Although Mabel can be called brave, she is still a human being after all. She will inevitably be frightened when she is in danger. It was not until Yan Siqi's troops seized control of the island that she finally relaxed.
At this moment, she reunited with Zheng Haizhu, who was also a woman. After regaining her strength, she became more and more excited. She pulled Zheng Haizhu out of the tent and came to the Japanese monk.
"Sister Azhu, this master fell into the sea and drifted here, and protected my life in front of Hong Mao."
Hearing this, Zheng Haizhu hurriedly put his palms together and bowed to the monk.
The monk stood up and returned the salute, with a gentle and serious expression on his face, and spoke a string of Japanese words.
Zheng Haizhu didn't understand. While the two sides were chatting, Yan Siqi came over with a burly man.
When the monk saw the strong black man, his eyebrows became more and more relaxed. He went up to take the wooden file-like tool from his hand, thanked him a lot, and the two immediately started communicating in Japanese.
Yan Siqi pointed at the black and muscular man and said to Zheng Haizhu: "Azhu, this brother's surname is Liu Mingxiang. He arrived in Japan two years before I did. Last year, he took a boat from Hirado to Tainan to join me, and this time he went to Nanyang. We have recruited many strong men. Yesterday, Brother Liu’s troops were the first to land on the island, and they are all good-blooded men!”
Liu Xiang?
Zheng Haizhu bowed her hands to the man with a look of reverence on her face, wondering in her heart whether this man was the great pirate Liu Xiang during the Chongzhen period in history.
Judging from his youthful age and his overall aura that is even more powerful than Yang Tiansheng, combined with Yan Siqi's background as a Hirado maritime merchant, it is estimated that this Liu Xiang is the other Liu Xiang.
And Liu Xiang's eyes when he met Zheng Haizhu were full of propriety, unlike many of the little brothers from Hirado. When they first met Zheng Haizhu, they would look him up and down and highlight them even in front of Brother Yan. The nature of gossip is to blurt out "Brother, this is your sweetheart in the legend, isn't it?"
Yan Siqi motioned for Zheng Haizhu to follow him further and confessed in a low voice: "Zheng Yi is Yu Zigao's man. Mr. Yu can send him to Penghu to help so quickly. This is a betrayal of our friendship. Although they didn't waste any time, One soldier at a time, we can't act stupid. There is a lot of goods and silver coins ashore on the red-haired ship, and I have to accompany General Zheng to select them."
Zheng Haizhu nodded repeatedly.
After killing the enemy and loving the country, you have to practice what "emotional intelligence is online and distribute money as soon as possible" with your allies and colleagues.
Understand.
Zheng Haizhu then said bluntly: "You go and do your work, but you must give me the eight-riel Spanish silver coin with red hair left here, which is about three thousand taels of our Ming Dynasty's silver. I will give it to Xu Xinsu. He is a counselor, Yu Zi We can't control whether Gao rewards him according to his military merits, but I have to give him a reward to show my appreciation. They just agreed last night that Songjiang will make the heavy muskets in the future."
Yan Siqi pouted and smiled.
So what if this woman vomits at the sight of blood? Her layout of human relations and sophistication is worth many strong ships and soldiers.
With her on the ground, he can rest assured.
Yan Siqi was about to turn around when he suddenly remembered another verse and warned more softly: "By the way, the Japanese monk, I asked him just now, he actually came from Zengshang Temple in Edo. That temple belongs to the Pure Land Sect, and it is also a place of virtue. The family temple of the Sichuan shogunate. This monk is called Nagai. Although he is not a monk in the temple, he is good at piano painting. He also has contacts with public temples. He is also yearning for the customs of the Ming Dynasty. You can talk to him. Isn’t there a famous person in Songjiang? Help you cut the piano? Or, choose a few of your good pianos and give them to him. Not only will you earn money, but you can also help me renew my relationship with the Tokugawa family."
Zheng Haizhu listened attentively while quickly digesting the amount of information in Yan Siqi's words.
In Tainan last twelfth lunar month, Yan Siqi explained the differences between Japanese Buddhist temples to her and Gu Shouqian and Han Ximeng.
Japan is now in the shogun era, and the emperor is a puppet. The Tokugawa Shogunate divided temples into two categories: public and samurai.
The public temple is a temple belonging to the emperor, and the monks are similar to the painting academies in China during the Song Dynasty. They are only responsible for studying Buddhist scriptures or reciting poems and painting.
The samurai temple was a system for the shogunate to control the minds of the Japanese people and even train monks and soldiers. As the Tokugawa family temple, the status of Zojoji Temple was unquestionable.
Yan Siqi was forced to leave Li Dan, and his relationship with the Tokugawa family of the shogunate and the Tiangawa family of Hirado domain was severed.
But when it comes to conducting maritime trade in the Far East, especially when the shogunate is gradually becoming more closed-door to the country and favors the Dutch red hair, Yan Siqi cannot give up on the operation of Japan.
Only fools who don’t understand maritime trade, let alone international relations, can’t understand this.
Zheng Haizhu thought about it and quickly realized that no wonder a "group executive" like Liu Xiang was so condescending to the Japanese monk.
After Yan Siqi hurried towards the beach, Zheng Haizhu turned around and saw Liu Xiang diligently carrying a piece of flat wood and placing it under the bright sun.
Japanese monk Yonghai carefully placed a Zhongni-style harp on the wood, and seemed to want to use a file to file away the tiny corners that had been soaked in sea water.
Zheng Haizhu hurriedly stepped forward and gestured to stop him, saying that he had a piano-making workshop in Daming. My master is going to visit the Ming Dynasty. If he wants to repair this piano, I am willing to invite him to Songjiang.
Liu Xiang, who met Zheng Haizhu for the first time, was translating while judging this woman in her heart.
When Ningde ordered him to transfer from Hirado to Taiwan, he mentioned the bloodline of the Zheng family that no longer served the Lord, and this little granddaughter who seemed to have no idea of her family background.
Just now I saw Yan Siqi talking to her in detail. It didn't matter whether they had a sexual relationship or not. What was important was that Lao Yan obviously regarded her as his confidant.
This woman is superior to Lao Yan, the Taiwanese indigenous chief's wife, in both appearance and conversation. However, she is not a daughter of the Yan family who enjoys peace and happiness, and still attracts the attention of Ningde. She is definitely not a thing in the pool.
Liu Xiang naturally reminded himself that after all, he had not yet boarded the same boat to regain the country. He and Zheng Yi had to be careful when dealing with this Zheng woman.
But on that day, after hearing the invitation from Zheng Haizhu, monk Yonghai showed a rare expression for Buddhists and said: "It's so good. I learned qin songs from the Ming people in Java, and I also saw a rare piano in the world." Song Qin. At that time, the Ming teacher told me that I must travel to the south of the Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty. There are the best luthiers and craftsmen there, so there are also the best qins."
Liu Xiang and this Japanese monk had just met each other for the first time. Thinking that they were just common Japanese monks who yearned for Chinese Buddhist temples, they were not too cautious, so they blurted out the translation to "Java".
But when I first heard "Song Qin", I was startled.
In the flash of lightning, he remembered a story that Ning De had said.
But Zheng Haizhu was staring at him, Liu Xiang covered it up in time, and still translated smoothly, eating only the word "Song".
Unexpectedly, before Zheng Haizhu asked, Japanese monk Yonghai would be so excited that he picked up a branch and began to draw on the sand, just like meeting an old friend in a foreign land.
Zheng Haizhu smiled politely but sincerely, and lowered his head to take a closer look.
As she looked at it, her expression became strange.
I saw the Japanese monk writing four Chinese characters on the sand: "The meaning between loose rocks and loose rocks".
