golden scales

"In this way, they are all very good warriors." Mao Li Tsunahiro listened to Masuda's report and shook his folding fan lightly, not feeling anything scary.It's just that he got up in the morning to practice, and he didn't show amazing sword skills, so why worry?

What's more, there is still a sea between Ming and Japan. Even if Ming occupies North Korea, it is impossible to cross the strait, because Japan is a kingdom of gods blessed by kamikaze!

Even if the Ming army was lucky enough to cross the sea, they would only taste the disastrous defeat of the Mongols back then.

The most important thing now is to get a big tube. Only with a big tube can the Maori family's city be solid, and there is hope to overthrow the shogunate, restore the foundation of the ancestors, and even become a general himself!

"Master, they are not warriors." Yitian Yuanyao was very worried after hearing his son's return.No matter what means Ming used to intervene in the Japanese island, no matter whether it was successful or not, it was a dangerous signal.

Yuan Yao, who had heard his grandfather tell about the battle of Wen Lu Qingchang, did not think that Ming was a powerless giant.At that time, the Japanese side had the Ukita Hide family as the governor, Kobayakawa Takakage, Kato Kiyomasa, Konishi Yukinagi, Soyoshi Tomo, Shimadzu Yoshihiro, Tachibana Muneshige, Mori Terumoto... and many other famous generals who were touted as stars in the sky. He was beaten to shame by a partial division of the Ming army, and was finally able to withdraw his troops because of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's illness and death.

As the elder of the Eternal Family of the Maori family, Masuda Yuanyao is also very aware of the peace talks process of the Qingchang Wenlu Battle.It can be said to be an international farce. The Ming Dynasty and Konishi Governor conspired to forge the credentials and conspired to deceive Toyotomi Hideyoshi and the Ming Emperor.Such unimaginable things can happen only because the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty did not want to see warriors make meritorious deeds, while the Japanese generals really couldn't fight anymore.

"Don't worry, let's go and see if the big cylinder of the Ming Dynasty really has the legendary power." Maori Tsunahiro tapped the folding fan in his palm: "Let's go outside the city."

Outside Zhiyue Mountain City, there is a section of abandoned city wall. It was built to deal with the wars in troubled times, so the construction quality is definitely high-quality.After Xuan brought the news that the Ming Kingdom invited the Maoris to form an alliance, in order to see the power of Datong.Maori Gang Guangming re-fortified this section of the city wall as a target.

Long Fucai's artillery team had already set up the artillery one li away, cleaned the barrel, and checked the shells and ammunition.Ready to present.For these five experienced artillerymen, it was easier than daily training to defeat earth and rock targets at a distance of one mile.

He waited a little bored for a while, and saw a Japanese general in gorgeous costumes on a horse, walking slowly among the crowd.

"This is the current Patriarch of the Maori family, hurry up and salute." Tong Shi reminded Long Fucai in a low voice.

Long Fu glanced sideways at Tong Shi, until the Japanese general came up to him, he and the four artillerymen still stood upright, without taking the initiative to salute.

Tong Shi had already knelt down, seeing that Long Fucai and the others had no intention of saluting.Hastily tugged at the hem of Long Fucai's clothes, motioning him to kneel down.

Long Fucai said in a deep voice, "I have to salute first before I can return the salute."

Tong Shi's eyes darkened, and he suddenly felt that his life might be in danger.

Is it still when Wang Zhi and Wang Wufeng are in Japan?At that time, Wang Zhi called himself the King of Song, and he was like a great name in the Japanese archipelago.Many small families received him with the standard of receiving feudal lords and even emperors.At that time, the status of Chinese businessmen was also very high, and they would not be bullied at all.

Now that the shogunate has formally unified Japan, the general's orders are equally effective for Chinese businessmen, otherwise Chinese businessmen will have to worry about whether they will be driven to the island like the Dutch.

"What did he say?" Mori Tsunahiro asked.

Huashang Tongshi's forehead burst into cold sweat: "He said congratulations to Minggong for getting this sharp weapon, and his martial luck will last forever."

Mao Ligang was overjoyed, and ignored the etiquette issues of Long Fucai and others, just said: "Very good. Let him demonstrate."

Only then did Tongshi stand up, and said kindly to Long Fu: "Master Jun, he said that everyone should start the demonstration."

Long Fucai picked up the binoculars and looked at it, and said: "This wall is too long, and it can't be knocked down by a single bombardment. They can be divided into three sections. Bombarded one by one."

Tong Tong breathed a sigh of relief, and forwarded Long Fucai's suggestion to Mao Li.

The Masuda family is the permanent elder of the Maori family, but it does not mean that they will not be threatened by the status of other elders.Therefore, the success of the alliance with the Ming Dynasty will determine their future status and right to speak in the Maori family.In order to facilitate this, Masuda Yuanyao modified his rhetoric.He said to Mao Ligang: "My lord, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty said that they can mark the walls and hit them one by one."

Mao Ligang made such a great effort to go to the city, of course he would like to see more, of course he nodded in agreement.

Long Fucai didn't know the twists and turns. Seeing that the Japanese had indeed painted different marks on the targets, he calculated the shooting parameters with ease, and immediately ordered to fire the guns.

The other four gunners are also experienced old gunners. They cooperate with each other tacitly, and all the movements are done in one go, which is pleasing to the eye.

Tsunahiro Mori couldn't help but marvel at the movements of these five Ming soldiers. He was about to compose a haiku, but he didn't want to be startled by the earth-shattering gunfire and almost fell off his horse.If it weren't for the attendant Xiao Xing holding the reins tightly, I'm afraid this good horse known for its docileness would also be frightened and run away.

Long Fucai picked up the binoculars, glanced at it, and said, "It's on target. Clean the barrel and prepare to shoot."

After the promotion of mathematics, gunners can use mathematical formulas to calculate the shooting angle, and the dependence on the gun meter is greatly reduced.For some skilled and savvy gunners, it is even possible to use calculus to determine the elements and strike moving targets.

Soon, the second and third shells of the Ming army were fired one after another, hitting one by one.

"My lord! They're all hits! They're all hits!" Yitian declared himself to go to check the targets, and ran back excitedly at this moment, shouting: "My lord, the city wall hit by the big tube collapsed a big hole in one shot. ! This is a siege weapon!"

Mori Tsunahiro was shocked, holding his folding fan tightly, his lips twitching.

The Chinese businessman was also very surprised. He didn't expect that Daming would have such a sharp heavy weapon after not returning to China for many years.With such a military weapon in hand, who can accuse Ming soldiers of being rude?

"Datong... No, Ming Guopao!" Mori Tsunahiro gave the artillery a new name in Japan.He said again: "There is such power! In the future, my Maoli family will be invincible!"

"Congratulations, my lord!" The accompanying retainers saluted and congratulated one after another.

Mori Tsunahiro excitedly looked up at the sky, turned to Masuda and asked, "What is the price of the Ming gun?"

Masato declared that he didn't have many chances to speak directly with the head of the family, and knelt on the ground flattered: "I haven't discussed the price with the Ming country yet, but a general of the Ming country wants the lord to go to Xiangdao to sign a secret agreement with him in person."

Mori Tsunahiro felt his blood boil all over, pointed at his folding fan, and said, "I'll leave this matter to you. It doesn't matter if I go to Aishima or Daming. In short, we must have enough Ming guns and gunner!"

"Yes!" Masuda was very excited to get such an assignment.

……

"Sir, the secret document from the Department of Military Intelligence." The staff officer handed the secret document to Wei Yun, and immediately withdrew.

"What secret document, have you come here?" Chen De couldn't help asking.

The two were inspecting the port of Jiandao, and the guards behind them were still carrying fishing rods, just waiting to go fishing at sea after the work here was over.

Wei Yun tore open the secret document of the Military Intelligence Department, found the text according to the key, and said with a smile: "The news of the Mori family's smuggling of Ming artillery has been sent to Edo, and when the conditions are ripe, it can trigger the Tokugawa clan's crusade against the Mori clan." .”

"Hehe," Chen De laughed dryly, "the small island country is still fighting all day long. It's really easy to fight in Japan."

"Don't underestimate Japan," Wei Yun put away the secret report. "It is said that the five hundred boys and girls brought by Xu Fu and the descendants of the local barbarians may still have Qin customs in their blood, so the folk customs are tough."

Chen De said disdainfully: "How many soldiers can they mobilize to fight against the Heavenly Army?"

"When the Mongols and the Yuan Dynasty attacked Japan, Japan raised 30 troops to fight against it, which is just a false number." Wei Yundao: "The Imchen Japanese Invasion was suitable for a long war, and at least 15 people were invested in North Korea."

Chen De was choked by the number reported by Wei Yun, and said: "Back then, there were only 4 or [-] people in Liao Town, right? Why don't we put down those Japanese pirates anyway?"

"But it was in North Korea at that time, and won the hearts of the Korean people." Wei Yundao: "My host and guest, this is a great advantage. Besides, didn't there be 20 North Korean soldiers accompanying them that day?"

Chen De suddenly felt a little headache, and said: "Don't mention Korean soldiers, they are not as useful as pigs! If you don't believe that you put [-] pigs and [-] Korean soldiers in the city, the pigs must cause more trouble to the enemy! "

At least pigs will not open the door to the enemy, and they have to struggle before being killed!

Chen De's official title was Admiral of North Korea's military affairs, but there were very few recruits from China, just like picked children.Asked about the Governor’s Mansion, the Governor’s Mansion also gave an absolute answer, saying: “Didn’t it give you the right to conscript troops on the spot? Look at other tank divisions, look at other cavalry divisions…”

The tank divisions and cavalry divisions recruited on the spot are all the Jurchen, Oroqen, Xibe, and Mongols... These ethnic groups are born to fight, okay?

What is the use of North Korean conscripts?The body is weak, unable to run, timid, and unable to fight in battle; the brain is stupid, the language is poor, the hands and feet are slow, and the firearms are not good.

Except for letting them farm and transport goods, there is really no use for them.

Chen De is now in charge of fighting against Japan, which is a real battle!This is also the last chance for him to climb out of the deep pit, which makes him wish he could go to Japan to inquire about the military situation himself.But when he thought of the Korean soldiers under him, he was really headache and speechless, physically and mentally exhausted, and felt that such suffering would be better than building roads in southern Liaoning.
