Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The best route in front of Claudia is to go to the League of Cities in Italy. Both Florence and Venice are good choices, but the Autonomous Merchants League there has a more complete business system and trade protectionism that is gradually improving.  Thanks to the system, shrewd Italian businessmen can always squeeze out the last profit, and the trade goods purchased by businessmen from all over the country are always very expensive.  What's even more terrible is that Britain was listed as the most unpopular customer as early as the era of Henry VIII, and the current Queen Elizabeth I happens to be a devout Protestant. Italy is the stronghold of Catholicism, and Florence has the Medici family.  Several popes have emerged in succession and have unparalleled influence in the city alliance. Needless to say, Claudia has nothing to do. Countless British businessmen have failed there before, and there is absolutely no chance.  The fundamental opposition between Protestantism and Catholicism cannot be resolved, and the situation of two camps in European countries cannot be changed. In addition, there are no trading partners in Europe. Spain and Portugal are devout Catholic countries, and the Spanish can barely allow England to  Entering the East Asia route, it was only because King Philip II was working hard to pursue Elizabeth I that he granted permission for the Duchess of York's fleet to enter here.  John Hawkins had previously proposed establishing trade relations with the Portuguese colony of Brazil, but this did not seem to be a very safe option. In addition, the pagan Ottoman Empire in the Mediterranean was very powerful and had thousands of connections with the Italian city alliance.  With so many ties, it is completely impossible to talk about the possibility of a trading partnership.  Claudia knew that she had little choice, so she could only focus on East Asia, the legendary golden country repeatedly mentioned in "Marco Polo's Travels".  But she knew very well that the Ming Empire's maritime ban policy treated non-vassal countries in an almost lock-down manner.  Not to mention England, an island country that has never been famous.  Even Japan, a former vassal state, was shut out during the rise of Japanese pirates.  She could only choose Japan, which was relatively more familiar to her, or in other words, she could only choose Japan, the first transit point in East Asia, hoping to obtain the much-needed trade goods from here. Yoshitoki Kira also knew that her choices were limited, so he opened up the topic and said: "  Porcelain and cloth are my main industrial products. In addition, I can also provide the required printing and dyeing silk yarn and fabrics. Raw silk is difficult to obtain due to the restricted sea, but I can provide you with an unexpected industrial product.  Musket." Claudia's eyes widened in surprise, her mouth opened slightly to reveal her pink lilac tongue, and she asked with some disbelief: "Musket? If I remember correctly, you were from the Agot Chamber of Commerce a few years ago.  Introducing a batch of matchlocks and the clockmaker named Kronberg, can your territory now produce muskets? " You can imagine how surprised this girl is at this moment. It has only been more than ten years since matchlocks were introduced to Japan?  The fact that it could be copied in large quantities made her greatly shocked by the creativity of Eastern civilized countries. To show his sincerity, he decided to release a shocking news: "It can be produced, and it is a new type of musket. I will send someone to bring a new type of musket later."  Let me give you a try on the musket. You should remember that I once said that Japan is an iron-deficient country, so I hope that your country can provide me with some refined iron. I can exchange it for sulfur, pure lead, and iron cannons." "Then.  Just wait until you see the real thing!" Claudia smiled slightly and said: "I am very interested in the new cooperation model mentioned by Joseph, but my fleet is really limited and cannot carry as many trade goods as you need.  , The current trade goods in the fleet are the ones I mentioned, as well as the luxury goods purchased from the Spice Islands. We still need to discuss the specific details of this new trade model in detail. " "I don't care about those luxury goods.  After all, making some extravagant money is just a small way. If you are free this afternoon, I can take you to see my workshop and the trading products I produce. I wonder if the beautiful lady is interested in coming to Naoejin Port? "Yoshitoki Kira stood up.  Make a gesture of please.  "A gentleman's sincere invitation cannot be refused." Claudia stretched out her hand and placed it on his outstretched palm, and said with a smile: "Then please, gentleman, take me to see this magical land!" Yesterday  The unhappiness seemed to suddenly disappear, and the two of them came to Naoetsu Port in a happy mood after the winter snow. The weather was beautiful and the sun, which had not been seen for many days, showed up. Under the warm sunshine, they joined hands to visit several workshops in the town, and saw  Tens of thousands of workers in hundreds of workshops repeated the same labor over and over again, which allowed her to see the power of large-scale handicraft industry.  Kira Yoshitoki told her that the textile industry is a labor-intensive industry that can employ a large number of workers to produce countless textiles. The improvement of production efficiency requires the transformation of looms. Some of his followers are responsible for tracking anti-hand weaving.  He followed the trends of the industry and collected ideas for improving production efficiency and transforming textile machines. For this reason, he offered a reward in the hope that talented craftsmen could provide better ideas.?.  At noon, we tasted a bowl of braised pork ribs noodles at the noodle house. It was really beautiful to drink a bowl of beef bone soup in this cold season. In the afternoon, we also visited the printing and dyeing workshop, the shipbuilding workshop and the most proud Pipa.  Houses and triple houses, the lord's self-operated business system once again opened his eyes.  The afternoon passed unknowingly, and Claudia, who was still unfinished, agreed to continue tomorrow. In the next period of time, the two of them walked around the streets and alleys of Naoetsu Town, tasted delicacies from various places, and visited the castle town.  In the countryside, we inspected the agricultural system of the Kira family and the development direction of ecological agriculture.  Later, she followed him by boat to Sado Island to watch the meat processing industry, and at Niigata Port, she looked at the endless plains. All of this brought a huge shock to her heart. Gradually, Claudia's attitude towards him gradually changed.  There have been subtle changes, and she seems to be more lively and cheerful, as if she has regained the familiar figure of the little girl many years ago.  I don¡¯t know since when, the two stopped discussing economic and political topics, and instead traveled around famous mountains and rivers like a couple. They once walked in the snow to visit ancient temples and listened to the monks¡¯ morning lessons.  The beautiful snow scene, Kira Yoshitoki also took her to Yuzawa Imperial Palace to enjoy the strange feeling of soaking in the hot springs in the heavy snow in winter.  By the time we returned to the York, it was already mid-November, the beginning of winter.  Only then did the two discover that they had been playing in Echigo for a whole month.  The York's fleet has also completed all trade goods.  John Hawkins was full of praise for the new flintlock iron cannon provided by the Kira family. When he saw Kira Yoshi again, his slightly cold attitude was no longer the same. Respecting the strong is one of the virtues of human beings, and John Hawkins is respectful.  A strong gentleman.  John Hawkins shook hands with him warmly as if meeting a close friend he had not seen for many years, and then said: "Sorry, Joseph! France is my cousin, and his mother is my only aunt. I brought him with me."  I didn't expect him to engage in a duel. "When did Francis and Joseph fight?" Claudia frowned slightly.  His eyes were full of questions: "They should not know each other, why are they dueling?" John Hawkins was very embarrassed. When facing Kiragi, he showed no reaction and did not dare to open his eyes and tell lies. He could only curse secretly.  This boy Francis is causing trouble for himself, while pretending not to care, he explained: "Speaking of it, it has something to do with His Highness the Duke. France is launching a duel challenge at the cost of the loser permanently giving up the qualifications to pursue His Highness the Duke." "With  At the cost of pursuing my qualifications" Claudia looked like she didn't know what to say with black lines on her head. In fact, she was not deeply impressed by Francis. She only knew that the Hawkins family was a pair of relatives.  Brother and sister.  Relying on the relationship with the captain, he boarded the York through the back door.  Kristine is a girl and very lovable, while Francis always has a very arrogant face that makes people unhappy.  Fortunately, he usually hides in the cabin quite honestly. No one expected that such a young man would have an unrequited love for the Duke of York, let alone that he would initiate a duel when he found Kiragi.  Even Claudia was a little embarrassed at this time, and said apologetically: "Francis is the youngest sailor on this ship. He has always been very disciplined. I didn't expect him to do such a thing to Joseph. I will  Let Captain John control him more. I'm very sorry that his reckless behavior has caused trouble to Joseph. " "It doesn't matter. I like this guy very much and am very optimistic about his future. I believe Captain Hawkins can shape him into an excellent navigator.  , Besides, I won that duel." Kira Yoshishi winked at Claudia, and the girl immediately understood what he meant, and she dared to wink at him so boldly that Kira Yoshishi was shocked.  "This foreign girl is different. She is so courageous. She has seduced me many times in the past month, which makes me a little bit unable to control myself." I was shocked by the look between these two girls, and unknowingly I started to feel  I was thinking about how to write a touching love story with this little beauty.  Kira Yoshitomo is not a gentleman, let alone a fledgling without emotional experience. He has seven wives and seven children, two of whom are still pregnant and about to give birth. Whether it is personal achievements or the number of wives and children he has, in this world  The era belongs to the absolutely successful people. Compared with the middle and low-level samurai who wait until they are in their forties to get married, his life is as wonderful as a fairy tale.  The more successful a person is, the easier it is for him to obtain more resources for success. This principle is just like a monkey who only had one "wife of chaff" before he became successful, and after he became successful, he has hundreds of side wives for him to enjoy. The size of Kira Yoshihide is also considered  A successful person feels that the little beauty who comes to his door will probably not be able to escape from his grasp.  A month of getting along day and night has already made him realize that this little beauty is interested in him, although?I couldn't understand whether this little silly girl had a mental problem or some unspeakable secret that was difficult to explain, but this did not prevent him from enjoying a new relationship. At the same time, he thought proudly: "Could this be the legendary love affair?"  , Is it just because I am lucky that I can meet it? " "Because it is the middle of winter and it is not suitable for sailing, and this fleet from England is not accepted by the Spanish and Portuguese chambers of commerce, so they have to choose to spend this cold period at Naojiangjin Port.  In winter, fortunately, Hokurikudo's ports are all naturally ice-free ports, so you don't have to worry about ships being stuck here and unable to move.  Seeing that he could not leave for several months, John Hawkins found a reason to relax and took half of the crew to a nearby hot spring vacation. The other half of the crew stayed with the fleet and would rotate it every half a month. Kira  The sailors are given certain discounts when they come here to make their purchases. For example, the Yaoshan Hot Spring was booked by Hawkins' sailor team at a 80% discount for the entire winter.  Most of the crew of the York were gone, and the remaining few were hiding in the cabin, drinking, playing cards and sleeping.  The actual protection of the fleet is actually left to the concerted police at the port.  One of their tasks is to protect the safety of ships in the port.  And charge a certain management fee from this care process.  Once the crew was gone, it meant that Kira Yoshishi could live in the York without any problem. The maid Sarah was sent to other rooms, and Kira Yoshishi would leave his room every now and then to talk about life with Claudia.  Talking about ideals, I don¡¯t realize how awkward it is to be alone in the same room with a man and a woman.  One night, the two of them were drinking and chatting in front of flowers and under the moonlight. Claudia drank half a bottle of wine, and her entire face turned red like rouge, leaving a faint blush on the mutton-fat jade. The slightly tipsy girl smiled and said: "  Joseph, you are such a coward, why haven't you dared to touch me for so long? Are you afraid that I will eat people? " "Be reserved, you are a lady, don't act like Ahem!"  I understand, I guess you haven¡¯t gone through human affairs yet!¡± She swallowed those two dirty words before she spoke, but Claudia giggled: ¡°You want to be a slut? Virgin slut, how dare you?¡±  Don't you dare to ask for it?" Drunk Claudia put one hand on her forehead when she felt Kiragi, and put the other hand on her own forehead. After a while, she said seriously: "No fever, look.  You must be drunk here. Alcohol is indeed the natural enemy of human beings. You drink so much even if you are told not to drink. If you say this now, how will we get along with you in the future? " "I don't want to get along with you.  !" Claudia dropped the wine glass in a daze, stood up unsteadily, walked to the bed and lay down.  She said to him in this very unladylike sleeping position: "Joseph, answer my question, as a man, do you dare to want me?" "Why not! You just wait to suffer the little silly girl who comes to your door.  Die!" Kira Yoshi suddenly jumped up, but the next moment he suppressed the rising desire in his body and said calmly: "But I have a question, how could you become like this? The Duchess of York should be like this?  She is a woman who is sought after by thousands of people. There are so many outstanding noble men, but you choose me, a married man who is thousands of miles away? " "You really can't help but ask!  I thought you would always pretend to be crazy and be a bastard who takes advantage!" Claudia's cheeks were still as red as fire, but her hazy drunken eyes gradually became clear and clear, and she said with a slightly sarcastic smile on her lips: "Woman  No matter how much you achieve, you cannot avoid the eternal topic of men. This is true for me and so is Her Majesty the Queen, so Her Majesty would rather find a married man as her lover than marry Philip II of Spain. " "You are not.  "Is Queen Elizabeth I going to marry that Robert Dudley?" "They are in a love that is destined to be fruitless. The Queen understands it, and Robert Dudley understands it," Claudia said after a long silence.  When he was in Portsmouth, the nobles in the country were planning a conspiracy against Robert Dudley. The Queen knew it, but Robert Dudley didn't know it. The Queen could not stop the nobles from uniting against him. Their love was over from the beginning.  " Robert Dudley was a married man. In this era when Catholicism and Protestantism were at their peak, monogamy was a deep-rooted and unchangeable iron law. There was only one way for Elizabeth I to marry Robert Dudley. Let him  Divorce and then marry the Queen to become the Prince of England. Unfortunately, Robert Dudley's wife was determined not to allow the divorce. In addition, the nobles deliberately fabricated his "Chen Shimei" behavior of abandoning his first wife to climb a high tree, so that the Queen and her lover did not dare to act rashly.  The nobles knew that sooner or later, if this stalemate continued, the Queen would make up her mind to cook the rice. Once the Queen broke her heart and proposed to the Parliament of the Nobles and Robert DudleyThe requirement of marriage would really bring shame to the entire English aristocracy and even the kingdom. This was not in the interests of the Protestant nobility, and it was also not in line with the interests of some Catholic aristocrats in marrying King Philip II of Spain.  The British nobles can accept that the Queen has a lover, but they cannot accept that the Queen marries a married man who is a hugely influential nobleman in the country and has moral flaws, and they cannot accept that the Queen gives birth to this married man.  The queen's father, the cruel King Henry VIII, stipulated that illegitimate children had no inheritance rights.  The queen's mother, Anne Boleyn, was beheaded by her cruel father for the absurd crime of "adultery" because she could not give birth to a son. The queen herself was once treated as an illegitimate daughter and thrown into a monastery. It can be said that the queen was the mastermind of the aristocratic group.  The king raised from the shackles of his "illegitimate daughter".  Her power and status came from the British nobility.  She can only lead the British aristocracy and gentry to greater success.  Rather, the existence of the aristocratic group itself cannot be manipulated at will.  The general situation is like the environment when Takeda Shingen, the Tiger of Kai, first came to the throne. The governor of the house held by the gendai vassal group did not have much independent power. He only had one choice and he had to make a show to prove that he was worthy of the gendai vassal.  They join forces to rebel against the elected British master, otherwise his end will be a tragedy.  He probably knew what the conspiracy mentioned by Claudia was about. When Robert Dudley was visiting home, his wife suddenly fell down the stairs and died on the spot, which resulted in a series of rumors.  The queen's lover killed his wife to clear the way.  Even if there is evidence to testify for him afterwards, his reputation is destined to be completely lost, and he is destined to be a loser in this marriage battle.  Kira Yoshi walked to the bed and sat down gently, caressing Claudia's soft and tender body like mutton-fat jade, and asked softly: "I can understand Elizabeth I's love tragedy, but what does the queen's tragedy have to do with you?  "Relationship is very important, because I am the Queen's confidant, I am the last descendant of the York family, and I am a daughter." Claudia laughed at herself slightly: "Thanks to me being a girl, if I was a boy, I might have been."  Become a pile of dead bones in the Tower of London, just like my ancestors. The nobles are very taboo about my origin. More than one person told me the fact coldly in front of me that the York family will be extinct in my generation.  I am the only one in the Duchess of York. They will not allow any nobles to marry me, let alone European nobles. If I have an illegitimate child, I will only die" Kira Yoshi was silent. He could not imagine a teenager.  A 20-year-old little girl was told to her face by a group of middle-aged and elderly nobles that she would never get married and have children in her life. If she dared to disobey, she would be severely punished by us. This is such an outrageous and shameless face, not to mention the treatment.  A helpless young girl.  "Joseph, do you know what this means? It means that my life has ended early. They can't even allow me to appear frequently in the Parliament in London, just because my identity is too sensitive and will cause a lot of trouble. The Queen cannot protect it.  I can only give me a chance to escape while the nobles are busy dealing with Robert Dudley. I, the Duchess of York, may really become a lonely ghost." Claudia is a strong person.  The girl still didn't cry until this moment. Kira Yoshi lay next to her and hugged the poor girl, kissed her forehead gently and said softly: "I have worked really hard for you these years. I didn't expect you to go through this."  After so many hardships and ups and downs, I have underestimated you before. I feel very ashamed of my rashness and stupidity. I¡¯m sorry!¡±  A woman who has no descendants, and I don¡¯t want the York family to be extinct in my hands I think you are good, and being my lover will not make me feel wronged or disadvantaged. Can you help me?" Claudia stared at him?  His eyes released endless longing.  Kira Yoshichi was dissatisfied and said: "I became your reproductive tool? This is too nonsense! After all, I am also a dignified man, how can I do such a thing? Besides, shouldn't you choose a lover among the European aristocrats?  ?¡± Claudia blinked and said to him: ¡°England has bad relations with other countries in Europe because of religious issues. You also know that I have never been exposed to these decadent and dark aristocrats in my background. I don¡¯t like those hypocrisy.  The guy who reeks of stench and perfume, the nobles in London don't want me to find strong support outside of England. According to their plan, after taking control of the queen's power, they will send me to a monastery to spend the rest of my life. You  Do you want to see me spend the rest of my life in such misery? " "Okay! Let's not worry about tracking and that issue" Ji Liangyi stared at her with a dark look on his face: "How do you plan to raise the child?  The aristocrats of London do notAllowing you to have illegitimate children is a very troublesome matter!  " Claudia stroked her long hair and gave him a charming smile, and said confidently: "I will put him in the New World until he reaches adulthood and then send him back to London. I will make those nobles angry to death. I believe  The Queen will definitely protect my child until then.  " Kira Yoshihiro shrugged and expressed no objection. It is almost self-evident how powerful Elizabeth I is. Her glorious achievements are hundreds of times better than his lord who has struggled for ten years. Maybe in the future he can achieve his dream and be able to barely compare with contemporary  Achievements, but he is the top ruler who created the "Golden Age", but he has no confidence at all to achieve that exaggerated historical achievement. "Okay!  I guess you are right. I do know some places in the New World. I guess Captain Hawkins has probably walked through that channel. I will mark out the approximate locations of these islands for you. They are still very good choices for raising babies.  " "Then what are you waiting for?  If you don¡¯t come up, I will come up!  "Claudia sat up and took off her long skirt in a few seconds, revealing her red body like a large piece of white jade. What surprised him was that it was empty without any underwear. This level of boldness was slightly  Powerful. Kiragi was amazed and took off his clothes on both hands and feet. The two of them took off their clothes at the same time, revealing their naked bodies. Claudia suddenly trembled and got into bed immediately.  Only then did Yishi remember that the weather outside was still below zero, so he was a little too unrestrained. He hurriedly got in and hugged the little foreign girl's voluptuous body and said: "I can't tell that your body is so strong. You are just wearing a thick woolen skirt.  I don¡¯t even have to wear them, and I¡¯m not afraid of getting cold.  " "Don't be afraid!  "Claudia turned over and sat on him, grabbed Kira Yoshi's hands and kneaded them on the two plump and huge breasts on her chest, and gently supported his high-spirited spear and slowly lowered it. This  The series of movements were as concise and smooth as if they had been rehearsed thousands of times. If he hadn't felt the familiar feeling of the spear piercing the barrier, and the pained expression on Claudia's brows, he would have thought he had encountered someone.  The slut pretending to be innocent said to herself: "The specialness of this little foreign girl cannot be measured by common sense!  " It didn't take long for the two of them to begin to wear rough clothes. It only took less than a moment to go from lightly twisting and grinding to flying up and down. The Anglo-Saxon's strong physique shocked him again. This was because he was playing with women.  It was completely the woman who was playing with him. He didn't move from beginning to end. The only thing that could be called interaction was holding the two peerless breasts on her chest as a point of support. This love lasted for nearly an hour.  The virgin knight who had tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time, Claudia rode on the "war horses" of Kiragi Shi and galloped the whole way. Even if the punctured area started to be red and swollen, she refused to come down. She said to him stubbornly: "This is me  My child is not yours and will not bear your last name, so I want to maintain the initiative and would rather endure more hardship than let myself feel that I owe you.  " "Where are all these?  " Kira Yoshiki finally convinced this stubborn and silly little foreign girl. He took out the ointment and smeared it on her injured area with pity until she finished the tossing. Then he promptly declared: "Don't think too much, this is me.  I prepared the things a long time ago. I thought I would take advantage of you, so I prepared some ointments for later use. Don¡¯t think you will owe me anything!  If you give birth to a child and raise it on your own, I, as a father, will only owe you. If I treat you better now, I should be compensating for the child's lost father's love.  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels are better and updated faster! ps: Just like a book friend in the book review area asked Wu Mei when he would fill this hole, many book friends in the group have asked me, is Wu Mei real?  I was hesitating whether to write this, and then I was encouraged by a book friend to write it. If I didn¡¯t write this paragraph, I would have to use the "non-traveler" method to slowly and slowly build up a territory for a long time, but the book friend complained that "it doesn't look like a time traveler at all."  "What to do". In addition, Wu Mei revised a few sentences and explained them in Chapter 483 yesterday. Book friends who have subscribed can go and read it again.
