The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 791 21 Articles of Friendship Tomorrow

When Tokugawa Toyoyu heard this, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

It seems to be a little bit excited!

With the strength of the Tokugawa family alone, it is indeed not an easy task to overthrow the emperor.

If the Tokugawa family does this, then the Tokugawa family will bear a lot of pressure from public opinion.

It will even make people question the legitimacy of the Tokugawa shogunate rule!
Because, the reason why the Tokugawa shogunate can be established is that the shogunate is ordered by the emperor to take charge of government affairs in name.

In other words, nominally, the power of the shogunate comes from the emperor.

Not the shogunate itself!
The highest head of the shogunate, General Zhengyi, also needs to accept the appointment of the emperor!
Therefore, if the Tokugawa shogunate chooses to attack the emperor, even if things can be done, the impact will be very bad.

However, if Daming is willing to end up endorsing the Tokugawa shogunate, things will be different.

Perhaps, this time is really an excellent opportunity for the shogunate to replace the emperor and become Japan's legitimate supreme ruler...

Hearing this, Zhou Yuan said with a smile.

Huang Zhongqiu is a researcher at the Imperial Research Institute of the Ming Dynasty, and is responsible for scientific research in the internal combustion engine research and development team.

"Can this be true? Is it not lying to you?"

Therefore, Japan does not have a very urgent need for armor, swords, muskets, etc.

Smokeless gunpowder is still under development and can only be produced in small batches, not mass production.

Huang Zhongqiu's monthly salary is very high, and the house rewarded by the imperial court is large enough to support his nephew without any pressure.

It's about production!

But they really can't cast the cannon!

And the flower bomb is so delicious!

"In this battle against the Qing, my Ming Dynasty will take knocking out the Qing army navy as the top priority."

"Hiss, hiss, ah..."

After the staff department made a decision, he was basically the one who submitted the decision to the imperial court for approval.

It is also black gunpowder, and the formula mastered by my Qing Dynasty is no worse than the gunpowder formula of Westerners at the same time.

Toyoyu Tokugawa's eyes widened in surprise when he heard the offer.

The old wife didn't give him face either, and said very bluntly.

"However, Daming can allow the Tokugawa shogunate to send relevant officials to participate in the jury and observe."

how to say……

"How are the negotiations with the Tokugawa shogunate going?"

The imperial court treated Huang Zhongqiu very well, and assigned their family a house in the best part of Nanjing City. If calculated according to the standards of later generations, it basically belonged to the third ring road.

Even armor, Japan is capable of manufacturing.

Otherwise, Xiaguan City is really strong enough to withstand the attack of the Qing army.

Under Huang Zhongqiu's recommendation, Huang Luzhuang, who had shown an extremely high talent for science since childhood, obtained a qualification for the entrance examination of the Royal University of Ming Dynasty.

It is only after facing the artillery group of the Ming army that it will appear a little weak.

"In that case, let's talk about the prices of field artillery and heavy siege artillery!"

At present, in the entire East Asia, only the Ming family is capable of making Japan conclude unequal treaties!
This most-favored-nation treatment is basically just a decoration!
However, the previous extraterritoriality is very important.

"The Satsuma clan of Japan dares to invade and even control my clan of the Ming Dynasty. My Celestial Master should give him a serious look!"

"The officials of the Ming Dynasty must judge the merchants who violated the law in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty!"

What they really need is artillery, a lot of artillery.

After a while, his old wife pulled up the bamboo tube on his back, leaving obvious black circles on his back.

And a number of flowering bullets of different calibers!

Of course, more importantly, Ryukyu can be used as a forward base for the Great Ming Navy to go out to the Pacific Ocean in the future and gain sea dominance in the Pacific Ocean.

Thinking about these messy things, Toyoto Tokugawa said without hesitation.

Lying on the bed with his back naked, Huang Zhongqiu's old wife quickly pulled the cupping pot for him.

Therefore, he simply prepared to discuss the prices of field artillery and heavy siege artillery with Toyoto Tokugawa.

Of course, it's not that Zhu Hongyu has sympathy for the little days.

"Rheumatism hurts to death, forget it!"

What Daming is really proud of is actually the standardization of gunpowder and mass production on the assembly line.

After Zhu Hongyu finished speaking, Xu Bin who was standing in front of him spoke.

Daming seems to have proposed the original 21 items, but Little Life probably won't agree.

Entrance examinations are held once a year, and applications are open to the public, as long as you register, you can participate.

"The last time there was a news report, the fleet has already arrived in Hankou."

Zhou Yuan's expression didn't change when he heard this, but he spoke in a very calm tone.

This cannon weighs about [-] tons just by the gun body, and it even needs a pulley block and even a steam unit to provide power for assistance in loading and firing.

Translating these words, it means that Zhu Hongyu is going to attack Ryukyu.

Within the scope of the entire East Asia, the most complete law in the framework of the legal system is the Daming Law.

After a while, Zhu Hongyu raised his head and asked.

Three... 3 silver dollars!

Of course, the exam qualifications of Daming Royal University are not that precious.

Don't look at the fact that the Qing army has been bombarded by artillery fire indiscriminately when facing the Ming army, but in fact the Qing army's artillery is not weak.

"Your Majesty, according to Zhou Yuanzhou's report, the Tokugawa shogunate has all agreed to the "21 Articles of Friendship for Tomorrow" that His Majesty explained."

Not to mention the court's reward gifts from the emperor every holiday.

"The shogunate can agree to these conditions. If so, can Daming sell arms to Japan?"

"The shogunate needs artillery, a lot of artillery!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yuan didn't expose it, and spoke in a very calm tone.

In other words, what Da Ming sells to the outside world is actually granulated black powder, and it is not difficult to research the formula with a little effort.

After all, the Tokugawa shogunate is still hesitant about letting the emperor go to the throne.

It is the only way to go to Japan and North Korea for trade from the direction of Nanyang.

In the imperial study room, Zhu Hongyu picked up his big seal, which was covered with ink pad, and then used the seal on the plan for fighting against the Qing Dynasty.

Huang Zhongqiu screamed subconsciously.

Lu Ming and Lu Zhuang mentioned by Huang Zhongqiu are his son and nephew respectively.

Of course, there are also problems with storage and transportation after production.

"I don't think the General will reject Daming's reasonable request!"

Hearing this, Toyoyu Tokugawa nodded and spoke forcefully.

At that time, it will be much easier for Ming Dynasty to destroy Japan's economic structure.

Knowing the formula, whether it can be produced in large quantities according to the formula standard is the key.

"Yes, now the artillery sold by Daming is divided into five types."

"can!"

Zhou Yuan nodded to show that he knew it and would not expose it.

It was not in vain that he agreed to so many requests from Daming, and Daming finally let go of the sale of arms.

As the head of the staff department, Xu Bin held a very high position in the Ming court.

Zhou Yuan was not in a hurry when he heard the words, Shi Shi ran out other requirements of Daming.

After that, Xiaotian once thought about making guns by himself, but he had no choice but to make guns with the "craftsmanship spirit" of those craftsmen in Xiaotian.

From the current point of view, there is nothing more suitable than introducing population from a young age!
After all, if the imported slaves are white slaves and black slaves, you still have to worry about being invaded by the race, but if it is a small day, you don't have to worry about this.

Now facing the danger of national subjugation and extinction, Japan can only lower its face and ask Daming for help.

So I tried my best to make it rough and big!

Xu Bin left the imperial study room with the battle plan after the emperor's seal, and went to the five-army governor's mansion.

When the old wife heard the words, she still couldn't believe it, and questioned it.

After this battle, all the Japanese army clearly realized where the biggest gap between their own side and the Qing army was.

Because, the gunpowder formula sold by Daming is actually not a secret.

But it's okay, after Da Ming beats up Xiaozi, he will give Xiaozi another 21 supplementary clauses for tomorrow's friendship...

"I don't know what ammunition the Japanese side needs? Guns? Artillery? Or cold weapons, swords and armor?"

Huang Zhongqiu couldn't help but turn dark when he heard this.

What he meant was that it's not that Japan can't afford the fortress artillery, it's just that I can't use it temporarily.

Huang Luzhuang lost his father when he was young, and his family lived in poverty. Then he came to Nanjing and joined his uncle Huang Zhongqiu.

"Don't talk, don't talk, I'll go out and have a look!"

At that time, let the stick be the supervisor, and the effect of attracting hatred will definitely be leveraged.

Hearing this, Toyoyu Tokugawa couldn't help asking.

"What we urgently need now are field artillery and heavy artillery for siege!"

"They are fortress defense artillery, naval artillery used by the navy, heavy siege artillery, field artillery, and infantry support artillery."

The iron cannon matchlock guns they made are of very good quality and performance.

It can ensure that there will be no problems with the quality and output of gunpowder!
This is why Daming's gunpowder is so popular!
It's not about the recipe at all, because the recipe is not a secret.

Such a cannon was cast, so that it could be placed there as a prestige.

"What are you talking about!"

During the period of enrollment, Huang Luzhuang did not return to his hometown, but stayed at his uncle's house.

Hearing this, Zhou Yuan replied with a smile.

Tokugawa Toyoyu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words.

The performance of the artillery used by Britain, France and other countries may not be as good as my red cannon in the Qing Dynasty!
In the battle of Xiaguan, the Qing army can be said to have won by relying on shells.

For the elderly, life in Nanjing began to be difficult after autumn.

The old wife couldn't help asking.

"What your envoy needs to know is that the more powerful a cannon, the higher its casting cost and technical difficulty."

Although Huang Qiuzhong is only in his early forties this year, he already suffers from severe rheumatism.

In fact, the 21 articles of friendship for tomorrow given by the Ming Dynasty to Xiaotian are far less excessive than the original 21 articles given to the Beiyang government by Xiaotian in history.

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly when he heard this.

It's just that the Ming Dynasty sent troops to attack the Qing Dynasty, not only for the purpose of deterring the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but also for the purpose of beating the Tokugawa shogunate.

The Ming side asked Japan to use the Daming law as a basis when judging the criminals of the Ming Dynasty. The Japanese did not resist it as much as imagined.

Everyone is of the yellow race. Although Xiaotian is a little short, he is a typical East Asian race. Even if he stays in the mainland of Ming Dynasty, it is not difficult to assimilate.

Zhou Yuan nodded and said.

"Allow Ming merchants to conduct legal trade anywhere under the shogunate!"

"The shogunate agreed to open up labor introduction to Ming Dynasty..."

Because, the current Japanese law was originally born out of the Ming Dynasty's law.

"Just wait for the two parties to formally sign the treaty!"

The old wife packed the things for cupping, Huang Zhongqiu got dressed and was about to go out.

Moreover, in the war with the Qing army, the armor, swords, muskets, etc. currently used by the Japanese side showed good power.

"..."

"What about the arms trade?"

Well, the kind that hasn’t been copied perfectly yet!

However, the expression on his face was clearly enduring the pain.

Japan can also make solid bullets and shotguns by itself, so they don't buy them.

Now the largest caliber artillery in Ming Dynasty is a fortress city defense artillery, which was placed in Zhenjiang Fortress.

Then he took out a quotation form from the drawer and handed it to Toyoto Tokugawa.

"According to the days, Lu Ming and Lu Zhuang are also taking a rest today. They can go home from school. You can prepare some delicious food at home in advance. When I come back, we will have a good meal together as a family tonight."

"I'm not here to find out the situation!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yuan nodded in satisfaction, and then continued.

The next moment, with a bang, his old wife slapped him on the back unceremoniously.

If Ming can control Ryukyu, it can control most of the air routes in East Asia.

But if it can be combined with some capital means to attract the outflow of local capital from Xiaotian, then the capital of Ming Dynasty can control the related industries in Japan.

Moreover, it can be used to death, and it does not feel bad after using it to death.

Ten catties of field artillery cost 200 silver dollars each.

When Tokugawa Toyoyu heard the words, he obviously didn't realize the importance of the matter, and felt that these were not a problem, so he nodded and agreed.

"You don't need to go to work, but you can still give me a salary of 50 silver dollars every month? Isn't this being taken advantage of?"

But this need does not lie in swords, muskets and armor!
Because Japan itself is capable of producing swords and muskets.

The imperial court treats a researcher like him very well, but he is really busy when he is busy.

When Tokugawa Toyoyu heard the words, he forcibly pulled back with embarrassment.

Of course, due to the existence of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is still useful to Daming for the time being.

As for the sale of the gunpowder, will it lead to the leakage of Daming's gunpowder formula?
This is actually not important!

Daming himself can't equip it!

In fact, this is not the first time Xiaotian has suffered from artillery.

The shells used in it weigh an astonishing 150 kilograms!
It takes ten to twenty minutes to load and calibrate to fire once.

"Don't rush, don't rush, just talk slowly!"

Based on the current situation in East Asia, the influence of Western colonists has been completely cleared out of the sphere of influence in East Asia and even Southeast Asia, and they can only be forced to retreat to South Asia.

In the current Nanjing City, the first ring is the imperial city, and the second ring is all imperial government offices...

"Isn't it Xiumu today? What are you doing here?"

"If the merchants of Ming Dynasty commit crimes in Japan, Japan cannot use Japanese laws to judge the merchants of Ming Dynasty."

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Shizhen recorded in detail the formula and preparation method of granular gunpowder in the illustrations of weapons.

"This matter is easy to talk about. Since it is not easy for you to agree to the emperor's resignation now, then first implement other conditions."

"Presumably after entering Beijing this time, the Living Buddha should be able to learn how to talk to me well?"

Once extraterritoriality is finalized, the Ming Dynasty will also be able to influence Japan's judicial independence.

"What does Lord Zhou mean?"

"Nanjing Wang's Machinery Factory entrusted me to be a consultant for them, and I can offer a salary of 50 silver dollars per month."

"I need to report this matter to the shogunate, please make a decision, General!"

But if you want more, the price is extra.

The third ring road is already the best location!
His monthly salary is more than that of most officials.

"Among them, fortress city defense guns generally weigh five tons or more..."

To ensure that Manqing will not be pushed back by Xiaori!
Otherwise, if Japan has no foreign enemies, then Ming's layout in Japan will come to naught.

"Field guns of various calibers, siege guns, and even naval guns used by the navy are needed by the shogunate."

The Qing army had artillery that the Japanese shogunate did not.

As one of the top scientists in Ming Dynasty, Huang Zhongqiu is usually very busy.

During the Wanli Korean War that year, the young days suffered a big loss in front of the artillery of the Ming army.

Hearing this, Huang Zhongqiu couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, talking about harming others, he still had to be his own wife.

Since the Tokugawa shogunate could not afford the fortress defense guns, it is unlikely that they could afford large-caliber naval guns.

It's okay when the weather is sunny, but when it's cloudy or raining.

"I will understand at the end!"

Huang Zhongqiu's face twitched, and he couldn't help but speak.

Toyoto Tokugawa said with some lack of confidence.

All he wanted was power, so he didn't care about weight at all.

In Zhou Yuan's sentence, the so-called most-favored-nation treatment behind is actually not important.

In the fierce battle in Xiaguan, the Japanese army was defeated by artillery.

It's like the production of gunpowder in the Manchu Qing Dynasty at the end of the Qing Dynasty.

said angrily.

If you want to alleviate the current population plight of Ming Dynasty, in a short period of time, bringing in people from outside is the best choice.

"What our army needs now are field artillery and heavy siege artillery, and we don't need the fortress artillery for the time being!"

They are also planning to send sailors and soldiers across the sea to attack the Qing, so that Man Qing can wake up and understand, what is your father or your father.

……

The most typical example is that after some western merchant ships came to fight against Ming Dynasty, Ming's explosive ammunition was also on their purchase list.

Of course, it is also one of the purposes to absorb and use the capital of the small days to promote the social development of Ming Dynasty.

As if remembering something, Zhu Hongyu asked.

Regardless of each type of artillery, there is a certain bonus amount of shells and gunpowder.

As far as the current situation facing the Tokugawa shogunate is concerned, they do have a great demand for arms.

"Ah, yes, yes, you don't mind shutting up if you're afraid of pain!"

Then why is the gunpowder of the Manchu Qing inferior to the gunpowder of the West?
To put it bluntly, the problem is not the formula, but the production.

One by one, the bamboo tubes were buckled on his back, and as the air was burned out, a suction force was produced.

"I don't rely on coolies to make money, but rely on brains. If there is a problem, I just help them solve it. There is no need to go to work every day."

"The shogunate must issue relevant policies to protect the interests of Ming merchants."

After making these requests, Zhou Yuan finally let go.

Facing the little arrogance and disobedience of the Qing side, Daming's side was prepared to provide a batch of weapons to the Tokugawa shogunate.

"Calculating the time, Li Guangyuan and the others will be back soon, right?"

After autumn, the weather gets colder every day!
Nanjing City is adjacent to the Yangtze River, and there is also a Qinhuai River running through the city. It is located in the south of the Yangtze River and is very humid.

After finishing these, Zhu Hongyu raised his head and ordered.

The formula has never been a problem. As early as the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Qi Jiguang mentioned the granulation of gunpowder in Ji Xiao's new book.

What's more, in the small days, heavy physical labor such as mining and road construction is most suitable for them who are hardworking.

"Report to Your Majesty, Lord Li Hou is indeed about to enter Beijing soon."

Hearing this, Zhou Yuan put forward a variety of other requests, making up a total of 21 requests.

Toyoto Tokugawa couldn't help feeling a little moved, but he still spoke.

Among them, a 3000-jin heavy siege artillery costs [-] silver dollars each.

The eunuch beside him reported back.

Hearing this, the eunuch serving beside him replied.

To put it bluntly, it means asking Japan to open its market to Ming and allow Ming to conduct population trade in Japan.

After Xu Bin left, Zhu Hongyu also began to close his eyes and meditate.

Although Ryukyu is small and poor, its geographical location is quite good.

It is not as easy as imagined to control or even destroy the economic foundation of a country just by dumping commodities.

When Huang Zhongqiu heard the words, he just waved his hands.

First, they used naval guns to destroy the Japanese navy fleet, and then used artillery shells to clear the way for the landing troops to attack...

Guaranteed to be the original version, not bad at all!
……

That is the appearance of capillaries broken by congestion and then coagulated.

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly, the expression on his face was still very happy.

After passing the exam, Huang Luzhuang entered Daming Royal University for further study.

Further affect the operation of the entire Japanese society!
However, this matter is really not that Da Ming is deliberately bullying Xiao Zi, but because of the fact of the matter.

Tokugawa Toyoyu nodded and said.

As long as it is not the Ming army that confronts the Qing army, it is the army of other countries at the same time. Even if it is a powerful country like Britain and France, the Qing army is worthy.

And allowing Daming to attract investment in Japan, to put it bluntly, means that Daming is going to harvest capital from Xiaotian.

"Even I don't have to go to work with them, I just have to solve technical problems for them when I have time."

Daming has no taboos about selling gunpowder.

"..."

Since the Tokugawa Shogunate couldn't make up their minds, Daming naturally had no choice but to help him.

There is a stick in front to attract hatred, and even if there are many deaths in engineering, those small days will not have any resentment towards Daming.

As for gunpowder, the selling price is fixed.

Is it so expensive?
Silver in this era has not depreciated, and silver dollars are still very valuable.

There is no doubt about this!

Among them, shells of different specifications, such as solid shells, blooming shells, and shot shells, have different prices.

Prepare to complete the filing at the Dudu Mansion of the Five Armies, and then issue the battle plan.

Therefore, although Daming was planning to attack Qing, he had no plan to beat Man Qing to death with a stick. Destroying Man Qing's navy would be regarded as the completion of the task.

"After knocking out the navy of the Qing army, the fleet didn't need to return immediately, and sent troops to beat the Japanese Satsuma clan by the way."

One nitrate, two sulphur, and three charcoals, try different ratios slowly, and you will be able to try it out sooner or later.

Daming does not sell heavier cannons.

The current population growth rate of Ming Dynasty is not slow, but in a short period of time, the lack of labor force is still a big problem.

Zhou Yuan raised three fingers and said.

The so-called fortress city defense guns are actually fortress guns, which basically belong to the kind of big guys that are not ready to move at all.

"Old husband and wife, I am most afraid of pain, it's not like you don't know!"

At present, there is a shortage of people in the country of Ming Dynasty, including the infrastructure construction in various places and the construction of local factories.

Hearing this, Toyoyu Tokugawa couldn't help asking again.

In fact, not only Japan, but also the laws of other countries around the Ming Dynasty, such as Annan, Siam, Ryukyu, North Korea and other countries, are mostly plagiarized Ming laws.

Five catties of infantry support artillery, a price of 500 silver dollars.

"The most-favored-nation treatment means that if Japan concludes a contract with other countries, and any clauses in details exceed those concluded with Daming, then Daming will automatically enjoy all the benefits of that clause."

"Then, let's talk about the selling price of the ammunition."

Tokugawa Toyoyu pondered for a while, and directly asked for [-] kilograms of gunpowder.

Toyoto Tokugawa took the quotation form, and then flipped through it.

At present, Daming is the only country in the world that can guarantee the quality of flowering bombs without any problems and can mass-produce them on a large scale.

Huang Zhongqiu finally took a rest today, the old wife originally thought that he could stay at home with the children, but unexpectedly he had to go out again.

The price quotations for each caliber artillery of the Ming Dynasty are listed in detail on the quotation form.

In the battle of attacking Xiaguan City, the Qing army had no time to unload the artillery from the ship and drag it to the battlefield, but Tokugawa Ietsuna personally took it back with people.

"First of all, the Tokugawa shogunate needs to open all markets and all port cities to Ming merchants."

When Huang Zhongqiu heard the words, he immediately fell silent.

"Well, well done!"

It's because Da Ming hasn't started a war with Xiaozi yet, and Xiaozi's current situation is not that critical.

Due to the urgency of scientific research tasks, there are not a few days to rest throughout the year!

Moreover, after hitting Manqing with this stick, there is a high probability that Daming will give Manqing a sweet date.

But flower bombs are still somewhat technically difficult.

It can be said that the current Tokugawa shogunate is quite eager for artillery.

"What's more, Ming needs extraterritoriality against Japan and most-favored-nation treatment!"

"So, this price is not an exaggeration!"

"A fortress city defense gun with a gun body weighing five tons is priced at 3 silver dollars!"

"Although Ryukyu is a small country and its people are weak, it is also my vassal of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Allow Ming merchants to attract investment in Japan, as well as engage in mineral development and industrial investment..."

With a bang, the seal was stamped on the plan, and Zhu Hongyu signed it with a pen.

Then he will have a hard time!

Everyone was speechless, Zhu Hongyu's desire for revenge is really fucking strong!

"Be quiet, you are so old, can't you bear such a little pain?"

Well, basically no practical value.

In the process of gunpowder production, the corruption and inaction of relevant officials and the perfunctory work of the craftsman's office are the problem.

One kilogram of standard gunpowder for artillery costs one silver dollar.

"The price is a bit too high, and the shogunate may not be able to afford it."

"Oh, maybe!"

Rheumatism is really tormenting.

If you pass the exam, you can enter!

It's just that it's as simple as wanting to pass the exam!

This current highest institution of learning in Ming Dynasty is open to all classes in Ming Dynasty.

No matter how poor you are, as long as you can successfully pass the entrance examination of Daming Royal University, then congratulations, you will get a step up in class.
