Akashaemon likes the song Xiang Tianying taught him very much, and will sing a few lines whenever he has time. Although Xiang Tianying's Japanese is very different from his Echigo accent, the two of them can still speak Japanese normally.
comminicate.
Xiang Tianying often said to him: There is a broader world beyond the sea. Japan is only a few percent of the world, and the Ming Dynasty is only a few percent of the world. Amakasouemon sometimes also said to Xiang Tianying
He longed for the unknown world on the other side of the Eastern Sea, but most of the time, he still missed his parents. Before his father died, he said that his soul would ascend to heaven, and his mother's soul was probably also there. In order not to let
They are disappointed, so you have to work hard.
With Amakasoeemon's current level, it is not difficult to get a diploma after graduating from junior high school, but it is a bit difficult to pass the entrance examination for high school. Amakasoeemon is not very interested in continuing to study. He wants to go to a military academy and become a soldier after graduation.
A majestic officer - to be honest, in his mind, apart from being an officer, there is no "serious job" in the world.
So he has been working hard on sports in his spare time. He was also selected as a goalkeeper for the football team this time. At this moment, he is sitting next to the playground, humming this song, thinking about his future.
There are many people on the playground, and everyone from the global team is here. This is a three-day training camp being held by the Kaohsiung National School football team to prepare for the recent Kaohsiung regional football match.
After three years of promotion, football has become very popular in the entire Tainan area. In addition to national schools, there are places where young people gather: such as the local army, navy, and national army; government officials; farms and machine repair shops; ship repair yards... successively
They all organized teams. The bored soldiers and sailors of the Dutch East India Company who were stationed there also liked this sport very much, so they invited people to teach it, and it immediately became popular. Xiang Tianying even gave them a name.
, called the "Dutch Construction Team".
Although the Kaohsiung National School team is the birthplace of the team, its record is not very satisfactory. Firstly, they have limited time to practice football, and secondly, they are generally younger and are obviously no match for them in the fight. Although it is known as "skilled football", it is also
It didn't take much advantage. The twelve teams were basically ranked at the bottom two or three.
Fortunately, in Kaohsiung, football is mainly for entertainment. There are no special benefits to winning the championship. They only give out some souvenirs. Everyone's mentality is relatively relaxed.
"Gan Ze! Get ready to play!" Hu Huayang blew the whistle and greeted him when he saw that he was still sitting.
Amakasuemon stood up, patted the dirt on his body, and walked to the court. Amakasu didn't have many friends. In his free time, he either sat in the corner on the edge of the court and sang softly, or he exercised alone. He was alone. After Hu Huayang became the captain
, will pay attention to him at all times and draw him into the team's overall activities anytime and anywhere.
Hu Huayang is from Jixi, Huizhou, and is a fellow villager with Gao Ju. The reason why Xiang Tianying appointed him as captain is because the Guangzhou city asked Gao Ju to take the lead in organizing the Federation of Industry and Commerce. This was to prevent Shandong and Hokkien people, the largest groups in the school, from forming a gang.
But soon, Xiang Tianying felt that his decision was the right one: Hu Huayang was not only excellent at playing, but also very good at regulating interpersonal relationships within the team. He had only been in office for a week, and all his teammates already regarded him as the leader.
The team members lined up, and Hu Huayang shouted at the top of his voice: "A new teammate has joined today, everyone applauds!" There was sparse applause in the team. The reason is very simple. The new team member is Huang Tao.
Cheng Junhe whispered: "This guy is here too! It will be easier for him!"
The football team can be said to be the most united clique in the school. Everyone has known for a long time that Huang Tao, Lu Yuan and Gan Ze are enemies. Although Cheng Junhe is not from Penglai, his family is from Anhui and he is often criticized in the class.
The Chaoshan classmates ostracized him and had no favorable impression of Huang Tao. Seeing that he wanted to join the team, I felt even less happy.
Huang Tao didn't seem to notice that he was unpopular, and shook hands with everyone in turn according to the rules. Gan Ze's attitude was quite reluctant, and he retracted his hand as soon as the two people's hands touched. Lu Principle shook his hand hard.
The other teammates basically didn't have a good attitude. Lu Yuan secretly teased everyone, thinking that you would look good during training later.
When it was time to get off work, Cheng Xiaoru packed up the account books, said goodbye to the shopkeeper, and left the grocery store where he worked. This grocery store and himself were both moved from the center to the left during Operation Overlord a few years ago. Otherwise,
He will never bring his family to Taiwan.
It's okay if the Australians and the Zheng family can't get along, but why did they bring all the people to Taiwan... This is really hard for him to accept. But he can only admit that he is unlucky - since ancient times, the winner has migrated the population.
It's not uncommon for people to come to their own territory. Australians are no exception.
Fortunately, the shopkeeper arrived in Kaohsiung, and the Australians funded him to reopen the shop, and he continued to work as his assistant in the shop. The business of the grocery store was good, and his life was pretty good, although the whole family got cold and fever one after another when they arrived in Kaohsiung.
People in Australia have medicine, and they recover quickly after taking it. The family can live a peaceful life here.
He walked along the road toward his home. It had been more than three years since he moved to Kaohsiung, and he still couldn't adapt to the climate here. He wiped his sweat as he walked. Unlike the refugees who were taken in during Operation Engine, he had some wealth and had just arrived.
I bought a house in Kaohsiung. The home is less than one mile away from the grocery store, so it is very convenient to travel. My wife must have prepared a meal by now, Cheng Xiaoru thought to herself, and couldn't help but quicken her pace.
When he got home, his wife was still busy in the kitchen. Cheng Xiaoru greeted his wife and went into the bedroom. As soon as he entered the door, he couldn't help but feel cold. The house was turned into a mess. It must have been robbed!
"Asu! Asu!" Cheng Xiaoru called his wife. As soon as he shouted, his wife and six-year-old son ran over. The thief broke in through the window while Mrs. Cheng was cooking. He looked like a bandit.
, I didn’t find a few circulation coupons in the drawer, so I took away a few newer clothes in the closet, and took a few more things, not even the tea cup for drinking water, but hid it in the corner under the bed.
The money was safe and sound. Mrs. Cheng wiped her tears, and Cheng Xiaoru kept comforting her: "It's just fine, the things lost are not worth much." Mrs. Cheng snapped and said: "Let's call the police quickly. Maybe there is something missing."
We can still get it back." Cheng Xiaoru said: "I'll call the police right now...ah!"
Cheng Xiaoru suddenly went crazy and rummaged through the messy house. Mrs. Cheng didn't know what happened to her husband. She was so frightened that she even forgot to cry. She hugged her son and was at a loss. Cheng Xiaoru rummaged for a long time, and finally even the quilt was gone.
After tearing it apart, he still found nothing. He sat down with a groan and weakly whispered: "Don't call the police, and don't tell anyone. This can be a catastrophe that will wipe out the whole family..."
In the early morning two days later, Xiang Tianying was leaning on the bed, holding a book and reading it with gusto. The book had obviously gone through many vicissitudes of life, with many damages and some blood stains in some places. But the previous owner of the book was obviously
This book has been maintained very carefully, and all the missing parts of the writing have been neatly filled in. Although it is very old, there are no folds or curls. The ink on the last few pages is still fresh, and it looks like it was written just a few days ago.
of.
This book was collected by the school janitor who collects books. As soon as Xiang Tianying arrived in Kaohsiung, he issued a notice to collect all kinds of old books and "notes" on the market. This was under the banner of increasing the collection of the library of the National School.
In fact, what he cares about is not old books, but the notes of literati.
Anyone who has studied history knows that the private notes of literati are the main source of unofficial history, often recording many little-known details. The historical significance is considerable.
However, he has gained very little in the past few years. After all, the majority of Kaohsiung's population is refugees and immigrants. This time the school officials found something good for him. When Xiang Tianying got this book, he realized that this
It is a priceless treasure, with four words written in official script on the cover: "The Beginning and End of the Qiong Revolution".
At the end of August in the first year of Chongzhen, the tycoons took an iron boat from the sea to Bopu, Lingao County, Qiongzhou. The iron boats were made in Australia. There were one big and four small ones. The big one was about dozens of feet long.
It is called "Holy Ship", or some people call it "Toyotomi". However, although the big iron ship is huge, it has not made a move since arriving at Bopu. All those traveling on the sea are small iron ships. Small iron ships have no sails or oars, but no matter the direction of the wind
They all walked as fast as flying, and the thief clouds drove them with the power of water and fire. The thief came to Lingao and did not make another iron boat. This skill is regarded as a domestic secret, and the thief who came to China has not learned it. However, the thief has not learned it yet.
Most of the ships controlled by Lingao are driven by the power of water and fire. Thieves use this technique to drive ships and carts, and they are also used in farming and various industries. When used on ships, they can destroy pirates and trade; when used on farmers, they can
Floods and droughts are plentiful, so food is safe; used for work, the armor and soldiers are sharp, and goods are plentiful. This is the foundation for the wealth and strength of honest and wealthy thieves.
The fat thieves immediately built a city at Bairen. In mid-September, Lingao ordered Wu Mingjin to gather in the countryside to fight bravely. They were defeated by the fat thieves with a barrage of spears. At the beginning of November, the fat thieves destroyed the whole family of the Gou family, a squire in Lingao. The Gou family was one of the pirates.
The lottery team attacked Bopu, but they couldn't defeat it.
At the end of the twelfth lunar month, the pirate Liu Xiang invaded Lingao, and Wu Mingjin made his first victory with hundreds of soldiers, suspected to be the result of a robber.
In early February of the second year of Chongzhen, the tycoon summoned hundreds of squires in the county to meet in Bairen. In the name of organizing a regiment, he ordered the people in the county to pay grain and send out strong men to work for them, saying that they were "reasonable burdens."
In November, there was an internal rebellion among the beauties. Rumor had it that the thieves, Ma Qianzhu, and the thieves proposed Dugu's proposal to start a fight for a girl. The thieves, Qu Wende, then held a banquet at night, invited the suitors and more than ten people to come, and threw cups
On the signal, all the warriors came out and shot him with short muskets. The bandits stationed at the east gate sent him to the east gate, and the second officer blew the rain. When he heard the news, he led hundreds of troops to attack Bairen. He was unable to defeat and was shot.
When he died, all his troops were lost, and Wen De's heir replaced him with Mu Min.
