The time on the ship passed very slowly. Fortunately, with the help of member Jiang, Yu Ren and the others were able to solve the problem of food and accommodation on the ship. Since they had nowhere to go, Yu Ren didn’t know anyone on the ship except member Jiang, so he hid on the ship.

In the cabin, I bragd with the two boys Cao An and Cao Wenzhao, and sometimes practiced martial arts.

Cao Wenzhao and Cao An both had much better reach than Yu Ren. Yu Ren learned three moves and two moves under the guidance of these two people. However, as Cao Wenzhao analyzed, Yu Ren's only strength was

Its strength lies in its great strength, but its weakness lies in its poor martial arts skills.

The two of them combined Yu Ren's strengths and weaknesses and believed that if he ever faced someone, the most effective way would be to attack with the most direct and fastest techniques. As for defense, if he was forced to defend, it would not work. Because

Attacking is active, you have the right to choose. But defense is passive, you have no choice. This requires much higher martial arts skills.

Yu Ren was also well aware of his own shortcomings, so during these days on the ship, he only chose the ten most direct and effective offensive moves to learn, and spent a lot of effort to master these ten moves.

In addition, Yu Ren took advantage of this quiet time on the boat to sort out the books in the basket of books that Cao An was carrying. These were left over from his previous life. Yu Ren originally thought that his

Since my predecessor was a scholar, when he went on a study tour, the books in the basket should be some books like "The Four Books and Five Classics. Qiu", and the others were all miscellaneous books. There were also a few books that he was familiar with, such as "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu.

, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", etc. In addition, there is a sword manual. This sword manual has no name, but there is an explanation written on the front page. It was encountered by his famous uncle Yu Dayou in a temple in his early years.

It was given to him by a stranger. Since he practiced the swordsmanship in this book, his swordsmanship has improved greatly, and he has the reputation of being the best swordsman in the world.

From the looks of this book, it should be a transcribed copy.

Yu Ren was not stingy and took out the sword manual and studied it with Cao An and Cao Wenzhao. However, both of them were people who were used to wild ways and were not interested in every move in the sword manual.

Yu Ren couldn't understand it at all. As a result, the book was thrown aside. However, even though he couldn't understand it, Yu Ren still took out the book and kept it in his arms. The reason is very simple.

Simple, because among these books, it is the only one that even money cannot buy.

Most of the time, he still brags. Yu Ren's knowledge and vision naturally made these two young people from four hundred years ago very happy. And some of the details of modern life that he told them were expressed in mythical ways.

Even more so, these two boys worshiped him as a god.

Cao An and Cao Wenzhao got along very well because they had the same surname and the same age. They even slept together at night.

Of course, Yu Ren has also gained a lot these days. Although he failed to find out the origin of the small flag in his hand from Jiang Yuanwai, he did learn a lot about the current situation from Cao An and Cao Wenzhao.

World affairs, including some national affairs, military affairs, local customs, unspoken rules of official circles, etc. It can be said to be almost all-encompassing.

What surprised Yu Ren the most was the current technology of the Ming Dynasty. He learned from Cao Wenzhao that most of the Ming Dynasty's army used firearms in combat.

Although Cao Wenzhao was born in the Northeast, his father was a middle-lower officer in the Ming army. Cao Wenzhao followed his father in and out of the military camp since he was a child. He not only practiced martial arts, but also mastered all kinds of weapons used on the battlefield.

He also knows weapons very clearly.

Cao Wenzhao knew the Jurchens in great detail because the city of Fushun where he lived was surrounded by Jurchens. There were often large numbers of Jurchens trading in the city. From the mouths of these Jurchens, Cao Wenzhao knew

He learned a lot of Jurchen information that even the Jinyi Guards of the Ming Dynasty could not know.

He knew that the leader of the Jurchens was called **Hachi, an old man in his sixties. He also knew that he had four great Beile under his command, namely Daishan, Amin, Mang Gurtai and Huang Taiji.

Whenever Cao Wenzhao talks about these Jurchen things, Yu Ren listens very carefully. Because he knows that the future world will belong to this group of people who are not yet known to the people of the Ming Dynasty and temporarily live in the mountains and forests of the Northeast.

people.

Yu Ren wanted to ask more details about these four beile, especially the four beile Huang Taiji, because he knew that in the near future, this man would become the new commander-in-chief of the Jurchens. However, Cao Wenzhao had no idea about the four beile.

I only heard the names, but I didn't know the details. Of course, Cao Wenzhao didn't understand why Yu Ren was so interested in these people who sounded irrelevant to his life.

"I just listened to a few Jurchens at the market once." Cao Wenzhao said with a slight blush.

"What else do you know about the Jurchens?"

Cao Wenzhao thought for a while and said, "I also know what the eight banners their army is divided into. It is said that there are more than 100,000 people. I have seen the Jurchens who came to Fushun City for trade several times, and they all carried flags."

When Yu Ren heard this, he couldn't help but think of a sentence that the teacher said in his previous history class, "If there are not even ten thousand Jurchens, they will be invincible in the world." He recited this sentence softly in his mouth.

Yu Ren finally understood why the Ming Dynasty suffered such a disastrous defeat in the Battle of Sarhu. Because the Jurchens at this time were already so powerful. Even if their 100,000 people were separated, they would not be able to compete with the Ming Dynasty's Thirteen

Even if tens of thousands of people fought in an open battle, they would not lose. However, the Ming Dynasty still arrogantly believed that it had a military advantage, and actually sent its troops to the Jurchens' base areas, allowing the Jurchens to take advantage of the land and people.

However, at the same time, Yu Ren had another thing that he couldn't figure out. Since the Jurchens were already so powerful at this time, and even the Ming Dynasty's 130,000 tax masters were about to be wiped out by him, why would he do it next?

In the short time, will he be severely defeated by Yuan Chonghuan?

Why did Yuan Chonghuan defeat Hachi? This question made Yu Ren even more puzzled. Could it be said that this was a wrong record of history? Yu Ren knew that this was absolutely impossible.

After thinking for a long time, but still unable to come up with a clue, Yu Ren decided to put down the problem and stop thinking about it. This was his usual way of dealing with problems. If he couldn't figure it out at the moment, he would put it aside temporarily.

Cao Wenzhao was still talking about the various things he saw about the Jurchens in Fushun City. Yu Ren had no intention of listening anymore.

After more than half a month of this, the merchant ship finally arrived at Hangzhou Bay. When it arrived at the pier, the sailors set up the springboard, and some anxious guests were already waiting there with their luggage, large and small.

Yu Ren thought about how much care Yu Ren had given him over the past few days, and felt that he had to go and say hello to him before he got off the ship.

So, Yu Ren handed the luggage to Cao An and Cao Wenzhao, and asked them to wait for him outside after getting off the boat and not to wander around. Then, Yu Ren went to Jiang Yuanwai's cabin to say goodbye to him.

However, when Yu Ren arrived at Yu Renwai's cabin, he realized that Jiang Yuanwai had gone to check the cargo and was not in the cabin. Yu Ren didn't take it seriously, so he said something to Jiang Yuanwai's man who was staying in the cabin and prepared to

Disembark.

Yu Ren walked onto the gangplank, and most of the guests on the boat had disembarked. From a distance, Yu Ren saw Cao An and Cao Wenzhao carrying a few bags and waving to him. Just as Yu Ren was about to rush over, he heard

Someone behind him called him urgently.

"Mr. Yu, Mr. Yu."

Yu Ren turned around and saw Jiang Yuanwai running toward him panting with one of his subordinates. Yu Ren hurried to meet him.

"I'm sorry. I just went to your cabin, but you weren't there." Yu Ren cupped his hands and said to Member Jiang. "Thank you very much for your care these past few days. If one day in the future, Member Jiang meets someone useful to me, Yu Ren,

If there is any problem, please feel free to speak up. As long as I, Yu Ren, can do my best, I will do my best."

After so many days of hard work, the old man was almost moved to tears by Yu Ren's promise. Now that he finally heard it, Yu Ren knew it very well in his heart. But he never said it.

He didn't say it until the last moment when he got off the ship. He didn't have much thought, but it was just because he felt that such words were only suitable to be said during this kind of breakup.

When Jiang Yuanwai heard this, he was overjoyed. He hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Mr. Yu is serious in his words. As the saying goes, a tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by a dog. I believe that Mr. Yu will be a hero among men. This kind of hospitality from a young man is not worth mentioning."

Ah! It’s a pity that I can no longer drink and talk with Mr. Yu.”

As he said that, Jiang Yuanwai took a bundle from the servant behind him and handed it to Yu Ren. "There are five hundred taels of silver in it, which can be regarded as the Cheng Yi that the young man gave to Mr. Yu! In addition, there are also

I have the old man's address in Hangzhou. When Mr. Yu is free, you might as well come to the old man's house for a few days. If you encounter any inconvenience, just speak up."

Yu Ren didn't expect that this member of the Communist Party of China was so generous. He gave away five hundred taels. This money really solved his current urgent need. But he met this member of the Communist Party of China by chance and had a few meals. It was nothing, but

When it comes to accepting so much money from this old man, even though Yu Ren prides himself as the most shameless person in the world, he is too embarrassed to accept it.

"How dare you take this for granted?" As soon as Yu Ren heard that there were five hundred taels inside, he wanted to return the bundle.

Unexpectedly, when Jiang Yuanwai saw him, he became anxious. He grabbed Yu Ren's hands and said, "Is Mr. Yu too stingy for making money from the young man? Or does he think the young man is untouchable?"

When Yu Ren heard the old man say such words, he knew that he was sincerely giving the gift, so he stopped refusing. "Well, thank you very much, Yuanwai."

Only then did Jiang Yuanwai happily lead his servants away. Although he had given others 500 taels as a gift, the old man seemed happier than others giving him 500 taels.

Seeing the old man leaving happily, Yu Ren couldn't help but murmured in his heart: "Is it him second! Or am I second?"
