My Daming New Empire

At noon, Zhu Zhanji finally met with the last meritorious minister, and all the talents lined up to the inner city of Osaka.

Zhu Zhanji was traveling in a special imperial chariot specially transported by sea for the emperor. It was resplendent and luxurious, with an area of ​​more than [-] square meters.

And this imperial chariot was pulled by twelve tall horses. You can't even find a single horse like this in Japan.

Everyone was overwhelmed by this grandeur, holding their breath for fear of disturbing the horses.

Zhu Zhanji walked to the front of the imperial chariot, thought for a while, then turned around and waved to the famous Emperor Shomimitsu.

Li Liang and the others knowingly walked to Emperor Shōko, and invited him to Zhu Zhanji.Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "Today you are the master, and you shouldn't overwhelm the master, so I want to ride with you in the same car."

Emperor Shōmitsu said in Daming dialect with some dismay: "Xiao Wang is really flattered, thank you Your Highness!"

Zhu Zhanji glanced at Lan Yan. This little girl understood what Zhu Zhanji meant, and went to the newly married wife of Emperor Shōko, Yuanli Gong Qiuzi, and invited her to the imperial chariot.

The five people got on the imperial chariot, and the other guards and inner eunuchs lined up on the left and right, sitting around the lower floor.

When the Japanese saw their own emperor also sitting in Daming's imperial chariot, they couldn't help cheering.

Cheng Guang couldn't help but feel a little dazed. He originally thought that today would be a very difficult day, but even though he had gone through an assassination, it didn't seem difficult.

Although it was a bit embarrassing to bow down to the grandson of Ming Dynasty, everything passed.Thinking of having the opportunity to see the prosperous Daming, he even had a sense of anticipation in his heart.

Of course, more concerns about the future.

Zhu Zhanji didn't care about a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child at all. While chatting with him about the prosperity of Daming to relax him, he looked at Qiuzi who was whispering to Lan Yan and Liu Chenghui.

It is not difficult to find a woman as beautiful as a flower among the nobles of a country. This Qiuzi is not weaker than most of his concubines, and can even compete with the most outstanding few.

It's just that although Chengguang has pretty features, he is as weak as a chicken, which really makes people wonder if he has long hair.

I don't know if he can satisfy the other party!

Qiuzi raised his head inadvertently, just in time to see Zhu Zhanji's aggressive gaze, his face turned red with embarrassment, and he didn't even dare to lift his head.

Zhu Zhanji withdrew his gaze and kept thinking in his heart.

Today's banquet is on a grand scale, with the original Osaka inner city as the venue, hosting thousands of Japanese people.

Because there were too many people and there were not so many tables, chairs and benches, Zhu Zhanji adopted the buffet mode. The men were divided into one place, and the women were divided into another place.

At the banquet, in addition to all kinds of delicacies from Daming and Dongying, there are barbecues from the Western Regions, fruits from the South Seas, not only all kinds of wine, but also various freshly squeezed juices.

Not to mention Japanese people, even most Ming people have never eaten these things, let alone experienced such a banquet.

Although everyone was reluctant to let go at first, but afterward, all kinds of well-prepared ingredients were swept away.

Many Japanese people walked around because they thought it was delicious, and they made a lot of jokes.

Only a few people did not pay attention to these foods, waiting for the follow-up negotiation of contract details.

Zhu Zhanji didn't care about this, and boarded his flagship with the Shingguang couple and Ashikaga's mother and son, and let them, bumpkins, see Daming's shipbuilding technology.

Yasuko Hino is the mother of Ashikaga Yoshinori and the aunt of Shomimitsu. After boarding this huge treasure ship, she was absent-minded for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, now that peace between Ming and Japan has been restored, my Yamato wishes to live forever." With Daming as your elder brother, and land and trade, can this kind of treasure ship be directly sold to me in Yamato?"

The role of the treasure ship is mainly for transportation, and the technical content of this kind of ship is far inferior to that of the giant Fuchuan warship.Zhu Zhanji pondered for a while and said: "Of course, but this kind of treasure ship is expensive to build. The cost of a ship is nearly 10 taels of silver. If you want to buy it, it will cost more than 10 taels."

The amount of silver in the world today is far less than that of later generations. The two major silver mines in Japan and the silver mines in South America have not been developed, so the value of silver is still relatively high.

Of course, Zhu Zhanji's quotation far exceeds the cost, because the price of timber is extremely low today, and the total cost of Zheng He's fleet of 100 ships is only more than [-] million taels of silver. Although there are mostly small ships in this fleet, there are also large and medium-sized ships. More than fifty ships.

In fact, the cost of the treasure ship was less than 5 taels of silver.

However, of course there is no technical cost involved, so Zhu Zhanji's offer of 10 taels of silver is still very conscientious.

Who made Dongpu unable to build such a ship at all!

However, Yasuko Hino heard that Zhu Zhanji was so easy to talk, and immediately asked, "What about the musket?"

Zhu Zhanji glanced at her sideways, and said with a smile: "It's not that it can't be sold, but the price won't be cheap."

As soon as Zhu Zhanji said that he was willing to sell, Ashikaga Yoshinori immediately said impatiently: "We will buy it no matter how high the price is..."

Zhu Zhanji laughed, while Hino Yasuko glared at his son bitterly.If you say you want to buy it without even discussing the price, that's not letting the other party slaughter you!

He is four years older than the other party, why is he still so immature!

She also didn't think about how she could mature her son with such a strong mother who protected her son well.

Zhu Zhanji said: "The latest flash cap guns will not be sold for the time being, and if they are sold, only the old-fashioned matchlock guns will be sold."

"What about the barrel?"

When she asked this question, Zhu Zhanji suspected that the missing guns were probably in her hands now.

However, Zhu Zhanji is not too worried. First of all, the barrel structure of the matchlock gun and the flintlock gun are somewhat different.

Even if they have developed a flash hider, it is not an easy task to modify it.Today's guns, the barrel is the most difficult to make.

Now the Jiajiang Industrial Zone has adopted the strictest protective measures to keep the technology secret. They just want to learn this kind of processing technology secretly, and they will not succeed in a few years.

And even if they learned to grind seamless barrels with machine tools, they didn't know the formula of the material, whether the barrel should burst or it would burst.

But thinking of the various technologies that were stolen from later generations, Zhu Zhanji decided to continue to strengthen technical security measures after returning to Daming.

"Of course it is a gun barrel that was formed at one time. In Daming today, there is no craftsman who would spend several days building a gun barrel."

This time, both mother and son had smiles on their faces, as long as Daming was willing to sell it, they would buy it no matter how expensive it was.With these guns, they will not be afraid of a comeback by Ashikaga Yoshichi's supporters.

As for price, it's not what they're considering at the moment, but security and power are.

What's more, although Daming was aggressive this time, they all dealt with Ashikaga Yoshichi and the Emperor's family, and their wealth did not suffer much loss.

This is also Zhu Zhanji's deliberate intention. The looting will not last long after all. If they rob Japan and want to do business with them, they have no capital, so they will develop a fart trade.

It is a long-term solution to use trade to continuously suck up their surplus value.

On July [-]th, after five days of negotiations, Mingwo's first contract was finally officially signed.This Osaka contract also became the first official contract in the history of Ming's foreign conquests.

There are a total of fifteen articles in the contract, and eight items are roughly determined.

First, the Ming Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom will always be brotherly countries, and there will be peace forever. The people of the Ming Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom are friendly to each other.

Second, the Muromachi shogunate opened Nagasaki and Osaka as treaty ports, allowed Ming to set up a city ship department, and allowed Ming merchants and their families to live freely.The Ming Dynasty also opened Ningbo as a treaty port, allowing 500 people to go to trade every year.

Third, the Muromachi shogunate ceded Ishimikoku, Izu Peninsula, Sado Island, Tsushima Island, and Daming, in exchange for Daming no longer asking for compensation.

Fourth, the Ming Dynasty stationed no less than 15 and no more than 20 troops in the four places, and had the obligation to assist the Muromachi Shogunate to stabilize the domestic situation.The Muromachi shogunate pays [-] taels of silver for military expenses every year. If the Ming Dynasty wants to send troops, military expenses will be calculated separately.
