Hearing that Iserikang let him take the lead in attacking the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, Ashikaga Kazuki sneered in his heart, although he had no contact with Zhou Chong, but judging from the actions of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce during this time, he could also know that the other party must be an extremely shrewd person, since he dared to destroy the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce and the Shangquan Chamber of Commerce in a row, he would naturally guard against others from sneaking up on the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce. And if his own Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce really tears his face with the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, then I am afraid that there will only be a situation left in the end, and then Ishiyasu can withdraw from it, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and even seize the interests of Hokatom from it.

Although he knew that Iseyasu was selfish, Ashikaga Kazuki naturally wouldn't say what he thought directly, so he smiled indifferently at Iseyasu: "Ise-kun, although most of the people of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce are scattered in various fleets, they have a close relationship with the two major chambers of commerce of the Xie family and the Hong family, even if we join forces, I'm afraid we won't be able to destroy the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce in a moment and a half, and if the Xie family and the Hong family send reinforcements, I'm afraid it will be us who will be the last to be destroyed, so it won't be the last moment, It must not be used against the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce by force. ”

Hearing Ashikaga Kazuki's words, Iseri Kang couldn't help but say a little anxiously: "Brother Ashikaga, now our chamber of commerce is already at a critical juncture of life and death, of course, your Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce has a big business, and it will be longer than our small and medium-sized chambers of commerce to support it, but if we wait until all our small and medium-sized chambers of commerce go out of business in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce to survive in Shuangyu Port!" ”

"Ise-kun doesn't need to say much, I naturally have my plans!" Hearing the words of Iserikang, it was implied that their Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce only looked at the present, and did not care about the life or death of other Japanese Chamber of Commerce. This made Ashikaga Kazuki a little angry. The tone is also a little more aggravated.

At this time, Iselicone was also surprised. Just now, he only wanted to persuade Ashikaga Ikki to fight with the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, but he didn't expect to say it seriously in a hurry, and he immediately apologized: "Brother Ashikaga, the younger brother lost his words for a while, and I hope you don't be surprised!" ”

Iselicon worships the Ming culture, and both the clothes and speaking habits are very similar to the Ming people. Ashikaga Kazuki was originally very unaccustomed to the dress of Iseyasu, but now they are facing the common enemy of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce. In addition, Iserikang is also a representative of the small and medium-sized chamber of commerce of the Japanese people, so Ashikaga Kazuki didn't want to offend the other party too much, so he smiled at this time and said: "Ashikaga-kun doesn't have to apologize, I also know that your life is not good now, but in fact, what you don't know is that our Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce is also having a bad time, don't look at the business of our Chamber of Commerce, but the expenses are also very large, and now the supply of goods in our hands has been reduced by half, and the Chamber of Commerce is now unable to make ends meet." If we don't want to find a way to solve it, I'm afraid that it will be our Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce that will fall first. ”

Seeing Ashikaga Kazuki did not blame. On the contrary, he also exposed his shortcomings, telling himself that the situation of the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce was not much better than his own, although Iserikang didn't know the truth of the other party's words, but it did make him feel a lot better.

However, although Ashikaga Kazuki said that he did not want to clash head-on with the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, Iseyasu did not give up, and then persuaded Ashikaga Kazuki to stand up as a representative of the Japanese people to fight for his rights, but unfortunately Ashikaga Kazuki has a stubborn personality and will not change what he believes in no matter what, so no matter how Iseyasu persuades, the other party just disagrees.

Seeing that today's persuasion will no longer have any effect, Iselican will no longer be entangled, and soon shakes his head and sighs and stands up to say goodbye, although Ashikaga Kazuki tries his best to leave him to eat at the Chamber of Commerce, but unfortunately Iselicuksu is not in the mood to eat at all, so he still gets up and says goodbye after the most reluctance.

After seeing off Iserikan, Ashikaga Kazuki returned to his Japanese-style study, where he knelt with a pensive look on his face.

In fact, the situation of the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce is not as serious as he said before, the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce is one of the four major chambers of commerce in Shuangyu Port, they also have their own supply channels, although because of the cooperation and smuggling, many of the merchants who originally supplied them turned to the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, but the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce still retains at least half of the supply, plus he continues to transport some special products from the country, so although the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce is now a lot less profitable, but self-protection is still no problem.

However, although the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce can protect itself, but from the standpoint of Ashikaga Kazuki, he is also very dissatisfied with the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, after all, it is precisely because of the other party that the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce, which was originally good, fell into the predicament of only self-protection, and even some time ago, he was also thinking about how to calculate the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, at least to destroy the cooperative smuggling business of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, but an incident that happened afterwards made him change his mind.

The reason why Ashikaga Kazuki suddenly changed his mind was mainly because when Zhou Zhong came back a few days ago, he actually brought a team of hundreds of Jinyi Guards, and there were rumors in the port that Zhou Zhong actually had a close connection with the Great Tomorrow, and even many people thought that the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce had the support of the Great Tomorrow, so it could develop so rapidly. As for the team of brocade guards, it was sent by the Great Tomorrow to protect Zhou Chong.

Originally, Ashikaga Kazuki didn't easily believe this kind of rumor, but soon he heard some news from Matsue Mansion, knowing that those brocade guards came with the holy decree of marriage, and he even secretly went to the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce to observe, and saw with his own eyes that those brocade guards were really respectful to Zhou Chong, which made him finally believe most of the rumors.

Ashikaga Kazuki actually doesn't care about those brocade guards, but cares about the relationship between Zhou Zhong and the Great Tomorrow, assuming that the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce is really behind the Great Tomorrow Son supporting, then with the protection of the Brocade Guards by Zhouzhong's side, then Zhou Zhong must also be very valued by the Great Tomorrow, this news is definitely a great news for Ashikaga Ikki.

Ashikaga Kazuki was born in the Japanese shogun Ashikaga family, in fact, his real name is Ashikaga Yoshio, is the cousin of the current shogun Ashikaga Yoshisai, and he and Ashikaga Yoshisai grew up together, and the relationship between the two is very good, but at this time, although the Ashikaga family still retains the position of general, but the power is controlled by the Hosokawa clan, Ouchi clan, Hatakeyama clan and other families, the Ashikaga family is in their hands, just a signboard that can be used at any time, and there is not much real power at all.

Ashikaga Yoshio has a stubborn personality since he was a child, and when he saw the family become a puppet in the hands of others, he was also heartbroken, but others spoke lightly, and there was no power in his hands, so he could not change the status quo of the family, and it was in this situation that Ashikaga Yoshio decided to leave the family and go outside to seek a way to revive the family.

With the development of the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce, Ashikaga Kazuki wants people to ask for money and money, and he can be regarded as a hegemon on the sea, but he has not forgotten his original ambition, and with the increase in strength in his hands, he has not forgotten to contact his family, especially after Chiro Michi's cousin Ashikaga Yoshisai became a shogun, he began to vigorously support his cousin's pro-government, but unfortunately he has not succeeded.

Ashikaga Yoshisai was originally the tenth general of the Muromachi shogunate, but just a few years after becoming a general, he was deposed as a general by a coup d'état, and had to go into exile.

However, after Ashikaga Yoshisai became a shogun again, he was still hollowed out by various powerful families, and did not restore the real power in the hands of the shogun, so Ashikaga Yoshisai also had conflicts with several powerful families, but it didn't help, and the puppet was still a puppet.

Although Ashikaga Kazuki is far overseas, he has always maintained close contact with his cousin Ashikaga Yoshisai, and he also knows very well about the situation in Japan.

Speaking of the Ashikaga family and the Ming still have a relationship, when the third generation of shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was in power, he sent people to the Ming Dynasty many times, asking for trade with the Ming court, and finally in the Ming Dynasty when Zhu Di, the Ming Dynasty issued a survey letter to Japan, allowing Japan to trade in the name of the subject country, once every ten years, and the place of transaction is in the Ningbo Port next to Shuangyu Port, which is also one of the reasons why the Japanese people gather in Shuangyu Port.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu admired the culture of the Ming Dynasty, and finally opened up the trade routes of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Di in order to commend Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the title of "King of Japan" was rewarded to him, and the gold seal was given, and the generals of each generation of the Ashikaga family in later generations also inherited the title of King of Japan, and traded with the Ming Dynasty with this title. However, it should be noted that the king of Japan is completely different from the emperor of Japan, the emperor of Japan at that time has become a puppet, and the Ashikaga family is the real ruler, but unfortunately the Ashikaga family was also hollowed out later, and the power was dispersed among the local daimyos.

It is also with such a period of origin, Ashikaga Kazuki and his cousin Ashikaga Yoshisai discussed, hoping to use the power of the Ming Dynasty to suppress the daimyo in various places, but unfortunately the Ming Dynasty did not interfere in the internal affairs of the various subject countries, although Ashikaga Yoshisai repeatedly asked the Ming for help in the name of the King of Japan, but the officials of the Ming Dynasty were not willing to pay attention to it at all, and it was even more impossible for them to enter the palace to see the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so there has been no progress in asking for help from the Ming Dynasty.

But now the appearance of Zhou Zhong has made Ashikaga Kazuki see hope, if Zhou Zhong is really the person of the Great Tomorrow, then he may be able to ask for help directly through him. (To be continued......)
