Chapter 406: Arms Dealer Second Update
Luo Luo has one more alliance leader, and warmly celebrates that the South China Sea Zhenyun has become the leader of the alliance, Wencheng Wude, and dominates the rivers and lakes! In addition, Luo Luo must add more, but there is no manuscript now, and Luo Luo is working hard to code words. It's too late today, and it's going to be back tomorrow. Finally, ask for a commuter pass!
Peach Blossom Harbor is located on the east side of Peach Blossom Island, and from the map, it looks like a standard bay with an inward depression. The bay is square and surrounded by land on three sides, and on the innermost side is a sandy beach several miles long, and the water level is shallow enough to dock large boats. The water level on the north and south sides of the bay is deeper, which is where the port wharf is located. To the south is the original Song Army's water village, which has been temporarily expanded, eight fortune boats were nailed together end to end, dragged to the entrance of the bay and laid down the iron anchor, and the last of a fortune boat was also directly stranded on the beach, forming a ship wall. Within the walls of the ship are the temporary nests of dozens of warships and transports. A wooden fort was also erected on the hillside at the southern entrance to the bay. Eight 3-inch bronze cannons were erected to block the shipping lane.
When several Japanese-style galleys (Tang Dynasty envoys) shook their long oars and slowly sailed into Taohua Harbor, eight 3-inch cannons on the fort fired a salute at the same time to welcome them. At the same time, there was also a hot air balloon painted with the pattern of the sun and the moon, which was raised into the air at a height of twenty or thirty feet.
"Babel! Babel! It's really flying! You can really fly......"
It's good that the Japanese on the ship heard the thunder-like sound of cannons, and compared to the fact that these cannons were empty. But when I saw the hot air balloon rising high, I had the same reaction as the Tartars in Liaodong and the ignorant people on Ganghwa Island.
"Immortals, there are really immortals......"
Rao is a big man like Toshige Hojo. I was prepared to see a hot air balloon the size of a house floating in the sky. Still amazed, I almost couldn't stand on my feet.
"Mr. Ren, this. This...... Isn't this really a spell? ”
Unlike other religions, which like to use conjures as spells, Chen Dexing's Tiandao religion has abandoned this backward method of pretending to be a god and ghosts, and has replaced it with the progressive word "science."
"It's not a spell, it's science!" Ren Daoxing pinched three locks of long beard and replied lightly. "This science is the general name of a knowledge in the universe, and it is more powerful than magic!"
Ren Dao made an effort to explain to Hojo Toshigeru what science was, although he didn't know much about it himself.
"More powerful than spells......" Hojo Shigeru swallowed, thinking in his heart. Science is more powerful than magic, so are Taiyi God and King Ming also more powerful than other immortals?
Thinking of this, Hojo Shigeru hurriedly knelt down and bowed to the hot air balloon in the sky.
Ren Daoxing on the side smiled coldly, there are still many things that shocked you! If you refuse to be convinced in Putuo Mountain this time, you will go to Ping'anjing Street to shoot people alive in the future! I don't believe that you weak chicken-like tarthris can be much stronger than the wild tartars in Liaodong.
"Oh, it's a friend from Japan who came, and it's not a petty official who came to watch the pomp."
At this time, Chen Dexing was holding a telescope from the watchtower of Taohuagang Water Village to watch the Japanese galleys entering the port. There were a total of four Japanese galleys and a 3,000-ship belonging to the Beiyang Fleet. The size of the four Japanese ships was not small. All of them are more than ten zhang long. The freeboard is not very high and is driven with long oars and canopy sails. The canopy also has the triangular coat of arms of the Hojo family painted on it, which looks the same as the family crest of the Hojo family in the latter part of the Dark Glory game.
The four Japanese ships were also more elaborately built, brightly painted, and there were small wooden houses on the decks. It is a red-roofed (spired) white wall, and a wooden lattice window. It looks like a small house on land. On the foredeck of the leading Japanese ship, there seemed to be several men worshipping hot air balloons. Looking at their clothes, it's clear what kind of big shots they are.
"The king, it should be a character from the Hojo family. The status is not low, maybe it is the princess of the North Six Polo who explored the topic of Mao. ”
"It's okay to say Shigeru Hojo. Don't add anything to the male, he can't stand it. Chen Dexing put down the binoculars and lightly corrected Xiao Ai's words. Xiao Ai is now a Taoist aunt of the Heavenly Taoist Sect and a disciple of Chen Dexing, the king of Ming. And what the North Six Polo probe should be on an equal footing.
"Oh." Xiao Ai nodded obediently.
Chen Dexing looked down the tower again, and a large number of Nanfan envoys and entourages in different costumes were also looking at the hot air balloon with their necks tilted. These envoys have come one after another in the past few days, and when they saw the hot air balloon in the sky, they were naturally so surprised that their jaws were about to drop. Except for one Annamite surnamed Chen, who could barely stand, the messengers of Champa, Khmer, Sukhothai, Srivijaya and Ryukyu knelt on the spot.
"Alright, everyone is here." Chen Dexing turned around and said with a smile to Liu Xuan, a servant of the Goryeo Kingdom who had already converted to the Heavenly Taoism, and said, "Liu Qing, you Goryeo have always had dealings with Japan, so you will entertain Hojo Toshimo, and after dinner, you will take him to the shooting range." ”
"Commandment." Liu Yu replied respectfully. He can now claim to be a vassal in front of Chen Dexing. Because he is now Han...... Oh, it should be said that he has always been a Han Chinese. CultureLiu originated from China, and its ancestors can be traced back to Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor - although there is a suspicion of Gao Pan, the ancestors of the Liu family are indeed Han people who migrated to the Goryeo Peninsula during the Western Han Dynasty.
Now that the Han people are first-class people and the Koreans are second-class people, the cultural Liu clan naturally has to climb to a higher place, and turned out the family tree to show Chen Dexing, restoring the identity of the Han people. Yoo himself was knighted for his past merits and received a 300-acre grange outside the port of Busan. These 300 acres of grange cannot be compared with the Liu's feudal county in Goryeo (the Liu's owns the feudal title of a county), but the identity of a shilord makes the king of Goryeo rely on him and dare not eradicate him.
After a respectful salute, Liu Yu turned around and went down the watchtower to greet the visiting Hojo Shige on the edge of the dock. Although there were some contacts between Goryeo and Japan in the past, they were all low-level petty officials visiting each other, and it was actually the first time that an official of the level of Goryeo's subordinate Shizhong (Prime Minister) and Japan's Northern Rokuropola Detective met each other. However, there was no difficulty in communicating with each other, because both sides could speak Chinese, which was almost the international language of East Asia at this time. The big names of the Goryeo, Japanese, Ryukyu and Annam-Chan dynasties can all speak of it. Even the envoys of the Khmer, Cham and Srivijaya outside the Chinese cultural circle are all overseas Chinese who can speak fluent Chinese.
"Shooting range? What to do at the shooting range? When will we meet King Ming? After a simple meal, Tokishige Hojo didn't seem to be very satisfied with the arrangement of a visit to the shooting range.
"Naturally, I went to the shooting range to see the target," Liu Yu replied with a smile, "Let the accompanying monks rest first, and the probe and the samurai will come and see...... There's something good to see! ”
Good stuff? What good things to see at the shooting range?
When he arrived at the shooting range, Hojo Toshigeru found that it was like a vegetable market, bustling with envoys from all over the country. Look at their appearances are all black and thin, somewhat like monkeys, I don't think they are Han Chinese, I guess they are the messengers of the legendary southern countries.
Looking at the center of the shooting range again, Tokimo Hojo was surprised to see dozens of pigs in armor standing there! Well, it's not Zhu Bajie, it's just an ordinary fat pig, with its hind feet on the ground and its front feet raised, all tied to wooden poles. The poles were inserted into the ground. So the pigs all howled, as if they already knew something was wrong.
Looking at this formation, it's a bit like shooting a target, does His Royal Highness King Ming want to shoot pigs to play?
Several artillerymen pushed a torsion stone machine into the shooting range and stopped at a distance of 200 paces from the fat pig array. He began to fiddle with the stone machine, which looked strange to the envoys of various countries.
"Ladies and gentlemen, that thing is called a torsion stone machine, a sharp weapon invented by His Royal Highness King Ming four years ago, which can be used to throw stones 200 steps away, but what we want to lose now is the infinitely powerful heavenly thunder! Everyone's eyes are on it......"
There were also several young people wearing brocade robes at the scene, talking and distributing proclamations. Tokimo Hojo also took a copy, and when he looked down, there was a drawing on it of a torsion stone machine, and there was a spherical thing next to it. There is also a description below the pattern, which is to introduce the model of the stone generator and the thunder and the price - this thing is a militaristic weapon, how can it still be bought and sold?
At this moment, a rapid drum beat sounded, and the stone machine that had been used for the performance had been fiddled. I saw a Ming artilleryman wrenching an axe somewhere on the stone machine. Then a wooden pole on the stone machine suddenly bounced up, and the canopy slammed somewhere. There was something like an iron pot on the head of the wooden pole, and there seemed to be a black ball in it, and under the thrust of the wooden pole, it flew out violently, drew a perfect parabola in the air, and then smashed into the fat pig formation with a pop. However, it didn't hit any fat pigs.
"Didn't hit ......"
As soon as this thought arose in the minds of the audience, a loud sound like the earth shaking the mountains came! I saw a fireball rising among the fat pigs, scattering gravel and sand, and a column of blue-black smoke rose.
A gust of sea breeze dispersed the smoke, and then the gruesome scene was displayed in front of the envoys. The pigs were all unlucky, and the pigs near the center of the explosion were already drenched in blood, bleeding from the seven orifices, and the pigs were dying. Those who were a little farther away were also holding the pig's head, humming and chirping, and it seemed that it was also a dead pig. It is the outermost pig, there are several holes in the body that spurt blood, and the armor they wear is like paper paste, I don't know if it has been cut by something, and it does not play a protective role at all. It seems that these blood-spurting pigs are also about to die.
"Let's take a closer look, how can you see so far away? Let's take a closer look. An official from the Ming Dynasty in a red official uniform walked up to these fat pigs who had suffered, and waved to the envoys of various countries who were watching around him, and shouted, "Everyone get closer and look carefully, and only after you look carefully can you go back and talk to your king!" This hair stone and heavenly thunder are sharp weapons that cost the lives of the two Great Khans of Mongolia! There is only King Ming in the whole world, and there is only one for sale here...... The only good thing, if you miss it, you may ruin the country! (To be continued......)
