At Banya Bay, on the Nakamoto Wattage of the Luo Family's Nakamoto, Masayoshi personally welcomed the triumphant return fleet of the Luo Family.

"I pay homage to Your Highness," Sun Wuro saluted towards Masayoshi who was walking on the deck.

"Haha, I've been lucky this time, how are the harvest?" Zhengliang.

"Your Highness, there is a 3,000 guan ransom from Huzi's family in the cabin," Sun Wulang reported.

"Let's go and go in and take a look," said Zhengliang as he walked quickly to the cabin.

When Sun Wuro personally opened a wooden box full of copper coins for Masarong, Masarong couldn't help laughing. These three thousand coins basically caused the Huzi family to vomit most of the benefits obtained from the Sashi family last time. Even Huzi Otomo himself might not have expected that the wealth he finally snatched from the Sashi family would flow into the pocket of the Luo family in this way. What's more, with these coins, the purchase of plowing ox can be put on the agenda, and he no longer has to look at Heiji Dongxiang like a resentful woman. Masarong was quite happy about this.

"Your Highness" saw Masayoro slowly recovering his calm, Sun Wuro continued, "On the way back, the fleet eliminated a team of pirates, seized 4 Xiaozao ships, saved several fishermen, and a man who spoke strange language."

"A person who speaks strange language?" asked Zhengliang.

"Yes, Your Highness, the clothes that man wears are different from ours," Sun Wulang replied.

"Well. The fishermen asked them to go back and take their family to the territory to settle down. As for that strange person, bring him to me," said Zhengliang.

The person who spoke strange language? Is it the Southern Barbarian? Zhengliang couldn't help but mutter. No, the Southern Barbarians who first arrived here were three years later. In Zhengliang's memory, starting from the 15th century, Western European countries opened new routes to the East, and world history entered the era of great geographical discovery (the era of great navigation). What followed was colonization and overseas trade. The so-called Southern Barbarians were influenced by the Chinese thought of China at that time and the first arrival of Japan

The name of Portugal, Spain, Italy and other countries in Japan. Most of these people by boat by boat, and the Philippine Islands sailed into Japan from the southern sea close to Kyushu, so they were collectively called "Southern Barbarians". Later, the Dutch forces spread eastward, and the Japanese were also called Britain and the Dutch were red-haired. Japan's first contact with the Southern Barbarian culture was in the 12th year of Astronomy (1543), a Chinese sailboat drifted to Kyushu Seed Island due to a typhoon. This ship was originally traveling between China and Siam.

The merchant ships between the Luo Kingdom (now Thailand) were mostly Europeans, and a few were Chinese. The Portuguese captain of the ship had a tube in his hand that could make a fire, and its sound was like thunder, which could break copper and iron. This is what is called an iron cannon (rifle). The lord of Seed Island Seed Island, Seed Island, purchased two pieces from the captain for 2,000 taels of silver, and was successfully copied by the craftsman Eight-Plate Jin Soldier Wei Qingding two years later. This new weapon was quickly accepted by the Warring States Daming Daemon, and the people of Ome Kingdom,

The Sakai of Izumi and the Root of Kii country became the base for mass production of rifles. The introduction of rifles changed Japan's traditional tactics, and the main force of combat also changed from cavalry to slightest. Is it wrong that the Southern Barbarians have arrived in Japan now? No, if the Southern Barbarians were believed to be "ghosts" and would never be as calm as they are now. Let's take a look. Thinking of this, Masara was quietly waiting for the arrival of the guests.

Soon, a man in black burlap cloth was brought in.

"God of the Lord" The man was obviously stunned when he saw a young man in his main seat, and then quickly recovered. He knelt down and said. Although he had no hope for whether the other party could understand his language, the man still saluted in Ming Mandarin.

"Huh?" Zhengliang immediately stood up as soon as he heard the accent. Although the accent was a bit local, Zhengliang could hear it. It was the language from the Ming Dynasty. Unexpectedly, he met someone from the old place here. The man was startled by Zhengliang's sudden behavior and mistakenly thought that the other party was going to be unfavorable to him. He hurriedly knelt on the ground, his body trembling slightly.

"You... can you understand what I said?" Zheng Liangsheng tried to ask in Mandarin. It's not that he didn't want to imitate the man's pronunciation, but he really couldn't imitate whether he grew up there.

The man was stunned at first, then kowtowed suddenly and said, "Sir, please forgive the villain's life."

Obviously, he understood Zhengliang's words. The so-called three happy events in life, namely titled for the golden list, wedding wedding, meeting old friends in a foreign land, and now men have a deep understanding. It's nothing more, his experience in the past two days is so legendary.

"Get up." Zhengliang said. The man looked up at Zhengliang and confirmed that Zhengliang did make him stand up, then he stood up carefully, but he was obviously a little restrained.

"Haha, don't be nervous. Are you from the Ming Dynasty?" Zhengliang was considered an old friend who met a foreigner today, although this old friend was a Ming Dynasty person hundreds of years later.

"Report to the Lord, Caomin is from Jielin, She County, Huizhou Prefecture, Nanzhili. Just call Caomin Wang Hai, just say "The man in a low voice."

"Southern Zhili Huizhou Prefecture?" Zhengliang thought for a while, and roughly determined his geographical location in his heart. "Since he was there, why did he come to Japan today?"

"Sir..." The man paused, as if he had a hidden secret.

"Haha, you are in Japan now, not in the Ming Dynasty, and I am not the high-ranking county magistrate. Now you and I are old friends, so what can I say?" Zhengliang picked up a cup of tea and handed it over, patted the man on the shoulder and said. A young man was very mature and patted a man in his thirties. It was a bit abrupt no matter how he looked at it.

"Oh, sir. It's really not to be hiding it. The villain came here in desperation." The man sighed and then told him about his experience.

It turned out that Wang Hai was originally a small family in Shanlin in She County, Huizhou Prefecture, Nanzhili. He had an elderly mother, wife and children, and a sister who entered the palace as a palace maid at a very young age. Although the family was living a hard life, they could barely live. But one day, there was a bad news that the sister in the palace was executed because she accidentally angered the emperor. Before the family could recover from the grief, there was a rumor that the emperor was implicated in the nine tribes. In panic, Wang Hai quickly packed up the details and prepared for the family to escape. A friend who happened to go out to sea to make a living came to visit. After learning about Wang Hai's situation, he immediately assisted Wang Hai's family in escaping to Chongming Island.

After hearing Wang Hai's experience, Zhengliang couldn't help but feel deeply sympathetic. In Zhengliang's memory, the person in charge of the Ming Dynasty should be the emperor Zhu Houcong Jiajing. This Zhu Houcong was a lustful emperor who firmly believed in immortality. Zhu Houcong was greedy for women and indulged in lust. His physical condition became worse and worse. The more he was like this, the more obsessed with Taoist immortal arts in order to live forever. Some famous alchemists and slanderers all offered secret recipes or alchemy in the room.

For example, Tao Zhongwen was one of the most beloved alchemists of Emperor Jiajing. He was originally favored by the emperor by offering secret recipes for sexual intercourse. Emperor Jiajing gave him one time a reward of 100,000 taels of silver, and he was one of the first ranks and received a double salary. His descendants also benefited from it. In order to contribute to the emperor's preferences, he collected and presented various secret recipes for sexual intercourse, and refined or prepared various immortal pills and traditional Chinese medicines in the country. The secret recipes and alchemy medicines offered at that time were popular.

It can be said to be a variety of. Among them, "red lead" is the most popular method of alchemy and medicine. It is to mix and roast virgin menstruation and medicine powder, which is like chensha. There is also a kind of "real cake", which is the blood clots contained in the mouth of the baby when he was born. It is said that these drugs can strengthen the body and enhance sexual desire. Two years ago, the "Renyin Palace Change", this kind of alchemy in the palace reached its peak. Emperor Jiajing, credited alchemist Duan Chaoyong and others to refine pills

Medicine sacrifices the body of the palace maids or even the young life. In order to obtain enough alchemy raw materials, the emperor forced the palace maids to take medicine that urges menstrual bleeding. At the least, it greatly damages the body and mind of the palace maids, and at the worst, it causes excessive blood loss or even blood collapse, and many people die. In addition, in order to prevent the secret of refining medicine, it may even kill the palace maids who have taken blood to silence the mouth. Now it seems that Sister Wang Hai's death is probably related to the emperor's special hobbies.

"Since you have left the tiger's mouth, why did you fall into the hands of the Japanese pirates today?" Zhengliang asked strangely. Before meeting Wang Hai, Zhengliang heard Sun Wulang report roughly about the passing of these people.

"Sir, this time the villain followed the ship owner to Japan to sell supplies, but he didn't expect that he encountered a typhoon last night. The villain accidentally fell from the boat into the water, grabbed a wooden board and floated in the water for the middle of the night. He was rescued by several fishermen who went out to sea this morning. He thought that the villain would have good fortune if he survived this disaster, but he didn't expect that a group of pirates suddenly rushed out and caught the fishermen and the villain again. Later, it was the adult's subordinates who killed the pirates and saved the villain's life. At first, the villain thought he had fallen into the hands of a strong man again, but he didn't expect that he had met an adult. It was really a blessing for the villain." Wang Hai said with a choked voice. If anyone encounters a major change within a day, he will feel like he has survived the disaster.

"Hahaha, this is also considered to be your fate," Masayoshi laughed, "By the way, you are coming to Japan for trade this time, and I wonder where you are going to park?"

"Sir, the villain don't know. This time we are coming to Japan for the first time. We suddenly encountered a strong wind last night, and we don't know what the situation was on the ship. If the adults intend to trade with our ship owner, the villain can convey it on their behalf." The man seemed to be gradually becoming familiar with Zhengliang, and the topics were getting more and more.

"Haha, I'm also looking forward to meeting your ship owner." Zhengliang also wanted to open up the trade route with Ming. If he could get a certain amount of Ming Dynasty porcelain and silk, then the Luo family would not have to worry about spending for several years.

"Don't worry, my dear. After the villain returns, I will definitely introduce it to the ship owner. Our ship owner is the friend of the fellow countryman who saved the villain's life last time. His name is Wang Zhi. He is already well-known in the coastal area of ​​Ming Dynasty." Wang Hai patted his chest and promised.

"Hahaha, OK, then...what? Let me tell you again what your ship owner is calling?" Zhengliang, who was about to ask the other party, stood up with a "brush", and then looked at Wang Hai with a surprised look on his face.

"Big... Sir", Wang Hai was shocked again. Could it be that his ship owner had a holiday with this Sir?

"You...you mean, your ship owner is Wang Zhi?" Zhengliang walked two steps closer to Wang Hai and confirmed again.

"Ah? Yes, yes, sir, the ship owner of the villain is the villain's fellow villager, Wang Zhi, a native of Jielin County, Huizhou Prefecture, Nanzhili." Wang Hai was so scared that he took a step back and replied nervously. Now he was increasingly suspicious that his friend had offended the adult. Although this adult is now in Japan, judging from his appearance and speaking fluent and Ming Mandarin, he might have been persecuted to escape to Japan in the Ming Dynasty. Thinking of this, Wang Hai couldn't help but tremble his legs. It's a disaster. He just left the dragon pool and entered the tiger's den. I regret that he said so much.
