Chapter 281 Return to Japan (Twenty-one) Looking for a future for the son
"What's the plan?" Gao pragmatically asked.
"Remove the Busan blockade." Kafeiji replied.
Gao Pingshi was silent for a moment, paused, and asked: "What then?"
"The master is wise." Kafei Ji showed a bright smile: "Since the Busan blockade has been removed, it is natural to transfer them to Dosan."
"If that's the case, I don't expect you to offer any advice." Gao Pragmatic glanced sideways at her with a half-smile, waved his hand and said, "Finish your words."
"My master is always so bright and wise, and you can't show off even if you want to." Kafi Princess pouted, but she still said obediently: "I just want to let the Ping-Japan fleet sail northeast to leave Busan and head to Dosan.
At the same time, people were sent to closely monitor the Pusan Port. If the Japanese navy was discovered to be leaving the Pusan Port, the Sea Trade Alliance fleet was sent to meet the enemy.
Sir, the Sea Trade Alliance fleet cannot be used for long-term blockade work, but it is always possible to fight a decisive battle at sea, right? This is also to end the war as soon as possible, otherwise such a large force will always be nailed to the south, isn't that right?
Huge loss?”
Gao Pragmatic nodded and said: "This is a wonderful strategy, let's do it like this."
Seeing that Gao Feiji answered pragmatically without thinking at all, Kafei became a little suspicious and said hesitantly: "Master, don't you plan to think about it carefully?"
"How do you know I didn't think carefully?" Gao Pingshi couldn't help laughing: "If I say that heroes think alike..."
"I don't dare to say that like a master." Jia Feiji chuckled and said, "It's a good thing I'm not Liu Bei, otherwise I would have scared off Kuaizi by now."
Gao Pingshi smiled and said: "Liu Bei is Liu Bei... But when you say this, it reminds me of your sister Liu. If I tell her like this, she will not be humble."
Jia Fei Ji blinked and said: "Sister Liu is a heroine. She knows astronomy and geography, so she is naturally different from my concubine."
Gao Pingshi smiled and did not answer. Instead, he changed the topic back to the war and said, "There are two obstacles to your strategy of luring the snake out of its hole. Are you prepared?"
Ji Feiji immediately became serious and said: "The two difficulties mentioned by the master, let me guess first: The first point is how our army can effectively monitor the situation in Busan after the Pusan blockade is withdrawn, and also ensure the news
It can be quickly transmitted to the Golden Sea; the second point is how the alliance fleet can ensure that it can catch up with or intercept the Japanese navy sailing from Pusan Port."
Gao Pragmatic smiled slightly: "That's right. Since you can tell these two points, you must have considered it, so let's talk about it."
"The first point is easy to handle. There are quite a few suitable candidates among my entourage. They can pretend to be Japanese soldiers and sneak into Busan. They also carry carrier pigeons and other items to facilitate communication with Jinhae."
Gao Pragmatic was slightly surprised: "You brought carrier pigeons here? Can flying pigeons carry messages from Japan to North Korea or the Ming Dynasty now?"
"Yes, sir, this test was carried out a few years ago, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs had no experience at the time. However, later because a prostitute who was a Fujian fisherman was selected into the Ministry of Internal Affairs, this test quickly made progress.
Nowadays, it is no problem for homing pigeons to travel between Japan and the Ming Dynasty. Although it has not been tested in North Korea, it is planned to be done this time, so I also brought more than forty carefully selected homing pigeons this time.
There will be no problem at all if we use it temporarily to send messages between Busan and Gimhae."
Gao pragmatically said with some surprise: "I didn't know that homing pigeons could cross the sea. What exactly was the matter about the fishermen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs that you mentioned? Why was the experiment on homing pigeons so helpful?"
Ji Feiji said: "To say that he is a Fujian fisherman is actually just to claim to the outside world that this man was originally a servant of a Fujian maritime merchant, and he was responsible for carrying pigeons on the ship for that merchant for generations.
However, his father was a bad gambler and owed a large sum of gambling money. In desperation, he stole several treasures from the master and sold them, which finally caused a big disaster. The master threatened to cut his body into thousands of pieces, taking him with him.
The son has no choice but to flee in fear of crime..."
At this point, Gao Pragmatic basically understood what was going on. The Fujian maritime merchant mentioned by Ji Feiji was a pirate for generations, but he must have an official identity, and he was at least a local powerful man. The father of this servant had stolen pirate goods.
If the boss's family heirlooms are sold off, will there still be something good to eat? The so-called "dismembered body" is probably not just an angry remark.
As for how this person finally "jumped" to the Gao family, Gao Pragmatic is not interested in knowing such details, because the review of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is extremely strict, and Gao Mo is not the only person in charge, but first went through a round of interviews hosted by different persons in charge.
After a round of screening, and finally by the "Three Tribunals" including Gao Mo, he can join the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Therefore, since he can join the Ministry of Internal Affairs, his identity and past must have been completely separated.
As for why the pirate leader kept pigeons on the ship, Gao Pragmatic later asked clearly. In fact, it is very simple to put it bluntly: it is a tradition for shipowners who sail far at sea to keep pigeons.
The initial mission of these pigeons is not to "convey messages", but to a certain extent, to "report mourning" - if an accident occurs at sea and the ship is about to sink, the boatman will release these pigeons. Once the pigeons fly home
, which means that the people on the ship cannot come back.
As for whether homing pigeons can travel back and forth between Ming Dynasty and Japan, there is actually no problem at all. For example: Workers Daily reported on June 28, 2013, that in May of that year, a Japanese racing pigeon participated in the competition and flew over because it got lost.
After 7,000 kilometers, we actually arrived in Vancouver, Canada.
It is much further from Japan to Vancouver than to the Ming Dynasty. For example, the straight-line distance from Misaki Castle to the Ming Dynasty capital is about 2,100 kilometers, which is much shorter than flying to Vancouver. And if you fly from Misaki Castle to the North Korea where Gao Pragmatic Economics Headquarters is now,
Namgyumhae, near Busan, is only 1,000 kilometers away.
According to the flying speed of a homing pigeon, it can fly about 100 kilometers in one hour, which is enough for half a day. Of course, in addition to the frequency of flapping wings, the speed of a pigeon is also more important, which is the time of circling and judgment.
There is a way back.
After taking off, pigeons circle upwards to find the direction to return. You will know the situation after watching pigeons on TV. For example, when flying homing pigeons on a ship, some pigeons circle upwards and then immediately rush out (perhaps in the wrong direction).
Some pigeons were hovering near the boat for half an hour and still couldn't decide the direction, so they were half an hour behind the starting point.
As we all know, the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Later foreign reports said that pigeons often do not fly back in a straight line, but in a curved route. Only a very small number of them fly in a straight line between two points.
This means that pigeons with good direction judgment can not only find the direction of return, but also find the most "straight" route to the pigeon loft. On the return route, even if there is a headwind or crosswind
Even if there is no interference, they can still fly by the shortest route.
Gao pragmatically estimated that this should be guided by magnetic lines of force. In other words, maybe every pigeon can judge the direction by the tilt angle of the sun, memory of environmental characteristics, and smell, but judging by magnetic lines of force is not every pigeon's strength.
.
Some pigeons have strong induction, and some pigeons have weak induction. Some people say that good pigeons do not distinguish between seasons and climates. Perhaps this phenomenon can be clearly explained by talking about magnetic lines. The reason why Jinghua’s pigeons always have to prepare a lot is because they are choosing pigeons.
Many pigeons will be eliminated in this link - of course, this elimination is divided into levels according to the distance they have to fly. For example, some pigeons are not good at flying long distances and will waste a lot of time finding the way, but flying short distances or some pigeons are not so timely.
A strong route will be just fine and usable, but it will be useless if it is not eliminated.
All in all, with the manpower provided by Kafi, we can send liaison officers carrying carrier pigeons to the Japanese army in Busan. Since Kafi said that these people are suitable for sneaking into Busan, it naturally means that they are Japanese and will not be easily exposed.
But there is still a problem here. Gao pragmatically said: "It may not be difficult to sneak into Busan, but since they are carrying homing pigeons, it is not possible if their status is too low. Otherwise, how can they hide?"
"Aren't the Shimadzu family members still in Busan?" Kaiji smiled and said: "Once these samurai and ninjas under my command go to Busan, they will naturally be affiliated with Shimazu Yoshihiro's Fifth Army.
From the Shimadzu family's standpoint, it shouldn't be a problem to arrange a few middle- and lower-level officers, right?"
Gao Pragmatic was very pleased and nodded: "Since you have considered it so carefully, you will be responsible for this matter."
"Yes, Master, I will definitely try my best."
"What about the second obstacle?" Gao Pragmatic asked again.
"The second point is actually easier to handle." Kaiji smiled and said: "Where can the Japanese naval forces go to sea from Busan? I thought there were only two options: either go to support Daoshan, or escape back to Japan.
There is no need to worry about supporting Daoshan. It is enough to tell the Japanese fleet to pay attention to the possibility of Japanese naval forces following and attacking. As for escaping back to Japan, the distance is not far or close. As long as the alliance fleet gets the news in time enough, it can pursue them.
It is not difficult to defeat them - after all, the main force of the Japanese naval force is not very fast after being equipped with iron armor."
Gao pragmatic thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with the plan, so he immediately made the decision and arranged for people to issue his military orders to all parties.
After talking about these official matters, Gao Pingshi was hesitant to speak. Ji Feiji knew what the master was going to say at a glance, so she took the initiative to say: "Do you want to talk about acting?"
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
"Well, this matter..." Gao Pragmatic seemed a little bit embarrassed to say it.
Unexpectedly, Ji Feiji said: "Actually, I have no objection to this matter."
"Ah, really?" Gao Pingshi was obviously surprised. He looked at Kafei Ji carefully before continuing to ask: "Why is this?"
"Such things are too common in Japan. As long as the Tokugawa family really appoints Yan'er as the family governor, from my point of view, it is not a bad thing for Yan'er." Kaiji's answer was unusually calm, or calm.
At this moment, Gao Pragmatic suddenly felt blessed and understood what Kafiji meant.
Gao Yan is not the legitimate son, nor is he even the eldest son. There is an eldest son in the sixth room of the Gao family, so according to the rules and traditions of the Ming Dynasty, all his future "legacy" of Gao Pragmatic belongs to Gao Yuan alone, and there is no Gao Yuan at all.
Acting part.
This also means that if Gao Yuan treats his concubine well in the future, he may be able to arrange a good job for him, but that will be it at most, and it is basically impossible to give him a share of the inheritance.
However, what if Gao Yan becomes the adopted son of Tokugawa Ieyasu and is appointed as the family governor? Then it must be done according to Japanese tradition. In other words, the main foundation of the Tokugawa family will belong to Gao Yan.
According to what Kaiji knows now, it is very likely that his master will conquer Japan after the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. However, due to the characteristics of Japan, he will most likely support Tokugawa Ieyasu to become the general who conquers the barbarians. In other words,
Gao Yan will become the shogun of Japan in the future.
Even according to the worst possible judgment, Gao Yan's shogun is essentially the spokesperson of the Gao family, or even simply a puppet general, but so what? At least he has the blood of the Gao family, according to the tradition of the Ming Dynasty.
, Japan will at least be a trustworthy "place of clan" by then, and Gao Yan's status in Gao Yuan's heart will be much stronger than that of an ordinary concubine.
The worst result of this is that Japan will eventually be directly ruled by the Gao family, but because of Gao Yan's identity and lineage, Gao Yuan has to arrange a future for him that is better than other concubines, right? Therefore, Ji Fei Ji thinks that Gao Yan
Being the adopted son of Tokugawa Ieyasu actually avoided a lot of troubles between legitimate concubines and gained him the greatest benefit in terms of his status.
However, Gao Jingshi wanted to understand, but he knew that Ji Feiji's idea was actually something he didn't understand well enough - of course, no one knew Gao Jingshi's thoughts when it came to the arrangement of his children, not even Liu Xin.
How does Gao pragmatism think?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Gao Pragmatic thought secretly: Since Kafei has misunderstood, then let it be misunderstood, it is not a bad thing.
"I understand what you mean." Gao Pragmatic nodded and said, "It's good that you take the overall situation into consideration. As for Yan'er... he will have good arrangements for his future, so you don't have to worry."
"Yes, it will be whatever the master says. I am not worried at all."
Well, this sentence is very "Yamato Nadeshiko", but Gao Pingshi was very satisfied and nodded: "You have also read the conditions I proposed to Tokugawa Ieyasu. Is there anything you need to add?"
"No more." Kaiji shook her head and said, but after finishing her words, she hesitated for a moment and then asked: "If Lord Ieyasu becomes a shogun in the future, how many times a year will I be able to see you?"
"I'll see you if you want." Gao Pingshi narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "It is expected that Tokugawa Ieyasu is so smart that he would not interfere with such a matter. He has always been a person who understands priorities."
Ji Feiji was completely relieved, knelt down and said, "For the sake of Yan'er's future, it doesn't matter if I don't see him a few times now. Master, I'll leave everything to you regarding Yan'er."
Gao Jingshi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He stretched out his hand to support her and said: "He is also my son. You said please very inappropriately."
"Yes, yes, I realize my mistake." Ji Feiji took a deep breath, straightened up and sat up again.
Just as Gao pragmatically was about to speak, the outside servant reported that Li Rumei had sent a private letter, and the messenger explained that it could only be opened by the cabinet minister. Gao pragmatically had to suspend the conversation and ordered: "Send it in."
