Early the next morning, the Yang family's motorcade headed for Beji Village in the suburbs. Beji Village is located thirty miles northeast of Nagasaki. It is a small valley with beautiful scenery.
I have to say that the natural scenery of Kyushu Island is really good. After leaving Nagasaki City, the scenery along the way is beautiful.
Because Lin Yueru has already been here once, introducing the master and his wife.
Looking at the scenery outside the window, Yang Fan knew for the first time that Nagasaki was a mountain city, stretching from the seaport to the mountains in the northeast.
There are small plains along the coast of Kyushu Island, but not far from the coastline are mountains.
As the carriage drove higher on the road up the mountain, the Nagasaki Port became clearer and clearer.
When we arrived at Beji Village, we were already halfway up the mountain. Yang Fan got off the car and stood on the roadside, where he could clearly see the harbor in the distance. The location of this place is really great.
Militarily, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack here, and the view is wide. The terrain is suitable for stationing troops. And there is no shortage of water here. This small plain in the middle of the mountain is suitable for growing rice. It is really a rare and good place.
However, considering Taozi's status as the widow of a general of the Wu family, this asset was undoubtedly chosen by her late husband. The military value here is far higher than the economic value.
The village has a stone wall and a village gate. A group of warriors stand guard in front of the gate. There are also some villagers entering and leaving the village gate.
I saw so many people coming all at once. And these people were very tall and strong. Compared with them, they were like skinny monkeys.
These people looked like Mingren at first glance. Whether it was height or temperament, they were not comparable to the Japanese. They looked at Mingren's tall body with envy, and their hearts were filled with admiration for the country.
A large group of warriors with shaved Tsukiyo heads and short linen shirts poured out from the village gate and blocked the road into the village.
These people had two samurai swords, one long and one short, hanging on their waists. They wore straw sandals and held a spear about three and a half meters tall.
Their spears are short mainly because they are too short. They are generally only 1.34 meters.
The servants of the Yang family are generally over 1.85 meters tall. Because of good food, no shortage of fat and meat, and brutal military training, they have grown very strong.
All of them have strong backs and waists, and their waists are ten girths larger. Their arms are thicker than these people's thighs.
"Who are you, who dare to trespass into forbidden areas?" A warrior in armor shouted loudly.
Before Yang Fan's interpreter had time to answer, he was soon kicked aside by several elderly warriors with gray beards who came from behind.
Yang Fan and Lin Yueru looked familiar to these old men. Moreover, they were wearing high imitation Japanese armor made of pure steel stamped armor plates that Yang Fan had given to these fake Japanese pirates in Jeju Island during the last raid on Li Sancai's residence in Zhangjiawan.
Different from the traditional Japanese armor where bamboo is the main material, this armor is entirely made of steel sheets. The torso is even plate armor.
These armors make these old warriors fond of them. These steel armors are much better than iron armors. Not only are they highly protective, they are also light in weight.
Because of the surface carburizing and hardening process, the thickness of more than one millimeter can reach the level of three millimeters of iron armor. In a place like Japan where there is a serious iron shortage, this thing is simply incredible.
The general's armor is not up to this level. The Ming Dynasty's armors (they believe that Yang Fan is the shogun of the Ming Dynasty) are generous. A gift of such fine armor can cost 5,000 sets.
Several gray-haired old warriors walked quickly to Yang Fan. The old man in the lead, Yang Fan, had seen him before and was Taozi's personal bodyguard.
Last year, when Yang Fan was rubbing Tao Zi's ears and temples together, these old men knelt and sat outside the sliding door. They pressed the handles of their knives with serious expressions and sat guard.
Yang Fan didn't understand Japanese customs. I heard from Lin Yueru that there were also these elderly warriors on guard outside the hot spring where Mrs. Taozi bathed.
But they knelt and sat on the outside of the curtain. They turned around and faced the outside to watch.
In the Ming Dynasty, ladies would definitely use female soldiers. Generally speaking, male soldiers would not be used to defend inner houses.
This made Yang Fan feel a little reluctant to let go. After all, the figures of these warriors kneeling as straight as javelins were reflected on the window paper, which made Yang Fan feel strange.
Tao Zi wanted to drive them away so as not to affect Yang Jun's interest.
But Yang Fan stopped him. Different countries have different habits. Yang Fan felt that it was disrespectful to drive them away like this.
Yang Fan always respected his subordinates and domestic slaves personally. Even the father-in-laws in the palace treated them equally and would never look down on them because of their physical disabilities.
This is also the reason why the eunuchs and maids in the palace are willing to deliver information and handle affairs for Yang Fan.
Several old men bowed deeply and neatly, and the old man at the head said respectfully: "I have met Mr. Yang."
Yang Fan smiled and said: "Kobayakawa Ichiro, long time no see, you are still so capable and capable, you have not aged at all."
Kobayakawa Ichiro said with an apologetic smile: "Thanks to the blessing of Mr. Yang and his wife, my salary has increased in the past two years, and I have become more energetic. I can continue to work for my wife for ten years."
"Young man, please notify Madam now and ask her to come out to greet Yang Jun."
Yang Fan looked at both sides of the road. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom. A gust of wind blew and the fallen cherry blossoms were beautiful.
Yang Fan said: "No need to inform, I am going to give Taozi a surprise. Is Mr. Wei in the village?"
"Mr. Wei went to Hirado Castle yesterday and will probably come back the day after tomorrow," Kobayakawa Ichiro said.
"Ah! Daddy is out." Lin Yueru missed her father eagerly. She was originally planning to bring Miss Yang to her daddy, but she was a little disappointed for a moment.
"I will arrange a stay for your family right now. Please come with me and I will take you to see Madam."
Yang Fan asked his wives to take the servants and the carriage team to the residence to settle down. He only took Xu Xiu and four female soldiers to follow Kobayakawa Ichiro to where Taozi was.
Xiao Niangpi waved her little hand and said: "Let's go, let's go and settle down first. Take the gift for Tao Zi and go with the master."
Yang Fan's servants came to a whole battalion, and there was no risk of safety. Although he only brought five female soldiers. But Xu Xiu is a biochemical warrior, and the four female soldiers have also received special training. Moreover, the weapons are advanced, so Yang Fan naturally
Don't worry about safety issues.

Arriving in front of a lake.
In the lake, a two-story pavilion with gold foil on the outside appeared in front of you. This building is beautiful and full of the graceful atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty.
A beautiful woman was sitting sideways on the porch, combing her hair on the polished floor.
Her snow-white little hands were holding a valuable mutton-fat white jade comb. Her long hair, as bright as a mirror, was lying on the ground.
The beauty is one part lazy and one part naturally charming. Under the morning sun, she exudes the charm of a mature woman.
Taozi is at the sexiest and most feminine time in a woman's life. Looking from a distance, it looks like a picture of a beauty grooming herself.
Yang Fan looked a little crazy. He walked lightly across the bluestone bridge without railings, took off his shoes, and quietly came behind Tao Zi.
The other warriors and the entourage brought by Yang Fan all stopped at the lakeside and did not follow him.
This white jade comb was given to her by Yang Fan. The comb is underneath the warm and pure white mutton-fat jade, and the top is hollowed out with exquisite peonies and other flowers. It can be used to comb your hair or be inserted as a headdress.
Fifteen centimeters long suet jade material of uniform quality is hard to find. There are no cracks or black spots after slicing, and defects are rare. The carving was done by Lu Zigang, a famous artist from Yangzhou. The artistry of the carving is extremely high.
Taozi was born into wealth, so she naturally knew what to buy. She knew very well that even the General's Mrs. Ajiang might not have such a thing.
Naturally, it is very precious. This is Taozi's most cherished object. The maids are very careful. If they accidentally break it, the lady will probably get angry.
Taozi looked at her beautiful face reflected in the water and the cherry blossom petals floating on the water, and she couldn't help but feel something in her heart.
Youth is short, and time is fleeting, just like the cherry blossoms floating on the water. How long can the bright and fresh beauty last? It is hard to find it once it is wandering.
For a moment, I was not only stunned.
Suddenly, she saw a handsome man appearing in the reflection on the water, and she thought she was dazzled.
No man can come in this place. She wiped her eyes and took a closer look. Isn't this the Yang Jun she thought about day and night?
