Chapter 485

"Bang Bang..."

A burst of gunfire sounded, and the rifle shot hit the target 400 meters away. At this time, twelve Dutch soldiers put away their flint guns.

With pride in his eyes, Clare said to Xiao Ming, "Your Highness, it's your turn now."

"It's really amazing. We have to say that we are a little 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 perform with the soldiers. The effect was no different from that of the Dutch soldiers, but it was enough to shock Claire.

In Europe, a ten thousand Musketeers can occupy a rich colony, but the king of Qi He is facing now does not know how many such troops there are.

"Don't be discouraged, your highness. These rifles can't offset the advantage of flint guns in the battlefield. At present, they can only be used as a wonder weapon. If your highness needs them, I can sell you the manufacturing method of these rifles." Claire's eyes twinkled with shrewdness.

Xiao Ming laughs. This Claire is really a human being, so he wants to draw oil from him. He asks casually, "how much are you going to sell?"

"How about five million taels of silver according to the way of trading in Dayu state? Of course, the silver can be replaced by tea, porcelain and raw silk. " Said Claire.

Xiao Ming was dumbfounded and laughed. These three things are the most popular luxury goods in Europe. As long as a ship of these goods can be transported back, it will be enough to make a fortune. For this reason, the huge wealth accumulated by the Cao family and the king of Chu over the years.

In order to pay for these goods, the Dutch transported a large amount of silver from Europe in exchange for these goods. It is precisely because of this that the Cao family was able to establish a bank all over Dayu.

The bank was built on a large amount of silver.

Looking at the fiefdom of the king of Chu in the northeast, Xiao Ming couldn't help drooling. When he docked in ningzhou, Xiao Ming saw the prosperous scene on the wharf. Compared with Qingzhou, Chu is still a place where merchants gather, which is much stronger than Qingzhou. Most of these merchants are overseas merchants.

However, because of the provocation of the king of Chu to the Dutch, these businessmen have lost their sea trade routes. For Xiao Ming, after opening the sea trade routes, these people are the first wave of fat sheep to be slaughtered.

"No need." After pondering for a long time, Xiao Ming gives Claire a disappointed answer. Does he buy military technology from Europe? It's a joke, but he wrote down the price Claire asked. Before long, Claire will ask him to buy military weapons.

Claire's disappointment is beyond expression. He believes that if the manufacturing technology of flint gun is handed over to the Japanese, the Japanese will take out even 10 million taels of silver, but Xiao Ming is not interested in this higher-grade firearms manufacturing technology.

Looking at Xiao Ming with a cool face, Claire's pleasure of winning just now disappears, because he begins to suspect that Xiao Ming has mastered this kind of technology.

With a sigh, he said, "OK, OK, let's start the artillery show."

Xiao Ming nodded. What he was going to do next was to shoot field guns. Like flint guns, Qingzhou army's field guns were half as heavy as Dutch's.

This makes both sides have a clear understanding of each other's weapons.

However, in Xiao Ming's view, I'm afraid that the weapons of the Netherlands can't represent the highest level of Europe, because in the 18th century, the Netherlands had declined very much, and only Britain, France, Prussia and Austria, the major countries in Europe, could represent the highest level of Europe.

After a simple contest, Xiao Ming and Claire discussed the placement of the soldiers. According to the original agreement, he would leave 2000 soldiers in the city of geranque to maintain order with the Dutch soldiers.

Claire now accepted this point, and he decided to hand over the barracks on the west side of the city to the soldiers of Qingzhou army.

They decided to fix it for two days.

On the third day, Xiao Ming and Claire's fleet began to blockade Ryukyu Island. At the same time, some warships began to cruise along Ryukyu Island to prevent Japanese pirates from reinforcing michila castle.

And their troops also began to land on Ryukyu Island. With the Dutch troops, there were 12000 Musketeers and 72 field guns on the island.

"Your Highness, our soldiers have completed the siege of michila castle." Half a day after the soldiers landed on the island, Lu Fei came to report to Xiao Ming.

Claire's manner was relaxed at this time. In his opinion, if there is no accident, the Japanese army can only go out of the city to fight with them after the food is exhausted.

"Keep vigilant to prevent Japanese pirates from sneaking in." Xiao Ming explained that in this age when observation can only rely on eyes, there are loopholes in any defense.

Although they have been cruising in this area, there is no guarantee that there will be no fish missing the net.

When Xiao Ming sets up the encirclement, Sakai in michila castle is also observing everything on the island.

After a fleet entered the port of reranzhe, they realized that there was trouble. He didn't expect that the Dutch really invited reinforcements. Moreover, the reinforcements were the king of Qi in Dayu, because they had seen these warships in Dengzhou.But he didn't panic after seeing these warships, because the fortress of michila is not so easy to break, especially they have tens of thousands of soldiers.

However, his confidence disappeared after the completion of the siege, and he realized that he would face a long siege next.

"Mr. Sakai, the Dutch and the people of Dayu are going to besiege us. Are we going to wait all the time? There is not much food in the castle to support us for a long time, and their fleet has blocked the coastline, and we can't get supplies from the sea. " A pirate leader said to Sakai.

The rise of Nobuta Yamada is full of blood. These pirates are his wandering warriors. These warriors are sent to the sea to plunder merchant ships and accumulate war capital for Nobuta Yamada.

Now Nobuta Yamada is able to defeat other big names and unify Japan. These pirates have contributed a lot.

"Our warriors will not hide in the castle and starve to death, which will damage our honor. Lord Sakai, for our warriors, we would rather fight to death than starve to death. Let's go out of the city and kill these poor weak people. Our swords will cut them in half."

"Yes, for Yamada's sake, we can die without any consideration, without scruple, without hesitation," another warrior said.

"Go to war, go to war!" The other warriors cried.

Looking at the angry warriors, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Sakai's eyes.
