In the battle of Kawanakajima, Uesugi Kenshin's main cavalry suffered great losses, but fortunately, the territory and population under his control were large enough, and it was not difficult to replenish the troops, but it would take a long time to restore the original combat effectiveness.
Uesugi Aya urgently bought 3,000 Wufeng guns from Yang Guang, the purpose is this, she wants to use Yang Guang's signboard to warn the guys inside and outside the territory that even if the Uesugi family has no cavalry, they still have iron cannons, and they have the same power to quell any rebellion.
Takeda Shingen's army suffered a lot of losses, and he himself had to be bedridden to recuperate, so it was impossible to take advantage of the loss of the Uesugi family's strength to engage in any large-scale military operations, and the two sides returned to the situation of mutual confrontation at the beginning, but mutual tolerance.
The Hojo family took the opportunity to enter the Kanto region in a big way, wanting to take advantage of the fact that Uesugi Kenshin and Takeda Shingen were unable to take care of it, but the Kanto region was full of heroes and powers, and how could they easily succumb to the Hojo family if they were unruly, and the Hojo family was deeply trapped in mud and was involved in all their energy.
Oda Nobunaga, who was advancing towards the region, was also met with stubborn resistance from the daimyo along the way, and the two daimyos, the Kitabatake family and the Asai family, whose territory bordered the Oda family, were secretly funded by the Rokkaku family.
Three lines, three battlefields, whether confrontation or confrontation, all the firearms used came from Yang Guang, allowing Yang Guang to earn gold from the arms trade. Since Yang Guang now only accepts the coins he made for settlement in all his business, no matter which merchant comes here, he can only take out the gold and silver he brings to exchange for gold and silver coins, and these coins cannot be used up just right, and there will be some surplus.
Japan's monetary system during the Warring States period was very chaotic, often the territory of a daimyo was the same, and the official copper coins were actually Yongle Tongbao of the Ming Dynasty. Under these circumstances, it was not difficult for the Japanese to accept the coins issued by Yang Guang, after all, these coins were supported by the hard currency of Wufeng, and there were a large number of dazzling various materials and commodities to match.
Merchants who returned to their homes with surplus coins would inevitably use the coins issued by Yang Guang when settling accounts with other merchants who had also been granted monopoly rights. At first, it was still circulated in a small area, and soon these high-quality and high-value gold and silver coins were integrated into the existing financial system and became a large monetary unit on top of Yongle Tongbao.
The machines at the base of Dayuan Island are running 24 hours a day, and the coins produced are still in "short supply" in the Japanese market, and many merchants who used to exchange coins only for shopping from Yang Guang have developed the habit of exchanging how much gold and silver directly into coins and carrying them around.
After all, there is no uniform specification for gold and silver in terms of weight and purity, and the procedure of checking the fineness of gold and silver is extremely cumbersome and complicated when trading, unlike the case of manufactured coins, which only need to be counted.
Of course, this is also related to the machines and technologies brought by Yang Guang from modern time and space, and the unique delicate lines cannot be imitated by outsiders, which in disguise improves the credibility of coins in the hearts of merchants.
A large number of merchants flocked to the port of Nagashima, making it the third largest commercial port in Japan, after Hirado Island and Kaishato. The arrival of the merchants filled Yang Guang's warehouses with countless amounts of gold and silver, and also sold the materials that Yang Guang had brought with him from modern time and space to various parts of Japan.
"Ming goods" were all the rage in Japan, and they also attracted many Franc machine merchants and Ming merchants. The Franc machine merchants are just that, those maritime merchants who can still travel freely between the Ming Dynasty and Japan when they are increasing the ban on the sea, all of them are people with a strong background, and they can't help but feel strange about the "Ming goods" brought by Yang Guang.
But after repeated inquiries, I could hardly find any information related to Yang Guang, and I didn't know where Yang Guang's goods came from, so naturally I couldn't get a piece of the pie with my deep background, which couldn't help but make people a little annoyed.
Some merchants focused on business, and they also followed the example of Japanese merchants, exchanging real money and silver for coins, winning regional monopoly rights in Yang Guang, and bringing the spices and so-called luxury goods brought from the "Ming Kingdom" back to the Ming Kingdom for sale.
However, some businessmen had the idea of eating black and quietly sent people to find out some news here in Long Island Harbor.
"Get on your knees!" Huang Laoqi held the dragon breath cannon, beckoned more than a dozen of his subordinates to escort the four men with big flowers into Yang Guang's room, and then said to Yang Guang: "Sir, these people have been sneaking around for the past few days, and they have kept asking about us, and they have been taken down by me!" ”
"Wronged! Wronged! One of the men shouted "The villain's eyes are born to be unable to control it, and I can't help it if I want to look east and west." The villain's mouth can't be idle, so he casually ......"
Without finishing a sentence, the guard who was standing next to him holding down the handle of the waist knife got Yang Guang's signal, pulled out the tungsten steel waist knife and slashed at the man who spoke. The latter didn't expect Yang Guang to kill him at all, he was tied up and knelt on the ground, even if he wanted to struggle to dodge, it was impossible, and he was beheaded by Yang Guang's personal guards, and the smell of blood quickly filled the entire room.
"Next!" Yang Guang drank tea and gave a faint order.
The guards who received the order did not wipe the blood from the waist knife, and just put it on the neck of another man who was kneeling on the ground next to him. The man was startled, and his eyes involuntarily looked towards his companion kneeling on his far right.
Yang Guang discovered this detail and nodded at Huang Laoqi, who understood and beckoned his subordinates to come over and dragged the other two men out again, leaving only the guy who was held by the waist knife on his neck.
"You don't have to say, I have two more people to ask." Yang Guang put down the tea bowl and said very briefly. For the outstretched black hands of some restless fellows, only by chopping off their fingers vigorously can they stun Xiao Xiao with blood all over the ground.
If the guy who was killed just now had gritted his teeth and kept his mouth shut, Yang Guang wouldn't really embarrass him, anyway, he could know what he wanted by using spells. But that person actually put on a rogue posture that the dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, and he really thought that the steel knife in Yang Guang's hand was a prop?
The frightened man honestly told everything he knew, Yang Guang's eyes lit up after hearing it, he didn't expect to find an opportunity to lure the snake out of the hole so soon. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
