After Li Erzhan left, Liang Zhiyuan walked out from behind the scenes.

Just now, he hid behind the curtain and listened for a long time.

When he came out, he asked with a shocked face, "Are you really going to the Wa Kingdom?" ”

"Exactly. I'm going to go to Tsushima Domain first, and then I'm going to take a boat to Osaka. ”

Yang Chengying elaborated on his route.

Liang Zhiyuan frowned and said: "Do you know that my Ming Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom have not restored diplomatic relations, and it is not in accordance with the rules for you to go like this." ”

"Now there is a shortage of money and food, and we have not even been given a reward for the first level of Gaizhou."

Yang Chengying asked a little angrily: "Excuse me, did you let my soldiers go into battle hungry and carry burning sticks?" ”

Liang Zhiyuan is also a native of Liaodong, so he naturally knows the facts that Yang Chengying said.

He didn't want to argue, so he asked, "If you go like this, what will I do with the Ming envoys?" ”

"Please wait for me to return from the Wa Kingdom, and then return to Liaodong together."

Yang Chengying said with a smile.

Liang Zhiyuan's face changed slightly: "Nonsense, national events are not allowed to be child's play." ”

"Then I can't do anything better. Anyway, if I can't get the money, I won't give up. ”

"You've been going for so long, aren't you afraid of something happening in Golden State?"

"If you want to do it, you can give it a try, I'm definitely not afraid."

With that, Yang Chengying got up and left.

Liang Zhiyuan saw that he had made up his mind, and he didn't want to say anything, so he just sighed.

When Yang Chengying told Ning Wan and Mao Yuanyi the news that he was going to go to the Wa Kingdom with a boatload of cloth, both of them were taken aback.

"General, you're not kidding, are you?" Ning Wan's eyes widened.

I always thought I was bold enough, but I didn't expect the general to be bold.

Yang Chengying turned his head to look at him: "Do you think I look like a joker?" It's not the first time you've known. ”

"This time it's different, this time it's to go to the Japanese country."

Ning Wan was afraid that Yang Chengying would say something about pretending to be an envoy to the court, so he hurriedly emphasized the topic.

"What's the difference? I'm going to make a big profit this time. Yang Chengying is very confident.

Mao Yuanyi said: "If we leave for too long, will it have a bad impact on Jinzhou?" What if the slave chieftains went south? ”

"The current situation of the Enu chieftain cannot digest the vast territory south of Liaoyang and Phoenix City. I must take advantage of this God-given opportunity to get more money. ”

Yang Chengying said this, and said in a low voice: "I also want to take a look at the iron cannon of the Japanese Kingdom, how powerful it is." ”

In the Battle of Chaoxian, one of the three major expeditions of Wanli, the soldiers of the Japanese State used iron cannons to cause certain damage to the soldiers of Chaoxian.

In the era of hot and cold innovation, hot weapons have made progress little by little.

Yang Chengying didn't see the iron cannon with his own eyes, and wanted to see what was going on with the iron cannon. If there is something to be desired, learn it without hesitation.

Hearing the iron cannon, Mao Yuanyi, a person who is very interested in weapons, immediately said: "In this way, this trip is very necessary. I heard that the lord of the Tsushima domain, Tsushima Yoshinari was a Christian, so maybe they had closer contacts with the West. ”

"That's a false rumor, and Zong Yizhi is a Christian. However, the Tokugawa shogun was very resistant to such daimyos, so Munohinari did not dare to believe in Western religions. ”

Yang Chengying said.

Mao Yuanyi's eyes lit up, but he didn't expect the general to know so much about the Wa Kingdom.

Seeing that Mao Yuanyi had no opinion, Yang Chengying insisted on going, and I had no opinion after Ning Wan.

With Li Erzhan's mediation and the acquiescence of Liang Zhiyuan, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Chengying and the others quickly boarded the big ship to Tsushima Island.

This fleet was carried under the banner of Chaoxian, and it was loaded with cloth brought by Yang Chengying from Liaodong, as well as some deerskins, dyes, spices, etc., purchased from Chaoxian at low prices.

Yang Chengying took Ning Wan and Mao Yuanyi on the boat.

A fat man in gorgeous silk clothes trotted up to meet him, and he waved at Yang Chengying from afar: "Master, my subordinates have been waiting for a long time." ”

He was a translator arranged by Li Erzhan, and the ship was also his.

The fresh ships of the dynasty and the Ming ships are not quite the same in appearance, so in order to avoid revealing the stuffing, they changed ships.

While discussing with Guanghaijun, Li Erzhan got a letter to the lord of Tsushima. On the other hand, he sent people to temporarily recruit ships to the Japanese kingdom.

Fat people are the unlucky ones who have been drafted.

In addition, he can speak Chinese, so it is logical for him to do translation work.

"We're going to the Wa Kingdom, and we have a shipowner."

Yang Chengying felt a little embarrassed, and added: "When I come back, I will give you a pass so that you can go to Daming for free." ”

Listening to Yang Chengying's words, the fat man was so happy that he almost jumped up, hunched his back and led the way:

"Master, the cabins have already been prepared, and they are the best places on the ship."

"Thank you."

The fat man didn't dare to lie, he did give up the best cabin on the ship.

Yang Chengying, Mao Yuanyi, and Ning Wan were assigned to a single room, and the other guards dressed as ordinary attendants were one room for every four people.

Everything was ready, and with the fat man's voice "Lift the anchor, start the boat!" ”

The big ship slowly left the harbor and headed for the unknown seas.

At this time, Yang Chengying's identity was a big businessman, He Renjie.

With a curiosity about the unknown, he went to the deck to admire the sea.

"Sir, why don't you rest in the cabin? Drift to the deck to blow a cool breeze. ”

Behind me came the voice of Ning Wan.

It's February, and the temperature hasn't picked up yet. The sea breeze blew on the face, and it was cold.

Yang Chengying turned around and asked, "If you have a shipload of goods, how can you sell them for ten times the price?" ”

"Find the right person, of course!" I replied.

"I want to hear about it."

"For example, if the buyer does not want the goods, but actually talks to the seller about something else, the price will not be low. For example, we can use their psychology to grab huge amounts of wealth. ”

"I've thought about it, too, but it doesn't reveal who I really am. If I am held accountable in the future, then I am not unlucky. ”

"It's up to the general, I think...... With the soldiers and horses in hand, even if they are revealed, there will be no problem. ”

Yang Chengying groaned, thinking about the feasibility of this plan.

"You can't get carried away just because you have soldiers and horses in hand, don't forget that many gentry and people still have Ming in their hearts."

Mao Yuanyi suddenly appeared: "If you think you can have nothing to fear, then you will suffer a catastrophe." ”

There is some truth in his words.

Yang Chengying pondered for a moment and said, "We can only take a risk, we want to sell these goods to the feudal lord, it will definitely be much more profitable than selling them to the people." For the sake of the people and sergeants of Liaodong, this risk is very worth taking. ”

Ning Wan I originally agreed and nodded in agreement.

Mao Yuanyi said: "In case the imperial court knows about this, how should it be handled?" ”

Yang Chengying actually smiled and said nothing.

Mao Yuanyi looked surprised.

Ning Wan said with a smile: "Although there is no official exchange between the Ming Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom, there are endless exchanges of trade ships in private, do you know the deep meaning." ”

"Someone turns a blind eye?" Mao Yuanyi also learned to be obedient.

"That's right!" Yang Chengying said, "And the southeast coast is the most rampant, all because of profit-driven." Even if the court blames me, it can't just take me. ”

"What if they cut you?"

"I control Port Arthur, and the nobles of the court will not let me be so miserable."

Mao Yuanyi smiled bitterly and said no more.
