Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 501
"Taro Ono, ask your staff to take inventory. The first batch of firearms includes [-] muskets and [-] cannons. But we can't deliver them to you all at once, so this time it's [-] muskets and [-] cannons. The firearms will be kept by our Yokohama port garrison first." Shi Daxuan, the deputy captain of the Beiyang Fleet and also a pirate, said to Taro Hajimoto Ono, who was sent by the Tokugawa shogunate to receive support firearms.

"General Shi Daxuan, this is different from the agreement in the Treaty of Edo Castle. It stands to reason that the first batch of firearms should be delivered to us at one time. Why should some of them be stranded in Yokohama Port?" Taro Ono said dissatisfied.

"This is wrong. We didn't intend to embarrass you. It's just that the first batch of firearms is large. If something goes wrong halfway, will you take the responsibility or I will take the responsibility? Also, if your shogunate gets this batch of firearms and turns your face Who can guarantee our interests if we don’t recognize people and use them to attack our troops stationed outside Edo City?”

Shi Daxuan's series of rhetorical questions left Taro Ono speechless.

"Okay, take me to count this batch of firearms, and then I will escort them to Edo Castle and report this matter to the shogun. Then when should the remaining firearms be delivered?" Ono Taro asked.

"After our officers help your officers learn how to use firearms, Commander Zheng Zhilong will lead his troops back to Yokohama Port. At that time, we will deliver the remaining [-] muskets and [-] cannons to you for your own protection. By yourself." Shi Daxuan said, "Before your people finish counting the firearms and gunpowder, why don't we have a few drinks? I have our Huaxia's good wine here, and your Dongying's sake is really inferior."

"Okay!" Ono Taro's eyes lit up.

The original thatched cottages and log cabins of the fishermen in Yokohama Village were almost all flattened by the Kyushu Army, and more magnificent houses were built. Of course, most of them are wooden buildings, and some stone buildings made of cement are still under construction. It is said that the It is the prototype of the Yokohama Customs Building and the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce.

"Come here, take the good wine that the General Lord gave us to the Beiyang Fleet." Shi Daxuan clapped his hands, and soon a soldier brought over a sealed jar of wine.

The wine jar was opened, and the aroma immediately wafted into the nostrils, making Taro Ono couldn't help closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, as if he was intoxicated before drinking.

"Please." Shi Daxuan poured a bowl of wine for Ono Taro himself.

"Thank you, General, for your kindness." Ono Taro said with trepidation.He's just a small banner, not even a big name, but Shi Daxuan is the deputy commander of the Beiyang Fleet!When the Beiyang Fleet came to Honshu Island, it could deter the Tokugawa Shogunate and the Allied Forces. The identity of the Deputy Commander of the Beiyang Fleet was placed here in the Shogunate, and he could have a direct dialogue with the Shogun.

"This is Shaoxing's famous Nurhong wine. It is fermented with glutinous rice and brown sugar. It has a strong color and a mellow taste. It can also resist humidity and cold, and has the effect of nourishing the body. I heard that your sake in Dongying is based on the brewing of our Huaxia rice wine. I don’t know how it compares with our rice wine?” Shi Daxuan asked.

"It's incomparable, it's incomparable." Ono Taro took a sip carefully like a treasure, and found it to be mellow, sweet and fresh, with endless aftertaste, "If such a good wine is sold here, I'm afraid I'll drink it all Sorry."

"Hahaha, it seems that Ono Taro is also a man of temperament. Well, I, Shi Daxuan, have only made friends with people who know how to drink, and we are friends from today." Shi Daxuan raised the wine bowl and touched the bowl with Ono Taro.

"Don't dare..." Ono Taro was even more frightened, even more frightened than when he met the shogun.The deputy commander of the most powerful fleet in the mighty Huaxia Kingdom even calls him a small banner as a friend, and it is estimated that it will last a lifetime if it is said!

Of course, Taro Ono didn’t know that the Beiyang Fleet was only one of the three major fleets of the Kyushu Army. Apart from the Beiyang Fleet, there were also the Zhili Fleet and the Nanyang Fleet. , the arrival of the Beiyang Fleet can already control the situation in Dongying Kingdom.

"What are you afraid of? I said that we are friends and we are friends. Why, did the shogun say that we cannot have friendship with our Huaxia soldiers?" Shi Daxuan pretended to be unhappy.

"No, it's a great honor for Sansei Ono to be friends with the general of the Celestial Dynasty." Ono Taro said hastily.Unless you have a brain problem, you will give up this opportunity to climb high. Taro Ono quickly seized this opportunity.

"This is just like a man. If you have anything to do in the future, just come to me for help. If there is anything difficult for me, Taro Ono, you can also take care of it. After all, we are already friends. Come and do another bowl." Shi Daxuan said boldly.

Taro Ono was a little drunk after a few bowls of his daughter's red stomach, and hiccupped and said, "I am a small banner, and I am not even a big name in Japan. There are only a hundred people under my command, what can I do for the general? On the contrary, there will be many more places to trouble the general in the future."

"Don't worry. As the saying goes, heroes come out of troubled times. With your ability, it's not certain that you will become famous in Dongying in the future." Shi Daxuan persuaded Taro Ono to drink, "Come on, let's continue drinking, and we won't return if we don't get drunk!"

"Okay! I'm lucky enough to meet the general today. I, Taro Ono, will get drunk even if I go all out!" Ono Taro seemed to be on top, and he patted the wooden table hard, one bowl after another, pouring out his daughter who needed to be savored slowly. Red as plain boiled water.

Damn, this Dongying person's appearance is really bad when he's drunk.Shi Daxuan wanted to drink with a smile on his face, but inadvertently poured the wine in the bowl to the ground, then held up the empty bowl and said to Taro Ono: "Taro Ono is really huge, come, let's have another bowl."

After drinking for three rounds, Taro Ono, who was used to drinking sake, was already unconscious. Even if Shi Daxuan brought his daughter's red wine, it was not so strong, drinking it as plain water was still easy to get on his head.

At this time, Shi Daxuan called a man dressed as a businessman: "This Ono Taro will be handed over to your intelligence department. Damn, although this guy is easy to get drunk, it's not easy to get him down. Had to drink a few bowls."

"Thank you General Shi for cooperating with the work of our intelligence department, and we will leave the rest to us." The personnel of the intelligence department dressed as businessmen bowed their hands to Shi Daxuan, and then ordered his left and right subordinates to carry Ono Taro out.

Poor Ono Taro was in a daze and didn't know what was going on, so he was followed by the most mysterious intelligence department in the Kyushu Army, and then he was carried on a cargo ship.
