Chapter 238: The Messenger
The purpose of registration is not to restrict the entry of foreigners, but to make it traceable that anyone can enter the Far Eastern Kingdom, but foreigners must be monitored to prevent illegal incidents.
When Taro Takeda entered the guesthouse where he was staying, he listened attentively and heard everyone talking about the situation in Sapporo.
Of course, Taro Takeda of Sapporo has also heard that it is where the southern Ainu tribe is located, and it used to be a primitive wilderness, and listening to everyone's discussion, it seems that it has changed a lot now, and it has become the capital of the Far Eastern Kingdom.
"You know what! I heard that there are a large number of shops for rent or sale in Sapporo. ”
"Know! Know! I heard that the houses there are made of bricks and cement, which is very strong, and no typhoon or earthquake can damage the houses, and I also heard that the houses there have underfloor heating in winter, which is as warm as spring, which is the best for winter. ”
Many of these merchants, Takeda Taro knew them, and when he saw their elated appearance, he had a stomach full of doubts, so he asked aloud: "Everyone, don't you have an aversion to the so-called Far Eastern Kingdom?" I know all of you, you are all Japanese people, all of you are the people of His Majesty the Emperor, and the establishment of the Far Eastern Kingdom is a rebellious act, do you have no objection? ”
"Hahahaha, it turned out to be Takeda-kun, you are Japanese, of course you think so, but we are from the Far Eastern Kingdom, why should we oppose it? Wouldn't it be better to be a citizen of the Far East? ”
Hahahaha......
The man's answer caused the entire crew to burst into laughter, as if Taro Takeda had asked a silly question.
"You ......"
Taro Takeda was angry, he was isolated by everyone, and he felt that it was difficult to argue, so he waved his sleeves and went back to the hotel room with a red face.
"Haha! Poor Takeda-kun, he still thinks that there is something to be proud of in Japan! ”
The ridicule from behind made Takeda Taro even more angry, and in the following days, he was not in a hurry to buy Ezo Island souvenirs, but focused on inquiring about the secrets of the so-called Far Eastern Kingdom.
This is a terrible understanding, it turns out that Ezo Island has been occupied by a group of forces far away from the Ming Dynasty, not the Matsumae Domain is establishing itself as king.
The most strange thing is that Fukuyama Castle does not have any garrisons, and it is still managed by Heren, and in a few days, all he has seen are Heren, but they are all willing to be ruled by external forces, and they seem to be proud.
He had questioned them more than once, but each time he was met with ridicule, and it was the first time he had seen him when it came to them.
When he wanted to buy the fur catch, he found that it was different, the original primary fur catch was gone, and all the products had been processed twice or three times.
The fur has been well nitrated, and the size of the fur is well graded, each skin is soft and bright, the color is bright, and the start is slippery, which is a rare and high-quality color.
Some are carefully made into various fur products, such as fur collars, fur coats, leather boots, leather gloves, leather hats and so on.
In addition to dried fish, there is also a so-called canned food, which can be eaten immediately, and he has tasted it himself, and it tastes great.
This is a new way of trade, in fact, it is more convenient for merchants like Taro Takeda, as mentioned earlier, the people who do these leather processing in Japan are untouchables, and Taro Takeda and other merchants do not dare to do it, and it is more convenient for them to have ready-made products.
Taro Takeda bought a certain amount of Ezo souvenirs and left, and the news that Ezo Island had been established as a separate country was transmitted back to Japan.
The news cannot be locked, and Yang Wenli is not afraid of Japan, so he did not block the exchanges between the two places, and it will take a short time for this matter to reach the top of the shogunate, and it is unknown what the shogunate will do next.
In fact, earlier there was a fleet sailing to China under the order of Yang Wenli, and the wind and waves were high along the way, and the hardships suffered were self-evident, but after all, it was an inland sea voyage, and the risk of the fleet was not high, so the fleet still arrived in China safely.
Because they are all 400 warships, the fleet can directly enter the Yangtze River without changing ships.
Naturally, there were officers and soldiers patrolling along the way, but the fleet had a customs defense seal letter personally surveyed and issued by Yang Wenli, which was the black armor army of Changsheng Island in the Ming Dynasty, so it was unimpeded along the way, and it arrived in Qizhou.
This time there is no need to go to Maoshan, the fleet docked directly at Guanyao Town, and only Yang Lichun, the leader of the entire fleet, knew about Happy Valley, and he ordered his subordinates not to go ashore casually, and if there were many troubles, he led his slave soldiers to rush to Happy Valley Ridge in person.
Because they were lightly armed and heavily armed soldiers, they didn't say anything all the way, and in two days, they rushed back to Happy Valley.
"Stop, what are you doing?" Although they were all dressed in black armor, when they arrived at the gate of the cottage, the guards still dutifully stepped forward to interrogate.
"We are from Liaodong, and we are the messengers sent back by the big boss, and we want to see the old lady and the second lady, please inform us."
Yang Wenli's title of commander or king is the name of Changsheng Island in Liaodong, and everyone in Happy Valley naturally doesn't know, so Yang Lichun still uses the title of Yang Wenli's former boss.
"The others are waiting here, you can come with me to see the old lady and the second lady!"
The guard officer saw that the other party was familiar with the inside story of the cottage, and he no longer suspected it, so he agreed to allow Yang Lichun to enter the cottage alone.
"Thanks! Brothers. Yang Lichun bowed and thanked him.
The old lady is still alive, she now lives a stable life, ignores cottage things, worships the Buddha wholeheartedly, has a very peaceful mentality, and has no quarrel with the world, so her body is also healthy and healthy.
Although the old lady ignores mundane matters, of course, the messenger sent by the big boss is naturally the first person to see her.
Happy Valley was originally an ancient temple, and the old lady occupied a side hall as a Buddhist hall, and the thing was returned to its original owner.
Dangdangdang......
In the sound of wooden fish beating, the old lady's maid Xiaohong reported softly: "Old lady, the big boss has sent someone back and is asking to see him outside. ”
"What? Li'er sent someone back? Call him in quickly. ”
The old lady, who had been dedicated to worshipping the Buddha, was suddenly in turmoil, and she said in a trembling voice, looking very excited.
"Yes," Xiaohong replied and hurriedly went out to spread the word.
After a while, Yang Lichun followed Xiaohong to the temple, and when he saw the old lady who was still ruddy, he knelt down and said, "Villain Yang Lichun, meet the old lady." ”
"Hurry up, I'm a bad old woman, how can I deserve such a big gift and break my old body."
"Tell the old lady, the villain first gave you the old goodbye, now the big boss has become the king of a country, and the old lady is also the queen mother, and anyone who sees you has to pay a big respect." Yang Lichun still kowtowed.
What do you mean by that? Tell me more about it. The old lady was taken aback when she heard this, did Li'er really do that? In her heart, it was like fifteen buckets of water were seven up and eight down, so she said quickly.
"Tell the Queen Mother, it's like this......"
Yang Liren started from the departure of the Black Armor Army from Maoshan, and told the old lady the cause and effect of the incident in 1510.
