Chapter 67 Triumph
101 ship, in the head coach's restaurant on the stern.
At the end of the banquet, Qiaoqiao brought the dessert with Jinling flavor. The sugar sprinkled on it made the eyes of two merchants with keen sense of smell lit up. After they understood that this thing was unique to Jiangnan Group, they hurriedly asked if they could entrust the Danluo Chamber of Commerce to purchase the goods.
Mr. Zhao readily agreed. In fact, if they don’t need to say that Zhao Hao would dump sugar into Japan and even the world. It was his unremitting pursuit for many years that both the warriors and the knights had diabetes.
I hope that insulin can be developed by then, so that I can make another profit.
"The last thing is to secretly support the shogunate." Mr. Zhao finally ordered: "In addition, I have special feelings for the monk. If Mr. Nobunaga takes action against Ishiyama Honanji in the future, you must do your best to help Xianru while protecting yourself."
Starting next year, because the conflict between Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga was made public, the first Nobunaga encirclement will be launched. Mr. Zhao still has to hold on to the command tower of Ishiyama Honanji, which is the commander tower that fights the devil king, should not affect the effectiveness of the encirclement due to his own attack on the Mori family.
"Hi." The two of them responded in a deep voice. Sakai City had a deep connection with the shogunate and always had a strong relationship with the shogunate, so it was a forced one to commit to Oda Nobunaga. They did not dare to support the two openly, but it was naturally inevitable to do some small moves. Now seeing that Mr. Zhao had the same position as them, he could finally do something more extraordinary...
~~
Mr. Zhao was about to leave soon, and people who wanted to see him came in a crowd. When the two of them said goodbye and left, the guards reported that Father Louis had been waiting for a long time.
Zhao Hao took a deep breath tiredly and saw that the afternoon sun was warm, so he asked the guard to set up tables and chairs on the deck and invited the priest to have tea.
After a simple greeting, the priest reported to Zhao Hao that they had sent messengers to Macau, but they had to go back and forth for at least one month. It is estimated that Governor Domingo would not make a decision soon, and he would receive a reply at about the end of the year as soon as possible.
"It's okay, in order to save time, my representative will go to Guangzhou to have a face-to-face conversation with him." Zhao Hao said lightly: "I believe that he will realize my kindness more clearly there."
"That's good, that's good. Our Jesus will do our best to help the young master make this happen." Father Louis picked up the teacup and sipped a sip of black tea. He felt that it was not strong enough, so he added a large spoon of white sugar. I heard that this thing was very expensive, so he felt like he was making money.
"In addition, this time I came here, I also wanted to ask my son to ask for instructions. After the spring of next year, can I send missionaries to the Ming Dynasty to preach?"
"I have to go to the public after returning to China, Honglu Temple, Ministry of Rites, Cabinet, and the emperor, and ask for instructions one by one." Mr. Zhao held a teacup and skillfully whispered Tai Chi, saying, "Oh, my Ming Dynasty bureaucracy has killed people."
"That's it..." Father Louis did not doubt it. The Jesus had touched nails outside the Ming Gate for countless times, so he naturally knew the wariness of Ming officials towards missionary missions by foreigners. It was rare that there was a Ming Governor like Mr. Zhao who did not reject the alchemy... In the eyes of missionaries, Mr. Zhao's official position should be similar to that of the overseas governor of Portugal... Of course, they must firmly grasp it.
"How long will it take?"
"It's not easy to say." Zhao Hao frowned and sighed, "Inefficiency is a common problem in the civil service system. I have a list of limericks saying that this matter is 'the memorials are handed over and over, and the officials are criticizing it; the yamen is turning around, but the problem is still where it comes from'... I don't understand? Then forget it, anyway, you know, it's not surprising that it's enough to be stuck in any link for half a year."
As he said that, he comforted the priest and said, "Anyway, I will try my best to urge you, and you will be patient. I have been waiting for so many years, but I can't wait now?"
"Didn't this see hope?" Father Louis smiled embarrassedly. The Chezhi Danism entering the Ming Dynasty, the Far East China Kingdom, would greatly reduce the difficulty of their mission in Southeast Asia. If they could get the endorsement of Ming officials, it would completely make up for the serious shortage of Portugal's troops in Southeast Asia and their very limited deterrence.
"Then you must be patient." Zhao Hao smiled and said, "You have not been able to enter the Ming Dynasty for decades. You should know that there is a lot of resistance to this matter. I must also plan carefully, first give enough foreplay and lubrication, slowly test it, and strive for success. Otherwise, if you fail this time, you will have to wait a few more years before you can try again."
"I understand, we will no longer urge the young master, you will seize the time yourself." Father Louis then settled in the second place and said: "I heard that Jeju... Oh no, Danluo Island, the young master has the final say?"
"You can't say that, it is the land of the Ming vassal state, and it is under the jurisdiction of the Li Dynasty's civil and military." Zhao Hao smiled and looked at Father Louis with a smile. He knew that they would not miss any opportunity to preach like stinky flies. "The priests are from Europe, and they should know that the people of the vassals are not my people, right?"
"I understand." Father Louis's heart sank and thought to himself, could he not even be able to Danluo Island?
"The priest wants to go there to preach?" Mr. Zhao asked on his own initiative.
"Yeah." Father Louis nodded and said, "The Li Dynasty followed the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was not open to us, and they kept keeping us out. They could only count on the protector, the young master."
"Okay." Zhao Hao seemed to have made up his mind: "Then I will turn around and tell the people of Li Dynasty, and you can send someone over after the New Year."
"Oh, praise the Lord! Thank you, Young Master!" Father Louis was ecstatic and quickly got up and bowed while drawing a cross. The Li Dynasty was also a populous country in the Far East. If he could use Danluo Island as a wedge to take down the Korean Peninsula, his achievements would be enough to be sacred.
Father St. Louis, wow! Thinking about it makes people feel like they are dripping wax...
"But I have a condition." Mr. Zhao said with a smile.
"Please speak, young master." The priest hurriedly wiped off his saliva and listened attentively.
"You must swear to God that you must never let artillery, artillery technology and artillery craftsmen flow to Japan." Zhao Hao said coldly: "I also swear here that as long as a cannon appears in Japan, not only will our previous agreement be invalidated, I will also drive the Chezhi Dan Cult from Japan. You know I can do it!"
"Oh, my God..." The priest suddenly had a sweaty hair. Mr. Zhao was so amazing. He just agreed before he came to hire a cannon craftsman. Why did he turn around and let Mr. Zhao knock on him?
Zhao Hao didn't know about his** deal with Lao Wang? It was just to prevent the appearance of the first Japanese gunman.
"Okay, I swear to God." Father Louis only took a few seconds to figure out which one is more important and threw the promise of Lao Wang out of the sky.
"Believe me Father, this is the wisest choice in the long run." Zhao Hao raised his teacup and signaled to him slightly: "Without the advantage of cannons, the Ming Dynasty is still the Ming Dynasty, but can you still gain a foothold in Asia?"
"Yes, the young master said." Father Louis wiped his sweat, and his little guilt towards Lao Wang quickly disappeared.
~~
Three days later, the Maori family and the Otomo family also reached an agreement. The Maori family recognized the Otomo family's rule over Kyushu by ensuring that they would never infringe on Kyushu and never colluded with Kyushu Daiming, and handed over the Tachibana and Monji Castle to compensate the Otomo family for 100,000 yuan in copper coins.
This is where Maori Yuan was very scheming. After he signed a treaty with the Ming people, the Ming people returned home and rushed to celebrate the New Year. This forced Lao Wang to sign a ceasefire agreement quickly. Otherwise, as soon as the Ming fleet left, the Indo Island navy could immediately return to the Guanmen Strait... It is true that the Maori family gave up the navy, but the Indo Island navy was just an ally of the Maori family and was not bound by the Treaty of Shimonoseki.
The 50,000 troops of the Maori family are still stationed on the other side and have not driven away. When the time comes, they will fight back to Kitakyushu, and who will not win or lose!
Besides, the Otomo family is profitable. Without the Maori family making trouble behind the scenes, he can finally get rid of the fat former bear.
Now Lao Wang is full of desire to beat Xiao Xiongxiong! He signed the agreement happily.
After the appointment was completed, the Otomo family immediately lifted the siege of the two cities. Yoshikawa and Kobayakawa led the 3,000 defenders and 50,000 civilians in the castle, and returned to the Maori territory through the newly built pontoon bridge.
On the same day, Rikashan City also opened the city to surrender, and the 1,000 Maori Army and the 5,000 troops of the Qiuyue Wenzong were also retreated to Zhou Fang.
In the late of the same month, Takahashi Kanjue, who completely lost his fighting spirit due to the retreat of the Maori army, surrendered, and was confiscated by Solin and moved to Toyomae Kokura. At this point, the Kitakyushu rebellion, which was invaded by the Maori army, was completely quelled!
As the duel of the two heroes ended with the Otomo family's complete victory, Zong Lin built the largest territory of the Otomo family - the leader of Fengfeng, Fenghou, Buying, Buying, Feihou, Feihou and Yiyu half of the country ushered in the most prosperous era!
This made Zong Lin feel that his hero was not suffering from the loss in front of him. He bowed his head to Mr. Zhao and signed the "Dabit Treaty". He was really wise.
However, there was another voice in his heart shouting. Even if Mr. Zhao didn’t intervene, the winner of this battle should have been me!
So after sending away the Ming Dynasty fleet at Mensi Port with the warmest ceremony, his greatest feeling was that he felt relieved rather than reluctant to leave.
Seeing Mr. Zhao and his fleet slowly disappearing from the sea level, Lao Wang turned around and smiled at Daoxue, "Let's go back and see our lovely Chiyo! After the New Year, we will clean up the Ryuzao Temple house!"
"Hi." Daoxue responded and took out the white jade Guanyin given by Mr. Zhao from her sleeve, and her longing for her daughter was flooded with disaster.
~~
The warship slowly sailed away from the Guanmen Strait.
Amid the cheerful singing of triumphants of the soldiers, Mr. Zhao and his nephew stood in the stern with a relaxed expression, looking at the island country that was getting farther and farther away.
"The biggest regret this time is that I didn't see Oda City..." Zhao Shizhen never forgot his uncle's first beauty in Japan.
"It will definitely be next time." Mr. Zhao looked at his persistent nephew and thought that he would come back next time. It would be almost time for Asai Nagamasa to commit suicide. Ashi took his three daughters back to his parents' home.
My eldest nephew is going to stage the series of the Vultures? It's really exciting to think about it.
Chapter completed!
