Wan Li 48, A.D. 1620. On September 16 of that year, a merchant ship called the Mayflower, carrying 102 passengers, sailed across the Atlantic Ocean from Plymouth, England, to the distant unknown New World, North America.
At this moment, Second Elder Brother Zhu was facing the first crisis of his new life.
Yesterday, this body and a group of clan disciples were unwilling to hand over the Mashi area outside of the Daizhou Continent and would fight with the disciples of the border army officers. This was the first time the second son of Liu Shiqing from the secret service of the Ming Dynasty of the Prefecture City came here and didn't understand the rules.
This outer city secret service of the Ming Dynasty main banner, Jian Dianbiao, was one of Liu Shiqing's subordinates, what was he doing here?
Second Elder Brother Zhu couldn't understand for a moment. Could he have hurt him, yet the other party sent someone to compensate him?
”Please wait in the courtyard for me to change.”
Zhu Yisu was the lowest ranked State Dedicating Lieutenant, but he also had his official uniform. He was dressed in a loyal robe. He was wearing a loyal robe and a loyal crown.
From Second Elder Brother Zhu's point of view, this set of clothes was not much different from the Ming Dynasty's military and civil service uniforms in TV dramas. Second Elder Brother Zhu's point of view was that this set of clothes was not much different from the Ming Dynasty's military and civil officials uniforms in movies.
As for the white piece of cloth with the beast embroidered on it, he said he did not recognize it and could only recognize the bird and the beast. The embroidery of the animal on top of the bamboo stick was somewhat cute, cute to the point of being abstract. In any case, he was unable to recognize the difference between a bullfight and a flying fish.
Zhu Yisu, who was enduring the hunger and hallucination in his stomach, looked at Zhu Yisu who came out of the inner room wearing a dark blue official uniform with a tiger embroidered in front of him and his eyes lit up.
His father had a good appearance, and although he was a little thin, he was very thin. With long eyebrows, phoenix eyes and a clear beard, one could tell with a single glance that he was a scholar who had read a lot.
Taizu Zhu 88 looks really unflattering, Second Elder Brother Zhu in his previous life was fortunate enough to see a junior high school history textbook. The face of Zhu 88 was like a crescent moon, giving him a great shock and a deep impression.
”Father's demeanor is like that of an immortal. That tiger and father are in conflict. If it were the White Crane, it would be even more of a contrast in Father's character.”
Second Elder Brother Zhu flattered him and he was elated. I'm so handsome, I'm sure my son isn't far off from it. In his previous life, he was clearly a person who looked like Zhou Zheng in any way. He did not want to look too much like Taizu in this life.
”White Crane?”
Zhu Yisu was surprised for a moment, he shook his head and chuckled: ”My son is wrong, I am not a tiger but a tiger. The Military Officer was ranked 67 with the ability to use the Tiger Tattooed Mushroom, which could only be used by a Level 34 Military Officer. As for the White Crane, it can only be used by those of the first rank of the Civil Service. ”
There was still so much to pay attention to? Second Elder Brother Zhu nodded and remembered. He asked curiously, ”Father, why is it that Erlang heard that Biao was stronger than Tiger, but was placed behind Tiger?”
”A beastie, a lynx, or a Cloud Lion and Tiger Beast. ”Why does my son say so?”
”I heard that Mr. Book said that there must be a one in a tiger's three books, and that the rarer the goods, the more expensive it will be.”
Zhu Yisu smiled, stroked his long sleeve and said, ”Perhaps it makes sense, but my son has to remember. We shall say whatever the rules of the imperial court are. ”
Inside the courtyard, secret service of the Ming Dynasty General Flag Jian Dianbiao was dressed in a red mandarin duck war coat, with copper nails and blue sleeveless sleeves facing the other side. She wore an eight-piece helmet with a red sun and a blue helmet. She held her sword at her waist.
No matter how they were described, they could not change the other nature of secret service of the Ming Dynasty. They were the personal army of the Son of Heaven, and their first job was to show off their abilities. Naturally, their dressing and appearance far surpassed other Garrison Army's.
Jian Dianbiao's face was soft and fair, and his eyes were bright and full of spirit. In addition to his exquisite military uniform, he looked even more handsome.
Unlike the anxious and irritable secret service of the Ming Dynasty military officer and Xiao Qi who were standing outside the courtyard, Jian Dianbiao had a tranquil temperament, and he had the leisure to size up the entire courtyard. The extremely simple layout of the courtyard wasn't even comparable to that of some rich families that only had 2 or 3 entrances into the courtyard.
This was the end of the family line. Zhu Yisu was an Elementary Scholar, and was much better than those leisurely clansmen. However, that was Zhu Yisu's future. If an Elementary Scholar wanted to take the provincial graduate examination, they would have to undergo the provincial examinations. The number of provincial graduate that were admitted every three years was calculated based on the proportion of the population under their jurisdiction.
Shanxi's Shanxi merchants is extremely resourceful, and there are many disciples. The education he received was stronger than Zhu Yisu's, and he had more connections in the court. Adding Zhu Yisu's identity as a clan member, if he wanted to pass the provincial graduate examination, just one word would be difficult.
Speaking of which, Jian Dianbiao also admired Zhu Yisu. He was also a scholar. As a result of one's birth, it was not something that orthodox scholars would like, just like the descendants of the clan.
The top scholar came from secret service of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhang Juzheng, who was powerful in the early stages of the Ten Thousand Calendar, came from a military background. And the Garrison Army Officer had taken over the military's land. With a prosperous life, the disciples who had some background would be sent to study.
Not to mention that there were many other secret service of the Ming Dynasty officers who were able to receive a full salary for their work.
Zhu Yisu came out from the main house wearing a loyal and quiet crown suit. His temperament and hidden anger made Jian Dianbiao sigh inwardly.
