Chapter 2702

Although Wen Zhihong is very satisfied with the initial results achieved so far, the mission is not as optimistic about the prospects of negotiations. Haihan has never made it clear that he will use force to resolve trade disputes.

Zhihong took advantage of the vague space to mislead Zong Xiongtai. The other party's concession was only out of fear of Haihan's armed forces. Once it was later discovered that Haihan would not really use force, the negotiation process would probably return to the old path.

.

The plan for now is to strike while the iron is hot and sign a new agreement while Tsushima has not really come to terms with it. The conditions do not need to be too radical, as long as both North Korea and Japan take a step back. As for Haihan, he can take advantage of it.

Taking this opportunity to legalize our trade activities between Korea and Japan, we will no longer be accused of "smuggling activities" by Tsushima in the future, and it will be much more convenient to travel freely across the Korean Strait.

Wen Zhihong hoped that the Haihan mission could stay in Busan for a while to ensure that both the special zone demarcation and the trade agreement could be smoothly advanced, but the mission did not intend to delay in Busan any longer.

According to the original schedule, the mission would only stay in Busan for about five to seven days, but in fact after arriving in Busan, it has been here for half a month in order to promote the delineation of the Haihan Exclusive Economic Zone.

, for this reason, a series of follow-up arrangements had to be postponed.

There are only twenty or thirty people in the mission, but the daily expenses of the huge fleet coming to Busan are a huge amount, and the Busan government does not have to bear the additional expenses beyond the original schedule for Haihan.

Meaning. After the mission completes its mission and returns home, I'm afraid it will have to prepare a written report specifically for these excess expenditures.

The most anxious person in the mission was Wang Anguo. His mission to return to China this year was to return to the North American base with a fleet full of supplies and immigrants. However, in order to recruit immigrants and wait for the delivery of new ships, he was already in Zhejiang

The delay lasted for several months, and the schedule for the mission to North Korea was repeatedly changed and postponed.

Wang Anguo was worried that there would be a shortage of supplies in North America, so he urged it several times in the hope that he could avoid any temporary additional tasks and finish the work as soon as possible and leave for the next stop.

Regarding the affairs of Haihan District, the big framework has been set up, and then it will be handed over to Fu Guoqing and Zhang Fengchu.

Early one morning at the end of October, the Haihan Fleet slowly sailed away from the Port of Busan and headed south to Tsushima Island. According to the results of the previous talks with Mune Yuta, the Haihan Fleet will go to Asu Bay, Tsushima Island, and make a short visit there.

visit.

The purpose of this visit is very clear, which is to promote the signing of the trilateral trade agreement. Therefore, as a representative of North Korea, Wen Zhihong also followed the Haihan Fleet to Tsushima Island.

More than a hundred miles south of Busan Port is Tsushima Island. When the weather is fine, you can see the Busan coast from the heights of Tsushima Island. The coastline of this long and narrow island is winding, but because the entire island is mountainous, the coastline

The terrain is mostly steep cliffs and rugged rocks, and there are not many areas suitable for use as ports. There are only two or three small bays on the southwest side of the island with slightly flatter terrain that can be built as urban areas.

In terms of the topographic conditions of the island, Tsushima Island is far smaller than Hirado Island, which is several times smaller than it. If it were not for its innate geographical advantages, there would probably be no chance of becoming a maritime trade hub between North Korea and Japan.

The last time a large armed fleet arrived at Tsushima Island probably dates back to the Imjin Japanese Rebellion in 1592. Hideyoshi Toyoda used Tsushima Island as a front-line base and assembled more than 17,000 troops on the island, and then

Cross the sea and attack Pusan.

Although the visit of the Kaihan Fleet did not come with the purpose of war, it still made Tsushima very nervous. Therefore, in order to show a peaceful attitude, the Kaihan Fleet did not sail into the core area of ​​Tsushima Island.

, but after making two rounds outside Asu Bay, the large force was left on a coast more than 20 miles south of Asu Bay. Only the Zhoushan and two exploration-class warships, as well as North Korea

The mission's ship sailed into Asu Bay and docked together.

In this way, it not only achieves the purpose of showing off force to deter Tsushima, but also prevents the other party from being too nervous and causing accidents of gunfire.

After the previous talks, Muneyuta had already rushed back to Tsushima. This time when the envoys visited, he no longer waited in Kinshi Castle on the island. Instead, he came to the port to welcome the envoys from the two countries on behalf of the lord.

.

Shi Chengwu asked Wang Anguo to lead the fleet, and he personally led the envoy ashore, so that if there was an emergency, there would be someone to take care of both inside and outside. When he got off the ship, he carefully observed the terrain here. The so-called urban area was just a bay.

There are several narrow valleys with slightly flat terrain around it, and there are not many continuous open areas at all.

Such terrain also severely limits local development. Although many ships are docked in the harbor, the land area that can be used for port construction is extremely limited. The urban area here plus the port is still far less than the Port of Busan.

The area of ​​the area is large. In a place like this, the scale of trade must have an upper limit. According to Haihan's standards for maritime trade, it is impossible to operate it as an important port.

According to Wen Zhihong, the land suitable for growing crops on Tsushima is extremely limited, and the food output is extremely low. The food that can be produced by itself is mainly seafood, so food has to be imported from Japan and Busan all year round.

Kinseki Castle, located near the coast of Asu Bay, is the main city of Tsushima. This traditional Japanese-style castle is built on the mountain. There are several stepped walls fortifications outside the castle, and there is a small outside.

A moat surrounds the city, and its scale is comparable to the castle at Yeongdo Wakan. It can be seen that the Tsushima clan spent a lot of money on the defense of the city.

Just like when I visited Yeongdo, there are several carriages prepared for visitors here, and not surprisingly, they are all made by Haehan. It can be seen that it is not only the Busan area that is affected by Haehan, but even the Busan area has not yet established a direct relationship with Haehan.

Trade relations with Tsushima cannot be avoided.

Of course, this also proves from the side the impact of Haihan culture and industrial products on the traditional market. With this more comfortable and more fashionable means of transportation, the traditional Japanese sedans and carriages are too shabby, like

A powerful local like Ma Fan who was not short of money was naturally more willing to choose new toys that could highlight his status.

Now that even large-scale products with relatively complex structures such as carriages have been purchased, I am afraid that other Haihan industrial products have already appeared on Tsushima. At this time, even if the Japanese took out a pack of Haihan products from their arms,

Cigarettes, it should be no surprise.
