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 monks.
"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 look on his face, and spoke a string of Japanese words.
Zheng Haizhu didn't understand. While the two sides were having a chat, Yan Siqi came over with a dark and muscular man.
When the monk saw the dark, muscular man, his brows became more and more relaxed. He went up to take the wooden file-like tool from his hand, thanked him profusely, and the two immediately started communicating in Japanese.
Yan Siqi pointed at the strong black man and said to Zheng Haizhu: "Ah Zhu, 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. This time he is going 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 could be the great pirate Liu Xiang from the Chongzhen period in history.
Judging from his youthful age and his overall aura that is even more powerful than Yang Tiansheng, and 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 meeting Zheng Haizhu were full of propriety, unlike many of the little brothers from Hirado. When they first met Zheng Haizhu, even in front of Brother Yan, they would look up and down, highlighting
The nature of gossip is to just blurt out "Brother, this is your sweetheart in the legend, okay?"
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 play dumb. There is a lot of goods and silver coins ashore on the red-haired ship. 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 split the money as soon as possible" with your allies and comrades.
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 equivalent to 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 achievements, but I have to give him a reward to express my gratitude. They just agreed last night that we will let Songjiang make the heavy muskets in the future."
Yan Siqi pouted and smiled.
So what if this woman vomits at the sight of blood? Her arrangement of human relations and sophistication is worth many strong ships and soldiers.
With her on hand to make arrangements on land, I 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 belongs to the 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 and 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.
Last year in Tainan in the twelfth lunar month, Yan Siqi explained the differences between Buddhist temples in Japan to her, 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 is a system for the shogunate to control Japanese people's thoughts and even train monks and soldiers. As the Tokugawa family temple, Zojoji's status is even more unquestionable.
Yan Siqi was forced to leave Li Dan, and his relationship with the Tokugawa family of the shogunate and the Tagawa family of Hirado domain was severed.
But when it came to conducting maritime trade in the Far East, especially when the shogunate gradually began to close itself off to the rest of the world, and the Dutch were the only ones with green eyes and red hair, Yan Siqi could not give up his operations on the Japanese side.
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 off 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-cutting workshop in the Ming Dynasty. His master was going to visit the Ming Dynasty. If he wanted to repair the piano, he would be 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 the detailed explanation between Yan Siqi and her Didi Gugu. Whether the two had a sexual relationship or not was not important. What was important was that Lao Yan obviously regarded her as a 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, and he and Zheng Yi had to be careful when dealing with this Zheng woman.
But that day, when monk Yonghai heard the invitation from Zheng Haizhu, he showed an expression that is rarely moved by Buddhists and said: "It's so good. I learned music from the Ming people in Java, and I also saw a rare piano in the world."
Song Qin. Back then, the Ming teacher told me that I must travel to the south of the Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty. There were the best luthiers and craftsmen there, so they also had the best qins."
It was also the first time that Liu Xiang and the Japanese monk met. He thought they were just common Japanese monks who yearned for Chinese Buddhist temples, so he was not too cautious, so he blurted out the translation to "Java".
But when I first heard "Song Qin", I was suddenly startled.
In the flash of lightning, he remembered a story told by Ning De.
But Zheng Haizhu was staring at him, so Liu Xiang covered it up in time and still translated smoothly, eating only the word "Song".
Unexpectedly, before Zheng Haizhu asked, Japanese monk Yonghai was 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 her 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".
