363 King Sagara
Sitting in the main seat, a long knife was placed on the left side of Li Huamei, and two beautiful girls holding the knife stood on both sides.
"I haven't seen each other for more than ten days, and the Mitsui family's complexion has improved a lot!"
"Ha!" The old man from the Nagamen family bowed down and bowed: "Thank you for your medicine, Shagara, I don't know what goods you have brought back this time. Li's Goryeo sealed the sea and cut off contact with our Japan. I heard that there are tens of millions of taels of silver in the trade with the Ming Dynasty every year, so I naturally don't want to trade with our Japan Island."
Shagara? This name is very strange.
Several people sitting on one side followed Li Huamei and the military officers from Nanjing whispered to the female sailors. Most of these sailors were from Nanjing, Fujian, and Guangdong. To them, the military officers of the navy were family members and elders, which were respect from the heart.
A female soldier replied in a low voice: "The Japanese call the general the Dragon King of Shagara, so they call it Shagara!"
Damn! Several military officers thought to themselves that they had all been granted the throne. Huamei, the girl, did something on the coastline of the Japanese island, and how many people did they kill.
At this time, Li Huamei nodded to the adjutant beside her, and the adjutant stood up.
"This is my family's uncle. We can do a maritime smuggling business. We have enough weapons to provide them with the help of our family. Daming is currently taking two hundred ships of iron ore from Goryeo every day. Any difference in this is that there is a lot of steel that can flow out. My uncle needs to take advantage of this goods."
The old captain stood up and shook his battle robe. The official uniforms of the third-rank military officer of the Ming Dynasty were not faked at will.
The general of a fleet is at least a third-rank military officer.
For the Japanese, this third-rank military officer of the Ming Dynasty also needed at least several famous names with considerable power to tie them up to compare them.
The military system of the Ming Dynasty was the system of garrisons, and a garrison was like a small kingdom. What it produced was only necessary to support one's own garrisons. As for the new system, it was not something that the Japanese could know.
So Li Huamei was right. Youwei Institute wanted to sell his own steel for silver. This kind of thing is absolutely true.
One piece of steel ingot weighing one pound was sent to the old man.
"Good steel! Just don't know how many?"
"Not much, only less than three thousand stones. If the price is good, some of my brothers have the goods."
Three thousand stones!
This is not three thousand kilograms. This quantity scared the old man of the Danei family. The old captain smiled and said, "I know how much iron ore is there for the 200 boats in the Goryeo people a day? Three thousand kilograms are just the surplus of my hand in the first half of the year. In the next year, all the garrisons in Daming will add at least tens of millions of stones of fine steel a year. If it weren't for the orders of the ups and the soldiers were replaced within a specified period of time, I would have more fine steel to change it out for wine and drink it!"
"I dare not take the initiative, please allow me to do this for a day."
Li Huamei just nodded slightly. In the eyes of the old captain, this style is the female version of the white-name crane, which is domineering enough.
The old man withdrew, and Li Huamei then spoke: "Come all the black goods around here, tell them what goods are there, and let them prepare enough money."
"Does the Yujiangkou family look for it? They are the biggest cargo owners. They just cut seven fingers of one of their important figures last time and cut their ears to hold grudges?"
"If they dare, they will destroy it. Tell them that if they don't come, there will be someone else in Yujiang." Li Huamei is really domineering. She has enough confidence to deal with that force. There is no need for close combat at all. She slapped cannons for a day and a night away from a few miles away. It is enough to blow the Yujiangkou into ruins.
Yujiang is an important waterway that can cross land and go directly to the Inland Sea of Japan.
After asking several military officers from Nanjing, they found out that Yujiangkou was called Pirates, which was actually a secret force in Daming. Last time their people came here to trade, touched the face of a female soldier here, and immediately pressed her fingers down. This is still an interesting story.
At first I cut the wrong hand. I pressed the other hand and cut the finger.
Do you dare to disobey? One hundred muskets lined up, and no one who dared to say anything but disobeyed them could go back alive.
Their leader found Li Huamei to argue. Li Huamei didn't even ask about the cause and effect of the matter. He said at that time, either cut some more things and got out, or everyone didn't have to go back. The other party asked Li Huamei, don't you need to know why?
Li Huamei replied at the time: No need to know, the reason why my people don’t like you is enough.
The other party was weak and cut off the man's ear, but the transaction was completed. Li Huamei's name of the Dragon King Shagala was also called out by the people from the Japanese Island that day. The Dragon King Shagala was one of the eight dragon kings of the Sea God on the Japanese Island. Li Huamei's team was different from the Ming ship style, but it had a large number of the most advanced artillery artillery in the Ming Dynasty. Each person was equipped with a female soldier fleet with muskets and at least two steel knives. It was not only difficult to mess with, but also extremely terrifying.
"This, where can I camp at night?" the old captain asked.
Li Huamei saw that there were no outsiders everywhere, covered her mouth and smiled, then blinked the adjutant beside her. The adjutant also smiled. After communicating with another adjutant, she said with a smile: "There are many empty houses here. If you want to stay there, you can leave that pound of steel ingots for a few nights."
"Empty house, I didn't see the empty house!" Some military officer didn't understand.
"A house without men is an empty house. If you don't go, they may be sold to the Ming Dynasty for voluntarily as slaves." The adjutant said with a smile, and the old captain was angry: "Bitch, can you still get married like this?"
"The man I like is the sixth-rank military officer of Beihaiwei. Your daughter likes scholars. Uncle, you are worried about whether she can get married." Li Huamei's adjutant himself was a very tough tomboy. After being scolded by the old captain, he immediately turned back. This is her uncle, and she is cousin with her father.
The old captain was stunned for a moment, cursed and walked out, obviously preparing to go to the fleet to find his daughter where she is now.
"General, that night..." a military officer asked.
"Get out, didn't that bastard say that there is an empty house here. Get out, get out!" The old captain cursed a few times and went out angrily.
From the fishing village where Li Huamei stationed in Hong Kong, the farthest invited group is the Yujiang force. It is less than forty miles from the sea route here, and the farthest on land is twenty miles. It is half the sea route of the Danei family castle on the land route, which is more than thirty miles.
The next morning, Li Huamei was wearing a very gorgeous outfit, but she was different from the Ming style armor.
This set of armor has the style of a few knight armor, but also has an oriental style. This is a gift from Angela to Li Huamei. The special female knight armor means that Li Huamei is a knight of the white crane.
Around the shop, there were 300 female soldiers armed to the teeth, and no one dared to underestimate these female soldiers.
Not to mention the amazing martial arts skills, even the weapons in their hands are heartbreaking. In addition to the level of treasure swords, ordinary weapons on the Japanese island were cut off after touching, and the armor on their bodies could not stop the stab at Zhixiao Knife. In addition, the well-trained musket array, those who dared to make trouble in front of Li Huamei have basically turned into bones or fish food in the sea.
A big man came here in Yujiang. In addition to Li Huamei's chief, the old captain's first seat on the left, he sat in the first seat on the right. Because his surname was Shan, he was the uncle of Ishimikoshi Daming and the leader of the family.
When they saw that kind of steel ingot, the famous mountain master wanted to come here in person.
Because before, the Oda family asked them to send hostages, and that was the eldest son who sent them to marry the Oda family and chose to surrender, the benefit given was that the Oda family could smuggle such steel ingots. Because they were far away and they didn't look down on the Oda family, they refused.
Several surrounding Daming, who were not originally big, launched many attacks on the famous masters of the Oda family and their most reliable ally, Daunei family. They were still using weapons of bamboo guns, while the other party was already using real spears with wooden steel heads.
There is no way to fight at all.
Li Huamei only said one opening remark and left. Since the old captain was sent here, he naturally knew it.
There is no need to sell the ingots of 3,000 stone, and they are sold out at very outstanding prices, and they also require an additional supply. The ingots of 3,000 stone are a big deal for the Japanese island.
The Japanese still understood the Ming Dynasty in the Orthodox Year.
In the Zhengtong Year, the iron treatment of the Ming Dynasty was about 280 million jin, which can be understood as three million jin. In other words, in the eyes of the Japanese, these three thousand stones of steel were already one percent of the annual output of the Ming Dynasty's steel. Generally speaking, if ten iron and one steel produces three million jin of iron, then steel is 300,000 jin.
"There are no steel ingots at the moment, but there are other things."
A sack was lifted over and opened. It contained a bag of knives and spoons.
"This is tableware and one of the goods that are legally allowed to be exported. This thing is not restricted, and it is all made of third-class steel. This is also steel."
That's right, this spoon is indeed made of steel and was smashed with a water press of nearly 1,000 tons.
However, the quality of the steel of this spoon is very different from the ones that make the sword, which is made of residual materials.
The weight of a steel spoon is about one or two taels, and the weight of a table knife is two taels.
“How many are there?”
"As long as my brothers' wards are combined, I can get 50,000 spoons and 6,000 table knives."
The price was negotiated soon, and the next batch of 500 stone steel ingots were also determined.
Two days later, the old captain pulled his harvest, and a large number of gold bars and silver ingots went out to sea and walked south. Li Huamei's flagship accompanied him to the Strait of Japan. When he was about to return to the voyage, the old captain suddenly blew a flag and told Li Huamei that the white-famous crane was not far from here.
