Chapter 4 Three authentic Tang styles on the eve of the general attack
On the sea.
Sun Xiulin was also very satisfied when he stood on the "Uzha" ship where Suna was personally captained.
Like the Ming people at this time, except for Jiannu and Tartar slaves, they were still somewhat afraid of the military strength advantages formed by the Ming army for a long time. However, as a proud Ming scholar, they still had a psychological advantage over the Korean, Japanese, and the southwest barbarians.
If Nikan had come in person, this would never have been the case because of the burden of future generations.
There were two people standing beside Sun Xiulin. One of them was originally a scholar from Zhejiang. He was arrogant and arrogant. Because he was dissatisfied with Zheng Zhilong's practice of buying the pass-through flag, the Zheng family snatched the ship and goods without hesitation, which led to his loss of money. In the end, he had to defect to the Hangzhou merchants and remain silent.
Before this person was robbed, he often traveled between Hirado and Hangzhou. Over time, he learned Japanese.
This year, the Shen family made the decision they thought the most important of the family, making Chen Mo give up doing business and join Hanhai Kingdom as a scholar. Chen Mo had a close relationship with Sun Xiulin and often sang and lyrics together. Moreover, Jeju Island was closest to the Ming Dynasty, so he joined Jeju Island.
Sun Xiulin was very happy. After reporting to the Ministry of Personnel, he asked him to work with him in Jeju Prefecture for half a year. After being familiar with the rules of Hanhai Kingdom, he was sent to Jinan (that is, Nanjieju County in later generations) to serve as the governor.
After silently, he went to Hanhai Kingdom, and the man also came with him. Seeing that he was proficient in Japanese, Sun Xiulin arranged for him to work in the customs office of the mall.
Now Nikan has arranged for Sun Xiulin to go to Kyushu to deal with Shimahara's affairs, and has brought him.
Pan Xuezhong, a scholarly businessman who is about the same age as Sun Xiulin.
Another person is Li Yangeng, the governor of Jeju Prefecture.
In theory, a prefect and a garrison should be left with one guard, but after Nikan considered it, he still asked Li Yangeng to go to Jiuzhou with Sun Xiulin.
Li Yangeng was a military scholar from Liaodong. His every move was quite like a Han military general. If another general, Dachun, was asked to follow him, the demeanor of the envoy of the Heavenly Kingdom would definitely not be revealed.
Not long after, a small boat came in front of him. In addition to the boat paddling boat, the other person was Yanagawa Shizuo who arrived here in advance.
"Sir Sun, the Japanese General said that only one ship is allowed to enter the port."
"General?"
A strange name.
Yanagawa Shizuo quickly introduced: "This person has a high position in Japan, and is now second only to the Emperor, the Shogun, and is equivalent to the Minister of the Ming Dynasty and the Minister of the Minister of the Ming Dynasty."
"Oh well"
Under the guidance of the small boat, Suna commanded the Uzha slowly sailed into the narrow harbor of Nagasaki, while other ships stopped near Okino Island on the sea outside the port.
As Matsuhira Nobuzu's base camp, there are naturally Japanese ships with alert near the harbor. These ships are parked at the entrance between Okino Island and the island of God, staring at the ships that seem a little unkind.
As the Kyushu islands at this time, I had seen both the tall Garen ships of the Western Yi and the majestic black ships under Zheng Zhilong. However, these ships all had red seals issued by the Japanese shogunate, and the ship names, quantity, and goods were clearly stipulated in red seals. Of course, like other places, it was impossible to trade completely according to the shogunate regulations, and personal fraud was also indispensable.
With the little water power of Japan at this time, it is impossible for it to completely eliminate smuggling trade.
But so many ships without red seals suddenly broke in, which naturally aroused the vigilance of Nagasaki's ship.
By this year, two other ships of the same class have also been launched and have been named "Merdiller" and "Ora".
In this way, the names of the five major Soren tribes on the Nibchu Prairie were all gone. After learning the news, the five tribes were also filled with emotion.
The bottoms of the five ships are covered with copper. They can sail for half a year without having to clean the bottom of the ship. In an emergency, there is no problem with sailing for one year.
It is still the style of Sahalian II, but it is slightly larger than Sahalian II.
The whole is made of hardwood, fourteen zhang long and three and a half zhang wide, and from the hem of the keel, it is as high as four zhang.
It is still a three-layer deck. Sixteen twelve kilograms of Nibuchu bronze cannons were placed on the bottom floor, eight of which were each on each side. After all the cannons were placed, the gun window was still six feet away from the water surface, so it could still be used if the wind and waves were low.
The middle deck is placed with twelve previous thousand-pound short-barrel cannons, six on each side.
Two Nebuchu bronze cannons each at the bow and stern.
There are thirty artillery guns in total, which are smaller than before. The extra space is naturally to load more people and goods.
It is also a four-mast, with multiple cross sails and spinnade arrangements. The sails use special canvas made in India obtained from the Dutch.
With five ships, the series of naming should be carried out. Later, after asking Nikan, these five large ships were named "Baikal Class". Going up further, you can only be an ocean larger than Lake Baikal.
Another armed merchant ship of the Dutch East India Company was parked at the port of Nagasaki, which was about the same size as the Uzha, so the Uzha seemed less prominent.
Surrounded by a group of people, Matsuhira Nobuzu stood at the front of the dock, Yagyu Soju fell a little behind, and other daimyos fell behind.
When Sun Xiulin and the other three slowly walked up to the dock, all the Japanese's eyes lit up.
The three of them are all in their thirties. At this age, they have both the sharpness of young people and the steadyness of middle-aged people. In addition, they all have beards, which makes them appear more and more calm and sophisticated.
Among the three, at Nikan's suggestion, Sun Xiulin was dressed in court uniforms as a third-rank civil servant.
The five-beam golden crown is lined with silver wire mesh, the middle of the crown forehead is decorated with treasure flowers, the feathers on both sides are double phoenixes, and the upper part of the crown ear is also decorated with double phoenixes and a flower-shaped hairpin.
The red silk garments are made of green silk at the edges, and the garments are also red. Seven pieces are pieced together, the first three and the last four. Each of them has three folds, and they are connected like a curtain, and the edges are also made of green silk.
White yarn mid-length, blue rosy on the edge.
Jade Scarf.
A golden leather belt and a jade ribbon are tied to it.
The jade pendant is contained in a red gauze bag.
Green-edged red satin cloud-toe shoes.
Compared with Nikan, Sun Xiulin was a little shorter, but he was taller than the Japanese in front of him. He was taller, dressed up, and fluttered clothes, making these country bumpkins who claimed to have inherited the mantle of the Tang Dynasty.
If Nikan had to wear this outfit, he would definitely feel a little uncomfortable, but Sun Xiulin was willing to accept it. Once upon a time, earning some small money to support his family in business was his greatest wish. Who would have expected that he would have a day to wear Eguan Bo?
Compared with Sun Xiulin, Pan Xuezhong, who is a translator, is dressed as a typical Tang Dynasty scholar.
A black Tang scarf with soft feet on the suffix, a pair of left and right scarves, jade-like.
Green cloud patterned Taoist robe, cross-collar, white collar, and double slanted inside on both sides of the body.
The silk ribbon is folded in half and tied behind the body.
Bordered cloud head shoes.
Compared with the two civil officials, Li Yangeng dressed as a military officer is even more cool.
Golden phoenix winged collar, red tassels on the top, necklines on the bottom, and silver armor pieces.
Wearing a large-sleeved brocade robe, a full set of armor on the outside, a cover on both shoulders, a pair of arms tied with arms, a necklace around the collar, a bra on the chest, a heart protection mirror at the center of the chest, a gold-plated waist around the waist, a silk belt tied with a gold belt on the outside.
The black riding boots are the same as some Japanese samurai, with two horizontal knives one long and one short around their waists.
The three of them were dressed up by Sun Xiulin himself.
After walking onto the dock, the Japanese "nobles" opposite, who were mostly black silk clothes and wearing black hats, could not help but pale in comparison.
Sun Xiulin was even more proud, gently stroked his black beard that was one and a half feet long under his jaw, and walked forward with his head held high.
Pan Xuezhong behind him had neatly built short beards and goatee; Li Yangeng had a mighty beard.
Matsuhira Nobuzuka and others in the distance also looked admirable when they saw it.
At this time, the afterglow of the Tang Dynasty was still shrouded in Japan. In addition to Shintoism, kendo, tea ceremony, and harmony all had a deep relationship with the Tang Dynasty. Like Kerr's typical 17th-century European dress, they still looked like "barbarian dress". In their hearts, they still had yearning for the Tang Dynasty.
Before Sun Xiulin knew it, he thought he was the "Celestial Kingdom". Pan Xuezhong's ancestors followed him had a Japanese disaster. Looking at the people in front of him with bad faces, he suddenly remembered, "This is the old nest of Japanese pirates." Although he had been in contact with local merchants many times, he had dealt with local merchants for the first time. It was impossible to say that he was not nervous.
However, seeing Sun Xiulin's appearance unaware, I secretly admired her, so I quickly adjusted my breath and followed her.
Li Yangeng had never been to Japan, so he naturally had no feelings. He just followed Sun Xiulin with his head held high and his chest held high.
Nikan carefully prepared the "Tang style" (after the Ming Dynasty restored the Han Dynasty, there were many costume masters in the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, but they were still mainly Tang wardrobe) and Matsuhira Nobutsu instantly forgot his noble status in Japan, second only to the Emperor and the General.
He took small steps along the way and stopped ten feet from Sun Xiulin, crossed his hands on his abdomen, and bent down sharply.
"Empress, welcome to the Greater Japan, please come here"
After listening to Pan Xuezhong's translation, Sun Xiulin smiled and made a gesture of invitation, so Matsupi Nobuka led the way in front, and Sun Xiulin and the other two followed behind.
When they walked to the crowd of people, everyone, including Yayoi Soju, consciously dodged a path and let the four people pass.
After sitting in the Nagasaki official hall and tea ceremony, Sun Xiulin couldn't help but feel shocked.
"Everyone, my king has something to say"
"These poor and humble farmers are naturally extremely guilty. If they are not killed, they will not be able to calm the public's anger, but..."
"God has the virtue of living a life. My king said that although the Hanhai Kingdom has a vast territory and prosperity, it is finally in the northern territory. There are still a large number of places with sparse populations. It is better to exile these people to the north of the Hanhai Kingdom and let them work in the bitter and cold land for generations. Isn't it better to kill them with one knife?"
At this time, Japan's criminal citizens, nobles and samurai origins were mostly exiled to the South Scarlet land, the farthest was Huatai Island (Sakhalin Island), and religious believers were mostly exiled to the South Ocean area.
