Chen Daojian glanced at Ouchi Zongsheng and said: "No need to be polite, this cotton trade is just a precursor, the cotton fields on the Eastern Domain Island will continue to expand, and the textile is a water-powered machine, fast and high-speed, so you don't have to worry about the output." As long as someone can show a high enough sincerity, we, the Qin Prince's Mansion, will entrust all the cotton trade to Japan in its hands. ”

After speaking, Chen Daojian said again: "I am going to visit Kang Shuai and the governor of the Ouchi family now, please feel free." ”

Chen Daojian has a guard beside him, all of them are strong men wearing iron scale armor, wearing a skull, holding a long skull, holding a bow and a crossbow, inside the armor, there are all the same gray short robes, each government army is an elite who has experienced a hundred battles, under the shackle is a face covered by an iron mask, only two cold eyes look at the surrounding crowd with an alert gaze.

Under the escort of these ironclad government troops, people suddenly realized that the young official in front of them had a good status, and he could be on an equal footing with the governor of the Ouchi family, and he also had Kang Tianqi as a backup.

After Chen Daojian left, there was a buzzing discussion all around, and there were many businessmen from Champong, Zhenla, Annan and other countries, all looking at these Wei soldiers and officials with curious eyes, and there were many discussions at the scene.

The aftermath of the Battle of the Eastern Domain had already rippled at this time.

The merchants of these countries all looked at those soldiers with awe and curiosity, as if they wanted to see the secret of defeating the two thieves of Luzon from these people.

Yan Qi, Liu Dan, these two are notorious pirate kings, merchants from various countries may not know the names of those small country monarchs, but it is impossible that no one does not know these two pirate kings.

These two thieves who have accumulated for many years took tens of thousands of people to invade the Eastern Domain, and when they were captured, they ended up in a fiasco? was cut off more than 20,000 heads, Yan Qi's head is still hanging on the gate of Dawei, and he has to hang his head for at least a year before he can be removed from the gate, and I don't know where to throw it to feed the dogs!

"Great Wei is a big country after all." A Zhenla merchant said: "I thought that the Great Wei was weak all these years, but now it seems that we must not look down on a big country so much." ”

"That's the work of King Qin alone."

"That's right, the Great Wei Water Division, as well as this armor soldier, were all founded by King Qin."

"King Qin is not the prince of the Great Wei clan?"

In the midst of everyone's gossip, Fukuchi Masatsuna pulled Ouchi Munekatsu aside and complained, "How dare you offend the officials of the kingdom? ”

Ouchi Zongsheng looked frustrated and said, "Alas, I'm about to get into trouble for a while. In this way, we are afraid that we will not have a chance. ”

"It doesn't have to be ......" Fukuchi Masatsune's face was wrinkled, his face was squeezed like a walnut, and he groaned: "This Chen Daojian is the person who attacked the Heavenly Mission last time, he is bold, a person like him only cares about interests, and he doesn't even care about life and death." In fact, like us businessmen, as long as it is profitable, what risky things do not dare to do? ”

Ouchi Katsuta came to his senses and said, "He still wants to do business with us?" Seeing the family governor, King Kang, it is just that he is not afraid that in the Wa Kingdom, it doesn't matter if someone says it, and when it comes to Luzon, their Qin Wangfu doesn't take Liu Dan in their eyes at all, saying so much, or is it for the sake of smooth trade, so as to warn people who want to make a bad idea? ”

"That's right, that's what it means." Fukuji Masazuna said: "There is another important word, that is, sincerity, what is sincerity?" ”

Ouchi Zongsheng's eyes were about to pop out, and he said, "Isn't it that whoever gives more money is sincere enough?" ”

"By the way, that's what King Qin should mean." Fudge Zhenggang said: "In terms of soldiers, in terms of situation, they are all strong, what do we have to cooperate with them?" ”

"Aren't the high-ranking officials of the Wei people ashamed of their words?"

"It seems that King Qin is different from ordinary people." Fukuji Masatsuna pondered, "If that's the case, things will be much easier." ”

"We can't be obedient to everything!" Ouchi Sokatsu suddenly said with a stubborn face: "East."

The feudal domain is just a small state of the Great Wei, I have heard that the population is about 100,000, the soldiers are only a few thousand, and the warships are only a few dozen, if we are too weak, the Wei people will definitely put forward more excessive conditions. ”

"There's some truth to that." Fukuchi Masatsuna agreed, and said: "We must prepare to take down these cotton cloths, but we can't be led by the nose by the Wei people. As you said, although the Wei State is large, it is in a predicament in the north, and the Wei people in the south are only strong in the Qin Dynasty, and they also have to deal with the domestic rogue and the remnants of pirates. We can do what we want, and we don't have to back down too much. ”

……

There were so many people in Hirado Port that almost all the ships were loading and unloading, but there were fewer loads and more loads.

When Chen Daojian and the ships of the Qin Palaces arrived at the port, there was an obvious group of Nanyang Han merchants in the crowd of onlookers.

More than 1,000 of them went to the ships of the Qin Dynasty to unload the goods, carrying the cotton cloth like a mountain like an ant colony, and the Wei officials commanded these coolies to carry the cotton cloth to the warehouse of the station, and there were Wei soldiers on guard along the way.

Later, the Ouchi family also sent some samurai with swords, these samurai carried ashigaru with spears, most of the samurai did not wear armor, and the armor also wore leather armor or bamboo armor, they wore long robes, and their bodies were generally two knives, one long and one short.

The ashigaru were dressed in short robes, all of them had no armor, and many of them even had no shoes, they were barefoot, and their iron spears were sharpened wooden sticks, and the pointed heads were iron spear tips, which were quite crude and could not be compared with standard weapons at all.

It is true that the Wa Kingdom has been much richer in recent years, but for the people, that is, from not having enough to eat to barely being able to eat, robes, shoes and socks, and many living utensils are still quite scarce.

"There is a shortage of iron in the country, and there is almost no iron armor in the territory." A young Han merchant couldn't help but say: "Looking at their weapons, the swords used by the samurai are carefully forged and quite sharp, but they lack toughness and are not of the highest quality." Ashigaru's iron spear is almost the same as a toy. ”

Another young Han Shang said: "Originally, they didn't rely on ashigaru to fight, but on samurai. ”

"So their war, compared to Dawei and Tianfang, is just a joke."

"I can't say that." There is an old Han merchant said: "The Japanese seem to be scattered, a mess of scattered sand, the strength of the major names is not strong alone, but at the beginning of the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, the northern captives once wanted to conquer the Japanese country, more than 100,000 people went ashore, and the Japanese daimyo also gathered more than 200,000 troops to fight, although there was a typhoon raging, most of the boats and boats of the northern captives capsized, the logistics were not continued, and the military spirit collapsed, but there were more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and there were more than 10,000 people in the north, plus the Bohai people, the Khitans, the Jurchens, the Jin people, and the Han army attached to the north, the armor and weapons were excellent, and the Hu people were good at shooting, It seems that the soldiers and horses of the Japanese State can surround and annihilate these soldiers and horses, and it seems that they should not be underestimated. ”

"That's right."

"Brother Luo is really after the war, and he is familiar with military books and history books." The young Han merchant who spoke at the beginning was Zhang Siqi, who had seen the fleet of Yan Qi and others set off with his own eyes, and at this time, with strong curiosity, he exclaimed: "I heard that Brother Luo's clan brother is now serving in the Qin Palace?" ”

"That's Fang Xiao, in Xia Luo Fangren." Lao Cheng Hanshang said with a smile: "There are also Fang Yi, Fang Li, they are all Uncle Fang's idea, tell them to go and practice." I was able to receive a letter from them once in about three months, and now they are all serving in the government army. ”

"So in the last battle against Yan Qi and Liu Dan, they also went into battle?"

Luo Fangren smiled: "It's just a sweep." ”

"Judging from this official of the Eastern Domain, the Eastern Domain is a more pragmatic person." Luo Fangren couldn't help but say again: "But what kind of method his cotton trade is this time, I have to take a look again." ”

"I have a feeling that they don't want to divide the goods and the transaction too thinly." Zhang Siqi is also a merchant family, and his sense of smell is quite sensitive, so he answered immediately: "Find some powerful big merchants to act as agents in Hirado."

It is a more appropriate and pragmatic approach. ”

Luo Fangren nodded and said, "Let's see how it is done." ”

"In any case, the Eastern Domain's force is indeed very strong." Zhang Siqi looked at the warships on the sea, there were heavily armed armored soldiers everywhere on guard, they had lived overseas for a long time, the Great Wei had weakened over the years, and the natives of various countries were a little arrogant in front of the Han merchants, which made people angry and depressed.

And in the port in front of you, there are four Great Wei warships!

The military flag of the Qin Palace's palace is on the foremast, and above the middle mast is a simple banner with the word "Wei".

There is no flag of the Great Wei Navy, of course, there is no national flag, there is no flag on the original Sailor ship, this trip can actually see the warship of the Great Wei Naval Division in Hirado, and see the flag with the appearance of the word "Wei", Zhang Siqi and others have mixed feelings.

The warships are all warships of about 300 tonnage, which are already huge ships in the Great Wei, and are actually not big for the well-informed Nanyang merchants.

Although the warship is not large, the armor soldiers stand tall, the weapons are dazzling, and the armament is heavy.

With the addition of eight-ox crossbows and two-sided bed crossbows, stone cannons, and armoured soldiers, it still feels very sophisticated, and the majesty is not to be offended.

The soldiers of the Wei army who went ashore were the same, with iron armor on their bodies, holding knives, and they were awe-inspiring.

Chen Daojian came again, and the attitude of the Japanese people has changed from fake politeness to real courtesy, from merchants, lifu, common people, to samurai, officials, and daimyos, all of them put on a posture of being a guest.

Those samurai with swords are ostensibly on guard, but in fact, they are a perimeter guard circle to prevent idle people and other troubles.

Luo Fangren, Zhang Siqi and others can still stay at the wharf and the trading house to watch, those Cham people, Siamese people, and Luzon people have been driven away from afar.

It is impossible for the Han merchants to be unhappy in their hearts, and there is also a kind of pride, and a proud mind emerges.

"After all, this is our own warship." Luo Fangren said in a deep voice: "Of course, our Lanfang and Sriwijaya also have warships, and even much larger warships than the ones in front of me, but no matter what, seeing these warships, I actually feel extremely stable in my heart." ”

"I'm feeling the same way."

"I think these Great Wei armor soldiers are extremely elite, even those Tianfang scimitar hands of Pu Xingfeng are not the opponents of these armor soldiers."

"Great Wei's crossbow machine is also extremely sophisticated, and its power is huge, and those heavenly stone cannons will never be opponents."

"The top priority......" Luo Fangren said: "We still have to trade with the Eastern Domain, and we should also remind the clan elders in the family that if the King of Qin has everything, the point of our help will be small." I, Lan Fang, have already bet in the Eastern Domain, and the rest of the families, such as the Zhang family in Luzon, the Li family in the Three Buddhas, the Wang family, the Champa family, and the Siam families, should also go to the Eastern Domain to invest capital, establish a trading house, develop trade, and donate assets. ”

"That's true." Zhang Siqi's face showed a determined look, and he said: "Tomorrow, I will inquire about the situation of trade, and then I will go to the Eastern Domain to have a look, and then I will go back to the family and propose to support the matter of King Qin." ”

"It's down there, too."

A group of Han merchants originally planned to go to the Eastern Domain, and many of them were sent by their families, and of course they all seconded the proposal at this time, and no one objected.

Luo Fangren stood for a long time, he couldn't help but owe, many people were still talking, but he didn't pay attention, just squinted at the battleship on the sea, looking at the big banner of the word "Wei", he couldn't help but look at the armor soldiers on the ship, and even wondered, will there be people from the Luo clan among them? But after thinking about it, this should be impossible, most of the people of the Luo family are arranged in the martial arts hall or cavalry, there are only about a dozen people in total, and it should be unlikely that they will be on the warship in front of them.

Somehow, Luo Fangren suddenly became confident about the future.
