Samurai of the Takeda Family

---------..

(Please keep in mind) (Please keep in mind) The seventh year of Tianzheng, June.

Li Xiao's new residence, Chengweishan Imperial Fang, was finally completed.

Yufang is a term used by believers of the Xiangzong School, and naturally it is no longer suitable for the name of the new city.

Therefore, Li Xiao listened to the opinions of his retainers in the new Oyama Imperial Fang.

I feel a little bit dumb, such as the new capital, Ying Tiancheng and other mighty and domineering rhetoric, isn't this embarrassing him.

Therefore, Li Xiao made a simple and low-key decision to call Xinju Castle Oyama Castle.

The new Oyama Castle was built on the Otateno Terrace of the Kanazawa Plain.

This piece of land is actually not big, so before Li Xiao, he worked hard to level a few nearby hills as the outer walls of the city.

The new Oyama Castle did not follow the construction of Japanese cities, but adopted the standards of Chinese cities.

It is the defensive city wall, which also encompasses the entire residential area.

Just like the capital of Ming Dynasty in this era, Li Xiao's castle tower, Honmaru and the palace, are located at the northernmost part of the castle.

To the south of the city are residents, commercial, and residential areas.

Here is a road that runs through, similar to Zhuque Avenue in the ancient Chang'an City.

The Higashi-Ou District is the residence of the retainers and the townspeople.

In the Nishi-O district, Ariakekuni, Nanban, Terauchi, and three major towns have been established.

The first two towns respectively hosted the Ming people, and the Nanban people came here to take over.

Mingguo Town is entirely by Li Dan. Wang Tanzhi raised and built it by themselves, and did not spend any money from Li Xiao, and the same was true of Nanbanren Town.

As for what they build, Li Xiao also has no restrictions.

Therefore, in Nanban Town, various churches were built, and when Li Xiao viewed the castle tower, a dome was erected.

In addition, you can also see a variety of Western-style houses. So far, with the long-term good relationship between Li Xiao and the Nanban people, more than two thousand Nanban people have settled here.

Plus the Nanban people among the other ports and towns. In Li Xiao's country, there are no less than three thousand Nanbans who have settled.

Among these southern barbarians, the Portuguese were mainly Portuguese at first, but with the strong rise of Spain and the Netherlands in the era of great voyages, more and more Europeans in the port and town.

Especially Spain, now the King of Spain. Philip I attempted to annex Portugal with the identity of the Portuguese royal family.

In history, in 1580, Philip I would send the general Duke Alva to occupy Portugal, and then the Spanish power will reach the peak of history.

And the Netherlands. At this time, it has not yet started from Spain, but in this low country, the struggle for resistance has never stopped.

On land, one of the creators of the Western Phalanx, Prince Morris led the Dutch to fight for the military.

And the Dutch who are called sea coachmen at sea. It also took advantage of the strong maritime trade to start a competition overseas.

Therefore, in Nanban Town, these Western countries are tumbling with each other.

But they dare not presumptuous in the Weishan imperial Fang, because here, Li Xiao has a strong navy. There is also his mighty Minguo maritime ally.

A magnificent four-wheeled carriage drove slowly on the ramp in Nanban Town.

Pulling the veil curtains, Li Xiao looked at the neat stone roads and the European-style houses standing shoulder to shoulder against the hillside. For a moment, he seemed to be like Europe in the movie.

It seems that these Nanbarians have the beauty of urban architecture.

The carriage slowly passed by, and Li Xiao saw a handful of Nanban high-class people in Shidao, wearing high hats. Holding a civilization stick, while holding a lady in a lace dress, walking slowly on the side of the street, she seems to be enjoying the afternoon sun.

When the other party saw his carriage, he immediately bowed and saluted, very polite.

Li Xiao nodded slightly and lay back on the comfortable cushions of the carriage again. Three horse-drawn horses drove the four-wheeled carriage on the stone path, which was also the legendary troika.

This troika is stable and not bumpy, and the speed is much faster than that of a bullock cart.

This carriage was naturally honored by the Portuguese to Li Xiao.

Before the Meiji Restoration in Japan, because of the scarcity of horses, there was only a saying that ox carts did not have horse carts.

In China, there is no good solution to the steering problem. Mostly there are two-wheeled carriages instead of four-wheeled carriages.

Of course, although the two-wheeled carriage is simple and easy to use, the carrying capacity and the travel comfort are definitely not as good as the four-wheeled carriage.

Li Xiao lay on the carriage, surrounded by hundreds of flags and guards.

Just now he was in the Portuguese Chamber of Commerce in Nanban Town, and enjoyed a hearty lunch with the newly appointed President of the Portuguese Chamber of Commerce in charge of East India, Cabral, and several Portuguese businessmen.

This Cabral has part of the blood of the Portuguese royal family.

His purpose in coming to East India was to expand Portuguese trade here and to establish the Portuguese East India Company.

Cabral, who was the new official, did not stay in India and Macau for a while, and went directly to Japan by boat. Only after a short stay in Hirado for a day, he went directly to Kaga Sankokuminato by boat for landing.

For Li Xiao, it was strongly recommended by Father Torres and others.

Cabral is well aware of the talents of the other party and cannot be viewed by the ideally defined Orientals. The other party is described by Father Torres as a great name with ambition, vision and knowledge.

At the same time, the opponent's skill is clever, dealing with the Ming Dynasty maritime merchants, Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands and other forces, relying on maritime trade, accumulating a lot of wealth, and forging a powerful army.

After Cabral heard about it, he did not dare to neglect now, not only to get to know Li Xiao, a powerful figure, but more importantly, Li Xiao is now an important business partner of the East India Company.

For now, Li Xiao's gold and silver trade with the Portuguese has reached more than half of the Portuguese's gold and silver trade in Japan, and he is a major customer of the East India Company.

Whether it is Father Torres or others, they have changed their prescriptions to accept Li Xiao to please Li Xiao. As for the mission of evangelism, God forgive him, this is not the most important place for Cabral.

Therefore, during lunch, Cabral repeatedly mentioned that with the good relationship between Li Xiao and the Portuguese, but in terms of the ratio of gold and silver trade, the Portuguese's share is not as good as Li Xiao's. Those Ming Guo friends, so this is really hurtful.

Li Xiao couldn't help but feel amused when he thought of the things at the banquet just now.

Cabral won in every possible way, and finally introduced his two younger sisters, and Cabral, these two sisters, also have the blood of the Portuguese royal family.

If Li Xiao can agree to his terms, he does not suggest that Li Xiao and his two sisters have a deep and meaningful exchange.

Li Xiao looked at it and couldn't smile. Did he take Sister Xiaowan as a side room in the main room, so other people think he has the evil habit of sisters flying together.

So in the end, Li Xiao was still insensitive to this pair of Portuguese sisters.

However, Li Xiao offered a condition for Cabral to provide another interest-free or even low-interest loan, so that Li Xiao can get through the current financial constraints. In return, Li Xiao will consider trading in gold and silver. In terms of the distribution share, Portugal is more inclined.

Anyway, under the abbot of the Great Zang Chang'an, the mining volume of Sado Jinshan and Shengang Yinshan is increasing day by day, and he is not incapable of giving a share to his business partners.

The provision of loans still made Cabral hesitate. After all, Li Xiao already owed the Portuguese a lot of money.

As far as he knows, Li Xiao ordered three of the latest Spanish galleons from the Spaniards this time to fill his navy, and the money was paid by Portuguese merchants.

Now I asked myself to take the money, and it was indeed a bit of a hassle for Cabral to persuade the following big businessmen.

But afterwards, when Cabral thought of the future East India Company, which could consolidate its position in Asian trade, he finally agreed to Li Xiao's terms.

In the carriage, Li Xiao was very comfortable resting his head behind his hands.

After completing the talks with Cabral, he can indeed get through this period of financial crisis. After the income from Japan-North Korea trade and the gold and silver trade is received next year, he can say goodbye to the deficit on the account.

After leaving Nanban Town, Li Xiao's carriage drove into Mingkuni Town.

Different from Nanban Town, Mingguo Town also has its own characteristics. There are Mazu Temple, Molizhitian Bodhisattva, and even churches in the town.

This is not surprising. Many of the maritime merchants in the Ming Dynasty believe in Catholicism. Zheng Zhilong is a good example of this.

However, in addition to Catholicism, Zheng Zhilong also believes in Morizhiten Bodhisattva and the Japanese Hachiman God, which belongs to the type of worshipping at the temple.

The buildings in Mingguo Town are basically in the style of Fujian and Guangdong. Many people speak rural slang, Hokkien dialect, and Hokkien dialect.

This made Li Xiao, who was accustomed to Japanese in the carriage, feel even more cordial.

He thought that if he truly retires in the future, he should live here, and he would be considered as returning to the ethnic group.

After all, the Chinese people still pay attention to the height of the tree, and the fallen leaves return to the root. This sense of identity is hidden in everyone's heart.

So although Hyundai can't go back~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Mingguo can't go back either. Living in such a place is considered living in Chinatown.

Li Xiao's carriage passed by, and the people in the town knew Li Xiao's identity.

At the moment, many people are gathering outside, standing on both sides of the carriage in an orderly way.

For these people who have left their hometowns, there is a comfortable place where they can settle down. It is enough not to worry about being bullied.

Li Xiao did all of this.

Therefore, these people's gratitude to Li Xiao is also real, and they feel different when facing Li Xiao who did not hold the evasive and quiet sign to travel.

Of course, for Li Xiao, it is also his own business to provide a safe home to these compatriots drifting overseas.
