Chapter 21: The Tragic Fate of the Wake
Zheng He-class slowly left Edo Port, but this time there was only one, and it was Song Yingxing's.
Previously, after the Edo side received the news that Song Yingxing was coming to recuperate, they sent two Zheng He-class escorts mainly to show goodwill. There are no pirates in the waters of the Wa Kingdom, and there is no need for escorts. It should be said that except for the South Seas, there are no pirates in the entire sea area around Daming.
There used to be, and there were many, but the pirates around the mainland either fed the fish or worked as serfs in the Annam Metropolitan Protectorate. And the famous Japanese who once stirred up the Daming coastline are now all working as mining slaves in Sado Jinshan, and they will never see the sun for life.
The reason why the Ming Navy came out of the Southern Army is here: the northern seas do not need a navy.
So when I met a seafarer in Daming, if he had a northern accent, he was basically from a treasure ship based on transportation or merchant ships, and most of those with a southern accent were from Zheng He's class in the battleship department.
Zu Dashou's nephew, Wu Sangui, pointed to several Nanyang-class treasure ships in Edo Port and asked, "Lord Song, didn't those treasure ships go to Dongshan Prefecture with people's husbands, why don't they pretend to be Japanese slaves?" ”
"That's a good question." Song Yingxing recuperated in Edo Castle for a few days, and his spirit finally recovered a lot: "When immigration began in Dongshan Prefecture, His Majesty signed a decree: for 10 years, Japanese slave men who immigrated were not allowed to go to Dongshan Prefecture. ”
"Lord Song, why is this?"
"I don't know." Song Yingxing shook his head and replied to Yang Changbai: "Not only Dongshan Prefecture, but also the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate does not allow immigrant Japanese slave men. ”
"Basically, with the exception of Minamifuso Island, which we occupy, all Japanese slave men who are called Honshu Island and Shikoku Island by the Japanese people are not allowed to leave these two islands. It was only in the past few years that Japanese women began to be emigrated to the Annam Prefecture and Dongsan Prefecture, and at first they also existed as comfort soldiers. ”
Although Song Yingxing said very vaguely, the three young people all understood, but when they thought of the ghost-like makeup of the Japanese women, they immediately felt sad for the many soldiers in the Annan Prefecture and Dongshan Prefecture.
In fact, they still think too much, although ordinary Japanese women are not very good-looking, and they are generally short, but the soldiers who are bitter and haha don't care about this.
Even if this Ming Dynasty is full of martial virtues comparable to the three dynasties of the strong Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty and the Tyranny Yuan, most of the soldiers belong to the bottom people, and for the bottom people before the industrial revolution, it is already very satisfying to have a woman to reproduce offspring.
Sun Xin also asked: "Then why can Dongyi slaves immigrate?" Are they outsiders? ”
"After all, Goryeo has been a vassal of our Celestial Empire for thousands of years, and it has been deeply influenced by our Han culture, and there is a yearning and fear for the Celestial Empire in my heart. Their ruling class was all killed by the Japanese people, except for a small number of people, in fact, the Goryeo people accepted the rule of the Ming Dynasty very quickly, and they can basically be regarded as a branch of our Han people. ”
"And although the Japanese people are also influenced by the Celestial Empire, they have evolved their own system on the island, they are not a branch of our Han people, and they even wanted to invade the Ming Dynasty back then, and their hearts will be different if they are not of our race."
"There have always been people in the court who speculated that His Majesty did not let the Japanese immigrants punish them because the letter of persuasion from the Japanese puppet emperor angered His Majesty."
The three young people seemed to understand.
They understand the truth that the hearts of the Japanese people are not of our race, and they agree with it. But I don't understand why it is a punishment to not allow the Japanese to emigrate, or even lock them up on the island.
Song Yingxing didn't explain, mainly because he was worried that his three students and subordinates were not experienced enough, and they would have some bad thoughts after knowing the truth.
What is the current state of the islands of Honshu and Shikoku in Wakoku?
The 8 words of Yizi and eating, and analyzing the remains and planing can be perfectly interpreted.
After the defeat of the Japanese state, in addition to being cut off from Minamifuso, that is, the island of Kyushu in the Japanese population, Tokugawa Ieyasu also made the Japanese country bear a huge amount of compensation. This compensation was carefully calculated by the Ming Household Department after investigating on the island for half a year, and according to His Majesty's will, it just squeezed out all the potential of the Japanese Kingdom, but it would not let them riot.
It can be understood as hanging the last breath of the Wa Kingdom.
But the upper class of the Japanese people will not live a hard life on their own, how can their happiness stop because the Japanese people eat soil and gnaw trees?
Therefore, the Japanese people are really miserable, so miserable that the Japanese people who were oppressed by the Ming Dynasty on South Fuso Island can have a great sense of happiness and satisfaction when they look at the former compatriots of Shikoku Island and Honshu Island.
It is understandable why the Japanese women desperately sold themselves as slaves to leave the Japanese country, even if they went to the barracks to be a soldier's vent, they were not willing to stay in their hometown.
The treatment suffered by the two sides is largely the same, but not only is there not enough to eat in their own hometown, but it is likely to become food for others.
Some people in the imperial court are actually a little unbearable to the appearance of hell on earth in the territory of the Japanese Kingdom, and this situation has lasted for more than 20 years, even if it is enough to punish the Japanese people.
In the spirit of the Celestial Empire, they proposed to simply give the Japanese a way out and go to the Annam Metropolitan Protectorate and Dongshan Prefecture as slaves, but the cabinet never passed.
However, the grapevine says: the one who really disagrees is not the cabinet, but His Majesty.
When I talk about this matter behind closed doors, I will slander Your Majesty's anger back then, whether it is a little bit angry. But when I thought about it, the hearts of those who were not of my race would be different, and these officials stopped talking.
Song Yingxing also felt that His Majesty was a little petty, and the territory of the Japanese State could still provide tens of millions of laborers, and whether it was to go to the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate or Dongshan Prefecture to liberate it, it would be excellent.
Because he was too sensitive, he didn't want to talk about this topic, and looked at a Nanyang-class treasure ship on the outermost part of the port. As he passed by the treasure ship, the sea breeze brought an indescribable aroma.
"What! So fragrant? ”
Sun Xin and the others also smelled it, and many sailors also widened their eyes, looking at the sea, thinking that there was some treasure.
As they approached the treasure ship, they realized that the fragrance had come from the treasure ship.
"Liu Yifeng, what is this?" The captain put down the wooden bowl in his hand, and the food that had been in it made him unsatisfied.
"Camellia oleifera, maybe also called Sanhe noodles."
Liu Yifeng took the captain's wooden bowl, poured a spoonful of pale yellow powder with lumpy particles into it, then poured hot water, stirred it with a wooden spoon, and returned the viscous paste containing its unsightly appearance to the captain.
That's what the captain asked.
"Although it's a paste, it's quite hungry, I heard that it was General Qi's military rations back then."
Sanhe noodles are indeed rumored to be military rations developed by Qi Jiguang, but in fact, fried flour is a cooking technique that has been found in many places in the Central Plains after the invention of the iron pot in the Song Dynasty. However, the Sanhe noodles of Fujian, the camellia noodles of Bashu and the camellia oleifera in the Northeast have all improved, and the calories and nutrients are much higher.
The Sanhe noodles in Fujian are fried with shallots and a lot of sugar, while the camellia noodles in Bashu and the camellia in the Northeast are the same kind of method, without putting shallots but all kinds of nuts, and the taste is salty and sweet.
But whether it is fried shallots or chopped nuts, the calories of camellia noodles are very high.
The captain drank another bowl of oil tea, put down the bowl and said to Liu Yifeng: "All the broken cans of flour are fried." ”
"Yes, Captain."
Liu Yifeng suddenly wanted to make oil tea noodles, mainly because he wanted to eat them. Two crew members made a mistake and accidentally knocked over 5 cans of flour.
However, after experiencing yesterday's incident where the captain questioned why he made noodles for the people, Liu Yifeng had a little more heart, and first fried a pot for the captain and the captain to taste it at the top of the ship.
In terms of oil tea, Liu Yifeng, a Bashu person, likes to eat sweet, but yesterday he used too much sugar to make braised pork and stir-fry sugar, and the captain didn't let him use it, so he could only make salty food. The shallots can only be replaced with garlic and chopped green onions, and then chopped peanuts, walnuts and chestnuts are also added.
This is neither the Northeast nor Fujian, nor the Bashu camellia noodles, but still easily conquered the captain and other high-level officials.
"But captain, you can't put this thing in it, it's quite a lot after 5 cans are fried."
In fact, it is okay to leave it for 3 or 4 days, but the captain does not understand, and he thinks that many foods must be eaten when they are made. And he also understands that Liu Yifeng, a stinky boy, wants to fight for some welfare for his people's younger brothers.
"Let's drink first, and what we can't drink is yours."
"No problem!"
Liu Yifeng was not going to give all the people to drink, the amount was not enough, he only considered the middle and high-level people among the people.
Last night's fish noodle soup had captured the hearts of all the people, and his position among the people was much more stable now than when he was in Jinzhou Port. But there are still people in the other 4 trading houses who are not too convinced by him, especially after seeing that Liu Yifeng has almost left the people and become a member of the ship and enjoys privileges.
Do not suffer from few, but suffer from unevenness.
Liu Yifeng just wants to say to those people: I am engaged in privileges to help you make profits.
The captain didn't want to give the good thing of oil tea noodles to the people to eat, but Liu Yifeng picked a good time, and he deliberately chose to start frying oil tea 1 hour after breakfast. Then for breakfast, he made fried dead dough cakes with fish soup.
Protein, soup, oil, unfermented dead noodle cakes, all of them are stomach-supporting, although these crew members think that the camellia noodles are delicious, but they really can't drink a few bowls, and finally Liu Yifeng still let the minfu take two cans of camellia noodles back to the minfu cabin.
The aroma of fried oil tea can be smelled by the people on the Zheng He class who pass by, and the people in the cabin have naturally smelled it for a long time. Their breakfast is water with dead dough cakes, and even if they are full, everyone will be full of salivation.
The main thing is that Liu Yifeng made it, and many people think of the bowl of noodles yesterday, and their saliva instantly wets the placket on their chests.
"I don't know if we have a share, it's something made by the big boss."
Liu Yifeng's mouth fetish has spread: "You're thinking about fart!" ”
"Such a fragrant thing is the same as yesterday's braised pork, it must be eaten by the crew."
"Hey......"
After figuring this out, everyone suddenly became depressed.
The leaders of the two comptoirs glanced at each other and began to drill into the corner in tacit understanding.
Feng Shuo looked at the two of them coldly, and turned his head to find that Li Hongji was also looking at the two. Both of them knew that the two were plotting to overthrow Liu Yifeng's position as the big leader, and rumors had been circulating among the people that Liu Yifeng had betrayed them to have his status on the ship.
Feng Shuo snorted coldly and walked over directly.
