Section 424: Five Islands Archipelago
No Chinese on the ship took his so-called descendants of General Ping seriously - the Chinese were not familiar with Japan's history and were familiar with this trick of clinging to wealthy ancestors since childhood, so let's just listen to it. In contrast, Japanese sailors who were very interested in family names and family blood inheritance were very interested in this.
Seeing that Fukue Island in front of him had gradually appeared on the sea surface, standing on the railings, Ping Qiusheng, who intended to create his "historic moment", whispered a Japanese song:
Tong ませtong ませ(pass by)
Where to go (Where to go, where to become a path)
The path to the god of heaven (the path to the god of heaven)
ごOpinionsごUseless がぬとても (No insight required, difficult to pass)
このののののいに (This child is a tribute of ten years old)
のお口 げあに的 (a worship of the double talisman)
OKきはよいなぎ就はこき (When you go, you are tired when you return)
I am connected to my heart - (I am tired, can I reach it directly)
Zichuan and other naturalized civilian cadres who accompanied him to the Five Islands listened respectfully to the song of Chief Ping's incomplete tone. The Japanese naturalized civilians obviously had no sense of adaptation, and the naturalized civilians in Fujian, Guangdong and were all listening with a strange expression of patience.
Because this time it was a business cooperation, there were not many entourages. In addition to his own life secretary, two guards and several business personnel selected from the Special Investigation Team, there was also an old man named Qiao Tianzhi.
This old man Qiao was very young. He was an unsuccessful coder and a successful otaku in the old time and space. He was bored as a coder and played a guest role as a hacker. The result of the unsuccessful hacker had to run away to different time and space to avoid being checked. Like all the old man Qiao, he stayed in a large library to do material work after d days. He also wrote program code for the executive committee and various departments. Especially the Planning Institute, there was a great demand for secondary development of the database.
Mr. Qiao was playing soy sauce in the library for three years. During this period, he also bought a maid, but he soon became tired of the maid - the maid was too far from his imagination. Boring work and boring maid, Qiao Tianzhi's little universe finally broke out - he decided to go out for adventure, so he signed up for work with Japan. Fortunately, he had special skills: English and Japanese. Especially the latter, although Mr. Qiao had never taken Japanese professional courses in one day, he actually learned to be able to watch animations and Japanese dramas directly with years of occult culture.
They only carry very simple medicines, weapons and a radio station. Ping Qiusheng himself majored in medicine. Later, he worked in the construction industry. In addition to Japanese, he also had some Korean languages, so he still had the ability to build an intelligence station in Japan. This time, he took this opportunity to get online with the Zhou family and took a sailboat.
Wudao is now under the Fukui Fen. The lord of the Fukui Fen was the Gokui Fen. The Gokui Fen was a pirate or a naval family that had been passed down for hundreds of years in Kyushu. The Gokui Fen has been active in this area since the Battle of Yuanpinghe, and is a typical powerful man on the coast of Japan. There are also many of the "Japanese pirates" that have gradually emerged since the Yuan Dynasty.
The Goshima family was like this and was half a pirate and half a fisherman. It has been passed down for 21 generations. The 21st generation of the lord, Genama Goshima, once led the Goshima navy to participate in the Korean strategy of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. After Toyotomi Hideyoshi's death, he remained neutral in the battle of Sekihara. Therefore, Genama Goshima was able to obtain a red seal from Toyotogawa Ieyasu in the eighth year of the lord of Toyotogawa Ieyasu and officially became the first lord of the Fukuei vassal state, becoming a 15,000 stone-like daimyo.
Ping Qiusheng remembers that at this time, the vassal lord of the Fukuei vassal was the second-generation Megoshima Shengli. The adopted son of the Wushima family killed his opponent in a political struggle eighteen years ago. The biological son of the first vassal lord, Hyuna, Dabin, was the master of the first vassal lord. In order to consolidate power, he rectified the retainers of the vassal. Sheng used it for twenty years, and now it has come to an end.
Ping Qiusheng prepared a good gift for him. A steel decorative sword with high yield, a pair of oval dressing mirrors and a glass Buddha statue. As a 15,000-stone external name, I believe Lord Shengli can know the weight of this gift.
Ping Qiusheng put away his thoughts. The boat had arrived at the Fujiang Island Wharf. After some busyness, he finally got ashore. A young man had already been waiting at the wharf. Before the big ship set off, he had already sent a communication and took a small clutch to report. The person was here.
"Master Ping, my master has already prepared a sedan chair." After a while, Tongshi greeted him, he saw a two-person sedan chair coming out of the shed next to him, saying it was a sedan chair, but it was actually a Japanese cage. Looking at the sedan chair's figure and expression, I thought it was a Japanese man. Although he followed the local customs, Ping Qiusheng looked at his belly and finally declined the kindness of the visitor and decided to walk. First, he heard that the Zhou family's shopping mall was not far away, and second, it was the first time in Japan in this time and space, so he also looked at the market here. Tongshi knew that the Australians were of the temper, and they were not good at being strong, so he followed this man.
Fuei Island is where the Fuei vassal lord lives in the city. It is relatively densely populated, the market is relatively prosperous, and the roads are flat. It can be seen that it took some effort. There are straw huts along the way, with sporadic fishing goods and vegetables placed there, but no meat is seen - since the Japanese, since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the upper nobles have stopped eating meat due to Buddhism, and gradually become the nation's non-eating meat. Therefore, although the vendors along the way are not hungry and hungry, they are obviously malnourished, and they describe them as being dry and thin. Most of the men are less than 1.6 meters tall, women are shorter, and many people are only 1.4 meters tall.
However, since Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Japan has not had a national war for decades. The benefits of social stability are obvious, unlike the Ming Dynasty's declining atmosphere everywhere. Although the living standards of the people are not high, they do not look like a frightened bird-like look that is in danger of fear. This makes Hiraki Satomi sigh--it would rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled person. It is true.
Behind the shed are some larger Japanese-style houses, all of which are only one floor. From the style, they look like shopping malls, but there is no lively atmosphere of Linggao, and even the weather of ordinary ports in East Asia at this time. About five hundred meters ahead, Ping Qiusheng noticed a long house on his right hand, and it seemed that there was still an entry inside.
"Is this the local agent?"
"This is the residence of the Wu men." Tongshi replied.
"Why does it seem like no one lives in it? Are the men not here on weekdays?"
"This is not. After the vassal lord's residence in Keichang was burned in 19th, the Ministry of War built a formation house on Ishida and asked the retainers to move to the newly built Ishida formation house. Naturally, there was no one here." Tongshi's question to Hei Qiusheng was not surprised, "There is my master's house in front of me."
Sure enough, less than fifty meters in front was a courtyard. This courtyard was very conspicuous: traditional Chinese buildings were a bit out of place with the buildings here - very abrupt.
The news led them to the door. The gate of the yard opened, and a servant greeted him and said in a somewhat awkward Nanzhili Mandarin: "The master has been waiting for a long time. Please ask the master from Australia to go to the flower hall to sit less first."
When you enter the yard, it is a different style. The style of Chinese-style buildings in this time and space are matched with Japanese-style courtyards and plants, making the passage through the secret passages exquisite. The flower hall is in the first courtyard. Although it is a Chinese-style building, it is indeed according to the layout of a Japanese-style courtyard. Sitting from the inside, there is actually a gate outside, but some plants are partitioned in the middle, so you can't see the situation outside. Two special detective team members stood behind him, and Ping Qiusheng sorted out his thoughts. The servants put some tea as usual. Soon, they saw two servants surround an old man. Seeing that the old man was about sixty years old and his temples were gray. Although he could see that he was quite delicate when he took care of him, he felt like he was weathered and frost in his expression. It seemed that this person must be Zhou Xingru.
After sitting down for two times, there was not much vain. Zhou Xingru heard the news that the Australians called themselves maritime merchants, but their behavior was very different from maritime merchants. These days, the guys on the ship saw Australians building cities and roads, building canals and clearing wastelands on Jeju Island, and reported to the master one by one. This time, Mr. Zhou also went through some things and knew that the purpose of this maritime merchant was very small. Don't say anything, he directly occupied Jeju Island directly at them. This courage was above Wang Zhi back then.
Of course, Li Chao is not a powerful character, but Australian maritime merchants can make such a determination and do such a big career, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
With this understanding, Mr. Zhou naturally spoke cautiously, and often observed his expressions and asked about the affairs of Australia from time to time. He also asked about peace and autumn ancestors.
Mr. Zhou was born in Nanzhili, and naturally had much more knowledge than Fujian's maritime merchants. He knew that he had a shallow foundation and was an outsider among maritime merchants, and it was difficult to resist the later Fujian and Guangdong maritime merchants. Therefore, he took the shogunate path very early and obtained the red seal of the shogunate, which could appear as a Japanese merchant ship at any time. The benefit of changing identities was difficult for other maritime merchants to achieve. Therefore, he was able to maintain his share in the chaotic maritime merchant pirate gangs that were once in the East China Sea.
However, Zheng Zhilong's arrogant aura gradually revealed in the trade with Japan made Zhou Xingru feel pressured. He had a good relationship with the shogunate, but Zheng Zhilong's relationship with the shogunate was also very strong. What's more, Zheng Zhilong's strength - whether it is financial resources, military power or number of ships, is far above him.
If Lao Zheng wants to eat alone, he will have no choice.
Now, an Australian maritime merchant suddenly appeared for no reason, and he stayed on Jeju Island and couldn't leave - Mr. Zhou knew very well that whether it was Jeju Island or Li's North Korea, there was nothing worthy of this group of people's capital. Their capital was the only thing they wanted was the big fat piece of Sino-Japanese trade. (To be continued.)
