Chapter 260 Unfortunate Japanese
Xu Bai obviously breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not the evil that Li Feng had committed. If he really robbed the envoys from our country's tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and then proudly sent the robberies to his own hands, that would be a joke that would be the number one in Tianzi.
He won't take the blame even if he beats it to death.
The incident of the Japanese pirates attacking the Ming Dynasty occurred during the Hongwu period, until the 17th year of Yongle, when the Ming army wiped out the invading Japanese pirates in Liaodong, the matter stopped a little.
At that time, the Japanese pirates were mainly some roninists on the coast of Kyushu, Japan, and the refugees were already frustrated in the local area. These guys were originally guys who were surviving in the war. Organizing people to grab one from time to time in the Ming Dynasty and the coastal areas of Korea was also their way of survival.
During the Hongwu period, Zhu Yuanzhang sent envoys to Japan many times. However, although Japan did not think that in the later Warring States period, it was still an era of division between the north and the south. These envoys of the Ming Dynasty basically went there and no one could even find the person in charge.
Fortunately, during the Yongle period, a ruthless man appeared in the Ming Dynasty. The three treasure eunuch Zheng He, who is now speaking of the thumbs up in the palace. Everyone knows Zheng He's achievements in his seven voyages to the West, but few people know that the starting point of the achievements of the three treasure eunuch Zheng's achievements on the sea of power was when he started his mission to Japan.
It was also due to the luck of Japan that when the Eunuch of Sanbao was sent to Japan, the Ashikaga shogunate finally barely unified Japan. So, the Eunuch of Sanbao led the fleet and finally found the main owner. Otherwise, with the eunuch of Sanbao, if there was no one to go to Japan, it would be hard to say what would happen later.
So, the Ming Dynasty and Japan finally established a slightly normal trade relationship.
This kind of trade relationship is called a trade-friendly relationship.
The Ming Dynasty gave the Japanese court a certificate of trade, that is, it is known that the Ming Dynasty implemented a policy of banning the sea. If it was not a good match for the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that this encounter was a little bit wonderful. At this time, the time when the Three Treasures eunuchs went to the West was not too long. Although the Ming Dynasty's navy was getting worse every day, not to mention the deep sea voyage, they still had a little confidence in near-shore defense.
This is the source of what Xu Bai said, "If you don't have the right to match, then you will be the Japanese pirates!"
Of course, the Ming Dynasty's sea ban was a sea ban, but there were definitely many Ming Dynasty who quietly violated the ban and went to trade in the sea. However, everyone from all over the country knew about this matter and the people along the coast knew about it. However, no one really put this matter on the table to promote it.
Making money quietly and making money in a quiet voice is the nature of the Ming people. Those who like to show off will not last for two generations. The little money they earn is just for others to make wedding dresses.
As a subordinate of Yu Qian, Xu Bai is also very clear about what Li Feng and others do.
To put it bluntly, it’s just pirates, but there are also sayings that the business these guys are targeting merchant ships overseas that do not belong to the Ming Dynasty. For the people of the Ming Dynasty today, there are not many people who realize that many overseas countries have already traded very frequently. Thinking about the actions of Zheng He’s voyage to the West have been criticized as “expending national strength and celebrating great achievements”. Then it’s hard to say how many people care about overseas trade.
Especially since the sea ban, the coastal areas were a little better, and the people in the temple even sneered at these things.
Xu Bai's vision of this aspect is naturally much higher than that of the people around him. Lin Qiyun contacted this business. Although he had the intention of reporting in advance, he still did not stop it and even supported it, for this reason.
That’s right, there are great benefits overseas. Since you can’t compete with the people for profit, why can’t he eat such a large piece of fat meat?
"Sir, Sir!"
Seeing Xu Bai, Guo Lin, beside him, shouted softly. He thought that Lord Xu in front of him might not know about these things in Japan, but now it seems that Lord Xu knows so much more than he imagined.
"Do you know what this Dayou family is?" Xu Bai raised his head and frowned.
"This should be a prince of Japan!" Guo Lin thought for a while and tried to explain to Xu Bai in words that Xu Bai could understand: "The country of Japan should be similar to our previous Spring, Autumn, Qin and Han Dynasties. It was divided into the world. The Otomo family should be one of the princes!"
"Have you been to Japan?"
Xu Bai looked up at him and said, "I understand Japan and understand Japan's things. I didn't realize that you, Mr. Guo, actually have such ability!"
"That's not!" Guo Lin smiled embarrassedly: "However, there are a few concubines at home, who were given by others. When you are with them on weekdays, you will know a little if you hear a lot of these things!"
Xu Bai was stunned and laughed: "Oh oh oh, it turns out that Mr. Guo is capable of everything. I can't even admire him!"
"Sir, sir!" Guo Lin was embarrassed: "If you like it, I will look for a few and send them to you!"
"No, no, I can't bear it!" Xu Bai waved his hand, a big bun, a bed sheet, his face was covered with snow-white, and then he grinned, and the image of a black Japanese "beauty" suddenly appeared in his mind.
He couldn't help but chill, and then looked at Guo Lin with curiosity.
I didn't realize that Guo Lin is young and rich, and has a lot of poetry and books. He should be a master who has eaten and played with him. I didn't expect that he tasted so strong that he could taste so good.
"Sir, this Japanese are talking about so much. Do you have anything else to ask?"
Guo Lin was a little furious when he saw him and asked embarrassedly. Xu Bai's eyes made him feel a little dangerous. Among his friends, there were a few who liked women who were not good at **. When he looked at the young and handsome boy, his eyes were not much different from those of Lord Xu's eyes now.
"Uh!" Xu Bai woke up and said, "I'm afraid the words of this Japanese man may not be true. I have sent someone to call the deputy Qianhu of Tianjin Qianhu Institute to work hard. Ren Qianhu is good at torture. When he comes, you will accompany him to ask again. Ask everything in detail. If it really doesn't have much obstacles to me, Tianjin, go back and send a notice to appease the people, and this matter will be over!"
