On the ocean to the east of Japan, ten large fortune ships were traveling along the wind and water at extremely fast speeds.
On the ¡®Taishan¡¯, Du Mingen took out the calendar and crossed out a day on the calendar again.
¡°It¡¯s been a full month since we left Daming, and today happens to be the sixth day of July.¡±
Du Mingen counted the days he crossed out, took out the map again, and compared and calculated carefully.
"We will arrive at the Guanzhong area of ??Japan tomorrow afternoon."
Du Mingen looked at the map of the Japanese country carefully. Before coming, he had already learned more about the situation in the Japanese country from various channels.
The Japanese country was currently in the Warring States Period. Since the Onin Rebellion more than thirty years ago, the shogunate had completely lost control of the various local daimyo, and daimyo had risen one after another.
Of course, this was still the early days of the Warring States Period, and the Muromachi shogunate still had great control and influence over the Japanese state, and even repeatedly tried to restore its previous influence.
Only a few decades later, after the daimyo from various places conquered and annexed each other, some extremely powerful daimyo were born, and this set off the climax of the Warring States Period.
The rise and fall of heroes in troubled times such as Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu, etc. staged the most exciting period in the history of Japan.
Of course, these are all things for later. At this time, Du Mingen just knew that the Japanese country was relatively chaotic now. The Muromachi shogunate's control over various parts of the Japanese country was greatly reduced due to the Onin Rebellion, and the famous names in various places were constantly rising.
The war between the daimyo and the daimyo, the war between the daimyo and the Muromachi shogunate, in short, the war continued.
On the afternoon of the next day, on the sea of ??Hyogo no Tsu (later Kobe, which was subordinate to Harima Kingdom during the Warring States Period. During the Warring States Period, there were 66 Japanese countries, and in many cases a place as big as a county was a country), Du Mingen led the Ten large fortune ships finally arrived here.
Hyogo-no-tsu was the largest distribution center for Japanese goods and materials in this era. It was very close to the Kyoto area, the core of the Japanese country. At this time, it was still under the control of the Muromachi shogunate.
At the port of Hyogo-no-tsu, a Japanese man saw ten daifuku ships on the sea. His eyes widened immediately and he couldn't help shouting loudly: "Ships, such big ships~"
Soon, Akamatsumaru, an official from the Harima Kingdom in Hyogo-no-tsu, hurried to the port with a large group of samurai.
Akamatsu Maru is a member of the Akamatsu family, and the Akamatsu family is the actual ruler of the Harima Kingdom. Hyogozu is also the most important industry of the Akamatsu family.
This place belongs to the Seto Inland Sea and the core Kyoto area. It belongs to the Kanzhong Plain of the Japanese country. Its geographical location is extremely important. In addition, Hyogo-jin is the largest port and material distribution center in the Japanese country. The tax collected here every year is the Akamatsu family's. important financial source.
Now there are ten large ships that have never been seen before appearing on the sea, and they are speeding towards Hyogo no Tsu, which makes Akamatsumaru highly vigilant.
Now is not the past. Now the Muromachi shogunate's rule is weakened, and its influence and control over various places has been greatly reduced. The Ming dynasties in various places are constantly conquering each other. The internal affairs of each daimyo are also fighting for power. Retainers are trying to seize the family owner's property, and samurai are assassinating family governors. Waiting happens all the time.
This made Akamatsumaru have to be on high alert, fearing that the ten ships were hostile to the Ming Dynasty.
¡°I have never seen such a big ship before.¡±
Akamatsumaru looked at the ten daifuku ships on the sea and was deeply shocked. At this time, there were not only daifuku ships on the sea, but also some Japanese ships. Compared with the daifuku ships, these ships seemed very small. Just like a child's toy.
"Where did it come from?"
Akamatsumaru frowned, and then said to the people around him: "Do any of you know about this kind of big ship?"
"Sir, these ships should not be from our Japanese country. They are most likely ships from the Ming Dynasty. Look at the flag on the ship. It should be the dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty."
Beside Akamatsumaru, Kamigetsu Ichiro thought for a while and said, the Kamigetsu family is a family under the Akamatsu family. They are mainly responsible for managing Kamigetsu City for the Akamatsu family. Hyogo Rizu is very close to Kamigetsu Castle.
"The Ming Dynasty's ship?"
When Akamatsumaru heard this, he was slightly surprised. Then he opened his eyes and looked carefully at the flags flying on the ship. The bright yellow dragon flag did not seem to be the color or flag that the Japanese family liked to use.
"Yes, it is a ship from the Ming Dynasty. This kind of ship should be called a blessing ship. We used to have a blessing ship from the Ming Dynasty here, but big ones like thisWe have never seen many large ships, and ten large ships at one time. "
"Ichiro Shangzuki nodded and said. He is relatively old, and he still vaguely remembers seeing the Ming Dynasty's lucky ship once before.
Hearing Kamizuki Ichiro¡¯s words, Akamatsumaru was slightly relieved. As long as it wasn¡¯t another daimyo¡¯s ship, it would be easy, and he wouldn¡¯t have to worry about being attacked.
"Why do you think this Ming Dynasty ship came to our country with such force and mobilization of troops?"
Akamatsumaru thought for a while and asked again.
"I don't know about that. The Ming Dynasty is a superior country. It has thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and abundant resources and people. Naturally, it cannot be compared with our Japanese country."
Ichiro shook his head slightly and said that he knew more about the Ming Dynasty from books. He had never been to the Ming Dynasty or met any Ming Dynasty people.
Hearing what Ichiro Kamizuki said, Akamatsumaru had no objection, because it was a fact. In the eyes of the surrounding countries, the Ming Dynasty in this era was the country, and it was an existence that needed to be looked up to.
While the two were talking, a small boat quickly rowed back to the port, found Akamatsumaru and said: "Sir, these ten ships are from the Ming Dynasty's fleet. They are here to do business. They hope to be with us. Buy and sell goods and replenish supplies.¡±
"It turned out to be a merchant ship. I thought it was an envoy ship from the Ming Dynasty."
When Ichiro Shangzuki heard this, he immediately frowned. It was a bit abnormal that such a large fleet was just a merchant ship. However, he soon shook his head slightly. The Ming Dynasty was different from the Japanese country. The country was powerful and powerful. There are just a few large ships, nothing to be surprised about.
Soon, as the ship got closer and closer to the port, Akamatsumaru and others were able to clearly see everything on the ship. As for Du Mingen and others on the ship, naturally they had already used telescopes to see everything clearly in the port. Chu.
"The hair of these Japanese people is too ugly, right?"
Du Mingen used a telescope to look at Akamatsumaru and others in the port. Akamatsumaru and others' heads were shaved in the middle, with hair on both sides. They had a white skull. This was Tsukiyotou and Tangluntou. It is said that they looked like this. The head was good for warriors to fight, so it gradually became popular in the Japanese country.
"Besides, these Japanese people are too short."
In addition to this eye-catching hairstyle, Du Mingen also soon discovered that the Japanese people are really very short. Not only are they short, but the houses in the port are also very short.
Du Mingen smiled and put down the telescope in his hand. Being able to see endless countries and the world beyond the Ming Dynasty was the reason why he was willing to give up his comfortable life.
Now that I have come to Japan, I have seen Japanese people and buildings that are completely different from those in the Ming Dynasty. Du Mingen is also looking forward to experiencing the customs and customs of Japan. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
