Unlike the entire southern Zhili, which was in a state of excitement because of the Eastern Expedition, the city of Hangzhou was actually very peaceful.
Even the chief envoy's office posted a notice to calm the people, stating that the masses were not allowed to gather to make trouble or bully Japanese vagrants. The city of Hangzhou protects everyone, including Japanese immigrants and Japanese travelers.
Earlier, big-character posters promoting the century-old Japanese pirates' wreaking havoc in the southeast were directly torn up by the soldiers on duty, and the relevant people were also reprimanded.
Gao Hanwen’s series of tricks made everyone in Hangzhou confused.
I only know that Hupan Academy also specially organized a condolence exhibition for Japanese students studying abroad, playing the game of goodwill between Hangzhou and Japan.
It seems to be going against the grain of Southern Zhili. But fortunately, they did not submit a letter to organize the Eastern Expedition, and even invested 10,000 taels of silver to form a development company to support the Eastern Expedition.
Fortunately, Gao Hanwen's behavior has always been unconventional, because this year Hangzhou has a bumper bean harvest and there is no famine among the people, which is completely different from last year. Wang Yongji 100% believed that Gao Hanwen had his own set of logic, but he, who had been confined to Confucianism for a long time, could not understand it for a while. I guess we'll see clearly if we wait a little longer.
It’s just that for many things, people who understand can wait, but there are always people who cannot wait.
For example, those refugees who came to Hangzhou and have not yet found permanent employment status. Although many people have been solved before, there are at least 20,000 to 30,000 people like this Rijie Master on the streets.
Who doesn’t want to make a comeback in a battle?
Ever since, the image of a rich version of Gao Hanwen who was afraid of wet shoes was spread.
It’s just that Gao Hanwen is not interested in the Eastern Expedition. If we don’t let propaganda mobilize everyone to go to the Eastern Expedition, isn’t this depriving people of money?
Gao Hanwen is a bit more conspiratorial, isn’t he? Doubts about accepting money from Japanese daimyo also spread like wildfire. I just wait and see that if Japanese nobles settle in Hangzhou in the future, it will basically be a stone hammer for Gao Hanwentong.
When the rumors reached here, Gao Hanwen had to respond. In the Ming Dynasty, Tongwa could be beheaded immediately. And these officials don’t seem to be the ones who talk about evidence. It would be troublesome if someone really took it seriously.
It’s just that Gao Hanwen cannot say it himself. To clarify the rumors, this matter cannot be explained clearly. It would be much better to let a third party speak for itself.
This third-party white glove is naturally the two platforms of Hupan Academy and Hangzhou Trading Company led by Zhao Zhenshan.
There are only two main ideas
The first is that only by promoting the goodwill between Hangzhou and Japan can the resistance of the southwestern vassal states of Japan be reduced. The principle that a weak army will win is applicable to the Ming Dynasty and Japan. There is no need to force the opponent into mourning. Surrender is always an open road. Only in this way can the casualties of soldiers and pioneering regiments be reduced.
Secondly, with the newly discovered Iwami Silver Mine, the wealth accumulated by Japan's famous names and generals will only be greater. And you don’t have to work hard to mine this part. Therefore, when these famous generals decided to surrender and their protons surrendered, they chose the ones closest to them.It is natural for Hangzhou to be a good place for Japan. There is no reason to spend money to go to Nanjing to endure the wrath of the Japanese people.
It is always a good thing to have money flowing into Hangzhou. Unlike other cities where silver is rampant, Hangzhou's silver prices have been rising recently. With the number of newly listed companies in Financial Alley, there are more and more formal and informal companies.
Hangzhou seems to be a gold-wasting cave, and no matter how much silver there is, it is not enough. Even the Weaving Bureau and the Insurance Clearing Company have launched various tickets. Money is still far from enough.
If this batch of Japanese old money can enter Hangzhou, it will also solve an urgent need. It had already attracted the concubine grandson of a Japanese famous person to come over for inspection. Now is the time to strike while the iron is hot and strengthen the good impression of Hangzhou.
Because of this, it was also the Eastern Expedition. Hangzhou did not contribute much money, and the propaganda was reactionary, making it so incompatible.
Xu Guo and Wang Jiaan had previously tactfully reminded them to keep in step with their superiors. It would be bad if it always seemed like Hangzhou had its own interests. But Gao Hanwen said that Hangzhou's interests are Ming's interests and pushed him back.
Fortunately, the old disciples and the newly recruited Li Zhi did not hesitate or test this issue. Gao Hanwen was very pleased. If these disciples who have been studying with themselves for a long time still believe in the Confucian world view and interest view of the duality of the whole and the part, emphasizing that local interests must obey the whole, and only by sacrificing the part can they serve the whole, instead of treating the part and the whole as one. Organic unity does not admit that the parts are the prerequisite for the whole. Gao Hanwen could only conclude that the Ming Dynasty was hopeless, so he immediately rolled up his quilt and fled to England with his family of three. The last time he went to Australia was to join his wandering disciple.
