A few days later, Harano received the official letter sent urgently by Ah Man via a small early boat.
In the letter, Ah Man made an exorbitant request, directly asking New Wanjin for twenty sets of contemporary armor and one hundred sets of chest armor as equipped by the Wanjin Army, as well as over a thousand long sabers, over a thousand long spear heads, five hundred strong bows, and more than two hundred short-handled iron cannons.
In addition, she wanted matching military uniforms, boots, and raincoats, as well as gunpowder and provisions. She also stated that once the supplies arrived, she would arrange for some Ainu people to go to New Wanjin Port to sign the "Wanxia Friendship and Trade Agreement," ensuring New Wanjin would not incur a loss.
