Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

With the gathering of most of the shipbuilding craftsmen in the south of the Yangtze River in Rugao County, under the supply of reorganized raw materials, all the shipyard craftsmen implemented a three-shift policy. The large and small shipyards in the Rugao territory are brightly lit all the time, and the shipyards let batches of sea ships be launched as quickly as possible. The capacity of sea vessels is no longer the main reason for limiting the number of migrants. Food production has become a limitation. Of course, with the continuous opening of Taiwan's grain-producing areas, the number of large immigrants will double this year. Temporarily meeting the needs of migrant transport capacity does not mean a slowdown in the shipbuilding industry, and now every vessel can generate capacity, and there is no fishing moratorium in Chengpan's fishing industry now. As for the issue of renewal, Cheng Pan is ready to leave it to future generations to consider. Now it's a bit to stretch as high and fill your stomach as possible. In the future, there is a land of beautiful mountains and rivers waiting to be occupied.

The number of ships supports the exhibition of the navigation industry, and Japan's shipping lanes are now also opened, for the current Japan, Cheng Pan is not in the mood to rectify him, at this time Japan is sad about the fallen Central Plains, of course, their minds will change after a few hundred years, and they want to replace the orthodox status of the Chinese civilization circle after the Ming Dynasty. At this time, Japan didn't have these thoughts, and he was having a headache about his own fucking housework.

At this time, Japan was in the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the reason for this situation was the uneven distribution of benefits after the last Shogunate War. After the successful downfall, Emperor Daigo of Japan did not give power to the samurai class who helped him to take power, but instead reused the minister-secretary class in large quantities, channeling the dissatisfaction of the original shogun Ashikaga Takashi. So the next birth is very natural. The Ashikaga clan, who had mastered the force, decided to change to an obedient emperor. Here I have to say that the emperor of Japan really has an immortal halo, and the name of the descendant of Amaterasu Okami makes Ashikaga Zunji not have the idea of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots. So let the abdicated Emperor Daigo flee back to the south with the three artifacts that are said to be left behind by Amaterasu, ahem, the so-called south is Yoshino dozens of miles to the south.

After learning the news from Japan, Cheng Pan decided on the trade route. It said above that Cheng Pan is not ready to deliberately rectify Japan, which does not mean that Japan is not rectified. In order to make money, Cheng Pan's imperialist role changed very quickly. Since there is a war, there is an arms market. Supporting the confrontation between weak and strong forces is the best choice for Cheng Pan to maximize the interests of this market for a long time. Of course, at this time, Japan did not have a big market for a war at the level of a family. But for the sake of Japan's sulfur, Cheng Pan decided to play this game of foreign interference.

When the first fleet of flying arrows appeared on the Kii Peninsula in present-day Honhon, the local Japanese thought that the Yuan Dynasty was coming on another expedition, and the nearby daimyo and Oyama clans immediately appealed to the surrounding daimyo for help, and even the slogan of the whole of Japan united came out. It is no wonder that at this time, the Southern Dynasty has been crushed by the north, and 7o% of the country's forces are basically thinking about the Northern Dynasty. Cheng Pan would not have chosen this place to climb 6 otherwise. The location of Tokyo Bay is much better than that. The southern daimyo wanted to use this slogan to take a breath, and no matter how bad it was, he hoped to grasp this anti-Yuan righteousness, and not let the Northern Dynasty stab himself in the back. Of course, when the 1,000-strong Southern Korean army came to the site of Cheng Pan6 and confronted the phalanx of 300 sailors of the Communist Army, the two sides began to negotiate. The misunderstanding was cleared up, the fleet from Taiwan was for trade, not for war. Japan's Southern Dynasties said that trade can but cannot occupy this place, at least the three hundred samurai can not stay here, God is pitiful, just how much pressure these three hundred sailors bring to them, but this is indeed the case, Japan's frequent war of annihilation is often to knock down a few Chinese landlord manor-level fortresses, otherwise how can some Japanese generals have a record of destroying the country dozens of times in their lives. The sailors of Cheng Pan's trading fleet were too tall compared to Japan at this time due to their good nutrition, and because these sailors had undergone simple military training. Therefore, in the eyes of the Japanese, this kind of unclear intention is a big variable in the current situation in Japan.

After bargaining, the captain of the ship, Mu Zihe, asked that 50 people be left behind to protect the security of the merchant management, and the local daimyo was responsible for the security of the trade port. After the agreement was reached, the principal of Japan, who was in charge of the negotiations, asked, "Dare to ask Ki-kun what goods he brought with him to Japan this time." Mu Zihe scolded in his heart: "The business person has only decided to look at the goods until now, and you will die if you do business" He said with a smile on his face: "Mainly some iron pots, iron farm tools, iron axes, and cloth, we will unload the goods immediately You can see." When I heard this, the Japanese were stunned, and then there was a hint of excitement in their eyes. said: "Then there is work, you are done".

Two hours later, the Japanese kept knocking on these steel civilian items, Miyazaki was personally very interested in cleaning products and soaps, and Miyazaki, who came from the minister's class, was very attentive to things that were elegant, but he was still clear-headed, compared to the Japanese nobles who had lead poisoning in their heads due to the powder on their faces. I still understand that these steel tools in front of me are the most important things for the Southern Dynasties. The samurai who accompanied him collided with the edges of these shovel knives with their steel knives. As a result, it is often the family's heirloom katana that is injured. At this time, the Japanese who came to negotiate understood the richness of the Central Plains, and even used fine steel to build agricultural tools. Some of the Japanese who had damaged the family heirloom sword had already negotiated with their own family negotiators to customize a weapon from the caravan. From this aspect, it can also be seen that these Japanese samurai were loyal to their master's family, and none of them privately talked to Mu Zihe's caravan about weapons.

So after the inspection of the goods, the second negotiation began, the Japanese Southern Dynasty side said that it was very satisfied with the goods, and Miyazaki, who spoke for the daimyo of the Southern Dynasty this time, said that these goods will be eaten as much as they will in the future. At the same time, Miyazaki vaguely said that at this time, Emperor Gomurakami, who had three artifacts in the south, was the orthodox who had been canonized by the Central Plains Dynasty, and as the Han people of the Central Plains, they should not communicate with the rebellious ministers and thieves in the north. Kikohe gave a clear reply based on the policy reached by Cheng Pan and the administrative team when he came, saying that he would only do business with daimyo who respected the orthodoxy of the south, but every time he came to trade, he hoped that the orthodox emperor would give him a list of daimyo who were loyal to orthodoxy. Miyazaki was very interested in this kind of strengthening of royal power. The prospect of obtaining high-quality iron only with the consent of the emperor is very good, and since it is necessary to choose a proxy, it is necessary to be thorough. Mu Zihe threw out the last piece of flatbread. Completely smashed Miyazaki unconscious.

Mu Zihe said: "We are very unhappy that the emperor of your country is now being bullied by villains, and our supreme commander has decided to sell your king a weapon." Miyazaki said suspiciously: "You still have goods that have not been unloaded?" Mu Zihe said: "I am only willing to sell the following commodities to your king, and I am not willing to let other forces in your country get them." Miyazaki was full of curiosity and only drove the accompanying daimyo to the last big ship, and when he got on the boat, Miyazaki felt that the Celestial Empire was worthy of the Celestial Empire, and even if it fell, it would still be possible to build such a mountain-like sea ship. When he followed Mu Zihe to the cabin, Mu Zihe pried open a cargo box full of oiled paper bags. When the appearance of the goods was revealed after dismantling, Miyazaki couldn't help but be surprised, the crossbow, this weapon since its inception is the weapon of agricultural civilization against cavalry, the crossbow was introduced to Japan from the Korean Peninsula in the sixth century AD, but in the early 11th century in the history of Japan disappeared, and the Japanese nation is very strange bed crossbow is not an arrow but a stone. The reason for the disappearance of crossbows in Japan is that the process of making zuò is complicated, the cost of making zuò is large, and it is time-consuming, and it is probably several times that of the bow in terms of time and cost, and the samurai class in ancient Japan did not want a weapon that could kill samurai on a large scale with a farmer in his hand, so the crossbow was replaced by a cheap short bow. As for the expensive crossbow, which is almost as effective in the hands of samurai and farmers, who would equip a lowly farmer with such a sophisticated weapon. But no one dared to deny the power of the crossbow, and the Japanese once named their dreadnought-class battleships the crossbow-class.

Two hours later, Miyazaki expressed his frustration that the crossbows brought by Mu Zihe were so powerful that they could have an effective range of up to 200 meters due to the large number of metal parts and pulleys. But at this time, the Japanese emperor was a poor man, and if he had money, how could he let the daimyo from all over the world be so nonsense. Miyazaki originally thought that the advanced weapons were sharp knives or something, and Miyazaki's original plan was to transfer these advanced weapons to the daimyo who supported the emperor. But I didn't expect it to be a crossbow, and such a large number (5oo sets) of crossbows flowing into any one would cause an imbalance. Miyazaki said with a wry smile: "Your weapons are really sharp, and the price is fair, but my king really can't take out this money." Mu Zihe said: "As long as the king of your country decides to ask for this batch of weapons, money is not a problem, and what the king of your country can help us is far from being solved by money."

Mu Zihe told the plan formulated by the foreign trade team and Cheng Pan, so that Miyazaki felt that the willows were dark and the flowers were bright and another village. This plan is to buy sulfur, copper and other minerals needed by Cheng Pan's territory in Japan in the name of the Japanese emperor, and Cheng Pan will give the king of Japan a rebate of one-twentieth in addition to the cash paid. This is the standard imperialist rhythm of propping up agents. But for the Southern Dynasty, which was pressed by the Northern Dynasty at this time, it was equivalent to picking up money halfway. This scheme allowed the Southern Dynasty to make both money and its own armed forces.

Cheng Pan's mention was very pertinent and practically needed by the Southern Dynasty, so the two sides hit it off. This military-economic package agreement was reached, and after this agreement was reached, in order to ensure that the Japanese crossbow regiment had strong combat effectiveness, Mu Zihe sent a specially written crossbow version of the gun shooting tactics, as well as simple queue training. Cheng Pan complained about this: "Houcun, Houcun, brother can only help you here, don't pit me like Chang Kaishen pits the United States."

Since you are meddling in the political situation in Japan, let's shoot another base. The uninhabited island in Hokkaido is very good, and it was decided that it was you, because it was too far to take a boat from the Rugao base to take a sea route for more than ten days, and the initial investment in this land was not as huge as the Taiwan territory. However, as a war horse breeding factory, it provided a huge boost in the later unification war.

At this time, Hokkaido was a no-man's land, which is not true, and there were some non-Japanese ethnic minorities living here. Due to the strong guarantee of military force and the abundant import of goods, the native people of Hokkaido, who have a small population, moved out of the forest to live, learned Chinese and changed their names within 3o years. With a population of less than 20,000, they were completely assimilated by civilization. Since then, Hokkaido has been renamed Tohoku Island, Taiwan and Hainan Island, and is known as the three brightest pearls on the Shenzhou Grand 6.
