366, the country of suffering [2/2]
"It's not right to rob a woman to be a maid!" Yi Yun taught very seriously: "You are now an official, you can no longer act like a bandit, go and call the robbed maids, I will send them some silver, and send them back to their hometown." ”
Zheng Zhilong also felt a little embarrassed, he was already an official of the Great Meng Kingdom, although he was just a guerrilla who did not enter the stream, but he was confident that he would soon grab his own territory, Ryukyu Island was his next target, he planned to be named the governor of Ryukyu, this robbery of women to be a maid was exposed, and his face was a little unbearable.
"Call those maids over, I will arrange them well!" Zheng Zhilong shouted to his second brother Zheng Zhihu: "In the future, you are not allowed to rob women to be maids." ”
"This ...... Obviously you robbed it......" Zheng Zhihu muttered and reluctantly entered the cabin.
In a short time, twenty maids were sent over. Yi Yun felt a little weird as soon as he saw it, these women seemed to be a little wrong, but looking left and right, he couldn't feel that something was wrong, anyway, in a word, it was not the same as the women Yi Yun usually came into contact with, mainly because of the different temperament.
This group of maids walked in front of Yi Yun, their heads lowered, and they didn't dare to take a breath, they knelt in front of them respectfully, lined up in a row, and their kneeling posture was extremely humble, their knees were on the ground, and their heads were buckled to the ground, and the whole person was prostrate.
When Yi Yun saw this action, it suddenly dawned on him that this action had been seen by Oda Nori at the beginning, and this was a great gift from the Fuso people to the noble daimyo and samurai.
"Are these maids from Fusang?" asked Yi Yun.
"That's right, it's a Fusang woman!" Zheng Zhilong said embarrassedly: "My wife is from Fusang and likes Fusang's maids, so I got some Fusang women to serve her." ”
It turned out that Zheng Zhilong had been in Fusang for a long time when he was young, and he studied swordsmanship on Fuso Kyushu Island. Befriended Weng Yihuang, an overseas Chinese blacksmith from Fujian, who, although a Chinese, married the widow of the Fuso Tagawa family and adopted the daughter of his wife and her ex-husband. The blacksmith felt that Zheng Zhilong was a good person, so he gave this adopted daughter to Zheng Zhilong, and this daughter was surnamed Tian Chuan with her biological father, which was later known as Tian Chuan, or was called Mrs. Weng. Zheng Chenggong's biological mother.
He said a little embarrassedly: "I have realized that it is not right to rob women. Just give them money and send them away......"
"Wait!" Yi Yun suddenly smiled: "I thought you were robbing a woman from the Da Meng Kingdom to be a maid, of course that is not good, that's why I said you are wrong! But ...... Rob women from other countries to have fun and bully them. No problem! No problem, no problem at all. ”
The people next to him sweated profusely, this prince, the limelight turned so fast, and when he saw that these women were Fusang women, his attitude suddenly changed.
At this time, Zhu Qingqing clapped his hands as if he didn't understand. She was educated by Yi Yun about the interests of the country and the people, so she said loudly: "I understand, arresting women from other countries did not harm their own people, but benefited their own people, so this practice is just." ”
"Haha, you stupid woman has finally opened her mind. Yi Yun smiled and patted her head and said, "Well said." It's just, and it's totally fine. ”
Yi Yun smiled and said, "I'll take these maids." You can feel free to fight, scold or scold, it doesn't matter, anyway, it's not from our big buddy country, since it's not from our own country, then don't treat them as people. ”
Zheng Zhilong: "......"
But the problem came again, these women could use them to upgrade, and if they wanted to upgrade their artillery, Yi Yun refused again, how could there be any reason to use women from other countries to upgrade? He was hesitating...... A kneeling maid suddenly spoke, and what she said was actually a very standard Da Meng language, not Fusang language: "Lord Wang...... Please don't treat me as a Fusang person, the maid yearns for the culture of the Celestial Empire, voluntarily joins the Great Meng Country, and no longer a Fusang person. ”...,
"Oh?" Yi Yun was interested: "Tell me, why! If you say it well, I will treat you as my own person, and if you don't say it well, you should not be regarded by others." ”
The woman got Yi Yun's permission, and she was a little bolder, knelt on the ground, and said without raising her head: "We are poor there...... Eighty percent of the income from the crops grown in the fields was given to the daimyo, and only twenty percent could be kept for himself...... My family used to eat vegetable soup all year round, not even rice, and as for sugar cubes and meat buns, I had never seen them...... But since I came to Dameng Country and worked as a maid for Mrs. Tagawa, my life has been better than that of Mrs. Fuso Daimyo, I have rice to eat every day, occasionally meat, and some sweet pastries...... I really don't want to go back!"
The woman spoke, and the maidservants kneeling next to her responded: "Yes, we are the same!"
This servant girl is not lying, Fusang in this era is actually very, very poor. What the common people eat is not what people eat at all, and it is rare for the daimyo to eat a good one. In Fuso, you can eat a bowl of white rice and a few pickles and radishes, and that's a great life. A sugar cube is a very high-end commodity in Fuso, and those famous daimyo have to feel distressed for a long time to enjoy a piece of sugar, worried about whether their expenses will exceed the standard this month.
Maybe some friends don't believe it, but that's the case, there are many daimyo in Fuso who have engaged in dieting activities to advocate everyone to save, the famous Yushiba Hideyoshi, when he was the lord of Nagahama Castle, as a city lord, he often can't eat enough, there are records in the history books and the folklore of Fuso: Hideyoshi didn't eat at home, and he adopted a bunch of children (Shidaku Seven Guns), in order to ensure that the children who were growing up well, Hideyoshi often didn't eat, and was so hungry that he cried in his wife's arms.
To put it mildly, Fusang in this era is a country of hard work, and it is extremely hard to be forced to do so! And it is precisely because of the hard work of others that it has very strong combat effectiveness and aggressiveness. Since ancient times, the more bitter the place, the more war maniacs have appeared. For example, the nomads on the prairie are typical hard-working peoples, who made several dynasties in the Central Plains tremble, only Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was not afraid, and the Yuan Dynasty retreated to the grassland after playing, while other emperors were bullied by the nomads.
This is another answer to the old saying, poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, this word has a level, and you can't accept it. Why do you say why Zhu Yuanzhang is not afraid of Diao Min? Because Zhu Yuanzhang is poorer, he was born as a cattle herder, and his family starved to death, and he was the only one left to die.
Some people say that Zhu Yuanzhang's son, Zhu Di, is not afraid of Mongolia! Why don't I mention it? Because he took over the belongings left to him by Zhu Yuanzhang, otherwise he might not be Meng Yuan's opponent of Diaomin, so I won't talk about him.
It's far away again, but let's go back to the story!
The maid from Fusang has gone from a country of hardship to a country of flowers, from a life where she can't afford to eat, to a life where she occasionally eats sugar and meat, how can she go back? She has already regarded herself as a member of the country of Dameng, so she has learned a standard language of Dameng.
Yi Yun listened to her words, but he believed in her sincerity a little, who doesn't yearn for this beautiful life? The people of the country of hard work yearn for a better life here, and it is understandable, since they have the intention of abandoning the darkness and turning to the light, they can barely treat her as a human being.
"Then let me ask you a question!" Yi Yun sneered, "If I were to attack Fusang in the future, would you support me or oppose me?"
The Fusang maid didn't think about it, and immediately said: "The prince wants to liberate the suffering compatriots of Fusang, so that they can break free from the rule of the evil emperor and live a happy life, of course the servant is fully supportive." ”...,
"Tsk, that's a good point, there's a level!" Yi Yun laughed and said: "You have passed the test, get up! You have to remember what I said today, if one day I start to fight Fusang, it will be to save the people of Fusang from the miserable life, not some kind of aggression." ”
Speaking of this, Yi Yun couldn't help but think of the favorite excuses used by the United States when attacking other countries in later generations, what to liberate the people from tyranny, protect human rights, or whatever, and find some messy excuses! Dude, I actually learned the same way as the United States, tsk, it can be seen that bad people do bad things, and it is easy to bring bad children.
In addition to this maid, the nineteen Fusang maids in addition to others are almost the same, it seems that they have lived in the big cute country for a long time, and they have all been assimilated by the big cute country, and they have indeed become the people of the big cute country.
Yi Yun first asked them to sign the deed of sale to prove that they were already his domestic servants, and then he brought them into the cabin, and walked out after a while, followed by three Fusang female artillerymen!
"General Zheng, these three female artillerymen will be lent to you. Yi Yun said with a smile: "In the future, I will give you three every day, a total of fifteen for you, alas, I only have fifteen artillery promotion certificates in hand!"
"Wow, fifteen is pretty remarkable. Zheng Zhilong was overjoyed and said: "It can already bring extremely powerful artillery combat capabilities, I really don't know how to thank the prince, what do you want, just say ......."
"I haven't figured out what I want, I'll tell you in a few days!" said Yiyun with a smile.
At this time, a woman's exclamation suddenly sounded on Zheng Zhilong's boat, and then Yi Yun saw a royal sister rushing over in a hurry, it was Zheng Zhifeng!
She exclaimed: "You really have the certificate of promotion as an artilleryman? Amazing! There are as many as fifteen of them! Can you save one and use it for me, I have long wanted to be an artilleryman!"
"Shenma?" Yi Yun Great Khan: "As one of the Eighteen Zhi, you should be very powerful, right, and you can also afford a second-order profession?"
Zheng Zhifeng's mouth pursed, and he said depressedly: "My position in the Eighteen Zhizhi is only because of my brother Zheng Zhilong, in fact, I am just a tragic second-order 'archer', I don't do it, I don't want to be an 'archer', this profession simply gives people a feeling of a rotten miscellaneous soldier, throwing a handful of stones on the street, you can also hit one or two 'archers', I want to change jobs! I want to be a powerful rare profession!" (To be continued......)
