As mentioned above, the establishment of the Kamakura shogunate marked the end of the era in which the central aristocracy held the actual ruling power in Japan, and the samurai who had a very low status in the aristocratic era stepped onto the stage of history, despising the sluggish life of the Heian Dynasty nobles, advocating the core idea of "loyalty, righteousness, honesty, bravery, and perseverance", combined with Confucianism, Zen Buddhism, and Shinto, thus forming the spiritual pillar of the samurai, "Bushido".

Therefore, Shigehiro Ouchi's performance makes people who advocate bushido look down on him.

Even Anda Taisheng, who wanted to help him say a few words, secretly scolded him, where would any samurai cry for money?!

He simply kept his mouth shut, and his iron heart made this outer family member lose.

The young Kamakura shogunate's ruler Hojo Tokimune was unmoved by his cry and said coldly, "You have a silver mine in your country, why don't you report it early?" But secretly sold to outsiders? ”

Ouchi Shigehiro knelt down again and again, and said, "Lord Ruling Power, those silver mines can't be refined at all!" I've tried it with the best silver smelters in all of Japan------ and they say so! ”

Hojo Tokimune thought about it, and it might be true, otherwise he would not have let others take advantage of the country.

But ------ why would those outsiders pay a high price for it?!

"Have you checked how those outsiders refine silver?"

"After checking------ they didn't refine it, but they all piled it up on Jeju Island first."

Heira Yoritsuna is the internal management leader of Hojo Tokizong, and he can't control Ouchi Shigehiro at all, but he really can't help it, and scolds: "Idiot! Did they buy the silver mine just to pile it up? ”

Ouchi Shigehiro seriously defended: "That's true! Originally, they only used paper money, and there were very few copper coins! ”

"Haha, apart from the banknotes of the Great Song Dynasty, who would use someone else?!"

At this time, the head of the foreign affairs department, Anda Taisheng, had to speak, and said: "I have seen the flow of banknotes, there are some sailboats printed on them, which are very exquisite, and a printing method called watermark is used, so that people cannot print them secretly------ they have been recognized by some people and merchants in Kamakura Castle------- it seems that the master of the internal management department has to go to the people from time to time." ”

Hojo Tokimune didn't care about any banknotes, he still asked Ouchi Shigehiro unwillingly: "Didn't you go to the Great Song Dynasty to ask the craftsmen there to see?" ”

"Please, the craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty also said that it is not worth refining, and the cost will be much more than what you get!"

In this way, Hojo Tokimune is dead------- but the decision to list Iwami Province as a heavenly domain will not change!

Ouchi Shigehiro is also dead, he will lose his territory for no reason, who made him a member of the Outer Imperial Family?!

Mihara Koi has the heart to die in front of the Kamakura shogunate!

He couldn't get in the door, and he couldn't even send the owner's handwritten letter!

The doorman there viciously pushed him aside, what kind of begging Zhang Island Master, the shogunate is a little person like you who can enter whenever he wants, and he still sends you a private message casually!

In that year, Yoritomo raised troops to defeat the Taira clan and occupied Kamakura, and from then on he began to run the Kanto region with all his might, and set up a chamberlain in Kamakura.

Later, he received the recognized administrative power of the eastern kingdom from Emperor Go-Shirakawa.

In this way, the office and the Kumonsho were established, and the basic structure of the Kamakura shogunate was formed.

Mihara Koi had been kneeling at the door, but no one paid attention to him, a merchant, and he was so sad and anxious that he immediately asked his attendant to take out the arquebus with gold and silver ornaments on the butt and handle of the rifle he had bought on the island of Liuqiu, and after installing it, he fired a shot into the sky!

The shogunate's guards didn't know what it was, and they were stunned.

At this time, the shogunate law stated that low-ranking personnel were not allowed to wear katanas, but it was not said that they could not hold a stick with an iron pipe.

This gunshot alarmed Hojo, who was working in the shogunate, and he immediately sent someone to the door to see who was setting off firecrackers for no reason!

Japan also imported some of the Great Song Dynasty's maraiko firecrackers, either for sacrifice or for festivals.

As a result, one of his men brought in a merchant, who immediately knelt down on the ground when he saw Hojo and immediately explained everything.

The owner of Liuqiu Island?

Of course, Hojo Real-Time didn't care either, he did watch "Liuqiu Times", but due to his busy work and the distance, he didn't read a few copies at all.

He thought that that person was nothing more than a powerful businessman entrenched in Liuqiu Island.

As for the Liuqiu Guards------- it is not uncommon for powerful businessmen in Japan to also raise armed forces.

It's just that they dared to challenge the Tatar Iron Rider alone, which has always been incomprehensible to Hojo in real time.

So, he took the handwritten letter from the so-called Zhang Island Master, regardless of whether it was specially given to the ruling lord.

After reading the letter in a hurry, he was furious, and the little Liuqiu Island dared to accuse me of being the ruling lord of Japan!

Mihara Koi has been observing Hojo's real-time face, and when he found that it was not good, he immediately knelt down and said, "There is still something to offer to adults!" ”

"What?!"

Mihara Koi hurriedly asked his attendant to present his arquebus.

Hojo looked at it in real time and said, "Just now, you just used this thing to make the sound of firecrackers, right?" ”

"Yes, your lord is extremely wise------ but this is called an arquebus, and it can kill people from a hundred paces away!"

"------ rope ------- gun?"

There is no such word in Japanese yet, so Hojo had to follow Mihara Koi's words in real time.

However, he was more interested in Mihara Koi's words about killing people a hundred steps away, so several people came to the courtyard.

Hojo pointed to an old pine tree twenty paces away in the yard and said, "Can you hit it?!" ”

Mihara Kojingshin said, I can hit it with my eyes closed, and the old pine tree is more than one person thick.

He began to reload.

Hojo saw him open a lid at the head of the gold and silver ornament and take out a paper bag from it.

I don't know what was inside, but after he closed the lid, he bit open the end of the paper bag, put the black foam inside into the iron pipe, and put a little in the small pool outside the iron pipe, and then pulled out an iron rod from the front of the wooden stick, and stuffed the paper bag to the end.

Then I saw him take out a match, light a rope, pick up the arquebus, and take a slight look, "Smack!" I saw white smoke rising from both ends of the arquebus!

Look at the old pine tree again, a palm-sized piece of bark has been knocked away!

Mihara Koi wiped the sweat from his head and almost flew away------

Hojo's face was heavy, and he asked for the bark------ the bark of the old pine tree was much harder than the armor of the Japanese samurai.

He rubbed the bark and felt its hardness.

Hojo asked in real time, "What's in that paper bag?" ”

Mihara Koi immediately took out another one, offered it with both hands, and said, "Here is buckshot and black powder!" ”

"That's what the so-called Wandering Guards used to attack the Tatars?!"

"No, the Tatar robbers are using arquebuses------ begging the guards to have more powerful guns!"

"Big ------ bolt ------- gun?!"

"That's right! But I can't figure out how to use it------ but it's definitely better than an arquebus! ”

"Did they really kill and wound hundreds of thousands of Tatar horsemen at once?!"

Mihara Koi immediately said: "There are still many "Liuqiu Times" below, please read them carefully, and I dare to guarantee that what is written on them is the truth." ”

Mitsui Ohara took out a stack of newspapers and put the newspaper that covered the Shandong War on it.

Hojo looked down for a while in real time, it was not as terrifying as the rumors, but because of this------ the Stream Guards were really powerful!

He sighed and said, "世の中が変わった-------"

The world has indeed changed.

Hojo thought about the handwritten letter of the owner of Zhang Island in real time, and felt that some of the words in the letter also had some truth.

He finally said, "Come, I'll take you to Lord Principal." ”
