Mao Lie is also quite famous in Dongying, because Wang Zhi has too much business in Dongying, and he often lacks skills, and many things are handled by Mao Lie for him.

Therefore, Mao Lie is also a great figure in the eyes of the princes of Dongying, and his status is second only to Wang Zhi.

It's like the Longzao Temple clan, they haven't seen Wang Zhi a few times at all, but this Mao Lie often comes to negotiate business with them on behalf of Wang Zhi, so to speak, in their eyes, this Mao Lie is almost the same as Wang Zhi.

Therefore, the Ryuzoji clan attaches great importance to the arrival of Mao Lie, and the head of the family, Ryuzoji Takashin, also welcomes Wang Zhi out of the city in person, just like Otomo Zonglin, and also prepares a "sumptuous" banquet.

I won't say much about this Dongying banquet, in short, Mao Lie is not eye-catching, and even Longzao Temple Longxin is a little unate.

There's no way, the Otomo clan has hit the Hizen country, and the Ryuzoji clan is facing the disaster of extermination, so it's strange that he can have an appetite.

After hurriedly toasting three glasses of wine, he couldn't help but ask: "Young Ship Owner, I heard that the iron cannon of the Otomo clan was bought from your Daming, I don't know if the young ship owner has a way, help me get hundreds of doors." ”

Hehe, is this guy quite good.

Mao Lie naturally came over at this time to sell the iron cannon, but there was a problem he had to make clear in advance, otherwise, the princes of Dongying should be suspicious.

This problem is the problem of the division of forces, he has to dissociate himself from Wang Zhi, otherwise, Wang Zhi sold iron cannons to the Otomo clan, and he sold iron cannons to the Ryuzoji clan, and the two of them are in a gang, isn't this clear that he instigated others to work hard, and then reaped the profits of the fishermen himself.

Even if the princes of Dongying are idiots, they will eventually react.

Therefore, he must explain clearly that he and Wang Zhi are no longer in the same group, and even have a bit of a hostile relationship.

He pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then said embarrassedly: "Your Excellency, the name of this young ship owner has become a thing of the past, from now on, I hope that Your Excellency will not call me a young ship owner anymore, because I have defected to our Ming Cabinet First Auxiliary Zhang Bangqi Zhang, and organized my own fleet." ”

What does this mean, you're already on your own?

When Longzao Temple Takashi heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Mao Lie's words sound simple, but they are very informative.

What this guy means, it seems that Wang Zhi's fleet has been judged, and Zhang Bangqi, the first assistant of the Ming cabinet, seems to be a little bit at odds with Yang Cong, the master of the Ming Dynasty.

You traitor, I'm embarrassed to say it!

Ryuzosi Takashi secretly despised himself in confidence, but on the surface, he pretended to be indifferent: "The so-called people have their own aspirations, and Your Excellency the shipowner is the dragon and phoenix among the people at a glance, so naturally he will not be subservient to people forever, understand, understand." I wonder if the shipowner's Majesty can help me get some iron cannons, you know, the Otomo clan is almost coming to Nagasaki, and without iron cannons, it will be difficult for us to resist their attack. ”

He knows that the first assistant of the cabinet is also a great official in Daming, and he is almost equivalent to the regent Guan Bai of Dongying.

Sure enough, Mao Lie nodded without hesitation and said: "Our family master naturally has a way to get this iron cannon, but at this price, I'm afraid it will be a bit high." ”

When Longzao Temple Longxin heard this, he couldn't help but say excitedly: "The price is not a problem, as long as you can get an iron cannon, you say, how much is a one, I want to order five hundred first." ”

He has already figured out at this time that the reason why the Otomo clan is invincible is to rely on the iron cannon bought from the Ming Dynasty, as for what kind of fierce general, it is a fart, if there is no iron cannon to suppress the defenders on the city wall, no matter how fierce the fierce general can only eat rolling stone and wood under the city wall.

If he also has an iron cannon, the Otomo clan is a joke, what is the "God of War" Otomo Sorin, he Ryuzoji Takanobu is the real god of war.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Mao Lie said a little twisted: "This, Your Excellency, you may also know that our Master Taishi has already sold all the iron cannons in the inventory of the Ministry of Industry to the Dayou clan through Wang Zhi, and at this time, our Ming Ministry of Industry has no inventory at all, five hundred, we can't get it for the time being." ”

Baga, I can't get you to say a fart, play with me!

Ryuzoji Takanobu held back his anger and said in a slightly pleading tone: "Your Excellency the shipowner, you must help, if there is no iron cannon, we will not be able to stop the attack of the Otomo clan at all." ”

Mao Lie hesitated for a moment, and then said calmly: "If it's only a hundred, we can think of a way, because at this time, our Daming Ministry of Industry is rushing to produce a batch of iron cannons, the number is one hundred, and it is almost completed, Your Excellency, do you want it, if you want, I will get it for you in a few days." ”

A hundred?

That's too little!

But at this time, there is no way for Takanobu of Ryuzoji Temple, no matter what, he can only buy it first, after all, as long as there is an iron cannon, he has hope, and if there is no iron cannon, he will not be able to resist the attack of the Otomo clan at all.

Thinking of this, he nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, you say, how much is a door." ”

Mao Lie pretended to twist and said: "Your Excellency, you can inquire about it, the iron cannon that the Dayou clan bought from Wang Zhi is 1,200 taels and 11 art, but that is the inventory of our Ming Ministry of Industry, just get it out secretly, and this time, we have to get out the iron cannon that the Ministry of Industry is rushing to make for you, which is much more difficult, so this batch of iron cannons will cost at least 2,000 taels and one doors." ”

Two thousand taels for one door, one hundred doors is two hundred thousand taels, this price is really a bit scary.

However, at this time, Ryuzoji Takanobu doesn't care about money or not, if the Otomo clan destroys them, they are likely to be dead, and what is the use of keeping money.

He still nodded without hesitation and said: "Two thousand taels is two thousand taels, I hope you can get it quickly, at this time, the Otomo clan coalition army is almost repaired, if they attack all the way to the west, within ten days, they will hit Nagasaki." ”

When Mao Lie heard this, he nodded solemnly and said: "Your Excellency can rest assured, as long as you pay for it, it will be three days soon, or five days later, and we will definitely be able to send you the iron cannon, but this is not enough to have an iron cannon, there must be cannonballs, if you can, it is best to match the artillery mount." ”

Immediately afterwards, he explained in detail to Takanobu Ryuzoji the consumption of shells and the role of the gun carriage.

Ryuzoji Takanobu naturally agreed without hesitation.

Cannonballs, ten taels of silver each, no problem.

Gun carriage, a hundred taels of silver, no problem.

The family is dying, and he still cares about this bit of silver.

Four days later, a hundred brand-new iron cannons arrived in Nagasaki, and by this time the Otomo clan had indeed swung westward, all the way to Nagasaki Castle.

With both sides having iron artillery, what will happen to the outcome?

Yang Cong didn't care how they won or lost, he only knew that now, there was another good show to watch.
