Chapter 104 Want to buy a gun?

"Where is the envoy of my Great Tomorrow Dynasty?"

"Take me to see the envoy of the Celestial Dynasty?"

A month later, Emperor Go-Daigo of the Southern Dynasty came in a hurry. As soon as he saw Zhu Di, he knelt down on the ground with a plop.

"The angels of the Kingdom of Heaven redeemed their sins, Xiao Wang is late."

"Xiao Wang galloped here on horseback as soon as he learned that the envoy from the Kingdom of Shang had come to our country. Two horses died of exhaustion on the way, and he asked the angel to make amends!"

When Emperor Go-Daigo said this, he put away his flattering expression, waved his hand behind him and said, "Bring it up."

As his words fell, a group of four were pressed in front of Zhu Di.

"These people are the ones who dared to resist the law and killed my envoys of Ming Dynasty. I escorted them together this time and handed them over to the angels."

"Good guy!"

Zhu Di looked at the people in front of him a little speechlessly. The youngest one was probably only fifteen or sixteen years old. Seven years ago, he wasn't even ten years old. What would he use to kill people?

Could it be that the emperor treats them as three-year-old children?
"I'm afraid they don't even remember the matter of killing my Ming envoy. After all, seven years have passed!" Tang He reminded.

Zhu Di pondered for a while and said, "Press these people down."

He wasn't going to kill people right away, at least he had to figure out the identities of these people first.

He always felt that the Empress Dowager might be hiding some sinister intentions in sending people to him.

Seeing that Zhu Di did not commit murder immediately, Emperor Go-Daigo was somewhat disappointed.

But soon a hypocritical smile appeared on his face again: "Shangguo Angel, now there is an internal war in our country, and the north is occupied by Ashikaga Takashi and a group of thieves. Xiao Wang heard about the mighty soldiers of Shangguo Angel on the way. , so Xiao Wang wants to implore the angels of the kingdom to send troops to destroy the bandits in the north and give Xiao Wang justice."

"How thick-skinned is this fucking face!"

"I beat you just now, you knelt down and cried and wanted me to help you beat the enemy?"

"And the most important thing is not to mention any benefits?"

Zhu Di felt that this old thing was insulting his IQ.

"Never interfering in the internal affairs of other countries is the principle that my Ming Dynasty adheres to."

Zhu Di spoke expressionlessly.

"However, if you want to win this war, I have a deal that I can make with you."

"What?" Emperor Go-Daigo asked expectantly.

As soon as Zhu Di waved his hand, a soldier immediately sent a shotgun to Emperor Go-Daigo.

"This is my Daming's sharp gun. It can kill the enemy with a single shot from 150 steps away. Seeing that the emperor is so sincerely attached to my Daming, we can sell it to you at a price." Zhu Di said with a smile .

These shotguns were mass-produced by the Bingzhan Bureau in recent years. After the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were flintlock guns that were more advanced than shotguns, and such things naturally became scrap iron.

Zhu Yuanzhang told him to use as much waste as possible.

"Really?" Emperor Go-Daigo's face showed ecstasy.

This gun is a divine tool. He already had a little understanding of these Daming people who landed before, and knew that they could be invincible with this kind of thing.

"Of course, 500 taels of silver a piece, the price is fair, no one can deceive you." Zhu Di said lightly.

Emperor Go-Daigo almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

"Angel of the Kingdom, this is too expensive!"

"Whether you like to buy it or not, if you don't buy it, I will sell him to the northerners. I think they should be very interested in this."

Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "Go away if you have nothing to do!"

Empress Go-Daigo flashed a trace of embarrassment in his heart. He felt that these people from Huaxia had changed. The previous emperor had clearly left behind experience. As long as they bowed enough to these Chinese people and said a few good words, they would maintain their status as a kingdom. Being given countless benefits like a fool. "

"But why is this newly built Daming different from the record!"

"The angel is wronged, Xiao Wang is willing!" Emperor Go Daigo suppressed the strange emotions in his heart, and bowed slowly again.

In fact, he has plenty of silver, and the Wa country has nothing else but a lot of gold and silver.

But these things can't be eaten or drunk, and if there are too many, they are worthless. In some villages in Wa country, no one even picks up the silver on the ground.

"Xiao Wang wants to buy a hundred first!" Emperor Go-Daigo said cautiously.

"Hehe, I know what your idea is, do you want to buy it back and imitate it?"

"This king tells you that this gun was developed and produced by Daming through untold hardships. Anyone who dares to imitate me will smash his dog's head. Don't think that I can't catch people. If you want to try your best, I won't let you go." Do you mind changing the emperor of Wa Kingdom!" A murderous intent flashed in Zhu Di's eyes.

"Xiao Wang swears to God, he never has such an idea!" Emperor Go-Daigo was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

This person doesn't look very old, but he looks like a killer!

"Very good!" Zhu Di nodded in satisfaction.

Soon 50 taels of silver were sent over, in exchange for a thousand shotguns.

Two months later, Takashi Ashikaga from the north, who suffered a great loss from the matchlock gun in the battle with the southern army, rushed to Nagasaki in person.

"Angel of the Kingdom, I came here this time to buy shotguns. Three thousand shotguns, 150 million taels of silver, I have brought over." Ashikaga Takashi is worthy of being a person who dared to rebel against the emperor. He acted quite straightforwardly without crying. After acting, he knelt down in front of Zhu Di respectfully and explained his intentions.

"Hehe, don't worry about this, you can see if you know these people?" Zhu Di waved his hand, and five or six people were led out by his subordinates.

Ashikaga Takashi's eyes popped, showing disbelief.

Among them is his beloved youngest son Ashikaga Ishuan.

Five months ago, his youngest son disappeared. He thought he was dead, but he didn't expect to be here with Mingren.

"Hehe, Emperor Go-Daigo gave this to me to execute criminals who offended Daming. I don't know how I have your son." Zhu Di smiled.

Ashikaga Takashi broke out in cold sweat in an instant.

"Angel, don't want to be deceived by that false emperor. This is definitely his conspiracy, trying to drive a wedge between my friendship with Shangguo."

Ashikaga Takashi broke out in a cold sweat.

How could he not know the power of these wise men, if he offended the wise men, then his Ashikaga family might be doomed forever.

"Empty talk has no proof, what about your sincerity?" Zhu Di said quietly.

"There is a mountain in the north of me called Iwami Yinshan, which is very convenient near the mouth of the sea."

"If Shangguo needs silver, I am willing to give the Iwami Silver Mountain to Shangguo in exchange for Shangguo's friendship."

Ashikaga Takashi is also a smart person, obviously he knows what Zhu Di wants most.

"Ruzi can be taught!"

Zhu Di and Tang He looked at each other and could see the smile in each other's eyes.

In fact, their battle plan included a plan to occupy this silver mountain, but now Ashikaga Takashi took the initiative to donate it on behalf of the northern regime, which is much more legitimate.

At least in a short period of time, the hatred value of the big and small forces in the country will not be accumulated too much.

Even with this role model, they may rush to send silver and gold mines to Zhu Di in order to obtain firearms.

After all, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese had limited control over the technology of refining silver, and there were not enough interests to drive them to dig these gold and silver mines. It might be more cost-effective to exchange firearms for Daming to compete for territory.

A month later, Tang He led the fleet to prepare for the return voyage.

He will only take away two naval warships that escorted the troop carrier this time, and the remaining navy and [-] army will be left to Zhu Di, allowing him to continue to run the country of Wa.

This cannot be accomplished overnight, and it will take at least ten years of hard work to completely bring Wa Kingdom into the territory of Ming Dynasty.

After several months of observation, Tang He felt that this young highness, who is only less than 20 years old this year, has enough ability to control the situation here.

He watched with his own eyes that he played with the power holders of the two regimes in the North and the South in applause.

Moreover, the present His Royal Highness King Jingjiang is the famous Emperor Yongle in the future, and he is not lacking in decisiveness. Even Zhu Yuanzhang dares to send him out with confidence, so Tang He has nothing to worry about.

"Your Highness, we will meet later!" Tang He stood at the bow of the boat and said with a smile on his face.

This trip to the Wa country was the easiest for him, and he basically did nothing, which can be called a public tour.

"Tang Shuai is careful all the way, I will treat you to a good meal when I go back after finishing the business of Wa Kingdom."

Similarly, during this trip to Japan, Zhu Di also felt [-]% happiness. Tang He's not taking power gave him enough room to play, and he remembered the goodness of this Marshal Tang in his heart.

"sure!"

The two exchanged pleasantries, and then the fleet slowly sailed out of Edo Port.

When they came, the fleet was full of soldiers and muskets, but now they are not returning empty-handed. Five million taels of silver, 500 taels of gold, and 80 jin of copper ore and sulfur are the things that Daming lacks the most. .

And this is only the first trip. According to Tang He and Zhu Di's estimates, the fleet will be able to travel every six months in the future, and the things that can be brought back every time will not be less than this time.

In Fengtian Temple.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had already received the news from the Japanese country, couldn't help laughing.

"The fourth child really didn't let us see it wrong. This kid has really done a good job in this matter."

"It seems that the conquest of the Wa Kingdom is only a matter of time. If Zhu Di stays there, it should take ten or twenty years to quietly turn the Wa Kingdom into a part of our Great Ming."

This time the attack on the Japanese pirates, even the Japanese pirates on the southeast coast were also solved.

The Japanese pirates problem that has plagued Ming Dynasty in the past will basically never reappear.

For Zhu Yuanzhang, this can be regarded as a heavy breath of bad breath.

"go!"

With a wave of his hand, Zhu Yuanzhang led Mao Xiang out in great strides.

The matter here is resolved, and it is time to go to the end of the Qing Dynasty.

Recently, the layout of Fujian has been almost completed. I heard that the gentry there are getting more and more jumpy, and even dare to privately organize the new army to cut off the trade channel with Guangdong. It seems that it is time for the people of Fujian to embrace the glory of Ming Dynasty.
