The two sides signed a agreement - the trade agreement must be completed, and hostages were sent to be effective. The two sides agreed to send ships to Jeju in a month. The merchant ships captured by the horses, which were captured before they could be returned after the agreement took effect. In order to show sincerity, Jeju released all the captured personnel this time, each of which gave a set of clothes, a pair of Australian straw sandals and two bottles of rum. Guan Zuo also gave a glass lantern made in Linggao. The delegation members also had gifts, and also brought Zong Yicheng a set of bone porcelain and a Linggao revolver.

This revolver is a special edition - like the Nanyang rifle, it is a smoothbore fire cap gun. In terms of power and range, it is really average, but the fire cap gives it an unprecedented fast shooting effect. This is a big enough selling point.

"Chief, are we going to expel swords to the Duke's vassal?"

"Not necessarily." Ping Qiusheng was vague. Japan is currently in a state of "quietness in the world", and there is no big market for things like swords.

According to the idea of ​​some veterans, including Ping Qiusheng and Skeide, it was to make a big fuss in the chaos after the 1633 lockdown order.

Like the Tokugawa Shogunate regime, the Tokugawa Shogunate had a deep sense of distrust of foreign Catholicism. For the Tokugawa Shogunate, the Kitchi Dan Daming was almost all of the Western Army camps of the past. The Shogunate had always been worried that the Catholic faith would be used by the Foreign Daming to launch the anti-shogunate Ikki, and then colluded with the Southern Barbarians who were keen on the Shinkai.

The double distrust of politics and religion caused the shogunate persecution of the Kitachi Danism. Kitakyushu was the main settlement of the Kitachi Danists, and was closely monitored by the Shogunate. In 1628, the old shogunate, Toi Tadao, Sakai Tadao, "inspection" of Himekikishimahara County, and Kochi used stolen to burn 570 Kitachi Danists to death at one time.

In 1630, the shogunate issued a "ban on religion": the Kichitanists were ordered to give up their faith within two months, otherwise they would be executed. With the efforts of Techitan Daming such as Hirotaka Terazawa, Tadashinobu Matsuura, and Soyoshi Sei, the "ban on religion" was finally stopped. However, in 1633, the third-generation general Tokugawa Iemitsu once again issued the "ban on religion" and ordered the main defenders of the Kichitanist Church, Hirotaka Hirotaka Hirotaka Hirotaka Hirotaka Hirotaka, Hirotaka Hirotaka, who was subsequently changed. The 66,000 Shishi Daimura Matsukura Katsuya, the 66,000 Shi Daimura Katsuya Matsukura Katsuya, entered the throne and began the cruel persecution of the Kichitanist Church. From 1633 to 1638, there were as many as 10,000 Kichitanists who were burned to death by the Matsukura Katsuya between 1633 and 1638. The contradictions became extremely intensified.

Although the Amakura riot was 1638, in fact, there was a chance to incite the Kerami Ikki between 1633 and 1638. The exoteric daimyo of the southwestern vassals: Satsuma, Chuanshu and other vassals have always been hostile to the shogunate. Once the shogunate could not suppress Amakura Toshishiro in time, then the exoteric daimyo, who was originally cruelly suppressed and dissatisfied in the shogunate, especially the Western Daimyo who participated in the Battle of Sekihara, would probably rise again. Because the harsh "arbitrary politics" of the "Aoi San Dynasties" period was changed, the number of these roninists who arrived in Ie-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-Kei-

These ronin people have no income and are burdened by their own samurai status. They have resentment in their hearts. Once the war is rekindled and they will not give up.

As the war broke out, daimyo and shogunate all over the country would need a lot of arms. In this way, the policy of expanding foreign trade that was originally effective during the Warring States Period would be taken seriously, and the policy of locking up the country would inevitably be left unresolved. Various policies to restrict the outflow of gold, silver and copper would also be relaxed due to the demand for arms - this was quite troubled to Hirakimori, because the outflow of precious metals was severe, and the shogunate had restricted the outflow of silver and copper since 1616.

However, this wonderful plan involves specific strategies for Japan - this was finally decided by the Executive Committee and the Senate. Therefore, Ping Qiusheng could only do some simple preparations and could not invest too much resources.

He said to Zichuan: "There are some other things you need to prepare, and the organization is ready to send you back to Japan."

"Please give instructions from the Chief!"

"This time you have to make friends with the retainers of the Zong clan. If you get permission from the Zong clan, you will go with the boat next time you come."

"yes!"

"After you arrange your business with Tsuma, you take their boat back to Nagasaki to do a few things: First, this time, Jeju Island, including in Taiwan, more than a dozen security troops were killed and died, and two people were injured and wanted to go home. You have to send them and the ashes back. And bring the empire's pension and medals to their families."

"Yes, thanks to the Senate for its great kindness."

"Secondly, you have to inquire about a person. This person is your fellow church member, named Amakura Shiro Toshisaki. He may also be named Mada Shiro or Oyano Shiro, Ebe Shiro. His biological father was a retainer of Governor Konishi, named Yoshiki Hitoshi. Later he was adopted by Amakura Shiro. This person is probably eleven years old now and may live in Nagasaki. He may have learned medical skills from the Dutch... This is his information, and you must remember it in detail. Now Tokugawa has issued a ban on the church. You must pay attention to concealing your identity."

"Yes!" Zichuan didn't know why Mr. Ping suddenly became interested in an eleven-year-old ronin, but the order was the order.

"You just need to find him, and there is no need to contact him. Although Zong's family has changed their sects, they also secretly sympathize with Catholics. You can find reliable believers who secretly believe in Chezhidan and Amasa to establish letters. It will be useful in the future."

"Yes." Zichuan suddenly felt his eyes sore. It was indeed God who had a great entrusted him with a dream.

"The villain will never refuse."

"The last thing is to see if you can recruit enough ronin." Ping Qiusheng said, "The security army decided to add another six Japanese company. You can go and see if there are any suitable ronin--the age cannot be too old. It is best to be under thirty."

"Yes!" The last task was the simplest. Zichuan thought that he knew the ronin who had no food to eat was less than fifty or one hundred. Then he went to find people through them, and it would be no problem to recruit one or two thousand people.

The shogunate strictly prohibits Japanese from going abroad, and Japanese who have already gone abroad are not allowed to return to their country, otherwise they will be executed. Therefore, this matter must be carried out under a secret background.

"The 11th District cannot resist something shocking..." Seeing the Tsuma Messenger's ship gone, Shikigawa Hideji heard a melancholy and said something that he could not understand at all... Maybe his Chinese is not good enough.

But Mr. Ping cannot stay in Jeju Island. There are enough veterans on Jeju Island. He came here to carry out trade with Japan in a two-pronged way. Now the tube of the horse has been inserted, and the other one must be inserted as soon as possible.

"Carry your luggage, we have to set off, too." Ping Qiusheng said to his life secretary, Ayako.

Ping Qiusheng stood on the deck and looked into the distance. Fukue Island was already in sight. This was a Chinese-style sailboat. The ship was captured by the Navy from a long time nearby, and there were less than 50 people on the ship. The unlucky sailboat was detained by the Navy in the Tsushima Strait more than a month ago - the ship was originally planned to go to Busan.

At that time, the navy was tasked with capturing ships from the Fuzhong vassal state, but the fire chief and the news of the ship knew that they were not from the Tsuma Zong family, but from the Zhou family of Wudao.

Because he arrested a maritime businessman who seemed to be a Chinese, Jeju Island did not dare to make a decision without authorization, so he immediately asked for a power outage.

A telegram was sent to Lingao. Ping Qiusheng immediately generated a power: "All people, ships, and cargo were detained."

All the elders who were familiar with this Sino-Japanese trade history knew this person. In the fifteenth year of Keicho, that is, the 38th year of Wanli (1611), Zhou Xingru, a native of the Jiangning Prefecture who set out from Fujian to Japan for trade, received a personal red seal letter from Tokugawa Ieyasu to him in Junfu, from various ports in Japan to Nagasaki. This red seal letter letter letter was sent by the shogunate to Japanese maritime merchants, and Zhou Xingru was able to obtain the degree of importance Ieyasu attached to him at that time.

The territory of Zhou's family in Japan is the Japanese Five Islands Islands. The so-called Five Islands Islands are archipelagos that are northeast-southwest on the west coast of Kyushu Island. They are under the jurisdiction of Nagasaki Prefecture in modern time and space. They include 5 islands such as Fukue, Kuga, Naruo, Wakamatsu and Zhongtong, as well as more than 140 nearby islands. This place is very close to Nagasaki, Japan's main external port at that time, and there are many natural ports and anchorages. It is an important place for maritime merchants who trade with Japan to rest. At that time, the Five Islands Islands, as the main stronghold of the Chinese in Japan, had considerable influence.

This time, the Zhou Group ship transported swords to North Korea for ginseng. Because the cargo was not too long and it was not far away, it only sent a sailboat of about 100 tons and a few small boats searched for ships. Unexpectedly, the cargo ship was unlucky to meet the Australian speedboat as soon as it arrived on the ocean of Jeju Island, and was captured without any suspense. Although they were constantly interrogated after being captured, they did not know what this group of strange figures wanted to do. Until the Australians told them to go to Japan with the ship, they still couldn't figure out what the group of people thought.
