2025 Across the Sea

This chapter is a transitional chapter, and at the same time it is a bit heavy, so don't enter if you don't like it.

The current Jingshi, except for the agents of Liaodong and Nanjing, all praise Liaoning. Those two aspects are because Liaoning has affected their interests, so they have a hostile attitude towards Liaoning. Among them, Nanjing is full of hostility because Liaoning is now monopolizing the sea trade with North Korea, and Dalian Salt Works has broken the monopoly of Jiangnan, and even instigated Jiangnan talents to criticize Liaoning. Cutting off people's wealth is like killing your parents!

However, because Liaoning is a political envoy, the imperial court cannot control Liaoning's internal affairs, and the talented people really can't do anything except fight with each other. I'm a rogue, I'm afraid of whom, this principle applies to any time and space. Besides, Liaoning has brought so much silver to the inner court and the imperial court, so that the inner court and the imperial court will not cut off their own financial routes.

People who praise Liaoning have recently shifted from appreciating food to playing with Mongolian girls. Daming can't deal with the Mongols on the battlefield, so it's good to buy a Mongolian girl to come back and vent. Pity the mass graves outside the capital, there have been many corpses of Mongolian girls recently, defenseless, scarred, and miserable.

The Liaoning Guild Hall now offers not only Mongolian girls, but also Dongying boys and girls, and this added option makes those old goldfish inexplicably excited. How did these boys and girls come from? It turns out that this is related to the current situation of Dongying.

Goldfish guy is another name for Xiangjiang people's strange uncle, strange Shu millet, and pedophilia. It comes from a previous case in Xiangjiang: a middle-aged man raised goldfish on the rooftop for the purpose of abducting and violating little girls, and said to some little girls one after another: "Little sister, can my uncle take you to see goldfish?" Then he took the little girl to the rooftop and waited for an opportunity to violate her. Later, people used the term "goldfish" to represent men with pedophilia, and even men who talked to young girls, especially old men, with obvious deceptive purposes.

The term Toei Sengoku (1467~1615) first appeared in Article 20 of the "Koshu Laws of the Times" formulated by Takeda Shingen (1521~1573), a daimyo of Kai Province (present-day Yamanashi Prefecture); At the beginning of it, it is remembered that "above the Warring States in the world". But Takeda Shingen, who loves Chinese military strategy, actually directly applied the name of the Warring States period in China to describe the pattern of Dongying.

Huaxia took the Warring States period as the name of an era, and it was only after Liu Xiang edited the book "Warring States Policy" in the late Western Han Dynasty that it began to be used. In other words, the people of Toei, who were born in what is called the "Warring States Period" by later generations, already had the understanding that "it is now the world of the Warring States Period".

Strictly speaking, the Toei Warring States is not an official historical term, but is generally used to refer to the history of Toei during the period of more than 100 years of political turmoil and division between the Onin War that broke out in the Muromachi period and the Azuchi-Momoyama period (it is also said that the early Edo period is included).

In this era, the prestige of the guardianship positions in various places with the shogun (also known as the shogun of Seiyi) and the shogunate declined, and the guardian generations, local tyrants, and even commoners who had been assisting in the guardianship rose one after another and became daimyos. It is possible for the daimyo from all over the world to dominate one side, and even become the "Tianxia (Dongying's Tianxia) people" who control the world.

In addition, trade exchanges between Toei and Europeans began in earnest at this time, and the introduction of Christianity and iron cannons (muskets) changed the pattern of society and warfare. In the middle and late Warring States period, the relationship between serfs and landlords under the feudal system in the past was gradually destroyed.

After the Liaoning Group established a relationship with the Chao * Xianjin family and the Cui family, Li Sicheng, with the consent of Lao Jin, entrusted the two families to arrange a line in Dongying in the name of Haimao to monitor the changes in the current situation in Dongying. In fact, Kim Jung-ho has been monitoring Dongying before, but the intensity is not strong enough.

The Kim and Choi families set up a trading house in Toei and Nagasaki, selling glassware, ceramics/porcelain products, mirrors, spirits, and wool products to Toei (after years of research, Fiara was finally able to industrialize wool weaving. and other specialties of Liaoning and Chao Xian, in exchange for a large amount of gold and silver (there are many gold and silver mines in the Dongying Islands), as well as a small amount of muskets and artillery for reference.

Nagasaki was originally a small fishing village, but in the 13th century, it was occupied by the Nagasaki clan and has been called Nagasaki ever since. In 1571, the Portuguese made their maiden voyage here, and it gradually developed into a trading port.

In 1573, Oda Nobunaga destroyed the Muromachi shogunate. In 1582, after Oda Nobunaga defeated the Takeda clan, he rapidly expanded around with as the core, but on June 2, 1582, he encountered the Honnoji Rebellion, that is, the betrayal of the army led by the retainer Akechi Mitsuhide, and his eldest son Oda Nobutada was killed in battle.

After Oda Nobunaga's death, Akechi Mitsuhide asked the imperial court to recognize his status as a man of the world. A few days later, he ushered in the envoy and officially established himself as the new man of the world. Hideyoshi Hashiba returned to immediately after learning of Akechi Mitsuhide's rebellion, united with Niwa Nagahide, another important minister of the Oda family, to defeat Akechi Mitsuhide (Yamazaki Battle), and supported Oda Nobutada's son Oda Hidenobu (Three Masters) to succeed to the throne at the Kiyosu Conference, which decided to be the successor of the Oda clan. As a result, Oda Nobunaga's other two sons, Oda Nobutaka and Oda Nobuo, became hostile to Hideyoshi Hashiba.

Later, Hideyoshi Hashiba defeated Shibata Katsuie, the highest-ranking member of the Oda family, in the Battle of Shidake, and Shibata Katsuie committed suicide after fleeing back to the castle. From then on, the foundation established by Oda Nobunaga was completely accepted by Hideyoshi Hashiba. Later, Hideyoshi made peace with Tokugawa Ieyasu after the Battle of Komaki and Nagakute, and built Osaka Castle on the site of Ishiyama Honganji Temple. In 1585, he was appointed as Guan Bai (Guan Bai was an ancient Japanese official, originally meaning from China, originally meaning "statement, confession". The term was introduced to Japan by the Tang envoys, and gradually became an important position for the Japanese emperor to assist the prime minister Wan Ji after he came of age, which was equivalent to the prime minister in ancient China. In 1586, he was given the surname Toyotomi and changed his name to "Toyotomi Hideyoshi" and became the Minister of Taisei, establishing the Toyotomi regime.

Now, Toyotomi Hideyoshi is gathering heavy troops in Kishu, Shikoku, and Kyushu to conquer the Chosō Ibe clan and the Shimazu clan in order to finally complete the unification of Toei.

In order to delay Toyotomi Hideyoshi's unification of Dongying as much as possible, the Liaoning side did not hesitate to sell weapons and grain to the Nagamune Ibe clan and the Shimazu clan, and even sold their own gunpowder. The Chomune Ibe clan and the Shimazu clan, which were replenished with supplies, temporarily withstood the attack of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and also made a slight gain.

The continuous conquest made the Nagamune Ibe clan and the Shimazu clan surrounded by walls, and the warehouse could run horses, and they really couldn't afford to pay. After repeated negotiations, an agreement was finally reached, and the two families paid the Jin and Cui families for the goods. The strong men could not be sold if they wanted to fight, and the old, weak, sick and disabled families did not want them, so it was finally decided to pay for them with young women and boys. For this reason, the two families also specially arranged for people to go to the surrounding daimyo to rob young women, boys, girls and children, and even contacted pirates to rob along the seashore.

The women of Dongying are as hard-working and durable as the women of Chao Xian, and they just want to be wives and concubines and give birth to children for the old and young masters in Liaoning. This boy and girl didn't know how to place it at first, but Lin Shenhe brought back the information that the nobles in Jingshi liked girls of different races, thinking that there would definitely be people who liked boys and girls in Dongying, so he sent these children to Jingshi for sale.
