of twenty-four Satsuma upheaval
When Shaburo returned to Penghu College, he found that he had no choice but to do anything about the religious policies here. Li Yanzhi did not prohibit Catholicism, but he just did not support it, discourage it, and did not promote it. Although some people still went to the small church in Penghu College to listen to Shaburo's preaching, most of them wanted to believe it. That was probably not a good product and did not respond.
Zaberi taught at Penghu College for half a month. Chen Yuting came to chat with him whenever he had time. At first, he discussed some knowledge of astronomy and physics, but later he often talked about faith. Zaberi encouraged him to break through the cage of the system to help preach, but Chen Yuting always shook his head and said, "I have to wait until the third son comes back."
Shabulu thought to himself: "Everyone here is called Li Xiaolian to control it! If he doesn't pass this level, it will be useless to stay here for a century!" So he asked Chen Yuting to arrange for himself to find Li Yanzhi.
Chen Yuting was very embarrassed and said, "That's not going to be possible. The third young master went to the capital. Now the imperial court banned the sea and foreigners cannot enter the inland. Maybe they can still move in Fujian, but the capital is incredible. If you are a Japanese, I might be able to dress you up, but the priest is really different from us and you can't go."
Zabreu stayed for several days. Seeing that the matter had not progressed, he wanted to leave. He wanted to go back to Woya or Manragha first. But on this day, he heard a Japanese man talk about the situation in Japan at the port. He heard that someone was already religious and was very interested, so he wanted to go to Japan. Chen Yuting rushed over and couldn't help but give him some silver and send him on the boat. Hillary wanted to follow him, but Zabreu advised her to stay and said, "You stay here. When educating the students here, remember to cultivate their fear of God, which will be very helpful to our missionary cause in the future."
In this way, Zaburo took the last monsoon blowing towards Japan and arrived at Kagoshima.
After more than a year of development, Kagoshima, a free port, has now become a little large. The Tangke invaded the east and the chaos in Kyushu seems to have become a distant memory. Most merchants in the East China Sea have strongholds here, and ronin from Western Japan have also rushed here to find jobs.
After Zabby Lau arrived in Kagoshima, he gained a foothold with the help of several great merchants of Folangji. What made Zabby Lau happy was that he was not forbidden to preach here, but another phenomenon surprised him: although a large number of ronin gathered here in Western Japan, more than half of the entire Kagoshima Port still had Chinese population! So when he preached, he had to find a translation that was proficient in Chinese and Japanese dialect at the same time!
"Why does Japan also speak Chinese?" Zabby asked his translator privately, and then he found out that there are a large number of Chinese people in Kagoshima!
"It's all caused by droughts in the past two years!" The translator told Zabbello: "Many Chinese people had no food there and ran here."
This "many" is actually not large compared to the disaster-stricken population along the southeastern coast of China. It is about tens of thousands. Of them, 20,000 people are either blown away by the wind, drowned in death, or died of illness on the ship, or are not adapted to the environment after coming to Japan, but most of the people who can stay are strong people, with the number of them between about 30,000 and 50,000.
China's population inflow into neighboring countries has been happening since ancient times. There are two main reasons why so many people were flowing into one last year. One is that the development of maritime trade has greatly improved the transportation capacity between China and Japan. But more importantly, there are people in Japan who are taking the initiative to settle the people. The first batch of disaster victims were properly resettled to Nanzhili through different channels. After the Zhejiang area, more disaster victims came in a steady stream!
However, the major schemes hidden behind these two reasons and the significant impact that this matter is about to have, are not something that Zappu can know at this time. Zappu just knew that the one who took the initiative to resettle these refugees was a Japanese prince named Katsuhisa Shimazu.
"A person with such a big mind and even able to tolerate the people on the other side of the sea must be a hero!" Zabby thought. Although he had baptized thousands of indigenous people in India, his missionary ideas were actually more inclined to conquer the upper class first and then popularize the lower class, so after arriving in Satsuma, he wanted to meet the Japanese prince named Shimazu Katsuhiro first.
Zabbell asked the Florian merchant to introduce him. It was very smooth that he soon had contact with the Shimazu family, but what surprised him was: the one who received him turned out to be a monk!
On this day, under the guidance of the guide, Zabulu hiked out of Kagoshima Port, but did not go directly to Kagoshima Castle, but came to a new manor two miles southwest of Kagoshima Castle.
Zabbello discovered that the manor was very new and many buildings were just piled up. With his meticulous insight, he speculated that the workers in this manor should be Chinese.
"This is the Huayuan in Samo. It turns out that this place is just a wasteland. It was Master Xuanmie who recruited Tang Guests, which gave rise to the weather today." The guide told Shabbat that there are four Huayuans like this near Samo, namely Guohuayuan, Southwest Huayuan, Sadong Huayuan and Shangu Huayuan. "This is the Huayuan."
These four gardens surround Kagoshima Kiyomizu Castle, four gardens and one city, forming all the territory of Katsuhisa Shimazu. Each garden stands in the form of a village, and fields are opened up on the periphery. If there are robbers or wars, they will retreat to the city to defend. The population of each garden is about 800 to 3,000, and one of every five people is trained to become a militia. In addition, a large number of Tangkes were also placed inside Kagoshima Kiyomizu Castle. In addition, there were more than 1,000 Tangkes in Kagoshima Territory, and all were closely organized, of which 1,800 became professional soldiers.
Before a large number of Chinese immigrants arrived, there were only 500 people in Kagoshima Kiyomizu Castle, and not all of these 500 people were Japanese. Nearly half of them were fishermen and pirates recruited by Katsura Shimazu Katsura in Ryukyu and Fujian Sea. After the large number of Tangkes moved in, Katsura's territory, both in terms of population composition and mainstream soldiers, had become the main Chinese!
The other princes of Mikushu were still very negative about the influx of the disaster-fighting Tanggu as before, and even condemned the excessive Huahua in Shimazu Katsuhisa's territory. The organization of Mikushu Daming had long been disbanded by Li Yanzhi, and they were extremely distrustful of each other. The liver and karma had already declined. Ito Yoshiyuki and Otoyo Yoshiki were not the leader of talent. I and Tian within Satsuma were even restrained by the three families by Poshan with the technique of traversing and cross-bordering, and they did not react in time! When the four Huayuans were established and two thousand Chinese soldiers were organized, they realized that the situation was serious! But it was already difficult to suppress Shimazu Katsuhisa at this time.
The names of the southern Kyushu were rich in the vassal states and strong soldiers because of the Tang gui, and they even imitated them. They set up Huayuan to recruit Chinese soldiers. However, when the princes of the Kyushu introduced the Tang gui, they could not know the needs, habits and advantages of the Chinese people like Poshan, and they had their own concerns. They must not establish a civil system and combat system with Tang gui as the main body like Poshan. Therefore, most of the Chinese people could not be treated fairly in other princes, and they did not show much combat effectiveness when recruited as Poshan. Most of them fled to Shimazu's family after they settled down.
It can be said that the princes of Jiuzhou imitated the Chinese military system of Poshan Huayuan and the only way to achieve their form but not their spirit. The only role it played was to fuel the trend of recruiting the Chinese people, making the Southern Jiuzhou a piece of iron-absorbing stone that attracted the victims of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to cross the east!
The four major gardens are closest to Kagoshima Kiyomizu Castle. The garden has 500 troops, which is a corner with Kiyomizu Castle. It is the right atrium of the Shimazu family. However, the houses in the garden are very simple. When Hyuga Sozhan planned these four gardens, he required the simplest materials to allow newbies to quickly invest in the simple design of construction fortifications. Therefore, the entire garden is lined up horizontally and vertically at a glance, and the rules are a bit monotonous and lacking in beauty! But if this is not the case, how can these gardens be quickly established in a short time?
In comparison, Zabby Lau thinks that the buildings in Penghu are more particular. Although they are also simple buildings, they are more thoughtful in terms of parallelism and details between the eaves of the houses and windows, which is quite impressive. This is also the embodiment of the different orientations of Poshan and Chen Yuting when starting a career.
However, like Chen Yuting, Poshan is now concentrated on farming - food is the most important thing for them! This is the foundation of their common destiny! Therefore, the place where Poshan receives Shaburo is neither the Japanese-style city tower nor the elegant pavilions, but on a sweet potato field.
When he saw Zabber, Poshan patted the soil on his hand, clasped his hands and said with a smile: "The guest is here, and he will be welcomed by mistake. Forgive him for his sins."
"This person is not simple!" When Shabulu thought to see this young monk at first sight.
The two were about to talk, but suddenly a thick smoke rose up to the sky more than ten miles northwest! Around the mountain were several militiamen who were working as a rotating worker. They were wearing linen clothes, covered with mud on their barefoots, but weapons were placed at their feet. When they saw the thick smoke, they immediately put down the farm work at hand, picked up the weapons, and shouted: "The enemy attacked!"
Poshan smiled and looked back at Xin Na Zhongmiao who was beside him and said, "If they had come half a year ago, how could we have the opportunity to build these four Huayuans? They were hesitant at that time and dared not take action. Now they have just arrived, but it is too late!"
At this time, hundreds of militia had already put on their shoes and stood in a queue waiting for orders. Xin Na Zhongmiao was about to go to the expedition and Poshan said, "I'll go too!" He said to a monkey-like farmer: "Hideyoshi, you entertain the priest to the pavilion for tea, and I will come back if I break the enemy."
He ran with Xin Na Zhongmiao in the direction of the smoke rising.
More than half an hour later, the sound of killing came faintly from the northwest direction. After a stick of incense, it disappeared. After another half an hour, Poshan brought more than a hundred people back and said with a smile: "Tian Xun's relative finally couldn't sit still, and actually ran to attack Qingshui City by himself!"
The farmers who were still staying in the fields asked about their victory or defeat, but they were mostly in the Wu Yue accent.
Poshan smiled and said, "They have already defeated them under the city. Lord Zhongmiao is chasing the dead and chasing the north. Everyone ignores them and continue to work! The soldiers fought bravely to ensure that everyone can concentrate on farming. Everyone must plant the land well, so that the blood poured by the soldiers on the battlefield will be less than in vain!"
The farmers responded in unison and said, "We will definitely not let the soldiers down, and we will not let the wizard down!"
Poshan then came to the pavilion, smiled and apologized to Shabuliu, and said, "For these mundane things, I will neglect the distinguished guests. I hope the priest will not be surprised."
