Xinshun 1730

Chapter 357 The goods are available, you can really do whatever you want
Liu Yu was never afraid of the Netherlands sending troops to help Japan fight the war, because it was impossible.

The only worry is whether the Netherlands has long been alert to Dashun, so that Nanyang has prepared.

If so, maybe they will really collect information about Dashun and tell Japan that it is not impossible for Japan to contain Dashun.

If the Netherlands has spread instigation there, it proves that the Netherlands is worried about Dashun's actions, fearing that his strategy of dismembering the Netherlands with the help of France during the war of Austrian succession will be flawed, and fearing that the Dutch will follow suit and shrink back You bastard, for protecting the East India Company and not declaring France...

That's what he's worried about.

Therefore, when Ooka Tadashi mentioned the Dutch at the beginning, Liu Yu was really a little flustered.

But Ooka Tadashi used the Netherlands to deceive him at this time, but let Japan reveal the truth. He can take this opportunity to completely collapse Lin Xinchong and Ooka Tadashi, and find out whether the Dutch have any intentions. aware.

In order to prevent the Dutch from being vigilant, Liu Yu has been controlling his own hands all these years, and has not interfered with anything in Nanyang.

It was not until this time that Mantou went to Gothenburg that he had contact with the Chinese in Nanyang for the first time. The purpose was to endure and not let the Dutch be alert before they were not strong enough to win Nanyang, or at least before the Netherlands declared war on France.

Japan is an excellent intermediary to test the Dutch.

Since Ooka Tadashi is using deceit, he can be sure that the Dutch will never send a fleet to help Japan, but it is limited to this.As for the attitude of the Dutch, it can be deduced by whether the Dutch talked about something with Japan in the storybook.

He has seen through the deceit of the Dutch sending warships, but he is not sure whether Ooka Tadashi's previous words about the Dutch asking Japan to prepare in advance are not deceitful.

Since it can be confirmed that Ooka is loyal and deceitful, he must have a guilty conscience at this time, and it is time to take advantage of his guilty conscience, break through his psychological defense line in one fell swoop, and come up with words.

He leaned back on the chair, knocked on the table and said, "You can listen carefully, let me tell you a story first."

"When the Holy Son of Heaven was still the prince, the Dutch sold tea in the West. At that time, the Western country was called Belgium, and it was the feudal lord of the Austrian King Habsburg. He was sent by him to buy tea in Guangdong. The Dutch Selling the tea at a reduced price means that it takes 20 taels to buy tea in Fujian, but the Dutch only sell it for [-] taels when they transport it to the West.”

"That year, I lost more than a million dollars. I knew I was losing money, but I still sold it at a loss. Why?"

"There are only so many people who drink tea. The Dutch lose money for themselves and squeeze out the rest of the tea, so that they will not dare to sell tea to the West in the future. The Dutch lose millions of dollars in tea sales, but they still win big. It's called a monopoly."

The story isn't true, but it's almost as true as it is false.As soon as an expert makes a move, he will know whether there is any. Tadashi Ooka understood the connotation of this story almost immediately. The Dutch are rich, so they can rely on spending money. They would rather lose money by themselves than maintain their monopoly position.

These things are not mentioned in the Dutch storybook.But when Liu Yu said this, he already believed it [-]% to [-]%.

I secretly calculated an account in my heart. Although Japan also has tea, the Dutch hardly buy it in Japan, because there is no profit and it is not good to drink.

Liu Yu blurted out "losing millions of dollars", and the subtext Ooka Tadashi also understood.

The Dutch would rather lose millions of dollars in order to monopolize tea, which shows that the long-term profits are far better than millions.

I said just now that the Dutch agreed to send troops to help Nagasaki's million-dollar profit. Isn't this just nonsense?
Nagasaki's profit is one million, and the profits of the Dutch and Tang State, just for the tea, they would rather lose millions of money, so how could they turn against Tang State for the mere profit of Nagasaki's million?

He already had a guilty conscience. After listening to Liu Yu casually telling such a story, he only believed Liu Yu [-]% when he was guilty, but now he believed more than [-]% of it.

Liu Yu said again: "In the past, the chaos at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the raging flames of war in China made it impossible for Westerners to get Jiangxi porcelain. Erbang was treacherous, and invaded North Korea in the Wanli year, and got craftsmen. He thought he had the secret of porcelain. It coincided with the end of the Ming Dynasty. During the chaos, Westerners bought more Erguo Imari wares, so that Erguo thought that the ingenuity of porcelain was no less than that of China."

"Let's ask, do the Dutch still buy Chinese porcelain?"

One sentence continued to ridicule, and it also revealed the old account of the invasion of North Korea in the Wanli year.

Ooka Tadashi didn't know about the Dutch monopoly on tea, but he knew very well that the Dutch didn't buy Japanese porcelain these years.

Hearing this, my heart suddenly turned cold, and I wondered if I was really like "a countryman who wants to write "The Tale of Genji""?You only regard a million taels of gold and silver as a huge amount, enough to be dazzling and affect the government of a country, but you don't know the outside world. Is this million taels of trade really worth mentioning?
Is this the difference in vision?
Liu Yu took a peek at Ooka Tadashi's expression and saw that his eyes were wandering, knowing that his psychological defense line had been basically opened by fooling him, and he was about to add more fire at this time.

"One million gold and silver, in the eyes of Er Xiaobang, I'm afraid it's like the Yelang River in Yelang's eyes, thinking that the river is nothing more than that. But I don't know that the profit of a million gold and silver is not enough for a season's trade in Guangdong, let alone Macau, Zhangzhou, Fuzhou, Ningbo, Songjiang? Would the Dutch be willing to hand over tens of millions for the benefit of a mere millions?"

"Arai Shiraishi also knew some Western affairs in the past, but 30 years ago, how can it be compared with today? Western countries, trading in Dashun, there is the East India Company, or those connected by land, there are Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Sweden, Austria, Holland, England, France, Lucia..."

"The goods exported by the Celestial Dynasty include white silk, blue silk, satin, tea, porcelain, rhubarb, and Jinling cloth...all of which are profitable."

"In order to monopolize trade, the Dutch may have lost millions of dollars 30 years ago to seek a monopoly on tea. What's the use of losing millions now? Not to mention the fact that all countries are staring at each other like a pack of wolves. Turn evil and share the benefits."

"The small country of Erbang only produces copper materials. The gold and silver that the Netherlands can earn are mostly silk from the Celestial Dynasty."

"You talk about profit, and I also talk about profit. If you talk about profit, you can count it. The Dutch abandon tens of millions and ask for millions. Could it be that the Dutch are the foster fathers of our country?"

"If you don't believe me, you can wait for the Dutch to come and ask the Dutch whether the Western countries I mentioned are true."

After a few words, Ooka Tadashi's face paled, knowing that what Liu Yu said must be true, after all, his vision was too small because of the lock-up, how did he know that the competition in the outside world was so cruel?Who would have imagined that the British who couldn't get along in Hirado at the beginning are now flourishing in the Dashun trade?

None of this has ever been said by the Dutch.

If we only talk about benefits... As Liu Yu said, how could the Dutch cut off the trade with Dashun for the mere trade of Nagasaki?
Liu Yu's eyes were not blind, and seeing Ooka's expression, he knew that his own analysis had completely broken Ooka's, so he laughed and said: "As for the Dutch style of storytelling, what to be careful about?" Celestial Dynasty, hahahaha... It's even more nonsense. The Holy Son of Heaven was furious when he heard that the foreign students in the Imperial College mentioned the Ryukyu incident, and immediately sent me to Ryukyu to question, is it possible that the Dutch are the prophets?"

"Besides, if the Dutch really warned, how could the Satsuma clan be so arrogant in Ryukyu? How could Kyushu and Shikoku be unprepared?"

He didn't go to Kyushu Island at all this year. He was just talking nonsense at this time, just observing the expressions of these people secretly.

It should be impossible for the Dutch to know about Dashun's mobilization of combat readiness, but if the Dutch are alert to Dashun's future strategic trends, it is almost inevitable that Japan will provoke them.

The shogunate is not a fool. If it was really instigated, how could the shogunate not trust the Dutch just because they met once?

Seeing that the complexions of these people were still ashen, and they didn't even say half a rebuttal, Liu Yu's last heartache was gone.

Talking about morality, benevolence, right and wrong from empty to empty, it is difficult for him to convince others.

But the real benefits, gold and silver, trade, these are all detailed data, he can easily convince others.

Ooka Tadashi recalled all the rebuttals Liu Yu raised, his face was ashen, Liu Yu smiled cheaply: "There are goods, you can really do whatever you want."

Sideways and the officer beside him said: "I guess they can't understand the height."

The officers laughed and laughed and said, "I can't understand, I can't understand."

Now that all the goals of coming to Japan have been achieved, those who should be frightened have been frightened, and those who should be tested have also been tried. I really feel relaxed.

Ooka Chusho used the Dutch to lie to him, proving one thing, the shogunate has been frightened by what he did in Tosa.

If it hadn't been intimidated, the shogunate would have felt that they still had 40 or [-] registered samurai, so they might not be invincible.

But after being frightened, the way of thinking will also turn to how to prevent Liu Yu from fighting "maritime guerrilla warfare", landing everywhere, and inserting the banner of Tian Xing Dao.

That is what the shogunate fears most.

Even if it occupies Kyushu Island, the shogunate can continue to fight, and it can learn from Goujian and try its courage.

But Liu Yu raised the banner of benevolence and righteousness, and opposed the shogunate but not the people, which made it impossible for the shogunate to continue fighting.Squatting in Edo to live on the wages and taste the courage, and let Liu Yu go around agitating?
Presumably it was only then that he used his brains, thinking about naval battles, and using the Dutch to intimidate him.

As for the idea behind it, Liu Yu felt that it might be delaying time, maybe scaring herself, or it might be a dead horse acting as a living horse doctor, but it doesn't matter anymore.

The important thing is that he already knows that the Tosa incident has brought a huge psychological shadow to the shogunate. Even if there is an accident in the land battle on Kyushu Island, he can surely win the bottom line of the expected negotiation by relying on the navy alone.

At this time, there was nothing to talk about. On the contrary, Liu Yu was still afraid that the shogunate would really call Shimadzu's seppuku and send Tokugawa Yoshimune's bed-wetting son to Dashun as a hostage. The name of the teacher.

At that time, it will be troublesome.

At this time, Dagang Zhongxiang had nothing to say, Liu Yu stroked the long sword at his waist, got up and said: "I wanted to talk about benevolence, righteousness and etiquette. There are some things, as long as Erbang agrees, pay tribute faithfully, and vow not to do anything wrong again." If it's against morality, it's all over."

"The so-called soldiers are never tired of deceit. Even if you are deceitful, you are saying that I am an enemy, which means to start a war. Using deceit instead of a military battle is not in line with etiquette."

"Since you are cheating, you have already started a war. I was thinking about it, so as to avoid the misery of the people and the hardships of saving the common people, it would be the best if we can talk about it. Hey, since you started the war, if I don't take it, wouldn't it be the prestige of the heavenly dynasty? The face of the Son of Heaven?"

"This time the war is started by you."

Stretching out his finger, his eyes widened with anger, he was pointing at Tadashi Ooka, shifting the responsibility for firing the first shot to him, and curled up his finger.

"Again, if the two countries are at war, don't kill them. Let's go, let's send you back. Tell your general, remember what I wrote in the letter. I may or may not do that, but I can do it .”

"Send them back. By the way, if you like, I will ask the Dutch to take the initiative to talk to the shogun in a few days, and tell you that the Dutch will not send troops."
