The decree of the imperial court!

In fact, everyone knew that Fang Yizhi had no decree from the imperial court. However, no one asked, not even the generals and retainers including Tokugawa Iemitsu, they didn't care at all.

For Tokugawa, he needs the envoys of the Celestial Dynasty to help him "rectify his name." As for the "little seal", with the blessing of the Buddha, the Tokugawa clan may be the second Yan clan in the future. How can the Japanese who understand Sinology not know this?

What is the result of having great achievements and having a strong army at hand?

Besides, how did the Tokugawa family conquer the world back then?

This is simply a God-given opportunity.

Why did Emperor Yongle confer Ashikaga Yoshimitsu as King of Japan?

To put it bluntly, the throne of Yongle came from the "Yasukuni Disaster", and the Muromachi Shogunate of Ashikaga also came from the "usurpation". In other words, both of them came to the throne incorrectly.

Who in this circle knows the Central Plains best? The Japanese!

Don't say that he doesn't care that this envoy's identity is not upright. Even if he comes on behalf of rebellious officials and traitors, for the Tokugawa family, that is not necessarily a bad thing.

In the future, if Prince Tokugawa usurps the throne and becomes the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it is necessary unless "all nations come to court". It is also necessary for the Tokugawa family to "rectify their name" in the Ming Dynasty. The two families

It's all about getting what each other needs.

The imperial decree?

We are all "rebellious ministers and traitors", who cares?

As for the Tang Shang Tang people in Nagasaki, they are just ordinary people. No matter what, this man is still a soldier under the general's sect. He is the "official" of the imperial court. How can ordinary people fight against the officials? But now Zheng Mingkuan has mentioned this.

.

Faced with doubts, Fang Yizhi looked at Zheng Mingkuan, raised the corners of his lips and seemed about to smile, then suddenly shouted angrily:

"Well, Zheng Mingkuan, you are just a slave of the Longmen family of Zheng Zhi, the general of the Fujian army. You actually dare to gossip and make mistakes. What are your intentions in questioning Fang's identity in the Japanese territory!"

"ah?"

Zheng Mingkuan was a little confused.

"I……"

"Qiang!"

A flash of sword light flashed, and Zheng Mingkuan's head fell to the ground.

Everyone around was stunned, and the Japanese waiter outside the door opened his eyes in shock. Fang Yizhi shouted:

"Zheng Mingkuan colluded with bandits and tried to resist arrest. He has been executed by this envoy. Where is Li Qianhu?"

Li Zhengkun immediately ran over, clasping his fists to report.

"The end is here!"

Fang Yizhi said coldly.

"Immediately lead your troops to the Zheng family's ship and seize it. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy."

"The last general takes orders!" Li Zhengkun said seriously.

"Hosokawa!"

Fang Yizhi said to Hosokawa who came after hearing the sound,

"Please also ask Hosokawa to report this matter to the executive. This matter is our Ming Dynasty matter. According to the treaty, we are fully responsible."

This is the benefit of the treaty. Fang Yizhi dared to kill Zheng Mingkuan, not only because the treaty just signed gave him the power of life and death of the Tang people in Japan, but more importantly, he knew that the Japanese respected the strong, and he was an envoy.

If anyone dared to question his identity, he would have to explain, how could the Japanese respect other envoys?

"Young man understands that when the people of the Tang Dynasty deal with matters, the envoy will be responsible for them according to the agreement."

When Hosokawa withdrew, Fang Yizhi looked at Chen Chongyi who was kneeling on the ground and was shaking all over, and sneered.

"Chen Chongyi, do you have anything to say?"

"Grass, grass people have nothing to say..."

Chen Chongyi said with trembling all over.

In fact, he was different from Zheng Mingkuan. Zheng Mingkuan wanted the Zheng family to continue to dominate the Nagasaki trade. After hearing about the establishment of a concession and the control of the concession by Ming envoys, in his opinion, General Pinglu's move to get involved in the Nagasaki trade was undoubtedly an attack on the Zheng family.

It was extremely unfavorable, but there was nothing he could do to stop it. After all, General Pinglu was a clan member of the Ming Dynasty.

Even when the news of General Pinglu's capture of a senior official reached the family head, the family head was just stunned for a while, and then fell silent. Although the family head was the general soldier of Fujian, he was a pirate, so in terms of his identity, he was

A general is so noble that he couldn't compete with others in the Ming Dynasty. He couldn't compete with the Japanese either. The Japanese valued dignity and inferiority more.

Zheng Mingkuan, who was not willing to let the Nagasaki trade be monopolized by the general, made a good calculation. He first questioned and then negotiated, and finally found an advantage in this concession. It could not only protect the interests of the Zheng family in Nagasaki, but of course it would be more beneficial to him personally.

, after all, this job will eventually fall to him, Zheng Mingkuan. But his wishful thinking was wrong - not only did the general kill people at the slightest disagreement, but so did his subordinates who joined the army.

Zheng Mingkuan has an agenda, but Chen Chongyi has no agenda. Although he has close ties with the Zheng family, it does not mean that he is willing to die for the Zheng family.

"Please, please spare your life, spare your life..."

Seeing Chen Chongyi who kept sobbing his head and begging for mercy, he had already killed people to establish his authority, but he had no intention of killing him again. Besides, the prince had other purposes for these businessmen. He just scolded him casually and asked him to retreat.

After Chen Chongyi retreated in panic, Wang Yudong walked in. He was the accompanying internal security guard of the Internal Security Department, and he would be responsible for establishing an intelligence station in Nagasaki.

"Clean the room."

He said after the Japanese waiter outside the door cleared the hall.

"Shi Jun's sword is so fast!"

"Had to kill!"

"I know!"

Wang Yudong does know that sometimes killing someone is not because the person deserves to die, but because he has to die.

While the two were talking, a burst of gunshots was faintly heard from the port.

"It seems that the Zheng family still fought back."

"The sailors on the ship are all rebellious people, how could they be captured without mercy?"

"If we go to war in such a big way, there will inevitably be some criticism from the Japanese."

Wang Yudong said worriedly.

"The Japanese revere the strong. The stronger I am, the more they revere me. If we can't suppress Xiao Xiao, we will be underestimated by them. Besides..."

Fang Yizhi pursed his lips and said again.

"The Zheng family took advantage of its monopoly on the ocean to monopolize the raw silk trade with Japan. Every year, they imported no less than two to three hundred thousand kilograms of raw silk and made a profit of no less than one million taels. The Zheng family always arrived with full ships and returned empty ships, taking away all the goods.

It’s silver. The Tang merchants in Nagasaki don’t like the Zheng family who monopolize silk goods. Now that the concession has been established, if the Zheng family is still allowed to monopolize silk goods, who is in charge of the concession?”

After a pause, Fang Yizhi said.

"So, no matter what, Zheng Mingkuan must die, and the Zheng family's ships must be confiscated."

Wang Yudong said.

"However, the prince is immigrating to Taiwan now. If the Zheng family counterattacks, it may affect the prince's great cause!"

"Even if we don't take action, Zheng Zhilong will still be dissatisfied. He can bear not sending anyone to Dalian until now, but it's not because he is afraid of the prince. Now that we are in Japan again, how can the Zheng family tolerate the prince cutting off his life?

Cailu, now, it’s not an opportunity for these Zheng family ships to be unpaid!”

"What does your Majesty mean?"

Wang Yudong raised his eyebrows and immediately understood what Fang Yizhi meant. The things on these ships were worth millions of taels of silver!

"If the Zheng family wants to return the things on the ship, they must send someone to Dalian..."

While the two were talking, Nagasaki's Iwami Mamoru hurried over. As soon as they met, he shouted loudly.

"What does envoy mean? Why do you want to kill people for no reason at the port?"

"What's the meaning?"

Fang Yizhi, who had been affable for a few days, suddenly changed his face and sneered.

"According to the treaty just signed, the affairs of the Ming people are decided by the envoys of the Ming Dynasty. What does it mean to adhere to it now?"

Faced with his questioning, Iwami Mamoru suddenly became mute. After signing the treaty, General Tokugawa immediately sent someone to tell him, and even the location selection of the Chinese Concession was handled by him.

But at that time, he never imagined that he would face this situation.

"This this……"

Stuttering, Ishimi Mamoru explained.

"Of course you won't ask if you kill people in the concession, but if your soldiers kill people on ships at the port, I can't help but ask."

"They are Ming people, and the ship is also a Ming ship! Naturally, everything that happens on it is decided by me."

Fang Yizhi's tone became cold.

"Does it mean that one should also take part in Ming Dynasty affairs?"

That makes perfect sense.

Ishimi Mamoru, who was blocked by words, finally just said helplessly.

"Your Majesty's ships belong to the Zheng family. Even the general must give them some respect."

"Follow me, this is the Chinese Concession. Even if the Zheng family comes here, they must abide by the rules here."

Then he laughed again.
