The reason why Zhuo Wenyuan can boast of Haikou is because although he is a big household in Yuyao, he is secretly also engaged in private salt trading, and his relationship network is all over Zhejiang, which is naturally related to some strongmen and local snakes, and Wu Shu is also very interested in this, so that if he promises to succeed, he will sponsor Zhuo Wenyuan to be the magistrate of the county, and Zhuo, who is full of joy, will naturally operate it.

However, it takes time to contact the powerful in various places, and the risk of rebellion is great, and people with a heart naturally have to weigh one or two before making a decision, since it is not achieved overnight, Wu Shu did not completely pin his hope on the response of a few local tyrants, but a down-to-earth arrangement, successively occupied the Qing army abandoned Chang (Guo) Shi (Pu) two water villages and further occupied the entire territory of Xiangshan in mid-April, and played Zheng Kezhang to rebuild the Ming Dynasty Zhejiang Political Division.

On the fifth day of the fifth month of the 45th year of Yongli, Zheng Kezhang officially dismissed Hong Lei from the post of participating in politics in the political hall and recommended him to Zheng Jianguo as the secretary of the military department and the superintendent of military affairs in eastern Zhejiang. Zheng Jianguo of course agreed to Zheng Kezang's proposal, and appointed Chen Shenwu as the governor of eastern Zhejiang. On the same day, Zheng Kezhang appointed Wu Shu, the commander of Jieyangbo, as the chief of the Zhejiang capital and the general army, and thus the first provincial-level organ of the Ming and Zheng regimes on the mainland was announced.

On 17 May, the newly formed Fifth Regiment of the Zheng Army's Hailongxiang Division landed in Haitan. Three days later, Zheng Kezhang dismissed Yang Ying from his post as a senator in the Political Affairs Hall and recommended him as the secretary of the military department and the superintendent of military affairs in eastern Mindong. Zheng Kezhang also appointed Wu Qian, the former secretary of the General Political Department, as the right senator of the Fujian Buzheng Department and the governor of eastern Fujian, and appointed Yueqing Bohong Gongzhu as the Fujian capital secretary and general soldier, so the second provincial-level unit of Ming Zheng in the mainland was also formally established.

On 21 May, Zheng Kezhang appointed Ke Ping and Zheng Bin as the left and right members of the Political Affairs Hall to participate in politics, and Lin Sheng was promoted to the General Chapter to participate in the military. It was not until the end of June that Zheng Kezhang completed the rearrangement of personnel, so far the influence of Chen Xianqiao's family and his relatives Hong in the military and political affairs of the Ming and Zheng Central Governments was quietly weakened

"Since the beginning of spring this year, the amount of fish caught by the Ezo people has decreased significantly, and it is not even half of the same period last year." In a fanya in Matsumae Town, the Ryohama Group, an organization of businessmen from Omi, held a meeting with a solemn expression. "We must not sit idly by and watch the current situation, otherwise this year's business is destined to lose money."

As the saying goes, the merchants who did everything to lose money did not do business, and the merchants present contracted the management rights of various parts of Ezo from the Matsumae Domain according to the local system, and each of them had to pay more than 200 taels of silver to the Matsumae Domain every year for this purpose, so they were not willing to watch the money go down the drain.

"The situation has been clarified, it is a group of merchants from Dongning who privately set up a trading house, a castle and a boat yard at the mouth of the Ishikari River, and they buy wood and meat from the Ezo people for the sake of building large ships with sake and rice.

"Dongning?" Although I feel that this term is a little unfamiliar, the merchants of Ezo are not a closed group, and when they mutter to each other, they naturally understand each other's origins. "Does the feudal lord know about this, the Dongning people came uninvited, it is obviously a violation of Japan's territory, and the feudal lord must be asked to stop it."

"The lord of the domain is visiting Hajj in Edo, and the big boss of the domain does not dare to have a dispute with the people of Dongning lightly." One participant said dissatisfied. "They were frightened by the number of iron cannons in the hands of the Dongning people, and it was in vain that we paid them so much money every year."

"But the number of Dongning warriors is indeed too much." Another businessman said distressedly. "So far, it is said that the banners of five or six reserve troops have been discovered, not to mention that there are **100 people, even if the samurai and peasant soldiers of the entire Matsumae Domain are mobilized, it is only one-third of the Dongning people, how can this battle be fought?"

The other merchant blinked and said, "Maybe we can add the ronin we recruited." ”

"The shogunate had a law of nothing in the world a few years ago, and according to this law, no daimyo was allowed to fight privately." A businessman who sat a little farther away replied with a gloomy face. "So even if we can drive out the Dongning people, if the shogunate knows what we are doing, not to mention that we can't stop the end of the four people, I'm afraid the Matsumae Domain will have to clear up the relationship immediately."

As soon as this sentence was said, the merchants present were silent, yes, the shogunate was waiting for the withdrawal of the feudal domain early in the morning, will the Matsumae feudal clan be of the same mind as the merchants at this time? After being silent for a long time, a merchant said slowly, "Can you go to Edo to petition?" ”

"How is that possible?" The host immediately denied it. "Sandu merchants who can speak in front of the shogunate don't dare to petition casually, let alone us." Everyone knows the subtext of the host, if you want to petition the shogunate, you must first prepare more than 100,000 taels of tribute, and as for the cost of dotting, you have to calculate it separately, even if it is all smooth, and the submission is in the hands of the elders in the shogunate, the ten ** will have to eat back the ticket, and such a large expense is not something that the small merchants who run the Ezo land can afford. "So as long as you put pressure on the Matsumae Domain, you can get them through the joints of the shogunate."

"That's a lot of money." Santaro Boila shook his head desperately. "We are all small businesses, and it is not easy to accumulate this little money, if we invest in this bottomless pit, I don't know how long it will take to return to our capital, so in my opinion, it is better to provoke the Ezo people to attack the camp in Dongning, so that everything will be fine if the Ezo people win, even if the Ezo people lose, it will not cause us much damage, and the matter is also big, and it is impossible for the Matsumae clan to stay out of the matter."

This method is good, and the merchants nodded frequently, but only a few people questioned: "Dongning's hands and feet are bigger than ours, how can we make the beneficiary Ezo people attack them?" ”

"Not all tribes have benefited." Santaro Boila smiled slightly. "There are also many fights between the various tribes of the Ezo people, as long as we operate well, there are naturally some Ezo people who don't want to see their old opponents become stronger."

"Although the idea of the house is good, but the combat power of the Ezo people?" Kudoya Shinichiro's ancestor is also a samurai with Miao characters, and naturally thinks that his knowledge of the art of war is not comparable to that of some businessmen around him, so when he saw the big guys, he was full of praise for the construction of Santaro Kaiya, and he was jealous and immediately jumped out to object. "This is not to create trouble for the people of Dongning, but for ourselves," he explained triumphantly when he saw the puzzled crowd. "If the people of Ezo are killed by the people of Dongning, who will we rely on to provide the catch?"

A group of merchants let out a sudden sigh of enlightenment, and at this time, Shinichiro, who had won a great victory, took the opportunity to say: "Instead of trying to find a way to expel the Dongning people, it is better to choose to force the tribes of West Ezo not to accept the employment of the Dongning people, and not to provide the Dongning people with materials such as large wood, so that the Dongning people cannot gain a foothold in West Ezo, so naturally they can only leave." ”

"There is a saying in Chinese that a soldier who surrenders without a fight, and Kudoya's move is in line with the gist of the art of war." The merchant next to Shinichiro complimented him, but as soon as the smile on Shinichiro's face appeared, he listened to this man continue. "But what if the people of West Ezo are unwilling to accept our request?"

"What should I do?" Kudoya Shinichiro said murderously. "Please come forward to crusade against this unsubordinate, I think the domain may not be able to make up its mind whether to fight against the Dongning people, but against the Ezo people, the Matsumae domain should have this power, at most, we will contribute the guards of their respective merchant houses, and let the feudal clan be incorporated into the crusade team."

As soon as the words landed, the merchants on the side nodded frequently, knowing that as early as the ninth year of Kanbun (1669), the Matsumae Domain had failed miserably in the attack on the West Ezo Domain, so the direct rule of the Matsumae Domain had never extended to the entire Ezo Domain, and now with such an opportunity and the full support of the merchants, I believe that the Matsumae Domain will be tempted.

At this time, he was unwilling to accept that his construction was vetoed, and retorted: "What if the Dongning people come to help the West Ezo people?" ”

"The Dongning people have built a city and a ship yard and need to be guarded, how many soldiers and horses can they draw to help the various departments of West Ezo?" Shinichiro replied confidently. "Even if they send troops to support, are the Japanese samurai inferior to them? Perhaps after being defeated in the field, the Dongning people were so frightened that they fled from Ezo. ”

The merchants chuckled, but only the boiled house still frowned: "The key is whether the feudal lord is willing to take this risk." ”

"If we can't make money, the Matsumae clan won't get any more money next year." Shinichiro responded with a hideous face. "I think the bigwigs of the domain should understand this."

"Kudoya has a point." The host nodded, and said the final word. "In this case, let's make a prayer to the Matsumae Domain, and besides, if the Matsumae Domain sends troops to pay a part of the military expenses, I have estimated that about 600 kan is about the same, and I ask each house to pay according to the old proportion."

"Slow!" Kudoya Shinichiro shouted. "Ihonya is willing to pay half of that." Someone rushed to pay for it, which was a new thing, so the businessmen all looked at Shinichiro, not knowing what he was planning, but the mystery was soon revealed. "However, after driving out the Dongning people, the dock they left behind needs to be handed over to Kudoya to operate."

"Kudoya is so calculating, how big a ship can be built in one dock with so many." Santaro Boila, who had just been robbed of the limelight, immediately sang the opposite tune. "In this way, I will also send three hundred times, how about handing over this dock to me when the time comes?"

"You?" Shinichiro looked at the house coldly. "I'm bound to get this dock."

The house said disapprerovingly: "Then I'll go out four hundred." ”

"Okay, don't fight." Seeing that the two of them had a tendency to be angry, the host interrupted with a light cough. "The castle of the Dongning people will be destroyed according to the shogunate system, as for the dock, will the Matsumae clan let it go or two words, one qiē will wait until the Dongning people are driven away."
