Chapter two hundred and seventy fifth family treatment
Lushan, it is not very useful to keep so much money to Australia. The natives definitely do not recognize the money. As long as there is a certain amount of money that can be reused internally - there are several teachers who teach economics and mathematics who are preparing to open an Australian Central Bank after they arrive in Australia.
Each group has set up a lot of material lists. In addition to the large-scale procurement of grain, fruits and vegetables, seeds, livestock, and even pig iron red copper are within the scope of procurement. Japanese red copper and silver are accompanied by Japanese smelting technology backward and cannot be separated. As long as the Lushan No. 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
These orders were handed over to interested shops. Saigo Banbingei asked Jin Sandou if he could sell firearms. The Lord of Nagasaki was willing to pay a high price. Although he had never seen the iron cannons on his back, he could create this large iron ship that could ride the wind and waves without slurry and sails. The gunmaking technology must be clever.
Although Jin Sanduo knew that this idea of imitation Jin Sanduo didn't care about the technical leak of the formal rifle. There were more than 30 machines that made guns and bullets on the ship. If you bought a few shots, Jin Sanduo would have nothing to say. If it was really easy to make guns and bullets, why should the Republic of Hawaii go far? As a civilian product, there are many guns on the official market.
Now the equipment on the Lushan ship is under debugging, and some gun enthusiasts on the ship and those who know how to machining and fitters gather together to public relations guns.
Jin Sanduo said he would discuss the matter of selling guns and give the Lord of Nagasaki a reply in a few days.
An enlarged meeting was held. Everyone agreed that they would sell it. Why not sell it if they had enough money? Anyway, the bullets were stuck in the hands of the Travellers. When the bullets they bought were exhausted, the rifles they bought were some burning guns. In a short period of time, the Travellers had no interest in the Japanese regime, the Korean regime and the Ming regime. By the time the Travellers really wanted to come, they probably had the guns been scrapped, but they were not scrapped. Control the number of sold and the number of bullets, and there would be no danger. After all, the production line was on the Lushan.
After the consensus was unified, Jin Sanduo met Saigo Banbingwei again two days later and said, "We can sell this musket. But in order to let you see the power of the musket, please let someone erect a target on the shore, which is painted red."
Saigo Banbingwei asked: "The target is fine. Where do you want to test the gun?"
Jin Sanduo said: "Of course it was from the ship."
"But here is more than three hundred steps away from the shore."
"Enough. Our guns were shot farther."
Saigo Banbui Ei had never heard of an iron cannon that could be fired more than 300 steps, and even the Fran cannon sold by Westerners had only this range. However, the other party was sure to ask himself to prepare the target. Soon, a square wooden board target, one inch thick, was lifted out of Nagasaki Castle. There were circles of eye-catching red paint in the middle. The Lord of Maori changed his clothes and mixed in the crowd watching.
When Saigo Banbingwei got on the boat again, Jin Sanduo picked up his official rifle and said to the staff: "I'm optimistic."
Jin Sanduo aimed and shot "Baoba..." After nine consecutive gunshots, the target 300 meters away on the shore on the opposite bank was almost broken. Jin Sanduo was obviously at least eight shots on the target and was not an active-duty soldier. This result is okay.
The half-guard of Xixiang came back to his senses for a long time: "This iron cannon was fired continuously!"
"Nine consecutive shots."
"Please wait, I'll go back and discuss it."
Not to mention that Saigo Banbinge was suppressed, even the Maori Castle Lord who was hiding in the crowd to watch the fun was shocked. What kind of power is this? The iron cannons were shot more than 300 steps away and their accuracy is not only the armor-breaking ability, but if the Maori family mastered this technology, how could the Tokugawa shogunate dare to oppress the Maori family?
When Saigo Banbingwei came back and told the city lord that these nine guns were shot continuously by an iron cannon. They once again suppressed the city lord. Everyone thought it was a group of iron cannons that could only produce this effect. The front-loaded rifle appeared very early in Europe just because it was difficult to load bullets (it was necessary to use a hammer to smash the bullets from the front), and it was more used for hunters and nobles to hunt, but unexpectedly, there was no white smoke coming out of the ship at that time.
After understanding all this, the Maori City Lord also knew that it would be impossible to pay a price of several hundred taels, and he could not say that he would leave the price of Seed Island back then. Finally, the Maori City Lord said: "Calculate the gold in stock for me."
After a while, the gold inventory was more than 5,000 taels, that is, Nagasaki Castle was next to Nagasaki Port. The prosperity here naturally affected the income in the city, otherwise the output from the territory alone would be far from enough to make up 5,000 taels of gold.
"Ban Bingwei, take this five thousand taels of gold again. Buy as much as you can." At this time, Japan's iron cannon manufacturing technology was already quite clever. Even when Qi Jiguang resisted the Japanese, he said that the Ming Dynasty firearms were not as good as the Japanese pirates - what we are talking about here is mainly about quality, and there were hundreds of styles of Ming Dynasty firearms.
The Maori City Lord took it for granted that he still thought that after buying a few, he would imitate them together. Maybe the position of General Yi in the future will be replaced by the Maori family.
The Maori City Lord is in pride, and the people of the Lushan River cannot tell how many semi-automatic rifles they have to sell for Nagasaki Castle. The highest price of Japanese iron cannons is recorded in history, that is, the first time the iron cannon was introduced to Japan, and the lord of Seed Island exchanged two thousand taels of gold for two mescorer guns. But the price is obviously too dark, and this transaction cannot be continued at all. The Portuguese probably understands this truth. After collecting a Japanese woman for the second time, he taught Seed Island craftsmen to make iron cannons - you should know that Japanese women are not worth it, even if they marry far away, the betrothal gift is just a few stones of rice - of course, it may also be because the Portuguese sailors on the long-term sailing ship were so hungry.
Finally, an economics teacher came up with an idea: "Let's say that the gun and ammunition are equivalent to gold. Sell them guns and ammunition according to the weight of the gold they sent."
This view is acceptable to everyone, which not only guarantees profits but also does not make it feel like it is a sky-high price.
5,000 taels of gold were calculated based on one pound of sixteen taels per pound. Each pound was a little more than 600 grams. If it was replaced by metric system, it would be 187 kilograms of gold - wiped off the pieces, and the gold was impure. A nine-shot medium-term rifle weighed 4 kilograms of ammunition. A 7.92 mm bullet weighed 25 grams per round. In this way, 25 rifles sold to Maori family with ammunition were equal to 100 kilograms of gold. The weight of 3,500 rounds was slightly more than 87 kilograms. I believe that this number would be the lord of Maori City.
Sure enough, after hearing this offer, Saigo Banbingwei was very surprised. He originally thought that he could buy ten or eight of them and even completed the task. Even if the other party thought that the strange goods were awesome, he was willing to fire three or five iron cannons. Everyone understood the city lord's thoughts.
Jin Sanduo also asked Xixiang to find someone to learn the disassembly, decomposition, cleaning, loading, insurance, and firing.
Seeing the other party's Daming put down his airs and teach the blacksmith in the city to break down the rifle step by step, the touching in Saigo Banbingwei's heart was beyond words - Jin Sanduo had no choice. He was the only one who spoke Japanese on the boat. If the gun was sold to others, it would be necessary to make people fire and maintain it. Fortunately, Zhongzheng was not a rifle known for its complex structure. After teaching several people step by step for more than ten times, he finally learned it.
The arms business was negotiated, and the refugees recruited by the Maori family also began to board the ship. At this time, the dormitory for immigrants had been renovated, and the light switches in the house were changed outside to be managed in a unified manner - to avoid these people playing with lights all night - and repeatedly switching them also affects the life of the electrical appliances.
As for the refugees recruited by the Maori City Lord, they probably even cleared the prison - but some of them did not bring weapons, but they could still see from their actions and behaviors that they were born as samurai - so many retired professional soldiers on the Lushan University were unlikely to misread.
These ronin from samurai were dealt with separately from ordinary civilians. The family members lived in the same dormitory as the family members, while the few wandering samurai who did not have family members lived together.
Wandering samurai was also helpless. Since the end of the Warring States Period in Japan, daimyos from various countries have dispersed their excess troops. For these daimyos, they can raise more troops during wartime and eat as big as the bowl of food as they eat during peacetime. Otherwise, a daimyo who gathered ronin to plot against him would be unable to take it away. One daimyo was even taken away for restoring the city walls damaged by the earthquake.
As the base camp of anti-shogunate rule in Japanese history, Kyushu has more ronin and wandering samurai than in other places. They have better work and have some short-term work days. There are also many people who gather together to fight for family robbery and gather in the mountains and forests. In addition to clearing the prisons, Nagasaki Castle also arrested all the nearby lords who had no jobs and no badges, and swept the nearby castle town--if there were a few people who came voluntarily, God knows.
People from Lushan don’t care about this. Anyway, they can’t do anything else when they are transported to southern Australia. If you want to travel home, the penguins can’t go back.
At the same time, grain, fruits, seeds, and other items were also on board. The Lushan started a crane used on the ship to fish the cargo from the wooden boats one by one on the deck.
After a total of nine days of stopping in Nagasaki, the personnel and supplies were almost all installed - this time, the time was a little nervous. There were more than 2,000 people on board the ship, most of which were to be accompanied by families. Although not enough 3,000, the Lushan Mountain was already very satisfied. North Korea may not be able to find so many people. After all, it is still necessary to focus on the population of Ming Dynasty. More outsiders are just to prevent people from joining the same place.
During these nine days, although Maori City Lord's research on new muskets was still in its infancy, there would be no big progress, the gun enthusiasts on the Lushan Mountain used two crucibles for experiments and the machinery used to build guns on the ship to actually build a cooked iron rifle, a rear-mounted rifle that fired lead bullets with black gunpowder.
After testing, the rifle was heated to a dangerous level after firing ten guns in a row, and it still had armor-breaking ability at a distance of 150 meters. The distance of 250 meters still caused great damage to the armor-free people. The horizontal shot of the bullet can fly to 500 meters. There is no kinetic energy without the fire, which is because only the round-headed lead bullet technology is used.
Although modern mechanical processing is used in the production of guns, whether it is a wrought iron or a wooden buttstock, it comes from Nagasaki Port in 1628 in the 17th century. This technology is undoubtedly epoch-making for the travelers on the Lushan. At the same time, it is also a weapon suitable for the army equipped in the 17th century - it is only half a step ahead of the muskets of this era, and they can get as much ammunition as they want.
In view of this, the Lushan River stayed in Nagasaki for a long time, and bought some pig iron, gunpowder and hardwood before leaving.
On the tenth day, I left Nagasaki Port and went to the place I agreed with Li Yinhua. There were more than 300 people waiting on the coast with their elderly and children. However, there were very few young and middle-aged men, and there were very few elderly people, mainly women and children. It was difficult for the elderly to live long under such difficult living conditions, and most men died of storms due to fishing, so there were many men and girls on Jeju Island for many years.
However, the trip to Busan was not smooth. Although the people in Nagasaki Port were panicked after seeing the large iron ship without sails, some local officials came up to talk. North Korean officials and military and civilian businessmen in Busan Port ran away cleanly after seeing the large iron ship without sails.
This is also the habit of Busan Port to deal with Japanese pirates over the years - waiting for the thieves to go. Those Japanese pirates would not attack the fortress of Jiancheng. After plundering enough in the local area, they left. After waiting for a little more than a day in the nearby sea, they did not see a living person coming to the Lushan River and could only leave resentful. After leaving Busan, they went to the north of Jeju Island, which is where Jeju City is today.
Sure enough, when the officials and civilians here saw the large iron ship of the Lushan, they all retreated back to the city, but only officials, army, merchants and craftsmen were qualified to enter the city. Those untouchables who were exiled to Jeju Island were not listed here. They could only live in the nests outside the city. This time, the Lushan also figured it out, it was true that it was recruiting people. So Captain Luojie drove a lifeboat and took Li Yinhua with an electric horn to shout to the people on the island.
"Australia recruits workers, every meal of white rice, a house to live in, a silver to get, farming, and work, and after three years of work, you don't have to be sinners here, go to Australia with us." In fact, Li Yinhua only shouted that her meaning in lifeboats was more about comforting those who wanted to get on the boat, and then copied it with the electric speaker, and then carried out propaganda war on the sinners on Jeju Island by the sea.
Speaking of which, the sinners on Jeju Island live no better than slaves. After one person ran from the ground to the shore, more people also ran over. They carried out a three-day propaganda war. Because many sinners have no surplus grain in the next day, the places with grain in the city are not allowed to let them in. Therefore, many who were reluctant to go to Australia to survive had to board the pirate ship. At least they said that there is food and accommodation, which is better than starving to death in front of them.
After recruiting more than 2,000 sinners from the Korean court here, the Lushan River left Jeju Island.
Now there are 5,000 people on the Lushan City, and the grain consumed every day is 5,000 kilograms. The Lushan City bought nearly 100 tons of rice from Nagasaki Port, but it still felt a little overwhelmed. Only 5,000 people calculated according to the target of 10,000 people. Five tons of rice a day, I am afraid that the ship will finish it shortly after it arrives in southern Australia - but Japanese rice is not cheap either. Considering the price factor, the Lushan City City City City believes that as long as the grain can be supported by Lushan City to Vietnam or Manila, it is enough.
Nowadays, both Japanese and Korean immigrants are satisfied. They eat white rice every day, and the Japanese specialty pickled radish and fish are served with them. This is what Tokugawa Ieyasu, the general of the expedition, ate this. Many Japanese and Korean people cried for a while before eating before eating.
Many students on the Lushan University thought it was a 17th century folk custom. It was only after Kim Sanduo asked that many people never had such good food until they died and could eat enough. Another Korean told Kim Sanduo that he knew a wealthy businessman from North Korea. He was once a hard-working man who only ate soy sauce and mixed rice every day, because when he was poor, he thought that eating soy sauce and mixed rice every day would be a delicious food in the world - can you be more stingy?
At the next stop, the Lushan Ship broke into Tianjin Port directly. Facing this iron-armored ship as big as a hill, several sea-sided garrisons near Tianjin either closed the gates and dared not fight, or fled in all directions. The largest warship here is only a few dozen tons of ships called Cangshan Ship. When they came over, they were tickling the Lushan Ship. They didn't see the lucky ship, but they didn't know if it was hidden or not.
There is no need to translate here. Here, the iron trumpet of the Lushan number began to be broadcast in Chinese: "Australia recruits workers and soldiers, and pays wages every month. Never default. Three meals a day, and white rice every meal. Skilled craftsmen are good at it."
In the Ming Dynasty, the system of the garrison was collapsed in the middle and late period, and only the combat-capable troops were left with servants of officials at all levels. These servants were raised by officials at all levels, so naturally they had no shortage of food and salary and were strong in combat. The soldiers left in the garrison were said to be officers and soldiers, but they were rarely full all year round, in fact, there was no difference between them and beggars. The Ming Dynasty's servant system was the prototype of warlords. It opened a precedent for soldiers to have generals. Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang and others three hundred years ago. They may not understand anything else, but when they heard the treatment of servants, they ran to the ship like crazy - servants could have enough food and still had a few taels of salary every month.
After all, the Ming Dynasty was not a North Korea that avoided war. Although most areas also used this trick to deal with bandits and Mongolian and Jurchen invaders, the officials of Tianjin Wei ran away hundreds of people to the large iron ship in just a few hours. There were still many other people in Tianjin Wei's military households and craftsmen. If this continues, the Censor will be unable to take advantage of the impeachment of a book and will be in trouble.
