"Just make sure you know it yourself."
Zhu Ming said, but did not reply to Ander.
A child's body still can't handle much alcohol.
Just these few drinks made his ears start to feel hot.
"I'm telling you, all the Japanese pirates around Daming have been wiped out."
Ander looked at Zhu Ming proudly, as if asking for credit, and raised his head with a proud look on his face.
I was attacked by these Japanese pirates and the ship sank, so I ended up living in Ming Dynasty, a place I was unfamiliar with.
Fortunately, I bet on Zhu Ming and I made the right bet.
Now he not only had his revenge, but also became a general of the huge Ming Empire.
"Your Ming Dynasty cannons won't work."
After talking happily, Ander stretched out his hand again, waved it in front of Zhu Ming, and talked about the cannon with a look of disgust on his face.
"If you hit it too close, it won't be powerful enough."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hands, compared the distance, and curled his lips disdainfully.
"This is true."
Zhu Ming could only smile awkwardly. Now, Ming Dynasty still uses primitive artillery, and the gunpowder is still relatively weak black powder.
"The reloading speed is even slower. Several times, the Japanese pirates boarded the ship on the gangplank."
As he said this, Ander felt aggrieved and pointed at a scar on his face.
But he just complained. After all, the artillery there was pretty much the same now, so he could only shoot like this.
"Soon, I'll give you a brand new cannon."
Zhu Ming looked at Ander, who was full of resentment towards the artillery, and chuckled.
Although the industrial revolution had just begun, the books he used for scientific education had only just been published.
But it should still be possible to get some more powerful gunpowder. "real?"
Hearing Zhu Ming's promise of new artillery, Ander suddenly became energetic and his blue eyes widened.
Few people in his navy understood the importance of artillery better than he did.
"real."
Zhu Ming nodded, as if he was afraid that Ander wouldn't believe it, and stretched out a finger: "Just put it on your fleet next time you go to sea."
Ender was the person he selected to launch the great voyage.
Even clearing the surrounding Japanese pirates is just part of the great voyage.
Only when the routes are safe can more people be attracted to our country, bringing more technology and discoveries with them.
"It's a deal!"
Seeing that Zhu Ming was so sure, Ander was so excited that he almost jumped up.
"But let me tell you, the compensation you want may not be possible."
Ander said, suddenly lowering his voice and looking at Zhu Ming seriously.
The swaying look and serious look in his eyes made it somewhat unclear whether he was awake or not.
"Why?"
Hearing Ande's words, Zhu Ming immediately frowned and asked aloud.
Now that the Japanese pirates have been wiped out, what can the Japanese country do to bargain with itself and still want to refuse compensation?
"After I wiped out the Japanese pirates, I visited their country."
Ander put down his wine glass and told what he had seen and heard in Japan.
There were so many big names there that it was impossible to find anyone who could negotiate on behalf of them all.
Ander took the Ming Dynasty's fleet and circled the Japanese country for half a circle. He met five famous names, but no one had the qualifications.
"So, your compensation will most likely be in vain."
Ender sighed helplessly. He still had some understanding of the purpose of his expedition.
"This is troublesome."
Zhu Ming also began to think deeply. The place was scattered, and it would be troublesome to find the talker.
"its not right."
Zhu Ming was silent for a while, as if something sounded, he raised his head and looked at Ander: "Didn't you just say that there is an envoy following you on the ship?"
He remembered everything Ender said just now.
"They wanted to come here on their own, I just brought them here conveniently."
Ender, however, did not take these envoys to heart.
After all, he was just an envoy from one of the daimyo, and he could not represent the Japanese country.
"Forget it, we'll talk about it later."
Zhu Ming sighed. It was really tricky to pack it up like this.
There are a lot of silver mines in the Japanese country. It would be really greedy if you can't get them.
"It's getting late, I should go back."
After a few brief greetings, Zhu Ming looked at the sky, stood up, and walked towards the tent.
Although it was not a secret that Ender was one of his own, it would have a bad impact if others saw him.
Ande, a general, had just returned to Beijing. Before he could see the emperor, he met the emperor's grandson first. Whose troops did he lead?
"Princess of Japan?"
As soon as she walked out of the big tent, she saw that the Japanese princess had changed into a kimono, followed by several samurai wearing common clothes and carrying long swords at their waists.
"His Royal Highness."
The Japanese princess looked at Zhu Ming and bowed seriously, as if she had never had a dispute before.
"Are you here to meet with General Ander?"
Zhu Ming saw the purpose of the Japanese princess at a glance, and then took a look at the warriors behind her. They were not tall, but they were relatively strong and had some fighting ability.
"They don't have to follow, they can't get in."
He stretched out his hand and pointed at the samurai swords these men were wearing.
It seems that these people still don't understand the rules of Ming Dynasty.
The sword-faced saint can only be seen as a ghost.
"Thanks for the advice."
The Japanese princess nodded, and then turned to look at the warriors who were traveling with her.
"Everyone, please come back."
As soon as she spoke, the warriors became nervous: "Princess, what about your safety?"
After all, the princess is the daimyo's daughter, and their purpose is to ensure the princess's safety.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Compared to the nervous warriors, the Japanese princess looked calmer and just smiled at them.
"This is Daming."
Zhu Ming leaned casually on the tent, folded his arms, and looked at these warriors teasingly.
The Ming Dynasty is not as chaotic as their Warring States period, and they will not let a well-behaved princess get into trouble here.
However, this princess is quite courageous. No wonder she dares to follow the envoy to the Ming Dynasty.
"Although I know it's for safety, but..."
Zhu Ming looked at the Japanese princess again, and finally his eyes rested on her wide sleeves.
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the city.
Anyway, they will meet again soon.
Ander is one of his own, and Lao Zhu wants to give him a reward without calling him, which is not Lao Zhu's style.
The Japanese princess looked at Zhu Ming's back, and her hand in her sleeve tightly grasped the handle of the short knife.
"Please come back, everyone."
She gritted her teeth, took out the short knife, placed it in the hands of the fellow warriors, and nodded affirmatively towards them.
"My Lady Princess..."
The warriors wanted to say something more, but looking at the princess's firm eyes, they could only sigh helplessly and turn around to leave.
