Chapter 21 The three-foot iron pot is replaced by a musket
Guan Shanyue saw that Wei Liangqing was gone, put back on the chair, and whistled a hooligan whistle at Wei Zhongxian with a playful face, and complained: "I said to let you get some weapons first, but you didn't listen, and now you have made more than 1,000 large iron pots with a three-foot caliber to sell to whom?" ”
Wei Zhongxian let out a long sigh, "Don't talk nonsense here, I don't have a backache when I stand and talk, I'm not an immortal, who knew that Houjin and the Mongols from the Chahar Department would block the way south to Daming so quickly." Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info and say that you know a fart, this iron pot is the traditional export material of our Ming Dynasty, and those barbarians overseas are rushing to ask for it, this is a hot seller. The Japanese have to use fifty katanas to exchange for this three-foot caliber iron pot, you and I Wei Zhongxian are stupid, I have nothing to do to make so many iron pots to watch and play. Hey, hurry up or miss the best time, it's better to ship it to Yulinbao Station as soon as possible and sell it cheaply, and it's good to exchange for some food......"
When Guan Shanyue heard that this big iron pot was so valuable, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly waved her hand to interrupt Wei Zhongxian's complaints, "Grandpa Wei, what did you just say?" ”
Wei Zhongxian glanced at Guan Shanyue, thinking that he was going to make fun of himself, so he replied angrily: "I said that I missed a good time, and it would be good to ship it to Yulin Fort and sell it as soon as possible." ”
Guan Shanyue put away her banter and hurriedly shook her head, "No, it's the last sentence, how many Japanese knives can be exchanged for a three-foot iron pot?" ”
"One iron pot can be exchanged for fifty Japanese swords, this is a recognized price, is there any problem?" Wei Zhongxian squinted his eyes at Guan Shanyue, thinking that this kid was going to raise the bar with him again, and he was ready to fight back at any time.
Who knew that Guan Shanyue did not stalk as usual, but counted with his fingers with a serious face, and his eyes were as straight as a dog seeing stinky, "Father-in-law Wei, if this is sold to the Japanese, we will make a fortune!" ”
Wei Zhongxian rolled his eyes, hugged the big tea bowl full of hot water and snorted coldly, "Now that it's a fart, you have to transport it out, and now people can't get through it with a thousand iron pots." ”
Guan Shanyue tilted her head and smiled at Wei Zhongxian, "That's not necessarily, God can't starve to death, blind sparrows, our large group of living people can suffocate urine?" ”
Wei Zhongxian, who was laughing, had a numb scalp, "Brother Guan, you are getting more and more disgusting now, one Liangqing is enough for me, don't make a mess." If you have something to say, don't sell it. ”
Guan Shanyue stroked her hair, held her chin with her hand and posed in a pose that she thought was very handsome, and said arrogantly: "Hehe, I think we can now move away from the main force of Houjin from the northeast, enter Kuyi Island from the direction of Beishan Jurchen, and trade with the Japanese on the territory of the Kuwu people." As long as we take this line, with such a high profit, I believe that those Japanese maritime merchants will try their best to squeeze their heads to run towards us, and then we don't have to worry about how to cross the gold, and then the Japanese should worry about it. ”
Wei Zhongxian didn't expect Guan Shanyue's idea to be so wild, he felt that this kid was simply pretending to have a living map in his head, "Admire, really admire, your kid's idea is really bold." Needless to say, there are no defenders of Houjin on Kuyi Island? ”
Guan Shanyue just has a general concept of the current situation and major events, and he is not clear about the specific time point and form, "Oh, we who are afraid of wolves and tigers in the past can't do anything, let's take a step and see if we can't!" Now that Houjin is fighting to the death with Daming, there will definitely not be too many defenders in the rear, and it is estimated that there will not be too many defenders in a place like Kuyi Island where there is no threat. I'll lead the team myself, and I'll give him all clicks when the time comes. ”
Wei Zhongxian was dumbfounded when he heard this, "You just came back and went out a few days ago, so you can't stop for a while?" ”
Guan Shanyue shook her hand, "The current form is changing rapidly, just like you didn't expect Houjin to cut off our back road." We can't sit back and eat empty, if Houjin frees his hands, he will definitely clean us up, not to mention that there is a fierce Lin Dan Khan next to us, if he tears his face with the Ming Dynasty, he will definitely not let us go. Don't talk about it, I'm going to pack my things and get ready to leave tomorrow. ”
The next day, Guan Shanyue set off with more than a thousand Daning Iron Horsemen dressed in black under Zhao Ruixue's complaining gaze.
At the beginning, Guan Shanyue was still nervous, resting during the day and marching at night, and after bypassing Houjin's heavy precautions, his courage became bigger. Because Houjin almost did not fortify in the direction of the Beishan Jurchen in the east, they deliberately made a detour, and the downward speed immediately increased. It took less than a month to reach the outside of Kuyi Island.
Guan Shanyue, who was tanned into a black monkey, left more than 200 cavalry to hide in the deep mountains and old forests, and took more than 800 cavalry to buy off the Kuwu people to the southern end of Kuyi Island.
He was originally ready to fight to the death with the Houjin defenders, but after inquiring with the Kuwuren, he learned that the hundreds of Houjin defenders had withdrawn seven or eight years earlier. Now they immediately became bolder, and they were not willing to run around with a thousand iron pots on their backs, so they singled out a few shrewd men to follow the Kuwu people to find Japanese merchants to trade by boat, and set up camp next to the gathering place of the Kughu.
The Kuwu people lived the life of a primitive society, and their leader also took a fancy to the iron pot in Guan Shanyue's hand and knew that it was a good thing, but they really couldn't exchange anything decent except seafood.
In the end, the cheeky Guan Shanyue felt that he couldn't help eating and drinking in vain, so he made an exception and gave him eight iron pots, of course, he also wanted more than 200 marksmen with hundreds of shots.
Half a month later, the Japanese merchants did not come, and those shrewd men used a bag of iron pot fragments to invite a suspicious Spanish businessman, Francisco, from Ezo Island.
This Francisco has always wanted to do business with the Ming Dynasty, and before leaving, he learned Chinese with the missionaries who returned from the Ming Dynasty, but when his luck was bad, he didn't say that the Ming Dynasty didn't bird, and even the Japanese shogunate didn't bird him, and he was forced to the vicinity of Ezo Island.
Suddenly a red-haired ghost came and startled everyone present, after listening to the introduction of the two men, Guan Shanyue was like a nobody, spit out the fish bones in her mouth, stretched out her greasy hand and shook hands with the foreigner, "I didn't expect you to be a foreigner who can speak Chinese, it's really fateful to meet thousands of miles away." Without further ado, let's take a look at the goods first! ”
After saying that, Guan Shanyue led Francisco to a pile of iron pots hidden in the woods.
Looking at the patches of iron pots, the red-haired Francisco's eyes lit up, and he said in a stiff Chinese dialect: "Great, great, now I don't have to go home empty-handed." No matter how to sell these iron pots, I want them. ”
Guan Shanyue pursed her lips with a look of disdain, "Mr. Francisco, this is nine hundred and ninety-two pots, can you eat it?" ”
Francisco said as he took out a flintlock pistol with a short handle from under his waist clothes, held it in his hand and shook it, "I have a flintlock pistol, change it with you!" ”
Guan Shanyue was startled, he thought that Francisco was going to finish black with him, took the flintlock pistol as big as a kitchen knife in his hand and turned it upside down, this was the first time he came into contact with the real flintlock pistol, and he liked this exquisite flintlock pistol when he got it in his hand.
In order to facilitate bargaining, he raised his gun and pretended to be sophisticated and aimed at the depths of the forest, "This thing can be hooked, and self-defense is okay, but it is too short to fight." It's fast, it's accurate, it's windproof and rainproof, it's a good thing, but I don't want this thing to be of much use. Besides, you're crazy and want to exchange a flintlock pistol for a thousand iron pots? ”
When Francisco saw that Guan Shanyue casually said a little bit about the flint gun, he was shocked in his heart, and immediately gave up the idea of sitting on the ground and quickly shook his head and said: "My lord, you misunderstood, I still have two hundred spears on my ship, I want to exchange these guns for your nine hundred and ninety-two iron pots, what do you think?" ”
In fact, the price is quite reasonable, an iron pot sold to Japan is one tael of silver, five taels of silver and a flint gun, and it is estimated that Francisco really can't find a buyer to keep the price so low.
The man who went to find someone had already told Guan Shanyue that Francisco had a Hongyi cannon on his ship, and after glancing at Francisco, he decided to take the opportunity to blackmail, "Add another Hongyi cannon." ”
Francisco was anxious at that time, "Sir, these flintlock pistols are for the noble knights, I bought them from the craftsmen at a high price, and the cannons are used by us at sea to save our lives, there are only 4 in total, you will make me lose all my money, it is better to kill me!" ”
Guan Shanyue licked her lips and said categorically: "Our iron pot is not as bad as the iron pot in Guangdong in the Ming Dynasty, without a Hongyi cannon, you also have the ability to protect yourself when you encounter pirates." If you agree, our iron pot will be for you alone, and we will never sell it to anyone else, and this condition will be worth the price of a cannon! If you don't agree, we'll find another buyer. ”
Seeing Guan Shanyue's dismissal of such tempting conditions, Francisco was tempted at that time, and after thinking about it, he immediately agreed, "My lord, you have grasped the weakness of my human nature, I have to choose to agree, and I am happy to cooperate." ”
Guan Shanyue knew that Francisco would agree, and smiled slightly and took out the map that had been drawn a long time ago, "You hurry up and copy a copy, and we should keep the transaction confidential." Next time, you can go directly to Duoyanwei to find me with your things, and I'll give you a cheaper price when the time comes. We mainly need weapons now, you can bring as many as you want, and you can bring me more cannons or something, so that you can make a lot of money when the time comes. ”
Francisco's face was like a chrysanthemum, and he felt that he was not far from getting rich when he climbed such a big family.
Guan Shanyue jumped out of a dozen clever and cleverly followed the gunners on Francisco's ship to learn how to aim and use the Hongyi cannon
Don't worry about Duo Yanwei and say goodbye to Francisco, Guan Shanyue took this group of Daning Iron Horsemen and two hundred bitter vulture marksmen to run back the way they came.
When Guan Shan Yuefeng was about to arrive at Duoyanwei, he saw that Neiqi of the Zalut Department and Setel of the Bahrain Department were also leading their troops outside the city to fight fiercely with more than 2,000 cavalry of the unknown department.
Immediately, he was anxious, and shouted at the thousand Daning iron horsemen behind him: "The gunner immediately bombarded these sons of bitches, and the other brothers showed their weapons and followed me to cut off their back road." Win and eat meat, lose ****, rush! After saying that, he took the lead and rushed towards the group of Mongolian cavalry who did not know where they came.
