Chapter 192: Allies

Matsuura Kushin's eyes lit up, and he asked, "What kind of artillery and flintlock pistol?" Did Lord Wang defeat the Tatars with these weapons?

Wang Yue said: "Although I am not a Tatar who defeated with such a weapon, it is about the same, if Matsuura-kun's retainers can be equipped with such weapons, I believe that the force of the Hirado Domain can at least double." ”

Originally, he was also going to produce and sell a simplified version of the black powder grenade, but in the end, he still denied it, the simplified version of the pull-hair grenade was too suitable for terrorist attacks.

Matsuura Kushin asked eagerly, "Can Lord Wang let me see such a weapon?" ”

Hearing is false, seeing is believing. So Wang Yue took him to the back deck and let the soldiers have the best marksmanship and demonstrate the single shot of a rifle.

As the bottles thrown out one by one were exploded in the air and in the water, Matsuura Jiuxin's eyes widened, and he grabbed Wang Yue's sleeve and said, "Lord Wang, this, I bought this weapon." ”

Wang Yue broke his hand away and said, "Songpu-kun, although we met on the first day today, I already regard you as a friend, you can't make your friend embarrassed, right?" This weapon is my guarantee at the bottom of the box, how can I sell it? ”

Matsuura Kushin thought about it and understood, if such a weapon was his own, he wouldn't sell it easily. nodded again and again: "Understood, understood." ”

Wang Yue listened to the expression of loss in his tone, and said with a smile: "Songpu-kun, don't be in a hurry. The weapons I sold you are not much worse than this, the basic principle is the same, this is the first time I have sold weapons, I really treat you as a friend. ”

Hearing Wang Yue say this, Songpu Jiuxin was excited again, and the demonstration just now made him inexplicably confident in Wang Yue's weapon. There is a sense of Wang Yue's production, which must be a high-quality product.

"Then I look forward to seeing Lord Wang's new weapon as soon as possible, hahaha!" Matsuura Jiuxin felt that he had not come in vain today, and his interest was very high, so he invited: "It is my honor to meet a friend like Lord Wang, can you enjoy the glory of my domain as a guest, please don't refuse." ”

Japanese food, sashimi or something, Wang Yue is not interested, especially the original version, the seasoning is still very simple, I have tasted it in the past few days, I really dare not compliment.

Wang Yue smiled and said: "Songpu-jun came to me, so he should be my guest, why bother to go far?" ”

Dining in a spacious, bright and modern environment is also a novel experience for Matsuura Jiuxin.

So he flattered his hands and said, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey my fate, I don't have any resistance to Chinese food!" ”

Wang Yue smiled: "Songpu Jun's Chinese politeness is very proficient!" ”

Matsuura Kushin laughed.

The vegetables and meats are all bought from the shore, the seasoning is complete on board, and the chefs are highly skilled, so they are even more delicious than those in the restaurants on the shore. Wang Yue is a hedonistic master, and this cook is personally selected by him.

Matsuura Jiuxin ate heartily and couldn't stop nodding: "This is the most delicious Chinese food I've ever tasted." ”

Wang Yue raised the red wine in his glass and said, "Songpu-kun, for the sake of our friendship, do it!" ”

Matsuura Jiuxin hurriedly picked up his red wine: "For our friendship!" ”

After eating and drinking, Matsuura Kushin asked, "The goods brought by Lord Wang are very popular with the merchants, and I feel the same way." Why don't you set up a trading house in Hirado? ”

Since Wang Yue demonstrated the performance of his weapons, Matsuura Jiuxin has become more and more eager to maintain a close relationship with Wang Yue.

There is no doubt about the competitiveness of the products in the starting point city, and Wang Yue believes that there is no need to promote it himself. Merchants are the most active group, and it is in their nature to seek profits, and their goods will inevitably attract merchants to flock to them.

So he didn't have the idea of setting up an office in Hirado at first, but Matsuura Kushin's proposal moved Wang Yue's heart.

Wang Yue didn't answer his question, but asked, "Songpu-kun wants to buy a large number of weapons, is there any difficulty?" Can you tell me about it? ”

Matsuura Kushin's face darkened and said: "Don't hide it from Lord Wang, the prosperity of Hirado may not last long, and the shogunate intends to close the Hirado Port and replace Hirado with Nagasaki." ”

Wang Yue said: "So Matsuura-kun strengthened his force and used it against the shogunate?" ”

"No, no, no!" Matsuura Kushin waved his hand again and again: "How dare I, the Hirado Domain, confront the shogunate? There is no such intention, there is no such intention. ”

Not to mention the shogunate, even the Satsuma Domain is enough for the Hirado Domain to drink a pot.

Wang Yue agitated: "Matsuura-kun is too arrogant, with the prosperity of the business of the Hirado Domain, and the foundation of a hundred years of operation, the financial resources must be abundant. Economic strength is the strong backing of military strength, and fighting a war is fighting money. In this regard, I believe that the Hirado Domain will definitely be the best among the other domains, and the only thing that is lacking is manpower and territory. The Tokugawa shogunate was not built in a day, and the capital of Tokugawa Ieyasu was not as good as that of today's Matsuura-kun. We have a saying in the Central Plains that the prince will be Xiangning, and I think Matsuura-kun must have heard of it. ”

Songpu Jiuxin listened to Wang Yue's words, and his eyes were a little blazing, but he still knew how many catties and taels he had.

He asked with some puzzlement, "Why did Lord Wang say this?" ”

Wang Yue smiled and said, "I'm a nostalgic person. Today and Matsuura-kun hit it off at first sight.,So I'm very willing to make Matsuura-kun a friend.。 In the future, when our goods come to Japan, we will only recognize Hirado, and if the shogunate intervenes, I am willing to help Matsuura-kun. ”

The demonstration of the rifle made Matsuura Kushin impress Wang Yue's force, but not to the point of blind belief, after all, Wang Yue did not show rifle bursts and other perverted weapons. But it's good to have a strong friend, and he won't refuse.

"It's also my honor to make friends like Lord Wang." He smiled and nodded, "Then Lord Wang is interested in the proposal to open a trading hall in Hirado?" ”

Wang Yue said: "It's okay, then the location and preparation of the merchant hall will need a lot of help from Songpu Jun." ”

Matsuura Kushin was delighted: "There is no problem with these. I heard that Lord Wang and the Zheng family had an unpleasant relationship, so you can rest assured that the safety of the merchant house will be taken care of by our Hirado Domain, and no one will think about it. ”

Although the Zheng family and the Songpu family are also considered allies, allies are just a joke in front of interests, not to mention that there have been conflicts between the Zheng family and Songpu, otherwise Zheng Zhilong would not have moved his headquarters to Fujian.

Matsuura Jiuxin is the head snake of Pingdo, and the Zheng family can only be regarded as black, social, and social, which Wang Yue believes. Although Wang Yue is not afraid of things, but now that there is a shortage of people who can be dispatched from the starting point city, it is better to have more than one thing.

Wang Yue said: "Then thank you Songpu Jun for your extra care." ”
