- "Since His Highness has said so, the villain will naturally not obey."
After Yaris reacted, he quickly agreed to the request.
It¡¯s not like he just stopped helping Zheng Zhilong. That¡¯s not a big deal.
¡°Anyway, they have obtained Zhao Hongyu¡¯s warrant, and after settling the matter here in Japan, they will immediately set off back to Europe.
In the future, the focus will be on Europe, America and Africa.
After all, it takes a long time to return to Europe from the East, and the validity period of the warrant is only one year.
How much profit you can make in this year depends on you.
Yaris thinks very clearly.
Since he will no longer hang out with Dongfang, he will of course be content with Zheng Zhilong.
Compared with the benefits that the Song Empire could bring to him, Zheng Zhilong¡¯s benefits were simply too trivial.
Yaris has weighed the gains and losses in a very short period of time.
"Of course, if you can help Li Xiang attack Zheng Zhilong, then I can't thank you enough. You don't need to deal with the Japanese here. I only have this small request."
Helping Li Xiang to attack Zheng Zhilong is nothing.
Although Zheng Zhilong is a big pirate in the East, Portugal can't compete with them with their own strength, but it will be different if Li Xiang is added.
"No problem at all, Your Highness."
It hurts Yaris to agree.
"But we need an introducer. After all, we only fought with Li Xiang some time ago, so we are worried that Li Xiang will not believe us."
At the same time, Yaris also made a small request of its own.
Zhao Hongyu nodded, knowing that what Yaris said was also true.
"Let Liu Dashen go. I think with him here, Li Xiang should be able to accept it. At the same time, send some people to send the Dutch warships and the Spanish warships over. Even if I give him What a great gift.¡±
Zhao Hongyu turned his head and said to Master Wang.
Mrs. Wang had a grateful look on her face. It would be a lie to say that he was not touched.
It is really remarkable that the prince of a country can do this.
What is your identity?
Mrs. Wang is very clear about that.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, the little old man will definitely tell Liu Dashen and fulfill His Highness's instructions."
Of course Mrs. Wang understands why the Crown Prince is so interested in Li Xiang.
You are on one side. But most of them want to take advantage of Li Xiang's relationship in the Ming Dynasty.
¡°After all, the prince¡¯s plan is to immigrate from the Ming Dynasty, so this plan must have the support of powerful bosses in the local area and in the court.
"If you don't deal with those people, as long as their mouth is crooked, then you won't be able to accomplish anything.
This point can be imagined by thinking about it with your buttocks.
The situation over there in the Ming Dynasty. But isn¡¯t that what it is?
Zhao Hongyu nodded. After he had already discussed this matter with Portugal and they agreed, Zhao Hongyu had nothing to worry about.
The Dutch warships plus the Spanish warships, I think Li Xiang will definitely not refuse.
Now he is at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Zheng Zhilong, and has lost a lot of men and ships.
therefore. Sending these warships to him by myself was really like giving someone timely help.
Therefore, Li Xiang should not refuse his kindness.
"If this guy doesn't know what's going on, then I will definitely let him die badly.
But if you think about it, someone who can achieve such a status as a pirate leader shouldn't be so ignorant.
¡°Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t be able to achieve such a status.
Zhao Hongyu has great confidence in using Li Xiang¡¯s relationship.
The Portuguese, led by the genetic guards, withdrew from the tent. Headed to the port to retrieve their warship.
Now, only a group of merchants from the Ming Dynasty are left in the big account.
It was only at this time that Zhao Hongyu set his sights on them, and after looking at them carefully, he said: "Don't be surprised, don't you know that you are from the Ming Dynasty?"
Xu Yan tidied his clothes, walked out, cupped his fists and saluted, and replied: "Your Highness's guess is good."We are all from the Ming Dynasty. Our surname is Xu and our given name is Yan. Our courtesy name is Boyuan. I have met His Highness the Crown Prince. "
As Xu Yan saluted, the Ming Dynasty businessmen behind him also followed suit.
Zhao Hongyu smiled and nodded, stretched out his right hand and raised it slightly.
"You don't need to be so polite. In fact, we are also from the Yanhuang ethnic group. Seriously speaking, we are also of the Miaohong origin."
In fact, Xu Yan and the others already knew about the origins of Zhao Hongyu and the others.
Earlier, the Portuguese Yaris told them this in detail in order to show off.
However, in order to cooperate with Zhao Hongyu and leave a good impression on him, Xu Yan still pretended to be ignorant and curious, and asked with a questioning look on his face: "I don't know how to interpret your highness's words?"
hehe!
Zhao Hongyu smiled, and then looked at each other with Mrs. Wang.
"Although we live overseas, we have never dared to forget the land of our ancestors. In fact, we are the survivors of the Zhao and Song Dynasties hundreds of years ago."
Hiss!
Indeed!
Xu Yan had a shocked expression on his face. If he were in the modern world, he would definitely be a movie king-level actor.
Zhao Hongyu smiled and nodded and said: "It's a pity that the Mongols forced us to go overseas and far away from our homeland." When talking about this matter, Zhao Hongyu also looked sad for a while, as if he was remembering the past of his ancestors. .
"This is a coincidence. I didn't expect that we have the same origin. The prince's ancestors were able to settle down in a foreign country and conquer a large territory. I guess they were very brave people."
"If you don't shoot flattery at this time, when will you shoot it? Xu Yan is not a fool."
"These are all past events, so don't mention them." Zhao Hongyu waved his hands as if he didn't care, "I wonder why you came to my camp?"
I was just asking you to ask.
When Xu Yan heard this, he felt happy.
However, nothing showed on his face.
"We heard that the Portuguese Yaris mentioned His Highness before, so we wanted to come and take a look. Moreover, Yaris got some products from your country, and we mainly wanted to come and talk to His Highness. Regarding certain products. trade issues."
Xu Yan had been looking down for a long time just now, and he already almost knew the preferences of His Highness.
?Speak directly and don¡¯t like to beat around the bush.
???????????????????????????????????????? Then I don¡¯t have to make insinuations, so as not to offend His Highness.
As for whether they are the surviving members of the Zhao Song Dynasty or something like that, it actually has nothing to do with them.
"Oh, that's it. So what kind of goods do you want to trade? Our Song Empire has a lot of goods."
Zhao Hongyu also pretended to be ignorant of the world, and with his youthful look on his face, he was able to scare many people.
It¡¯s just that Xu Yan saw what he had just done with the Dutch and his conversation with the Portuguese. So how could Xu Yan peep at him again.
¡°Hmph, this His Highness is really extraordinary, he even knows how to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger.
¡°But this is not surprising at all, after all, they are the Chinese ethnic group of the Zhao Song Dynasty.
Xu Yan thought to himself.
¡°The commodities that the Portuguese Yaris shipped to Japan include sugar, shampoo, shower gel, thirteen incense and chicken essence. These commodities are all the villains hope to do business with your country.¡±
Xu Yan named a long list of product names.
hehe!
Zhao Hongyu smiled after hearing this.
When Zhao Hongyu smiled like this, Xu Yan suddenly felt a little uneasy.
He didn¡¯t know why Zhao Hongyu was laughing, but didn¡¯t he say too much?
Indeed, those are all good things, maybe Zhao Song doesn¡¯t produce much.
¡°And Yaris also said just now that the output of most goods in the Zhao and Song Empire was limited.
Even those merchants in Europe can buy it every time they go to do trade. It's just a little bit.
No matter how much it is, they won¡¯t sell it.
Just when Xu Yan was feeling uneasy and wondering if he should change his words, Zhao Hongyu finally spoke.
"You can get some of the goods you need, but the Americas are too far away from the Ming Dynasty. Basically, just one visit requires an eight-month voyage, and there are a lot of dangers involved. So I don't know Do you want to go to America or let us transport the goods?. "
Zhao Hongyu blinked and asked.
My mother is so far away.
Hearing what Zhao Hongyu said, Xu Yan took a breath of air.
He didn't expect it at all. There is still such a problem here.
An eight-month voyage would cost my life.
The sea is different from the land. Anything can happen on the sea.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
What¡¯s more important is that today¡¯s Ming Dynasty ships are basically offshore ships and cannot carry out ocean voyages at all.
Not only those from the Ming Dynasty, but also the ships from Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia and other countries were basically unable to sail across the ocean.
Only those Westerners who had sea ships could carry out such voyages.
Eight months, it takes a year and a half to come and go.
There are countless winds and waves, pirates, and other dangers to be encountered.
well!
"Your Highness, to be honest, our Ming Dynasty ships are engaged in long-sea voyages. Therefore, we can only purchase the empire's goods nearby. In other words, as soon as your Highness's goods arrive at the Ming Seaport, we are willing to buy them all and pay cash. ."
Fortunately, Zhao Hongyu left some room for what he said just now, giving Xu Yan and the others a glimmer of hope.
Since picking up the goods in person for huge profits doesn¡¯t work, then just become a second-rate dealer.
"Send it to the Ming Dynasty? It's not impossible, but there are still some problems."
Zhao Hongyu thought about it and felt that this thing can be done, and it has many benefits.
Because when immigration starts, the ships will come to Daming.
If you can carry a shipload of goods when you arrive, there will be no loss.
And, you can also take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.
However, there is still a problem that needs to be solved, that is, the Ming Dynasty prohibited trade with foreign countries, so it was impossible for the merchant ships of the Zhao and Song Empire to land at the Ming Dynasty seaport.
So where will the goods be unloaded?
At the same time, how to load the refugees from the Ming Dynasty on ships needs to be solved.
It is precisely because of this relationship that Zhao Hongyu will cause trouble and trouble in Japan.
Because he needed to hurt the Japanese and then force the shogunate to give him a territory.
With this territory, he can accept the refugees.
The original plan was to use pirates.
However, it would be great if these businessmen were willing to help.
In short, the more people who are willing to do this, the better.
??The backgrounds behind the Ming Dynasty people who are able to engage in maritime trade these days are not simple.
"And the bosses of these people only care about money. As long as they have money, there is nothing they can't do.
Zhao Hongyu thought of this in a short period of time, so he was kind to Xu Yan.
"I don't know what your Highness is worried about. You might as well tell us and we will look into the details. Although we are all businessmen, our backers are extraordinary."
Zhao Hongyu and Master Wang looked at each other, and he saw a look of agreement in Master Wang's eyes, and then turned around and said: "I heard that the Ming Dynasty prohibited trade with foreign countries, so we have to figure out how to allow merchant ships to dock. What? If there is no place to dock, where will the cargo be unloaded?"
Zhao Hongyu¡¯s worry is not unreasonable.
Hearing what Zhao Hongyu said, Xu Yan and others also became serious.
Yes, the imperial court has regulations in this regard and does not allow trade with foreign countries.
Although they can do trade now, these are actually illegal.
?According to the words of later generations, in fact, what they did to find a business was smuggling.
"It's just that because their backers and even their bosses and masterminds are nobles, the court can't do anything about them.
¡°However, they were just doing it secretly and did not openly confront the court.
"But if the Song Empire's goods were shipped to coastal ports, it would be obvious.
Isn¡¯t this going against the imperial court?
When the time comes for the court to pursue him, they will not be able to bear it.
In short, in Ming Dynasty, although what they did is already known to the world, but generally speaking, they are still behind the scenes.
The imperial courtThe emperor also knew it, but after all, he just turned a blind eye to save face.
At the same time, those distinguished officials also knew how to keep a low profile and did not do anything too outrageous.
But if everything is put on the table, wouldn¡¯t it be a naked slap in the emperor¡¯s face?
"Besides, the emperor has said many times to open the sea, but he has been stopped by officials and nobles.
"But the emperor can't open the sea to make money, but these noble officials are making huge profits, and the emperor feels uncomfortable.
¡°As long as a suitable excuse is found for the emperor, then this matter
After Xu Yan and others discussed it, they felt that this matter was really tricky.
At this time, under the instruction of Zhao Hongyu, Master Wang coughed and said, "Everyone, I have a way to solve this problem."
When Xu Yan and others heard this, they immediately looked over with bright eyes. To be continued.
