Saying that this young man recommended himself is not a spoof, but a social behavior that he thinks is very normal.

Among the Japanese samurai community, there is a long history of foundation. However, at different stages, the pattern of cultivating the base was different, and unlike the Edo period, which was a lot of confusion, the more subtle 'small surname culture' was popular in this era.

So the small surname originally referred to the attendants around the shogun. Later, it also referred to the attendants around the daimyo and the minamito.

This is very easy to understand, most of the attendants in ancient and modern China and abroad have this role, such as scholars to scholars, European attendants to knights, and Japanese temples to monks.

This is not only a means of emergency, but also mixed with loyalty and obedience, simply put, after the small surname is dedicated to the lord, it can be regarded as his own person, trusted and reused.

After the lord accepts the self-recommended pillow of the small surname, he can be regarded as his own person and get more loyal work from his subordinates.

Therefore, Shao Er Lai Pi didn't think there was anything wrong with his behavior, but thought that Yang Shiqi's refusal and disgust were very rude, and refused to communicate with him for a while.

Yang Shiqi took a deep breath and wrote on the paper: 'Get down to business. ’

Shao Erlai Pi nodded coldly.

'Was last night's naval battle impressive?' Yang Shiqi wrote again.

Shao Er Lai Pi was silent for a long time, and Fang nodded again.

According to preliminary statistics, the Kyushu Navy lost more than 1,500 warships, and none of the officers and men on board were spared. Yang Shiqi continued: "All the ships of our army are basically intact, and less than 100 people are killed. ’

Not so much. Lai Pi wrote anxiously: "From a downward point of view, our army's losses are no more than hundreds, but not thousands!" ’

'Our army set up an ambush at the mouth of the bay to block the retreating enemy, and your warships collided and entangled with each other, and none of them could escape, until most of them were sunk before they could pass. Yang Shiqi patiently explained.

'-' Shao Erlai Pi sighed and drew a thick horizontal bar on the paper. to express one's feelings, it can be regarded as the earliest emoji.

'Not much, thou hast not benefited. Yang Shiqi sighed and wrote: "Huai Liangye, the enemy of the imperial court, is not a young family. In the past, the Great Baoyuan battle, the Ru family was defeated by the hands of the Western Mansion, why bother to work for it today? ’

Shao Er Lai Pi was silent for a long time, and wrote down: "It is incumbent on you to defend Kyushu. ’

"Hahaha." Yang Shiqi burst into laughter and wrote: 'A hundred years ago, your ancestors also thought of this, but what did they get? ’

"......" Shao Er Lai Pi was silent again, this is still the family history he introduced to Yang Shiqi before.

The original surname of the Kyushu Shaoji clan was Muto, and its ancestor Muto Shiyori was a famous military commander at the end of the Heian period, and he succeeded in jumping back against the team, and after the establishment of the Kamakura shogunate, he served as the governor of Zhenxi, and since then he has taken root in Kyushu.

His descendants served as the Dazaifu Junior Elder for generations, so he was renamed the Junior Elder Clan.

At that time, the Shoji clan also served as the guardian of the two islands of Chikugo, Chikuzen, Bunzen, Hizen, Tsushima, and Iki Shikoku, and had the right to adjudicate lawsuits and judgments over the entire territory of Kyushu, the Imperial Family, and the Imperial Family...... That is, the military mobilization right of the samurai directly under the shogun.

In addition, because he is in charge of the daily affairs of Dazaifu and has some power over foreign trade and diplomatic negotiations, he absolutely dominates Kyushu and is like the king of the western border.

However, a hundred years ago, the two Yuan dynasties struck and changed the political landscape of Kyushu.

The Kanto Kamakura shogunate, which had long been dissatisfied with the domination of Kyushu by the young two families, took advantage of the fact that Kyushu was difficult to support alone and needed local support.

greatly replaced many guardians of the western country, and cut the power of Shaoji, Otomo, and Shimazu by more than half.

Then step by step, he deprived the Shao Er clan of its military, foreign trade, diplomatic, judicial and other powers in Dazaifu, making the Shao Er clan no different from ordinary daimyo.

Of course, the Shao Er clan was extremely dissatisfied with this, and even the full of volunteers became the words 'expel Dongyi and recover Kyushu'.

Therefore, at this time, Yang Shiqi mentioned what happened to the Shao Er family a hundred years ago, which was immediate.

I saw that the young Erlai Pi's breathing became heavy, and he was obviously reminded of the unbearable family memory.

He picked up his pen and wrote: 'I am inseparable from Dongyi! ’

'What is Dongyi?' Yang Shiqi asked.

'A man of the Kanto Imperial Court. Shao Erlai Pi wrote indignantly.

'Is the general of the Northern Dynasty counted?' Yang Shiqi asked again.

Of course. Shao Erlai Pi nodded heavily.

'Is Huailiang counted?' Yang Shiqi asked again.

Shao Erlai Pi hesitated for a moment and wrote: 'The same is ......'

Yang Shiqi smiled: "Wake up, idiot." ’

Shao Er Lai Pi fell into a long silence, and only after a while did he pick up his pen again and ask, 'Is it really only for Huailiang?' ’

'It depends. Yang Shiqi definitely wrote: "As long as the Shao Er family cooperates, you can not wait for you." ’

'Hand over Huailiang? Shao Erlai Pi asked.

'And submit to the Ming Dynasty. Yang Shiqi wrote.

We are the Emperor's courtiers. 'Shao Erlai Pi was embarrassed to write.

The word "emperor" is really an arrogance, and Hugh must mention it again. Yang Shiqi wrote with a serious expression: "Since the Eastern Han Dynasty accepted the canonization, Japan has always been a vassal of the Celestial Empire, and King Ru is a courtier of the Emperor of the Celestial Empire. ’

There was a burst of anger on Shao Erlai Pi's face, but he couldn't refute it, he had been convinced by Yang Shiqi these days.

'You can go back and ask Brother Ling, would you like to be a courtier of the King of Japan, or a courtier of the Emperor of the Celestial Empire?' When Yang Shiqi wrote, he didn't forget to change a page and write 'Emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty' in the position of the top of the sky.

What is called professionalism, this is called professionalism. Shao Er Lai Pi is very obsessed with this, and thinks he is too stylish.

But Yang Shiqi's question was indeed not something he could answer, and after thinking for a while, he asked for his brother: 'What are the benefits of being a courtier of the Celestial Empire?' ’

Yang Shiqi sneered secretly, but wrote quietly on his face: "The sky is high and the emperor is far away. ’

This is the biggest benefit, and Lai Pi thinks so.

As long as you remain absolutely loyal to the Ming Dynasty, the Shao Er family can rule Kyushu Island forever. Of course, Yang Shiqi can't just play falsely, but also has to give some practical promises on behalf of His Royal Highness.

When you see the object of this sentence, you usually automatically ignore the first half of the sentence and only have the second half of the sentence in your eyes. Shao Er Lai Pi was no exception, I saw his eyes shine, nodded like a peck of rice and said, "Yo Xi ......"

Then he hurriedly picked up his pen and wrote: "I can go back and spread the word in the future." ’

We must grasp it, the war situation of our army is changing with each passing day, and the value of the Shao Er family is declining every day. Yang Shiqi wrote lightly: "This promise is only until our army breaks through Shuicheng, and we will not give such a high bid after that......

'Understood. Shao Er Lai Pi nodded, but he didn't think much of Yang Shiqi's words in his heart, he had already seen that the Ming army was unwilling to suffer heavy casualties, and the artillery couldn't collapse the strong walls of Water City, how could it be possible to break through Water City?

In his opinion, Brother Shiqi was just bluffing and wanting the Shao Er family to sacrifice the city.

Yang Shiqi didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so he asked people to arrange a small boat and send him back to the shore in person.
