The pier of Hirado Castle was decorated with a cross-patterned flag, and a dozen samurai led hundreds of light infantry to control the pier.

134 merchant ships from the Eastern Han Dynasty docked at the wharf, mighty and mighty, and 400 warships escorted it, and Mi Zhu, the captain of Dongdu School, couldn't help frowning when he saw the unprecedented flag.

The last time he visited Hirado Castle, the flag of the lord of Hirado Castle was not a cross.

If the samurai who suddenly appeared at the docks were another force of Toei, then the problem would be quite serious.

"Stand down, this is a guest from Xuzhou. I take refuge in your Shimazu family, but your Shimazu family must not mess around in Hirado. ”

The lord of Hirado Castle, Taira Yoshimori, appeared and stopped the Shimazu samurai who were trying to loot the merchant ships of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The samurai of the Shimazu family seemed to be afraid of the daimyo of Taira Yoshimori, so they stopped their dangerous thoughts.

Mi Zhu led a group of Xuzhou merchants to get off the ship, and his eyes swept over this group of warriors of unknown origin, and his eyes were arrogant.

Mi Zhu is a humble gentleman in Xuzhou, but he will still inevitably have a sense of pride in front of the barbarians, he comes from the vast Han, how can these barbarians be neglected? Which one of the alien races who dared to provoke the Han Dynasty had a good end?

The Xiongnu provoked the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious and sent Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to fight until Mobei!

Wei's Joseon refused to pay tribute to the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent 50,000 troops to destroy it!

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked for a bloody horse, but was rejected by the king of Dawan, and the envoys of the Han Dynasty scolded the king of Dawan on the spot, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty then sent Li Guangli to expedition to Dawan, forcing the nobles of Dawan to kill the king and sue for peace with the Han Dynasty!

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the general Dou Xian Yanran made a meritorious service, and was crowned the champion Hou, such as the story of Huo Qu's illness, Ban Chao shocked the Western Regions, and the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions did not dare to disobey!

The Han Dynasty died strongly, and the princes of the late Han Dynasty who inherited the style of Han Wu fought even more without saying a word, and conquered every year!

Mi Zhu regarded himself as an envoy of the Han Dynasty at this time, and sent an envoy to Dongying to preside over trade affairs, how could he be deterred by a samurai of unknown origin?

Because of the arrogance of Mi Zhu and other Xuzhou officials, the samurai of the Shimazu family have been restrained, and it is difficult to judge how strong the power behind Mi Zhu is.

The tougher you are, the more they fear and even please you, and the weaker you are, the more they will kick their noses in the face.

It's a pity that they are facing officials and merchants with the martial style of the Han Dynasty this time!

"Lord Pingcheng, on behalf of the great country, we have come to trade with you, why are we facing each other?"

Mi Zhu asked the lord of Hirado Castle, Hei Yoshimori.

Ping Yisheng has experienced the national war and knows the terrible strength of Xuzhou Mu, so he hurriedly pleaded guilty: "This matter is a long story......

Taira Yoshimori invited Mi Zhu to the castle tower of Hirado Castle, and he didn't dare to slack off.

Mi Zhu and the others held their heads high, and they were not afraid of harming themselves at all.

If something happens to them in Dongying, their lord's guild will destroy the entire Dongying, avenge them, raise the prestige of the Han Dynasty, and emulate the story of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!

The envoys who offended the Han Dynasty risked being destroyed!

The samurai of the Shimazu family looked at the Xuzhou merchant ships anchored at the docks of Hirado Castle, their eyes showing greed. The cargo of each merchant ship may be worth 10,000 taels of silver!

If this wealth can be plundered, the Shimazu family can at least expand the army by tens of thousands of people, increasing the possibility of Kamiraku.

But they didn't dare.

The alien of Toei informed the Shimazu family that on the other side of the sea, there was a powerful Han civilization that could not be provoked.

The first thing Dongying Yiren thought about was not to provoke the Liaodong Taishou of the Han Empire like the Goryeo Kingdom, the first thing they thought about was how not to anger the Han Empire.

Compared with the aliens, the warriors of the Warring States of Dongying did not know the horror of the Han Empire, so there was a scene of attempting to loot the merchant ships of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The sailors of the Fuba Legion, who were in charge of escorting the merchant ships, went ashore and confronted the Satsuma samurai of the Shimazu family with crossbows.

Zheng Zhilong and Xu Sheng, the commanders of the Fubo Legion, did not arrive, but the more than 1,000 sailors of the Fubo Legion were still fearless. If the barbarians dare to come forward and plunder the ships, they will immediately release arrows and shoot the Dongying barbarians!

This group of soldiers also has a very high martial spirit, and the pride of the Han Dynasty is imprinted in their bones.

Although this is Dongying, although there is a possibility that the samurai will be besieged and wiped out, they will not hesitate to maintain the dignity of the Great Han!

They came peacefully to trade, and if they wanted to offend, they had to step over their corpses! And the Xuzhou pastor behind them will never die!

This was the attitude of the Han Empire in dealing with the surrounding civilizations!

Chen Tang said that those who offend my big man, although they are far away, will be punished, it is not a cliché, but they will really do it.

Even during the period of secession at the end of the Han Dynasty, princes such as Gongsun Zan and Cao Cao could still suppress the tribes such as Wuhuan, Xiongnu, and Nanban.

The Satsuma samurai saw that the sailors and soldiers of the Fuba Legion were tense, and they were obviously in the territory of Toying, but they could not be beaten, so they immediately coaxed and left the dock under the leadership of the leading samurai.

At the castle tower of Hirado Castle, the lord of the castle held a banquet to entertain merchants from Xuzhou.

Mi Zhu, who is usually gentle and elegant, was aggressive at this time, still holding on to what had just happened: "Please also ask the city lord of Ping to give us Xuzhou merchants a reasonable explanation, otherwise, it will bring about the destruction of the country!" ”

Taira Yoshimori felt the strength of the Han envoys represented by Mi Zhu, and signaled Mi Zhu to calm down: "Last time you left Hirado Castle, I sent troops to fight against the Otomo family and the Shimazu family, but unfortunately I was defeated and was forced to surrender to the Shimazu family and claim to the Shimazu family. After more than five years of conquest, the Satsuma army of the Shimazu family now controls the island of Kyushu and is accumulating forces to attack the islands of Shikoku or Honshu and compete with Oda Nobunaga for the world. The world I am referring to is the four islands of Dongying. ”

Ping Yisheng coughed twice, and in order to prevent misunderstanding, he specially pointed out.

Dongying's imitation of the Eastern Han civilization is too obvious.

The Eastern Han Dynasty took the territory of the Han Empire as the world, and the Dongying Dynasty took the four islands as the world.

In the Toei civilization, the daimyo corresponded to the princes, and "Kamiraku" refers to the action of the daimyo leading troops into Kyoto. Luo, that is, Luoyang. It is similar to coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, or the Spring and Autumn Period to win the Central Plains.

It can be seen that Dongying is somewhat similar to the miniature version of the Eastern Han Dynasty, after all, it is inevitably influenced by Han civilization.

"You mean the Shimazu family occupied the island of Kyushu? Now you're just a retainer of the Shimazu family? ”

Mi Zhu's anger came down at this time, and he was forced to adapt to the changes in Dongying.

Originally, he was not a short-tempered person, but he was offended by the samurai of the Shimazu family, thinking that he was despised by the barbarians, so he was furious.

After calming down, Mi Zhu formed a concept of the situation in Dongying.

Toei has four islands, Kyushu, Shikoku, Honshu, and Hokkaido.

Among them, Honshu Island has the largest population, and the number of Sengoku daimyo (princes) is also the largest, and ruthless people such as Oda Nobunaga, Takeda Shingen, and Uesugi Kenshin are also on Honshu Island.

The second is Kyushu Island, and Kyushu Island also has several ruthless people, such as the Shimazu family and the Otomo family.

Again Shikoku Island.

Finally, Hokkaido.

The princes of the Han Empire were doing their best to unify the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the various daimyo of the Eastern Ying were also desperately trying to unify the Eastern Ying, wanting to defeat a strong opponent, successfully ascend to Luo, and issue an order that there was nothing to do in the world, ending the turmoil of the Warring States of the Eastern Ying.

Now Kyushu Island is basically unified by the Shimadzu family. As one of the daimyos of Kyushu Island, the player Taira Yoshimori was defeated and chose to surrender to the Shimazu family.

As the captain of Dongdu, Mi Zhu is not only engaged in trade, but also shoulders the mission of exploring the situation in Dongying.

When Chu Tian was chasing the Central Plains, he peeked around from time to time. Around the Eastern Han civilization, the population of Goryeo was less than one large state in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the population of the Eastern Ying Kingdom was between one and two states. Compared with the Goryeo Kingdom, Chu Tian thought that it would be more difficult to conquer the Dongying Kingdom, after all, it was separated by the sea.

The expedition of the Yuan Dynasty to Dongying suffered a great loss.

"Why does the Shimazu family occupy Kyushu Island, and you can still be safe, with soldiers and horses, and a castle?"

Mi Zhu didn't know enough about the affairs between the Daimyo of Dongying.

Taira Yoshimori replied, "It's very simple, if I don't surrender voluntarily, it will take at least two or three years for the Shimazu family to occupy Hirado Castle, and the daimyo of Honshu Island and Shikoku Island will take advantage of the situation." Moreover, the way to conquer the daimyo here does not have to destroy each other, which is very different from yours. ”

"I see." Mi Zhu asked again, "Now that you are a vassal of the Shimazu family, is the trade treaty between us still valid?" ”

Mi Zhu united with the merchants of Xuzhou to organize a fleet to transport goods worth hundreds of thousands of taels, and the profits were innumerable, and if he lost the trade object of Pinghu City, the loss of Chutian would be more heavy than the loss of gold mines.

Taira Yoshimori said, "Please rest assured, the trade between Qu Prefecture and Hirado Castle is still counting. I, Taira Yoshimori, still control the territory around Hirado, and I will deal with the Satsuma samurai, and they don't dare to mess around. ”

Mi Zhu saw that Ping Yisheng intended to compromise, so he was satisfied.

At least Taira Yoshimori is different from the Satsuma samurai who died in the death, and Taira Yoshimori, as a player, knows the difference in national power between the two sides. The daimyo of Kyushu Island is not yet at the level of the state pastor of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Ping Yisheng had already heard that Chu Zimou, the great prince of the Han Empire behind Mi Zhu, already owned the territory of almost three states. That's three states!

The entire four islands of Dongying are combined, are there three states of Chu Zimou?

Ping Yisheng weighed it in his heart, he couldn't figure out whether Chu Zimou's territory was big now, or the four islands of Dongying, but there was no doubt that the man behind Mi Zhu, the Shimazu family on Kyushu Island, couldn't be provoked, and as a defeated, he couldn't afford to mess with it.

After Mi Zhu and the Xuzhou merchants were satisfied, Pingyi held a banquet to entertain the guests from the Eastern Han Dynasty, and invited singers to greet Mi Zhu and others.

"General, there is a group of Han Empire merchant ships entering Hirado City, at least a hundred merchant ships, and the goods are worth hundreds of thousands of taels. If we can get this shipment, our Shimazu family is more likely to go to Luo! ”

The samurai, who ran into a wall at the pier, came to Hirado Castle and met Shimazu Iehisa, the general of the Shimazu clan who had conquered Hirado Castle.

"Ping Yisheng is a minister, and he dares to trade with the Han Empire behind our back, and every year he obtains a large amount of customs duties from the trade. The strangers all say that the Han Empire is strong, and I will go to meet them for a while. ”

Shimazu Iehisa put down the wine bowl, dressed in the armor of the world, and broke into the castle tower.

When the samurai of Taira Yoshimori saw the fierce general from the Shimazu family, he broke out in a cold sweat. Shimazu Iehisa was a 15-year-old general, and with 3,000 defenders, he was a fierce general who blocked the attack of 40,000 enemies.

The wooden door was pushed open, and Shimazu Iehisa and a few samurai broke into the banquet between Taira Yoshimori and the merchants of Xuzhou.

Mi Zhu and other Xuzhou businessmen's eyes fell on Shimazu Iehisa, and their faces were unhappy.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, this was extremely rude.

Shimazu Iyahisa looked at the weak Mi Zhu and the Xuzhou businessman, his eyes were arrogant.

"Everyone, please continue."

The big men of Ping Yisheng couldn't afford to provoke them, so he quickly stopped Shimazu Iehisa and said in a low voice: "General, although I surrender to the head of the family, Hirado Castle is my fiefdom, you can't mess around!" ”

"Every year, you make a profit of at least 100,000 taels of silver from the trade of the Han Empire, and our Shimazu family will also divide this gold and silver."

"You ......" The Shimazu family, who was strong in front of Taira Yoshimori, gritted his teeth, "Yes, the Shimazu family can get a thirty percent share from it." ”

"Seventy percent!"

"General, don't go too far!"

Shimazu Iejiu's strength made Taira Yoshimori dissatisfied, the Shimazu family wanted to take seventy percent of the foreign trade income, and the remaining profits of Hira Yoshimori were pitiful, but Taira Yoshimori did not want the Shimazu family to provoke a war with the Eastern Han Dynasty, and was in a dilemma.

"Trying to plunder our caravan at the docks, but Your Excellency? The Shimazu family? Who gave you the courage to plunder the merchant ships of our Han Empire? ”

Mi Zhu took the initiative to provoke Shimazu Iehisa, and was almost sacked by the barbarians, which made Mi Zhu angry. If it weren't for the lord's focus on chasing the Central Plains, he would have instigated Chutian to destroy Dongying a long time ago.

The arrogance in the eyes of Xuzhou businessmen is no less than that of Shimazu Iehisa. Dongying's fierce generals are just as barbarian to them.

Shimazu Iehisa was only eighteen years old at this time, and although Mi Zhu did not scold, his words successfully provoked Shimazu Iehisa.

"This is Hirado, Kyushu Island has been controlled by the Shimazu family, and if the ships of the Han Empire want to trade in Hirado, they must obey!"

Shimazu Iehisa placed his left hand on the hilt of a katana and was not good at speaking.

"You want to make our envoys obey?"

The merchants of Xuzhou are really not afraid of the threat of Shimazu Iehisa.

Just as the Shimazu family had limited knowledge of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Xuzhou merchants also regarded the Shimazu family as the barbarian lords.

"Please calm down, General."

Taira Yoshimori was extremely flustered in his heart, and he couldn't help but panic, because if it wasn't handled well, the two civilizations would break out in a national war centered on Hirado Castle!

This is not the result that Ping Yisheng wants.

Perhaps the Xuzhou businessmen represented by Mi Zhu underestimated the strength of the Shimazu family, but the Shimazu family also underestimated the power behind Mi Zhu!

Mi Zhu and others dare to take the initiative to provoke the Shimazu family, they have the confidence!

An envoy of the Han Dynasty dared to point at the other party's king and scold, what is a big name.

"The proceeds of trade with Xuzhou, I share fifty-fifty with the Shimazu family."

In order to avoid a war between the two civilizations, Ping Yisheng took the initiative to give up some of his interests.

Shimazu Iehisa was angered by the arrogant attitude of Mizhu and others, and only after getting a promise from Taira Yoshimori did he push back the katana that had been drawn three inches.

"This group of barbarians dares to provoke us, and when the lord unifies the Central Plains, he will definitely instigate ...... No, it was proposed that the lord destroy the Shimazu family and force them to lower their tariffs. ”

Mi Zhu and the Xuzhou businessmen present whispered in private, as businessmen, still thinking about reducing tariffs and making more profits.
