"The Ainu people will never be slaves!"

Hashita suddenly shouted at the top of his throat, and the sniper in the dark almost shot...

Mr. Zhao was also shocked and almost sprinkled on his robe.

Kim Hee-sun quickly explained that Hashita's grandfather and parents, also the previous two chiefs of the Ainu people in the east, were both killed by the Oyzaki clan by the Hongmen Banquet. Therefore, Hashita and the Ainu people in the east persevered in seeking revenge from the Japanese.

"But Ji Guang, the current head of the Oyzaki clan, is also a powerful character. He changed his father's way of fighting and using the means of pulling one faction to fight one faction, and differentiating the Ainu people." After Jin Xishan translated, he added a few more private goods: "In the opinion of a villain, even if he sells muskets to them, this Hashita is not a match for the Japanese, unless he can join forces with the Ainu people in the west to deal with the Japanese."

"Well. Just turn it over to him like that." Zhao Hao nodded. In fact, he didn't care. Who would win or lose. But the fleet of the Chamber of Commerce always had to cross the Jinqing Strait and trade to the east of the island. Not only would it take several more days of water, but the risk of being attacked would also increase greatly.

So it is better to trade in the west, so that the water police can greatly reduce the pressure, improve efficiency and reduce freight.

But after hearing this, Hashita said depressedly: "Those guys who have forgotten their righteousness have long forgotten the hatred for thousands of years. I don't know that once we are eliminated, they will not keep them."

Zhao Hao's expression moved when he heard this. This Hashita was quite brainy. He actually knew the reason why the lips were dead and the teeth were cold.

Well, you can cultivate it.

"This is simple, so it will make them unprofitable." Mr. Zhao said calmly: "Didn't you say that the Ainu people in the west can live a good life by trading with the Japanese? What if their trade is cut off?"

"Their hard days are coming." Hashita said hatefully: "They are no longer farming. They rely on hunting otters, martens and foxes, picking mountain delicacies, digging medicinal materials and selling them to people in exchange for their needs."

After a pause, he said again: "The same is true for the people on the island. They made a fortune by monopolizing trade. If trade is cut off, it will definitely be very uncomfortable."

"Okay, after a while, the water police station will replenish the troops, so we will find an excuse to block the Jinqing Strait and help our Ainu friends." Mr. Zhao stood up and said to Sharp, the director of the Zhenyuan Island Water Police Department who accompanied him to meet, "Don't let others wait too long. Do you think it will be done in the first half of the year?"

"Make sure to complete the task!" Sharp was busy. In fact, he only had one hundred people under his command, so why did he block others? However, he should set his attitude first and raise the difficulties later. Only such cadres can have a future.

Before Hashita came, he had already seen dozens of towering warships on the dock. Although he didn't understand the navy, he could also see that with the small sampans of the Liezai family, it was impossible for him to be the opponent of the Celestial Navy.

Little did they know that this powerful fleet would turn back if it showed off its might in the Jinqing Strait...

But this was enough to arouse Hashita's fighting spirit. He expressed his excitement that after he returned, he would persuade the Ainu people in the west to stop betray their souls and resist the Japanese together!

"Okay, I am determined to make a deal with you, my friend!" Mr. Zhao picked up his palm and praised him, and ordered Jin Xishan to say, "This time the armor and weapons are sold to me at a cost price! In addition, I will give him another hundred mechasin, which is the meeting gift for me!"

Hashita heard this and was moved by Wulu, saying that he would always cherish this precious friendship. The Ainu people will never betray their friends.

When Mr. Zhao heard this, he was happy and gave him two hundred thick-backed swords as a farewell gift...

The foreign tribes that Hashita had met before were either brutal Japanese or treacherous and stingy Li Dynasty merchants. Have you ever seen such a generous Celestial Lord? The glorious image of the Ming Dynasty was finally established in his heart.

~~

After the Hashita was thankful and left, Zhao Haofang told Jin Hee-sun and Sharp:

"The reason I want to see this guy is because the situation on Ainu Island is not optimistic."

"What are you referring to?" The two of them looked solemn.

"Yizaki Ji Guang." Zhao Hao said in a deep voice: "This is a powerful character who has the ability to end the war on Ainu Island."

"Can he destroy the Ainu people?" the two of them said in surprise.

"That won't be." Mr. Zhao shook his head and said, "He is just a famous retainer. He does not have the conditions to unify Ainu Island by force, regardless of ability or status. But because of this, he will use his force carefully and use his flexible wrists to achieve reconciliation with the Ainu people."

Don’t think that reconciliation between the two tribes is impossible, because in this era when national consciousness has not yet awakened, it is only necessary to have strong men with enough skills to appear, which is to do it. According to the pitiful historical memory of Ainu Island of Mr. Zhao, the current leader of the Oyzaki clan, Ji Hiroshi, is just like this.

This man changed the strategy of his father and grandparents, and used a big stick and a carrot. He eventually surrendered the Ainu people and signed the "Rules for Returning to the Barbarians and Merchants". The law stipulated that the Lizai family collected taxes from merchants from Jinqing Strait and distributed them with part of the East and West Chiefs, which was called "Rules".

Yoshiki Yoshihiro only gave some small profits, so he let the Ainu people throw hatred behind his head. Not only did he no longer take a hostile state, he even sent a archer to follow him back to the Haya to join the war... Although the honeymoon period was not long, the persecution of the Ainu people was restored to the Tokugawa shogunate. However, Mr. Zhao still tried his best to prevent this state from happening, otherwise the crucial wood business would increase dramatically.

Without the ability to directly control Ainu Island, you can only learn the big yelling stick method.

"I'm not hiding you that the next big strategy of the security zone is to go south. In a short period of time, it is impossible to replenish the water police station. It is impossible to maintain a fleet such a distance. The cost is too high, but it will not increase much profit."

"Yes, both sides of the Tsugu-Kuan Strait, including Japan's Izumi and Muro, are hard-core with vast land and sparse populations, strong combat power, and they are hard to crack without much oil and water. The cost of excessive investment is indeed not cost-effective." Sharp said deeply.

"But we still have to do what we are talking about. Otherwise, how can I keep my credit?" Zhao Hao raised his eyebrows again and said, "Before the trial fleet returns, it will cross the Jinqing Strait and show its muscles to the Japanese and Ainu people. I will order the main fleet to cruise to Zhenyuan Island in the future and cooperate with you to intimidate force. If necessary, it can bombard the city and destroy their navy!"

"Yes!" Sharp put his heart back on his stomach when he heard this and said happily: "I usually keep the account for them. When the main fleet comes, it will be enough to control the situation in the Jinqing Strait!"

"Very good, your overall situation is very good." Mr. Zhao praised and smiled, "What we want is to control the situation and ensure the stability of our wood business. As for whether this wood was sold to us by the Dong Ainu people, the Xi Ainu people, or the Japanese people, there is no difference."

"I understand." Jin Hee-sun said suddenly: "Young master asked the Japanese and Xi'annu to join the timber trade, which can not only expand the scale of logging on the island, increase the supply of goods, and prevent the timber from being cut off due to problems in the family. It can also prevent them from raising prices on the ground, which is high, which is really high!"

"Hahaha, don't pretend to be stupid and flatter here. I don't believe such a simple truth. You won't understand." Mr. Zhao laughed and scolded: "In short, one principle is to maintain balanced power on the island and prevent one from dominant. Only in this way can we trade freely with them. When we free up our hands in the future, there are also excuses to intervene in the disputes on the island!"

To put it bluntly, letting the Japanese occupy Ainu Island is not in the interests of the Jiangnan Group.

But equally, it is not in the interests of Mr. Zhao and Jiangnan Group to drive the Japanese away and monopolize Ainu Island.

Even the Japanese and Ainu reconciliation was not in line with Mr. Zhao's interests... If they didn't fight, how could they buy war materials at all costs? They tried their best to sell wood? If the three families sat together and formed a price alliance, Mr. Zhao would not be happy to raise the price of wooden prices.

Therefore, we must not only unswervingly support the national struggle of the Ainu people, but also prevent their struggle from being too successful. This tests the minds and skills of Kim Hee-sun and Sharp. It is not that easy to be a messing stick.

There may be saints who sincerely help the liberation of foreign nations, but there will definitely be interest groups who sincerely help the liberation of foreign nations. When considering problems, any country or organization will only start from its own interests...

~~

The next day, the trial fleet launched an armed parade in the Tianjinghui Strait, and conducted a large-scale live-fire exercise outside the Matsumaki Castle in Yoshihiro Oyzaki.

Oyzaki Jihiro had heard of these "devils that shrouded Kyushu". With his status and strength, he gave Otomoto Sorin and Maori Moto only these Kyushu and the powerful Western powers to carry shoes. How could he dare to provoke the terrifying Celestial fleet?

He was so scared that he quickly sent his son and his elders to sea to "reward"... in fact, it was to pay protection fees. Then, under the auspices of Mr. Zhao, he signed a friendly trade treaty with the Danluo Chamber of Commerce, allowing the other party's ships to trade in the territory of the Oyzaki clan, and gave a series of preferential treatment such as tax exemption, extraterritorial legal power, and security protection.

As expected, the truth is within the range of cannons, and it is easy to negotiate with a powerful fleet.

Then Mr. Zhao led the fleet with satisfaction and embarked on the way back.

When returning, he could no longer take the Japanese coastal route, otherwise the powerful black tide would allow Mr. Zhao to experience the pain of sailing against the current.

Therefore, the fleet had to travel southwest. After sailing slowly for several days, it finally felt the ease of the ship along the way in the waters near the Korean Peninsula.

The southward compensation flow formed by the northern black tide along the peninsula will send the fleet back to Danluo.
Chapter completed!
