白名鹤到基隆港,不是他的意思,而是于谦.
于谦认为,大战之前巡视卫所这本就是统帅鼓舞士气的一种手段,不要相信一纸命令就能让军士们疯狂的为你去拼命,大战之前必小赏,大战之后必重赏,这不仅仅是大明,也是历来激励军队的一种手段.
Keelung, Shi Heng, and Beiwei, Fuzhou.
每个参与备战的军士都至少有相当于五两银子的货物赏赐,然后是兵部尚书于谦与白名鹤一起巡视军营,点将阅兵.
那怕没有说半句可能要打仗之类的话,这凭空的赏赐士兵们已经心中大概有数了.
There must be something big to do.
各卫开始整修船只,整理军械,加紧操练.
足足让琉球王等了十三天,白名鹤总共在海上走了十七天这才到了那霸港.
看到这华丽高贵的拜访队伍,琉球王都不知道应该如何去迎接了.而白名鹤却没有在那霸港停,接上琉球王船往北走,一直到了德之岛才停下,这个岛连一个可以停靠大船的码头都没有,整个岛上全部的人口加起来,不超过一百人.
这里有种田,但更多的却是种甘蔗,有许多野生的热带水果.
琉球王派了自己的卫士两百人,先让这岛上的原住民离开,往南到琉球大岛上去,然后清除了一片区域的毒蛇,大明的士兵搭起了账蓬.有些女兵与宫女则单独清理一片有着漂亮沙滩的地方.再由男兵拉起围栏.
白名鹤就坐在沙滩上,下半身穿了一条自己特意准备的花花绿绿的大裤衩,身上套了一件真丝的短袖.
“这才是沙滩上的风情.烤肉,喝酒,游泳,潜水.”
“尊贵的大明贵人……”琉球王一开口,白名鹤就打断了他:“别来这套客气话,换个称呼就好,来这里为了放松心情就是来玩的.我称呼你一句老尚,叫你一声尚叔从年龄上也不为过,我来一是渡假二是来求你帮我一个大忙的.”
“这个,白……”琉球王也不知道应该如何称呼了.
于谦也把官服给脱了.但没有象白名鹤这样穿得那样失礼,倒是换上了一身白丝绸的长衫.听到两人的对话后于谦说道:“琉球王尚巴山,在得到册封之后曾经三请归化,也派了族中优秀的弟子赴大明学习.说起来也算我们大明人.”于谦说完后,转过来对尚巴山说道:“你就称呼他为名鹤就挺好.这次他有事要求你,你可要让他好好的回报你.他的丝绸的可以铺满你整个琉球国!”
The King of Ryukyu asked to be naturalized, this is recorded in history.
归化一词,最初缘自汉代.《汉书?匈奴传下》有云:“而匈奴内乱,五单于争立,日逐呼韩邪携国归化,扶伏称臣.”
所以归化一词的意思就是:归服而受其教化”之意.当然用现代的话可以理解为,主动取得其他国家的国籍的行为,那就是琉球王希望成为大明的子民.而不是一个蛮夷的岛王,一个小岛的王在他心中甚至比不上大明一个小小的县令.
After hearing Yu Qian helping to talk about peace, Shangbashan also knew what Bai Minghe was. People who could marry two princesses in the Ming Dynasty, and who held heavy troops and controlled countless wealth were definitely not small people.
Shangbashan said, "Minghe, you really know how to swim. I heard that you are from the northern part of the Ming Dynasty."
"Compare, whoever loses will be responsible for making a fire!" Bai Minghe asked on his own initiative.
Shangbashan just thought it was a joke or a fun thing. He agreed without thinking too much.
Hu Yi, Gao Gu, Xu Chengzong and other people with high identities also changed their clothes and came to the beach. When they heard this game, they bet on the bets. No one believed that Baiminghe could swim, because when he was in Xuanwu Lake, Baiminghe was always afraid that he would fall into the water and did not stand by the boat at all.
There are no swimsuits in this era, at least there are all men here, so they naturally come naked.
The target is a reef on the sea, about a hundred steps away. Comparing the speed! Shangbashan was also worried about danger at the sea, so he asked his own people to go into the water and ten more people on the boat. On the Ming Dynasty, there were also four people guarding the boat in a boat.
The white-famous crane moved his body a few times and did some warm-up exercises.
Swimming is not only a physical job, but also a technical job. If you swim a few miles away, you will lose, but you still have confidence in swimming in a short distance. Originally, Shangbashan planned to let the white-known crane take a look, but when you saw the white-known crane swimming at a super fast speed, you didn't give it all.
If the distance is twenty steps longer, the white-famous crane will lose.
At this distance, the Baiming He was only half a seat faster than Shangbashan, who was already in his forties.
Shangbashan was the second generation king of Ryukyu and the son of the first king. Their original name was Bazhi and Bashan. Later, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty granted them the thirty-six surnames in Fujian, and then changed his surname to Shang. Therefore, the characters in the middle are the same, not because they have the same generation, but just their original names.
When Shangbashan was young, he followed the first generation of Ryukyu kings to fight in the north and the north, and his health was also excellent.
He lost in the swimming posture of the white crane.
"Minghe is very capable in the water, but she is a little bit bad." After a game, Shangbashan was no longer so nervous about Bai Minghe's identity.
Bai Minghe laughed: "This freestyle teaches you that if you can go half of my distance, I just have a good skill. But your physical strength is definitely incomparable to you. Drink first today and talk about business tomorrow."
The cold beer used by Baiminghe uses raw nitrate ice making method and is equipped with a double-layer steel cylinder. The innermost layer of Baiminghe is filled with light steel bottles. When it is hot, this thing is paired with barbecue, which is definitely a perfect match on the beach.
At least, Bai Minghe didn’t have time to worry about how Sun Yuanjun and Huaiyu enjoyed the beach. There were some here, and naturally they prepared a copy there. Whether they dared to go into the water was their business.
Until the sky got darker and a fire was set up.
"I heard that your people have sent food to the Japanese? You are not happy about this matter between the two countries. The Japanese asked you how much you want?"
"It requires a lot of food, one thousand stones of grain, one hundred stones of black sugar." Shangbashan felt unhappy when he poured a sip of beer. In terms of the combat power on land, he was not as good as the Japanese. In terms of his ships on sea, his ships on sea were the differences between small wooden boards and warships, and there was no possibility of resistance at all.
"I want to deal with the Japanese, but I need you to do me a big favor. Are there any people here who are not afraid of death and are very reliable? I need him to do something so that he can try his best to satisfy him no matter what he wants."
Shangbashan did not recommend anyone else, he was his own son and wanted nothing.
"According to the information, the Japanese know that I built a wharf on Shiheng Island. You just need to tell the Japanese again that I occupied your palace, snatched your woman, and then built a wharf. Now, I am going to build a wharf in Amami again, and I am currently inspecting here."
Shangbashan does not have as fast thinking as Bai Minghe. When he heard Bai Minghe say this, he first replied: "You don't have to grab these, I'll give them to you directly."
"That's not what you mean, listen to me..."
The white-famous crane spent half an hour, but still made Shangbashan not understand. He just said that he wanted something and spoke.
Bai Minghe was helpless: "Sir Yu!"
Yu Qian could no longer stop smiling. Not only was he laughing, but he was sitting next to him on the beach. Xiao Shang, who had been asking for learning in the Ming Dynasty, kept his head down and laughing secretly.
This time Yu Qian explained to Xiao Shang, and Xiao Shang explained to Lao Shang again.
Finally, Shangbashan reacted: "Yes, according to the Ming Dynasty, this is the robber, my palace, my dock, my women must not be robbed, so you have to pretend to be a bad person. Let my Japanese think I hate you, and then you let the Japanese enter our fishing net!"
"Yes, that's what it means." Bai Minghe breathed a sigh of relief.
Pour wine to Mount Shangba, Bai Minghe continued to preach: "Another news was passed to the Japanese, and I said that my real purpose in occupying Amami Island was because I brought a large number of muskets and a hundred thousand stone of fine steel and a certain Daming of the Japanese prepared for a trade, and then told him about my troops distribution."
"I don't understand!" Shangbashan shook his head. He didn't quite understand the purpose of saying this.
"Okay, what do you like?" Bai Minghe changed his question.
"I like many things in the Ming Dynasty."
"So, I have many treasures you like and weapons that will provide you with enemies. You hate me more. Will you send someone to attack me while I am arrogant and don't bring many guards?"
Shangbashan nodded vigorously: "Yes, you will definitely attack. I understand. You want them to attack you, but aren't you afraid that they will send many people?"
"The more they come, the better. I will kill as much as they come."
Shangbashan did not doubt the combat effectiveness of Bai Minghe. After thinking about it, he said to Bai Minghe: "I want to go to the Japanese island in person. I will put my hatred for the Japanese in my mind to tell you. I will definitely ask them to send many soldiers to attack you, because there will be many treasures to attack you and kill enemies!"
"No, no, you're too risky." Bai Minghe quickly persuaded.
Shangbashan untied the golden ring the size of a palm on his head and put it on his son's head: "He, Shangbaming is the third generation of Ryukyu King, you must ask long live to enthrone him. I will lure the Japanese into our fishing nets and kill them. Our Ryukyu is unwilling to send tributes to the Japanese!"
