Chapter 191: Want to Buy Weapons?

In the concept of people in this era, the country and the nation can be thrown aside, as long as you touch my interests, you will still kill the national hero.

For example, Lu Xiangsheng fought against the Qing army, and Yang Sichang fought peace. You Lu Xiangsheng can fight again, no matter how good a man is, you dare to sing against the stage and still be killed by Yang Sichang.

Wang Yue didn't care about the Zheng family's movements, and the Tiance Army had its own set of security regulations, especially outside the territory, which was procedural.

On the third day of the merchandise exhibition, a special guest, Matsuura Kushin, the lord of the Hirado Domain, arrived.

Kushin Matsuura, who shaved his head and dressed as a samurai, is a middle-aged man. He left his servants behind and took two guards to the ship by the gangway.

He learned the etiquette of the Ming people, and saluted Wang Yue with a fist: "Matsuura Jiuxin, the lord of the Hirado Domain, has seen Wang Sihua Wang. ”

Matsuura Jiuxin's official words are very blunt, and he even has a Hokkien accent, which seems to be greatly influenced by Fujian merchants.

Wang Yue also smiled and hugged his fists and said, "I didn't expect the feudal lord to be able to come, disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

Matsuura Kushin said with a smile: "We Japanese people respect heroes the most in our lives, and I heard that Lord Wang, who defeated the Tatars, is here, and I want to come to see him anyway." ”

The Japanese in this time and space still admired the culture of the Central Plains very much, so they called the Manchus barbarians and Tatars.

Wang Yue didn't know if what he said was true or not, so he politely led him to the reception room, that is, the conference room, and was accompanied by Li Zixiong, Wei Xiaoliang and others.

Matsuura Jiuxin was attracted by the modern facilities in the conference room, and he couldn't understand it. I thought that this big iron ship was different, but I didn't expect the internal facilities to be so luxurious. The bright stainless steel tables and chairs, large-screen monitors, intricate glass chandeliers, indoor carpets, etc., made him breathtaking, admiring the wealth of the Ming Dynasty, and having an intuitive understanding of Wang Yue's strength.

After he sat down, he carefully held the glass teacup and complimented: "I really didn't expect Lord Wang to be so young and promising. ”

Wang Yue smiled and said: "It's just a little lucky, it's not young and promising." ”

Matsuura Kushin asked, "Is Lord Wang's visit to Japan just for business?" Is there anything I need help from the Matsuura family? ”

He came to see Wang Yue this time, of course, he didn't come to chase stars, he admired heroes and heroes or something, it was just polite words, not to mention that Wang Yue was not so famous, he came for Wang Yue's amazing achievements in Beijing.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty has been pressing the Ming Dynasty for decades, and Wang Yue's sudden outburst made Matsuura Jiuxin very curious. I heard that it was because of the sharp weapons, so he hoped to learn from Wang Yue, so as to strengthen the strength of the domain and enhance the voice of the domain in the Edo shogunate.

The feudal domain of Japan is equivalent to the vassal states of ancient China, and the feudal lords are called daimyos. During the Edo shogunate period, those who knew 10,000 koku or more were called daimyos. At this time, there were more than 200 daimyo in Japan, which were basically divided into daimyo of kin-feudal clans, daimyo of pedigree, and daimyo of foreign daimyos.

The political system of the Edo period was the shogunate system, and the Tokugawa shogunate and feudal towns jointly administered Japan.

The Hirado Domain belonged to the Daimyo of the Outer Kind, and Chiyuki 63,000 Stone, was a daimyo who was forced to submit in the Battle of Sekigahara, and was not trusted by the Tokukang family. Compared to the Maeda Toshiie of the Kaga Domain, the Maeda Toshiya of the Satsuma Domain, the Shimazu Tadashi of the Satsuma Domain, the Shimazu Tadashi Domain, and the Date Masamune of the Sendai Domain, had 625,000 koku, so the strength of the Hirado Domain was quite weak.

The Matsuura family was actually a group of fierce people, who led Chinese pirates to Hirado, and then made a big deal, and even followed the Chinese pirates around plundering China and Korea, and when Japan invaded Korea, the Matsuura family also served as a pioneer.

It's a pity that in the Battle of Sekigahara, they were on the wrong side. As a result, the Tokugawa army was victorious, and although the Matsuura family managed to keep their territory, the Tokugawa family lost trust in them.

Now the Tokugawa shogunate has made a motion to further close the country, and even to move the only treaty port from Hirado to Nagasaki, which is indeed the case in history. Therefore, Matsuura Jiu's confidence was anxious and he was unwilling to let go of any opportunity to increase his strength.

Wang Yue said: "Oh, there is indeed a place where Matsuura-kun needs help. I need a lot of copper, how much do I want, I don't know if there's a way? ”

The industry of the starting point city needs a large amount of copper, although it can be obtained from modern times, Wang Yue still hopes to solve it in this time and space and establish a channel cycle. Japan is rich in silver and copper, and Iwami Ginzan is a large producer.

Matsuura Jiuxin immediately said: "Lord Wang wants to buy copper, and our Matsuura family can raise supplies for you, and the price is absolutely fair, but there is a request below." ”

Wang Yue comprehended, this is the main purpose of Matsupu Jiuxin's visit today, right? He asked, "I wonder what Matsuura-kun wants?" Just say. ”

Matsuura Jiuxin smiled and said, "I heard that Lord Wang defeated the Tatar army of 100,000 with thousands of people in the capital and killed countless enemies, all because of the sharp weapons. So I want to buy some weapons and ordnance from Lord Wang, I wonder if Lord Wang can be accommodating? ”

Regarding the relationship between the Hirado Domain and the Tokugawa Shogunate, Wang Yue also checked some information before he came, and he knew the history of the relocation of the foreign port to Nagasaki in the future. Matsuura Kushin wants to purchase weapons and increase his own force, which should be a subconscious behavior, not to start a war with the shogunate, because the balance of power is too great.

What if the Hirado clan's military force grew enough to support their ambitions? Will Japan still be as calm as it is now? It's a pity that the basic plate of the Hirado Domain is too small, and it is not possible unless it is equipped with the standard weapons of the Heavenly Ce Army.

Wang Yue thought for a while and said, "If Songpu Jun wants to buy weapons, of course he can, but it will take half a year. Because we have a limited quantity, it takes time to make it for Matsuura-kun. ”

Matsuura Kushin was overjoyed and asked, "I don't know what kind of weapon it is, and how powerful is it?" Is it the weapons that your soldiers are carrying? ”

Wang Yue smiled and said, "It's not the weapons used by our soldiers, but other weapons." There were artillery, flintlock pistols, plate armor and blades. ”

ArtilleryHe planned to use a solid steel cannon, which was lighter than the bronze cannon, and with a more powerful propellant, it could be fired farther and more powerful than the artillery of the plane.

The flintlock pistol is fired with modern flint, and the firing rate can exceed 90 percent, which is far from being comparable to the firing rate of 50 or 60 percent of the flintlock pistol in this space-time space, plus the addition of seamless steel pipes, the power is also considerable, of course, there is no fixed bullet.

In this era, there are wars all over the world, the Thirty Years' War in Europe has not yet ended, and foreign trade weapons are still very marketable. In the future, the servant army will also be armed, so a simplified version of the firearms unit will also be available. Many wars against indigenous people do not have to be fought by themselves.
