When the Ming Dynasty envoy came, Zong Yicheng reported it immediately.
Daming came to trade, and Zong Yicheng accepted it.
Regardless of whether the Tokugawa shogunate allows it or not, he will do this business.
If the shogunate agrees, then do it openly.
If the shogunate doesn't agree, then do it quietly.
Tsushima Island has poor resources and survival is difficult. If you don't do business, you will only die of starvation.
The shogunate was almost abolished after the shogunate discovered that the shogunate in his previous life secretly traded with North Korea.
He has the courage and the determination to revive Tsushima.
"The glass sold by Zheng is in very short supply. I wonder if you have any sources?"
Zong Yicheng was very greedy and asked for the glass trade as soon as he came up.
Liao Zhongjian refused on the spot and made it very clear.
"The Zheng family allows me to trade between Shandong and Tsushima, but glass is not among them. I think the master doesn't want to offend the Zheng family, right?"
Zong Yicheng was a little disappointed, but he could accept it.
Zheng's strength was there, he couldn't afford to offend her.
If no business can be done because of offending Mr. Zheng, it will be a huge loss.
"In this case, the quantity of cotton cloth and cotton socks needs to be increased."
Although the watches, leather shoes and other products brought by Liao Zhongjian were exquisite and luxurious, Zong Yicheng was more interested in the cotton series of products.
In any trade, commodities are always the mainstream.
After all, there are only a limited number of wealthy people in Japan. Good things like clocks and leather shoes have limited customers and cannot be sold in large quantities.
Cotton is different.
People need this stuff, and the market is endless.
The cotton cloth brought by Liao Zhongjian was of high quality and low price, far beyond the coarse cloth from Japan.
Once it is introduced to the market, it will be popular.
Cotton socks are a subsidiary product of cotton. Because they are comfortable to wear, Zong Yicheng believes that they will sell well.
Regarding his requirements, Liao Zhongjian did everything he could.
The trade with Tsushima is actually just incidental in Shandong.
What Shandong seeks is a smooth route through the Tsushima Strait.
The cotton cloth produced in Songjiang Prefecture was originally sold overseas.
However, in the past they were only sold to Nanyang. Zheng would also sell some to Japan, but not much.
With the implementation of the industrialized production model, the output of cotton cloth in Songjiang Prefecture has increased significantly. After suppressing the price of cotton cloth, the extra products are also worried about sales.
Although Shandong is a large consumer of cotton cloth, it does not use that much.
It would also be good to open up one more sales channel.
"We have all kinds of cotton cloth. As much as you want, we will deliver it in two months."
Zong Yicheng didn't believe it.
"How about three hundred thousand horses?"
Liao Zhongjian stretched out his palm.
"It's a deal."
A sample of only 300,000 pieces of cotton cloth, Shandong's storage is more than that. There is no need to transfer goods from Songjiang Prefecture now, Shandong can satisfy the transaction.
…………………………
Since the Kong family was eliminated, the Dongjiang rebels were of no use.
It is time for Shandong, which is in turmoil, to stabilize and rebuild.
Zuo Menggeng gave the order, and all the troops of the New Army quickly mobilized to launch the final siege against the Dongjiang rebels.
After escaping from Qufu, the Dongjiang Army was stationed in the Zouxian area.
Knowing that the new army was attacking from the east, north and west, the Dongjiang Army had no choice but to flee south along the official road.
They originally thought that this time the new army was still advancing steadily, giving them a chance to escape calmly.
However in fact...
"Report, the enemy has arrived twenty miles away, and the cavalry was found in Wangjiazhuang in the northeast."
Kong Youde couldn't help but panic.
"Why did you come so quickly?"
Geng Zhongming frowned.
"There's something wrong with Zuo Mengeng."
Since Mao Chenglu survived a shot last time, he was least willing to fight with the new army.
"Go quickly, go quickly."
Kong Youde did not want to fight with the new army, so he quickly ordered all ministries to speed up the march.
But what the rebel generals didn't know was that the new army was already in a state of emergency march at this time.
"Tell all the ministries to start fighting when the rebels are bitten. There is no need to wait for orders or reinforcements. The rebels will never dare to stop fighting. Who can achieve any results depends on their own abilities."
Zuo Menggeng was in the Second Army, but issued orders to all troops.
This time, three divisions and more than 50,000 people were used to deal with the Dongjiang rebels. It was like a lion fighting a rabbit. He did not believe that the Dongjiang rebels could withstand this thunderous blow.
After the order was given, all the departments of the New Army immediately became like chicken blood.
"Listen to me. If anyone runs slower and eats less meat, I will tear off a piece of meat from him. Who are we? We are the first army, so of course we must be the first. Pass the order , speed up, speed up again, we must seize Yishan tonight and bite the tail of the rebels."
Bai Xiaoqi is a domineering god and his orders cannot be questioned.
But the general below was even more ruthless.
"Tell everyone, ditch the unnecessary luggage and pack light!"
Lou Fu personally helped push the cannon and gave his mount to the mortar.
As a teacher, he leads by example, and others follow suit.
The movement speed of the third division suddenly increased a lot.
The infantrymen began to trot all the way, running south quickly.
This is true for the First Army, and even more so for the Second Army.
For a time, the land of Luxi was filled with dust and smoke, and several armies were like soaring dragons biting at the rebels.
"Is Zuo Mengeng crazy?"
The scouts sent their generals' messages like a stream of water, and all the rebel generals were frightened.
They thought their marching speed was fast enough, but the new army pursued them even faster.
"What to do? But it's only fifteen miles away. As long as we can take a breath, we will be bitten."
The rebel generals did not know that marching was also part of the quality of the army.
In their army, there are too many people who are just passing the numbers, and they also carry a lot of wealth. In addition, there is no strict organization and discipline, so no matter how fast they are, they can't get anywhere.
The new army is completely militarized. Once it takes action, it gallops like a tiger and leaps like a dragon. Like an arrow, it has already approached the periphery of the rebels.
"General Mao Shen, go and delay for a while. No matter what, it will take a few hours."
Facing the huge pressure, Kong Youde had to send people to stop him.
Otherwise, if you don't make it through today, you will have to be overtaken by the new army.
In his opinion, the person most suitable to block the attack was Mao Chenglu.
Because Mao Chenglu's men are all cavalry, it is definitely easier to leave than the infantry.
Although he knew that it was dangerous to block the attack, Mao Chenglu also knew that no one could do it except himself.
"Please also ask the Commander-in-Chief to prepare food and fodder at the front to support our troops."
Kong Youde agreed.
"Don't worry, I will reserve a force in Teng County to cover your withdrawal."
Mao Chenglu felt relieved, ordered his three thousand cavalry, broke away from the brigade, and killed the new army in the rear.
I heard that the infantry of the new army were running forward in a loose formation. Maybe they would have a chance to break in and cause a massacre.
