Agarwood Garden is a typical Jiangnan garden, inheriting the consistent style of the freehand landscape garden since the Tang and Song dynasties, with mountains, stacked stones, waterscapes and ancient trees, flowers and trees to create a simple and elegant and wild artistic conception, although the nature is the sect, it is by no means a piece of recklessness, and it is disorganized.
Tall trees, tall bamboo, quaint pine, manyang green willows, supplemented by rockery vines, pond vines, is really like a fairyland on earth.
A book pavilion, the window is half open, the birds chirping outside the window, in the spring light, there are two low beds inside, Xia Xun and Zheng He are lying on a big bed, Zheng He is on his back, three rows of bamboo tubes on his back are tightly sucking the flesh and skin, and he is cupping.
On Xia Xun's back, there was a girl sitting only in a close-fitting coat with bright eyes and bright teeth, giving him a massage.
Massage in the Han Dynasty before the name of the stilt or seesaw, the Han to the Ming Dynasty is more called massage, this girl is obviously first-class, the strength of the first-class, Xia Xun squinted slightly, as if very comfortable.
However, the girl only wore a pair of crimson pants on her lower body, and a belt was tightly tied around her waist, which perfectly outlined the beautiful figure, so she looked plump and exaggerated, and her round and full buttocks sat on Xia Xun's legs, like a thin-waisted queen bee, and only he knew whether Xia Xun's intoxication came from the girl's technique or the soft and elastic body.
Zheng He crossed his arms and pillowed his chin and said: "Shandong, Fujian, Nanzhili, Zhejiang, after the Han annihilation in this area has been hoeed, it is difficult for the Japanese to come and go freely in my Ming land.
I heard that in Xiaozhi Mountain, there was a team of 2,000 Japanese robbers, who went ashore and had no one to guide the way, no one to ventilate and report the news, and the black lights turned out to be a fork in the road, and they plunged into the barracks of the east guard of the town, and the result was that they threw themselves into the net, hehe" Xia Xun squinted his eyes and said, "Hongbud, if you have a bigger hand, I can stand it." ” "Yes, my lord" The red-bud girl sitting on his back raised her wrist, wiped the sweat, smeared some oil on her hands, and pressed the skin with more force, so the plump buttocks sat together, and the hands were strengthened, and a pair of silk underwear was tightly attached to the buttocks, which had slipped into the buttocks, and it looked more durable, and the guards standing at the door secretly looked at more and more frequently.
Xia Xun exhaled comfortably and said: "The most troublesome part of the woe is that once you go ashore, you can destroy everywhere, and our soldiers can only chase after them to clean up the mess and knock out their eyes and ears, and we will win half the victory."
However, it is not easy, my father-in-law must have heard that many gentry and officials in eastern Zhejiang, Liangguang, Fujian, and Nanzhili, including officials from these areas in Beijing, have written to impeach me. ” Zheng He smiled and said: "The prince has the emperor's trust, so why be afraid" Xia Xun said: "The three of them become tigers, and people are afraid that the Japanese are a scourge, such as the court and the people, but we must admit that while they bring disasters, there are many Japanese gangs, which regard robbery as a sideline, mainly smuggling, and smuggling in many wealthy businessmen and families along the coast is beneficial and harmless.
The imperial court decreed that whoever sold oxen, horses, military quartermasters, iron goods, copper coins, satin, silk, and silk cotton out of the country and went to sea had a hundred rods, and if the population and weapons were sent out of the country and went to sea, those who went to sea were hanged.
However, if you lose my Chinese property, you can travel to a foreign country, and you can make ten times more profits.
Where the benefits are reached, the state does not allow buying and selling, and even the smuggling law cannot be stopped, so there are countless troubles.
There are also many ordinary people who make money for these wealthy businessmen, and those who rely on the sea eat the sea, and those who do not travel to and from the sea cannot eat.
Everything is not connected, the people are poor, and naturally there are many people who are thieves and thieves.
If we want to solve the problem of the pirates at the root, we cannot rely on force in the end, and we still have to restore the sea market and cut off the source of the party of thieves in order to truly solve this problem.
Otherwise, not to mention anything else, the military and civilians of the coastal provinces all rely on the sea market to make profits, and the public of their own country can win the favor of the emperor and eliminate the Japanese with violence. ” When Xia Xun said this, he glanced at Zheng He and said: "My father-in-law is a person around the emperor, and he is very favored by the emperor. ” Zheng He nodded, and said thoughtfully: "Well, what Guogong said is indeed reasonable, these times, judging from the confessions of the captured Han and the Japanese Kou, the original purpose of some thieves is indeed for smuggling, and smuggling is not allowed by the imperial court, so they will save their lives to violently resist the law Judging from what they confessed, they simply wanted everything from my Ming goods, cloth, brocade, silk thread, steel needles, iron pots, magnets, lacquerware, fat powder for women, as well as Buddhist scriptures, medical books, four books and five scriptures, and medicinal materials.
For example, the raw silk, one or two raw silk, sold to the book, is ten times the profit, no wonder so many people have knives and guns to the neck, but also to take risks. ” Xia Xun said: "Yes, our emperor is a Ming monarch who has a big retribution, and he wants to do great things."
However, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, and if he wants to do things, he has to use money.
Emperor Taizu Gao was sympathetic to the people, and at the beginning of the founding of the country, he set the rule of thirty taxes and one and never increased it, so where does this money come from, I see, expanding the tax source is a good way, my father-in-law thinks it" Zheng He was greatly moved when he heard this, and nodded slowly.
Xia Xun nodded, not wanting him to notice his enthusiasm for opening the sea, this seed was planted, so he changed the topic: "But for now, this Kou still has to be suppressed, the emperor has transferred the new group of Shenji Battalion to eastern Zhejiang, on the one hand, it is to enhance the strength of the fight against the Japanese Invaders, on the other hand, it is also a training army, purely based on firearms, it is the first time in my Ming Dynasty."
I heard that the coastal guards are a little resistant to the Shenji Battalion, these generals who are holding on to the flawed have always thought that firearms can only be used as a supplement, and they are useless, in fact, calling the Shenji Battalion to fight a few battles is enough to change their views, but the Shenji Battalion also has their shortcomings, and it is a sharp weapon with the traditional army, and if they are asked to act alone, it is extremely risky.
However, the generals of the guards were prejudiced and looked down on the Shenji Battalion, and they were afraid that the Shenji Battalion would not fight effectively in their defense area, but would drag them back, so even the troops of the Shenji Battalion assigned to their defense area were left hanging there, isolated, and neither used nor cooperated.
I want to trouble my father-in-law to go down and take a walk and reconcile the relationship between the Shenji Camp and the guards. ” Xia Xun laughed twice, and said a little embarrassedly: "My father-in-law also knows that my black face is too successful, if I go, I'm afraid the effect will backfire." ” Zheng He couldn't help laughing out loud and said: "It is the emperor's idea to establish a firearms battalion, and the emperor saw the power of firearms in the Battle of Jingyan, so he decided to build a sharp firearms army, how can they be useless Although the Duke of Guogong is relieved to sit in Hangzhou, this matter can only be handed over to our family." ” Xia Xun nodded and said happily: "It is Yang's blessing to be able to do things with his father-in-law." ” Zheng He smiled and said: "Zheng is the same" The two laughed and said that Kyoto, Kitayama.
This is the Kitayama Temple, where Ashikaga Yoshimitsu holds the power of the country, and it is a splendid temple built on the basis of the Kitayama Villa that was donated to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu by the Saionji family.
Ten years ago, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu coerced the border with a large army, and through negotiations, he realized the northern and southern dynasties.
After the Southern Dynasty, Emperor Kameyama made a decision in Ashikaga Yoshimitsu that the throne would be inherited by the Northern and Southern Dynasties in turn.
After promising that the estates and territories in each region would be controlled by the Northern and Southern Dynasties respectively, Emperor Komatsu, the queen of the Northern Dynasty, gave the three artifacts symbolizing the throne to Emperor Komatsu, and became a monk at Daikakuji Temple in Kyoto.
Two years later, at the age of thirty-seven, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu relinquished the position of "Shogun of Seiyi" to his nine-year-old son, Ashikaga Yoshinori, and became a monk himself.
The name of the law was changed to morality, and the name of the law was Tianshan, and many samurai and public families such as his minister in charge of the army, General Si Boyi, and the left minister Huashanin Tongding, also became monks with him.
But this so-called ordination is just a formality, in order to better control the power of the temple, in fact, he is equivalent to moving his shogunate to Kitayama, the entire military and political power is still in his hands, he enters and exits the palace as casually as entering and leaving his own home, and even when he wants to enter the palace to see the emperor, the palace has to be specially cleaned, whitewashed, and grandly received, he is the actual emperor of the royal family.
Beishan Hall, a very elegantly arranged Zen courtyard.
The corridor was covered with thick oak floors, and a pair of clogs were plump, and they followed a monk and walked forward step by step.
The clogs slammed against the floor, making a "pop-pop" sound.
The monk stopped in front of a room, knocked lightly on the door, and said a word respectfully, and after a while, the shoji door opened, and out came two young and handsome young men, samurai jackets, black hair shawls, and delicate eyebrows, like maidens.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu has a wide range of surnames, handsome men and beautiful women are his favorites, these two handsome young samurai are his boys, called "small surname" in the Wa Kingdom, that is, in the Central Plains called the prostitution boy.
The Japanese man style is very prosperous, he is an ordinary samurai, and he also likes to raise a small surname, Uesugi Kenshin, Oda Nobunaga, Tokugawa Four Heavenly Kings no I Naomasa and Honda Tadakatsu, etc., all have the good of Longyang, and they are elegant.
However, the small surname of this is different from the Central Plains of the prostitution, in that most of these small surnames are strong in martial arts, they not only satisfy the lord's surname desire on the tatami mat, but also have the responsibility of selecting official documents and personal guards for the lord, and concurrently serve as a lover, bodyguard and secretary three messengers, and the relationship with the lord is very close.
So when Fei Fu saw these two teenagers, he didn't dare to be careless at all, and hurriedly bowed to the two of them.
The two little surnames stepped forward to search the fat fortune, dodged the road, and the fat fortune was busy and bowed again, took off the clogs, and entered the room barefoot.
At the end of a spacious and deep hall is a long table with curly ears, behind which sits a monk in a golden robe with a shiny head, in his forties, with a graceful expression.
Seeing Fatty Fu coming in, he closed the file that was being reviewed in his hand, put it aside, raised two heavy black dots on his eyebrows, showed a mouthful of dark teeth, and smiled happily: "Ah Fatty is back, what good news did you bring me back?"
