Chapter 884: One of the Notorious Ji Yi
In the autumn of the sixth year of the founding of the Jingguo of the Song Dynasty, when the entire Song Dynasty officialdom was attracted by the newly established Dujun Ji Ji. He was called Ji Yi, a notorious colonial pioneer, by the historical books of the Western world, and was full of confidence and prepared for his "going to the West" Ji Yi to go to the West more than once!
Of course, Ji Yi now doesn’t know that her many trips to the West will leave such an ugly infamous in history, nor does he know how great disasters her actions will bring to the people of the peace-loving world in the end!
This guy is a disaster star!
Of course, all the bad things were done by Ji Yi! Wu Haogu is a good person, because the empirical school he founded will write history in the future, so he must say good things about Wu Haogu.
As for Ji Yi! He doesn’t have so many disciples, of course he is the worst villain…
Ji Da Bad Guy, at this time, he was already on his "God of Light" and arrived at the Five Islands Islands at the exit of the Bohai Bay.
Shaman Island, the Five Islands Islands, became an international bad guy concentration camp at this time. It was filled with bad guys from the four hundred prefectures of the Song Dynasty, mostly thieves who killed and set fire, and had gathered more than 2,000 people! Zhou Daxia, who had seen corpses and blood on the northwest battlefield, took a group of evil people to stop them and then divided them into ten commanders, practicing martial arts and water battles every day.
A group of mercenaries came from Jiehe Shang City and Jingdong Shang City, all of whom were hired through six "pirate families" including the Wu family, Hua family, Ji family, Bai family, Xie family, Chen family, all of them were bad guys who committed crimes at sea but were not arrested... The total number was no less than 2,000, and they were also trained for a while under the command of the instructors of the three naval forces.
Wu Haogu's retainer Muto Kiichi brought a group of Japanese bad guys, and five or six hundred people mentioned that Su Shi has now brought the letter of the Emperor of Song Dynasty and gifts to Heian Kyo to visit the Shirakawa Court and Emperor Horikawa.
As a sign of friendship with the Song Dynasty, the Dazaifu in Kyushu naturally relaxed the restrictions on Song Shang and Song scholars. The "Tianli Preaching Group" led by Muto Kiichi opened a temple in Hakata, called the "Tianli Taoist Temple". It not only taught Confucian theory of heaven, but also taught "Mutou flows sword and shield technique" and "Bianhe River bow technique".
The former is to use the fan-shaped shield and the samurai sword together. This is the "Swordsmanship" that Muto realized when he was studying in Yoontai's College. With this skill, he has already defeated many swordsmanship masters in Kyushu in Hakata.
The latter is even more powerful, and it is the unique skill of the Bubu War slave soldiers sent by Wu Haogu to Muto. Their bow skills are superb, and they cannot compare with the Japanese samurai who play with bows.
So in a very short period of time, Muto Kishi became quite popular, and then he used a huge sum of money for five jin of copper coins a year to recruit a group of wandering samurai gathered in Hakata. Due to the "Korean gang attack" incident, Hakata became the base camp for Japan to attack the Korean gangs.
Oh, it was not the base camp of the Japanese imperial army, but the wandering samurai gathered from all over the Western countries. They all wanted to make a big fuss in the war to fight against the Korean enemy.
Unfortunately, the Japanese imperial court did not have much land for meritorious rewards, and there were no ships to transport samurai to retake Tsushima and Hiroki Island.
Under such circumstances, the wandering samurai gathered in Hakata became increasingly difficult to control. Therefore, Dazaifu turned a blind eye to the samurai going out.
In the sixth year of Jianzhong Yasukuni of the Song Dynasty, in the autumn of the first year of Jiacheng, Muto Kiss had already brought hundreds of short-legged samurai to Shaman Island.
As for Japanese samurai, of course they are all big bad guys!
On July 15th, when the north wind began to hang up, Ji Yi, who had gathered feudal bureaucrats, big landlords, big capitalists, and other evil people labels, had already climbed to the Shaman Island where evil people gathered, along with his deputy, Li Gang, a great scholar of the empirical school.
"The last general will welcome the angels. The inn is ready, but please let the two angels move and relieve the bumps of the sea..."
On the dock of Shamen Island, a group of navy generals with all-round clothes, led by Zhou Gao, the inspector of the Five Islands, and Hu Yanqing, the inspector of the Nanyang inspector, stood in shifts, and passed by all the ceremony. The two envoys who came down from the "God of Light" were welcomed.
On this occasion, Ji Da Er and Li Dazhe put on official uniforms. Every time they walked, their narrow and long wings trembled slightly. Both of them looked graceful and nodded slightly at the generals.
There was a Song Dynasty, no, it should have been since the unsuccessful mission of the Han and Ganying to the Great Qin State. This was another large-scale mission sent by the vast China to the unknown Western world.
Oh, this mission looks a bit like an expeditionary force!
Including 36 galloping battlefields, 103 hard sail transport ships, and a total of thousands of bed crossbows, the total number of the regiment included naval warriors, mercenaries, sailors, and accompanying merchants, there were about 15,000 people!
During the First Opium War, the British Expeditionary Fleet was not as large as Ji Yi's mission...
Therefore, in the records of later Arabs, Ji Yi was not an envoy of the Song Empire, but the commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Fleet!
The real commander of the expeditionary fleet and the commander of the Nanyang inspector Hu Yanqing was the highest-ranking military officer present. With the promotion of Wu Haogu, the rank officer had already reached the deputy envoy of the seventh-rank supply warehouse, and the deputy envoy of the ministers among the ambassadors. He was still far from Ji Yi's court officials, so he made a humbly gesture and said to Ji Yi: "Please, the north wind is blowing these days, and it is a good time to go south..."
In this day, the road to sea is basically based on the wind. The wind direction is opposite, and it will be a thousand miles a day, and the wind direction is wrong, so it will be in place. Now it is the time when the wind direction is opposite. If you set out immediately, you can reach Haizhou in at most two days and two nights.
For the 36 warships under Hu Yanqing's command, it's no big deal to miss this gust of north wind. Anyway, when the north wind often blows in May and June, they can always be blown to the Three Buddhas.
However, for the 103 hard-sailed merchant ships following these 36 warships, the north wind blew countless money. None of these merchant ships was empty. They were filled with wood, fur, medicinal materials, cattle and sheep, white wine, blankets, lacquerware, paper fans, umbrellas, porcelain and other commodities, some of which were to be sold in Haizhou. After selling some of the commodities in Haizhou, they would also have to be shipped with porcelain, carbon, iron, books and various handicrafts produced near Xuzhou. They would be shipped to Mingzhou in Jiangnan, and some of the commodities were sold in Mingzhou, and then they would be shipped with silk, salt, medicinal materials, and various groceries from Jiangnan to Nanyang for sale.
The entire trade process can be said to be one stop after another. If one stop misses the time, it will encounter problems that it is difficult to buy goods or buy them and be taken first by other merchant ships, which will make a lot of money less.
Ji Yi himself is also a sea merchant family. Of course, he knows the importance of wind direction to sea trade, and he is not seasick, just worried that Li Gang might not be able to stand it.
"Bo Ji," Ji Yi asked, "The wind is very good now. If you set out tomorrow, you can go to Haizhou within two days. You can find a comfortable place to stay in Haizhou and take a few days. If you miss the time and there is no sailboat to take, it is possible to walk a thousand miles of sea routes for half a month!"
Li Gang could still withstand it. After all, he had been in Yuntai Academy for many years and often had to take a boat to Tianya Port and Yuzhou Island. He was a little used to it. However, what he was used to was drifting back and forth in the calm Haizhou Bay. This time he walked in the slightly stormy Bohai Bay, and his stomach was full of waves.
I really want to leave Bohai Bay, but I don’t know what I’m going to dizzy?
However, when he was still young and energetic, how could he show weakness in front of Ji Yi, a middle-aged fat man with incompetence? He said at that time: "The official family is eager to the West. How can someone who is a minister be afraid of the wind and waves? Let's rest for one night today and board a boat to head south tomorrow to arrive in the country of Dashi as soon as possible."
Judging from his expression, Ji Yi knew that there was no need to arrange a welcome banquet. Eat some light and digestible things. Then have a good sleep and go to meet the storm of the sea!
"Xia Capital," Ji Yi said to Hu Yanqing, "I and Li Gang are all the bumpy journey, and they are a little tired. I will take a break early today and there is no need to socialize. I will set off tomorrow. Let's get closer after going to Haizhou.
By the way, has Bai Yuanwai from the Aladdin Chamber of Commerce arrived?"
The one who needs to lie down is Li Gang. Ji Yi has the ancestral gene of resistance to wind and waves. Although his body is far less strong than Li Gang, he can still eat and sleep at sea, and he is still energetic!
So there is no need to rest at all. Instead, we must hurry up and meet with the leaders of several major maritime merchants, convey Wu Haogu's mission, and discuss a unified "trade policy", that is, the pricing principles and route map in future maritime transactions.
Bai Siwen of the Aladdin Chamber of Commerce is the most special existence. He is a Tianfang Cult! For a long time, he has been a competitor or even an enemy of Han Chinese maritime merchants in the Nanyang market!
This time, Wu Haogu and Ji Yi used a lot of money, that is, the Sanfoqi Strait Market (I don’t know where it is now? Later, I chose Temasek Island) and added the identity of a "messenger" (after having this identity, Bai Siwen could go to the Western world to cheat), so he brought Bai Siwen and his family to be a leader on the Western route.
However, Ji Yi was still a little worried about this great merchant of the Tianfang Sect. After all, Ji Yi, who has a firm belief, is a Manichaean and understands the power of religious beliefs too much.
So he had to hit Bai Siwen! Zhao Qianshun, the emperor of the official family, is very powerful. No matter how Black Khan Uighurs or Seljuk Turks, they can defeat Zhao Qianshun, the King of Xiping.
