Dominate Kyushu and dominate the world.

How exciting, how exciting!

Is Sorin Otomo excited?

He wasn't thrilled at all!

What are you kidding, he can't protect himself at this time, and he still hopes to dominate Kyushu and dominate the world.

He was just taken aback, and then said excitedly: "Thanks to the lord of your family, if I can dominate Kyushu, I will naturally make friends with the lord of your family and get along with Daming, but unfortunately, I have more than enough heart and not enough strength." ”

Unexpectedly, Wang Zhi still said mysteriously: "I naturally mentioned this to our family master, so our family master decided to sell you something good." ”

When Otomo Zonglin heard this, he was stunned again, selling him something good?

Is it possible to unify Kyushu by buying something?

He was stunned for a moment, and then blurted out, "What is it?" ”

Wang Zhi pretended to have an arrogant expression and said triumphantly: "Iron cannon, a standard iron cannon cast by the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Iron Cannon!

This thing is indeed a good thing, at this time, there are not many princes in Dongying who can cast an iron cannon, so to speak, as soon as the iron cannon sounds, the timid will be scared.

The power of the iron cannon is too great, the range is much farther than the bow and arrow, the arrow shot by the bow and arrow can be dodged or directly split with a knife, the cannonball of the iron cannon can dodge a few, as for the knife to split, it is not to mention that the cannonball is impossible to be split, but the knife will definitely break.

However, Otomo Zonglin also knows that the accuracy of the iron cannon is not very good, and in order to truly achieve the effect of defeating the enemy, there must be at least dozens of them, and a few or a dozen or a dozen can at most scare those local wealthy clans with only a few hundred people under their hands, as for the daimyo of thousands or even tens of thousands, more than a dozen iron cannons can't scare people.

Of course, no matter how many doors there are in this thing, it is better to have them than not at all, even if there are only a few doors or a dozen doors, placing it on the wall of Xishan City can also play a pretty good defensive effect.

He was a little excited: "Iron cannon? How many cannons are you going to sell to me? ”

Wang Zhi deliberately hung his appetite and said: "This depends on how much silver Your Excellency can come up with, don't you ask how much an iron cannon costs?" ”

Silver?

This thing, to be honest, Dongying is really not lacking.

Silver is valuable, but in the eyes of the princes of Dongying, silver is not as important as grain, because silver can be dug up, but grain cannot be grown for a while, and many times, even if you have silver in your hand, you can't buy food.

Just like this Wang Zhi, people can indeed get grain from Daming, but the fleet under the hands of others can pull so much grain at a time, if you don't have a good relationship with others, people won't sell you food at all.

In short, silver is not a rare thing in the eyes of the princes of Toei, but the Otomo clan is a wealthy family from the Kamakura shogunate, and it has a history of more than 300 years, so they naturally have no shortage of silver.

Otomo Zonglin didn't care and said: "It's easy to say silver or something, just say how many iron cannons your family master can sell to me." ”

This guy is really inhumane, and he is boundless!

Wang Zhi said unhurriedly: "This is not in a hurry, I brought a sample this time, do you want to inspect the goods before the lord to see how powerful it is?" ”

And samples?

Then naturally you have to take a look.

To be honest, Otomo Sorin's really hadn't seen with his own eyes how the iron cannon fired, because the iron cannon had only been introduced to Dongying not long after this time, and no one in their Otomo clan could forge a real iron cannon.

He immediately got up from the ground and said impatiently, "Okay, let's go and see it now." ”

Wang Zhi was not verbose, and immediately took Otomo Zonglin out of the mansion, invited him to get into his carriage, and then went straight out of the city.

He didn't come alone, he brought dozens of carriages alone, and there were as many as a thousand guards, and these horses naturally couldn't all rush into the city, and most of his subordinates were staying outside the city at this time.

Otomo Zonglin followed Wang Zhi to the outside of the city, and when he saw the long convoy, he couldn't help but show a trace of envy in his eyes.

This guy is really rich, and he brought so many carriages with him when he went out casually.

You must know that carriages are quite rare in Dongying, because Dongying war horses are scarce, and it is great for ordinary generals to have a war horse, as for using horses to pull the carriage, it is a bit of a tyrannical thing.

Wang Zhi didn't invite Otomo Zonglin to come to see the carriage, he took Otomo Zonglin to a special carriage, and then pointed to the wooden box on it and said, "This is the standard iron cannon of the Ming Ministry of Industry." ”

Baga, what's so nice about the box, Otomo Zonglin said a little impatiently: "Then ask the owner of the ship to show me." ”

Wang Zhi unhurriedly summoned a captain of the guard, explained carefully, and then stood there with a smile and waited.

The captain of the guard was not in a hurry to order someone to open the wooden box, he first ordered his subordinates to carry a few large wooden planks half a foot square and run to more than two hundred steps away to form a patchwork phalanx, and erect it there, and then he personally took out the short blade on his waist and carefully pried open the cover of the wooden box, and slowly uncovered the oil paper on it.

Otomo Zonglin couldn't wait to take a look, and a stunned expression suddenly appeared on his face.

This thing, it seems to be different from what he imagined, although their Otomo clan can't cast an iron cannon, he has seen the iron cannon cast by others, that guy, the surface is basically like a toad skin, ugly to death, which is like this Ming Ministry of Industry standard iron cannon, the surface is smooth like a mirror.

He was in a daze there, and the captain of the guard had already instructed his men to skillfully fix the cannon on the carriage, and then turned the head of the carriage, pointed the muzzle of the cannon in the direction of the wooden plank in the distance, and carefully adjusted it, and then took matters into his own hands and led the people to load the ammunition.

After a while, the ammunition had been loaded, and the captain of the guard asked Wang Zhi with his eyes, and seeing that Wang Zhi nodded slightly, he did not hesitate to take out the fire fold and ignite the fuse on the barrel.

With a loud "boom", a cannonball flew into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, a wooden board was smashed and scattered in the middle of several planks erected in the distance, and debris flew up.

This is accurate!

This power!

Otomo Sorin, stunned again.

Seeing this, Wang Zhi couldn't help but ask proudly: "Your Excellency, how is this iron cannon?" ”

When Otomo Zonglin heard this, he came back to his senses and said excitedly: "Okay, very good, it's just great, I want all the money in your family's master's hands." ”

Wang Zhi reminded with a smile: "Your Excellency, this thing is not cheap. ”

Otomo Zonglin didn't care and said: "You say, how much is a door, I have to decide this thing." ”

Wang Zhi pretended to be solemn and said: "According to the price of the Ming Ministry of Industry, it is one thousand taels of silver, but it is not easy for our family to get this thing out, so we have to add two hundred taels to each door." ”

He is talking nonsense, Yang Cong doesn't need to spend twelve taels of silver to get this kind of iron cannon, and the extra two hundred taels is just the hard money he added to himself, which Yang Cong also agreed, after all, he can't let him run errands for nothing.

One thousand two hundred and one doors is a bit expensive, but compared to the role of the iron cannon, this bit of silver is nothing at all, Otomo Zonglin said without hesitation: "One thousand two hundred and twenty-one doors, right, okay, no problem, how many do you have?" ”

Wang Zhi pretended to be tentative: "It depends on how many doors Your Excellency wants." ”

Otomo Zonglin thought about it for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "One thousand gates, do you have one?" ”

A thousand doors?

You're afraid you're thinking about fart!
