Zhao Hengyi didn't care what kind of reaction the envoy of the imperial family would make, and even he didn't care if this talented envoy would directly report to the shogunate.

As the real ruler of the entire Wa Kingdom at the moment, the shogun of the shogunate could not be unaware that the emperor and the imperial family never gave up their desire to regain power.

It's just that the royal family, which is kept in captivity like a fat pig, is surrounded by the rotten public secretary class, and only the chamberlains and palace maids are available.

The dispatch of an envoy to Hirado Castle this time shows that the shogunate's control over the imperial family has reached a meticulous level.

None of the chamberlains sent by the royal family were able to leave Gyeonggi alive, which in itself is a testament to this.

And this Hinata-kun was able to come to Hirado Castle unharmed, if he only relied on his talent in sinology, I am afraid that only an honest person like Zhou Yonglin would believe it.

This so-called imperial envoy must have been pinned on by the emperor and the imperial family, but in fact, if such a person could come to Hirado Castle safely without the approval of the shogunate, Zhao Hengyi did not believe it.

It's just that in Zhao Hengyi's original plan, he didn't pay much attention to the life or death of the emperor or even the survival of the imperial family.

The relationship between the shogunate and the imperial family had been maintained for more than 100 years, and Cho Hyung-yi felt that even if he led the Qiongzhou regiment to fight Gyeonggi, it was unlikely that the shogunate would raise a butcher's knife against the emperor and the imperial family.

Even if the shogunate really killed the killer, it would not be a big deal for Zhao Hengyi.

If the emperor is killed, then just find another child with imperial blood to take the throne, and if the entire imperial family is slaughtered, then just find a random person and declare that he has imperial blood.

Even when the situation develops to the end and does not develop in the direction expected by Zhao Hengyi, then he can completely claim that the Wa State is arrogant as a tributary state, and the lord of a small country dares to call himself the emperor, which is disrespectful to His Majesty the Emperor of the suzerain, and it should be abandoned and a new monarch should be set up directly!

Of course, this method is the last resort, and a state that fights with each other but can maintain a delicate balance is in the best interest of Zhao Hengyi, and the premise is naturally that he must be in the seat of the arbiter.

Allowing the messengers to pass on the news, Zhao Hengyi and Qiongzhou Tuanlian quieted down.

Going directly to Beijing to fight the shogunate was far more complicated than fighting a coalition battle with the daimyo of Kyushu outside Hirado Castle.

The repeated demonstration of force has made the ammunition for the Qiongzhou regimental training slightly insufficient, and in the era of thermal weapons, the reliance on logistics and supply has gradually become prominent.

The temporary rest is actually waiting for the sea ships to transport ammunition from Sanya Bay, just enough time for the various forces of the Japanese State to allow Zhao Hengyi's statement to stir up the world to be fully fermented!

At this time, the Tang family already clearly felt an illusion that it was difficult to ride a tiger.

As one of the four great maritime merchants, the Tang family has a very deep understanding of the Wa Kingdom, and the Shogunate is the court of the Wa Kingdom for them, and the generals of the Shogunate are no different from the real emperor in the eyes of the Tang family, or in the eyes of all the maritime merchants of the Great Yan Kingdom!

Even, as the executors of the commodity trade, these maritime merchants had their own doors and connections in the shogunate, and they all had an extremely clear understanding of the means exercised by the shogunate and the power in their hands.

For them, Zhao Hengyi's war with the shogunate is tantamount to challenging the entire Wa Kingdom with Qiongzhou regimental training!

Even if the combat effectiveness of Qiongzhou's regimental training is highly admired, but challenging the entire country with one side of the regimental training is no less than a fantasy in the eyes of most maritime merchants!

As the largest partner of Sanya Bay and Qiongzhou Tuanlian, the Tang family suddenly showed great embarrassment, to put it bluntly, the Tang family, one of the four major maritime merchants in the southeast, must make a choice, whether to stand up to Zhao Hengyi all the way to the black, or to rein in the precipice and rejoin the arms of the shogunate?

Zhao Hengyi's act of declaring war on the shogunate has already pushed the Tang family to the forefront, don't think that the relationship between the Tang family and Zhao Hengyi can't be found out by the shogunate, and the hidden shogunate doesn't need to take the initiative to inquire, naturally there will be maritime merchants who will send information to the shogunate.

As one of the four major maritime merchants, the Tang family's share of the trade of the Japanese Kingdom is a huge piece of fat, as long as the Tang family is driven away from the Japanese Kingdom, other maritime merchants will definitely be able to eat with a mouthful of oil!

Zhao Hengyi knew this, and had already asked Tang Ping to inform the Tang family's caravans in the Wa Kingdom in advance to temporarily evacuate, and promised that the losses they suffered when they evacuated would be rewarded tenfold and hundredfold in the future!

As the Tang family in the Wa Kingdom, they had no choice but to stand firmly on Zhao Hengyi's side at this time.

But the Tang family is not monolithic, and there is naturally controversy about whether to continue to cooperate with Zhao Hengyi and go all the way to the black.

At the critical moment, the old lady of the Tang family, who is considered by most people to be a candle in the wind, made a decision and fully supported the Marquis of Qiongzhou!

For this old lady of the Tang family, this is no less than a big gamble, and if the bet is won, the Tang family will have a dominant position on this route to and from the Wa Kingdom in the future.

If the bet is lost, the Tang family may lose the trade share of the entire Wa Kingdom, and if they want to recover again, it is impossible to recover without ten or twenty years without paying a great price!

In the eyes of countless children of the Tang family, the old lady's decision is tantamount to being confused!

But the old lady didn't return to the west for a day, and the entire Tang family was still in his hands!

It seems that the decision that can affect the future rise and fall of the Tang family is actually not much for the entire Tang family to pay.

It's nothing more than sending more cargo ships to help Zhao Hengyi transport ammunition, it's nothing more than the shops in the Japanese Kingdom being temporarily taken away, once Zhao Hengyi can really succeed, it is a little bit of price compared to the rich return, it is not worth mentioning at all!

At the same time, there are also the Japanese merchants in Hirado Town, among these merchants there are naturally those powerful big trading houses, their business and industry throughout the Japanese country, according to the consistent nature of these merchant groups, it must be a two-headed bet, Zhao Hengyi is noncommittal.

And those small merchants who are not wealthy, whether they are willing or carried, are the most determined people in this gamble, and they will also become important figures in the management committee of Hirado Port!

Once Zhao Hengyi achieves the final victory, these small merchants will ascend to heaven!

And once Zhao Hengyi fails, these people will also be bankrupt and their lives will be difficult to protect.

The sea boat, which had been floating on the sea outside Hirado Port for seven days, finally came up with an exact statement.

General Yasukai ordered that the merchants where these sea ships were located did not know right and wrong before the Battle of Hirado Castle, and their escape at the critical moment shook people's hearts and deserved to be punished!

At the same time, the Qiongzhou regiment reserves the right to board the ship at any time to inspect whether the people on these ships have the power to collude with the Japanese invaders!

From now on, the chamber of commerce to which these ships belong will need to pay very strict taxes and silver no matter what goods are imported or exported in the country!

Those who dare to disobey will end up with the sunken sea ship of the Li family caravan!
