Zheng Sen stayed in the Tokugawa shogunate for another two days, and they had extensive, frank and in-depth discussions on cooperation between the two sides, and reached a broad consensus on some major issues of common concern at home and abroad, and they all agreed that cooperation between the two sides is beneficial and indispensable for the realization of everyone's common interests.

According to the agreement between the two parties, Zheng Sen will provide the shogunate with advanced professional warships at a preferential price and provide corresponding training services. The shogunate, on the other hand, paid for it with silver and copper. In order to improve the shogunate's ability to pay, the Zheng family will also provide corresponding technical guidance in mining and smelting.

As a first deal, Zheng Sen would first provide the shogunate with a patrol ship and related personnel training. This cruiser was certainly not a state-of-the-art fast cruiser like the "Zhenjiang", but a warship captured from the Spaniards. This warship suffered some damage in the battle, although it was repaired, and some improvements were made, and it had another name, called "Laiyuan", but because of the original design of this ship, its speed has never been able to keep up with the Zheng family's fast cruisers, and if it is added to the formation, it will only slow down the speed of the entire formation. So this ship has always been used as a personnel training ship in the Zheng family. In terms of combat effectiveness, the combat effectiveness of this ship is far from being comparable to those of the latest warships of the Zheng family, and after the decision to sell it to Japan, the ship was later towed into the dock and made some changes, yes, not improvements, but changes.

Some of the original improvements on this warship have been changed back, such as the original addition of a lot of ribs to the hull in order to increase strength. The ribs were dismantled again. In addition, the ship's own guns were removed. In fact, these guns are close to the end of their service life because of their long-term use. As a training ship, when conducting artillery training, it is rare to fire shells with a full charge. However, their unique double-layer structure is still a very important secret, and the technique of double-layer barrel is actually very simple, and if others know about it, it is not difficult to imitate it, so this kind of gun cannot be sold. Most of these old cannons will be sent back to the furnace, and some foreign trade cannons will be loaded on this ship.

At the beginning, when the "Laiyuan" was improved, in order to fit the Zheng family's combat style, the ship on the one hand added ribs to strengthen the defense, and on the other hand, the number of guns was reduced to reduce the weight, in order to achieve faster speed. Naturally, the gun doors were reduced after the artillery was reduced, but now they have not been changed back.

After such a change, the overall combat effectiveness of this ship has actually decreased a lot, so this is not an improvement, but a change. This is also the common practice of those great powers in later generations when they sell weapons to other countries, and although the weapons they sell are similar to those they use on the outside, they are in fact very different from those of people and monkeys. For example, when the woolly bear buys a tank for the camels, he often takes out the high-strength ceramics that need to be kept secret from the composite armor, and then stuffs a little fiberglass into it instead. By the way, I also changed the armor-piercing projectile from tungsten carbide to high-carbon steel. In addition to the hairy bear, the white eagle is not bad. In terms of tank technology, the White Eagle lit up the unique depleted uranium armor technology tree very early, and since this is in place, ordinary composite armor will naturally not spend any more points. But when he sells tanks to camels to make money, in order to keep a unique technical secret, this depleted uranium composite armor naturally can't be given, ordinary composite armor? I haven't studied it for decades, what should I do? It's as simple as putting on the most advanced ordinary composite armor from decades ago. Like the practices of these great powers in later generations, what Zheng Sen sold to the Japanese was also a monkey version of the cruiser.

But even so, this ship is still an incomparably advanced and powerful existence compared to those Japanese otaku ships or seki ships. If it was on the open sea, the entire shogunate's navy would have little to do with the ship. So the shogunate was still very satisfied.

After negotiating this deal, Zheng Sen will no longer stay in Japan for long, he came to Japan this time, and his initial goal was only to get his mother back, and now he has made this deal easily, for him, it can be regarded as satisfying. And the family is busy right now.

After saying goodbye to Tokugawa, Zheng Sen boarded the "Zhenjiang" and returned to Nagasaki to meet his mother. At this time, the Tagawa clan had already arrived at Dejima with Dong You, Li Xiangjun and others. By this time, several other ships had been loaded with various goods purchased from Japan, such as copper, sulfur, Japanese cypress, cedar, pine, and things like Japanese knives and paper fans, and were ready to return home. Therefore, after Zheng Sen arrived, he did not stay any longer in Dejima, and the next day the entire fleet lifted anchor and left Nagasaki.

At this time, it was the end of October of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, and the deputy ship returning from Japan was full of cargo, and the wind direction was unfavorable, and the speed of the fleet had a noticeable effect. By the time the fleet returned to Fujian, it was already mid-November. At this time, it was the coldest time of the entire Xiaoice period, and even Fujian had a snowfall. Standing on the bow of the ship now, Zheng Sen looked to the west, and on the mountains in the distance, he could still see the snow.

After a while, the ship approached the port of Anping. Previously, when the flotilla approached Taiwan, it had already encountered a patrolling flotilla, and since then it has been accompanied by clippers all the way. So the docks were already full of people coming to greet them.

This was the first time that the Tagawa clan saw the land of the legendary Daming. Although Tagawa had often heard from his adoptive father, husband, and other Japanese people about the wealth and prosperity of the Ming Dynasty. In these descriptions, Daming almost becomes a fairyland-like place.

In this era, Daming is the center of the whole world, just like the view of many people from third world countries in later generations about the lighthouse country, in this era, in the eyes of the Japanese, and even most people, Daming is a fairyland-like place. Compared to Japan, where even the samurai only had a light rice ball to eat (a certain daimyo ate with his son, and there was nothing to eat, so he hung a fish, looked at the fish and ate a bite of rice balls, and the son looked at it a few more times, and was scolded by his father), or compared to Europe under the dual oppression of religion and aristocracy, Daming can definitely be regarded as a good place where even the air has a sweet taste of freedom.

Naturally, the Tagawa clan will not be immune to these statements. Anping, which appeared in front of her now, was only a small place as far as she knew, but from a distance, the prosperity on the dock was no longer comparable to Nagasaki. And there are many women around her husband, these women are all Ming people, and their appearance and background are no less than her, which also makes her a little nervous, and she is a little panicked like a country man entering the city.

"Mom, this is Anping. You see, my father is waiting for us at the docks with someone. At this time, her son's gentle voice suddenly sounded in her ears. Somehow, Tagawa suddenly felt a sense of relief.
