Chapter 246 Yizhou

When the armed ships of the Wufeng maritime merchants retaliated against the port of Kagoshima of the Shimazu family, the main fleet, which had hundreds of large ships and tens of thousands of members, sailed in the waters south of Kyushu and west of Yumo Island, heading southwest to Chinese mainland.

The old people reminisce with feelings, since they were stained as "widows", many people have not returned to their hometown for ten or twenty years, and the longing for their homeland continues to ferment in their hearts, and the images of their hometown grass and trees and childhood playmates have long been brewed into mellow wine in the depths of memory.

Teenagers under the age of twenty were not as nostalgic as the elderly, and they were born and raised in Hirado, and what their distant homeland was like was only learned from the babbling words of their elders, so that even though they knew that there were still several days to go before their destination, they still stood on tiptoe from time to time and looked in the direction of the western continent, looking forward and longing.

The pillars of each family, the sailors and men of the old and the low, are happy with hidden worries.

There is no doubt that it is gratifying to be able to return to one's hometown in a dignified manner -- even if in order to avoid trouble, we have to set up home ports on the islands of Dinghai and Daqu on the southeast coast or Sansha Island at the mouth of the Yangtze River, which will also reduce the cost of trade, and business will certainly be more prosperous in the future than in the past.

But is it true that the policy of the imperial court will not change again?

The opening of the sea and the forbidden sea have been repeated several times since Hong Wuye, in case there are changes in the future, and the maritime merchants are slandered as pirates and pirates, staying on these islands close to the mainland, wouldn't they become the féiròu in the mouths of the imperial court sailors and magnates?

The maritime merchants are really afraid of the imperial court, afraid of those "clean officials" who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, obviously you are working hard in shipping and trade, and when he touches you up and down, you are "no business", what "disaster luàn southeast", what "overseas outcasts", so that you can't cry.

Wang Zhi believed in the imperial court, so he lost his head, so it was not that the maritime merchants couldn't believe the imperial court, but that no one was willing to believe the story of the wolf!

These men with dark skin as if they were cast in steel and iron, looked at the flagship Daifuku ship in the middle, with deep worries.

The flagship of Wufeng Maritime Merchant, the Huizhou 4,000 material Dafu ship, is 120 steps long, can carry 2,000 people, can run horses on the deck, erects seven masts, Zhang Jiufan, has a tall and majestic ship, sailing on the sea like a moving castle.

The ship's cabins are magnificently furnished, with two five-foot-tall fiery red coral trees at the entrance, eight screens framed with Nanyang fragrant wood, inlaid with Western glass, with each sè pearl and gemstone, a soft bōsi velvet blanket on the floor, and Japanese swords, Central Plains swords, and gold and silver muskets hung on the four walls.

On the top of the three steps in the middle of the official cabin, a jiāo chair made of golden silk nanmu is installed, and the tiger skin is covered on it, which is the throne of the owner of the five peaks of Weijia, the east and west oceans, and the command of the 36 islands.

The person sitting on the throne was naturally not Wang Zhi, who had stepped on the sea back then, nor was he the second-generation Wufeng ship owner Jin Yingji, but Qin Lin who was smiling with a thief.

Jin Yingji, the true owner of the throne, supported the armrests of the Jiāo chair with both hands, the water snake's waist was as soft as boneless, and its delicate body leaned forward and leaned down to approach Qin Lin, approaching a dangerous distance.

"Xiǎo injustice, there are no six ears here, how to arrange the slave family, you can say it directly!" The soft voice of the beautiful nv snake carried the breath of yòuhuò, and the hanging hair scratched mischievously on Qin Lin's face, itchy.

As long as you stretch out your hand and gently wrap it, this feminine person will fall into her arms......

It was only in front of Qin Lin that Jin Yingji would be so joking, thinking of the "secret" that night, she secretly laughed in her heart: Dare to bully me? Humph, keep you in the dark for the rest of your life! And Xu Xinyi and Zhang Zixuan, you just wait for a headache!

Qin Lin was indeed in the dark, and to this day he still thought that it was Jin Sakurahime who lingered that night, since the NV One Piece was unabashedly teasing, he also honestly and unceremoniously reached out and gently wrapped his hand on the waist of the water snake, and when he landed, his soft and boneless delicate body fell into his arms.

This guy! Jin Yingji was caught off guard, and was hugged by Qin Lin, her eyes widened in surprise.

Poor NV One Piece's nightmare is not over, since he has already had a male love nv, what is Qin Lin polite? One hand firmly grasped the waist of the water snake, and the other hand reached through the neckline of the sea tiger velvet and held the crisp xiōng very domineeringly.

Jin Yingji's body was soft, her face was crimson, and her brain was a mess, and she fainted.

Qin Lin's demon hand swam on the delicate skin, enjoying the soft touch unscrupulously, and the person in his arms trembled violently...... Suddenly, this guy said inexplicably: "Huh, mō up, it seems to be a little xiǎo?" ”,

The delicate body that was almost paralyzed in her arms tensed like a bow for a moment, and then bounced out with a swish.

Jin Yingji Yun Yun sideburns scattered, her face was red, her mouth rose and fell violently, and she stared at Qin Lin angrily, eager to bite him to death.

No matter how wanton and frivolous, it is just a light anger under shyness, but the last sentence is too much, too much, too shocking - is it tolerable or unbearable!

Jin Yingji couldn't help but look down at her xiōng mouth, it was indeed bigger than Xu Xiǎo sister xiǎo, but Yingying was handy, xiǎo was cute and cute, with a slender figure and a flexible waist like a water snake, isn't it just right?

Gritting her teeth hatefully, she sat down on the chair next to her with a straight face, and said coldly: "If the chief has anything to say, just say it directly, xiǎonv Zi Wandering on the sea, and listen to yourself." ”

Qin Lin scratched his head inexplicably, not understanding why Jin Yingji suddenly became as cold as ice, but even Freud couldn't guess it, let alone him? He smiled self-deprecatingly and took out a concise chart of East Asia.

"I know you can't trust the imperial court," Qin Lin saw that Jin Yingji wanted to explain something, waved his hand to signal that he should not be impatient, and continued: "This is normal, it was indeed the imperial court that rebelled and was sorry for Mr. Wang, not Mr. Wang who was sorry for the imperial court. In fact, even I cannot guarantee that this court will continue its current policy. ”

Qin Lin is telling the truth, Zhang Juzheng's reform and new policy did be partially continued after his death, so that the Ming Dynasty presented a short-term "Zhongxing", but more of the content is the death of the people, although Qin Lin can try to change some things, but after all, he is just a Jinyi Wei deputy thousand households, who knows which step he can do in the future?

Jin Yingji was originally upset, and when she heard Qin Lin say this, she couldn't help but feel sweet in her heart, and secretly thought to herself: These words are almost undisguised accusations against the imperial court, as a Ming official, if you can say this, after all, your heart is a little towards me.

"So, you can set up a trading house and a transshipment station on the coastal islands, set up a transshipment warehouse, and even hang the signboard of the Yingzhou Governor's lawsuit," Qin Lin pondered, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "But the real home port, the place where the old and weak fù brigade of people and horses are stationed, must be located far away from the coast and beyond the control of the imperial court!" ”

No wonder these words couldn't be said in public, even Jin Yingji opened her mouth in surprise, if Qin Lin's words were on the line, it would be a disobedient heart!

However, it is also the truth.

"So where do you choose to be your home port?" Kanesakihime stood up, and her slender fingers moved slowly on the chart, from the Japanese island of Kyushu to the west, the nearest place...... Her fingertips stopped at Tamna Island (Cat's note: Jeju Island, the country of coolies, well, in view of South Korea's request for the Chinese side to change the name of "Seoul" to "Seoul" for pronunciation reasons, the cat followed through and changed the name of Korea to "Korea" in English).

Qin Lin shook his head, the natural environment and location of Tamna Island are very suitable as a home port, but there are big problems in politics.

"I heard that Tamna Island now belongs to Jeju Mu in North Korea, and there are two counties on the island, Dajing and Jingyi, and North Korea is listed as a country not to be conquered by the Ming Dynasty, and it is a Hajj every year, if it occupies its island, the Koreans will definitely go to Beijing to accuse, and it is not easy for the court to blame," Qin Lin smiled, and added: "Koreans love to cry with the Ming court, and it is famous." ”

Jin Yingji laughed out loud and slapped Qin Lin: "You love to cry with people!" ”

Now that Tamna Island had been ruled out, Kanakurahime's fingertips continued to move south, pointing at the Ryukyu Kingdom (present-day Okinawa), but this time she shook her head first.

The Ryukyu region was narrow, had no room for manoeuvre, and was too far from the mainland, and it also maintained a vassal relationship with the Ming Dynasty, and if it rashly went to occupy its territory, it would also be sued by the imperial court.

Could it be Luzon? Jin Sakura Ji was suspicious.

There are already Franc machine people there, and Chinese maritime merchants have also been there.

Lin Feng, a maritime merchant, used Penghu as a base to open up maritime trade, and once led 62 warships and more than 5,500 people to sail into Luzon. Maris, who arrived at Manila Bay on the 29th of the same month, won his first attack on Manila, killing the Spanish commander-in-chief in the Philippines, Gointe.

Later, Lin Feng established the capital in Lingayen Bay, proclaimed himself king, and had a good relationship with the local residents. In March of the third year, Spain sent troops to attack Lin Feng, and the Ming Dynasty sailors took the opportunity to jointly besiege it. After Lin Feng's hard fighting, he had to break through and return to Taiwan due to the lack of food and equipment, and then returned to Cháo Prefecture, haunting between Zhelin, Jinghai and Jieshi, because his subordinates were recruited by the imperial court, Lin Feng did not know what to do. ,

Do you want to repeat Lin Feng's mistakes?

Of course, Qin Lin will not choose Luzon, Luzon is the mén household of Western colonizers entering East Asia, Portugal and Spain, which are presided over by the Pope to divide the world, and later the Netherlands, the sea coachman, will all come one after another.

He gently grabbed Jin Yingji's hand and moved his position to the northeast of Luzon, across the sea from Fujian.

Yizhou!

"Isn't this a wild place?" Kanakurahime's eyes widened, and she thought it was incredible, compared to other civilized areas in East Asia, it was simply an undeveloped area, with only uncivilized mountains and people, and zero commercial trade, so despite the comings and goings of Chinese, Japanese, and Western maritime merchants, no one would set up a home port there.

A few years ago, Lin Feng was also chased by the imperial court sailors, so he went to Jīlong (now Keelung) to take refuge temporarily, and once the wind loosened, he returned to Penghu, never taking Yizhou as his home port.

Qin Lin stared at Jin Yingji, smiling rather than smiling.

Ah! Jin Yingji patted her brain, like waking up from a dream: there is no civilization, which means that there is no tributary relationship between the local area and the Ming court; It is closer to the mainland than Hirado and Luzon; The area is vast and has a lot of room for manoeuvre; Guarding the strait, it is at the confluence of the east and west oceans, but no one pays attention!
