The east 'gate' Keijian knelt down to himself and said, "What are you doing?" When I was going to kill you before, you were still fighting me, and I was about to let you go, why did you come to salute me instead? ”

Jia Kan said: "Please let the full moon go back to the east 'gate'!" You will take revenge, you will punish, and I will bear it alone! ”

Nabeshima Kiyofang also knelt down and said, "Please let the East 'Gate' Lord go back!" He wasn't even ten years old! Not qualified to take my place***! ”

Seeing them like this, the smile on his face gradually faded, and his expression gradually turned solemn, and he said, "Are you really willing to do this?" ”

Jia Jian and Qing Fang both put their heads on the ground, and they 'exchanged' each other's eyes and 'colors', and said in unison: "Please complete the East 'Gate'!" ”

Full Moon crawled over and shouted to the East Gate, "I'm here!" You're going to let my great-grandfather go! If you can't talk, you don't count! ”

Xin An also shouted: "Yes! Please promise us! ”

Seeing that the two of them were fighting to death, the onlookers were very moved, and Matsuura Takanshin sighed: "East 'Gate' Jun, they are all admirable people, please reconsider this matter." ”

Anthony made a cross on his chest, and pleaded with them, saying, "For God's sake, please spare them." ”

At this time, the face of the East 'Gate' Qing had put away his smug face, sighed softly, and even knelt down to return the salute, saying: "The family and the Nabeshima-kun 'lick' calves are deeply affectionate, and the filial piety of the two little brothers is touching. I didn't have any hope for a foreign country, and I didn't want to go to Japan, but I saw such a scene of grandfather's kindness and filial piety to my children and grandchildren! Hello several, please. ”

Ryuzoji Iekan and Nabeshima Kiyofang were overjoyed when they heard this, and the full moon said, "Won't you kill my great-grandfather?" ”

Dong 'Gate' Qing said: "I am a disciple of Kong's 'Gate', and I have been taught by the saints since I was a child, how can I kill people who are kind and filial? ”

Full Moon was overjoyed, and quickly helped his great-grandfather up, knelt down for the East 'Gate' Qing, and said, "Full Moon is bold, and I will ask the East 'Gate' Lord for one more thing." ”

Dongmen' Qing asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The full moon asked the East Gate Kei to release the captives of the Ryuzoji family captured outside Matsupo Castle, and the East Gate Kei said, "If I let go of your men, but I am afraid that you will bite me back when I turn back." I will return to Daming in a few days, and I am not afraid of you, but I am worried that you will do something to Matsuura. ”

Yuanyue said: "I am willing to be a hostage and go on board with Lord Dong'men'!" In case our Ryuzoji family repents, the East Gate can kill me at any time! ”

Nabeshima Nobuo was young, so he didn't really understand what was going on, but when he heard the full moon say this, he also exclaimed, "I am also willing to be a hostage!" ”

Dong 'Gate' Qing looked at Xinsheng, smiled, and said to Yuanyue: "I don't want you to be a hostage, but I want you to promise me another thing." ”

Full Moon asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Dongmen' Qing said: "I want you and Longxin to be brothers, and swear never to invade each other!" ”

Full Moon glanced at Iekan, and saw the encouragement in his great-grandfather's eyes, so he said, "I do!" ”

Higashimen Kei asked Matsuura Takanobu again, and Matsuura Takashi said, "I am also willing." The East Gate celebrated and said: "If this is the case, then I will rest assured!" ”

Full Moon and Matsuura Takanobu were about to bow down, but the East Gate Kei stopped him and said, "Wait! This is not to be neglected! I would like to invite the nearby daimyo and wealthy families to send people to watch the ceremony as a way to show off this event! ”

And when they thought it was a happy event, they all praised it as good. Jia Kane said: "That's okay, before bowing, the full moon must be returned to the vulgar first." ”

At the moment, by the east 'gate' celebration and the dragon temple family and joint name, sent an invitation to invite the Ouchi family, the Otomo family, the Puchi family and other daimyo to send people to the Shuijiang City to watch the ceremony, at this time the full moon has been vulgar, changed the name Yinxin, and Matsuura Takanobu made a brother.

The East Gate Kei said to Matsuura Takanobu: "Matsuura-kun, I have a gift for you today." ”

Everyone asked what kind of gift it was, and Dongmenqing said: "It's this Shuijiang City!" ”

The people of the Ryuzoji family became nervous when they heard this, and Matsuura sighed, saying that he didn't dare to accept it. Dongmen' Qing smiled and said: "No matter how big my ship is, I can't take this city away, if I don't give it to you, who else can I give it to?" As for who you're going to give it to after I give it to you, then I don't care. ”

Matsuura Takanshin came to his senses, so he accepted it, and turned around and said to Yinxin of Ryuzoji Temple: "Today we are worshipping, and I also want to give you a gift, which is this Shuijiang City!" ”

The envoys of the princes heard that they were all good, and the Yinxin of the Longzao Temple was overjoyed, first thanked the sworn brothers, and then came to thank the east 'gate' to celebrate, and the east 'gate' celebrated: "You are willing to let me go, just don't hold grudges." ”

Yin Xin of Longzao Temple hurriedly said: "How can the small feud of a 'female' person be compared to the great grace of a city!" ”

Jia Kan also came to thank him, saying: "The resurrection of the dragon temple family depends on the benevolence of the East 'Gate' Lord!" ”

The two families dealt with the prisoners and surrendered the army first, and the team of Dongmenqing grew sharply after the first battle of Songpu, but the composition of the people who had just come to vote was too mixed, and it was too burdensome to raise so many people, so he wanted to do a favor and give this group of people to the Longzoji family. But among them, 200 people were unwilling and wanted to continue to follow the East 'Gate' Qing, and the East 'Gate' Qing asked Jia Jian and Jia Jian said: "Since this is their own choice, I naturally will not stop it." "The East 'Gate' Qing granted their request, and the rest of the people were all 'handed over' to the family.

On the same day, the east 'gate' Qingben 'handed over' the city defense of Shuijiang City, and the envoys of Daohe were all admired, and they all said that the characters of Shangbang were really broad-minded. Only the people of the Shao Er family secretly gritted their teeth.

Jia Jian noticed, thinking that the dragon temple family was newly defeated, if at this time the Shao Er family attacked again for fear that they would not be able to resist, so they stayed in the east 'gate' Qing to live in Shuijiang City for a few more days, to borrow his prestige to take the Shao Er family.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Wang Zhi sent someone to send an urgent letter, saying that the East China Sea heroes had gathered and had agreed to establish the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce, and asked Dongmen' Qing, Xu Yuanliang, and Wang Qingxi to go back quickly without delay.

When Dong'men Qingyi heard the news, where did he dare to delay? Then he came to say goodbye, and the family and the family struggled to stay, and the east 'gate' celebrated: "The family and the lord know that I have something urgent to leave, but still keep it like this, is it not to keep the guests, but to borrow my troops?" ”

Jia Jian sighed, which was considered a tacit acquiescence, and the east 'gate' Qing said: "It's just that I am really in a hurry, and it is not suitable to live here for a long time as a foreigner." Over there, I'm afraid I don't want to stay in Shuijiang City for a long time! So, what do you think of the eight cannons that I will lend you ten days and place them at the head of the city? ”

When he heard that he was willing to lend the cannon, he was happy at first, but when he thought about it, he only borrowed it for ten days, and then he turned worried, saying: "If there are only ten days, Shuijiang City will not be able to recover!" ”

The east 'gate' Qing said: "Within ten days, you rushed to work overnight and imitated the eight 'gates', isn't it?" ”

Jia Jian was surprised: "Imitation? Our craftsmen are afraid that they can't make it! Not to mention that it is only ten days! ”

The east 'gate' Qing said: "Why don't you turn your brains!" This imitation is not a real cannon! I put the cannon here, and after I left, I found an excuse every day and fired a few cannons to scare people, so that the nearby daimyo would know about it. You worked overnight and made a few fake doors. After ten days, I took advantage of the darkness of the night to replace the real cannons, and then transported the eight cannons disguised as cargo to Hirado and returned them to me. Although this fake cannon can't be taken seriously, as long as you handle it well, coupled with the efforts of the external 'handover', it will be no problem to bluff the young two family for a year and a half! ”

The family and Yinxin are overjoyed, and they are called a wonderful plan! Work began that night, and the most trusted people were selected to supervise the craftsmen, and the imitation cannons were rushed.

Dongmen' Qing called a few subordinates to say that they knew about it, and said: "These 'gates' cannons are very important to us, and we must not lose them!" Sweeping the faces of his subordinates, he said to Tang Hideyoshi: "Hideyoshi, you can leave the prime minister in this matter." ”

Tang Xiuji was overjoyed and thought: "I have made a lot of contributions this time, and he is finally willing to trust me!" He said: "Don't worry, Master Ship, I will definitely bring back these eight 'guns' completely!" I also heard the East Gate Kei say, "Daifu, you stay to assist Hideyoshi." Tang Xiuji flashed a trace of displeasure in his heart, thinking: "He didn't fully trust me after all, and he sent a difficult guy to keep an eye on me!" ”

Dongmen' Kei left the two stormtroopers of Shingoro and Shinrokuro to assist in this matter, and suddenly looked up and thought for a while, and said in his heart: "Although I have a few 'gate' cannons and two teams of muskets, they are all brought by Kavala and Brapa!" After arriving in Hirado, they also bought some muskets from the Franciscans, but they refused to sell them. I heard that artillery could be bought in Manraka, so I had to find a way to establish a trade route and buy more goods in the future. He thought again: "It's just that I went to Manraga to buy guns, and the distance between them is too far, and this money alone is not small." Moreover, the supply of goods is in the hands of the Francois people, and when they are really in a hurry, they may not be able to guarantee the supply. It's better to buy than to build! If Qing Huaxiang can make guns by himself, not only does he not have to be controlled by others, but he will sell the guns in the future, and this income alone will be unacceptable! He asked if there was anyone in the firm who knew how to make muskets and cannons.

Yu Buxi shook his head and said, "It's just a musket, I heard that there are people under the owner of Wufeng, I don't know if he is willing to lend it to us." As for the talent to build cannons, then you have to find it in Guangfu or Nanzhili! And most of them are talents from government-run workshops, so it's hard to get them. ”

The Ming Dynasty was a dynasty full of 'chaos', 'chaos' and hopes, and the Ming court was also a court full of contradictions and miracles. The imperial examinations held by the government were extremely rigid, but after Ren and Xuan, the folk scholarship was full of vitality because there was no political pressure! This dynasty has almost everything you need for talent! There are not only extremely conservative corrupt Confucians in the imperial court, but also talents with extremely open-minded ideas and long-term vision! It is precisely because of the existence of the latter kind of people that although Daming's science and technology were once backward, they are still keen to learn, especially in the southeast of Shinong Industry and Commerce, which reacts very quickly to new things from outside! After coming into contact with the Franco, as soon as he found that his weapons and equipment were outnumbered by his opponent, he immediately began to study the enemy's shipbuilding, casting guns, and gunpowder manufacturing technology.

At this time, the technical level of the Ming Dynasty and Western Europe was not far away, and there were many people of folk intelligence, so it didn't take long to imitate the "Francose machine", after the end of the first battle of Xicaowan, within two years, a new type of warship appeared in Nanzhili - the centipede warship. The so-called centipede battleship is that there are dozens of 'doors' cannons on both sides of the battleship, and the cannons stick out from the side side, and the shape of the ship looks like a hundred-legged centipede at a glance, so it gets its name. The appearance of this kind of warship marked at least two breakthroughs in China's imitation and improvement of the most advanced warships in Western Europe at that time: the first was a breakthrough in artillery manufacturing technology - without enough and strong enough artillery, the centipede battleship could not be formed; The second is a breakthrough in naval warfare technology, that is, the naval divisions of the Ming Dynasty have begun to pay attention to the method of broadside artillery bombardment.

These technologies may seem like nothing today, but they were extraordinary at the time. In particular, the handicraft industry supporting the manufacture of artillery is not available in all countries. Yu Buzhi is well-informed, so he knows a little bit of news about this, and knows that although there are such talents in the Ming Dynasty, most of them are distributed in Nanzhili and Guangfu, and as for Beijing, because it is too far away, it is not to be considered.

Dongmen' Qing tasted the benefits of firearms through this victory, and wanted to do something in this area, so when he asked, it was not surprising that it was difficult to hear it, and said: "I also know that it must be difficult, otherwise this firearm will be everywhere!" In the future, we should pay more attention to this, this is a big event, if there is progress, it will be of great help to our firm. ”

Lasso tried to speak several times but stopped halfway, Andrew couldn't help it, and asked, "Master Ship, it's too difficult to build cannons, but if I can help you find someone who can make muskets, what will you reward me?" ”

Dongmen' Qing was stunned and said with a smile: "If you can help me invite a master in this area, I will reward you with 1,000 taels of silver on the spot." ”

Andrew jumped up and said, "Good! You have to talk the talk! ”

Dongmen' Qingqi said: "Do you really have any news?" ”

Andrew snorted and said, "Actually, I also know a little bit about the principle of making muskets, but I don't have him to be 'fine'!" With his hand outstretched, he pointed at the cable.

Dongmen Qingwei was surprised, so he asked Lasso: "Can you make a musket?" ”

Lasso nodded and said, "Of course." ”

In this era, the damage rate of muskets is quite high, if the musketeers are on an expedition, they will not be able to find craftsmen who know how to repair firearms anytime and anywhere, and the Europeans come thousands of miles away, and it is impossible to send the muskets back to Western Europe for repair when they are broken, so musketeers in addition to learning how to use them, they generally learn how to repair, with the complexity of the musket process in this era, from knowing how to repair to knowing how to make it, there is only a step in between. Lasso was born as a gunner, and he was quite talented in this area, so he not only knew how to make guns, but also knew a little about the principles of artillery manufacturing.

Dongmenqing listened to it for a while, only understood five or six percent, and was very happy, and said: "I didn't expect you to have such talents!" That's good! When I return to Hirado, I'll gather some ingenious craftsmen to give you command! You'll be in charge of this from now on! When the guns are done, I have another reward! ”

Lasso listened and said, "Then the next time the master goes to the night, can you take me with you?" ”

Dongmen' Qing smiled and said, "If you can really make a musket, I can let people come here at night!" ”

Lasso was very happy to hear this, and Andrew asked, "Boss, what about my 1,000 taels ......of silver?"

Tang Xiuji snorted and said, "You only said one word, and you dared to ask for a thousand taels of silver!" ”

Andrew was a little unhappy when he heard this, and Dongmenqing smiled: "I can't chase the horse after my word!" Since I promised you, don't say 1,000 taels, even 10,000 taels won't be bad! Feel relieved! I'll give it to you when I return to Hirado! ”

Andrew jumped up again with joy and said, "I knew that the master was a man of his word. ”
