The word "Japanese pirate" gives Qian Wubing a bad feeling. Even if he set the destination of the fleet's maiden voyage in Fusang, he definitely did not go there with the beautiful purpose of "exchanging what he had and what he didn't have".
In his opinion, this is more like plunder in a commercial form.
The word "Japan" is said to have come from the title of a certain Japanese prince in the certificate of credence given to Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty during the Sui Dynasty. They called themselves the "Land of the Rising Sun", and they called themselves "Japan", while they called themselves "Japan".
The Sui Dynasty was called the "Land of the Sunset", and its meaning of putting gold on one's face was obvious. However, except for the occasional formal official title, most of the time, whether it was the Ming court or the people, they were called
Following the old name from the ancients, it is called "Fusang".
It is expected that with the mentality of the people of Ming Dynasty who want to go to the country, they probably still look down on this kind of behavior that puts money on themselves and does not even care about the name of the country. The people of Ming Dynasty should think like this in their hearts: You should not put money on yourself.
He said in a nice way, "We know where you are from, so Fusang is just Fusang. I thought that after hundreds of years, we wouldn't know if you changed your name. It's just a group of people from an archipelago and a group of barbarians!"
As for the origin of the name "Japanese pirates", it is no longer clear. "Japanese bandits" naturally means robbers, and calling them Japanese pirates is probably because the Fusang people claimed to be the "He" tribe and spread rumors to the glorious land of China.
Eventually it became "倭", which has a similar pronunciation to "和".
However, whether they are the He tribe or the Japanese tribe, in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, these people really deserve the word "barbarian" and deserve their name.
The merchants have a broader view and know that in Fuso, basically everything is in short supply, including silk, silk floss, cloth, brocade, and red thread for clothing; needles, iron pots, porcelain, lacquerware, and women's powder for daily utensils; and
Medicinal materials such as Ligusticum chuanxiong and licorice; books such as Buddhist scriptures, medical books and the Four Books and Five Classics; raw materials: mercury, saltpeter, etc. As long as all these things are shipped to Japan, it will be tens of times huge profits. There is no way.
, whether these are clothing materials or daily utensils, to Fuso at that time, they were all high-tech. Damn, they wouldn't be able to make them for another hundred years. As for books, it would be even better.
I understand, this is advanced culture. From the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Fusang people sent monks to the east without fear of death. It seems that what they wanted was not for these advanced cultures. Some great people in later generations pointed out that technology is the primary productive force! Learn advanced culture
, which means obtaining advanced productivity. From this point of view, there are some sensible people among the Japanese.
Mercury, saltpeter and the like, it's even better to say, for an island country that's so big in the palm of your hand, you can expect it to be rich in resources. If you don't have these things, you have to buy them from outside. Fortunately, God has not completely discriminated against them. In Fuso
, there is still a lot of gold and silver, so when they buy things, there is finally no bottleneck in their ability to pay.
However, the Fusang people seen by ordinary people along the coast are from another perspective. Forget it, let's just call them Japanese pirates. It always feels like calling them Fusang people is also putting money on their faces.
There are a few serious people who can come to the coast of the Ming Dynasty. There are dozens of famous names on the Japanese island, and their brains are revealed. These defeated samurai can't find the ronin of the master's family, and even deserters who deserted.
Those who don’t want to farm honestly and are hard-working and hard-working are all going to the sea. Apart from their strength and desperate character, these guys basically have nothing left. I hope they will be honest.
In order to actually do business with the people along the coast, they have to be able to bring something out! If they can’t bring it out, they will naturally have to rob it!
It just so happens that the taste of these Japanese pirates is so low in the eyes of the officials and people of the Ming Dynasty. These guys just rob everything they see, and there is nothing they don't want. Even the earthen pots used by poor people to cook and eat.
There is nothing you can do about treating them like treasures. It would take decades for them to steal celadon technology from the Ming Dynasty. These things can be sold at a good price if they take them back to Fuso.
In short, this is a group of beggars, a group of very vicious beggars who can kill people! This is how the people along the coast feel about these Japanese pirates.
The county seat invaded by Japanese pirates this time was Putian County in Xinghua Prefecture, Fujian Province.
In late July, a ship docked at the mouth of the Putian River. There were more than sixty weird people on board with "gun-headed bird sounds", carrying guns, knives, bows and arrows, but no firearms. After receiving the message, the local Biwa Guard Station quickly dispatched troops
More than a hundred people gathered around. Seeing the Ming Dynasty's fully armed officers and soldiers, the people on the boat did not dare to act rashly. The leader of the team asked the general about their purpose, but they were unable to understand the language. At this time, a man who knew Chinese characters suddenly appeared on the boat.
, so the two sides began to talk with pen and paper, and the man wrote on the paper: "I, the Japanese, came from my land and lost my rudder. I would like to use some food to repair my rudder and then return. Fortunately, I am not forced, but I will be forced."
Life or death remains undecided."
When the Japanese guard station along the coast received news of the Japanese pirates' attack, they did not happen at the same time. In this case, whether the commander believed it or not, he would either order them to go to sea immediately or take strict precautions.
is the correct way to deal with it.
It is a pity that since the establishment of the Japanese guard station in Futian, they have not really fought with Japanese pirates with real swords and guns. As for the news about the coastal areas being harassed by Japanese pirates, to them, it seems like another distant place.
I don’t know what the leader was thinking about the affairs of the country. He actually believed this nonsense. Moreover, in front of the real money and silver offered by the people on the ship, he actually sent half of the soldiers back to the county town.
Went to collect food for them.
The people on the beach, who had been in peace for a long time, were not afraid when they saw these strange-looking Fuso people. Instead, they all came to watch the fun, pointing and pointing, as if they were holding a temple fair here.
When it was getting dark, everyone on the boat was enjoying themselves. These weirdos with the "sound of birds" suddenly took out the swallow-tail arrows that had been hidden in the cabin and pointed them at the unsuspecting officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.
Shooting, most of them were killed first, and then the Japanese pirates, all shirtless and holding three-foot Japanese swords, swarmed out of the cabin and hacked the remaining officers and soldiers to death one by one.
At this time, there was an uproar among the people around them. It turned out that these people were not maritime merchants, but the legendary Japanese pirates who killed without blinking an eye. So, for a while, everyone ran away crying.
Where to escape? Behind them were Japanese pirates with knives. Of course they fled to the county town. At least there were walls in the county town, guarded by officers and soldiers. The people were fleeing in front, and the Japanese pirates were chasing after them. It was getting dark.
The people in the county town only heard the words "The Japanese pirates are coming". They vaguely saw countless people coming to the beach, and they were even scared to death. In addition, the leader of the officers and soldiers was confused and was always at the top of the Japanese pirates.
He was killed in one round of shooting. The officers and soldiers were almost leaderless. No one knew who would shout, drop their weapons and run away. The other officers and soldiers didn't know what to do?
The fleeing people fled to the gate of the county town, only to find that there was still an officer and soldier on the top of the city. All the soldiers had fled. It was impossible to expect the county magistrate and ordinary government servants to quickly resist these Japanese pirates who were like tigers and wolves, so
, the county magistrate and his group of men also fled. Except for some people in the county who were not well-informed or had difficulty walking, almost everyone escaped!
These Japanese pirates were so proud. This was like a big pie falling from the sky. Originally they just planned to plunder, but they didn't expect that they actually got a city. Although the city was definitely undefendable, this did not hinder them.
Have a happy few days before the Ming Dynasty army comes!
Three days later, Futian County was almost an empty city. The county seat of more than 10,000 people had already escaped before the Japanese pirates arrived. After the Japanese pirates left, there were only less than a hundred people left. The rest were waiting or were captured.
The Japanese pirates were killed or captured, and the food and various valuables that the Japanese pirates in the city had no time to take away before the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers arrived were all burned.
…
On the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month, Qian Wubing, commanded by Jinyiwei, and a group of subordinates arrived in Fuqing, Fujian Province by sea.
The next day, two groups of more than ten Jinyi guards under his command went to Dongwei and Pinghaiwei in Fujian Town in two groups.
On the third day, which was the afternoon of the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, Wang Yanzhong of the Thousand Households of the Jinyiwei Thousand Households in Fujian Province rushed from Fujian to Fuqing with only two personal followers to ask for an audience with Mr. Qian, who was in charge of his affairs.
"What's the matter? Ask him to come back after the New Year, and he won't let anyone stop!" Qian Wubing was wearing a tunic jacket, which made him look a little bloated. Yan Jiu took people to Zhendong Pinghai Erwei to inquire about the day.
The situation of dispatching troops is over, and the only person beside him who can show his identity is Qiu Cao'er.
Qiu Cao'er was still a little confused about Jin Yiwei's rules, but she still knew one thing very well. She must obey what Qian Wubing said. He was the noble man in her life.
"Then I'll go get him back!" She nodded. It felt good. Two months ago, she wouldn't have dared to think about it. Jinyiwei had thousands of households in his province, and he was on an equal footing with the Chief Envoy.
Son, when did such a person have to speak kindly and with a smile in front of her? Some officials did this to her before, but they were directed at her body, not her current situation.
identity.
Qian Wubing nodded and motioned for her to go out. The climate in the south was still quite different from that in the north. In the winter in Fuqing, even the cold was a bit sticky. Even though he was strong, he seemed to be a little bit cold.
.
"Qiu Baihu, what did Mr. Qian say?" Outside the temporary "borrowed" merchant's house, Wang Yanzhong looked at the woman who came out with a tired look and asked politely. He had previously misunderstood the woman's identity.
He didn't dare to make another mistake. He thought that this was just Qian Qianshi's concubine, but he didn't expect that he was also from the Jinyiwei Yamen. But except for this woman, the Jinyiwei brothers brought by Qian Qianshi were different from the ones he had seen before.
All the people who looked like Semu seemed to be unable to communicate at all even when they spoke. Even though it was a bit embarrassing, he still had to ask casually.
