Sure enough, it worked.

On the first day of the first month of the fourth year of Chongzhen, this day is known as the first day of the year.

In the name of celebrating the New Year, Shimazu Tadatsune, the first lord of the Satsuma Domain, came with his retainers and brought heavy gifts.

The retainers brought with him, in addition to the already familiar Shimazu Tadashiyo and Yamada Yuei, there are also several old middle-aged people.

Shimazu Hisamoto, Ise Sadamasa, Mihara Shigeko......

In addition, he brought 300 samurai.

In this group, except for Shimazu Tadashi, who was not wearing armor, the rest of the samurai were all clothed.

You can see that they are very careful.

Yang Chengying did not wear armor either, and invited King Shangfeng to the dock to greet him.

Give this "second generation official" enough face.

After all, although the original feudal lord was fifty-three years old, he was immature in many ways.

For example, when he was serving in Edo, the elder Naka Hishijima Kunitaka was in charge of the internal affairs, and some matters were decided before he could ask for instructions because of the long distance.

Shimazu Tadashi thought that he was "really a member of An Lushan", first confiscated his property, then exiled, and then made him seppuku.

What? Compare Hishishima Kunitaka to "An Rokushan"?

Yes, the level of Han culture of the Shimazu family is actually very high.

The two sides met and saluted each other.

Then we went to the Admiral's Palace, located southeast of Naha Port.

When I arrived at the Admiral's Palace, the door was only that wide, and it was covered with a red carpet.

It's very crowded for three people to walk side by side, which is so funny that outsiders look at the joke.

As a result, the order of walking immediately became the focus of attention of the samurai of the Satsuma Domain.

They thought that Yang Chengying would go ahead, so their eyes were cold, ready to do something at any time.

Yang Chengying's generals are not good at stubble.

They also press their hands on the hilt of their knives, ready to respond to unexpected situations.

The two sides are tense.

This made King Shangfeng suffer, and he didn't dare to offend left and right.

"Your Majesty, this is the Ryukyu Kingdom, and you, as the host, should be in the front."

Yang Chengying made a "please" gesture.

The Satsuma samurai were all taken aback.

The Liaodong Army's own family members also looked confused.

King Shangfeng was afraid that Yang Chengying was fake politeness, so he hurriedly excused himself: "The envoy of the Celestial Empire should go ahead, and Xiao Wang will follow." ”

It's humble.

Yang Chengying said: "The lord of Satsuma and I are both guests, how can there be a reason for guests to walk in front of the master, please go first." ”

King Shangfeng still didn't dare, he turned his head to look at Shimazu Tadashi.

Shimazu Tadashi felt that as long as Yang Chengying was not walking in front, he did not speak.

In this way, King Shangfeng dared to walk in front.

Behind him, Yang Chengying and Shimazu Tadashi were polite to each other, and then walked side by side.

"I heard that the general is erudite, but I don't know what books he has read?"

Tadashi Shimazu asked as he walked.

In this regard, he is very capitalized.

Even his son, Hu Shumaru, studied Confucian classics such as "Zhou Li" and "The Legend of the Spring and Autumn Ram".

He himself is familiar with the Four Books and the Five Classics, and often relies on this to show off with the Kyoto aristocracy.

Yang Chengying said: "I only read some miscellaneous books, and what I know and learn is very limited. ”

"Oh? What kind of book is it? Let's also understand one or two below. ”

Shimazu Tadashi did not believe it, believing that Yang Seung-ying was modest.

"Military Strategy, Military Thought, Military History, Military Operations Research, Operational Command ......"

Yang Chengying said a lot of subjects in one breath, "These are all basics, as well as military topography, knowledge of military arms and so on." ”

There are also basic disciplines, all of which Yang Chengying studied at the military academy.

In short, it's all tears.

Hearing this, Shimazu Tadashi and the Satsuma samurai were stunned.

After half a ring, Shimazu Tadashi asked in surprise, "These...... Don't you study the Four Books and the Five Classics? ”

He only knows the Confucian classics, as well as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms!

"Learn a little. But I'm a general, and of course I focus on fighting. ”

Yang Chengying said with a smile: "No, the enemy is coming, I'll call him 'Zhihu'." ”

The translator flipped through the pages and couldn't help but laugh.

Shimazu's expression became very strange.

His head was already burning, and he couldn't understand the other party's routine at all, so he had to take away his most proud ability.

Walking into the auditorium, the three sides are divided into east and west sides, and sit down at a rectangular table.

Yang Chengying and King Shangfeng were on one side, and Shimazu Tadashi and other Satsuma clans were on the side.

On the side of the Satsuma Domain, Shimazu Tadashi sits, and no one dares to sit.

They stood in a row behind Shimazu Tadashi.

On the other hand, Yang Chengying's side, except for Yang Chengying and King Shangfeng.

There are also Geng Zhongming, Xu Kang, Shi Daxuan, and Zheng Zhihu......

They are all future people who will be stationed in the port of Naha.

In an era of respect and order, Shimazu Tadashi did not understand it at all.

Not only him, but King Shangfeng was also restless.

I already have a dad on my head, and if I have a few more dads, how can I afford it.

"You people ......" Shimazu Tadashi glanced at them, feeling that he was being a little slighted.

They deserve to be on an equal footing with me.

"Please allow me to introduce that this is our Admiral in Naha Port - Geng Zhongming, that one is the diplomatic embassy, Ambassador Xu Kang, and this one is Shi Daxuan, the commander of the Naval Division stationed in the Ryukyus......"

Every time Yang Chengying introduced, the corresponding person stood up and hugged his fist at Shimazu Tadahiro.

When Yang Chengying introduced the person on his left, Shimazu Tadashi couldn't sit still at all.

"He's a translator, why are he sitting here!"

Shimazu said angrily.

Yang Chengying said very calmly: "This He Jize has been engaged in maritime trade for three generations. As a translator, in addition to translating the content, there is also taking notes.

We are not celebrating the New Year, we are negotiating.

Negotiation is a serious matter. ”

He Jize's old face was flushed, and his body trembled slightly.

Since then, it has been highly valued and emotional.

Seeing this, Shimazu Tadakiyo stepped forward and whispered: "Domain lord, the other party is hinting that he is prepared, and he is already preparing to be stationed in the Ryukyus for a long time. ”

This self-righteous explanation made Shimazu Tadashi understand at once.

He sat down: "Since it's a negotiation, then before the negotiation, I want to take a look at the biragima Hidaka who was caught by you, it's not too much." ”

"No problem." Yang Chengying glanced at Cao Bianjiao behind him.

Cao Bianjiao understood and went out immediately.

A moment later, brought Birch Mountain Hidaka.

These days as a prisoner have made this old man's face a little haggard.

As soon as he saw Shimazu Zhongheng, he wanted to come forward and bow down, but was pulled by Cao Bianjiao.

A famous fighter in history, catching a certain age is not yet a handle.

"Lord, save me!" Kayama Hisaka couldn't break free, so he had to plead with Shimazu Tadatsune.

When the Satsuma samurai saw this, he wanted to come to his rescue.

The generals of the Liaodong Army all stepped forward and blocked them with their bodies.

The two sides are once again in a tense situation.

Yang Chengying looked at Shimazu Tadashi: "Your Excellency is not here to negotiate, but to fight?" ”

Shimazu Tadashi listened, was silent for a while, and then raised his hand to signal his subordinates to retreat.

The two sides are separated.
