Wan Shihe's evaluation of the Wa State can be described as three points, Wan Shihe said that the Wa State is stealing Chinese culture, but the three points of human nature have not been learned, and the seven points of animal nature are deeply rooted, as the governor of the Nagasaki Governor's Office, Xu Wei is very recognized by this evaluation.

The minting of the money of the Wa Kingdom focuses on a three-point statue, and the Wa people are also embarrassed to engrave the word Yongle, which really makes Xu Wei helpless, and it is simply smashed into the signboard of Emperor Zuwen.

The stolen Yongle Tongbao thrown out by Xu Wei has a proper noun in the Japanese country, called "bad money", and the Tongbao minted by the Ming Dynasty is called "cross-money money".

During the reign of Xuanzong Tianbao of the Tang Dynasty, the monk Jianzhen crossed the Wa Kingdom six times, and the Wa State imitated the Kaiyuan Tongbao of the Tang Dynasty and began to make money, called Hetong Kaiju, and since then the currency of the Wa State has been in the contradiction between the local "bad money" and the Central Plains "crossing money".

The treasure money that Xu Wei took out can also be regarded as a kind of money.

"Can it be exchanged for Wanli Tongbao or silver coins?" Oda Nobunaga finally opened the box, looked at the beautifully made treasure money in the box, and asked with a solemn face.

Xu Wei nodded and said, "If you need it, you can exchange it, and you can cash out the new banknotes in three years." ”

Xu Wei is a liar, Daming overseas treasure banknotes are non-cashable treasure notes, which is a fact that has been clearly confirmed from the beginning of production.

It is not a deception to deceive the Japanese.

If you want to tell Xu Wei, Sun Keyi, and Li Chengli to forgive the Japanese people, you will only get their big fight, they have a deep blood feud with the Japanese people, and it is the hatred of their family members who died from the Japanese people, and in their eyes, the Japanese people have never been human beings.

Oda Nobunaga's question, of course Xu Wei can't say that it can't be exchanged, of course the promise is a fart, just listen to it.

As for issues such as dishonesty, Xu Wei didn't think about it at all, he and Sun Keyi were thinking about how to knock off the bells of the men of the Japanese Kingdom and sell them to the Yuanxu Islands as cattle and horses, and sell the women of the Japanese Kingdom to Songjiang Mansion.

Not every woman in the Japanese country can go to the painting boat, it needs to be carefully selected, and the vast majority of them are bachelors who have learned Chinese and married a bachelor who can't afford to marry a wife.

Treasure banknote, is a kind of credibility banknote, the promise promise, the big deal to trade in the old for the new, one to ten for money, the new banknote for the treasure is, this is such as the exchange.

How to usurp the wealth of the Wakoku to the greatest extent possible was the primary consideration of the Nagasaki Governor's Office.

"Then I don't have any doubts." Oda Nobunaga actually knew that this kind of promise was not credible at all, but at least he could deceive himself and the Japanese people, and that would be enough.

Oda Nobunaga, Owari Big Fool, and the Great Demon King of the Wa Kingdom, is not a person who worries about the country and the people at all, he has nothing in his eyes and no one in his eyes.

Before he saw the strength of the Daming sailor, Oda Nobunaga didn't even pay attention to the Daming, in his opinion, it was just the Ryuzoji Temple, the Otomo clan, and the Shimazu family who were too stupid to give the Daming a chance.

Oda Nobunaga obtained the details of the Ming Dynasty's trade, and he also needed to exchange silver for what he needed.

Nagasaki International Maritime Trade Fair, officially held on the ninth day of the ninth month of September, this day is the Double Ninth Festival of the Ming Dynasty, every daimyo who entered, soon lost in the sea of goods, the whole sea trade fair, very orderly, this kind of order, in the country is extremely rare.

Because the three five-masted ships brought by Chen Lan were quietly moored in the port of Nagasaki, and the muzzle of the black hole pointed to the townhouse of the International Maritime Trade Fair, reminding everyone that this is the territory of the Ming Dynasty and must abide by the rules of the Ming Dynasty.

No one dares to make a mistake in front of the Great Ming Water Master.

Since the Tang Dynasty, there is a city ship, and then the Song and Yuan dynasties of sea trade reached its peak, before the Ming Dynasty, the sea trade is mainly based on luxury goods, silk, porcelain, tea and metal utensils, in the late Southern Song Dynasty, the cotton cloth of Songjiang Mansion has been sold well at home and abroad, Hu Yuan went south, the production of Songjiang Mansion was destroyed, until the Yongle period flourished again.

Wanli opened the sea, the share of luxury goods has been reduced year after year, bulk commodities and trade have become the mainstream, but there is no food, the triangle of Songjiang City, Ryukyu City and Nagasaki City, locked the list of goods entering the country, and grain is the only commodity that is prohibited from entering the country.

There are hundreds of products participating in the Nagasaki International Maritime Trade Fair alone, and Matsue cotton cloth is the largest product.

There is no Songjiang cotton in Songjiang cotton cloth, because Songjiang local cotton is more expensive, and the profit of going to sea is smaller, so it is more sold in the hinterland of Daming.

From pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar to cars and waterwheels, everything is available.

Daming provides door-to-door delivery services, of course, the freight is not cheap, door-to-door delivery is mainly to listen to intelligence, Daming uses Shangjia as a spy for this matter, which is also an open secret in the Wa Kingdom, but the various daimyos, there are not enough ships in their hands to transport goods, so they can only let it go.

The daimyo were dazzled by the dazzling array of goods, and they exchanged the silver that the poor coolies had painstakingly mined in the cols for silk, tea, and all kinds of utensils that could show their status, such as a set of solid wood tea sets, which cost as much as a thousand taels of silver, such as a very fine chariot with spring steel shock absorption, and a very limited number of horses, which were worth seven thousand taels of silver.

The next day, the daimyo were led to a school yard flanked by long and short soldiers, bows and arrows, clusters of arrows, and firearms.

The Wa kingdom lacked weapons, and Oda Nobunaga's iron cannon (an arquebus) was enough to stand out from the crowd, and this time the Nagasaki Governor's Office gave them a chance to play fair, and everyone could exchange silver for weapons to deal with each other's crusades.

Oda Nobunaga and everyone looked at these weapons blankly, before the Ming Dynasty only sold firearms, this trade fair, there were even artillery, this is something that all the daimyo did not expect!

Could it be that Chen Lan, the chief soldier of the Navy, is secretly selling arms for personal gain?

Of course, this is a misunderstanding, and each of these firearms is a serious monkey version of the munitions, which are specially produced by the Ministry of War and the Ordnance Supervision Department for maritime trade.

"Damn! We are short of saltpeter, and all saltpeter depends on China for supply, even if we are supplied with firearms, what is the difference between them and burning sticks in our hands! Oda Nobunaga clenched his fists.

He has completely seen through Da Ming's tricks!

What's the use of light for firearms, does Daming have the guts to supply saltpeter!

At present, only Daming and Spain can manufacture qualified gunpowder in large quantities and on a large scale, and controlling saltpeter means controlling the manufacture of gunpowder, Spain controls the largest saltpeter mine in Peru, and Daming is local saltpeter plus smuggling and trafficking in Bangladeshi saltsand.

What if you see through it? Oda Nobunaga looked desperately at several daimyo around him, Mori Terumoto, Nagamune Ibu Motokin, Uesugi Keikatsu, Hojo Clan, looking at the firearms and even the eyes were not enough, Mori Terumoto was the only daimyo who could buy the Daming Bird Gun before, and he was not qualified to buy Daming's artillery before.

Chen Lan, who was a tiger with a bear's waist, finally came to everyone, his eyes were slightly squinted and his head was half raised, and he glanced around, the Japanese people were generally short, and Chen Luan's seven-foot height was like Mount Tai pressing on the top, which made everyone breathless.

At this moment, Chen Lan wanted to kill all the daimyo here, and then began to march and wipe out the entire Wa Kingdom, Qi Shuai was already a sure thing, Yu Dayou had died of illness, Chen Luan, as the chief soldier of the water division, was only an earl, and he was a little unreasonable.

But after the destruction of the Wa Kingdom, the sins and infamy of mining and catching slaves need to be borne by the Ming Dynasty, and the well-trained sailors of the Ming Dynasty are only more than 90,000 people, and the nine million people of the Wa Kingdom are all killed, and an average of 100 people will be killed by one person, and no matter how firm the willpower is, it will become a madman.

However, it is a good way to use various means to let the Japanese kill themselves.

Not all daimyo had silver mountains under their rule, and no silver mountains could be exchanged for men or women.

"All the weapons you see can be purchased openly." Xu Wei said to everyone: "This is the head of the Daming Naval Division, Libo Chen Luan, looking at the sea from here, although the townhouse is slightly blocked, you can still see the figure of the five-masted ship crossing the ocean. ”

"This chief soldier is not very good-tempered, and the Shimazu clan plotted against Shuri Prefecture in the Ryukyus, but was flattened by General Chen."

Otomo still has a few alive, and Shimazu was sent to Beijing by Chen Luan, and finally entered the hospital, making his own contribution to the progress of Daming medicine.

"Where's gunpowder?" Oda Nobunaga looked around and didn't see any key items.

Xu Wei said with a smile: "The number of pounds of gunpowder in each household is different, if you want to buy gunpowder, you can negotiate it separately." ”

The number of quotas depends on strength, population, strong men, mineral deposits, and the intensity of the battle all determine the amount of gunpowder that can be obtained. The Ming chose to arm the Japanese and accelerate their cannibalism, but they would not supply more gunpowder.

Unless the Wa Kingdom can break the maritime trade blockade of the three cities of Matsue, Ryukyu and Nagasaki, and obtain a large amount of saltpeter.

It can be seen that there is an obvious difference in policy, even if it is Altan Khan, there are still three ladies who can communicate with the Ming Dynasty, but there is no warmth at all about the Japanese policy.

During the Jiajing period, the contradictions were extremely complicated, and the struggle lasted for more than 20 years before the best solution was found, and all the Japanese in the Japanese were killed.

"Your Sun family, I didn't expect to do the painting boat business to the Wa Kingdom." Chen Lan saw Sun Keyi, looked at the painting boat moored in Nagasaki Port, and said with a complicated expression.

The advocating excellence on the painting boat is all the beauties of all countries, this is to avoid risks, the Ming court has a ban, prohibiting the sale of the Ming Dingkou, the violators are punished, the painting boat is on the sea, the sea is equal to absolute freedom, equal to no taboos, Sun in order to avoid risks, choose the beauty of all countries, so that there is no law problem.

Under the framework of the distinction of Huayi in the Ming Dynasty, Fanyi is the status of animals and livestock, so in essence, the painting boat business is a zoo, and the elegant name of the painting boat in the folk is called: Leopard House, which is mainly the play of the painting boat, which is extremely wild.

The prostitutes in this are all red-haired fans, golden-haired fans, Persian beauties, Japanese wandering girls, and Goryeo Ji.

For the Wa country, it is completely exported to domestic sales, the wandering girl of the Wa country ran to Daming and plated a layer of gold, from the cheap wandering girl, all of a sudden it was inlaid with gold edge, and the tickets on the ship were one hundred taels of silver, and the consumption on the ship was only higher.

There is only one reaction from the daimyo of Wakoku, and that is consumption!

This kind of flower work is too rare in the Wa Kingdom.

"This business is naturally pervasive, and in the painting boat business, our Sun family draws points according to the law, and has never defaulted on paying taxes once." Sun Keyi said with a smile, the painting boat business not only pays taxes, but also donates money for the preparation of the Daming Maritime Academy, as for the suffering of the animals in the zoo, Sun Keyi has no mercy.

The Central Plains began to canonize the king of the Wa Kingdom from the Han Dynasty, until the Yongle period, but also canonized, this is the education, hoping to educate the Wa people from beasts to humans, the internal logic of the Rouyuan people, is the omnipotence of morality.

And the plague that lasted for more than 20 years proved that morality is not omnipotent, and in Huayi's discrimination, the wind power public opinion of the Rouyuan people gradually disappeared, and the barbarian wolf faced the beast's heart, fearing power and not virtue gradually occupied the mainstream.

At the arms trade fair, it is interesting to note that the volume of transactions is not public.

Any daimyo who wanted to buy firearms and gunpowder had to communicate with the officials of the city, which led to a terrible result, that is, no one knew how many firearms the other party had purchased.

The Ming Dynasty sold arms, let the Japanese kill their own people, and weakened the strength of the Japanese state, which the daimyo knew well.

The best way to resist the sale of Ming treasure banknotes and arms is for all the daimyos, with Oda Nobunaga as the core, to unite as one and reject the Ming Dynasty!

Daming wants to sell firearms, and the daimyo have a tacit understanding, and no one is enough to buy them! The Ming Dynasty wants to promote treasure money, and the daimyo don't use real money to exchange for treasure money!

In this way, the Ming Dynasty did not have a very good way to take the Wa Kingdom, after all, there were still 9 million Dingkou in the Wa Kingdom across the ocean.

But this deal is not public, and everyone is completely in danger, who knows how many firearms and gunpowder the neighbor has bought, and when he is going to crusade against himself? Even Oda Nobunaga had to buy a large number of firearms to prevent the third encirclement of Nobunaga.

Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will inevitably take root, blossom and bear fruit.

No matter how Oda Nobunaga lobbied these daimyos and what agreements he reached, they all came to naught under the real military threat.

My neighbors hoard grain, I hoard guns, and my neighbors are my granaries!

Xu Wei's main focus in the Japanese Kingdom is one thing, that is, to pick inside and outside, take advantage of the opportunity to make profits, silver, sulfur, wandering girls, and Japanese slaves, all of which are interests.

The arms trade ended in an atmosphere of mutual jealousy, and the daimyo who left the Nagasaki Governor's Palace had to accept the treasure money and arms forcibly promoted by the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty harvested 1.4 million taels of silver, 4,300 wandering girls, more than 5,000 Japanese slaves, and issued about 120,000 treasure notes at this trade fair.

After the end of the trade, Chen Lan wanted to go to the Whale Sea, which was the open sea of the Daming Nuer Gandusi, and the place where Chen Lan was going was called Muyang Hewei (now Vladivostok), and in the upper reaches of Muyang Hewei were Shuangchengwei and Jianzhouwei.

Jianzhou Wei here is the hometown of the Jianzhou Jurchens, in the first year of Yongle, the leader of the Jianzhou Jurchens, Aha out of tribute, was given the name Li Chengshan, and was commanded by the feudal state, in Yongle 21 years, with the permission of Zhu Di, Jianzhou Wei moved inward, and migrated to Fushun's pass.

Before the Yuan Dynasty, this place belonged to the Huanglong Mansion, that is, Yue Fei wanted to smash the Huanglong Mansion in his heart, and in the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan established the Whale Sea Thousand Households on the bank of the Muyang River in Liaoyang Province, fished and refined fish oil in the Whale Sea to pay tribute, and later set up the Shuangcheng Governor in Shuangcheng to govern this place.

The reason why Chen Lan wants to go to Muyang Hewei is to investigate the hydrology, explore the ocean fog, and then restore the waterway, which has extremely rich fishery resources, recorded in the old case, it is a natural port, and even from Jilin Shipyard can go to sea directly from here, because of the influence of ocean currents, Muyang Hewei is an ice-free port in the north, and every ice-free port in the north has a decisive significance to the Ming Dynasty.

If the Bohai Bay does not freeze, then Tianjin Wei is the most prosperous port in the north, but the Bohai Bay will freeze, so the northern city is set up in Mizhou, because Mizhou is a hundred miles away from the ice-free port Jiaozhou Bay.

Chen Lan's voyage was expected to be tens of thousands of miles, and it was expected to take three months to complete this exploration voyage and become a new route for the Songjiang Navy to circumvent the Japanese Navy, and the purpose of the armed parade was to deter the Japanese Invaders, and it was also a drill.

(Explore the Fog of the Sea)

When the time is ripe, if the Ming Dynasty has the idea of eternal Qing and woke, the navigation and observation of the hydrology is the first opportunity.

Under the exploration of the Whale Sea in the coastal defense patrol and the exploration of the stargazing ship, Daming has a very detailed understanding of it, how foggy it is, but the water surface is calm, and the average wave height is only two feet, which is very suitable for fishing.

Three five-masted ships, two stargazing ships, twenty-three three-masted ships, and fifty four-hundred-material warships of the Ming Dynasty began to set off from the port of Nagasaki and sailed towards Tsushima Island.

Standing in the Nagasaki Port Tide Tower watching the fleet leave, Oda Nobunaga sincerely had a sense of powerlessness, this terrible fleet is only a sea mobile fleet of the Ming Dynasty, the main force of the Ming Naval Division, is still entrenched in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, but it is such a mobile fleet, so that Oda Nobunaga can not rise to resist the idea at all.

Oda Nobunaga has always had an ambition, or the Wa Kingdom has always had an ambition, to attack the continent, get rid of the problem of many people and narrow land, since the Yuan Dynasty, the Wa people have gone to sea more, and the woes have been plagued again and again, it is for this fundamental ambition.

Before coming to Nagasaki and meeting the Ming fleet, Oda Nobunaga imagined countless possibilities, such as the Ming ship was large and not flexible enough, so use enough small boats to constantly harass them, or simply set the small boats on fire and burn the big ships; For example, after the loss of sea control, the Ming ships will inevitably land, no matter how strong the sailors are, the conquest will eventually be solved by the army, then the Japanese country that occupies the geographical advantage and the people will not have the power to fight; For example, pinning hopes on the kamikaze to protect the country.

Kublai Khan had twice conquered the Japanese kingdom, but both failed because of the appearance of storms.

But now Oda Nobunaga has only one kind of despair that pervades his heart, and this despair comes not only from the powerful firepower of the Daming Naval Division, but also from the greedy daimyo who are intoxicated with infighting.

The appearance of the Nagasaki Governor's Mansion disintegrated the majesty of Oda Nobunaga's people.

Why hasn't the Ming Dynasty yet fully attacked the Wa Kingdom? Oda Nobunaga knew very well that the Ming Emperor of the distant Beijing Division was accumulating strength, and the water division was more expensive than the Beijing camp, and the water division had just expanded from 30,000 to 90,000 people, and when the strength was enough, the Ming Emperor would inevitably launch a war to exterminate the Japanese.

The Ming Emperor was too resentful, Altan Khan was already old to that point, the emperor didn't talk about any martial virtues, and arrested Altan Khan to the capital and beheaded him to show the public.

"It's a shame." Oda Nobunaga looked at the daimyo who was robbing the Ming Dynasty goods and arms, shook off his big red cloak vigorously, and chose to leave Nagasaki.

In the same way, he also bought a large number of firearms, as well as a small amount of gunpowder, which he had to buy because he also had to face the crusade of others.

Firearms are well maintained and can be used from the Yongle period to the present, but the shelf life of gunpowder, if it is properly preserved, is at most three years, and if it is not stored properly, it will be damp and cannot be fired in a few months.

Drying gunpowder is definitely not a good idea.

Gunpowder is a consumable and extremely expensive.

Oda Nobunaga raised a group of missionaries in Kyoto, just to communicate with the missionaries, to obtain saltpeter from places other than the Ming Dynasty, originally this road was completely unimpeded, saltpeter from Mughal and Bengal, although expensive, but enough for Oda Nobunaga to use.

The damned war in the Strait of Malacca ruined all this, because of the war, the ships of the red haired fan could not enter the South Seas smoothly, let alone reach the Wa Kingdom, all the maritime trade of the Wa Kingdom was controlled by the Nagasaki Governor's Office and the Ryukyus, and the Ming Dynasty would never allow saltpeter to enter the Wa Kingdom.

It means that it is human nature to live in their homeland and not want to move to other places easily, which is naturally true.

The Ming Dynasty attacked in the Hetao and discovered the phenomenon of geese walking, and the people went to the Hetao when the ice had not melted, and waited until winter, burning straw and returning to the Guannei; In Luzon, in the Ryukyus, in the chicken coop, in Borneo, and in the old port, it was found that the Ming people who set sail after worshiping Mazu were migrated; Even in Mexico during the Wanli period, in Cité Soleil, there was a Chinatown.

Before Yin Zhengmao did not take Haikorin Afeng and them to attack Luzon, every year in June and July, the galleon loaded with goods from the Ming Dynasty would set sail, at this time, everyone would go to the Manila Cathedral to pray, hoping that the trip would be smooth, and under normal circumstances, it would be 1-3 months to reach the port of Acapulco in Mexico.

Captain Antonio's evaluation of this voyage is: [This is the longest, most terrible and most lucrative voyage in the world at the moment, after starting from Manila, all the way north, passing through the Ryukyus, and beginning to drift with the waves, these three months are always going against the wind, completely relying on ocean currents, storms, fog, monstrous waves, always appear one after another, the sea is sometimes cold and sometimes hot, people are easy to get sick. Coupled with the lack of food, even those who are beaten with iron will be crushed. ]

The Pacific Ocean is not flat, but it only feels too peaceful when Magellan passes through the equatorial windless zone.

In March of the eighth year of Wanli, the Ming exploration fleet arrived at the port of Acapulco and then arrived at the City of the Sun, where Xu Jiugao saw the Han people of the City of the Sun, about two hundred people, tailors, shoemakers, butchers, embroiderers and clerks, etc., in the noisy and piercing shouts, trying to live, the gathering place was called Parián, which means a place of temporary rest.

Why did the people move? Even if you are nostalgic for your homeland, when you can't survive, you have to find a way out for your life.

The concentration of means of production or wealth is not a problem that can be solved by the productive forces of the Ming Dynasty at present, and Zhang Juzheng's various new policies can only alleviate the merger, not fundamentally solve the merger, so the only thing that the Ming court can do is to open up, open up, open up.

The issuance of overseas treasure banknotes of the Ming Dynasty has been completely set up in the rules and regulations, although the treasure banknotes have not yet become popular in the Wa country, but the daimyo of the Wa country have discovered the use of the treasure banknotes, that is, to peel downward.

With only seven coins of silver, you can exchange them for a treasure note of a consistent value at the Nagasaki Governor's Palace, and then you can use it to pay for military expenses or other necessary expenses.

The largest face value of treasure banknotes is consistent, and there are small banknotes of 500 to 100 Wen, the Wa State is very short of money, and the Yongle Tongbao stolen by the Wa State cannot meet the circulation needs at all, compared with the shells, rice, silk, cloth, oil, which are not good to measure the specific value of commodity currency, paper money is not so unacceptable.

This is very clear, treasure money is also one of the commodities peddled by the Ming Dynasty, and it is a sharp weapon for the daimyo to peel down, and it is a tool for the ruler.

It was only a matter of time before the treasure money circulated in the Wa Kingdom.

Because the daimyo will soon understand that the treasure money exchanged for seven coins of silver can be collected down the seigniorage, once this thing is stained, it is impossible to get rid of it, and because of its difficult to imitate characteristics, it is also conducive to promotion, in the country of Wa, it is difficult to get the ink, and it is also difficult to get the cotton spinning paper.

Xu Wei once wrote to the imperial court and asked His Majesty what kind of situation he wanted to achieve in the Wa Kingdom, and the reply he received was that His Majesty did not care.

I don't care what kind of human purgatory the Wa Kingdom will become under the various policies of the Ming Dynasty, and I don't care if there is a future for the Wa Kingdom, the Ming Emperor only cares that the process of the Ming Dynasty will not be interrupted, and he only cares about this group of damned Wakos, and they will no longer become pirates who threaten merchant ships.

A terrible and evil triangular trade chain was slowly forming, starting from Songjiang Prefecture, merchant ships loaded with Daming goods stopped in Nagasaki in exchange for a large amount of silver and Japanese slaves, and then went to the Yuanxu Islands, sold the Japanese slaves to the pioneering merchants, and then returned to the Ming Dynasty with the products of the Yuanxu Islands, and returned to the Ming Dynasty to return the silver, brass, rubber cubes, cotton, palm oil, spices, and so on from the plantations.

The development of the Yuanxu Islands requires a lot of manpower, whether it is logging, digging roots, clearing gravel, turning soil, dredging rivers, and building ports.

The Ming Emperor's indifference was a disaster for the Japanese people.
