Chapter 169: Globe

After a little research, Li Xiangqian naturally knew what the level of General Iemitsu, who was now in power in Japan, was in power, but it was also a matter of joy that the target who was prepared to annex was not strong, and this kind of general raised by a woman in the deep palace had no combat effectiveness, but it was very normal for him to have no combat effectiveness, but he didn't know what this thing liked.

Li Xiangqian thought about it slowly and said, "By the way, recently, on the Japanese side, those white people, that is, the Southern Barbarians in your mouth, have there been any movements?" ”

The samurai seemed a little surprised, knowing what the Japanese called those white colonists, nodded slightly, and said: "Back to the general's words, since the promulgation of the national closure decree in our country, although the southern barbarians have not given up, they can only obey the order, and only the merchant ships of the Nalan Kingdom and the merchant ships of your country can trade back and forth in the Nagasaki Domain every year, but they are also very stable." ”

Li Xiangqian smiled and said, "How can you stop a businessman who wants to do business, that is, through those few people." ”

Suddenly, he asked, and said: "A person named Zheng Zhilong in my country is said to be very famous in your country, do you know this?" ”

The samurai said, "Yes, there is indeed a merchant of your country, who travels extensively in our country, and travels between the two countries. ”

Li Xiangqian savored the words of this very clever warrior, and suddenly said, "What a good one. ”

He is very interested in the grandfather of Zheng Chenggong who has never met, this person can definitely be called a huge template for successful people, from a small guy to a domineering president, marrying a Japanese girl, can be called a group of wives, a team of sons, and the property left behind can be called a mountain of gold and silver, in addition to being politically quite brainless, he took refuge in the wrong person, which led to the final collapse of the power, and he even died at the hands of the Tartars, with almost no shortcomings.

This man's discipline is seriously lacking, and it is a ...... in history Well, at best, it's a guy with a pluralistic religion, and to be honest, he's a pragmatist. When doing business with the Portuguese, he had been baptized by Roman Catholicism, and at the same time believed in Taoism the sea god Mazu and Buddhism Morichi Bodhisattva, in Japan, he also visited the Shinto god Hachiman, usually, the temple, and the xxx tomb he buried after his death is also his ancestral tomb, which is a well-known feng shui treasure in Fujian, and the benefits of its feng shui allow him to have a wealth of tens of millions of taels of silver.

Zheng Zhilong's tourist attraction has always been a good place for generations of Fujian officials and nobles to covet and drool, but no one dared to move, naturally because of the death of the third generation of the Zheng family, and his rich life has been exhausted.

The samurai didn't know what idea was turning in his heart, historically, the Japanese have complicated feelings for the people in Japan, and they also knew that through this trade, these guys made a lot of money, but, in the consideration of domination, the Japanese need a window to understand the outside world, so even the so-called lockdown is to leave Nagasaki as a "special zone" open to the outside world, and can do business with restrictions, I have to say, these guys are still quite powerful in the ability to figure out information.

In essence, it is not that they are afraid of the possible loss of doing business, but if the peasants of their own country, the fools who were originally brainwashed, shake the rule of the shogunate after seeing the God spread by those foreign missionaries, it will be more than worth the loss.

However, could it be that this general, who ruled the northern part of the Celestial Empire, became interested in trade with Japan after taking Korea, so he had an idea when he looked at the Zheng Zhilong family, who had an advantage in Japanese trade?

This is really not a trivial matter for Japan, but it is not something that a feudal lord of his small domain can interfere with.

Li Xiangqian is accustomed to observing words and feelings, knowing that this little warrior doesn't know what to think, he still has a good impression of the Japanese, at least he knows that these people will be his best eagle dogs if they use them well, but who raises eagles and dogs has not been scratched, and it is better to learn more from Americans, so he suddenly asked: "By the way, I was rude, and I haven't asked for advice, what is your surname." ”

The samurai suddenly bowed very exaggeratedly and politely, and said, "Hey, I'm a subordinate of the Nagasaki Domain, Kato Taka, please take care of the general." ”

"Oh."

Li Xiangqian seemed to fall into a long silence and thinking, Kato Ying knew that this was thinking about how to communicate with Japan in his heart, but he didn't dare to disturb, for fear of angering the general, even if all kinds of rumors were strange, but within a month, it destroyed a big country like Japan, which greatly shocked the generals in Kyoto and those arrogant bigwigs, this is not a white-skinned southern barbarian who has a sparse population and can only do business and play missionary work, but the Celestial Empire that has been lying around Japan for thousands of years, Will they be tempted to attack Japan directly?

Suddenly, Li Xiangqian recovered from his thoughts, and said as if he was sorry: "Oh, I was just thinking about things, well, I was thinking about what kind of gift I want to prepare for your general, General Jiaguang, this year is forty." ”

Takashi Kato said: "Back to General Li's words, my general is already forty-one years old. ”

Forty-one, that is, the worldview has been formed, and like the prince with Stockholm syndrome, it is difficult to change, and when he thinks of this, he doesn't have to ask anything.

In the 21st century, an old writer once said that there are three kinds of people in the world, men, women, emperors, any person, as long as he stays in that position for a long time, the things he thinks are completely different from others, some look too far, some look too close, Li Xiangqian understands that unless he orders scientific research personnel to come up with some precious Ming, such as brainwashing machine, Yuri's mind control, and directly make the leader of the enemy country a puppet of his own people, otherwise, this General Jiaguang is definitely a time bomb, fortunately, the ability is insufficient, and he only wants to guard his own one-third of an acre.

The national character of the Japanese people, with collectivism and authoritarianism, is diametrically opposed to the superiors and subordinates in their minds, and contains completely absolute obedience and completely absolute oppressive thinking, which is the result of the research of American human sociologists in later generations specifically for the purpose of ruling Japan.

Suddenly, Li Xiangqian restrained the idea of learning the trick of the prince of Zhaoxian, giving Tokugawa Iemitsu a treasure with radiation, and directly letting him die of radiation sickness, and said: "I don't read many books about Japan, and I have the impression that Kyoto in your country has a different way of governing, and it is very clean, right?" ”

"Yes, the beauty of Kyoto is really unforgettable, I was fortunate to go there once, and I felt the Fengyi there, which is really extraordinary."

"Osaka in Kansai is the granary of the world, and Edo is the core of the rule, and I have to say, it's really good."

Looking at Li Xiangqian's expression, no one knew what to say, this unpredictable and legendary general seemed to have some intentions and thoughts about Japan, but Kato Taka felt that it was better to be far away.

"Okay, that's it, I have some gifts for your general, so I'll bother you to take a trip, this thing is a bit big, it was just shipped to Busan, come, come out and have a look."

Li Xiangqian walked out of the hall with Kato Taka in tow, and at this time, there was already a man commanding several Korean slave laborers, pushing these things.

"Lao Gou, here, hard work."

The man smiled calmly, showed his white teeth, and said, "Where is the hard work, it's just sitting and playing games, but this thing is not light." ”

Li Xiangqian said: "After all, it is to be given to the Japanese as a commemorative decoration, and it is better to use more exquisite ones for their earthquake and tsunami." ”

Lao Gou's surname is Gou, no one cares about his real name, the old people on the spaceship basically call him by his nickname, homonym, Lao Gou, at first he still struggled to resist, but later, he had to accept his fate, and he had already accepted the nickname that others called him.

However, at this time, he frowned, looked at the Japanese samurai in front of him, and knew the usefulness of this thing, he wanted to say something, so he said: "Do they understand this thing?" ”

Li Xiangqian said slowly: "It's just so that they can't understand it." ”

Kato Ying looked at the thing in front of him, these are two iron objects, the top is a ball shape, the bottom is a base, this ball looks mainly blue and earthy yellow, and there are many thin lines, however, it seems that he doesn't know what it is, listening to Li Xiangqian's words, it is even more strange.

Li Xiangqian was also satisfied with the things, nodded, and said, "It's really fast, is it hollow inside." ”

Lao Gou said: "Yes, hollow. ”

After thinking about it, Li Xiangqian gave up his plan B, that is, to install explosives in this globe and detonate it remotely, so as to blow up all the high-level Japanese powers.

He turned his head and said with a smile: "I am a foreigner, and I probably know that the most honorable people in your country are the emperor and the Tokugawa shogun, so I will send these two things to Kyoto and Edo respectively." ”

Kato Taka was a little relieved, and immediately asked, "Ah, on behalf of my lord, I thank the general for his kindness, but what is this?" ”

Li Xiangqian nodded and said, "This is a globe, but it is much more accurate than the one made by other orchid scientists, so it is just for the general of your country to take a closer look." ”

The earliest globe of the Chinese has a manufacturing history of forty years, and even three years of Chongzhen, that is, fifteen years ago, the imperial court also presided over the manufacture of one, but in this era, whether it is the East or the West, the accuracy of the globe is still very touching, and many details and landmarks are poorly studied, just like the globe that Matteo Ricci presented many years ago, the proportion is very unbalanced.

In Japan in this era, there are already a lot of guys who are proficient in "orchid science", people have seen the world, and they are not very easy to be blind, but, after all, the foundation of their own empire is still there, and the most real globe on this earth, the only one to give them, can be regarded as letting them understand the majesty of the Celestial Empire.

Of course, this thing is still a little troublesome to make, after all, it is not like other things, there are practical examples, the database of the 21st century, compared with this era, is too much progressive, but many countries that have not yet appeared in this era have appeared in later generations, and too many countries have also died out, and even Africa, the big 6, because there is not much real direct colonization, there has not yet appeared like the national borders of later generations, straight as straight lines, such as the territory occupied by Russia in the north or something, Li Xiangqian is unwilling to admit it, And Ryukyu, also known as Okinawa, is still a vassal state of China, and it is not easy to abandon it, so due to the lack of suitable talents, it really makes the elders spend a lot of money.

Kato Taka looked at this absolutely cross-era exquisite item, many years ago, when the Amakusa Rebellion and the group of Catholics rebelled, many orchid scholars had been beaten, so for a samurai like him, he really didn't know about this thing, so he immediately widened his eyes, looked carefully, and said, "Earth...... Ball! ”

Li Xiangqian nodded and said, "Yes, Earth, well, you see, we are here, Busan." ”

He waved his hand, so that a few slave laborers could go down to rest, and turn the steel sphere, this thing is actually only a dozen catties, which is very convenient, and Busan is indeed easy to find.

In this era, Kato Taka can be regarded as an all-rounder, basically, can write Chinese characters, speak Chinese, at this time Japan is talented, Japan's own map has naturally been seen, quickly touched the bypass, pointed at a distance, and said: "Then, that is, Japan." ”

"That's right." Li pointed forward and said, "The map of your country is actually not complete, and it may be a mistake or omission, so it needs to be repaired by the people of your country, but that's generally it." ”

In fact, the map of Japan in the 21st century in Li Xiangqian's hand is the result of countless land reclamation, so to speak, compared with the map of this era, it is less, originally, there is a technology in the 21st century, called satellite remote sensing mapping, which is specifically to deal with this situation, but how can they have the time to open the satellite technology tree now, so they use the map of the 21st century, prune it a little, and put the name of this era, so let's do it.

Li Xiangqian and the elders of the imperial capital also complained, it may be the people who lost the Celestial Empire, but Kato Eagle has already looked sweating profusely, this map, compared to all the people in Japan, is already exquisite and accurate, in history, Japan is coming, 2oo years later, it began to make a map of latitude and longitude identification, Kato Eagle naturally did not dare to ask, why the Celestial Empire has such a detailed map of Japan, think about it carefully, the Celestial Empire is still the Celestial Empire after all, even if the past few years have suffered a little loss on some barbarians, but a little angry, Don't the barbarians still have to hug their heads and run away?

Kato Taka knelt down exaggeratedly and said, "Thank you for the general's gift, and when I go back next, I will definitely report to the feudal lord and prepare a thick gift for the general." ”

"Oh, that's good, by the way, when you go back, you want to go back to your Nagasaki Domain, help me go back and bring a message to your domain lord, let him tell General Iemitsu, send some shrewd and capable people to the imperial capital, I want to talk to him about things."

Kato Ying looked at Li Xiangqian, with a little fear, and asked, "May I ask the general, what is the matter?" ”

Li Xiangqian smiled and said, "Good thing." ”
