Chapter 89 The Big Fish Has Left Port
As for what Ashikaga Yoshiki said to Bo'er that night, let the author dig a hole first, sell it for dozens of days, and then break it down.

Two days later, General Ashikaga formally issued an order for the mission to leave, and the brigade headed by the Hosokawa family set off from Kyoto to Sakai Port.Accompanying them were of course Ryoma and Bao'er, the deputy envoys, as well as the royal tribute from the General's Mansion to Emperor Dameng.The number of these tributes is not large, and they are not used for trade. Their main purpose is to win prizes. To put it bluntly, they are to please Emperor Dameng.So don't look at their small number, but they are all treasures among treasures.

Of course, there are no women in these tributes to the emperor, but are all treasures dressed in gold and silver, dressed in radiance.Just like the tribute sword, the quality of the blade is only good from Bo'er's point of view, far from the level of leanness.But the appearance of the house is enough to attract people's attention, and the furniture is exquisitely carved. All the metal parts are gilded, and they are also inlaid with various dazzling gemstones.

There is also a set of Japanese style tributes that are all golden in the world. It is estimated that wearing it on the battlefield will blind the enemy's dog's eyes in the first second, and will be shot by the enemy in the second second!But the appearance is good after all, especially flattering.

As for the other royal tributes, there are a sandalwood screen inlaid with gold, several gilt bronze mirrors, some exquisitely crafted washi paper folding fans, and some exquisite lacquerware that Bao'er would never touch—he is very fond of lacquerware. allergy.

Some readers will ask: "Then how did the feudal kingdom make a lot of money by paying tribute?"

That's because the tributes included not only tributes dedicated to the emperor, but also tributes used for exploration and trade, and those tributes were the real money.That's why the general used those jeweled royal tributes to please Emperor Dameng. After all, when the old man was happy, wouldn't he get more silver in exchange!
On the contrary, the Hosokawa family did not prepare many trade tributes this time. First, the Hosokawa family did not prepare at all before this.Usually, the products for the tribute trade only need to be prepared one year in advance, and some even two years in advance.When the Hosokawa family "picked up" this huge "cheap", it was less than a month before the departure of the mission, so naturally there were not many tributes that could be raised.

Furthermore, Hosokawa guessed that Miyoshi Changqing had no good intentions this time, and if any "accident" happened to the mission at sea, the boat of tribute would really be in vain... Forget it, even You can't see the water floating, and the goods on the ship can't float at all.Therefore, the Hosokawa family naturally would not prepare any more tributes for Hosokawa Fujitaka.

I'm afraid that the NB Shipping Department, who is in charge of inspecting the goods of the Japanese mission this time, will praise them for their high awareness, and they don't even intend to make black-hearted money by relying on inspection and cooperation trade.

In order to reflect the majesty of the general's family, all members of the mission ride on horseback.Bao'er has been in Dongying for four years, and today is the first time riding a horse in Dongying.It's just that this horse is too short, Bao'er even wonders if the pony under his crotch is as big as the donkeys raised in the West Garden of the Forbidden City!
If this catches up with Niu Qiaoqiao's general grid, let's not talk about whether the horse can bear it.For example, with Qiao Qiao's height of more than two meters and his two long legs, Bao'er doubts that Qiao Qiao can touch the ground with both legs while riding a horse.And it's the kind where the pony under Jojo's crotch can pass through the crotch if he pushes his legs hard on the ground!
So Bao'er rode a pony and continued walking slowly all the way, slower than Bao'er riding a bullock cart.However, this is something that cannot be helped. Even though the number of missions visiting is not large, you can't stand the fact that there are too many people seeing you off.Bao'er even has a feeling that her future generations will be sent to college by a large family.

So in the past, Bao'er only needed to spend one day to complete the journey, but this team unexpectedly made it out of the two-day schedule.That night, the team of the mission chose to spend the night in Iimori's castle town, and then the group not only ate and drank, but even spent public funds to invite young ladies to sing and dance for them!Where in the world is there anyone who spends public money to find a lady during a business trip at public expense, and asks the lady for an invoice after the fun?Bao'er has never seen such a brazen person!
The next day, after dawdling for another morning, this group of people finally arrived at Sakai Port just before lunch.Needless to say, after eating and drinking again, Bao'er began to suspect that her visit this time was only secondary.Their real purpose is to accompany this group of people out for a tour, and then drop by Dameng for a tribute or something...

Of course, not all samurai eat and drink all the way, for example, the samurai of the Hosokawa family always glared at other samurai's indulgent behavior.This is not because of their integrity, but because the Hosokawa family will bear all the travel expenses along the way...

This time the mission trip was more or less auspicious, not to mention how much money they earned, if they could not lose money, the whole family of Hosokawa would have to burn incense to their ancestors.The result was good. Before the news of the ship sinking, a large sum of travel expenses was spent.

Hosokawa Fujitaka looked at this group of samurai warriors, and could only curse in a low voice: "Bah! A bunch of shameless guys."

"So when you were eating braised prawns at my house, what were you thinking?"

"What?" Hosokawa Fujitaka was out of his mind, so he couldn't hear what Bao'er said.

"It's nothing, let's think about what kind of tricks we will encounter."

Hosokawa Fujitaka frowned, and whispered to Bao'er, "I'm afraid we will encounter trouble in the Seto Inland Sea." After speaking, Hosokawa thought about it and asked again: "What if we divert to Ningbo? The south bypasses Shikoku and Kyushu and goes directly to Ningbo?"

But Bao'er shook her head and said, "No, it can't be done! The Kuroshio tide is a bit fierce this season, head to head colliding with the Kuroshio tide, maybe you can still see the picture of the sailboat receding against the wind .”

In fact, Boa asked Raphael this question before, and Raphael gave the same answer as Boa told Hosokawa.Because if they go south from the south of Shikoku Island, they will be loaded with the Kuroshio Current, which is the famous Japanese current in later generations.

The speed of this warm current is one of the best in the world. Raphael told Boa that the Japanese warm current this season can reach three to four knots per hour.The boat sails on the Japanese warm current, which is no different from sailing against the current.If an ordinary sea-going ship were loaded head-on with him, and when the wind was light, it would only be left to be pushed backwards by the current.Even if Toho's boat is faster than normal boats, the current will cancel out most of the boat's speed.

Of course, if you are going to explore North America, it is just right to take a boat all the way eastward along the ocean current this season. It is estimated that you will be able to reach San Francisco in more than 20 days.

Hosokawa Fujitaka didn't understand what Bao'er was talking about at all, but he could understand that since Bao'er said it wouldn't work, it basically wouldn't work, because no one would take their own life as a joke.

In the afternoon, after taking stock of the cargo on board and accepting the imperial decree of Tiannao's black card at the port, Bao'er and the others, who had been rambunctious for two days, could finally set sail.Bao'er looked up at the square sail on the fore-mast, and it had become the family crest of General Ashikaga's family. The blue color of the branch's canvas was slightly different from the other sails, and it looked newer.

Bao'er didn't have much communication with the sailors on the ship, it was just a general chat.Because they were tired for two full days, many members of the mission chose to go back to the cabin for a while. After all, the Seto Inland Sea is calm and the slight shaking can also help sleep.

In Sakai Port, the samurai who gathered and saw off on the pier scattered in groups of three or four, planning to spend a good time in Sakai Town, the fashion center of the world, and then find a place to have a good time.But somewhere in a luxurious izakaya, a man with a scar on his face was looking thoughtfully at the tribute boat that was gradually going away.

A man dressed as a farmer walked up to Scarface, knelt down and reported: "Lord Matsunaga, everything has been arranged!"

Song Yongxiu picked up the sake on the small case, took a sip leisurely, and then ordered: "Send them a letter and let them prepare to do it."

"Hay!"

Soon after, more than a dozen homing pigeons soared from the backyard of the izakaya, with a note stuck in the small bamboo tube at their feet:
"The big fish has left port!"
