It was not these warriors who dominated Japan.
It was the rich men and generals who provided food and money behind these warriors.
They are the source of the entire Japanese rebellion.
Genji is said to have been without a director in the country for several years, and power fell into the hands of others in a short period of time.
And these people who divided the military power in his hands were these big businessmen and landowners.
They also needed to trade with the Song Dynasty.
The commodity productivity of the Japanese country was so low that many of their daily necessities were still in the pottery age, and clothing was the lowest quality burlap products, not to mention other daily necessities.
Even the three meals a day for the nobles, princes, and daimyo only consisted of dried fish, pickled radish, pickles, plums, seaweed, rice, soup rice, etc. As a result, unique foods such as sushi and chazuke rice were invented.
Do you think any official in the Song Dynasty would take a serious look at this kind of food? If there weren't some bear paws, shark's fins, ginseng and abalone, they wouldn't be able to get it! In the Song Dynasty, becoming an official was one step to success. The common people laughed all day long that the county magistrate was a ninth-grade sesame official, but they did not know the power of this sesame official.
It can be said that in this small world, this little sesame has the energy of an emperor. Whatever he dreamed of last night, he can realize it tomorrow!
Food, haha, for these officials, that is just the lowest level of enjoyment!
But the Japanese country had no choice. Although they also had unlimited power, they really had nothing for them to enjoy. The good things were all in the hands of the Song Dynasty people on the opposite side. They could only transport the good things over through trade.
Even a piece of floral cloth, transported to the Japanese country, can cause people to break their heads!
The Japanese country later discovered silver mines. Such good things stimulated their desire to buy. Silver mines are good things, but in their hands they are not as good as papyrus. Because they cannot buy goods, they can only refine the ores into silver and finally ship them. Come to Da Song to buy things.
But the Song Dynasty came up with the most amazing trick and banned the trade route!
This time it is not a question of whether the powerful people of Japan can enjoy it, but a question of survival!
The productivity of the Japanese country is very low. This low is not only commercial productivity, but also primitive agricultural productivity. They don’t grow much food, and the fish they catch is not high. Famines occur in the country from time to time, and there is a lot of food. They also have to buy basic daily necessities from Da Song. Now that they can't buy anything, they can only rely on robbing!
The world is so helpless sometimes. People are unwilling to close the door to your business and knock on your door with a knife, forcing you to sell your goods to them. This kind of thing happens not only in the Japanese country, but also with the nomadic people in the north. Many times wars are fought like this. If you sell something to them, they will be very happy. Once they don't sell it, they will chase you with their knives. Got it!
The Central Plains Dynasty's method of sanctioning these ethnic minorities is to sell goods in small quantities and use starvation marketing methods to make them unable to fight and feel uncomfortable! Another way is to sell some second-rate goods to them. These people have never seen the world. If you give them some rags, they can take them home and use them as treasures. .
Who calls them poor?
Liang Chuan didn't care who would solve the Japanese problem. Now he was almost the same as the Japanese. At least in terms of his position in the Song Dynasty, he was a pirate!
As long as these Japanese don't bother him, he doesn't have the energy to deal with them now.
No matter how it starts in the future, Liang Chuan will definitely accompany you!
As soon as he thought of this, Xia Dehai roared urgently, immediately climbed up the mast, picked up the telescope and took a look.
'Boss, we have just gone to sea, and there is another situation!
Xia Dehai put away the telescope, jumped off the mast of the treasure ship and said to Liang Chuan.
Liang Chuan followed the direction pointed by Xia Dehai and looked into the depths of the sea. He saw a fleet approaching from the north, which was far larger than their three ships.
Because they did not come specifically for combat this time, Liang Chuan did not bring many treasure ships. In addition to his own main ship, there were only three. Even though they only had three ships, they could easily deal with ordinary pirates even with thirty ships. Board tidy up.
In this sea area,
In some years, no opponent dared to take the initiative to challenge. Where did these people come from?
The opponent's ships were more numerous than ours. If they came to attack, they could surround them in a half-moon formation, but the opponent did not. Instead, they sailed to a certain distance and stopped, and the two sides faced each other across the sea.
'Can you see the other party's flag?
Xia Dehai raised his mirror and looked into the distance, only to see a wolf head hanging on the opponent's flag.
'It's a flag with a wolf's head, without any name written on it.
Wolf head?
Liang Chuan couldn't remember for a moment which rival's flag this was.
A main ship from the other side sailed out of the formation and slowly approached Liang Chuan's treasure ship. In order to show that they were not hostile, all of them stood on the deck without any weapons.
'Boss, what should we do? These are definitely not merchant ships. Now that the Song Dynasty has banned shipping, all merchants have died. How can anyone still do business?
Liang Chuan stared at the boats and said without thinking: "The brothers under the boats immediately prepared all the cannons for me. When something went wrong, I gave the order to open fire immediately and send these people to the west!"
Xia Dehai was startled, and a girlish smile appeared on his face. This was the feeling of his familiar boss. On the surface, he looked harmless to humans and animals, but in fact, he harbored evil intentions. No, he was full of bad intentions. Oh no, in fact, he was very confident. .
There is only a sneer in Liang Chuan's eyes. Those who come are not good, and those who are kind will not come. During the Chinese New Year, only weasels will come to pay New Year greetings. Who else on this vast sea will be so enthusiastic and send him warmth?
Their ships were hidden on Penghu Island for more than half a month, and none of them went out to sea. As soon as they went out to sea, they were encountered by others. In addition to installing positioning on the ship, they were either waiting here to go out to sea. How can they calculate so accurately? He must be an opponent with a very good brain, a patient and intelligent opponent, and now Liang Chuan meets one, that neither male nor female Murong Chao!
I recall that my first encounter with Murong Chao was on this sea. Are we going to meet him again today?
"Whether Master Liang Chuan is on board, I have been waiting at sea for a long time. I don't have any ill intentions. I would also like to ask Master Liang to come out and explain!"
The size of the sea-going ship opposite is much smaller than our own treasure ship. The treasure ship produced by Qingyuan Shipyard is the most advanced in the world in terms of quality and specifications.
The sea was windy and the north wind was howling, making people's voices unclear.
The people on the treasure ship were extremely nervous. Although they had artillery in their hands, they encountered such ambushes only rarely.
As long as the other party has kerosene and rockets on board, they can cause big losses to all three of their ships, so the group did not dare to underestimate them.
Liang Chuan had a good ear, so he still got a general idea.
Who is coming for me?
Liang Chuan pulled Xia Dehai over and said, "Dehai, come on, I want you to be me today!"
Xia Dehai was stunned and said: 'Huh?
No matter who it is, Liang Chuan doesn't want to show off today.
I'm afraid there will be another fierce battle.
Liang Chuan's heart was very heavy. At this point, he was at the end of his rope and was forced to go to Liangshan.
There is only a small island behind him, and there is no way out. Even where is his last nest, and the time when he leaves is accurate. It is not easy for him to sneak attack on him!
Such an opponent deserves attention!
Xia Dehai was still thinking about how to pretend to be Liang Chuan, when he heard people on the opposite boat start shouting again: "Master Liang, we know that there is a very powerful weapon on your ship, and it may have been aimed at us now. In order to To express sincerity, we are a boat approaching Mr. Liang. Mr. Liang, please rest assured that we definitely do not have any malicious intent!
Damn it, all the good people in this world are dead!
Liang Chuan said to Xia Dehai: "Let someone tell them to keep their boat away. If there is gunpowder on the boat, we will be dead. If we want to talk, we can talk. Just put a boat down and stand on the boat and come over. We can talk!"
When you come here, I will send you to the west with one shot!
Liang Chuan whispered: "If they don't dare to get on the boat, don't be polite. These people have something in their minds. Send them on their way immediately. If they get off the boat." .
Before Liang Chuan finished speaking, he saw a small boat coming out from the other side and lowering the boat into the sea. .
I really want to get on the boat!
So brave! ..
'What should we do, boss? Should I get on the boat to talk to him?
Liang Chuan raised his eyebrows and faced this challenge head-on: "Of course we have to talk. Today you are me. I give you full authority. Go down and talk to him. Just listen to what he says. Don't answer too directly, just be vague!"
Xia Dehai was so nervous for the first time in his life. He was asked to go to the river to kill people and buy goods without batting an eye. He was asked to negotiate with the other party. He really didn't know where to start.
'Go ahead and do it boldly. Just treat the people opposite you as the ones you robbed, and you are still the same boatman. Who will not be deceived by you?
Before leaving, Liang Chuan did not forget to encourage Xia Dehai: "No matter what you said, I will not blame you, but just go ahead!"
Xia Dehai felt relieved and handed the telescope to his men, muttering: "Put it away. If you drop it, I will break your legs when I get back!"
The subordinates and Liang Chuan watched Xia Dehai off, and also put down a small boat. A sailor rowed the boat, and the two slowly approached each other's boat.
The other party has one person and one boat, and he has quite the pride of Guan Gong attending a meeting alone.
Liang Chuan watched from a distance on the boat and couldn't help but praise.
When the other party came closer, Liang Chuan could see the other party's appearance clearly. They were in their forties, and their faces were like knives and axes, with very clear lines. Their appearance was somewhat similar to Yelu Zhongguang and the others, and this face made Liang Chuan feel I'm sure I've seen it somewhere, but I can't remember it at the moment. .
But what was certain was that the person coming was not that dead demon Murong Chao, which made him feel at ease a lot. .
Thinking of Murong Chao Liangchuan is full of shadows. This kid has been lying in wait in South Vietnam for so many years in order to cause trouble for him. I almost got into his trap. In terms of scheming and courage, he is really his number one opponent!
