- "The Ainu will never be slaves!"
??Hashita suddenly yelled at the top of her voice, frightening the sniper in the dark and almost shooting
Mr. Zhao was also startled, and the tea almost spilled on his robe.
Jin Xishan quickly explained that Hasita¡¯s grandfather and parents, who were also the last two chiefs of the eastern Ainu people, were both killed by the Oyezaki family using the Hongmen Banquet method. That's why the Hasita and the eastern Ainu people will persevere in seeking revenge on the Japanese.
"However, Ji Guang, the current head of the Uyizaki clan, is also a powerful character. He changed his father's approach of focusing on meritorious deeds and adopted the method of pulling one faction to fight another, dividing the Ainu people." Jin Xishan finished the translation and mixed in a few more A private sentence: "In my humble opinion, even if I sell them muskets, this Hasita is no match for the Japanese unless he can unite with the Ainu people in the west to deal with the Japanese together."
"Yeah. Just turn it over to him." Zhao Hao nodded. In fact, he doesn't care who wins and who loses. However, the Chamber of Commerce's fleet always has to pass through the Tsugaru Strait to trade on the east side of the island. Not only does it have to take several days longer, but the risk of being attacked will also be greatly increased.
Therefore, it is better to trade in the west, so that the Marine Police Department can greatly reduce the pressure, and it can also improve efficiency and reduce freight.
But after hearing this, Hashita said in frustration: "Those guys who are unjust for their own benefit have long forgotten their thousand-year hatred. They don't know that once we are eliminated, they will not be left alone."
Zhao Hao¡¯s expression changed when he heard this, this Hashita is quite smart. He actually knows the meaning of lips dying and teeth cold.
¡°Well, you can cultivate it.
"This is simple, just make them unprofitable." Mr. Zhao said calmly: "Didn't you say that the Ainu people in the west lived a good life by trading with the Japanese? ?What if their trade is cut off?"
"Then their hard days are coming." Hashita said bitterly: "They no longer farm much, they only rely on hunting the furs of otters, minks, and foxes, picking mountain treasures, and digging medicinal materials to sell to Kazuto. In exchange for what you need.¡±
After a pause, he added: "The same is true for the Kazuto people on the island. They have made a fortune by monopolizing trade. It will definitely be difficult if trade is cut off."
"Well, after a while, after the Marine Police Station has replenished its troops, we will find an excuse to block the Tsugaru Strait and help our Ainu friends." Mr. Zhao stood up and said to Zhenyuan Island Water who accompanied the audience. Police Chief Sharp said: "Don't make people wait too long. Do you think it can be done in the first half of the year?"
"Promise to complete the task!" Sharp said in a hurry. In fact, he only has a hundred people under his command, so why block them? However, only those cadres who have a good attitude first and mention difficulties later can have a bright future.
Before Hashi Tower arrived, he had already seen dozens of towering warships on the pier. Although he didn't understand the navy, he could still see that the small sampans of the Oyizaki family could not be the opponent of the Chinese Navy.
¡°As everyone knows, this powerful fleet will turn back after showing off its power in the Tsugaru Strait
But this was enough to arouse Hashita¡¯s fighting spirit. He said emotionally that after he returned, he would try his best to persuade the Ainu people in the west to stop selling their souls and resist the Japanese together!
"Okay, I'm ambitious. I've made a deal with you as my friend!" Master Zhao rewarded him with his palm, and then told Jin Xishan: "Sell the armor and weapons this time to my good Wutali at the cost price! In addition, give him a gift One hundred matchlocks are considered a meeting gift for this young master!"
After hearing this, Hashita was moved and said that she would always cherish this precious friendship. The Ainu never betray their friends.
Mr. Zhao was very happy when he heard this and gave him two hundred thick-backed simple knives as a parting gift
The foreigners Hachita had seen before were either the brutal Japanese or the cunning and stingy businessmen of the Li Dynasty. How had he ever seen such a generous Celestial Lord? The glorious image of the Ming Dynasty was finally established in his mind.
??~~
After Haxita left with all his thanks, Zhao Haofang confessed to Jin Xishan and Xia Pu:
"The reason why I want to see this guy is because the situation on Ainu Island is not optimistic."
"What do you mean, Young Master?" The two of them looked solemn.
"Yoshihiro Uzaki." Zhao Hao said solemnly: "This is a powerful character who has the ability to end the war on Ainu Island."
"He can destroy the Ainu?" the two asked in surprise.
"That's not the case." Mr. Zhao shook his head and said: "He is just a retainer of the daimyo. Regardless of his ability or status, he does not have the conditions to unify Ainu Island by force. But because of this, he will use it prudently. Use force and flexibility to achieve reconciliation with the Ainu people."
Don¡¯t think that reconciliation between the two races is impossible, because in this era when national consciousness has not yet awakened, it can be achieved as long as a strong man with sufficient skills appears. According to Zhao Gongzi's pitiful historical memories of Ainu Island, the current head of the Uyizaki clan, Uyizaki Yoshihiro, happens to be such a person.
This man changed the strategy of his father and ancestors, using a stick in one hand and a carrot in the other. He finally surrendered to the Ainu people and signed the "Regulations on the Exchange of Yi and Di Trade Ships" with them "magnanimously". The law stipulates that the Uyizaki clan collects taxes from merchants traveling to and from the Tsugaru Strait and distributes part of it to the east and west chiefs, called "barbarians".
Uyizaki Yoshihiro just made some small profits, and he made the Ainu put their hatred behind them. Not only did they no longer adopt a hostile state, they even sent archers to follow him back to Deyu to join the war Although this honeymoon period did not last long. , the Tokugawa shogunate resumed the persecution of the Ainu people. But Mr. Zhao must still try his best to prevent this situation from happening, otherwise the vital timber business will suddenly increase in variables.
Without the ability to directly control Ainu Island, the only thing we can do is learn the big trick of stirring up trouble.
"I will tell you that the next big strategy for the garrison is to go south. In a short time, it is impossible to replenish the force of the Marine Police Station. It is also impossible to maintain a fleet so far away. The cost is too high. , but it won¡¯t increase much revenue.¡±
"Yes, both sides of the Tsugaru Strait, including Japan's Dewa and Mutsu, are vast and sparsely populated, with strong combat capabilities. They are difficult to exploit with little oil and water. It is really not worthwhile to invest too much cost." Sharp understands the righteousness. road.
"But we still have to do what we said. Otherwise, where will my credibility be?" Zhao Hao raised his eyebrows again and said, "Before the trial fleet returns, it will cross the Tsugaru Strait once and ask the Japanese and Ainu Show your muscles. I will order the main fleet to cruise to Zhenyuan Island in the future, and cooperate with you to intimidate them with force. If necessary, we can bombard the city and destroy their navy!"
"Yes!" Sharp put his heart back in his stomach after hearing this, and said happily: "I usually keep accounts for them. When the main fleet comes, I will calculate the general accounts, which will be enough to control the situation in the Tsugaru Strait!"
"Very good, you have a good view of the overall situation." Mr. Zhao said with an approving smile: "What we want is to control the situation and ensure the stability of our timber business. As for whether the wood was sold to us by the Ainu people from the East or from the West? It makes no difference whether it¡¯s sold by the Ainu or sold by the Japanese.¡±
"I understand." Jin Xishan said with a sudden look on his face after hearing this: "Young Master, asking the Japanese and the West Ainu to join the timber trade will not only expand the scale of logging on the island, increase the supply of goods, but also prevent the loss of timber due to problems with one family. Cut off the supply. And it can also prevent them from raising the price, which is high, really high!"
"Hahaha, stop pretending to be stupid and flattering me here. I don't believe you don't understand such a simple truth." Mr. Zhao laughed and scolded: "In short, the principle is to maintain the balance of power on the island and prevent one family from becoming dominant. This way Only then can we trade freely with them. When we are free in the future, we will have an excuse to intervene in the disputes on the island!"
To put it bluntly, it is not in the interests of the Jiangnan Group to allow the Japanese to occupy Ainu Island.
But similarly, letting the Ainu drive away the Japanese and monopolize Ainu Island is also not in the interest of Mr. Zhao and the Jiangnan Group.
Even the reconciliation between the Japanese and the Ainu is not in Mr. Zhao¡¯s interests If they don¡¯t fight, how can they purchase war supplies regardless of the cost? Are you struggling to sell wood? If the three companies sit together and form a price alliance to drive up the price of wood, Master Zhao will not be happy.
Therefore, we must not only unswervingly support the Ainu people¡¯s national struggle, but also prevent their struggle from being too successful. This is a great test of the minds and skills of Jin Xishan and Sharp. It is not that easy to be a troublemaker.
There may be saints who sincerely help foreign nations liberate, but there will never be interest groups who sincerely help foreign nations liberate. Any country or organization will only proceed from its own interests when considering issues
??~~
The trial fleet launched an armed patrol in the Tsugaru Strait the next day, and conducted a large-scale live-fire exercise outside Matsumae Castle in Uyizaki Yoshihiro.
Uyizaki Jihiro has heard of these "demons covering Kyushu" a long time ago. With his status and strength, he is not worthy of being a shoe for the powerful Kyushu and Western countries such as Otomo Sorin and Moto Yuan. How can he dare to provoke the terrifying Celestial Fleet?
He was so frightened that he quickly sent his son and his elders to go to sea as a ¡®reward¡¯¡ which actually meant paying protection money. Then under the auspices of Mr. Zhao, a friendly trade treaty was signed with the Tamna Chamber of Commerce, allowing the other party's ships to trade in the territory of the Uyizaki clan, and granting a series of preferential treatment such as tax exemption, extraterritoriality, and security protection.
Sure enough, the truth is within the range of the cannon. With a powerful fleet as the endorsement, it is easy to negotiate.
" Then Mr. Zhao led the fleet with satisfaction and embarked on the return journey.
When returning, we can no longer take the route along the coast of Japan, otherwise the strong black tide will make Mr. Zhao fully understand the pain of sailing against the current.
So the fleet should change its direction to the southwest. After sailing slowly for several days, I finally felt the ease of sailing along the sea near the Korean Peninsula.
The southward compensating current formed by the northward Kuroshio along the coast of the peninsula will send the fleet all the way back to Tamna.
