Yu Bu quit to deal with business in Yamaguchi, and heard that Qing Huaxiang had a bad relationship with the Shimazu family, so he hurried back, but the East 'Gate' Qing asked him not to worry: "Although you do your business well, I will deal with Satsuma's affairs!" And officially ordered Cui Guangnan to be fully responsible for the supply of logistics materials for this battle, and Du Guoqing was his deputy.

Yu Buti thought to himself: "Such a big thing is definitely not an impromptu idea!" The head of the house didn't give me a message in advance, thinking that it was annoying that I was not in step with him. Now that the matter has come to this, it is irreversible for me to force it, and it will only increase his dissatisfaction with me. Then he went to find Anthony and said, "Brother Huang, we are in danger!" ”

Although Anthony talks about God all day long and is a little pedantic, he is actually not a really stupid person, otherwise he would not have secretly helped Dong'men Qing to exterminate the Golden Dog at a critical moment. ”

"Exactly!" Yu Buzhi said: "The plan of the master is very big, this time obviously made up his mind to fight Shimazu from the beginning, and the meeting was just a formality, but we don't know what to do, and he sang against him there, he didn't say anything in his mouth, he must be annoyed in his heart, in this major matter, the master is like a thief to us, not to leak to us 'exposed' half a point, but Xu Hai and other small corners of the 'color' have a part in the participation - we have to quickly think of a way, in this matter to make some efforts, to reverse the impression of the boss on us, Otherwise, if we continue like this, we will be slowly kicked out of the decision-making level, and don't think about confidential matters in the future. ”

Anthony said: "You and I are dealing with business, the other is accounting, and we can't directly intervene in the war, and now that the logistics positions have been arranged, we can't move, how can we contribute?" ”

"Cui Guangnan has been in charge of the big 'legs' from the beginning, and we can't compete with him for the position of logistics premier." Yu Buzhi said: "But he is in this important position, and he must be entangled in a mountain of affairs at this moment, but it is not as good as you and I can let go of our hands to do something other than affairs." You and I also have our own resources in Japan, if we can mobilize a little bit of pressure for the leader, add two points to the chances of winning, and make him feel our loyalty, then this game will not be a complete failure, as long as we can keep the position of the core decision-maker, we will still have a chance to turn the tables in the future. ”

Anthony felt justified and said, "Good! Then I'll go to the captains of the Franc planes, and you go to the Japanese merchants. ”

The two went their separate ways, and Anthony went to contact the Francis and suggested that if they were victorious, they would let Tessie's friends share the results. Although he is Chinese, but he generally believes in God with all the Franc machines, and understands the etiquette of Fanbang, the beliefs and values are similar, and the communication is completely barrier-free, Qinghuaxiang and the Franc Machines are not the first time to 'deal', and they have a good reputation among these people, so many Franc captains have expressed their support under Anthony's lobbying, and secretly provide *** to Qing Huaxiang, of course, most of the Franc machines are actually doing two-sided business - selling to Qing Huaxiang on the one hand, and selling to the Shimazu family on the other hand, but they have reached an agreement with Anthony, *** When it was sold to Qinghuaxiang, it was above board and the amount was large, but when it was sold to the Shimazu family, it was inevitable that it would be secretly 'touched' and 'touched' and the amount was small.

Yu Buzhi went to find Daojing Ren and other Japanese businessmen, and when they met, they asked: "Do you want to do long-term business with Qinghuaxiang, or do you plan to make a short profit?" ”

The merchants asked what a long-term business was and what was a short-term profit.

Yu Buzhi said: "If you can focus on the future, support Qinghuaxiang and the Northern Kyushu Business Alliance a lot at this moment, after the victory in the future, you will have a very big profit in your pockets." But if you have your eyes on the present, then you might as well take the opportunity to slash me Qing Huaxiang and make a windfall, but after the war is over, I am afraid that your business will be a little difficult to do. ”

When all the Japanese businessmen heard this, they were busy saying: "We and Qinghuaxiang naturally want to do long-term business!" Yu Da shopkeeper rest assured that we will fully support Qinghuaxiang and the Kitakyushu Business Alliance. ”

But most people are just thunder and rain, only a few businesses such as Shimai Ren have a unique vision, and actually sell the hoarded materials to Qing Huaxiang at regular prices, and Shimai Ren and Qian Zongyi even promised to use their channels in the business world and Buddhism to help Qing Huaxiang find out the news.

Contacting the Francois and the Japanese businessmen, originally also in the overall planning of the East 'Gate' celebration, but when everything is complicated, he can't follow everything to the end, his subordinates listen to his orders to do things, and his subordinates themselves take the initiative to do things with the overall situation, the effect is still completely different, so seeing Anthony and Yu reciprocating the results of the East 'Gate' rejoiced beyond the hope of the heart, he couldn't help but feel relieved, and said: "Don't give up on me, really sincere." Although Anthony is a bit pedantic, he is also a person who understands the big picture. I have completely excluded the two of them from the decision-making level in this war, but it is a bit too much. ”

In order to cope with this war, Dongmenqing mobilized a total of 2,200 people from Qinghuaxiang's land and water combat team, which can be said to be an outpouring of troops, and borrowed 1,000 people from Li Guangtou.

On the Japanese side, the most deeply related to Qing Huaxiang is the Matsuura family and the Ryuzoji family, but the Matsuura family only has 500 people led by Cage Tian Anjing to help, but the Ryuzoji family is 'fine', the number of participants reached 2,500 people, and the rest of the Hokyushu large and small wealthy families, or out of one or two hundred, or out of dozens of people, adding up to more than 2,000 people, Tao Longfang also led two thousand sailors to meet with the East 'Gate' Qing Division, but after he arrived, he declared that the people of the Ouchi family only came to sweep for Qing Huaxiang.

The maritime power of Chinese merchants in Japan was very strong, and although the army numbered as many as 10,000 people, there was no problem in transporting soldiers. As Dai Tianchou expected, Wang Zhi was worried about the defeat of Dongmenqing and secretly supported it, and most of the merchant ships and sailors of the Chinese merchants were idle in the port after they arrived in Japan and waited for the monsoon to turn.

After the army met in Nagasaki, due to the strong wind of the Shimazu family, seeing that a major war was inevitable, the Kitakyushu Business Alliance swore an oath in Nagasaki, with the East Gate Kei in the center, the Tao Taka House on the left, the Ryuzoji Takanobu on the right, and Captain Furrang Ki, who supported the Kitakyushu Business Alliance, watched the ceremony.

Dong'men' Qing and the wealthy people said about the law: "My Chinese children to Japan has been affected by the Han and Tang dynasties for a long time, is already a civilized state, and the Ming Dynasty is the same species, so not afraid of the wind and waves, across the ocean, to transport the Central Plains of the Department of Merchandise for the Japanese monarchs and ministers for the daily use of the people, not only for small profits, but also to have a heart to understand the existence of the two places, increase the friendship between the two states." Fortunately, the three islands of Dongying, no matter how many gentlemen there are in the business, and I don't see the people of the Ming Dynasty, so we live here with peace of mind, such as in our hometown, and the Japanese monarchs also benefit from this. It's a pity that within a domain, although there are many virtuous people, there are also thieves! Shimazu Takahisa in Southern Kyushu, originally a distant branch of the Shimazu family of the Satsuma Domain, with improper bloodlines, unclear lineage, far away from Kyoto, and estranged from China, acting arrogantly and unreasonably, perversely! In Satsuma, he destroyed his clan and exiled his father for disloyalty and filial piety, and in Kyushu, he cut off the open sea lanes and sat on the ground to collect money, so that the people and merchants of Kitakyushu were all 'suffered', which was unkind and unjust! Kyushu is a civilized state, and the east is not a foreign country, how can this disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unrighteous person be entrenched in the main trade routes, and be laughed at by Taixi's distant friends? Our Northern Kyushu Business Alliance sent troops to denounce Shimazu Takahisa this time, not to claim the king and hegemony, not to seize the city and seize the land, but to drive away the 'traitor' evil, make the open sea channel a thoroughfare, hang the people and cut down the crime, so that the people of Samos can get out of the clutches of the devil as soon as possible. The day of success is the time to retire. However, since the troops are mobilized, the military orders must be inconsistent, and since you have elected me as the leader of this crusade against the Shimazu family, you will ask me to take a leave of absence to command this battle, and you must listen to my dispatch. ”

All the wealthy clans were willing to obey the order, but their voices were uneven and there was no momentum, and Wu Ping and Tang Xiuji secretly shook their heads when they saw it. Only the headquarters of Qinghuaxiang, Li Guangtou Xu Yuanliang's subordinates, and the troops of the Longzao Temple family had a loud voice and responded enthusiastically.
