A knife in love

Li Qiufeng talked with Songshan Yilu, and before he knew it, two or three hours had passed. He saw that Songshan Yilu wanted to win him to work for the Matsuda family, and he would not do anything easily, so he no longer acted like he did just now. Panic.It's just that he knows that Songshan Yilu is extremely cunning, if he plays tricks and has other plans, although he is not afraid, it is not easy to protect Murong Danyan and Ye Fengchun comprehensively.Although Li Qiufeng wished that the old guy would take his samurai out immediately, but in order not to let Songshan Yilu see his flaws, he could only bear with himself and dragged around with Songshan Yilu to procrastinate.Seeing the sun slanting to the west, and it was almost dusk, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that after dark, the surroundings are dark, Miss Murong and I are quite familiar with Hanshan Fishing Village, but this old guy and his warriors It's a newcomer, far behind us geographically.In this way, even if he wants to turn against us and fight in the dark, this old guy won't be able to take advantage of it.

When Li Qiufeng was thinking about it, he only heard Songshan Yilu go on to say: "The family of the nine surnames didn't know that the court of the Ming Dynasty had undergone great changes, and they were full of joy waiting to return to the Middle Earth, but Daming never sent anyone to come to meet them. The patriarchs and elders of the family of the nine surnames They couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. In desperation, they sent envoys to the capital of Daming to meet with the Minister of Rites and other ministers in charge, and implored the court to issue a Kanhe so that they could return to China as soon as possible.

"At that time, the minister of the Ministry of Rites had been replaced by Wang Zhen's henchman. This man was a treacherous villain. He only thought about corruption and making money all day long. How could he have any intention of doing anything serious? I heard that someone from Fusang Kingdom asked to see him. This corrupt official Ignore it at all, and sent a small official to deal with the envoy of the Nine family. The small official has worked in the Ministry of Rites for many years and knows the priorities of the matter. He has also heard that some survivors of the Song Dynasty fled to Fusang Kingdom and wanted to return. In Zhongtu, when the first emperor was alive, he once asked the Ministry of Rites to take charge of this matter. However, the matter was not completed yet, and Emperor Xuande passed away, so the matter was delayed. This time, the envoys of the survivors of the Song Dynasty came to the capital to see the Minister of Rites. There must be no delay in this important matter. After meeting with the envoy of the Nine Family, the junior official hurriedly reported the matter to the Minister of the Ministry of Rites. The Minister of the Ministry of Rites did not dare to neglect, so he told the matter to the Minister of the Ministry of Rites. The Minister of the Ministry of Rites did not hesitate to Take this matter to heart and ask the Minister of Rites to write a memorial and submit it to the cabinet. After the cabinet discusses it, it will be submitted to the emperor for a decision on the matter.

"After looking through the memorial, several cabinet scholars thought that the return of more than ten thousand Song Dynasty adherents living in Fusang Kingdom to the Middle Earth was an unprecedented event. It can be seen that the reign of the Holy Son of Heaven and the obedience of the barbarians is a good thing. Therefore, after several cabinet scholars discussed, they sent the memorial to the palace and handed it over to the eunuch who was in charge of the ceremony, and the leader of the supervisor was Wang Zhen. After the young eunuch sent the memorial, Wang Zhen didn't even read it. , and immediately asked the person who submitted the letter if he had given the money. The little eunuch said that he only saw the memorial, but not the gift list. After Wang Zhen heard this, his face changed drastically, and he cursed, ridiculing that there are such ignorant people in the world, and then sent the memorial He stayed in China and refused to send him, and he simply ignored the request of the family of the nine surnames. The poor envoy sent by the family of the nine surnames to Daming waited in the capital for a year, and went to the Ministry of Rites every day to inquire about news. Talking, I asked him to sit down and have a cup of tea. Later, a small official was changed to handle the matter, and his attitude towards him changed drastically. A relative of the eunuch, the deputy head of the Yumajian, spent 300 taels of silver and became a small official in the Ministry of Officials. This person took out 300 taels of silver, and naturally he had to get his money back with interest. Therefore, after he arrived at the Ministry of Rites, he wanted to make a fortune , Anyone who came to the Ministry of Rites to ask him to do business, if he didn't take money as a bribe, he immediately ignored him with a black face. The envoys of the nine surnames have always lived in Fusang Kingdom, and have never dealt with officials of Fusang Kingdom, let alone with them. The officials of the Ming Dynasty did not understand the bad rules and customs in the officialdom, and did not give money to the officials, so they could not even drink tea. Every time they asked to see the officials, they were sent away with a few words. Later, even He couldn't even enter the gate of the Ministry of Officials, so he was chased away by the guards. The envoy waited in the capital for more than a year. Seeing that his money was about to run out, but he didn't even get a message, he had no choice but to leave the capital in a hurry. Take the boat back to Fusang, and report the matter to the clan heads and elders of the family of nine surnames. After the clan heads and elders heard about it, it was as if someone poured cold water on their heads. Frustrated."

When Songshan Yilu said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "Afterwards, the family of the nine surnames sent envoys to the middle land several times, but each time they returned without success. Later, the Tartars defeated The Ming army, Daming was almost overthrown by the Tartars. After learning from the pain, the Ming court dispatched troops and generals to guard the front line of the Great Wall, and at the same time strengthened the sea ban to prevent Japanese pirates from harassing the coast. They wanted to land on the shore and go to the capital, but they met officers and soldiers of the Daming Navy at sea. The two sides did not agree with each other, and even fought. Although the envoy and his servants are proficient in navigation and have excellent water skills, they are traveling on merchant ships. , It is not comparable to the gunboat of the Daming Navy. After a scuffle, the envoy's ship was sunk by the gunboat of the Daming Navy. One of the servants was lucky enough to survive by holding the planks of the ship, but was rescued by a passing merchant ship, and he escaped with his life.

"After the two returned to Fusang Kingdom, they reported the matter to the patriarchs and elders of the family of the nine surnames. The heads and elders of the families were shocked when they heard about it, thinking that the Ming court sent a navy to intercept and kill the envoy sent by the family of the nine surnames. Nine times out of ten, they became suspicious of the family of the nine surnames, and they were no longer allowed to return to the middle land. Since then, the family of the nine surnames finally gave up on the matter of returning to the middle land, and only wanted to live in Fusang. In order to keep the water village, they I have to make friends with the daimyos of the left and near, lest these daimyos join hands to destroy them. Those daimyos are fighting with each other endlessly. Seeing that the Nine Surnames sent people to make friends, it was in the middle of their hearts, and they all wanted to use the Nine Surnames to deal with other daimyos. Therefore, they all formed alliances with the families of the nine surnames. In order to be able to live in Fusang, the families of the nine surnames tried their best to deal with these big names, and often sent their children from the clan to work for these big names. If a big name gives them benefits, they will send people to help them. To be honest, the behavior of the family of the nine surnames is not much different from those assassins who take money and kill people. Over the years, the family of the nine surnames has done many bad things, even There have also been evil deeds of massacring villages, which are more vicious than robbers and thieves in the rivers and lakes. As your Excellency, how can you be in cahoots with this group of villains full of crimes?"
