Hearing Isseleka asked him to take the lead in attacking the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, Ashikaga Ichikki sneered in his heart. Although he had no contact with Zhou Chong, judging from the actions of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce during this period, we can also know that the other party must be extremely smart.

The character, since he had dared to destroy the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce and the Shangquan Chamber of Commerce in a row, he would naturally be wary of others attacking the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce. And if his Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce really broke up with the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, then in the end, there would probably be only one immortal left.

In the endless situation, Isseleka can get out, sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, and even seize the benefits of Beigang from it.

Although Isseka knows that Isseka has selfish intentions, Ichiki Ashikaga naturally won't say what he thinks directly. He smiled calmly at Isseka and said, "Iseka, although most of the staff of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce are scattered in various places.

In the fleet, they have close ties with the two major chambers of commerce, the Xie family and the Hong family. Even if we unite, we may not be able to destroy the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce in a short time. If the Xie family and the Hong family send reinforcements to the

, I'm afraid that it would be us who were destroyed in the end, so we must not be able to fight against the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce until the last moment."

Hearing Ashikaga Isseka couldn't help but say anxiously: "Brother Ashikaga, our chamber of commerce is now at the critical moment of life and death. Of course, your Ashikaga Chamber of commerce has a big family and a big business, which is more time than the support of our small and medium-sized chambers of commerce.

It's a little longer, but if all of us small and medium-sized chambers of commerce go bankrupt in the future, I'm afraid the Ashikaga Chamber of commerce will find it difficult to survive in Shuangyu Port!"

"Ise-kun doesn't have to say much, I naturally have my plans!" Hearing Ise-kan's words, he alluded to them that the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce only took a look at it. Regardless of the lives and deaths of other Japanese Chambers of Commerce, Ashikaga Ichiki couldn't help but have a few things.

He was angry. His tone also increased a little.

Isseleka was also shocked at this time. He just wanted to persuade Ashikaga Ikki to fight with the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce. Unexpectedly, he said so much in a hurry. He immediately apologized: "Brother Ashikaga, I'm sorry for a moment,

I hope you don’t take it wrong!”

Isseleka worships Ming culture, and they are very similar to the Ming people in terms of clothing and speaking habits. Ashikaga Ichikki was originally very dissatisfied with the Ming people's dress of Isseleka. But now they are facing the common Nanyang Chamber of Commerce.

The enemy, and Isseleka is also a representative of the Japanese Small and Medium Chamber of Commerce, so Ashikaga Ichiki didn't want to offend the other party too much. He smiled and said, "Ashikaga doesn't need to apologize, I also know your life now.

It's not easy to live, but what you don't know is that our Aquatic Chamber of Commerce is also not easy to live. Although our Chamber of Commerce is doing a large business, the expenses are also very large. Now the supply of goods in our hands has been reduced by half, and the Chamber of Commerce is now unable to make ends meet.

, If we don’t find a way to solve the problem, we are the first one to fall down.”

Ichiki Ashikaga did not blame him. Instead, he revealed his shortcomings and told himself that the situation of the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce was not much better than that of him. Although Issenoka didn't know the truth or falsehood of the other party's words, it did make him feel much better.

However, although Ashikaga Ichiki expressed that he did not want to confront the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, Isseleka did not give up. Then he persuaded Ashikaga Ichiki to stand up and fight for his rights as a representative of the Japanese. Unfortunately, Ashikaga Ichiki had a stubborn personality.

Things will not change anyway, so no matter how Isseleka persuades, the other party just disagrees.

Seeing that today's persuasion would not have any effect, Isseleka stopped entangling, and soon shook his head and sighed and stood up to say goodbye. Although Ashikari tried his best to keep him for dinner at the Chamber of Commerce, Isseleka was simply

I didn't feel like eating, so I finally got up and said goodbye.

After seeing Isseleka off, Ashikaga Ichiki returned to his Japanese-style study and saw him kneeling there with a contemplative look on his face.

In fact, the situation of the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce is not as serious as he said before. As one of the four major chambers of commerce in Shuangyu Port, they also have their own supply channels. Although due to the cooperation and smuggling, many of them were originally supplied to them.

The merchant turned to the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, but the supply of the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce was still retained at least half. In addition, he continued to transport some specialties from Japan, so although the profit of the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce has decreased a lot, it has protected itself.

Still no problem.

However, although the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce can protect itself, from the standpoint of Ashikaga Ikki, he was also very dissatisfied with the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce. After all, it was precisely because of the other party that the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce was that it was the original good Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce that could only protect itself.

The dilemma, even a while ago, he was thinking about how to calculate the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, and at least to destroy the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce's cooperative smuggling business, but something that happened later changed his mind.

The reason why Ashikaga Ichiki suddenly changed his mind was mainly because when Zhou Chong came back a few days ago, he actually brought a team of hundreds of Jinyiwei, and there were rumors in the port that Zhou Chong had a close contact with the Emperor Ming Dynasty.

Many people even believe that the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce has the support of the Emperor of Ming, so it has developed so rapidly. As for the Jinyiwei team, it was sent by the Emperor of Ming to protect Zhou Chong.

Originally, Ashikaga Ichiki didn't easily believe this kind of rumor, but soon he heard some news from Songjiang Prefecture and knew that the Jinyiwei came with the imperial edict for marriage, and he even went secretly.

The Nanyang Chamber of Commerce observed it and saw with his own eyes that the Jinyiwei was really respectful to Zhou Chong, which finally convinced him most of the rumors.

Ashikaga Ichikki actually cared about the Jinyiwei, but the relationship between Zhou Chong and the Emperor of Ming. Assuming that the Emperor of Ming is really behind the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, then given that Zhou Chong is actually protecting the Jinyiwei, then

Zhou Chong must have been highly valued by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. This news is definitely a great news for Ashikaga Ichikki.

Ashikaga Ichiki was born in the Japanese shogun Ashikaga family. In fact, his real name is Ashikaga Yoshio, and he is the cousin of the current shogun Ashikaga Yoshikaga. He and Ashikaga Yoshikaga have grown up together since childhood. They have a good relationship, but this is it.

Although the Ashikaga family still retained its position as a general, the power was controlled by the Hosokawa family, the Ouchi family, the Hoshiyama family and other families. The Ashikaga family was in their hands, but it was just a sign that could be used at any time.

There is not much real power.

Ashikaga Yoshio has been stubborn since childhood. When he saw his family becoming a puppet in the hands of others, he was heartbroken. However, others said lightly and had no rights in their hands. He could not change the status quo of the family at all. It was also in this situation.

Next, Ashikaga Yoshio decided to leave the family and go outside to seek ways to revive the family. Finally, after years of hard work, he changed his name to Ashikaga Ikki and finally gained a foothold in Shuangyu Port. The Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce has also become the four major players in Shuangyu Port.

One of the chambers of commerce.

With the development of the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce, Ashikaga Ichikki wants people and people who want money and are also considered to be the overlord of the sea. However, he did not forget his original ambitions. As his strength in his hands increased, he never forgot about it.

Family connections, especially after knowing that his cousin Ashikaga Yoshitaki became a shogun, he began to strongly support his cousin in power, but unfortunately he never succeeded.

Ashikaga Yoshitaki was originally the tenth general of the Muromachi Shogunate, but just a few years after he became the general, he was launched a coup and abolished the general's position and had to go into exile. During that time, Ashikaga Yoshio gave his cousin a cousin.

With less help, almost all the property earned by the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce was given to Ashikaga Yoshikaga for restoration. As a result, in the third year of Masato, Ashikaga Yoshikaga took advantage of the opportunity of the Hosokawa family's civil strife and joined forces with daimyos from all over the country, and finally

He was successfully restored in one fell swoop and became a shogun again.

However, after Ashikaga Yoshikata became a general again, he was still undermined by various real power families and did not restore the real power in the hands of the shogun. For this reason, Ashikaga Yoshikata had conflicts with several real power families, but it was useless. The puppet was still

puppet.

Although Ashikaga Ichiki is far overseas, he has always maintained a close contact with his cousin Ashikaga Yoshita and is very familiar with the situation in Japan. He also knows that daimyos from all over Japan now hold real power, and although he can support his cousin some.

The wealth, but the situation cannot affect the overall situation unless he can help his cousin find a big backer, and the best candidate for this backer is undoubtedly the Ming Dynasty.

Speaking of which, the Ashikaga family still has a relationship with the Ming Dynasty. When the third shogun Ashikaga Yoshiman was in power, he sent people to the Ming Dynasty many times to request trade with the Ming Dynasty. Finally, when the Ming Dynasty was in power, the Ming Dynasty was in power.

The issuance of the quasi-conformity agreement allowed Japan to trade in the name of a vassal state, once every ten years, and the transaction location was Ningbo Port next to Shuangyu Port, which was also one of the reasons why the Japanese people gathered at Shuangyu Port.

Ashikaga Yoshima admired the Ming culture and finally opened up the Ming Dynasty's business path. In order to commend Ashikaga Yoshima, Zhu Di finally gave him the title of "King of Japan" and gave him a golden seal, which was the Ashikaga family of later generations.

The generals also inherited the title of King of Japan and traded with the Ming Dynasty. However, it should be noted that the King of Japan is completely different from the Emperor of Japan. At that time, the Emperor of Japan had become a puppet, and the Ashikaga family was the real ruler. Unfortunately,

Later, the Ashikaga family was also undermined and its power was dispersed among the local daimyos.

It was precisely because of this connection that Ashikaga Ichiki discussed with his cousin Ashikaga Yoshikaga, hoping to suppress the Daming of all regions with the help of the Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, the Ming Dynasty did not interfere with the internal affairs of various vassal states. Although Ashikaga Yoshikaga many times

The Japanese king asked for help from the Ming Dynasty in the name of the king, but the Ming officials were unwilling to pay attention to it. It was even more impossible for them to enter the palace to see the Emperor of Ming, so there has been no progress in asking for help from the Ming Dynasty.
