Optimus One Pillar of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 208 Chapter [-]

In the Japanese country of this era, Oda Nobuhide could be regarded as a big shot in the world, and his troops had long since broken away from the petty fighting of the county brigade.

However, his current territory is only his hometown of Owari, the Osaka area near Owari, and the suburbs of Kyoto, the current capital of Japan.The actual area of ​​​​the control area is about [-] square kilometers, which is almost an ordinary prefecture in the Ming Dynasty.

It's just a government-level armed force, so the weapons and equipment he needs are just a drop in the bucket for Wang Daoqiuna's cargo capacity of five ships and three thousand materials.

Finally, Wang Daoqiu gave Oda Nobuhide a thousand swords, a thousand pairs of bows and arrows, a thousand matchlocks, three thousand spears, [-] iron feather arrows, and [-] barrels of gunpowder.Oda Nobuhide was so moved that he knelt in front of Wang Daoqiu and knelt non-stop.And he was very generous and asked his men to carry boxes of gold and silver onto Wang Daoqiu's ship, indicating that he had a mine at home and he had no shortage of gold and silver.

Rich man!Such friends are worth making.So after Oda Nobuhide presented him with boxes of gold and silver, Wang Daoqiu became more and more pleased with him.And taking advantage of the situation, he made a request to lease the port.

As soon as Oda Nobuhide heard that Wang Daoqiu wanted to rent the port, he told Wang Daoqiu almost without thinking that Wang Daoqiu only needed to leave some land on the Osaka coastline for the local fishing boats to dock, and the rest was all Give it to Wang Daoqiu.

In addition, as for the part of the concession that goes deep into the interior, Oda Nobuhide said that he would give all the land within five miles of the coastline to Wang Daoqiu.

Oda Nobuhide was so generous that Wang Daoqiu wondered if Oda Nobuhide was making fun of himself!Turn around and ask yourself: "Really, are you kidding?"

Then he replied: "You were the one who made the joke first."

It’s so unreal!After all, this is Osaka Port, which in later generations will be the second largest metropolitan area in Japan after Tokyo!

As for the land prices in Osaka in later generations, and the land Oda Nobuhide gave him now, the Forbes list is still inappropriate, with the wealth of the top [-] richest people added together!

There are too many, too many, I dare not accept this, I dare not accept this!Thinking of the terrifying land prices in Osaka in later generations, Wang Daoqiu felt guilty.He hurriedly told Oda Nobuhide, "Uncle, don't be impulsive. Don't be impulsive. We should all be careful about such a big matter."

Faced with Oda Nobuhide's boldness, Wang Daoqiu was so frightened that he lost his composure.Seeing Wang Daoqiu's panic, Oda Nobuhide was also a bit confused and confused.He really didn't know what the land on the seaside could be used for other than to park fishing boats.

After all, there are no decent seawalls in Japan in the [-]th century.Whenever typhoons or earthquakes cause large tides, the sea water will rush up to the shore, soaking all the land along the coast with salty sea water, forming saline-alkali land, making it impossible to grow crops.

And isn’t land that cannot grow crops just a piece of waste land?When Wang Daoqiu gave the waste land to Wang Daoqiu, he seemed to be too polite and did not dare to accept it.This is so strange that Nobuhide Oda is now suspicious. Didn't Ouyang Junqing translate his words clearly to Wang Daoqiu just now?

Suspecting that Ouyang Junqing had not translated his words clearly, Oda Nobuhide looked at Ouyang Junqing with suspicion.This time, Ouyang Junqing was a little confused again.

The three of them were so embarrassed. For a while, Wang Daoqiu was the first to regain his clarity and understood that the thinking of the Japanese today, like the people of the Ming Dynasty, is based on a small-scale peasant economy based on farming.In their eyes, good land is farmland that can produce high yields, while these salt-alkali lands on the seashore that have been soaked by sea water are worthless wasteland.

Understand that in different eras, people have different perceptions.So Wang Daoqiu gave in, and Ouyang Junqing told Oda Nobuhide that he couldn't get that much land.As for this leased coastline?According to the distance drawn by Oda Nobunaga just now, the distance into the interior is also five miles.

After Ouyang Junqing's translation, Oda Nobuhide suddenly felt that he had lost face when he heard that Wang Daoqiu only wanted five miles of coastline and had to pay rent.He mumbled and danced and said that he was giving it to a friend. If Wang Daoqiu wanted to pay the rent, he would look down on him.Wang Daoqiu had to get more, otherwise he would commit seppuku.

Oda Nobuhide was too enthusiastic, which made Wang Daoqiu a little embarrassed. In the end, Ouyang Junqing intervened.Wang Daoqiu felt very guilty and accepted the ten-mile coastline and five miles inland, a total of [-] square kilometers of port land.Moreover, these lands were donated to Wang Daoqiu by the Oda family, and belonged to Wang Daoqiu personally, there is no such thing as rent.Of course, in order to block the mouths of future generations, and prevent future Japanese bricklayers from distorting that this was Wang Daoqiu's use of strong boats and guns to force Oda Nobuhide to "send".These lands should be identified as being seized by Wang Daoqiu's Ming army, rather than voluntary gifts.

In order to avoid these possible legal troubles in the future, Wang Daoqiu also deceived Oda Nobuhide. In order to repay Oda Nobuhide for giving land, Wang Daoqiu gave Oda Nobuhide [-] pieces of cotton, [-] pieces of silk and [-] kilograms of tea as a return gift. .

In addition, this time the "friendship" between the two parties also required the Japanese king to personally write a congratulatory message as a witness, and have it engraved on a stone tablet and set up in Osaka Port.

After discussing all this, Wang Daoqiu smiled unkindly.Wang Daoqiu's gift in return for Oda Nobuhide's land gift this time was almost the same as the land price of the seaside saline-alkali land in this era.

But in the maritime age and the highly developed industrialization era, there are five kilometers of Osaka deep-water port coastline and [-] square kilometers of coastal port area.Ten thousand bolts of cotton cloth, three thousand bolts of silk, and five hundred kilograms of tea were taken away, and the Japanese would definitely faint in the toilet.

However, Wang Daoqiu asked the Japanese king to "endorse" this "friendship". I believe that no matter how heartbroken the Japanese people are, they will recognize it.Unless they really don't intend to let the Japanese king's family continue to be the "mascot" there from generation to generation.

Wang Daoqiu was so bad. He used his time-traveling prophet to buy lows in the Japanese country hundreds of years in advance.So bad, so bad!However, Oda Nobuhide didn't think so of Wang Daoqiu's evil nature. The more he looked at Wang Daoqiu, the more he admired him.Wang Daoqiu is a man of great righteousness and magnanimity, and he does not take advantage of others. He is worthy of being ranked sixth in the Heavenly Kingdom. He is so great that I must follow him for the rest of my life!

Okay, so Oda Nobuhide was fooled by Wang Daoqiu into Fan Wei.Moreover, Oda Nobunaga's brain damage completely affected his eldest son, Oda Nobunaga, who was called "the big fool of Owari" by the Japanese.As a result, after Oda Nobunaga took over, like his labor paper Oda Nobuhide, he firmly believed that "Papa Wang" loved me, and organized Japanese people without complaint or regret to dedicate his youth to Wang Daoqiu's "world peace" Offer children and grandchildren.

Of course, these are all things for later. At this time, Oda Nobuhide gave these five kilometers of coastline and [-] square kilometers of port area to Wang Daoqiu.Wang Daoqiu ordered all cargo ships to dock quickly to unload their cargo, and built a simple market on the newly acquired land to trade civilian commodities with the Japanese first.

So busy, when Fujiwara Takumi brought a royal edict from Kyoto, stamped with the Japanese king's seal, inviting the Ming Dynasty envoys and Ming troops to "visit" in Kyoto.

When Wang Daoqiu saw the Japanese king's imperial edict, he had a hard time holding back and didn't spit it out directly in front of Fujiwara Takumi.Because the seal that the Japanese king affixed to the royal edict was the "Seal of the King of Han Weinu", which was the seal given to the Japanese state by Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Take the royal seal granted by the Eastern Han Dynasty and stamp it as a credential for the envoys of the Ming Dynasty. Are you a vassal of the Ming Dynasty or a vassal of the Eastern Han Dynasty?If this happened within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, if those local officials from ethnic minority groups dared to do this, they would definitely be exterminated by the Ming Dynasty court.

After all, if the native officials of the minority ethnic groups in the Ming Dynasty dare to do this, they are respecting the Eastern Han Dynasty and denying the legitimacy of the Ming Dynasty!If that's the case, the Ming Dynasty will not destroy your clan, then where will the Ming Dynasty's face be?
This Japanese king is really a country bumpkin. He has been begging for food for a long time. He really has no way of thinking like a national leader!Wang Daoqiu was speechless that he would even make such a serious diplomatic mistake.

When such a bad diplomatic incident occurred, Wang Daoqiu should have sternly reprimanded the Japanese representative and asked the Japanese king to explain and apologize in writing.

But considering the Japanese king's family, since the Japanese chaos and the Warring States Period.Generations of Japanese kings have been beggars. The Japanese kings and their families have to squat on the roadside with a broken bowl to eat, let alone learn from the next generation.

After the Japanese Kingdom entered the Warring States Period, generations of Japanese kings were accustomed to begging for food since childhood. How could they understand this diplomacy?Wang Daoqiu expressed deep sympathy for this, and was embarrassed to bully his people.

So Wang Daoqiu could only point out this mistake to Fujiwara Takumi alone without anyone else.He also asked Fujiwara Takumi to wait, but officials from the Ming Dynasty Honglu Temple who could not follow the fleet said that the Japanese king's imperial edict was stamped with the official seal of the Eastern Han Dynasty.It is said that the Japanese king's royal decree was lost on the way, and he would ask the Japanese king to issue a new one when he arrived in Kyoto.
