Time flies very slowly on board. Fortunately, with the help of Jiang Yuanwai, Yu Ren's food and accommodation problems on the ship were solved. Since there was nowhere to go, Yu Ren didn't know anyone on the ship except Jiang Yuan, so he hid in the cabin and bragged to Cao An and Cao Wenzhao, and sometimes practiced martial arts.

Cao Wenzhao and Cao An's outstretched hands are much stronger than Yu Ren, and Yu Ren has learned three moves and two styles under the guidance of these two people. However, as Cao Wenzhao analyzed, Yu Ren's only strength is his strength, and his weakness is that his martial arts skills are too poor.

The two combined Yu Ren's strengths and weaknesses, and believed that if he was to fight against someone, the most effective way should be to attack with the most direct and fastest moves, and as for defense, if he was forced to defend, it would not work. Because the attack is active, you have a choice. But the defense is passive, you don't have a choice. This is a much higher requirement for martial arts.

Yu Ren was also well aware of his own shortcomings, so in the past few days on the ship, he only chose the most direct and effective offensive moves to learn, and spent a lot of effort to practice these ten moves.

In addition, Yu Ren took advantage of this quiet time on the boat to tidy up the books in the basket that Cao An was carrying. These are all left over from his previous life. Yu Ren originally thought that since his predecessor was a talent, he would come out to study, and the book basket should be filled with books such as the Four Books and the Five Classics.

However, when he opened the book basket, Yu Ren found that the books in this basket, except for a copy of "Zuo's Spring and Autumn", were all miscellaneous books. There are also several books that he is familiar with, such as "The Art of War" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". In addition, there is a book of swords. This sword book has no name, but a description is written on the front page, and it was given to him by his famous uncle Yu Dayou in his early years, and a stranger he met in a temple. Since he practiced the swordsmanship in this book, his swordsmanship has grown greatly, which has given him the reputation of being the first in the world in swordsmanship.

Looking at the book, it should be a transcription copy.

Yu Ren was not stingy, took out this sword book, and studied it with Cao An and Cao Wenzhao. However, both of them are people who are used to wild roads, and they are not interested in one move or one style on the sword spectrum. And Yu Ren couldn't understand it at all. As a result, the book was thrown aside. However, although he couldn't understand it, Yu Ren still took out the book alone and held it in his arms. The reason is simple, because it is the only one of these books that money can't buy.

More often than not, it's still bragging. Yu Ren's insight and vision naturally made these two young people four hundred years ago very happy. And some of the details of modern life that he told them in a mythological way made these two boys worship him like a god.

Because Cao An and Cao Wenzhao have the same surname, they are of the same age, and they get along very well. Even when they slept at night, the two were huddled together.

Of course, these days, Yu Ren also has a lot of gains. Although he couldn't find out the origin of the small flag in his hand from Jiang Yuanwai's mouth. But I learned a lot about the current world from the mouths of Cao An and Cao Wenzhao. Including some national events, military conditions, local customs, unspoken rules of officialdom and so on. It's almost all-encompassing.

What surprised Yu Ren the most was Daming's current technology, which he learned from Cao Wenzhao's mouth. In the current Ming army, most of the battles are dominated by firearms.

Although this Cao Wenzhao was born in the Northeast, it was because his father was a middle- and lower-level officer in the Ming army. Cao Wenzhao followed his father in and out of the military camp since he was a child, and he not only practiced martial arts, but also knew very well about the various weapons used on the battlefield.

For the Jurchens, Cao Wenzhao knows very much. Because the city of Fushun where he lives is surrounded by Jurchens. There were often a large number of Jurchens in the city to and fro. From the mouths of these Jurchens, Cao Wenzhao knew a lot of Jurchen information that even the Ming Jinyi Guards could not know.

He knew that the leader of the Jurchens was called Nurhachi, an old man in his sixties. It is also known that there are four major Baylors under his command, namely Daishan, Amin, Mang Gurtai and Huang Taiji.

Whenever Cao Wenzhao talked about these Jurchen things, Yu Ren listened very carefully. Because he knows that the future world will belong to this group of people who are not well known to the people of the Ming Dynasty and temporarily live in the mountains and forests of the Northeast.

Yu Ren wanted to ask more details about the four Baylors, especially the Four Baylor Emperor Taiji, because he knew that in the near future, this person would become the new commander of the Jurchens. However, Cao Wenzhao has only heard the names of these four Baylors, and as for the detailed scenes, he doesn't know. Of course, Cao Wenzhao didn't understand why Yu Ren was so interested in these people who sounded like they had nothing to do with his life.

"I only once listened to a few Jurchens in the market." Cao Wenzhao blushed slightly.

"What else do you know about the Jurchens?"

Cao Wenzhao thought for a while, "I still know what the Eight Banners their army is divided into. It is said that there are more than 100,000 people. I have seen several times the Jurchens who came to Fushun City to trade, and they all carried flags. ”

When Yu Ren heard this, he couldn't help but think of a sentence that the teacher had said in history class before, "The Jurchens are not satisfied with ten thousand, and they are invincible in the world." He whispered the words in his mouth.

Yu Ren finally understood why the Ming Dynasty had such a crushing defeat in the Battle of Sarhu. Because the Jurchens at this time were already so powerful. Their 100,000 people, even if they pulled away, would not lose in an open battle with the 130,000 people of the Ming Dynasty. But Da Ming was still conceited that he was in a military advantage, and actually drove the army to the base of the Jurchens, so that the Jurchens could take advantage of the territory.

However, at the same time, Yu Ren had another thing that he couldn't figure out. Since the Jurchens were already so powerful at this time. Even the 130,000 elite tax division of the Ming Dynasty was about to be wiped out by him, why would he be severely defeated by Yuan Chonghuan in the next time?

How did Yuan Chonghuan defeat Nurhachi? This question made Yu Ren even more puzzled. Could it be that this is a false record of history? Yu Ren knew that this was absolutely impossible.

After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of a clue, so Yu Ren decided to let go of the problem and stop thinking about it. This is the way he has always dealt with problems, and if he can't figure it out for a while, he will put it aside for the time being.

Cao Wenzhao was still talking about the various things he had seen about the Jurchens in Fushun City. Yu Ren didn't have the heart to listen to it anymore.

After more than half a month, the merchant ship finally arrived in Hangzhou Bay. When they arrived at the dock, the sailors set up a springboard, and some anxious guests were already waiting there with large and small luggage.

Yu Ren thought of Jiang Yuanwai's care for him in the past few days, and felt that he was about to get off the boat, so he still had to go and say hello to him.

So, Yu Ren handed over the luggage to Cao An and Cao Wenzhao, and asked them to wait for him outside after getting off the boat, and not to walk around. Then, Yu Ren went to Chiang's cabin to say goodbye to him.

However, when Yu Ren arrived at Jiang Yuanwai's cabin, he learned that Jiang Yuanwai went to count the goods and was not in the cabin. Yu Ren didn't care, so he said to the subordinate outside Jiang Yuan, who was left in the cabin, and prepared to disembark.

Yu Ren stepped onto the gangplank, and most of the passengers on the boat had already disembarked. From a distance, Yu Ren saw Cao An and Cao Wenzhao waving to him with a few burdens. Yu Ren was about to rush over when he heard someone behind him calling him urgently.

"Yu Xianggong, Yu Xianggong."

Yu Ren turned around and saw that it was Jiang Yuanwai running towards him panting with one of his men. Yu Ren hurried up to catch up.

"I'm sorry. I just went to your cabin, and you weren't there. Yu Ren arched his hand and said to Jiang Yuanwai. In the past few days, thank you for your care. If there is a useful place for me to have an affair in the future, please feel free to say it. As long as I Yu Ren is within my ability, I will do my best. ”

Jiang Yuanwai has paid for so many days, and what he wants to get is Yu Ren's promise, and now that he finally heard it, the old man was moved and almost burst into tears. In fact, Yu Ren also knows it very well in his heart. But he didn't say it until the last moment of disembarkation, and he didn't think too much, but because he felt that this kind of thing was only suitable for saying it at this kind of breakup.

When Jiang Yuanwai heard this, he was overjoyed. Hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Prime Minister Yu is serious. There is a way that the tiger fell into Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, and I believe that Yu Xianggong will be a hero among people. Little Lao'er's hospitality is not enough to worry about! It's a pity that I can't drink with Yu Xianggong anymore. ”

As he spoke, Jiang Yuanwai took a burden from the subordinate behind him and handed it to Yu Ren. "There are five hundred taels of silver in it, which can be regarded as Cheng Yi given by the little old man to Yu Xianggong! In addition, it also contains the address of Xiao Lao'er in Hangzhou. Yu Xianggong is in the sky, you might as well go to the little old man's house to play for a few days. If you encounter inconvenience at hand, even if you say it bluntly. ”

Yu Ren didn't expect that this Jiang Yuanwai was really generous, and it was five hundred taels as soon as he made a move. This silver really solved his immediate need. But he must have met with this Jiang Yuanwai Pingshui and mixed a few meals, but it was nothing, but to say that he received so much money from this old man, although Yu Ren praised himself as the most cheeky in the world, he was embarrassed to accept it.

"This, how dare you do this?" As soon as Yu Ren heard that it was five hundred taels, he had to return the burden.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuanwai was anxious when he saw it. He grabbed Yu Ren's hands. "Yu Xianggong, isn't it too stingy to earn a little old man? Or do you think that the little old man can't be friends? ”

Yu Ren heard the old man say such words, and knew that he was a sincere gift, so he no longer shirked. "Well, thank you."

Jiang Yuanwai happily took his subordinates away, although he gave someone else five hundred taels, the old man seemed to be happier than others gave him five hundred taels.

Yu Ren looked at the old man's happy departure, and couldn't help muttering in his heart: "It's him two!" Or am I two? ”
