    ps: Some book friends complained that this is all nonsense. 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 Tinkerbell.  How to attack Odawara without artillery?  Toyotomi Hideyoshi, as a man of the world, spent five months besieging the city with an army of 220,000 before taking Odawara Castle!  Wu Mei didn't want to save the trouble and make up a random excuse, because the most advanced artillery of that era, whether it was the Ming Empire or Europe, was strictly controlled. The Guoban that Dayou's family got from Portugal was just a 3-pound eagle cannon, and they wanted a 12-pound snake.  Cannons are just a dream. How can we get cannons without this girl?  Japan has a serious iron shortage. The protagonist's workshop imports iron ore from Nizi's family. There is not enough iron material for making cannons or muskets and guns. With neither technology nor resources, how can the protagonist make artillery?  The above text is not included in the word 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 town of the big lord to commit crimes.  Francis Drake walked away angrily, and Kiragi could only shrug helplessly. He clearly just wanted to ask him 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 man and I can't talk to him for the time being.  We boarded the deck of the York again and saw the familiar gorilla again. This time we learned from the sailor who led the way that his name was Rune, and he was the youngest son from a carpenter family in Cheshire.  Because they are born tall and strong and can eat and grow.  When I was ten years old, my family was almost impoverished.  His parents were forced to send him to the sea as a sailor's apprentice, and then he was drafted into the British Navy as a sailor. It was not until last year that he was transferred to this ship as a bosun.  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 young girl used an ice pack to apply cold compress to his swollen cheek, complaining from time to time 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 under his breath, as if he disliked his sister's talkativeness.  When he accidentally caught a glimpse of Kira Yoshi, he walked in and turned around, but he forgot that there was still an ice pack on his left cheek. He suddenly turned his face and hit the ice pack, grinning in pain. However, he didn't want to show his timidity in front of Kira Yoshi, so he just  Able to hold back the pain and maintain an 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! And his teeth are very white and neat, and he has a charming smile. He must be a well-educated gentleman! "Francis?" There are always some subtle differences between Westerners' nicknames and their names, Francis Drake said.  He snorted: "Chris, you little fool, don't watch. Be careful to be deceived by this hateful guy. He suffers from severe 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 came back specially  I changed into beautiful clothes and went to see him. The gentleman only stayed in the captain's cabin for half an hour and then left voluntarily. His Highness the Duke seemed very unhappy when he came back, but he didn't say a bad word to this gentleman!  Oops! 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 collapsed.  He came down 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 to swear to God! Damn it! What a cunning guy!" "France  You mean you just challenged this gentlemanand then you were beaten and you still swore?" Francis Drake did not react and subconsciously replied: "Yes" "Then what do you mean to God?  "What vow did you make?" "Just to give up the pursuit of Claudia, and" Francis Drake stared at his sister in panic. Seeing that Christine was going to run away further, he hurriedly picked up the ice pack and ran away.  And escape.  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 is the sameSarah, a young maid dressed in men's clothing, looked at him with a bit of sympathy, which made Kiragi feel a strange feeling in his head. Looking closely at Claudia's expression, it seemed that she still remembered the unpleasant memories of yesterday.  Claudia took a deep breath and tried to make her expression look more cheerful. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly and revealed 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 will prepare a trade agreement for your review." Maid Sarah picked up a scroll and handed it to him, Kiragi.  When he took the scroll, he noticed that the feeling of the paper seemed completely different. The paper wall was extra thick and strong, and it was slightly heavy. It was obviously due to excessive weight. He didn't know what kind of papermaking technology it was made with, but it was definitely not newly introduced.  What England could produce with its papermaking technology was more likely to be 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 it.  I can only shamelessly ask Claudia for help.  Claudia chuckled when she heard his ridiculous reason.  He could no longer maintain his impeccable expression.  He ordered Sarah to help him translate sentence by sentence into normal spoken English. In fact, he could also feel that the spoken English in Middle English was completely different from the English he was talking about. Fortunately, Claudia was there at the time and could even guess.  He didn't understand anything at all, and he was still talking about the religious reform with half-baked Middle English. Looking back now, he felt ashamed of his 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, etc.  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 the most industrial products, glass.  , soap, 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 gold, silver, amber and other minerals injected in the back are non-renewable resources. Overall, it seems that we need to use our raw materials to 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!" Claudia looked at it thoughtfully!  Looking at him, he added: "We do need raw materials. You know that England is a small island country. The area 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  Appropriate discounts can be given on the prices of industrial products to ensure that Joseph can also benefit from this trade. "Jiliang Yishi smiled and said: "We also have things we produce in exchange, just like the residents of England.  Just like wearing woolen clothes in the summer, it is impossible for my subjects to wear linen clothes to keep out the cold in the winter. This gives us a basis for mutual cooperation to create mutual benefits." Sarah whispered disapprovingly: "Are you talking about linen?  We can also give birth. " "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've been following this since childhood.  My maid, I'm sorry for being a little indulgent. " "It doesn't matter! Miss Sarah is right. You can produce hemp cloth, but I can give you a price you can't refuse, because I am a big lord in northern Japan and own a large area.  The territory grows and produces a lot of linen, and countless linen is spun into cloth every day. These cloths are transported to various places for sale and are loved by merchants everywhere. I believe your people will also like this cheap and strong cloth. I just  Selling fabrics instead of ready-made clothes can ensure that the tailors in your country will not lose their jobs. "Jiliang Yoshitoki is very clear that the British textile industry is concentrated in the woolen industry. The output of linen is very low and cannot even guarantee self-sufficiency. It can only be obtained from France and Han.  Semi-hostile forces such as the Samurai Alliance purchase expensive fabrics. In Claudia's opinion, it might be a bit ridiculous for her to go all the way to Japan to buy fabrics.?, but when he offered a price far lower than that of the Hanseatic League, he 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 native areas were very backward and unable to produce raw materials and industrial products, making the Hanseatic League very backward.  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 won't be a pity to lose it.  The imminent loss of a trading point will create 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?  Woolen cloth?  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
