Chapter 395: The Iwami Incident (I)

I don't know how the people knew, but the folk newspaper "Minsheng Daily" of the Great Song Dynasty suddenly published a news, saying that Dayuan intended to sell Bianliang Road to the Great Song Dynasty------ this news immediately aroused heated discussions among the people.

Island Master Zhang was furious when he saw it, this old dog Jia was making trouble again!

Previously, news came from his Yalu River naval base that several merchants of the Great Song Dynasty had sent a large number of strategic materials to Goryeo for free!

Zhang immediately understood that this must be Jia Pingzhang's way of doing things------ where do private businessmen have the habit of giving others things for nothing?!

At that time, Zhang Daozhu looked at the material reports, and he himself was a little distressed, this was all given to the Goryeo Kingdom for nothing, in comparison, he seemed to be a little stingy.

However, he still agrees with Jia Pingzhang's method, let them fight, it's best to fight to the death.

However, the wind penetrated by "Minsheng Daily" is not right, does Jia Laogou want to make peace with Kublai Khan in private? ?

Maybe the people of the Great Song Dynasty can't understand it, but Jia Laogou's method is like a pediatrics in the eyes of Zhang Daozhu.

He has seen too many things to let the wind go first and then implement it.

Zhang Daozhu immediately asked the editor-in-chief Yang Youxing to write a secret letter to Jia Laogou for himself, pointing out the current situation, thinking that the Tatar robbers only had one breath left, even if the Great Song Dynasty did not send troops during the national mourning period, but as long as it dragged on, the Tatar bandit group would soon collapse, the reason is very simple, their group is formed by interests, and it will inevitably end because of the loss of interests!

Don't covet the merits of Tokyo City and fund the enemy, if they are gasped, they will inevitably be the enemy of the Great Song Dynasty!

Zhang also analyzed the truth that the Tatars would never be friends with the Great Song Dynasty from the concept of life and the form of social organization.

The Tatars are naturally the enemies of all civilizations!

Well, Zhang Daozhu thinks that he has explained all the truth, and look at Jia Laogou's reaction.

Jia Laogou's reply said that the Great Song Dynasty was only an expedient measure, mainly to pity the lives of the Han people in the north------ there was a great famine.

Although Jia Laogou was hinting that Da Song and Da Yuan would have a battle sooner or later, Zhang still thought that he was personally greedy for the credit of recovering Tokyo City!

Island Master Zhang is no longer angry, he understands that this is called the realm.

In the history of this nation, or after history, decisions that are more bizarre than Jia Laogou will come out------ and the owner of Zhang Island wants to influence them in a way that touches the world, which is really an overestimation of himself.

Wang Defa said: "Can't we find a better agent? ”

Zhang Daozhu said: "We have gone through the history books, and we have also searched through the list of hundreds of officials, and even the list of Tai students, which line do you see?"

You saw Wen Tianxiang's appearance, Fa Ke is mainly used in the military, Chen Yizhong will only drill the camp by himself------ Lu military group is addicted to growing cotton, and so are Li Tingzhi and Zhang Shijie!

Lu Xiufu's starting point is too low, and what is the use of people who will only commit suicide when they encounter danger?!

Those seventy or eighty-year-old ministers are either too old, or they will only rule the country by virtue! ”

This is a true fact, except for Jia Laogou, I really can't find a suitable one.

Zhang Island Master asked Yang Youxing, the editor-in-chief, to bring out the story of Zhang Yi's discord in history in the "Liuqiu Times" and tell a special story.

Of course, he knew that it was impossible for Jia Laogou not to know this allusion, and he was just making a final effort.

At this time, something unexpected happened.

Another incident occurred in Iwami Province, Japan.

As mentioned earlier, in this time and space, Iwami Province was originally an inconspicuous and impoverished area.

However, since the people of New Oriental Company came here to open a mine for Zhang, within a few years it has become a famous place in Japan, and its reputation is no less than that of Hakata Bay.

Iwami Province is subordinate to Yama** and is the westernmost of the eight kingdoms of Yama**.

It is bounded by Izumo Province and Bigo Province to the east, Shuho Province to the southwest, Nagato Province to the west, Aki Province to the south, and Whale Sea to the north.

The Chugoku Mountains at the southern tip of the country are the dividing line with the Sanyodo provinces, and the mountains stretch all the way to the sea, and only the Yoshida Plain is formed in the Takatsugawa River basin.

The country has had frequent exchanges with the Sanyo countries since ancient times, and its culture has been influenced by neighboring Izumo, and has been influenced by San'in, Sanyo, and Kitakyushu.

The caretaker of the country was the Ouchi clan, the imperial family of the Kamakura shogunate.

Originally, the Ouchi clan had the smallest power among the eight kingdoms of the mountain, and was often bullied by the Maori family of Aki Province.

However, with the stationing of the security department of the New Oriental Company, coupled with the secret support of the Japanese stormtroopers behind the back of Zhang Island, the Ouchi family quickly stiffened their waists.

The last time the low-ranking samurai were put down in turmoil, this is proof.

Wen's is headed by the Ouchi family, and Wu's is borrowed by the security department of New Oriental Company from the Ouchi family.

It's okay at the beginning.,Other families who want to take advantage of the surrounding area don't have a temper.。

However, as Iwami's fame grew, he finally caught the attention of Hojo Tokimune, the 27-year-old ruler of the Kamakura shogunate.

Iwami Province is now not only the only whaling destination in all of Japan, but also the largest port of trade with Ryuki Island.

In just a few years, the pier has become the largest and busiest dock in Japan.

Every year, 100,000 tons of silver ore are transported from Liuqiu Island, and what the Japanese don't know is that it is high-grade ore with a silver content of up to 200 grams per ton!

Of course, the island is rewarded with a variety of goods that Japan needs.

For example, white paper, which is a necessity that needs to be pasted because of the Japanese-style opening door, can basically be sold as much as you want.

Whale skin, sea salt and cotton cloth, cotton linen, and cornmeal and snow sugar.

The Japanese merchants who came here were very cunning, and after comparing the trade in porcelain and silk, they still thought that the Great Song Dynasty produced well, which had to make the merchants of Liuqiu Island sell their coarse porcelain and cassava silk cheaply.

There is a rumor in Japan that the local peasants of Iwami Province were able to use porcelain and wear silk, which is not an exaggeration.

In the early days of Kamakura, the shogunate followed the policy of the previous ruler Heiji, and recognized the free trade of the private sector, and Japan's maritime trade gradually developed.

By now, the Kamakura shogunate had also begun to send its own maritime merchants to develop maritime trade.

Japan's trade was originally managed by Dazaifu, which designated the coast in front of Korokan as a trading port. After the ships entered the port, the imperial court gave priority to the purchase of the things needed in the palace, and then traded them with the private sector, and the price was also set by the government.

In the Kamakura period, the estates of powerful nobles and temples expanded throughout the country, and they had the right not to lose or to enter.

Many foreign maritime merchants took advantage of this opportunity to moor their ships in the ports under the jurisdiction of the manor, avoiding Dazaifu and conducting secret trade directly with the lord of the manor.

For example, on the coasts of Kyushu, such as Hakata Bay and Iwami Province, there were many secret trading ports based on manors, and Korokan was gradually abandoned.

As a result, trading in trading ports such as Iwami, Hakata, and Hakozaki flourished, and of course many maritime merchants stayed here for a long time.

This is a situation where the place is rich and the shogunate is poor!
