Three days later, a very large fortune ship arrived in Nagasaki.
Instead of entering the port, we stopped at a deserted beach.
Duke Wei and Lin Yueru, accompanied by Sakurai Tao and the elders of the religious group, picked up the ship here.
Lin Yueru brought Yang Fan's warrant, and Governor Wei was appointed by Yang Fan as his representative in Japan to coordinate all Yang Fan's affairs in Japan.
Later, Yang Fan will send people to Nagasaki to buy land and build a guild hall as a stronghold. And Duke Wei will also restore his original name---Li Jinzhong.
This beach is made of stones and the water is more than seven meters deep, so the boat can dock directly on the shore.
Watching the large bronze cannons being carefully lifted to the shore by the sailors using pulleys and pulleys, the members of the religious order were trembling with excitement.
The caliber of these bronze cannons is 150 mm. The barrels are exquisitely cast and look very impressive at first sight.
The bronze cannon was mounted on a steel cast gun carriage with two steel wheels, and each gun also had a two-wheeled box ammunition cart.
Watching the artillerymen assemble the gun carriage and ammunition truck to form a four-wheeled artillery truck, they all opened their eyes in amazement.
At this time, they were the first Japanese people to see the entire field artillery system with their own eyes.
They never thought that the heavy artillery could be designed in such a way that it could be towed and marched by heavy pack horses in the field.
Finally, one hundred castrated heavy draft horses were driven ashore.
These maroon-colored, heavy-duty draft horses with white nose bridges were all over 1.7 meters tall at the shoulders. The Japanese at this time were only about 1.34 meters tall.
Their faces were all pale, and they looked at these huge horses in horror, almost as if they were looking at monsters.
"Wei Gong, the horses of this country are the real horses. Compared with them, the horses of Japan are simply donkeys, even worse than donkeys!" Matsumoto Shigeru said with admiration.
"Haha, this is nothing. These are just pack horses. The war horses in battle will be more majestic." Wei Duong said proudly.
He liked how these barbarians showed their admiration for China in front of him. Although it was the first time for him to see such a tall packhorse.
The female elder Shiina followed Sakurai Momo and whispered: "Yang Jun is so generous. He is actually willing to give this kind of sacred weapon to the country to his wife."
"The matter that Yang Jun entrusted me with is very difficult to handle. Maybe the whole army will be destroyed in Shuntian Mansion. Alas, I am also very confused. I don't want to let Yang Jun down, but I am also afraid of losing too much. After all, we have what we have today.
It’s not easy on a large scale. If I had to do it all over again, I don’t know if I would be able to succeed,” Sakurai Momo said with a sigh.
"Madam is so confused about this matter! Madam only sees that our situation today is hard-won, but Madam does not see that this is entirely the result of Yang Jun's support for us. All of this was brought about by Yang Jun
, even if everything is lost, it’s not a big deal. As long as the wife returns to Yang Jun’s heart and comes back after all the money is gone, there is nothing to worry about.” Elder Shiina comforted in a low voice.
Sakurai Momo was stunned. She had not figured out such a simple question. She was confused by the authorities and had not grasped the root of the matter at all.
One hundred artillerymen used eight horses to tow one artillery carriage, and under the leadership of the guide, they went to an inaccessible valley under the name of the religious order.
In the afternoon of the same day, the cannon test began, and the roar of the cannons shocked everyone even more, thinking that these huge cannons were weapons of the God of Thunder.
The huge range of 1,500 meters, the ricochet effect caused by the spherical solid lead bullets, made a passage of flying grass clippings into the densely packed scarecrows standing in the distance, which made these people take a breath of air.
The cold weapon duels of this era all used dense formations and focused on the formation of troops. This was not only to rely on the formation and the coordination of various weapons to exert combat effectiveness, but also to facilitate management and command, and even to prevent soldiers from escaping and use the formation to capture them.
Fixed together, advancing and retreating together.
The twenty-four-pound shot put kept jumping, directly knocking the dense formation into an alley. If the two armies were fighting, it would be an alley full of flesh and blood.
When the shotgun was fired, thousands of small steel balls were ejected in an instant, sweeping across everything. The fan with a thirty-degree angle smashed all the scarecrows within three hundred meters. Everyone in the cult trembled in fear as they watched.
Sakurai Momo was trembling with excitement. This was a difficult choice, but the rewards were also extremely rich.
Five days later, an army of 3,600 men arrived at Jeju Island, transported by pirate ships.
There is already a pirate regiment of 3,600 people gathering at the base here.
The religious group came empty-handed. They were told that they did not need to bring anything, and that all equipment and luggage would be distributed to them on Jeju Island.
After disembarking from the ship, we arrived at the tent camp that had been set up. Lin Yueru presided over the first meeting. All officers and leaders of the two regiments from both sides attended the meeting.
During the meeting, Lin Yueru arranged various matters such as command, communication, liaison, supplies, reconnaissance, etc. Then, weapons, armor and food were distributed to the two regiments.
After the meeting, the warriors and soldiers of the order were in extreme excitement.
After they took a bath and removed parasites as required, everyone was given three sets of clothes outside of brand new cotton cloth, a set of well-made cowhide leather armor, a set of full-metal Japanese-style armor, a cross spear, and a pair of two-handed armor.
Long knives, and some people issued steel crossbows with ratchets.
Leather armor is worn on the inside, and steel armor is worn on the outside.
Wearing it like this can not only buffer the damage caused by blunt force blows, but also make it more comfortable. After all, the direct contact between steel and the human body is not a good experience.
What excited them was that the armor was actually made of pure steel.
Japanese armor is a luxury item. The middle and lower class warriors cannot afford to equip it. Only the upper class warriors and lords can afford it.
Despite this, their armors are much more fancy and rarely use iron sheets. Most of them are made of bamboo, leather and other materials. Those who can use complete breastplates and iron armors must be of the daimyo level.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Now these dilapidated wandering warriors were actually given armor made of pure steel, which made them almost crazy with excitement. This is a treasure that can be heirloomed.
What Sakurai Momo received was a very fitting plate armor specially prepared for her by Yang Fan. In her tent, under the service of the female elder Shiina, Sakurai Momo put on this very slim-fitting female armor, feeling very happy. Look back and forth in front of the mirror.
"I will set off tomorrow. I hope I can take them to Daming and bring them back safely. I hope the loss will not be too great. I will see Yang Jun again. I don't know if he is okay. "
At the same time, in the study room of the Western Nuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyiwei command and the Jinyiwei officer, was looking down at his toes, not daring to express his anger.
"Tell me, how did you spy on me? You didn't know about such a big thing."
The young emperor angrily pushed all the memorials to the ground. He grabbed a letter and threw it in front of Luo Yangxing.
Luo Yangxing picked it up in panic and opened it. It turned out to be a personal letter written by Zheng Yiguan, the pirate leader of Fujian, to Qian Longxi, the deputy minister of the cabinet.
The letter asked Dong Lin to help him recruit people and promised to donate 300,000 taels of gold.
He was so frightened that he fell to his knees on the ground.
This is a serious dereliction of duty.
Wang Chengen, with the old god around, stood expressionless, but he couldn't help but feel proud in his heart. Yang Fan was still brave enough to hand over Zheng Jie and the gold directly to him.
He had just taken over Dongchang, and it was just when he needed to make a contribution to establish his prestige. Yang Tongzhi was always so knowledgeable and knowledgeable, so a huge achievement would come soon.
Not only did they uncover the collusion between Dong Lin and the pirates, but they also intercepted three hundred thousand taels of gold. For Long Live Lord, this was a huge amount of money that could solve an urgent need.
Xiao Niangpi was very puzzled that Yang Fan only withheld 100,000 taels of silver but not 300,000 taels of gold. Wasn't Yang Fan collecting gold everywhere?
Yang Fan knew very well that if he wanted to move those bastards like Dong Lin who always caused trouble for him, he would not be able to do it without spending money. Three hundred thousand taels of gold was more convincing than anything else.
As long as the emperor had a rift with them, he would be able to exploit every opportunity.
Besides, it is useless for the emperor to ask for gold. If he exchanges it for gold at a high price, the emperor will definitely secretly exchange the gold for silver. The exchange ratio of modern silver to gold is 84:1. It is no different from the one picked up for free. If you take a walk around the emperor, he will be like a passing god of wealth.
Half an hour later, a disgraced Luo Yangxing came out of the Qianqing Palace. His face was ashen. This time he suffered a huge stumble and almost lost the holy scroll.
I didn't expect that Wang Chengen, who was born as a chamberlain, would make such great achievements just after taking over Dongchang. I really underestimated him.
"Old man Qian Longxi, just wait for me." Luo Yangxing directed all his anger at Qian Longxi.
