Chapter 120: The Tide Comes

It's the weekend.,The chapters without discipline continue to be sent.。 All kinds of support are welcome!

Zheng Wang Ye was at the head of Thang Long City, frowning, looking at the Nanzhong Army showing off its might on the embankment of the Red River, supervising the people and prisoners, as well as those who had just changed from the prisoners of the Zheng family and the soldiers of the Mo family to the volunteers of today's Nanzhong Army, (The role of these guys changes so quickly that it is dazzling.) So they set up a large camp, built fortifications, and built artillery fortifications at a distance that could be seen with the naked eye.

"The enemy army has already arrived in the city, can the secretary break the thief's trick?"

The ministers who were quick and resourceful in the past are as speechless as gourds with sawed mouths at the moment. But the ministers also have their own plans in their hearts, after a while to go down to the city, they will arrange for their henchmen to go to several shops in the city opened by the Nanzhong to find a way, it is said that Hue City was broken that day, as long as they do not resist, at least they can ensure the safety of their wife's property.

"Red flags, incense cases, fruits, and dragon cards of the great tomorrow should be prepared as soon as possible." In order to keep the good head on the neck and the wealth of the family, many ministers have quietly made arrangements for a retreat, and laid a huge third cave for themselves.

Since the Nanzhong Army announced that it would go north to rebel, the Han and Yuan firms and investigation offices have received many letters of allegiance from high-ranking officials in the Zheng court, and some have simply sent figures such as the younger brother and eldest son to the border areas with the Nanzhong Army through various channels, and have become hostages of the Nanzhong Army in disguise.

"Aiqing, you fought with Li Thief, and you know his tactics and military situation, you said and I listened, why does this camp on the embankment seem to only accommodate more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, instead of the tens of thousands of troops you said, where did those tens of thousands go?"

King Zheng, oh no, Emperor Zheng, glanced at Zheng Mingwu with his eyes, he still knew what kind of virtue his subordinate generals were.

"Playing my emperor's majesty, the besieging ministers that day was the thief army opposite, the Xuanwu battalion and the guard battalion. It's just that as far as the minister knows, the Nanzhong thief army has always liked money, and it is not known whether they divided their troops to plunder the cities, villages and towns along the way along the way to the west, or sent a division to Guang'an and Haining to seize the coalfields. ”

In desperation, Zheng Mingwu made up such words to deal with Emperor Zheng's interrogation, so as not to be killed. Luckily, that sounds like that.

Emperor Zheng snorted in his nostrils, and he was quite satisfied with Zheng Mingwu's answer.

Master Zheng stepped aside and secretly wiped his sweat and was glad in his heart, but he didn't know that what he said in a hurry was the truth.

At this moment, Wang Bao, the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, after congratulating the old commander Zuo Tianpeng on his great victory, picked up his pen and smeared an area with cinnabar on the map, "Old sir, your team is tired and going here. Quickly conquer the city, control the coal kilns, you have done this mission, and the battle to the north is yours! ”

The South China Army won the first battle. Needless to say, go along the Red River or go north to the two important places of Guang'an and Haining, or go west along the river, and go straight to Thang Long.

At this time, Li Shouhan himself was facing a big problem.

His wife, Xiuxiu, who was about to pass through the door, was sitting in his signing room with a pair of beautiful big eyes full of tears.

"Big brother, I don't care, you have to sue me, what's going on with that princess of the Li family?"

On August 15, King Zheng mobilized troops and horses to besiege the Li Palace, and Li Muhua saw the opportunity quickly, accompanied by several henchmen and palace people, and escaped from the danger along a small passage where the palace miscellaneous servants enter and exit on weekdays. He didn't dare to stay in the city for more, but the Zheng family's guards closed the city gate and strictly forbade entry and exit. In desperation, the group had to find a remote place to hide.

Hiding until dawn, the situation in the city gradually eased, and there was news that Li Shenzong had been killed. Hearing this, Li Muhua's heart was like a knife, but he was in danger, and he didn't dare to grieve too much to avoid revealing his secrets. After several tosses, he finally escaped to a shop opened by a merchant in Nanzhong.

This shop is one of the hidden piles set up by the Commercial Investigation Office.

With their assistance, Li Muhua escaped from Thang Long and went south to Ha Tinh.

Although it is already a country and a family, but after all, she is also the princess of a country, and she has an alliance with her own lord of Qin and Jin.

But in this way, Xiuxiu, who is still a few days away, is a little unhappy. Looking at the vacancy, taking advantage of the fact that the eldest brother and the second brother were not there, he broke into the signing room of Shouhan with his personal maid.

For this, the little girl is familiar with the way. When the marriage of the two people was just finalized, it happened that Yan Meier was pregnant, and the husband and wife went to bed in separate rooms. In addition to reviewing official duties, Shouhan has to do some things with Xiuxiu here.

Everyone in the house, including Li Peilin and Li Peiting's brothers, also didn't see it.

The little girl is new to personnel, how can she be the long-tested opponent of Li Shouhan? Under the many tricks of Shouhan, he was made coquettish and shouted happily. Although it is said that it is enjoyable, but the stamen has been climbed and folded at the beginning, how can it make Shouhan happy? Fortunately, the maid next to the little girl is also a caring person, Xiuxiu rolled her eyes, "Wrongdoer, it's yours sooner or later anyway, and it's all cheap for you today, right?!" So, the three masters and servants fought a battle with the Shouhan.

But today, as a wife who is about to pass through the door, I came to ask my man what was going on with the woman outside you, and this scene was naturally not beautiful.

Shouhan has to rack his brains to think about how to deal with this troublesome tigress, alas! Or Gu Long is right, there may be women who don't eat, but women who don't get jealous don't.

was hesitating, the official Cheng Qi outside the door had something to say, but when he saw this scene in the room, he stood at the threshold and didn't know how to deal with himself. As soon as Shouhan saw this scene, he immediately felt that reinforcements had arrived.

"What's the matter?"

"My lord, there is an envoy from the Wa Kingdom who wants to see you."

"Well, is it from the Shimazu family?"

"Nope! It's not the Shimazu family, and the person who came came with a letter of introduction from Zheng Yiguan that day. ”

On that day, Zheng Yiguan was convenient for his fellow villagers in Fujian, found Li Peiting's subordinates, and bought a large number of artillery and cannonball gunpowder from Shouhan, and his strength was greatly boosted, and now he is already one of the overlords of the sea. The two made an appointment, with the big man as the boundary, the west of the big man as the naval division of the South Central Army, and the east of the big man as Zheng Yiguan's territory. The cargo ships of both sides are to be protected in each other's territory.

However, Zheng Yiguan, whose nest is located on Wuma Island, what kind of Japanese people will he introduce to come?

With a salivating face, he sent Xiuxiu's master and servant to the inner room to rest on the side, and Shouhan secretly shouted bitterly in his heart, "This Nima is the end of finding a little girlfriend!" Who made you steal it before you got married?! ”

"Herald! Summoning the envoys of the Japanese people! ”

On the second hall, Shouhan met the Japanese envoy who came from afar.

On the road between the second hall and the main hall, there is still a long distance from the dripping eaves, so the messenger knelt on the ground, bowed to the ground with five bodies, and walked forward on his knees while chanting words in his mouth after getting up.

Thanks to the glorious company and countless online novels, Shouhan still knows a little about the etiquette of the Wa Kingdom, which is said to be the most solemn etiquette in Dongying, and only the public secretary class can use such etiquette; When Akechi Mitsuhide met with Oda Nobunaga, he made this great gift.

Through the Chengqi official on the side of Guò, Shouhan was able to hear the words spoken by the comer clearly.

"Wakoku Hizen Kuni, Awaji Mamoru Mamoru Goto Domain, old Goto Morikiyo, meet the Celestial Empire, the Great General of the Kingdom! The foreign minister wishes the general a victory in ten thousand battles and is invincible! ”

Shouhan looked at Goto Shengqing and decided to spoof the envoy of the Goto family.

"Your envoy has worked hard from afar, but when he came, the road was bumpy and he injured his legs and feet? I have a good doctor here, who specializes in treating external injuries. ”

Goto Shengqing's face showed a slight cinnabar color, and his eyebrows moved up a few times, as if he was a little angry, but his face immediately returned to peace, and he continued to communicate with Shouhan in non-standard official words.

As a daimyo with a stone height of no more than 15,000 stones, he basically cannot survive on the Japanese archipelago without a little special skill. The Goto family's way of survival was to take advantage of their geographical location to share the spoils with the pirates of China, Korea, and Wakoku, and at the same time carry out trade activities.

In fact, it is not only the Goto family that does this, but also the more undisciplined Tsushima family, in order to be able to carry out trade with North Korea, the Zong family does not hesitate to call Korea a vassal, which can be regarded as one of the wonders!

"What are you doing here?"

Fiddling with the letter written by Zheng Yiguan, Shouhan asked knowingly.

Zheng Yiguan's letter clearly stated that Kyushu was barren, and the Goto family, located in the sea archipelago, was even poorer, only 15,000 stone high every year, and could only rely on army trade to survive. However, the Goto family was not short of money, but they lacked all kinds of materials, and they hoped to start trade activities with South China.

In recent years, we have been friendly, such as the light of the Shimazu family, and the guest residence of Zheng Yiguan, all of whom praised the wealth of the general's rule, and the delusional nature of the general, and started trade with the general to relieve the poverty of the people. I hope the general will allow it! ”

In addition to getting the news from Zheng Yiguan, who relied on Goto as a masterpiece and had no capital to buy and sell, it was from the Shimazu family, who had some villains who were rich. Whether it is geographically or historically, there is no hatred between the two, and it seems that cooperation is greater than competition with each other. When the Shimazu family relied on the export of the pitiful production under their rule, made a windfall by selling their daughter, and got hundreds of ronins who could be comparable to the shogunate's banners, they suddenly felt that their waists were a lot stiffer, and their attitude towards the long-cherished enemies outside the world also became tougher.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and Goto Morikiyo discovered this secret from Mitsuhisa when he went to Luo with Shimazu Mitsuhisa, so the Goto family also came to get a piece of the pie.

"Compared with your Shimazu family, my Goto family is dozens of times more than you, except for the stone height, when it comes to gold and silver!"

Well, that's right.

Shouhan let out a long breath.

"There are words in my south, calling it unstable without food, no business without life, no work and no wealth. It has always been to protect commercial and trade activities, and as long as you abide by the law and pay taxes in accordance with the regulations, you can naturally carry out trade activities. ”

Hearing this, Goto Morikiyo suddenly felt that it was the arrival of the Great Bodhisattva of Hachiman, and it was not pleasant to listen to such words. It is a must-have, and it is another mountain shouting dance, thanks to the kindness of the general.

"But what do you have to trade with me?"

"What are you going to buy from my South High School?"

"Returning to the great general of the Celestial Empire, although the property is poor, but it is located in the Confucian road, there are many merchants, and there is no shortage of gold and silver, and the foreign ministers are willing to buy japonica rice, cotton cloth, sharp knives, spears, armor, sugar, silk and other things under the rule of the general with gold and silver."

"In addition, I have a report that although there are many ships in the lonely sea, there are all merchants in our country who have set up shops and stacks in our place, and there are not only merchants from our country, but also merchants from Korea and other places who have also done business in the land of the five islands. As long as the general speaks, the ministers should carefully try their best to find them for the general! ”

Seeing Goto Shengqing patting his chest and boasting about his family's strength, Shouhan was a little convinced, after all, he was a landlord who cooperated with many maritime merchants, and in addition to sitting on the land and sharing the spoils, what he accumulated was his connections.

It can be said that if the Goto family can't handle the supplies in Japan, I believe that even the emperor and the shogun can't handle it.

Well, since you're going to sing, I'll set you up a stage.

"Your envoy, I want to ask your envoy to handle some goods on my behalf in the country, I am willing to use the goods produced in Nanzhong to offset the payment, I don't know if your envoy can do it?"

Since the beginning of the brass cladding for ships, the consumption of copper has increased rapidly in terms of rocket speed, in addition to the consumption of copper, which is zinc and lead. Zinc is used in copper ore processing, and some zinc in copper must be used as an anode to prevent the electrode reaction of seawater, lead is used in the manufacture of projectiles, lead is used in printing textbooks, books and other materials everywhere, and lead is also used in future coinage!

As it happens, these things are abundant in Japan.

Not only copper, zinc and lead, but also sulfur, there are many things that make Shouhan and the entire industrial system and medical system of Nanzhong covet.

"Dongying is barren, and there are not many things produced, I don't know what can enter the eyes of the general? The foreign minister is stupid, and he still asks the general to make it clear? ”

Goto Shengqing was a little confused by the second monk.

(Huh!) Isn't it a bit of a bully to talk to a dwarf about such a height? )

"Think for yourself!"

"My lord, the sword produced in Nanzhong, the armor in the world, and the sword produced in our place, naturally I don't dare to get an axe. But the lacquerware, screens, folding fans, paintings, copper, lead, etc., produced on our premises? With the courage to summon up the courage, Goto Shengqing reported the commodity varieties of Dongying's foreign trade one by one in the past.

"Even if you don't win, it's not far away!"

Shouhan was about to say the list of materials and varieties he wanted to buy in large quantities, and outside the door, Chen Tianhua, the head of the camp office, hurriedly walked over from the door of the lobby.

"My lord! Outside the harbor, there are Japanese boats here. It is said that the south is prosperous for a long time, and he came to trade! I beg the general to allow you to enter the harbor for an audience! ”

"General! Please give the name of the item you need to the foreign minister, and the foreign minister will do his best to do it for the general! Although he was suspicious of the fact that there was an envoy from the Japanese Kingdom here at this time, and suspected that he was playing a small trick to raise his net worth, Goto Morikiyo would rather believe it than seize the initiative first.

"Why rush?! Your envoy has worked hard from afar, so please go to the pavilion to rest in peace, and let me discuss the matter of trade with everyone before I can discuss it with your envoy. ”

Dejectedly returned to the pavilion, after an extremely sumptuous dinner, Goto Shengqing was very helpless in the courtyard looking at the lights in the city in the distance, thinking about how to find out which country and which family's envoy came here, and wanted to grab business with my Goto family?!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, the stone height of the Wudao family is in the Dongying, it should belong to the kind of crane tail, and any big name is several times more than the stone height of the Wudao family, or even dozens of times and hundreds of times. Someone else is stealing business with your Goto family? It's better to say that your Wudao family is beyond your power and has blocked other people's financial paths!

Thinking of this, it aroused the blood in Goto Shengqing's chest even more, "Baga! I must complete the trade agreement with South China! Become a Shogun's purchasing manager in Japan! ”

Just as Goto Morikiyo swore at the moon with his fists clenched, something happened unexpectedly.

At this moment, the deacon of the pavilion carried a lantern to lead the group.

"Mr. Zong, your group lives in this courtyard."

"Multi-seater! Multi-seater! One of the leading dwarves bowed and shoved a golden sentence into the deacon's hand.

Bagaya Road!

It's actually a member of the Zong family!

I actually live in the courtyard next door!

This night, Goto Shengqing had insomnia, and he couldn't stop whispering in his heart to reprimand the Zong family, a group of guys who forgot their righteousness!

"My Goto family has an agreement with your clan! My five islands focus on the southwest, your clan focuses on Korea, do not interfere with each other, and must not plunder each other's trade routes, your clan does not trade with the Celestial Empire, even if there is trade, it will pass through my five islands. My Goto family does not trade directly with North Korea, and even if there is trade, it will pass through your clan. You unrighteous guys! ”

Goto Morikiyo denounced his allies for forgetting their righteousness, selling their teammates professionally, and having no discipline, and finally got tired in the second half of the night and fell asleep.

After daybreak, a deacon from the pavilion came to greet the messenger for breakfast.

When Goto Shengqing and the envoy of the sect family met each other, the expressions of both sides were quite embarrassed, and they had to cover up with each other, and finally after demolishing each other's hypocritical masks, they also recovered to a state of peace, anyway, the business in Nanzhong is not something that can be done by one or two families, and the Shimazu family in front of us looks at us, isn't it the same shameful and undisciplined? It is simply a partnership between the two and makes full use of the geographical advantages and maritime advantages to snatch this business.

However, when the deacon came to greet him for lunch, the envoy of Goto Morikiyo and the clan could no longer contain the anger in their hearts!

In the cafeteria of the pavilion, there is a lord of the Tosa Province who is here. Tosamori, the messenger of Tadashi Yamauchi!
