The caliber of the Japanese artillery was too small, and the firepower of the armed Zhuyin ships was not as good as that of the Ming Dynasty's rushing ship and the No. 2 Fu ship, and it was even more unbearable to withstand the heavy artillery attack of the "Red Banner Army" warships.

The ironclad warship that the Japanese people were proud of in the Nine Ghosts Jialong era was a joke in this naval battle, and due to the slow speed of the ship and the insufficient range of artillery fire, it completely became a target at sea.

The Daming Naval Division did not deliberately annihilate the Japanese Naval Division, nor did they have the intention of seizing the Japanese ironclad warship, because that thing could not sail thousands of miles to reach the Tiger's Den Harbor, and the final result of snatching it was still thrown away.

Moreover, with the tenacity of the Japanese regular army, our side will surely increase too many casualties for no reason if we rush to fight in order to seize the useless spoils of war.

Therefore, Huang Han issued an order to use artillery fire to speak, fire solid bullets, and sink some of the warships of the Japanese naval division as quickly as possible, so as to deter the enemy and break the courage of the Japanese people to fight.

In less than an hour, under the fierce artillery fire of the Ming army, five ironclad ships and six Zhuyin ships of the Japanese State were sunk, and the rest of the Japanese warships fled frantically, and the Ming army did not pursue them at all.

Sure enough, the Japanese people, who had always bullied the weak and feared the hard, saw that this huge fleet of armed forces was very cooperative, and sent important ministers to the sea to negotiate.

Huang Yong, Shen Xianyi, and He Shouxin were sincerely invited with Lin Minghai and Shi Daxuan, as well as four tent rooms who were proficient in Japanese dialect, and they entered the military residence of the general Zhengyi with their heads held high, and directly discussed with Tokugawa Iemitsu about a ten-year plan for win-win cooperation.

The caravan formed by more than 100 warships and merchant ships in Edo Bay between the Ming Dynasty was too frightening, and the Tokugawa shogunate strongly demanded that the future trade location be arranged in Nagasaki, and the trade quota and price were negotiable, but this was the only one that the Tokugawa shogunate insisted on the most.

It is possible that Tokugawa Iemitsu was worried that the Ming fleet would suddenly attack Edo Port, which was lost, and the Ming army could directly land and seize Edo Castle.

The heart of the Tokugawa shogunate is in Edo Castle, of course, to eliminate this hidden danger, if every year because of the arrival of the Ming fleet, the Tokugawa shogunate needs to mobilize the army of the daimyo to concentrate in Edo, passively increase the number of troops guarding Edo Castle, who can stand it?

In the end, the result of the negotiation was a win-win situation, and the Ming promised not to come to Edo for direct trade in the future, and Tokugawa Iemitsu stocked up in April every year to ensure that a special envoy would be sent to Nagasaki in early May to receive the Ming trade representatives, and the varieties and prices of the transactions would be carried out in accordance with the "Edo Treaty" signed by the two sides this time.

Tokugawa Iemitsu originally found that the powerful Ming fleet entered Edo Bay and easily defeated his own sailors, thinking that he would face a strong enemy invasion, but who knew that the result was surprisingly good, and the Tokugawa family actually got the opportunity to trade directly with the Daming.

In the past, the proportion of foreign trade feudal and daimyo was much higher than that of the Tokugawa family, but this time the Tokugawa iemitsu obtained a large number of Ming goods due to a blessing in disguise, and the price was fair.

The porcelain, cotton, silk, ironware and other goods brought by the Ming fleet were easy to sell, and it was easy to double the profits.

The fact that the copper ingots were priced at one tael of silver and seventeen catties by the Ming Dynasty was ignored by Tokugawa Iemitsu, because of the embargo for more than ten years, the Tokugawa shogunate controlled too much copper, and they were already considering getting rid of some of it, and the Ming Dynasty bought 300,000 taels of silver copper ingots at once, which better solved the problem of excessive inventory.

Tokugawa Iemitsu was puzzled by the fact that the Ming Dynasty bought polished rice at a high price of one stone and six coins of silver, and signed a contract to buy no less than 300,000 stone polished rice from his home country every year.

It is no wonder that the Tokugawa family is confused, in the Taiping period of the Wanli year, the rice milled in Jiangnan has been less than one stone and five coins of silver, and the Wa Kingdom is currently generally stable, which is not much different from the Wanli year of the Ming Dynasty.

The industriousness of the Japanese people is no less than that of the Han people, their farming has developed well, and because it belongs to an underdeveloped country, the price of polished rice in recent years is lower than that of the Ming Dynasty.

Alas! Where was Daming destroyed by the bad weather during the Xiaoice River period, but by the anti-bone boys of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, who "did not accept grain" and single-mindedly "grabbed grain".

The common people were coerced by the bandits, forced to leave their homes and plague all the places they passed, which was even more destructive than the passage of locusts.

Originally, after a natural disaster, they could resume production and save themselves, so that most people could survive, but after the scourge of the rogues, it was completely different.

It turned into a vicious circle in which only a small number of murderers such as Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, and Zhang Xianzhong survived with murderous executioners.

Li Zicheng and others took these mobs and waited to plague populated places again, more good people died, and more murderers took risks.

Therefore, the chaotic Ming mainland lost the ability to heal itself, and in the absence of food, only by killing all the rogues who participated in the rebellion could they break their arms to survive.

As a last resort, Huang Han paid a high price to purchase grain from the Japanese state, so that the Japanese people could increase their profits by more than 30 percent, and it was believed that with the purchase contract, it would be profitable, and the spring ploughing area of the Japanese country would be greatly expanded next year.

There are no thieves such as Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, and there are few locust plagues, so there is no doubt about the enthusiasm of farming under the condition that the export of rice can be profitable.

When people work hard to farm and sell rice, they will have the ability to buy silk, cotton cloth, and ironware, and gradually form a virtuous circle.

The Wakoku attached great importance to farming, and Tokugawa Iemitsu was happy to sell polished rice at this price, but unfortunately he didn't know that the Ming Dynasty would have this demand, and Edo Castle was not prepared, so he could only scrape together 250,000 koku in a short time.

Rice can be obtained through labor and is a renewable resource, and it is beneficial for the country to export grain to foreign countries, because in order to ensure exports, the grain production will have more capacity to meet the needs of the country, and the country's resilience will be strengthened in the event of a serious disaster.

At that time, the livelihood of the victims would be solved by simply stopping the export of food.

These Huang Han all understand, but the Ming Dynasty is too short of food, even if he spares no effort to increase investment and increase grain production, he can't keep up with the speed of destruction by the rogues.

In the future, I don't know how much grain will be consumed to bring out the people of Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Henan, and it will be in vain to stabilize the situation and not have enough food on hand.

The Tokugawa shogunate readily signed a contract to sell at least 300,000 koku of rice per year, and they also stated that this was a relatively conservative amount, so that Shen Xianyi was mentally prepared to come to Nagasaki next year to transport 500,000 koku of grain.

Huang Yong and Shen Xianyi left a deposit of 50,000 taels of silver for the negotiators according to Huang Han's instructions, and signed a supplementary agreement on the spot to deliver 500,000 stone polished rice at the port of Nagasaki in May next year.

Although the Wajin were happy to make this good deal, all the daimyo who participated in the negotiations were surprised that the cost of long-distance shipping in this era was too high, and no one had ever done grain business between countries separated by sea.
