In fact, the Military Intelligence Bureau has no intention of returning Mino Pingbei now. If it weren't for the fact that the contradictions between China and Japan did not continue to deteriorate, but continued to get closer and closer in the past ten years, Mino Pingbei would have become a national hero of Japan.

And even now, his prestige in civil and commercial power in Japan is very high.

The Japanese are so urine-like? If Mino Heibei commits suicide in the days of Mitsubishi's bankruptcy, he can become a god. But Mino Heibei did not commit suicide by breaking his stomach because he was not a samurai.

Heibei Mino, who was not a samurai, showed the perseverance and courage of a true samurai in his previous struggle against Made in China, which earned him too much respect in Japan.

Osaka is the most economically powerful city in Japan and has a strong silk weaving industry for Japan. They imported raw materials such as raw silk and cotton from China, processed them into fine silk and cloth of various styles, and sold them all over Japan.

Although the Japanese, or Osaka to be precise, still need to share the profits with their Chinese counterparts, Osaka's prosperity is definitely due to the contribution of this new industry.

Nowadays, the value of labor in Japan is low, and many textile workers are tired and tired for a day, and they do not earn enough food for their families. This incident is enough to reflect the cost of Japan's labor export nowadays, and there is no cost at all.

The income of Japanese textile workers is much lower than that of their Chinese counterparts. A bit of the contrast between American workers and Chinese workers in the early 20th century.

Yang Dewang rolled his eyes, considered the pros and cons, and then said, "I need time to think about this matter." But I am personally very satisfied with Mr. Mino's trust and sincerity. It's just that you know about this, Mr. Mino, that this is not something that I promised to finish alone. All I can say is acknowledging your sincerity. "If Yang Dewang wants to finalize the matter, it must be combined with Gao Categoryi and their relationship with the immigration department.

It's just that Mino Pingbei gave a 3:7 profit share, which made Yang Dewang very tempted.

The Japanese have opened the price to 37 points, so if you really want to talk about it, 28 points is not impossible. And Yang Dewang believes that according to the relationship and popularity of Mino Pingbei in Japan, there is absolutely no problem in terms of 'goods'.

Even if the worker is injured a little bit in the process of 'labor', people can easily hold on.

Yang Dewang was a little moved, but he didn't dare to specialize at this time.

The next step is to go to Edo.

Labor export companies do not occupy much capital, and if they do not build their own immigration ships, they will need very little capital. Therefore, Yang Dewang still had to go to Edo and first inquire about the copper trade that he had been eyeing before. Originally, in addition to this red copper, he was going to take a look at other ways, but now he doesn't need it.

Mino Heibei was well aware of Yang Tokuwang's motives for going to Edo for diplomatic activities, but he was not very interested in it, and as a man who made his fortune on foreign trade, he did not have a good opinion of the city of Edo.

Whether it was when he was a big merchant in the early days, or when he was spinning textiles later, Edo added a lot of trouble to him.

Don't think that the Tokugawa shogunate did its best to support him at the beginning, then the Sumitomo family can also get to the shogun.

He thinks that the city is inhabited by a bunch of stupid and arrogant bastards, and sometimes, the dead old antiques in Kyoto are smarter than them.

However, he was invited by Yang to join him on the road, because Yang had to go to Nagoya first, where the lord of the Owari Domain, one of the three royal families of the Tokugawa family, lived. Overland, Kyoto, an ancient city that has become more and more politically dark, is still one of the centers of gravity of Japan economically. Those public nobles in Kyoto are naturally not qualified to threaten Edo in terms of strength, but in terms of personal friendship, as Mino Heibei thinks, they can more or less give Yang Dewang some help.

The ignorant Yang Dewang had no idea what kind of plan he was getting into now. Emperor Chen was somewhat dissatisfied with the course of the Tokugawa shogunate, and the latter's attack on the Chrysanthemum family, although it had not been cut off over the years, was too weak.

Chen Ming should have changed his attitude now, no longer swayed by the hatred of the Chrysanthemum Family in his heart, and no longer insisted on getting rid of the Chrysanthemum Family.

As long as the Chrysanthemum family existed, the Tokugawa family did not dare to unify the whole of Japan by force, because when the local daimyo were in great danger, they could raise the banner of 'supremacy' and face the shogunate together.

In normal times, though, the Emperor's family was a front for the local daimyos.

But this disguise is really necessary to exist, just like the urinal, of course, when it is not in use, how far is it thrown away, but when it is time to use it? Without it, it's really inconvenient. As long as Japan does not achieve reunification in the true sense, then Japan will not even have the qualifications to threaten China, and it will only be a dog for China forever and forever.

But Chen Ming didn't allow the Chrysanthemum family to wear the 'Emperor' hat and always dangle under his nose.

Chen Ming is not ready to completely destroy the Chrysanthemum Family, but he really wants to take off the hat of the Chrysanthemum Family. The word emperor violated his taboo.

So Sanye Pingbei is responsible for pulling the chrysanthemum family into the water, and when time permits, Sanye Pingbei will personally pour cups of ink into the pool, so that the chrysanthemum family can't wash the stains on their bodies.

Then the Tokugawa shogunate waited for the opportunity to pick out the matter, and Chen Han could kick the hat of 'Emperor' from the head of the Chrysanthemum family into the trench in one fell swoop by virtue of righteousness.

The chrysanthemum family, who lost the emperor's hat, can also be the king of Japan. They could still serve as a banner to guide the powerful daimyo throughout Japan and threaten the rule of the shogunate. Japan is still not able to achieve reunification in the true sense of the word!

But perhaps Japan will enter the 'constitutional monarchy' of the East one step ahead of China.

……

In the port of Smyrna [the ancient name of Izmir], the trees are like forests and the sails cover the sun. Ships from all over the Mediterranean coast converge in this important port of the Celestial World.

Although most of these ships were small sloops or brigs of small tonnage, and some of them were technologically backward and old-fashioned galleys, the rare large ships were generally Italian transports, except for the Ottoman warships, and there were almost no merchant ships flying the British and French flags.

France and the Ottomans had a very traditional friendship - the Bourbons, the two countries were formally allied more than a hundred years ago, and at that time caused an uproar in Europe, but the proud French did not care about the eyes of others and still went their own way.

So much so that John III of the Polish-Lithuanian United Kingdom had to abandon his alliance with France in order to fight the Ottoman Empire, and instead allied with the Holy Roman Empire led by Austria against the Franco-Turkish alliance dominated by the Sun King.

However, with the fall of the Bourbons, the British launched a naval blockade of France, and French merchant ships could no longer travel frequently between the east and west of the Mediterranean.

But the most striking thing in the port of Smyrna today is neither the Egyptian merchant ships that arrived laden with cargo, nor the Italian city-states that had begun to contract the Ottoman Mediterranean shipping business in place of the French, but a fleet that seemed to have just returned from naval warfare. The size of this fleet was very large, and there were as many as 30 ships, all of which were large ships except for a few small ones. Although the small fifth-class sail warship also has a displacement of seven or eight hundred tons, this is not a small ship in the large bathtub of the Mediterranean.

Apart from these small ships, the most striking are the two- and triple-deck sail battleships.

Twenty-five years ago, during the Fifth Russo-Turkish War, Catherine II sent the Russian Baltic Fleet to the Aegean Sea in order to expand Russia's sphere of influence in the Black Sea.

- A powerful fleet of 16 battleships.

For so many years, the Ottomans have not been able to completely restore their Mediterranean fleet.

On the contrary, the Black Sea Fleet, which is constantly under increasing pressure, is constantly reinforced and reinforced.

But even so, after the war began, the Ottoman navy was also defeated one after another.

So much so that even the one-third of an acre of land at the door of his house was remembered by the British.

Fortunately, a few years ago, in the Sixth Russo-Turkish War, the Ottoman Empire won, and the pressure on the north was much lessened. That's when I really took out my energy to take care of the Aegean Sea at my doorstep and take care of the Eastern Mediterranean.

The warships they ordered from China this time are to be replenished to the Mediterranean Fleet. And Smyrna, on the eastern Mediterranean coast, is not inferior to Alexandria's large port, and is also one of the garrisons of the Ottoman warships.

More than a dozen warships, large and small, docked in the harbor, and the number of gun windows of these warships was so dense that people were immediately frightened when they saw it. What shocked the Ottomans even more was the scars on these powerful warships.

In the waters of Malta, all the ships, including the Li Guang, are roughly repaired, and if you want all the warships to be repaired in good condition, you must go to a professional repair shop.

At that time, the Ottoman Mediterranean Fleet had 16 capital ships, the largest of which was 84 guns on board, that is, a second-class sail battleship. But in the fleet that has arrived now, the figure of the Ottoman I's sail battleship is undoubtedly much larger than before.

With such a powerful warship, how many of Europe's maritime powers can there be?

But it is precisely because of the strength of these warships that such powerful warships have suffered such trauma, and what kind of difficulties and dangers have they encountered on the journey to the port of Smyrna?

Nearly every one of the ships in the fleet, including the merchant ones, had some scars, and the worst of the three rank sail battleships seemed to be barely able to make it here, and the broken masts and hulls were in dire need of replacement.

Under the command of several Ottoman pilots, the fleet ships slowly docked in a dedicated berth area. There is a large ship repair yard there. Ships go directly to the ship for emergency repairs, and the convoy begins to unload as soon as it docks on the shore, and after unloading, it also opens the shipyard for repairs.

Especially the warships, which are the focus of repair, will be heading for Istanbul later. When they arrive in Istanbul, they must have a beautiful appearance.

Ottoman ship mechanics climbed onto the deck with tools and used the ship's pulley crane to lift many of the heavy planks up so that they could be replaced during repairs. The Wehrmacht sailors and Ottoman officers and soldiers on board, except for the necessary personnel left behind, all went down to the docks in the port area to eat, drink and have fun.

Ottoman I and Li Guang were the first to be given priority, and they were arranged for repairs in the first batch.

The former was the flagship of the future Ottoman Mediterranean fleet, and the latter was the flagship of the Chinese transport fleet. All of them have important representative significance.

China and Spain have officially gone to war.

Although Nanjing was not aware of the fighting in the Mediterranean Sea at this time, war was not declared between the two countries at all. But the war began from the moment the fleet was intercepted by the Spaniards in the Strait of Gibraltar.

The Ottomans, according to the treaty with China, naturally declared war on Spain as well.

Therefore, in the future, the Mediterranean Sea will be completely boiling.

After the Chinese escort fleet had regained its combat effectiveness, they could set out from Crete and attack the Spanish fleet west of Tunisia.

The Spanish detachment did not stay in Tunisia for long, because Tunisia belonged to the Ottoman Empire, and after the Ottoman Empire declared war on Spain, the Spanish warships would definitely withdraw from the Tunis Strait.

The naval power there was left with the British.

Although the main focus of the British Mediterranean detachment at this time must have been on blockading the French coast and dealing with the war in northern Italy, the Ottoman Empire was not in a position to draw a line in the Mediterranean, saying that the territory from here to the east was my decision.

It was not until the autumn of that year that Chen Ming received urgent news from the Office of the European Affairs Office - the Spanish Navy had attacked the Austrian fleet.

There is no doubt that another Sino-Spanish war has begun.

Chen Ming knew why Madrid would allow the navy to attack China's fleet, and they couldn't stand the small moves that China had made in the Americas.

Perhaps in the eyes of the magnates in Madrid, another war between China and the West will break out sooner or later.

Then they might as well strike first.

Chen Ming gave the order to go to war, and then his eyes focused on Mexico.

A map of the Americas was hung in the Qianqing Palace, and all the forces in the Americas were clearly marked on it.

The lighthouse nation, which had just been independent for a few years, existed on the east coast of North America like a copy of Chile.

Of course, they are a lot wider than Chile.

The entire west coast of North America has been rendered in red, and the topographic map of Central America is like a kick from a leg, starting from Xiangzhou [Alaska] to Mexico, and the kick extends from the west coast of North America to the Gulf of Mexico.

Today, the Spaniards are still the largest in the Americas, but they are like a big fat man who is weak, big and weak. Even Lao Mei, who had just become independent, was stronger than the power of Spanish America.

Taking advantage of the fact that the British and French could not take care of the Americas, Chen Ming wanted to tear off a piece of meat from Spain. Chen Ming's eyes were fixed on Florida, which is also a treasure of feng shui, but it is too close and too close to the lighthouse country, and it would not be wonderful if the lighthouse country took advantage of it.
