These two are the main support for their missionary work in Kyushu. In order to make the alliance stronger, Father Louis has also been working hard to develop Zonglin to grow his hair, get baptized, and convert to Chechidan religion.
Zhao Hao arranged for these two people to appear at this time, which was obviously a naked demonstration! Warn them that they can drive the Chechidan Sect out of Kyushu at any time!
This realization made the two priests reluctant to eat, and they left half way through breakfast. They had to discuss it alone before Pinto finished eating.
As soon as the two returned to the room, Father Coelho said seriously: "Now not only Otomo Sorin, but also Don Romeo has been shaken. Our missionary career in Japan has reached the most dangerous point."
"Yes, sir." Father Louis nodded and said with deep understanding: "Now that I think about what Colonel Pinto said, it actually makes sense. We should really turn around and consider peaceful coexistence with the Ming Dynasty people."
After the Sixth Heavenly Demon King who controls Kyoto has shown clear anti-religious tendencies, the church has determined that Kyushu will be its main missionary area. We are preparing to put down our roots here and then spread to Honshu, Shikoku and other regions. That's why they paid attention to the Port of Nagasaki If the Japanese daimyo, under the instigation of Mr. Zhao, collectively opposed the Chichidan sect, then their previous efforts might be in vain.
"The power of Mr. Zhao has obviously surpassed that of the original Jinghai King, and he can be worthy of being called the Sea King of East Asia. So it is not impossible for us to return to the level of the past." As a senior member of the Jesuit Society, Coelho can still He who assesses the situation and knows how to advance or retreat. "But the premise is that we must get sufficient guarantees, including in terms of trade and missionary work."
"Yes." Father Louis nodded, and the two began to discuss the details nervously.

In that room, after breakfast, Zhao Hao, who could neither represent the Ming Dynasty, nor Otomo Zonglin, who could not represent Kyushu, signed the "Oita Treaty".
The Dayou family officially recognized the Ming Dynasty Royal Shipping Company¡¯s exclusive rights to the Japanese sea. The Dayou family and its subordinate forces gave up the navy before the twelfth lunar month of this year, and obtained the protection of the Tamna Guard Area Coast Guard at the price of one million taels of silver a year. He also paid a compensation of 500,000 taels for his previous reckless behavior. Two hundred thousand taels of it were paid in cash, and the rest was used as debt, with gold, silver, timber, and sulfur in Dayou's territory as collateral, with an annual interest of two cents and repayment within five years.
In addition to the treaty, the Otomo family was also willing to pay two hundred thousand taels in exchange for the Ming Dynasty fleet to help them send Ouchi Teruhiro across the strait.
"Okay, don't worry and go back." Zhao Hao pointed to the agreement that was still wet with ink and said: "Our group keeps its promise. Since we have promised to help you send people there, we will definitely overcome all difficulties to do it."
"There are also the Maori family's navy and the Murakami navy" Zong Lin looked at Zhao Hao eagerly and said: "In the future, we will also trouble the young master."
"Then we have to pay more." Zhao Hao frowned. Little Japan is always chattering like this, never finishing what he has to say at once.
"Then add another two hundred thousand taels." Dayou Zonglin gritted his teeth.
"Not enough." Zhao Hao picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
"Two hundred thousand taels is only enough to deal with one of them." Wang Rulong said coldly from the side: "And there are three Murakami naval forces, the Noshima family, the Raishima family, and the Inshima family, and they are the top naval forces in Japan. ! There are four prostitutes in total, you only pay one, do you want to have sex with three for free? You are so beautiful!"
"Let's do it, the price is one million taels." Zhao Hao raised a finger and said: "We will cover all the naval battles before driving the Maori army out of Kyushu."
"This" Zong Lin took out his handkerchief and wiped his sweat. If he agreed, he would have to pay three hundred thousand taels in interest alone every year, which he would not be able to pay back in eight lifetimes. He had no choice but to calm down and reveal his biggest secret in this battle: "It is true that there are three families of Murakami navy, but the young master only has to face one family in this battle."
"Oh?" Zhao Hao pretended to be confused and asked, "What do you mean?"
"First of all, because the Shima family, as the most trusted Murakami navy of the Maori family, still stays in the Seto Inland Sea to guard against sneak attacks by the Shikoku or Oda family naval forces. Therefore, the only ones who cooperate with the Maori navy are the Noshima family and the Kurushima family. .¡±
After a pause, Zong Lin said with some pride: "And I have used the huge profits from the Nanman trade to take Oh no, I have returned to Murakami Takeyoshi, the leader of the Noh Island Navy. Although the Nanman trade no longer exists, I can still trade with the Celestial Empire. ¡¡±
"It's trade with the Tamluo Chamber of Commerce." Mr. Zhao coughed and reminded him.
"Hi!" Zong Lin quickly slapped himself and said, "It's trade with the Tamna Chamber of Commerce, and the huge profits will be far greater than those from the Nanman trade. The Nohshima navy will definitely abide by its promise and backstab the Maori family at the most critical moment. "
He said with a shy smile?: "So, in fact, the young master's fleet only needs to deal with the navy family coming to the island, so is 200,000 taels enough?"
"No, no, that's not how the accounts are settled." Zhao Hao shook his head decisively: "You have to understand that things are changing all the time, and your enemies will also adjust their subordinates according to the implementation situation - Mao Liyuan is known as the Western Kingdom The most intelligent general, who can wield troops like a god, must be superior to you. There is no reason for you to follow the same steps after knowing our existence."
"That's true." Zong Lin nodded and had to admit that what Mr. Zhao said made sense.
"He must guard against the possibility that we will intervene and block the Kanmon Strait." Zhao Hao spread his hands and said: "So either withdraw from Kyushu immediately, or mobilize reinforcements. You are his old rival, what do you think he will do? Choose?"
"If we withdraw our troops, the Maori family will no longer be able to touch Kyushu for a long time." Zong Lin thought carefully: "Yuan Jiugong is already old. He was seriously ill the year before last and had to ask the general's doctor to come for treatment. . This time he took advantage of the battle between me and the Ryuzoji family to send a large army across the sea, but he did not lead the troops himself, but let his two sons lead the army. This shows that his body can no longer support the expedition. "
"So I judge that he will not give up easily this time. As an old man, he is always worried that time is running out and he will not have another chance. Even the wisest general is not exempt from this." Otherwise, the one who knows you best He must be your enemy. Zong Lin's judgment on Motori Motoji was completely correct.
Zhao Hao secretly praised him, rolled his eyes at him and said: "So Mourimoto will probably mobilize the Inijima navy to go south to help in the battle. And when the Nojima navy sees that the Inajima family is coming, they may not dare to betray the Mouri family again. Therefore. We must prepare according to the specifications to deal with the four naval forces, do you think it is reasonable?"
"It'sreasonable." Master Zong Lin, who had shot himself in the foot, wiped his sweat. Usually Lao Wang has kidney deficiency.
"So one million taels is a very real price." Zhao Hao said without hesitation: "The four of them can produce more than a thousand warships and nearly 20,000 naval troops, so I only charge you one million taels. It's simply It¡¯s just a show of friendship, okay?¡±
"Yes, yes, but I really can't take it out" Lao Wang grimaced and was about to cry.
In fact, this battle is the third stage of the punishment battle and the final decisive battle. Even if no one pays, Zhao Hao is prepared to completely annihilate the Maori Navy and the Mishima Navy!
But don¡¯t the Japanese love to provide military expenses to others? Of course Mr. Zhao wants to take advantage of it!
??~~
At this moment, Zong Huan sent an envoy to ask for an audience and sent a savior to Zong Lin - the Hakata businessman Shimai clan.
Hakata is the most important commercial city on Kyushu Island. The focus of the fight between the Mori family and the Otomo family this time - Tachibanayama Castle is the county seat of Hakata. The protracted offensive and defensive battle between the two families naturally greatly affected the Shimai family's industry and business. Therefore, the Shimai clan began to fund Otomo Sorin with money and food in order to drive the Maori family out of Hakata as soon as possible.
The two hundred thousand taels of cash that Zong Lin promised to pay to Mr. Zhao was intended to be borrowed from the Shimai clan. As soon as he saw the God of Wealth coming, he quickly begged: "Brother, help me."
The Shimai clan gave him a reassuring look, then leaned down and saluted Mr. Zhao respectfully.
Zhao Hao didn¡¯t know him, but Ma Yinglong did. He whispered in the young master¡¯s ear: ¡°It was he who went to Tamluo to mediate for Tsushima Island last time.¡±
"Oh, ten thousand taels of silver, that's too stingy." Mr. Zhao, who is known for his forgetfulness, immediately remembered the exact amount of the gift.
Ma Yinglong is so sweaty. The young master is extorting money now, and his appetite is getting bigger and bigger.
"Why do you want to see me?" Zhao Hao said to this fat sheep Oh no, the businessman said: "If you are here for the trade between Tsushima Island and Li Dynasty, then please come back. Kyushu Detective Master Ti Zonglin has ordered that the entire foreign trade of Kyushu Island will be monopolized by the Tamluo Chamber of Commerce in the future."
People do not get up early if they have no profit. The reason why the Shimai clan clan worked for Tsushima was because he opened up a trade route from Busan to Hakata via Tsushima. In addition to targeting the Portuguese, the Treaty of Oita also excluded these Japanese merchants from overseas trade.
The Shimai clan had already learned about this from Yoshioka Munehuan, so he said without changing his expression: "Since it is an agreement between the Celestial Master and Kyushu Tanti, the villain will naturally abide by it happily."
"Oh?" Zhao Hao gently put down the tea cup, looked at this neatly dressed and extraordinary-looking Japanese businessman, and asked, "Who are you?"
"The villain is here on behalf of businessmen from Hakata and Sakai City. He is willing to spend two million taels to hire the Celestial Fleet to destroy the Mishima navy!" The Shimai clan replied solemnly.
"Hiss" The whole room was shocked. Wang Rulong and Ma Yinglong were so shocked that they couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear, thinking that these Japanese people are too damn rich! This battle will earn the young master all the money needed to build Galen's ship
Zhao Hao was also startled by the Japanese businessman's super double, but he soon became normal. If Hakata is the number one commercial city in Kyushu, then Sakai City is the number one commercial city-state in Japan.
And Sakai City does not belong to any daimyo, but is a neutral autonomous city ruled by merchants. The richest businessmen in Japan gathered there, so it was not difficult to spend two million taels.
A businessman never makes a loss-making business. This statement is true everywhere. They must think that spending this money will bring greater profits, so they set this price!
