"Take Sakai, the young minister of the vassal state, pays homage to His Majesty the Holy Emperor!"

The shogunate envoy Sakai Tadashi took the Confucian crown on Masato and knelt down to Zhu Youxiao very devoutly.

Although the Ming Dynasty is now an invader of Japan and is invading Japan in an all-round way, with the intention of annexing its country, because the Ming Empire is too strong, Tadaki Sakai naturally dared not be slightly dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty. He could only be grateful to the Ming Dynasty and respectful to the Emperor Tianqi. Now when he saw Zhu Youxiao, he also kneeled down and wore Hanfu, and treated the ceremony in the name of Han.

"waived!"

Zhu Youxiao replied.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Tadaki Sakai stood up only then.

Zhu Youxiao continued, "What do you think of me?"

"I heard from Your Majesty that my general knew that his talent and virtue were shallow and he was not worthy of governing the eastern lands. Therefore, he had voluntarily moved east to the lands where the Americas were occupied in order to promote Confucian civilization in the barbarian lands. However, the shogunate power was weak, and guns and cannons had always relied on the supply of the Celestial Empire, so he still asked the Celestial Empire to support it so that 200,000 shogunate troops could make contributions to the Celestial Empire in the Americas!"

Sakai Tadaki said.

Zhu Youxiao had long guessed that the shogunate sent people to see him in order to continue to maintain the arms trade so that he could maintain his military advantage over Western colonists in the Americas.

For Zhu Youxiao, this money is naturally in vain.

Anyway, it was not the Han people who were injured or killed, but the Westerners and Japanese devils.

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Support can naturally be supported. For specific matters, please negotiate with the cabinet. Lu Aiqing, you are responsible for this matter!"

"I obey the order!"

Lu Xiangsheng stood up at this time.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long live my emperor!"

The shogunate had accepted the imperial edict from the Emperor of Ming Dynasty before, so it was not an exaggeration to call Zhu Youxiao my emperor.

Shortly after sending people to negotiate with Tadaoki Sakai, Lu Xiangsheng informed Zhu Youxiao of the Shogunate, saying: "The Tokugawa Shogunate meant that he hoped to order our rifled guns directly. It was said that after seeing the flintlock rifles of our Orientals, the Western Yi improved the smelting process and replaced it with a flintlock rifle with a low dumbness rate. Therefore, the flintlock rifle has little advantage in front of the Western Yi, so he hoped to order the Ming Dynasty's rifle, and hoped to introduce the rifle-making technology of rifle-making rifle, and send a group of Ming Dynasty gun technicians to serve as consultants. He even wanted to send a group of officers to help them practice the new tactics after the rifle-making rifle."

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao sneered: "This shogunate has a great ambition!"

"Your Majesty said that in my opinion, rifled rifles can be given! The firearms of the Western Yiyi have indeed been improved. According to the relevant Western data investigated by the Jinyiwei, the importance of scientific research has always been greater than that of our Ming Dynasty! Therefore, if the Japanese want to maintain their advantages in front of the Western Yiyi, at least they have a weak advantage, they do need to have better firearms, but the rifled rifles can only give me the primary front-mounted rifle rifles of the Ming Dynasty, and even the best bullets are spherical bullets; but the technology cannot be given. The most important thing for my Ming Dynasty guns to remain advanced is not the principle of gun manufacturing, but the steel smelting process. Only the smelting process of our Ming Dynasty can make the barrel cheap and very good quality! If you give them the technology, it will naturally be equivalent to giving them the smelting process."

Lu Xiangsheng replied.

Zhu Youxiao nodded after hearing this: "Rifled rifles can be sold to them, and they can only be front-mounted rifles. However, I heard that the front-mounted rifles have been discontinued. In this way, people specially designed a front-mounted rifles for these Japanese people, opened a factory to make this rifles. As for technicians, they naturally cannot be assigned to them. Officers can be sent, not to help them guide tactics, but to install an eyeliner in his shogunate!"

"Your Majesty is wise! In my opinion, it is best for officers to be more political and military than to have any understanding of technology. They should be firm in mind in order to prevent being bribed by the shogunate by various temptations."

Lu Xiangsheng replied.

"My dear thoughtful, go and do it now."

"yes!"

On this day, Lu Xiangsheng called Sakai Tadaki to the cabinet and conveyed Zhu Youxiao's meaning to Sakai Tadaki, and gave a picture to Sakai Tadaki: "This is a firearm designed by the imperial court specifically for your shogunate, look."

Sakai Tadaki was naturally disappointed when he heard that the Ming Dynasty refused to make gun-making skills for rifled rifles and refused to send technicians. However, he did not dare to say anything, and asked: "This gun seems to be much longer than the active rifle of the Celestial King's Division, and even longer than the flintlock rifle. I dare to ask the Master, can this really maintain the advantage of weapons in front of the Western Yi?"

"Of course, this gun was designed by Song Gong (Song Yingxing), the oldest in the science and engineering science of our dynasty, personally. It is very long, and with a bayonet, it is far higher than the height of your Japanese. It can make up for the shortcomings of your Japanese in height. The accuracy and range are much higher than the flintlock rifle. If you don't believe it, you can try the gun then."

Lu Xiangsheng replied.

After hearing this, Tadaichi Sakai couldn't help but say, "It would be great if Duke Song could go to my shogunate to provide guidance in person! But, thank you for the help of the Celestial Empire!"

After Sakai Tadaki tried the gun, he was satisfied. He took out the 5 million yuan silver coins from the shogunate that existed in the Ming Dynasty Bank and handed them over to the Ming Dynasty Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau. As a deposit for this batch of firearms, he also brought the 5,000 special guns for the Ming Dynasty Shogunate produced first to the Americas.

"Mingguo is still guarded against us. He would rather re-produce the firearms they eliminated than give us new guns or even the technology to build rifled guns."

After seeing Tokugawa's family, Tadaki Sakai started talking to Tokugawa's family.

After hearing this, Tokugawa Izuno sighed: "Well! If you want to be strong, you have to rely on yourself. The Ming Dynasty's original intention was just to benefit from us! In the past, in our Japanese mainland, daimyos everywhere no longer respected our shogunate due to the intervention of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, even if our shogunate wanted to rise, it was different now. America is far from Ming Dynasty and there is no restraint from the Ming Dynasty. We must take this opportunity to strengthen ourselves, first make profits from Western countries, and then use the seized to strengthen ourselves, not to squander. The Ming Dynasty has today, I have carefully studied it. It is all because their emperor used most of the wealth he seized for technological research and development and enhance the knowledge and wealth of the people in the country, and repeatedly suppressed the powerful and wealthy bureaucrats who intend to disobey this political concept in their country! So that the Ming Dynasty can maintain its technological advantages for us now!"

Tadaki Sakai also nodded and said, "From my experience in studying abroad in Ming Dynasty, this is indeed the case! I am willing to do my best to help the general rebuild a powerful Japan in the Americas!"

"It will definitely be! Sakai Kan!"

Tokugawa Izunobu said in a friend's tone, then stood up and said, "When the officer sent by the Ming Kingdom has matured our army, we will use this new gun to rob the Western barbarians here! The best treatment for the Ming Dynasty officer sent, send the most beautiful Japanese girl from my shogunate to serve him. Even if you see him, you will be treated with me as you see him. In this way, I hope this officer can say good things about us in front of the Ming Emperor, so as to paralyze the Ming Emperor and make him unaware of our ambitions!"

"clear!"
