The first person to send an envoy to Quancheng to congratulate King Qi on ascending the throne was King Goryeo.

In fact, there are two nobles who wrote to King Goryeo to ask not to send envoys to Quancheng under the name of King Qi's rebellion in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

But that night, a military adviser from Qi led the Goryeo New Army to break into these Goryeo nobles who could not see the situation clearly and even imagined the useful name of the Goryeo nobles and searched their homes.

The Qi people then forced the Goryeo government to quickly convict these nobles - the nobles themselves were beheaded and displayed in public, and their families were sold into slavery and their property was confiscated.

Thunder means shocked all the Koreans, and no one in the kingdom dared to persuade the king to oppose the brave men of Qi.

In return for the congratulations to the vassal state of Goryeo, King Qi gave a seal of "King of Goryeo" and forced the King of Goryeo to use any other seal on any formal occasion.

Of course, the King of Qi also gave some very realistic benefits - Qi will help Goryeo mine various mineral resources. In these Goryeo mines, the King of Goryeo will hold 10 shares, and the other two nobles of Goryeo have 39.

In addition, there is the Goryeo customs directly controlled by Qi State, which can also bring more wealth to the Goryeo Kingdom.

With forceful oppression and economic bribery, the Korean nobles will gradually realize that they are unable to do without the control of Qi.

...

The second force sent envoys to congratulate them was the pirates of Shuangyu Port.

The original King of the East China Sea Li family has now completely split.

In addition to Luo Haitao being the commander of the fleet of the Qi King regime, the two small groups headed by Li Feihu and Li Feihuang and Li Feilong and Li Feifeng are now still in harmony, at least on the surface they are still standing on the same boat.

However, the other five large cabinets, led by a large cabinet whose name was changed to Sheqi, have been completely independent, occupying several ports on Penghu Tai Island off the coast of Fujian Province, competing with Li Feihu and Li Feilong Group.

The split pirate army has fought several consecutive battles and each suffered a lot of losses. Therefore, the Li family now needs the support of the King of Qi in terms of force and politics.

They especially could consolidate their relationship with the Xu family, so they would naturally send people to congratulate King Qi early.

The Li family's mind is purer than that of the Koreans, and their attitude is also low.

Li Feilong and Li Feihu both had several daughters who agreed in advance that they would marry the Xu family's genius generation as their wife, or the direct descendant as their concubine.

The Li family pirates can now share the sources of Liao and Korean goods in Jiangbei. The specialties and markets in these places can bring them millions of direct returns every year, and are still in rapid growth.

This is undoubtedly a huge help to the pirates in a state of war.

In addition, there is a more direct trade in arms and ships:

Now Qi State sells a large number of shotguns, guns, and gunpowder to the Li family every year, which makes them in a state of firepower advantage over their enemies and makes a lot of money.

In addition, the large wood from Liaodong and Goryeo is also very important for replenishing the Li family's fleet.

In the future, the relationship between Xu and Li families will probably become closer.

...

The third envoy sent was Gurhan Jamukha of the Mongols.

The Mongol leader who unified the grasslands still sought a formal alliance with the King of Qi - not only to siege the common enemy Jurchens, but also to formally divide the sphere of influence with the King of Qi in the Central Plains and Liaodong.

Jamukha's envoy proposed that in Liaodong, the two families took the Liao River as the western boundary and the Hun River as the northern boundary, and the two families did not interfere with each other.

In the Central Plains, the Mongols occupied the three provinces of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Gansu and some areas in northern Sichuan Province, and the rest belonged to the King of Qi.

This condition seemed too rampant to the King of Qi.

As the Qi army achieved one brilliant victory after another against the Jurchens, the Qi King Xu Muhe himself had established a slightly blind confidence against the Qi army, and the Qi army was invincible, at least much better than the Mengwu people who were beaten by the Jin army and ran away in a hurry.

So, why accept the request of Jamuka, a weak man, to share the territory equally?

Since you will become the emperor sooner or later, it is normal for you to be the king of the world to be the king. How qualified is a small barbarian chief to negotiate terms with the emperor?

So, the King of Qi personally ordered the envoys of Jamuha to be beaten out indiscriminately, and in front of the people of Quancheng, the soldiers tied Jamuha's envoys to a donkey to expel them.

In fact, the King of Qi didn't want to do it so absolutely, because the textile industry in Qi Province needed Mengwu's wool and also needed Mengwu's market to dump products such as salt, wine and wool cloth.

But Xu Shiyang believes that compared to the need for Mengwu in Qi, Mengwu actually needs Qi even more.

Salt, wine, wool cloth and tea re-exported by Qi State are all necessities for Mengwu herdsmen. If they do not buy it from Qi State, it will be difficult for them to buy cheap and easy-to-use products.

What's more, no one except Qi State would buy the wool of the Mongolians.

Therefore, even if Jamukha is humiliated, the trade between Qi and Mengwu will not be cut off, and even the most sensitive tea-horse trade will not be.

This is just to tell everyone that the destruction of the Jurchens is not the end, but the beginning. In the future, there will be Mengwu, Dangxiang and many other Tartars who need to be cleaned up one by one.

...

The next envoy actually came from Fusang.

Here he was an envoy representing the Oda family in Fusang. People from the Ministry of Rites carefully asked the members of the envoy group and the representatives of the Li family who had commercial relations with the Oda family. Only then did they learn about the situation in Fusang in recent years.

After Li Feihu contacted the Oda family, the strength of the Oda family improved rapidly. Especially last year, the Fuso Daimai Oda/Tokugawa coalition used the shotgun exported by Qi and the fire guns they imitated, and defeated by another Daimai Takeda army in a decisive battle, the Oda family's strength developed very rapidly, and even had the tendency to unify Fuso.

In other words, Oda is a bit like the Fusang version of the pocket-sized Xu family.

The delegation sent to Qi State to congratulate King Qi on his ascension to the throne came from a place called Sakai City in Fusang, which was once a free trade city ruled by merchants. It was a small population but very rich (by Fusang's standards).

After the Oda family occupied this place, they regarded Sakai as their own direct territory and drew a lot of wealth from it for war. The development of Sakai City was accelerated, and the pirates of the Li family basically traded with the Oda family here.

The goal of the Fusang people is to expand the trade volume with Qi. Today, the Fusang army is completely inseparable from gunpowder weapons. The Fusang people can still imitate some of the things like shotguns with their own strength, but the demand for gunpowder cannot be met at all.

Fuso representatives were unwilling to disclose information on the Oda family's own gunpowder output, but the representatives of the Li family revealed to Xu Shiyang that before the decisive battle with the Takeda army last year, Oda Nobunaga, the head of the Oda family, had rushed to hand over 200,000 kilograms of rice and a large amount of silver to the Li family's merchants in Sakai City to exchange for saltpeter and lead.

Since then, Oda Nobunaga asked the Li family merchants many times to buy saltpeter and lead.
