"Brother Sakai, we haven't met for quite some time since we signed the Edo Treaty, right?" Zheng Zhilong poured a glass of wine for Sakai Tadaokaku.

He had already heard about Da Yu'er making him angry and had a heart attack, and he couldn't help but feel funny.

"Since your Kyushu army knocked on the gate, my health has been getting worse every year. Now it's less than fifty, but I feel like I'm already a seventy-year-old man." Tadaoka Sakai said weakly.

"A person who can still drink is not like a seventy-year-old man." Zheng Zhilong clinked glasses with Tadao Sakai.

"By the way that little girl came from, why are you all alarmed in the Beiyang fleet? It was the first time I came to Edo City. I'm afraid her identity is extraordinary." Tadao Sakai didn't understand this and always felt unwilling to accept it.

As for that waste brother, if he gets involved in this matter, he will be ruined.

"Nothing can be told. Our Beiyang Fleet came to Edo Castle, just wanting to know what Edo Castle looks like from the sea." Zheng Zhilong shrugged.

"Even Brother Zheng, you're perfunctory to me like this." Tadao Sakai knew that most of the time he could not ask anything from Zheng Zhilong.

"Why do you have to be persistent with Brother Sakai? You will naturally know when you should."

"I'm just afraid that it's too late to know." Tadao Sakai shook his head.

"Not mentioning this matter, the times have changed now, and you still want to work for the shogunate? Although you live a very comfortable life in front of the landlords, even if our Kyushu army does not intervene, they will soon be pushed down by farmers and merchants. Didn't you notice that with the frequent trade, the residents in Edo Castle have already had a great influence?" Zheng Zhilong said.

"It can be seen from this riot in Edo Castle that even my house was burned by them, but I cannot hold anyone responsible." Tadao Sakai could not deny it. The residents of Edo Castle began to have the influence to fight the shogunate without knowing it.

"Instead of waiting for death, it is better to join our Kyushu Army. The shogunate will collapse soon, just like a disrepaired sailboat. No matter how much it is repaired, it will not last long. Just change to a new ship." Zheng Zhilong said.

"What if it is a major repair, all the wooden boards, masts and keels of the sailboat will be replaced?"

"Then is this ship the same as the original one?"

"I still want to try it." Tadao Sakai drank the wine in his glass in one go.

News that Zheng Zhilong's Beiyang Fleet arrived outside Edo Castle gradually spread in Edo Castle, causing quite a lot of panic. The residents of Edo Castle were afraid of going to war with the powerful China, and the Beiyang Fleet was also a powerful army stationed by China in the Japanese Concession. They approached Edo Castle, which was likely a sign before the war with the shogunate.

But they didn't know that Zheng Zhilong, the commander of the Beiyang Fleet, was trying to recruit the shogunate minister Tadashi Sakai.

"Don't worry, I guarantee with my personality that the arrival of the Beiyang Fleet is just a friendly visit and there is absolutely no intention of starting a war with the shogunate. As a Chinese, am I still staying in Edo Castle? If the war begins, I will not be able to escape? If I lied to you, you can just come and chop me up!" In the Tokyo branch, the president of the Japanese merchant who had withdrawn money always patted his chest and promised.

Because this war is likely to break out, the Tokyo branch suffered a significant impact. Japanese merchants reserved the payment and deposit to the Tokyo branch. If the Shogunate fought with China, they were worried that the Tokyo branch would go bankrupt and that the silver there would not be withdrawn at that time, so they came to run one after another, which almost broke the Tokyo branch that had just been established.

Fortunately, Da Yu'er brought people back and promptly curbed the risk of bank runs. The measure she took was very simple, which was to raise enough silver from Chinese merchants. If any Japanese merchants came to run, they would get it. The Japanese merchants who came to withdraw money later saw that the Tokyo branch was fearless, so they did not think that the Tokyo branch would go bankrupt. In order to continue trading with Chinese merchants, they naturally did not rush to raise the money stored in the bank.

"Oh, what are you doing to arrest your people? In the words of you Central Plains, that's to go to his shogunate. What's wrong with everyone doing business in a harmonious way?" The Japanese merchant said while patting the bank counter.

Due to the assassination of Itankura Shigemasa and the assassination of Sakai Tadakita, the trade between them and Chinese merchants was suspended for several days and the losses were heavy.

"The daimyos and samurai occupied a large amount of land and tenants. It was unlucky for those who wanted to set up factories to have land but no land, and workers but no workers." A man dressed in gorgeous clothes and carrying a thick gold chain walked into the bank swaggeringly.

"Isn't this Tamura, the president of Yokohama Trading Company? Tamura Sang, what are the good deals there recently?" The Japanese merchant knew that person, the most famous comprador merchant in Japan.

"I will tell you if there is a good deal? Come on, carry the silver bars up, I want to deposit money!" Tamura waved proudly, and soon a few servants carried two boxes on the counter.

Tamura opened one of the boxes as if showing off, revealing the colorful silver bars inside.

The Japanese businessman in the Tokyo branch saw Tamura alone and carried two boxes, and it was filled with silver bars. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva, his eyes burning.

"This fisherman relied on his relationship with the Kyushu Army to help the Kyushu Army loot raw materials in various places, and helped them open up markets and sell goods, making a lot of profit from it. We have calculated it privately and suspected that the Yokohama Trading Company could take out more silver than the shogun!"

"What is true or false, more than the shogun's cash? "

"It is very likely that it is true. Although the shogun has a large amount of land, what he collects may not be cash-funded. If it is only more cash-funded, the Yokohama Trading Company may be richer!"

"No wonder he always looks arrogant as the president. It's really unpleasant. If only we had a relationship with the Jiuzhou Army, we might be able to replace him!"

"Then you have to relieve the Kyushu Army. That guy Tamura is very proud of us, but in front of his Kyushu Army father, he is like a dog."

Several Japanese businessmen discussed in private and were full of envy, jealousy and contempt for the lucky fisherman Tianmura.

Tamura, the largest comprador businessman, did not hear their comments about him, and he didn't care, having money is the king.

Tamura put two silver bars in his hand and played with them. The cold touch made him unable to let go of it.

"Governor Qian, has the bank run problem been solved?" A pleasant voice came from the bank backstage.
