Chapter 18 Chapter Eighteen

On the second day, Honami Koetsu reckoned that Okubo Changan had arrived in Fushimi, and set off from home after reporting everything about Jinshan to Tokugawa Ieyasu.Guangyue knew what happened at home last night, but he didn't want to interfere. Although Ah Xing is from her own family, she has been staying here all the time. It is pitiful and troublesome. She actually wants to go to Jinshan with Okubo Chang'an.Only men worked hard in the mines. After Chang'an took over, he believed that men would not be stable in the long run. After obtaining Ieyasu's permission, he built a house on the mountain where men and women could live together.

Chang'an may build magnificent mansions in Sado, Iwami, Izu and other places, and arrange women to take care of housework everywhere.Ah Xing must have already calculated these things and wanted to manipulate Chang'an.In any case, Ah Xing seems to suit Chang An's appetite.The two calculated each other, but they also had some sympathy for each other. Guangyue guessed that it would take about half an hour for Chang'an to go from Suo Sidai's mansion to Fushimi Castle, and then report the situation of Jinshan to Jiakang.Guessing that Chang'an had already left, Guangyue entered Fushimi Castle at noon.He was ordered by Ieyasu to go to Osaka, and after seeing Mrs. Yodo and Brother Katagiri, he came to report the incident.Therefore, he needs more time than Chang'an.He was in a very relaxed mood, and the matter of the honor bureau was considered settled, so Ieyasu must have breathed a sigh of relief.If possible, it would be even better to ask the general about the Fengguo Festival in person.

When they arrived at the inner court, Guangyue softly asked about Jiakang's schedule.There are many people waiting to see Ieyasu today.An acquaintance who served tea told Guangyue that there were five or six big names waiting outside. "I'm sorry, the general is meeting guests, please wait here." Guangyue was taken to a room where he used to wait to see Jiakang.Walking into the house, there were indeed many people waiting there.Inside he noticed a redhead with broad shoulders in a black cassock.Just as he was surprised, the man also turned his head to look at him. "This is Mr. Miura Anzhen, and this is Mr. Motoami Koetsu. The general said, please talk here first." The tea manager said to the two of them very politely, and then left.

This was the first time Guangyue met William Adams.He saluted and said: "I have heard about your name for a long time, and I am lucky to meet you today. I am the general's sword master Honami Guangyue." The blue-eyed samurai replied: "I am Miura, please take care of me." He spoke Japanese very authentically, and returned the salute politely. Sitting opposite the red-haired and blue-eyed foreigners in Fushimi Castle is a new look, Guangyue thought.The Japanese spoken by the needle is very good, and none of the priests Guangyue saw before could compare with him.His clothes are also completely Japanese, although they don't fit very well, but it can be seen that he likes Japan quite a lot, which makes Guangyue feel close.There is a sword on the right side of the needle waist, and a short knife pinned to the front. Everything looks very natural.

"When did Mr. Miura come to Japan?" "Qingchang five years." "So, it was the year of the Sekigahara War. I heard that you first came to the coast of Bungo." "Exactly. I have been under the care of the general." According to the needle, he glanced at Guangyue and continued, "We were sent to Daban City at the beginning. Because of the Portuguese slander, those Dutch people and I almost died, thanks to the general. My lord." His tone was a little stiff. Guangyue had also heard about this.There are also many sects in foreign religions. The believers in the Southern Man do not belong to the same sect as the believers in England and the Netherlands, and there are often quarrels.The Englishman Sanura Miura boarded a ship in the Netherlands as a navigator, and when he drifted to Bungo, a Portuguese missionary wrote to Ieyasu, saying that they were pirates, and insisted on killing them.But Ieyasu saved them.

"The first time I saw the General in Daban City was in March of the fifth year of Qingchang." According to the needle, he seemed to be bored, "Before we were imprisoned, we were desperate, but the General believed me .My humble servant said to the General that the Southern Barbarians are the land of the Old Church, while England and the Netherlands are the lands of the Protestant Church. So they slandered us badly, but we are definitely not the pirates they say." "Oh." "After Nayan, I stayed in prison for a while. It was mid-May when I was released and saw my lord again. At that time, my lord had made a thorough investigation and found out that we were not evil people. My lord asked us if we wanted to go back to the original on board."

"Oh, this is the first time I've heard of it." "We said yes, and your lord immediately agreed to let us go to Sakai Port. At that time, the Boai we took when we came had already arrived at Sakai Port. There, the survivors embraced each other and wept with joy..." Guangyue noticed that the voice of pressing the needle began to tremble, and quickly changed the subject: "You are from Edo to Fushimi this time..." "My lord said, let me find time to teach him astronomy and geometry." "I know a thing or two about astronomy, what kind of knowledge is geometry?"

"It's a science like arithmetic." "Oh." Guangyue hesitated.Ieyasu is actually interested in such knowledge? Ieyasu's thirst for knowledge far exceeds that of ordinary people.He is like a silkworm desperately eating mulberry leaves. Whenever he has a doubt, he will greedily eat up the knowledge that can solve the doubt.Whether it is Confucianism, Buddhism, foreign religion, or Chinese studies, as long as he has not fully understood it, he will ask endlessly.He tried to prepare even the commonly used medicines by himself instead of relying on doctors, which made it difficult for doctors.This time, Miura Anzhen also became his teacher.This made Guangyue feel both strange and admired.Soon in the future, Ieyasu will also find a boat and go to the sea alone.

"My lord general is a rare character." Pressing the needle again, "Ordinary kings are quite lazy. If they hear slander and slander, they will kill people indiscriminately. But your lord general is not like this." Pressing the needle, it seemed that Ieyasu did not know that Ieyasu had performed the gift of disciple to him, and his heart was still full of displeasure.After speaking, he went back to the matter of his imprisonment in Osaka City.In Europa at this time, there have been several wars between old and new forces.Of course, religious issues are particularly prominent.Because of this, the missionaries who were originally in Japan were very cruel to Miura Anzhen and the Dutch.

"The Netherlanders are robbers. They came here to plunder. Letting them go will cause disaster. The eighteen people who drifted here should be executed on the spot. Only in this way can we warn the rest of the robbers and prevent them from coming again. Find trouble." The missionaries tried their best to persuade Jia Kang to use the knife.However, after careful investigation, Ieyasu refuted them: "So far, the Dutch have not harmed me, nor have they harmed the emperor's people. It is unjust and immoral to kill them. Even if the Portuguese The two countries are enemies of England and the Netherlands, and I will absolutely not allow the kind people who come here to use my sword."

Ieyasu not only pardoned the needle injection, but also arranged for him to meet with the original crew again and gifted them 50,000 taels of gold to compensate them for the goods that were robbed by local people on the coast of Sakai Port. "Thinking about it now, in fact, the ones who incited the local people to rob the ship were also old believers. The general distinguished right from wrong, made a fair verdict, and saved us. This is the first time I have seen such an enlightenment." Press the needle, In order to express his gratitude, as long as it is for Jia Kanggong, he will do his best.He spoke in the tone of a warrior of old. Guangyue thought, Ie Yasuda wanted to understand the current situation in the West, master the knowledge of ships and navigation, and the knowledge of the West.Perhaps, pressing the needle is the prey caught by Ieyasu's net of seeking knowledge.Just thinking about it, the tea master came in. "Although Mr. Miura arrived before Mr. Benami, the general said that he wanted to settle the matter of Mr. Miura first, and then talk with Mr. Miura in detail. Mr. Benami, please move first." "Please first." Press needle is still polite.Guangyue also returned the salute respectfully and entered Jiakang's room. This is not the big academy where Ieyasu formally received the daimyo, but a small study at the end of the corridor. "Guangyue, it's been a hard trip. I heard that the matter over there in Osaka has basically been resolved." "My lord has heard of it?" "Yes, I came to the tea house early this morning." Ieyasu seemed to suddenly recall something, and said, "What did you and Miura talk about just now?" "Mr. Miura seems to never forget your kindness." "Chaya says that's where the acupuncture can be used." "He also mentioned geometry. What kind of knowledge does your lord want to learn?" "No, no." Ieyasu smiled and waved his hands, "In future transactions with other countries, we must not be biased." "My lord means..." "Haha, you won't understand if you think about it. You can't think that Westerners are Southern barbarians in general. Western Europa is also divided into two parts. The old forces such as Portugal and Ban are what we called Southern barbarians before. English and Nigerian The two emerging forces of De Lan are the red-haired people. The two must be distinguished." "yes." "The Miura Anzhen, which I appreciate and use now, was born in England and came to Japan on a ship from the Netherlands. He is obviously a red-haired man." "Oh." "If I trust the red-haired man to press the needle, the southern barbarians will be unhappy. They will think that we are close to the red-haired man, which is not conducive to the Japanese ships going to sea. So the tea house suggested that press the needle to go to Luzon, the stronghold of the southern barbarians, to visit Lord of Luzon." Guangyue shook her head lightly, blinking her eyes constantly.He didn't quite understand the purpose of the tea house. "Haha! In other words, asking the red-haired man to go to the stronghold of the Southern barbarians shows that we are neutral and do not belong to any side. He also said that Miura's needles will never hold grudges against the Southern barbarians. We want Have friendly exchanges with other countries, conduct peaceful transactions, and send envoys on their own initiative. How about it, isn’t the Chaya’s idea not bad?” "Yes." Although Guangyue said so, she still looked confused.He said: "In this way, it can be proved that Japan is a fair place?" "Yes, that's why I called Acupuncture to discuss this matter." Ieyasu smiled slightly, and took a sip of the tea served by Mrs. A Sheng. Guangyue thought that Ieyasu would ask Mrs. Yodo, but Ieyasu kept talking about overseas trade, and seemed to have forgotten about Osaka.As long as Jiakang doesn't ask, Guangyue doesn't want to mention it. According to Zhen, is it true that Ieyasu gave them 50,000 taels of gold in order to compensate Jing Zhen?Fifty thousand taels of gold is not a small amount. Thinking of this, Guangyue immediately forgot about the matter of Osaka. "Mr. Miura will be an excellent messenger. His heart is full of gratitude to your lord, and he thinks your lord is the wisest lord in the world." "He was a very trustworthy man." "Master General, I heard that you gave him fifty thousand taels of gold. Is this true?" "Well, yes, the ship needs to be repaired and loaded with cargo, and the gold is also necessary." "But wasn't it the eve of the Sekihara War?" "Yeah, not long after that, I went back to Edo." "At that time, military expenses were urgently needed. How could you give him so much gold?" Jiakang smiled and shook his head: "Guangyue, you also think I'm stingy? Don't worry, these fifty thousand taels of gold are all working now." "Why do you get so much gold by needle, or stay in Japan?" "Things didn't go well at the time. After that, I focused on dealing with the battle of Sekigahara and put the matter on hold. It is said that after they saw the 50,000 taels of gold, they had a disagreement." "That's a huge fortune!" "Yes, the final result is that everyone wants to divide the gold equally, and everyone can do what they like. If the gold is put together, they can still go to sea and leave Japan, but if they are divided, it will be impossible. At that time, Excluding those who died of illness, there were only thirteen and fourteen people left. Some of these people went to Hirado to make cannons, some went to Bungo, some went to Sakai Port, and some went to Edo. They either No gold was wasted by devoting myself to building a ship, or improving a gun. The pressing of the needle taught me a great deal, too." Guangyue couldn't help but patted her knees and said, "My lord, you have expected that if you give them 50,000 taels of gold, they will stay in Japan." Ieyasu smiled.Fifty thousand taels is indeed not a small sum, he really made a big determination. "Guangyue, if you want to introduce a new style, you can't be stingy with money. This is the difference between Tokugawa Ieyasu and Ishida Mitsunari." Ieyasu suddenly laughed. Ieyasu's meaningful smile hurt Guangyue.Buying all the knowledge and wisdom of Miura Yasuke and his companions with 50,000 taels of gold, this is a means of gaining insight into human feelings, which makes Guangyue feel somewhat unhappy.Giving them gold will make them part ways. This kind of thinking and practice is understandable, but now he proudly mentions 30% of the defeated generals and shows off his intelligence, which makes Guangyue very unhappy.But Guangyue could not remain silent, "Master General, I heard that Ishida Mitsunari is also very indifferent to money, and has not saved half a cent of gold or silver." "Yes, that's the difference between me and Sancheng." "It's the same frugality, what's the difference?" "Thirty percent bet all their money on the war, leaving nothing behind." "yes." "You think it's okay to do that?" "This...but it can't be generalized..." "No!" Ieyasu waved his hand gently, and continued, "Wars will end one day, but this world has no end. In the end, you end up penniless, and then you think that you can end it with death. This is a disregard for future generations." "Your Excellency gave them fifty thousand taels of gold because of the consideration of future generations?" "Yes, this is a relic I left to future generations. This is my original intention." "Relic?" "Yes. If war breaks out, maybe I will die on the battlefield, but according to the needle, they will stay, and their skills and knowledge will stay." "yes." "Even if you die, you still want to leave something for this world. Whether or not you have this kind of thought is the key to determine a person's talent and ability, what do you think?" "Master General," Guangyue was full of doubts, "Is it really out of such thoughts?" "If you don't believe me, I can't either. But nowadays, isn't shipbuilding technology much improved?" "Your Excellency already expected it?" "Guangyue, well, I was still on the battlefield at that time, and I don't even know if I can come back alive. Because of this, I said that I wanted to leave a relic for future generations. This was not a prediction or calculation. This is Tokugawa Ieyasu's gratitude to this world, and it is also the way of being a human being." At this point, Ieyasu seemed to have just remembered, and said, "Yes, we are going to talk about Mrs. Yodo. In your opinion, Will Mrs. Yodo and Hideyori get along in harmony in the future?" Ieyasu changed the subject first, and Guangyue couldn't continue to pester the fifty thousand taels of gold any longer. "Speak directly about Osaka." Ieyasu gently reminded Guangyue not to repeat the previous topic. Guangyue blushed and lowered her head, "Little people are stubborn by nature and often feel sorry for themselves." "Are you talking about Osaka?" "Forgive me, General. According to the news that the villain has inquired about, the relationship between the two seems not very good." "not good?" "Yes. Some people of insight think that it is better to separate Madam and Xiu Lai and stop living in the same city." "Live in a separate city?" "If this is not the case, there will continue to be dirty things in the future. Mrs. Yodo will make concessions on the matter of the glory. But this is for Miss Chihime's face. Koide Hidemasa and others said they were sick, and almost never went to the city. Even if they entered In the city, Mrs. Dian's cronies will decide all matters, big and small, how can you let Xiu Lai's cronies speak?" "Hidera is still a child, too young." "If this continues, he will lose his status even more. If Mrs. Yodo does not find another hermit city to separate her from him, the Toyotomi clan will be in chaos in the future. The Katagiri brothers often sigh like this." Ieyasu changed the subject again, "You really stick to common sense." "Yes, the villain is quite self-aware of this." "Okay, let's wait and see. After the matter of Rongju is settled, there is nothing to worry about. Besides, the Fengguo Festival will be held in the near future, so there must be some changes." Guangyue said nothing.There is no need to worry about losing the game, but there are still many problems in Osaka.No matter how old Hideyori grows, Mrs. Yodo's domineering nature cannot be changed.Even if the instructions of Nichiren Daishonin were brought out, the Toyotomi family had been split into two halves.If Qianji and the people around her were also involved, the matter would become more complicated, so she might as well make up her mind to separate Mrs. Dian from Hideyori.If Hideyori has few capable cronies around him, the Lord of Osaka City will always live in the shadow of his mother.It's just that Ieyasu doesn't seem to care about these things. "Mr. Miura is still waiting to see the adults, and the villain is leaving today." Ieyasu did not keep him, "Please take care of the future." After Guangyue stepped back, Ieyasu stared at the screen intently and fell into deep thought.Guangyue often sees things sharply, but this time his thoughts made Jiayasu somewhat worried.The problem that Guangyue sees is exactly what Jiakang is worried about.Hideyoshi entrusted Hidetoshi with Ieyasu, and asked Ieyasu to give him a corresponding position according to his ability.Even if Hideyoshi didn't say that, it was a matter of course.People can only do what they can, and it is always nowhere to be helped by others.Guangyue pointed out these clearly, and Ieyasu even felt that this was his idea at first.Guangyue is becoming more and more like Rikyu, both of them have the keenness to distinguish between good and evil.Once identified, they will speak out without any concealment. Ieyasu smiled helplessly, and said to Honda Masanori in the next room, "Masakazu, you can tell the acupuncture, it's fine." "Of order." After Zhengchun got up and went out, Ieyasu called Bu Zhai again and asked him to prepare a pen and paper: "Record the answer of the needle." "yes." "I want to be young again!" Bu Zhai didn't understand what he meant, he was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Mrs. A Sheng next to him.Ieyasu smiled slightly: "I don't mean women, but here." He pointed to his chest, and continued: "I mean, I have to change my mind, make myself younger, and let everyone see the difference between peace and chaos. " "Good regards, my lord." "If I don't clearly distinguish between yesterday and tomorrow, even Zhengchun and Zhengcheng will become antiques. How can there be buyers for old clothes?" "Your Excellency is wise." Bu Zhai nodded respectfully, and Ieyasu had already started to think about other issues. Can Miura follow the arrangement and go to Luzon as an envoy?If there is no real trust between the two, it may well be a risk.Let him build a ship, load it with cargo, and sail away, that is beyond Ieyasu's ability.According to the needle, if I miss my wife and children in my hometown, I go back to Xiyang alone, and it is possible not to go to Luzon.Rather than saying that this is a huge gamble, it is better to say that it is a contest between Ieyasu and Acupuncture. Mrs. A Sheng knew that Ben Duo Zhengchun and the tea maker would bring Miura in for acupuncture, and was about to get up to avoid it, but Ieyasu stopped her: "A Sheng, you stay." Ah Sheng seemed a little surprised: "Is it okay?" "It doesn't matter. The contest between Miura and I is about to start, you can stay here and take a look. When he comes, you can smoke with him." Asheng understood, but she was clearly at a loss. Ah Sheng's real name is Ah Ba, she is quick-witted and has a strong personality, so Ieyasu called her "A Sheng".Her previous child, Shiji, died unfortunately, and she was planning to adopt Mrs. Awan's second child as her adopted son.Ieyasu deliberately left Mrs. Asheng to meet with Miura Anzhen together, what was the consideration? "Master General, Mr. Miura is here." "Oh, press the needle, I've been waiting for a long time. Come, sit here." Kneeling at the door by pressing the needle, with both hands on the ground, like a warrior in ancient times, who respectfully worshiped Ieyasu, "The general is still as healthy as ever, and I am very pleased." His voice was a little strange, adding a touch of exoticism to the room. "According to the needle, how are you doing recently, do you still forget your homeland?" "Yes, I often dream of the scene of my hometown, and the trance is right in front of me." "This is human nature. I don't remember my birthplace, Okazaki, but in my dreams, I often wander in the Junfu where I lived when I was young." Ieyasu gave Asheng a wink while talking, and Asheng was respectful Handed the cigarette pouch to the needle. "Come on, take a breath and press the needle." Jiayasu said. "The villain is terrified, thank you General." "After the draw, the two of us will open up and talk about it. According to the needle, if I say that you are allowed to return to China, which route will you go back?" The question was a bit sudden, and Yasuke stared at Ieyasu with his blue eyes, and gently put down the pipe, "Master General, if you allow the villain to return to China, the villain wants to open up the Arctic Ocean route that no one has traveled before. Back home." "Oh?" Ieyasu felt admiration from the bottom of his heart. The southern sea route has been opened, and it is safe and convenient for pressing the needle.But going back that way seemed to hurt his William Adams pride. "According to the needle, I originally wanted to study geometry, but before that, I have something to discuss with you." "My lord, please give orders." "Your adventure is to open up a new route for the world?" "Exactly." "In service to your revered queen—what's that called—is it?" "Yes, for the great Queen Elizabeth, for the British Empire, and for the sailors of future generations..." "I understand. I really know your ambition. But Tokugawa Ieyasu still wants to open up a new path." "yes." "This road is not a sea route, but a peaceful road where everyone can live in peace." "The villain is so grateful." Pressing the needle was very moved, his eyes glowed, "The grand ambition of the general and the ambition of the Lord are the same goal by different routes." "People trade across oceans, not for war." "My lord's lesson!" "Wars are waged by fools who don't know the purpose of the war." "Exactly." "Smart people, people who have a way in their hearts, if they can open their hearts and enjoy the fun of exchanging what they need, they will be satisfied." "yes." "But in this world, this is far from the case. There are still many people who lose their lives in order to win small profits." Miura pressed the needle and slapped his knees continuously.The uprightness of this blue-eyed man is somewhat reminiscent of Kato Kiyomasa, but he likes to show his thoughts on his face more than Kiyomasa. "Press the needle, in your opinion, isn't the dispute between the southern barbarians and the red-haired people stupid?" "It's really stupid. They both believe in the Lord, but they have to be divided into two factions to fight each other. The villain thinks that this is actually a stupid war launched by the old forces who are afraid of new things." "According to the needle, do you want to work together with me to open up a sea route connecting people in the world? What everyone is looking for is not war, but the joy of exchanging needs. Someone will open up this road one day , If not, the sea route you finally opened up may only become a road to war, what do you think?" Ieyasu squinted his eyes, observing the expression on the needle. The face where the needle was pressed became redder, and the flames burning in the heart seemed to jump to the face. "Your Excellency is wise." He said without hesitation, "Originally, ships were used for peaceful sailing. But since then, they have been used for war and aggression. If this mistake is not corrected, it will develop out of control to the point where there is bloodshed because of boats, and people can kill each other because of boats." Ieyasu nodded vigorously, and said: "So, you and I have the same idea: for peace, you can do your best, right, press the needle?" "Yes. To disobey the Lord is to disobey the will of the Lord." Jiakang asked the tea manager to bring a cup of tea to the needle, Fang said: "Let me tell you, I will definitely fulfill your wish in the future." "future?" "It will take a long time to build a ship that can take you back to your motherland by detouring the northern seas, so I'm talking about the future." The pins lowered his blue eyes. "You said that there are a lot of ice floes in the sea to the north, remember?" "yes." "The boat must be built strong enough to withstand the ice pack." "yes." "We must settle down and build such a ship." "According to the needle is also thinking about these." "According to the needle, you must have understood. There is no rush to build a new ship. You might as well settle down, marry a wife and have children in Japan, and start building ships that open up new sea routes." "Marry a wife and have children?" "That's right. I heard that the old doctrine of foreign religion stipulates monogamy, and after the wedding, they are not allowed to separate. But the red-haired people are more free on this point. In this case, before building a satisfactory ship, it is better to take the Japanese Treat it as your second hometown, how about it?" Pressing the needle's face suddenly covered with a layer of sadness, showing hesitation.He probably remembered the long distance between this place and his hometown. "You often say you want to serve the Queen." "yes." "For the sake of the queen, fight for the right to trade in the Eastern countries, wash away the bad reputation of pirates, and on this basis, discover new routes and return home. To do this, you must have corresponding preparations and timing. What do you think? ?” Ieyasu rarely talked to people in this way of inducement, "If you have such determination, I will do my best to help you. In fact, I already have a woman who is quite suitable for you in my heart. It is Asheng My sister is a very good woman." Mrs. A Sheng was taken aback, she raised her head and stared at Jiakang closely, where did she have an extra sister? Ieyasu didn't care about Mrs. Asheng's surprised eyes at all, and said: "A man must have a woman to accompany him if he wants to live. If you have this intention, settle down in your territory Miura and start building ships, and I will match you right away. Needle, what do you think?" Anger appeared in the eyes that pressed the needle again, and after a long while, he took a cautious look at Mrs. A Sheng. The needle is still young.Ieyasu gave him a mansion at Yamato Bridge in Edo, and there were several female servants in that mansion.But according to the needle, he has been suppressing his desire. He is afraid of causing unnecessary disputes because of women.Ieyasu heard about this from Doi Toshikatsu, and he wanted to get rid of his nostalgia for acupuncture by means of marriage.But why do you say that the woman is Ah Sheng's younger sister? The sight of pressing the needle returned from Ah Sheng to Ieyasu, and he let out a long sigh.Hitherto, he had repressed his desires like an old believer, thinking that his self-respect was a matter of life and death.However, today his heart is like a mess, and his desires are starting to burn, you can tell from this. "Your Excellency, General." Pressing the needle, he said weakly, "The villain is already in chaos." "Oh, according to the needle, I don't want to use female sex as bait. I am also a man, so I naturally understand your difficulties. Therefore, if you want to concentrate on building a ship safely, you must have a woman like A Sheng by your side." "Then...then, after the ship is built..." "First of all, it is necessary to test the voyage. First, go to the southern sea and sail for a while. If you can withstand the waves there, you can go to the northern sea." "Then, during the trial voyage, did you go to Luzon?" "Not once, I will send you to Siam again. Anyway, this is also to seek a new route. If you don't know where you are going, the painstaking efforts you have made for a long time will be in vain. Do you understand, press the needle, I am I want to do my best to reassure you." Honda Zhengchun on the side almost laughed out loud, and quickly covered his face with a fan.From Masamune's point of view, Ieyasu is actually playing tricks.He believes that Ieyasu has played with the kind wanderer Miura in the palm of his hand. But the needle is always quite serious.Hearing what Ieyasu said, he breathed a sigh of relief, "So, the villain went to Luzon for the sake of the general, from the northern sea..." "Yeah, it's good for both of us." "The little man understands. The little man will quickly start building a ship, so that he can build a big ship that can sail in the northern sea full of ice floes." Jiakang nodded slightly, turned to Mrs. A Sheng and said, "A Sheng, I also need some to serve the needle." When the food was served, Ieyasu asked someone to bring out the red wine, and specially asked Ah Sheng to pour the wine.Pressing the needle is quite frightening.Jia Kang felt that he was pitiful and ridiculous. Just now Ieyasu said that according to the needle to build a western ship, according to the needle is actually very clear, it is really difficult.Although he is good at sailing, he is not a shipbuilder.However, on the eve of the Sekigahara Battle, Ieyasu made up his mind that if he was lucky enough to survive, he would make good use of Anzhen and others. Therefore, Ieyasu cleverly dispatched the captain of the Boai, the ship that Anzhen and others were on board, to Edo.William Adams became Miura Yasui.St. Fruit became Yaesu (yeah Yangzi).Ieyasu divided the mansion for them in Edo.The people of Edo called the place where Anzhen lived, Anzhen Town, and the place where Ye Yangzi lived, Yaesu Town, and they got along very well.In other words, the two of them seemed to be Ieyasu's captives. If he was a local, he would definitely say that Ieyasu was treacherous, and he would get angry.However, they are different. They will only accept the benefits of Jiakang with peace of mind when they know that they will be useful.On the contrary, they feel uneasy about those inexplicable preferential treatment. Ieyasu picked up his chopsticks, and while munching on the barley rice, he pondered how the late Taiko's administration differed slightly from his own.After Hideyoshi pacified the world with his strength, he didn't seem to know what to do, and he was born with great energy, so he started the reckless act of conquering North Korea.Hideyoshi had many reasons for launching that war, and the influence of foreigners is one of them. Around May of the first year of Qingcho, near Tosa, a Banguo merchant ship, the St. Philip, ran aground on the reef while sailing from Luzon to Mexico (Mexico). At that time, Hideyoshi immediately dispatched Masuda Nagamori, one of the five magistrates, to confiscate his goods.Because at that time he not only banned foreign religions, but also banned trade with Nanman.But the captain at that time, Dai Landa, had threatened Masuda Changsheng.He opened a map in front of Changsheng, and said: "Our country's territory now spreads all over the world and is vast and boundless. If you dare to abuse the citizens of such a big country, the consequences will be disastrous!" Masuda Changsheng said: "How did your emperor obtain such a vast territory?" The captain straightened his chest and said: "The method is: first send missionaries to the place, expand the influence of Catholicism, and make the local natives surrender, and then send troops to cooperate with the local believers to conquer the place." At that time, Hideyoshi had not completely given up the idea of ​​conquering the Ming Dynasty. He patted his chest after hearing Masuda Changsheng's report, and laughed loudly: "If we don't start quickly, there will be no land to conquer." Whenever Ieyasu thought of this, he couldn't help smiling.He often reminded himself that he must not repeat Hideyoshi's mistakes.Going to heaven will only give people a special talent, and those who are good at war are often not good at governing the country, but no matter what happens, peace is often achieved by those who are good at war.After finally using war to bring peace to the world, if they find that they have nothing but war, then they will seek new opportunities for war soon.Hideyoshi is a good example, but the scale of the war he launched is too large. Ieyasu found another place where people can gallop, and he opened the map of the world in a way completely different from Hideyoshi.The continents in the world are vast and the seas are boundless.In this vast world, there are not only the Nanmans and Tang people, but also the red-haired men who know etiquette and trustworthiness are sailing on the sea adventurously... The first thing to do is shipbuilding.Ieyasu has ordered Kadokura, Kameya, Sueyoshi, Amagasakiya, Kiya, Sueji, Arabu, Takabu and others headed by Chaya Seiji to start manufacturing.Most of them were the owners of the original nine Shuin ships, and they were in charge of each other, and they were carrying out Ieyasu's plan in an orderly manner. However, in terms of navigation and shipbuilding technology, Japan lagged far behind the Nanban people.As the person in charge of the world, what Ieyasu should do is to taste and absorb Western knowledge. "Acupuncture, have you considered it?" Ieyasu asked with a smile, watching the acupuncture while eating and thinking, "You must want to return to your motherland as soon as possible, right?" "Exactly." "At this time, I let you marry a wife and have children in Japan. However, it seems that I want to keep you, but it is not the case." "yes." "Haste makes waste. Sailing is the same as fighting. By the time you discover your mistake, you will have already lost your life. If you lose your life, you will lose everything. Therefore, be steady and not rush. It is a shortcut to realize wishes, and those with foresight will surely understand this." "Yes." Pressing the needle seemed a little at a loss, blinked his eyes and leaned forward, "When I was a teenager, the villain spent some time in the Rem shipyard on the banks of the Thames in his hometown." "Oh?" "Over there, as an apprentice in the shipyard, the villain learns sailing skills, but he only knows a rough idea of ​​how to build a ship." Ieyasu nodded with a smile. "General, I want to build a shipbuilding platform in Ito, Izu. There are many trees there, suitable for shipbuilding." "it is good." "First build a ship of less than 100 tons and use it as a model. Then let it sail to the Asakusa River for the general to have a look at." This forty-year-old foreigner is as conceited and arrogant as a boy. People have weaknesses, and if they make mistakes in judgment, they will offend others.Therefore, those who have insight into other people's minds are also the easiest to persuade others.Ieyasu seems to have grasped the key point. After a few words, Yasuke seems to be ready to devote himself to shipbuilding and realize his dream. "Do you want to build a ship in Ito and sail to Asakusa River?" "Yes. This is the first ship. After the success, we quickly started to work on the second ship. You can get such appreciation from the general, and you have become more cautious in doing things." "Very well. In the course of the first ship's voyage, some imperfections will surely be discovered." "Exactly. After discovering the weakness, I started to improve it and built another ship of about 120 to 30 tons." Pressing the needle blushed excitedly, "If it was before, the villain would definitely drive it into the ship regardless of everything. In the sea of ​​ice. But now, even if it is the second and third ships, before confirming their sailing capabilities, they must be safe and sound, not in a hurry." "That's good." Ieyasu smiled slightly, "Press the needle, do you know why you have a calm mind?" "Understood. The villain obtained Miura's land from the general. But just like that, I can't feel at ease. Now I suddenly feel at ease because the general..." "Because I'm going to match you, 'Would you accept it too?'" "Yes. Humans, like birds and beasts, must have a nest to be stable. The villain will build his own nest according to the wishes of the adults... The moment he thinks like this, the villain suddenly feels that he is no longer so impatient." After expressing his thoughts, his face became redder, and he secretly glanced at Mrs. A Sheng. Mrs. A Sheng quickly turned her head and looked at Jiayasu. 家康脸上依然挂着暖昧的微笑，点了点头。家康心中是否真的有了合适的人？既明说是阿胜的妹妹，定然是有了合适的人选，让她作为阿胜的义妹便是。 “伊东确实有一条不甚宽，但颇为合适的河。小人想在那条河上建一个造船所，便是船坞，或者说是可航至海上的地方。” “是啊，伊豆助川也要用上了。” “是。今日乃是大吉之日，请将军大人命令向井兵库，迅速着手准备。” 一听要娶新娘，按针似立刻年轻了十岁。阿胜夫人忙用衣袖掩住嘴。
