"What has happened during this time?" Yang Guang sat in the room and said to Shigehide Suzuki, who was kneeling in front of him. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Yang Guang left Japan, Suzuki Shigehide did not accompany him, he was ordered to collect intelligence in Japan, this thing can not be done alone, so Yang Guang authorized him, allowed Suzuki Shigehide to expand the manpower, and gave him sufficient funds.

Shigehide Suzuki began to answer respectfully, and after Oda Nobunaga and Takeda Shingen formed an alliance, Oda Nobunaga launched an attack to the west, and the first attack was the Kitabatake family, which was southwest of his territory and had lost the protection of the navy.

The territory of the Kitabatake family is close to the sea and is very narrow, without the protection of the navy, it is like a turtle without a shell, it looks like it should be easy to bully, but what no one expected is that the Kitabatake family actually appeared a large number of iron gunners using the five peaks, these people are stationed in batches in the border fortress, and there is a very sufficient amount of food, so that the army of the Oda family runs into a wall everywhere.

Both the offensive and defensive sides used the five-peak guns sold by Yang Guang, and the range was basically the same, and the power was about the same, and the soldiers on the defending side would definitely take advantage of it, there was no doubt about it.

Now Oda Nobunaga is difficult to ride a tiger, after all, he only announced the "world military force" not long ago, and as a result, he was defeated and retreated from the first expedition, and he had no way to explain himself internally and externally, so he could only mobilize more troops to join the war.

In order to suppress the iron gunners of the Kitabatake family, Oda Nobunaga took out the reserve money to buy a large number of Goho guns, and if he could, he even hoped to be able to buy artillery, which was the kind that Yang Guang bombarded Toba Port.

When Yang Guang heard this, his first reaction was that the Kitabatake family had formed an alliance with the Rokkaku family, otherwise it would not be possible to explain how the Kitabatake family could suddenly have so many Goho guns, except for Oda and Takeda, Japan bought the most Goho guns The Rokkaku, and the purchase volume of the Kitabatake family was pitiful, and later after the Taishan bombarded Toba Port, Yang Guang no longer sold anything to the Kitabatake family.

With the strength of the Kitabatake family, even if they smashed the pot and sold iron and bought so many firearms at a high price, it would be impossible to match the elite soldiers raised by the Oda family in repeated battles, so those iron gunners were likely to be the elite of the Rokkaku family or even other daimyo secretly supporting.

The Kanto region is now a big hot pot with a lot of cooking in it, and the three diners of Takeda, Uesugi and Hojo are stirring around with chopsticks in the hope of getting more benefits and putting them in their bowls.

Since there are still a lot of dishes in the pot, everyone refrains from each other, and there is no situation where two pairs of chopsticks are caught on the same piece of meat, and the situation is much quieter than on Oda Nobunaga's side. It's just that everyone knows in their hearts that day will inevitably come sooner or later, and they all want to make more meat and vegetables in their bowls before that, so that they can hold out until the end in the cruel war.

In addition to these two areas of focus, Shigehide Suzuki also said a few things about the Miyoshi family and the Kaiko area, after all, his family's residence is in the Saga area near the Kaiminato.

The door was pushed open, and a sailor appeared in Yang Guang's field of vision, and he said, "Mr. Zhao, the merchants are all here!" ”

Yang Guang continued to listen to Suzuki Shigehide finish all the news noncommittally, and then he opened his mouth to encourage him and said: "Yes, Chongxiu has worked hard during this time. I've brought a lot of gold coins with me, so I'll give you ten as a reward! ”

Suzuki Shigehide was overjoyed and immediately bowed to the ground to show his gratitude, Yang Guang nodded at him, stood up and said to the sailors waiting at the door, "Let's go, go meet these merchants." ”

Coming to the dock affairs hall, there were already dozens of businessmen from all over Japan, although Yang Guang had delayed a lot of time, but everyone was still waiting honestly, because they didn't dare to offend Yang Guang, otherwise they wouldn't be able to buy Wufeng guns from here. Although the Hexagonal Family has taken on the role of a third-party transaction, no merchant is stupid enough to pay a higher price for the goods of the second-tier dealers.

Sitting down on a chair in the center, Yang Guang spoke: "This time I brought 10,000 Wufeng guns. But there's one thing I have to say. My goods have always been very good, and there are no defective products, but the purity of the gold you brought is uneven, and I have suffered a lot after taking it back and re-smelting. So I came up with a solution. ”

Don't look at this is just a very simple sentence, but it may mean that there has been a big change in the trading method of Wufeng Gong, so there is silence in the affairs hall, and dozens of businessmen have their eyes on Yang Guang, lest they miss a word and hear a wrong word.

"Smack!" Yang Guang slapped his hands casually, and several sailors walked in from outside with wooden plates covered with red silk, on which were placed the newly made "Tongtian Lingbao" gold coins.

Yang Guang picked up a gold coin and said to the merchants in front of him, "I will directly make gold into gold coins." What I bring in the future, only these coins will be accepted. ”

The affairs hall suddenly became noisy because of Yang Guang's words, and every businessman had more or less doubts in his heart. What Yang Guang wants to do today is to notify, not discuss and discuss, he slapped the gold coin on the table with his backhand, making a crisp sound, and then the entire affairs hall quickly returned to quiet, seeing Liu Jin, who was sitting on the side, smacked his tongue, he didn't expect Yang Guang to be so prestigious in Japan.

Yang Guang nodded at the sailor holding the wooden plate, who immediately handed out the gold coins on the wooden plate, one in the hands of every merchant present. When these merchants looked down at the gold coins in their hands, Yang Guang continued: "Such a gold coin is fixed for one tael of gold, everyone can rest assured that I will not take advantage of you." You can exchange your gold with me for gold, and you can exchange it for gold from me. ”

The gold content of this batch of gold coins is quite high, and the mixing of other metals is mainly to solve the problem of hardness. At this time, Japan's smelting technology was not good, and the purity of gold could only reach 80% or even lower, which was not much worse than the gold coins made by Yang Guang, and the resistance in the hearts of Japanese merchants was not great.

Of course, the most critical point is that Yang Guang allowed gold coins to buy back gold, which completely dispelled the doubts in the hearts of the merchants, anyway, Wufeng Gong is an exclusive business, and the gold is exchanged for gold coins and flows back to Yang Guang's hands, which should be regarded as satisfying a boring and evil taste of this Ming businessman.

Only a handful of people realized Yang Guang's intentions, but of course they wouldn't say it, any change would be a huge business opportunity for those who were prepared, and as long as they found the right entry point, they might be able to make a lot of money. As for the use of gold coins minted by foreign merchants, anyway, Japan is now using Ming copper coins, so what does it matter if there are more gold coins in circulation? (To be continued.) )
