Chapter 382: Hollowing Out Japan
Japan has poor resources, barren land, and is sitting on the crater, just talking about the place, it is definitely a bitter force, of course, this is also matched by their lack of morality and filthy conduct, it happens to be Wu Dalang playing with nightingales, who plays with birds!
However, God still left a little way to live, and there are many gold and silver mines in the Japanese archipelago, as well as a large number of copper mines. At one time, Japan accounted for one-third of the world's gold and silver production, and it was still the largest copper producer! For a long time, Japan used this gold and silver to buy Chinese products.
China has everything, but there is a lack of gold, silver and copper, Gu Zhenhua can only set his eyes on the Japanese, and it just so happens that Sakai Tadashi took the initiative to send it to the door, if he doesn't start, I'm sorry for myself!
Gu Zhenhua smiled slightly: "Mr. Sakai, this king heard that there is a Foot Tail Copper Mountain in the Japanese Kingdom, which stretches for hundreds of miles and is dozens of miles wide, and it is rich in copper ore, I don't know if it's true?" β
The Chinese of this era did not care much about the outside, and even who was in charge of Japan and where the capital was may not be clear. However, Gu Zhenhua talked about the copper mine in one mouth, and it was so accurate, it also scared Sakai Tadasheng, this Royal Highness really has a chance to be a ghost!
"Your Highness, it's true, but this copper mine belongs to the shogunate, and the copper produced will not be exported!"
Gu Zhenhua suddenly smiled and said: "Mr. Sakai, in the eyes of this king, there is nothing in this world that cannot be sold, the only question is whether you can afford to pay enough money." β
When Sakai heard this, he bowed down more and more, and said humbly: "Your Highness, copper is the raw material for making cannons, and we also have to build artillery, and there are also copper coins that are minted, and they are used a lot, so it is really inconvenient to sell them. β
Gu Zhenhua's face remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Sakai, you don't want to sell copper, and you want to buy Daming's silk porcelain." This is a bit whimsical! If you want to make a pixiu that you can't eat, this king will not embarrass you, and when one day the tartar is leveled, this king will go and get it, and at that time, you had better pray for the kamikaze to come again, otherwise the jade will be burned! β
If you say turn your face, you turn your face. He was still smiling just now, but in a blink of an eye, Gu Zhenhua showed a hideous appearance, and he directly threatened to use force, Sakai was so frightened that he trembled, he didn't doubt Gu Zhenhua's strength at all. After all, as soon as he landed on Chinese soil, he heard rumors about the king of Zhongshan everywhere. And there was a team of security ** escorting them over. Sakai personally asked the samurai around him.
These samurai are all the elite of An ** Cheng DΓΉ is not under them at all, think about it, the samurai around Sakai are carefully selected, and An ** casually took out a few soldiers, and they were not weaker than them. How big China is, how big is Japan, if this behemoth really shoots at Japan. I'm afraid that no one can predict the consequences!
"Your Royal Highness, Japan is a country that is not conquered, and General Tokugawa has a good way of governing the country, if you really want to do something to Japan, I am afraid that you will repeat the mistakes of the Yuan Dynasty and the Tatars!"
"Hahaha, the country that is not conquered? So what's going on with the Wokos? Is there a rule in this world that the light is beaten, but you can't fight back? As for whether we can win or not, then ask my army. I think they all want to go overseas and make a career! β
Shang Pei heard Gu Zhenhua threatening Sakai, and she immediately laughed: "What's so great about Japan, Princess Ben annihilated more than 3,000 soldiers of the Satsuma Domain in the Ryukyus. Otherwise, the Ryukyus will act as a pawn to attack Japan, and I think Korea may be willing to do it together when the time comes, and the Japanese will be bulldozed, and all the four islands will be ours! β
Sakai Tadakatsu's face was gloomy and scary. He stared at Gu Zhenhua and asked coldly, "Your Royal Highness, do you have to use force against Japan?" β
"No, this king thinks of peaceful trade. Both sides are buying and selling, and I am not full of food. But if your country is unwilling to sell anything, and you still want to get goods from Daming, in addition to being abducted and deceived, you can only rob it. This king doesn't know what to be gentle and frugal, and there is only one strategy for potential enemies, and that is to kill to the end! β
When Gu Zhenhua spoke, he slashed his palm and made a head-cutting motion, which made Sakai Tadashi's neck cold and his whole body was cold.
"Lord Wang, who are you going to kill?"
Wu Kaijie walked in from the outside with a dusty face.
When Gu Zhenhua saw it, he immediately smiled and said, "How is the errand in Taiyuan?" β
"Back to the prince's words, it's almost the same, you can rest assured that the humble post has also brought you back a lot of gifts, please see it for yourself in a while!"
After finishing speaking, Wu Kaijie looked at Sakai Tadatsu, and suddenly smiled: "Lord Wang, look at the outfit, this should be a widow, right?" β
"Don't be so rude, call it a Japanese friend now!"
"Oh! That's the old woko! Wu Kaijie smiled and stared at Sakai, looking at him all over his body.
"Lord Wang, this widow, no, how did the Japanese friend provoke you?"
He asked the king for trade, and he agreed, but he said that the copper mines in the country would not be sold. How much is produced in Tiny Japan? If they don't even sell copper, what can they sell? According to this king's opinion, most of them are ill-intentioned! β
After Wu Kaijie understood, his eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "Lord Wang, you are too worried about your humble position, this Mr. Sakai is so respectful, he is definitely not a bad person, am I right?" β
Sakai couldn't figure out what medicine was sold in the gourd, so he could only nod and say, "That's right, the foreign minister will never dare to covet the Celestial Empire." β
Wu Kaijie smiled: "That's right, but do you still want to do this trade thing?" β
"That's nature, this is the mission of the foreign minister, Japan and the Ming Dynasty have cut off trade for decades, and the upper and lower levels are extremely salivating for the products of the Celestial Empire!"
Wu Kaijie nodded, thought for a while and said, "If you want to buy, we are willing to sell, but you can't empty the white wolf!" The gold, silver, and copper of your Wa Kingdom must be sold to the Celestial Empire! β
Sakai Tadashi frowned, and said for a while: "Japan can sell some, but the Tokugawa general has formulated a decree to close the country, trade is limited to the Ming Dynasty and the Netherlands, and the gold, silver and copper that can be sold are limited, don't you buy sulfur and swords, don't you buy sulfur and swords, Japan's katana is the best ...... in the world"
"Don't be ashamed!" Shang Pei suddenly smiled: "The frog at the bottom of the well, I dare to say that it is the first in the world, these four words are too worthless!" β
Sakai Tadakatsu's eyes suddenly widened, and he might be able to endure other things, but when it comes to the samurai sword that Japan is proud of, it pokes the flesh of his heart.
"The sharpness of the samurai sword in Great Japan is the highest in the world, and a sword is worth a lot. It's a magic weapon! β
Shang Pei sneered, "It's useless to brag, let's compare on the spot if you have the ability, whose knife is sharper!" β
"Okay, then give it a try!"
When the two sides talk about this, they can only compare with each other.
Gu Zhenhua took them to the East Cross Courtyard of the Palace, which was a martial arts arena. Usually where Gu Zhenhua practiced martial arts, Sakai called a samurai under him, holding a fine katana in his hand, this guy's mouth was like eighty thousand, and his eyes were full of emptiness.
Gu Zhenhua quietly grabbed Shang Pei and said with a smile: "Pei Pei." Will you succeed? β
"Hmph, don't think that just because you have a treasure, my dignity as a princess will not be bad. To tell you the truth, I spent a lot of money to buy a Kris's sword from Nanyang! β
When Gu Zhenhua heard this, he was immediately relieved, he was even powerful with a Krix sword. I just gave it to Ma Yanran, but I didn't expect Shang Pei to have it too, and there was no problem at all with the katana.
Shang Pei stood slim, and slowly pulled out his Criss sword, and a cold light poured out from the sheath, as if it was a poisonous snake spitting letters.
"Come on, let Princess Ben see how powerful your katana is!"
"Ahh The samurai of the Wa Kingdom held a katana and rushed towards Shang Pei.
Sword strike. In an instant, sparks burst out, and only a smack was heard, and the upper half of the katana was gone, and the Krix sword in Shang Pei's hand was unharmed.
The samurai stared at the broken knife in his hand, his eyes widened like that of an ox, and he suddenly screamed and turned the blade. It pierced into the stomach.
Gu Zhenhua's hand was quick, he suddenly took out the handcuff from his arms, threw it over, and smashed it on this guy's wrist. Bang, the broken knife fell to the ground, this guy is alive and dead.
"This is the king's mansion, if you want to die, find a pit!"
Soldiers on both sides also rushed up and dragged the guy away.
Sakai Tadashi stood stupidly on the spot, he didn't know the Krix sword, he just thought it was forged by An **, his face was full of disbelief, and he muttered: "How is this possible, how is it possible!" How could Japanese weapons be so vulnerable? β
Wu Kaijie smiled contemptuously at this time: "Mr. Sakai, there are some things I didn't want to say, what katana?" Isn't it that the techniques of the Tang knife have been transmitted to Japan, and the Central Plains no longer use the Tang knife due to the change of tactics, and you have kept it, and you really regard this thing as your own? And what is the difference between the kimono on the body and the clothes of the Tang Dynasty, in a word, tell you that Japanese weapons are not worth a penny in the eyes of the Celestial Empire. β
"No, no, you're lying, my katana, we still have the bird. The bird gun with a very long range, the Qi family army had to copy our bird gun back then! β
Gu Zhenhua looked up to the sky and laughed: "If you don't grow, you really don't grow." Don't you know that the Celestial Empire is the ancestor of firearms? The gunpowder spread to the West, and they made the firecracker, and you accidentally got the firecracker of the Dutch Hongyi, and after copying it, you took it as your own, and turned around and showed off to us, which is simply an axe! β
"No, I don't believe it!"
Sakai Tadakatsu screamed hoarsely.
Gu Zhenhua didn't care, took a Mini rifle from the soldier's hand, and said to Sakai with a smile: "Do you want to try again?" β
Like a red-eyed gambler, Sakai hurriedly picked out the best birdie. At this time, there were already soldiers one hundred and fifty paces away, erecting targets.
Sakai's eyes suddenly widened, and he asked in surprise, "This, why is this so far away?" β
Before his words fell, Gu Zhenhua knocked on the trigger, and a lead bullet spun, accurately hitting the target one hundred and fifty steps away, and drilling a hole in the straw man's head!
Sakai Tadakatsu faced such a distance, but he couldn't knock the trigger for a long time, and the bird gun couldn't shoot this distance at all, let alone hit accurately, this is simply an impossible task!
After standing for a long time, Sakai went limped and threw himself on the ground.
"The Celestial Empire is the Celestial Empire in the end, such a sharp weapon, the destruction of Japan is not empty words!"
Gu Zhenhua smiled slightly: "Are you convinced?" β
"Obey, serve, there is such a sharp weapon, if the prince invades Japan, I am afraid that no one will be able to stop you."
"Do you want these weapons?"
"What!" Sakai was so frightened that he jumped up from the ground, trembling with excitement.
"Your Royal Highness, are you willing to sell such a sharp weapon to Japan?"
Gu Zhenhua said with a smile: "The Heavenly Empire will never be as complacent and self-righteous as the border islands. As long as you can sell the copper ore, this king can sell you these weapons! β
When Sakai heard this, his heart immediately fluttered, why he was reluctant to sell the copper mine, it was nothing more than to make weapons. The Tokugawa shogunate had just been established, and it was not stable enough internally, and it needed strong force to suppress all sides. If you get the current firecracker, such a range, so accurate, killing people is like a game, who can not be impressed!
"Okay, the ministers agreed, and the ministers all agreed!"
Gu Zhenhua saw that the little devil took the bait, and immediately smiled: "Three conditions, allow the export of gold, silver and copper, allow the craftsmen of the Celestial Empire to participate in mining, and allow the merchants of the Celestial Empire to buy the mine land, as long as you agree to these, you can have as many weapons as you want." β
Sakai Tadashi was quite sober-minded, and he didn't dare to nod directly.
"Your Royal Highness, I'm afraid things will have to go through General Tokugawa Iemitsu."
"No problem, this king will arrange for men to go to Japan with you, and we will bring the most advanced arms. It is with these weapons that you have defeated the Tartars, as long as you have them, it is easy to control the country and eliminate all opposition forces! β
Sakai Tadakatsu, who was dazed by the flickering, returned to the pavilion with a full sense of pride. Gu Zhenhua called Wu Kaijie to his study for the first time.
"How's the errand in Shanxi?"
"Lord Qiqi, Geng Zhongming's father and son have already sent Fan Yongdou and others, and they have also offered six million taels of silver and a hundred beauties, so I hope we can send troops to help!"
"Hahaha, let him look forward to it, this king will definitely disappoint him!"
Gu Zhenhua said again: "I just slaughtered Geng Zhongming, and the bigger fat sheep of the wolf was sent to the door, it is really God's favor!" β
"Lord Wang, is the Wa Kingdom really so fat? Worth the effort? β
Gu Zhenhua nodded without hesitation: "I sue you, the total number of gold and silver mines and copper mines in the Wa Kingdom is more than that of the Ming Dynasty combined, and the small archipelago does not produce anything else, but the amount of these things is amazing." This time, we must use commodities and weapons to open the doors of Japan, squeeze all their gold and silver, mine all the copper mines, and I will turn Japan into a wasteland! β
