Chapter 396: The Great Chaos in the World (First Update, Asking for Support)
When the cannon sounded, most of the citizens of Changfu did not react, they had never heard the sound of the cannon, and most of them thought that it was thunder in the sky.
But soon, they saw black dots falling from the sky.
What is this?
In fact, for Japan, artillery has always been a rare commodity, even if they had eaten the Ming army's artillery when they were in Korea, that is, the loss of the Franc machine, and they also used hundreds of cannons during the siege of Osaka, in fact, they were basically backward Franc machines, but they had not cast any cannons.
For Japan, this cannon is too complicated, too sophisticated, of course, there is another reason, Japan does not have the luxury to the point of using iron bullets - until now, in this era, in addition to a small amount of self-produced iron and milled iron, most of the "Tang Iron" or "Nanban Iron" that flooded the Japanese metallurgical market is "Tang Iron" or "Nanban Iron", these "imported iron" is the main iron raw material in Japan, and the backward metallurgical technology and the scarcity of iron ore make Japan neither have enough iron cast cannons, but also cannot afford to play expensive iron bullets. Even the famous iron cannon used in its lead bullets was imported.
Japan's shortage of materials is not a matter of 300 or 500 years, it is a traditional operation for thousands of years.
Not to mention the ordinary people, even for the samurai who have been in Chengping for almost half a century, they have also forgotten the sound of cannons, and even when the cannonballs hit, their heads are more doubtful.
What is this?
Haven't seen it?
The iron bullet that fell from the sky hit a passerby first, and the moment the flesh and blood splashed, Ichiro Takasugi's eyes suddenly widened.
"What ......?"
Then he saw an iron ball rolling on the ground, and when it rolled on the ground, it grazed the foot of a civilian, and the civilian, who was wiped out, immediately fell down screaming, and the wound revealed white bone stubble, and blood splattered.
Stunned, his eyes widened, Ichiro Takasugi couldn't believe all this.
What's going on?
Staring at the iron ball that was rolling and smoking at the same time, he was full of questions, and he didn't know what it was.
Even if it was a two-hundred-stone banner, he had never seen anything like it.
"Quick, Takasugi, go to the port, I heard that the Hu people killed the port......"
Just as a few samurai grabbed their swords and bows and rushed out, suddenly the iron ball exploded, and with a loud bang, the iron pieces flew around, and a running samurai was directly cut off in half, and fell in a pool of blood struggling desperately, screaming. For a moment, the streets were filled with screams.
The black powder shells may not have been very powerful, but they were still extremely deadly, and the high temperature of the shell's output when it exploded directly ignited the nearby straw roof. Before they could even release their arrows, several fires broke out in the city, and the fires grew stronger and stronger, and in the face of the fires, whether it was straw roofs, wooden houses, or paper sliding doors, became the best fuel.
"Fire! Artillery ......"
Guo Daishan, who was standing on the side of the port, roared and beckoned the sailors to carry knives and guns to the port, as in the past, when they rushed to the port, he and the sailors shouting behind him unceremoniously cut the knives directly at the bodies of those Japanese.
Shouting loudly while slashing.
"Silver, silver!"
"Bring the silver!"
They were even shouting in Japanese, which they had just learned on the boat, although what they spoke was not quite standard. However, at this time, there is no need for such standard words, after all, for those Japanese people, they also know what to use to save their lives.
But when they held the gold and silver in their hands, what awaited them was not mercy, but the sword that fell on them.
For these people, they want more than just gold and silver. Someone else's life is also needed!
Although they slashed and killed the Japanese on the port at will, they did not rush to kill at will, but killed all the way along the main street, and they did not forget to loot while killing, and the shops on the side of the road were robbed like crazy.
"Tie up that woman!"
I have to say that this is a group of veterans who are used to robbing, when they not only have a clear division of labor, someone is responsible for robbery, someone is responsible for killing, and even the women who were robbed were directly tied to the side of the road with ropes, and then ignored them, and when it was time to retreat, it was not too late to take them away.
As a port city, even after Japan closed the country, as one of the most important ports in the Seto Inland Sea, its most prosperous and wealthy areas were all port areas, and when they broke into those businesses that specialized in exchanging gold or silver, they were instantly dumbfounded - boxes of gold and silver were displayed in front of them.
This era is the most abundant gold and silver in Japan, the most financially relaxed era, the so-called "feudal za", that is, the exchange of paper money issued by the feudal clans has not yet come out, but despite this, gold judgments, silver and copper coins need to have a place to exchange, the more ports are the more so, there are more than a dozen money houses in Changfu Port, these businesses have become the fat sheep in the eyes of Guo Daishan and his soldiers.
"Quick, ask them where the silver vault is, where the silver vault is......"
Guo Daishan roared, and cut down the guy in the silver trumpet with a knife, there must be a silver treasury in this place, where there is a silver treasury, there is silver, and where there is silver, there is ...... Merit!
With credit comes everything!
Faced with the temptation of gold and silver, Guo Daishan became extremely ferocious, and although those people pleaded bitterly, his knife still kept slashing at them, shouting for them to lead the way.
When these experts who are accustomed to robbery and killing are rampant on the side of Changfu Port, the gunners on the armed merchant ship in the port that was renamed "Lida" continue to fire cannons at Changfu, these just cast flowering shells, give full play to its power, although the Manchu gunners do not time the wooden letter tube, of course, they do not know that the fuse of the cannonball needs to be timed, but when it is used to shell the city, there is no difference between the delay of more than ten seconds and a few seconds, and in the end it is an explosion, at most it is to kill and injure a few fewer people, And most of the Japanese houses in this era are grass roofs, wooden beams, paper doors, grass roofs, what kind of city is this, it is clearly a natural furnace, although the flowering bomb of black powder can only explode more than a dozen fragments, but the flame when the gunpowder explodes is still enough to ignite the grass roof, paper door, for a while, the city is full of flames, the flames are a cluster at the beginning, and then the fire points are burned into a sea of fire,
"This, this is the so-called erosion of dozens of miles......"
Standing on the towering stern of the ship, Wang Lun looked at the city in flames in amazement, although everything was going well, there was only one thought left in his mind.
Finished!
It's all over!
Even if they robbed a lot of silver, after returning to North Korea, they would still be punished by the emperor, after all, for the emperor, he was going to open a trade route, and now, the surname Guo not only killed people, robbed people, and even burned people's cities.
God-damn Guo Daishan, do you know that you have ruined the master's big thing!
Wait until you return to Seoul, and then you will sue your master for your complaint!
A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late! You actually ignore Wang so much!
Of course, this is just what he thinks in his heart, a hero doesn't suffer immediate losses, he won't risk his life to talk to this group of Qiu Ba about any reason.
Reasoning with these Qiu Ba will lose your head. When you return to North Korea, you will report your situation to your master. When Wang Lun thought so in his heart, he looked at those pretty Japanese women, and he was also a little greedy. After all, I haven't seen a Japanese woman in the past.
The small and delicate ones do have a special style.
At this time, the fire on the shore was already burning more and more, and it seemed that it was no longer possible to kill it like in the city, and after burning and killing at the head of the port, Guo Daishan led his men to loot the property on the ship.
When the "Lida" returned with a full load, the Changfu behind it had already fallen into a sea of fire.
In the sea of fire, tens of thousands of Japanese people struggled desperately in it, and those samurai who had been peaceful for many years could only look at the sea of fire, and they were late, just looking at the city in the sea of fire with a stunned face.
Looking at the sea of fire in front of him, Chen Yuanyun, who was stunned, only had one thought left in his mind - the world was in chaos!
