This time I went fishing at sea, and with the guidance of Ah Xi and a group of fishermen, I finally won’t return empty-handed.
Hong Tiaoyuan got a good harvest there. He got off the boat and said with a smile: "Brother, let's go. Let's invite the brothers to drink together tonight. It can be regarded as catching the wind for you."
Back at the military camp, the ten brothers who went fishing also came back. Everyone was surprised when they heard that a new inspection was coming. Only those who wanted to leave this ghost place had never heard that they were coming in.
of.
Ding Yunyi's status as an inspector is considered to be the second "highest official" in Penghu. Ten soldiers came to meet Inspector Ding one by one.
Hong Tiaoyuan really didn't have any airs here. He smiled and asked the brothers to accompany Inspector Ding to talk, while he asked Lao Ji to get wine and food together.
Ding Yunyi is the youngest here. Everyone thought he was the inspector, and they also heard that he was the son of Mr. Ding Yuanzhao. At first, no one dared to say anything, but slowly they found that Inspector Ding was the same as Mr. Hong.
, there was no airs, and then it started to get lively.
The brothers were all curious about how Ding Yunyi came to this deserted island. Ding Yunyi knew that it was useless to argue with these soldiers, so he thought for a while and simply told the truth: "What can I do? A few days ago, I talked to all the brothers
I am still a small soldier, and I occasionally made some military exploits. I was promoted to a patrol inspector, but I met an unkind father. What should I do? In terms of official rank, he is my boss, and in terms of personal relationships, he is my boss.
My dear, if I don’t agree, I’ll go home and wait on you with a big board.”
With a "boom", the brothers laughed together and suddenly felt that this inspector was very friendly.
After laughing, a soldier suddenly sighed: "Inspection, if you can find a way, leave here as soon as possible. The brothers are eagerly thinking of ways to leave. If General Hong hadn't treated us well, the brothers would have been there long ago.
It's over, I'm sorry, I won't wear these clothes and go home to farm."
When they were introduced just now, Ding Yunyi had already remembered the names of all the brothers. He recognized this person as Chen Dong, who was the first to follow Hong Tiaoyuan to Penghu. Seeing that even he was full of complaints, Ding Yunyi began to think that he should take some measures
Somehow, these brothers' hearts will disperse sooner or later.
After thinking about it for a moment, he suddenly said mysteriously: "I think this place has a lot of potential..."
This sentence attracted the attention of the brothers. Just as they were about to ask questions, the smell of fish wafted out, and then they saw Hong Tiaoyuan and Lao Ji walking out carrying a big basin: "Come, come,
Brothers, eat, eat, today's meal is quite rich. Lao Ji, go get the wine."
"Fengfeng is shit." Chen Dong stood up with his brothers and muttered: "Besides fish, it's still fish. I feel like vomiting when I smell fishy smell."
Sure enough, it was exactly what Chen Dong said. In the two huge pots, one was braised fish and the other was fish soup. You have to eat these things every day, and they are really boring to the extreme.
Hong Tiaoyuan asked the brothers to sit down on the floor, took the wine jar brought by Lao Ji, filled the bowl with wine in front of everyone with a smile, and was the first to raise it: "Here, Inspector Ding is willing to come to us
In this place where birds don’t poop, it’s an honor for you and me. This bowl is dedicated to Inspector Ding!”
The brothers raised their bowls in a noisy manner and drank them all in one gulp. Hong Tiaoyuan politely said to Ding Yunyi: "Brother, try it, try it. I don't have other skills, but my cooking skills may not be as good as those of a serious cook."
Fuck me."
Ding Yunyi took a bite and found that the fish was really smooth and delicious. Xiao Yifeng and Bao Juhua ate at the side and praised the food. However, the others were already tired of the food and were too lazy to lift the two big pots of fish.
Interest comes.
Chen Dong was still worried about what Ding Yunyi had just said: "Inspector Ding, tell the brothers why this place has so much potential?"
This sentence aroused everyone's curiosity. Only Hong Tiaoyuan asked in an unreasonable manner: "What's promising?"
"Boss Hong and Inspector Ding said we could benefit from being here."
"Ah——" Hong Tiaoyuan looked at Ding Yunyi blankly, his face full of expectation.
Think about it, if you walk two people here today and run two people tomorrow, if this continues, Hong Tiaoyuan will become a polished commander. Listening to Ding Yunyi saying that he has a solution, how can he not look forward to it?
Ding Yunyi was in trouble. He just said it casually. Who would have thought that the brothers would take it seriously?
But those expectant eyes...
Suddenly an idea came to his mind: "I heard that pirates and foreigners often come here to supply supplies?"
"Yes!" Hong Tiaoyuan nodded: "Although Penghu is a little smaller, there are often ships coming for supplies. Sometimes they are pirates, sometimes they are 'Taishi'."
Ding Yunyi asked: "Taiwan is not far from here, why did they choose here?"
Hong Tiaoyuan explained carefully: "The power of the red barbarians in Taiwan has increased greatly, and the Ganrasi people cannot defeat the red barbarians..."
Ding Yunyi knew that these were the names used by Westerners in the Ming Dynasty.
Taixi refers to the West. "Tai" means far away, and Taixi means the far west. It is the name given to Europe by scholars in the Ming Dynasty. During the Ming Dynasty, scholars' understanding of Europe basically came from European missionaries.
The information brought by people like Matteo Ricci to the scholar-bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty was very confusing, which also led to a very confusing understanding of Europe during the Ming Dynasty. The names included Taixi, Far West, Daxi Kingdom, Daxizhou, and Dafolang.
There are different opinions on how many countries there are in Europe. Although some people even think that Europe is part of Portugal, generally speaking, the scholar-officials of the Ming Dynasty had a considerable understanding of European countries, especially
Some major countries, such as Portugal, the Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom, France, etc., are quite familiar with it. Some people even know which countries are feuding and which countries are united. Compared with the late Jin Dynasty, who had a dark eye on Europe, Ming Dynasty
The DPRK has made considerable progress in this regard.
As for "Hongyi", it refers to the Netherlands, and some people call it "Helan" and "France", which refers to Portugal, and "dry wax silk" actually refers to Spain.
Hong Tiaoyuan continued talking to himself: "Hongyi will never allow the dry silk people to go to the ports they control to supply supplies. They are also very careful about pirates, except for big pirates like Liu Xiang who have colluded with Hongyi for a long time.
In addition, other small groups of pirates are strictly prohibited from approaching the port. This is true in Taiwan, not to mention Fujian. Therefore, those small groups of pirates, Ganrasi people, Folangji people, etc. chose Penghu as a compromise point.
, our Ming and Hongyi forces are very weak here, and we have no time to take care of this."
Ding Yunyi nodded: "Did they burn, kill and plunder after arriving on the island?"
Hong Tiaoyuan shook his head: "That's not the case."
