Three, four, three, the most domineering maritime order in history

It was still difficult for the Goryeo sailors to get close to the vultures. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Because I was afraid that they were carrying some terrible things from the Song people, they had to go through an inspection first. Before they arrived, the shells that had knocked down the houses were found, and the Japanese sent them to the Wushu.

Looking at the familiar cannonball, the vultures fell silent.

At this time, he could feel the despair of his brother at the beginning.

Iron bullets weighing several pounds were shot from miles away, destroying and destroying it, without any shield or armor to stop it.

What weapons are there to restrain it?

If you think about it, the only thing that can restrain artillery is artillery!

"Huh, the taste...... This tastes ......."

He was observing the shells when he suddenly realized something. The smell of the cannonball, it seems to have been smelled once!

He lowered his head and thought about it, and then remembered the sulfur mine that someone else had offered him when he was asking for a mine in Japan.

Fire? Among the ingredients of the medicine is sulfur, and the nose of the vultures is very sensitive, and it smells out of this smell. He squinted, a flash of excitement in his eyes: if it was, he might solve the mystery of the artillery!

He didn't know that it was useless to only smell the sulfur, and even if he could figure out the ingredients, the fire created by the different proportions of various materials? The effects of the medicine also vary greatly.

It can be said that the difference is a millimeter, and the loss is a thousand miles.

Just when the vultures were excited about his discovery, the two Goryeo sailors were finally brought to him.

Because of his discovery, he temporarily covered up Wushu's anger, and a rare smile appeared on his face: "What did Zhou Quan ask you to bring?" ”

The two Goryeo sailors trembled, there were ships in the past, and the Jurchens couldn't control the big ships, so they needed skilled Goryeo sailors like them, but now that the boats are gone, where do they dare to anger the vultures?

"King Doge, they just asked us to deliver this letter......"

The Goryeo held a glass bottle aloft in the air, and the Wushu took the bottle, pulled out the cork, and shook out the silk cloth inside.

He knew some Chinese characters himself, but he didn't know them all, so he handed them over to someone next to him.

This person was originally a Han from Liaodi, and after taking refuge in the Jurchens, he was reused by the Wushu because of his knowledge of the Chinese language, but it was clearly the Han language that gave him a bite to eat, but he was still lacking in heart, and he only hated that he was a Han person, so he dressed up to be more Jurchen than the Wushu Jurchens.

After taking the silk letter, after he opened it, he first coughed, and was about to shake his head and read it, but he was immediately stunned: "This ...... This ......"

"Read!"

"Yes, yes!"

I originally thought it was a normal negotiation document, but I never thought that the official document on this silk letter was an ultimatum at all!

Zhou Quan, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty East China Sea, ordered: In order to maintain the freedom of navigation in the East China Sea, protect the safety of the lives and property of passengers at sea, and crack down on illegal operations, all ships that want to traffic goods in the East China Sea must go to Jeju for registration. And if you dare to resist, you will be treated as pirates and sunk!

If you want to get the red seal ribbon, you should pay the annual fee according to the load of the ship, and pay two silver yuan per stone load. In addition, the goods carried must be inspected and reported, and all goods prohibited by the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce will be detained and sealed. The East China Sea Chamber of Commerce will patrol the sea and have the right to dispose of unreported cargo ships, including sinking.

Because of the special relationship between the Tokai Chamber of Commerce and Japan, all entering and leaving the Japanese merchant ship must pay taxes to the Tokai Chamber of Commerce, and the tax amount is levied on the price of the goods carried by the ship to the Gokoku City. This year's big discount, the Song merchant ships are exempted from Japanese tax, the Korean merchant ships are subject to a Japanese tax, the Liao merchant ships are subject to a Japanese tax of 20%, and the stateless merchant ships are subject to a Japanese tax of 50%. Those who do not have tax payment certificates will be dealt with as smugglers, and if they resist, they will be treated as pirates.

"This ...... This ......"

After listening to the general content, Wushu only felt a mouthful of old blood, almost spurting out.

The harshness of this condition is simply a clear robbery!

Each ship has to pay twice a year, and each time the goods transported have to be reported and taxed, and those who do not comply are sunk, such a method is really appalling. When they were ruled by the Liao State, the Khitan nobles arrived at the Jurchens, and they were extremely domineering, so after the Jurchen founded, they bullied the Khitan and other surrounding ethnic groups, and intensified their efforts, which were also extremely domineering. But Wushu felt that compared to the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce, no, compared to Zhou Quan, they were simply gentle and cute!

It is also said that it is treated as pirates, and the largest pirate group in the East China Sea is the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce, and the biggest pirate leader is Zhou Quan himself!

What particularly makes Wushu angry is that there are preferential treatments for the Song people, tax exemptions, and preferential treatment for both Goryeo and Liao, but they are not mentioned as Jinguo, but they are classified as stateless merchant ships!

In other words, the Jurchen merchant ships not only had to pay for each ship according to its load, but also had to pay half of the goods tax according to the amount of goods each time, so what did they Jurchen do in Japan, and all the bulk of their income was taken by Zhou Quan!

However, it is not that there are no loopholes to exploit in this, for example, if the Jurchen merchant ships are named in the name of the Song people, they can evade taxes, but when such means are used, Wushu feels that he has no face at all.

If there is interest, it doesn't matter if you don't have a face......

But in this way, is there any benefit, and Wushu doesn't feel that with Zhou Quan's shrewdness, he will take advantage of this kind of loophole for a long time.

The last sentence annoyed Wushu the most.

"Knowing that there is a shortage of ships from Japan to Liao and Goryeo, the Great Song Donghai Chamber of Commerce is deeply disturbed, so it specially dispatched ten cargo ships for the use of personnel and goods in various places. All shipping costs are preferentially calculated. The freight rate is paid for each stone of goods or per person, and it is one yuan for Goryeo, two yuan for Liao, and five yuan for stateless. ”

"Deeply disturbed, deeply disturbed by your mother! I've never seen anyone brazen like that! Under the fury of Wushu, he slapped the Han man dressed as a Jurchen to the ground: "Han'er, the most cunning, the most shameless, I want to kill all you Han'er!" ”

"The villain is a Jurchen, the villain is a Jurchen, the villain is really a Jurchen!" The guy kowtowed like pounding garlic, and shouted repeatedly.

Perhaps it was his cry that made Wushu sober up a little, thinking that this guy was still useful to him, Wushu let go of him, tilted his head, and looked at the two Goryeo sailors.

Judging from the proclamation on the silk letter, Zhou Quan wanted to completely control Japan's trade with the rest of the country, that is, Zhou Quan would not allow them to really own sea ships.

Doesn't that mean that the Goryeo sailors are useless?

The Jurchens were able to successfully fight to Japan, and the Goryeo sailors contributed a lot, but now it is useless......

Bang!

Wushu kicked over a Goryeo sailor: "You useless things, why don't you fight with Zhou Quan, why don't you fight with the Song people!" ”

Not to mention that the Wushu was thundering, on the Qinglong, Zhou Quan looked at the two big ships, and said with satisfaction: "Zhenghe can be leased to the Khitans, Yelu Dashi must be very short of ships now." ”

Everyone next to them was stunned, and then they all slandered, except for their East China Sea Chamber of Commerce, who else is not short of boats, even the Japanese fishermen are also short of boats, you know, at the beginning they were bombarded in the port, but it didn't matter whether the other party was a merchant ship or a fishing boat.

"Ah, it seems that I looked at something, and forgot to tell them where to find us to pay, let's go back." Zhou Quan pondered for a while and suddenly said: "Mr. Dong and Mr. Bai are not around, it's just inconvenient, write something, always lose three or four!" ”

Everyone grinned, the proclamation shown to Wushu was made up by everyone you and me, originally Zhou Quan's meaning was to seize half of the cargo on those unauthorized ships, but after everyone discussed, they felt that this was too lenient and not enough to form an effective maritime order. So a captain named Chen Zhiming suggested that all boats without permission should be robbed, and not only that, but even the boat and its people would be detained, and they would have to pay a fine before they were released.

This person was originally a ship boss under Li Qing, and now he is the captain of the Xuanwu, and his suggestion made everyone applaud, so Zhou Quan was very happy to include it in the conditions.

After all, he was still influenced by some other life, and he paid attention to fairness in everything, and he wanted to leave some room for others, but now that he thinks about it, why should he worry about the fairness of other people, why should he leave room for people of other races? When he got to land, he was afraid that the Jurchens would cause losses due to riots, but this was at sea, and the Jurchens could swim from the sea and bite him if they were not convinced?

As for whether the Jurchens will vent their anger on the Japanese, it has nothing to do with Zhou Quan.

At this time, Kokura Minato, Wushu began to organize people to clean up the mess. The Goryeo sailors who were on the shore had been treated with the courtesy of the Vultures, but now they began to work as coolies, rowing the few small fishing boats that were left behind, and were responsible for salvaging floating things in the sea -- many of the goods that the Vultures had looted in Japan had already been transported to the ship, and now they were falling into the sea with the boats, and some of the wooden boxes were still floating on the surface of the sea, which could be salvaged and could make up for some of the losses.

On the shore, those Japanese who were ready to move needed to be deterred, and the Wushu had enough manpower in his hands, so he sent people to patrol the streets, and all the Japanese who dared to gather together to talk to each other were arrested and punished as coolies. If there are those who resist, they will be killed in the street, and their heads will not be seen.

It must be admitted that the ability of the vultures is still quite good, although he is not very old, but his prestige among the Jurchens is quite high, and most of these Jurchens who came to Japan with him to rob are already bulging. And the Japanese were scared by him, so in a short time, the port of Ogura seemed to be back to order.

However, at this moment, the dull sound of the bull's horn sounded, and then the gong sounded.

Wushu was stunned, and immediately understood that the Song people had killed again!

Seeing seven ships, five warships and two merchant ships, reappearing on the surface of the sea, Wushu had the heart to cry.

The ship has blown up for you and turned into floating debris on the sea, what are you going to do when you come back! (To be continued.) )
