Chapter 598: This Dutchman Is Too Annoying

Qi Yun's firm did not have any foundation in the Wa Kingdom, whether it was to purchase goods or recruit the warriors of the Wa Kingdom, they could not do without the help of the locals, and now the person who can help is naturally Li Guozhu.

When Chen Yue sent Fu Chun to Hirado Island to find Li Guosuke, Li Guozhu was not in Hirado, but went to Nagasaki.

The Qiyun Firm was expelled from Nagasaki, but the goods it carried were still the most scarce things in the Wa Kingdom, and these were entrusted to Li Guosuke, who spent most of this time in Nagasaki to meet with the merchants of the Wa Kingdom.

When Li Guo's assistant came to Nagasaki from Hirado and said that Chen Gongzi had sent someone to find him, Li Guozhu just needed to report to Chen Yue about the trade and left his residence in Nagasaki.

Who knew that on the way to the port to board the ship, he was stopped by a couple of Dutchmen.

"Mr. Armand, is there anything you can do?" Li Guozhu asked with a smile.

Armand was the leader of the Dutch fleet, and when the soldiers of the Qiyun Merchant attacked the fleet, he happened to be enjoying himself at the Dutch Merchant House, and narrowly escaped capture.

When he knew that his two armed sailing ships were forcibly occupied by the Ming, Armand was furious and wanted to settle accounts with the people of the Qiyun Firm, but there were not many people in the Dutch Merchant House, let alone any weapons, and the ship was seized again, so even if he wanted to settle accounts with the Qiyun Firm, he could not get it.

In desperation, Armand had no choice but to go to the officials of Nagasaki and put pressure on them to punish Qiyun Firm.

Shimazu Masao, an official in Nagasaki, the administrator of the Wa Shogunate, said to Armand that the reason for this incident was that the Dutch had robbed the Ming Dynasty's maritime merchants without permission, which provoked the Ming people's revenge. And in order to punish the Ming people for daring to fight privately in Nagasaki Port, he has ordered the expulsion of the Ming people involved in the incident, Qiyun Firm, from Nagasaki Port.

Armand was dissatisfied with the Japanese officials' answers, but he was helpless. The Dutch were not strong enough to threaten the Japanese government, and in order to avoid being expelled from the Japanese market, Armand did not dare to be rude to Shimazu Masao.

So, the matter can only be resolved like this, and I can only wait until I return to the big man to think about revenge against Mingren. But if you endure it like this, Armand is very unwilling, and when he heard that Li Guozhu was actually selling goods for the Qiyun firm, Armand couldn't help but intercept Li Guozhu.

"Lee, are you going to be an enemy of my Dutch Republic?" Armand asked with a grim face. He speaks Dutch, but Li Guozhu does know Dutch when dealing with Dutch people all year round.

"Mr. Armand, why do you say that? How dare I be your enemy. Li Guozhu explained with a smile, "You are talking about the sale of goods to Qiyun Firm, you also know that I am a businessman, if I don't do business, I will have no food, originally we will not put aside you and cooperate with others, but who told you that you don't have any goods for me this year!" ”

"Li, you know that I am not talking about this matter, but that you used the Qiyun Merchant as a spy to spy on the intelligence on our ship, you just left during the day, and the Qiyun Merchant attacked our sailing ship at night, you and the Qiyun Merchant are basically in the same group!"

Armand held out a finger and pointed at Li Guozhu's nose and reprimanded.

Looking at the fingers pointed to his nose, the smile on Li Guozhu's face retracted, he can be regarded as a wealthy man in Shanghai, with a huge amount of money, how could he have been treated so rudely.

Stretching out his hand to push Armand's fingers away, Li Guozhu said unhappily: "Mr. Armand, let's talk well, don't point fingers, okay?" ”

Armand didn't care about Li Guozhu's feelings, and continued to point at Li Guozhu's nose and said, "Li, you'd better be careful, you offended us Dutch, and you will regret it!" ”

The muscles on Li Guozhu's face twitched, and looking at the finger pointing at his nose, endless anger suddenly appeared in his heart. Thinking about the fact that Chen Yue, the Duke of Qi, heard that the Dutch robbed his compatriots and directly sent troops to attack, Li Guozhu's heart rose with enthusiasm, the Dutch, you are used to robbing my Ming businessmen everywhere, and you actually provoked Lao Tzu, what Qi Guogong can do, I, Li Guozhu, am not bad!

Li Guozhu suddenly stretched out his right hand, grabbed Armand's finger like lightning, and then pinched it hard, and a crisp sound of "click" sounded, followed by a terrible scream.

"Damn, Lao Tzu is polite to you, don't think I'm afraid of you, and then dare to point fingers at Lao Tzu and discount your doglegs!" Li Guozhu pointed to Armand who was jumping on his feet with broken fingers and scolded.

"Ahh Someone, kill him for me! Armand clenched his fingers, wept in pain, and commanded his men in a loud voice.

At Almande's order, several Dutchmen who followed him drew their swords at their waists and surrounded them.

Not to be outdone, Li Guozhu's men rushed up to resist the Dutch, blocking Li Guozhu behind. As a giant merchant of the Japanese Kingdom, Li Guo had many assistants, including several Japanese samurai, who pulled out their narrow katana and pointed at the Dutch, just waiting for Li Guozhu to give an order.

Anyway, there is a feud, or take the opportunity to slaughter these Dutch? A thought rose in Li Guozhu's heart. Just as he was about to give the order to be put into effect, the sound of a "beep" conch sounded, and a group of Japanese soldiers rushed over, separating the two sides.

"What's going on?" Shimazu Masao, an official of the Wakuni shogunate, came out in line, looked at the two sides of the confrontation and asked.

"Mr. Shimazu, Li is going to commit murder, you see he got my fingers." Armand held up his broken finger and said aggrievedly to Shimazu.

"Shimazu-kun, don't listen to his nonsense. He provoked this on his own initiative, and I was about to take a boat back to Hirado, and he led someone to intercept and abuse me, and I had no choice but to fight back. ”

Li Guosuke took a sip of Armand and turned to Shimazu Masao.

Maybe the effect of the large gift has not disappeared, seeing that Li Guosuke Shimazu Masao's face softened, he ordered someone to pull the crowd watching the port over a few times to inquire about it, and roughly understand what happened.

"Armand, this matter arose because you intercepted Li Guozhujun, and I know the reason for the matter. I warn you, don't make any more trouble in Nagasaki, or I'll expel you!" Shimazu scolded Armand in a loud voice.

"I protest, I'm the victim, Mr. Shimazu, you can't take sides with Akito!" Armand clasped his hands in protest, but Shimazu ignored him at all.

"Guozhujun, you can go on the boat, if he dares to harass you again, I will not be polite to him." Shimazu Masao respectfully said to Li Guosuke.

Li Guozhu bowed slightly at Shimazu Masao and boarded the ship with his men.

On the boat, looking at Armand who was gritting his teeth at him on the dock, Li Guozhu beckoned a confidant.

"This Dutchman is so annoying, I want to kill him!"

"Yes, Master Li!" The subordinate agreed.
