The boat had been repaired, Ren Siqi didn't want to delay any longer, everyone got on the boat and sailed away from the island. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Nagasaki, I'll definitely go find you!" On the coast, Amakusa Kaede reluctantly looked at the departing sail shadow, muttering to himself.

Yamada Kazetaro dragged his sick body to the shore and looked at his little master with pity.

"Uncle Yamada, why did you come out, it's windy here, let's go back to the island quickly." Amakusa Kaede hurriedly ran to Yamada and said blamefully.

"Young master, rest assured, Yamada's body is very strong, and he will get better soon. When the time comes, I will take the young master to Nagasaki to look for a benefactor. There is no place for us in Japan. Yamada Futaro said to Amakusa Kaede with a smile on his face.

In less than half a day's voyage, the "Exocet" and "Fukuchun" arrived in the waters of Nagasaki.

In recent years, the Japanese shogunate pursued the policy of "closing the country to the outside world", retaining only one port of Nagasaki for foreign trade, and only Ming ships and the Dutch were allowed to trade in the port.

Outside of Nagasaki, there is an archipelago of five large islands and dozens of nearby islands, known as the Goto Islands in present-day Japan. During the Jiajing period, the Hui people Wang Zhi took this place as a base, gathered tens of thousands, known as the "Hui King", the fleet was vertical and horizontal, and gathered here, even the Japanese shogunate did not dare to speak.

Nearly a hundred years have passed, and the heroes of the past have passed away, but this is still the world of Daming maritime merchants. First of all, Li Dan was entrenched in Hirado and Nagasaki, crisscrossing the four seas, and there were his fleets everywhere from the South Seas to the North Sea, and even the disputes between the Ming Dynasty naval army and the Dutch were mediated by him. Then there is Zheng Zhilong, inherited Li Dan's fleet, and continued to crisscross the Japanese waters, Zheng Zhilong accepted the imperial court's recruitment, became the chief soldier of the Ming Dynasty, and since then the officials and bandits have dominated the Ming Dynasty to the Japanese waters, and then after the defeat of the Dutch in Luowan, he completely controlled the route to Japan.

At this time, the Wudao Islands were Zheng Zhilong's chassis, and there were many industries of the Zheng family on the island.

Ren Siqi's Qiyun Commercial Bank has nothing to do with the Zheng family, this is just buying the Zheng family's water standard, that is, paying a protection fee, of course, there is no way to rest on the Zheng family's territory. The fleet sailed straight into the port of Nagasaki.

The entire harbor was empty, not a single large ship was left, only small Japanese-style boats cruising around the harbor.

"What's going on? Aren't we in the wrong place? Sima Nan muttered.

"It's a good thing that there are no ships, which means that our ships came the earliest, and you forgot about the hurricane?" Ren Siqi said lightly.

Seeing the Ming ship coming, a small boat flew out of the harbor and diligently guided the two big ships into the port.

When the ship was moored, before they could go ashore, Ren Siqi and the others felt the enthusiasm of the Japanese.

Countless people rushed to the dock, either speaking Japanese or speaking the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty, and warmly greeted the crew who had not yet disembarked.

The face of the Japanese merchant with his hair in a bun and his shaved forehead was full of smiles; A Japanese prostitute dressed in fancy clothes, with a thick rouge on her face and a folding fan half-covering her face, her eyes flattering at the crew; There are also Ming people wearing Ming clothes and standing respectfully on the dock. Everyone was waiting respectfully at the dock, waiting for the crew of Qiyun Commercial House to disembark.

"My mother, this is too enthusiastic!" Some of the crew members stared blankly at the crowd below, sighing.

"Look, there are so many Japanese girls, look at that figure, look at that skin, tsk!" This crew member has a different focus.

Almost everyone in Qiyun Commercial Bank went to Japan for the first time, even the old crew members Mao 18 and Sima Nan also took the Japanese route for the first time, and they didn't understand the form of Japan at all, and they were all dumbfounded and didn't dare to get off the ship.

"Go, first find someone who can speak the Ming language." Ren Siqi commanded.

Soon, a man dressed in a Ming shirt got on the "Flying Fish" in the envious eyes of other Japanese people.

"Contemptible Hou Yonggui, a native of Jinhua, Zhejiang, came to Japan during the Wanli period, and now works as a businessman in Japan." This Ming man named Hou Yonggui bowed down and saluted when he got on the boat, and introduced himself very respectfully.

"Brother Hou is invited, in the next Siqi, a native of Yinxian County, Zhejiang, it is the first time to come to Japan, and I ask Brother Hou to take care of me." Ren Siqi replied.

"This is the chief owner of our Qiyun Commercial Bank, but he is a talented master!" Anthony emphasized on the side that this guy is now more and more doglegged.

"It turned out to be a talented old man, it's really disrespectful and disrespectful!" Hou Yonggui really stood in awe, the scholars who had meritorious names in the Ming Dynasty were very respected, and the meritorious ones who were willing to run around the sea were even rarer! Maybe it's the son of a big family who formed a fleet to go to sea for fun, but I haven't heard that there is a family surnamed Ren in Zhejiang! Hou Yonggui thought secretly in his heart, and the smile on his face became even thicker.

"Brother Hou, if you don't know what is going on, please ask Brother Hou to see you. Why are the Japanese people in this port so enthusiastic, is it not that the Ming ships are like this every time they come here? Ren Siqi asked puzzled.

"Presumably, this is the first time for Ren Gongzi to come to Japan," Hou Yonggui explained diligently: "The Japanese are enthusiastic about the Ming merchants, but they will not be like this every time. This time, it's just that they have been waiting for the Ming merchants for too long! ”

Through Hou Yonggui's speech, Ren Siqi slowly understood.

You must know that in ancient times, shipping did not want to be modern, and it was completely dependent on wind currents to sail. Although Daming is not very far from Japan, from Zhejiang to Kyushu in Japan is more than a thousand miles, but it is not always possible to go to Japan by boat. The wind is dangerous and the waves are fierce, and there are not too many days suitable for sea navigation in a year, and most of the maritime merchants of the Ming Dynasty take advantage of the southeast monsoon in summer to come to Japan from the Ming Dynasty, and then change the wind direction to the northwest monsoon in winter, and then leave Japan.

However, this year, the southeast monsoon came a little late, and a hurricane that suddenly appeared off the coast of Daming some time ago blew over many ships, causing more ships to take refuge in the harbor and wait for the hurricane to leave completely before daring to travel. So this year, the ships from Daming have not arrived for a long time, and Ren Siqi's fleet turned out to be the first batch of ships!

Since Nagasaki is Japan's only port for foreign trade, it naturally raised a large number of people who lived by sea trade, and the delay in the arrival of the Ming sea ships naturally caused a blow to their lives, so when they heard that there were Ming ships to the port, everyone rushed to the dock like crazy.

"Childe, you are in Japan for the first time, you must not have your own place of residence, the business in the next is not far from the dock, and the cleaning is quite clean, if Childe does not dislike it, you can stay in the shop." Hou Yonggui diligently took over the business.

Ren Siqi nodded with a smile and accepted his kindness, Hou Yonggui got off the boat with great joy, and his men went back to the store to clean up and prepare to welcome the guests.
