Koheita is not afraid of Hojo's opening port, because there is almost no conflict between the trade products between the two. Yamauchi's main force exports raw silk, while Hojo is sure to export sulfur.

This is determined by the special natural environment of the region. Shinno has many mountains and waters, which is suitable for mulberry planting. Many farmers' families have side jobs to raise silkworms. Later, Perry forced Japan to open a port. The first to open up world sales, and the most well-received one was the raw silk from Shinshu, Koshu.

The Hojo family is located in the Kanto Plain, and its main force is to produce rice and wheat. However, Izu's state-owned hot springs have volcanoes, rich in sulfur, and some other minerals, even obsidian.

Sulfur may not be of much use in the further ancient times, but now it is the era of gunpowder weapons, and any area that produces sulfur and saltpeter will automatically become the center of trade.

Even if the annual output of hundreds of thousands of kilograms of sulfur after going to the field is not affected by the trade of Hamamatsu. At most, the Nanman merchant ships will take one more stop and stop one more port.

Raw silk is needed by the merchant ships of the Southern Barbarians, and sulfur is also needed by the Southern Barbarians. This will not change due to any incident.

But what is missionary?

Could it be that the country's gate was really bombarded by seventy-two cannons?

I think this statement is the most reasonable and realistic. After all, no matter how strong the city wall or the brave soldiers are, they will disappear under the roar of cannons.

The Hojo family did not bow to Kenshin Uesugi, who was holding a sword, but bowed to the Nan barbarians who possessed the cannon.

"Father William hasn't come back?" Xiaopingta looked at Fengchen running back to report the seven rules.

"The priest went to Shimota to establish the church, and he said that his kingdom of God had come."

"The Kingdom of God has come?"

William opened the door to a pagan country with a population of more than one million. As long as the news is transmitted back to Rome, his name will inevitably reach the apostle of St. Paul's Cathedral. It is almost inevitable to be sanctified after death. In the future, there will be sanctification and show the grace of the holy lands.

Even if the Hojo family had converted to the sect, the Roman apostle would have traveled thousands of miles, and it would not be impossible for him to create a golden crown of the Japanese king for him.

Later, one Saint William and one Saint Hojo, the Lord of the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth, confirmed!

It’s not that William agreed to teach Hojo’s artillery casting skills and artillery skills. It’s really in his heart that spreading the glory of his head is more important than anything else.

"Do you come back first to report this to me? Where is the Hiratsuki? And the soldiers from the Yamasumi?"

"Stay at Shimotian for the time being to help Father William take over Xingquan Temple and convert it into a synagogue of the Nanman Church."

"It seems that Hojo's family will master the art of artillery casting and artillery operation soon, so it should not be underestimated." Hosokawa Harumi was a little worried.

The territory of the Hojo family was enough to mobilize 45,000 to 50,000 people. Although almost all of them were hostile forces in all directions, they had to put out fires and soldiers everywhere, but this did not hinder the reality of the strong strength of the Hojo family.

When fighting in Kanto next year, you may find that the Hojo army is pulling a Franc gun and firing ruthless artillery fire at the enemy troops who are still holding a spear of the sword.

"Just be prepared, what else can I do?" Uncle Tsunaya sighed.

"Eat and eat, Qigu, you can sit down and have dinner together." Life always has to continue. It is impossible for Hojo to stagnate because of the Franchise gun.

Of course, the few people chew the same wax, but they don’t know the taste.

"The spokesperson of the Lord God, who is in the arms of all gloriousness, the Lord of the great city of Rome, and the successor of the apostle Peter, sits under the crown of the apostle on the right side of the Holy Father.

Your humble servant, Guillaume of Valon, pays the highest respect to you.

Since leaving Rome fifteen years ago and coming to the Sunrise Kingdom, my years of hard work have finally been blessed by the promise of the glorious Heavenly Father!

The three most powerful grand dukes in East Japan, the Grand Duke of Ashikaga from Shinno's country, the Grand Duke of Hojo from Sagami's country, and the Grand Duke of Fujiwara from Echigo's country, all allowed the Lord's gospel to spread under the inspiration of the Holy Heavenly Father.

The entire nation of sunrise has 12 million peoples, 66 nations, of which about twenty, four million people will soon become the lambs in the arms of the Lord.

Recently, I baptized with the Count of the uncle of the Hojo Dai Duke who had 1.7 million people and ten states. The Hojo Dai Duke was very interested in the church. Although he was a pagan himself, this was just to maintain the unity of faith with his subordinates.

I believe that as long as we continue to work hard, the above three great dukes may fall into the arms of the Lord.

In addition, in Shinono, there is a Count Fujiwara who serves as the national judge of the Sunrise Kingdom, and also serves as the tutor and the kuen of the Grand Duke of Ashikaga. This is a nobleman who is smart, heroic, and brave, and has great kindness towards the Catholic Church.

It is said that his family can be traced back to the era of Charlemagne, with clear origins and the most standard aristocrats. If it were not for the acceptance of this count, his missionary career in East Japan would not have been so smooth.

Not long ago, he even donated a huge complex of more than five acres to the church for free as the church's synagogue in the Kingdom of the Three Rivers.

His understanding of this world is far greater than that of ordinary Japanese people. The Grand Duke of Ashikaga whom he assisted is the current Japanese king who is of the same clan and has the supreme right to claim the throne. However, the Japanese king today has no descendants and many challengers are looking around.

Perhaps this is the most precious thing about the kindness they show.

Here, your humble servant Guillaume once again pays your sincerest respect.

I hope the church will continue to send more missionaries to Hamamatsu, where there is already a huge Catholic community, thousands of believers and magnificent synagogues.

There are more lost lambs waiting for the Lord’s salvation!”

With excitement, William kept writing the long letter with trembling hands and sealed it with fire paint. He entrusted the owner of the East India Company to send the letter to the Jesuits in Macau and transferred it to the Pope in Rome.

Although it may be three years later, or even longer, fifteen years of experience in missionary preaching in foreign countries have made William sharpen his firm mind and he can afford to wait.

He looked at the Xingquan Temple Hall, which was also decorated with Buddhist decoration. Although all the Buddha statues, scriptures and other things were taken away by the monks, the ten thousand words in the patio, the arhat murals on the walls, the lotus on the beams and pillars, etc. were all preserved.

All the marks of Buddhism must be erased. Anyway, William has learned paintings, architecture and other things, so he can do it himself. Now there are hundreds of people who help him, and his ambition is even more great. He wishes to turn this temple into a Catholic cathedral in one day, full of holy paintings.
