Chapter 199 Target Hizen
Liu Xinqi stood on Dabai's back and saw Zong Laimao standing on the deck of Guanzhou, waving to him.Commander Dabai approached the Guan ship, and Liu Xinqi jumped directly onto the Guan ship deck.

"Do you want to follow us to hunt big fish?" Liu Xinqi asked Zong Laimao.

Liu Xinqi had not allowed the Japanese on the island to follow the whaling fleet before, because whaling actually did not have much technical content and could easily be copied.

However, Liu Xinqi himself also knew that precisely because of the lack of technical content, this technology could not block the Japanese people for long. It was only a matter of time before they saw and learned it.

Liu Xinqi has already had a bad idea about this matter. When he becomes famous at the end of this year, he will create a group of sea beasts, including blue whales, killer whales and various large sharks, to specifically destroy the waters of Japan except for the Xinghan Alliance. All whaling operations made whaling exclusive to the Xinghan League.

"If you allow me, I wouldn't mind following you around." Zong Laimao crawled along the pole.

"I won't allow it." Liu Xinqi insisted on the principle of procrastinating for a day, and resolutely did not allow the Japanese to follow suit.

"Tell me, what's the matter here?"

"I heard that you have arrived with twelve large ships. I wonder what you plan to do?" Soraimo asked.

"We don't need to inform you about our own affairs, but since we have been cooperating well recently, I will tell you." Liu Xinqi replied: "This is our new force, supporting us in developing Hizen Country, and even the entire Saikaidō." Sea trade.”

The Zong family has been trying its best to meet the Xinghan League's trading needs recently. All the shipbuilding materials it has reserved are sold to the Xinghan League for repairing ships. It also uses Zong Laimao, the first-ranked heir, as the liaison between the two parties. Therefore, Liu Xinqi did not hide anything from him and told him frankly.

"You have so many ships, are you going to kill them all?" Soraimo asked.

"If the transaction can be carried out smoothly and without incident, who would be willing to fight and kill? I called for support so that I would no longer be bullied by the pirates, so that those blind rats would not dare to cause trouble, and I won't take the initiative to stir up trouble." Liu Xinqi replied.

The Zong family must be connected with the pirates of Hizen, and they believe that what they say will definitely be passed on to the pirates of Hizen country through the Zong family, so Liu Xinqi said more and expressed his position by the way.

"I understand." Zong Laimao nodded.

"As the saying goes: 'You must not have the intention of harming others, but you must have the intention of guarding against others.' I just don't want to be besieged by a large wave of pirates again and let the young men of our Xinghan League sacrifice themselves in this foreign country. We have come all the way from Deng. The Zhou ship is here just for trade. Moreover, trading is beneficial to me and the local forces in Hizen. If you have money, everyone will make money. I hope they can understand." Liu Xinqi added.

"Our clan is willing to send someone to help you enter the Hizen Kingdom smoothly." Zong Laimao finally couldn't explain the purpose of coming this time.

Liu Xinqi was surprised when he heard that people in this world are all without benefits, so only people who do good deeds will be called saints, because ordinary people can't do it.

"How to help?"

"We will send someone as an intermediary to help you contact the local forces in Hizen Country, and we will do our best to help you successfully complete your trade in Hizen Country." Muneyarimo explained. "Is there such a good thing? What do you want?" Liu Xinqi asked.

"The main thing is to help you as a friend. It would be better if you could give us the exclusive sales rights of big fish meat." Zong Laimao replied: "Just like this time, you will sell the excess big fish meat to Our clan, we will give you food in exchange."

"It seems that you have made a lot of money selling big fish recently." Liu Xinqi said, and then raised an objection:

"You only said to do your best to help us, but you didn't promise to help us complete the trade smoothly. This is equivalent to opening your mouth in exchange for the exclusive right to sell big fish. How do you want me to agree?"

"You can give us the sales right after successfully completing the Hizen country trade." Zong Laimao took another step back.

"Can the 'Matsuura Party' of Hizen Country promise you?" Liu Xinqi was confused.

After nearly a month of interrogation of those pirate captives, the Xinghan Alliance no longer looked at Japan, Saikaidō and Hizen in disdain.

Hizen Province is currently divided into eleven prefectures, namely: Kie-gun, Yoshifu-gun, Sangen-gun, Kanzaki-gun, Saga-gun, Ojo-gun, Matsuura-gun, Kitsuma-gun, Fujitsu-gun, Hiki-gun and Takarai-gun.

Since Hizen is located in very advantageous geographical conditions and is at the intersection of Japan, Goryeo, and the East Asian continent, a pirate group represented by the Matsuura Party was formed very early. Among them, the Matsuura Party was the most powerful and controlled the largest Matsuura County. Including the Goto Islands.

There are two vassal cities in the area controlled by the "Matsuura Party": Hirado and Karatsu.There were only five feudal cities in the eleven counties of Hizen Kingdom, and the Matsuura Party occupied two of them.

Matsuura County is located in the west and north of Hizen Province, and is basically the gateway to Hizen Province. Maritime traders from East Asia and the Koryo Peninsula must pass through Matsuura if they want to go to other counties in Hizen Province, or to other countries and counties on the east coast of Japan. Party controlled areas.

The Hirado Castle, which the Xinghan League is going to go to this time, is located in Matsuura County, just south of Tsushima Island, 160 miles away.

"We can try to negotiate. I believe that even if our Zong family fails to negotiate, you can still find a way without delaying the matter." Zong Laimao replied: "Matsuura County is very close to Tuima Island, but you have spent more than half a month. Not even a single ship can pass by, wait until support arrives, I think you can be sure that the powerful dragon will overwhelm the local snake."

Liu Xinqi chuckled: "The Matsuura Party is not a local snake, it's the Japanese country. I'm not afraid to tell you. As for the remaining early boats of the Matsuura Party, if he dares to do it again, I can make them miserable."

He said something tough first, and then agreed to Soraimo's proposal:
"Of course, it's best if you can't afford weapons. I agree to let you negotiate first. Our request is very simple: we need a place to establish a garrison, and it is best to sell us some docks at the port. If you can successfully negotiate, we will have a lot of success in the future. The fish and meat will be exclusively sold by your Ma Zong family, but the price you buy the meat will be subject to the market. If I find that your retail price is more than double the purchase price from our Xinghan League, the agreement between us will be void."

When Zong Laimao heard Liu Xinqi's promise, he immediately became happy: "That's natural. A win-win situation can only last long. Those who eat alone will not live long."

Zong Laimao's unintentional sarcasm made Liu Xinqi a little nervous, because of the "whaling" incident, Liu Xinqi planned to eat alone.
