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

Chapter 160 Cao Wei: 100!No bargaining!

As soon as Ashikaga Yoshimitsu finished speaking, the eyes of the soldiers beside him became sharp, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little depressed.

At this time, Cao Wei and others were in the military camp of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and the Northern Dynasty. There were at least 20 Northern Dynasty troops stationed here.

However, Cao Wei only brought five thousand Ming soldiers. If there was a slight mistake, Cao Wei and the others might never be able to get out again. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are in a dragon's pool and a tiger's den.

Seeing the reaction of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and the Northern Dynasty army, Ma Kazu, who was following Cao Wei, couldn't help but become nervous. The soldiers behind him also tightened their weapons, and the atmosphere at the scene became even more tense!
Unexpectedly, Cao Wei just laughed softly as if he heard a joke.

"Hehehehe..."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu became even more furious when he heard Cao Wei's laughter.

"Are you really not afraid of death?"

"Afraid! Of course I'm afraid. Only madmen in this world are not afraid of death," Cao Wei admitted without hesitation.

"It's just that I've heard about General Adachi's name for a long time, but when I saw it today, I couldn't hold my breath. That's all."

"Of course you can kill us all, but the [-] muskets I brought will not reach the hands of your Northern Dynasty army."

"Furthermore, if you directly kill us like this, do you think that His Majesty, the Ming Dynasty, will easily spare you when he learns about this?"

"General..." Gokomatsu, who was beside Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, wanted to exhort him, but was interrupted by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's wave of his hand.

Although Gokomatsu was nominally the emperor of the Northern Dynasty, he was nothing more than a puppet in the Adachi shogunate group.

After staring at Cao Wei for a long time, he found that there was really no fear on his face. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu suppressed the anger in his heart and said:
"You are very brave. You are different from the Ming people I have seen. What is your name?"

"Cao Wei."

"What is your position in Ming Dynasty?" Ashikaga Yoshimitsu asked again.

He had met only a few people from the Ming Dynasty, but the one who impressed him the most was Zhang Zicheng, who had fled to Japan for refuge.

At first, after Zhang Zicheng inquired about the detailed information of the Northern and Southern Dynasties of Japan, he immediately took refuge with the more powerful Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

But Ashikaga Yoshimitsu looked down upon Zhang Zicheng, a villain who only talked about flattery, so he beat him up and threw him out.

Zhang Zicheng had no choice but to switch to Houguishan...

If you compare Cao Wei and Zhang Zicheng together, it will definitely be a judgment call!
Coupled with the fact that one hundred thousand muskets were involved, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu also did not dare to take it lightly and wanted to find out the details of Cao Wei.

"It's just an ordinary envoy sent by His Majesty the Ming Emperor. There is nothing special about it," Cao Wei's answer was also flawless.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu nodded, but his expression was still very cold.

That good-for-nothing Goguishan couldn't last much longer in his hands, but he could unify Japan.

But it was because these Ming people suddenly came to aid Houguishan's Southern Dynasty army that his Northern Dynasty army was repeatedly defeated!

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's hatred for the Ming Dynasty had already surpassed that of his mortal enemy Go Kameyama.

Now when I see Cao Wei, a Ming Dynasty man, how can I have a good face if I am already full?

Ever since Cao Wei entered the barracks of the Northern Dynasty Army in Nagano, Goguishan had wanted to take action directly no less than ten times and ordered the elimination of these hateful Ming people.

But when he thought of the [-] firecrackers brought by Cao Wei, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu had to calm down.

At this time, the fighting between the Northern and Southern Dynasties of Japan was at a fever pitch, but due to some reasons, a stable and delicate situation was maintained.

Not only did Go Kameyama want to use the power of the Ming Dynasty to defeat Ashikaga Yoshimitsu in one fell swoop, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu also wanted to find an opportunity to end this war!

The [-] firecrackers brought by Cao Wei are also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Ashikaga Yoshimitsu!

As long as he has these [-] fire guns, he will definitely be able to lead the elite army of the Northern Dynasty to defeat the Yoshino Palace in Kameyama!

But what Ashikaga Yoshimitsu couldn't figure out was that the Ming Dynasty people had been helping Goguishan before, so why did they come to him now with a hundred thousand firecrackers?
As his mind was spinning, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu asked,
"In the past two years, I have been defeated repeatedly by Hou Guishan. The reason is because you, the Ming Dynasty, have been obstructing me and always aiding Hou Guishan!"

"But why are you coming to see me again at this time?"

Cao Wei had already expected this question from Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

After all, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu controlled the entire Northern Dynasty shogunate group and was able to defeat the Southern Dynasty army of Go Kameyama.

This shows that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is actually a very capable person. If he did not ask this obvious doubt, Cao Wei would feel abnormal.

Cao Wei sighed, and then began to tell the story he had made up a long time ago.

"Well, it's a long story. General Adachi is a smart man, so I won't hide it."

"Although Zhu Di, the King of Yan who helped the Southern Dynasty, and I are both from the Ming Dynasty, we have different interests."

"Different interests? What does this mean?" Ashikaga Yoshimitsu frowned and asked.

"Four years ago, I, the Prince of the Ming Dynasty, died. Since then, the position of Crown Prince has been vacant. I, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, deliberately selected from other princes to be the Crown Prince. The King of Yan, Zhu Di, is one of the more capable contenders. …”

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu listened and nodded slowly.

He also knew the news of the death of Ming Prince Zhu Biao in the 25th year of Hongwu, because at that time the Ming Dynasty had not yet established a navy to open the sea, and the Japanese pirates who went to the Ming border naturally had Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

However, after the Ming Dynasty opened the sea and established a navy, Japanese pirates would only die if they went to the Ming Dynasty. Gradually, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu no longer sent Japanese pirates to the sea. What happened to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu in the Ming Dynasty after that is unknown.

Cao Wei took advantage of this time difference and information gap to make up a story to deceive Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

Cao Wei continued to talk,

"And my master is the second prince of the Ming Dynasty. He was supposed to take over as the crown prince after the death of the prince. Zhu Di suddenly appeared and started to win over the courtiers by relying on his military exploits."

"Furthermore, there is a monk named Daoyan beside King Zhu Di of Yan. This man has the talent to understand the world. Suddenly one day, the monk calculated that there is a silver mine hidden in the Shijian Mountains in your country of Japan."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's eyes suddenly widened with tears in his eyes!

"What did you say? There is a silver mine in Iwami Mountain?"

Cao Wei calmly waved his hand,
"General Adachi, please be patient and listen to me."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu finally calmed down the raging emotions in his heart, closed his mouth, and cursed Go Kameyama in his heart for being an idiot.

He didn't even know there was a silver mine on his own territory, so these Ming people got a free advantage! "No one believed what Monk Daoyan said at first, but King Yan still sent people to investigate, and they actually found this silver mine."

"The King of Yan reported this silver mine to His Majesty the Ming Emperor. His Majesty was very happy, and the King of Yan became more powerful because of it."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu understood a little after hearing this, "So your second prince wants to ruin King Yan's good deeds?"

Cao Wei suddenly laughed, "General Adachi is indeed a smart man. If His Royal Highness, the second prince, wants to be better than King Yan, he must work hard on the silver mine."

"This is why I brought one hundred thousand muskets to see General Adachi."

"A few months ago, King Yan mobilized [-] firecrackers from the country and sent them to Japan, with the intention of helping Houguishan completely unify Japan. The condition was that King Yan's army should always be stationed in Iwami Mountain. And Hou Guishan can’t interfere with any of these matters.”

"My second prince followed closely and ordered one hundred thousand muskets, and sent me to deliver them to General Adachi. This is also to help General Adachi unify Japan."

"But His Highness the Second Prince knows that he cannot take advantage of it all by himself, so when the matter is completed, he is willing to give [-]% of Iwamiyama's interests to General Adachi, and the remaining [-]% will be reported to His Majesty the Ming Dynasty by His Highness the Second Prince. , then great things can be accomplished.”

After Ashikaga Yoshimitsu heard this, he snorted coldly,
"Ishimiyama is the territory of our Japanese country. Why do I, the general, let you interfere?"

The benefits represented by a silver mine were simply immeasurable, and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu naturally had the idea of ​​taking it as his own.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu would say this, and Cao Wei had also expected it.

He laughed.

"Hahahaha, General Adachi is really good at joking. Is it possible that General Adachi still can't see the situation clearly now?"

"Counting the days, the [-] muskets belonging to King Yan Zhu Di should have been handed over to Hou Guishan. Next time the war between the two dynasties resumes, the general will face more than just the Southern Dynasty army plus the tens of thousands of cavalry. Yes, there are still [-] firecrackers!"

Hearing this, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's face instantly became extremely ugly!
Houguishan's Southern Dynasty army and the Ming Dynasty's tens of thousands of cavalry were already too much for him to withstand. If he added [-] muskets, wouldn't he be bound to lose?
"General Adachi must think clearly. If you cooperate with us, you will not only unify Japan, but you will also get [-]% of the silver mine revenue. If you don't cooperate with us..."

"If we wait until the general is exhausted and Hou Guishan leads the army to force him in front of the general, the general will have nothing but death."

Cao Wei's words were like the whispers of a devil, making Ashikaga Yoshimitsu break into a cold sweat when he thought of that scene.

He has always wanted to kill Kameyama to unify Japan, and the other party must also want to get rid of him quickly. If he loses, there will really be nothing left, including his own life!

The Adachi shogunate group has been fighting with the Southern Dynasty for so long, is it going to end like this?

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is unwilling to give in!
Only by keeping all the firecrackers brought by Cao Wei would he have a chance.

But it seems that Cao Wei's visit this time is definitely not to bring warmth. Those [-] fire blunderbuss are important weapons on the battlefield, how could they be given to him for free?
How about... robbing?
Sensing that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's eyes were dangerous again, Cao Wei raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.

"General Adachi, there is a saying in China that all eggs cannot be put in one basket. This time I came to Nagano and only brought [-] firecrackers to the general for inspection. The other [-] firecrackers are still at the dock. On board.”

"And I have given an order to the guarding soldiers. If they don't see me back within four days, they will take the firecrackers back to Daming. Or if they see that the person coming is not me, they will also take the firecrackers back to Daming."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's cheeks suddenly bulged, and he gritted his teeth!
"Cunning Ming people!"

"Hey~ don't say it so harshly. The general once sent Japanese pirates to invade our coast of the Ming Dynasty. We haven't settled this debt with the general yet. At this time, we sent fire blunderbuss to the general to relieve the siege and help the general unify Japan. We are already generous enough. ." Cao Wei smiled like a dog's tail flower, and the veins on Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's forehead were beating.

But in desperation, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu could only choose to cooperate with Cao Wei and others.

After Guishan got [-] fire guns, he would definitely lead his army to attack again. If he didn't make preparations quickly, the consequences would be unpredictable!
"Okay, I have agreed to your request. I want all [-] fire guns. You can make an offer."

Cao Wei gave a thumbs up,

"General Adachi is so heroic and heroic. He is truly a hero. I won't be nagging him anymore. The price is 100 million silver!"

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu almost popped his eyes out,
"What! 100?"

Not only Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, but also Gokomatsu. They didn't expect Cao Wei to be so open-minded.

The cost of making one hundred thousand fire blunderbuss is only 80 to 100 yuan at most, yet he asked for [-] million yuan!

Not to mention them, even Ma He, who was standing next to Cao Wei and translating, trembled in his heart.

He didn't expect Cao Wei to be so bold. He was taking Ashikaga Yoshimitsu as the main culprit and ripping him off!
Ma He thought he was used to seeing large and small scenes by Zhu Di's side, but at this time he still couldn't help but feel a twinge in his heart.

Cao Wei did this without treating Ashikaga Yoshimitsu as a human being and directly slaughtered him as a pig. If Ashikaga Yoshimitsu really couldn't bear the humiliation and went crazy, they would have to explain it here today.

I saw Cao Wei stretching out his hand and making an eight sign.

"The cost of making these 80 fire blunderbuss is 20 silver. This time we brought the manpower to transport these 100 fire blunderbuss from the Ming Dynasty to the Japanese country. The total manpower and material resources are [-] silver. [-] million silver is very reasonable. s price."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's face twitched violently. Cao Wei's words were just and reasonable, and he couldn't refute them.

But 100 million silver is not a small amount for Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, so why would he just hand it over?

"Since we want to cooperate, then we are friends. The price of 100 million silver is too expensive. Can we reduce it a little if appropriate? After all... I have to deal with the Southern Dynasty army in Houguishan and your King Yan of the Ming Dynasty."

Cao Wei immediately shook his head,

"The second prince once told me that one hundred thousand muskets and one million silver would never be bargained for!"

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu looked gloomy and uncertain, and began to think about whether he should pay the 100 million.

Cao Wei spoke again:

"General Adachi may want to take a longer-term view. Although you have lost 100 million silver in this transaction, you have gained 100 genuine firecrackers. Unification of Japan is just around the corner. It is not easy to earn back [-] million silver. ?”

"Besides, the general can still get 100% of the income from the Iwamiyama silver mine. At this time, it's only [-] million silver. Why does it matter?"

Cao Wei came up with the most common trick of later generations, drawing a big pie. After what he said, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu began to shake his heart.

One million silver compared with unifying Japan...

Naturally, the latter is more important

Moreover, if he didn't buy these [-] fire guns, how could he defeat Hou Guishan and King Yan?

Gritting his teeth hard, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu stared at Cao Wei and said loudly,

"This general wants to test the gun!"

"Of course there is no problem," Cao Wei smiled more relaxedly and comfortably.
