Zheng Mang was almost so happy that his nose was bubbling, and someone handed him a pillow when he wanted to sleep!

Originally, I wanted to go to the Japanese country, and going through North Korea was just an excuse. Lao Tzu didn't understand Korean, and he couldn't even understand the words when he went to North Korea. The whole person is like lice on a bald man's head, isn't that a catch?

As soon as he began to flee, Zheng Mang gave full play to his ingenuity. And in his mind, he planned a proper escape route for himself.

First of all, we have to go to the Wa Kingdom!

This place is surrounded by the sea on all sides, and even if someone wants to arrest him, there is no way to control the entire port of the Japanese country. There are too many ports, and some of them are relatively remote, even if they are fast horses, it is too late to deliver news.

As long as you arrive in the Wa country, change into the clothes of the Wa people. Relying on his very fluent relationship in Japanese dialect, he mixed the identity of a Japanese businessman.

Then take a boat to follow the caravan of the Wa Kingdom and go to Yizhou as a Wa country, or a place like Java in the South China Sea. There are a lot of Japanese people in these places, and there are many places where information is closed. Hiding there, it is estimated that no one will find it for ten or eight years.

Entering the Moon Gate, Zheng Mang saw two Japanese people, both with samurai swords in their waists. Having lived in the Wa Kingdom for many years, Zheng Mang certainly knew that this so-called katana was actually called a rib cut. It's a smaller katana!

Raised like pigs by the Ming Dynasty for many years, the whole country is proud of doing business. Bushido is no longer the most desired goal of the samurai, but money is what these samurai of the Japanese kingdom yearn for.

In the past, every samurai was armed with a katana, both for self-preservation and for the sake of being a samurai. During the shogunate period, samurai was a very glorious profession.

Now the environment has changed greatly, and the whole of Northeast Asia is the territory of the Ming navy. The profession of piracy has disappeared.

Those who go to sea no longer use weapons to protect themselves. Besides, now weapons have fully entered the age of firearms. I also want to use a katana to protect myself.,It's completely like a lamb to be slaughtered.。

Therefore, now when the samurai of the Japanese Kingdom go out, basically no one carries a katana, and they all insert a rib to show their identity.

"Hello, I want to find your leader." Before the shopkeeper could speak, Zheng Mang smiled and greeted him in Mandarin.

This made the shopkeeper a little disappointed, but he didn't expect that people could even speak Mandarin. If you want to eat a little difference from the middle, it will become a luxury.

"Who are you?" The two Japanese warriors looked at the man in front of them vigilantly.

This guy was wearing a mink coat, carrying a bag on his back, and a bag in his hand. Wearing a fox fur hat on his head, he knows at a glance that he is either rich or noble.

But the Daming people are very arrogant, and they disdain to learn the Chinese language. Characters who are either rich or noble, let alone speak the Japanese language, they will only wait for the Japanese people to talk to them in the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty.

"I'm a businessman who has an urgent matter to go to the Japanese country, and my family has some business in Yokohama that needs to be handled urgently. Please pass it on your behalf! Zheng Mang bowed in accordance with the politeness of the Japanese people.

This kind of thing is a common understanding in the Wa Kingdom. In the face of people of different statuses, the angle of bowing is also different. This kind of thing can only be accurately grasped by the people of the Japanese country, or those who have lived in the country for a long time.

Ordinary people simply don't understand the difference between different angles of bowing.

For example, Zheng Mang bowed about 30 degrees to these two. This represents a noble status, and it is purely polite to be able to bow to them.

The two of them glanced at each other, and they were both very curious about this Han man, who looked like a Japanese person.

"What is your surname, sir?" One of the Japanese samurai returned the salute and asked.

"My surname is Guan, and my single name is a two-character character." In a hurry, Zheng Mang took his surname apart. The so-called two is the homonym of the ear.

For his wit, Zheng Mang was even a little proud.

"Mr. Guan, please wait a moment, I will go and report to my master." The samurai of the Wa Kingdom gave a salute and walked into an upper room.

Soon, the samurai came out with a guy wearing a kimono and stepping on clogs.

"My master, Jiro Ono, respectfully invites Mr. Zheng to enter." This guy is like a butler, he bowed deeply to Zheng Mang, and then respectfully led the way in front.

This store is a century-old store, and the decoration of the store is quite good. Inside the house, there are even high-end goods such as sofas.

In front of the sofa is a coffee table with a large glass of glass on top of it.

This is something that has become popular in recent years, with a huge glass brick on top of a wooden table. Of course, the top rich people of the Ming Dynasty don't use these things.

For example, in Zheng Zhilong's office, in front of the sofa is a coffee table made of agate stone.

"It's a great honor to meet Mr. Guan in Jiro Ono." A small samurai with samurai hair in a bun and a kimono embroidered with hibiscus flowers saluted Zheng Mang.

Now times have changed, and everyone is sitting on the couch. No longer have to kneel on the ground and sit down to sin, as in the Wa Kingdom.

"Guan is also deeply honored! This time, I came to ask Mr. Ono for something. Zheng Mang sat opposite Ono Jiro very angrily, although he has done a lot of evil things over the years, but the momentum of the superior has also been cultivated.

"Oh, I wonder if there's anything sir can help with?" Jiro Ono looked at the very generous young man in front of him in surprise.

I have to admit that among the young people he met in Daming, this guy is the most generous.

Not to mention him, even the entourage beside him seems to be more generous than his own entourage.

"My family has some business in Yokohama, and I need to rush back to deal with it. Counting the days, there are only three more days. I heard that Mr. Ono had a ship, and he wanted to return to the country in the near future.

Guan took the liberty to come here in order to get to Yokohama as soon as possible. If Mr. Ono can leave tonight, he will be in a hurry.

As for the fare, you can rest assured, as long as Mr. Ono says a number, there will be no counteroffer. ”

"Oh, Yokohama. It's ...... there! Jiro Ono hesitated.

"I have in-laws in my family, and I am a vassal of the Satsuma Domain. So, Mr. Ono can rest assured. ”

"That's fine, since you have this relationship, then everything is easy to say. Originally, I wanted to stay in Daming for two more days, but since Mr. said so, I would sail tonight. Ono Jiro glanced at Zheng Mang and Gouleg again, and immediately agreed.

Zheng Mang was about to bloom happily in the back of his head, but he didn't expect things to go so smoothly. In fact, there was not much time left for him, and the advent of the telegraph made the speed of message delivery much faster.

As soon as the airship to Fuzhou landed, the capital would soon know that he had disembarked from Jimo.

Although there is no electricity in Jimo, there is a naval port here. As an important military port in the north, there will definitely be telegraph machines here.

As long as a telegram comes from the capital, Jimo will immediately launch a city-wide search. When the time comes, places like inns and wharves will be the top priority.

"Please also ask Mr. Ono to rush to Yokohama as soon as possible, three days, the flight is a little tight."

"Hmmm! Mr. Guan, please rest assured, we were going to go back to the country in the next day or two. A lot of stuff has already been loaded onto the ship, and all you need to do is pack your belongings and you'll be able to hit the boat right away. Ono Jiro was very respectful to Zheng Mang, and after hearing Zheng Mang's request, he immediately asked his subordinates to pack up their things.

This made Zheng Mang overjoyed, what he lacked most now was time.

Ono Jiro gave an order, and the Japanese people in the courtyard immediately took action. I have to say that the execution of the Japanese people is leveraged, and it is only half an hour before and after.

The attendants loaded everything into the wagon, and the steward calculated the cost of the meal. Under the warm farewell of the boss, Jiro Ono and Zheng Mang got into the carriage.

The carriage whipped straight to the dock, and there were already fast horses galloping to the dock. After Zheng Mang and Jiro Ono arrived at the dock to board the ship, the pressure on the boiler had already begun to climb.

Jiro Ono was on a sailboat, a sailboat that had sails on board but also had a boiler.

The biggest advantage of this type of sailboat is that it can use a part of the wind power. Especially when the wind is downwind, it can make the speed faster, but it also saves coal.

Almost all of Northeast Asia's trade was carried out by such sailing ships.

Zheng Mang is no stranger to this kind of thing, and the Zheng family has a fleet of 100 sailboats.

Although the Zheng family promised Li Xiao that they would no longer have sea power. But the Zheng family was born in the maritime business, and there is still a fleet at sea. Of course, Li Xiao will not prevent the Zheng family from participating in maritime trade.

For the Ming Dynasty, the more people involved in maritime trade, the better. In that case, Daming will charge more customs duties!

Zheng Mang got on the sailboat, and the boiler had been successfully preheated. In Zheng Mang's anticipation, the captain of the sail let out a long whistle.

The huge iron anchor was retracted by the winch and the cable was untied.

The sailboat slowly left the dock and headed out into the dark sea. The helmsman looked in the direction of the lighthouse, revised the course, and the sailboat left the port without a hitch.

Just about two hours after Jiro Ono's sailboat left the dock, the inside of the Daming Huangdao Naval Base seemed to have exploded.

The soldiers lined up neatly, and then rushed to Jimo in a speedboat.

Soon, the errand officers and security forces in Jimo City also took action. They inspect every store, every place with a lot of people.

The coachman who had received a silver coin was soon found, and he trembled as he arrived at the inn with his soldiers. The innkeeper said that their guests had been with the Japanese for more than three hours.

"Where did they go?" The leading officer viciously grabbed Xiao Er's neck.

"The guest officer said that he was going to North Korea, but the villain only took two silver coins, and he didn't dare to do anything hurtful, my lord's life! Spare your life! The shopkeeper was so scared that his pants were about to pee, and he knew that the money was not easy to collect. But I didn't expect it to be so difficult to collect.

"North Korea ......!" The officer was helpless for a while, and it had been three hours since he went to North Korea. It's basically impossible to catch up, and the sea is vast. The devil knows where these people will go.

A great achievement, just slipped through his fingers, which made people resentful.

Looking at the shopkeeper who knelt on the ground with two silver coins in his hand and his head was about to be clubbed into the mud, he became angry. Kicked the person down and yelled, "Go to the docks!" ”

If you can't catch up, you have to chase it.

In this kind of thing, not being able to catch up is a matter of ability, and whether or not to catch up is a matter of attitude. Being an officer is also being an official, and there is a lot of knowledge in officialdom.

The night was already deep, and the waves were a bit big in winter. Although Jiro Ono's sailboat is not small, it is also very bumpy.

Although Zheng Mang was happy in his heart, he had a feeling of being trapped and out of the cage. However, soon Zheng Mang fell into another kind of pain.

He was seasick!

As a child of the Zheng family, Zheng Shuang can be said to have the blood of a maritime merchant in his body.

But this son of the Zheng family has hardly been on a boat in his life. The longest voyage was the voyage back to Fuzhou from the Wa Kingdom.

My brain was dizzy, and my temples ached.

Soon, Zheng Mang was holding the wooden barrel and vomiting. The strong wind and waves made him almost vomit his stomach.

The little food that I had just eaten on the boat in the evening had been vomited clean. Now I vomit nothing but bitter bile, which is sour water.

In comparison, doglegs are much better. After all, he is a minion, born in a maritime family, and the sea ship always runs a few times. This little bit of wind and waves can still withstand it.

Unlike the young master, spitting like this is simply a shame for maritime merchants.

However, the dog's legs can only be crooked in his heart, and he doesn't dare to say it at all. If Zheng Mang knew, God knows if this tyrannical master would throw him into the sea.

Zheng Mang was a little unlucky, and when the sailboat was downwind, he could use the power of the sail to speed up. But now it's winter, and it's blowing in the wind.

Sailing against the wind, the sailboat can only lower its sails and sail entirely on the power of a steam engine.

Although it is still tenacious in the wind and waves, the speed cannot be demanded.

It's easy to wait until the early morning when the sun comes out. Zheng Mang felt that he was about to die, and his stomach was empty, but when he saw the food, he still wanted to vomit.

Can you eat it...... It's a terrible feeling to be hungry.

The dog leg intimately brought Zheng Mang some porridge, as well as pickles that are often eaten by people on the sea.

White porridge and pickles, which would have been regarded as pig food by Zheng Mang in the past. Now, Zheng Mang, who has an empty stomach, also eats very sweetly.

After eating, my face is better.

I was just about to go to sleep in the cabin, but I didn't expect another gust of wind. The wind and waves on the sea suddenly intensified, and the huge waves crashed directly onto the deck of the ship.

The sailboat jolted violently as if it had made a swing, and Zheng Mang, who had just eaten breakfast, squirted out the white porridge and pickles that had just entered his stomach.

The sour smell in the cabin made people cry, but Zheng Mang couldn't care about his image at this time. Holding the barrel, vomiting vigorously.

Ono Jiro went to see Zheng Mang, and he didn't have any good ways to get seasick. I can only take out the crew's trick for seasickness and take a sleeping pill.

The so-called mixed water pill is actually a medicine that makes people sleep.

Sure enough, Zheng Mang quickly fell asleep in a daze after eating.
