"Bang!"

The door of Robert's office was rudely pushed open by the representative of the Dutch East India Company, Deckermar, and Robert, who was leisurely sipping a cup of black tea, was frightened and his hands trembled, and a whole cup of black tea poured him all over his body. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

“why？”

Robert looked in surprise at the breathless Deckerma, whose face was red and bloody, with a layer of sweat on his forehead, and a big red nose breathing heavily. The whole thing seemed nervous, excited and a little hesitant.

"Chen, Qing, He, dead!"

"Who?" Who is Chen Qinghe? Robert exclaimed.

"The deputy envoy of the Chinese mission to Japan, Chen Qinghe, was assassinated in Kyoto, Japan. He and two of his attachés were drunken and had their necks cut off by the Japanese. ”

"Boom......" Robert stood up suddenly, and the fruit bowl with the snack in his hand was knocked over to the ground. God, are the Japanese crazy? Are they going to provoke their own war with China? ”

Dequelmar is really bad, he just received the news from Japan, his brain is confused, and his heart has to stop beating. On the one hand, he quickly asked people to report to Mr. Ambassador in Nanjing, and on the other side he came to look for Robert.

Japan was an important link in the chain of the overall interests of the Dutch East India Company, and if Japan went to war with China, it would be a disaster for the Netherlands.

"Crazy, the Japanese are crazy......" The deputy envoy of the assassination of the Chinese mission, Robert could fully imagine how angry he would be when Chinese he learned the news. If this happened to the Kingdom of Great Britain, the whole of London would erupt in endless flames of rage.

"Peel, is war between Japan and China inevitable?"

It seemed that the kick just now had vented all the pressure of Dequelmar, and at this moment the senior business of the Dutch East India Company, the representative of the company in China, sat down on a sofa with a decadent look. Deckerma's heavy body pressed the couch to the point where she let out an overwhelmed moan.

Unless the Japanese can quickly hand over the murderer and then agree to the Chinese's advice one after another...... "Those opinions will obviously make the Japanese very uncomfortable."

No one doubted that it was the Chinese mission that took it upon itself to kill Chen Qinghe and his two equally damned attachés.

Now Japan, the whole of Japan has been directly detonated by this news. Many 'hot-blooded' brainless people are awe-inspiring, but more wise people are like mourning.

Robert didn't know what to do anymore, he had never coped with anything like this. He was still reading the newspaper a moment ago, and the "Jinling News" reported that the Chinese migrant fleet had arrived at Belitung Island, where after a short rest, the migrant fleet would cross the Sunda Strait and sail to the southern hemisphere, to what the Chinese call Nanmingzhou. And the Kingdom of Great Britain is likely to reach a solid chain of interests with China on the issue of New South Wales.

But the next moment, this huge problem fell in front of him.

"The news will soon spread throughout China. What ...... we can't change"

Now all they can do is wait, watch the news detonate the whole of China, and watch how China reacts. Robert, of course, made a favorable suggestion to De Quelmar: "Go and contact the ambassador in Nanking, and decide whether the Netherlands wants to condemn this barbaric act of Japan before the news is published in the Chinese press." ”

Robert could not guarantee that the Chinese would not spread this fire on the heads of the Dutch, who let the Dutch become so entangled with Japan?

Although in Europe the Dutch were at odds with France and vaguely dissatisfied with the British domineering approach, in the Far East they were still in absolute alliance. The sudden Great Leap Forward of the Chinese, crossing the South Seas into the 'Nanmingzhou', was not only a heavy pressure on the British, but also for the Dutch in Batavia.

Just before the Dutch sent the news to Shanghai, Chen Ming had already gotten the news one step earlier. There was nothing wrong with the plan. As for the death of Chen Qinghe and his two attachés, Chen Ming did not have the slightest mercy. These three should have died a long time ago.

He is now more concerned with the movements of the Japanese and the reaction within Japan.

If the Japanese people can make a spark and make more drastic moves, then Japan will be in an even more disadvantageous situation in the exchange at the national level.

Chen Ming stood in front of the map of Japan, and the entire Dongying Islands were like a worm in China's mouth, but it was a pity that China not only did not eat this insect for 2,000 years, but also taught this little apprentice to be BT.

The Battle of Korea in the late Ming Dynasty was the second official challenge this meat worm launched against China after the Battle of Baijiangkou.

The monkey's grand wish made Chen Ming feel very funny, I really don't know how this absurd wish was born? Why is Toyotomi Hideyoshi so confident?

Is it because of the Ming Dynasty's 1200-year-long Wako Rebellion? Let the Japanese underestimate the Central Plains?

Although Chen Ming was very aware of the threat of the Japanese nation in his heart, he even suppressed the urge to wash Tokyo in blood early in his heart, and decided to train this vicious dog to be a loyal dog of his own. But he still wants to get Japan out of his bones.

What a rare thing it is? He also laid down the country himself and overthrew the Manchu Qing. Under such conditions, don't you make a mess of Japan, and he has a lot of things?

This thought was buried deep in Chen Ming's heart, mixed with his idea of training in Japan, and I don't know when 'knocking and knocking' Japan became a very direct reaction for him.

Wu Zetian once said that there are three things to tame a horse: an iron whip, an iron hammer, and a dagger. whip it with iron; If they are not satisfied, they will use a hammer to hammer; If he was still not satisfied, he killed it with a dagger.

The national character of the Japanese has been formed, and Chen Ming feels that although Japan in this era is not as 'mature' as that of later generations, it has already exuded the same atmosphere. Therefore, it is not feasible to blindly treat Japan with gentle methods, so it is necessary to do it ruthlessly, beat it hard, and then give a date, and Japan will be obedient.

Thinking about it calmly, Chen Ming didn't know how much of his thoughts came from the subjective will of 'fighting Japan'.

But whoever made him emperor now, he has the power to do things according to his own will and to dominate them.

Now is not the time to start a fight with the Japanese, because this is an 'emergency', so the Chinese side will not notify the shogunate." Eight or nine times out of ten, the Tokugawa shogunate, who was short of breath, had to kneel, and because of the issue of succeeding the emperor, the Kyoto side, which had not handled the relationship with the Tokugawa shogunate, would have to kneel even more as long as China really did it.

This time, Chen Ming is going to shake the foundation of the Japanese emperor, he can't move the name of the Japanese emperor, and he has to change Kyushu Island. This can be described as an insult to the whole of Japan, and it is best if the Satsuma clan on the island of Kyushu is unwilling, or the Hizen clan can also be added, and then they can be properly fed.

Nagasaki, Mitsui Bank branch.

Mitsui Stone sent off another customer with a tired face, and the smile full of smiles quickly turned into indifference that was colder than winter after the guest left.

When the news of the assassination of the Chinese deputy envoy and two attachés in Kyoto reached Nagasaki, Nagasaki, Japan's largest and only foreign trade port, immediately erupted like a volcano, and the whole city became furious.

Mino Heibei rushed here as soon as possible to ask Mitsuishi if the news was true, and then the two of them scolded the murderer in Mitsuishi's office.

Nagasaki, this is Nagasaki.

If there was a war between China and Japan, Edo Bay might outweigh the disaster, so how could Nagasaki survive?

Many Chinese businessmen have closed their doors. Mino Pingbei has reason to be angry, and he is really angry. Did the Japanese get water in their heads? He even assassinated the Chinese mission and cut off the heads of the deputy envoy and his attaché. This is death!

Mitsuishi was even angrier. Because he could tell with his toes how much impact the news would have on the stock exchange run by the Mitsui family.

Then Mitsuishi didn't have a chance to worry anymore, because countless people flocked to the Nagasaki branch of Mitsui Bank to withdraw money. Just like many people take the yen and go to the branch of the Bank of Japan, which is not far from the Nagasaki branch of the Mitsui Bank, to exchange gold and silver.

It's been four days.

Mitsui Bank's business hours have been shortened from 10 hours to 4 hours. Nine to eleven in the morning and two to four in the afternoon.

There is no way to shorten the business period, and the Nagasaki branch does not dare to guarantee that its deposit will be sufficient to cover the withdrawal. Mitsuishi has already negotiated a loan with all the people he has contacted. He must survive the run or the bank's credibility will be fatally damaged. However, there were too few people willing to lend a helping hand at this time, and many more people took the opportunity to withdraw large sums of money from the Nagasaki branch, just like the customers he had sent out before.

These scumbags!

The anger in Mitsuishi's eyes could directly crush the person just now if it was lethal.

So at this time, if the murderer who killed in Kyoto appeared in front of Mitsui Stone, he would definitely be cut into sashimi by Mitsui Stone and eaten raw without hesitation with wasabi soy sauce.

Mitsuishi now can't imagine what the stock exchange in Edo will be like.

This sudden blow directly hit the Mitsui family's life.

Outside the Nagasaki branch. "The Mitsui family is really strong...... Mito Kogoro said with a sigh as he looked at the Mitsui Bank, which was still in business. On the other hand, the Nagasaki branch of the Bank of Japan has now stopped exchanging gold and silver.

"Let's go. Let's go up. ”

Mito Kogoro was followed by four bodyguards with katanas, and he carried a large wooden box in his own hands. It can hold a full 500,000 yen.

"Mito-kun, please take me to convey the Mitsui family's thanks to Mino-kun. The Mitsui family will never forget this kindness. ”

Mino Heibei is really worthy of being a loyal partner of the Mitsui family, and at this critical juncture, he sent a full 500,000 yen to the Mitsui family. The box was opened, and the five hundred bundles of banknotes were stacked neatly. Mitsuishi's office was filled with a sense of humor. It's like a glass of ice water in the summer, so that the entire Mitsui stone, which is on the verge of melting, immediately returns to the safety line.

Although Mino Heibei only lent a helping hand on the fourth day of the crisis, when the Nagasaki branch of Mitsui Bank was almost exhausted, no one in the Mitsui Stone, the Mitsui family, would mind this.

After this incident, Mino Heibei is the most trusted partner of the Mitsui family.

Mito Kogoro soon returned to Mino Heibei's residence and told Mino Heibei about the whole story.

"The line outside the Nagasaki branch is a mile away." Mito Kogoro had never seen such a long line.

"The head of the family, is there really no problem with lending this 500,000 to the Mitsui family?"

In the past few days, Sanye Pingbei not only did not take the opportunity to reduce the price of a large number of goods in his hand, but took the opportunity to buy a lot of goods. It is the most reliable hard currency in the Japanese market - the Chinese dollar.

Of course, Mito Kogoro knew that his head of the family was doing a gamble, a shocking gamble. Mino Heibei is betting that there will be no war between China and Japan, at least this war will not affect Nagasaki.

Mito Kogoro felt that he was trembling all over. It's so exciting. The head of his family made him admire, who else would dare to gamble like this in the whole of Japan?

"As long as Nanjing does not send a message of peace, not only Mitsui Bank, but all banks in Japan, will face this unstoppable run frenzy. If Nanjing does not let go, the shaking of the banking industry will continue. Even if they raise the interest on the reserves, it won't work. ”

"Japan is too far from China. When the Chinese hum, the whole of Japan will tremble. ”

Wang Pingbei doesn't know when Nanjing will send a message of 'peace', Kyoto and Edo, at this time, will be like a mouse on a hot pan, being tormented and uncomfortable, right?

The only thing Wang Pingbei can confirm is that his gamble will not be lost, even if China fights with Japan, even if the Chinese naval warships appear off the coast of Nagasaki, the flames of war will not burn on the land route of Nagasaki.

He can't lose his gamble!

And after this 'gamble of winning and not losing', his Daimyo Mino Heibei will become more famous in Japan, laying a better foundation for the listing of Mitsubishi Boshoku Company in the future.

……

Kyoto Imperial Palace.

Tokugawa Isaharu looked at the full room of ministers with a gloomy face, and the shogunate elder Naofuku Matsudaira also looked at Sekihaku Konoe Uchizen and the left minister Kujo Naomiti and Takaji Fukpei with a gloomy face, as well as the second Prince Naohito of Kanin Palace.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the current situation is not the time for you ministers to shirk their responsibilities. If your 'shirk' can make the Chinese restrain their anger, then you yourself should face the accountability of the Chinese envoys.

Six days have passed, the armaments of Osaka Bay have been assembled, and the public investigation has made any progress on the death of the Chinese deputy envoy, do you want to wait until the Chinese shells fall in Kyoto to open your noble mouth? ”

"All samurai in Japan can fight to the death for the dignity of Japan under the banner of Tokugawa and shed their last drop of blood. But the shogunate did not want to see any samurai die in vain. "The Matsudaira Fukang establishment is about to explode, this group of damn ministers, if they really can't find clues, don't they know to quit a substitute ghost with an identity point?

Do they think that by just doing this, they can withstand China's wrath? Will it be able to survive China's wrath? Can the blame for not being able to defend Japan be put on the head of the shogunate?

Idiots, every minister is an idiot like a pig.

Matsudaira Tomiyasu hated that guy who did it. Although the Chinese mission did behave a bit arrogantly after entering Kyoto. But the shogunate had a secret deal with the Chinese, and China did make a 'real move', and their fleet was gathering towards the North Sea and Ryukyu.

Now all of this has been disrupted by this sudden turn of events. If the fleets of the North Sea and the Ryukyus turn from a threat to a war, the shogunate will be too wronged to bear the blame.

The public in Kyoto must have wanted to dump this black pot on the shogunate, but unfortunately the Chinese had a deal with the shogunate, and the people now recognized the emperor. Who made you still hold on to your nominal rights and not let go, and who made the people of your family die in Kyoto? (To be continued.) )
