Buddhism, when Guo Jia mentioned this sect, Zhen Yao's first thought was that this guy had impure motives. If we use Buddhist teachings to guide the people on the deserted islands, I'm afraid that after Buddhism takes root there, it won't be long before there are bald heads everywhere.
Zhen Yao himself does not like Buddhism, but he is still very happy to preach to other countries, especially some island countries. Suddenly a smile flashed across his face, and he said: "Buddhism is so profound that even Tao Gongzu in the past could not understand the true meaning of it. Maybe some barbarian islanders understand this?"
Guo Jia bowed and replied: "As long as the master sends people to teach carefully and uses Jia's predictions, it should be possible."
"What do you think?" Zhen Yao nodded his head inexplicably, then turned to ask everyone in the hall.
Jia Xu and others knew very well what Guo Jia's intention was, and it was simply to bring trouble to the Yamatai Island Kingdom that came to envoy him. And my lord was obviously keen on this, so naturally no one would object, and everyone nodded and said it was feasible.
The future fate of the poor Yamatai Kingdom was decided by Guo Jia in this way, and Himihu, who came to Wuji three times and kowtowed, was still dreaming of sweet dreams, imagining that he could take away the civilization and knowledge here from the Han Dynasty. .
Two days passed, and it was the end of the year. Wuji¡¯s ¡®nian¡¯ atmosphere became stronger year by year, which surprised Queen Yamatai, who had never had such a concept. But when I walked around Wuji City and saw every household laughing and celebrating, I felt envious. Yamatai was already considered a good country on the island, but compared with the Han Dynasty, the gap was immediately apparent.
With the arrival of the New Year, Zhen Yao was busy spending time with his family during the first month, and almost forgot about the envoy queen. Only Sun Qian was allowed to accompany him. But Beimihu asked to see Zhen Yao several times but failed, so he could only ask Sun Qian about some simple things.
Not long after, a group of monks came from afar, and it was then that Zhen Yao remembered Beimihu who had been "left out" by him. Pretending to worship Buddhism, Zhen Yao also invited Himihu, whom he had not seen for half a month.
Dozens of bald heads in the main hall were reciting scriptures, but Zhen Yao asked in a low voice: "Buddhism spread to the Han Dynasty from the east more than a hundred years ago. It has now taken root in our Hanzhou County, teaching people etiquette. Leading people to do good, Queen Have you heard anything about this?"
"I've never seen it." Himihu replied, not daring to say more. Because the monks who came to give lectures were very formal and had to take a bath and wash their hands. She even had to fast, which was something that her remote island could not understand.
Zhen Yao nodded and continued: "Ximatai is located in a remote place, and the people are dull and unintelligent. Yao has been thinking about it recently. If people like you want to return to the East and return to the Han Dynasty, they still need to learn etiquette. And the breadth of Buddhism is very important here. Help. I wonder what the Queen¡¯s intention is?¡±
Himihu didn¡¯t know that Zhen Yao was deceiving him. Looking at the scene in the lobby, he really considered Buddhism to be an indispensable part of Han culture, and replied with a happy face: ¡°I will obey the instructions of Lord Zhongshan.¡±
"That's very good." Zhen Yao nodded with satisfaction. The people on the deserted island are so easy to fool and have short knowledge. Many things in Buddhism are good, otherwise it would not have taken root in the Han Dynasty, but it is definitely not suitable for the island country that is still in the slave era. Zhen Yao has already thought that when Bei Mihu knows the truth of the matter. What will it look like?
For Zhen Yao, the visit of the queen of the island country is just a trivial matter. After arranging the matter, Zhen Yao stopped asking any more questions. With his help, he would definitely be able to handle this matter properly.
However, just when most of the first month had passed and Zhen Yao had already begun to prepare for the farming affairs, something big happened to his family again. My mother, Mrs. Zhang, fell ill without any warning, and became more and more confused day by day.
His mother suddenly fell ill. Even though Hua Tuo and many of his disciples checked on her one after another, they were unable to recover. There was so much snowfall a year ago that when the snow melted in early spring, it was much colder than in previous years. The old Zhang family failed to cross this threshold.
"Yan'er, Yao'er." Lying on the bed, Mrs. Zhang called out twice in a low voice, and two brothers, Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao, immediately came forward. Behind the two brothers, the three sisters Zhen Mi were also there. Although Zhen Jiang and Zhen Tuo were married to other people, their mother was critically ill, so how could they not come back to visit. Next to the girls were the younger members of the Zhen family, led by Zhen Ang.
Mrs. Zhang's face turned pale and she whispered: "Mom is going to see your father. From now on, the Zhen family will need your brothers to support you together."
"Mother." Zhen Yao is no longer the teenager he was then. Now he is nearly forty years old. He also knows that his mother will have this day sooner or later. He cannot say the childish words of reluctance like when he was a child, and holds his mother tightly. The palm of my hand, the silent reluctance is like this.
Zhang family could not survive the first month of the year. The New Year's celebration had not yet dissipated, and Wuji was once again enveloped in an atmosphere of sadness. After Zhang's burial, Zhen Yao placed his mother next to his father Zhen Yi's grave and set up a mourning hall next to the tomb. He and his second brother Zhen Yan visited each other every day.They are all here to guard.
Because of the night vigil, whenever Zhen Yao came to the Prefectural Mufu Mansion to handle official duties in the morning, everyone could see the fatigue on his face. Chen Lin, as the general manager of Guangda, could not ignore this: "My lord, the old lady has already Please take care of your health and don¡¯t let this go on."
"It's okay, Yao can survive." Zhen Yao shook his head silently. He knew very well how his body was, but this was not a reason to rest. Whether he is holding a wake for his mother or sitting in the state pastoral office, he must persevere.
And when Zhen Yao just sat down, Xu You walked in and said: "My lord, there is news from Qingzhou that just half a month ago, a warship capable of sailing in the waves has been built in the water village."
"A warship that can sail?" Zhen Yao's eyes solidified, and this news undoubtedly cheered him up.
Xu You didn't know much about warships, so he took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it over and said, "You don't know the details. This letter came from Donglai Water Village."
After receiving the letter, Zhen Yao opened it and read it carefully. After reading hundreds of words, he kept saying: "Okay, okay, okay." If Zhen Yao could be so excited, what was written in the letter would certainly not be ordinary. Little things.
Several years have passed since Chen Cheng left Wuji with a group of shipwrights and went to Qingzhou to build warships. There had been no breakthrough news before. Zhen Yao had already put no hope in it, but Chen Cheng unexpectedly decided to make a blockbuster move without making a fuss. The warship has been built, has been tested, and is fully capable of sailing on the sea.
A breakthrough in the construction of warships was a big deal for Zhen Yao. He immediately said: "Send a message to Qingzhou Water Village, and tell me that in half a month, Yao will personally go to inspect." If Zhen Yao didn't have to keep vigil for his mother, Zhen Yao would I am afraid that I will immediately put aside the things around me and go straight to Qingzhou to see what warships my men have built.
As soon as the vigil was over, Zhen Yao dragged his exhausted body away from Wuji and headed for Qingzhou. Accompanying him were not only Zhao Yun and a hundred personal guards, but also his son Zhen Ang.
After traveling for half a month, Zhen Yao arrived at Beihai. Sun Guan naturally came out of the city to greet him: "Guan, see my lord."
"No need, no need." Zhen Yao waved his hand slightly and helped him up. Apart from Zang Ba who was a rare general among the five Taishan bandit brothers, Sun Guan and Yin Li were also able to govern well. Under the governance of Sun Guan, Qingzhou still maintained the same state as it was under Dong Zhao's governance, and the agricultural harvests even improved.
"My lord is here, is it about the Donglai navy?" As a state shepherd, although he does not have military power, Sun Guan is still aware of these things. After all, all military supplies are provided by him.
Zhen Yao nodded: "Yes, we will stay in the city for one night and then go to Donglai tomorrow."
Sun Guan smiled and agreed. He had arranged Zhen Yao's residence a long time ago. He welcomed his lord into the house and set up a banquet to greet Zhen Yao and everyone.
The dinner was naturally very lively. Zhen Yao still hadn¡¯t been to Qingzhou for many years, and all the civil and military officials in Beihai were drinking and drinking. And little Zhen Ang also watched with wide eyes. Except when he was away on an expedition, he rarely ate with Zhen Yao's subordinate Wen Wu.
The sky was getting slightly brighter the next day. Zhen Yao got up from the bed and walked to the front yard. He saw Zhao Yun feeding his son. He immediately stopped and watched quietly.
Zhen Yao was also diligent in practicing martial arts when he was young. However, it was difficult to find famous teachers. He only knew how to exercise his body and then practice some common horse moves, so his martial arts skills could only be considered mediocre. But his own son is different. He has taken good care of him since he was born, and has chosen famous teachers with him. Now he is facing Zhao Yun, and he is looking good.
Zhen Ang didn¡¯t know that his father had already arrived, but Zhao Yun heard it from the footsteps, made a feint and staggered away from Zhen Ang, and said: "Young lord, this is what you have practiced today."
Zhen Ang is the only one who can make Zhao Yun get up so early in the morning as a sparring partner. This is also the feeling of master and minister that was forged when he went to Goguryeo. Although Zhen Ang is still young, he can only be regarded as half a master.
"Thank you, General Zhao." Zhen Ang returned the greeting with clasped fists, but he saw his father, wiped his sweat and stepped forward: "Father, my child has been able to fight General Zhao for eighty rounds."
"You brat!" He knocked on Zhen Ang's forehead gently but not too hard. Zhen Yao shook his head and said with a smile: "If Zilong didn't want it, you wouldn't be able to catch his three moves. Learn from me and don't be impatient. impatient!"
Zhen Ang, who originally wanted to hear praise, immediately dropped his head. Zhen Yao and Zhao Yun looked at each other, but burst into laughter.
After having a casual breakfast in the mansion, Zhen Yao left the theater city accompanied by Sun Guan and others. Donglai Water Village was built in Penglai, so Zhen Yao had to travel overnight and spent another two days to reach his destination.
"The last general, Xu Sheng, comes to see my lord!" As soon as he arrived at the water village, a young general led his soldiers to greet him.The only general in the water village, he can also be said to be the only leader of the regular navy under Zhen Yao's tent.
Xu Sheng, a native of Langxie, was the general of Soochow who followed the three governors Zhou Yu, Lu Meng, and Lu Xun in the history of the Han Dynasty. He was also one of the few water warriors who was active for a long time and had strong ability to command troops.
Unlike history, Xu Sheng did not go to Yangzhou to take refuge from Langye. When he became an adult, he was promoted as a filial and honest person and served as an official under Taishi Ci's account in Xuzhou, serving as a member of the primary school. When Taishi Ci knew that Xu Sheng was more familiar with the water and could lead troops well, he recommended to Zhen Yao that he could be considered for a general position in the navy.
For Zhen Yao, who was in dire need of naval generals, even Su Fei could be used, let alone Xu Sheng, who was famous in history. In this way, Xu Sheng transformed from a member of the Xuzhou Primary School to the top general of the Penglai Navy.
