Chapter 698: The Future of Sakai Port
Although the Oda family, which still needed to rely on Sakai Port as a helper in the past, has long since become a behemoth. However, in the hearts of the Sakai Port "Ten Free Self-Government Members", even this could not be confronted by the 200,000 Sakai people who worked together.
The one-country-two-system proposed by Wang Tianxie is simply a big joke.
"Hehe, what Mr. Tanaka said just now, can it be considered that the following is the unanimous opinion of the monarchs? In that case, then my Oda family had no choice but to reluctantly break the peace of Sakai Port for nearly a hundred years. Wang Tianxie said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"You're deceiving people too much!"
Tanaka and the guards were so angry that they scolded.
"How much do I deceive? So what is the agreement between Mr. Tanaka and His Royal Highness Yoshiaki Ashikaga? Wang Tianxie suddenly shouted at Tanaka and the guards.
His words made Tanaka and the guards instantly whiter than the white-powder that the ministers used to smear on their faces, and also made the hearts of the rest of the Sakai Port "Ten Free Self-Government Members" "pop" in their hearts.
If Wang Tianxiao said the word "transaction", no one present would have any reaction.
After all, although Sakai Port's "Ten Free Self-Government Leaders" is considered to be the commander of Sakai Port, to put it bluntly, it is actually the Sakai Port is the largest ten businessmen in the city.
Since he is a businessman, it is very normal to have business with anyone. However, since Wang Tianxie used the word "agreement", there is a big problem here.
As for Ashikaga Yoshiaki...... Everyone present is not familiar with Ashikaga Yoshiaki, so they can go and find a piece of tofu in the city and kill him.
"With the guards! What His Highness Heavenly Evil said is true? ”
The remaining eight members of the Sakai Port "Ten Men of Freedom and Self-Government," including Shonzaemon, immediately questioned Tanaka and the guards after hearing Wang Tianxie's words.
"You! You're sowing discord! You guys! Don't believe him! He's spewing blood! Tanaka and the guards immediately panicked and hurriedly shouted loudly.
It's just that whether it is his weak tone or his angry and panicked look. In the capital, everyone here has to be suspicious.
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”
Wang Tianxie smiled and clapped his hands.
As soon as he finished clapping his hands, a teenager opened the sliding door and walked into the side room of the izakaya.
"Aren't you the child of the guards and Shiro? How did you get here without staying in Sakai Port? Shozaemon asked in surprise when he saw the young man walking in.
"Uncle Saemon, who has changed his name to Sen no Rikyu and joined the Oda family, served as the tea head of His Royal Highness Nobuko, and will be a retainer of the Oda family in the future." Tanaka and Shiro explained as they bowed to Shozaemon.
The words of Yoshiro Tanaka. There was a little surprise to everyone present...... Well, that's just a hint. Young people, it is natural for them to pursue their dreams and ideals.
Especially on the other side of the sea, isn't there still a saying in the Ming Kingdom that "good birds choose trees to live"? No, how awkward this sentence sounds, isn't my Sakai Port a good piece of wood?
Shoezaemon and the others couldn't help but blush a little for their thoughts.
In other words, since Wang Tianxie started this negotiation, the faces of everyone present have been playing a game of changing faces like those jugglers in the Daming Kingdom across the sea, one will be red and the other will be white. One will be redder, the other will be whiter!
"Uncles, my father has agreed to respond to the call of His Royal Highness Ashikaga Yoshiaki and order us to assist the Mori family and the Takeda family in resisting the Oda family." Tanaka and Shiro looked at the uncles present who were the "Ten Leaders of Freedom and Self-Government" in Sakai Port, and said in a shocking voice.
His words suddenly surprised everyone present, and their faces changed suddenly.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, although Wang Tianxie's one-country-two-system proposal is overbearing, it is not unacceptable.
According to Wang's interpretation, the port of Sakai will always be free and self-governing. The Oda family didn't bother too much about Sakai Port.
Although there will be more military formations of the Oda family stationed, but for them merchants. In fact, there is nothing to lose. On the contrary, if something happens, the Oda family will be the backbone of Sakai Port.
It is true that the other nine members of the Sakai Port "Ten Men of Freedom and Self-Government" here did not think that such an accident would occur.
The thing that this group of businessmen pays attention to is not who has become the first person in the world, but whether their fundamental interests have been damaged.
As long as you can continue to make money, continue to make a fortune. Whether it is the Oda family becoming the first person in the world, or the Maori family, the Takeda family, or even the Ashikaga Yoshiaki counterattack, sweeping away all the daimyo in the world, their group of businessmen will not care.
"There is that kung fu to fight for the world. It's better to make a lot of money and make a fortune from the war! That's what they do.
However, it was not the same when Tanaka made an agreement between Hyobei and Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
If what Tanaka and Shiro said is true, and Tanaka and Beibei really have such an agreement with Ashikaga Yoshiaki, then Sakai Port will break its previous neutral posture and be involved in the troubled waters of this Warring States period.
This would definitely turn into a great disaster for Sakai Port, and it was also something that the rest of the Sakai Port "Free Self-Government Ten Members" did not want to see.
"You idiot!"
His son's words undoubtedly made Tanaka and Bingwei can't help but point at him and scold.
Tanaka and the guards were very resentful at the moment.
However, with the help of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, Takeda Katsuyori, Mori Terumoto and others, he was able to achieve greater development of the Tanaka family, and in one fell swoop surpassed the remaining nine families of the "Ten Leaders of Freedom and Self-Government" in Sakai Port, and became the person behind Sakai Port.
Tanaka and the Guard's idea is still very much in line with the businessman's idea of profit-seeking. Of course, with his current strength, it is not enough to make his mind clear.
It's a pity that Sen no Rikyu suddenly exploded his plan in front of Sakai Port's "Ten Liberal Self-Government Leaders", which made him a little overwhelmed.
Could it be that he was asked to explain that he just wanted to be the first person in Sakai Port and trample the other nine friends here? If he dared to explain like that, I'm afraid he wouldn't have to expect to leave Azuchi Castle today.
Mr. Tanaka...... What else do you have to say? Is it my Oda family that is aggressive, or are you yourself guilty and can't live? Wang Tianxie suddenly interjected.
"Uh......" Tanaka and the guards were a little speechless.
Even when he usually negotiates business with other customers in his fish house, he is so talkative. I still feel a little speechless at this moment.
"My Oda family has always made it their mission to restore His Majesty the Emperor and to put an end to the troubled times of the Warring States, and this negotiation with the Sakai Port princes is also aimed at this purpose." Wang Tianxie continued to add fuel to the fire.
I don't have to burn you to death today, I won't be surnamed Wang!
Thanks to the debating skills in the school in the memory of the previous life, the words and deeds of Li Huamei, the royal sister of the iceberg cat, when she was in Nanyang Brunei, have personally experienced it for more than ten years. Wang Tianxie's words not only occupied the righteousness of the world, but also made everyone present think that he was really thinking about Sakai Port.
Since whether it is himself, Oda Nobuko, or even Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the great fox of Yoshiaki, in fact, he has done so many things just to get the power of Sakai Port.
Of course, the most important thing is to use what means to make the other party willing.
At the very least, the method that Wang Tianxie is using now is ten or twenty times better than that of Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
"Sakai Port has a unique advantage. In addition, with the Oda's Osaka Bay seaport as a support, it is bound to reach a higher level in the future, and this is where our fundamental interests lie. No matter what I say, Oda Wang Tianxi, I can barely be considered a member of Sakai Port, and of course I have to think about Sakai Port. After Wang Tianxie finished playing the "chicken killing card", he began to play the "emotional card".
He said, "No matter how much I say it, Oda Wang Tianxi, I can barely be considered a member of Sakai Port, of course, for the sake of Sakai Port." Suddenly, everyone present except Tanaka and the guards felt comfortable and relaxed in their hearts.
Tanaka and the guard cup.
For the sake of Sen no Rikyu's face, whether it is Wang Tianxie or the remaining nine members of the Sakai Port "Ten Persons of Freedom and Self-Government". None of them were too difficult for Tanaka and the guards.
The end of Tanaka and the guards will be house arrest for the rest of their lives.
As for all his inheritance, it was given to his son Sen no Rikyu. Ninety per cent of the existing property was withdrawn. It is divided among everyone else present.
For this ending, Tanaka and the guards with dead faces were forced to accept it in desperation.
Sen no Rikyu inherited the identity of his father Tanaka and Guard, and became a member of the "Ten Leaders of Freedom and Self-Government" in Sakai Port.
With this episode between Tanaka and Guard, the Oda family successfully settled in Sakai Port, and was unanimously approved by the "Ten Leaders of Freedom and Self-Government" in Shin-Sakai Port.
After the Oda family settled in, Sakai Port not only still had its own autonomy. In addition, he received suggestions for the future construction of the Oda family carefully designed by Wang Tianxi, the Heavenly Ghost Ichimai Hime, the God of Fortune Rihime, the Ise Bay Dark Realm Ji God of Fortune, and Yukihime Takenaka.
This proposal includes the advantages of Sakai Port's future development, the experience of the Oda family's tax system, and the Oda family's future business planning and regulatory blueprint.
It can be said that all the mysteries of the Oda family's ability to grow from a small Owari province to fourteen countries in just about thirteen years are all in this proposal.
Although there are some things in it that are not suitable for Sakai Port, after all, there are many policies in the Oda family. It's all measured from a commercial point of view plus a military point of view.
For the future development of Sakai Port, it is definitely a great help to be able to refer to the Oda family's economic secrets.
In addition, the military strength of Sakai Port was finally greatly improved after the addition of the Oda family.
None of you knew that the Mori family, which owned the ten provinces of Kansai, had surrendered to the Oda family.
When the surrender is successfully completed with the Mori family in March next year, the Oda family will directly own Harima Province, so that the entire Osaka Bay will really be completely in the hands of the Oda family.
As a result, the only other forces that Sakai Port will have to face will be the six countries of Nankaido.
Among them, Ashikaga Yoshiaki of Awaji Province will be the biggest threat, and a little further away will be the Shikoku Islands of Awa Province, Sanuki Province, Iyo Province, and Tosa Province, which are also part of the six countries of Nankaido.
As for the last of the six countries of Nankaido, it is Kii Province, which has long belonged to the Oda family. Since it is the territory of the Oda family, there is naturally no need to worry about it at all.
The Sakai Port "Ten Men of Freedom and Self-Government" stayed in Azuchi Castle for four days before taking their leave and returning to Sakai Port.
Sen no Rikyu did not stay in Azuchi Castle because he had just inherited his father's inheritance, but returned to Sakai Port with his uncle to handle the family affairs, and did not return to Azuchi Castle until the New Year's celebration.
With the successful completion of this negotiation, the Takenaka half-guard began to get busy again.
The joint celebration of the Oda family's Osaka Bay and Sakai Port has finally begun to enter the real set-up.
Although there is not much time left before the New Year, the Oda family's existing ashigaru team is no longer a small number, and with the Sakai people in Sakai Port, the number of people in the venue this time has reached the highest level in history.
The Takenaka half-guards divided the staff into two groups, taking turns to work for six hours a day, in order to work day and night. This is the power of the state apparatus, and if someone has money, he will not have to worry about time.
Finally, when the time came on December 28, the entire Osaka Bay port was brightly lit.
Red lanterns can be seen hanging high everywhere, more than a dozen giant drums of five people hugging each other are arranged in the open space of the port, and various ribbon decorations can be seen everywhere.
These taiko drums will be performed in rotation for three days and three nights during the festival, and the sound of drums will resound throughout Osaka Bay.
Sakai Port is no exception, and the same arrangement can be seen everywhere, and everyone's faces are beaming.
The Sakai people, who lived in Sakai Port, had already learned of the consensus with the Oda family from the mouth of the "Ten Men of Freedom and Self-Government".
Of course, this one-country-two-system is not indefinite.
In the past two days, Wang Tianxie has already negotiated with the Sakai Port "Ten Persons of Freedom and Self-Government".
The Oda family settled in Sakai Port, and the discussion of developing with Sakai Port would only last for 50 years.
Fifty years later, the Oda family will withdraw from Sakai Port.
As Wang Tianxie had expected, as long as the economic interests of this group of businessmen were not violated, then this group of businessmen would not care whether there were any other military formations stationed in them.
This is also the first time in the past hundreds of years that Sakai Port has truly had the power of another country successfully break into the free and autonomous land of Sakai Port, and it has been willingly accepted by all Sakai people.
However, Wang Tianxie is very confident that even if it does not take fifty years, he will have all kinds of methods, so that Sakai Port will never be able to get out of the situation where he can survive by relying on the Oda family.
At the very least, the development potential and various advantages of Osaka Bay are much greater than those of Sakai Port, and Wang Tianxie is not worried about this at all. (To be continued......)
