Chapter 328 The sky ship visits, clearing the demons and throwing the barbarians (please order, please vote)

Outside Nagasaki Port, Japan.

This port city is currently the only port in which Japan is open to the outside world. It is not completely open, but only allows merchants from the Dutch country and merchants from the Qing Dynasty, which are closed to the country, to enter Hong Kong for trade.

Although the Qing Dynasty was closed to the country and claimed that it was impossible to enter the sea, in fact, the merchant ships of the Qing Dynasty could still go to sea to do business in many places. The Nagasaki Port in Japan is a place where mariners in China are often visited by China and Fujian.

However, it is not easy to trade in Nagasaki. It has to accept the dual supervision of the Qing government and the Nagasaki Pursuit Office in Japan! The Qing Dynasty must have the Guangdong Customs, Fujian Customs, Zhejiang Customs, and Jiang Customs to go to sea to hold the card issued by Nagasaki Pursuit Office in Japan to enter Nagasaki Port. The card is indispensable, and the card is relatively easy to get, but it is just to spend some money to bribe. However, the card of Nagasaki Pursuit Office in Japan is very difficult to get. This is because Japan has been a deficit in China-Japan trade for a long time. The gold, silver and copper that the country has finally dug out of China through Sino-Japanese trade, flowing to China.

Therefore, Japan has long been closed to the country and restricted Sino-Japanese trade. They began to lock the country after the fall of the Tang Dynasty in China, until Japan founded in 1854. Of course, Japan has not been locked for nearly a thousand years, because Japan also experienced two or three troubled times during this period, and the sky was dark and the earth was dark, so no one cared about locking the country.

Although Japan has been knocked down by the black ship, the lockdown order has not been cancelled yet.

However, Japan's national lockdown order could not stop Hong Daquan, the missionary envoy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Luo Xueyan could turn on and off by himself. Now Jiang Customs and Zhejiang Customs are under the direct jurisdiction of his Nanyang Minister's Office.

As for the letter of Nagasaki in Japan, as the honor of the ministers of the South China Sea, how difficult it is to get a piece of it? Nagasaki in Japan has always been to "recognize the cards but not people". As long as you hold the letter of Nagasaki, you can enter Hong Kong.

So on December 6, 1853, the steam paddlefish armed merchant ship "Holy Angel" from Shanghai was emitting black smoke and appeared in the sight of Zheng Ganfu, the Tang Tongshi of Nagasaki.

This Nagasaki businessman, who is in his forties, has a gentle smile on his fair face. He has a very prominent Chinese ancestor named Zheng Zhilong, the father of Zheng Chenggong, the prince of Yanping, the country's surname, and the richest man in East Asia (or perhaps the richest man in the world) at the intersection of the Ming and Qing Dynasties!

Unfortunately, Zheng's richest man's billions of furniture were defeated by himself by his own ability, and it was passed on to the ancestors of Zheng Ganfu's branch, namely Zheng Zhirong's second son, Takawa Qizaemon Zheng Zongming. He didn't have much left.

However, the lean camel is bigger than a horse after all! Although the wealthy Zheng’s wealthy family has not been passed down, the descendants of Tagawa Shizaemon Zheng Zongmei,

But he was awarded a hereditary position of "Tang Tongshi" and was employed by Nagasaki for generations to deal with merchants from the Qing Dynasty. This is a fat man!

"Teacher Zheng" from the Nagasaki Practice Institute in Japan also needs to be taken!

"Teacher Zheng" If you don't take it, how can you take it for Nagasaki? If they don't take it, how can you take it for the general to hire people, and how can the old middlemen in the shogunate take it? If you don't take it, how can "Teacher Zheng" protect the fat people from generation to generation?

However, there are obviously fewer Qing businessmen from Nagasaki to do business this year than in previous years! I heard that because something happened to the Qing Dynasty, the Christians in the Qing Dynasty rebelled and established a Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and cut them all the way from Guangxi to Nanjing!

A few months ago, he actually seized the Nanjing city that the country had not yet captured, and then swept across the south and north of the Yangtze River...\n.\n.\n.\n.\n. As the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was about to draw the river in the Qing Dynasty, it was no longer the Huai River.

Due to the chaos in Jiangnan, there were naturally fewer silk, porcelain, tea and iron products sent to Japan than in previous years. "Teacher Zheng" took less.

The Nagasaki who is above "Commissioner Zheng" pursues Tadashi Mizuno and refuses to take less... So Zheng Ganfu and his wife's uncle Wu Yongzang and his younger brother Zheng Jiangfu took the abacus beads to calculate. This year's Tang Tongshi seems to be a loss!

And next year... it will be even less optimistic.

Because this summer, the "black ship" of the American foreigners broke back to Edo Bay and demanded that the Tokugawa shogunate open port trade!

If this is opened, Japan will be able to trade everywhere, and the number of merchants coming to Qing Dynasty will definitely be reduced. Where can I get the money to go for the business of Nagasaki Tangtong?

In addition, the shogunate was very hostile to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Because the shogunate has always been hostile to Catholics, an important reason why the Tokugawa Shogunate was closed down was that it did not allow foreigners to spread Catholicism.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom also heard that it worshipped God, or did God pass his son down to establish the country? If he wins the world of China, would he not be able to preach to Japan in the future?

So there are rumors in Nagasaki that the shogunate would ban merchants from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom from coming to Hong Kong for trade.

?

In short, this Nagasaki Tangtong incident is becoming increasingly difficult to do!

When Zheng Ganfu was in a rush of thoughts, a man next to him who was dressed as a warrior suddenly said "".

Zheng Ganfu looked back at the man: "Wu Sang, what did you find?"

Like Zheng Ganfu and Zheng Sang, this "Wu Sang" is both Chinese in Japan and his ancestral home is from southern Fujian. His ancestors were engaged in business in Nagasaki in the late Ming Dynasty, and they worked for two or three hundred years, becoming a "trading immortal". However, he always felt that Japan's world was not very stable, so he became a samurai warrior two years ago and obtained the identity of a samurai warrior.

Wu Yongzang Wu Sang pointed to the "Holy Angel" and said, "Zheng Sang, look, the Tang ship entering the port today is a steam paddle steamer... It's very rare!"

Zheng Ganfu looked up and frowned and said, "Wu Sang, although the Qing Dynasty has been very chaotic in recent years, their progress is also obvious!

I heard that General Luo Xueyan from Shanghai has launched a new army, implemented new policies, and made progress and courageous. It has completely changed Shanghai and the surrounding counties! This steam Tang ship may have been sent by Lord Luo Xueyan!"

"Ya Xi!" Wu Yongzang nodded slightly and said with anticipation, "I wonder if Japan will be the same as the Qing Dynasty...\n.:...Not right!"

"What's wrong again?"

"Zheng Sang, look at what embroidered on the raised yellow flag on the Tang ship?"

When Zheng Ganfu Dingqing saw it, she was shocked: "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom...\n.\nBaga, this is the Tang ship of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!"

Just when "Zheng Sang" and "Wu Sang" were shocked, the sailors on the "Holy Angel" had quickly broken down and the springboard was put down. Hong Daquan and James Goff had already changed into the official uniforms of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

One of them is the special envoy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the other is the captain of the Wu Palace of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. They are all officials of the Heavenly Kingdom with organization!

He walked off the boat one by one, followed by a group of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom soldiers carrying foreign guns!

Zheng Ganfu and Wu Yongzang were stunned by the shore.

This dress is obviously not from the Qing Dynasty! And there is also a foreigner...\n. Why are there foreigners in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?

However, the two of them quickly met and bowed to Hong Daquan. Then they spoke fluent Chinese.

"You are not a Qing businessman. What kind of work do you do?"

"You need to follow the signs of the office when entering Nagasaki Port. Do you have any?"

Hong Daquan held his fists at the two Japanese Chinese with great momentum: "I am the Minister of Rites of the Prince of Wu's Mansion in Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and I am the ambassador of the plenipotentiary power of Hong Daquan. According to the imperial edict of the Heavenly King, King Wu's King ordered him to envoy Japan. If there is any important matter, please tell the Japanese general to win the barbarians...\n.\n.. Please go and report to the local officials of Nagasaki to know!"

"Your, yours are officials of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? Ours has no diplomatic relations with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

..\n..\n.\n.\n"Zheng Ganfu dared not receive officials from China casually, no matter whether they were from the Qing Dynasty or the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Japan did not receive them.

Because Japan has not yet founded!

"Qin, I have said that if there is something important to tell the Japanese general to know about it!" Hong Daquan Masarong said, "This matter concerns the survival of Japan and the fate of the Tokugawa family. If it is delayed, you, a minor official, cannot afford to take care of it!"

What? The survival of Japan? The fate of the Tokugawa family?

Zheng Ganfu and Wu Yongzang were both shocked.

This may cause you to have a septum...\n.\n.\n.\n.\n.\n It hurts!

But if they just report to Tadashi Mizuno, they might even have to cut off their stomachs...\n.\n.\n.\n. The officials of the Nagasaki Prayer Institute were not careful when dealing with foreign negotiations and cut their belly a lot!

"This lord," Wu Yongzang asked with a bitter face at this time, "Can you tell me, what happened?"

"Of course!" Hong Daquan said, "Qing Yao has formed a four-nation alliance with Britain, the United States and France, and is preparing to send troops together to oppress the Tokugawa shogunate to start a country and sell the country...\n.\n.\n.\n. Is this a major issue related to the survival of Japan and the survival of Tokugawa's family?"
