Daming: If I find a great-grandson, I will teach an emperor through the ages

Chapter 158 Hou Guishan was deceived and became lame

Chapter 158 Hou Guishan was deceived and became lame
What Zhu Di said was the voice of everyone present.

The scene caused by the explosion of the artillery just now was simply beyond their imagination!
Such terrifying power was actually caused by an artillery piece, which directly subverted their cognition!
The Ming Dynasty artillery they used in the past only fired an iron ball, relying on its impact to injure people or destroy cities.

And the explosion of Cao Wei's improved Thunder Cannon can produce such terrifying power that no one can even dream of it!
In other words, the magnificent scene of the artillery firing and explosion just now gave everyone a dreamlike and unreal feeling.

The same is true for Zhu Di, that's why he sighed.

If he hadn't felt the cold wind blowing on his body, Zhu Di would have even doubted whether he was in a dream.

Until this moment, all the soldiers present were still staring at the mushroom cloud rising higher and higher in the distance with their mouths wide open...

Zhu Di suddenly began to feel heartache.

Such a powerful artillery piece was wasted.

If it were on the battlefield, how many enemies could this gun destroy?

I shouldn't, I shouldn't, I shouldn't be so eager.

"Come here, bring this artillery back to me and keep it safe. Not a drop of rain can splash on it!" Zhu Di quickly ordered the soldiers beside him after he realized what he was doing.

When everyone returned to the Chinese army's main account again, Cao Wei began to talk about what he wanted to do this time, which was to sell the flintlock guns that had been eliminated by the Ming Dynasty to both the Northern and Southern Koreas.

"With the muskets, they should be able to fight more fiercely," Cao Wei said with a smile.

Zhu Di nodded slightly when he heard this.

"It's true. In the Southern Dynasties, Hou Guishan won several times thanks to the power of our army. His ambitions are getting bigger and bigger, and he can no longer bear it. Years ago, he was still collecting military expenditures on a large scale under his jurisdiction. If the muskets are sent here at this time, It’s like burning fire with oil!”

"If Houguishan is like this, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu of the Northern Dynasty must have suffered several defeats in succession, and he will only be more unwilling to accept it. I am afraid that he has been looking for opportunities to counterattack," Cao Wei analyzed.

"Now that we are giving him this opportunity, how can he endure it?"

After some discussion, Zhu Di sent someone to prepare a place for Cao Wei to rest early.

The next day,

After Cao Wei and Zhu Di discussed again, they decided to split into two groups and sell Daming flintlock guns to Kameyama and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu at the same time.

Zhu Di had dealt with Hou Guishan many times, and both sides were already familiar with each other, so Zhu Di went to the Southern Dynasty.

On the Ashikaga Yoshimitsu side, Cao Wei naturally had to take action in person.

The two of them each brought a large number of men and a hundred thousand flintlock muskets, and set off at the same time.

Zhu Di was followed by Dao Yan, and it took the group seven or eight days to arrive at the Yoshino Palace in Hougui Mountain.

Seeing these Ming people arriving again, the waiter hurried to report them.

After a long time, the waiter returned and took everyone into the palace on Hou Guishan's order.

Zhu Di brought more than 2000 people and nearly a hundred carriages. Each carriage had four or five boxes, but these people could only stop outside the palace gate.

Later, Zhu Di brought monk Dao Yan to Hougui Mountain alone.

After repeatedly suffering losses at the hands of Zhu Di and losing millions of silver, Hou Guishan no longer looked as good as before when he saw Zhu Di again.

"Your Majesty, the envoy has arrived, but I'm sorry that I missed you so much. I hope you'll forgive me." Hou Guishan's tone was very stiff.

Zhu Di didn't take it seriously at all, raised the corner of his mouth and said:

"How was your visit, Lord Xicheng? Why does he look so ugly?"

"The envoy's words are serious. It's just that there are many things to do, and I feel a little tired."

"Then Lord Xicheng must take care of his health," Zhu Di's face instantly became serious, and it sounded like what he said.

Then he asked, "I wonder why Lord Xicheng is worried about something?"

Hou Guishan glanced at him angrily and did not answer.

Why else?
Zhu Di, do you really have no idea?
"Could it be that the envoy came here in person today just to see my subordinates' jokes?"

Zhu Di shook his head,

"Of course not. Since I came to your country, King Xicheng has helped me many times. I have always remembered it in my heart. In my opinion, King Xicheng is an ally of my Ming Dynasty. All the previous The unpleasantness may be due to some misunderstandings.”

"Misunderstanding?" Hou Guishan snorted.

Once it was a misunderstanding but it was said to be over, Zhu Di used his power several times to demand nearly 200 million silver from him!Just sit on his head and shit!
Can this be called a misunderstanding?
Zhu Di had already anticipated Hou Guishan's reaction. After smiling slightly, he waved his hand for Dao Yan to step forward and explain to Hou Guishan.

Seeing Daoyan coming forward, Guishan became even more fearful.

This monk has been advising Zhu Di all the time. The reason why he lost millions of silver is because of his great efforts. He is really more difficult to deal with than Zhu Di!
Daoyan squinted his eyes and bowed to Houguishan in an extremely polite manner.

"Master Xicheng, this poor monk is polite."

Hou Guishan looked at him coldly and said coldly:
"Why don't you tell me what you want to do when you come here, sir? There's no need to go round and round. But this time, I'm going to start making ugly remarks. If I ask for more money, I won't get a cent!"

The clay figurine is still angry, not to mention Hou Guishan, the leader of the Japanese Kingdom and the Southern Dynasties. This time he decided to fight to the end!

"Princess Xicheng has misunderstood. I came to borrow money from him several times before, but I couldn't help it because I was in a foreign land."

Houguishan almost laughed out loud at Daoyan's shamelessness.

"Then what if the Ming army on the front line doesn't fight with due diligence?"

"If you are outside, your orders will not be taken care of. Lord Xicheng should understand this. My Highness is guarding Shijianshan Lingtai and there is no good way."

"When Lord Xicheng unifies Japan and Qin Shan returns to the army, His Highness will definitely punish him severely!"

Speaking of this, Hou Guishan immediately gritted his teeth and said through gritted teeth,

"Master Daoyan said it so lightly! Your Ming Dynasty's tens of thousands of cavalry withdraw at the most critical moment of the war every time. How do you expect me to unify Japan?"

Dao Yan waved his hands hurriedly,

"Prince Xicheng, please be patient. My Highness is aware of the hardships faced by Prince Xicheng. In addition, he is grateful for the many times that Prince Xicheng has helped him. Therefore, he sent a message back to the Ming Dynasty a few months ago to request me, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty comes to our aid.”

"Then what?" Hou Guishan still had a cold face.

"My Majesty the Ming Dynasty was deeply moved when he heard what Lord Xicheng did, so he chose to send one hundred thousand flintlock guns from the Ming Dynasty and some ammunition to support the great cause of Lord Xicheng."

"Just yesterday, my Highness received the envoy, and the [-] flintlock guns arrived at the Japanese Kingdom. Today, my Highness hurriedly sent them to the Lord Xicheng..."

When Hou Guishan heard this, he was completely stunned!

He also began to wonder if he was dreaming.

Have these Ming people changed their gender?

How to help yourself like this?

One hundred thousand flintlock muskets?

You must know that his entire Southern Dynasty army only had a few thousand muskets!

Moreover, Daming also sent some ammunition...

This……

Hou Guishan's eyebrows almost flew to the top of his head with his hair tied in a bun. He looked at Dao Yan in disbelief and then at Zhu Di.He suspected that Daoyan was joking with him, but Zhu Di sat aside, looking upright, and it didn't look like he was trying to amuse him.

Is it true? !

Before Hou Guishan could turn his head, he heard Dao Yan let out a long sigh,
"Alas! I just didn't expect that my Highness, with such good intentions, would be treated like a donkey when he came in front of Lord Xicheng!"

Zhu Di also spoke up at the right time,

"Since Lord Xicheng doesn't welcome us so much, then we can just go back to where we came from. Master, let's go."

said,

Zhu Di and Dao Yan were about to turn around and leave.

Hou Guishan had no time to think deeply, so he quickly stood up and called the two of them to stop.

"Your Majesty, please stay!"

Zhu Di turned around and looked at him doubtfully.

"Is there something wrong with Lord Xicheng?"

Hou Guishan looked troubled, hesitating whether he should bow to Zhu Di again.

He did not see the flintlock gun Zhu Di mentioned, but the waiter did say when he reported earlier that Zhu Di brought many carriages and boxes.

Although I don’t believe that Zhu Di would suddenly have such good intentions, what if those boxes are really Ming Dynasty’s flintlock guns?
There was a war between heaven and man in Houguishan's heart. Unfortunately, Zhu Di came suddenly and Junichiro Koizumi was not with him, so the two could not make a decision after discussing it.

Just when Zhu Di was getting impatient with waiting, Hou Guishan finally gritted his teeth and lowered his head.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. It's just that I was not polite enough, which made Your Majesty laugh." Hou Guishan forced a smile and said to the two of them.

Zhu Di waved his hand, "This is a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. Lord Xicheng doesn't need to worry about it."

"Yes, yes, your Majesty is so broad-minded, I really put my subordinates to shame!"

"Come here, serve tea to His Highness King Yan and Master Dao Yan."

Hou Guishan shouted, and a servant brought chairs to Zhu Di and made a pot of hot tea.

Zhu Di didn't look expressionless. He picked up the tea bowl and just smelled it, then put it down again.

Low-grade goods...

At this time, Hou Guishan didn't blame Zhu Di for not giving him face, and his smile never disappeared.

"Your Highness King Yan, what Master Daoyan just said about the one hundred thousand flintlock guns... is it true?"

Zhu Di glanced at him sideways, "Why, Lord Xicheng thinks that with my status as king, do you still need to use a mere hundred thousand muskets?"

"Don't dare!" Regret Mountain waved his hand quickly,

"It's all because these [-] muskets are too important to me. I have to ask clearly. Your Highness, King Yan, is not to blame."

"My king's men are outside your palace at this moment. Lord Xicheng will know it at a glance."

When Hou Guishan heard this, he jumped up.

"In that case, please trouble His Highness King Yan to go over with me and have a look."

At this time, Hou Guishan's posture was at its lowest again, just like when he first saw Zhu Di, there was even a hint of pleading in his eyes.

He was only afraid that Zhu Di would be unhappy with his attitude just now and not give him the [-] fire guns.

Fortunately, Zhu Di didn't look angry. After nodding, he stood up and followed Guishan outside the palace gate.

"Open the box and let Lord Xicheng check it," Zhu Di ordered the accompanying soldiers.

The soldiers moved very quickly and opened all the boxes in just a few breaths.

Houguishan stepped forward eagerly to check.
Sure enough, there were rows of firecrackers in the box, and they all seemed to be in good condition!
Hou Guishan picked up one and examined it carefully. He found that these fire blunderbuss were much finer than those made by his Japanese craftsmen. They were really good things!

But just in case, Hou Guishan still asked Zhu Di,
"Your Highness King Yan, can I give it a try?"

Zhu Di did everything he could and even asked the accompanying soldiers to reload Houguishan.

The soldier took the gunpowder in Hou Guishan's hand, poured gunpowder into the muzzle, and then pressed it with a special wooden stick. Finally, he stuffed an iron bead into it and pressed it tightly with some force. Passed it to Houguishan.

Hou Guishan waved his hand, indicating to the soldiers to fire for him.

The soldier looked at Zhu Di. After the latter nodded, the soldier raised his gun, aimed at a tree not far away, and pulled the trigger.

"Oh!"

In the blink of an eye, an iron bead was embedded in the tree trunk.

After seeing this, Hou Guishan finally felt relieved, and then checked all the boxes one by one to make sure that they were all filled with firecrackers.

After reading it, Houguishan became very happy!

With these [-] flintlock guns, he will surely defeat Ashikaga Yoshimitsu!
Unification of Japan seems to be really not far away!

The most important thing is that Zhu Di gave him a big deal like [-] fire guns.

Hou Guishan's heart, liver and lungs were trembling with excitement!
Hou Guishan returned to Zhu Di with a face full of joy, knelt deeply in front of Zhu Di, and performed the highest etiquette of the Japanese country.

"I would like to thank His Highness King Yan!"

"His Royal Highness, King Yan, has done his best to repay you one day for his great kindness!"

Zhu Di pretended to be surprised and helped him up.
"Ah, Lord Xicheng, what are you doing? Get up, get up."

Hou Guishan was still mumbling something about His Highness King Yan's great kindness and virtue.

Zhu Di waved his hand and said with a smile:
"Master Xicheng, there is no need to be so polite. You have helped me a lot. I am just reciprocating courtesy."

Hou Guishan nodded repeatedly, but what Zhu Di said next made him dumbfounded.

"Since Lord Xicheng has seen the fire gun and there is no problem with it, let's give him the money. The cost of a fire gun is seven silver, and one hundred thousand is a total of 70 silver."

The smile on Hou Guishan's face froze.

give money?

Wasn't this gun given to him by Zhu Di?
The total amount of material money I gave to Zhu Di was more than 70!
Looking at Hou Guishan's stunned expression, Zhu Di said:
"Master Xicheng doesn't think that these [-] fire guns are given away for nothing, right?"

"Even if I have this intention, my father will not allow it!"

"One hundred thousand fire blunderbuss, even if two kill one person, it is still a weapon that can instantly wipe out an army of [-] people. How can such an important thing be given away for nothing?"

Only then did Hou Guishan realize that he had been tricked by Zhu Di again!

But now Houguishan has no time to be angry, and instead thinks about another more critical issue.

Zhu Di delivered [-] fire guns to his door. Should he want it or not?
One hundred thousand muskets!Could it be that I could still refuse?
As Zhu Di said, these [-] fire blunderbuss can be used to destroy tens of thousands of troops in an instant!
After Guishan wanted these [-] fire blunderbuss, his eyes almost turned red.

But Zhu Di turned around and asked him for 70 silver. This operation almost made Hou Guishan vomit blood!
If I give away 70 silver, the finances of the DPRK and China will suddenly bottom out again!
