Chapter 216: Three Ships
Kim Yun-ho is a Korean native of the Ming Dynasty, three years ago through Tsushima 'Lang' to Hirado, in the first round of personnel expansion in Qing Huaxiang he became one of them, because of the diligent work, business 'fine' familiarity, and in the 'fat' before the war in the logistics of the meritorious affairs made a contribution, so he was quickly promoted, at the celebration meeting was Qing Huaxiang's head of the east 'door' Qing cordial reception, Kim Yunhao was moved to a mess, since then more dedicated. This year, Higashi'mon Kei returned to Hirado and was awarded the title, and he became a deputy treasurer, and this time he was appointed to be the messenger who communicated with Shimadzu Sho on behalf of Keikasho Sho, which made him even more proud.
Although the negotiations were led by Du Guoqing rather than Dongmen Kei, Kim Yun-ho still met Shimazu Takahisa after arriving in Satsuma.
At this time, the governor of the Shimazu family is Shimazu Takahisa, who was in the prime of Satsuma's tyrant only unified Satsuma a few years ago, and is ambitious to covet the nearby Osumi and Hinata, as for the trade with the Ming Dynasty, he is determined to win! For the construction of Fangjin Water Village, interception of Qinghuaxiang ships, he also decided to take a risk after repeated discussions with his retainers, the result is that the Shimazu family in the East 'Gate' Qing Hui Ming interception of a large amount of wealth, before the East 'Gate' Qing arrived in the Japanese and successfully attracted a part of the Chinese merchants to stay in Satsuma to do business, these two big profits made the Shimazu family retainers feel that this adventure is worth it!
However, what they were worried about finally couldn't be avoided: the East Gate celebration was back! At this time, the Shimazu family began to imitate muskets, plus the muskets purchased in the trade, the number was less than fifty, as for the large barrel, there was no 'door', compared to the increasingly well-equipped Qing Huaxiang, the Satsuma family's firearms and equipment were still lacking, as for the naval battle ships were far inferior, so since I heard that this Ming "famous general" who had swept through Kitakyushu arrived in Goto, the important ministers of the Shimazu family tensed their nerves, and paid attention to the movements of Qing Huaxiang every day, and increased troops to Fangjin, and ordered the important minister Kamada Masanian to take strict precautions.
Fortunately, Higashi'mon Kei has not made any moves since he arrived in Hirado, and it is reported that after he arrived in Hirado, he was accompanied by the pot-bellied Ayako every day, and he didn't even pay attention to business, and he didn't know whether he was happy to be a father or a husband.
"Don't take it lightly!" Shimazu Takahisa's biological father, Shimazu Hisin Sai, who has become a monk and retreated to the second line but is still his son's counselor, said: "People who do great things will not really care for their wives and children!" Maybe it's the smoke he put out on purpose! β
Soon, the old Yijiyuan Zhonglang inquired: A few days after Qing Huaxiang arrived in the port, Yu Bu moved around, transporting goods to various daimyos, and he was very busy. Ijiin TadΕro said: "Presumably they are busy with business, so they don't have time to pay attention to us." β
Shimazu Rixin Sai was still not at ease, and said, "Don't take it lightly, don't take it lightly!" β
At this moment, Kim Yun-ho, the envoy of Qinghuaxiang, came, and his arrival relieved everyone in the Shimazu family, and they all thought: "Qinghuaxiang is willing to negotiate, then it is the best!" "In the face of the Chinese, the Japanese in this era have an innate lack of confidence.
Before the envoy arrived, a brig under the flag of the double carp was going to bypass Satsuma to Kaizhen, and Kamada Masaneni hesitated, and while sending a ship to stop it, and not attacking on the ship, he sent someone to report to Shimazu Takahisa.
Ijiin Tadaro believes that at present, Qing Huaxiang is sending an envoy to negotiate, and if Qing Huaxiang's ship is detained at this juncture, he is afraid that the relationship between the two sides, which may be warm, will be stiffened, and Shimazu Rixin Sai also believes that this matter should not be rash, and it is necessary to be careful that it is the 'lure' bait released by Qing Huaxiang. Only one general, Xin Nazhong, was young and vigorous, and said: "You can't just let them go!" We have already announced that we are going to bypass the Satsuma and 'pay' the donation, and now if this case is opened, there will be a second, a third, a fourth! And the prestige that has been established between us will be gone! β
But his voice was suppressed by several other elders, and finally Shimazu Shinsai came up with a way to make the muddy mud loosen Kamada Masa's Chinese New Year's Eve, creating an opportunity for Keikasho's brig to "escape", which not only avoided the Shimazu family from destroying its prestige, but also prevented the relationship between the two families from continuing to deteriorate due to the brig.
After dealing with this matter, the people of the Shimazu family arranged for the governor to meet with the envoy of Qinghuaxiang, but after the meeting, they learned that the envoy of the East Gate Qing was not the Ming clan, and the people of the Shimazu family were dissatisfied again, thinking that the East Gate Qing sent a North Korean to look down on themselves! Therefore, after learning of Kim Yun-ho's origin, Shimazu Takahisa left a little rudely, leaving only Ijiin Tadharo and Kim Yun-ho to deal with.
Kim Yoon-ho trembled with anger when he saw these Japanese people treating him so coldly, thinking that he had been insulted, and almost wanted to walk away. However, although he did not receive much power as an envoy this time, his task was mainly to inform the Shimazu family that Qing Huaxiang was willing to negotiate peace, and that he would convey the request of Higashi 'Gate' Kei.
However, Yijiin Zhonglang was reluctant to talk to a Korean, and he must send at least one envoy from the Ming Dynasty to show his sincerity. Kim Yun-ho stayed in Satsuma for a few more days, but the Shimazu family refused to let go, and they were bound to send an envoy from the Ming Dynasty to talk about it.
However, the people of the Shimazu family did this only for this poor Kim Yunhao, but they still attached great importance to Qing Huaxiang himself - when Kim Yunhao was still in Satsuma, another three-masted sailing ship with the double carp flag passed by, and Shimazu Takahisa still let it "escape" as he did last time, in order to send such a signal to the east 'gate' Qing: It's not that I don't want peace talks, I just want you to find someone more weighty!
But Kim Yun-ho was humiliated by this, but he hated these Japanese people so much that he endured it for fear of breaking the big business name, and when he returned to Hirado and told Du Guoqing, he couldn't help crying bitterly. Du Guoqing actually doesn't look down on the North Koreans very much in his heart, but it is his subordinates who are crying in front of him, and it is not easy to say it directly, in fact, he also thinks that it is not an unreasonable request for the Shimazu family to ask him to send an envoy from the Ming Dynasty.
Who knew that when he took Kim Yunhao to report the situation to Dongmenqing to Dongmenqing, Dongmenqing sneered and said: "What is the origin of the Ming Dynasty and the origin of North Korea!" North Korea is the first subordinate of the Ming Dynasty, and the people of North Korea are different from the people of the Ming Dynasty? On the spot, Kim Yunhao was promoted to be the treasurer, and the deputy manager was sent to take Xu Hai as Kim Yunhao's deputy, and still let him go to Shimazu's house for the second time as an envoy, and wrote a handwritten letter for him to bring to Shimazu Takahisa.
Kim Yun-ho was so generous to the East 'Gate' Qing that he was "excited" on the spot, and the Korean members in Qing Huaxiang were all heartfelt when they heard about it.
At this time, the Matsuura family and the Ryuzoji family had already established a business name, and when Kim Yoon-ho arrived in Satsuma again, the Shimazu family also followed suit and established the Shimazu business name, and the day after Kim Yun-ho arrived, news came from the north that the Matsuura family and the Ryuzoji family had formed a 'fat' former business alliance, and the Shimazu family decided to establish the Satsuma business alliance that night.
Regarding the popularity of business names and business alliances, the people of the Shimazu family reacted very quickly, but they delayed Kim Yunhao for several days. The retainers of the Shimazu family did not expect that this North Korean would go and return, at first they wanted to leave him cold and ignore him, and when they heard that he had a handwritten letter written by the head of Qing Huaxiang to Shimazu Takahisa, he was received by Tadharo of Ijiin and asked for a handwritten letter from Dong'men Qing, but Kim Yunhao resolutely refused to allow it, and said: "We said that the matter in the letter is very important, and I must personally 'hand' hand 'hand' it over to the head of your business, otherwise the bento will be torn up, so as not to fall into the head of the bandit class and miss the two major events!" β
Ijiin Tadaro was worried that there was really something important in the letter, and if it was not handled properly, it might lead to war, so he had no choice but to tell Shimazu Takahisa, who reluctantly agreed, and asked Kim Yunhao to meet him again, and took the letter from his hand to see that there was no language and business and military affairs in the letter, but only two kind words from Dongmen' Qing, saying that in his eyes, his subordinates' origins are no different whether they are from the Ming Dynasty, North Korea or Japan, and Kim Yunhao is an important minister of Qinghuaxiang, please Shimazu Takahisa should not be lightened by this. Shimazu Takahisa was very displeased after reading it, and almost wanted to tear it up, but after thinking about it, he was afraid of the name of the small instrument, so he held back, and patiently asked the East 'Gate' Qing how to negotiate.
Kim Yunhao didn't know what was written in the letter, but seeing that Shimazu Takahisa's attitude towards himself had changed from disgust when he first entered the 'door' to passive etiquette, he guessed that the east 'door' Qing was defending himself in the letter, and he was more grateful in his heart, and he was neither humble nor arrogant at the moment, and stated the bottom line of the East 'Gate' Qing negotiations: "We think that the three requirements made by your firm are very rude!" The route of the open sea was originally opened up by my Qinghuaxiang navigator and set by the big shopkeeper Tang Xiuji! Your firm occupies this place to buy the road money, and it is a little too much to say that it is not divided into Qinghuaxiang, how can you still ask us to take the money? As for the relocation of the base, we were used to it in Hirado, and Mrs. Matsuura was in front of Hirot, so there was no reason to go south. β
Before he finished speaking, Ijiin Tadhiro, Shinna Tadamoto and others all sweated for him, and Shimazu Takahisa didn't expect that this person from the East 'Gate' Qing faction came twice, and he said something like this, and couldn't help but sneer: "This is Qing Huaxiang's sincerity?" β
Jin Yunhao still insisted, and said: "We are in charge, he can not blame the past, and he doesn't care how your business wants to collect the road money from other businesses in the future, but if you 'insert' the double carp banner, please don't disturb, lest the two families get dirty." Qinghuaxiang hopes that the two families will be reconciled and there will never be a fight - this is the sincerity of our family! β
Shimazu Takahisa was furious and shouted, "Good! I will also let the East Gate celebrate to see my sincerity! β
At about this moment, the sea in the direction of Hirado sailed for the third time, a four-masted galleon, with a majestic twin carp flag on board, and a cabin full of valuable cargo, but the treatment that this ship enjoyed near Satsuma was completely different from the previous two!
