I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

Of course, after Takasugi Shinsaku left, Muya organized a disinfection team to disinfect his blood books three times.

Governor Zheng Baoguo had people use pig blood and paint to repaint the poem as a landscape of the Ming military base stationed in Japan, and sent someone to Gaoshan as a condolence item—a piece of Xinjin ham.

A thousand gold buys a bone... Being Daming's dog has always been very happy!

Three days later, the Governor's Mansion dispatched 500 troops to Japan, and Shinsaku Takasugi set up a 2000-member Changzhou Familia Raiders. Suddenly, tens of thousands of people who spread rumors were arrested.

More than 3800 of them were identified and killed by means of "step painting".

The so-called "stepping painting" is not an invention of Takasugi Shinsaku or Daming, but a method promoted by the shogunate after the Amakusa Rebellion, that is, people trample on crosses or holy pictures, which can be described as murderous.

According to Maori Jingqin's order, the head was hung on the wall of the feudal hall without plaster, and let flies and crows eat it.

Shinsaku Takasugi used blood, um, this time it wasn’t his own blood, and wrote:

"Humans and ghosts have different paths, Japanese soldiers have different colors, and foreign slaves come here to seek their own death!"

It also wrote under the red gourd logo of Ming Dynasty Medicine:

"The mountains and rivers are in the same domain, the wind and the moon are in the same sky, the master Wang is going to be a pioneer!"

So far, this small-scale Amakusa rebellion seems to have subsided.

But in the countryside where no one noticed, a few sneaky guys crossed the river, heading north, towards Edo, where the British and French consulates were located.

This is the heaviest loss of the Japanese church since the Changqing period, and all of this must be judged by God!

They believe that adults from the Christian world will uphold justice for themselves.

……

In addition to this unknown hidden danger, another thing that caught the Changzhou Fan by surprise was an imperial decree from the Emperor of Heaven—"The Xuan Maoli Fan Football Team Enters Beijing to Compete".

To put it simply, Zhu Fugui asked the Maori brother to send a football team to Fengdu to play and collect cultural value.

This is worrying about Maori Fan.

Originally, this edict arrived with the medical ship, and the Changzhou Domain should have had enough time to prepare it.

However, after the field investigation by Mu Ya and others, it was found that the tuberculosis outbreak in Xiaguan and other places had an incubation period of up to one and a half months.

In order to prevent the spread of the epidemic to Fengdu, the medical team required the football team of Maori Fan to be quarantined at Xiaguan Port for one and a half months before boarding a ship to Daming.

God is sorry, Maori Jingqin really doesn't know what football is.

I had no choice but to go to the folks to find talents who can play Cuju.

Cuju is not very popular now, so I can't find it at all. In the end, I had to find a dozen masters of shuttlecock kicking to fill it up.

But just this group of people had to be quarantined in Xiaguan for a month and a half.

Not to mention the integration of training now, it is not too late to rush to Fengdu.

But this is another game that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty must participate in repeatedly. It also shows that non-native brachial thighs are not allowed to enter.

This is not a cuju competition!

This is to celebrate the Ming Dynasty!

The emperor ascended the throne, and the Changzhou domain has not entered Beijing to pay homage so far. It is a dereliction of duty. Now that the emperor is calling, can it be delayed?

So in the end, Mao Lilan, as the concubine's daughter of the feudal lord, boarded Bingchen Wan and sailed towards the Great Tomorrow Dynasty with a boat of tribute.

Chapter 250 The Shock of the Maori Mission

Arriving next to Bingshinmaru was the Viscount Rose, a cruise ship from London.

Like the declining British aristocracy, although the ship maintained the superficial grace of the past, it was still in deep financial crisis and was still leased to a group of children of the bourgeois upstarts.

The father's generation quickly acquired astonishing wealth, but they did not have the background accumulated by the nobles for hundreds of years, so these young masters and ladies urgently needed to find a new identity.

At this time, a writer named Huang He came quietly with the most indescribable fan circle trick in a hundred years...

……

Although the distance from London to Xinjin is much longer than Xiaguan to Xinjin, Earl Rose's speed is much faster than Bingchen Wan.

In fact, when Bingchenmaru arrived at the port, the staff at the dock thought it was a ghost ship that had been shipwrecked and was photographed by the waves.

This old Japanese ship built in the Bingchen year was able to complete this feat of crossing the Pacific Ocean. It really benefited from praying to Emperor Lie at the Akama Shrine before sailing.

At least Mao Lilan and her maid Xiao Ai are convinced of this.

The Bingchen Maru was originally to be towed to the Royal Second Shipyard for overhaul.

However, the technical staff of the shipyard took a look at it, and it is recommended to directly consult the museum whether to collect this old-fashioned Japanese sailboat.

As for the shipyard, anyway, the value of dismantling and recycling waste has not been discovered.

Uemon, the leader of the Changzhou football team, still wants to argue. After all, this is the best boat of the Mori family. How can it be kicked around like a football?

That's right, although football in my understanding is similar to kicking a shuttlecock, it is also kicked back and forth.

His own baby has become garbage, which makes Eemon more or less unwilling.

However, when the director of a certain workshop of the second ship led him around the docks and saw that there were more than a dozen giant ships of two to three thousand tons being built at the same time within his sight, the little old man Youemon stared. Out.

It seems that what Beichuan's intelligence said is true, this is the country of ten thousand chariots, and the rules must not be exceeded!

"It is the greatest honor of Bingshinmaru to become the treasure of the Japanese slave hall of the Daming Museum!" Uemon stroked his beard and showed an innocent smile.

……

Although Bingchen Pills were thrown around as garbage, Mao Lilan and his party received hospitality from Daming as envoys of the Nei Fan, and Honglu Temple arranged for them to stay at the Fugui Hotel in Xinfeng.

This six-story Xinfeng landmark building is 28 meters high, luxuriously decorated, full of various bright plastic, aluminum alloy, and stainless steel handicrafts, and it is priceless at first glance.

When I heard that the cost of staying in the grand commander-level suite here was as high as 20 Dewu Tongbao for one night, equivalent to nearly 14 taels of silver, even Mao Lilan couldn't help covering her mouth with a slender hand.

At such a price, I am afraid that those loan sharks in Osaka would not dare to move in easily!

Fortunately, Honglu Temple will not arrange Japanese envoys to stay in top-level suites, but prepared business rooms.

Even so, each room costs 8 yuan a night.

But the Heavenly Dynasty Shangbang does not earn your money, Honglu Temple pays half of the money, and charges you 4 yuan a night!

Look at the tortoiseshell (plastic) lamps, look at the bright stainless steel window sills, look at the floor-to-ceiling large windows with aluminum alloy frames, and the soup pool with hot water when you press the switch, and the chandelier that lights up when you pull the wire!

Charge you 2 yuan a night, which is equivalent to 1000 yuan, isn't it too much?

Is this reasonable?

It's very reasonable!

At least Eemon, who was as happy as a 60-year-old toothless kid, thought it was reasonable to repeatedly pull the chandelier switch repeatedly.

Such a cheap rent is full of the love of Da Ming's father!

It's just that the Mori family, a small feudal clan of 50 shi, has to fight against the whole of Japan. It's really poor!

So in the end, Youemon decided that, except for Himeki and Ai, all other samurai and players should be squeezed into a room of ten!

Of course, the population density of Japanese cities in this era is already very high. Samurai and players from places such as Yamaguchi and Shimonoseki do not feel crowded at all.

Instead, I felt like I was in heaven.

……

"Westerners...Westerners!! Youemon-sama!"

Just as Youemon was enduring the smell of his subordinate's stinky feet and studying the green plastic desk lamp shell, a shuttlecock master stumbled in.

Youemon stepped forward and slapped him in a circle: "Bagabagaxi, you vulgar countryman, aren't you a Westerner? What's all the fuss about!"

If it was a few years ago, Youemon would be a little scared to be honest when he heard the reputation of Westerners, but since Daming sent a team of white slave warriors, things changed greatly.

The unknown is the scariest thing.

Now Youemon discovered that if he stabbed a Westerner in the knee socket with a bamboo pole, they would also kneel down, go to the front line, and scream when he stabbed down, no different from Kazuto.

This is so scary!

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a white man in servants' clothes to push a dining car and knock on the door.

He said with a pure London accent: "May I Help you, Sir?"

It was not affected by the smell of stinky feet all over the room at all, and it looked very professional at first glance.

"Baga, you, Missy, stay here, and work far away!"

"Yes, Sir!"

After the two sides communicated without any obstacles, the white waiter left a delicious roast chicken and then backed away.

"Yo Xi, this is how these Westerners should communicate with them, do you understand?"

Uemon proudly glanced at the panicked shuttlecock master just now, then impatiently tore off a chicken leg, and sucked it hard.

Even in Changzhou, I don't often eat such delicious meat on weekdays, not to mention that after a month of wandering at sea, I almost vomited from eating salted fish!

However, the shuttlecock kicker obviously didn't want Lord Uemon to enjoy the chicken legs at ease, so he said in a still trembling voice: "My lord, my lord, I'm not talking about this Westerner...but..."

Following the direction of his finger, Youemon poked his head out, and saw a large group of foreign devils in strange clothes rushing over from the other side of the corridor.

This is really a "fancy dress", not just a simple dress.

At any rate, Youemon has seen many foreigners. He has seen top hats, black tuxedos, civilized sticks, and black leather shoes.

But these foreigners...

I saw the first person wearing glasses, a strange blue suit, a pair of shorts that didn't reach the knee, a red bow tie around his neck, and a pair of exaggerated white big-toed shoes on his feet...

The people behind him were all dressed in colorful and exaggerated attire, as if ghosts were walking in the night.

"Mom!"

Emmon slammed the door shut with a bang.

Chapter 251 The cultural infiltration of a small test

"Mr. Zhuge Huasheng, did you hear any strange sounds?"

"No, Mr. Holmes. Speaking of which, although the room here costs 1 pound and 12 shillings a night, it is indeed worth the money!"

[In the 19th century, 1 U.S. dollar was equivalent to 1.6038 grams of pure gold, and 1 pound was equivalent to 7.32238 grams of pure gold. For the convenience of calculation, this book takes 5 U.S. dollars = 1 pound, and at this time 1 pound = 20 shillings = 240 pence, so Zhu Fugui Didn't cheat the Maori missions, and did give them a discount of 1/2 of the rent]

"Yeah, if Robert knew that we were invited to come to Mr. Huang He's hometown for a football match, he would definitely go crazy with envy."

"Hey, it's a pity that the stupid Whig bandits actually tried to block Mr. Huang He's works, and claimed that these works violated the interests of the British Empire. It is unreasonable!"

"Hmph, next election I'm going to secretly vote for the Tory Outlaws, and let the damn bandits feed the sharks!"

The chattering and complaining disappeared at the end of the corridor.

……

160 years later, a scandal caused by the shameless fat man of the Mosaic team created the term "kneeling basket boy".

Of course, the influence of Daming today cannot be compared with any "human lighthouse", but the modern football model that transcends the times, coupled with the mixed offensive of original reasoning/sour love, still has a certain appeal.

At least that's the case for these spiritually empty rich kids.

The leader, the little fool in a blue suit, is His Majesty's brother-in-law, Julie's cousin Franklin Vanderbilt who was studying in Cambridge.

Of course, he himself still doesn't know that he has such a distinguished status.

He just came to participate in the first World No. [-] football match with a pure pilgrim mentality.

……

Two days later, in the newly built Fengdu Royal Stadium, the Great Bull Demon Cup officially started.

Originally, Zhu Fugui thought that the football field he built in three months should be the earliest football field in the modern sense in the world.

However, after consulting the information, it was discovered that as early as three years ago, the Northeast of England had a dedicated football field-Sandy Gate Stadium.

Of course, compared to the football stadium that can only accommodate 700 people, the Daming Royal Stadium can accommodate 5000 people to watch the game at the same time, which can be said to have more cards.

Sure enough, when the silly boys who entered the field in fancy homemade clothes entered the stadium, they were immediately stunned by such a huge crowd.

It is difficult to identify the authenticity of the legendary ancient Roman Colosseum that can accommodate 9 people, but this 5000-seat stadium is really magnificent.

The citizens of Fengdu with their families in the stands took advantage of the rare weekend to watch the national quintessence of the Ming Dynasty and appreciate the heroic posture of His Majesty Fugui playing football.
