I’ll make this my second Clavell book in that case.

I'd definitely read Tai-Pan before reading Noble House, Gai-jin, or Whirlwind, those books won't really be nearly as good otherwise as all four are connected.

You can read King Rat or Shogun whenever, though one of the characters from King Rat shows up in Noble House in a small role and could add some flavor if you've read that first.
