Chapter 161 Zhu Di and Dao Yan were confused, 100?

Cao Wei clapped his hands, and the soldiers behind him brought over a large box. After opening it, it revealed the neatly stacked firecrackers, ammunition and other items.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu stepped forward with a calm face, took out a firecracker from the box, and then started loading ammunition.

Although Ashikaga Yoshimitsu holds a high position and is the true ruler of the Northern Dynasty, he is also a real general and is no stranger to how to load firecrackers and ammunition.

Pour in the gunpowder, compact it, stuff in the iron beads, and compact it.

Then Ashikaga Yoshimitsu raised his gun and fired.

"Oh!"

With a gunshot, a wooden fence not far away was broken.

Cao Wei raised his eyebrows slightly, this guy's marksmanship is quite good.

"How is it? Our Ming Dynasty's fire guns are of the best quality!" Cao Wei asked aloud.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu has already tried it, and there is no problem with the fire gun. And as Cao Wei said, the fire gun he is holding now is much more sophisticated and more powerful than the fire gun made in Japan.

But he still snorted coldly,
"But so."

Cao Wei didn't care how tough he was and continued to ask,
"Then General Adachi has thought about it? He wants to use 100 million silver to buy [-] fire blunderbuss in my hand?"

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu took a deep look at Cao Wei, then looked at the gun in his hand. Finally, after hesitating for a moment, he waved to Gokomatsu who was standing aside.

"Give them money!"

Hou Xiaosong had no room for resistance, nodded, and turned around to prepare.

Cao Wei saw this and clapped his hands.

"General Adachi made a decisive decision without hesitation. It is best for my Second Prince to make friends with heroes like you. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely talk to General Adachi."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu bought the fire gun, which meant that he had accepted being an "ally" as Cao Wei said, and his expression softened a lot.

"The General admires your Second Prince's foresight and foresight. After I unify Japan, I will prepare a great gift for His Highness the Second Prince in return."

Cao Wei smiled lightly.

And Ma He beside him was dumbfounded at this moment.

The two sides were originally at war with each other, but in just a few moments, they started talking and laughing.

Master Cao’s methods are really unpredictable!

After a while, Hou Xiaosong sent someone back with 100 million silver.

Cao Wei waved his hand, and Ma He took several soldiers to check the amount of silver.

After checking one by one, Ma He reported to Cao Wei.

"Sir, 100 million silver, no problem."

Cao Wei nodded and looked at Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

"There are still [-] muskets at the dock. The general can send someone to go with me to get them."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu waved his hand, "I will go personally, General."

"Without further delay, let's set off..."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu immediately ordered more than 2000 people and followed Cao Weima and his group back to the dock.

After three days of journey, when they arrived at the dock, Cao Wei ordered all the firecrackers on the ship to be sent down.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu also asked people to inspect them one by one. He took out a few firecrackers from each box and tried firing them. There was no problem in getting bail.

Cao Wei had people transport boxes of silver onto the ship while waiting for Ashikaga Yoshimitsu to count the muskets.

"Bang!" The box containing the gun was closed.

"There is no problem with the fire gun," Ashikaga Yoshimitsu said with a nod.

"That's natural. I am the most honest person," Cao Wei grinned, showing his big white teeth.

"Now that the general's inspection has been completed, we will not stay for a long time. We still need to return to the Ming Dynasty to report to His Highness the Second Prince."

"No delivery."

Cao Wei gave the order, and everyone under his command began to board the ship in an orderly manner, and then he handed over to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

"Then Cao is looking forward to good news from the general."

After boarding the ship, Cao Wei ordered to set sail again and headed due west. He stood on the deck and waved to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

After turning around, Cao Wei looked at the boxes of silver in the cabin and smiled even more happily.

"I don't know what the situation is like with His Highness Prince Yan."

Ma He stood aside and looked at Cao Wei with admiration in his heart.

Although from Ma He's perspective, the Northern Dynasty's trip was extremely dangerous, from Cao Wei's point of view, there was actually not much danger at all.

First of all, the situation in the northern and southern dynasties of Japan at this time was not conducive to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, because there was assistance from King Zhu Di of Yan on the side of Houguishan.

The Southern Dynasty army, together with tens of thousands of Ming Dynasty cavalry, pushed back the Northern Dynasty army all the way to Nagano.

Although Nagano is an important fortress and difficult to conquer, if Zhu Di sends more troops to assist, it is hard to say whether Ashikaga Yoshimitsu can hold it. Even if he can hold it, he will definitely suffer heavy losses!

At this time, Cao Wei came as the "Second Prince" to seek cooperation with Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, which was actually a good thing for Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

Although Ashikaga Yoshimitsu didn't know that the second prince mentioned by Cao Wei was a fiction, the [-] muskets were real!

These [-] firecrackers are crucial to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu!It is the decisive condition for whether he can win the next battle.

Of course, if he knew that Houguishan had obtained the same number of fire blunderbuss as him, he probably wouldn't think so.

Furthermore,
On the surface, the enemy Ashikaga Yoshimitsu faced at this time was the alliance between Go Kameyama and Zhu Di.

As long as Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is not stupid, he will not provoke the "second prince" of the Ming Dynasty again.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu could have left all Cao Wei and his men in Nagano in a fit of rage, but then he would not be able to obtain the remaining [-] muskets.

And if you do this, you will offend the "Second Prince", and you must be prepared to face the "Second Prince's" revenge at any time!

Only by not offending the "Second Prince" and letting the "Second Prince" become allies with him can Ashikaga Yoshimitsu be able to gain subsequent support from the "Second Prince".

After all, according to Cao Wei, the "Second Prince" and Zhu Di were competing for the position of the Ming Dynasty Crown Prince, and the silver mine in Shijian Mountain was the key.

If Houguishan is allowed to unify Japan, Iwamiyama will fall into Zhu Di's hands.

This is definitely not what the "Second Prince" wants to see. Only by helping Ashikaga Yoshimitsu unify Japan can the "Second Prince" get the Iwamiyama Silver Mine.

Therefore, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu had no choice but to become an ally with the "Second Prince", so that the "Second Prince" who was far away in the Ming Dynasty could help Ashikaga Yoshimitsu when he lost power again.

Although this possibility is extremely slim, even slim, it is still a glimmer of hope in Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's heart.

And one last point,
Whether in terms of material or financial resources, the Northern Dynasty controlled by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was much richer than the Southern Dynasty controlled by Go Kameyama. Although 100 million is not a small amount, the Adachi Shogunate Group will definitely not be unable to come up with it.

100 million silver can not only buy [-] firecrackers, but also become an ally of the "Second Prince", and it is still possible to receive assistance from the other party in the future.

In addition, one hundred thousand firecrackers had been delivered to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu at this time, which also made him unable to doubt the authenticity of the "Second Prince".

As long as Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is not a fool, doesn't want to lose at the hands of Go Kameyama and Zhu Di, and doesn't want to face a complete defeat, then he knows that spending 100 million silver to buy these [-] fire guns is the best choice!

On the way to the Northern Dynasty border, Cao Wei analyzed the pros and cons and found the most suitable excuse to control Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's psychology!
Just from the fact that the "Second Prince" appeared and came to trade with a hundred thousand firecrackers, it was impossible for Ashikaga Yoshimitsu to attack Cao Wei and others.

Unless Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is mad, he doesn't care about having another enemy like the "Second Prince".

Everything went smoothly. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was smart enough to allow Cao Wei to successfully sell 100 fire guns that the Ming Dynasty no longer needed for a high price of [-] million silver.

Cao Wei led the fleet in a circle, spending four days avoiding all border lines between the South and North Korea, and circled back to the Shijianshan military camp.

After mooring the ship, Cao Wei returned to the gate of the military camp with his five thousand soldiers and one million silver.

Zhu Di had already received the news and came out with Monk Dao Yan.

"Master Daoyan, you see I am right."

Daoyan smiled and nodded.

A few days ago, Zhu Di said that there would be absolutely no danger for Cao Wei to go to the Northern Dynasty of Japan to meet Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and now it seems that is indeed the case.

Zhu Di walked up to Cao Wei and said with a smile:
"Sister-in-law, I exchanged those 50 muskets for 40 silver at Houguishan. How much silver did I bring back after being here for so many days? If it is less than [-], I will laugh at you."

Cao Wei also laughed when he heard this.

Ma He, who had been following Cao Wei, twitched his lips and thought, Your Highness, aren't you bringing humiliation on yourself?
Daoyan noticed Ma He's unusual expression and had a bad premonition in his heart.

Zhu Di was talking to Cao Wei and did not notice anything unusual about Ma He.

"Come! Let me see how much silver you brought back, brother-in-law."

As he spoke, Zhu Di looked over Cao Wei's figure and looked back.

When I looked at it, I saw soldiers behind them carrying large boxes, and there was a long queue as far as the eye could see.

Zhu Di also realized something was wrong at this time.

He got 50 silver from Houguishan, but the box didn't use that much!
As for the boxes behind Cao Wei, one can tell at a glance that they are worth more than 40 yuan, not to mention 80 yuan!
Zhu Di asked blankly,
"What's in these boxes?"

"Of course it's silver," Cao Weiyun said calmly.

"Is it all silver?"

Cao Wei nodded slowly again.

Zhu Di was dumbfounded.
He put in such a big show from Hou Guishan and sold the 50 fire blunderbuss for [-] silver.

Cao Wei went to the Northern Dynasty, which he had never dealt with before. How could he sell it for so much money?

"How much did you sell those [-] fire blunderbuss to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu?" Zhu Di's voice no longer had the same air as before.

Cao Wei stretched out a finger inexplicably and made a gesture.

Suddenly, Zhu Di and Dao Yan's eyes widened!

"100 million?" Zhu Di couldn't believe it.

Cao Wei nodded.

The corners of Zhu Di's eyes also twitched. He turned to Ma He as if he didn't believe in evil.

"Really 100?"

Ma He couldn't bear to tell Zhu Di the truth, but the fact was that there was nothing he could do.

Smiling at Zhu Di in embarrassment, Ma He said:

"Grandmaster Cao asked for 100 million, and since Adachi was satisfied... he gave 100 million..."

Hearing this, Zhu Di's heart suddenly felt like a thunderbolt!
Dao Yan on the side also opened his mouth wide and was shocked!

You know, Zhu Di originally asked Hou Guishan for 70 yuan, but Hou Guishan opened his mouth and bargained for 40 yuan.

Zhu Di and Dao Yan both improved their acting skills and worked hard before they added another hundred thousand silver.

Cao Wei actually asked for 100 million?

And it looks like it’s a fixed price, and you won’t be able to bargain even half a cent!
The most outrageous thing is that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu actually gave him 100 million silver!

How dare Cao Wei ask for such an exorbitant price?
This is completely treating Ashikaga Yoshimitsu as a fat pig!

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu has too much money and nowhere to spend it?
How could he accept such an outrageous price?
Zhu Di felt that if only one of Cao Wei and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu had a normal mind, Cao Wei would not be able to carry the 100 million silver.

After all, they had never dealt with the Northern Dynasty Ashikaga Yoshimitsu before, and they even sent troops to assist Kameyama. After several battles, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu suffered heavy losses!
Although Zhu Di was confident that Cao Wei could return from the Northern Dynasties safe and sound, that was because Zhu Di felt that in the worst case, Cao Wei would sell the [-] fire guns to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu at a low price. In that case, it should not be difficult for Cao Wei to protect himself.

But he never thought that after Cao Wei arrived in the Northern Dynasties, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu would obediently take 100 million silver to buy the [-] firecrackers!

This thing is simply unbelievable!A great departure from the world!

Even Dao Yan frowned and fiddled with his rosary beads for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought.

Zhu Di grabbed Cao Wei.

"Sister-in-law, tell me quickly, how did you get this 100 million silver from Ashikaga Yoshimitsu?"

"Could it be that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, who looks like a dog, is actually a stupid pig?"

Seeing Zhu Di's confused look, Cao Wei laughed out loud.

"Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was able to defeat Go Kameyama step by step, so he would not be an incompetent person, but it is not difficult. After meeting Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, I just coaxed him and said..."

Cao Wei told everything that happened in Nagano.

After Zhu Di and Dao Yan heard this, they looked at each other in shock, and their hearts were as shocked as thousands of horses galloping!

They never imagined that it would be so easy for Cao Wei to obtain the 100 million silver!
Cao Wei just made up a "second prince" out of thin air and frightened Ashikaga Yoshimitsu into obediently handing over 100 million silver!

Bold as an expert is no longer enough to describe Cao Wei. He simply saw through Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and took advantage of him!
This time Cao Wei went to the Northern Dynasty to meet Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, which was completely a dimensionality reduction attack!

"Sister-in-law, what do you think your brain is like? How could you come up with such a method?" Zhu Di tilted his head and looked at Cao Wei.

"It's just a fluke," Cao Wei said modestly.

However, Zhu Di and Dao Yan could see clearly that Cao Wei had taken all factors into account this time. It seemed simple but in fact all of them were indispensable!

Even Cao Wei's one-time price of 100 million is crucial!

Cao Wei bid 100 million and refused to accept bargaining. He was so bold and greedy that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu believed that there really was a "second prince" behind him. Otherwise, where would Cao Wei have the confidence?

It was this confidence that made Ashikaga Yoshimitsu dare not act rashly, and thus fell into Cao Wei's scam step by step!
