Chapter 367: The power of the Han envoy

Latest website: Hirado Castle’s wharf, with cross-patterned flags erected. A dozen samurai led hundreds of light infantry to control the wharf.

The 134 merchant ships from the Eastern Han Dynasty docked at the pier, mighty, and there were 400 warships escorting, Dongdu Colonel Mi Zhu couldn't help frowning when he saw the unprecedented flag.

When he visited Hirado Castle last time, the banner of Hirado Castle Lord was not a cross pattern.

If the samurai who suddenly appeared at the pier was another force in Toyo, then the problem would be quite serious.

"You retired, this is a guest from Xuzhou. I take refuge in your Shimadzu family, but your Shimadzu family must not mess around in Hirado."

Hirado castle lord Hei Yoshimori appears and stops the Shimadzu family samurai who tried to rob the merchant ships of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The warriors of the Shimadzu clan seemed to be afraid of the great name Hiei Yoshimori, which stopped their dangerous thoughts.

Mi Zhu led a group of Xuzhou businessmen to disembark, glanced at the group of warriors of unknown origin, with arrogant eyes.

Mi Zhu is considered a modest gentleman in Xuzhou, but he still has a sense of pride in front of barbarians. He comes from a vast number of people. How can these barbarians be negligent? Who dares to provoke the foreign races of the Han Dynasty?

The Xiongnu provoked the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious and sent Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to fight to Mobei!

Wei's Joseon refused to pay tribute to the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han sent fifty thousand troops to destroy it!

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked for a BMW, but was rejected by the King of Dawan. The envoy of the Han Dynasty scolded the King of Dawan on the spot. Emperor Wu of the Han sent Li Guangli to expedition to Dawan, forcing the Dawan nobles to kill the king and seek peace from the Han Dynasty!

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the general Dou Xianyan played meritorious service and was crowned champion. The story of Ruhuo Qubing, Banchao shocked the Western Regions, and the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions would not dare to fail!

The Han Dynasty was strong and perished, and the princes of the end of Han Dynasty who inherited the style of Han Wu fought on disagreement and conquered every year!

At this time, Mi Zhu regarded himself as an envoy of the Han Dynasty. How could he be deterred by the samurai of unknown origin when he went to Dongying to preside over trade affairs?

Because of the arrogance of Mi Zhu and other officials in Xuzhou, the warriors of the Shimadzu family were somewhat restrained, and it was difficult to judge how powerful the forces behind Mi Zhu were.

Dongying people are like this. The tougher you are, the more they fear or even please you, and the weaker you are, they will push their noses on their faces.

It is a pity that they are facing officials and merchants who have the martial arts style of the Han Dynasty!

"City Lord Ping, on behalf of a great country, we are here to do business with you. Why do we face each other with swords?"

Mi Zhu asked Hirado City Lord Hei Yoshimori.

Ping Yisheng has experienced national wars and knows the terrible strength of Xuzhou Mu's strength, so he quickly pleaded guilty: "This matter is a long story..."

Ping Yoshimori invited Mi Zhu to the castle tower in Hirado Castle, and did not dare to neglect.

Mi Zhu and others held their heads high, they were not afraid of harming themselves at the fair event.

If they have an accident in Dongying, their lord will destroy the whole Dongying, avenge them, promote the power of the Han Dynasty, and imitate the story of Emperor Wu of the Han!

If you offend the envoys of the Han Dynasty, you will run the risk of being destroyed!

The samurai of the Shimadzu family looked at the Xuzhou merchant ship anchored at the Hirado Castle wharf with greed in their eyes. Every cargo of a merchant ship may be worth ten thousand taels of silver!

If this wealth can be plundered, the Shimadzu family can at least expand its army by tens of thousands, increasing the possibility of Shangluo.

But they dare not.

The alien from Dongying told the Shimadzu family that on the other side of the sea, there was a strong Han civilization, which should not be provoke.

The first thing that Dongying Yiren considered was not the Liaodong prefect who madly provokes the Han Empire like Goryeo. The first thing they considered was how to not anger the Han Empire.

Compared with foreigners, the warriors of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Warring States did not know the horror of the Han Empire, so they attempted to looting the Eastern Han merchant ships.

The sailors of the Fubo Legion who were in charge of escorting the merchant ships went ashore and confronted the Samo warriors of the Shimadzu family with crossbows.

The chief generals of the Fubo Army, Zheng Zhilong and Xu Sheng, did not arrive, but the more than a thousand navy soldiers and soldiers of the Fubo Army were still fearless. If the barbarians dare to looting the ships, they will immediately release arrows and shoot the Dongying barbarians!

This group of soldiers also had a very high martial arts spirit, and the pride of the Han Dynasty was imprinted in their bones.

Although this is Dongying, even though it may be annihilated by the continuous siege of the samurai, they have no hesitation in maintaining the dignity of the big man!

They came to trade in peace, and if the other party wanted to offend, they could only step on their bodies! And the Xuzhou Pastoral Association behind them is endless!

This is the attitude of the Han Empire in dealing with surrounding civilizations!

Chen Tang said that those who commit crimes against me will be punishable even if they are far away. This is not a cliché, but really will do it.

Even in the period of separatist rule in the late Han Dynasty, princes such as Gongsun Zan and Cao Cao could still suppress tribes such as Wuhuan, Xiongnu, and Nanman.

The Satsuma warrior saw the sailors of the Fubo Legion with their swords drawn. They were clearly on the site of Dongying, but they were invincible. They immediately stunned and left the dock under the leadership of the leading warrior.

In the castle tower of Hirado Castle, the lord Heiyoshi hosted a banquet to entertain businessmen from Xuzhou.

The usually gentle and elegant Mi Zhu is aggressive at this time, still holding on to the matter just now: "Please also Ping Chengzhu to give us Xuzhou merchants a reasonable explanation, otherwise, it will bring about the disaster of the country!"

Ping Yisheng felt the strength of the Han envoy represented by Mi Zhu and signaled Mi Zhu to calm down: "After you left Hirado Castle last time, I sent troops to fight with Otomo and Shimadzu. Unfortunately, I was defeated and was forced to surrender to Shimadzu. The Shimadzu clan is a minister. After more than five years of conquest, the Satsuma Army of the Shimadzu clan has controlled Kyushu Island and is building up strength to attack Shikoku Island or Honshu Island and compete with Oda Nobunaga for the world. I mean the world, Toei Four islands."

Ping Yisheng coughed twice and pointed out specifically to prevent misunderstanding.

Dongying's imitation of the Eastern Han civilization is too obvious.

The Eastern Han Dynasty regards the territory of the Han Empire as the world, and the Eastern Han Dynasty regards the four islands as the world.

In the Eastern Ying civilization, the daimyo corresponds to the princes, and "Shangluo" refers to the daimyo's action to invade Kyoto with troops. Luo, namely Luoyang. It is similar to holding the emperor to make the princes, or aspiring to the Central Plains in the Spring and Autumn Period.

It can be seen that Dongying is somewhat similar to the reduced version of the Eastern Han, after all, it is inevitably affected by the Han civilization.

"Are you saying that the Shimadzu family occupied Kyushu Island? Now you are just a retainer of the Shimadzu family?"

Only then did Mi Zhu's anger come down and he was forced to adapt to the changes in Dongying.

Originally, he was not a grumpy person, but was offended by the Samurai of the Shimadzu family, thinking that he was despised by barbarians, so he was furious.

After calming down, Mi Zhu formed an idea about the situation in Dongying.

Toyo has four islands, Kyushu Island, Shikoku Island, Honshu Island, and Hokkaido.

Among them, Honshu Island has the largest population, and the number of Warring States lords (lords) is also the largest. Ruthless people such as Oda Nobunaga, Takeda Shingen, and Uesugi Kenshin are also on Honshu Island.

Next is Kyushu Island. There are also a few ruthless people in Kyushu Island, such as Shimadzu and Otomo.

It is Shikoku Island again.

Finally, Hokkaido.

The princes of the Han Empire are doing their best to unify the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the great names of Dongying are desperately unifying Dongying, wanting to defeat powerful opponents, successfully go to Luo, and promulgate the order of total peace in the world to end the troubled times of the Warring States.

Kyushu Island is now basically unified by the Shimadzu family. As one of the great names of Kyushu, the player Ping Yoshimori was defeated and chose to surrender to the Shimadzu family.

As a captain of Dongdu, Mi Zhu not only conducts trade, but also shoulders the mission of exploring the situation in Dongying.

When Chu Tian was competing in the Central Plains, he peeped around from time to time. Around the Eastern Han civilization, the population of Goryeo Kingdom is less than a large state in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the population of Dongying Kingdom is between one state and two states. Compared to the Goryeo Kingdom, Chutian believed that it was more difficult to conquer the Dongying Kingdom, after all, it was separated by the sea.

Yuan Dynasty expedition to Dongying, suffered a great loss.

"Why is the Shimadzu family occupying Kyushu Island, so you can still be safe, with soldiers, horses, and cities?"

Mi Zhu didn't know enough about the affairs between Dongying Da Ming.

Heiyoshi Mori replied: “It’s very simple. If I don’t take the initiative to surrender, it will take at least two or three years for the Shimadzu family to occupy Hirado Castle. The daimyo of Honshu Island and Shikoku Island will take advantage of this. Moreover, the conquest of the daimyo here It’s not necessary to eliminate the other party, which is very different from yours."

"So it is." Mi Zhu asked again, "Now that you are a vassal of the Shimadzu family, is the trade treaty between us still valid?"

Mi Zhu and Xuzhou merchants organized a fleet to transport goods worth hundreds of thousands of taels. The profit at one time is innumerable. If you lose Hirado Castle, the trade partner, Chutian will suffer more than losing a gold mine.

Hei Yoshimori said: "Please rest assured that the trade between Tsui Prefecture and Hirado Castle is still counted. I still control the territory of Hirado. I will take care of the Satsuma Samurai. They dare not mess around."

Mi Zhu saw that Ping Yisheng intended to compromise and was satisfied.

At least Ping Yoshimori is different from the dead Samurai. As a player, Ping Yoshimori knows the difference in national power between the two sides. The name of Kyushu Island is less than the prefecture and animal husbandry level of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Ping Yisheng has heard that Chu Zimou, the great prince of the Han Empire behind Mi Zhu, already owns almost three states. That's three states!

Adding the entire Dongying four islands together, are there three states of Chu Zimou?

Ping Yisheng weighed it in his heart. He didn’t know whether Chu Zimou’s site is now large or the four islands of the East are the largest, but there is no doubt that the man behind Mi Zhu cannot be offended by the Shimadzu family in Kyushu. As a defeated, he couldn't afford it.

After Mi Zhu and the Xuzhou merchants were satisfied, Pingyi hosted a feast to entertain guests from the Eastern Han Dynasty, and also invited a singer to greet Mi Zhu and others.

"General, there is a group of Han Empire merchant ships entering Hirado City. There are at least a hundred merchant ships and the cargo is worth hundreds of thousands of taels. If we can get this cargo, our Shimadzu family is more likely to go to Los Angeles!"

The samurai who hit a wall at the pier came to Hirado Castle and saw Shimazu Iehisa, the general of the Shimadzu family who conquered Hirado Castle.

"Ping Yisheng became a minister, and even dared to trade with the Han Empire behind our backs. Every year, he gets a lot of tariffs from the trade. Others say that the Han Empire is strong. I'm going to meet them for a while."

Shimadzu put down the wine bowl, wore the armor of the current world, and broke into the castle tower.

The samurai of Hiei Yoshimori saw the fierce generals from Shimadzu's family, cold sweat broke out. Shimadzu was a 15-year-old beheaded general, a fierce general who blocked 40,000 enemy attacks with 3,000 defenders.

The wooden door was pushed open, and Shimazu Icarus led a few samurai into the banquet of Ping Yoshimori and Xuzhou merchants.

Mi Zhu and other Xuzhou businessmen's eyes fell on Shimadzu's body, unhappy.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, this was extremely rude.

Shimadzu looked at the frail Mi Zhu and the Xuzhou businessman with arrogant eyes.

"Everyone please continue."

The two big figures of Ping Yoshimori can't provoke them, so they quickly stopped the Shimadzu family and said in a low voice: "General, although I surrender to the Patriarch, Hirado Castle is my fief. You must not mess around!"

"Every year you make at least one hundred thousand taels of silver from the trade of the Han Empire. Our Shimadzu family will also divide this gold and silver."

"You..." The powerful Shimadzu family in front of Ping Yoshimori gritted their teeth, "Yes, the Shimadzu family can get 30% from it."

"Seven percent!"

"General, don't go too far!"

Ping Yoshimori is dissatisfied with Shimadzu’s strength. Shimadzu’s family wants to make 70% of foreign trade income. Ping Yoshimori’s remaining profit is pitiful, but Ping Yoshimori does not want Shimadzu to provoke war with the Eastern Han Dynasty. , Dilemma.

"The one who tried to rob our caravan at the pier, but your Excellency? Shimadzu? Who gave you the courage to rob our merchant ships of the Han Empire?"

Mi Zhu took the initiative to provoke Shimadzu for a long time, and was almost ransacked by barbarians, which made Mi Zhu worry. If the lord hadn't focused on the Central Plains, he would have urged Chu Tian to destroy Dongying.

The arrogance in the eyes of the Xuzhou businessman is no less than that of Shimazu Kajiu. To them, Dongying's fierce generals were barbarians.

Shimadzu was only eighteen years old at this time. Although Mi Zhu did not swear, he succeeded in provoking Shimadzu.

"This is Hirado. Kyushu Island is already under the control of the Shimadzu family. If the ships of the Han Empire want to trade in Hirado, they must obey!"

Shimadzu placed his left hand on the hilt of the samurai sword and spoke badly.

"Want to make the envoy of our big man obey?"

The merchants in Xuzhou were really not afraid of Shimadzu’s threat.

Just as Shimadzu had limited knowledge of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xuzhou merchants also regarded Shimadzu as the barbarians.

"Please calm down."

Ping Yisheng was extremely flustered inside, and he couldn't help it, because the two civilizations would break out of a national war with Hirado Castle as the center because they were not handled properly!

This is not the result Ping Yisheng wanted Maybe the Xuzhou merchants represented by Mi Zhu underestimated the strength of the Shimadzu family, but the Shimadzu family also underestimated the power behind Mi Zhu!

Mi Zhu and others dare to take the initiative to challenge the Shimadzu family is emboldened!

An envoy of the Han Dynasty dared to yell at the opposing king. What a big name is.

"The income from trade with Xuzhou is divided into five to five between me and the Shimadzu family."

In order to avoid war between the two civilizations, Ping Yisheng took the initiative to give up part of his own interests.

The Shimadzu family was provoked by the arrogant attitude of Mi Zhu and others for a long time. After receiving the promise from Ping Yoshimori, he pushed back the three-inch samurai sword.

"This group of barbarians dare to provoke us. When the lord unifies the Central Plains, they must instigate... No, I propose that the lord destroy the Shimadzu family and force them to reduce tariffs."

Mi Zhu and the Xuzhou businessmen present were whispering in private. As businessmen, they still wanted to lower tariffs and make more profits.
