Chapter 271
Cheng Qiyun saw Yang Ling's cheeky face and couldn't help blinking, laughing and said, "What's wrong with you?"
Yang Ling touched his nose and said: "Is this Wang Zhaojun out of congestion?"
Cheng Qiyun smiled and said with a smile: "No .... count? If it counts, it is also inserted backwards."
Cheng Qiyun laughed aloud just after she finished speaking, unrestrained and unpretentious, and she was very happy to laugh. Yang Ling had never seen her laugh so openly in front of herself. Her voice was so crisp that she was infected, and Yang Ling finally couldn't help laughing. ‘
The soldiers and maid at the door surprisedly probed the probe inside, and quickly retracted it.
Yang Ling smiled and sat back in his chair. He gave Cheng Qiyun a meaningful look and said, "Cheng Dajun's 'top strategy' is undesirable. You, despite all your wisdom, some ideas can't get rid of a woman's shackles, That's why it's unclear if the state affairs and family affairs are mixed together. Anyway, if we don't talk about court decency, it's the individual officials who go for this purpose ... It's also a gentleman who doesn't do anything. Look, is it not a gentleman?
Cheng Qiyun wrinkled her nose playfully, thought for a moment, then turned her eyes and said cunningly: "Then ... only scams and frauds, both ..."
"Oh? How do you say that?" Yang Ling gave her a suspicious look.
Cheng Qiyun whispered to him, Yang Ling thought after hearing it, and said with a smile: "It seems that this official is trying to hear from you what a bright and serious strategy, hehe, let's try it ... .. "
Adni speaks Chinese, but does not know Chinese characters. This is not surprising. Most Chinese who smuggled and ran into ships or even sailed on Westerners ’ships were mostly illiterate. She could learn Chinese in just two years. Profitable. It is already very smart.
Yang Ling still has a lot of documents to deal with every day, but now that Cheng Qiyun has arrived, many affairs can be handled by Cheng Qiyun. All important official duties are sent to Yangling's study by all departments and departments. After Yang Ling read it, he must pick it up and leave it to himself. The rest is transferred to Qiyun study, and this work is handed over to Adnie.
In this matter, Adni is quite competent. And Adena is obviously very tired of the life of hiding in the boudoir all day long without the door and the second door. Once she has a job, even the simplest things will make her whole body become spiritual and bright. Yes, full of charm.
Once Yang Ling had gathered officials from various military, political, tax, and criminal labor departments and local minorities to discuss matters of political, military, economic, administrative, taxation, and labor issues, Adene only needed to be present. They all listened to their ears with great attention.
Especially when Yang Ling talked about many more advanced, scientific theories and concepts beyond the present era, it made Adenie look extraordinary and admired. When there were only two people in the room, Yang Ling approved the official document. Adeni shook the lupin slightly and served tea.
"Well, I didn't expect such a small thing as the Ryukyu garrison, the response would be so great. Daming sent his permanent garrison abroad for the first time. The small countries around the vassals responded strongly, and some hoped to follow this example. The land is very nervous, worrying that the court will interfere too much with them, "Yang Ling pointed to a secret newspaper from the factory guard.
Adeni already knew the location of Ryukyu and the relationship between Daming and the nations, and smiled playfully: "That is nature, the more powerful the country is, the less willing to be controlled and human. In fact, the small countries around Daming It has been established for at least hundreds of years and has a perfect system. It suffices to surrender to the vassals. Daming is so powerful and has a large population. Why not go further and develop colonial territories? "
"Colonial?" Yang Ling was startled.
Adeni said: "Yeah, there are no unified countries in many places. It is some loose tribal organizations. It occupies vast land and is easy to conquer. Occupy these places. Establish the Governor, even if it is not for the purpose of looting, As long as it is its own source of raw materials and sales market, it will also generate huge wealth for the country. "
Yang Ling thought for a while and shook his head and said with a smile: "It's impossible. We Han people have inherited thousands of years, and they have formed a unified national concept. They don't want to expand outward in thinking. Institutionally, the imperial court will not allow an independent and powerful armed force to exist outside the central government.
Adenie frowned lightly: The Chinese thought was strange, and no one in her country would consider this question. It seems that what is common in the West may not work in the East.
But Adeni was not convinced. She thought about it carefully and said, "If ... The wealth generated in these places is enough to make the court move, and it does not require the court to spend a lot of money and manpower like sending heavy troops to Ryukyu. The place can still be ruled by the empire, will the emperor allow it? "
Yang Ling straightened up and said with interest: "Go on, what do you mean?"
Adeni Chengzhu said in his chest: "I just said that there are only many loose tribes in many places, and they are extremely backward. With a Ming army weaponry, a small number of troops can conquer.
These places had nothing to do with the imperial court. Now they can be incorporated into the territory of the empire, providing a lot of wealth, and dumping the produced goods. I do n’t think that a promising emperor will have such a shortsightedness and will not be interested in it ... "
Yang Ling nodded and said, "So what about continuous rule? Since there is vast land there, obviously it cannot be maintained by a small number of troops in this area. How to ensure order there, formulate relevant laws, transport large amounts of land materials, and collect taxes , Rule? "
Adeni seemed to be interrupted by his cross-examination. She frowned unpleasantly and said in a somewhat forgotten manner: "Adult, it's very impolite to interrupt a lady's local words."
She was young, though she had knowledge. But there is no city, and the identity of the other party is simply forgotten after the debate. It is completely unexpected that in Daming, a woman interrupts a man at will.
Yang Ling didn't think so, he raised his eyebrows, nodded funny, and quickly closed his mouth to listen to her.
Adeni thought about it. He continued: "As for the fear of sending a large number of expeditionary forces, the world is like a self-reliant king, and eventually it will be bitten. This situation will not happen. First, as long as the central government is strong and unified, it will be difficult for the colony to rebel. After all, its existence depends on the central government. To be independent requires many conditions, which can be described as difficult.
Secondly, because there was no strong and unified government at all in those places, there was no need for a large army, and a 1,000-member Daming army. Relying on artillery and swords is enough to conquer those poorly equipped tribes. Will the Empire even be afraid of a team of thousands of people?
In future rule, local officials and mercenaries can be recruited locally, and foreigners are hired to obey their own military. This is what my country does. In this way, the supreme ruler of the place belongs to Daming, but they are a minority, and they use the power of the empire to conquer the locality, and have no guts to rebel.
Moreover, the Governor can change every three years without giving him the opportunity to establish private armaments that absolutely obey the individual. The local indigenous people were deterred by the force of the empire. At the same time, many of their local people were hired by the empire to become profit-sharing parties. Therefore, it is difficult to organize effective resistance. You know, they did n’t have a country originally, and as long as they are not too harsh on them, it is difficult to have a common belief to form a strong anti-government organization. "
She rises arrogantly and pulls a chair invisibly, sitting opposite Yang Ling, and continues: "Perhaps, they will have the power to resist a few hundred years later. But what does that matter? As the current emperor. He Only one thousand households were sent, and a place that did not belong to him would loyal to his court for hundreds of years and provide wealth for hundreds of years. Even if one day abandoned, there will be no loss for Daming. "
Yang Ling was thrilled. He held his chin and thought for a long while. He laughed and said: "It seems reasonable, now there are Tatars in the north and Japanese pirates in the south. When these places are calmed down, the opening of the sea and the establishment of business are also effective. Our sailors It is also more powerful, familiar with marching and fighting in countries near and far, and at sea, all conditions are ripe, and I will speak to Your Majesty. "
Adeni took a smirk and stood proudly, not paying attention to the flashing look in Yang Ling's eyes, and brought out a hint of meaningful smile.
Yang Ling often reads the official document, picking up the main points and talking to her. At first, Adenie pretended to be ignorant. I do n’t know if a good person who has always been considered honest and simple is pretending to be like an elephant. Being blinded by vigilance.
At first, Yang Ling only skillfully asked how to handle these things in her country, and only let her express the facts of the operation in that country, so that even if there is any disclosure, it will not be inconsistent with the identity of a villager ’s land, not to mention Adeni. Very accustomed to women participating in politics.
With the reluctance to confess and narrate properly, she refuted indignantly for some of Yang Ling's insights, and was refuted indignantly. Yang Ling, an opponent who is familiar with the psychology of others and the most debating debate, step by step, improved her own opinions without trace As Adeni said more and more, she didn't realize that what she had expressed was already inconsistent with her identity.
Although Adni is very knowledgeable, he is, after all, a young girl of eighteen years old. She knows so much about the cunning of official figures. What's more, this eastern kingdom has existed for thousands of years. Its officialdom is far more complicated than that of the west and her small country with less than one province. Even though Yang Ling is a newcomer in this officialdom, it is easy to deal with her.
This is not the first time Yang Ling has discussed political affairs with her. She is also unconsciously accustomed to this kind of status as a staff member, and is quite pleased with her ingenuity.
Yang Ling listened to her eloquently and talked about something, and often had unique insights, so when she encountered some difficult problems, she casually said that she listened to her, and the two expressed their opinions, and sometimes the conversation was forgotten, and even scrambled.
At this time, Adni was like a child who was very eager to heart, completely forgot the identity of his own slave girl, and pulled the chair to the opposite side of Yangling, and began to mention the facts and set the basis, regardless of political and military The talk is endless. Did not notice Yang Ling's playful and playful eyes at all.
After all, Yang Ling comes from modern times, and her ideology is more advanced than hers for hundreds of years. Sometimes, Adeni is speechless. When she thinks about it carefully, she will admit Yang Ling is right. This frank character is very Like people.
However, many consciousnesses that were too advanced were unrealistic under the circumstances and conditions at that time. Sometimes Yang Ling came up with the idea that he was right now and put it right. Adene proposed several basic material conditions and Consciousness asked Yang Ling to stop. At this time, Adni raised her eyebrows, and her complacent expression was beyond words, the charming expression that she couldn't express.
Unconsciously, the two became familiar with each other. The relationship between them was not like an adult and a maid, but like a boss and female staff in the office, very easygoing and harmonious. As a foreigner who lives alone and has no relatives or friends. Even though Adni is so independent and self-reliant, his emotional dependence on Yang Ling is getting heavier and heavier.
This is the Great Eastern Empire described in Marco Polo's Travels. He floated on the ocean for more than two years, and finally set foot on its land as a slave.
fortunately. This place is more civilized than the world described by Marco Polo. The adults here do not regard the slave girl as a personal item that can be disposed of at will. He ... This Lord Marquis of the East, I respect very much. He has profound knowledge and noble upbringing.
She glanced at Yang Ling quietly. Yang Ling was wearing a silk knit shirt and was looking at a document intently. The thick and dark hair, the stiff nose bridge, and the smooth face, focused on the dignified eyes, quietly touched the feelings of the young girl.
This is the most handsome oriental man I have ever seen, and he is very funny. motherland. It is impossible for me to go back anymore. Will he be the man I have been with all my life? Perhaps, for a slave girl, there is no happier thing, after all, he is such a good man.
The governor-in-chief of hundreds of thousands of troops, my God, all the old and weak women and children in my country are counted as only one million people. The six provinces of his governor. Six larger than our kingdom.
Adni's dream was to have a handsome knight. Can ride a tall horse to her side, kneel on one knee, gently kiss on her hand, and then take her back to her manor and castle. Although it is not an imaginary scene now, he should be a prince destined to belong to himself.
Wandering for thousands of miles, a young girl wandered through the wolves until she was so lucky to meet him. Isn't it God's will? This kind of communication is really crazy, there is no dance, no banquet, no moonlight appointments, no roses he has picked for himself, and he will become his woman himself, and ... he seems to really love Fuck him.
Adeni's heart jumped up like a deer, grow so big, she really never stationed a man in her heart, because she began to learn the etiquette of the nobles since the age of five, the lady's talk was still There is dance.
She also has to learn fencing, horse riding, and shooting. In terms of language, history, and philosophy, she has the best teachers in the country and is proficient in Latin, Greek, French, Spanish, and Italian.
She is the pride of Agavi, the most flamboyant lady in the Portuguese high society. I do n’t know how many handsome knights, young barons, and viscounts circling around her pomegranate skirt, treating her as the noble princess, but now she has fallen Become a slave girl.
Adeni sighed softly, and she noticed that Yang Ling's brows were also locked, and there was an uncontrollable anger on her face. The hand holding the official document was trembling gently, and she couldn't help but stopped the fan in her hand and asked with concern: "Sir, what happened?"
Yang Ling did not talk to her about the contents of the official document as before, and looked at her with even a trace of disgust and hatred. Adeni stepped back in surprise, Yang Ling lowered his eyes, forcibly suppressed his anger, and after a while, said coldly: "Give this document to Master Cheng and ask her to read it immediately."
Adeni didn't ask any more cleverly, she promised to take the document, and hurried to the door, she heard Yang Ling calling: "Wait, uh ... If Master Cheng is not too busy, tell her to read it The official document saw me later. "
"Yes, sir." Adeni agreed in a panic and quickly slipped away.
Sitting in Cheng Qiyun's room were two officials wearing green robes, and seemed to be talking to her about business. Adeni has always been afraid of Cheng Qiyun's eyes that seem to understand everything. She may not have such a profound knowledge and know so many skills, but her understanding of human nature, and her thorough understanding of the human heart, often makes Adni in There was a feeling of evasion in front of her. So she often avoids Cheng Qiyun unconsciously.
After repeating Yang Ling's words, Adnie silently exited the room. Yang Ling has never spoken to her in such a cold tone, and her eyes will look disgusted. If Yang Ling regarded her as a female slave who wanted to get what she wanted, and had never respected her, she might not care so much about Yang Ling's attitude, but now she is sad.
As soon as Adnie walked out of the door, Cheng Qiyun heard an angry cry: "Beast!"
Adene was startled, and she couldn't help her footsteps. Looking left and right to see no one outside the door, he flashed quietly to the side, holding the grapevine to his ears and listening. Only one official in the room asked, "Sir, what happened?"
Cheng Qiyun seemed to remain angry. Leng Chu said: "The pirate fighters from Canada landed the pirates while I was swarming towards the army, occupying Tuenmen Island, sneaking into the county of Dongguan, and looting women and children. Those who abused women and eat children are really a group devil!"
Adni's horror: The pirate pirate attacked the Ming court? She knows that these pirates from her own country are cruel and brutal, and they are often insulting to those small countries along the way. It is also commonplace to kill people. Daming was apprehensive. It is still rare to provoke the Ming Dynasty. I do not know how many pirates are full of thorns and dare to attack Daming directly.
But when it comes to eating children raw, Adni feels aggrieved. Ming people have always regarded them as a wild life, but they don't know that they have come all the way, and they always worry that the indigenous people in those countries with strange clothes will be cannibals.
The pirate ship where she works employs the Ming people, and those people often say that they blamed strange people in the past. Seeing them look strange. Folks say that they are from the cannibal kingdom, and they said vividly that they had better eat children. A steamer in an iron pan is often used to steam a child into sweat, and then to remove the bitter skin with an iron brush. At this time, the child is still a living person, and then the stomach is cooked and eaten. He heard Adenie was sick.
But she did not dare to go back and argue, because the women who were taken away were bound to be humiliated and finally sold to India or the West with those children as slaves. This is the main purpose of pirate trafficking in human beings, and it is also full of sin. What else can she justify?
No wonder Lord Yang looks at himself with such eyes, it turns out that it is for this reason.
Adeni feels more troubled. Their country is not like Daming, where there are small and many countries, and there are many races. Because of different religious beliefs, they can't fight each other. Therefore, the nobility attaches the most importance to the family group, and there is no such strong national consciousness and ethnic consciousness in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, she would not feel friendly because those pirates are Franco-French, nor do she feel that she should be responsible for pirates who were born with Franco.
However, although Adni thought this way, she also knew that the Orientals did not think so, otherwise there would be no such thing as the Nine Clan, which could not be understood or existed in their local criminal law. The legal basis spawned by the different ideologies and consciousnesses precipitated by the social system, Adeni had to return to Yangling's room with a sullen mood.
On this day, Yang Ling was extremely cold to her, and all the people in the house and the servants of the government quietly changed her attitude. As a human who needs group life, especially she has gradually adapted to the environment and atmosphere of the place. This kind of indifference abandoned by everyone makes Adeni become unhappy and can't eat dinner.
On the second day, Adnie took care of Yang Ling, serving tea and making towels, and hand towels, but Yang Ling was very polite to her, but she lost her kindness in the past. It was almost noon, Cheng Qi Yun suddenly hurried to the room and said authentically: "Adult, Folangji ...".
She didn't notice that Adene was here until now, and said to her busyly: "Adeny, you leave first, I have important things to talk to adults."
Adeni quietly gave a salute and retreated quietly. She turned the door and walked along the corridor for a few steps, as soon as she exited the room. He crossed the railing, squatted under the window with his skirt, crouched down. Here is full of vines, and inside is the place where Yang Ling's desk is placed. If Cheng Qiyun wants to talk to an adult about business, it should be heard clearly here.
She heard Cheng Qiyun mentioning the Franco machine, and she has been left out by others for the past two days. It is because of this matter, and how she will be dealt with in the future may be tied to this matter. How can she not be concerned?
Adene crouched under the window and only heard Yang Ling ask: "What news?"
Only Cheng Qiyun said: "My lord, my secret agent posing as a trader, has contacted the Daming people on the pirate ship of the Franco aircraft, and has known them to them, and promised to pay a lot of money. They have agreed to take a boat tonight. Escape the pirate ship, if it is convenient to carry a small Folang cannon. If it is inconvenient, it does not matter, they already know the reason for the manufacture and use of that kind of cannon, and we can make it with our cannon craftsman shadow painting graphics . "
"Okay! Great!" Yang Ling said excitedly: "Arrange the heavy soldiers to make sure that these sailors are safe to go ashore. Although our warships and artillery can deal with this gang of pirates. But after all, the firepower is slightly inferior. Familiar with the structure and power of their artillery, it is much easier to win, ha ha ha ... ".
Adeni Yiqi: "It turns out that the adult sent the spy to buy the sailor on the pirate ship. He wanted to steal the secret of the artillery. He ... he asked me that day if he was familiar with Western artillery, was it for this reason? I ... also I thought he had doubts about my identity ... ".
Adeni was thinking about it and listened to Qi Yun again: "Adult, you already know that Adni knows how to use swordsmanship and muskets. Could a civilian girl know these things? A slave who was trafficked, if the pirate sold A high price, it is naturally possible to keep her virgin body, but the pirate ship came to Daming. And she was allowed to stay on the ship for two years before it was sold. How is this possible? Now we are going to fight with the robots of Folang, she is a Buddha "Lang Jiren, it's too dangerous to stay with adults."
Adeni almost called out: "What does it matter to me that those pirates are killed? Despicable, she wants to drive me away from the adults."
Only listen to Yang Ling's hesitant voice: "I see ... Adeni is innocent and kind-hearted, not like a person with a bad heart, let alone those pirates who are evil. She is also a victim of pirates. How can she doubt her?"
There was a warmth in Adni's heart, and a warm stream of gratitude and happiness flooded the whole body.
Only Cheng Qiyun sneered: "Adult. Since she is good at muskets and long swords, how could she be completely ignorant of artillery? The adult asked her that day, why should she hide her? She was victimized by pirates. Or why not conceal the true identity from adults?
The adult is tied to the safety of the six provinces. The so-called sons of the golden family can't sit down. The lowly responsibilities are responsible for the safety of the adult. How can one allow a person whose life experience is a mystery and may be dangerous to the adult to stay with the adult? Whether she is a spy or not, such a person cannot stay with the adult, please think twice. "
Adeni bit her lip and secretly felt annoyed: This woman must be jealous. I have long seen that she likes adults, but I didn't expect her to frame me. My identity is really special, but I ... I never thought about hurting adults , I dare not say my identity.
The room was silent for a moment, and only listened to Yang Ling's voice in a low voice: "So ... what are you going to do with her?"
Upon hearing this sentence, Adeni poured down like a pot of cold water. She dropped her head in despair, and two teardrops dripped gently on the green grass leaves, only listening to the cold voice in the room. : "She's just an unidentified woman sent by the pirates, where else can she place? It's better to kill it."
Adni was shocked and only heard Yang Ling anxiously: "No!"
Cheng Qiyun immediately replied: "Then ... sold into the brothel in the blue house."
Adeni's bite on her lips was bleeding. "Women! Sure enough, only women are women's true enemies. Jealousy is like a cup of poison, making them as vicious as a viper!"
"No!" Yang Ling stopped again, and he sighed: "Ah! I really hope that Adene is a reliable person, but unfortunately we are fighting with the robot machine, but she is still unknown in this army. The confidentiality is really not suitable. Well, I ... I will ask her one more time, if she still refuses to be honest with me ..., she is an interracial woman who ca n’t survive, help her find a willing to ask "Foreign women, marry her."
Adeni's tears dripped down, and Cheng Qiyun in the room stood opposite Yang Ling, raised her eyebrows, and silently made a lip to him: "Adult, you are, more and more, more evil, ".
Yang Ling also replied with a lip: "Learn from you", then the two laughed at each other.
Cheng Qiyun had been away for a long time before Adeni slowly moved away from the window, stood up with some tingling thighs, walked back to the door staggeringly, and stood there for a long time.
Yang Ling was looking through a pile of documents, and did not notice her appearance. Adeni bit her lip, struggling for a while, and finally gathered her courage. She raised her head and raised her head and said: "Adult!"
Yang Ling looked back in amazement and saw her, then nodded and said: "Adnie? Come in."
After he finished speaking, he turned his head, and suddenly felt something weird, and turned his head to look at Adni. The eighteen-year-old exotic girl is still dressed as the Daming woman's dress, but the kind is always humble, even with a faint smile.
She was dressed as a woman, but she stood upright, exuding temperament, dignity, elegance, and self-confidence in her body. It seemed ... and tragic as if on the execution ground. On her beautiful and exotic face, her delicate and rosy thin lips were tightly squeezed together due to tension and seriousness, her bright and moving eyes, her straight and straight nose, and her energetic vigor.
Yang Ling frowned, wondering, "Adeny, what's wrong with you?"
Adeni had a full-out look, and she took a breath, then stepped into the door with one foot, and then touched her feet with a "snap". She raised her head, raised her head, and stood upright, saying a string of weird words.
Yang Ling didn't understand. He put down his official document and stood up just to ask. Adni has repeated it in Chinese.
She looked at Yang Ling very seriously and said in a word: "The captain of the Royal Portuguese Navy, the instructor of San Francisco Maritime School, and the Baron Yalli Adeni, see Governor-General Mingqin Mission, His Excellency Yang Ling"
