Today's black powder is less powerful, and the shorter the barrel of the short-fire gun, the less powerful it is. However, the distance between Ji Gang and Kameji was only a few meters, and before the bullets could fly, they all hit Kameji's head.

No matter how powerful it is, it's a hot weapon, and several droplet-shaped bullets are deeply embedded in Kameji's head. Without even saying a word, Kameji fell to the ground, and the hand covering his face slipped away, revealing a bloody face.

Reiko Yamana was so frightened by this terrifying picture that she covered her mouth and didn't dare to look at it. Her heart was even more shocking, in her opinion, Gui Er was as fierce as a vicious wolf, but this vicious wolf that she thought could not be touched hard, was shot by Ji Gang, and she could only lie on the ground and convuls.

Everyone was frightened by this change, and they didn't come back to their senses for a while, looking at the gun in Ji Gang's hand in surprise.

Although Kameji was unconscious, his body was still twitching. The bloody face, a shriveled eyeball that was blinded and fell out of the socket, and the bloody hole in the neck that kept bleeding, even Yamana couldn't bear to look at it.

Ji Gang kicked Kameji's body with his foot, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Family Master, I'm so sorry for letting you lose a samurai. ”

Only then did Yamana Clan react and asked in surprise, "What is in the hands of Commander Ji?" But the firebolt? ”

Ji Gang nodded, raised the fire gun in his hand again, and the frightened samurai hurriedly surrounded the Yamana clan in the middle, and looked at Ji Gang in fear one by one.

No, it should be looking at the gun in his hand.

Ji Gang smiled, stuffed the firearm back into the saddle, and gave the two men a look, telling them to be optimistic about the gun.

Today's short-fire guns, especially this kind of tap fire, are still in the stage of secrecy, and he can't let the Dongying people get this gun and learn this technology for his own reasons.

Although Dongying can't make this kind of barrel at present, it is not difficult for them to learn the technology of making fire caps and prevent this kind of fire caps.

After putting away the gun, he smiled at Yamana Shiri empty-handed: "This is the fire gun that my Ming Dynasty has just produced now, and my family master has rewarded me with one, so I will test it today." ”

Yamana Shiri said with some excitement: "I have heard for a long time that the Ming Dynasty has firearms, which are extremely powerful, and they will defeat the Mengyuan people who are riding on horses. However, that kind of firearm still needs to be ignited by an arquebus, but this one of Commander Ji does not need to be ignited. ”

Ji Gang nodded and said: "It is precisely because it is not easy to make that it is extremely precious and despised as a treasure." ”

Yamana pushed away the samurai in front of him, walked in front of Ji Gang, and asked with a nervous expression, "Can I buy this thing?" If you can buy it, you will do whatever it takes! ”

Ji Gang shook his head and said, "This matter is difficult to do, but I can help the head of the family to ask, that kind of arquebus, it should be possible to buy it in small quantities." ”

"That's enough...... Yamana Clan's eyes glanced at Ji Gang's horses, and said with some reluctance: "I'll entrust this matter to the commander, if you can buy it, the women of the Yamana family are up to you." ”

The Yamana family is a branch of the famous Ouchi clan in Toei. During the Meitoku period on the eve of the unification of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Western Kingdom had a great guardian Daimyo Yamana clan, and after the death of Yamana Tokiyoshi, the opposition between his son Yamana Tokiki and the division of the family Mitsuyuki and Shikiyoshi was skillfully exploited by the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and in the 2nd year of Meitoku, Yamana Tokishi agreed that Yamana Tokishi would send troops to defeat Yamana Mitsuyuki and Yamana Shikiyoshi.

As a result of the war, Yamana Mitsuyuki and Yamana Kiyoshi were defeated and died, and the power of the Daimyo Yamana clan, which was once known as the 1/6 hall in the western country and even in the whole of Japan, was greatly weakened. Yoshihiro Ouchi was dismissed from the post of guardian of the six countries of Kohozen, Izumi, and Kii for his merits in the Meitoku Rebellion.

Until the first year of Yongle, after Yoshihiro's death, the governor of the Ouchi clan was succeeded by Yoshihiro's younger brother Ouchi Morami, Ouchi Morimi was the sixth son of Ouchi Hiroyo, and his mother was Hiroshi Masamuro Sanjo clan.

After gaining the support of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, he retained the guardianship of the Ouchi clan and the Nagato two kingdoms.

As a branch, the Yamana family, through the game of the upper echelons, only then did he get the guardianship of Iwami Province from the Kyogoku family.

However, this place was notified by the Kyogoku family for a period of time, and the Yamana family was not very dominant, and the domestic family was full of people, and the Niko clan, a branch of the Kyogoku family, also continued to attack from Izumo, and the eastern part of Iwami was included in the rule very early, and the Mori clan of Aki Province has always been eyeing this place.

In the middle of the two major forces, Yamana Clan has a clear understanding of his situation, but he is inferior to others, so he can only be wronged.

But if there is a firecracker, the Yamana clan will have the confidence to be able to fight against the Niko clan and the Mori clan.

He thought it was good, but Ji Gang didn't think that Taisun would sell the fire gun to Dongying at this time to enhance the strength of the Japanese people.

However, Taisun also told him that he wanted to expand the support for the major names of Dongying, so that they could fight more hotly, suffer greater casualties, and have deeper hatred.

So, if it was just to sell that kind of arquebus, Taisun might really agree to it.

Today's war between the major names of Dongying, with dozens of casualties, can be called a big war.

But if there were muskets, the casualties of a casual battle could be more than doubled.

The Yamana clan has become a fierce wolf, and the impact on the entire western part of the country is huge.

But he hesitated again, because when the time came, Iwami Silver Mountain was developed, and if the Yamana clan forgot their righteousness and treacherously when they saw their interests, the greater the power they would increase now, the greater the threat to the Ming Dynasty's rule here in the future.

He also can't grasp this scale well, so he is ready to leave this matter to Taisun to worry about.

However, no matter how powerful the Yamana clan is, there are only less than a hundred samurai and less than 3,000 people, and for Da Ming, this is just a small ant.

Kameji's body let out another violent tremor, and then stopped abruptly.

Yamana Clan Li pretended to be a little heavy and said: "Although Kameji is unpopular, he is loyal to my Yamana clan, I can't bear him to be violent in the wilderness, so let's dig a pit and bury him." ”

If it weren't for Huo's accident, he would definitely have to blackmail Ji Gang. After all, he lost a man, and he is still a capable man.

And Ji Gang is just the guard and leader of a big family in the Ming Dynasty, this big family is rich and rivals the country, and it is much richer than them Iwami Country, so it is not a problem to point to benefits.

But this time, I was attracted by the firecracker, thinking that if I could buy the firecracker, I would be able to fight against Izumo Province in the north and carry An Yiguo in the east, and I would no longer have to be afraid of them, so I was not interested in asking for any benefits.

This Kameji is usually unpopular, likes to oppress other samurai, and everyone does not have much mercy for his death.

Four samurai lifted his body and entered the forest. They stripped Kameji naked, some divided his sword, some divided his shoes, and some put his clothes directly on their bodies.

He still had some copper on his body, which was also divided among several people, and then he gave a few copper plates to each of the people who dug the pit, and everyone was very happy.

And Ji Gang and Yamana Shili talked about some Ming customs together, which is also the topic that Yamana Shili is most interested in. When he was young, he once visited Ningbo Mansion once, and he still remembers the prosperity there.

It is also because of his admiration for China that he speaks fluent Chinese.

After the samurai who had buried Kameji came out, he asked these samurai to escort the grain and grass to Izumo Castle, and he took two samurai with him, and returned to Daejeon with Ji Gang.

Ji Gang was chatting with him in his mouth, and he was always thinking about how to treat him in the future.

All along, he wanted to take out the Yamana clan, or even most of their heirs, and then use his identity as the son-in-law of the Yamana family to take over Iwami Province.

But this scheme was not the best, because as an alien race, the shogunate would not have recognized his patronage.

Unless it was the Ming Dynasty who defeated Dongying, and then asked for the secession of Iwami Province as a stronghold.

But at that time, he didn't have many opportunities to be in the limelight, and it was difficult for him to manage the people here.

Not only does he want to rule here in the name of righteousness, but he also wants the Ji family to take root in this land.

Therefore, the adoption of the Huairou policy seems to be more conducive to his future rule.

At this time, he had a headache again.

Although he is both civil and military, on the other hand, he can also be said to be literal and martial.

Xuewen, he didn't even get into the Jinshi, learning martial arts, except for riding and archery, he basically relied on his physical fitness to fight with others in other aspects, and he was not a master.

He is a good hand at fighting with others and playing conspiracy, but when it comes to the higher level of power games, he feels that he is not enough.

And Reiko Yamana rode a pony and followed behind Ji Tsunade and her father, her eyes full of adoration.

In the past, she was infatuated with Ji Gang, but because Ji Gang was tall and heroic, she could toss her to death and live on the bed, and she enjoyed it very much.

But now, the most ferocious Kameji in her heart is like a dead dog, and he is solved at once. In her heart, a seed of worship has begun to slowly sprout and grow.

When I arrived at Daejeon, I walked through the low civilian area and came to the Yamana family's guardian house.

The city of Daejeon is not very large, it is equivalent to a large village, with about two or three thousand people.

In the entire Iwami country, there are less than 10,000 people. In the Ming Dynasty, this force is a rich man in the countryside, but in Dongying, he has established a country of his own.

Yamana Shiri received Ji Gang more warmly than ever this time, and personally took him to the hot spring on the beach to soak in the hot springs, and arranged for him to be served by two petite girls.

Although Ji Gang is nominally half of his son-in-law, neither of them cares about this identity, not only did they have an unhindered conference, but they also had a competition.

Of course, Yamana Clan, who was short in stature and lacked exercise, would not be Ji Gang's opponent, and finally made him bow down.

After drinking a good meal of wine and enjoying the arrangement of the Yamana clan, Ji Gang pretended to be casual and said: "The head of the family, according to the news from my lord's family, the Ming Dynasty sent troops to punish the daimyo who supported the shogunate and the Japanese invaders, and the army was sent recently. Although you are threatened by the Kyogoku family, you have to send troops to defend Izumo City, but it is better not to directly oppose Daming. Otherwise, when Daming comes, the greater your efforts, the greater the punishment you will receive in the future. ”

Yamana's clan said disapprerovingly: "I, the Yamauchi clan, have neither been a widow, nor will I resist the Ming as the main force, and even if the Ming wants to liquidate, it will not necessarily deal with me." What's more, I have the protection of the great god of Baqi in Dongying, and as soon as the army of the Ming Dynasty comes, I am afraid that there will be a big storm to protect us. ”

Meng Yuan failed in two consecutive crusades to the east, and almost everyone in Dongying now thinks that Dongying is protected by the gods and will not fail.

Ji Gang smiled and stopped persuading, he had figured it out a little just now, at least in the short term, it was better for the Yamana clan to be alive than dead.

Yamana is alive and can help him manage the people, and he can also help him resist the invasion of other forces. If he dies, all these things will be his.

But if Yamana Clan is looking for his own death, he will not persuade him again.

Although Ji Gang is also a little weak about this matter, because this matter is indeed too evil. But he has more contact with Taisun, and he believes in Taisun's strength even more.

Not to mention anything else, just with the firearms in the hands of the Ming soldiers, it is impossible for these little dwarfs to win at all.

By the time the more than two million soldiers of the Ming Dynasty each had a musket, they could wipe out any country with almost no effort.

In the evening, Ji Gang took Reiko back to the courtyard at the foot of Iwami Silver Mountain, and after settling Reiko, he came to the study, lit the oil lamp, and began to write letters to Zhu Zhanji.

If there is no new information this time, the grandson will provoke a big war tomorrow, and the things that need to be done are almost done.

This letter can also be regarded as a private letter, he carefully analyzed the contradictions and interests between Izumo Province, Iwami Province, Yasui Province, and several major families, and then frankly told Zhu Zhanji his thoughts, wanting to get Zhu Zhanji's guidance.

He can now be regarded as having figured out Zhu Zhanji's temperament, knowing that if he wants to be reused, he must be open and honest, Taisun has a rare atmosphere, he doesn't care about people's selfishness, he only cares about whether he will abolish the public for personal reasons.

He wants to set up his own door, and Taisun will not object, because this is also the back road arranged for him by Taisun. Therefore, now he will honestly say these things, and as for how to choose, let Zhu Zhanji help him decide.

In any case, before Iwami Silver Mountain was developed, he still had a role, and the grandson would not cross the river and tear down the bridge.

While he was thinking about the words of the letter to Zhu Zhanji with a sad face in his study, the 100,000-strong army of the Ming Dynasty had already been assembled and was ready to attack at any time.

This time, the Ming Dynasty dispatched 30,000 musketeers, plus 6,000 people from Zhu Zhanji's guard battalion, 3,000 Yunnan soldiers who were good at mountain warfare, and more than 40,000 people such as doctors and internal supervisors.

In addition to the 80,000 regrouped navy, the 10,000 troops originally stationed on Jeju Island and the 30,000 troops stationed on Tsushima Island were more than 160,000 people.

Of course, it didn't take so many people in one battle, and after a few days of busyness, Zhu Zhanji appeased his generals, left a part of the reserve army, and brought 100,000 troops into the Dongying Sea area.

(I'm sorry everyone, I'll update more when I get home.) ）
