All Heavens Dragon System - Chapter 2824
The messengers are all stupid. You come to our Nagasaki for a wild bombardment, destroying our fleet, burning our warehouse, and blasting our Nagasaki city. Now let us lose money? Isn’t this a robber! Um, it seems that this person in front of you is a pirate. Since he is a pirate, it seems normal to say these things, right?
So the messenger went back dingy with Shen Long’s compensation list. Why are these shells and gunpowder so expensive, but now the situation is better than others, and he doesn’t dare to bargain.
Since you have agreed to even long-term trade, if you give up your previous efforts because of a little money, then your previous grievances are not in vain? Nagasaki was also very helpless and could only agree to Shen Long’s terms.
After claiming the compensation, Shen Long traded the silk, mirrors, soap, perfume and other items in the shipping cabin with Nagasaki. The quality of these items was unusually good, much better than the products sent by the Dutch.
Seeing this, Nagasaki’s mood is finally a little better. If the shogunate can monopolize this transaction, there may be a profit. As long as the shogunate can get enough money, perhaps the bedwetting general can forgive it. Me?
sold all the goods on the ship, and there were still vacant spaces, so Shen Long took out a small box, “this time I don’t bring much goods, I will buy the rest with gold!”
Then he opened the small box and fell over. Although the box is small, the gold in it seems to be endless, and in a short while, a hill is piled up in front of the messenger.
But why do these gold coins look so familiar? The messenger looked at the thin round gold coins in front of him, and tried to pick up a piece of gold to look closely. These seemed to be the finest gold judges in the Qingchang period, and there weren’t any bad ones in the Yuanlu period! And… and it seems to be exactly the same as the inventory in the Nagasaki Magistrate.
What exactly is going on? After the Battle of Sekigahara that year, the Tokugawa clan established a new currency system with Keicho gold and silver, and cast a large number of “Keicho Kosan” and “One Subjugation” in the gold seats in Edo, Kyoto, Suruga and other places as the national currency. In this period, the gold content of Jin Xiaopan was relatively high, but in the Genroku reign, the quality declined. Therefore, the Qingchang Jin Xiaopan became the most popular hard currency in Japan. Ordinary people are reluctant to use it. Why does he have so much?
He knew that these were originally blackmailed by Shen Long from Nagasaki in the world of “Pirates of the Caribbean”. He blackmailed their family gold before, and now he uses this gold to buy things from them. It is really interesting to think about it. what!
Well, anyway, it is also a scarce thing in the shogunate. It is enough for people to trade gold to save face. The messenger did not dare to entangle, so he put away these Qingchangjin sub-sanctions and asked the cargo ship to transport a ship of copper and saltpeter On Shen Long’s battleship, the space was full, and Shen Long nodded in satisfaction.
“Well, wouldn’t it be enough? You have to fight a battle first. Isn’t this just for yourself? Okay, this time I will go first. I will bring new goods next month. Prepare the copper and saltpetre I want in advance! Don’t delay my time, or I will go to Edo to talk to your bedwetting general!” Shen Long waved his hand and let the messenger go away.
Seeing that terrifying black ship disappeared on the horizon, Nagasaki Pursue was completely relieved, but then I took a look at the broken ships floating on the water in the port, the warehouses still burning in the port, and finally took a look. Nagasaki obeyed and cried for the holes in the walls of Osaka Castle that were punched out by shells. How should I explain to the general?
These things are not about Shen Long’s business. He can explain as much as he likes. If he can’t explain, it doesn’t matter if he is ordered by the general to cut his belly and apologize. Will the next Osaka practice dare to tear up the contract? In this case, I will blow it up again, this time I really need to go to Edo to find the bedwetting general.
General Perry brought the Black Ship fleet to Japan twice, can I scare them twice too! If the bedwetting general did not agree, I would burn Edo Castle, and then look for the descendants of the Western Army who was defeated in the Sekihara Battle. They have always been worried about what happened in the past. If there is a chance to make trouble , They will definitely not let it go.
Shen Long returned with a full load of battleships, returned to the island, unloaded the saltpetre and copper, and sent them to a family workshop. These raw materials will become cannons and gunpowder, and continue to strengthen themselves.
“Next time you go to Nagasaki, you can go by yourself! If you have any problems, just hit it!” Shen Long told his men that they shouldn’t always go out on their own. You should also try to let them be alone.
So in the second month, the one who led the warship out to sea became Liu Qing, while Shen Long stayed on the island, handled internal affairs, and went to various workshops for guidance. These people had very little experience, whether it was shipbuilding, gun building or He needed his guidance to make gunpowder, but slowly, these people gradually got used to it.
Working in a workshop during the day to accumulate experience ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ in the evening at night school to train theoretical knowledge, these craftsmen are improving at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In addition to workers, the training of military and government officials has not been relaxed. Commodities without guns will be swallowed by people sooner or later. Guns and commodities alone are not enough to rule large areas of land. There must be enough grassroots cadres. , In order to carry out their own ideas.
When Liu Qing returned from Nagasaki, the first battleship modeled after the Intrepid was built and equipped with new artillery. The sailors trained on the Intrepid took over the battleship. After the first offshore trial, the first long voyage is finally about to begin.
This time it was still Shen Long who led the set off, “Let’s not go to Nagasaki this time. Let’s change a place and go to Nanyang!”
The battleship left the port, crossed the strait all the way south, and after wind and waves, arrived in West Borneo, which will be the island of Kalimantan in the future, and berthed at a place called Sanfa.
Many people from the Guangdong and Guangxi generations have been earning a living here. Most of them are working in the coastal city of Pontianak on the island. Some grow rice, coconut, coffee, and pepper in the countryside, and some mine oil and coal in the mountainous areas; the local natural conditions and living environment are extremely difficult. In order to survive, they need to unite and assist each other. The people have automatically formed many organizations similar to the “hometown associations.”
In the future, these “hometown associations” will gradually develop and grow, and they will be combined by two outstanding leaders to create the first republic in Asian history-the Lanfang Republic! This is Shen Long’s goal this time.
