Chapter 1021: The Tang Family's Tradition of Slaughtering People
The pine and cypress, layer by layer, a not too big temple comes into view, it is at noon, there is the sound of the bell chime, melodious and pleasant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I didn't expect that there are Buddhist temples in this barbarian land?" Ping An asked casually.
"Lotus blossoms, where there is no pure land!" Qi An said solemnly.
Ping An shook his head, "I don't think so, the gold and jade are ruined outside, maybe it's a place to hide dirt and dirt." ”
"How can you slander the Dharma?" Qi Anguo's eyes stood up, and he didn't know what was going on, the Wang family had been obsessed with chanting scriptures and worshipping Buddha in recent years, and even Qi Anguo was affected.
"Brother An Guo, I'm just saying that you want to inherit the ancestral business of the Qi family, and when the time comes, you will kill people like hemp, and your blood-stained skirt will be like a good man!"
Qi Anguo was stumbling for a long time, but he couldn't find any words, so he could only say helplessly: "If you can't cultivate a Bodhisattva, you still don't allow me to admire?" ”
It was the monkey, who suddenly pointed to the shade of a tree, and laughed, "Look, the admiration is coming!" ”
Following the monkey's fingers, I saw a person wearing a monk's robe, holding a woman in his hand, talking and laughing, and came over sweetly, and saw three teenagers who were about to drop their jaws, still baring their teeth, and smiling proudly.
A long time passed for them before the three of them recovered.
"In broad daylight, this flower monk is too bold!" The monkey exclaimed.
Ping An shook his head, "It's not bold, it's not weird, you can take a look!" ”
Looking up, there were several monks, all holding women, and a guy holding a child of a few years old, talking and laughing (not nonsense, Japanese monks can indeed marry wives and have children, and their precepts are equal to zero).
"Ping'an, I think this place is a bit demonic, let's not wander around."
It's rare for peace not to screw, "Hurry up and inform Oda Nobunaga, just say that I will only wait for him for three days, and if he doesn't come, he will regret it for the rest of his life!" ”
The three teenagers immediately returned to the Kanyi where they were staying, the temple they had just witnessed, the famous temple in Kyoto, Honnoji.
The deadline was three days, and the next day, someone came back to report that Oda Nobunaga had arrived.
Ping An took Qi Anguo and the monkey out to greet him, only to see one walk in from the outside, and after a glance, they all laughed.
This bare-headed, shaved in the middle, combed a jujube kernel-sized ball on the top of the brain, and the two eyebrows were black and heavy. There is also a layer of silly white gouache on his face, a red shirt, a silk coat, and tiger skin breeches on the lower half of his body...... What kind of dress is this, it's clearly a monkey outside the front door. Qi Anguo was so serious, when he saw him, he couldn't hold back, laughed, and laughed so much that tears came out.
The people who accompanied the "flower butterfly" saw that the three of Ping An were so presumptuous, and they were angry, and they wanted to draw their knives and move.
At this time, there were also dozens of guards around the pavilion to protect safety, and they were all ready in an instant.
However, "Flower Butterfly" didn't care so much, walked in front of Ping'an, and asked his interpreter to question them.
"Why are you laughing, am I ridiculous?"
Ping An was a little surprised, restrained his smile, and said seriously: "I'm sorry, I was rude." ”
After hearing this, Oda Nobunaga nodded slightly, "Friends from afar, would you like to invite me to a glass of wine?" ”
"Of course there is wine, I'm afraid you won't get used to it."
"No, I'd love to try the wine from the Central Plains."
Heian stretched out his hand and let Oda Nobunaga into the living room, Heian would not kneel on the tatami mat, he just sat down casually, and the monkey went to bring a jar of wine and poured a bowl for Oda Nobunaga.
Oda Nobunaga's eyes lit up, "It's clear and mellow, it's good wine!" ”
He lifted the bowl, raised his head, and drank it all.
When the wine reached his stomach, his face suddenly became red, as if he had been burned by fire, and the gouache could not cover it, his face turned purple, and he staggered to his feet, walked a few dozen steps, and fell to the ground again.
His men were so shocked that they thought they had been poisoned, and they were grunting, shouting, and killing people for revenge.
"What's the call, people don't understand it after drinking too much, just send it back and pour some decanting soup!"
The gang came to Oda Nobunaga's side, and when they heard that he was really full of wine, they were all angry, so hurry up and carry the people back!
"This amount of alcohol is too bad!" Ping An shook his head and sighed, and the monkey said embarrassedly: "Ping An, it seems that he made a mistake, he gave him alcohol!" ”
Ping'an's eyes were dark, and he almost fell down in fright.
What are you kidding, drinking too much alcohol is fatal, Oda Nobunaga's tens of thousands of subordinates, if we go crazy, we will be finished.
The monkey said with a bitter face: "I was wrong, let's run!" ”
Run!
Ping'an snatched the wine jar, dipped it a little, put it to his mouth and tasted it, it was very spicy, but not so rushed.
"Maybe it's okay, this jar is not sealed properly, it is not so pure."
Qi Anguo also tasted it, at most it was a little stronger than Lao Bai, pray, the "flower butterfly" can survive.
Another day passed, and this time someone came to visit again, and the one in front was a very handsome middle-aged man, wearing a square scarf, wearing a Confucian shirt, and polite.
As soon as they met, they were very excited, and the interpreter next to him translated his words.
"Daming's fine wine is worthy of its reputation, and fine wine is like a beauty, and it takes heroes to taste it."
Ping An finally recognized it, and dared to love this guy who was yesterday's "flower butterfly", changed his clothes, and sure enough, he looked like a dog.
"You are His Excellency Oda Nobunaga?"
"That's right, I'm curious, what does your Beiyang company do? I only heard that you have a Dong Detective Factory in Daming!
"We don't have a dime to do with the dead eunuch!" The monkey couldn't wait.
"Eunuch, what is a eunuch?" Oda Nobunaga was curious again.
Ping'an suddenly remembered that there were no eunuchs in the Wa Kingdom, so he said it casually.
Oda Nobunaga thought and said to himself: "This is a good way to ensure that the bloodline is pure, very good, thank you!" ”
Seeing him pay his respects, Ping An sighed in his heart, I am afraid that the country will have a new profession from now on.
"The so-called Beiyang Company is a company that can do everything and specializes in solving problems for others, and we are here to solve your problems."
"Anything can be solved? That's too much, isn't it? ”
"It's not big at all." Ping An changed his comfortable posture, stretched out his feet, and said with a smug smile: "We have money, people, food, weapons, ships, and whatever we want." ”
Oda Nobunaga is not an idiot either, in fact, since North Korea sent four hundred left ears, he has known it, from the initial anger, to the end, he can only reluctantly accept it.
Joseon did not have the ability to kill so many Japanese warriors, and most of the people who died were actually from the Maori domain.
When they heard that the people occupied Jeju Island, opened a commercial port there, and traded goods, the Maori family became greedy, they didn't take North Korea seriously, and they didn't care much about the Ming army's partial division, so they sent troops to loot.
At this time, the Maori family participated in the siege of Oda Nobunaga, and when he learned that it was the Maori family who died, Oda Nobunaga was a little happy, at least the pressure on his shoulders was much lighter.
"Will you help me?"
"As long as you can afford it."
"How much does it cost?"
"It's a lot, but it's definitely worth the money!"
Tang Ping'an smiled and waved his hand, called over Qi Anguo, Xiao Qi pulled Oda Nobunaga, and when he got outside, there were a few muffled noises soon, and when he came back again, Oda's face turned white, and he became very white without powder.
Oda Nobunaga had great financial resources and attached great importance to firearms, and the development of firearms in the Wa Kingdom was very late, and almost thirty years ago, a Portuguese drifted to Tanegashima to bring firearms to the Wakoku, which is called iron cannons in the Wa language.
In the early days of the southeast anti-Japanese war, the Ming army suffered a lot of losses, and later the Ming army imitated the bird gun, even more powerful than the iron cannon, the Qi army often in the bombardment, the Japanese are all over the place to find teeth.
Later, the firearms of the Ming army continued to innovate and progress rapidly, and the iron cannons equipped by Oda Nobunaga's subordinates now had an effective firing range of only 50 paces, while the Ming army's firearms could reach 80 to 100 steps, and there was no need for arquebuses.
Double the range, double the rate of fire, if two Ming armies with equal numbers and the Japanese army meet, it is very likely that the Japanese army will not even touch the edge of the Ming army, and will be slaughtered.
"How much, how many of these firearms do you, I want them, I want them all!"
Oda Nobunaga was full of salivation and exclaimed nervously.
"Your Excellency Oda, I have tens of thousands of rods of this kind of firecracker, do you think you can buy it?"
"How can there be so many?"
Oda Nobunaga exclaimed, although he attaches great importance to the firecracker, but he has worked hard, and there are only 3,000 people under his command to equip the firecracker, you must know that a firearm needs steel, it needs craftsmen, it is very troublesome to forge, it costs a lot, no need to ask the price, tens of thousands of firecrackers, it is not something he can afford.
"The Ming Dynasty is rich all over the world, the country is strong, and there are many capable people, we have millions of troops, hundreds of thousands of craftsmen, and it is as easy as drinking cold water to make fire."
Tang Ping'an bragged recklessly, "Your Excellency Oda Nobunaga, I know that you are facing enemies on all sides and are very dangerous, and I can provide you with five thousand firecrackers at a very favorable price." ”
"Really?"
"That's natural, two hundred taels of silver per rod, ten catties of gunpowder, it's cost-effective, right?"
Qi Anguo snorted, the cost of the new firearm is only seven or eight taels of silver, these used second-hand goods, five taels of silver is a lot, Tang Ping'an was stunned to increase it forty times, their Tang family ancestors are all dry butchers, specializing in slaughtering people without discussion!
Oda Nobunaga bowed his head and calculated, five thousand poles of firecrackers, it would cost one million taels of silver.
It's really expensive, but after thinking about it, if you can have a fire gun as sharp as 5,000 rods, your predicament will be solved in an instant, no matter how powerful the Takeda family is, it can't stand up to its own army!
"I need a firecracker, but I can't afford that much money just yet."
Tang Ping'an smiled, "Your Excellency Oda Nobunaga, in fact, you don't have to pay a penny, as long as you sign this contract of mine, I will offer the weapon with both hands, and I can also send troops to help you fight." ”
Oda Nobunaga took it and was stunned when he saw it, the first was to open the Fu trade, the second was to negotiate tariffs, the third was to allow the establishment of money banks and banks, and the fourth was to ...... (To be continued.) )
