Time back to two months ago, Nagasaki, Japan.

When the southeast monsoon rises, Ayako Matsuura is extremely excited, because she knows that her lover is about to meet her.

Almost every day, Ayako Matsuura will go to the beach with a big belly to look out.,Even his father Matsuura Takanobu can't persuade him.。。

Yes, a year ago, Siqi and Matsuura Ayako fooled around for a long time, and when Ren Siqi returned to Daming in winter, Matsuura Ayako found out that she was pregnant. It's been eight months now, and more than a month is about to give birth.

"Little one, you are so happy that you will see your father as soon as you are born." Matsuura Ayako's face is less of a girl's innocence and more of a mother's brilliance, often stroking her belly and talking to the child in her womb.

Matsuura Ayako's father and daughter, like their daughter, were full of expectations for Ren Siqi and gritted their teeth in anticipation. Matsuura Ayako was originally married to the Ryuzoji family, but she was given to Huo Huo by Ren Siqi, and now she is pregnant.

The paper can't keep the fire in the end, and the Matsuura family has become the laughing stock of the nearby daimyos, and the Ryuzoji family has sent people to the door many times to ask for the crime.

Relying on the control of Nagasaki Port, Japan's only foreign port, the Matsuura family has made a lot of money, and the power is far above the Ryuzoji family, of course, he is not afraid of the threat of Ryuzoji Temple, Matsuura Takahei is thick-skinned and doesn't care about becoming a laughing stock at all. Japan is a barbarian, there are not too many things about dog skins, everyone is a big brother, don't laugh at the second brother.

But thinking of the guy who caused his family to be in the current situation, Matsuura Takahei still couldn't let go, and secretly made up his mind to slaughter Ren Siqi after he arrived in Japan.

However, to the disappointment of Matsuura Ayako's father and daughter, the ships from Daming arrived one after another, but they couldn't see Ren Siqi's shadow.

Matsuura Takahei sent someone to inquire about the maritime merchants from Daming, but only to learn that Ren Siqi had done a lot of things this year.

"Tsk, that's amazing, I didn't misread him." Matsuura Takahei exclaimed, proud of his vision.

"Father, will Siqi-kun come to Japan this year?" Matsuura Ayako asked her father with a frown.

"Haha, I don't know if he's coming, but his fleet will definitely come. Daughter, your blessing is so good, Ren Siqi has now become a pivotal figure in Zhejiang, and he is now the general of the Ming Dynasty. However, he is now at war with the gentry of Zhejiang, and has intercepted dozens of gentry ships. ”

"Father, Si Qijun will definitely come, he doesn't know he has a child. Father, you said, if Si Qijun knew that he had a child, would he be very happy? ”

"Of course he'll be happy, my silly daughter." Matsuura Takahei said softly while caressing his daughter's hair lovingly.

In July, when the sea ships from Fujian and Guangdong arrived in Japan, Ren Siqi's fleet was still nowhere to be found.

Because Zhejiang's sea ships were wantonly intercepted by Ren Siqi, more than 50 sea ships arrived in Japan this year, including 20 ships belonging to the Zheng family and 5 armed sailing ships belonging to the Dutch. In order to avenge last year's one-shot revenge, the Dutch sent half of the sailing ships this time, hoping to find face for the next year.

Far fewer ships have arrived in Japan this year than in previous years, causing the price of goods on the market to soar, and the price of raw silk has risen to 400 taels of silver a load, and it is still rising. In addition, the prices of silk, sugar, porcelain, and tea have also risen by 30% compared with last year, so many maritime merchants still hold the goods in their hands and refuse to sell.

However, at present, although the market of Japanese goods is rising, it is in a stage where there is no market. On the one hand, the maritime merchants of the Ming Dynasty are holding the goods and want to wait for the price to continue to rise before making a move, on the other hand, the well-informed Japanese merchants know that there are still sea ships from Zhejiang that have not yet arrived, and the price should fall back after their arrival, and then it is the best time to make a move.

Japan's largest businessman, Matsuura Takanobu Li Guosuke and others are waiting patiently, and there are also some small businessmen who can't see through the situation jumping up and down, afraid that the price will continue to rise and rush to buy.

Since the closure of the country, Japan has only opened one foreign trade port in Nagasaki, and only merchants from the Ming and the Netherlands have been allowed to trade in Japan. Moreover, the Japanese shogunate strictly ordered the daimyo in various places not to send caravans to the sea without permission.

The goods that can come from the Ming Dynasty are too important for Japan, and raw silk is a strategic material, and Japan can swallow as much as it wants. Silk, spices, tea, porcelain and other luxury goods are the favorites of the daimyos, you must know that there are hundreds of daimyo in Japan, and there are countless ashigaru samurai in Japan, and the silk from the Ming Dynasty is the best cloth for making kimonos.

The Japanese merchants were waiting for the time to make a move, while the dark tide was surging among the Ming maritime merchants.

The Five Islands archipelago, inside the Zheng family's camp.

This time, it was Zheng Cai who was sent by the Zheng family to Japan to be responsible for escorting trade. Zheng Cai and Zheng Zhilong are of the same clan and are very far apart. However, since the fifth year of the Apocalypse, Zheng Cai has followed Zheng Zhilong to the sea, and is deeply respected by Zheng Zhilong, and is often entrusted with important tasks.

Now the situation in the Ming Dynasty is treacherous, Zheng Zhilong, as the general soldier of Fujian, did not dare to leave the Ming Dynasty, so he sent Zheng Cai to take charge of trade with Japan.

The Zheng family controls Japan's South Sea routes, and the annual income from sea trade is millions of taels, so they naturally attach great importance to sea trade. Zheng Cai even led a fleet of more than 30 three-masted sailing ships to escort the escort.

When Zheng Cai led the team to pass through the sea of Zhejiang, Ren Siqi was fighting with the gentry of Zhejiang, and of course he did not dare to intercept the Daishan army of Fujian's sea ships, and let them pass through the sea near Zhoushan.

And Zheng Cai was just surprised by Ren Siqi's audacity, but he didn't think much about it, but led the team to Japan.

Due to the battle between Ren Siqi and Zhejiang maritime merchants, there are one-third fewer ships in Japan this year than in previous years, and Zheng Cai is overjoyed by the rise in the market. But when he tried to get rid of the goods in his hand, the old relationship was shirked one after another.

Li Guozhu and the Zheng family didn't deal with each other, and even Matsuura Takanobu refused to agree to swallow the goods under the pretext of insufficient cash.

Zheng Cai knew that they were all waiting for the maritime merchants from Zhejiang, which made Zheng Cai very annoyed.

You must know that now the Zheng family is dominant in the entire Chinese sea, and even the Dutch do not dare to easily argue with the Zheng family.

And the rise of Ren Siqi's Daishan Army also made Zheng Cai secretly frightened, because it represented a force that could compete with the Zheng family.

I don't know who can win the battle between Ren Siqi and the Zhejiang gentry? You must know that Wang Zhiren's strength is not weak. If all the sea ships in Zhejiang cannot come to Japan this year, then the price of all kinds of goods is not as much as you say! Such a thought suddenly rose from Zheng Cai's heart.
