Hundreds of miles of uninhabited islands outside the port of Zhancheng, this island is about three miles long from north to south, less than one mile wide from east to west, the ground is white and fine sand, it is obviously a coral island at a glance, the surrounding beaches are all sandy beaches, the island can be seen everywhere vegetation, there are coconut groves high and low flocks, flocks of seabirds hissing and soaring, it is the largest island of the island group in this vicinity. At this moment, the blue sky is high, the sun has not long risen, the scenery is pleasant, and everyone has received dry food in order, and is solving the beginning of the day.

Soon after, Shimazu politely told Gulu Mei that there was something to discuss, and the two walked side by side to the seaside to make sure that there was no one around, and Shimazu cautiously opened his mouth and said, "さやかに聞こゆ." 我は姑魯妹よりほかの女は興なし。 Sama、Hinata、大隅をあづかる陸奥守の息子の我は中山王の妹の姑魯妹とのちぎりやいかがならむ?』 Let's put it bluntly! I'm not interested in women other than you, and the marriage of the son of Lu Okumori, who was in charge of Satsuma, Hyuga, and Osumi (the name of the official position of the five people in the Muromachi shogunate) and you of the Ryukyu Nakayama Wangmei, is not an insult to your family!

Gulumei didn't answer, and turned to face the sea. The sea breeze is blowing slowly, her hair is fluttering, and she is still wearing tight black clothes, and her posture is even more graceful at this time!

Shimazu looked a little shaken, stretched out his hand and slapped himself, and said, "ただし我もfoolish straight にはあらず." その仏像にすずろにいれらるらむ? 結構重し。』 But I'm not a nostalgic wish, is there something stuffed in that Buddha statue? It's quite heavy to lift!

In fact, Gulu Mei has always been worried about being seen through by him, but she is still very confident that her beauty can control Shimazu, and at this time she restrained her uneasiness, and replied with a faint face: "Samurai も金に興のある? あさましかし！』 Samurai are also interested in money? What a surprise!

Shimazu laughed and said, "俸禄米はなほたらぬぞ." われは百人ぐらいの支援もあるぞ! かくて、美人と金銭両方飽かれば、誰も拒否せざらむ!』 Where is the amount of rice I receive every month, and I still have a hundred men to take care of! Besides, beauty and money can be the best of both worlds, so why not!

At the end of his words, he didn't plan to say anything to death, thinking to himself, but I can't make you think that I can come all the way and come back empty-handed? As he spoke, he walked back to the shore by himself, thinking that this Gulu sister really had some ability to bewitch men, and she was almost lost. Xun Sima and this guy have been eyebrow-to-eye with Gulu Mei, annoying tight, now it should have been solved, after clearing this variable, now Gulu Mei can only obediently go back to Kagoshima City with herself, looking from a distance but unexpectedly saw Ma He sitting on the beach in a good way, looking at others and animals smiling harmlessly, with a long sword in his hand, singing a song in a good time, and there are more than a dozen unsheathed katana swords next to him. The smile on Shimazu's face froze suddenly, and he rushed over and angrily asked his subordinates what was going on, only to see that several of them bowed their heads and remained silent. Later, Gu Lumei followed a few steps slower, she couldn't hold back her mood of wanting to laugh a few times, and asked Ma He happily, "What's going on?" Ma He replied with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, these are a few Japanese brothers who should want to compare with me, and you are not here, and no one will help me translate." I said that you can fight, but if you lose, you have to leave your weapons, but they didn't understand, and they insisted on doing it, and it became what you see now!"

Shimazu knew that he had touched a hard claw, and he turned to Gulu Mei and said, "いかなる事? 誤解ならぬ?』 What's going on, is there a mistake? Immediately changed his face to a shocked face!

Sister Gulu thought to herself, you can! It's going to turn pretty fast, don't you just want people and money? Ben Shi Shi Ran said: "馬の故郷には武術の対反練習に負けせば、すずろに譲なしと、えいかぬぞ。 彼は先にことわらむと思へど、言の葉つうじずに申し訳さうらはぬ。』 If you lose a competition with someone in Brother Ma's hometown, what do you have to pay as a lottery, he wanted to explain to your people, but he couldn't understand the language, so I'm really embarrassed.

Shimazu thought that he might as well take a picture of it before his face was broken, and said, "さは言ふとも、Samurai の剣は命なり." 返せるばかりなからむや?』 That said, but the sword is life to the samurai, can you ask Brother Ma to return it to them? He bowed slightly.

Gulu Mei translated according to the truth, Ma He smiled, thinking that the etiquette on the other party's table was thoughtful, her right foot stretched out and kicked, and more than a dozen knives were accurately shot at the original owner, after taking over their own weapons, the samurai of the Shimazu family originally had their heads slightly lowered, their shoulders slightly arched, and the little things that the young family master explained were not done, I don't know if I want to be ordered to cut my stomach by myself later, although this is the fate of the samurai, but there is always some apprehension. Shimazu looked at his family with disdain, knowing that the psychological face carved by these people was full of entanglements, and spoke: "わしも負くることうたてけれど、次回にしかと返す! お前ら未だ使ふ用途のある、その前に生け!』 I don't like to lose either, so I'll be sure to come back next time. You guys still have some use, give Lao Tzu a good life!

At this time, the captain came and said that the ship had not brought much fresh water, and it had not rained in the past few days. Ma He smiled and said that this island is not small, and there is nothing left and right, why don't you try to dig a well? Shimazu didn't have anything to object, so he just took the opportunity to put aside the embarrassing topic of discussion, and immediately led some people to explore the island. After being busy for a long time, I also said that no one dared to say exactly where to dig down there must be water, according to Shimazu's meaning to dig it, Gulu Mei rolled her eyes, and then it suddenly rained in the sky, and everyone was busy looking for containers from the boat to hold water, this shower of rain came quickly and urgently, and some water began to accumulate on the ground. After the rain stopped, the rain gradually seeped into the ground, and the horse and the sharp eyes squinted and saw that there was a place where the stagnant water had not subsided, and they immediately paid attention to the location. The next day, it was still wet on the ground, so I told everyone that it was right to dig down here. Shimazu was suspicious, Gulu Mei laughed and scolded and said that Brother Gongzi doesn't need you to do it, let your samurai dig it, and sure enough, the Ryukyu boatmen and Shimazu's samurai took turns digging the soil, and the next day they saw the groundwater gushing out, forming a small spring, Shimazu was silent, so he had to give a thumbs up to Ma He and bow sincerely to express his admiration. (Note 1)

So this strange multinational group stayed on this desert island, these more than half a year, because of Ma and the family believe in Islam, since childhood at home to learn Arabic, grandfather and father have completed the Mecca pilgrimage, got the so-called "Ha" title, there is no sense of resistance to learning foreign Chinese, left and right with Shimazu to learn the Japanese language, Shimazu can understand Chinese, soon can also chat with Ma and a few words, although the pronunciation is not very accurate, the words are sometimes elegant and sometimes weird, but slowly even if Gulu Mei is not on the side of the translation, The two of them can also communicate freely by drawing and writing everywhere. As the degree of communication deepened, Ma He found that Shimazu's Sinology education was actually not worse than his own, and after a question, he learned that he had studied for several years in a place called Ashikaga School that the Muromachi shogunate also supported, and the students who came here to study came from all over the country, and the school actually had a variety of Song Confucian classics as textbooks, and the school taught the Six Classics (including the Book of Filial Piety), the Four Books, Historical Records, Anthology, and Lao Zhuang, the Book of Changes and Military Science, etc., Ma He thought to himself why this was so different from the impression of the Japanese Kou, On the contrary, this is somewhat similar to the Korean state wanting to be a little China, so he asked, "Doesn't your country respect samurai?" Reading so many Confucian classics, is it like my Ming Dynasty, and I can still take the test to get ahead?" Shimazu said: "Confucius has taught Confucius to shoot the imperial book of Lile and Shooting, and it is said that the integration of civil and military affairs is both internal and external, and there is no class of teaching, although my country is located in the Oriental Sea, but also admires Confucian culture for hundreds of years, in the past, many people sent Tang envoys to send Song envoys to live in China, and many of them exchanged poetry and articles with well-known literati at that time, and also used by the imperial court at that time as officials, we are really humble and wholeheartedly study and practice. On the contrary, in your Ming Dynasty, everyone is narrow-minded and not wide-sighted, and blindly thinks that people overseas are barbarians, which is not advisable!" This scolding was smooth and fluent, and Ma He was suddenly slammed, which was quite unpleasant. I thought to myself, fortunately, your Fanbang really learned a half-hearted, our great secret of governing the country of Yang Confucianism and Yin Law can not be passed on, and then Qiang Fen said: "At present, the impression of the general Ming people on your country is that they are bandits on the sea, which is also called the Japanese Kou, which is the export of your country, and the golden signboard, only this one, there is no other semicolon." Shimazu said with a smile: "There must be a reason for everything, who told you to close that door, what kind of sea ban, formal business exchanges like the Song and Yuan dynasties are not very good, although we are afraid of the Mongols, but in business, we still have money to make money." In particular, the Shimazu family is on the island of Kyushu in Japan, and they rely on buying goods from overseas to sell to domestic countries in Japan. If you can't buy things to sell for money, then it's no wonder that there are people in the head-killing business who are desperately smuggling to do it!" Ma He was secretly angry, thinking that those sea thieves in the early years of Hongwu were raised by powerful people like you. However, I don't know the situation of the Japanese country, so why don't I get more information from him, give him a confidant and know the enemy, and win all battles. Shimazu also said: "The king of Japan canonized by the Ming Emperor more than 20 years ago is actually only Prince Huailiang of the Southern Dynasty in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the Ashikaga General who really unified the Northern and Southern Dynasties asked for tribute to the Ming Dynasty but had no way, which is really infuriating and funny!" Ma He didn't know much about the ins and outs of this passage, and he didn't want to show weakness, so he argued strongly: "The two countries are far apart, and the situation is unknown, which is very easy to misunderstand, and the Japanese are generally considered to be cunning by nature, and if the Ashikaga Shogun sends someone to ask for a seal, no one in the court will be willing to write a letter to your country."

Although Shimazu had not seen the battle of Angkor Castle in person, he stretched out his hand to Daming so long, the alarm bell in his head rang again and again, and his eyes turned repeatedly, and he wanted to know more about the situation through the kid in front of him. Now both sides have something to ask for each other, so they all gave birth to the meaning of not breaking their faces for the time being, making friends and seeing, Gulu Mei was deliberately hung aside, watching these two people communicate with deflated Chinese language, occasionally writing Chinese characters on the beach to help each other understand, and those who are interested in not looking for Gulu Mei to translate, feel angry and funny, and then think about the two sides of the direct counterpart, the role of their relay disappeared, how did this go, I had to fight the spirit, and the tone of the attitude towards Shimazu was much better. Shimazu also took the opportunity to ask Gulu Mei about the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, in order to divert the attention of the future head of the Satsuma Domain, she had to roughly put the Ming Dynasty about to face the handover, and then the imperial grandson of the descendant line guarded Beiping with him, and his uncle King Yan was generally considered a very powerful possible candidate. After hearing this, Shimazu shook his head again and again, saying that it was very thought-provoking. Gulu Mei knows Shimazu's roots very well, and said that you just want to talk about the affairs of Ming Kingdom, take advantage of Ashikaga General's intentions! Shimazu scratched his head and didn't deny it, and said with a serious face that the important ministers of Kyoto did not do their best to win the favor of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and some powerful Buddhist temples were also full of Ashikaga family members, and Emperor Komatsu was just a well-behaved puppet, you can't let my Shimazu family do this kind of foolish loyalty? Gulumei thought of the dispute between the three countries in the Ryukyu Islands, and there were many people who chose sides, and she thought that she seemed to have no position to ridicule others more.

After that, the three of them didn't mention the Buddha's head anymore, but ordered the samurai to take turns to guard it, but they were on a small desert island in the middle of the ocean, and the other sails were gone, and they really didn't know where the thieves came from.

After Ma He became acquainted with Shimazu, the word Wa Guo was naturally not good for the big loss, and changed the official title to Japan, which Tianma asked about the relationship between the shogunate and the emperor in Japan. Shimazu thought to himself, I don't say that Gulu Mei has already told you! He smiled and said, "The current Muromachi shogunate is like the relationship between Cao Apo and Emperor Han Xian, and the Ashikaga shogun has the final say in all the power, and the emperor only has the sacrificial rites left."

"What kind of sacrifice?" Ma and do not understand.

"It's a ritual in some countries, such as the last seven days of the first lunar month, the Great Plains Festival, the New Year's Festival, the Spring Festival, and the April festival..."

Ma He said impatiently, "Tell the point!"

Shimazu thought to himself how impatient you are, and for example, he explained, "There is also the Taishan Mansion Monarch Sacrifice that is like the Emperor of Middle-earth who went to Mount Tai to worship the heavens, and this is the ritual of worshipping the heavens that the Japanese emperor and his family are taking part in."

Ma He understands now, is it necessary to create a system that can be confronted with the emperor of the Central Plains! I also think of the history of Mount Tai to seal the Zen Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu, Tang Gaozong, Xuanzong, Song Zhenzong. Except for the one in the Song Dynasty, all of them are the true sons of heaven who have made brilliant achievements and left their names in history, and I can't help but wonder in my heart that you, a small country in the east of Yingpuer, also come to worship the sky, it is really Yelang who thinks that the country is great, and the duck in the seventh and a half years does not know whether to live or die.

As soon as Shimazu saw Ma He's face showing disapproval, he knew that he looked down on his country, which touched the most sensitive nerve in the hearts of the Japanese, and he said awe-inspiringly: "Although my country of Japan is small, in the past when the ancient emperor was pushed (the third year of the Sui Dynasty, 607 AD), the Sui sent Ono Meizi to submit the credentials to Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty to show that our country's status is independent and transcendent, and there is a famous sentence in his national letter: The Son of Heaven at sunrise writes to the book that the Son of Heaven is safe everywhere, and all the people of insight in Japan have made this clear." After saying that, he put his hands back, his chest was high, and he looked at Ma He coldly.

Ma He thought that he would not fight with this guy, and it was really not good to treat this kid, he was about to turn over to the sky, and was just about to make a provocation, when Gulu Mei appeared like a ghost on the side, and interjected a sentence to come in: "Yo, this is a fight between the gods, shouldn't we be in a small country and widows!"

When Ma He heard this, he was even more interested: "Don't worry, I won't teach this dwarf a lesson, he will still float to the sky!" Shimazu said coldly, "I'm about to ask for advice and a good trick under the hands of Lord Heaven!" After saying that, the two were about to put it right, but Gulu Mei complained softly: "None of you really care about others, the sword has no eyes, and I feel uncomfortable if anyone of you is injured!" Shimazu softened first and raised his hands high: "Who said you were going to do it, you are misunderstanding again." Ma He squinted at it, you kid can't do anything else, seeing that the wind is fast and accurate, he has to follow up and say, "We're having fun! On this deserted island, how can we fight each other with swords, and besides, Brother Shimazu is highly educated, so we can communicate more!" After that, the two looked at each other at the same time and fought together. Seeing that both of them retreated, Gulumei was proud and laughed out loud.

Shimazu was born in Kyushu Island, the guardian of the daimyo.,When he was studying at Ashikaga School, he also had a lot of dealings with the younger generation of other daimyos.,I've seen a lot of people.,How to form a gang.,Get along with people who have been in the top position for a long time are also practiced from childhood to adulthood.,Since the heart has set the tone to dig more information from the inside of the Ming Dynasty from Ma He's body.,Naturally, I don't really want to make a fuss.。 Ma He is not so sleek, he is actually still struggling to climb up when he first enters the Yan Wangfu, this time since he has done great things under Angkor Thom, he naturally has to be careful and leisurely, so as not to get the cooked duck to fly. If the head of the Buddha can indeed be transported back to Beiping, then he will have a solid foothold in Yanwangfu.

The current situation is clear, everyone has their own needs, and the rest is the fact that the Buddha head hides gold, Ma He secretly thought, Gulu Mei can respond to her handcuffs first, and the number will be determined later, Shimazu is not sure what he wants, or he has to talk. However, although this guy is well-educated and has always been polite on the surface, it can be seen that he has a wrong idea for Gulu Mei, Ma He pressed the anger in his heart, knowing that this is not a good time to turn his face and kill people, after all, these warriors are still a good escort team on the return journey, depending on how you use these people. Ma He remembered that King Yan had privately sent people to make friends with the three guards outside the pass, and he was still for the cavalry who came and went like the wind. These Japanese samurai can be trained into an infantry force that can be used in bloody battles, and they may be able to use it one day in the future.

After the sun rises and sets, the only amusement of everyone is diving and fishing near the island, and Zhenri looks at the vast ocean and the blue sky high above, and his eyes are about to turn blue. The rights and wrongs of the struggle for power in their respective countries gradually blurred as if a veil had been cast, and the distance between the naked swimming samurai and the boatmen seemed to be narrowed, and their eyes were no longer high. But when the south wind rose again, the boatman screamed that the south wind was blowing, and this cry was like a rooster's crow, instantly pulling everyone back to the real world!

Note 1: With its orientation, shape and size, as well as the natural freshwater wells dug on the island, this desert island is very similar to what is now called Taiping Island.
