101 ship, the large conference room is brightly lit.

Zhao Gongzi propped his elbows on his knees, looked down at Omura Junzhong who was kneeling at his feet, and said, "So the Buddha Lang Jiren gave you the biggest cake." Looks like you're rich? ”

"Yes, yes, I made some money in the Nanban trade." Omura Junzhong hurriedly wiped his sweat with his sleeve and said, "But I just built the city, and I hollowed out all my family foundations." ”

"I want to bluff again!" Zhao Hao's face sank and said, "The Three Cities City was built by you five years ago!" In the past five years, you have made a lot of money! ”

Omura Junzhong's old face turned pale, and he secretly scolded Goto Guiming in his heart for being a harmful spirit, so he had to say with a bitter face: "How dare you coax your son again?" The villain is not talking about the Three Cities City. It was three years ago that Takaaki Goto built Komine Castle on Mt. Komine in Higashibiki-gun and threatened the territory of my Omura family. As a last resort, the villain had no choice but to build a song and dance city in Kiba and a southern castle in Baizu to prevent countermeasures. Build three cities in a row in five years, and I can't bear it, it's really unbearable. ”

"Are you crying to me?" Zhao Gongzi picked his nails and blew lightly: "Your cousin is a lot more angry......

'Here we go again...... Omura Junzhong scolded secretly, so he had to grit his teeth and say, "One hundred thousand taels!" This is all the savings of the Omura family, and they are willing to pay filial piety to their son! ”

"Two hundred thousand taels." Zhao Hao stretched out two fingers and said, "It costs a lot of money to make such a large fleet out once." ”

"This ......" Omura Junzhong felt a pain in his flesh. In fact, he cried poorly, but it was not complete nonsense. During the Warring States Period, the weak ate the strong, how much strength can you eat. He asked the Otomo family and the Ryuzoji family to be fat sheep and scavenging hair, and he often had to give his retainers wealth so that they would not let his cousin pull him over.

For example, the Song and Dance City and the South Wind City are both in the fiefdoms of the Omura clan's retainers, and it is said that he should not pay for it. But if he doesn't build a city, people will be thrown into the arms of the young master, in vain?

Moreover, the Nanban trade is not a monopoly of his family, and it is not as bloody as others imagined. Under his hand, it is more than 300,000 taels. This time, he was asked to take out most of it, and he was really going to vomit blood.

But he is very sober-minded, the situation is stronger than others, and instead of pushing and blocking the other party, he will inevitably bleed in the end. It's better to be happy and ask for a guarantee to be serious.

"Since the son speaks, the villain must make up the money by smashing the pot and selling iron." Omura Juntada seemed to have made a great determination and said, "Just begging Childe to break off relations with the Goto family?" ”

"Well, you have to be faithful and righteous to be a man." Zhao Hao said with a look of embarrassment: "Obviously, the Goto family came first, and now you want to be a junior in the upper position, you have to add money." ”

"Do you have to add more?" Omura Junzhong is sweating in his head, I don't know when this Nanban trade will be restored, if he takes out all his family, how can he deal with a hand that only needs money? Minute tree falls and scatters!

"Childe spares his life, there is really not a drop left." Juntada Omura's snot came down again.

"Then let's assume we didn't say anything." Zhao Hao looked indifferent.

"The villain is willing to dedicate Nagasaki to Childe!" Juntada Omura hurriedly said loudly: "Within the three-mile range of Nagasaki Port, oh no, the whole of Nagasaki belongs to Childe!" ”

A look of greed flashed in Zhao Gongzi's eyes, and then disappeared again: "What do I want your land for?" ”

"Doesn't Childe need a port for trade?" Omura Junzhong looked at Zhao Hao in surprise.

"No, I don't." Zhao Hao shook his head categorically and said, "I just need you to cut off all contacts with the Franc Machine and reopen Yokoseura." ”

After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "Of course, Yokoseura can only berth the ships of the Tamna Chamber of Commerce, and the rest of the foreign ships are not allowed to dock. ”

Not to open a port and build a city on the three islands of Japan, so that Japan can enter as soon as possible and always maintain a state of 'closed country' is the criterion set by Zhao Gongzi early on.

Not wanting to disperse manpower is secondary. The key is that building a city here for colonization is equivalent to opening a window to Japan, and all the new changes of the Jiangnan Group will be transmitted to Japan more or less through this city.

The Japanese are as good at learning as the Chinese, and it would be too much to lose if they were allowed to embark on the Meiji Restoration ahead of schedule for their own reasons.

Japan is the best Japan when it is closed off from the rest of the world – Japan is an island country, but now it is completely a mainland country, and this is very good, and it should be maintained. So don't bother with it. It would be nice to just use warships to help them not go to sea.

Since there were no territorial claims, there was no need to choose the remote city of Nagasaki as a treaty port.

Nagasaki is indeed a good port, but Zhao Gongzi just didn't want the Portuguese to get it. As for the Tamna Chamber of Commerce, he felt that it would be more appropriate to trade at the shore in Yokoseura.

Yokoseura is located in the middle of Sasebo Bay. With just the words 'Sasebo', the superiority and importance of this location need not be repeated. Nagasaki is also very good, but both the location and port conditions are much worse than Sasebo Bay.

In fact, as a treaty port, the further north you go, the better, because Honshu Island, where 80% of the population lives, is in the north.

If nothing else, less than two years after the Portuguese opened trade in Hirado Port, the Matsuura family's strength swelled rapidly, making Matsuura Takanobu the mayor of Hizen Prefecture. Within a year of the opening of the port, Yokoseura formed a prosperous town with a population of more than 10,000.

How many years has it been since the opening of Futianpu? It was only a village of more than 1,000 people. The difference in location is so obvious.

The Portuguese, of course, knew this, and they chose Hiradoura at first, but later changed it to Yokoseura. It's all about being as far north as possible, closer to the state. It was in Hirado and Yokoseura that they could no longer stay, so they had no choice but to choose the relatively remote Nagasaki as a base to preach and do business in peace.

Zhao Gongzi is different from the Portuguese, the red-haired ghost is too weak in the Far East to send too many troops to Japan, so he can only be low-key and slowly plot.

Daming is a strip of water with Japan, and Zhao Gongzi can easily send the power of Jiangnan over. He set up the Tamna garrison area, saying that it was to protect the shipping of grain. But the base camp is built in the easternmost part of Tamna Island, and four of the five marine police stations are all laid out around Japan.

Therefore, Zhao Gongzi is not afraid to make things bigger, but wants to make a big deal, so naturally he will choose Sasebo Bay, the gateway to western Japan, as a treaty port, rather than elsewhere.

~~

"Yes, Yokoseura welcomes the ships of the Tamna Chamber of Commerce at any time, and no other foreign ships are allowed to dock."

Omura Junzhong pondered for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded with difficulty. It doesn't matter if he is a Ming merchant or a Li Dynasty merchant, as long as he is not a Hongmaoyi, there is no reason for the damn cousin to fan the flames. What's more, he actually wants to rebuild the prosperous Yokoseura!

After a pause, he smiled bitterly again: "But the villain has to remind the son, Nanban...... Oh, Franco-Robot isn't just doing business with my Omura. Regardless of Honshu, on the island of Kyushu alone, there are four Nanban trading ports of Hakata, Usuki, Hirado, and Tanegashima. In particular, the Hakata of the Mori family and the Usuki of the Otomo family trade much more than my small Omura family. ”

"Hmm." Zhao Gongzi nodded, not surprised.

The Nanban trade was profitable, and it also brought in iron cannons, armor, gunpowder, and other scarce military supplies. Especially after the Pure Sea King Seal disappeared and the trade system of the Nine Great Families collapsed, the daimyo and the Portuguese were even more unscrupulous to hook up with each other and trade directly.

According to the captives, in the past two years, the trade volume of the 'Macao-Ryukyu-Japan' route has increased tenfold. Otherwise, the Governor of Macao would not have sent his own flagship to the Japanese town.

"So, if you don't do business with the Franc machine, do you say it doesn't count?" Zhao Hao looked at Omura Junzhongdao.

"Of course not." Chunzhong shook his head into a rattle. "The villain can only manage the corner of the Hizen Country, the place of the West Pestle."

"So who has the final say?" Zhao Hao asked knowingly.

"Supposedly, it is His Excellency Otomo Sorin." Chun Zhong hurriedly replied: "He is a Kyushu probe, and the entire Kyushu is under his management." Just ......"

"Just what?" Zhao Hao asked.

"It's just that now the strongest Maori family in western Japan has made a comeback and fought fiercely with the Otomo family in Kitakyushu, and it's not certain who will kill the deer." Chun Zhong smiled bitterly: "If the Maori family wins, the Otomo family will inevitably fall into a period of underestimation, and the Ryuzoji Temple and the Shimazu family, who were not tamed in the first place, will definitely not listen to his orders." ”

"What if the Otomo family wins?" Zhao Hao asked rhetorically.

"If you can defeat the number one wise general in the Western Kingdom, then the power of the Otomo family will reach an unprecedented height, and naturally no one will dare to disobey Master Zonglin's order." Omura Junzhong sighed lightly, obviously not optimistic about the Otomo family.

It is natural that he is not optimistic about the Otomo family, because Otomo Sorin's opponent this time is Maori Yuan.

The super-first-class general, who started with an army of 150 people, had already unified Nishihonshu after eliminating the Ouchi family and the Niko family, and this time in order to unify western Japan, he mobilized elite troops and personally commanded the rear to invade Kyushu Island again.

Although the fighting dragged on for several months and reached a stalemate, everyone was more optimistic that the Maori would win.

Because that's Maori dollars.

"Then help the Otomo family win!" Zhao Gongzi stood up and brazenly declared: "What Maori Yuan is Kogoro, just kill them all!" ”

"Huh?" Juntada Omura opened his mouth in surprise, this time it was really not pretending. Although he didn't dare to underestimate the Ming fleet, could he go ashore with a thousand or two thousand? Is the Mori family's more than 50,000 elite soldiers in Kitakyushu so easy to deal with?

"Ahhhh Or pay 300,000 taels. Zhao Hao glared at him and said, "Why don't you hurry up and do it for me!" ”

"What does Childe mean by letting the villain go to see Master Zonglin?" Omura Junzhong hurriedly calmed down and asked, "Propose to him the conditions of the childe?" ”

"Yes, he'll say yes." Zhao Hao nodded confidently and said, "Get out, I'll give you five days." ”

"Hey." Omura had no choice but to agree to come down.

"And 200,000 taels of silver, send it to me within three days." Zhao Hao instructed again: "Otherwise, you will know the consequences." ”

"Hey, hey." Juntada Omura almost vomited blood, but it turned out that he was not spared.
