Ma Gui let out a few Spanish soldiers and boarded a small boat with a hundred materials, because he found that only one soldier could not cross the long coastline and return to the Zhuangyuan Bridge.

After all, it is tens of thousands of miles away, and you have to have a sailboat and carry enough food for a month, so you can't let him freeze to death... This is so troublesome that Magui doesn't want to worry about him.

But the newly acquired younger brother, Guanxi, could not just be killed by Lutijie in three punches. Not only were the enslaved tribes alive, but the dead had to be compensated by the Spaniards. The key was that the Emperor's Ming Banner had to be returned.

Even the matter of the stolen Huangming Banner cannot be silently passed.

Before the people were released, two more baggage fleets arrived safely at Majiagang. In the seven days after the people were released, the goods unloaded from the baggage ship almost filled the coast and could not even move them.

The weather was not good either. The snowflakes with the big fingernails did not stop for half a month. The four emergency trests were not enough, so the goods had to be paddled to the shore with small boats.

There are too many ships. Each of these baggage ships has more than five large and four hundred materials, and the load of the four hundred materials is more than 120,000 kilograms. These fleets set sail from Dagu, Tianjin every other day, and they are also piled up here.

In fact, the full load of four hundred sea ships is around 160,000 kilograms, but no one dares to carry such heavy loads, especially those of such sea routes that merchants have never walked.

The cargo was a bit better. The two-month voyage allowed them to carry no easy deterioration in the preparation of the baggage, but the huge number of livestock still made the people in Majiagang happy and worried.

What I am happy about is that they have horses, chickens, sheep, and cows to help with their work. What I am worried about is that they are afraid that these livestock will not survive this winter.

All kinds of animals ran around, and even though the animals transported here had died 20% of them had been floating on the sea, the number was still so large that Majiagang could not bear it.

It’s true that no one of the merchant crew members was sad when Liujia died. When they were approaching the port, they all ate red and gave the Majiagang flag army cured meat. Some water husbands even put on leather coats wrapped on the flag army, and said with a smile that they made it on the road.

There is no way, it’s okay to eat it. Anyway, the frozen animals will be broken even if they don’t eat it for more than a month. However, these skins and feathers are all military funds. They can wear them on the road to keep warm, but they can’t take them away.

One problem after another hit Majiagang. First, there were not enough horse pens and chicken cages used to raise livestock, and followed by houses that did not accommodate so many people.

All barracks, including Magui and Majin's houses and hunting houses in the woodland, were converted into shops, and the most common houses even accommodated more than a dozen people, which was not enough.

The helpless sailors and merchants never expected that even if they arrived at Majiagang, they would still have to spend their days on the swaying boat.

Fortunately, they still had enough bricks and wood, and the barracks with fireplaces were quickly built - the fireplaces were derived from the complaints of Spanish soldiers.

There were also fireplaces in the Qin Dynasty in ancient times because they could effectively improve the disadvantages of heating braziers and fire pits. However, with the firewall, fireplaces no longer appeared.

Because the fire wall is more practical, although building a house is a little harder, it can be connected to the outdoor stove without wasting charcoal.

But they are not short of wood for burning fires now. Fireplaces are more brick-free than fire walls. They have many houses to build. I heard Fu Yuan say that Chen Mu still has nearly 10,000 people floating on the sea, and the head is too big.

The entire Majiagang is in full swing, with bricks and bricks burning and houses building. No one can be idle, even the Spanish are called out to work.

The biggest feeling of these foreign visitors was that Ma Gui sent away the person who had previously delivered the message too early.

At that time, there were only more than 30 large ships in Majiagang, but only four were equipped with cannons, which seemed nothing shocking. After all, in the inherent impression of the Spaniards, they knew very well that the Ming Empire was a distant power.

But when the Spanish soldiers who conveyed the message left Majiagang, they realized that the Ming army's material transportation had just begun. In just a few days, the Ming Dynasty ships pouring into Majiagang quickly exceeded 100, and continued to increase at a rate of more than 20 per 3 days.

Moreover, they heard the Ming general named Fu Yuan be proud and complaining to them, saying that they seemed to have a fleet of ships to trek, and they could no longer know how many ships the Ming Empire had dispatched to transport supplies.

There are countless ships of more than 100 tons that have covered the sea surface. The sea ships preparing to unload seem to be lined up until their eyesight is exhausted, and even if they are working hard every day, they still cannot see the end.

Gunpowder alone, 100 kilograms of wooden barrels, which were transported by them alone, and there were more than one hundred barrels of saltpeter and sulfur.

Fu Yuan and Magui were not prepared for these Spanish soldiers because they found that even if they returned the weapons to them, they would not run away. They were delicious food and drink in Majiagang every day. Except for when they were tired of working, they asked Mingjun for wine to drink, this was a free labor force.

Moreover, their attitude is quite positive. If they do not regard themselves as prisoners, they will naturally not escape... Who would escape from the camp of their own allies?

I don’t even dare to do bad things, so I’m obedient.

In his spare time, the Spanish captain on the ship gave Fu Yuan the remaining tobacco on his body and asked in a low voice: "General Fu, will your country cast silver coins and artillery?"

The captain was already very familiar with Fu Yuan. His name was Lucas, but Fu Yuan prefers transliteration rather than transliteration. Because his surname was Tyre, Fu Yuan named this Spanish captain with a large and thick beard with a large beard and North African descent.

Fu Yuan was surprised by the question of the Guangming. For the sake of the well-preserved bag of tobacco, Fu Yuan rubbed his hands and said, "You have something to say."

"In my country, there is a place called the Netherlands, where half of Spain's income comes from, and only the merchants who can cast iron cannons."

Fu Yuan lit his pipe and nodded slowly, thinking that this was a bit like the combination of Jiangnan and Guangdong, but he didn't think much about it. Brother Zhaoming looked at his kerosene lighter with his eyes in his mouth, and reminded him with his pipe in his mouth: "You continue."

"Oh, in the past, the royal family transported silver worth between 800,000 and 1.2 million Ducats to the Netherlands every year from the Governor of Peru to the Netherlands, and the profit to the merchants was fifteen percent."

The words "800,000 Dukat" and "15%" were penetrated into Fu Yuan's ears and converted them automatically as they reached the brain. Fu Guerrilla's eyes rolled around and said, "One or half of the 40 to 600,000 taels of silver? This profit is too high."

"If conditions permit, the Netherlands will supply cannons and gunpowder to Spain... But since the Netherlands rebelled ten years ago, the annual profit of rolling silver coins increased to 30% but still could not provide enough cannons and gunpowder. They were always stolen by the rebels, and the troops in the south were re-equipped with crossbows."

Fu Yuan blinked, and he caught the key to the problem and said, "Apart from Ni and the Netherlands, there is no place to build cannons?"

"Yes, we can build splicing cannons, which are what you call Franchise, but you can't cast guns, you can only cast bronze cannons like bells. But bronze cannons are too expensive; in the past, we could buy guns from the Netherlands, and later from Portugal, but then the casting cannons in Macau were locked up by your general."

"The whole world, only you can, oh no, the English could cast iron cannons thirty years ago; the Netherlands and the English could also trade with cast iron cannons, the Netherlands merchants used gold coins to control Sweden, and Sweden would also cast iron cannons, and we can only trade iron cannons from you countries."

This is amazing news!

Fu Yuan could even hear his heart pounding in his ears. He was ecstatic. The thief's temperament suddenly crawled onto his face, and his tongue pursed his lips and showed a mouthful of white teeth.

The atmosphere suddenly came Chen Mu, Fu Yuan said: "And in these countries, only the Ming Empire is the good brother of Spain?"

Good brother?

What are you talking about? Who pressed our invincible legion to the ground a few years ago and beaten it up?

Te Guangming took a deep breath and nodded, "I saw that you have a lot of gunpowder and wanted to tell the Governor after you go back, but he was worried that General Fu would think I would leak the secret, so..."

"Chen Shuai is coming soon. I will tell him the news first. I think you can do what you want."

Note: The first whole cast iron cannon in Europe was born in the UK in the 1640s. Spain had the first whole cast iron cannon in 1620, and had previously relied on foreign or the Netherlands supply.

As for Portugal, the idea was much simpler. They were directly looking for Chinese cannonmakers. It was recorded in the "Monthus Book" of the Lisbon National Archives.
