Howard finally agreed to Yang Feng's request, but the transaction between the two sides was carried out in three steps, and thirty warships were delivered in three batches.

The first batch would draw one battleship from the fleet of the East India Company, and nine cruisers would be delivered within a maximum of three months, and then Yang Feng would give them a thousand twelve-pound grenades, as well as all the technical information of the new shells, including drawings.

In the second batch, they will deliver another ten cruisers to Yang Feng, but the time will be extended to eight months.

The East India Company does not have so many warships, they are a group of armed merchants and not a navy, although there are indeed some warships, but it is impossible to give them all to Yang Feng, these will find a way to raise, of course, it is guaranteed to be warships and not armed merchant ships, but Yang Feng needs to give them the overall casting technology of shells.

The third batch consisted of three third-class battleships and seven cruisers, which would be delivered within a year, and Yang Feng would need to give them steelmaking technology by then.

This completes the deal in three steps.

Yang Feng didn't insist on anything, the most important thing for him now was to row as many warships as quickly as possible, and he also knew that the British East India Company was not capable of giving him so many warships at once.

In this way, the two parties finally signed the contract.

Of course, this contract is just a meaning, no matter who breaches the contract on both sides, the other party has no ability to trouble the other party, and the British East India Company at this time is not a hundred years later, at this time they have just opened their stronghold to Calcutta, and East Asia is not really within their reach.

However, this business is not the whole of Howard's trip, in fact, it is only a secondary part, his real target is the luxury goods in Yang Feng's hands, and the things Wallace brought back will shock the bigwigs of the East India Company. They really couldn't imagine a Chinese pirate, although Wallace insisted that Yang Feng was the William of China. Wallace, but the East India Company still thought he was a pirate, and it was astonishing that a pirate could come up with so many wonderful, unbelievable treasures.

The bigwigs of the East India Company also immediately realized how much wealth this thing would bring them when it was sent to Europe, even though it had not yet been delivered to London, and they couldn't wait to get another batch.

In addition, by the way, let's see if we can get a monopoly in Europe from Yang Feng.

"Yes, but for a maximum of five years, and only for the European franchise, not elsewhere, and you must pay me fifty thousand pounds, which must be paid in one lump sum, within three months, and I cannot wait too long for you. You should understand that I have a lot of options, for example, if I send someone to Macau now, the Portuguese will definitely come immediately, and the pricing power of these things belongs to me, and I have the final say on how much I give you. ”

Yang Feng said.

The Spanish throne scuffle is about to begin, and this war that will last for more than ten years will definitely affect the luxury market in Europe.

"We can talk about this in three months."

Howard said with a smile.

Their men went to England by the Red Sea land route to the Mediterranean route, and after three months it was enough to send back the sales in London, when the first warships were delivered, and then we discussed this issue together, and if the sales were hot, of course, anything else, if it was not good.

"Okay, then we'll wait three months."

Yang Feng said indifferently.

As for the goods that Howard needs, this one is not worth mentioning.

After settling these two guys to the original Red Hair Pavilion to rest, Yang Feng immediately arranged the followers brought back this time, and these people, plus some newly recruited locals, happened to be organized into two infantry battalions.

As for training, this can promote a group of officers and soldiers from the first, second, and second battalions to lead these recruits as the backbone, and with these two actual combat experiences, his soldiers can barely be regarded as having combat effectiveness.

With the addition of these two infantry battalions, he actually has an artillery battalion and five infantry battalions, but they are still in the first brigade, mainly because he can't find someone who can be the brigade commander, and the first brigade is still the brigade commander by him, as for the other veterans, they are not suitable for commanding such an army, these people are now mainly used as defenders in Zhoushan.

Yang Feng wanted an army that was completely loyal to him, so the main generals of the field army had to be selected from among the officers he had personally trained.

"Can you get me a small alkaline converter that blows air?"

After this guy returned to his Dashuai's mansion after everything was done, he immediately contacted Lin Qian and said very directly.

Next he is going to start playing the steel industry, he must first prepare the steelmaking furnace, his plan is still pig iron steelmaking, buy a large amount of pig iron from outside, this whether it is the Japanese country, North Korea, or Southeast Asian countries can provide him, although the cost is high, but the iron ore he needs to transport high, and he is not enough ships now.

The rest is nothing more than a chemical iron furnace, the molten iron directly enters the converter steelmaking, most of the iron ore in Asia has high phosphorus content, and the most suitable one must be an alkaline furnace.

"You're exaggerating, aren't you? How big is an converter? How do I get you into your office? ”

Lin Qian said very devastatedly.

"Well, this is not difficult to solve, you find a suitable location, tell me the coordinates of your office as the starting point, I can find the corresponding location here, but this set of stoves does not need to be too big, the smallest size is OK, it is better to disassemble and disassemble into no more than three tons of parts, otherwise it will be difficult for me to move."

Yang Feng said.

The position change on his side and Lin Qian's side is completely synchronized, he walks a hundred meters east and then opens the window, and then Lin Qian walks a hundred meters east over there and will still meet him, in fact, the two time and space seem to overlap together.

But the problem is that even the smallest steelmaking converter has more than ten tons, and this more than ten tons refers to the capacity, and the whole set of equipment is afraid to be tens or hundreds of tons, even with his current ability, it will definitely not be able to be dragged, even if it is dragged, it cannot be installed. In his design, it is better to settle in Zhoushan, before he wanted to be in Keelung, but now he still decided to change to Zhoushan, Keelung only keeps the coke oven, although this affects efficiency, but fortunately he is only training workers in this way, this problem can be ignored.

"But what if some parts are cast in one piece and weigh much more than three tons?"

Lin Qian said.

"Cut it, and then prepare a batch of gas welding for me, I am still very good at playing gas welding."

"But what else needs to be powered by electricity?"

"Steam engine!"

"Uh, you're speechless about your interest."

Well, this is Yang Feng's whole set of design, a converter seems to have a minimum capacity of fifteen tons, disassembled and dragged over to the designed plant for assembly, the weight of more than three tons of cutting and dragging to this side by him is responsible for welding, the assembled converter originally changed to a steam engine. At the time of the invention of the converter, there was no electric motor, so how to play and how to play it was not the same? As for the steam engine, it's not a big deal, even if he doesn't use Lin Qian, he can build it, this thing is mainly the cylinder and crankshaft, his hydraulic boring machine has been completed, and there is no pressure to build the cylinder.

This completes the steelmaking plant.

As for what other rolling steel is not needed for the time being, cast steel can be, get a few ladles to follow, and then cast directly, and his small hydraulic forging machine is also about to be built, although the efficiency is certainly not high, but as an experiment and training workers with enough, so that some of the required steel products can be forged, in short, after the converter is in hand, his steel industry can officially start.

Although he still has Lin Qian's plug-in, he can actually get as much steel as he wants, but it is impossible to rely on the plug-in to mix for a lifetime, and in the future, when he really enters the steel age, the steel he needs will be millions of tons, and if he drags it from Lin Qian, it is estimated that he will not have to do anything else in this life.

With this small steel mill as the basis, you can reproduce yourself, build more steel-making furnaces, build bigger steel-making furnaces, and finally develop into a steel industry, and then build railways, build ships, build countless guns, and go out all over the world to grab territory. This is the best era of colonization, since it is here, how can you dye the world yellow to be worthy of your own strong plug-in, Kang Mazi is a fart, Yang Dashuai is a man who wants to be the captain of the ball, he is at most a leper dog on Yang Dashuai's way forward, and he is also a leper dog waiting to peel off the skin and bones.

"Master, your ginseng tea."

Yang Feng was lying on the table drawing a diagram of his steel mill system, a pair of white and tender little hands put a small bowl beside him, and at the same time a soft voice said.

"Well, put it there!"

Yang Feng said casually.

"Master, if you don't drink it, it's cold."

"How are you, how are you, Xiaorou?"

Yang Feng raised his head and looked at Yilan, the banner girl who was forcibly captured by him.

"Sister Xiaorou and Miss Huang went to the beach together and haven't come back yet."

Ylang said.

"This girl is getting more and more playful!"

Yang Feng said speechlessly, then picked up the bowl of ginseng tea, and was just about to pour it into his mouth, the golden dragon's body suddenly twisted, and suddenly crossed his mouth, this guy's brain moved to look at Yilan, who was lowering his head, but he could see that his hanging hands were trembling slightly.

"Drank it."

Yang Feng handed her the ginseng tea and said.

"Slave, slave don't dare!"

Ylan-ylang's hands trembled even more.

"Don't dare? Aren't you bold? You dared to poison me. ”

Yang Feng said with a sneer.

Yilan turned around and ran without hesitation, but was grabbed by Yang Feng by the collar.

It was hot and she was wearing thin, and there were no buttons in her clothes, and her running power was suddenly pulled open to reveal the small pocket inside, Yang Dashuai was holding it, and she was lured by this scene, coupled with her screams that stimulated men's instincts, how could she bear it?

Without hesitation, he stood up and dragged her over, then pressed her head down on the table, leaned forward to hold her down, lifted the clothes on top with both hands, and lifted the skirt below, tearing the inside to reveal the wasteland that no one had ever set foot on, and then took out his weapon, grabbed her hair with one hand, held the weapon with the other, and unceremoniously thrust it into the end, and began to move amid the screams of pain from Ilan.
