No Chinese on the ship took his so-called descendants of General Taira seriously - the Chinese were not familiar with Japanese history and had been familiar with this trick of trying to cling to their ancestors since childhood, so they just let it go. [Read the latest chapter] In contrast, Japanese sailors who are very interested in family names and family bloodline inheritance are very interested in this.
Seeing that Fukue Island was gradually emerging from the sea ahead, Taira Akiumori, who had been standing on the railing with the intention of creating a "historic moment", sang a Japanese song in a low voice:
通りませ通りませ（Let’s pass. Let’s pass.
Where is the narrow road?
Tenshin Gentori's narrow path (the path to Tenshin)
ごOpinionご无用通れぬとても（No opinion required, it is difficult to pass
This child's tenth birthday
両のお札を纳めに神ず (worship with double talismans)
行きはよいなぎ帰りはこわき（Cool breeze when you leave, tired when you return
My heart is tired, can I reach it directly?
Zichuan and other naturalized cadres who accompanied him to the Five Islands listened respectfully to Chief Ping's tone-deaf singing - the Japanese naturalized people obviously felt no discomfort at all, and the naturalized people from Guangdong and Fujian all listened with strange patience. With.
Because this is a business cooperation, there are not many people accompanying us. In addition to his own life secretary, two escorts drawn from the special investigation team and several business personnel, there is also a veteran named Qiao Tianzhi.
This veteran Qiao is very young. In the old time and space, he was an unsuccessful coder and a successful otaku. Mr. Qiao is bored as a coder. Guest appearance as a hacker. Unsuccessful hackers will have to travel to another time and space to avoid having their water meters checked. Elder Qiao, like all the veteran programmers, stayed in the big library doing information work after the D-Day. Also write program code for the executive committee and various departments. In particular, the Planning Institute has a great demand for secondary development of databases.
Mr. Qiao worked in the library in obscurity for three years. During this period, he also bought a maid, but he soon got tired of the maid - the maid was too far away from his imagination. With a boring job and a boring maid, Qiao Tianzhi's little universe finally exploded - he decided to go out on an adventure and signed up to work against Japan. Fortunately, he has special skill points: English and Japanese. Especially the latter. Although Mr. Qiao has never taken a Japanese professional class for a single day, he has relied on years of otaku culture to teach himself to the point where he can watch animations and Japanese dramas directly.
They carried only simple medicines, weapons and a radio. Ping Qiusheng himself majored in medicine. Later, he worked in the construction industry. In addition to Japanese, he also had some knowledge of Korean, and he still had the ability to build an intelligence station in Japan. This time I just took this opportunity to connect with the Zhou family. Just take a ride.
Goto is now under the rule of Fukue Domain. The lord of the Fukue Domain is the Goto family. The Goto family is a pirate or navy family that has been passed down in Kyushu for hundreds of years. The Goto navy has been active in this area since the Genpei War. They are typical of the powerful people along the coast of Japan. They are also among the "Japanese pirates" that have gradually emerged since the Yuan Dynasty.
In this way, the Goto family lived a life of half pirates and half fishermen. It has been passed down for 21 generations. Genya Goto, the 21st generation leader, once led the Goto navy to participate in Toyotomi Hideyoshi's North Korea strategy. After the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. He maintained neutrality in the Sekigahara War, so Goto Genma was able to live for the eighth year of his reign (1603), received the Zhusin seal from Tokugawa Ieyasu, and officially became the first lord of the Fukue Domain, becoming a 15,000-koku daimyo.
Taira Akiumori remembered that the lord of the Fukue Domain at this time was the second generation Goto Mori. This adopted son of the Goto family had killed his opponent in a political struggle eighteen years ago. The biological son of the first generation lord Genya, Ohama Shosui . In order to consolidate power, the feudal retainers were reorganized. Shengli has been using it for twenty years, and now it has come to an end.
Ping Qiu Sheng prepared a nice gift for him. A Lingaoyi steel decorative sword, a pair of oval dressing mirrors and a glass Buddha statue. As a daimyo with an appearance of fifteen thousand dan, Lord Shengli must be able to understand the weight of this gift.
Ping Qiusheng put away his thoughts. The ship had arrived at Fujiang Island Pier. After a lot of work, it finally landed. There was a young man waiting at the pier. Before the ship set off, he had sent a general to take a small speedboat to report back. , here comes the person.
"Mr. Ping, my master has prepared a sedan." The general greeted him, and saw a two-person sedan coming out of the shed next to him. It was said to be a sedan, but it was actually a Japanese-style cage. Judging from the figure and demeanor of the sedan bearer, There is no doubt that they are Japanese. Although he did as the Romans do, Ping Qiusheng looked at his belly and finally declined the visitor's kindness and decided to walk. First, he heard that the Zhou family's business store was not far away, and secondly, it was the first time he came back to Japan in this time and space. Along the way It’s also good to check out the market here. Tongshi knew the temper of Australians and it was hard to be strong, so he just let the man with the temples go.
Fukue Island is where the main residence of the Fukue Domain is located. It is relatively densely populated, the market is relatively prosperous, and the roads are smooth. It can be seen that some effort has been spent on it. There were straw huts from time to time along the way, with scattered fish and vegetables on display. No meat was seen. Since the Northern and Southern Dynasties in Japan, the upper-class nobles stopped eating meat due to the influence of Buddhism, and gradually the whole people stopped eating meat. Therefore, although the appearance of the vendors along the way is not that they are starving to the bone, they are obviously malnourished and appear black and thin. Most of the men are under 1.6 meters in height, and the women are even shorter. Many are only 1.4 meters tall. Passed.
However, Japan has not had a nationwide war for decades since Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The benefits of social stability are obvious, unlike the Ming Dynasty, which was full of decline. Although the living standards of the common people are not high, they do not appear to be frightened or frightened. This makes Ping Qiu Sheng very sad - he would rather be a peace dog than a person in troubled times. Sure enough.
Behind the shed are some larger Japanese-style houses, all with only one floor. From the style, they look like commercial buildings, but they don't have the lively atmosphere of Lingao, or even the atmosphere of ordinary ports in East Asia at this time. About five hundred meters ahead, Ping Qiu Sheng noticed a long house on the right, and it looked like there was another room inside.
"Is this where the local agent is located?"
"This is the residence of the masters of the Wu family." Tongshi replied.
"Why does it look like no one lives here? Don't the gentlemen always come here?"
"That's not true. After Egawa Castle, the residence of the feudal lord, was burned down in the 19th year of Keicho, the military commander built a formation house over Ishida and asked the retainers to move to the newly built Ishida formation house. Naturally, there was no one here. "The general manager was not surprised by Ping Qiusheng's question, "In front is my master's building."
Sure enough, there was a courtyard less than fifty meters in front. This courtyard is very conspicuous: the traditional Chinese-style buildings are somewhat incompatible with the buildings here - very abrupt.
The general led them to the door. The gate of the courtyard opened, and a boy came out to welcome him. He said in a slightly awkward Nanzhili Mandarin: "The master has been waiting for you for a long time. Please go and sit in the flower hall first."
Entering the courtyard, it has a different style. The style of this time's aerial architecture coupled with Japanese-style courtyards and plants makes walking through the many secret passages exquisite. The flower hall is in the first courtyard. Although it is a Chinese-style building, it is indeed laid out according to the Japanese courtyard. When you sit down in the inner room, the outside is actually the main door, but some plants are used to separate it, so you can't see what's going on outside. Two special detectives stood behind him, and Ping Qiusheng gathered his thoughts. The servants served some tea as usual. Not long after, I saw an old man coming out surrounded by two young men. I saw that the old man was about sixty years old, with gray hair on his temples. Although he had taken good care and taken good care of himself, he had a weather-beaten look on his face. Feeling, it seems that this person must be Zhou Xingru.
After sitting down for two times, there was not much formality. Zhou Xingru heard from the general manager who came back that this Australian also called himself a maritime merchant, but his behavior was indeed very different from that of a maritime merchant. These days, the crew on board the ship saw Australians practicing repairs in Jeju Island. Building roads in the city, building canals and clearing wasteland, all the general affairs were reported to the master one by one. Master Zhou has also gone through some things this week, and he knows that this group of maritime merchants have a big ambition - not to mention, going straight towards them to seize Jeju Island directly, this courage is even higher than that of Wang Zhi back then.
Of course Li Chao is not a powerful character, but the Australian maritime merchants can make such determination and do such a big undertaking, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
With this understanding, Mr. Zhou was naturally cautious in his words and very observant. From time to time, he also asked about the affairs of Australia and the ancestors of Heping Qiu Sheng.
Mr. Zhou was born in Nanzhili, so he naturally had much more experience than the maritime merchants from Fujian. He knew very well that he had a weak foundation and was an outsider in the maritime business world, and it was difficult to resist the rising Fujian and Guangdong maritime merchants. Therefore, he took the path of the shogunate very early and obtained the seal of the shogunate. He could appear as a Japanese merchant ship at any time. , this advantage of being able to change your identity is difficult for other maritime merchants to achieve. Therefore, he has been able to maintain his share in the chaotic maritime pirate gangs in the East China Sea for a long time.
However, Zheng Zhilong's self-centered attitude gradually revealed in his trade with Japan, which made Zhou Xingru feel even more pressure. The relationship between himself and the shogunate is indeed very good, but Zheng Zhilong's relationship with the shogunate is also very strong. What's more, Zheng Zhilong's strength - whether it is financial resources, military power or the number of ships, is far superior to his own.
If Lao Zheng wants to eat alone, there is really nothing he can do.
Now an Australian maritime businessman suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and he couldn't stay in Jeju Island - Mr. Zhou knew very well that there was nothing worthy of this group of people, whether it was Jeju Island or Lee's North Korea. Where the capital is concerned, they only intend to spend this capital on the big fat piece of Sino-Japanese trade. (To be continued.)
