Selling firearms to the Wa State, at first Zhang Mao, the commander-in-chief, did not agree to this, selling firearms to the Wa State, in case they turned their heads and used firearms to attack the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't they become a capital enemy?

But then Xia Yuan said that he was moved, and now that he has changed his strategy, he will simply change more thoroughly, and it is impossible for the Ming army to defeat the entire Wa State, so it is better to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, so that the war of the Wa State will be fully escalated.

He wanted to sell weapons not only to the Ashikaga shogunate, but also to the daimyo who had divided the country.

The Ming army carried tens of thousands of firearms on this expedition, and there were more than 20,000 explosives bags left.

The cost of a firearm is about three taels of silver, and the cost of an explosives bag is even cheaper, less than one tael.

As long as it is sold, almost all of it is a profit, not to mention all of it is sold off, as long as half of it can be sold, it is a profit of tens of millions of taels.

At that time, they left a group of men and horses to defend Sado Island with artillery, and the rest returned to Japan with all the money they earned, and the Japanese people took the firearms and explosives bags they bought and beat them to death.

With the current war situation of the Wa Kingdom and the addition of Daming Firearms, the war will inevitably escalate in an all-round way, and the escalation of the scale of the war means that the death toll will increase significantly.

During this period, the Ming Dynasty could use the silver earned to carry out the Western Ocean, even if tens of millions of taels were not enough, they could also develop the gold and silver mines on Sado Island, and develop the rest of the silver mines in the Wa Kingdom.

After going to the West, the Ming Dynasty will come into contact with the advanced weapons of the West, and according to the habits of the Ming Dynasty, they will definitely imitate them and develop better ones by themselves.

In the past ten or twenty years, the war of the Japanese kingdom will never stop, and according to this assumption, after ten or twenty years, what the Ming Dynasty will develop into, I can't say, but it will be much stronger than now.

At that time, after years of war, the Ming Dynasty became stronger, whether it was to annex the entire Japanese Kingdom or to control the entire Japanese Kingdom, it was much easier than now.

It's going to be a ten, twenty, or even thirty year plan.

And the first step of this plan is to sell the firearms to the Hosokawa Masamoto in front of them, so that the Ashikaga shogunate can take the firearms to conquer the rest of the daimyo, so that the rest of the Wa Kingdom can also feel a little shock from the firearms, and then they all come to Daming to buy firearms.

Xia Yuan stared at Hosokawa Masamoto, and now he was waiting for this little devil to agree and ask how much he wanted to buy.

It's just that Hosokawa Masamoto was silent, and his face was embarrassed, and after a while, he leaned down and asked, "I wonder if your country's firearms can be cheaper?" ”

"It's not cheap, I said that you are the cost price, which is made by spending a lot of silver, you are too expensive and I am too expensive."

"But the shogunate is in a difficult financial situation right now, and it really can't come up with much money."

"Can't get the money? What shogunate did you open if you couldn't get the money? ”

Xia Yuan adjusted his sitting posture, "You don't have any money, you are financially difficult, you are reasonable, but this is the lowest price, no matter how cheap it is, we will lose money, you buy things, and you still want me to sell things at a loss, is there such a reason in the world?" I'm not your father, I have to get used to you and let you. ”

"Yes"

"What's but, no, even if you want to be my son of the Ming Dynasty, it won't work, it's natural for a son to be filial to his father, and you can't let your father cut meat to support you."

“.”

Hosokawa Masamoto was speechless, he felt that the person in front of him was deliberately taking advantage of him, but he had no evidence, and even if he did, he didn't dare to care.

Xia Yuan's tone was calm, "There is a way to buy more money with more money, and there is a way to buy with less money, let me ask first, how much money can you take out to buy firearms?" ”

Hosokawa Masamoto thought about it in his heart and said loudly: "About 100,000 taels." ”

"100,000 taels is a bit less, buy a thousand three-eyed guns, plus ammunition, it's about the same."

"Ammunition?"

Hosokawa Masato couldn't help but shout, Xia Yuan raised his eyebrows, "What, you only buy firearms and don't buy ammunition?" Or do you want me to give you ammo? ”

"No, I want to buy your country's ammunition."

Hosokawa Masamoto bowed down again, thinking that 100,000 taels of silver could buy a thousand three-eyed god guns, as well as thousands of generals' cannons, which could also arm an elite of 1,000 people.

But the ammunition was missed.

"There are only 100,000 taels, then buy 100,000 taels first, if you want more, you can exchange the land, such as where you currently control, and then give it directly to Daming, and then I will evaluate it to see how much this place is worth."

Hosokawa Masamoto rejected this proposal without even thinking about it, and according to the contract, the ceded Sado Island was not under their control, and now the shogunate still controls only Kyoto and some of the surrounding areas.

If it is cut out, there will not even be a place to stay.

Seeing that he refused, Xia Yuan didn't care, and said his true intentions, "Then you will exchange people." ”

"Swap people?"

"Yes, exchanging people, both men and women, at this price, men will be worth two taels of silver, and women will be worth one or two pieces of silver."

"This" Hosokawa Masamoto's eyes were a little distracted, Xia Yuan leaned down, "What, this is also difficult?" ”

"It's not that hard to do, but"

"What's the matter, I didn't let you exchange your own people, now that the Japanese country is at war all year round, and there are traitors everywhere, you can attack those traitors and then capture their people.

I have no restrictions on the conditions, you can do anything, we want to fight prisoners to win the population, we also want people to be captured in the mountains and wilderness, of course, as long as adults, children we don't want. ”

"It's not difficult to fight a battle, it's not difficult to capture thousands of people, when the time comes, you can use it to exchange weapons, and exchange the enemy's population for your weapons, which can not only fight the enemy forces, but also enhance your own strength, how to think about how cost-effective this deal, I am moved."

“.”

Hosokawa Masato was stunned for a moment, moved his Adam's apple, raised his head and asked the question he didn't ask just now, "But what does your country want to do?" ”

Of course, it is to catch mining, the gold and silver mines on Sado Island are waiting to be developed, and there is an urgent shortage of mining people, and the danger factor of going to the mine is too great in these years, and it is time and effort to use the Ming army to arrest the local Japanese people, and it is inevitable that there will be casualties.

It's better to buy and sell the Japanese people, and bring them all back to mine for me.

And how many you want, there is no limit to who comes, the mine can't be stuffed, and the Ming Dynasty still needs people, building rivers and roads, building embankments and bridges, these are all levies and levies.

With the Japanese people, then the Ming people can be liberated from heavy labor, and the Japanese people are consumables, and they are not distressed if they are used badly, just buy them again, and let me do it to death.

Moreover, this method can further reduce the population of the Wa Kingdom, in an era when population is a productive force, the serf trade, and the war that has escalated due to firearms, both of which will be abolished in a few years.

"You still asked me about it, I don't know what to do when I buy it back, maybe I will ship it back to Daming and sell it, and let them give me the official gentry of Daming as a person, if it weren't for the fact that you are poor and have no money, and you want to buy firearms, do you think I want you to exchange people for firearms? I am a big country, is there still a shortage of people? ”

The plot of the Wa Kingdom will end in two or three chapters.
