Naruto: Ming Dynasty people roaming the ninja world
Chapter 4 Night Talk
Chen Yufa then looked at everyone and said, "Since the war against the Japanese, I wonder how many prisoners you have captured, and how many prisoners have you seen? Since the Japanese invaded Korea, they have committed almost all kinds of evil, such as burning, killing, and looting, causing Korean rebels to rise up everywhere. The Japanese have done such things, how can they be kings at all? Even if they can really occupy all of Korea one day, there is no way they can defend it..."
Mr. Qingzhu sighed and interrupted, "That may not be the case. Look at the Joseon Dynasty. They have no integrity at all. The backbone is only Yi Sun-sin, but unfortunately he is dead. If there is no Ming Dynasty to rely on, I am afraid that the court officials would have already sold out their country to live in peace. Even if the righteous people in the society swarmed up, it would be too late to save the situation. Facing such a vicious country like Japan, the country will be destroyed sooner or later.
It is a pity that this is also the norm for the tribes and the court in the bitter and cold northern land. Born in bitter and cold conditions, the lower class people are tenacious and resilient, but once they get an easy and comfortable life, they become corrupt and degenerate to the point that it is incomprehensible. Perhaps they have had enough of the suffering and never want to go back to the past, so the powerful and wealthy are particularly greedy for the comfortable life they have today. This was true for the Liao, Jin, Mongols, and Yuan dynasties, as well as Korea.
Alas! The rich and powerful are always the ones who enjoy comfort and happiness, while the common people are always forced to suffer and sacrifice their lives. "
Chen Yufa was stunned and continued, "The Koreans have hated the Japanese for a long time, so how could they leave a few captives behind?
Our army also counts the number of heads as merit, and has fewer prisoners. Most of the prisoners in our hands are those who fell into the water in the final Battle of Noryang, and a small number of prisoners who were besieged and could not be evacuated. Although our army won a great victory in the Battle of Noryang, General Chen repeatedly ordered his soldiers to capture more prisoners, but only a few were captured. Later, the remnants were cleared out, and you may have participated in it. You also know that even if the Japanese were surrounded, most of them committed suicide or charged forward to seek death.
This is exactly what makes Japan so frightening and fierce. Their soldiers are like wild beasts. They mobilized an army of hundreds of thousands, but we only captured a few thousand prisoners. Most of them were low-level soldiers who could not read or understand meteorology and hydrology. There was no point in keeping them."
"In the end, there were only a few hundred warriors available, and most of them refused to cooperate. In the end, only a dozen people could be brought to the ship to carry out the mission. These dozen people had to be distributed to each ship in batches. It was really limited by the reality!"
Mo Congfeng said: "As Brother Chen said, we really have no choice but to do this. We can only try our best to maintain it. Seeing that the current situation is still good, I saw that Sanchuan Xiaolin and the other two were calm tonight. Especially Xiaolin is young, and I think he should not be cunning. Brother Chen is now teaching him some kung fu, maybe he can be controlled. With him in hand, Brother Chen may not have to worry.
If there is really no other way, we can use Lu Biaotou Wuyouzi's method. Since there are two of them, perhaps we can use the method of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys."
Chen Yufa laughed bitterly and said, "Lu Biaotou Wuyouzi's method is totally useless, because there is only one useful Japanese on our ship."
Mo Congfeng was surprised and said, "Could it be that Xiaolin is born a commoner and doesn't know much, so he can't be used as a guide? I think he looks like a sea dweller, he can't be so useless."
Chen Yufa looked around and saw that there was no one around. He smiled and said, "I've known Brother Mo for more than half a year, but this is the first time I've seen Brother Mo with this expression. Brother Mo is only twenty-five or twenty-six. Where did he learn to be so calm and composed? Today, something unexpected happened to Brother Mo. Did Taoist Yun Qingzi and Mr. Qingzhu see anything?"
Yun Qingzi hesitated and said, "I am a little confused. Xiaolin was born a commoner, and Mifune was a noble. How come Xiaolin is taller and stronger than Mifune?"
Mo Congfeng suddenly realized what was going on. He remembered the dietary preferences of Mifune and Kobayashi. "Could it be that Kobayashi is not..."
Chen Yufa sighed and said, "Yes, Xiao Lin is actually a Han Chinese. He is a brother I met in Quanzhou, Fujian in my early years. He and I are both personal guards of General Chen and my subordinate. His real name is Lin Hai. He is smart and alert and has carried out many missions with me." As he spoke, he glanced at Mo Congfeng, and Mo Congfeng immediately knew what mission he was talking about.
"When Xiaolin's father was young, his parents were killed by Japanese pirates during the Jiajing period. Later, he joined the army to fight against the Japanese pirates. After the Japanese invasion was quelled, he even voluntarily became a military household and joined the coastal defense garrison. He accumulated merits and became a hundred households in the garrison. His family background was clean and reliable. Xiaolin had lived by the sea since he was a child, and he looked a bit like an islander.
There is only one Japanese warrior on our ship, Mifune. Two months ago, Xiaolin disguised himself as a Japanese and was imprisoned in the same barracks with Mifune. He got along well with Mifune. We want to use Lin Hai to arouse the kinship and affection between Mifune and Lin Hai. This is the key to our plan to ensure that Mifune is obedient. "
"But what Taoist Yun Qingzi said is also a flaw. The Japanese are short, and we really can't do anything about it. We can only do our best and leave the rest to fate."
Mo Congfeng was shocked when he heard this. He looked at the expressions of Yun Qingzi and Mr. Qingzhu and felt that they looked calm and composed. He suddenly felt that he had little experience and was not strong enough in character.
Mr. Qingzhu said calmly, "People are not plants or trees, so who can be heartless? This is a very good plan, Chief Chen. First isolate Sanchuan so that he can't make plans with others, and then add Xiaolin, who is his nephew's age, to give him something to put his uneasy emotions on and something to worry about. This is really a brilliant plan. I wonder who came up with this plan?"
Chen Yufa's face flushed. "It was the idea of a counselor in the General's Mansion. It's not brilliant, it's just a conspiracy. It takes advantage of the kindness in others and goes to such lengths. It's really against the harmony of nature."
“I have always been at odds with so-called strategists, not because their schemes are so vicious, nor because they have caused so much harm, but because they often take advantage of the kindness, integrity, and courage in people’s hearts, and they often deceive gentlemen with their own methods, and they often succeed.
I once had a sworn brother from a different tribe. For the sake of the country, I took advantage of his integrity and kindness and obtained a lot of intelligence. This intelligence may have caused considerable harm to his tribe. I often feel guilty about this and I am afraid I will never be able to see this brother again in this life. "
After listening to this, Mo Congfeng was silent for a long time. Knowing that Chen Yufa was talking about his sworn brother from the Miao tribe, he felt deeply moved. At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the fire on the bow swayed slightly. Mo Congfeng felt that Mr. Qingzhu's face under the firelight also became brighter and darker.
Mr. Qingzhu broke the silence and began to guide Mo Congfeng in learning the knowledge of stargazing and positioning.
Although Mr. Qingzhu is the successor of the Guo Lao Xing Sect, he did not try to promote the Guo Lao Xing Sect's set of algorithms to Mo Congfeng right away. Instead, he first carefully analyzed the basic thinking methods and basic calculation models of "Huangji Jingshi" that Mo Congfeng had learned, which made Mo Congfeng suddenly feel enlightened.
Then he introduced some strange stars to Mo Congfeng. Although these strange stars are not among the traditional Southern Dipper, Northern Dipper, Five Stars and Seven Luminaries, and Twenty-Eight Mansions, and people nowadays cannot understand the movement rules of these strange stars, but these strange stars have certain application experience in special circumstances, and even some application formulas were given. Even Yun Qingzi, who was listening nearby, deeply felt the breadth and complexity of Mr. Qingzhu's knowledge.
Finally, he began to talk about the core algorithm of the Guolao Star Sect, the peculiar laws of the direct and retrograde motion of the five stars, the ingenuity of the ancients' creation of five imaginary stars out of thin air to simulate and represent the retrograde motion of the five stars, and the mystery of the Seven Planets and Four Remainders. He could not help but get excited and gradually began to spit and dance. He was no longer like an ordinary old man, but more like a child sharing his treasures with others.
After listening to this, Yun Qingzi also felt that Xuxing's idea was very clever, and the Qi Zheng Si Yi algorithm model was extremely rigorous and perfect. It was completely different from Meihua and Liuren, where no matter how much calculations were made, there was always a sense of imperfection in the end. He thought that it was worthy of being the knowledge passed down by Zhang Guolao, one of the legendary Eight Immortals.
Yun Qingzi saw from Mo Congfeng's eyes that Mo Congfeng was very convinced by the Seven Politics and Four Residues of the Guo Lao Xing Sect. If it were not for the face of the Hengshan Sword Sect, he would almost want to worship Mr. Qingzhu as his master on the spot and become a disciple of the Guo Lao Xing Sect.
Yun Qingzi secretly thought that if he had practiced for a shorter time like Mo Congfeng, he would also be as convinced by the Guo Lao Xing Sect's methods as Mo Congfeng.
He has been immersed in Taoism for many years and knows deeply that a sense of imperfection is the real driving force and ladder to the Tao. The problem with Guo Lao Xing Zong lies in this, the algorithm model is too perfect, but no matter how perfect the algorithm or how reasonable the model is, it will not be the truth. After studying the Seven Stars and Four Residues for a long time, people often forget this point and go astray without knowing it, because this unusual sense of rationality and perfection will hinder learners from doubting and scholars from thinking.
Deep learners of Plum Blossom and Liu Ren will not have such troubles, which is also the brilliance of these two disciplines. The wisdom of Guo Lao Xing Zong lies in Zhang Guo Lao, one of the Eight Immortals, while the wisdom of Plum Blossom and Liu Ren is still in the hands of latecomers.
Perhaps the founder of plum blossom and Liuren also knew this, and knew that human power is sometimes limited, and the starry sky and the myriad phenomena in the heavens can never be accurately measured by human power, and we can only try our best to get close. When Yun Qingzi thought of this, he suddenly realized what Tao is. Tao may be the flaw that can never be accurately measured or calculated.
Yun Qingzi came back to his senses and looked at Mo Congfeng's expression. He thought that he must find an opportunity to remind him, so that he would not follow Mr. Qingzhu and go astray.
Mr. Qingzhu looked at Mo Congfeng, then at Yun Qingzi, and thought to himself, "Although Mo Congfeng is also very smart, compared with Yun Qingzi, he still lacks some affinity. He is not like Yun Qingzi who has a superior nature. What a pity!"
Mo Congfeng realized his misconduct from the look in Mr. Qingzhu's eyes, which looked at him and then at Yun Qingzi, and he couldn't help but calm himself down.
Chen Yufa noticed that the atmosphere was a little awkward, and said with a smile: "It is said that the Seven Stars and Four Remainders can predict the fortune of a person's fate. I wonder what you think of our trip?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Qingzhu stroked his beard and smiled, "Heaven and earth respond to man. As the saying goes, man follows the earth, and the earth follows heaven. The Seven Political and Four Remainders of our school are mysterious and unfathomable. The numbers of the stars are combined with the numbers of man, so we can know whether it is smooth or rough. If it is smooth, it is yang, and if it is rough, it is yin. The Seven Luminaries respond to it, and the numbers are combined with the Book of Changes, so we can know good and bad fortune. The mystery is hard to describe."
He added: "Recently, many of the people who have come to see me are blessed with great fortune. Brother Mo, Chief Chen, and today's Wuyouzi are all people who will live to a ripe old age. They will definitely not die in external disasters. Even if there are some setbacks on this journey, I will definitely be worry-free."
After hearing this, Chen Yufa couldn't help but look at Yun Qingzi, thinking that among the four people talking in front of him, old man Qingzhu had omitted Yun Qingzi. What did he mean? Did he mean that Yun Qingzi would have a disaster in the future and would not live to see his end?
Mr. Qingzhu saw what Chen Yufa meant and laughed, "Daoist Yun Qingzi is blessed with great fortune and superior qualities, which are rare in the world. He may live forever, but it is beyond the reach of my mortal eyes to see and wear."
Chen Yufa couldn't help but smile after hearing this, and felt more confident and hopeful about this trip.
After hearing this, Yun Qingzi did not take Mr. Qingzhu's words seriously. What was the meaning of eternal life? Could he learn from Lu Zu and achieve enlightenment? He had studied Taoism for many years and had seen the endings of his uncles, aunts and ancestors. He had long given up the desire for immortality. Human power is sometimes limited. These six words really were the final explanation for many things. Thinking of this, Yun Qingzi couldn't help but let out a long breath.
Mo Congfeng thought, what is the difference between living to the end of one's life and not living to the end of one's life, when one is in the martial arts world, one cannot decide for oneself, how many people can really live to the end of their life as described in The Theory of Ancient Innocence. At this time, when he saw Mr. Qingzhu mention Wuyouzi, he could not help but think of what happened in the evening, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Qingzhu, Wuyouzi offended me a lot today, please forgive me. He is not a bad person by nature, but he is a little young and spoiled by his teachers, so he doesn't know the seriousness of the matter.
His master loved him very much and named him Wuyouzi, hoping that he could live a carefree life. But in this chaotic world, who can be truly worry-free? I once met his master on the battlefield. He was a good person and saved my life. Unfortunately, he was getting older and couldn't learn Japanese in a short time, otherwise he would be here this time."
Yun Qingzi stroked his beard and laughed, "It's okay. I just think Wuyouzi is cute, so I won't have any grudges against him. After this long journey alone, he will definitely grow up, and maybe he will achieve a lot in the future."
