vs 105 The origin of the conflict between Japan and the Netherlands

The meaning of the crossing force is very clear: since history has changed, the incident of the kidnapping of Nuiz by the Japanese Hamada Yabei will inevitably not happen again next year, which should have been staged in Dayuan.

Considering that under these circumstances, if the original contradiction had not been ignited, it was intolerable that the Dutch merchant house, which had been closed down in the history due to the kidnapping incident, would continue to open in Japan. So now, the traverser has to use the weight at hand to try to make up for this historical debt that is unfavorable to him, pull the list in advance, and completely kick the Dutch out of the players of trade with Japan.

......

Throughout the early colonial history of East Asia, in the trade dispute between Japan and the Netherlands, the level of hooliganism of the players on both sides was enough to be admired by those who came after. The difficulty is not here, the difficulty is that it is not easy to take hooliganism as the truth and believe in it.

First of all, the Dutch. The Dutch have the strength, especially in the first half of the 17th century, and deserve to be the world's largest distributor and the largest logistics provider. The strength of the Dutch Zheng Zhilong understands that even when Zheng Zhilong is at the peak of his life, the big man can buy enough raw silk from him every year to ship it to Japan for sale.

Isn't there a big victory in Luowan? In the previous few big and small battles, Zheng Zhilong has never suffered a loss, why did he cut the meat to the Dutch? In fact, Zheng Zhilong knows better than anyone else: if he leaves the coastal areas with complicated sea conditions, leaves the superior forces, and leaves those disposable fireships that cannot sail far, he will be hanged. To put it simply, there is more than enough to keep at home, and not enough to go out.

The colonists who used hot weapon projection as their tactical guiding ideology had already essentially overwhelmed the primitive cold-weapon indigenous armed forces, and this gap could not be made up by presetting a large array at home and winning a few battles.

Therefore, the Dutch occupy the majority of the people, which is the result of compromise after several bloody battles on land and sea, after Da Ming and Zheng Zhilong recognized each other's strength.

However, there is one Japanese who does not recognize this strength.

......

Yabei Hamada, the captain of the foreign trade ship under the great merchant Noto Jiro of Nagasaki, has another explanation for the strength.

At that time, if the Zhuyin ship sailed directly to Fujian, it would not be possible to buy raw silk, because Zheng Zhilong did not allow it. The Japanese market is Zheng Zhilong's basic market, Lao Zheng allowed the Dutch to sell silk, which was squeezed in by people with their strength, Japanese businessmen like Hamada Yabei, Lao Zheng didn't bring a clip on his eyelids.

So Hamada, a hooligan, thought of a "wonderful move": if Lao Tzu is not allowed to go to Fujian to buy silk, then Lao Tzu can play the banner of the Dutch, and even borrow the Dutchman's ship, and the Dutchman's plywood boat Lao Zheng does not dare to provoke......

So, Brother Hamada and the big guy behind him, Nagasaki Acting Official (Mayor) Sueji Heizou came to the big man together, and then made a very formal request to the red hair: Borrow your ship and flag envoy, it's not in vain, I'm the rent, and then I'll give you my own boat, now you should rest assured, right?

...... Yes, that's right, historically Hamada Yabei was so deluded and confident that he made such a comical request to the Dutch.

The weak chicken said to the wolf who was worried about raw silk every day: I have some raw silk stored on the tiger's territory, and now I will borrow your wolf skin to use it, and pull it back to give you some rent fee, which is probably what it means.

Can Dutch hooligans endure it? Of course not. The Dutch, who had intended to exclude all Japanese, began a series of actions against Brother Hamada and Japanese merchants: refusing to charter ships, forbidding Japanese to go to Fujian, refusing to meet with the Nagasaki delegates, and most ruthlessly, collecting taxes, and beginning to collect eleven taxes in Daikan.

The Dutch had a lot of trade in Nagasaki every year, and the Japanese never collected taxes, and now they began to collect eleven taxes from the Japanese in front of the mayor of Nagasaki. The Dutch hooligans probably thought that it should be natural for the big officials to collect taxes and Nagasaki not to pay taxes...... Maybe that's how God works, so that's what His people do.

The above is the origin of the trade dispute between Japan and the Netherlands: funny demands meet funny responses, hooligans meet hooligans, and the actions of both sides are so rude and direct, without any regard for the rationality and consequences of the means, in short, this is what happened.

What made Yabei Hamada come up with such a hooligan request? Moral degradation or distortion of human nature? ...... In fact, it is not people who stand behind Hamada to support him, but the market.

The huge amount of trade generated by the Dutch in Nagasaki every year is what makes Hamada so arrogant. The boss of Hamada Yabei is businessman Noto Jiro, and Noto's good friend is Nagasaki Acting Official Sueji Heizou, and who is the boss of Sueji Heizou? Shogun.

The line between heaven and earth has long been opened.

The Dutch will soon have to pay the price for their hooliganism: Hamada, an old hooligan who seems to be a weak chicken, has an antenna stuck in his head.

In 1626, the mayor of Suejihirashi was forced to spend the winter in the Okuto because he was snubbed by the Dutch, and the following year, when he returned to Japan with a grudge, he began to order a blockade of the Dutch merchant houses and trade.

The Dutch just woke up from a dream: it turned out that the mayor and the tax collector were cleaning up the people's house, and they didn't forget it after they went back? Hold the grass, the Japanese are too hooligans, hurry up and send envoys to ease relations!

So, Mr. Peter Nouz, the third prefect of the newly appointed Daikan, hurried to Japan a few days after arriving in Daikan from Batavia. Before going to Japan, the only hooligan thing he did in the senior was to fool Hamada Yabei, pretend to agree to charter a ship to him, and after stabilizing Hamada, he rushed to Japan to ease relations. After that, Hamada was prevaricated by the Dutch who stayed behind, in short, he wanted no boat, and he wanted something else... Nor did it.

Mr. Noiz set off from the big man on the front foot, and when he found the rogue Hamada brother who had been fooled on the back foot, he also fooled 16 natives from the local area, and rushed to Japan to take revenge on the front and back feet. At this time, Nuiz came to Japan, and he knew with his heels that he would not be received by the general; At the same time, Hamada, who had an antenna stuck in his head, swaggered into the shogunate with 16 natives through the matchmaking of the Nagasaki acting officials, and the indigenous team under the banner of "returning to the stream and offering land" not only met the shogun, but also received a gift.

Therefore, Brother Hamada's hooliganism is backed by the entire Japanese official and business class, and it is a fierce game between small channel businessmen and large channel businessmen who rely on their local familiarity.

Historically, Nouiz had never been received by the general, so he returned to the Grand Commander in December 1627. At this time, the Dutch trade system in Nagasaki was in a dangerous frozen state.

And in this plane, when he returns to the Grand Member, he will find that the merchant hall has been occupied by the traversers, of course, this is a good thing for him, he will not be kidnapped in the future, but unfortunately, this matter is only known to the traversers, and Mr. Nuiz is not clear.
