A fleet of ten ships on the sea, sailing towards the north.The fleet left the port of Tamsui and entered the East China Sea, where it soon encountered wind and waves, and four or five hundred tons of fortune ships swayed on the surface of the sea with roaring winds and huge waves.Wang Jiaqin was swayed and staggered, vomiting a mess, even Zhou Hezhi, who had been sailing on the sea for a long time, couldn't stand it.Fortunately, the fleet still relied on its experience to reach the Ryukyus in the wind and waves, and stopped in the harbor to avoid the storm.After the wind and waves subsided, the fleet continued to sail, and after more than ten days, it finally arrived at the port of Nagasaki, Japan.At the time of China's sea ban, Japan had also implemented a decades-long sea ban, leaving only Nagasaki for foreign trade.At this time, the ship docked, and there was a group of Japanese warriors on the dock, surrounded by two people, and said a little to the ship."
General Zhou, what did they say?"
Wang Jiaqin couldn't help asking.Zhou Hezhi smiled slightly: "It's nothing, it's an official of the Tang General Affairs and Wind Service sent by the Nagasaki Governor of the Wa Kingdom."
Later, they will board the ship to inquire about our origins, the goods transported, and some information about the Ming Dynasty and the surrounding situation. ”Wang Jiaqin frowned and said, "They also want to ask about the Ming Dynasty." ”Zhou Hezhi nodded, "It is said that the Japanese Kingdom was closed back then, because the Dutch reported to the shogunate the Spaniards and Portuguese who came to Japan first in order to monopolize the trade with the Japanese Kingdom, saying that they intended to invade the Japanese Kingdom.However, although the Japanese people were forbidden to the sea, they would ask about the outside news from the merchant ships in Nagasaki, which was called wind storytelling.The news I heard from the Dutch was called Lan Zhifeng to tell the story, and the news I heard from us was called Tang Zhifeng to tell the story.These wind stories, after being sorted out, will be sent to Edo. ”Wang Jiaqin said: "I didn't expect the Japanese people to be so alert. ”At this time, two Japanese people in kimonos had already boarded the boat from the board, nodded politely and bowed, and then stood up straight and asked, "Contemptible Kato Taka, dare to ask Your Excellency's name, why did you come to Nagasaki?"
”Zhou Hezhi smiled and said: "Kato-kun, this is Mr.
Wang, the big showcase of Huaxing Company, and the contemptible Zhou Hezhi is the leader of the fleet guards." ”"Wang Sang, Zhou Sang, what kind of goods are you transporting?"
Takashi Kato is routine.Zhou Hezhi continued: "Kato-kun, the shipment is tea, porcelain, and books, and the company is going to purchase a batch of raw silk, knives, and fans after selling them in Nagasaki. ”"Shuffle!"
Kato Ying nodded, no longer asking about the goods, but began to inquire, "Zhou Sang, I heard that the Tatars have attacked the Yangtze River and entered Fujian, right?"
”Zhou Hezhi waved his hand, "Kato-kun's news is outdated.Not long ago, the Ming Dynasty defeated the Qing army in Fujian, annihilated more than 100,000 Qing troops, and killed the Manchu prince, and the situation has changed. ”"Si Guoyi!"
When Kato Taka heard that the Ming army had defeated the Qing army, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Da Ming is worthy of being Da Ming!"
”At that moment, Kato Takashi learned some things from Zhou Hezhi again, and was having a good conversation, when a Dutch merchant ship outside the harbor slowly drove into the harbor.Seeing this, Kato Ying immediately nodded and bowed again, "Wang Sang, Zhou Sang, farewell." ”Wang Jiaqin and Zhou Hezhi also saw the Dutch merchant ship sailing into the harbor, their faces were a little unnatural, Zhou Hezhi hurriedly said: "Kato-kun, please, I will come to visit later." ”Kato nodded, and then led the samurai to the dock to wait for the Dutch merchant ship to dock.At this time, Wang Jiaqin looked at the Dutch flag fluttering on the mast of the merchant ship, and his face showed a melancholy color, "The red-haired ghost is also here!"
”Zhou Hezhi said: "Sir, let's get off the boat first!"
”At that moment, Wang Jiaqin left people to watch the ship, and then got off the boat, after inspection, left the dock, and did not go to the castle town, there was a Chinese wearing Ming Dynasty costumes, leading a group of Japanese samurai over, and asked: "But Mr.
Wang, General Zhou?"
”Wang Jiaqin and Zhou Hezhi nodded, and the person introduced himself to be Chen Yonghua, the business of Huaxing Company in Nagasaki, and after receiving the company's letter, he had been waiting at the port for more than half a month.When the next group of people followed Chen Yonghua, went to the town of Chengxia, along the way you can see the customs of the Wa Kingdom, there are shops on both sides of the street, the small Si in the store, when you see the guests, you will nod your waist, and when you meet people, you will be "Oh Ha waist, his aunt is dead", so polite that you can't do it.This made Wang Jiaqin, who came to Japan for the first time, have a good impression of Japan.Chen Yonghua introduced as he walked: "Nagasaki is a large port of the Japanese Kingdom, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the Tokugawa Shogunate, and the commerce is prosperous, and there are nearly 10,000 Ming merchants here. ”Wang Jiaqin looked up and saw that the shop signs in the streets and alleys were full of men, but some of the meanings were already different from those of the Central Plains.At this time, everyone walked all the way, and Chen Yonghua took a few people to a hotel, "It's not early, Mr.
Wang and General Zhou are running all the way, let's rest for one night, and tomorrow I will bring the Ming merchants from Nagasaki to visit." ”Wang Jiaqin nodded, looked up, and saw that the inn was not called an inn, but Kaga Miya.The group entered the inn, and the Japanese woman in the kimono walked in small steps and arranged a room for them.At this time, Chen Yonghua escaped with five taels of silver, paid the house money, and then said goodbye and left, indicating that he had come early.Wang Jiaqin, Zhou Hezhi and more than a dozen guards accompanying them, a total of more than 20 people, almost filled the inn."
Sir, rest well, I'll call you in the morning!"
Zhou Hezhi smiled mysteriously at Wang Jiaping and entered a house.Everyone was running around on the sea, and they were indeed very tired and tired, so they each entered the room under the guidance of the lower woman wearing a kimono, there was no bed in the room, and the lower girl took small steps, opened the cabinet and took out a quilt, and spread it on the tatami mat, Wang Jiaqin knew that the Japanese were actually sleeping on the ground.At this time, the lower girl brought a wooden bucket and poured hot water into it.Wang Jiaqin was tired at sea, and he really wanted to take a bath, and was about to tell the Japanese woman to go out, but the lower woman in the kimono suddenly loosened her belt, and actually stripped naked, kneeling naked, and wanted to start undressing Wang Jiaqin.Wang Jiaqin was shocked, where did he think that there was such a service in an ordinary hotel, it was really insulting, and it was extremely obscene, and he hurriedly drove the woman out.Wang Jiaqin soaked in the wooden barrel tiredly, and the warm boiling water made him fall asleep in a daze, and at this moment, there was an indescribable sound in the next room.There is no soundproofing effect in Japanese wooden houses, and the sounds on both sides of the left and left come one after another, Wang Jiaqin never thought that only five taels of silver could still provide such a service, and he couldn't help but marvel at the low prices in Japan.This night, Wang Jiaqin couldn't sleep, he slept very unsteadily, and he was more tired than if he hadn't slept at all.
