Guozijian and Sunzijian. One is a school for studying literature and the other is a school for practicing martial arts. They are close to each other and located in the south of Jiang County, in a relatively remote location.

Now there are more than 300 students in the Imperial College, most of whom are energetic young people.

There are more than 200 students in Sunzi Prison.

Most of the courses in the two schools are different, but the break times are exactly the same.

When does the first class start, when does get out of class end, lunch break, etc.

Students like to gather together in twos and threes after lunch and talk. They can talk about anything, the current situation, the war, courses, etc.

Sunzi Jian.

The students had lunch in the cafeteria and then dispersed. Matsudaira Isshin and a few friends came to sit on a bench in a corridor.

Yang Jie, a young man from a wealthy family, took out a package wrapped in black cloth from his arms, and when he opened it, it turned out to be rice. He sprinkled the rice into the pond, causing the koi fish to rush in for food.

"Hehehe." He stood aside and watched, smiling happily.

Songping concentrated on a few friends and ignored him. Instead, he focused on Wu Nian's summoning of Sun Zijian and the students of Guozijian.

"As the saying goes, if you learn civil and military skills, you will be able to join the emperor's family. A general only uses the name of general to command the three palaces, but in fact he is a king of Liaodong."

"Nowadays, our country is new and there are not so many rules. Even civilians without official positions, as long as they have talent, are quickly promoted to captains. There are many examples."

"We have to perform well. If we catch the general's eye, maybe I can be promoted to Qianhu immediately."

The student raised his head proudly and said with high spirits.

As the saying goes, the poor are poor in literature and rich in martial arts. The students who entered Sun Tzu's prison were either the sons of rich families or the children of generals. Zhang Yang was the son of generals. He had an elder brother who was working as a member of the Qianhu family under Wei Ru.

He was ambitious and wanted to serve Wu Nian and gain a wife and son.

"Yes. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Let us spread our peacock wings, express ourselves well, attract the general's attention, and flourish."

Yang Jie withdrew his gaze from Koi, showed a formidable expression, and said.

The few Han students are all full of energy.

This emerging force in Wu Nian has exactly the same momentum.

Isshin Matsudaira was calm and behaved very calmly, only occasionally interjecting words to prevent himself from appearing too withdrawn.

But he still caught the attention of his friends.

Yang Jie looked at him strangely and said, "Songping, you are full of force, the teacher explains the art of war, and your grades are among the best among us."

"You are a foreigner again. Why are you still in Sun Tzu's Prison and working with us? Isn't this a waste of time?"

"Yes. You are very strange." Zhang Yang nodded and said.

Wu Nian's guess was correct. After Songping Yishin entered school, life was not easy. Nationalism had risen, and Han students were more or less repulsive to this Fuso student.

No one bullied Isshin Matsudaira, but they built a wall to ignore Isshin Matsudaira.

However, Isshin Matsudaira was very capable, and he also made good friends among the Han students. His friends also admired Isshin Matsudaira's ability.

But also curious.

This kid is more than enough to make a thousand households when he goes out. Why do you want to hang out in Sun Tzu's prison?

Does he want to get a diploma to prove that he is a direct descendant of the general before he becomes an official?

But he is a foreigner. According to the general's character, I'm afraid he still won't trust him too much.

If he wants to go back to Fusang, there is no point in staying in Sunzi Prison.

Strange, strange.

Although they were good friends, Isshin Matsudaira would not reveal his purpose to them. He just smiled and excused himself: "Brothers are flattering me. The art of war of the Han family is so vast. I have only a superficial knowledge and only scratch the surface. There is still more to do.

I will continue my studies in Sun Tzu's Prison and become an official, which is currently not within my scope of consideration."

Zhang Yang, Yang Jie and others had no doubts and admired Songping's integrity as a person.

Listen.

Listen.

This good friend is so capable and needs to learn and learn again and again. We are anxious to show off our peacocks in front of the general, and we are eager to go out and do things.

Are you too eager for quick success?

But Zhang Yang, Yang Jie and others soon gave up their shame and became determined and enterprising again.

When a real man is alive, he seizes every day.

This is a rare opportunity, we must perform well in front of the general.

Learned the art of literature and martial arts, and brought goods to the emperor's family.

Wu Nian's kingdom was still in its infancy, and the hierarchy had not yet been solidified. It was like "Being a farmer in the morning, ascending to the emperor's hall in the evening", this is the time to reach the sky in one step.

How can the students of Imperial College and Sunzi Prison not be excited? How can they not be ready to take action?

The peacock spreads its wings to show the king.

At this moment.

But the king lives in a deep mansion and a large courtyard, preferring silence and not moving.

In the backyard. In Wu Nian's study.

Wu Nian was sitting on the Grand Master's chair. There was a book on the desk in front of him, called "Han Thieves Do Not Stand Together" and a globe.

This is what he wants to show his students.

Liu Zhixing was sitting on the Taishi chair in front of Wu Nian, drinking tea.

"General, Kyogoku Yuki has finally revealed some features. Although Kyogoku Yuki's identity and what he wants to do are still unclear. But this Matsudaira Isshin. There is intelligence that he may be from Okinawa.

The Han name is Zhao Wuxue, and he is a descendant of the princes and nobles of Okinawa."

Liu Zhixing closed the lid, gently placed the tea cup on the coffee table, raised his head and said to Wu Nian.

This person.

If you are exposed to the sun for a long time, there will always be clues. Wu Nian had previously sent people to pay more attention to Matsudaira Isshin.

Finally, there was a clue.

"Okinawa people?" Wu Nian's tiger eyes flashed, he also put down the tea cup, stood up and clasped his hands behind his back, came to the door and stood still.

He was not surprised, but he was pleasantly surprised.

Okinawa was the former Ryukyus.

The Ryukyu Kingdom was a vassal state of the Chu State, but was conquered by the Fuso Daimyo and renamed Okinawa.

Ryukyu has a deep relationship with the Chu Kingdom. It is a small country with only a few county towns. The internal clothing and customs are heavily Chineseized.

In the past, there was a tradition of sending princes to study in the Imperial College of Chu.

Therefore, the upper-class princes and nobles of the Ryukyu Kingdom all have Han names.

Songping Yixin is the blood of Zhao Wu.

In the past, Wu Nian and Goguryeo's envoys discussed the Han people and Goguryeo. Wu Nian admitted that he was the big sect and Goguryeo was the small sect.

And this Ryukyu Kingdom is also a small sect of Yanhan.

It has a long history.

Now Isshin Matsudaira and Kyogoku Yuki are in a master-slave relationship. So Kyogoku Yuki's goal may be Okinawa.

There are two possibilities.

The Kyogoku family, as a [Mutsu Daimyo], wanted territory and was interested in the territory of Okinawa. They wanted to use Matsudaira Isshin's power and influence to gain a foothold in Okinawa.

Or, the Kyogoku family has connections with the Ryukyu Kingdom and wants to help Ryukyu recover.

But there are many difficulties in doing this. Now in Fuso, General Toyotomi's position has gradually become more stable.

If you want to capture Okinawa, you have to go to war with General Fuso Toyotomi.
