Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 795

When the fleet docked, Japanese government servants were in charge of counting the cargo on board.

Even though Japan has locked down the country now, and the main fiscal revenue does not depend on overseas trade, tariffs still have to be collected.

Wu Yunzhong stepped forward and stopped the Japanese who wanted to board the ship for inspection, and took out a sign from his waist. When the Japanese saw this sign, their expressions immediately changed.

Shaoqing, a middle-aged man with the appearance of a Japanese official came, and after a polite exchange with Wu Yunzhong, he followed Wu Yunzhong to board the big ship where Liu Hongjian was.

"Let me introduce to Amano-kun. This is Liu Neng, the young owner of our Nishiyama business cooperation. The young master likes to travel all his life, and this time he is here in Nagasaki." Wu Yunzhong said to Amano Miyu in fluent Japanese.

And Liu Neng was Liu Hongjian's imperial code name, which was specially given to Wu Yunzhong by Liu Hongjian. He felt that this code name was very festive and auspicious.

Mihiro Amano looked Liu Hongjian up and down, smiled at Liu Hongjian, and muttered something to Wu Yunzhong, then bowed his head and entered the cabin.

"Master, he said that he heard that there is a prince in Daming whose surname is Liu. He is a hero. His subordinates did not dare to explain to him, but only said that you have nothing to do with the Prince of Anguo County."

The foreign officials of Xishan Shanghe have always been the British Duke Zhang Weixian and Qian Guogong Mu Tianbo. Only a few court officials know the details of Xishan Shanghe.

It's just that Liu Hongjian was very surprised that the name of Anguo County King could be spread to Japan.

After Wu Yunzhong and Liu Hongjian explained briefly, they followed Amano Mihiro into the cabin.

Almost all the tea leaves were neatly arranged in the cabin. Miyu Amano grabbed a handful of tea leaves and smelled them, praising the quality of the tea leaves.

Wu Yunzhong naturally understood, and immediately ordered his subordinates to pack a bag and give it to Amano, and also sent a 2000 tael silver note at the same time, so that the young master Liu Neng couldn't wait to go ashore for fun, and the boat behind was also full of tea. Let Amano be flexible and pay the customs duty directly to save some time.

The ticket stub of the silver ticket is naturally Xishan Shanghe, and Dongying's Xishan Shanghe branch is opened in Nagasaki, and the credit of Xishan Shanghe is naturally unquestionable, as long as you hold the silver ticket, you can immediately deal with silver.

Amano glanced at it greedily, stuffed the bank note into his pocket unceremoniously, and then patted his chest and said it was okay, after all, the two were old acquaintances.

As a result, the fleet passed the inspection of the Japanese, and Amano even set aside a small area in the port in order to repay, and then Liu Hongjian set foot on the land of the Japanese swaggeringly with twenty or thirty entourages. .

"Old Wu, the hairstyles of these Japanese people are really ugly!" Liu Hongjian wanted to say it when he saw Amano, but it was not convenient at that time.

The hairstyle of the Japanese is very different from that of later generations, especially for men.

The men's hairstyle is slightly similar to Mi Qing's. The upper half of the forehead is bald, reaching to the top of the head, and the hair is not long at the temples, and most of them are tied with a small braid behind the forehead.

This hairstyle is not uncommon in later generations of China, but it is all because these Chinese people work so hard that the hairline moves back and the hair on the top of the head falls out. This hairstyle has a unique term in China—— —Mediterranean.

"Master, the Japanese have always been like this, unbearably vulgar, extremely vulgar." Wu Yunzhong shook his head and said, he has dealt with the Japanese a lot, so he is not surprised.

Along the way, Liu Hongjian had seen the poverty of the Japanese people. At least the ordinary people in Dongying were really poor. Not only were they all sallow, emaciated and malnourished, but their clothes were also torn like beggars on the streets of Daming.

Liu Hongjian was not in the mood for sightseeing, so the group followed Wu Yunzhong directly to Tagawa's home in Nagasaki.

The trade between Nishiyama Shoho and the Tagawa family only started in the past two years, and it was still a match made by the younger brother Zheng Sen, because the Tagawa family is talking about Zheng Sen's younger brother Tagawa Qizaemon.

Maybe everyone has heard of the name Zaemon, the word is just like its meaning, literally means the guard by the gate, but this name is not something that just anyone can pick.

Because the gate guarded by this name belongs to the emperor, only the most loyal and brave warriors are eligible for the title. Of course, if you have a capable father, or have a strong relationship, none of this matters.

Zheng Zhilong is very capable, not to say that he himself is very capable, but that his godfather is capable. Li Dan was one of the best merchants in Japan during the Warring States Period.

At the end of the Warring States period, the Tokugawa family fought to the death with the other two princes. Zheng Zhilong's godfather Li Dan helped the Tokugawa family win with huge funds.

In return, Li Dan monopolized Dongying's ocean trade for a long time until Li Dan died of illness and Lao Zheng took over. Even so, the Zheng family still had considerable influence in Nagasaki.

The reason why Zheng Sen's own brother was surnamed Tian Chuan instead of Zheng was a helpless move.

The Tokugawa family was not at ease with the Zheng family, and Zheng Sen had to compromise for the sake of the trade there, and adopted Zheng Sen's younger brother to Zheng Sen's mother's natal family, the Tianchuan family.

Even so, the Tokugawa family still did not allow Shichizaemon to return to Daming.

When Qizaemon was 15 years old, Zheng Zhilong sent another letter to invite Tagawa’s mother and son to come to Daming to reunite with their families. Tagawa was very happy and prepared to leave, but was obstructed by the Japanese side. If he wanted to go to China, his second son Shichizaemon had to stay in Japan as a condition to make a promise. He tried to force Tagawa to give up the idea of ​​coming to China because of the inseparable relationship between mother and child.

But Mrs. Tian Chuan weighed the pros and cons, remembering that her husband and son's careers were still developing, and she needed her to wait for the morning and evening. When she couldn't be perfect, she put the overall situation first, reluctantly parted with her, and came to China alone.

Before leaving, she had tears streaming down her cheeks, and repeatedly told Shichizaemon, who lived with her grandfather, to exhort: "Whoa, I will give up my son at the end! I pity my father and brother, and I pity my son. When I was old, I paid a certain amount of money to entrust the merchant ship." Send my son. Woohoo, I will finally give up my son! Although, my son, don’t forget your father and brother, and don’t forget the China where your mother and child are going today.”

It is precisely because of the teachings of his mother, Tagawa Shichizaemon, that although Tagawa Shichizaemon never returned to Daming, he always thought of Daming and his elder brother Zheng Sen across the sea.

Qizaemon has since been serving as the representative of the Zheng family in Japan, engaging in Sino-Japanese trade.

Among the forces of the official party, Zheng Zhilong was planning to be the host of the Japanese branch of the trade line. When the news of Tagawa's martyrdom and Zheng Chenggong's rebellion against the Qing reached Japan, "Schizaemon is a leader, please go to The Ming Dynasty will succeed with all its strength, and take revenge by destroying the Qing Dynasty", and wrote to his elder brother Chenggong many times, requesting to return to China to participate in the war against the Qing Dynasty.

Shichizaemon's request was unfortunately not fulfilled, and he continued to send manpower and supplies to his brother, and maintained the lifeline of the organization's maritime trade until the Tokugawa shogunate locked the country.

After wandering at the door of Tian Chuan's house for a while, Liu Hongjian finally ordered Wu Yunzhong to come in.
