Chapter 202: Echoes

However, Sunfu Castle was located in the center of the Takeda family's domain, and the north was all Takeda's territory, and it was a long way west to enter the barren Mikawa region, and to the east, over the mountains and mountains, was the Hojo family, which was constantly expanding eastward, and once stationed there, it was easy to cut off the way for other daimyo to buy firearms, and slowly became the royal merchant of the Takeda family.

Of course, one of the greatest advantages of this letter is that it introduces a "competition mechanism", and I believe that after Oda Nobunaga learns of the above contents, his attitude towards Nagashima Port will become more kind and correct.

With the wisdom of Takeda Shingen, there is no reason not to think of this, so Yang Guang speculated that the reason why the other party wrote this letter was to help himself with a big favor and earn a big favor.

Yang Guang didn't care about this kind of conspiracy, he decided to accept this small gift. However, the relationship between the Takeda family must be well maintained, but his nemesis, the Uesugi family, cannot be ignored either.

Uesugi Kenshin's territory, the two regions of South and North Etze, has a large number of gold and silver mountains, large plains for farming, and if you take the sea route, there are port anchors, and if you take the land route, there are important trade routes that run through the east and west, so it can be said that there is no shortage of people, money, and food.

When Takeda Shingen's power is getting stronger and stronger, it is necessary to have a strong opponent to restrain him, Yang Guang is not ready to let Oda Nobunaga and Takeda Shingen collide at this time, so the best choice is Takeda Shingen's nemesis, Uesugi Kenshin.

――――――*――――――*――――――

"Mandarin Duck Array! It's Qi Jiajun! This cry of terror came from the midst of a large crowd of noisy pirates, who apparently suffered at the hands of these well-trained soldiers.

"Don't be afraid! We've got the Five Peaks! Several Japanese samurai dressed as Japanese warriors pushed their companions away and stood side by side at the front of the line, reloading their ammunition and shouting loudly to boost their morale and prevent the frightened birds from turning and fleeing.

When the Wufeng Gun was fired, several people fell down in the Qi family army on the opposite side, but the disciplined Qi family army soldiers did not have an impact on morale, and still held weapons and fought tacitly.

No matter how good the Wufeng gun is, it is only an arquebus after all, and it takes time to reload ammunition, and before the mandarin duck formation of the Qi family's army rushed over, the Japanese samurai only fought two rounds, and then fell into a brutal hand-to-hand combat.

After the Qi family army annihilated this group of would-be robbers, the general who led the team picked up the Wufeng Gun that fell to the ground with some curiosity and looked at it carefully. As a soldier, the general, of course, was well aware of the advantages and disadvantages of various firearms, and soon he discovered that this was a very advanced and powerful new firearm, and quickly passed the news back.

"My lord, this is the latest firearm used by the Wakos!" On the school field of the Governor's Mansion of Zhejiang, Qi Jiguang clasped his fists at Hu Zongxian and said: "Shooting with this firearm is extremely high within dozens of steps, and our army has suffered a lot of losses. ”

Hu Zongxian personally watched several elite shooters in the army use the Wufeng gun to shoot, and found that the reloading speed was faster and the accuracy rate was higher, but the muzzle was small and the range was not as good as that of the Franc machine. He picked up a five-peak gun and looked at it for a long time before he asked, "Could it be that the Japanese people made it themselves?" ”

Qi Jiguang replied: "My lord, I interrogated the Japanese prisoners, saying that this thing came from some hexagonal family in, but it seems that this Japanese daimyo was also bought from elsewhere. It is very strange that these Japanese people actually claimed that this thing was a new firearm of our Ming Dynasty, and that it was sold at a high price by merchants from the Ming Kingdom. Daimyo such as Oda and Takeda were heavily equipped with this item and annexed many territories. ”

Hearing this, Hu Xianzong once again fiddled with the Wufeng Gun in his hand, shook his head and said, "Impossible. If I had such a firearm, the Ministry of Industry would have reported it to the truth, so why didn't the old man know? ”

Qi Jiguang hesitated for a moment, but continued: "My lord, this kind of firearm is called Wufeng Gun!" ”

"What?!" When Hu Zongxian heard this extremely sensitive name, his face suddenly changed slightly: "Could it be the remnants of that person?" ”

At this time, Xu Wei, a staff member next to him, spoke: "Don't worry, in my opinion, this is just a Japanese people who admire my Heavenly Empire and deliberately lie about it." In the past, that person had hundreds of thousands of subordinates under his command, and the ships were innumerable, if there was such a thing, how could he still accept the imperial court's recruitment? ”

When Hu Zongxian heard Xu Wei say this, he felt that he was too nervous, and said with a smile: "This is reasonable! The Japanese didn't know about my great Ming thing Hua Tianbao from there, but when he heard the name of that person, he took it as his name indiscriminately. There was no fear that the man's subordinates would fall apart after his death, and if there really was such a sharp weapon, how could it be sold to the Japanese people? ”

Qi Jiguang also felt that this statement was very reasonable, so he didn't continue to speak, and asked instead: "My lord, now that the Japanese have this thing, it will kill our soldiers very much, how should we deal with it?" ”

Qi Jiguang is not really helpless, but the development of firearms is such a thing, it must be Hu Zongxian or even a higher-level official to come forward, as a military general who is very suspicious of literati, Qi Jiguang of course has to avoid suspicion as much as possible, which is also the key to him always being able to avoid evil and focus on training soldiers and marching to fight as much as possible.

Of course, Hu Zongxian knew Qi Jiguang's mentality, he looked at Xu Wei, the staff member beside him, and said: "If the Japanese can make it, I can naturally build it in the Ming Dynasty, so I will order it to go down, and ask Wen Chang to bother more!" ”

"Your Highness Aya, this is my gift to Lord Uesugi Kenshin, and this letter, please pass it on for me." Yang Guang stood in the middle of the room and pointed to a full-body armor in front of him.

As soon as Uesugi Aya saw this full-body armor, he felt an indescribable love in his heart, he stroked it a few times, and found that the armor was made of stainless steel, and I don't know what kind of skill the craftsman used, the whole set of armor looked a little thin, but the weight was also reduced a lot.

Of course, the most important thing is that some words faintly appeared on this set of full-body armor, Uesugi Aya took a closer look, and found that it was the Buddhist scripture that his brother Uesugi Kenshin read most often, and I believe that my brother will be very happy to accept this gift after seeing it.

Seeing the look on Ayasugi's face, Yang Guang knew that the gift he made with his own hands must be very satisfying to him, this was not an ordinary set of full-body armor, Yang Guang used Mithril to draw a magic array on it, and the contents of those Buddhist scriptures on it were actually mainly to cover up those magic arrays.
