After Cai Feiming and Liu Zhe discussed a few words about the Spaniards, Commander Liu was sent away - the protagonist of the Taipei problem should be the newly established exploration team, not the army. So Lao Cai sent Liu Zhe to the exploration team to contact and said that everyone would meet in the cafeteria for dinner.

After sending Commander Liu away, Cai Feiming sat on the chair and thought carefully for a while, then opened the notebook and crackled and typed.

Cai Feiming spent half an hour drafting three documents.

The first was the report: a plan for the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Spanish powers.

The second is a statement. This quote is for the exploration team, and they can use this quote to make a statement in the future when they come into contact with the Spaniards in Taipei.

The third is the letter. The letter was addressed to the current Governor of Manila in the name of Xia Xianze, the soon-to-be-established Prime Minister of the Second Qin Empire.

......

The battle for Taoism that lasted for half a year, and it was the royalists who won in the end.

The Dingge faction led by Xia Xianze, after several rounds of brutal voting and elimination, successfully set the future name of the country as: The Second Great Qin Empire, referred to as the Second Qin Empire.

Succeeded in establishing the form of government as: constitutional monarchy.

Succeeded in forming a noble council (the House of Lords), which included all the Crossing Members, and filled the Provisional Constitutional Council with Dingle members, leaving only the relatively weak Rules Committee for the Emperor.

In addition, the success of the surname Xia praised himself as the first prime minister of the empire.

Now there are still 2 months before the imperial city is built, although the planned enthronement ceremony of a certain Cao is in September; However, some documents from the Crossing Forces, especially those outside the Ming court, have begun to use the imperial name and official position one after another.

......

After Cai Feiming completed the manuscripts of the three documents, he sent the first report and the third letter to Xia Xianze's mailbox, and then printed out the second short statement.

After a few things were done, Cai Feiming flicked the copper bell placed in the corner of the table a few times with his fingers. After a few crisp metallic sounds, a clean, dark-skinned, short-skinned, short-skinned, indigo overalls and trousers came to the door of the house, stood solemnly, and said in a slightly accented tone, "My lord." ”

Cai Feiming nodded to the young man from Xingang Society: "Li Ren, go and invite a few Japanese guests back." ”

Not long after, the three book merchants returned to Cai Feiming again.

The Japanese came to Daeyuan last month. The fleet of four ships brought gold, silver, copper, iron sand, and sulfur to the chiefs..... There are also people, men and women.

More than 30 short, thick-legged Oriental girls suddenly awakened the memories of some people's youth, and a few special characters who looked like some educators in later generations caused heated discussions in the community that night. Some of them have not used the concubine's funds until now, and some of the goods who claim to be as guarded as jade and have high vision, this time they finally can't hold it.

In addition to the sister, the precious metals and sulfur loaded on the ship are all due to the meaning of the question. When they first returned to the mainland, Higashino Kamitoru and they had a list of material needs for large personnel, so this time they came to Taiwan, the vermilion ship was not loaded with traditional Japanese handmade ornaments, the space was used to carry personnel, and the ballast was replaced with iron placer.

Natural iron placers are usually found in the form of ferric oxide magnetite, which occurs in coastal beaches and river valleys. In the 17th century, this iron ore was a fine raw material for high-end swords and high-end wrought iron products.

In 17th-century Japan, iron ore sources were abundant: including iron ore associated with various silver mountains, including iron placer ore from Hokkaido, including high-grade iron ore imported from sticks. Therefore, the last time the Japanese left, they asked them to change the ballast to iron ore in the future.

200 Japanese cannon fodder/wild samurai/tramps were also transported to the Daijin with the ship this time.

The purpose of these 200 workers was to simply work part-time, and they were not prepared to run to overthrow the Dutch regime as they had in history.

And Hamada Yabei, an old Japanese rascal, after meeting with Toru Higashino and Kobayashi in Nagasaki, was first surprised to learn that the captain had changed, and then after seeing the raw silk that Higashino Kamitoru and they brought back with a full cabin of raw silk, he immediately drove away half of the hired thugs, replaced all the weapons and swords with precious metals and sulfur, and happily returned to the staff with Higashino and them.

You must know that in the original history, in late April 1628, the two ships led by Yabei Hamada came to the main officer, but they were full of No. 470 thugs and a large number of muskets and swords—this is what came to find trouble.

When the Dutch realized that something was wrong, they quickly searched Hamada's cabin, confiscated all weapons, and arrested eleven natives of the Xingang Society, as well as two Chinese generals, on the comical charge of treason.

At the same time, the Dutch confiscated the gifts given by the Japanese generals to the people of Xingang, and Hamada was subsequently detained in the Dayuan Merchant House, unable to go to Fujian to bring back his raw silk and not allowed to leave the country.

So, Hamada took a desperate step and kidnapped the Nuiz father and son, and when everyone returned to Nagasaki together, the Dutch tragedy...... Nouiz was detained, closed, and cut off trade, and eventually his son died in Japan.

......

Now on the Traveler plane, much of history has been changed.

When Yabei Hamada led the fleet to Ojin in late April, he saw a bustling and beautiful port. The new owners of the Otomu are very powerful, and they have transformed this place beyond recognition in a short period of time, and it is not at all what it was when Hamada left half a year ago......

Above all, the storehouses of the Grand Masters were filled with porcelain, cotton cloth and raw silk, and the owners welcomed the practice of trade.

So, Hamada happily worked with Higashino Kamitoru and them to exchange the precious metals in the cabin, along with 200 wild samurai workers, for beautifully printed world coupons.

At the same time, Tsai saw from Kobayashi the diplomatic outcome he most wanted to see: a copy of an order signed by the contemporary shogun, Tokugawa Iemitsu, on the severance of trade relations between Japan and the Dutch.

Well, history has wonderfully returned to its place at this moment.

So the three book merchants got the reward they deserved: priority trade rights. That is to say, as long as there are goods in the warehouse, they can give priority to selection.

The good news keeps coming.

Shortly after the arrival of the Japanese fleet, a lost Dutch ship departed from Nagasaki and arrived at the Otto carrying the members of the merchant hall and the last goods they had obtained in Japan.

After exchanging information with the low-ranking merchant Maur, who had been left behind, the Dutch ship hastily exchanged its goods for raw silk and porcelain, and then rode back to Batavia in the last north wind...... It is believed that in the near future, when Governor Cohen learns that the book has turned around and closed the trade channel, he will consider more carefully: the relationship between the Dutch East India Company and the Crossing Forces.

......

So, the three big businessmen lived in a temporary villa next to the merchant house.

The Japanese are in no hurry now, and they will not return to their ships until the southwest monsoon, which began in mid-to-late May, blows. Unlike previous years, this year they will have another big ...... in July and August The Japanese are striving to achieve the goal of coming to the Daiko trade four times a year.

There is no way, there are too many temptations for the big man to bring them now.

In addition to traditional raw silk, porcelain, and cotton cloth, cement, red brick, and some fine straw goods are also popular among Japanese people.

In addition, the latest high-priced glass teapots and glasses in the kiln area have also deceived the Japanese of a lot of coupons.

The Japanese are now aware of the "point system" introduced by the Crossing Public. When a few book merchants played with sample kerosene lamps in the villa all night, goods like Hamada Yabei, who had no bottom line, strongly expressed the next day: Next time I come, I will definitely pull more wandering samurai and young women to save points and rush VIP.

......

Wild samurai and women are both needed by the Lords at the moment.

There is no need to say this about women. There are too many singles now, and in the long run, it will form a huge social contradiction, so the traversal has been sparing no effort to search for women of childbearing age, regardless of race and nationality.

And the Japanese wild samurai is also a very useful type of work.

In 1549, Catholicism came to Japan, and the first missionary to come to Japan was the Spanish Jesuit Xavier, who called the Catholic Church he introduced "Cheshitan" or "Gili Chitan".

From the acceptance of Catholicism by Japanese daimyo in the mid-16th century, to the murder of Oda Nobunaga, who supported the spread of Catholicism, to the Shimabara Rebellion in the Edo period, to the complete ban on Christianity by the shogunate, there was a brutal struggle between foreign Catholicism and the Buddhist faith in Japan.

The year 1628 was the year of intense friction between the shogunate and the Catholic Cheechtans. A large number of Chechitan followers were exiled by the shogunate, various "great martyrdoms" emerged one after another, all missionaries were expelled, the daimyo who believed in Catholicism was deprived of their titles, and hundreds of thousands of Chechitan followers were persecuted to death by the shogunate.

At this time, the pick-up man came.

The reason why Cai Feiming has been talking to Japanese businessmen frequently lately is here: since these Kishidans can't get along in the mainland, the big men welcome some of their wild samurai to work here.

The Wild Samurai is a very good cannon fodder class. These people are all full-time samurai who have been trained for many years, and neither their will to fight nor their fighting skills can be compared to the mud-legged people who have traveled from the mainland.

As long as these people are properly equipped and weaponized, they will conquer the vast world for the traversals, and this is a good deal.

In the days to come, these wild warriors armed with swords will fight the savages in the humid and sultry tropical jungle where malaria is born, robbing them of food, burning their villages, and using the extremely high mortality rate to free up cages for birds for the empire and expand the territory.
