Chapter 150: Matsuura's Promise
(The first update, please subscribe!) ļ¼
Ren Siqi decided to break his wrist with the Dutch, and if he couldn't deal with the Dutch on his own, then he would find someone to help, and the Zheng family didn't want to help him, so he could go to someone else. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć There are nearly 100 Ming ships that came to Japan, and only about 20 belong to the Zheng family. There are always people who are willing to help themselves, and they can also go to the Matsuura family for help, and ask Li Guozhu for help!
Ren Siqi decided to take the Dutch's declaration of war as a test for himself, and he would never allow himself to run away without a fight!
Fortunately, there is still plenty of time, and there is still half a year before the northwest monsoon starts in winter.
Matsuura Family Castle
Matsupu Dong smiled and entertained the visiting Ren Siqi again, in this raw silk transaction, the 500 quintals of raw silk ordered by Ren Siqi were sold at a high price in just a few days, and he earned 20,000 taels of silver in just a few days, which made him feel very good.
"Siqijun, you have a lot of courage, you dare to be the enemy of the Dutch!" Matsuura Dong said to Ren Siqi with a smile.
"It's not that I'm going to be their enemy, it's the Dutch who deceive people too much." Ren Siqi said.
"The Dutch are not easy to mess with, you have to be careful." Matsuura Dong said in a lively tone.
Ren Siqi immediately hated the root of his teeth for this cheap father-in-law, so he stimulated: "For Miss Ayako's sake, shouldn't the feudal lord help Siqi one or two?" ā
Hearing Ren Siqi mention his daughter, Matsuura Dong immediately had a black line on his forehead, although Japan is open, but it is not a glorious thing for Ren Siqi to have his daughter after all.
"Don't Siqi-kun think you should give Ayako an explanation?" Matsuura Takanobu shouted angrily.
Ren Siqi spread his hands helplessly: "I can't protect myself now, how can I explain to Ayako, Matsuura-kun, according to Japanese customs, if I die, will Ayako be widowed or marry someone else?" ā
"Eight grids!" Matsuura Dong glared at Ren Siqi viciously and scolded angrily.
Ren Siqi laughed.
"Siqijun, are you here?" Ayako ran in from outside with a happy face, pulling Ren Siqi's sleeve and jumping happily.
"Ayako, I've invented a new technique, should we try it?" Ren Siqi grabbed Matsuura Ayako's white and tender little hand, and teased in front of Matsuura Takanobu.
"Siqijun!" Ayako twisted her body in disgust, of course she understood what Ren Siqi said about "Xiao Ji", but she was very embarrassed to say it in front of her father.
"Hahaha!" Ren Siqi smiled arrogantly and pulled Ayako to her boudoir.
"Eight grids!" Looking at Ren Siqi's arrogant back, Matsuura Dong could only scold angrily.
"Siqijun, I heard about you and the Dutch, you must be careful!" In the boudoir, the clouds and rain stopped, and Matsuura Ayako said to the tired and panting Ren Siqi.
"It's okay, you have to trust your man's methods!" Ren Siqi stroked the bulge on Ayako's chest with his hand, the red beans became firmer under his caressing, and Ayako gasped rapidly.
This Japanese woman is a stunner, she is as gentle as water, her skin is as smooth as white jade, and compared with the women of the Ming Dynasty, she has a unique taste, so that Ren Siqi unconsciously indulged in it and couldn't extricate himself.
During the banquet in the evening, Matsuura Dong became serious, completely devoid of the anger when Ren Siqi came.
"Siqijun, we have to have a good talk." Matsuura Dong said to Ren Siqi with a serious face.
"Domain lord, please speak, Siqi listens!" Ren Siqi knew that the meat drama was coming, and whether he could get the support of the Matsuura family in this move.
"You also know that Japan is now pursuing a policy of 'closing the country', and the shogunate only allows Nagasaki to trade with the Ming and the Dutch, so you can rest assured, as long as you are in Nagasaki, I guarantee your safety. The Dutch don't dare to attack you unless they are not afraid of losing their qualification to trade in Nagasaki! Matsuura said solemnly.
"I'm relieved to have a feudal lord like this," Ren Siqi thanked, "but I still want to ask the feudal lord for something?" ā
"What's the matter? You must know that my influence is limited to Nagasaki, and there is nothing I can do when I go to sea! Matsuura asked in surprise.
"I heard that a few years ago, there was the Shimabara Rebellion in Japan, during which a large number of Japanese samurai were conscripted by the shogunate, and after the rebellion was put down, the army was disbanded, and many samurai lost their source of livelihood and wandered around the country. I've seen many of these wandering samurai in Nagasaki these days. Ren Siqi asked.
"But there is such a thing. You, what do you want to do? Do you want to fight the Dutch? Matsuura's eyes widened in surprise.
Ren Siqi nodded heavily: "I want to get the consent of the feudal lord and allow me to recruit people in Nagasaki, and I want to break my wrists with the Dutch!" ā
"Are you sure you want to do that?" Matsuura Dong looked at Ren Siqi's eyes seriously.
"I'm sure! Didn't the feudal lord want to foster a force that could compete with Zheng Zhilong, and if he couldn't even deal with three Dutch ships, how could he live up to the expectations of the feudal lord! Ren Siqi said confidently.
"Well, I promise you! In Japan now, there are a lot of wandering samurai, and if you want you to have money, you can recruit as many as you want. Matsuura Dong looked at Ren Siqi with appreciation, maybe this Xiucai from Daming can really create a miracle.
After returning from Matsuura's house, Ren Siqi convened his subordinates to discuss and announced his decision to fight with the Dutch, and everyone immediately began to discuss, some with a face kicking, and some with an excited face. Mao 18 immediately expressed his support clearly, Anthony, Li Xingjiu and others also followed, and Sima Nan, Cao Changjiang and others, who were old and serious, could only be silent when they saw this.
After unifying the opinions, Ren Siqi immediately arranged the matter, and let Cao Changjiang and Li Xingjiu be responsible for recruiting wandering samurai, there were many wandering samurai in Nagasaki, and the salary of two taels of silver per month was enough to recruit a large number of samurai. Cao Changjiang, who is old and serious, is in charge of this matter, and Li Xingjiu, who is strong in martial arts, is in charge of the selection of samurai. Matsuura Dong promised to provide a remote country manor, where the recruited samurai would be trained. Ren Siqi allocated 5,000 taels of silver for this matter, and Song Liben was responsible for all the logistics of the silver taels.
After Cao Changjiang and Li Xingjiu received the order, they immediately started this matter, and posted a notice on the streets of Nagasaki to recruit samurai, of course, the notice did not say that they were going to fight the Dutch, let alone that it was recruited by Qiyun Trading House. The streets of Nagasaki are bustling with people, and many samurai in tattered clothes and carrying long swords stop in the streets and watch the signs. They are all samurai who have lost their territory, they have nothing but martial arts, and they are not willing to be farmers who farm, so they can only find some hired work, and there are many such Japanese samurai on many Ming ships.
