"Sister is indeed straightforward. We Japanese love doing business with people like her."
"These Japanese, I only need to have the Emperor issue an imperial edict, and 500,000 people can be prepared within a month."
Ji Yanran frowned: "Transporting 500,000 Japanese people is no small matter."
We need to prepare a large number of cargo ships.
Moreover, these ships have to dock in Qingzhou, and from there they will go straight to the capital," Ji Yanran smiled slightly, "and the Japanese will likely die from the unfamiliar environment."
To be on the safe side, sister, you should prepare at least 500,000 young and able-bodied men from Japan.
“No problem, I’ll do whatever you say, sister. I just hope you can give me a good price. After all, it’s not easy for us to come all this way from overseas.”
“No problem,” Ji Yanran held up two fingers. “In the Great Xia Dynasty, the most valuable thing was the Kunlun slaves, who were sold by the Persians.”
Secondly, there are the women from the Rakshasa Kingdom.
You Japanese are short and less capable.
Sakuya frowned upon hearing this.
"But don't worry, little sister, I'll charge you according to the prices in the Rakshasa Kingdom. How about that?"
"Okay, my sister really cares about me."
...
The capital city, Huixianlou Hotel.
In the room, Ōyama Tsumi was wiping a samurai sword—the Kusanagi sword—with a white cloth.
"General, Miss Lan Fenghuang has arrived."
"Bring her in." Oyama Tsumi picked up a jug of sake and took a big gulp.
puff……
Oyama Tsumi sprayed a mouthful of shochu onto the Kusanagi sword, and the room quickly filled with the smell of shochu.
The sake flowed rapidly down the Kusanagi sword, leaving not a single drop on it.
"A fine knife... indeed a fine knife."
Jiujiu Intelligent led Lan Fenghuang into Dashan Jinjian's room: "General, Miss Lan Fenghuang has arrived."
Oyama Tsumi nodded, signaling Hisahito to leave. He continued to spray shochu onto the Kusanagi sword, mouthful after mouthful.
After the Kusanagi sword was thoroughly cleaned with shochu, Oyama Tsumi finally raised his head.
“Miss Lan Fenghuang, please sit down.” Oyama Tsumi knelt on the floor.
"General Dashan, I have long admired your name. It is a great honor to meet you today."
"The Blue Phoenix girl is also like the people of Daxia, enjoying these useless pleasantries." Oyama Tsumi slowly sheathed the Kusanagi sword.
"I'm seeking your assistance primarily for cooperation."
"How to cooperate, and what to cooperate on."
Da Shan Jin Jian pointed out the window: "The Great Xia Dynasty has vast, fertile lands and prosperous people. This land is a treasure trove of natural beauty. Don't you people from the Southern Frontier drool over it?"
Lan Fenghuang: "Of course! Why should we, the people of Southern Xinjiang, live in the Lingnan region, a land of dense jungles, wild beasts, poisonous snakes and ferocious animals, and barren land?"
"How could we not be envious when we see this fertile land stretching for thousands of miles?"
"We from Japan want to cooperate with your southern border regions. You have ferocious beasts, poisonous smoke, and Gu worms..."
"And you?" Lan Fenghuang asked in return.
“We have 500,000 warriors who are ready to swear allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor at any time. We also have 10,000 elusive ninjas,” said Oyama Tsuki.
“After we take over the Great Xia Dynasty, we’ll split it up five to five. What do you think?”
Blue Phoenix: "It's good, but I can't make the decision myself. I have to report this matter to our tribe's chief."
Oyama Tsumi nodded: "That's for sure. I hope Miss Lan Fenghuang can convey our sincerity to your leader as soon as possible."
After saying that, Oyama Tsumi clapped his hands and said, "Someone, bring us the gifts we prepared for Miss Lan Fenghuang."
"Hi..."
Soon, a Japanese woman dressed in the clothes of the Great Xia Dynasty walked over carrying a wooden tray.
A stack of silver notes lay on a wooden tray.
Oyama Tsumi picked up the stack of silver notes and placed them in front of Lan Fenghuang: "This is two million taels of silver notes. Of them, five hundred thousand taels are for the young lady, and the rest are for the Miao chieftain."
"If we join forces to take over the Great Xia Dynasty, I will offer the girl even more benefits."
Lan Fenghuang picked up the thick stack of silver notes. "Since that's the case, then thank you very much."
"You're welcome." Oyama Tsumi knelt there, picked up a small sake pot, and poured two cups of sake.
"Young lady, drink this glass and wish us a pleasant cooperation."
The two wine glasses gently clinked together.
…………
Blue Phoenix withdrew.
Shenwu walked in and knelt down in front of Daiyamazumi.
"General, I have found out that Jiang Tian's troops are equipped with powerful Franconian cannons."
"If we want to win the war against the Great Xia Dynasty, we must master the technology of this Franco cannon."
Jinmu was one of the most capable men under Oyama Tsumi, and also one of his retainers.
"I heard that once this Franco cannon is fired, the men and horses hundreds of steps ahead will be blown to pieces."
Shenwu nodded: "Recently, Jiang Tian has begun to build the Shenji Battalion, and Bai Qi is in charge of it."
It is said that each of them was equipped with a musket, and there was one breech-loading cannon for every hundred men.
"How many people are in the Shenji Battalion?"
"Initially, there were 20,000 men. I heard they plan to expand the Shenji Battalion to 100,000."
Upon hearing this, Oyama Tsumi frowned.
"Our ninjas must strike immediately. Whatever the Great Xia people have, we must have too."
"This needs to be done as soon as possible."
"Our princess, Sakuya-hime, has already contacted Ji Yanran of the Tianxia Society and asked them to send 500,000 soldiers to us."
"With the capabilities of the World Society, they can transport these 500,000 people to Qingzhou within a month. We need to quickly arm these 500,000 people, and they will fight their way from Qingzhou."
“Hi…” Shenwu quickly said.
"We went straight to their cannon-making site to find out where they made these muskets and cannons."
"Their weapons and equipment are all manufactured in the capital."
"Shinmu, I'll leave this to you. Kidnap their people and make them forge weapons for us." Oyama Tsumi stood up. "I'm going to Qingzhou. I heard that Jiang Tian ordered the Xiongnu Chanyu to attack Qingzhou. They're fighting each other. We, the Eastern Ying, can reap the benefits."
"Hi..."
…………
The military factory in the west of the city.
Song Yingxing led five hundred apprentices.
They are working day and night to forge weapons.
Rows upon rows of newly made muskets were neatly arranged.
These muskets gleamed and looked imposing.
In addition to producing a large number of Franconian cannons, the arsenal also manufactured a large number of red-coated cannons.
These red-coated cannons were all modified, with a longer range and greater power, far exceeding that of Napoleon's cannons.
