"These are just these people, these are the ones. The young man had already told the Grand Marshal that these people are the guards of the business." Luo Chen quickly explained with a smile.

Regarding this explanation, Mao Wenlong just snorted coldly and did not continue to speak. He walked towards the Zhao family army surrounded by generals.

After all the companies were in their positions, they saw a young man shouting, and four companies walked towards Yunshan Trading Company, while the soldiers holding muskets were divided into two teams to cover the left and right. The formation of five hundred people was neat, and the sound of stepping was almost the same. Seeing such stairs, the onlookers of Pidao all twitched their eyelids, which was a performance that only elites could do.

"You are so scheming!" Mao Wenlong looked at the fortress's building and couldn't help but say coldly. Luo Chen just smiled and responded, as if he couldn't hear anything.

When the Zhao family soldiers entered the Yunshanxing house in the port, the large ships that used artillery to face the dock also began to anchor and turn. The managers on the ship negotiated with the shore, and the loading, unloading and handling began to accelerate.

Seeing this, Mao Wenlong no longer wanted to see it. Just as he was about to leave, a scream came from the unloading place, and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. Today, the sea storm was slightly stronger, and the pedal was unstable, and it was not rare to fall. Mao Wenlong glanced casually, but turned around. The straw bag was wrapped in a musket.

There are no Zhao Family Army-style muskets on Pi Island, but when the sea ship arrived, the Zhao Family soldiers who protected the ship were holding it. The firearm was seen by the officers and soldiers of Pi Island, and they were half despised and half curious. They felt that such a stupid family was not far away and had no power. After the Zhao Family Army soldiers received the approval of the leader of the team, they directly tested the firearms on the shore. There were also bird guns, fast guns and three-eyed guns on Pi Island. After the test shot, everyone in Pi Island knew that Xuzhou muskets were a military weapon.

At that time, Mao Wenlong proposed to buy it, and he didn't mention the price. Xuzhou asked Xuzhou to choose what Pidao could provide. They had been through the battle formation naturally knew the significance of this musket. However, Xuzhou did not sell it, saying that it was the first-class secret in Xuzhou and could not be sold. I never thought that when I was unloading today, I saw the long straw bags, and the quantity was no less than one hundred.

"Is this to be sold to Dongjiang Town?" Mao Wenlong's tone was a little excited. If it could be provided to Dongjiang Town, the garrison would be garrisoned.

Listening to Qi's question, Luo Chen coughed twice and said with a smile: "This is a spare product for the supplier's bank's guards. It is hanging alone, so you must always have more spare."

"You are stationed on Pi Island. Can't Dongjiang Town protect you from your safety? This is more than 300 muskets and two cannons. Who are you guarding against, or what other things are you thinking about?" Li Jiucheng, who is beside Mao Wenlong, asked in silence.

"How could you have other thoughts? It's just to guard against the Tartars and the Goryeo people. Our Xuzhou is used to supporting ourselves. Guizhen is always difficult, so why should we bother you?" Luo Chen, the manager of the business, just pretended that he couldn't understand, and just explained on his own.

His weak and lazy reaction made the generals of Dongjiang Town helpless and were determined to have an attack. But if you think about relying on the other party's trade supply, the anger subsided a little. Thinking about the five hundred elites entering the "fortress", there was not much left in the anger.

"Is this armor also a preparatory item?" Mao Wenlong asked again. He no longer looked at the Zhao family soldiers entering the business. He just stared at the ship unloading the goods. The straw bags wrapped in muskets were loaded onto the big truck and then transported to the business warehouse. Now, some half-person-high wooden box and bamboo cages were unloaded, and it made a clanging sound when it landed on the truck.

The generals of the Dongjiang Town of Pidao were familiar with this kind of packaging. The Zhao family ships docked a few times and once gave them ten sets of armor to Pidao. At that time, the entire Pidao was shocked. Mao Wenlong, Chen Jisheng and others saw the Zhao family's armor, which almost covered the vital points of the body. The iron armor that could block the knife, guns, and arrows were shot. They all thought that this was a treasure that could be passed on. These ten sets of armor even caused bad effects. Mao Wenlong and his subordinates thought that these ten sets of armor were too expensive, and they thought that Xuzhou had any conspiracy and ambitions, so they gave such important weapons of military power.

However, after the next few waves of ships arrived, this misunderstanding was eliminated in shock. The armor that came from home was standard in Xuzhou, and ordinary soldiers could wear it. This made the military and civilians of Dongjiang Town, Pidao have more imaginations about Xuzhou. Liao Town outside the pass was a semi-closed area, and most residents there remained here for their lives. A few knowledgeable people knew Xuzhou, but in their impression, Xuzhou was a remote place and could not have such strength and prosperity.

Some people guessed that Xuzhou was behind the maritime businessmen, and some people guessed that Xuzhou was actually an agent in Jiangnan. There were all kinds of speculations, but I realized that Xuzhou was definitely not a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. The current situation in the Ming Dynasty was much more complicated than what I thought.

Luo Chen knew that the atmosphere was a bit subtle, and the generals of the Dongjiang Town in Pidao had to ignore the thoughts and faces. He pondered there for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Shishou Mao has given Xuzhou a lot of convenience. The young one will be the master of the matter and give Mao Shuai ten sets of iron armor!"

Mao Wenlong said "Thank you" without a smile, and looked at the unloading site again. The generals around him all looked excited on their faces. With such a piece of iron armor on their body, one person can use it for five people, and ten sets of iron armor on one team. Cooperate with each other and killing 200 people is not a problem. This is a great enhancement to the combat power of Dongjiang Town.

Even though he was happy, after being excited, the generals of Dongjiang Town felt uncomfortable when they looked at the armor that was constantly unloading from the ship. The other party came here for more than 500 people, and everyone except the musket soldiers had armor, and there were also backups. There were tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians, and there were only less than twenty sets in total.

The only products were equipped with muskets and iron armor, spears, swords, suits and ammunition, as well as various goods that the generals of Dongjiang Town could not understand were unloaded and transported to Yunshan. These alone were almost ten ships. This time, half of the fleet's transportation capacity was used to transport more than 500 people from the Zhao family army and their supplies, and then various cargoes from Xuzhou, Jiangnan and foreign countries.

At this time, the laughter and joy rose. The laborers shouted about loading and unloading. Merchants and merchant representatives from all walks of life were just watching the goods on the dock. This caused a lot of trouble for loading and unloading, but they would rather give money to calm down than look first. In the distribution area of ​​this island, news about the price day and day is a big impact on the price. The real figure was to go to a tea shed, where naturally someone went to buy it and negotiated the bulk trade.

Even if he didn't go there to listen, Mao Wenlong and the people around him knew that various specialties such as Korean ginseng and fur were prepared in Tieshan County. The iron and agricultural tools and silk and cotton cloth were urgently needed there. Moreover, Mao Wenlong also vaguely knew that the goods brought by Korean merchants, in addition to Goryeo's own production, were related to the Jianzhou Jurchens and Japan. Mao Wenlong didn't care much about this. He always thought that if he could draw taxes in this trade, Dongjiang Town would definitely make a fortune, but if he thought about the cannons on the big ship and the five hundred elites, Mao Wenlong didn't think too deeply about it. It was already lucky that Pidao could participate in this business.

After seeing Pidao Soldiers Camp enter the business, Luo Chen said goodbye to him, but Mao Wenlong never left. He walked back depressedly until it was dark. The generals around him were also depressed. Thinking about his own situation, then look at how could Xuzhou, which looks like an overseas fairy mountain, be happy.

The arrival of the fleet is still of great benefit to Pi Island after all. Various supplies make Dongjiang Town more reserved, and can even be sent to Zhang Pan's troops who are under Jinzhou. The ships shipped Xuzhou soldiers will not be empty when they return. They use silver to buy the goods and population on Pi Island. Although the biggest demand here is food and military funds, military pay is also required to maintain it. Although the island cannot spend it at all, these silver can buy urgently needed goods from Goryeo.

The sergeant camp stationed on Yunshan trip collectively cleaned and prepared, and then practiced for half an hour, which surprised Dongjiang Town. Everyone was indeed very resistant to Xuzhou soldiers stationed in Pidao Port, but they knew that they could not be neglected. They had prepared manpower to clean them. There were so many refugees on the island, which was easy. They even dispatched hundreds of women. However, after seeing the sergeant camp's own work and practice, Dongjiang Town arranged a thousand soldiers to garrison near this business in the name of protecting the port.

At the beginning, Mao Wenlong thought that the 500 people from the Xuzhou army were led by Luo Chen. It was not until the fourth day that he learned that the person who led the team was named Zhao Song, who was a young man of about the same age as the soldiers. This surprised Mao Wenlong and the generals of Dongjiang Town. He could stand alone with such a camp. In the Ming Dynasty, they were all wealthy figures. Why couldn’t they be held in the brocade robe and jade belt? But everyone didn’t realize that the rules of Xuzhou were too strange.

The Korean merchants left with satisfaction. The quality of this Xuzhou cloth is not worse than that of Songjiang cloth. It is slightly lower in price, but the supply is very large. This not only allows them to meet the needs of the two nobles and middle-aged people in their country, but can even be sold to Japan or unknown to the Jurchens. This bulk cargo alone can make both parties rich. Therefore, in addition to spot transactions, this time, it is also agreed that the next cargo will be stingy with the Korean merchants and are even willing to pay deposits. When they know that the other party has a lot of population demand, they even proposed to supply young and strong men and women in Goryeo.

The merchants everywhere were also satisfied. Those who came to Pidao to do business are all risky and seek wealth. Many of the things they supply in Xuzhou are needed. And here they say it is a Daming enclave, but in fact there is no king's law, so everything is very convenient. When we go back this time, we have decided to come back next time, and we will bring our relatives and friends to bring more capital.
