ps: Some book friends complained that this is all a mess. I want to read Warring States of Japan, but more book friends are questioning why you don’t build artillery. But the protagonist does not know how to build artillery and does not have the function of Tinker Bell.
How could we attack Odawara without artillery? Toyotomi Hideyoshi, as a man of the world, laid siege to Odawara Castle with an army of 220,000 for five months! Ume didn’t want to save the trouble and make up a random excuse, because the most advanced artillery of that era was
Both the Ming Empire and Europe strictly controlled products. The Guoban that Dayou's family got from Portugal was just a 3-pound eagle cannon. It's just a dream to have a 12-pound snake cannon. How could we get cannons without this girl? Japan has a serious iron shortage. The protagonist
The workshops all import iron ore from Nizi's family. There is not enough iron material to make guns, let alone cannons. With neither technology nor resources, what can the protagonist use to make artillery? The above words do not count.
Seeing His Highness Gongfang take care of this tall and tall Nanman weirdo, the crowd watching the excitement burst into bursts of cheers. However, their excitement did not last for too long and was dispersed by the crowd of Tongxin policemen who arrived. Naojiang Jin
Hong Kong's security has always been very good, and the sound co-ordinated police system can fulfill the task of maintaining security and arresting criminals. In this feudal era, there were indeed not many gangsters who dared to enter the towns of the great lords to commit crimes.
Francis Drake walked away angrily, to which Kiragi could only shrug helplessly. He clearly just wanted to ask if he was that Drake, or if he happened to meet a guy with the same name. Unfortunately,
I just finished cleaning up this big guy and I can't talk to him for the moment.
I boarded the deck of the York again and saw the familiar gorilla again. This time I learned from the sailor who led the way that his name was Rune. He was the youngest son from a carpenter family in Cheshire. He was born tall and tall.
He is strong and can eat well and grow long. When he was ten years old, his family was almost impoverished. His parents were forced to send him to the seaside to be a sailor's apprentice, and then he was drafted into the British Navy as a major soldier. He was transferred to the British Navy until last year.
Be the boatswain on this ship.
Kira Yoshihide said a friendly hello to this gorilla-like guy, and walked into the cabin under the vigilant gaze of his bull's-eyes. As soon as he entered the drawing room, he saw Francis Drake sitting in the corner, a man dressed in men's clothing.
The girl used an ice pack to apply cold compress to his swollen cheek, and from time to time she complained about how he could be beaten like this. If his father found out, he would definitely give him a severe lesson.
Francis Drake muttered something in a low voice, as if he was dissatisfied with his sister's talkativeness. When he accidentally caught a glimpse of Kiragi as he walked in, he groaned and turned around, but he forgot that there was an ice pack on his left cheek, and he suddenly turned his face and hit the ice pack.
He grimaced in pain, but he didn't want to show his timidity in front of Kiragi, so he could only endure the pain and maintain his angry expression.
"Oh!" The girl followed his gaze and turned behind her, saying with wide eyes: "Is this the secret lover of His Highness the Duke? She does look like a very special oriental, and she is no shorter than France.
How much! Moreover, his teeth are very white and neat, and he has a charming smile. He must be a well-educated gentleman! France?"
Westerners' nicknames are always slightly different from their names. Francis Drake snorted: "Chris, you little fool, don't look at it anymore. Be careful to be deceived by this hateful guy. He has a serious disease."
He has erectile dysfunction. That’s why His Highness the Duke didn’t let him stay overnight last night.”
Christine Drake walked into the captain's room while looking at Kiragi, and then she came back to her senses and said: "You lied! I don't believe your nonsense! I heard Sarah tell me that His Highness the Duke is back
I specially changed into beautiful clothes to meet him, but this gentleman only stayed in the captain's cabin for half an hour and then left of his own accord. His Royal Highness the Duke seemed very unhappy when he came back, but he never said a bad word to this gentleman!"
"Oh! This is really good news! It turns out that Claudia didn't get involved with this oriental pretty boy!" Francis Drake dropped the ice pack and became excited. The next moment he remembered what he had done today, and his face suddenly changed.
He collapsed and complained in annoyance: "Oops! Then wasn't it pointless that I challenged him to a duel just now? Instead, this hateful guy lied to me and swore to God! Damn it! What a cunning guy!"
"France...are you saying that you just challenged this gentleman...and then got beaten and swore at him?"
Francis Drake did not react and subconsciously replied: "Yes..."
"Then what oath did you make to God?"
"Just give up pursuing Claudia, and..." Francis Drake stared at his sister in panic. Seeing that Christine was going to go berserk, he quickly picked up the ice pack and ran away.
Kira Yoshitoki was completely unaware of everything that happened in the drawing room. He was not in the mood to think about the situation of the Drake brothers and sisters at the moment, because he was facing Claudia who had resumed her men's clothing. Beside him
Standing there was a young maid Sarah who was also dressed in men's clothing. This little maid looked at him with a little sympathy, which made Kiragi feel a strange feeling in his head. Looking closely at Claudia's expression, it seemed that she still remembered what happened yesterday.
Not happy to remember.
Claudia took a deep breath and tried to make her expression look more cheerful. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly and showed a perfect smile: "Good morning, Mr. Joseph. I am very happy to come to this magical eastern land again."
, as the host of this ocean trade, I would like to establish official trade relations with Mr. Joseph on behalf of the Kingdom of England. To this end, we have prepared a trade agreement for your review."
The maid Sara picked up a scroll and handed it to him. As soon as Kiragi took the scroll, he noticed that the feeling of the paper seemed to be completely different. The paper wall was extra thick and strong, and the slightly heavy weight was obviously too much. He didn't know this.
What kind of papermaking technology was used to make it, but it was definitely not something that could be made in England where papermaking technology had just been introduced. It was more likely that it was special paper obtained from the Ming Dynasty through some means and made into scrolls.
He opened the scroll and saw a hand with a strange Gothic style of English. However, the wording and sentence construction in this document made him confused. The grammar was completely different from the English he knew. This gap was probably the same as that between classical Chinese and vernacular and what he knew.
The gap between what I know about medieval Japanese and modern Japanese is quite large. It’s a very important matter but I don’t dare to pretend to understand. I can only shamelessly ask Claudia for help.
Claudia chuckled when she heard his ridiculous reason. She could no longer maintain her impeccable expression. She ordered Sarah to help him translate sentence by sentence into normal spoken English. In fact, he could also feel the colloquial and harmonious effects of Middle English.
He thought that my English was completely different. Fortunately, Claudia was there at that time and could even guess what I didn't understand. She could also speak half-baked Middle English and talk about the Reformation with others. Looking back now, he was surprised.
I feel ashamed for my stupid behavior.
He wrote down the translated agreement silently. After reading it carefully several times, he found that it was indeed a very normal trade agreement. He would establish a long-term trade cooperation relationship with England. The main trading products included porcelain, raw silk, silk, gauze, and cotton.
, gold and silver jewelry, amber, crystal, sulfur, mercury, white beads, sapphire, hematoxylin, pepper. As well as high-end furniture and utensils such as makeup boxes, mirror boxes.
England imports a large amount of finished wool. Kira Yoshitoki is very clear that the wool textile industry has always been England's pillar industry. Other trade products are mainly concentrated in easily accepted sparkling wine, wine, rum, and most of the industrial products, glass.
, soap, as well as saltpeter and gunpowder, as well as knives, door locks and various agricultural tools are also major trade items.
Kira Yoshishi shook his head and said: "The first few things are nothing special. The latter ones are filled with gold, silver, amber and other minerals. They are all non-renewable resources. Overall, it seems that we need to use our raw materials in exchange for the industrial products you produce."
?I think this trade is unfair and goes against the basis of our equal cooperation."
"Exchanging raw materials for industrial products... This is a very clever metaphor! I like this metaphor!" Claudia looked at him thoughtfully and said: "We do need raw materials. You know our England is a small country.
The island country seems to be smaller than Japan. We need more raw materials to support the development of handicraft industry. I also know that such cooperation is somewhat unfair, so I can give appropriate discounts on the price of industrial products to ensure that Joseph can also benefit from this.
To gain profits from this kind of trade.”
Kira Yoshishi smiled and said: "We also have things we produce in exchange. Just like the residents of England cannot wear woolen clothes in summer, it is impossible for my subjects to wear linen clothes to keep out the cold in winter. This gives
We work with each other to create a basis for mutual benefit.”
Sarah murmured disapprovingly: "Are you talking about linen? We can also produce it."
"Sarah, go prepare some black tea to entertain the guests."
"Yes!" Sarah lowered her head and exited the room in a low voice. Claudia said apologetically: "I'm sorry, this is the maid who has been with me since I was a child. I'm a bit too indulgent."
"It doesn't matter! What Miss Sarah said makes sense. You can produce linen, but I can give you a price you can't refuse, because I am a great lord in northern Japan. I have a large territory to grow and produce a lot of linen. Every day
There are countless linen cloths being spun into cloths. These cloths are transported to various places for sale and are loved by merchants everywhere. I believe that your people will also like this cheap and strong cloth. I only sell cloth and not ready-made clothes, which can ensure that the price is high.
The country’s tailors will not lose their jobs.”
Kira Yoshitoki knew very well that the British textile industry was concentrated in the woolen industry, and the output of linen was very low or even completely unable to guarantee self-sufficiency. He could only purchase expensive fabrics from semi-hostile forces such as France and the Hanseatic League. From Claudia's perspective,
Maybe it was nonsense to go all the way to Japan to buy cloth, but when he offered me a price that was far lower than that of the Hanseatic League, I was still moved.
The textile industry in Europe is not developed, especially in the North Sea region where trade goods are very scarce. The main trading partners are France and the Hanseatic League of North Germany. One of these two countries has been an old enemy for hundreds of years, and the other dominates North Sea trade.
The profiteer group has almost fallen out with the Hanseatic League since the British advocated changing the trade distribution method in the North Sea a few years ago.
Fortunately, the Hanseatic League also showed signs of decline at this time. Due to the long-term emphasis on purchasing cheap raw materials from the cheapest areas, the agriculture and handicrafts in the Hanseatic League's home areas were very backward and unable to produce raw materials and industrial products. The Salvador League is at best a transit point for wholesale trade.
The Hanseatic League continued to use its privileges and immunities to deceive, deceive and dominate the market, so merchants in England and the Netherlands began to bypass the Hanseatic League and establish direct commercial ties with Sweden, Denmark and the Russian principalities. This kind of transit station It's not as good as Sakai Town in Japan, and it wouldn't be a pity to lose it.
The imminent loss of a trading point will cause a temporary gap in England's few trade routes. It was out of this idea that Elizabeth I allowed Claudia to go to distant places to find new trade routes. Where could she go? What?
