Before joining the army, Konishi Yukinaga was a well-known medicinal herb merchant in the Japanese country, and his business not only spread throughout the Japanese country, but also as far as the Ming Dynasty and North Korea.

In the process of Toyoshiro Hideyoshi's rise, President Konishi gave Toyotomi Hideyoshi a lot of help financially. In order to repay Governor Konishi, Toyotomi Hideyoshi summoned Governor Konishi, who was doing business in Korea, back to China through the emperor's decree and entrusted him with important tasks.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi was not wrong, Governor Konishi was not only a good hand in business, but also extraordinary in commanding troops to march and fight. In the process of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's unification of the various ministries of the Japanese kingdom, Konishi Yukicho repeatedly made military exploits and was deeply appreciated by Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

In this invasion of Korea, Toyotomi Hideyoshi even organized Konishi Yukinaga's troops into the First Army of the Army, as the vanguard of the capture of Korea.

After the landing of the First Army from Busan, Governor Konishi led the vanguard troops of the First Army to link Dongnae, Miryang, Intong, Sangju, Wangjing, Kaesong, and Pyongyang in a short period of time.

After capturing the Korean capital of Wangjing, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was far away in the Japanese kingdom, was overjoyed and immediately issued an edict to reward Konishi Yukicho, which made the other Japanese commanders who invaded the dynasty very jealous.

Konishi Yukicho is not a cold-blooded killer who does not eat the fireworks of the world, many years ago, after bidding farewell to Yoo Yingying's mother and daughter, and returning to the country from North Korea, he always misses his wife and young daughter who are far away in North Korea.

This time to enter the DPRK war, along the way, Konishi Yukichang has been inquiring about the whereabouts of his wife and daughter. Especially after the Japanese army captured Wang Jing, he came to the small courtyard on the street where he and his beloved woman Liu Xiangyun once lived together.

Looking at the courtyard that once brought him warmth and love, President Konishi was full of emotion. The love of the past is vivid, but there is no choice but to see the grass in front of me, and things are wrong. He sent people to inquire about the whereabouts of his wife and daughter in Wangjing, but to no avail.

The failure to find his wife and daughter made President Konishi feel disappointed. Far from bringing him joy, he felt more and more tired like never before.

After capturing Pyongyang, he saw that most of North Korea's territory had been trampled under his feet, but his beloved woman and daughter were still nowhere to be heard! He often drank alone to kill his sorrows. His personal translator, Jing Zhe Xuansu, saw that Konishi Yukicho looked listless all day long, so he recommended Fengyue Pavilion to him, saying that there was a geisha in Fengyue Pavilion, and the small song was extremely good.

Governor Konishi didn't like this kind of fireworks place, but he couldn't stand Jing Zhe Xuansu's repeated persuasion, so he had to come to the "Music Art Workshop" of Fengyue Pavilion on a moonlit night when the stars were sparse.

Unexpectedly, he met his daughter Liu Yingying, whom he hadn't seen for more than ten years, in the "Music Art Workshop", he wanted to recognize his daughter, but his daughter was resentful of him and did not want to recognize him as a father, which made President Konishi feel very painful.

However, Konishi Yukicho doesn't blame her daughter, she understands her daughter's mood at this time, after all, since her daughter came to this world, the fatherly love she has given her is pitiful. Besides, his current status will definitely increase his daughter's resentment towards him.

Yukicho Konishi did not disclose his father-daughter relationship with Yoo Yingying to anyone, and he thought that this was also what his daughter wanted. As soon as he had free time, Konishi went to the "Music Art Workshop" as an ordinary guest to listen to his daughter play music and rap for herself. Only at this moment did he feel extremely happy and comfortable.

One night, after playing a song, his daughter mentioned to him that Zheng Zai wanted to process cotton clothes for the Japanese army stationed in the city. Konishi readily agreed.

This is the first time that his daughter has begged himself, and he will try his best to satisfy his daughter. Of course, Governor Konishi promised Yoo Yingying that he had another idea, that is, since the Japanese army entered Pyongyang, Governor Konishi hoped to quickly restore order in Pyongyang City, especially commercial order. He still had a positive attitude toward Korean businessmen who were actively engaged in trade with the Japanese army. He would like to see the artisans in Pyongyang offer to make cotton clothes for the Japanese army.

Konishi's headquarters is located in a tall building in the city of Pyongyang. After the discussion of Shi Lang, Ye Ruliu, and Xie Yuan, it was decided that Zheng Zai, Xie Yuan, and Ye Ruliu would go to discuss cooperation with President Konishi.

Ye Ruliu went, although there was a certain risk, but with her with her, she could adapt to emergencies, after all, this time she was facing the supreme commander of the Japanese army stationed in Pyongyang, and everyone knew very little about this gentleman. It is difficult to predict what will happen to this appointment. Ye Ruliu's identity is Zheng Zai's mute woman.

The talks took place in the reception room of Yukito Konishi's headquarters. Under the guidance of a maid of the Japanese Kingdom, Zheng Zai, Xie Yuan, and Ye Ruliu entered the reception room.

"Welcome." In the reception room, Konishi Yukicho, dressed in a traditional Japanese kimono and pedaling on wooden sandals, stood up from a tatami mat printed with a light blue twill pattern to welcome the trio.

There is another person in the room, that is, Jing Zhe Xuansu, the military interpreter of President Konishi, who is in charge of interpreting today's meeting between the two sides. Although Xie Yuan is proficient in the Chinese language, in order to avoid arousing suspicion, he communicates in Korean today.

"Hello, Your Excellency General Konishi!" Zheng Zai bowed to Governor Konishi who came over, "This is my wife, this is my cousin." ”

"You're welcome." Governor Konishi said to Xie Yuan and Ye Ruliu.

"Hello!" Xie Yuan followed Zheng Zai's example and gave a salute to President Konishi.

"Ahhh Ye Ruliu took Zheng Zaidi's arm and pretended to be timid to greet Governor Konishi.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency General, my wife is a mute and hasn't seen anything in the world, don't be surprised." Zheng Zai pretended to be embarrassed.

"It's okay, it's okay. The lady is very beautiful. Hahaha, please take a seat! President Konishi happily beckoned Zheng Zai and the three to take their seats.

Zheng Zai and Ye Ruliu sat on the left side of the long solid wood table in the center of the tatami mat, while Jing Zhe Xuansu and Xie Yuan sat opposite. The table is filled with traditional Japanese dishes such as grilled fish, clear soup, and fruits.

After all the guests were seated, Konishi Yukicho sat down cross-legged in the host's seat.

"Our Father in heaven, let your name be holy, and your kingdom come, and your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; Forgive us our guilt as we forgive those who have wronged us; Don't let us fall into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the living, from this day to ever, and to the ages. Amen! "Konishi was a devout Christian, and he prayed the prayers of the dining, completely ignoring the curious and astonished eyes of the guests.

After President Konishi finished praying, the waitress standing on the side hurriedly poured wine for everyone.

"Let's try the sake of our Wa country." Governor Konishi raised his glass to persuade him to drink, and Zheng Zai, Xie Yuan, and Ye Ruliu hurriedly raised their glasses.

"Good wine, good wine!" Zheng Zai pretended to grovel and flatter.

"Come on, come on, eat vegetables, eat vegetables." President Konishi looked even more enthusiastic.

Xie Yuan sandwiched a piece of Japanese grilled fish, which was indeed delicious.

"Young people, what do you usually do?" President Konishi asked Xie Yuan, and he seemed to be very interested in Xie Yuan.

"Help out at my cousin's shop." Xie Yuan replied.

"My cousin, that's very capable. My business is a great deal for him. Otherwise, it's really too busy. Zheng Zai interjected to praise Xie Yuan.

"Yingying mentioned you to me, and I can see that she cares about you very much. I hope you don't let her down. President Konishi said to Xie Yuan.

"Yingying is a good girl, I will treat her well." Xie Yuan felt that Governor Konishi in front of him was a kind elder at this time, so he said seriously.

"Thanks to you for protecting Yingying last time, I am very grateful. Let's have a drink! Governor Konishi happily clinked glasses with Xie Yuan, and both of them were all gone.

"Your Excellency General, my wife and I toast you!" Zheng Zai and Ye Ruliu toasted at the same time.

Konishi clinked glasses with the two of them.

"Okay, Mr. Zheng, let's get into the topic and talk about cooperation!" Yukicho Konishi put down his glass and got down to business.

"My 'Xiangxiang Shoes and Hats Shop' is willing to cooperate sincerely with His Excellency the Commander!" Zheng Zai said in a firm tone.

"Very well, to be honest, I think we Japanese soldiers are here to help you. Behold your king, who indulges in wine all day long. The entire court was weak and incompetent. People are living in dire straits. And our Wa country Guan Bai Shenwu is mighty, wise and decisive, and ambitious. The reason why Guan Bai decided to send troops to North Korea was actually to save the North Korean people. You see, since the arrival of our army in Pyongyang, we have been able to say that the people's lives have been stable. We very much welcome enlightened people like Mr. Chung to cooperate with us in building a peaceful and prosperous Pyongyang. After President Konishi finished speaking, he looked at Zheng Zai with appreciation.

"I will definitely live up to the expectations of His Excellency the General!" Zheng tried hard to pretend to be flattered.

"Come on, let's have a drink together!" Yukicho Konishi was in a happy mood.

The atmosphere in the house began to become more harmonious.

"Your Excellency, General, see if we can sign the agreement as soon as possible. Autumn in North Korea is short, and once summer passes, winter soon begins. We want to start processing and making it as soon as possible, so as not to delay your army's use for the winter. Zheng wasted no time in saying to President Konishi.

"That's easy to say. However, before signing the contract, I hope that Mr. Zheng can agree to one condition for me. ”

"I don't know what the conditions are?"

"I am going to set up a federation of businessmen in Pyongyang, through which I will unite the Korean businessmen in the city and jointly promote trade between the DPRK and our country. It is hoped that Mr. Zheng will be able to serve as the president of the association. I wonder what Mr. Zheng thinks? After President Konishi finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass on the table and shook it slowly, looking at the swirling wine vortex in the wine glass, waiting for Zheng Zai's reply.

After listening to President Konishi's words, Zheng Zai felt a little embarrassed. To tell the truth, if it weren't for the fact that he was not helping the detachment to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, he would not want to deal with the Japanese people. He knew in his heart that if he agreed to serve as president, he would undoubtedly put on a "traitor" hat for himself. He will be despised and reviled by the people of Pyongyang.

"This ......" Governor Konishi's request was very sudden, and Zheng Zai didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Isn't Mr. Zheng willing to cooperate with us?" When President Konishi saw that Zheng Zai was indecisive, an unhappy expression immediately appeared on his face.

"Ahhh......h So, she shook Zheng Zai's arm vigorously, then pointed her finger at herself, nodded her head a few times in succession, and then stretched out her thumb and raised it in front of Zheng Zai's face and kept shaking.

Zheng Zai immediately understood what Ye Ruliudi meant, and he turned to President Konishi and said, "My wife said that she really wants me to take the position of president, and if I take the position of president, it will be proud of me." ”

"Very good, your lady is still knowledgeable and sensible. Hahaha! President Konishi praised Ye Ruliu.

"I also think that my brother should agree to serve as the president, and then the younger brother can follow you in the scenery." Xie Yuan echoed.

"Then Mr. Zheng means ......," Konishi asked Zheng Zai.

"Okay, Zheng is willing to serve." Zheng Zai saw that Ye Ruliu and Xie Yuan both advocated that he agree to serve as the president, so he agreed.

"Very well, then this is settled. Tomorrow night, I will hold a grand inaugural dinner for Mr. Zheng at the Xinlong Inn. I hope that the three of them will appreciate the light. At that time, we will also sign a contract on the processing of cotton clothing. Come, cheers for our future cooperation! President Konishi said happily.

Five people raise their glasses and drink together.

"Later, let my translator talk to you in detail about the details of the processing agreement, and the price will be negotiable." President Konishi said to Zheng Zai.

"Zheng Zai is willing to serve the general!" Zheng Zai used the strength of wine to squeeze out a groveling face. It seems that in order to sign the contract smoothly, he also fought hard.
