A beautiful Carrick sailboat is moored offshore. It has a beautiful three-mast and six-sail boat and a streamlined hull.
Unfortunately, because the draft is too deep, it cannot dock at the port in the Seto Inland Sea, so the cargo can only be disassembled by small boats.
At this time, in the captain's room, a beautiful blond girl was spinning around happily, singing and dancing to her hometown songs.
She has a traditional Germanic appearance, with a high nose bridge, deep-set eye sockets, and beautiful blue eyes.
The adjutant beside him coughed helplessly.
"Sir Captain, the floor that was just repaired may not be able to bear your weight.
You know, you always go ashore recently and gain weight again."
The girl pouted and pulled her adjutant to dance together.
"Christina, Eniko, hateful British grandmother, your words are sharper than the sword.
You know what I just got? Praise**!”
The female adjutant pulled away her hand so heartlessly, took a step back, and said with a look of disgust.
"Of course I know, I brought you this news.
I have to remind you, Captain, you still have fifteen minutes to get ready, and then go to the Sakai Port Shinsengumi station to meet with the person in charge of the Shiba family in Sakai Port.
You know, these Japanese people attach great importance to etiquette. If you are late, I believe your current happiness will disappear without a trace. I may even need to collect your body for you.
What's the name of these savages' favorite thing? Oh, and by the way, seppuku. Make the sign of the cross on your stomach with a knife and take out your intestines."
Lilu rolled her eyes at Christina.
"Evil-hearted British grandma, I know that seppuku is not the purpose.
However, you really can’t be late, thousands of dollars are at stake!”
Christina, who had red hair and red eyes, stood upright beside her, smiling as she watched Lilu tidy up her clothes nervously.
She has a graceful figure and is proficient in swordsmanship and dance. Although she has a vicious mouth, she is Lilu's trustworthy deputy.
Christina said.
"You tried your best to plead with Takata Harano, hoping to get a share of Sakai Port's business share.
But are you sure you want to continue on this route? You should be very aware of the risks involved?"
While Lilu was changing her clothes, she looked back at her adjutant.
"My business profits in the past six months have exceeded my total in the previous three years. Christina, you know I will not give up.
Rafael, if Custer Road can help me once, you can help me a second time. I will definitely go on the Japan route, and I will win the share of Sakai Port in this meeting."
Christina frowned.
"Even if we get the share of Sakai Port, it will be difficult to hold on. The port occupancy along the route to Japan is almost entirely monopolized by the Portuguese-Spanish Chamber of Commerce, and we cannot dock at the port at all.
Although Raphael is your friend, it is not easy to take advantage of the Custer Road Chamber of Commerce.
If you use the second son of their family and their chamber of commerce name to repair ships and buy and sell goods at the port, you will get into trouble."
Lilu turned around and asked.
"I'm just a small person who works hard as a maritime merchant, and I didn't take advantage of their chamber of commerce in vain.
I paid the parking fee, and I also paid the other repair costs and sales tax. Borrowing the name of the Chamber of Commerce is just a small and well-intentioned deception, and should be forgiven.
As for Raphael, I owe him a favor for the letter of recommendation he wrote for me. If one day he needs me to repay it, I am willing to give him my life."
Christina rolled her eyes and said disdainfully.
"As expected of you, shameless Lilu.
He is the second son of the Castel Road Chamber of Commerce, a handsome and wealthy young man who can participate in Portuguese court dances.
You, a small shipping businessman from the Netherlands, after using friendship to deceive an innocent young man, do you still want to defraud him of his love?
The Castello family will definitely send someone to fight you. No, they will find a few people to tie you up and throw you into the sea to feed the fish."
Lilu shrugged.
"I'm just talking casually. Come and see for me, how do you feel about this outfit?"
"It sucks."
"Very good, so be it."
"I mean it sucks!"
"Anyway, in the eyes of those Japanese, no matter how we dress, we look terrible. They call us, um, Nanman, don't they?"
Christina looked at Lilu and saw the brilliance of wisdom shining in her eyes.
"As long as you know what's going on, my captain."
"Christina, I will help you make a lot of money, enough for you to buy a big manor in your hometown and marry a handsome husband."
"Thank you so much.
However, I hope I can survive until that day safely, and I won’t be dragged to death by you before then.”
"Hahaha, let's go! Let's go meet the Shiba family's Samurai Hime."
———
Just when Lilu was full of confidence and set out to negotiate with Takada Harano, two people were having secret discussions at the Miyoshi Sakai Port Office not far from the Shiba Shinsengumi's headquarters.
Miyoshi Masayasu sighed and held his forehead and said nothing. The warrior who came down bowed and asked.
"Sister, please tell me the truth. Has Lord Changyi decided to surrender to Abo's family?"
Miyoshi Masayasu was silent for a while, then nodded.
"You and I are sisters, and I don't want to lie to you. It's true."
"Where is Iwanari Tomomichi-sama? She also agreed?"
"She has no right to object."
The Ji warrior bit his lower lip and said with a stubborn expression.
"If I had known this, why did you call me back in the first place? Just let me continue to live in seclusion."
Miyoshi Masaksu said helplessly.
"Things in the world are unpredictable. Who knew the situation would deteriorate so quickly and so miserably."
This Samurai Hime who dared to question Miyoshi Masayasu was her sister of the same race, Miyoshi Masakatsu's daughter, Miyoshi Masakatsu.
The Miyoshi family was born as the head of the Hosokawa clan. When the Hosokawa clan was strong, he followed the chicken and dog to heaven.
The four sisters of the Miyoshi Chokei lineage controlled the three countries of Awa, Sanuki, and Awaji. However, the Miyoshi clan in Settsu was headed by the Chief Miyoshi.
At first, the Hosokawa clan was afraid of Miyoshi Chokei's strength, so they instigated Miyoshi Masaki and Miyoshi Chokei to compete for the position of Miyoshi family governor. Miyoshi was defeated and committed suicide, and his daughter Miyoshi Masakatsu had lived in seclusion for many years.
Since the death of Miyoshi Nagakei, the three of Miyoshi have taken over the Settsu Kingdom and once again confronted the Miyoshi family of Shikoku.
Miyoshi Masayasu took advantage of the favor of his sisters and invited the descendant of the leader of the former Settsu Miyoshi family to support the Miyoshi trio in stabilizing the rule of Settsu country.
No one expected that with Miyoshi and three people holding Settsu, the two countries of Tamba seemed to be strong. A Tamba rebellion would be defeated so quickly.
The Miyoshi family governor Yoshitsugu of the four countries sent Miyoshi Yasunaga as a representative to persuade Miyoshi Choitsu and Miyoshi Masayasu to surrender, and the two sides prepared to repair their relationship.
As for Tomomichi Iwanari, one of the three Miyoshis, he is just a capable official in foreign affairs and internal affairs. With Miyoshi Nagaitsu and Miyoshi Masayasu nodding, she has no right to object.
