Since Zhu Youxiao issued an attempt to open the Songjiang River, more Ming Dynasty civil merchant ships have traveled between Shanghai and Nagasaki.

Because the cotton cloth and silk produced by the Weaving Bureau in Shanghai are so cheap and affordable.

Therefore, even if you buy cotton cloth directly from the Weaving Bureau and sell it to Japan, you can make several times the huge profits.

After all, the cotton cloth at the Ming Dynasty Weaving Bureau has no competitors in Japan, regardless of its excellent texture or low price.

Therefore, businessmen who are profit-seeking will naturally not miss such business opportunities.

Almost all the Ming merchants in the Susong area were involved in such trade, and there were even overseas Chinese merchants from Huizhou.

Even though Zhu Youxiao charged high tariffs in Songjiang Prefecture, it still did not hinder their enthusiasm for making huge profits in Japan.

This also led to a large number of Ming merchants and their employees and servants living in the area of ​​Nagasaki and Heido in Japan.

Because Nagasaki and Hirado were the only place where the Tokugawa shogunate in Japan allowed trade in this era.

At this time, Sun Jiahe, a relative of Xu Guangqi's wife, brought a ship of cotton cloth, silk and soap from the Ming Dynasty Engineering Academy and had begun to be sold nationwide and the East and South China Seas to Huangdao in Nagasaki, Japan.

"Boss, isn't the journey going smoothly?"

Wu Daoshen, the concubine and shopkeeper who stayed for Sun Jiahe in Huangdao, Nagasaki, started talking to Sun Jiahe after Sun Jiahe arrived in Nagasaki.

Sun Jiahe replied: "It's quite smooth. Now, my Ming warships are patrolling from Liaodong to Ningbo. Pirates dare not appear at will. The business is easier than before."

"What the boss said is reasonable. I guess the boss brought more goods this time?"

Wu Daoshen asked with a smile.

Sun Jiahe nodded.

As soon as he arrived at the store, Wu Daoshen shouted: "Little sister, the master is here, please take the kids out!"

"Dad!"

A little girl and a little boy shouted in the Ming Dynasty Wu dialect and ran towards his father Sun Jiahe happily.

Only then did Sun Jiahe smile and squatted on the ground to hold his child.

But suddenly, a gunshot sounded, and the little girl running in front suddenly got shot on her face, then fell to the ground, her fair little face suddenly turned blood red, and the laughter stopped abruptly.

Sun Jiahe was shocked by this scene for a moment.

Before he could come to his senses, he suddenly found a Japanese knife slashing at his youngest son again. Suddenly, his youngest son fell to the ground with his body and head, and a pen in his hand also fell to the ground.

When Sun Jiahe looked back, he found that a Japanese man wearing bamboo armor in front of him was grinning and proudly slashing his little daughter.

Behind the Japanese, a team of soldiers wearing bamboo armor rushed over in the streets and alleys where their shops were located. The soldiers held spears, firearms, and wolves, and under the banner of "Mu Xiejun".

"Master, the shogunate army of Nagasaki Matsuurabashi takes action first!"

At the same time, Sun Jiahe also heard a soldier running in front and spoke to a Confucian scholar riding a horse beside him.

"It seems that the Japanese are even more impatient and quickly take action. These merchants from the Ming Dynasty are willing to be tyrants to the tyrant. They are either relatives of relatives of the treacherous minister Xu Guangqi or relatives of other treacherous ministers. Otherwise, they would not have received goods from the Ming Academy of Engineering and Weaving Bureau. Therefore, these people are very generous. Once they are robbed, they will definitely make a lot of money. Although the shogunate asked us to help Matsuura ban drive them away, Matsuura ban has already started to kill people, which means that these Ming Dynasty merchants are fighting against the shogunate's fate and should be killed without any hesitation!"

It was Yang Sichang who rode the horse. At this time, Yang Sichang started to give a cold command.

Ye Chuchun felt a little reluctant and said: "Is it too much to kill people directly? What if the tyrant takes revenge?"

"Just a few businessmen, Zhu Youxiao will mobilize a lot for these people? Shouldn't he care more about whether there will be Japanese riots in his local area?"

Yang Sichang asked coldly.

Ye Chuchun nodded: "That's right!"

Then, in order not to be suspected, he had to add again: "Since that's the case, it's better to kill it cleanly! Let these Ming merchants dare not come to Nagasaki to do business, and they can only cooperate with us in the future!"

Yang Sichang smiled and said, "This is exactly what we mean!"

And what Yang Sichang said happened to be heard by Sun Jiahe.

But Sun Jiahe had no time to speak.

Because he was soon shot dead by the Mu Xie army under Yang Sichang with a musket on the spot, and his blood had already fallen to the ground.

Sun Jiahe's concubine had already fainted because of her two children being killed, and was soon ravaged by these shogunate and shogunate troops.

As for Mu Xiejun, after Yang Sichang ordered, he immediately rushed into the shops of Ming merchants and the mansions here.

"Bang!"

Xu Zongsheng, an official from the Ming Dynasty who was responsible for transporting iron ore imported from the Western Band in Nagasaki for the imperial court's maritime business, was inspecting and preparing a batch of iron ore that was ready to be transported back to the Ming Dynasty. When the gate was knocked open, some soldiers wearing bamboo armor directly cut and slashed his employer to the ground.

The reactionary gentry's Massacre Army lacked armor, so they used bamboo armor as much as the Japanese shogunate army.

Xu Zongsheng mistakenly thought that it was the Japanese who were in trouble. He was about to ask questions in the Japanese language he had mastered, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. It turned out that he had been pierced by these Mu Xiejun who rushed in.

"Husband!"

"My husband!"

At the same time, Xu Zongsheng's newly-breasted wife was also dragged out.

Yang Sichang was already very happy to see the iron ore all over the yard. He was even happier when he saw Xu Zongsheng's wife being pretty and a Han girl. He couldn't help but shout loudly: "Take all these iron ore and that woman!"

“Bold!”

Xu Zongsheng said this, his mouth was covered in blood.

For a time, the entire Ming Dynasty merchant gathering area on Huangdao turned into a purgatory on earth. A large number of Han people were killed, and women, young and children were not spared.

The key is that reactionary gentry such as Yang Sichang also took the initiative to kill his compatriots.

Sun Jiahe's shop was naturally looted from other Ming merchants' shops, and even the lucky ships he bought were abducted.

...

"Water is relatively closed. Because it is surrounded by the sea, it has little negotiations with the outside world. It is a country dominated by land warfare. It does not pay attention to sea defense. Naval warfare is not as good as the Emperor Ming, nor the North Korea. Its warships are not as good as our Ming Dynasty ships and the vast ships and blessed ships, and are even worse than the new soft sailing ships of the Ming Dynasty! Therefore, in my opinion, the naval forces conquer the Japanese, and the naval battles are not difficult. The only challenge is the land warfare after landing. The reason is that the Japanese arena is narrow and crowded, so they have always been brave and cruel, and they all despise their lives.

Even if they don't take their lives seriously, and Japan is different from Korea. They have their own emperors, and they are not as influenced by Confucianism as Korea. Therefore, they have the consciousness of being the center of the world and have no fear of the heavenly dynasty. Therefore, they have the ambition to annex my Central Plains during the period of Toyotomi Hideyoshi! I believe that after the shogunate forcibly borrowed seven million stones of grain this time, they were unwilling to accept it, and they were more angry, like a arrogant Yelang, who thought he was the lord of the world, so he wanted to revenge on the merchants of the Ming Dynasty."

Chen Yourong was summoned to Beijing by Zhu Youxiao because he was familiar with the matter of Japan. Now he talked about the Japanese in his eyes to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and a group of civil and military officials at the court meeting of the Privy Council.

As early as the Japanese turmoil in the Renchen period, he had conspired with civil servant Jin Xue to lead troops to attack the Japanese mainland. For this reason, he also spent a lot of energy to investigate Japan, and even put in detailed work. However, the plan did not take any practice later. Chen Yourong thought that the matter would be left unresolved, but he did not expect that during the current Tianqi period, Emperor Zhu Youxiaohui of the Ming Dynasty once again gave him a place to use his efforts many years ago.

"What Chen Aiqing said is reasonable. The shogunate was dissatisfied with our Ming Dynasty. In my opinion, the reason was that our Ming Dynasty's textile skills and other skills were too advanced, progressed too quickly, and the goods were too cheap and cheap, so we robbed too many people of the profits. Not only was the shogunate dissatisfied, but the daimyo and cotton houses and craftsmen under Japan were dissatisfied with our Ming Dynasty. There were also reactionary gentry who fled overseas and were dissatisfied with our Ming Dynasty. These people who were dissatisfied with our Ming Dynasty must have colluded with each other. They drove our merchants and even slaughtered our merchants. Their original intention was to block our trade, cut off our market, and prevent our goods from being sold!"

Zhu Youxiao said.

"If this is the case, it will cause chaos in the world. A large number of official goods are unsalable, which will cause bankruptcy of a large number of workers in Jiangnan, which will directly lead to chaos in Jiangnan. After all, now the scholars and people in Jiangnan can live and work in peace and contentment, and the official industry has brought them a lot of income. In addition, Tianjin workers who manufacture various advanced equipment for the official and private industries in Jiangnan will also go bankrupt. For example, Tianjin has reached one million workers today. If Tianjin also follows the chaos, it means that both the north and the south will fall into turmoil."

Bi Ziyanxian, who has a strong sense of economic understanding, spoke solemnly, and bowed to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty! In my opinion, these external scholars and reactionary gentry must not succeed! Even if they spend all the treasury, they must teach the Japanese a lesson once!"

“More than once.”

Zhu Youxiao said a serious expression, and then ordered Chen Yourong: "Chen Xin has led the First Naval Division of the Guards to Nagasaki! You led the Denglai Navy to follow up and sent the North Korea to conquer the Japanese. He did not expect North Korea to help, but let him know what the prestige of the Celestial Kingdom is so as not to be ignorant in the future like the current Japanese state! In addition, I still said that the military discipline I issued against the people is only effective for the people of our country! It is too late to save my Ming people who live in Nagasaki, but if the Japanese in Nagasaki really massacred my Ming people, according to my will, kill my Ming people, and make the Japanese country compensate them a hundred times more. For many days, I will slaughter them!"

"I obey the order!"
