Chapter 105 The Origin of the Conflict Between Japan and the Netherlands

The meaning of crossing forces is very clear: Given that history has changed, the kidnapping of Nuiz by the Japanese Hamada Yahei will definitely not happen again next year.

Considering that in this case, if the original contradiction is not detonated, the Dutch business house that was closed due to the kidnapping incident in history may continue to open in Japan, which is intolerable.So right now, the traveler must use the weight at hand to try to make up for this historical debt that is not good for him, pull the list in advance, and completely kick the Dutch out of the players in the trade with Japan.

Throughout the entire early colonial history of East Asia, in the Japan-Dutch trade dispute, the level of hooliganism of the players on both sides is enough to make latecomers admire.The difficulty is not here, the difficulty is: it is really not easy to regard hooliganism as the truth and firmly believe it.

First up is the Dutch.The Dutch have strength, especially in the first half of the 17th century, they deserved to be the world's largest channel provider and the largest logistics provider.Zheng Zhilong understood the strength of the Dutchman. Even when Zheng Zhilong was at the peak of his life, the officials could buy enough raw silk from him every year to ship to Japan for sale.

Isn't there a great victory in Luowan?Zheng Zhilong has never suffered a loss in the previous few big and small fights. Why did he give his flesh to the Dutch?In fact, Zheng Zhilong knows better than anyone else: leaving the coastal areas with complicated sea conditions, leaving superior forces, and leaving those one-time fireboats that cannot sail far, he will be hanged and beaten.Simply put, there is more than enough to stay at home, but not enough to go out.

The colonists who used hot weapon projection as their tactical guiding ideology had already overwhelmed the original cold weapon indigenous armed forces in essence. This gap cannot be made up by setting up a large formation at the door of the house and winning a few battles.

Therefore, the fact that the Dutch occupied the top ranks was the result of a compromise after Da Ming and Zheng Zhilong recognized each other's strength through several bloody battles on land and sea.

However, there is a Japanese who does not recognize this strength.

Hamada Yahei, the foreign trade captain under the Nagasaki businessman Noto Jiro, has another explanation for strength.

If the Zhuyin ship sailed directly to Fujian at that time, it would not be able to buy raw silk, because Zheng Zhilong did not allow it.The Japanese market is Zheng Zhilong's basic market. Old Zheng allowed Dutch people to sell silk, which was squeezed in by people with their own strength. Japanese businessmen like Hamada Yahei, Old Zheng didn't even put his eyelids on it.

So the hooligan Hamada came up with a "smart move": If I don't let me go to Fujian to buy silk, then I can play under the banner of the Dutch, and even use the Dutch's boat as an envoy, and the Dutch plywood boat Lao Zheng Don't dare to provoke.
So, Brother Hamada and the boss behind it, Daikan Nagasaki (Mayor) Heizang, came to Dayuan together for the last time, and then made a very formal request to Hongmao: I will use your ship and flag as envoys, not in vain, I am the renter, and I will entrust you with my own boat, so you should feel at ease now, right?

Yes, you read that right, Hamada Yahei was so self-confident in history, and made such a ridiculous request to the Dutch.

The weak chicken said to the wolf who was worried about the raw silk every day: I have some raw silk in the tiger's land. Now I will borrow your wolf skin and use it. When I get it back, I will give you some skin rental fee. That's probably what it means.

Can Dutch hooligans stand it?Of course not.The Dutch, who originally planned to exclude all Japanese, started a series of actions against Brother Hamada and Japanese businessmen: refusing to charter ships, prohibiting Japanese from going to Fujian, refusing to meet Nagasaki Daiguan, and most ruthlessly, collecting taxes, Begin to collect eleven taxes in Dayuan.

The Dutch have a lot of large-scale trade in Nagasaki every year, and the Japanese have never collected taxes. Now, in front of the mayor of Nagasaki, they are collecting [-]% of the Japanese tax.The hooligans in the Netherlands probably think that it is natural for the officials to collect taxes and Nagasaki not to pay taxes. Maybe God is like this, so his people did it.

The above is the origin of the trade dispute between Japan and the Netherlands: funny demands met funny responses, hooligans met hooligans, the actions of both sides were so rude and direct, without any consideration of the rationality and consequences of the means, in short, this is how it happened.

What made Hamada Yahei come up with such a rogue request?The loss of morality or the distortion of human nature? .In fact, it is not people but the market that stands behind Hamada faintly to support him.

The huge amount of trade that the Dutch generate in Nagasaki every year is the confidence that the weak chicken Hamada can be so arrogant.The boss of Hamada Yahei is the businessman Noto Jiro, and Noto's good friend is Nagasaki Daikan Suji Hiizo, and who is the boss of Suji Hiizo?Shogun.

The skyline has already been opened.

The Dutch will soon pay for their hooliganism: Hamada, a weak-looking old hooligan with an antenna in his forehead.

In 1626, the last mayor of Heizang, the mayor, was forced to spend the winter in Daizu because he was neglected by the Dutch. After returning to Japan with hatred in the second year, he began to order a blockade of Dutch merchants and trade. In short, The mayor returned the humiliation that the senior officials received backhandedly.

Only then did the Dutch wake up like a dream: it turns out that the mayor and tax collectors who were in charge of other people did not forget after they went back?Grass, the Japanese are too rogue, so send envoys to ease the relationship!

Therefore, Mr. Peter Nuiz, the newly-appointed third chief of the Grand Commissioner, hurried to Japan within a few days after arriving in the Grand Commissioner from Batavia.Before going to Japan, the only hooligan thing he did in Dayuan was to fool Hamada Yahei, pretending to agree to charter a boat to him, and after he stabilized Hamada, he rushed to Japan to ease the relationship.Afterwards, Hamada was shirked by the Dutch who stayed behind. In short, they wanted the boat and nothing else.

Mr. Nuiz started from the senior officials, and found the hooligan Hamada brother who had been fooled, so he also fooled 16 aborigines from the local area, and rushed to Japan for revenge.At this time, Nuiz came to Japan, thinking with his heels, he knew that he would not be received by the general; at the same time, Hamada, with an antenna on his forehead, passed the matchmaking of Nagasaki Daiguan, and swaggered into the shogunate with 16 natives , the indigenous team under the banner of "returning to the stream and offering soil" not only met the general, but also received gifts.

Therefore, Brother Hamada's hooliganism is backed by the endorsement of the entire official and business class in Japan. It is a fierce game between small distributors relying on their familiarity with the territory and big distributors.

In real history, Nuyz has never been received by the general, so he returned to the general in December 1627.At this time, the Dutch business system in Nagasaki was in a dangerously frozen state.

And in this plane, when he returns to Dayuan, he will find that the business hall has been occupied by time travelers. Of course, this is a good thing for him, and he will not be kidnapped in the future. Unfortunately, only the time travelers know about this. , Mr. Nuiz is not clear.
