Father can be an enemy to the country

Saying that this young man offered himself a pillow seat was not a prank, but a social behavior that he considered normal.

Among Japanese samurai groups, homosexuality has a long history. However, at different stages, the models of homosexuality are different. Unlike the Edo period, which was a big-scale "love of all walks of life", the more subtle "minor surname culture" is popular in this era.

Therefore, the nickname originally referred to the attendants around the shogun. Later, it also generally referred to the attendants around the famous names and minor names.

This is easy to understand. Most of the attendants at home and abroad in ancient and modern times have this role. For example, the bookboy is to the scholar, the attendants in Europe are to the knight master, and the Japanese temple is to the monks.

This is not only an emergency measure, but also mixed with loyalty and obedience. To put it simply, only after the surname is dedicated to the master can it be regarded as one of its own and be trusted and reused.

Only after the master accepts the person's recommendation as a pillow can he be regarded as one of his own and gain more loyal service from his subordinates.

Therefore, Shao Er Lai Pi did not think there was anything wrong with his behavior. Instead, he thought Yang Shiqi's rejection and disgust were very rude and refused to communicate with him for a time.

Yang Shiqi took a deep breath and wrote on the paper: 'Let's get down to business. ’

Shao Er Lai Pi nodded coldly.

‘Was the naval battle last night impressive? ’ Yang Shiqi wrote again.

Shao Er Lai Pi was silent for a long time, then Fang nodded again.

'Preliminary statistics show that the Kyushu navy lost more than 1,500 warships, and no officers and soldiers on board were spared. ’ Yang Shiqi continued to write: ‘All the ships of our army are basically intact, and less than a hundred people were killed. ’

‘Not so much. ’ Shao Er Lai Pi wrote anxiously: ‘Looking at it from below, our army’s losses are only a few hundred, not even a thousand! ’

'Our army set up an ambush at the mouth of the bay to block the retreating enemy. Your warships collided and became entangled with each other, and they were unable to escape. They could not pass until most of them were sunk. ’ Yang Shiqi explained patiently.

‘——’ Shao Erlai Pi sighed and drew a thick horizontal line on the paper. To express one's feelings, it is the earliest emoji.

‘What’s more, it’s unfair to you. ’ Yang Shiqi sighed and wrote: ‘The enemies of the imperial court are not Shao Er’s family. In the past, during the Battle of Dabaoyuan, your family was defeated by the Zhengxi Mansion. Why would you sacrifice your life for it today? ’

Shao Er Lai Pi was silent for a long time, and then wrote: "It is our duty to defend Kyushu." ’

"Hahaha." Yang Shiqi burst into laughter and wrote: "A hundred years ago, your ancestors also had this thought, but what did they get?" ’

"..." Young Master Lai Pi was silent again. This was the family history he had introduced to Yang Shiqi before.

Kyushu Shaoer's original surname was Mutou, and his ancestor, Mutou Shirayori, was a famous military commander at the end of the Heian period. He succeeded by jumping against the enemy's side and took up the post of Zhenxi after the establishment of the Kamakura shogunate. He has since laid down his roots in Kyushu.

Later generations served as Shaoer of Dazaifu for generations, so they were renamed the Shaoer clan.

At that time, the Shaoer family also served as the guardian of the Chikugo, Chikuzen, Bunzen, Hizen, Tsushima, and Iki Shikoku islands. He had the jurisdiction over the entire Kyushu territory, the power to adjudicate lawsuits among the imperial family, and the imperial family... that is, the shogun's direct subordinates The right of military mobilization of the samurai.

In addition, because he is in charge of the daily affairs of Dazaifu and has some power over foreign trade and diplomatic negotiations, he absolutely dominates Kyushu and is like the king of the Western Region.

However, the two attacks of the Yuan Dynasty a hundred years ago changed the political structure of Kyushu.

The Kanto Kamakura shogunate, who had long been dissatisfied with the Young Masters' domination of Kyushu, took advantage of the fact that Kyushu was unable to support itself and needed local support.

It greatly replaced many of the guardians of the Western Kingdom and cut the power of Shaoer, Otomo, and Shimazu by more than half.

Then step by step, the Shaoer clan was deprived of their military, foreign trade, diplomatic, judicial and other powers in Dazaifu, making the Shaoer clan no different from an ordinary daimyo.

Of course, the Shaoer family was extremely dissatisfied with this, and even the aspirations of the entire family became just eight words: "Expelling Dongyi and regaining Kyushu."

Therefore, at this time, Yang Shiqi mentioned what happened to the young family a hundred years ago, which was an immediate success.

Then I saw that Young Master Er Lai Pi's breathing became heavier, obviously being reminded of unbearable family memories.

He picked up his pen and wrote heavily: 'I and the Dongyi are at odds with each other! ’

‘What is Dongyi? ’ Yang Shiqi asked.

‘A person from the Kanto court. ’ Shao Erlai Pi wrote angrily.

‘Does the Northern Dynasty general count? ’ Yang Shiqi asked again.

'certainly. ’ Shao Erlai Pi nodded heavily.

‘Does Huai Liang count? ’ Yang Shiqi asked again.

Shao Erlai Pi hesitated for a moment and wrote: 'The same is true...'

Yang Shiqi then laughed: ‘Wake up, idiot. ’

Shao Erlai Pi fell into a long silence. After a while, he picked up his pen again and asked: 'Is it really just targeting Huai Liang? ’

‘It depends. ’ Yang Shiqi definitely wrote: ‘As long as the two of us cooperate, we don’t have to target you. ’

‘Hand over Huai Liang? ’ Shao Erlai Pi asked.

‘We must submit to the Ming Dynasty. ’ Yang Shiqi wrote.

‘We are the Emperor’s subjects. 'Shao Er Lai Pi was embarrassed and wrote.

'The word "emperor" is really an arrogance and should not be mentioned again. ’ Yang Shiqi wrote with a serious look: ‘Japan has been a vassal of the Celestial Dynasty since it was canonized in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Your King is a subject of the Celestial Emperor. How dare you call him this? ’

There was anger on Shao Er Lai Pi's face, but he had no way to refute. These days, he has been convinced by Yang Shiqi.

‘You can go back and ask your brother, do you want to be a subject of the King of Japan or the Emperor of China? ’ When Yang Shiqi was writing, he did not forget to change the page and write ‘Emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty’ in the position facing the sky.

What is professional? This is called professional. Young Master Erlai Pi was fascinated by this and thought he was too stylish.

But Yang Shiqi's question was really not something he could answer. After thinking for a moment, he asked for his brother: 'What are the benefits of being a minister of the Celestial Empire? ’

Yang Shiqi sneered secretly, but wrote calmly on his face: 'The sky is high and the emperor is far away. ’

This is the greatest benefit, and Shao Erlai Pi deeply believes in this.

‘As long as we remain absolutely loyal to the Ming Dynasty, the Shao Er family can rule Kyushu Island forever. ’ Of course Yang Shiqi can’t just play it up, he must also make some actual commitments on behalf of His Highness.

People who see this sentence will usually automatically ignore the first half of the sentence and only pay attention to the last half of the sentence. Shao Er Lai Pi was no exception. His eyes were shining, he nodded like he was pecking at rice and said: "Yo Xi..."

He quickly picked up a pen and wrote: ‘I can go back and send a message. ’

'We must hurry up, our army's war situation is changing with each passing day, and the value of Shao Er's family is declining every day. ’ Yang Shiqi wrote lightly: ‘This commitment only lasts until our army breaks through Shuicheng, and we will not give such a high bid after that...’

'clear. ’ Shao Erlai Pi nodded, but in his heart he disagreed with Yang Shiqi’s words. He had already seen that the Ming army was unwilling to suffer heavy casualties, and the artillery could not collapse the solid walls of Shuicheng. How could it be possible to break through Shuicheng?

In his opinion, Brother Shiqi was just bluffing and wanted the Young Master family to dedicate the city.

Yang Shiqi was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he asked someone to arrange a boat and personally take him back to the shore.
