[Comprehensive History] Clothes are all over the world

The experience of Japan, which has just gone from chaos to reunification, has not brought more happiness to the people of this country.

After going through the flames of war, the Japanese people finally ushered in the reunification and found that a smooth life did not come with the reunification.

The unification of the country directly displaced many people who took war as their career. These samurai who came out of the smoke still held a katana in their hands, but lost their allegiance.

They wandered the streets and alleys, and then they found sadly and bewilderedly that the admiration in the eyes of the people in the past turned to disgust, and the old admiration turned to contempt.

The souls of these people are still in a state of hostility with the northern regime, but they find that the people standing behind them have already called their majesty.

Therefore, they can only find ways to vent their physical strength and resentment of being abandoned by making trouble.

The law and order in Japan has entered the worst stage in history.

Some samurai slashed at the people with their knives, and some samurai stepped onto the deck. Their decision was to continue on the previous path. Not irreparable.

But recruiting soldiers and buying horses requires money. In order to seek peace from the Northern Dynasty, the emperor and powerful officials of the Southern Dynasty have exhausted their wealth.

So they decided to copy the way the Northern and Southern Dynasties used to do - to accumulate primitive wealth by plundering their neighbors, but they obviously made the wrong idea.

In recent years, Daming has continuously increased coastal defense, and the lighthouses arranged along the port provide sufficient vision conditions for night navigation. Even in the middle of the night, there are still ships along the coast that are rushing to deliver in the dark.

Originally, this would not be an obstacle. Rather, as long as it is not a large cargo ship, the Japanese pirates think they have the power to fight.These small cargo ships have limited combat effectiveness, and they are like appetizers before going ashore. If you are lucky enough to meet a grain transport ship, you will be full at once.

But just when they wanted to quickly climb up according to their past experience, and were about to raise their butcher knives to make a quick decision, they saw a burst of thunder suddenly sounded, and then, a white light flew across the air.

Thunder struck?The movements of the Japanese pirates froze slightly, and a Japanese who was about to take the life of the crew with a knife even put down the knife.

Poverty and misery have always been a haven for religion.Since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, all people in Japan have believed in Buddhism, and Japanese Buddhism, which has not undergone the Sanwu extermination of Buddhism, is full of political and provocative colors.

In order to gain more political status, Japan's Buddhism follows a top-down and bottom-up route. Since most people in Japan live on the poverty line, they are unable to pursue a higher spiritual life.

Japan's Pure Land sect even advocates "Others force their original vows, good people direct their opportunities."This sentence means that because Amitabha Buddha is omnipotent, there is no need to practice, as long as there are ten thoughts, you can be reborn.

Similarly, Amitabha Buddha has incomparable compassion, so he will not pick and choose, and decide whether to save or not according to a person's character. As long as he follows the "ten thoughts", even the most sinful people can be saved.

After Buddhism was exterminated several times, its transmission route in China became a political assistant, mainly choosing to persuade people to do more good deeds and practice more, but in Japan, Buddhism has become a fig leaf and umbrella for wicked people.

After all, how to get the blessing of Amitabha and how to get to the Pure Land requires a lot of wealth. In other words, no matter what means you use, as long as you have money, you can finally reach the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

This has led to ironic scenes that often appear in Japan, where the wicked do evil without any scruples, and then donate the stolen money to temples for peace after death.

But even the Japanese who grew up with such distorted teachings are very aware that what they are doing is doing evil, so when they hear thunder and lightning, they will involuntarily feel a little fear.

"It's just fireworks!" The last Japanese leader who boarded the ship yelled, "Idiot, have you never seen fireworks? These cunning Tang people are calling for helpers. If you don't move quickly, you will be surrounded!"

It’s no wonder that these Japanese pirates are ignorant. Although firecrackers have been invented for more than [-] years, the invention of firecrackers that actually used saltpeter was in the Tang Dynasty. In the mid-Song Dynasty, this was actually an out-and-out new product.

And saltpeter is fine, the gunpowder raw material for fireworks has become an important controlled commodity since the appearance of firearms, even in the Song Dynasty when the national conditions were relatively loose, and under normal circumstances only the Creation Bureau in the palace and officially commissioned individual institutions can manufacture .

Moreover, setting off fireworks is a huge test for wooden houses, especially today's fireworks are not high in height, and may still carry sparks when they fall to the ground. Therefore, every time fireworks are set off in Song Dynasty, there is a name for The firefighters of the submerged fire brigade are on standby, otherwise, given the density of buildings in the capital city of the Song Dynasty, there will be a "burning the capital" after the fireworks for people to watch.

Under various tests, even in the Song Dynasty, only residents living in Bianjing can see fireworks, and most of them choose to set off in the waterfront areas, not to mention Japan, which is far away overseas. Most of them are familiar with the term fireworks. Just listen to its name and don't know its appearance.

When they heard that the fireworks were going off in the sky, even though they knew it was dangerous, several Japanese pirates raised their heads involuntarily.

"Bang!" "Bang!" There were two loud bangs again, two beams of white light with long tails, like a Rahu star, shot out from the black mountain, crossed the sky obliquely, and slid down towards the sea.

"What a beautiful scene!" A young man who had shrunk aside tremblingly since boarding the ship raised his head and stared at the sky, "Is this the flower of fire blooming in the sky? Unbelievable, is this Daming?" ? Even in this kind of place, flowers of fire can bloom."

"Idiot!" As soon as his words fell, he was slapped heavily on the top of the head, and the Japanese leader roared, "This is a signal, hurry up! Don't be dazed, Daming's fleet is coming!"

His reaction was not unpleasant, but it was too late. Just when he was about to give up his plundering plan and return to the ship, the light of the lighthouse, which stood far away and was a quiet guidepost, suddenly changed from warm yellow to full of light. Warning red.

At the same time, two beams of light shot in their direction from afar, and after the fireworks as a symbol disappeared completely in the night sky, they pointed out the direction for Da Ming's army again.

The leader of the Japanese people blurted out a dirty word, "Hurry up, move quickly, don't take things, run away!"

Regardless of how many subordinates were still on the boat, he grabbed the young man who was closest and jumped towards his wooden boat, and then put an oar in the young man's hand: "Row quickly! Don't worry, Ming Dynasty The speed of the boats is very slow, as long as we row to the place where the lights can't shine, we can get out of trouble."

"Don't you wait for them?" The young man who was on the road to plunder for the first time took the oar tremblingly, and looked back in horror at the big boat that was just regarded as their possession. When there were 20 people on board, now there are only two people on board... no, three people.

While they were talking, a companion jumped into the water and swam towards them quickly. The young man hurriedly reached out to catch him into the boat. The man got on the boat and wiped the water from his face, and immediately picked up the oars and speeded up together.

With the strength of one more person, the speed of the boat immediately increased, and at the same time, the young man also heard the voices of his companions shouting, and they told themselves to wait for them.

The speed of the small wooden boat is definitely not as fast as the fishermen who have been with the sea for a long time, but now it is downwind, and the more violent sea wind at night has given them a helping hand in their escape, but it has also gradually made it difficult for the partners who rely on manpower to catch up. and despair.

"Wait for them, it's just a little bit closer." The young man said a little unbearably, he looked back frequently, and the movements of his hands involuntarily slowed down, and the miracle was that his movements did not attract the leader's scolding for himself , even the movement of the leader stopped unconsciously.

Although he didn't know why, he immediately took the opportunity to reach out to his partner swimming behind with his paddle, trying to catch him, but a scene that puzzled him happened.

The outstretched hand of the companion who struggled to swim to their side did not reach for his oars, but pointed behind them blankly: "That, that..."

"Which one? Hurry up and catch it!" The young man was in a hurry, and moved the oar towards him again.Unexpectedly, this action frightened his partner, who let out a low growl in horror, then turned his head without hesitation, and swam towards Daming.

At the same time, the young man with his back to the bow felt something was wrong. He found that the light that had been facing them seemed to have changed its direction.

The source of light is no longer behind them, but...in front?

He turned his head little by little, and his eyes met a giant sea beast with a huge mouth open.

The two torch-like ferocious yellow eyes of the giant beast have already locked on to them. Its huge body is a hundred times larger than their small wooden boat. In the night, they can see the snow-white reflection, ah, that must be The reflection of the sharp teeth in the mouth of the giant beast.

The night was still silent, the sea wind rolled up the waves, and the sound of tide after wave covered all the movement. They didn't know when this giant beast arrived here, but they all knew one thing clearly—— Can't escape, they must not escape.

In the extreme panic, the people on the boat couldn't help their knees softening, kneeling on the ground, surrendering in front of the giant beast with a posture of neck-throwing.

The absolute power suppressed them so that they didn't have the courage to struggle. Didn't they see that even the leading leader put down his samurai sword?

Just when they thought that they would be greeted by death, they heard the voice of someone speaking: "General Banner, why did these Japanese pirates get down before they were beaten?"

"I don't know, how dare you come to do business at sea with such a coward? In short, be careful, tie them up, and take the ones in the sea with you. Just take them with you to Japan to find trouble with the King of Japan."

"General Banner, is it better to turn off the lights, it's a waste of gas."

"Tsk, this is really not durable, it takes so much time, I haven't watched it enough."

"The general flag... the ships sailing have limited fuel, and the use of searchlights is definitely not as free as on the shore..."

"I know, I know, so long-winded, you go and lock it up! By the way, have you called Commander Ma? Let him decide how to deal with this matter."

What, what?

The three people on the boat looked up blankly, only to realize that what was in front of them was actually a huge ship, not some monster.

The two huge eyes that misunderstood them were actually the searchlights directly in front of the ship, and now its light was slowly dimming. After losing the strong light, the appearance of this giant ship became clearer under the moonlight.

In the night, the ship seemed to be a hundred feet long, and the house on a single deck had three floors. The bow wrapped in iron plates and the animal head hanging above it exuded a ferocious and fierce sharp light under the moonlight. Compared with these Come on, the soldier who was coming down the rope ladder looked much more gentle.

Yes, it's good to be human.

The limp Japanese pirates have only this idea at this moment.

At least, at least survived.

This is their second thought.

But soon, they came to regret the idea.

The direction of the ship was the Kansai region of Japan, and from the fact that they were tied into rice dumplings without being too embarrassing, they knew that they were ironclad evidence that the other party asked the emperor to explain.

With all the witnesses and material evidence, the Japanese government definitely has no room for defense, and there is bound to be a lot of bleeding, so after the bright boat is gone, can I still have good fruit to eat?

After realizing this, the leader of the Japanese pirates immediately changed his attitude towards the Ming army, and began to disclose the information he knew to the Ming army like pouring beans into a bamboo tube.For him, the generals and emperors of the Northern Dynasty were his enemies, and it was difficult to betray them. "They have an inexhaustible silver mine in their hands, and I know their silver mine is in the where!"

"Oh?" A tall figure walked up to him step by step under the moonlight.The young man was dressed in a blue brocade suit, with a three-beam crown on his head, and squatted down in front of him with his fingers pointing at his waist: "Tell me in detail?"
