The Tokugawa shogunate chose to trade honestly, and Huang Han was not prepared to bully people too much, but he just wanted pricing power, and it was not up to the Japanese to decide what to sell, how much to sell, and what price to sell.

Huang Han had already figured out how to trade, it was impossible to buy luxury jewelry and handicrafts, and to buy resources and food as much as possible.

This time, I mainly bought copper and rice, supplemented by sulfur, saltpeter and lead, and if there was still tonnage, I could also buy other foods that could be stored for a long time, and dried fish could also be bought.

I went to Japan for the first time to do business, and I am afraid that it will take two or three months to go back and forth if I am not familiar with the place, if the imperial court has something to do and cannot find the main general of the "Red Banner Army", what should I do?

It doesn't matter, the Lord will be able to go to sea! In history, Yuan Chonghuan went to sea and went to Shuangdao to trick Mao Wenlong into meeting.

What's wrong with Huang Han going to sea to inspect coastal defense? Moreover, the "Red Banner Army" also has water battalions.

As long as you go to sea, who can guarantee that you will not encounter some accidents, in case it happens that the imperial court is looking for Huang Han at this time, Song Pengfei, Yang Danian, Wang Zhanpeng, etc., it can be said that the fleet may be lost in the wind and waves.

Shen Xianyi, a senior captain who used to run Japanese routes, was summoned by Huang Han many times, and the most talked about was Japan's sea trade.

Shen Xianyi is now the captain of a new warship with a displacement of 800 tons, and he is a military attache of the sixth grade.

A new-style war ship with a displacement of more than 800 tons has about 300 sailors and gunners, and the captain should actually give the general command, and the grade should be at least five grades.

Shen Xianyi only made plans when capturing the merchant ships of Liaohai, and even personally persuaded the sailors and gunners of the merchant ships to surrender to the "Red Banner Army".

In the past, he would not go to the Wa Kingdom with more than ten armed merchant ships at a time, all of them were No. 2 Fu ships, each of which was equipped with five or six bronze six-pounder guns.

Nagasaki was the only foreign trade port licensed by the Tokugawa shogunate during the Edo period, and merchant ships from the Ming Dynasty, Luzon, the Netherlands, Portugal and other countries traded here.

Shen Xianyi was worried that without prior contact, Huang Han personally went out with dozens of ships of goods and might not be able to get rid of them in a short time, and the copper ingots in the goods needed were already resources that the Tokugawa shogunate strictly prohibited from outflowing, and it was difficult to get too much.

He advised: "General, the lower official thinks that you had better not do it yourself in this trade. We had a lot of goods with us, and it was not easy to get what we wanted to buy, so we didn't know if we would be able to stay in Nagasaki for two or three months. This time, the lower official will contact the source of goods and the buyer, and the next time the general can accompany the lower officer. ”

Huang Han said with a smile: "Tokugawa Iemitsu closed the country to control commerce and trade, that is for other countries, he is not a Japanese king, just a general of Zhengyi, my Ming Pingliao general to trade with him is worthy of him, besides, he has not exported copper ingots these years, there should be a lot of goods in hand, and it is just right to sell to us." ”

Shen Xianyi thought that Huang Han didn't understand the internal affairs of the Wa, and said with a wry smile: "General, the general of the Zhengyi is equivalent to the king in the Wa Kingdom, and the Tokugawa Shogunate manages the entire Wa Kingdom. ”

Huang Han said proudly: "You will know that everything is possible if you follow the official to go to the Wa Kingdom this time, and then the official will arrange for you to negotiate with Tokugawa Iemitsu, and this time the relevant matters have been negotiated, and the official will not go so far for business in the future." ”

Shen Xianyi couldn't cry or laugh, he wanted to say anything more but felt that it was inappropriate, and he thought that Huang Han was too confident.

He could only clench his fists and say: "Xiaguan is more familiar with Nagasaki, and at that time, he will find a daimyo who often cooperates to try to contact the Tokugawa shogunate, and strive to be able to get Tokugawa Iemitsu's reception." ”

Huang Han smiled, and he said mysteriously: "You don't need to worry about this matter, the Tokugawa shogunate will naturally invite you to negotiate, and the official knows that you understand the Japanese language, and he has also taken in a few tents who are proficient in the Japanese language."

At that time, you only need to push down the price, all in all, the goods we carry will be sold at the same price as before, but the goods purchased must be 30% lower than before. ”

Shen Xianyi's face was full of helplessness, this general is very good at fighting and can't do business at all, and what people don't want to sell will be sold to you at a price of 30%? Dream of marrying a daughter-in-law and think of good things!

Huang Han knew the virtue of the little devil very well, and he also knew that Jiajingnian was so aggressive, and the Japanese were actually Han mercenaries, and it was not the Japanese who had the audacity to invade the Ming Dynasty at all.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty was an unattainable existence in the eyes of the Japanese people, the goods of the Ming Dynasty were their favorites, and the books of the Ming Dynasty were the means for the Japanese people to show their identity and knowledge.

Drive an advanced warship to Edo Bay to show off your might, grab dozens of ships to play, kill a few forts, just see if Tokugawa Iemitsu still dares not to trade with the Ming Dynasty? Does Da Ming want the copper ingots he controls to give or not?

In the Ming Dynasty, copper is money, and in the eyes of Huang Han, copper is money, resources and indispensable important shipbuilding raw materials.

Without such protection, the life of the ship will be doubled, and the maintenance cycle will be shortened accordingly, reducing the use cycle and increasing the cost.

Because of the rectification of Ningyuan's soldiers and horses, which is equivalent to swallowing Ningyuan's 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and civilians, Huang Han has touched the nerves of too many civilian officials and military generals, and now he is simply the target of everyone.

At this time, he couldn't be too ostentatious, Huang Han decided to hibernate and use this time to go to sea to do business, and fade out of the sight of civil officials and military generals.

The situation of Chongzhen's five years of Daming is not too bad, this is because Jiannu has stopped a lot, and Shanxi's suppression of Kou seems to have made quite achievements, and then the Guanning army of 5,000 cavalry entered Shandong to participate in the war, and the Denglai rebels were contained.

Huang Han analyzed that the Jin army did not launch a large-scale attack, and it may be that the Nu chieftain freed up his hands to deal with Mang Gurtai to solve internal problems, and it was also because Chongzhen's four years of fierce battles made the division veterans tired and needed to repair.

The "Red Banner Army" followed the concept of becoming an advanced army, attached importance to discipline and the training of every soldier, and the soldiers' manual standardized many combat regulations, which would guide officers and soldiers in battle, and the pacification officers would use this as a standard to record the gains and losses of soldiers in battle.

It is impossible to train famous generals with such a model, this is related to the prestige of the Qi family's army, and Qi Jiguang is famous, but anyone is familiar with the generals under Qi Jiguang?

Huang Han followed such a path of leading troops, advocating collective strength and ignoring the individual talents of generals, because Huang Han firmly believed that all conspiracies and tricks were scum in the face of absolute strength.
