Chapter 2705
For most people, the more power they have, the more they fear losing it.As a ruler, changing the status quo means taking great risks, and Zong Yizhen is no exception.
The special status in the Asahi-Japanese trade is the foundation of the Tsushima Domain, which is the ruling concept taught by generations of Zongshi by precepts and deeds.Zongyizhen has been fighting for this for the first half of his life, but his situation is much more difficult than that of his predecessors. Although he has racked his brains and adopted various means, he still cannot stop the decline of Tsushima Fan. share continues to decline.
The coercion of the Busan government and the Haihan Mission has undoubtedly accelerated this trend, and there are not many options before Zong Yizhen.To be precise, there are only two options: cooperation or not.
If you choose to carry it hard, then you will have to face the trade sanctions jointly imposed by North Korea and Haihan, and Ma Fan will suffer an extremely serious economic blow.If Tsushima Fan cannot be subdued in this way, the sanctions may be further escalated, because the other party has not ruled out the possibility of using military means.Once that step is reached, Tsushima Fan will lose everything.
If you choose to cooperate, Tsushima Fan must first give up various privileges in the Asahi-Japanese trade, which is tantamount to handing over the guy who eats to others, and the risk is even as great as going to war directly.So even though the Haihan Mission tried their best to persuade Zongyi to take a long-term view and join the trading system dominated by Haihan, he was still full of doubts about whether this way out was feasible.
Zong Yizhen tried his best to hide his emotions, but under the constant persuasion of the Haihan mission, he couldn't help showing hesitation in his words.However, it was related to the future and destiny of the Zong family and the Tsushima Fan, and he still refused to let go, trying to win more favorable conditions for himself.
At the end of the day's negotiations, the two sides did not reach an agreement, so they could only agree to continue the next day.When bidding farewell, Shi Chengwu reminded Zong Yizhen that the Haihan Mission can only stay in Tsushima Island for one more day at most. If a result acceptable to both parties is still not obtained tomorrow, then the negotiation can only be terminated here, and the follow-up The development will no longer seek the opinions of Tsushima Fan.
This may be a kind reminder, but Zong Yizhen prefers to understand it as some kind of implicit threat.What kind of consequences will the negotiation break down? Haihan people have repeatedly emphasized countless times during this day, so how could he not know.
Zong Yizhen stood on the height of the castle, silently watching the carriages of these visitors drive out of Jinshi City, all the way to the seaside pier, and then transfer to their warships to leave Asu Bay.Everything looks peaceful, just like the countless outsiders who have visited here in the past few decades, they have come and gone.But Zongyi is very clear in his heart that the situation this time is completely different from the past, and the future success or failure of the Tsushima Fan may come to fruition today or tomorrow.
"What do you think will happen tomorrow? Will Zongyi really let go?" Back in the meeting room on the Zhoushan, Shi Chengwu convened everyone to summarize today's negotiation results, and Tao Hongfang was the first to ask.
Tao Hongfang's job is an official of the Ministry of Commerce, so he is naturally the top leader of the mission in terms of business affairs.Tao Hongfang is also the protagonist in this negotiation with Tsushima Fan. If he can persuade Zongyi to accept Haihan's arrangement, it will naturally save a lot of unnecessary trouble.After all, with trade wars as a means, killing one thousand enemies will inevitably kill eight hundred. It is not necessary to take such measures unless it is a last resort.
Tao Hongfang was full of confidence: "Zong Yizhen will definitely choose to obey."
Shi Chengwu raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you so sure?"
"First of all, Zongyi is really a smart person who can distinguish between the important and the important." Tao Hongfang explained: "He has a certain understanding of our country's strength and behavior style, and knows that we really have the ability to destroy the Tsushima Fan, so he Don’t think our talk of a tough solution is bluster.”
"Secondly, we have provided Tsushima Fan with another option other than destruction. Even if the prospect is not so certain, it is better than nothing. People, as long as there is a way out, the attitude will always soften. What's more, we provide This road is not just living in vain, as long as you are willing to devote yourself to Ma Fan, it is not without the opportunity to become a bright road."
Shi Chengwu said: "Then what if Zongyi really can't figure it out and wants to burn jade and stone together?"
Tao Hongfang said: "The Zong family is not only a ruler, but also a businessman. The reason why their family can obtain a special trading status is by repeatedly jumping back and forth between the two countries. Weigh the pros and cons and then act as a fool , This is their nature and tradition. For them, what position or face is not important, the only thing that needs to be considered is interests! Who can guarantee the interests of Tsushima Fan now? North Korea? Japan? No, only our country can do this One point, Zong Yizhen's only choice is to hug our thighs, and he can't hesitate, because there is only one day left for him."
Shi Chengwu said: "Listening to what you said, there is no need for Zong Yizhen to delay until tomorrow."
Tao Hongfang said: "I think so too. But I think that Ma Fan may not reach a consensus so quickly. After all, abandoning the past business model will touch the interests of many people, and some people will definitely stand up to oppose it. If one night It’s not enough for Zongyi to really solve internal problems, it only shows that he has limited control over his own family, and he is not qualified to be our partner.”
Shi Chengwu said: "Although this is the case, we must be prepared with both hands. If Ma Fan still refuses to cooperate, then he must be punished."
Tao Hongfang nodded and said, "That's natural. If the Zong family has forgotten the lessons of the Hirado clan, then we can only make the Zong family a lesson for future generations."
Zhu Zian was secretly startled when he heard it, these high-ranking young officials had already decided on the future of Tsushima Fan in just a few words.If this middleman who has monopolized the Asahi-Japanese trade for a long time refuses to cooperate, then Asu Bay will soon turn from a trading port into a fishing village, and Haihan does not even need to use force during this period. Zhu Zian has never heard of such a method before.
But for Tao Hongfang, the Ministry of Commerce has to deal with a large number of overseas trade conflicts like this every year, and the situation in Tsushima is far from troublesome. The mobilization of the fleet to demonstrate outside Aso Bay is only on the way to Japan Do it easily.In his opinion, there is no need to use the threat of force at all, as long as the seriousness of the consequences is explained to the other party, it is enough to force the Tsushima Fan to submit.
