At the end of February of the second year of Tianqi, the main tent of Hou Pingliao's army was moved from Moji at the eastern end of Kyushu Island to Nagasaki in the west.
As Japan's gateway to the outside world, Nagasaki has always been highly valued. After Tokugawa Ieyasu unified Japan, he made Nagasaki a place directly under the jurisdiction of the shogunate and established a mission here, named Nagasaki Mission.
In addition, Nagasaki is also the territory of Omura, Hirado, and Shimabara vassals.
However, after the Battle of Kyushu, both Fengxing and the above three daimyo were all wiped out by the Kaiyuan Army.
Together with their retainers and samurai, they died under the slaughtering knives of the Korean soldiers, and now their bodies have long since disappeared.
After the signing of the Treaty of Ushioseki, Nagasaki will become an important port for the shogunate's trade with the Ming Dynasty.
Restoring economic order in the port city is urgent.
Therefore, after the treaty was signed, Liu Zhaosun led the First Army of the Guards to station in Nagasaki.
He himself even moved into the luxurious official residence of his predecessor, Jin Yuji and Zhang Yan, using practical actions to show the outside world that the Kaiyuan Army was not the legendary bandits and saboteurs, but that they wanted to run the city seriously.
While the Japanese merchants in the streets of Nagasaki were still spreading rumors about the affair between Marquis Pingliao and two stunning women - the Japanese were most interested in such topics - the European caravans active in the port of Nagasaki, However, it has been noticed that the trade order of various countries with Japan is about to be seriously damaged.
A punitive action against the barbaric Tatars (who regarded the Kaiyuan Army as barbarians) for destroying their own commerce was secretly brewing among European caravans.
~~~~~~~
Nagasaki official residence.
In front of a screen with an elegant painting style is a knife rest, and on the knife rest is a dilapidated Yan Ling knife.
A handsome general in kimono, Ji sat on the exquisite and luxurious tatami, looking around with his neck curled up.
This kind of sitting posture and movements are really inelegant. At first glance, he is not a serious Japanese, at least not a qualified Nagasaki samurai.
Liu Zhaosun crossed his hands on his chest and blinked wildly, looking quite embarrassed.
At this moment, on the left and right sides of Ping Liao Hou's body, a stunning woman was kneeling on each side.
"Madam, let me explain."
Liu Zhaosun leaned to the left, secretly looked at Jin Yuji's side face, and muttered in his voice.
Jin Yuji looked unhappy and did not look at Liu Zhaosun.
Liu Zhaosun shrugged his shoulders, showed an innocent expression, and muttered:
"It was just a chance encounter. I drank too much that night and I can't even remember it."
Jin Yuji raised her eyebrows upside down and said angrily: "Drink too much? For a person who doesn't usually drink, how much did he drink that night?"
Marquis Pingliao still wanted to defend himself, but a girl in white next to him cried and wiped away her tears:
"Marquis Ping Liao, do you still remember Zhang Yuhe by the Daming Lake that year?"
Liu Zhaosun couldn't laugh or cry:
"What year? Isn't it just last year? Is Daming Lake in Jinan? We were in Wendeng that night. Wait, who is Zhang Yuhe..."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he regretted them.
Jin Yuji's eyes were widened and her hands were clenched into fists.
Liu Zhaosun was frightened.
"There is also Zhang Yuhe? The official is really..."
Jin Yuji waved her fist and was speechless for a moment.
The girl in white smiled at General Anyuan, turned to look at Marquis Pingliao, and said coquettishly:
"Next to Wendeng County is Daming Lake. Yuhe is my concubine's name. I remembered it for a few days because of the moment of joy. After all, Pingliao Marquis is a cold-blooded person. He just forgot about it, that's all..."
"Stop it, I really don't remember that night."
Liu Zhaosun quickly begged for mercy.
The girl in white said reluctantly:
"I still remember."
This stunning girl in white who calls herself Zhang Yuhe is the beauty Zhang Yan.
Since the love affair with Marquis Ping Liao last year, she stayed in Weihaiwei. Because she was the adopted daughter of Kang Yingqian and was taken care of by Mrs. Gaoming, everyone thought she had a close relationship with Marquis Ping Liao, so all the civil affairs officials in Wendeng tried their best to Please this great aunt.
Zhang Yan waited in Wendeng for two months, waiting for the army to return home in triumph, but she waited and waited and never heard from Marquis Pingliao.
Until Kang Yingqian was transferred to Kyushu and went to Wendeng to visit a group of colleagues, he met Zhang Yan and took her to Nagasaki.
Hence the story of Zhang Yuhe breaking into Fengxing's mansion at night.
"This is the token you gave to my concubine."
Zhang Yan handed over a folding fan, and just as Liu Zhaosun was about to reach out, Jin Yuji snatched it away.
When I opened it, I saw thick ink and heavy colors, with dots of dye. On the fan was a "picture of mist and rain", and a poem was written on it:
After the rain, the lotus flowers bear the dew, and the spring scenery in the city reflects the morning sun.
The scenery on Daming Lake is beautiful, and Zhuoqi Mountain is graceful and graceful.
Liu Zhaosun's head was buzzing. He had indeed drank wine that night and was so drunk that he seemed to have mentioned poetry at the end.
Jin Yuji angrily threw the folding fan onto the tatami, stood up and left.
"What a bad poem!"
Zhang Yan finished the attack from behind and said:
"I know very well that this relationship may not last long, so to express my feelings, I also wrote an ancient Yuefu poem on the brocade handkerchief and gave it back to Marquis Ping Liao. The poem said:
The king should be like a rock, and the concubine should be like pampas grass.
Cattail grass is as tough as silk, and rock has no transference.
"Marquis Pingliao, is that handkerchief still on your chest?"
Seeing Zhang Yan being so arrogant, Jin Yuji took a few steps but decided not to leave. She stood in the entrance hall, looked at Liu Zhaosun with her arms akimbo, and asked her husband:
"still there?"
"ah?"
Liu Zhaosun looked confused and quickly put down his hands on his chest.
"Handkerchief, a handkerchief given to you by the beauty!"
As Jin Yuji spoke, her voice began to sob.
When Liu Zhaosun saw her crying, he was so excited that his face turned pale with fright, and he quickly waved his hands and said:
"No, no, no."
Jin Yuji immediately held back her tears, looked up at Zhang Yan, and said with disdain.
"Do you hear me clearly? If that's the case, then leave quickly. Marquis Pingliao is busy with military affairs and has no time to play around with a wild girl like you!"
Liu Zhaosun shrugged at Zhang Yan.
"Miss Zhang, I do have military affairs to discuss later. Can we talk about this later? This time you broke into the Chinese army's tent without permission. I think it's your first offender, so I won't pursue you..."
After saying this, Marquis Ping Liao asked Pei Dahu to come in and see off the guests.
Pei Dahu, who had a rough face, saw Zhang Yan still crying and was at a loss for a moment. A smile appeared on Scar's face, which was uglier than crying.
"Miss Zhang, please, Marquis Pingliao also..."
The head servant stretched out his hand to pull Zhang Yan.
At this time, several military and civil affairs officials had been waiting at the door for a long time.
Kang Yingqian poked his head and looked inside, with a strange smile on his face from time to time.
Zhang Yan avoided Pei Dahu and suddenly cried loudly to Liu Zhaosun:
"Marquis Ping Liao! I am pregnant, three months old. The doctor said it is a boy... I was born innocent, but now I am committed to Marquis Ping Liao! That's why I came to the Japanese country from Shandong. Pu grass is as tough as silk and rock. No transfer!”
There was a sudden silence all around, and you could hear a pin drop in the room.
Pei Dahu was stunned, like a crocodile that had just woken up from hibernation, with his jaw open and unable to close for a long time.
Yuan Chonghuan and Sun Chuanting, who were standing at the door, looked at each other, and then looked at Kang Yingqian who was standing next to them. Neither of them spoke.
Kang Yingqian hid behind the entrance hall, his expression constantly changing and his beard trembling slightly.
Senti and Ma Shiying, who had been waiting outside for a long time, pretended not to hear anything, turned around and left the scene.
Deng Changxiong had a look of surprise on his face, and then quickly regained his usual calmness.
Several civil affairs officials looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Liu Zhaosun was shocked by this sudden change and felt as if he had returned to the Hunhe battlefield.
Perhaps even more dangerous than that time in Hunhe.
He subconsciously touched his beard, looked up at Jin Yuji who was thoughtful in the distance, and said to his wife:
"Nothing is impossible····"
He was still explaining, but Zhang Yan said decisively:
"That's all, I'm a cold-blooded person after all. I'll go out of the camp and find a crooked-neck tree to hang myself on the southeast branch!"
After saying that, she pushed away Pei Dahu, who was still hibernating, and rushed out.
Jin Yuji looked back at her husband and followed him out quickly.
Liu Zhaosun winked at Pei Dahu, and Pei Dahu hurriedly went out.
The two women had just walked out of Nagasaki Fengxing's mansion when they bumped into Shen Lian and Qiao Yiqi.
Shen Qiao and Shen Qiao were in such a hurry that they didn't pay attention to the tearful Zhang Yan.
The two hurriedly walked through the corridor and bumped into Pei Dahu head-on.
Qiao Yiqi grabbed Pei Dahu who was still walking out.
blurted out:
"Where are you going! Take us to see Ping Liaohou quickly. Something big has happened!!"
Pei Dahu did not dare to neglect and quickly called the guards to take the two of them to the living room. I continued to chase the woman who wanted to commit suicide.
Liu Zhaosun looked at the panting Supervisor Qiao.
"What's up?"
Seeing that Yuan Chonghuan, Xie Yang and others were present, Qiao Yiqi jumped three feet high in a hurry and said anxiously:
"The red-haired barbarians are going to attack us!"
"Which red-haired barbarian?"
"all!"
Liu Zhaosun looked at the two women's retreating figures, and his world collapsed again.
