[TimetoDuel95]

Yao got news of a Japanese ship approaching one of the docks and wasted no time in getting to the nearest shore to see this ship. He used a telescope to examine it, as it was still a ways from touching land. For a moment, he thought the Japanese traitor was trying to sneak up on him with a navy assault until he saw the white flag with the Japanese character for "peace" painted on the biggest sail on the ship. Still, he was suspicious. A single Japanese navy man anchored the ship and allowed Yao aboard along with some of his soldiers who searched the vessel only to find no other men, no weapons. Even the canons were stripped. In the brig, Yao himself found a young man lying unconscious ontop of a Japanese kimono with a peace offering note written on his back in black paint and in kanji. He ordered his men to take the man ashore and give him food and water. He did not look Japanese, so Yao believed he was not much of a threat.
