Chapter 170: Third-Party Transactions (2)

Yang Guang showed the demeanor of being a debater at the university, and used clear logic to say that Ikeda Hengxing was losing and retreating, so he had to honestly accept his identity as the leader of the inspection team, except for setting up cards outside the port to check the caravans, and he was not even qualified to enter the dock.

However, Ikeda did not stop there, but scattered all the Ashigaru soldiers he had brought with him, and strictly monitored the port of Nagashima, and any outsiders entering and leaving the port were carefully searched, and no entrainment was allowed.

After deliberately protesting twice, only to be "refuted" by Ikeda Hengxing's righteous words, Yang Guang ignored Ikeda's actions and allowed him to stay outside every day to drink wind and eat sand.

In the following days, Yang Guang took 30 of his family members to train on the beach outside the port every day, hoping to give them the ability to protect themselves as soon as possible.

For these families, it is not surprising that Yang Guang is engaged in maritime trade business, but there are some big businessmen in the Jiangnan area who have some doors and some net worth, who does not take this road?

Compared with those ordinary maritime merchants who are just doing business, their own masters are actually qualified to marry the Japanese princes, and they have also obtained a piece of land to build a port, which makes these families full of expectations, after all, everyone wants their masters to become stronger and stronger.

Yang Guang first demonstrated the process of loading ammunition and aiming and shooting, and then shot continuously to let these family members experience the power of the Wufeng Gun, forcibly changing the idea that firearms were unreliable in the hearts of these people.

The next thing to do is mechanical training, needless to say, this process must be very boring, but the family members selected by Yang Guang are all honest people, without too much messy thoughts, training is very hard every day but there is enough food supplement, and they can often eat luncheon meat, which also makes these family members have good morale and practice hard.

"Mr. Zhao, there is an envoy from the Hexagonal family here." A sailor ran over to Yang Guang and said, "Helm Ye, please come over!" ”

Yang Guang nodded, asked Zhao Wu to continue training those family members, followed the sailors back to the port, and saw the messenger from the Rokkaku family in the dormitory, and of course, Ikeda Hengxing at the same time.

"You are Zhao Jun, a merchant from the Ming Kingdom, right?" The envoy of the Hexagonal family said respectfully: "The head of the family asked me to come here for nothing else, just to hope that I could buy some Wufeng guns. ”

"No problem." Yang Guang replied as quickly as if he had endorsed it: "The new firearms of the Ming Kingdom, Wufeng Gun, 30 taels of gold each, a certain amount of lead bullet gunpowder, and the money and goods are not allowed to be owed on credit. In addition, I don't deliver the goods, I want you to ship them yourself. ”

The envoy of the Hexagon family seemed to have known the price for a long time, and there was no bargaining at all, and he said directly: "30 taels of gold? Well, I need 300, no problem? ”

Yang Guang nodded at the other party, and turned to Ikeda Hengxing and said, "According to the agreement between me and Nobuto, if the Oda family wants these 300 Wufeng guns, as long as the same conditions, that is, the price of 30 taels of gold, the Oda family has the right of first refusal. I would like to ask Ikeda-sama, does the Oda family need these firearms? ”

Ikeda Hengxing frowned but didn't know how to answer, of course the Oda family needs the Five Peaks, and the more the better, but unfortunately there is not so much gold, otherwise after the Ink Mata built the city, Oda Nobunaga would have continued to replenish the Five Peaks Guns from Yang Guang a long time ago.

Seeing that Ikeda Hengxing did not speak, Yang Guang asked again: "I promise not to sell any supplies to the enemies of the Oda family. What is the relationship between the Rokkaku family and the Oda family? If the two families are enemies, I will keep my promise. ”

Ikeda Hengxing gritted his teeth and said, "We are not in a hostile relationship with the Rokkaku. ”

"In that case, I'll complete this deal with the Hexagon family." Yang Guang said solemnly: "When the goods are delivered, Ikeda-sama can supervise them on the side, and all this will naturally be done by the people below, if there is nothing to do, I will retire first." ”

Ikeda Hengxing has a headache, as Oda Nobunaga's milk brother, of course he knows that Oda Nobunaga is determined to be in the world, and the Rokkaku family, which is strong and capable, will become the prey of the Oda family sooner or later, but at this stage, there is no conflict of interest with the Oda family at all, Ikeda Hengxing can only watch the other party deliver the gold and escort this batch of Wufeng guns away.

Two days later, the Rokkaku's caravan encountered robbers on the way, and after a fierce battle, there were no casualties except for one unlucky fellow who injured his foot, but most of the Rokkaku's goods were lost and were taken away by the leader of the robbers, Takenaka Hanbei.

This happened in the Mino area, and the intelligence power of the Oda family has not yet reached the point of pervasiveness, so naturally it is not clear. However, after the Rokkaku family bought back this batch of Wufeng guns, they didn't use it entirely for themselves, but changed hands at a high price and then sold it to other daimyo around, and it is said that the business is very good, and there have been seven or eight daimyo including the Miyoshi family who have bought a small amount back, and it seems that they are preparing to imitate it.

After careful preparations, Oda Nobunaga mobilized 7,000 troops and marched towards Sumamata Castle. Naturally, it was impossible for Mino Daimyo Saito Yoshiryu to sit idly by and watch Oda Nobunaga invade the territory, so he mobilized 12,000 soldiers as quickly as possible and went to Sumamata Castle to prepare to pull out the fish bone stuck in his throat at all costs.

A fierce battle broke out between the two sides a kilometer north of Sumata Castle, and the Saito family had a clear upper hand in terms of the number of troops, but the battle situation surprised everyone, and it was not the Oda family who seemed to be at a disadvantage, but the Saito family's army that attacked.

The Oda family's pre-arranged positions were densely packed with barbed wire bought from Yang Guang, and the Oda family's iron gunners could shoot in the back and harvest the lives of the attackers in large quantities.

There was absolutely no way for the Saito family's ashigaru soldiers to break through the barbed wire, and even if they used cavalry charges, the effect was minimal, and even if these brave samurai did not care about casualties, as long as their progress was stopped by the barbed wire, they would inevitably become the prey of the Oda family's iron gunners.

As a last resort, the Saito family used the Goho gun they had just bought. At the beginning, it did catch the Oda family army by surprise, but unfortunately the training time of these iron gunners was too short, and they failed to give full play to the advantages and power of the five peaks.
