Van Nick and Nilco are both from Dutch naval families, although they are not nobles, the Netherlands is also a republic at this time, and there is no king, but the European family has a long heritage, especially the Dutch navy, which has been established for more than a hundred years, and there are indeed quite a lot of families with heritage.

In the eyes of these two Dutchmen, the soldiers in front of them are not only terrible about the neat uniforms and equipment, but also about the pace in front of them.

Even if they were wandering on the street, these Great Wei soldiers still subconsciously set up a column and took the most neat steps.

Both Dutchmen had a poisonous eye and were quite accurate.

The soldiers of the government army in front of him, this kind of pace, eyes, and the proud and conceited look on their faces, and some violent colors under their eyes, are simply the image of a strengthened version of the colonizer.

The two Dutchmen looked at each other, and Nilko was already fluent in Japanese language, and Nick could listen and speak, and both of them regretted it at this time.

If you knew this, you should have learned the language of the Wei people!

"Everyone, everyone!" The two Dutchmen had a good heart, and Nilco stepped forward in a skillful Mandarin, with a sincere smile on his face, and the pride and conceit he had just had vanished.

"Dear friends, we are early arrivals, seeing that you are new to the city, I would like to invite you to have a few drinks, let's chat, enhance friendship, how about it?"

A group of government soldiers and sailors all looked surprised, there were many people who were curious about them along the way, and there were many people who greeted them, but there was no one who was so enthusiastic as the two yellow-haired and blue-eyed people in front of them, which was a little abnormal.

Many sailors know the Japanese language, Huang Laifu is one of them, when he was a sailor before, he was running the line of the Japanese country for half a year, and he stopped in the port for a long time.

He translated the words of the two Yiren, and Huang Laigui immediately said: "Look at the appearance of these two people, they are overheated." The weasel gave the chicken a New Year's greeting, and he must have no good intentions. ”

"Not necessarily, it's not bad to talk." Luo Fangxiao explained to everyone: "This is the Taixi people, who seem to be Dutch. They have always wanted to contact their allies and Pu Xing Fenggan, and we Lan Fangguo have dealt with them before, but their strength is too weak, so His Highness the Prison State did not take it too seriously. His Royal Highness King Qin is also interested in these Taixi people and has been considering joining forces with them, so you can talk to them and see what they want to do. ”

"It turned out that I was going to do it with the Heavenly People." Huang Laigui immediately said: "If you dare to dry with Pu Xing, Lao Tzu will look up at him, and ask them to invite any wine, shame people, of course, Lao Tzu will please." ”

"If there are few of them, they are afraid that they are bragging."

"It doesn't matter, there is one more person who dares to do it!"

A group of government soldiers and sailors are also straight-hearted men, Luo Fangxiao said that the Dutch want to fight Pu Xingfeng's idea, immediately very enthusiastic, everyone stepped forward together, hugged the two Dutch, and walked to the tavern that had been investigated in advance, Huang Laigui was half a head taller than the two Dutch, walked forward, and walked with the Dutch on the left and right, but the two Nilco and Fannick, who were about to touch a gray nose, were confused.

……

"Ladies and gentlemen, please slow down." As the "Mahui" samurai of the Ouchi family, that is, the samurai directly under the daimyo, Kobayashi Zunichi's status is only under the samurai generals and various samurai officials, as well as the elders of the old middle family, and in several subordinate countries of the Ouchi family, he can be regarded as a person with status wherever he goes.

Underneath it, there are low-level samurai such as apprentices, pawns, and concentrics, as well as ashigaru, small ones, and miscellaneous soldiers in the middle. And then there were the merchants and the common people.

At this moment, Kobayashi Zunichi had to bow his body to the lowest, and his nose felt like it was about to touch the ground. His attitude was very respectful, and his face was always flattering, and it would be a shame if this gesture was seen by acquaintances in the city.

As a Mahui samurai, he was originally a close attendant and confidant of the daimyo, and he was required to be skilled in martial arts, self-confidence and self-esteem, and he had to have rules and regulations in order to be recognized.

This time, the task was also personally ordered by the family elder, and this group of samurai who came from Kyoto had bad intentions, and it was likely that they were to inspect the trade situation in Hirado and other ports, and to make preliminary preparations for the future closure of the country.

Of course, these people must greet well, and it is of course impossible to expect them to say good things to change the national policy, and the current idea of the Ouchi family is to delay as much time as possible and not to make hasty changes. It is because of these samurai from Kyoto, that is, the "imperial family", that is, they must be greeted well and not given the opportunity to make trouble.

This task is related to the layout of the Ouchi family, once something happens, Kobayashi Zunichi understands that he has to apologize for his seppuku, and there is no second way to go.

So far, the reception task has been done quite well. Kobayashi praised the large number of ships and the abundance of profits, which affected not only the Ouchi family, but also the other feudal clans, bringing practical benefits to a large number of merchants and samurai.

The royal family led by the Kyoto side is called Otake Soldier Uemon, and it is obvious that he came from a samurai family. Dazhu is a person as its name, thin and tall, the height is very tall among the Japanese people, the robe on the body is exquisitely made, the Japanese knife is also an ancestral treasure knife, when looking at people, rarely look at each other, are with a look down and contemptuous eyes, the tone is also very arrogant, it is simply unbearable.

The rest of the royal family also had the same posture, standing tall and treating Kobayashi and others as dirt buns, which made the samurai of the Ouchi family unbearable.

In the evening, Otake, Kuroda Keiqin and the others drank at the tavern at the harbor and did not leave until after dark, not intending to go back to rest, but to continue drinking at another venue where geisha performed.

A group of people came out of the restaurant drunk, although Lin Xiaozunyi's attitude was respectful, Dazhu and the others almost ignored it.

The crowd walked across the streets, kicking them or slapping them with their hands and screaming at them when they got in the way.

This group of royal family members simply has no samurai physique!

Kobayashi Zunichi thought so at first, but when he helped Kuroda, he was pushed away by this person, and when the two sides were in contact, Kobayashi Zunichi saw that Kuroda Jingqin's eyes were full of coldness, not like a drunken confusion, he was suddenly shocked, and then he suddenly realized that these people were not really drunk, and they were about to return, just to take the opportunity to make trouble, to stumble on the Ouchi family, or to declare the existence of the shogun's regime in this land.

Either way, Japan was under the authority of the shogun!

As soon as Kobayashi Zun realized this, he was extremely nervous in his heart, and he signaled to his partners around him to send people to clear the idlers on the street as much as possible.

In today's scene, these royal family members are likely to kill people because of a little confrontation, and after the killing, the Ouchi family can't punish them, and they have to apologize to the general.

It was the Ouchi family that was disgraced, and the general might even send someone over to take the blame, and the Ouchi family had to hand over a few samurai who did not serve well and cut their stomachs in front of the envoys.

Either the Ouchi family could not bear it, and they raised troops in anger, playing the slogan of respecting the king and raising troops to resist the shogunate.

However, Lin Xiaozun estimated that the Ouchi family would not raise troops because of this trivial matter, such a trivial matter was just the beginning of friction, and it was a sign for the world's daimyo and all parties to see.

After that, there will be more friction, more dissatisfaction, and the shogun will keep accusing the Ouchi family of being disrespectful, and then involve the matter in the port trade, and start to create public opinion to cut off or cut the trade, to this extent, the Ouchi family will have to fight only one battle. Kobayashi's back was almost soaking wet...... As long as there is a fight tonight, he will be dead.

Committing seppuku by himself, and calming down the incident for the family, the two kinds of seppuku will have different results, but no matter how glorious it is to seppuku for the family and how much the family is taken care of behind him, Kobayashi Zunichi never wants to end up like this.

As a close samurai, Kobayashi Sonichi has seen countless seppuku ceremonies.

The defeated, the accused, the derelict samurai, all kinds of bizarre reasons can make people seppuku.

Sometimes, in order to prove his innocence, he will also cut his stomach. Or to express loyalty to the feudal lord, the best way to do this is, of course, also seppuku.

All kinds of reasons and all kinds of reasons, the result is just everything, with a sharp knife deep into the abdomen, then a horizontal knife, and then an upward knife, so that the whole intestines are cut open, the intestines gush out, and the internal organs are visible.

Kobayashi Zunichi has seen such a bloody scene many times, and many samurai can't complete the second sword at all, and there is no one in a hundred who can complete the ceremony completely and cut out the second sword.

The smell of blood at the scene, the feeling of cruelty, even a samurai who learned the art of killing since he was a child, and experienced battles when he grew up, but was not too afraid of death, was actually difficult to bear.

There are many people who choose to cut the fan directly, that is, to use the fan to draw on the abdomen, and then directly behead the wrong person. This is not very painful, and samurai who do not have much sense of honor generally choose to do so, and the top is not too harsh.

Kobayashi Sonichi, a samurai like the horse back to the family, is not the kind of samurai who takes care of the warehouse or settles accounts, or even manages the kitchen, if he uses a fan to cut, it is a kind of stain on the family honor, and the samurai family that has been inherited for hundreds of years cannot appear like this all scum, Kobayashi Sonichi still has to treat himself in the most cruel way.

The thought of such a result made him shudder.

……

Huang Laifu, Huang Laigui, Luo Fangxiao, as well as Kearney, Fannick and others talked very happily, everyone ordered some dishes in the tavern, and some Japanese wine, and the eating and drinking were not very enjoyable. The wine of the Japanese people has a sour taste, the meals are quite small, and a few slices of sour radish are also dishes, which are served in a grand manner.

The dishes are mostly sashimi, boiled fish, boiled vegetables, pickled fish and pickled vegetables. Huang Laigui is tall and strong, and he eats a lot of food, so he is really not addicted to eating these things.

Everyone also had money, and they asked the store to serve a large bowl of meat, chicken, and pork, but the people at the tavern said that there was only fish, and there was no meat of all kinds.

The sailors and soldiers also knew that the eating habits of the Japanese people were mainly fish-based, as if they were influenced by Buddhism and living habits, even if the dignitaries ate, that is, a small bowl of rice with some boiled fish and vegetables, only important festivals, will add some deerskin, roasted pork and other dishes, the dishes that can be eaten in ordinary restaurants in Dawei are specially added to the table when the nobles celebrate the festival, and in terms of diet, the two countries are really far apart.

Everyone was very well-behaved, and after clinking glasses with the Dutch, they just took a sip and put it down, and then the two Dutchmen asked the reason, and after drinking, their frivolous faces showed a solemn look.

The Dutch asked in detail, Huang Laifu and Luo Fangxiao both picked up what they could say, and there were some things that they could inquire about with a little care, and there was no need to hide them.

The two Dutchmen were not too disappointed, and what they wanted to know was already evident from the details of how these soldiers and sailors got along with them.

After leaving the tavern, everyone took their leave in the streets, and the Dutch also learned this Dawei etiquette, and they were very attentive to learning these things, and after a few fists, the two Dutchmen learned it in style.

"We hope to trade in Nan'an Port in the Eastern Domain."

At the last minute, A.T. Kearney said, "I wonder which official we need to get approval?" ”

"Neither." Huang Laifu clasped his fists and saluted, and said: "The ports of the Eastern Domain, like every port of the Great Wei, are open to merchants from all countries, as long as they abide by the laws of our Great Wei, everything will be unhindered. ”

"We have some of our own customs." "We want to get some perks, some privacy," Van Nick laughs. I've heard that there are a lot of desolate places in the Eastern Domain, and if you can build us our own private harbor, some warehouses, and camps, we can use them to replenish our merchant ships. In addition to this, we must abide by the laws of the Great Wei. ”
