After enduring all the big and small things that have happened during this period, I don’t regret feeling happy physically and mentally! I used my own efforts to complete several big things for the first time. He felt that he had grown up overnight and was reborn. But to be honest, he still felt that he was quite unsure, as if the success of things came from luck.

Perhaps God didn't want Buhui to expand like this. The team of people who sent to Jiuzhou Island to do business sent back the news. The people who seized the muskets of the Chamber of Commerce seemed to have a deep background, and the other party seemed to be soft and hard. After checking along the way, it seemed that they were involved in the dirty filth between forces...

After several negotiations, there was still no result. All methods except force have been used, but the opponent insisted on refusing to release the batch of muskets.

I had no choice but to find me, and I had to make an idea in the end. After thinking about it over and over again, I decided to go there myself.

These weapons are not very valuable, but as Su Xu said, if anyone goes on for a long time, and everyone comes to the sea to step on the head and runs to pinch it, then what business we still do?

This time I decided to take Buhui with me, and Renhai still left it to Shu Guan. I want to go and see who is doing this troublesome guy!

We went out to sea. This time we were riding in Lan's fleet. We were used to the speed of hybrid clutches. When we rode this century-old plunge, we suddenly felt unbearable. But after thinking about it, we were not facing any urgent matters at the moment, so I just thought it was just going out for a trip.

As a result, my mood became much calmer, and Yuan, Mo and Lakshin, who had rushed back, landed just a moment before going to sea, so they continued to board the boat and explained to me in detail the results of their investigation.

"Sir, I can be sure that this matter is related to Hideyoshi Hashiba." Matsu frowned slightly and said softly.

I sucked a mouthful of the "milk tea" prepared according to my recipe with a wooden tube, chewed the fruit particles sucked from the bottom of the milk tea cup with force, and asked with a smile: "Oh! Tell me in detail!"

Kazuki pouted, meaning we were talking about big things, but I was holding milk tea with "not doing my job"! A cute ripples appeared on my little nose, and then smiled and said, "Our goods landed in Sata Port in Kagoshima Prefecture, which is the territory of the Shimazu family."

As he said that, Kazuki pointed to the southernmost position of Kyushu Island and continued: "Since Shimazu Yoshihisa inherited the position of the family governor, he unified the Mikushu Island with a lightning speed and directly confronted the Otomo family in the north. In order to strengthen his own power, Shimazu Yoshihisa has always maintained close contact with the Oda family."

After saying that, Mo Jie continued: "Now that Nobunaga was assassinated, the scheming Shimazu Yoshihisa turned to his most optimistic Hideyoshi Hashiba, after careful consideration, which is an indisputable fact."

After saying that, he took out a piece of paper, which was densely recorded on it. When I took it over and looked at it carefully, it was a conversation between the executive officer of Satagang and the special envoy of the Shimazu family.

The general idea is that Hideyoshi Hashiba suspected that the Bandhai Chamber of Commerce and Shibata Katsuya had close business dealings, while the goods were mainly arms and intelligence! Although there was no definite evidence, recently, according to reports from spies lurking within Shibata Katsuya's forces, the number of firearms in Shibata's army increased significantly, and the source was unknown.

After repeated consideration, Japan does not have the ability to produce muskets so quickly, and the biggest possibility is foreign products. After checking the recent records of entry and exit from various aspects, the largest trade volume is the Blade Sea Chamber of Commerce.

Although it is possible that other chambers of commerce bypass the nearest gate and land directly at Kanazawa Port in Hokuriku, and transport the goods directly to Shibata Katsuya, the major suspicion of the Bandai Chamber of Commerce is still not ruled out.

Therefore, Hashiba Hideyoshi repeatedly instructed Shimazu Yoshihisa that after having the opportunity to block the goods from the Blade Sea Chamber of Commerce, he must increase the review efforts and delay delivery for various reasons to find out the specific whereabouts of the firearm.

In fact, when it comes to this, the matter is completely clear. On the surface, this is a commercial dispute, but the reason behind it is the mutual infighting and guarding against forces.

It can be said that the previous investigation of the few of them was very effective. I probably have figured out the inside story of the matter. The problem I am facing now is how to solve this problem.

Judging from Shimazu Yoshihisa's performance, he made up his mind to make a fuss on the batch of muskets in our chamber of commerce. In other words, he didn't plan to be kind to us. But how should I deal with it?

The negotiation method has been blocked, or it is difficult to open this road. Judging from the current situation, it is the lowest-performance and most difficult road, so I don’t plan to have further contact with Shimazu Yoshihisa for the time being.

Let me talk more thoroughly. If I just go to him to discuss this, it would be like asking others down. If he is staying in the door, will I be inferior to others from now on? The rich man on a small island can challenge me with you? Should I bow to you for a little goods?

That is impossible! It was impossible before! It is impossible now! It is absolutely impossible in the future!

However, directly taking back by force does not seem to be a good choice. Although their naval army's combat effectiveness is not worth mentioning, the land war is quite powerful.

The famous Shimazu four brothers, in addition to the eldest brother of Shimazu Yoshihiro, who are known for their intelligence, Shimazu Yoshihiro, Shimazu Iku, and Shimazu Yoshihiro were both powerful generals in land warfare, especially Shimazu Yoshihiro, who were called "Geshimazu" and "Geshimanko" at that time. They were peerless generals on Kyushu Island who were comparable to Otomo's retainer "Thor" Li Hanamichi Suki.

So, it would be absolutely unwise to fight them on land.

Of course, I have a deeper consideration, that is, for the time being, I don’t want to expose the relationship between me and the fleet led by Chen Kui, now known as the “Ghost Fleet”.

In other words, we still have a relationship that needs protection and must not be made public now. Otherwise, our Knives Chamber of Commerce's forces in Sakai Port will definitely be uprooted, and the efforts of such a long time will be burned out.

So the current situation I am facing is that I cannot be soft or hard; I cannot be beaten or mixed, so how should I deal with it?

From Honshu Island to Kyushu Island is not too far. After leaving the Kyushu Island, I walked south of Shikoku Island and crossed a small distance from the western Pacific region, and then came to the southern end of Kyushu Island. In order to avoid the Shimazu family's eyes and collect more information, I did not land in Sata, but chose Seed Island Juegang, which was across the strait from Sata.

When people mention Seed Island, they will remember that it was the first place where the first rifle from Europe was first introduced to Japan, and Seed Island's past is also widely known. In Menkurasaki, the southernmost end of Seed Island, there is still a "monument of rifles" to this day. Today, Seed Island has become the base for the Japanese space program.

This time I came for the musket, but I landed in the memorial place where the first musket was introduced to Japan. I have to say that this was a wonderful fate.

The population of Seed Island is not large, but almost every household is related to muskets. In other words, a very complete musket production industry chain has been formed on Seed Island. Just like a palm-sized area, it produces more than 40% of the best muskets in Japan.

However, due to resource limitations, compared with the Ming Dynasty, which had a large land and abundant resources, it is still innumerable in quantity.

I walked around their musket village a few times and found out the situation in the name of *. Only then did I know that their order had been scheduled for March of the following year. No wonder Hideyoshi Hashiba could determine in one bite that Shibata Katsuya's muskets were all shipped from outside sea.

Sitting in the hotel in Akaoki Port on Seed Island, Buhui, Jiugui Masato, Yuan, Lakshin and others sipped the sake of local specialties and listened to the conversation between the customers in the hotel.

Today is the third day we have arrived at Seed Island. As a maritime merchant and generous enough, we invited everyone to drink a few meals, so we are already familiar with everyone in the hotel.

And I gradually learned that the most common people in this store were drunks. From time to time, people were "invited" to leave the store by the irritable hotel owner Hu Asheng, but there were always people coming into the store in a constant stream. The guests were divided into different classes on the island, and maybe one of the next table was the island owner and the other was a beggar. This was absolutely not surprising.

After all, this is the only entertainment venue on Seed Island, and it is definitely a favorite among men. If you look up and look down on an island, who will drive whom you will also lower your reputation, right?

Mo and I also reached a consensus, because everyone who works on intelligence knows that there are very few intelligences that can be obtained from meetings, documents, or other formal channels within the enemy!

However, the source of most information is on the dining table, in bars, toilets, and in hotels. As the saying goes, "The spy is around you, and the leak is in an instant." It is often in such an unintentional place. People's casual words will instead sell the most valuable information.

Of course, this also requires some luck. After all, you may not happen to meet an important drunk person every time, and this person happens to have the information you want to know. Not to mention, he still wants to drink and be drunk, just in the excitement point, and express the information you want happily.

So I definitely came here prepared. I divided the confidants into two tables, pretending not to know each other, sitting on two tables in the diagonal corners, drinking my own wine. In this way, we can maintain a certain degree of tactical detour depth, and collect the information we need more widely, right?

After three glasses of wine, a bright red color floated on my face, and my eyes stared at me, as if water could drip out.

I was a little embarrassed by her, so I could only talk about business matters. At this moment, the owner Hu Asheng walked to me with a plate, put down a plate of nattoes, bent down and whispered to me: "Just entering the door, sitting at the second table, the local marching Wu Youmon!"

Perseverance is the name of the consul in Japan, responsible for the administrative work of a place, and it is also the highest-level official of Seed Island that I can contact through normal channels. That's why I have been waiting here for three days and finally waited for this expected figure.

I took another sip of sake and was thinking in my heart how to get online with Wu Youmon. While hesitating, a violent movement suddenly came from the other side of the hotel! The fight started?

When I looked up, it was Lan at the table who grabbed a man's wrist and threw him to the ground. He stepped on his back with one foot and asked viciously: "Do you want your hand? Say it!"

I forgot about it in confusion, and the Nine Ghosts Masayoshi said to me: "These drunks have been staring at Lan. I guess they have drunk some wine now and went up to touch her, but they were beaten up by Lan!"

I nodded, wishing to do this. After a week of scanning, the drunkard seemed to be quite good. As he was knocked down, he stood up suddenly seven or eight drinkers rolled up their arms and sleeves, and looked like they wanted to come up to help.

When I looked at it from the corner of my eye, Wu Youmon had already put down his wine glass and looked at the drunkards who were making trouble opposite him. He seemed to want to say something, but he still didn't speak. It was probably because he had subdued the big man when he saw Arashi taking action, and it was inconvenient for a moment to speak!

Seeing this state, I laughed secretly in my heart. I was really sleepy and encountered a pillow. I guess Lan and the others had this idea, so they suddenly started to take action and knocked this guy to the ground as soon as they came up.
Chapter completed!
