Chapter 861: The Slave Trade
Xu Hao did not make any statement about what happened in Liaodong, and left it to the cabinet to deal with it, because he knew that his sister-in-law would never be able to bear this breath, and it would be the anger of the military and people of Liaodong who would greet the Japanese state.
Recently, the most sensational thing in Jinling is a play, few people know that it was arranged by the crown prince Zhu Zhanji, Xu Hao was curious, so he took a car with Ning Xue to watch it.
came to a play garden, a few small flowers and grasses, but also very elegant. I heard the noise of gongs and drums inside from a distance, and the voices of people were noisy.
went to the private room on the second floor, Mu Ningxue felt very novel, and was also pleasantly surprised that her husband took her out for a walk, and she was very happy. It's just that I'm not used to the men in front of me, there are all kinds of things, and there is no shape for laughing and scolding.
Before she could speak, Yingchun had already sent the waiter away, wiped the chair again, put on the brocade, and replaced it with the tea and snacks she had brought.
Xu Ye and Xiao Yezi looked at this and that curiously, very excited. Xu Hao first glanced at the play list, and then looked at the singing voice in the stands, which seemed to be the second play. There was a Hua Dan who pretended to be a fan sister, called Hanako in ragged clothes, holding a box of teeth, making the spectators below empathize and cheer at the prostitute.
This story tells the story of a fan sister named Wang Xianju, who is a very famous beautiful prostitute in Jinling, met an infatuated son, the two fell in love at first sight as soon as they met, and they swore that they were in love, one was willing to marry, one was willing to marry, and one was willing to marry.
Childe's father found out and sent someone to urge him to go home. Before leaving, Wang Xianju asked her son for a note as a lovesick souvenir after parting. Who knew that the son sent her this, don't want it, send her that, don't want it, make a fuss and bluntly ask for a tooth, hoping that it is a sign of reunion in the future.
This son is a man who is as affectionate as a mountain, and he pried a tooth off immediately. Later, Childe returned home. begged to show that he would not marry Wang Xianju, otherwise he would rather be lonely in this life, and the second elder was forced to agree, and prepared a number of things for marrying his daughter-in-law, ready to rescue Wang Xianju from the fire pit.
In fact, the second elder naturally didn't want his son to marry a prostitute as his wife, so he secretly found some relatives to discuss, and the relatives said to the son, since you are so sure that the other party is a good woman, it is better to pretend to be called Hanako, and assume that there is a fire in the house. Makes her family ruined and destitute, see what she will do?
The son, who was convinced of love, agreed without saying a word, but when Wang Xianju saw his bad face, he immediately turned his face and scolded his subordinates, and wanted to get the son out.
The child, who was trembling with anger, said: "Since you don't recognize me, it's okay! But you have to give me back the tooth I have left, and you have to give it back to me. ”
Wang Xianju sneered. asked Yahuan to hold a large box of teeth and said, "Which one is yours?" Pick it up for yourself. ”
Childe suddenly looked stupid, and then he realized that he didn't know that he was the first fool to be deceived, and he couldn't help crying and left.
Relatives learned about it. It is said that since the discord plan has been successful, it is better to simply do nothing, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and save the prostitute from pestering again. So he carried all the dowry clothes he had purchased to the door of Wang Xianju's green building. Let the son change into fresh clothes and angry horses, so he burned a large pot of charcoal on the street, and burned the clothes and gifts in the same way.
Very interesting face-slapping plot. It also satisfies people's disdain for prostitutes, to be honest, there are too many such examples in Jinling, which can very resonate with those men who like the new and hate the old.
Xu Hao guessed Zhu Zhanji's intentions, and seemed to be planning to rectify the rhythm of the atmosphere and create some public opinion first.
Xu Ye was infected, and said indignantly: "Such a woman, it's a pity that I can't manage it, if I can manage it, I have to be severely punished, which is not enough to vent my anger." ”
The play was indeed well acted, and it was annoying to play a ruthless and unrighteous prostitute vividly.
Ye Qin said with a smile: "If you want to fight unevenly, don't be annoyed by the girl who pretends to be Wang Xianju, otherwise wouldn't you be crying while watching the play and worrying about the ancients?" ”
When she got home, Xu Hao changed her clothes and held Mu Lanxiang to teach her to recite the little ninety-nine multiplication and division.
Mu Ningxue took a shower and went straight to Jieshoutang, Xiao Yushi was also in the house, Xiao Shi leaned on his back, and asked casually, "When is the beginning of autumn today?" ”
Xiao Yushi asked the girl to bring the imperial calendar, and looked at the chiming bell, seeing that the needle had already pointed to four quarters and fourteen minutes at noon, and said, "It's about to be handed over." Saying that, the bell rang, and said with a smile: "It's the end of the handover, let's all go out to see the autumn." ”
"When a leaf falls on the sycamore, the world is autumn." Mu Ningxue looked out the window, "Just pay attention to the sycamore." ”
Xiao Shi said: "In this way, you go outside and take a look, and when the leaves fall, send them to me to take a look." ”
The maids and ladies all ran out immediately, and Yingchun said: "I got two sentences, which is just right for this scene." The little maid picked up the sycamore leaves, and also reported the new autumn from the boudoir. ”
Xiao Yushi praised: "It's really good, it's really fresh and handsome." You're getting more and more talented now. ”
As he was talking, Liu Shi came in from outside, and said happily: "Second sister-in-law, you teach those fools to wait for the sycamore to fall outside, and know how sooner or later it will fall?" ”
Xiao Shi smiled: "In fact, they are just let them go out for a walk, and they are all stuffy in the house, and everyone is rusty." ”
There was a little girl outside Green Cloud, who came in to serve his wife in the spring, and it was less than half a year, and when she saw that the big girls were waiting outside for the sycamore to fall leaves, she went around to the back of the house alone to see, raised her head and waited for a while, and did not want the breeze to blow, but floated down a leaf, and hurriedly walked over to pick it up and hide it.
He ran into the house with a smile and sent it up. Liu said: "Okay! They are all waiting there, where did you pick it up, didn't you pick it up by hand? ”
Luyun said, "I saw it in the back of the house, so I hurriedly brought it. ”
Xiao Shi smiled: "This kid is amazing, just a leaf, it seems to be a rare coincidence." ”
Mu Ningxue said: "Ming'er is a coincidence, she has a coincidence." ”
Throughout the night, Xu Hao saw that the girls were busy, and set up an offering table in the courtyard, full of melons and fruits and other offerings, burning incense and worshipping, and then everyone used a small box to put the little spider caught in it, and put it on the table, waiting to open it tomorrow morning.
According to the custom of the begging festival, if a small web is formed in the box, it is a coincidence, and the worst is not a web, which means that it is not a coincidence to do anything this year, in short, the spider at home is a seedling.
Thousands of miles away on the sea, Yang Ji took people down the bilge, this ship is very large, with a total of four floors up and down, and each floor is full of people.
Yang Ji hated the smell inside, covered his nose and said as he walked: "The Japanese people dare to go to Liaodong to spread the wilderness, His Royal Highness said that these Japanese slaves are all sent to Yongle Zhou Jinshan to pan for golden sands, if they don't die, they will be fated." ”
He spoke the local dialect of Jinling, Jiangnan, and was not afraid to be understood by the Japanese people who knew the official language. Suddenly, he stopped and asked the man and woman who were close together, "What's the matter?" ”
The poor Kuroda got up and explained a few words with a smile and a grunt, but fortunately, Yang Ji had lived in the country for a few years, and he could understand it, so he said angrily: "Strange appearance, since you are crowded together, you can be regarded as your husband and wife." ”
Kuroda looked back at his wife, and saw that her cheeks were red, and her tears were like a tearful person, for fear that this Ming nobleman would take a fancy to his wife, so he was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak anymore, so he quickly shrank his head and retreated, and the other was not paying attention, the back of his head hit the beam, and fell to the ground.
Before he could get up, a steward flew by with a whip and kicked Kuroda in the abdomen, curling up in pain.
There was a ronin who spoke in half-baked Chinese and shouted, "Baga, what are you doing bullying people for?" We are not your slaves. ”
The steward smiled: "None of you owe money?" If you owe money, it is a deed of sale, you kid give Lao Tzu some peace, otherwise you will throw it into the sea to feed Wang Ba. ”
"Alright, alright." Yang Ji waved his hand and glanced at his wife meaningfully, "These are all skilled, be kind to them, I hope I can live a few more lives this time, otherwise I will lose money again." ”
When he left, someone came down to deliver dishes and chopsticks, and distributed them according to the head, bringing a few buckets of rice porridge, dozens of plates of bean curd and pickles. In an instant, the Japanese people rushed up like crazy to scramble, the spoons and bowls were chaotic, and the Kuroda couple looked at the empty rice bucket with their eyes.
The ship's destination was San Francisco, where the enraged Zhu Qiaoqiao forced the shogunate to hand over 30,000 slaves or bombard Kyoto.
During the Warring States period, the Shogunate lured the destitute people onto the ships and sketched a better tomorrow, which was exactly the same in nature as the Chinese laborers of later generations.
Yang Ji has long been involved in the slave trade, and has made huge profits for several years, and this time he plans to see with his own eyes what Yongle Zhou looks like, so he followed the ship.
During the voyage, he experienced several incidents of bullying men and women, and because he could not eat enough, the Japanese people rioted collectively, and more than a dozen people died in the conflict, including two women, and gradually they did not even give rice porridge, and sincerely starved the Japanese to death, saving trouble.
The wife naturally became the plaything of Yang Ji and others, and the women of the Japanese country couldn't run away if they were a little beautiful, but fortunately, the Japanese people didn't take chastity too seriously, and they could serve the nobles of the Ming Dynasty, and it was also a change for the Japanese people, right?
After walking at sea for dozens of days and arriving at Jinshan Port, Yang Ji ordered to investigate the accurate number of people, and more than 100 people died in the bilge due to injuries and illnesses, and there were 1,323 people left, and there were cries everywhere.
In order to appease the Japanese people, Yang Ji arranged to bury the clothed mound, the body had already been thrown into the sea, and invited a doctor to treat the patient, and then urged the Japanese people to go ashore, one by one with hinges, and the disobedient ones were sent back to the Japanese country in the name of disobedience, but in fact they were slaughtered with a knife.
Jinshan City had begun to take shape, and the Han and Indians were temporarily at peace, and Yang Ji rode a horse and escorted the slaves to the mines in the north of the city.
Three years later, nearly 100,000 Japanese people crossed the sea to reclaim the Americas, and less than 300 survived. (To be continued......)
