Chapter 482: warrior

"Boom..."
A burst of gunfire sounded and the rifled gun hit the target at a distance of 400 meters. At this time, twelve Dutch soldiers put away their flintlocks. "W. ⒉3T
Claire had pride in his eyes, and he said to Xiao Ming: "His Royal Highness, it's your turn now."
"It's really surprising. I have to say that we are slightly inferior in guns. We don't have guns that can reach 400 meters," Xiao Ming said.
Out of sincerity, Xiao Ming asked Lu Fei to take the soldiers to perform once, and the effect was no different from that of Dutch soldiers, but this was enough to shock Claire.
In Europe, a 10,000-man musket team can completely occupy a rich colony, and the King Qi he is facing now does not know how many such troops there are.
"His Royal Highness need not feel discouraged. These rifled guns cannot offset the advantage of flintlock guns on the battlefield. At present, they can only be used as a surprise soldier. If Your Highness needs them, I can sell this method of manufacturing rifled guns to Your Highness. "Claire's eyes flashed with shrewdness.
Xiao Ming laughed. This Claire is really a human being, so he wants to draw oil and water from him. He casually asked, "Then how much are you going to sell?"
"According to the way of buying and selling in the country, how about five million taels of silver? Of course, these silver can be replaced with tea, porcelain, or raw silk." Claire said.
Xiao Ming laughed blankly when he heard this. These three things are very popular luxury goods in Europe. As long as they can ship such goods back, they are enough to make a fortune. It is precisely for this reason that the Cao family and the King of Chu have accumulated huge sums over the years. Of wealth.
In order to pay for these commodities, the Dutch transported a large amount of silver from Europe in exchange for these commodities. It is precisely because of this that the Cao family was able to establish a bank throughout the country.
This bank is based on a large amount of silver.
Looking at the fief of the king of Chu in the northeast, Xiao Ming couldn't help drooling. When he docked in Ningzhou, Xiao Ming saw the bustling scene on the dock. Compared with Qingzhou, the place of Chu is still a place where merchants gather. There are too many strong ones, and most of these merchants are maritime merchants traveling overseas.
However, because of the provocation of the King of Chu against the Dutch, these merchants now lost the sea trade route. For Xiao Ming, after the sea trade route was opened, these people were the first wave of fat sheep to be slaughtered.
"No need." After pondering for a while, Xiao Ming gave Claire a disappointed answer. He bought military technology from Europe? It was a joke, but he made a note of the price Claire asked for, and before long, Claire would beg him to buy military weapons.
Claire's disappointment was overwhelming. He believed that if the flintlock manufacturing technology was handed over to the country, the country would produce even 10 million taels of silver, and Xiao Ming was not even interested in this higher-end firearm manufacturing technology.
Looking at Xiao Ming with an indifferent expression, Claire's pleasure from winning just now disappeared, because he began to suspect that Xiao Ming had mastered this technique.
Sighing, he said, "Okay, okay, let's start the artillery show."
Xiao Ming nodded. The next thing to be done was the firing of the field artillery. Like the flintlock, the field artillery of the Qingzhou Army and the Dutch field artillery were half a catastrophe.
This gave both sides a clear understanding of each other's weapons.
However, in Xiao Ming's view, I am afraid that Dutch weapons cannot represent the highest level in Europe, because in the eighteenth century, the Netherlands has been in decline. The major European countries, Britain, France, Prussia and Austria, can represent the highest level in Europe.
After a simple test, Xiao Ming and Claire discussed the placement of soldiers. According to the original agreement, he would leave two thousand soldiers in the city of Geranz with Dutch soldiers to maintain order in the city of Geranz.
Claire now accepts this frankly, and he decides to hand over the military camp on the west side of the city of Jeranj to the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army.
After the matter was decided, the two decided to fix it on the spot for two days.
On the third day, Xiao Ming and Claire’s fleet began to block Ryukyu’s main island. At the same time, some warships began to cruise along the Ryukyu main island to prevent Japanese pirates from continuing to reinforce Michra Castle.
And their army also began to land on the main island of Ryukyu. Together with the Dutch army, there were 12,000 musketeers and 72 field guns on the island.
"His Royal Highness, our soldiers have completed the siege of Mitchla Castle." Half a day after the soldiers landed on the island, Lu Fei came to report to Xiao Ming.
Claire looked relaxed at this time. In his opinion, if nothing happened, the Japanese army could only go out of the city to fight against them after the food was exhausted.
"Remain vigilant to prevent Japanese pirates from coming and sneaking in." Xiao Ming confessed that in this era where observation is only an eye, any defense has loopholes.
Although they are already cruising in this area, there is no guarantee that there will be no fish slipping through the net.
And when Xiao Ming arranged the encirclement, Sakai in Mitchra Castle was also observing everything on the island.
After a fleet entered the port of Geranj, they realized that the trouble was coming. He did not expect that the Dutch would really invite reinforcements, and that the reinforcements were still the king of the Great Yu Kingdom, because these warships were in Dengzhou. Have seen.
But after seeing these warships, he still didn't panic, because the bastion of Mitchra City was not so easy to break, especially since they still had tens of thousands of soldiers.
However, his confidence disappeared after the encirclement was completed, and he realized that he would face a long siege next.
"Master Sakai~EbookFREE.me~ The Dutch and the Da Yu people are going to besiege us, are we just waiting like this? There is not much food in the castle to support us for too long, and their fleet is blocked With the coastline, we can't get supplies from the sea." A pirate chief said to Sakai.
Yamada Nobunaga’s rise is full of blood and blood. These pirates are his wandering warriors. These samurai are sent to sea to plunder merchant ships to accumulate war capital for Yamada Nobunaga.
Now that Nobunaga Yamada can defeat other daimyos to unify the country, these pirates have contributed a lot.
"We samurai will not hide in the castle and starve to death. This will damage our honor. Sakai-sama, for us samurai, we would rather die in battle than starve to death. Let us go out of the city and kill these poor and weak. His katana will chop them in half."
"Yes, for Yamada Daimyo, we can die without hesitation, die without hesitation, die without hesitation," another samurai said.
"Go to war, go to war!" The other samurai also shouted.
Looking at the angry samurai, Sakai's eyes flashed fiercely.
