPRK on time.
For the countries, the specialties of the Ming Dynasty that they urgently needed were not enough with a little reward from the imperial court, and at this time, those smuggling merchants who insisted on the ban on the sea were equivalent to replacing the role of the imperial court, and they got to know many of the country's dignitaries through trade.
To a certain extent, this smuggling network, of course, is not only Daming, a slap does not make a sound, under the national policy of the Ming Dynasty ban, they have been given enough space to play, and for more than 80 years, they have already run a group that crosses countries.
Ye Chunqiu said: "I have heard a saying, saying that the Japanese are entrenched overseas, logically speaking, if there is no one to guide them, how can these Japanese invade my Ming Dynasty maritime frontier repeatedly, so some people even think that many Japanese are simply thugs raised by some people, originally these, I don't believe it, thinking that where in this world someone will raise a group of robbers to invade their own country, but now, I find that no one can believe it." ”
Ye Song faced Ye Chunqiu, and finally looked a little more relaxed, and said with a smile: "This ...... It's not very accurate, it's all a matter of false rumors, but in this way, Spring and Autumn should be more careful. ”
