Chapter 209: The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings
Yang Guang stood at the window of the room, and from here he could see at a glance the more than 200 people who were training in a queue outside the port. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 InfoExcept for Zhao Wu and 30 family members, the rest of the people are subordinates of Oda City and Takeda Katsuyori.
Yang Guang knew very well what the purpose of these two people was, but he was happy to see their actions come to fruition, after all, when he left, the defense force of Long Island Port would definitely be greatly weakened, and it would not be a bad thing to have two hundred more helpers who could use the Wufeng Gun at this time.
From the third arrival in Japan to the present, Yang Guang has sold more than 15,000 Goho guns, which must be thanks to Oda Nobunaga's "promotional activities", when he changed the name of the city to "Gifu", announcing his ambition in the world, the surrounding Daimyo who is like a great enemy where can he sit still, have taken out real money to Yang Guang to buy Gofeng guns, to add some security to himself.
In addition to the customers in this area, the Hojo family, who had just been beaten by Uesugi Kenshin with his younger brother, also bought 2,000 Goho guns at any cost, and their situation was quite embarrassing.
The Hojo family's increased power naturally brought other daimyo from the entire Kanto region of Japan into the arms race, and the chain reaction led to the daimyo farther east being drawn into it.
Needless to say, the price of the Wufeng gun is expensive, but if you can survive in the troubled times of Japan to the current daimyo, how can you save some money, one or two thousand can't afford it, dozens or hundreds of it is still no problem, at least when the enemy uses this kind of firearm, your own side is helpless and can only be beaten and unable to fight back.
To be able to do this, the most critical place is that the seamless steel pipe technology for making Wufeng guns cannot be imitated in this era, and at the same time, the Ming Dynasty is also a behemoth in the eyes of the Japanese, and it is not uncommon to have such advanced technology, of course, the limited power of this era is difficult to threaten Yang Guang, so that he can calmly use arms to obtain capital.
If it were placed in modern time and space, and a technological product that was ahead of its time suddenly appeared, it is estimated that the seller would have become the target of close monitoring by intelligence organizations around the world. If this kind of technological product is still a military product of this era, I am afraid that the FBI and MI6 would have been shot at any cost, and if I can't get it, I will destroy it and not let others get it.
If you want to give full play to the power of the Five Peaks, it will take several months of training, so after Yang Guang sold a large number of the Five Peaks, an extremely strange "peace" situation appeared in Japan from to Kanto.
It's just that everyone who sees this situation will have thoughts in their hearts such as "the mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings", and once those Wufeng musketeers who are training have mastered the weapons in their hands, all-out war will inevitably break out.
Such an outcome is exactly what Yang Guang wants to see, and what could attract arms dealers more than the sound of an explosion when a bullet is fired? Seeing that he had been here long enough, the sales of Wufeng Gun had reached a saturation level, and the remaining thousands of them were no longer sellable, Yang Guang decided to sail back to the base on Dayuan Island.
Because Oda City and Takeda Katsuyori were in Nagashima Harbor, Yang Guang only left 60 sailors to maintain daily order and take all the ships with him.
In addition to a large amount of gold, these fortune ships were also loaded with hundreds of strong laborers, a small part of whom were captured by the Kitabatake family, and the rest were all bought captives of the Saito and Imagawa families, who were of little use in the hands of Oda Nobunaga and Takeda Shingen, and it was definitely a very good deal to exchange them for some Goho guns.
The development of the Dayuan Island base is a hard work, and it is hard and morale-damaging for sailors to do it for a long time, so it is much easier for them to drive the labor from Japan with the Wufeng Gun. As for whether it was the "evil slave trade", how could Yang Guang take this reputation to heart?
These laborers had been screened before they were bought, and they were basically farmers without samurai, who lacked the necessary fighting skills and were used to being oppressed by the rulers, and who would work honestly as long as they were not too abusive.
In the history of modern time and space, the Japanese peasants were very docile, and they rarely resisted when they were heavily taxed by the rulers, and even when they could not survive at all, they only went to grab rice.
Now these guys have been brought to the base of Dayuan Island, and they still have to work hard every day, cutting trees and chiseling stones or something is definitely much more tiring than farming, but they can eat enough, and even have meat to eat if they behave well, and as long as they obey the rules, they will not be whipped and beaten, and they will not suddenly have to take a weapon to the battlefield to die. With the exception of a few restless people, the vast majority of laborers felt that such a life seemed to be good.
If it were someone else, they would definitely not be able to give such good treatment to these laborers, after all, in an overseas place like Dayuan Island, food and other things are quite important. But for Yang Guang, 2 yuan and 1 kilogram of aged rice in modern time and space is enough for the Japanese laborers on Dayuan Island to provide a day's rations.
Dayuan Island is isolated overseas, although the conditions are very simple, but it is far away from the behemoth of the Ming Dynasty, and the people stationed here are all Ye Zongman's most trusted subordinates, so there is no need to worry about doing things.
Tons of gold brought back from Japan were re-smelted here and melted into gold bricks, which were stored in a heavily guarded Shandong province. On the leveled beach, sailors train in groups every day, and the explosions fired by the five peaks are always heard. In other words, in Yangzhou, even in the relatively remote suburbs of Zhuangzi, it is impossible to be so unscrupulous.
In order to ensure the absolute safety here, Yang Guang even left the Taishan behind, and Ye Zongman also personally sat here, only Wang Ying took the bodyguard thirteen and a few others to follow Yang Guang back to Yangzhou on a small lucky boat.
Every time Yang Guang was in Yangzhou City, he would carefully read the newspaper collected by Fang Shan for him, which was an important way for him to grasp the dynamics of the imperial court, and this time was of course no exception. The only difference from before is probably the fragrance of Wang Ying's red sleeves next to her.
In this era, the government had no sense of secrecy at all, and Yang Guang could see in the newspaper any official to the imperial court, and he could also read the various decrees given by the imperial court to the locality, that is, the information was too messy and had to be reorganized.
After seeing an article about the Governor's Mansion of Zhejiang, Yang Guang said to himself: "It seems that Hu Zongxian is preparing to manufacture a large number of firearms!" (To be continued.) )
