Three huge sea ships sailed into the estuary of the Yangtze River. A ship that was ordered to patrol had been greeted. After a few negotiations between the two sides, two warships even sailed out of the Chongming Navy Port, guarding them on both sides of the sea ship and going up the river together., Chinese, novels...

Both sides maintained the same speed, threw ropes from the warships and connected them to the seaships. Then there were wooden boxes two feet square ziplines from the warships to the seaships. The sloppy sailors cheered and filled with the things they were looking forward to most, fresh vegetables, fatty and delicious lamb, fresh rice, grapes, apples, pears, and dozens of fruits.

The sailors' eyes turned green. They grabbed a bunch of grapes and stuffed them into their mouths, swallowing them voraciously, and ate them all in a few strokes. When the officer's whip came, they grinned and smirked, regardless of whether they were beaten or not, anyway, I was so excited that the officer was so angry that he could only stamp his feet.

"I'm pretending to be dead, and I won't send it to the eldest son!"

"Oh, go now!"

Several soldiers ran into the cabin with their boxes in their arms. They left home at the beginning of the year. In almost a year, Tang Ping'an had a lot taller than before, but he also lost a lot of weight. The originally cute baby was gone and became a heroic boy with big eyes, high cheekbones and tight lips.

He sat silently in the cabin, constantly flipping through a book, but the pages were all worn. The lines were filled with small words with comments, obviously reading them very hard.

When he closed the pages of the book, three big words were revealed: Four Barbarians’ ambitions!

There is also a line of words below, the first draft of Xiaozhai, Xiaozhai, in the 42nd year of Jiajing.

This book "The Four Nobles" was officially written by Tang Yi during a small station.

Tang Yi has been in the industry for more than ten years. Apart from the Three Books of Tang Xueshu, he seems to have never written anything else. In fact, Tang Yi has also written a general war, an accounting minutes, and this "Four Barbarians' Records".

In this book, Tang Yi explored the history of almost all surrounding countries, analyzed their national personalities, and proposed strategies to solve border problems. Tang Yi proposed three main treasures, one is to promote Confucian concepts and weaken the strength of various countries, the second is to own trade, promote personnel exchanges, and the third is to encourage intermarriage and assimilation of immigrants.

Tang Yi believed that in the past, due to the isolation of mountains, the Central Plains dynasty was powerless to the four barbarians. Now the sea route is smooth, and taking a boat to Annan and other places is even more convenient than the north-south transportation of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty had the physical conditions to assimilate the four barbarians.

Tang Yi even proposed that as the Western barbarians invaded the East, small vassal states in Nanyang and other places would inevitably feel a strong survival crisis. If the Ming Dynasty could shoulder the banner of fighting against the Western barbarians, take the opportunity to conquer the vassal states, expel Westerners, and then control the South China Sea, and enter the Indian subcontinent, the Ming Dynasty would have a huge human resources similar to the local population.

At that time, it would be equivalent to every Ming Dynasty person having an overseas slave, so life should not be too beautiful...

The Four Barbarians' Records are full of conspiracies and plots, and the strong are prey on the weak. Not to mention during the Jiajing Dynasty, Tang Yi did not dare to take it out. Even when he arrived at the Longqing Dynasty, he was not sure whether he should be thrown out.

However, others don’t know that Ping An, who wandered around Tang Yi’s study every day, discovered this secret. He still remembered the scene of his father writing under an oil lamp when he was a child. He was too young at that time and could not even recognize the words, so he naturally did not understand the key to the book. When he was eleven or twelve years old, he studied the Four Books and Five Classics, passed the Records of the Grand Historian, and had a foundation in history. When he read the works of his father, Tang Ping An was completely shocked.

It turned out that under the mask of my father's humble gentleman, he had such a cruel and sinister face. But he was so ruthless and sinister to his appetite. Ping An once felt that he had the potential to be a little treacherous minister, but he was a little treacherous minister. Then wasn't my father a big treacherous minister?

Until he went out to sea and walked around Japan again, Ping An finally figured out that countries are really different from domestic ones.

In the Ming Dynasty, no matter how bad it is, there are rules and laws, but when you go overseas, it is the cruelest jungle law, and there is no benevolence or righteousness to talk about.

Ping An put the book down, stretched his body, and walked outside.

"Young Master, look, there are fruits."

Like a sailor offering treasures, he delivered the box to Ping An.

Ping An's eyes also lit up. After eating bean sprouts for more than ten days, the water on the boat was still deteriorating, so he had to use rice wine to cook bean sprouts. Not to mention the unsperms, there were also many beans that had not sprouted. After eating them, they farted and the smell in the cabin was indescribable. Fortunately, Japan and the Ming Dynasty were not far away. If they were sailing around the world, they heard that the meat would be full of deworming. The sailors had to eat maggots and eat the leftovers, and some of them simply ate insects... and they would get goosebumps all over their bodies.

"Go and call that fat man over and let him eat something too."

Not long after, a middle-aged man was swaying from outside and trotted over. He looked not very fat, but the skin on his face dropped, like a Shapei dog.

He came in and shouted excitedly: "Land, land, I saw land!"

"It's so rare!" Heian was full of contempt, "Mr. Tokugawa Ieyasu, congratulations, you're alive to the Ming Dynasty!"

This guy is nothing else, it is Tokugawa Ieyasu.

With the help of the Ming people, Oda Nobunaga defeated his opponent. After the war, he became more and more aware of the importance of the Ming Dynasty and had to send important people to the Ming Dynasty to learn scriptures. He originally wanted to go by himself, but he had just won the battle and was full of troubles and did not dare to leave.

Finally, after thinking about it, he chose Tokugawa Ieyasu. This guy was a proton in his early years and had a deep friendship with Oda Nobunaga. All Japan opposed Oda, and only Tokugawa Ieyasu stood on his side. Although Tokugawa was not very strong, Takeda Shingen had urinated, but he was a confidant ally and was quite smart, so he sent him to go back to the Ming Dynasty with Tang Ping'an.

When I entered the estuary of the Yangtze River and saw my own people, Ping An realized that my father accompanied the emperor to Suzhou and would be able to see him soon!

Ping An suddenly felt sore in his nose and his eyes were red.

Tokugawa, who was coughing his head and looked at it, asked, "I miss home."

"Miss you a big-headed ghost!"

Heian glared at Tokugawa and kicked him twice.

He pinched his waist in annoyed manner, "Tell you that from now on, you will not eat, drink, or sleep. This young master will teach you Chinese language and learn the great gift of seeing the emperor!"

"Emperor! Emperor?" Tokugawa Ieyasu swallowed a large piece of pear hard, and his head was frozen.

Ping An was so sorry that he could not make a strong man and cursed: "I fool, I am the supreme king of the Ming Dynasty and the emperor of the world, and I am not comparable to the decorations of your country! You are so lucky that you can see the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and my father. I really don't know what luck you have left!"

To be honest, Tokugawa Ieyasu is very smart, but unfortunately he just vomited enough while on the boat, and then he took the opportunity to learn a little Chinese, and he could only hear less than 30%.

However, judging from Ping An's expression, it should not be a bad thing.

Soon, Heian called several gentlemen on the boat and taught Tokugawa Ieyasu to shout long live my emperor, and kowtowed and bowed again. The fat man shrank along the way. After all this tossing, he looked like he was getting smaller.

Don’t worry about how well you learn etiquette, there are finally some people who can show off their skills.

They also got ashore from Liujiagang, set foot on the land of the Ming Dynasty, and returned to their hometown. The young man whose peace was pressing in his heart was released. He ran, jumped, and shouted loudly, making the passers-by think that a little lunatic had come.

But Tokugawa Ieyasu followed closely behind, looking at both sides of the road from time to time. To be honest, his heart was shocked or unparalleled!

The wide and flat road is not known what to make. It is as hard as stone and is not afraid of water. There is no one in Kyoto that can be found.

On both sides of the road, there are irrigation canals that stretch to the sky. Farmers are busy harvesting the paddy fields. The rice is cut off, and there are still many fish swimming in the mud. It turns out that when planting rice seedlings in spring, put the fish fry into the rice field. The fish will eat pests, weeds, screws, and small crabs, so that the rice seedlings can avoid harm, and the fish feces can also fatten the fields.

After the rice is harvested, the rice-flowered fish will be taken away. The family can enjoy the fat fish meat and marinate it into dried fish. If there is still a surplus, it won’t be a big deal. Horse racing is popular in the southeast, and fish meal is the best thing.

Every household prepared a huge soup pot, tidy up the fish, threw it into the pot, and cooked it so that the bones and meat were rotten, and the aroma was floating everywhere.

Tokugawa Ieyasu tried his best to spit out, be good, it was so extravagant. This is the Upper Country of the Celestial Empire, it is simply a paradise?

Ping An couldn't stand the sound of this guy swallowing saliva, so he found a fellow villager's house, took a silver dollar, and exchanged for five fat rice-flowered fish. The monkey was quick to deal with and cleaned the fish scales, gills, and intestines, and threw them into the pot to stew.

Tokugawa Ieyasu shook his head frequently, "Fish is a ingredient given by God. You must eat it intact to taste the natural taste and is the healthiest for the body."

Qi Anguo poked Ping'an, "Is it true?"

Ping An rolled his eyelids, "The poor are reluctant to throw things away, they all say that the family is worth a lot of money!"

Qi Anguo laughed loudly, "Brother, it's sharp enough!"

Tokugawa Ieyasu buried his head in his chest and said nothing. Soon he raised his head and the fragrance of the fish floated out. The monkey sprinkled a circle of salt into the pot, turned over the fish with a shovel, drank the soup, and gave Ping'an one first. He and Qi Anguo one each, and the remaining two, no need to ask, they all came to Tokugawa's fat man.

The three of them ate, and each of them wiped out half of the strip. Looking up, Tokugawa Ieyasu was scooping out the soup in the pot, dipped it in the steamed buns, and quickly wiped it out. Then he burped it comfortably and leaned against the stove, making a loud snoring.

You can eat and sleep, no wonder you are so fat!

Qi Anguo covered his face and said depressedly: "I said Ping An, let's bring a pig, what can I do when I point him?"

Ping An didn't care, "Pig is good, easy to feed. As long as he is obedient, we have the ability to turn him into a one-stop. If he is disobedient, even if he is a one-stop, he can still eat meat!"

After hearing this, the monkey nodded repeatedly, "Young Master Ping'an is domineering, it's so good!"

The three little guys were talking and laughing, but they didn't notice that Tokugawa Ieyasu's ears moved slightly twice... (To be continued.)
