Chapter 1063 Hirado is not Tianjin

Chapter 1063 Hirado is not Tianjin
There are more than a thousand thieves active between Hizen and Chikuzen, where Hirado is located, and they often threaten the existence of Hirado. These thieves plunder merchants on land and sea, and often defeat the local daimyo's army In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that this group of thieves is the backbone of the Mori family's samurai, recruiting deserters from the Otomo family and pirates from Tsushima, etc., just to target Hirado.

The power of the Mori family in the Western Kingdom is deeply rooted. Although Toyotomi Hideyoshi has already dominated the Japanese kingdom and subdued all the famous names in Kyushu, the Mori family still reaches out to Kyushu. When Hirado cannot be controlled by them, they must It is necessary to prevent Hirado from developing too fast and too big.

After Shen Wang returned to Hirado, the first thing he did was to exterminate this group of thieves. Shen Wang and his group were very familiar with the Hirado area, and the whereabouts of this group of thieves was quickly found out, and then they were arrested. Surrounded.

The warriors of the Mori family have a reputation for bravery and tenacity throughout the Warring States period. Except for the warriors of the Shimadzu family in Kyushu, the rest of the forces are not good at fighting. They are very afraid of this bandit. Although the vassals knew the power of the sea lord, they felt a little contemptuous in their hearts, thinking how the pirates could compare with the warriors on land.

Shen Wan sent people to clear up the pirates. The big names everywhere and the people of the country were all interested in watching the fun. If they suffered a loss, then everyone would come to negotiate terms.

However, the battle ended soon, which shocked the Japanese warriors who were watching the sky again. Sanshui Wang Shen Wang's subordinates were not only able to charge and fight, but also used artillery in the battle to completely wipe out this group of thieves.

The big names in the Warring States period also had artillery in their hands. It was a thing called a "big tube" that could be fired with both hands hugged. To put it bluntly, it was a weakened version of the tiger crouching cannon.

The white people who are called Nanman by the Japanese have close trade with the Japanese country. In several port cities, there are also shops and churches belonging to the white people. Otomo's family in Kyushu is one.

With such close contacts, there are also real artillery pieces in Japan, but the number is very small, and most of them are placed on the main city as defensive weapons. The artillery is nothing more than a six-pounder, and it is very backward.

They never thought that artillery could also be used in field battles, the kind with wheels, which could be dragged and moved by two horses, and then quickly placed and fired.

Originally, the thieves wanted to rush out, but after being bombarded by two shells, the whole team couldn't hold on and collapsed, and then they were divided and annihilated by Shen Wang's men.

The result of the battle beyond everyone's expectations greatly shocked the various forces in Kyushu. The relevant news was not only circulated among the Kyushu daimyo, but was also quickly sent to Osaka and Mikawa.

Everyone thinks this way, if I get this kind of powerful weapon, or if I get the help of Shen Wang, the great sea lord of Ming Dynasty, this is the power that can fight for the hegemony of "the world". Of course, this world refers to the kingdom of Wa.

The Ryuzoji family and the Arima family have no big ambitions and are willing to surrender. The Shimadzu family, the Otomo family, and the Kobayakawa family, the Mouri's retainers, all came to ask if they could get Shen Wang's support. buy this gun.

Although there are still dozens of daimyos and hundreds of forces in the Wa country, these are all controlled by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Facing the forces that control tens of millions of people and hundreds of thousands of troops, Shen Wang dare not go too far as before. Unscrupulous.

He always declined the alliance, but he agreed to sell the artillery. For such a weapon, scholars from all sides in the Wa Kingdom are willing to spend a lot of money to buy it. A artillery can be sold several times or even dozens of times higher than that of Ming Dynasty. The price, and the currency used to pay is gold.

Shen Wang would not refuse such a huge profit, and after the bid reached a high level, Shen Wang began to agree to buy and sell artillery.

In fact, there are not many sources for Shen Wang to sell artillery. The only reliable source is Tianjin Wei. The small battleships sold there have more than a dozen artillery pieces on them, which can be disassembled and sold. According to the price sold in Japan, a few Cannons can even earn back the cost of the entire ship.

As for the cannons used by Shen Wan to fight the thieves, he spent a lot of money to buy them from the Sanjiang Workshop. With the addition of gun mounts, artillery carts, etc., they barely formed a force.

However, Shen Wang's plan to make a fortune was quickly shattered, Wang Tong issued an order to control the gunboat, and it was no longer possible for Shen Wang to obtain artillery from this channel, let alone other places.

In fact, Shen Wang also turned a few corners when he bought the gunboat in Tianjin Wei. Did he have any subordinates in Tianjin Wei who were exposed, and he was also a maritime merchant. Going to buy it is also convenient in one way or another, but now no one can buy it.

**************
"Return all the deposit to them. You go in person, and you must be polite and respectful when you go. From now on here, you will still have to rely on them for many things, do you understand?"

In Shen Wang's mansion, Shen Wang spoke to his subordinates with a gloomy face. His subordinates were dressed in Japanese clothes and listened respectfully. .

The weather in Kyushu is warmer than Daming Songjiang, everyone is still wearing single shirts, looking at those wooden boxes, Shen Wang's face is even more gloomy, and the gold he got is still vomited out, how can he be happy.

"It's different now. It's not like we were in the past. If we hate them, there will be troubles of one kind or another. Let's put it down. Now they are the master and you are the grandson. Do you understand?"

Shen Wang added another sentence, with a rather unwilling and helpless tone, and the waiting subordinates bowed there, and quickly agreed.

I was giving orders here, but I heard a burst of crying from the inner house, I couldn't hear it clearly, Shen Wang's residence in Hirado also occupies a large area, I can hear this sound, I don't think it's crying Small.

Although it was faint, everyone could hear the cry of a child, Shen Wang's face was already dark, and he said coldly there:
"What happened again?"

All the people in the hall bowed and bowed their heads. Shen Wang's son, Shen Yang, was spoiled and spoiled. Shen Wang's close friends all know that the leader has raised a few children in Hirado for the past two years, and he has always wanted to get rid of it. A child came out, and the Ji concubines of the Wa Kingdom and Daming also raised many concubines.

But it was also unlucky. Originally, there was a Japanese girl who had a son, but died before a hundred days, and then gave birth to any offspring or something. Because of this, the extreme pampering of this single seedling was really placed on her. The palms of your hands are afraid of getting cold, and you are afraid of melting in your mouth. The few second cabinets below Shen Wang are not used to such arrogance in private. They all know that you, Shen Wang, want to pass on the family business to your son, but you are like this. Trash, how can he have the ability to inherit, it's good not to be corrupted.

The outside said so, but Shen Wang's inner house did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. When Shen Wang asked, a servant immediately ran in, Shen Wang became more and more irritable, and waved his hand impatiently, indicating that his subordinates can go Went to get my money back.

Sitting outside for a while, Shen Wang got up and walked towards the inner house, and then entered the second door, and saw the young man running back, and when he came up to him, he respectfully reported:
"Master, the young master said that he wants to go back to Tianjin Wei"

Before he finished speaking, he was slapped heavily on the face. The young man covered his face and quickly knelt down and kowtowed, not daring to say a word, hummed heavily, and strode inside.

Just after entering the inner house, I heard the cry of a child:

"I'm going back to Tianjin, there's nothing here, the streets are too dirty and wet"

For a young man from a wealthy family who was pampered and pampered since he was a child, the gap from Tianjinwei, the most prosperous city in the world, to Hirado, which is just a port, is too great, and he has no way to adapt and accept it. Since coming to Hirado , crying all day long.

Shen Wang walked into the yard with a dark face, and saw his wife persuading his son in a low voice with a face full of embarrassment. Seeing himself coming in, Shen Yang, who was as fat as a ball, cried louder. Shen Wang walked up to him, He grabbed the child from the ground and slapped him both front and back. He was the one holding the knife, and his hands were really strong. After the slap, the corner of the fat boy's mouth was already bleeding.

"He's still a child, why are you beating him like that?"

The child was already stunned, because Shen Wang had never hit him, and Shen Wang's wife was in a hurry. After being stunned, the child burst into tears.

"Why are you crying, you prodigal bastard, from now on, you can stay in Hirado for me, don't think about going back!"

Shen Wang yelled fiercely, the mother and son over there rarely saw him being so vicious, they were all frightened and frozen, the fat boy Shen Yang didn't really cry at all, and at this time he was so frightened that he didn't dare to make a sound.

"Leader, leader, urgent matter, urgent matter!"

When the family was entangled, someone outside hurriedly shouted that the inner house is a private place, and the servants, maids and others all call the master, and they all follow the rules of the big family, and those who can shout like this are from the sea brigade He is a character, and he must have come over to yell when something urgent happened.

"Be honest, learn literature and martial arts and fight your body. If you feel slack, I will hang you on the mast to blow the air!!"

After saying something viciously, Shen Wang walked out quickly, just after leaving the courtyard gate, he heard howling behind him, Shen Wang ignored it.

"Leader, the soldiers of Kobayakawa's family are all on the move, guarding every intersection, saying that someone is coming from Chikugo, but they didn't make it clear, but at least there are more than 400 banner warriors, it seems to be from Honshu The elite from there."

"More than 400 people? What are these people doing? Our brothers on the ship and on land easily ate them. Are they some big shots?"

There are more than [-] banner warriors. The so-called banner warriors are directly subordinate to the Japanese daimyo. They are equipped with the best equipment and training. They are the strongest force in the hands of the daimyo. With the strength of the Warring States daimyo, they can dispatch [-] banner warriors to guard at a time. The character must be a very big one.

But Shen Wang's doubts are here. The main force of Kobayakawa's family is in Honshu Island, and there are not many people in Hirado. Even with the four hundred flags, it is not enough for Shen Wang. Shen Wang can relax It doesn't take much effort to eat him, what would such a person do.

In fact, the daimyos and nobles of the Wa country also understand this point, and try not to show up in Hirado as much as possible. They understand that this small place cannot accommodate two nobles who give orders.

"Arrange 200 people to guard the house first, and go to the port to tell the brothers to be more vigilant. In Hirado, no one else is allowed to move around, just be careful."

Shen Wang gave an order, and the leader of the report hurried away. Shen Wang entered the front hall, dug out a dagger from a box behind the screen, stuffed it into his boots, loaded two short guns with ammunition, and put them on the table again. Light the lamp, and at the critical moment, this is the equipment to start the fire.

Those two short guns are one of the products specially made by Sanjiang Workshop for the rich. Shen Wang also bought them for self-defense. The fire guns of Sanjiang Workshop are open for sale to people outside the border wall and overseas. There are hundreds of long and short goods, but they are actually not very useful, and the price is too high, so he bought this. The artillery piece was strangled as soon as it was opened. Not a lot of risk.

There are a lot of spies in Tianjin Weiming, and they are even stricter on important places like the workshop. After Shen Wang got out of those cannons, the incident broke out. The people in the workshop were put in prison and used as camouflage That shop was also uprooted. If I could buy more at that time, I could get more benefits now, and through this arms trade, I could make friends with the dignitaries of the Japanese country, which would be of great benefit to me in the future.

It's too late to think about these things now, Shen Wang cursed in his heart, and now he realizes that whether he is forced or voluntarily staying in Tianjin Wei, the advantages and disadvantages are actually the same, and they are almost the same as now. The land and waters of Lu Song can be governed. If I take the initiative, the Nanyang countries may not have their own place. But now, thinking of this situation, Shen Wang's resentment towards Wang Tong has intensified. Wei has swelled a lot, and the Wa people can already marvel at his growth speed.

After sorting out all these, the Japanese butler of Shen Wang's mansion also came over. This man is actually from the local people, and he is very well-informed. He also heard the things outside, and hurriedly said nervously:
"Master, could the person who came this time be Master Zha's last battle with the thieves? Ever since Lord Guan Bai issued the 'nothing's wrong' order, he has been strict about this."

Shen Wang frowned, and before he could speak, he heard a guard rushing in and said:
"Leader, there's a post here!"
