Chapter 1430: Murakami

Tsukushi Province is located in the area north of Tsukushi Island, and Natsu Port is part of Tsukushi Province.

A guide on the boat told Xu Xiaofeng directly about them.

"Actually, what he said is, this Tsukushi Island, there used to be a long-term feud with Yamato. Long ago, there were dozens of countries on Tsukushi Island, among which the powerful ones were the slave kingdom and the Yamadai country, and the kingdoms on the eastern island were warring to form the Yamato country.

King Yamato was called Daioh, and later changed his name to Emperor.

However, the king of Tsukushi Island has always been dissatisfied with the king of Yamato, and even a hundred years ago, when the Yamato court sent troops to the Korean Peninsula to stabilize the Renna region, the king of Tsukushi joined forces with Silla to deal with Yamato and Baekje. It was only later that the Yamato Imperial Court sent tens of thousands of troops to conquer Tsukushi.

At that time, Tsukushi-kun Iwai was defeated and killed, and his son was forced to claim the title of vassal and sacrifice land, which allowed Tsukushi to be included in the Yamato Imperial Court again.

At the beginning, Purple Tsukujun Iwai also captured the Toyo Province and the Fire Country, and almost reunified Tsukushi Island, but in the end he did not fight the Yamato Imperial Court.

The current Tsukushi Island has returned to the state of Shikoku, and although the Tsukushi family is still serving as the national leader of Tsukushi Province, its strength is not as good as before.

Not long ago, Su I Mazi returned to the Japanese from Natsu, although Murakami was warmly entertained, but Mazi still ruthlessly told Murakami, the Yamato Imperial Court thought that it was a vassal of the Great Qin, for the Eastern Ying Road, and later the emperor was renamed the Wa King and the East Ying Road Festival Envoy, and he, the original ruling minister, was reappointed as the East Ying Road Left Governor Command Envoy and the Jie Du Envoy Changshi and the General of Zhengyi, and opened the government to set up a curtain.

Tsukushi Island will be changed to Tsukushi-gun, and the original Shikoku will be changed to nine prefectures. Tsukushi Province will be changed to Chikuzen and Chikugo Prefectures. After the Tsukushi Kingdom was divided into two prefectures, the islands of Tsushima and Ichiki, which were originally subordinate to the Tsuku, were to be assigned to the direct jurisdiction of Daqin.

Feiguo and Fengguo are also divided into two counties respectively, of which Feiqian County is basically directly administered by Daqin.

Of course, Murakami was dissatisfied with this decision.

But Su I Mazi did not discuss with him, but informed him that Su I Mazi's prestige in the imperial court, and now that there is Daqin behind him, Murakami is also helpless, but in the end, Su I Mazi told him that in the future, Tsukushi's Natsu Port will become a big trading port, and Mazi promised to grant Murakami the post of Taishou of Tsukushi County.

Under coercion and temptation, in the end, Murakami had no choice but to agree.

Fortunately, the Qin ships came frequently in the future, and they came with a full load of merchant goods, which really made Tsukushi Murakami earn a lot, and made him forget about those unhappiness.

The ship has just docked.

As a result, a large number of Japanese people were already waiting around the shore, and the people sent by Tsukushi Murakami were in the front, and they were ready to pick up the goods first.

Followed by many powerful representatives and Japanese merchants in Najin Port, they all wanted to divide the five ships.

Xu Xiaofeng opened his eyes and looked at it, and he was really taken aback.

I had quietly come to Najin Port last year, but it has only been a year, and how I feel has changed a lot.

Compared with the Central Plains, Najin Port City is not worth mentioning at all, not to mention Penglai, Qingdao, Lushun, Dalian and other big ports in the north, even Guangling, Jiangning, Zhenjiang and other port cities at the mouth of the Yangtze River are far inferior.

Even the ports of Tamna, Pyongyang, and Seoul, which have just been built by the imperial court in recent years, are far behind.

However, the previous Natsu Port was like a small fishing village, but now it looks like it, not to mention, not only has a walled city been built by the port, but there is also a very dangerous mountain city on the mountain not far behind.

This is close to the mountains and the sea, and the port city is connected to the mountain fort, which is already very dangerous.

"Bao Gun, you take a few brothers into the city to explore the situation first." Xu Xiaofeng is very cautious, although now that the Japanese people are attached, Najin Port has also become an important commercial port, and there have been many Qin merchants who have come before, but they still have to be cautious, after all, their Black Flag Regiment has not attacked and looted along the Zizhu coast before, in case the identity of the Black Flag Regiment is exposed, he is still a little worried about the Japanese people coming around.

"What about you, Captain?"

"I'll do a good deal with these Japanese people first, although the Japanese don't have any good things, but they have a lot of gold and silver, and relatively speaking, their gold and silver are much cheaper than those in our Central Plains, let's go back with a batch of them, and we can make a lot of money right away."

"Okay, I'll go into the city and take a look."

The spear smiled and got out of the cabin and greeted the man of fire directly.

The Nine of them are all very clever guys, and they were all scouts when they looted in the past.

"As soon as we go ashore and enter the city, everyone is smart, let's not go to eat, drink and have fun, but to explore the way, remember?"

"Don't worry, Brother Gun, we won't miss the mission."

Someone laughed there, "That's it, I can't delay things, and I've been holding back on the boat for many days, and I want to go ashore to let off steam." ”

"It would be even more refreshing if I could drink some wine and recruit a few widows to accompany me."

Treasure Spear shook his head and disembarked with nine of his men.

The group walked slowly towards the city.

The Japanese city is still relatively small, just like their height, one size smaller everywhere.

The road leading from the port to the city is also very poor, and the road becomes muddy when it rains in this season, and many Japanese people are still stepping on double clogs in the cold.

The group of treasure spears dressed in brocade clothes and carrying knives at their waists seemed to stand out from the crowd among them. When the Japanese saw them, they were a little curious and afraid.

At the city gate, the guards of the Japanese did not intercept and inquire much.

The Japanese guards, dressed in patched cloth clothes, with a hat on their heads, a straight iron knife at their waists, and a bamboo spear in their hands, looked at the treasure spear with envy at the brocade clothes on their bodies and the horizontal knives at their waists.

"We are the Great Qin Maritime Merchant!"

The spear rushed at the guard.

The guard nodded and bent down, "The Heavenly Empire, the Great Qin Maritime Merchant is very good, please come in." ”

Originally, Bao Lance thought that these Japanese people would embarrass them, and they even prepared some copper coins, who knew that this Japanese people were so easy to speak.

"Good, good."

The spear finally took out a handful of copper coins from the money bag, about a dozen, and threw them directly.

"Reward you!"

More than a dozen Kaiyuan Tongbao are very dazzling, round on the outside and square on the inside, slightly cyan.

Several of the soldiers actually grabbed it, and even beat each other, as if the money on the ground was gold.

This made them a little stunned.

It's just a dozen copper coins, which are not valuable, and you can't buy a bucket of rice in Luoyang.

The widow who followed the guide was a little embarrassed and felt ashamed.

"Shangguo Ah Lang doesn't know, my country has no money, usually the transaction is mainly based on silk grain, although there are some gold, silver and copper, but there is no coinage, it is also used for rewards. The coins of Shangguo are very popular in our country, and this Kaiyuan Tongbao is worth a lot of silk grain. ”

When the spear heard this, he grabbed another handful of money from the money bag, and threw about ten of them to the Japanese guide, "Well said, reward!" ”

When the Japanese guide saw the money, his eyebrows and eyes were all smiling.
