    Chapter 247: Pineapple Travels On the second day, Ouyang went to see the Nine Eunuchs.  The Nine Eunuchs wanted to express their attitude, but Ouyang asked: "How do the Eunuchs plan to welcome everyone back to the court?" This question stumped the Nine Eunuchs. He had a memorandum drafted by the Hanlin Academy, but even he himself felt that it was not right, let alone  It is nonsense for a group of foreigners to recite these words. Even if they are recited to the officers and soldiers of the Hangzhou Fleet, only a very few people can understand them.  One good thing about Eunuch Jiu is that he is not ashamed to ask: "Master Ou, what do you think?" "Of course it is food. It has been floating on the sea for so long, and it is dried every day. I plan to have an open-air buffet. Mainly vegetables and fruits." Ouyang  Calculation: "There are still five or six days left until we arrive, so we will search for famous chefs nearby. A meal is more effective than ten thousand words. Anyway, when we get to Tokyo, the emperor will have to say it again." "What is a buffet?" Jiu Gonggong  Don't be ashamed to ask.  "You don't understand even if I tell you, I'll ask someone to do it." "" Eunuch Jiu was speechless.  Is there anyone who talks to the emperor with this kind of attitude?  But Eunuch Jiu couldn't care less and waved: "Go ahead, you can do it yourself." Ouyang knew people well. He had been wandering on the sea for more than a year. As soon as he landed on the beach, he spoke to the leader of the thief and saw the fruits and vegetables as soon as he landed.  , which is heaven and which is hell?  Of course, even if it doesn't take a year, the leader's speech is still a nightmare for the audience.  I just said a few words as a leader, which has been listed as one of the biggest lies of the last century.  ¡­ After several days of preparation, the shadow of the fleet finally appeared in the distance.  The lookout on the high mountain excitedly waved flags, and the flag bearer below reported: "The Hangzhou fleet has arrived." Ouyang heard the news and shouted: "Set cannons to greet them, kill chickens and pigs and prepare a banquet." The fleet heard the cannons and responded to the cannons.  The soldiers rushed to the deck, waving and shouting.  What greeted them at the dock were officers and soldiers from the Haizhou Hangzhou Fleet Camp.  When the fleet soldiers got off the ship, they were so emotional that they knelt down and cried while touching the ground.  There are even brothers who recognize each other and cry on their heads.  Ouyang grabbed someone casually and asked: "Where is General Liang?" "General Liang's ship landed last." "Oh" Ouyang stretched out his hand and said: "Hey, chop the rabbit Song." When several foreigners heard this, they were excited and grabbed Ouyang's hand together and said: "  "Three grams of oil." Ouyang greeted: "Take them to eat." "Yes," one of the guards said, "Three grams of oil." Apparently this guard has some foreign language skills.  , replied: "No three grams of oil." Ouyang said: "Brothers, there is time to cry later. Now there are great vegetables, and the famous chefs of the Song Dynasty are waiting for you. If you have enough vegetables, you will have enough wine." "Thank you, Master"  The soldiers were overjoyed.  I thought I would have to listen to people's nonsense when I got ashore, but I didn't expect that there would be food right away.  Looking again, it turned out to be Ouyang, no wonder.  It was boring on the boat, and celebrities from the Song Dynasty were dragged in to chat, especially the captain, who was mostly a student of Ouyang, and the soldiers also knew that this man was no nonsense.  Ship after ship arrived, except for the first opener, all the warships landed last.  Merchant ships are given priority, followed by foreign merchant ships.  This is the traditional Chinese way of hospitality.  Ouyang was so speechless that he finally met Liang Hongyu.  Liang Hongyu was dressed in a shabby military uniform.  His skin turned dark, and the two of them looked at it for a long time before Ouyang spoke: "Where is the skin care product I gave you?" "That mud dried up soon after getting on the boat." "I asked you to put it in the water." "The water on the boat  It's precious, how can it be wasted?" Ouyang smiled: "Let's go." "Well" Liang Hongyu asked, "Is it getting darker?" "Wellit's whiter than Wu Jialiang." "Whose name is Wu Jialiang?"  "We won't talk about this issue until the evening when you're dark." "It's damning, there's someone next to you." Liang Hongyu walked out of the dock and saw that the place where supplies were originally stored had been laid out with tables.  The table is arranged in a large circle with a white cloth spread over it.  More than a hundred pots of vegetables were placed on the white cloth.  There are tables and chairs everywhere around the big circle.  Ouyang put in a lot of effort to get these.  Liang Hongyu asked: "Did you do it?" "What do you think?" "Of course my husband is the only one who has this ability." Ouyang asked in a low voice: "Do you work first or eat first?" "Of course you eat first, I saw this green vegetable is bigger than  "It looks good to you." "Why?" "Because they are not bad." Liang Hongyu smiled and asked, "How to eat?" "There are plates and chopsticks over there, and there are tongs or spoons in the dishes. Just eat them."  Still in Niwai, the annoying Ninth Eunuch came: "General Liang, Zhuangzai brings the wine."Later, Ouyang also guessed what he was going to do, that is, Eunuch Jiu wanted to propose a toast on behalf of Zhao Yu.  And Ouyang also had to communicate with foreigners and make toasts.  It had been stipulated earlier that non-members of the fleet and merchant ships were not allowed to drink or eat.  Except for necessary entertainment ministers.  Those who haven¡¯t drunk have to carry those who have drunk back.  As night fell, Liang Hongyu, who had had a few too many drinks, approached Ouyang and said, "Take her away." So Liang Hongyu was taken away and brought to Ouyang's room.  Eunuch Ninth saw everything, sighed, raised his glass and ordered: "Put down all the foreigners." "Put down all the foreigners." Everyone gathered together to besiege.  ¡­ ¡­ As soon as the door of the room is closed, the hungry man and woman cannot bear it any longer, kissing like a storm, and stripping off their clothes with lightning speed.  They are all so eager and hungry.  Zhang San and Li Si stayed outside, listening to the voices inside and looking at each other.  Zhang San whispered: "Listen to this, I don't think your Excellency has ever been to Jiyuan in the past three and a half years." "What do you know, kid?" Li Si said contemptuously, stepped forward to stop a drunken official and said: "Your Excellency has already taken a rest.  "Have a rest?" The official asked with a drunken look, "What's going on inside? Are they screaming so miserable?" "Oh," the official wandered away: "Haizhou is really a rat."  "Big." Zhang San sighed: "It seems that I will go to Hangzhou more often." "Didn't you see that Jiu Gonggong has appeared?" Li Si said, "The fire can't be contained with paper."  .  After doing bad things, they bathe together and repeat the cycle It wasn't until the third watch that Liang Hongyu leaned softly against Ouyang and said, "Husband?" Ouyang shuddered. Men like to hear women say: I want it.  What I¡¯m most afraid of is hearing a woman say: I still want it.  For this trip, Ouyang endured half a month without touching a woman.  He understands women's needs, and it is a man's obligation to meet women's needs.  The common name is Jiao Gongliang.  "I miss you so much." Fortunately, Liang Hongyu said something else.  Ouyang hugged her and said softly: "I miss you too, have a good sleep. We'll talk tomorrow." "Yes" Liang Hongyu quickly fell asleep in her lover's arms.  ¡­ The next day, Liang Hongyu woke up and Ouyang was gone.  After staying in bed for a while, I put on my underwear and coat, opened the door and saw Zhang San outside.  Zhang San saw that Liang Hongyu had woken up and said, "General Liang." "Where is Mr. Ou?" "He was sent away by the Nine Eunuchs early in the morning." Zhang San said, "General Liang has a good rest. I will ask someone to prepare something to eat." "No, I  There are also official matters." Liang Hongyu hesitated for a while and said: "Zhang San, is it because of" Zhangtou: "Maybe, General Liang, don't worry, Mr. Ou is a measured person." "Wellyou.  Go take a look and tell Mr. Ou whether you want me to be a general or not. Don¡¯t let your future slip.¡± Zhang San smiled and said, ¡°General Liang, you don¡¯t understand me yet? General Liang just needs to do his own thing.¡±  After being separated from the adults for so many years, we can't keep secretly." Liang Hongyu nodded and walked to the yard and asked, "Is there a war going on at the front?" "I heard that General Yue also suffered heavy losses." Zhang San helped bring the water and said, "But the situation is the same.  Very good, according to your analysis, the first phase of the battle will be over in a month." "Your Majesty can talk about it on paper." "But after all, the emperor told you to alienate Yelu Dashi, and you did it.  "Not only that, he is also really capable of other things." Liang Hongyu smiled, suddenly feeling that she had made a mistake and could easily cause misunderstanding.  Zhang Sandang didn't understand and said: "Madam, take a rest after washing. Breakfast will be delivered soon." Liang Hongyu thought about it and nodded: "Okay" Jiu Gonggong asked: "What crime of deceiving the king does Mr. Ou know?" Ouyang laughed:  "Father-in-law, don't put such a big label on me." "What's going on between you and General Liang?" "Love at first sight." Ouyang said, "It was when she got off the boat yesterday." Well, there is no deception in this way.  "Yes, you Ouyang are capable, and you have a bunch of amulets, so the emperor may not be sure what to do with you. After all, you have to have an explanation for how to deal with you. Your matter is too unjustifiable on the table." Jiu Gong said fairly: "But General Liang may just  It's all a waste of time. It was possible to be crowned a king, but now it's better not to be accused. "Ouyang asked: "What kind of crime is this?" "Master Ou, we don't want to go around the bush to have an affair with General Liang.  , The emperor will not do anything if he knows, but if you do this publicly, I am afraid that you will be guilty of a greater crime than Cai Jing.??¡± Ouyang understood that Cai Jing made Zhao Yu angry not because of corruption, but because of his big fanfare, which made Zhao Yu look ugly. He was no different. Liang Hongyu was able to become a general because Ouyang wrote a letter of divorce. Once the relationship was made public,  Zhao Yu's face was naturally uneasy. Many people would also say that Ouyang used a delaying strategy to deceive Zhao Yu: "Master Ou, your Majesty treats you well.  Although it was a bit of a mistake, I even gave you my body.  Look at it now, General Liang has returned with great honor, and there is another war ahead.  At this moment, what do you want?  Do you want the emperor to take a breath?  Or he wanted the emperor to punish General Liang against the will of the people and the military.  You only want to be happy for yourself, have you ever thought about others?  " After all that was said, Ouyang could only ask: "What do you mean, father-in-law?  " "At least for now, you can't make your relationship public.  If you are really determined, General Liang will resign after the incident and you will succeed.  This can be explained to some extent.  " Ouyang asked: "Can I retire and return to my hometown?  " "Of course not.  "Jiu Gonggong said: "Let's be honest.  Mr. Ou has a great influence in business, military and people.  Even if Mr. Ou retreats, the impact will still be there.  If General Liang was still in charge of the military, not to mention the emperor, even Prime Minister Li would express his disapproval.  Furthermore, after you get married, if a woman is still on the boat with a group of men every day, it will bring shame not only to the adults, but also to the nobles.  Sir, you are the number one scholar after all, so you can't do whatever you want.  " Ouyang nodded and said: "I understand, I will not embarrass the emperor.  " There are also combinations of husband and wife generals, but there are absolutely no examples of male civil servants and female military officers. What is a gentry? It is the upper class. No matter how talented Han Shizhong is, he is still a military commander and has the right to command the army, but the military power is always in the hands of the civil servant group. Jiu Gonggong meets Ouyang  It was quite gratifying to hear this: "Mr. Ou may not know that His Majesty has become increasingly angry in recent years. His temper was relatively good only when he went to Beijing.  " Ouyang asked in surprise: "Why didn't I hear about it?  " "It is natural to show restraint to civil and military officials.  But the inner palace knows about the inner palace.  "Jiu Gonggong said: "Master Ou should know what is going on.  " "What's going on? Loneliness and loneliness lead to endocrine disorders. You may also have feelings for a man or a woman towards yourself. You understand, but you can't say it. Ouyang nodded: "Don't worry, father-in-law. I'll go to Beijing if it's okay."  "Although Zhu Xi hasn't done anything bad yet, everyone knows the Confucian etiquette. There is a saying after Zhu Xi that men don't show their knees and women don't show their skin. If a man touches a woman's skin, a woman will not change it in marriage. Before that, chastity was important to women.  After that night, I could understand what I had in mind After leaving the Nine Eunuchs, Ouyang still had to do things and meet with businessmen from various countries, and he had to go through a third party.  Translation. There are several important questions when visiting envoys. How do you feel about your body? Should you take a carriage or ride a horse? Where do you think it is more suitable to open a trading port? Businessmen from all over the world praised Ouyang for being very polite.  , very cultivated and graceful. Someone asked Ouyang if he was a noble. He was just a knight in his country. He had a large fiefdom and had his own subordinates.  There were not only men, but also young and beautiful women. Ouyang asked and laughed. Some came with their fathers because of their status. There were also a few who wanted to come to Da Song to see the opportunities.  Later, I learned that there were also murder cases. Ouyang saw that women were all mixed up, so he started to screen out men with criminal records. Among foreign merchant ships, most of them were seamen with criminal records.  Some of them even have titles. According to Ouyang's requirements, sailors who are purely seafarers can follow him to Tokyo. Others who have criminal records, or who Ouyang feels are not well-educated, will all rest on the spot. They are not allowed to leave the camp without permission. Violators will be killed.  The Ninth Eunuch was confused and asked what was going on. Ouyang explained: "Many of them are criminals who are going to be hanged and have escaped by pretending to be sailors.  In their country, people are also divided into three, six, and nine grades.  Although the status of merchants is not high, some of them also have titles.  But coolies have no place.  If the emperor sees everyone, doesn't that mean he has lost his identity?  " Ninth Eunuch nodded: " Just make the decision.  "  Two days later, Liu Qi arrived with five thousand forbidden troops and escorted a group of people on the road. This was Ouyang's request. We should not just let people see the prosperity and hospitality of the Song Dynasty, but also let them know that the Song Dynasty had an iron army.  Passing by, the common people had never seen so many strange-looking people, and they all gathered around to watch. Liu Qi politely asked the soldiers to clear the road. A foreign businessman said: "Ouyang, your army is very kind.  " "Don't be deceived by appearances.  His name is Liu Qi.  If you heard about the misunderstanding between the Song of Constantinople and the Crusaders,I won¡¯t think so anymore.  Ouyang said: "The Song army is kind to the civilians inside, but they are extremely cruel to the outside world."  If you are interested, you can take a look at our front line.  Song Dynasty was at war with Liao Dynasty.  " From the moment the businessman saw the cold-eyed soldiers around him, he knew that Ouyang was not talking nonsense. These people's muscles were very strong. Although they were not tall, their murderous intent was restrained and very dangerous. There were also a few soldiers with missing arms who were even more indifferent.  The businessman looked more and more chilled and asked: "Ouyang, how many such armies do you have?  " "We have two hundred thousand people.  1.3 million on the front line.  There are also 200,000 scattered in our borders and sea borders.  Ouyang said: "For example, you know the Hangzhou fleet."  We are a very friendly country, we are friendly all the way to the Mediterranean.  But there was an incident of pirate plunder.  We regret letting you see our cruel side.  "Ouyang only knew the day before yesterday that the pirate village was not a real pirate village, but a temporary parking place for pirates. It should be called a seaport town. There were 11,000 local residents, and the actual number of corpses was  Eleven thousand three hundred people. This was a misunderstanding due to language barriers and Ouyang's previous misunderstanding about the habits of European pirates, which led to a catastrophic massacre, but it was not glorious in history.  I didn¡¯t intend to clarify. ¡°Ouyang, you¡¯re too polite.  Those Nordic bandits roaming the Mediterranean and Arabian Sea should learn some lessons.  "The businessman obviously didn't have a good impression of the country to which the town belonged. As he was talking, Liu Qi followed up and asked: "Sir, when will you tell the emperor that we should go back to the Northwest Road and suffocate in Tokyo.  " "This is not my decision.  Ouyang said: "According to the rules, the deployment should be at least five years."  " "Five years," Liu Qi shouted: "Brothers, take out the knife and show it to Mr. Ou. It's all rusty.  " "Swipe" the neatly drawn swords. "Put it away, dazzling.  Ouyang nodded: "Can't you help me find out for you?"  Actually, don't be impatient.  The current situation is to stabilize Dinan.  When the time comes, we have to deal with the Khitans and Jurchens, and we have to expel Emperor Tian Zuo to Tokyo. Are you still afraid that the emperor will forget that you are so capable of fighting?  General Han also said that offensive battles are actually not suitable for you.  Just think of it as repairing the army.  " Seeing Ouyang say this, Liu Qi shouted: "Put it away" and put all the 'brushes' into the sheaths. The orders are strict and uniform. When Ouyang saw the merchant's face, he said calmly: "I misunderstood, they didn't mean anything else.  Instead, they told me that they were not willing to protect the emperor and would rather go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. They said that they had not killed anyone for a long time and their knives were rusty.  " "Oh" the businessman wiped his sweat. This guy returned to China after traveling in the Song Dynasty for a year and wrote Pineapple Song Travels. He said in the book that the people of the Song Dynasty were very kind, hospitable and polite. But the army of the Song Dynasty was very barbaric.  They are always eager to fight against foreign enemies and take it as an honor to die on the battlefield. God bless, fortunately, Song Dynasty is not dominated by these reckless generals. They have very strict discipline and advanced weapons. It can be seen from their eyes that they are a very strong force.  Terrible army. There are nearly two million such troops in the Song Dynasty. Although this number is terrible, considering that they have a population of 55 million, this young general once defeated the Cross in Constantinople.  The army killed four thousand Crusaders, but his army did not suffer any losses. It seems a miracle to us, but it is inevitable to them.
