It is no wonder that these merchants of the Ming Dynasty were not accustomed to the costumes of the 'queuing party', after all, this is not the mainstream clothing of the times.

Sometimes, it's not bad that something is ahead of the times, it's just that these things are ahead of the times and can make people a little unacceptable. In particular, the aesthetics of the Oriental people in this era are very different from those of Europeans.

So, don't look at the Europeans who get used to it quickly, but not necessarily on the eastern side.

In the eyes of those merchants of the Ming Dynasty, these guys who claimed to be the relics of the Zhao and Song dynasties, their clothes were too fancy and not beautiful at all.

God is pitiful, if Zhao Hongyu's clothes were placed in the eighteenth century, they would be mainstream clothes that could not be in the mainstream.

Of course, only on the European continent.

In the eighteenth century, the East was still under the rule of the barbaric 'I Daqing'.

However, none of this is important, after all, clothing is only some less important places, and the most strange thing for these Ming Dynasty merchants is that these people use 'bird guns'.

This is the most incomprehensible to them.

What is the bird gun, this thing is not better than a bow and arrow, how could these Zhao Song relics choose this kind of weapon.

These merchants of the Ming Dynasty were more or less in contact with the guards in various places, so they still knew a lot about some of the ways of battle formations.

When I don't have anything to do, I will talk to the chief officials of those guards for a day, so I know some knowledge about this.

In fact, in the East, the technology of firearms was still ahead of Europe in this era.

Knowledge, here in the East, for some reason, makes people very unwelcome with this thermal weapon.

First of all, because of technical reasons, the barrel of the bird gun is not very qualified.

For this reason, problems such as exploding or not firing are bothering them.

If these problems are not solved, it will be impossible for the musket to exert its power at all.

And this era is popular in both the East and the West. It's all arquebuses.

Here in the East is no exception.

Arquebuses are powerful, but they are cumbersome to reload.

At the same time, the weight of the arquebus is not light, and it often takes two people to carry it.

This is not as good as a bow and arrow.

Usually the ammunition for the arquebus, combined with the time it takes to fire, is enough for the archers to shoot three or four arrows with their bows outstretched.

In this way, it is not surprising that the arquebus is not welcomed.

Of course, although arquebuses are not welcomed, the Ming Dynasty still cares about artillery.

Thanks to the weapon of artillery, the Ming Dynasty will be inseparable from the 'My Qing Dynasty' in the north.

Although the army over there also had muskets. But this musket was much less powerful for Qing soldiers wearing three layers of cotton armor.

In addition, musketeers need to go through strict training to be proficient in operation, and at the same time fight on the battlefield, the Ming Dynasty did not pay attention to it at all.

Usually it was some new recruits who were given a worn-out musket and sent into battle.

Therefore, the combat effectiveness of such an army can be imagined.

At this point. The musket troops of the Ming Dynasty were indeed inferior to the musketeers of Europe.

In Europe, the musketeers combined with the Spanish phalanx and developed a very skilled set of tactics.

And those musketeers were rigorously trained to know the advantages and disadvantages of muskets.

Therefore. It is only in the face of their opponent's musket fire that they can remain steady rather than afraid.

In short, although the East is now leading in thermal weapons, it has slowly begun to catch up with the Europeans. In more than a hundred years, it will be surpassed.

Now the weapons that the Ming Dynasty can get their hands on, that is, the red-coated cannon, and the primitive rocket 'swarm'.

Inside Zhao Hongyu's camp. Everything is in order, and everyone is doing their job without any chaos. I don't know the military camp of the Ming Dynasty, and after setting up the camp, it becomes a mess, if there is no general to come forward to scold, then it will be like a big market.

The genetic warriors in the camp didn't show much for the arrival of these merchants.

Often, they just look up and then stop paying attention.

Even the patrol team will not show curiosity about these 'foreigners'.

In fact, in the eyes of these genetic people, the people of the Ming Dynasty and those Europeans have nothing to look at.

It's just an ancient turtle.

I don't have a common language with them, and there is a generational gap across generations, so what is there to deal with them.

It is in this state of mind that genetic people will have such a reaction.

However, their reaction made those merchants of the Ming Dynasty look up to them.

Well, although their weapons are not very good, their military appearance is still good. At the same time, these sergeants are also very good, each of them is loyal to his duty and will not be disturbed by external objects.

At this point, Zhenzhen'er is much stronger than the army of the imperial court.

If this was the military camp of the imperial court, if you saw some foreign envoys or foreigners, a group of people would have come around to watch the excitement and then judge it, as if watching a monkey show.

But if you look at the camp of the remnants of Zhao and Song, these sergeants are not curious at all, they are all doing their own things, and they don't have much reaction to their people at all.

What does this mean, it shows that the quality of other soldiers is good.

In general, along the way, these merchants of the Ming Dynasty had mixed evaluations of the camp.

What surprised them the most was that these soldiers of the Zhao and Song relics were really tall and powerful.

If these sergeants are placed on the side of the Ming Dynasty, they are all the elite of the elite, or the general's family.

The big man of 1.8 meters has a fierce face and a burly and sturdy body.

Tut-tut!

That's a real fight.

Among these merchants of the Ming Dynasty, many of them came from the army.

For one reason or another, they were favored by their own owners and then assigned them some tasks.

Eventually, they became part of the trade between the daimyo and the Wa kingdom.

After all, in these years, the Ming Dynasty was able to do maritime trade, except for the princes in the court, the only ones who were able to do maritime trade were the coastal guards.

So. The merchants who traveled between the Wa Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty usually had another identity.

Therefore, those businessmen who were born in the military camp, or who had another identity, saw these elite sergeants, and their eyes were shining.

It's like a hungry wolf seeing fragrant cooked meat.

However, no matter how they looked, these sergeants who made their eyes hot could not become theirs.

These are all soldiers of Zhao Song.

Therefore, they can only sigh in their hearts.

Not long after, under the leadership of the genetic man soldiers. The crowd came out of the tent.

Gene Man Soldier, let the big guys stop, and tell them to wait here, he's going to go in and make a report.

"Your Highness, people bring it!"

"Bring it in."

"Yes!"

With Zhao Hongyu's consent, the gene man turned around and walked outside the tent.

Seeing a large group of people walking in Hulala, a rough estimate of at least thirty people is there.

As soon as they entered, the merchants of the Ming Dynasty bowed with their fists and saluted, and reported their names one after another.

Portuguese merchants and Dutch merchants. It is a Western-style etiquette for Zhao Hongyu.

"I don't know why you came to my camp? But please say it one by one, otherwise it will be bad if it is messed up. After everyone finished saluting, Zhao Hongyu sat in the middle and spoke. Let's start with the Dutch. ”

Present. A Dutch merchant walked out, stroked his chest again, and saluted, "Your Excellency, we are merchants from the Netherlands, and we are trading here in the Wa Kingdom. I didn't know how the Dao Wa Kingdom offended you. provoked you to shell Osaka commercial town ......"

The Dutch, who were selected to speak to Zhao Hongyu, said their intention to come in a very short time.

Because considering that the Japanese people were going to come here to fight the Song people in a short time. So the Dutch don't want to be verbose.

"Oh, do you want to retrieve your merchant ships and get out of here?"

Zhao Hongyu looked at the Dutch expressionlessly.

"Your Excellency, we have no intention of being enemies of you. We have no interest in participating in the grievances between you and the Wa people, and now we only ask that the Lord will return the merchant ships to us and let us leave the Wa Kingdom. ”

Cut, you said you would return it, and now that the boat is in my hands, it will be mine.

Zhao Hongyu sneered in his heart.

Wang Fuzi looked at the Dutchman who was talking eloquently, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

For the Dutch, Wang Fuzi has no good impression at all.

Because, before being rescued by Zhao Hongyu, he and Liu Da Scar still had a group of brothers, but they were captured by the Dutch.

And the Dutch at that time were still fighting with Zheng Zhilong, and they also helped Zheng Zhilong to deal with them together. For this big hatred, Master Wang has always kept it in mind.

Now fortunately, the Dutch merchant ship fell into the hands of Zhao Hongyu.

Then, Master Wang doesn't plan to let these guys go.

Besides, if they were spared, these Dutch would have taken the merchant ships. Wouldn't you still have to be with Zheng Zhilong in the future to deal with their original boss Li Xiang.

Although he has now become a subject of the Song Empire, he has also entered the household registration of Zhao Song.

But anyway, he was also Li Xiang's subordinate before.

That affection is still there, so if he can help Li Xiang, dealing with the Dutch is just a matter of hand.

At the same time, when the Dutch merchant ships can still be dealt with to Li Xiang, Li Xiang's strength will be stronger.

It can be regarded as narrowing the distance between the prince and Li Xiang.

That's a good thing.

Thinking of this, Wang Fuzi groaned for a while and coughed at Zhao Hongyu.

Seeing that Wang Fuzi had such a reaction, how could Zhao Hongyu not understand that he had something to say.

"I'll give you an answer after consulting with my people first."

Zhao Hongyu stabilized the Dutchman, and then turned sideways to look at Wang Fuzi to see what he was going to say. (To be continued......)
