In addition to defending the shogunate, this force is another responsibility to make the shogunate more penetrate into the shogunate of the Japanese shogunate.

This obviously does not conflict with the policy of the Shinguo Mansion. On the contrary, when the Shinguo Mansion begins to communicate with Japan in the future, a group of classes and nobles who benefited from the Shinguo Mansion will be cultivated in the country of Japan. This is an economic and political infiltration, while the new shogunate army is a military infiltration. As long as the Ashikaga family is willing to cooperate with the Shinguo Mansion, it will be good for each other.

Ye Chunqiu said again: "Then, there is another question. Since people have been recruited and started to practice, what about the firearms? His Highness Ashikaga, the cost of this firearm is quite expensive..."

Ashikaga Yoshikazu frowned, as if he had already made up his mind, and said, "Buy, no matter what, the shogunate will do its best to raise the money and will do everything possible."

For Ashikaga Yoshitao, the strength of the new army in the Shinguo country is too far from that of the Japanese army. If the shogunate had a new army of thousands or thousands of people, the shogunate's rule in Japan would inevitably be stable.

This is also why he made up his mind. If he doesn't buy it now, when will he wait? In Japan, gold and silver are both empty, and only force is really important.

Ye Chunqiu was also quite pleased with this. He was not worried at all that the new shogunate army would pose any threat to the Ming Dynasty. With the current skills of Japanese forging steel, even the basic steel tempering technology was not as good as possible, let alone the difficulty of really building a rifle.

Even if the new shogunate army bought rifles, they could not imitate it. It was impossible for at least thirty years. Thirty years later, even if they barely imitated it, the Ming Dynasty's manufacturing skills could still be suppressed very effectively.

This means that the new shogunate army can only rely on the continuous procurement of arms from the Shinkoku government to maintain the new shogunate army. This is the case with rifles and gunpowder. Bullets are consumables after all. With rifles and without bullets, this rifle is not even as good as a fire stick. The new gunpowder is by no means as simple as black gunpowder. Even if there is a formula, it is extremely difficult to make it. But this formula falls into the hands of the Shinkoku government, with countless measures to ensure that it will not flow out.

This means that if the bullets of the Shogunate New Army were not purchased from the Shinkoku Government at any time, and without the Shinkoku Government providing support to it, the rifle would have no effect.

It can not only sell arms and make considerable profits from them, but also invest a lot of profits in production and research and development, and also cultivate more relevant skilled craftsmen. At the same time, once the new shogunate army relies on this kind of rifle, it cannot be quit at all. In addition, the role of the instructor, a two-pronged approach is used by the new shogunate army, although in name is used by the shogunate, it is almost equivalent to the vassal of the new shogunate army.

Using other people's money to recruit Japanese people and then establish a half-affiliated armed force to the Zhenguo Mansion. It can be said that such a good thing can't be found even with a lantern.

As smart as Ye Chunqiu, how could he refuse?

Although he was very satisfied, Ye Chunqiu still maintained a calm attitude on his face and said, "Since His Highness Ashikaga is interested, I have decided on this matter. I will continue to explain the relevant matters and select 30 people from the new army of Zhenguo to Kyoto of your country. As for the matter of guns and bullets, I am not the only one who can do it. You know, this Zhenguo Mansion is a shareholding system. Even guns and bullets will not be achieved without the permission of the court. Therefore, I still need to talk to your highness about the price, and I have to go to the China Merchants Agency to discuss with the shopkeeper Sun."

Ashikaga Yoshitaki probably knew that the new shogunate army might not be able to be firmly controlled by the shogunate, but he thought that as long as the shogunate and the shogunate could be interdependent, the risk of being seized by the shogunate will be minimized. It is easy to say that the new shogunate army should be directed to target the daimyo in Japan. As long as it is not targeted at the shogunate, what is the relationship?

Thinking of this, he felt relieved and hurriedly said, "I'll ask Duke Zhenguo for this matter."

"If it's not the case, it's natural for you and me to be together and to be interdependent." Ye Chunqiu's words were not polite, but very real.

Ye Chunqiu even sighed in his heart that the Ming Dynasty's foreign policy, to some extent, did help him a lot. It is precisely because of this national policy of being kind to his neighbors that all countries have reached a consensus that the Ming Dynasty will not be greedy for your land. It is precisely because of this that everyone flocks to pay tribute. It is also because of this inherent understanding that the two countries have today's mutual trust.

For example, Ashikaga Yoshikazu, he would rather believe in the Shinguo Mansion than believe in his domestic daimyo. The fundamental problem is that he knew the national policy of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty had no ambition to expand its territory for Japan, which would not affect the shogunate's rule over Japan. The real troubles of the shogunate were the vassals in the country.

It is precisely because of this consensus that although the dominance of the new army may be in the hands of the Shinguo Mansion, Ashikaga Yoshito would not take it seriously. As long as he did not oppose the Shinguo Mansion, the Ashikaga family would be as solid as the rule of Japan.

After talking about the main business, both of them couldn't help but feel relaxed. Ye Chunqiu thought that this was the first time that Zhenguo Mansion launched an arms trade. It happened that the new army's rifles had been improved and were about to change their clothes. The batch of firearms that were eliminated were just sent to Japan. Since then, Zhenguo Mansion has added another source of wealth. The arms trading has always been huge profits. Moreover, with this, it would be great if it could raise a group of craftsmen in Zhenguo Mansion.

After finishing the important matter, the two of them talked about everything and told each other about their own experiences.

Ashikaga Yoshikazu was very happy and was very happy, so he spoke more relaxed, saying, "This time I came to the court, I got a lot of money and food. I want to return to Japan earlier and raise money and food. Oh, the matter of rifles should be as soon as possible. It is easy to discuss the matter of gold and silver. I am afraid that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty will not be allowed, but it is a bit difficult. But I thought that the Duke of the State would fulfill his words. Since he agreed to this matter, there would be a guarantee. Then, I would like to take a boat back to China in a few days, and it would be better to recruit warriors soon."

Ye Chunqiu knew that he was afraid of the long night and dreams, so he did not refuse, so he said, "When will you leave, your highness say hello, Ye will do it for your Highness."

As he said that, Ashikaga Yoshikata set off to say goodbye. Ye Chunqiu sent him out and called a crane cart to send Ashikaga Yoshikata to the Honglu Temple. Ashikaga Yoshikata suddenly stopped and said, "If the country is trained in a new army, what name should be better?"
