Chapter 65: Oda Nobunaga
Wang Zhi sold all the firearms to Xiaotian, Oda Nobunaga wanted to buy a large number of firearms and could only find Xiaotian, both of them were not very relieved to let Wang Zhi be a translator for the two of them, and now only talk about Fengyue and not business, the two are about the same age, the more they talk, the more they fall in love, and finally Oda Nobunaga eagerly invited Xiaotian, and went back with him three days later, to his home Furuno Castle to be a guest. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In Furuno Castle, Oda Nobunaga warmly entertained Xiaotian and his party, arranged it very properly, and even arranged a special translator for Master Ciku to go to various temples in the Wa Kingdom to teach the Dharma, and the master was so happy that the snot bubbles came out.
After eating, drinking, and having fun for more than half a month, all kinds of geisha have played, and it's time to talk about business.
Oda Nobunaga came to Xiao Tian with a translator, Xiao Tian also brought his own translator, and after being full of wine and food, Oda Nobunaga took the lead in speaking: "Lejun, you also know that our Wa Kingdom is at war, there are no horses in my territory, and only by firearms can we win, Wang Jun said that he sold all the firearms to you, I hope you can cut some love, please!" ”
As he spoke, Oda Nobunaga led the group of people behind him to bow at a standard ninety-degree right angle. To say that most of the customs and habits of this Wa Kingdom are learned from the Tang and Song dynasties, and they are similar to the Ming Dynasty, but this politeness makes people unbearable, you say you don't return the salute, it seems that you are impolite, return the salute, you can't stand it, and your waist is hollowed out as soon as you come to the Wa Kingdom.
Xiao Tian said, "Oda-kun, I cherish our friendship, but I am a businessman, and the amount you want is too big, I don't know what I can get from you."
Oda Nobunaga said, "Silver! Brimstone! I know that the business that Le Jun has just negotiated with Wang Jun will definitely make a lot of money, and now there is no shortage of silver, and I can ask my generals and soldiers to help you fight. If there is anything else I need here, please feel free to mention it and we will do our best to accommodate it."
In addition to silver and sulfur, there is also one of the biggest specialties of the Wa Kingdom, the samurai! Except for those master samurai who have family heirloom swords and practice various swordsmanship since childhood, in fact, every man in this period can be counted as a samurai compared to the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Even if such a person is useless, he is extremely terrible on the battlefield, he can charge, he can break the rear, and he is brave in battle, which general you say doesn't like such soldiers.
Oda Nobunaga's words made Xiao Tian fall into deep thought, in fact, the real Japanese in the Wako along the Ming Dynasty were not all wandering samurai who lost their land or were defeated, and many of them were paid to Xu Hai by their daimyo as payment for goods in this way, just like Oda Nobunaga said just now, a bit like mercenaries. Of course, their main source was prisoners of war.
To tell the truth, the role of the Japanese warriors to Xiao Tian is not particularly big, he already has the wolf soil soldiers, this time he has money, and he plans to expand the scale of the wolf soil soldiers a little more, and those of their clansmen want to get Xiao Tian to go to Xia Ke Island as long as they are willing. But it would be a pity if such a good cannon fodder unit was sent to his own hands, and it would be a pity not to.
Originally, Xiao Tian, a weapon worth two million taels of silver, could not be used up by himself no matter what, and Xiao Tian originally planned to keep some of it and hand it over to the imperial court to fight Tatars in the west. But in fact, the Ming Dynasty is not like the Wa Kingdom, the Ming Dynasty is rich in resources, outstanding people, and has its own ability to produce weapons.
According to the data, the Ming Dynasty has successfully copied the Spanish Franco cannon in the Zhengde period, and the arquebus produced by itself is not worse than that of Europe during this period, and a few years later, the tiger squat cannon equipped by the Qi family army even reached one per 300 people, although Yan Shifan in the Ministry of Industry Da Lao Teo The production cost of these firearms is higher, but it is also more suitable than buying from Wang Zhi. Don't say buy it, if necessary, you can sell it to the Japanese state, of course, the premise is that the Japanese are cleaned, and you can't sell weapons to you, and you can go back and fight our people.
So, in addition to the silver, sulfur and women of the Wa Kingdom, can you use these firearms to hire some samurai to help the Ming fight the Tartars? These people are not only brave and good at fighting, but the most important thing is not to feel distressed when they die.
This kind of thing is far from being something that Xiao Tian can decide, and the court has to decide for itself, but Xiao Tian feels that there is nothing wrong with this, the court is now talking about the hatred of the Japanese Invaders, but in fact, they really understand the Japanese country, and there are very few people who understand the Japanese Invaders, which is conducive to the big bosses of the imperial court to truly understand the Japanese country, so as to open their eyes and understand the world.
In the end, in addition to exchanging these weapons for some women and sulfur, Koten took away about 100 warriors from Oda Nobunaga, including 12 samurai, which can be regarded as trial supplies. Tell Oda Nobunaga for the others, wait and see. Anyway, there's no hurry, this deal has to be made to the end of next year, and there is still more than a year to go.
After that, Xiaotian stayed in Guye City for half a month, during which his relationship with Oda Nobunaga became better and better, Oda Nobunaga deserved to be a legendary figure of the Japanese Kingdom, although he was only twenty years old, but many ideas and opinions made Xiaotian breathtaking, benefited a lot, and even some things about the two of them could talk about it very well. Xiaotian comes from later generations, and the vision of looking at the problem is naturally a little different from the ancients of this era, Oda Nobunaga also feels that listening to Xiaotian can learn a lot of things, and Xiaotian is only born in this world, and he can also talk about Confucian culture, so that Oda Nobunaga is addicted, and the two are both good teachers and good friends with each other, and they are both confidants of each other. Originally, according to the habits of pirates, they should have sworn a long time ago, but to be honest, one of these two people is the future daimyo of the Wa Kingdom, and the other is the pirate king of the Ming coast, each representing their own interest groups, and it is impossible to really be as close as brothers. Both of them had a tacit understanding and didn't mention it.
The song has an end, the banquet is scattered, people always have a parting, Xiaotian has been in the country of Wa for a long time, this day finally proposed a farewell to Oda Nobunaga, Oda Nobunaga was reluctant to him, but the two are not ordinary characters, just a warm hug is enough, Xiaotian said when he left, whether the business is successful or not, he will come back again in three months, and tell him the result in person.
Xiaotian came out this time, first beat Xiao Xian and Chen Dong, and when everything was settled, Li Yan was brought in, and he didn't stay for a few days before coming to the country, counting the time on the road for more than two months, and it was time for the New Year, although Xiaotian has not been idle physically for more than two months, but psychologically he really thought about it, and secretly decided that he would not go anywhere after going back, and stay at home with his baby wife for a while.
However, as the so-called people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, they are destined to not be able to enjoy the warmth with their wives for too long. After Xiaotian came back from RB, the memo he wrote to the imperial court really caused a big shock, and the six hundred miles of urgent delivery of the will, only one sentence: Before the New Year, enter the capital to face the saint!
