Chapter 392: Of course I'm in charge of the Nagasaki Hua Concession (the third update, ask for subscription)
The will of the Imperial Court!
In fact, everyone knew that Fang Yizhi did not have the will of the imperial court. But no one asked, not even the generals and retainers including Tokugawa Iemitsu, so they didn't care at all.
For Tokugawa, he needed the envoys of the Celestial Empire to help him "correct his name", as for the "small seal", the Buddha blessed, in the future, the De Fan may be the second Yan Domain, how can the Japanese who understand Sinology not know the result of high merit and a strong army?
Besides, how did the Tokugawa family win the world back then?
It's a godsend.
Why did Emperor Yongle crown Ashikaga Yoshimitsu as the king of Japan?
To put it bluntly, Yongle's throne came from the "Yasukuni disaster", and the Ashikaga Muromachi shogunate was also "usurped". In other words, both of them are in the wrong place.
Who knows the Central Plains best in this circle? The Japanese!
Don't say that he doesn't care that the identity of this envoy is not above board. Even if he came on behalf of the rebellious ministers and thieves, it wasn't necessarily a bad thing for the Tokugawa family.
In the future, if the prince of the country usurped the throne, he would reversely seize the throne. became the emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty, if it wasn't for "all the nations coming to the dynasty", it was a must. Whether the Tokugawa family wants the Ming Dynasty to "correct its name" is also necessary. The two families are completely taking what they need from each other.
The will of the imperial court?
Everyone is a "rebel and thief", who cares?
As for the Tang merchants and Tang people in Nagasaki, they are just ordinary people, no matter how this lord is, he is also a member of the army under the general, and the dignified court is a "life official", and the small people can fight with the officials, but now Zheng Mingkuan has brought this up.
In the face of doubts, Fang Yizhi looked at Zheng Mingkuan, and when the corners of his lips lifted lightly and looked like he was about to smile, he suddenly shouted angrily:
"Okay, you Zheng Mingkuan, you are just a slave under the Fujian General Soldier Zheng Zhilongmen, you dare to talk about the following crimes, you are in the territory of the Japanese Kingdom, questioning Fang's identity, what is your intention!"
"Huh?"
Zheng Mingkuan was a little confused.
"I ......"
"Boom!"
A knife flash flashed, and Zheng Mingkuan's head fell to the ground.
The people around were all suppressed, and the Japanese waiter outside the door opened his eyes in shock, and Fang Yizhi shouted:
"Zheng Mingkuan colluded with bandits in a vain attempt to resist arrest, and has been killed by this envoy. Where is Li Qianhu? ”
Li Zhengkun immediately ran over and reported with his fists hugged.
"The last general!"
Fang Yizhi said coldly.
"You immediately lead the troops to the Zheng family's ship, confiscate the Zheng family's ship, and if you disobey, you will be killed."
"The last general commands!" Li Zhengkun said.
"Hosokawa!"
Fang Yizhi said to Hosokawa who heard the sound again,
"Please also ask Hosokawa to report this matter, this matter is my Ming matter, and according to the treaty, we are all responsible."
This is the benefit of the treaty, Fang Yizhi dared to kill Zheng Mingkuan, not only because the treaty just signed allowed him to control the power of life and death of the Tang people in Japan, but more importantly, he knew that the Japanese feared the strong, he was an envoy, if he dared to question his identity if he was anything, he also had to explain, how could the Japanese be in awe of other envoys at that time?
"The villain understands that the affairs of the Tang people are all in charge of the envoy according to the contract."
When Hosokawa retreated, Fang Yizhi looked at Chen Chongyi, who was kneeling on the ground trembling, and sneered.
"Chen Chongyi, do you have anything to say?"
"Grass, grass people, nothing to say......"
Chen Chong said tremblingly.
In fact, he is different from Zheng Mingkuan, Zheng Mingkuan wants the Zheng family to continue to dominate the Nagasaki trade, I heard that the concession was established, and after the Ming envoy took control of the concession, in his opinion, the move of General Pingyu to get involved in Nagasaki trade is undoubtedly extremely unfavorable to the Zheng family, but he has no way to stop all this, after all, General Pingyu is the clan of the Ming Dynasty.
Even when the news of the general of Pingyu seizing the big man reached the head of the family, the head of the family was only stunned for a while, and then he was silent, although the head of the family was the general soldier of Fujian, but he was born as a pirate, and he was a general in terms of identity, and he couldn't compete with others in the Ming Dynasty, on the side of the Japanese...... The same cannot be argued, the Japanese value dignity and inferiority more.
Zheng Mingkuan, who was unwilling to be monopolized by the general in Nagasaki's trade, made a good calculation, first questioned and then negotiated, and finally sought an advantage in this concession, which could not only protect the interests of the Zheng family in Nagasaki, but also be more beneficial to him personally, after all, this errand would eventually fall to him Zheng Mingkuan. But his wishful thinking was wrong - not only did the general kill people at the slightest discord, but so did his subordinates join the army.
Zheng Mingkuan has a plan, he Chen Chongyi has no plans, although he has a close relationship with the Zheng family, it does not mean that he is willing to die for the Zheng family.
"Please, please spare your life, spare your life......"
Looking at Chen Chongyi, who was constantly begging for mercy, he had already killed Liwei Fang and had no intention of killing him again, and besides, the prince had other uses for these businessmen. Just casually reprimanded him, and then let him retreat.
After Chen Chongyi retreated in panic, Wang Yudong walked in, he was the accompanying internal guard of the internal security department, and he would be in charge of establishing an intelligence station in Nagasaki.
"Clean up the room."
He said only after the Japanese waiter outside the door had cleaned up the hall.
"This sword of the king is so fast!"
"I have to kill!"
"I know!"
Wang Yudong does know that sometimes people are killed, not because the person deserves to die, but because he has to die.
Just as the two were talking, a burst of gunfire could be heard faintly from the harbor.
"It seems that the people of the Zheng family still fought back."
"The sailors on the ship are all unruly, how can they be captured."
"If you make such a big move, it is inevitable that the Japanese will have some complaints."
Wang Yudong said worriedly.
"The Japanese fear the strong, the stronger I am, the more they are in awe, if we can't play the crumbs, we will be despised by them, not to mention ......"
pursed his lips, Fang Yizhi said again.
"The Zheng family takes advantage of the convenience of monopolizing the ocean to monopolize the raw silk trade with Japan, importing no less than two or three hundred thousand catties of raw silk every year, and the profit is not less than one million taels, the Zheng family is always full of ships, empty ships return, and all that is transported away is silver, and the Tang merchants in Nagasaki also do not like the Zheng family who monopolizes the silk goods, and now that the concession has been established, if the Zheng family is still allowed to monopolize the silk goods, who is the person in charge of the concession?"
After a pause, Fang Yizhi said.
"Therefore, no matter what, Zheng Mingkuan must die, and the Zheng family's ship must be confiscated."
Wang Yudong said.
"However, now that the prince is immigrating to Taiwan, if the Zheng family fights back, I am afraid that it will affect the great cause of the prince!"
"Even if we don't do it, Zheng Zhilong will be dissatisfied, he can endure it until now and not send anyone to Dalian, but he is not afraid of the prince, now that we are in Japan again, how can the Zheng family tolerate the prince cutting off his financial route, now, these Zheng family's ships, unpaid is not an opportunity!"
"What do you mean?"
Wang Yudong's eyebrows raised, and he immediately understood what Fang Yizhi meant, the things on these ships were worth millions of taels of silver!
"If the Zheng family wants to return the things on the ship, they must send someone to Dalian......"
While the two were talking, Nagasaki Sho Iwami Mamoru hurried over. As soon as they met, he shouted loudly.
"What do you mean by envoy? Why kill people for no reason in port? ”
"What do you mean?"
Fang Yizhi, who had been amiable for a few days, suddenly changed his face and sneered.
"According to the treaty just signed, the affairs of the Ming people are decided by the Ming envoys, what does it mean to follow now?"
In the face of his questioning, Iwami Mamoru suddenly became mute. After the treaty was signed, the Tokugawa shogun sent someone to tell him as soon as possible, and even the location of the Chinese concession was handled by him.
But at that time, he never thought that he would face the current situation.
"This, this ......"
Stammering, Iwami explained.
"Of course, Your Excellency will not care if you kill people in the concession, but your soldiers kill people on ships in the harbor. I couldn't help but ask. ”
"They are Ming people, and the ship is also Ming boat! Naturally, it's up to me to decide what happens on it. ”
Fang Yizhi's tone became cold.
"Does it mean that even the affairs of the Ming Dynasty should be interrogated together?"
That makes sense.
Iwami Mamoru who was blocked in his words finally just said helplessly.
"Those ships are the ships of the Zheng family, and even the general has to give them some face."
"Pursue, this is the Chinese Concession, even if the Zheng family arrives here, they must honestly abide by the rules here."
Then he laughed again.
"Don't worry, when I return to China, I will naturally negotiate with the Zheng family to deal with this matter, and you don't want to worry about the affairs of the Celestial Empire."
