Chapter 167: Arriving at Long Island Again
Shi Bin looked at the exotic customs in front of him with curious eyes, and felt that everything was so fresh and interesting, no wonder the ancients said "read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles", this sentence is indeed true. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Ten days ago, when Shi Bin first got on the boat, he was not used to the rough waves at all, but fortunately he was not so uncomfortable after taking the seasickness medicine brought by Yang Guang.
In contrast, Tian Yihu's adaptability is much stronger, and after the first day on the ship, he jumped around, walked on the ground on the bumpy sea boat, and even climbed to the mast to be a lookout twice, and it was completely impossible to see that he was a rookie who went to sea for the first time.
After all, Shi Bin is a scholar, and failing to gain fame does not affect his status in the minds of ordinary people, so he is more like a passenger when he is on the ship, compared to the 30 family Ding brought by Zhao Wu, there is no such treatment, after a little adaptation to the sea voyage, all of them were broken up by Zhao Wu and stuffed to Ye Zongman's subordinates, hoping that these people can become sailors as soon as possible.
What impressed Shi Bin the most about this sea voyage was not the boundless sea, but the luncheon meat brought by Yang Guang. He couldn't understand what kind of skilled craftsman it was to beat the iron so thin and seal the marinated fragrant meat in such an iron box.
As for the taste of luncheon meat, it may be tired of eating it in modern times, but for people who can't eat meat more than a few times a year in this era, it is definitely a delicacy, especially in this boring seafaring life, eating a big bowl of hot and fragrant luncheon meat stewed potatoes is really a pleasure.
The things in the book seemed to be incompatible with everything he had seen with his own eyes, which made Shi Bin feel very confused, and he had too many questions in his heart to ask Yang Guang for advice, but Yang Guang had been staying in the room since he got on the ship, and he could not find any opportunities.
It was easy to wait for the two lucky ships to arrive at the destination of Changdao Port, Yang Guang finally came out of the room, but before Shi Bin walked over, he saw that there were many people who had been waiting on the shore for a long time to tell Yang Guang something, he shook his head helplessly, anyway, it has been boring for many days, so let's wait for Yang Guang to deal with the matter in front of him and then find another opportunity.
"I came from Ming Kingdom this time and brought a lot of food, you can find someone to bring a batch to Zhihu." Yang Guang said to a middle-aged man in front of him with his hands behind his back, "How is her iron artillery team training?" Are there any difficulties that I need to support with? ”
"Great!" The middle-aged man, who was stationed in Naoto Ili in Naotoka, said with some excitement: "Although the iron artillery team of the head of the family is only women and children, but with the Ashigaru soldiers, they have eliminated several groups of bandits around and quelled the chaos in the territory. The biggest difficulty at the moment is that there is not enough food, and with the support of the Lord, we will be able to get through it. ”
After the middle-aged man left, Yang Guang looked at Shigehide Suzuki, who was supposed to train iron gunners for Oda Nobunaga in Kiyoshu Castle, but now he appeared in Nagashima Port, so he asked, "Nobunaga has started to attack Mino?" ”
Shigehide Suzuki admired Yang Guang's ingenuity very much, and he replied respectfully: "Yes." Eleven days earlier, Nobunaga had built a temporary castle in Mino's Sumama......"
After recounting the process in detail, Shigehide Suzuki couldn't help but complain: "Nobunaga is so anxious, his iron gunners have only learned to shoot, but they have not yet learned to fight!" ”
"A bunch of farmers and some gold." Yang Guang shook his head and retorted: "Chongxiu, if you think about it carefully, the price Nobunaga paid is nothing more than that, but the castle in Sumamata is like a nail...... Well, like a fish bone stuck in the throat, it makes Mino's daimyo lose ground. ”
Shigehide Suzuki recalled the terrain near Sumamata and found that it was exactly as Yang Guang said. In the past, if Nobunaga wanted to attack the Mino area, he had to transfer troops from Kiyosu Castle, and the other party had at least one day to buffer it, but now with this outpost, Nobunaga could launch an attack on half of the Mino area at any time, holding the initiative firmly in his hands.
Seeing the expression of surprise on Suzuki's face, Yang Guang instructed again: "You help me send a letter to Nobunaga, ask him to come to Long Island Harbor, and tell him that I have found a way to make up for the shortcomings of the iron artillery unit." ”
Shigehide Suzuki himself is a very powerful iron gunner, so he naturally knows the pros and cons of this firearm, but no matter how he racks his brains, he can't imagine what method Yang Guang will use to do this, so he has to wait for Oda Nobunaga and them to come over to solve this mystery.
After Yang Guang finished dealing with other matters, Ye Zongman walked over and said to him in a low voice: "In the past two months, many people have come over and want to buy Wufeng Gun from us. ”
"Sell, as long as you give a full price, you can sell it!" Yang Guang replied without thinking: "Brother Ye, you have also seen that I will bring at least 3,000 Wufeng guns this time, if you don't develop a few more customers, you can't be idle in the warehouse, right?" ”
"It's just a few others, but there's one person who should have been sent by Mino Daimyo Saito Yoshiryu." Ye Zongman said: "This is Oda Nobunaga's enemy, if we do business with him, we are afraid of ......"
"It's too simple." Yang Guang laughed and said to Ye Zongman, "Leave it to me to deal with." Let's hope that person isn't too stupid. ”
In the evening, Yang Guang feasted on this young man called Takenaka Hanbei in his residence, and of course used the luncheon meat stewed potatoes he brought from modern time and space, and the rich aroma made the young man of Takenaka Hanbei full of praise.
The two of them looked more like friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time, and the topic of conversation at the banquet always revolved around the products, scenery and history of the Ming Kingdom, and never involved anything related to Wufeng.
However, the clever Takenaka Hanbei heard Yang Guang's hint to him, and left the next day to return to the Mino area, and it seemed that he had to leave after an unsuccessful purchase.
A dozen days later, an envoy from the Daimyo of the region, Rokkaku Yoshiken, visited the port of Nagashima and hoped to purchase 300 Goho guns from Yangguang. The Rokkaku family and the Oda family are separated by several daimyo domains, and there is no conflict of interest at all at this stage, and Oda Nobunaga has no reason to prevent Yang Guang from selling the Goho Gun to them.
Yang Guang does business but does not deliver goods, after the envoy of the Hexagonal family paid enough gold, he transported this batch of Wufeng guns away, but on the way he was robbed by bandits and lost most of them, and that group of well-trained so-called "bandits" was led by a young man called Takenaka Hanbei.
