Chapter 2704
To Zong Yizhen's surprise, the Haihan people did not threaten them with force, but resorted to unconventional measures such as trade sanctions.
Zong Yizhen learned that the Haihan Mission had brought a large armed fleet to Busan, so he was naturally very worried that the other party would use force to force the Tsushima domain to submit.Therefore, he specially mobilized the island's armed forces in advance to the vicinity of Asu Bay, and secretly sent his family members to Fukuoka for shelter, so that if the negotiation failed, he could still give it a go.
Although the Haihan fleet is powerful, it is impossible to rely on the navy to attack Tsushima Island. After all, it still has to land and fight.Zongyi really planned to compare the strength of the troops. He could arm three to four thousand people by patching together, and he might be able to fight against them by virtue of the island's complex mountain and forest terrain.
Of course, Zongyi really knows very well that if the situation develops to that point, even if the Tsushima Domain can temporarily repel this armed fleet, the chance of a comeback is still very small.If Haihan dispatched another fleet from Sasebo Bay in the south to jointly attack Tsushima Island, destroy all the port facilities and ships on the island, and block the main waterway entering and leaving the island for a long time, Tsushima Fan will be completely finished.
When faced with the threat of force imposed by Haihan, Zong Yizhen was still a little hesitant as to whether he should stand up to the end with the attitude of preferring to be broken than to be crucified.But he did not expect that the Haihan people did not play their cards according to the routine, and did not resort to the military threat he was most afraid of, but declared that they would take sanctions against trade activities.
Compared with a war with real swords and guns, trade sanctions are not so obviously destructive, but Zong Yizhen's face immediately became gloomy after listening to Shi Chengwu's words.
As the head of the Tsushima clan, Zongyi really knows how much his family depends on trade. Once the trade activities are terminated, even if it is just North Korea's unilateral behavior, it will have a huge negative impact on the Tsushima clan.
Shi Chengwu said that it would take one or two years to see results. From Zong Yizhen's point of view, I am afraid that this is already a very optimistic result. Maybe once the news of the sanctions spreads, it will have an impact on the market before it is implemented.
The economic losses are secondary, and Zong Yizhen is more worried that the business reputation of Tsushima Fan will be severely hit.At that time, Haihan and North Korea will inevitably make the sanctions public. Those partners who handed over goods to the Tsushima Domain realize that this cross-border trade channel is no longer unimpeded, and most of them will take refuge in other countries, such as exporting to North Korea. The goods are transferred to Haihan merchants for operation.
Even if there are some partners who nostalgia for the past, they would rather stick to the Tsushima Fan than join the Haihan people, but how long can they last?Even if it is a close friend of an old friend, once the friendship is worn out, I am afraid that it will be completely decisive, not to mention that the vast majority of partners are most concerned about actual interests. Once the cross-border trade is suspended, there will be real economic losses. In this case How can we talk about friendship.
Wu Dou is definitely no match for Haihan, but Wen Dou doesn't seem to be much better either. At least Zong Yizhen can't think of any perfect means to deal with the trade sanctions mentioned by Shi Chengwu.The scale of trade between the two countries is so large. Once the Tsushima domain is shut down, the trade share in hand will soon be divided up by the latecomers. Even if the situation eases later, it will not be so easy to get it back.
After thinking about it, Zongyi felt that this move was even more sinister, so he had to relax his words: "If you want to sanction Tsushima Fan, it will definitely affect the normal trade activities of our three parties, and your two countries will also suffer losses as a result. , what's the trouble?"
Shi Chengwu heard that his tone had softened, so he hit the rails while it was hot: "My lord, the losses can be large or small, and the gains can be long or short. Tsushima Fan is only looking for short-term gains, but has to bear huge losses. Isn't that true?" Is it a good deal? Why not take a long-term view, abandon petty profits, and seek long-term development opportunities for Tsushima Fan!"
Zong Yizhen gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sure you know about the situation of Ma Fan. If the maritime trade is handed over, how can the tens of thousands of people under the rule survive? Your Excellency asks Ma Fan to give up the way of survival. How can there be any long-term development opportunities here?"
Shi Chengwu patiently listened to his grievances, and then responded: "My lord, you know the situation of the Tsushima Fan better than everyone here. Due to the limitations of innate conditions, no matter how the Tsushima Fan is managed, it is impossible to become a Large-scale trading ports like Busan and Nagasaki. Even if we don’t intervene now, it will only be a matter of time before the trade share of Tsushima Fan is gradually divided by these two ports. The outlet of Tsushima Fan is not in Tsushima Island, but in this Two emerging ports! If the feudal lord has the heart, he should cooperate with us as soon as possible, instead of clinging to the ancestral property and watching the family property being eaten away by the outside world bit by bit."
Zong Yizhen said: "But these two ports are not under my control of Ma Fan, so how can I use them?"
Shi Chengwu winked at Tao Hongfang, indicating that he would elaborate on the solution next.At this time, the other party obviously showed signs of letting go, and professionals were needed to explain in detail.
Tao Hongfang took over the conversation and said: "My lord, the Tsushima Fan is losing the trade advantage brought by its geographical location, but there are still many favorable conditions that can be used. For example, the Tsushima Fan has ample funds and counts Thousands of sailors and crew members, as well as a large number of professional businessmen who travel between the two countries all the year round. If the Tsushima Domain is willing to go out of the circle of the past and try to enter the trade system dominated by our country, you may soon find that there are a lot of business opportunities waiting for you Excavation and utilization. If the feudal lord is interested in knowing this information, I can take a moment to explain in more detail."
In addition to putting pressure on the Tsushima Fan, the Haihan Mission has also prepared targeted solutions.The mission hopes that the Tsushima Fan can voluntarily abandon the previous business model. Although it feels comfortable to make money lying down, it has become a stumbling block to the development of the times. Getting out of the comfort zone and entering the Haihan trading system is the future survival of the Tsushima Fan way.
The mission sees it very clearly. Tsushima Fan has no shortage of start-up capital, professional talents, and trade experience. The only thing it lacks is motivation.Only when the trade environment on which it relies to lie flat is completely broken, will the Tsushima Fan be forced to find other ways out.
As for how to let the funds and talents of Tsushima Fan enter the trading system dominated by Haihan, there are already mature plans available.As early as the 30s, the Ministry of Commerce had formulated the "Guiding Opinions on Foreign Business Operations" as the main norm to guide foreign commercial institutions, capital and individuals to enter the Haihan commercial trade system, and carried out the Widely used, 20 years has accumulated enough rich practical experience.
