A glass of wine (Part 2)
"Pear blossoms are like snow grass and smoke. Spring is on both sides of Qinhuai. A makeup building is surrounded by water, and every family is covered with pink shadows. "The lights are lit. Guo Pu, Wu Anguo and others sat on the Qinhuai River, watching the phosphate and phosphorus waves hidden by the shadow of the moon, and discussed the morning topic. The water surface gradually darkened, and the first lights were slid the soft waves little by little, tweaking the soft waves, making the river water slightly clear. With the low sound of the piano, the heavy makeup or light-painted Jiangnan singer danced at the bow of the boat, and the bright window opened, reflecting the exquisite trunks that were painted into the painting, making people wonder where they were.
"Brother Guo, I don't believe that God will bless this evil Japanese man!" Shisanlang raised the wine glass in front of him and took a sip. When he was young, he was very familiar with the scenery of Qinhuai in the world. He came out of the palace, bid farewell to Zhu Di, returned to the inn and changed into casual clothes, and then took Zhang Zhengxin. Jiang Ye arrived here, found the largest pleasure boat and jumped up. While enjoying the beautiful scenery of Qinhuai, he discussed it like preparing for tomorrow's court discussion. His family is a sea merchant family, and he was familiar with the stories of Japanese pirates robbing and killing people at sea since he was a child. Therefore, he hated Japanese pirates the most in his life. Today, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang intending to suppress the Japanese, and was very excited. He spent almost an entire afternoon discussing how to break the Japanese. The dishes on the table were all arranged in the shape of a fleet.
"It is not a destiny, but manpower is not enough. The Mongols were not good at water warfare, and the ships were large and inappropriate. They carried a lot of people, but they did not resist the waves. It was okay to fight against the near-sea rivers, but they probably wouldn't work when they arrived in the far sea." Guo Pu was originally a water town in Jiangnan and was familiar with ships. He rated the length of Mongolian warships and talked freely. "Besides, most of the expeditionary army were Han people, and they might not be the same as them. It would be strange if they were tired and doubted. Even without the help of hurricanes, they would be difficult to win. However, the warships of our Ming Navy are not better than Mongolian warships. People have carried more people and can't go far, so they have to replenish supplies. Before we get to the place, the food is exhausted. What else can I fight? I think it would be good to come back."
"That's true. I don't think it's as smaller and more flexible as the boat. They install more cannons on both sides. Anyway, our cannons have a long range, and they fight in circles with the enemy ship. When the boat sinks, the enemy will naturally drown. The fools are close to them and fight to the death." Xiao Jiangye listened to them for a long time and finally interjected a sentence. This time he begged Cao Zhen for a few days before he came to the capital with everyone to open his eyes. Usually, everyone has no time to take care of him, so they put him in the inn, and almost horns grow on their heads. Today, they can finally come out, and they are so excited that they almost overturned the boat.
"The son can teach you" Guo Pu praised this kind of water battle style. This kind of water battle style is unprecedented. In the past, two ships fired rockets, collided, hit each other with sticks, and then jumped to the other side's boat and chopped each other with a knife. This is the first time that everyone can't get close to the enemy.
"My disciple, I will love you for you." Shisanlang happily patted Jiang Ye's head, and was extremely proud. "According to Jiang Ye's words, except for sailors, there are only gunners on the ship. There are fewer people, so there are no more food and water. This kind of fleet is scattered on the sea, and there will definitely be no enemy." He changed the vegetable plate to a formation, "I will use the flank artillery to fire the cannons, as long as I shoot it correctly, it will be enough to sink an enemy ship at a time. When the warships knock out all the enemy ships, they will cover the specialized transport ships to the shore. When the shore, it will be the world of my Daming musket soldiers. With warships, they will save all the cannons. Brother Wu, what do you think of this plan?" Seeing that Wu Anguo did not speak for a long time, Shisanlang asked loudly.
"Ah, I think it's good. Jiang Ye's playing style is far better than platoon battles. I just remembered a kind of ship, which is more suitable for navigation, but I don't have its drawings," Wu Anguo said. A ship appeared in his mind. When he was in Beijing, he once had a model of a 16th-century Spanish sailboat, but he didn't know how to build a ship. "This kind of ship is suitable for ocean-going, resistant to wind and waves, and has a large load, and the ship is fast, a pity, a pity..." He shook his head as he said.
"You might as well, Brother Wu just draw the appearance. We will find a group of old shipbuilders to study it, and then call up the sea merchants who often walk on the sea to see who can recommend a good ship shape. We must resist wind and waves, have fast speed and flexible turns. Our artillery has a long range, which is the key, and the tactics must be changed. All ships must be coordinated and the formation must be maintained."
"It is not difficult to maintain the formation, the key is to unify the orders. When racing dragon boats in our hometown, we rely on the sound of drums and the commanded flags to unify the force of the people. The waves on the sea are strong and the sounds are definitely not clear, but you can rely on the flag to command. Different commands can be issued with different flags, colors and directions, and the number of times they wave. You can change the flags to colored lanterns at night. The colorful yarns are easy to find, which are transparent and not afraid of the wind." Guo Pu suggested.
"A clever plan, Brother Guo is so good at inventing it." Wu Anguo slapped the table and almost slapped the table. He didn't know whether the West invented the "flag language" at this time, but he knew in his heart that the inventor of Chinese flag language in the future must be the Guo Pu in front of him. Thinking of this festival, he couldn't help but slap the table.
"Customer, are you going to be a flower boat?" The second brother ran in from the cabin when he heard the sound of slapping the table.
"No need, prepare to check out," Guo Pu ordered. After the waiter agreed and walked out, he whispered, "Marty Jinghai should not be busy with Jinghai. We have to go back tonight to discuss how to write tomorrow's memorial." Everyone was laughing and preparing to get up, but a low singing voice came from outside.
"Look at it, on the banks of Xizi Lake, Wu Muzhi is not dead, look at it, at the top of Gusu City, Zixu's hatred is hard to calm down. Don't say that, in the end, a heroic soul, in the autumn wind is cold, and the rivers and seas are covered with sad sounds...". Accompanied by the Erhu, it spreads on the lively water surface, which looks particularly desolate.
"Go away, Mr. Shen, you sing a few more words, and all the guests will let you sing away." The second brother shouted at the boat opposite. The singing of the opposite person stopped and sighed, and the boatman pushed the boat away.
"Women, who is the singer? Do you seem to be a scholar?" Guo Pu called Xiaoer Jin and asked.
"Hi, please don't mention it. Which one else is the second son of the Shen family?" The waiter replied, looking at the cabin board, don't talk about the country's words, and no longer says anything more. Seeing this, Shisanlang quickly took out a piece of silver from his pocket and stuffed it into Xiao Er's hand.
The waiter refused, clenched his fists, hid the silver in his arms, and lowered his voice and said, "Hey, this second young master Shen is the grandson of Shen Wansan, who is well-known to everyone in Jiangnan. His family was once a wealthy man in Jiangnan. People said, "The shadow of dead trees, ten thousand three people," which means that someone knows where his family is rich. You three think they are from the north, and you say that you must know. Don't spread the story." The waiter looked around and saw that there were no ships approaching, and then continued, "Who knew that when his father's generation was his current generation, he offended the current emperor, and he was confiscated, and he was also imposed on Lingnan. The second young master Shen came back when the world was amnesty. At that time, the name of Shen Second Young Master Shen Bin was mentioned on the Qinhuai River, but everyone knew it. He helped his father manage the sea business since he was a child. That smart, Zhou
The maritime merchants who were in and out of the world respected him three points. They were also proficient in several national languages at sea, and they knew all about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. On weekdays, a group of rich young men followed him to eat, drink, play and spend money like soil. When the Shen family was defeated, Mr. Shen ignored him. If you think, who dared to hire him to do things, you can only make a living by writing music for others on the river. The world is in a cold and cold state. Last year, I got a serious illness and almost died on the river. I was lucky that a few girls who were good at that time paid him to find a doctor. These women had the benefits of Mr. Shen back then, and now I still remember to buy him order songs from time to time. Who likes to listen to his desolate songs? This is not a disguised way to help him! They all said that these women in the fun are ruthless. Alas, I want me to read, they are much more affectionate and righteous than those men who have read the books of sages."
Everyone sighed and Guo Pu asked again, "How did the Shen family offend the emperor?"
"Isn't it that I have money to burn it. I first offer dragon horns and platinum to the current emperor, and then donate money to build the city. I thought I would buy it, but who knew that the emperor suspected that his family was rebellious. The second young master Chen's father was also confused. He actually had to work hard for the army two years ago. The emperor was furious and wanted to exterminate the clan. Fortunately, the queen said something and then the family was sentenced to confiscation of the family property. The whole family was exiled to Lingnan. It was pitiful."
"Ah", everyone has been in a hurry these days, and they forgot the famous saying of being with the king and being with the tiger, and they couldn't help but feel silent.
On the way back to the inn, everyone was speechless all the way. After a while, Guo Pu whispered, "According to Brother Wu, the emperor of England could not kill innocent people hundreds of years ago. I am far from this aspect."
"If the king wants his minister to die, his minister has to die. In the hearts of many generations of emperors, everyone is his slave, and he will kill him. What's so great? When you think about it later, you may regret it. If you give him the title of a loyal minister, you will die. The name of a name is nothing." Shisanlang thought of his master and said angrily.
"The emperor thinks that everyone is his own slave, and it is not scary. What's poor is that almost everyone thinks that they should be the emperor's slave. When they are killed and demoted, they have to thank the master for their kindness. I don't know where this kindness is." Wu Anguo's words scared everyone again. Everyone looked around and whispered, "Brother Wu is drunk." But everyone knew in their hearts that these words were just talking to their hearts, but they had not summarized them. The thousand-year teachings of Confucianism are to make a person willing to be a slave.
This glass of wine tonight actually made everyone sober.
Note: In Jiangnan, Chen Wansan was not confiscated by Zhu Yuanzhang in history. In order to touch the darkness of the Ming Dynasty and tampered with history, the Qing Dynasty compiled this story. In order to increase the readability of the story, the drunkard spread rumors here. According to research, the historical truth is that Chen Wansan died before the founding of the Ming Dynasty and could not meet Zhu Yuanzhang at all. The so-called offering of dragon horns and other things is nonsense. The Shen family finally got into trouble because they were involved in the Lan Yu case, which was already in Hongwu for more than 20 years. The Ming history compiled by the Qing Dynasty may be the most unreadable of the twenty-four histories. At that time, the Jurchens tampered with and smeared a lot of truths for their own rule, which was not much better than the Japanese today. The drunkard mentioned this matter not to create ethnic conflicts, but just hoped that history would not be repeated again and again, just like that.
