Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 811
Kuwata Motoyo and several Japanese iron gunners, who were originally proud, were also very depressed when they saw the bullet holes in the target. As experts, they knew better about the huge gap between the two firearms.

The result of this competition is obvious, the Daming Fire Gun completely defeated the Japanese Iron Cannon.

No matter in terms of loading and firing speed, or in terms of accuracy, range and penetration, it is the big fire gun that has achieved a crushing and comprehensive victory.

After the three rounds of iron cannons were fired, only three of the fifteen projectiles hit the target, and none of them penetrated the wooden board. It can be seen that the killing effect of the iron cannons is very average.

In the same three rounds of shooting, six of the fifteen projectiles fired by the Daming Fire Gun hit the target, and all of them penetrated a three-inch-thick target. The enemy soldiers are wearing heavy armor, so long as they are hit by firecrackers, there is almost no chance of survival.

"Zheng Qijun, why can the firecrackers of the Ming Dynasty be fired without igniting the match? Are all the firecrackers brought by Zheng Qijun like this?"

Takahiro Maeya was the first to ask out the doubts in everyone's mind.

"Qian Yejun, the five hundred firecrackers brought by Zheng Qi this time are all carefully crafted by our military supervisors and skillful craftsmen. They are called flintlock firecrackers. They are fired with a spring steel wheel to ignite the gunpowder.

As far as I know, in today's world, only all members of our imperial army are equipped with such sharp weapons!Moreover, the new type of muskets used by our army is far more powerful than this kind of musket!
This time, I am thinking of my friendship with Guifan, so I plan to give it to Guifan for free!

As for the rest of the soldiers and armors, they are also extremely sharp, but I don't know if they can catch everyone's eyes?If you want to check them out one by one, then I will send someone to fetch the rest of the guns! "

Zheng Qi completely concealed the contempt in his eyes, and replied with a gentle smile on his face.

"What did Qilang say, Shang Guo is willing to give such a sharp weapon to my Hirado clan, and I, Hirado clan, will be grateful, so I don't have any other thoughts!
According to Qilang, this large amount of weapons was given to me by the Hirado clan from the upper kingdom?

In other words, do not need to pay silver to buy? "

After seeing the power of Daming firearms, and hearing that the officers and soldiers of Ming Dynasty used even more powerful muskets, Matsupan Jiro, who had been holding on to airs, immediately put down his posture, and talked with Zheng Qi with a smile in an amiable tone.

In the eyes of Matsupan Jiro, although Zheng Zhilong is the marquis of Daming, he is only a maritime merchant in essence. Without the help of the Japanese like them, how could the Zheng family grow stronger? Zheng Yiguan, who was born, was conferred a knighthood, which reflects from the side that the Ming Dynasty is nothing more than this.

And Zheng Qi is just the chief steward of the Zheng family, he is a famous name in Japan, he has a few retainers to negotiate with him, he will not lower his value to deal with a small person directly.

But the scene just now completely dispelled Matsupan Jiro's arrogance.

Years of experience and knowledge told him that Zheng Qi's words just now were not false.

According to common sense, the firearms and equipment of the Ming government army will indeed be far superior to the sharp weapons in front of us. That is to say, the strength of the Ming army is far superior to that of all Japanese troops. Of course, such thighs should be hugged tightly.

Since Zheng Qi represents the court of the Ming Dynasty, his status is not that of the Zheng family but an envoy of the Ming Dynasty, so what he is facing now is the envoy of the Ming Dynasty. In this way, it is reasonable to treat him as an equal.

Although Zheng Qi resolutely refused to recognize the identity of the envoy and only admitted that he was the steward of the Zheng family, Matsupan Jiro expressed his understanding.

After all, Japan is a country that the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty declared that he would not conquer it. Therefore, the Emperor and the court must not explicitly say that they want to overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate and establish a new shogunate. Daming is not a glorious thing.

"If it weren't for this level of scruple, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty might have sent troops to attack the shogunate just like he did with the Jiaozhi Kingdom.

Well, it must be so!

As long as I, the Hirado clan, have these excellent firearms and armor, among other things, at least in Kyushu Island, who would dare to underestimate me! "

Matsupan Jiro thought secretly.

"Your Excellency Jiro, the Hirado Clan and my Jinghaihou Mansion have known each other for many years, and have a deep friendship with each other, how can Zheng Qi speak out to deceive?

To be honest, apart from this batch of armaments, we will give them to your clan for free. In the future, if your clan needs them, our dynasty will sell all kinds of weapons to your clan at a very favorable price.

However, the premise of all this is that I hope to His Majesty the Emperor that Japan can establish a shogunate that is friendly to Ming Dynasty, and I also hope that your vassals will not disappoint His Majesty the Emperor!

Your Excellency Jiro and you are also people who have experienced big scenes. You should know that the two ends of the first mouse are a taboo in interpersonal communication!
Sometimes, the best ending can only be achieved by making the right choice, otherwise, it is very likely to cause trouble to the upper body!
The armaments of the Ming Dynasty can be given to nobles, but also to other Japanese daimyos. I believe that no matter who gives such sharp weapons, no one will refuse! "

Zheng Qi still smiled gently, but the following few words were to warn the decision makers of the Hirado clan present, don't think about eating the Ming Dynasty and the shogunate, trying not to offend both sides, that will definitely not end well .

Tagawa Yuhuang just told Matsupan Jiro that the Ming court was dissatisfied with the Tokugawa shogunate and wanted to support the Hirado clan against the shogunate, and finally set up a new pro-Ming shogunate, and that he was the ultimate object of support from the Ming court. How did Matsupan Jiro know that if he took the lead in confronting the Tokugawa shogunate, he would end up being the most trusted person at a low price.

The Japanese who have experienced the chaotic Warring States period have not yet had the concept of a country. For many famous names, the shogunate is actually the same as the dynasties in Chinese history.

There are dozens of big names in Japan, who doesn't think about the top seat?
Matsupan Jiro is no exception.

In the past, foreign daimyos like the Songpan family were often exploited by the Tokugawa shogunate. Although they wanted to resist, they had no choice but to submit the annual tribute obediently every year.

As strong as the Shimadzu family, they have to bow their heads, let alone the Songpan family.

Every year, the Songpan family is sent by the shogunate to receive an annual tribute of [-] shi of grain from the visiting envoys and mukos stationed in Kyushu Island. This is a precious material that can feed thousands of strong men. Can the Songpan family not bear their grudges?
"Don't worry Shichiro, I, the Hirado clan, are such villains!
As long as there is Shangguo's full support, the Songpan family will definitely become the vanguard of the fall!

I am going to write a book for a few daimyos who are familiar with me, and I strongly invite everyone to work together to overthrow the tyranny of the Tokugawa family and return the power to the emperor! "
