After the founding ceremony, representatives of many forces took action one after another, and the sycophants of the Ryukyus, Sulu, Boni and other vassal countries sent them without money, hoping that China would give them a reward several times the tribute as before. It's a pity that China is much more pragmatic now, and how much money they send in gifts corresponds to how much money they give in return; Of course, if you want more, it's not impossible, so let's exchange it for resources such as minerals; Of course, Ma Siguan has no opinion on this, he relies on his relationship with the Red Flower Society to account for a large part of the share of Ryukyu mining production, this condition is much better than a simple reward, the reward can only drift a little, most of it still has to be supplied to the King of Zhongshan, and the mining contract is all his own!

Secretly calculating the income of his family after the expansion, Ma Siguan smiled happily, "Okay, please rest assured, the minister will definitely do these things for the kingdom." ”

"Well, Master Ma is familiar with the local situation, I have advanced technology, and our joint factory for mining will greatly improve efficiency!" , Ma Sihua nodded and said, "The Holy One means that since we have cooperated, we must be stable first, and if Lord Ma encounters a traitor in the court in the future, you can go to my Chinese embassy for help!" ”

At present, China has established embassies in Shurijo Castle and Kagoshima in the Ryukyus, and negotiations with the British are also underway.

Ma Siguan was overjoyed when he heard this, this is a talisman for himself! Who will dare to mess with themselves in the Ryukyus in the future? Hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you to the kingdom for loving the minister, the minister has nothing to repay, only to do things for the kingdom, and do his best to die!" ”

"If only you understood!" , Wu Sihua said lightly, "But if you lose my Chinese face by doing evil, we will definitely not sit idly by!" Although Wu Sihua doesn't know that the two devils are more hateful than the devils, he has a superior background. It's not uncommon for evil slaves to rely on the power of the master's family to oppress the good, isn't that what Cao Xueqin wrote in the book that died a while ago! So he piggybacks on a warning to Officer Ma!

Like a scoop of cold water poured on his head, Ma Si's official was a little proud, and he hurriedly cursed and swore before he dealt with this matter.

The lands of Bo Ni and Sulu are now largely Chinese territory, and the reason why these two kings are still only used to appease the local natives. Now that the situation is gradually stabilizing, their role is getting smaller and smaller, so the two royal families are more and more worried about their future, and besides, their turf life is hard, otherwise there would be no twist and turn in history when the king of Sulu asked for the annex, so the envoys of the two families once again made the request for the annex.

Chen Jialuo had already arranged for this, and allowed the two families to make mistakes, agreeing that they would hold on for another five years, and after five years, the royal family would move the entire family inland. When the time comes, they will be given two Chinese nationals and a family with the title of earl, and the title plus the income from the fief will be almost enough for their family to enjoy life in Nanjing.

The envoys were also overjoyed when they heard this, they themselves were members of the royal families of the two countries, so wouldn't they be able to live in such a prosperous city? Hurriedly thanked him, and I couldn't wait to stay in Nanjing now!

The Satsuma clan has always been ambitious, and the elders of the Okubo family couldn't help but think about it after seeing the excellent equipment of the Red Flower Society, if they could get the support of China. So after the Satsuma Clan has accumulated a few years of strength, will it be able to go to Luo? The Tokugawa family has been a shogun long enough, so it's the turn of the Shimazu family to sit down, right?

Of course, it is most appropriate for Wu Sihua, who is familiar with the Japanese state, to deal with the affairs of the Japanese state. He now has a position in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and in his office he met with the elder Okubo family, who had come to test him.

After being polite for a long time, the old man of the Okubo family saw Wu Sihua showing a slightly impatient look, so he hurriedly said his intention and asked the Satsuma clan if he could buy the rifles used by the Chinese army.

"I can make the decision on this matter, and if the Satsuma clan is interested, you can directly contact the Ministry of Commerce. I can help you introduce Minister Zhao! This was also expected, and if they sold weapons to the Satsuma clan, they would definitely attack other daimyos, and then the Wa Kingdom would be in chaos. And once the situation is chaotic, China will have a chance.

"Thank you, sir! The contemptible vassal wants to buy a thousand iron cannons first, but I don't know that the cannons may be sold? Okubo heard the price, and it was still within his acceptable range, although he lost so much silver from China and the Ryukyus, but the Satsuma Domain had continued somewhat over the years, so he hurriedly agreed.

"These will be divided into specific models, but even if they are sold to you, will you use them?" , Wu Sihua proposed his own plan, "I, China, can provide various instructors for the Satsuma Domain to teach your samurai how to use these weapons!" ”

"Then it's troublesome!" , Okubo immediately kowtowed.

At the same time, Winston and Nelson, representatives of the British Empire, also came to Kong Chuanliu's office to visit, and Chen Jialuo really hesitated about whether to sell weapons to Britain, Britain is no match for the Japanese country, with Britain's current industrial capacity, as soon as he sees the prototype of these rifles, he may be able to imitate them immediately.

But after thinking about it, even if they don't sell it to them, they will try to get one or two samples, but it takes time to analyze and study, and since they can't prevent it, it's better to exchange some good things with them; So after some bargaining, China sent technical information on rifles, artillery, and hot air balloons, and the British Empire exchanged some information on shipbuilding.

Of course, there were many things that Nelson and Winston could not call the shots, and the two of them immediately embarked on a journey back to India after receiving the cooperation plan, and when they arrived in India, they were persuaded to persuade the local governor to apply to the mainland, which took a long time, and hopefully the other European countries did not notice it in the meantime.

But how could Chen Jialuo let him get his wish, and after they left, he contacted the French representatives through the channels of Gao Zhisi and Yang Dewang, and sold these things to the French again.

In the future, when England and France fought in Europe, both sides used Chinese-designed weapons, and this picture is touching when you think about it! This thing is much more lethal than a smoothbore gun, so let's have fun!

After all, Europe is too far away, and now there is no telephone, Internet, can only rely on sea ships to transmit messages, this back and forth I don't know how long, everything can be done, now is just waiting for a response.

After dealing with these things, it was finally Ma Chaozhu's turn to ask. (To be continued......)
