Chapter 345: Qing Niang's Contribution

Goryeo Jingcheng led the army to chase all the way, and finally caught up with Murong Zhi and them less than 20 miles away from Musashi, which was located in the Kanto Plain and the terrain was open, which was very unfavorable to Goryeo.

But Musashi City is already in sight, the army was taken out by him, and now the city is empty in defense, if you dodge again, let Murong Zhi attack Musashi City, it is estimated that the old and weak in the city will not last for half an hour before it is lost.

In desperation, Gao Licheng had no choice but to fight Murong Zhi and them.

He divided his army into four and planned to storm from all sides, hoping to create a melee situation, so that Murong Zhi's flintlock pistols would not be able to exert their power.

He had nearly 20,000 warriors, while Murong Zhi and Heping Zhengsheng combined were only 10,000. Even if all the samurai on one side were killed by flintlock pistols, as long as the remaining three sides could rush into the enemy formation, Goryeo would still be able to maintain its superior forces, and it is still unknown who will kill the deer.

Goryeo turned out to be a division of troops, Murong Zhi guessed his trick clearly, and he also quickly laid out, and when the coalition army of Goryeo actually became rushed up from all sides, Ping Zhengsheng's 10,000 people suddenly cracked in the middle, revealing a north-south passage.

Ping Zhengsheng was responsible for meeting the enemy in the east and west, so that in a single direction, his forces would be no less than Goryeo.

And Murong Zhi's 400 men were also divided into two, and quickly transferred through the middle passage to block the two northern sides, so that they could give Goryeo the greatest damage, as long as they shot the enemy on both sides, Murong Zhi believed that the coalition army would be defeated.

Of course, Murong Zhi also has his own careful thoughts, in case he can't bear it, his two groups of men and horses can pass through the middle passage, quickly converge, and leave the battlefield, anyway, Lao Tzu won't play melee with you.

Two hundred people, which can form a three-stage firing array of sixty people in a platoon, is enough, and most of the coalition army formed by Goryeo is infantry, and several thousand people are clustered together, but the formation is very scattered, roaring like yaks and rushing over.

Murong Zhi scoffed at Little Japan's art of war; There weren't many big wars in Little Japan a few days ago, and they were usually scuffles between various daimyo in order to grab territory.

Therefore, they rarely train any formations in ordinary times, and emphasize more on personal bravery, and it is impossible to achieve the kind of Song Liao when a large army fights, and can put on a strict formation.

It was not until after the Warring States period that Japan annexed each other due to the frequent wars, and the art of war was qualitatively improved.

Eight hundred meters, this is still an unattainable distance for the coalition army of Goryeo, and Mo Rongzhi's side has taken the lead in kicking off the prelude to the war.

As a succession of gunshots rang out, the bullets whistled away, one row finished firing, the second row continued to shoot, back and forth, and there was no time to stop; The coalition forces rushed up, and the rows of samurai in front of them fell, and instead of scattering, they crowded even closer, as if that would make them safer.

This made Murong Zhi's side almost not waste a single bullet, the gun cost people's lives, this three-stage shooting method, sixty bullets would be discharged in five or six seconds, and nearly two thousand rounds could be fired in three minutes.

And in three minutes, the enemy has not rushed past 400 meters.

Most of the shields in their hands are rattan shields, which cannot stop deadly bullets. A puff of blood splattered out, rows of samurai fell to the ground, and the earth-shattering roar turned into a terrible scream, this situation of being beaten and unable to fight back was really desperate.

By the time they rushed nearly 300 meters, half of the thousands of men and horses had been killed or wounded, and such a heavy casualty rate made the courage of the coalition forces lose sight of it, and the pace of the charge could not help but slow down, and finally turned into a major collapse.

The coalition forces in the north and south collapsed, and the east and west sides saw that the situation was not good, and they also fled, and Goryeo turned out to be a well-prepared battle, and before they could release an arrow, it became like this.

Murong Zhi received Yang Yi's order, plus the new supply of ammunition, he was no longer polite to the rout of Goryeo, pursued and killed all the way, and after attacking Musashi City, he did not forget to set foot on Musashi's military order.

In two days, Musashi Castle was reduced to a smoky ruin, and all the men of the Goryeo family were sent to Amaterasu, and the women became prostitutes.

This is done to deter other daimyos, and stop trying to resist, otherwise the end will be miserable.

In Heiankyo, Yang Yi followed the good news, just talking and laughing, and he was arranging to bring those "experts" to make some contribution to Japan's mining industry.

There are many gold and silver deposits discovered in Japan, but the annual gold and silver production is not high, because Japan's smelting technology is very backward.

In order to get more gold and silver from Japan as soon as possible, the owner of Yang Dadao sent out the craftsmen he brought, and those with experience in prospecting led people to prospect for minerals, and went to teach Japanese miners to improve smelting techniques when they were familiar with smelting.

In the original history, during the Ming Dynasty, the "soot blowing method" was introduced to Japan from Goryeo, which increased the production of silver in Japan several times.

The use of soot blowing to refine silver began to prevail in the Tang Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty has been using this method to smelt silver ore.

The so-called "soot blowing method" is a method of separating silver and lead. Silver ore generally has a very low silver content, and the key to silver smelting technology is how to enrich the silver.

Since lead and silver are completely miscible and have a low melting point, craftsmen add lead when smelting silver, so that the silver is dissolved in the lead, and the enrichment of silver is realized; Then blow air to oxidize the lead into the furnace ash and separate the silver.

This method can greatly increase silver production. Now the lord of Yang Oshima has generously taught it to Little Japan.

Hurry up and increase production, there are many silver ships waiting in Jiaolu Harbor!

The lord of Yang Oshima in the Iwami region also sent people.

Horikawa has ceded Iwami of the mountain, Satsuma and Osumi of Seikaido (Kyushu Island) to the lord of Yang Oshima, but at present, the three places are still controlled by the local daimyo, and Yang Yi asked Emperor Horikawa to send 1,000 men, plus 300 people from Lu Zhen, to go to conquer Iwami.

Iwami is only two or three days away from Heiankyo, and Iwami Ginzan is the largest silver mine in Japan, the ore content is high, easy to refine, in the Ming Dynasty, Iwami Ginzan can reach 40 tons of silver per year, accounting for one-fifth of the entire Japanese silver production.

Now the owner of Yang Dadao plans to develop Iwami Silver Mountain in advance to add a boost to the take-off of the Great Song Dynasty.

Satsuma is a gold mine over there, but it is far away from Heiankyo, and the owner of Yangda Island can't take care of it for a while, so he can only wait for Masato to sweep away the daimyo in various places, and then start to develop.

After arranging the day's work, it was already dusk, and the sky began to snow lightly, and the thin snowflakes fell into the yard, and soon melted, leaving a trail of water on the ground.

This is the first snow since the beginning of winter, and the temperature is already very low in various places, but Heiankyo is okay, it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, making Heiankyo warm in winter and cool in summer.

Yang Yi walked slowly along the corridor to the West Chamber, and the women who met him all bowed down and stood under the corridor, waiting for him to go far before they dared to straighten up; Ping Zhengsheng and all the big names who want to tie up with him, constantly select beauties to send to him, Yang Yi is to send them and receive them, and now there are nearly three hundred beauties in Washington, who are fat and thin, tall or petite, enchanting or pure, everything, just like a fragrant country.

The sliding door of the west chamber opened slightly, and the light came out, Yang Yi gently opened the door, and there was a stove in the room, which was as warm as spring; Yahuan Xiao Ai was guarding the stove, Qing Niang was sitting on the couch, and there was a yellowed book on a small table in front of her, looking at it with relish.

Japan had close contacts with the Tang Dynasty and purchased a large number of books from the Tang Dynasty, and many ancient Chinese books were lost to Japan.

During the Five Dynasties, the Central Plains was in turmoil, destroying countless books, and the Great Song Dynasty was burned several times, especially the fire in the Rongwang Palace in April of the eighth year of Zhenzong Dazhong Xiangfu (1015), which burned the palace collection of books.

The fire was burned from the Rongwang Palace on the night of April 23, when the gale came from the east, the fire was prosperous after the fifth watch, and before the dawn, the six palaces of the East Palace, such as King Yong, King Xiang, King Nanyang, King Yan, King Rong, etc., were all burned out for a while.

On the 24th, the fire burned to the Chengtian Gate again, burned the Yiluan Division in the west, the back pavilion of the Chaoyuan Palace, burned the inner storage library and the incense medicine library in the south, burned the left storage library in the east, and burned the Secret Pavilion History Museum in the west.

The books of the three halls of the Secret Pavilion were burned all at once. In the gale, scraps of paper flew all over the sky, and they floated to Bianshui...... At noon, burn the east corner tower of the Yuan Gate, and go to the court hall in the west. Before the time, the fire went out of the palace city, and burned the Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, and the Drum Division Inquisition. At night, more than 2,000 houses were burned, and more than 1,500 people died fighting the fire...... The fire burned for a whole day and two nights, engulfing countless riches. None of this is a big deal, and wealth can be recreated when it's gone.

The most deplorable thing is the countless books treasured in the Secret Pavilion, which are the crystallization of the wisdom of countless ancestors in China, and they will be gone if they are burned.

I don't know how many people sighed because of this: In the late Tang Dynasty and the fifth generation, only these books remained, who knew that there was such a fire, and there was nothing left, what a pity!

This time Qing Niang came to Japan, and found that some rare books that even the Great Song Dynasty did not have were in Japan, and her mind suddenly fell on this, which can be described as forgetting to sleep and eat.

Only Qing Niang would notice these books, Yang Yi only had gold and silver treasures and women in his eyes when he came to Japan, and it was impossible for him to think of collecting any ancient books.

Bringing Qing Niang to Japan this time, perhaps her contribution to the Great Song Dynasty will be no less than snatching back a lot of gold and silver.

Yang Yi also asked Emperor Horikawa to cooperate, and searched the palace and the homes of noble relatives, and the temple would not let go, because the most people who traveled to and from the Tang Dynasty in Japan were monks, and most of the culture of the Tang Dynasty was spread to Japan by monks.

Under this big search, I really found a lot of rare books. If Qing Niang gets the treasure, she will look through the books, but if she has not seen it in the Great Song Dynasty, she will sort out and copy it.

The reason why there is a transcription is because Qing Niang, this girl, is too kind and can't bear to rob people directly; Yang Yi was disobedient to her, so he only asked people to copy the copy, and when the time came, he brought the original back to the Great Song Dynasty.

In this way, people are also willing to hand over the books, otherwise they will be hiding, and no matter how much you search, it will be difficult to find them.

There are now two or three hundred women in the house, and they have nothing to do except wait for the lord of Yang Dadao, and most of these women are from noble backgrounds, literate and hyphenated, so they ask them to help Qing Niang copy every day.

It's okay to copy it wrong.,Anyway, Yang Dadao's main thing is the original.。

Yang Yi walked to the couch, gently picked up Qing Niang, and said softly: "Qing Niang, how many times have you said you, pay attention to your body, come, eat first." ”

"Brother Yang, wait a minute, I'll finish reading this volume with two more pages." Qing Niang fell into his arms, her eyes still reluctantly staring at the books on the table.

"But I'm hungry!"

As soon as Yang Yi said this, Qing Niang immediately obediently followed him to the stove to eat, she could sleep for the sake of books, but she couldn't see Yang Yi starving.

Xiao Ai neatly opened the dishes and chopsticks, opened the lid of the clay pot on the stove, and a pot of venison was stewed by Xiao Ai to be fragrant.

Yang Yi picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of deer breast for her.

"Qingniang, eat quickly, you are tired these days, you have to make up for your body."

As a result, Qing Niang gave him three pieces at once, squinted at a pair of small crescents and said with a smile: "Brother Yang is more tired, so he needs to make up for his body." ”

Yang Yi couldn't help but be a little embarrassed when he heard it, and he replied with a glaring of eyes: "What words?" Brother Yang, I have practiced magic skills, what kind of body do I want to make, the little girl doesn't know don't talk nonsense, eat quickly. ”

"Hee-hee-......" Qing Niang's eyebrows and eyes were even more curved.
