Ye Qingyun looked solemnly at the troops outside Dengzhou city.
The front of this army is the Japanese, and behind them are the Dutch with red hair, blue eyes and high nose.
At this time, looking at the rifles of Japanese soldiers and Dutch soldiers, he felt a sense of depression. Since Qingzhou was equipped with muskets, muskets, a powerful weapon, were known by the feudal generals.
While cooperating with the Qingzhou army, they also saw the power of muskets, so they were still afraid of muskets.
Now that the 4000 strong firearm troops are outside Dengzhou City, he is naturally a little nervous, especially when he sees that there are six guns in the army.
However, one thing is to be thankful for. Nowadays, there are guns in the city of Dengzhou. After the shipyard chose here, 36 guns have been transported from Qingzhou.
Now these guns are the only firearms in their hands, although they are a little insignificant compared with the miles long city wall.
Under the city, rod's face soon changed after he laughed at the soldiers on the wall, because they soon found the gun at the head of the city.
"It seems that the king of Chu didn't lie. The king of Qi is really different." Rod's face gradually changed.
Compared with rod, Sakai's performance is somewhat unscrupulous. He said to rod, "ambassador rod, now it's time to show these soldiers in Chongqing some strength."
With that, Sakai asked the soldiers to form three teams to prepare for the attack.
"Slow down!" Rodriguez said that they are not fools. They can't provoke the enemy without confirming the real strength of the enemy.
Both he and Claire insist on this. Their real purpose is trade and they don't want to build a strong enemy in this place.
And the long voyage from Holland is doomed that they can only fight here alone. If they fail, they will have to withdraw from this sea area.
Sakai's bloodthirsty smile froze, and he said, "ambassador rod, aren't we here to occupy Dengzhou city?"
"No, we need to talk about it first. If the king of Qi is as weak as the king of Chu, we can turn this place into the next supply point. If he is very strong, we need to be cautious." Rod said solemnly.
Sakai laughed contemptuously. "Ambassador Rhode, it's obvious that Dayu is very weak now. Yamada Daming can easily defeat this country. The army here can't use firearms, and our soldiers are generally equipped with rifles. Of course, if you can give us the manufacturing technology of flint guns and field guns, we can defeat Dayu more easily "The state of Chongqing."
Rod looked warily at Sakai, and now the Japanese nation is undergoing changes that are not very friendly to them. After they introduced the manufacturing technology of muskets into the Japanese nation, the Japanese nation has been equipped with muskets in a short period of 30 years.
Moreover, after the civil war, an ambitious Nobuta Yamada occupied the dominant position. In his view, this Nobuta Yamada was extremely aggressive and was making a huge plan to conquer the surrounding countries.
In his view, the former Japanese countries are becoming more and more dangerous, so that they have to compromise with them everywhere to maintain the trade in East Asia.
"War is the business of your East Asian countries. All we Dutch need is trade. This time, we just need to find out why Dayu parliament makes firecrackers. That's what you're here for." Rod's tone increased a little, it seems to blame the Japanese for divulging the secret of the torch.
Sakai had a nose of wine trough. At this time, his nose became red because of his anger. He explained: "we are not fools. We can't give the manufacturing technology of the firerope gun to the state of Dayu. Moreover, the craftsmen who manufacture the firerope gun in the state of Japan will be monitored. They can't reveal their skills. Instead, you Dutch sold the firerope gun to the king of Chu in Dayu for business. It's not true I'm not happy about this. If you Dutch want to trade in this sea area, you have to abide by our rules. "
"Mr. Sakai, pay attention to your words. Don't forget that without us Dutch, Japan would not have achieved what it is today. We brought you European science and technology." Rod said angrily.
Sakai once again shows his disdain. They know that the Dutch are weak. In fact, the Dutch have become a second rate country in the West. However, they still need more goods from the Dutch.
"Yes, Ambassador rod, I listen to you today." Sakai waved his hand, and the Japanese soldiers put away their guns.
"Hum", rod walked forward. One of the reasons why he tried to discuss with the king of Qi was to contain the gradually powerful Japanese.
Now that the Japanese have become arrogant, they need to have another force in East Asia to compete with them, so that they can maintain their existence in East Asia for a long time.
Originally, the candidate was the king of Chu, but the longer they got along with each other, the clearer they knew that what the king of Chu wanted was the throne of Dayu, and they didn't care about anything outside the country.
"Who's coming? Give me your name as soon as possible." Ye Qingyun looks at the Dutchman walking forward.At this time, the gunner had lit the torch and was ready to bombard the uninvited guests.
"My name is rod. I'm the Dutch ambassador to East Asia." Rod came to the city and said, "we hope to meet with you king of Qi. Please bring this news to your king. We don't mean to offend you."
"What, rod! What Ambassador! Laozi doesn't understand this, but since you want to see your royal highness, why do you need to bring so many people here? Do you want to see our royal highness? You want to invade our city. " Ye Qingyun said angrily.
Although the equipment is not as good as the Dutch in the city, ye Qingyun does not show a trace of cowardice. In the past two years, the armies of various states are shaping the soul of the army. My glory, that is, the spirit of loyalty, goes deep into the hearts of every general.
It is better to die than to give in.
Rod looked at the soldiers behind him. The reason why they came with the fleet and soldiers was to show their strength, so that they could get more chips at the negotiation table.
"You are wrong. These soldiers are just for our safety. In order to show sincerity, I can go into the city alone and have an interview with your king of Qi." Rod continued.
Originally, he had enough confidence, but he had to be cautious when he saw the guns on the wall.
Ye Qingyun turned his eyes. He deliberately exaggerated the number of days and said, "we can inform his Royal Highness the king of Qi, but Qingzhou is six days away from here. You must wait."
