The Ningbo Rebellion

Japanese: 寧波の乱 - ニンポーのらん

In 1523, a military incident broke out in Ningbo when Hosokawa and Ouchi clans sent ships to Ming China. The Hosokawa and Ouchi clans were at odds over the profits of trade between Japan and Ming China, and the conflict involved the interests of Hakata merchants who were allied with the Ouchi clan and Sakai merchants who were connected to the Hosokawa clan. The Ouchi ship arrived at Ningbo with Muneshige Kendo as its chief envoy, and the Hosokawa ship with Ranko Mizusa as its chief envoy. The Hosokawa ship, which arrived later, was bribed by the deputy envoy, Song Soqing, a Ming man, and was given a higher seat at the guesthouse. Enraged by this, Muneshige and his men killed Mizusa, burned down the Hosokawa ship, set fire to roadside areas, killed Ming people, and then departed for the sea. This led to strict restrictions on future trade by ships to Ming China. (→Tango trade)

大永3 (1523) 年，細川氏と大内氏の遣明船の入明に際し，ニンポー (寧波) で引起された武闘事件。細川氏と大内氏は日明貿易の利益をめぐって鋭く対立し，これに大内氏と結ぶ博多商人と細川氏につながる堺商人の利害の対立がからんでいた。大内船は宗設謙道，細川船は鸞岡瑞佐を正使としニンポーに入港。遅れて入港した細川船のほうが，副使の明人宋素卿の賄賂工作によって，先に入港手続をすませ，嘉賓館での席次も上席となった。これに憤激した宗設らは，瑞佐を殺し，細川船を焼払い，さらに沿道に放火乱暴し，明人を殺害して海上に去った。このため，以後の遣明船貿易にはきびしい規制措置がとられるにいたった。 (→勘合貿易 )
