Chapter 224: There is an old Chinese saying that those who know the times are Junjie!

On the Iwami city wall, all the Japanese people looked at this scene in front of them with a look of horror.

The power of the firecrackers scared them, but what made them even more desperate was that they didn't know what kind of weapon the Ming army was holding.

This is a completely new weapon, which they have never touched or equipped in Wajima.

But they knew that this weapon was more terrifying than all the weapons they had ever used?

Taking people's lives from a hundred paces away, even the most powerful crossbow arrows on Wajima are only this kind of killing distance.

However, the crossbow bolts were not at all controllable by one person, but a bed crossbow placed on the city wall, which could only be used for defense.

However, this weapon of Daming can be easily used by a soldier, which can be described as hugely powerful, but it is simple to carry and easy to operate.

Tian Shangjiro was even more frightened for a while, his pupils were extremely narrowed, and he kept muttering:

"What kind of weapon is this?"

Li Jin was very satisfied when he saw Tian Shangjiro's demeanor, and replied:

"This weapon is called a firebolt, and it has long-range lethality."

"If you need it, we can sell you a part, provided that you must be friends of our Daming."

Hearing this, Tian Shangjiro was shocked, then turned around and asked incredulously:

"Can you really sell it to us?"

"Of course, it's just that we Daming only sell weapons to our friends, are you our friends?"

Li Jin asked with a smile, like a smiling Buddha, which made people look very kind.

But in the eyes of Tian Shangjiro, it made him a little creepy, and this Li Jin was clearly a smiling tiger.

But even so, Tian Shangjiro did not dare to have any objections, they must get this kind of weapon.

Otherwise, if this kind of fire fell into the hands of the Ashikaga family of the Northern Dynasty, then for them, it would be a catastrophe.

"Of course we are friends of Daming, and we are willing to be friends of Daming forever."

Tian Shangjiro hurriedly replied:

"I wonder how much your country can sell us this kind of weapon?"

"There's no rush for now."

Li Jin waved his hand and said:

"Since they are friends, the previous treaty of friendship and mutual assistance should be signed immediately."

"What do you think?"

"This..."

The so-called treaty of friendship and mutual assistance is nothing more than the Treaty of Shimonoseki.

But when it came to the Treaty of Shimonoseki, Tanakami Jiro was like a rooster pinched by the neck, and he couldn't speak anymore.

Li Jin sneered in his heart, it seemed that this person really didn't cry when he saw the coffin, and then said:

"This matter is not urgent, Tian Shangjun and continue to look down."

Seeing this, Tanakami Jiro had to look at the navy below.

I saw that the Ming Navy had finished shooting at this moment, and then quickly gathered and slowly withdrew.

But after these Ming navies left, the subsequent carriages were pulling dark black things and rushed here.

Soon, these carriages came under the city walls, and it was only then that Tagami Jiro saw that there were huge things pulled behind the carriages, which were a bit like artillery.

But this kind of artillery, Tian Shangjiro has never seen before.

Most of the artillery we have seen in the past is placed on the city wall, and it is impossible to move at all, let alone be pulled by horse-drawn carriages.

However, the cannon in front of him was not only slender and long, and it didn't look as huge as the cannon on the city wall, but it also had wheels, so it was no wonder that it could be pulled forward by a carriage.

It looks ordinary, only a black metallic luster, which makes people feel a little uneasy.

Tian Shangjiro is a little uninterested in this, the artillery is just that, they will have more than a dozen of this kind of artillery in Yamato Castle, nothing unusual.

I don't understand why Li Jin wants to let himself watch.

Li Jin smiled and didn't say anything, just motioned for him to continue looking.

I saw below, Lan Yu personally took Sun Cannon, lined up under the city, and the ten cannons were slowly arranged into an artillery position.

Everyone found that three miles away from the Ming Dynasty, there was actually a person holding a red flag, and then slowly planted the red flag on the ground.

Three miles?

The people of Wajima on the city wall visually measured the distance, and it was impossible to reach this kind of distance attack.

Tian Shangjiro was even more sneering, thinking that the Ming Navy was grandstanding, and you must know that the distance of three miles, even on the high city wall, it is difficult for artillery to hit.

Not to mention that the Ming artillery is still above the flat ground.

Just when the widows on the city wall were about to see Da Ming's jokes, Lan Yu was unexpected, asking people to move the bodies of hundreds of death row prisoners who had been killed to three miles away.

In a quarter of an hour, when all of this was done, Sapphire began to give the order to open fire.

"Boom!"

The first shot exploded one mile in front of the red flag, and it seemed as if it could only shoot two miles.

But this is amazing enough, after all, in the cognition of the people of Wajima, this is already the longest-range weapon, even if it is a bed crossbow, trebuchets can't do it.

Tian Shangjiro also clapped his hands and praised:

"Your country's weapons are indeed powerful, and your subordinates admire them."

Tian Shangjiro said admiration in his mouth, but his expression did not change much, and it was obvious that the shock of the artillery on him was far less than the shock of the firecracker.

"Don't be so anxious, keep looking."

Li Jin still asked Tian Shangjiro to look down.

Tian Shangjiro was puzzled and wanted to speak, when he heard a deafening roar again.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom!"

Ten cannons were fired in turn, and a loud sound erupted.

But that wasn't the end of it, after a short flight of the shells, ten shells began to explode exactly within the red flag range.

The resulting explosion tore all the corpses near the red flag to pieces.

"Boom, boom!!"

The earth-shattering explosion resounded in the sky, and in the frightened eyes of the Japanese people, small mushroom clouds rose.

The air wave generated by the explosion, even on the city wall three miles away, can have a slight impact.

One can imagine how strong this shock wave must have been at the center of the explosion.

The smoke and dust from the explosion were noisy, and when the smoke cleared, the scene at the center of the explosion shocked everyone.

I saw that the corpses of the condemned prisoners who were originally lying on their backs turned into pools of flesh and blood at this moment, and they looked bloody and terrifying, making people dare not look at them directly.

The people of Wadao looked at the Ming Navy below, and their expressions completely turned into fear.

As Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once said, barbarians are all beasts, fearing power but not virtue.

When the Ming Dynasty showed great force, these Japanese people could only kneel down and submit, and no longer dared to have any resistance.

At least in Iwami Castle, now the Ming Dynasty will be a man of his word, and no one will dare to resist.

"How?"

Li Jin turned his head with a smile and asked Tian Shangjiro again:

"This time, is Tanagami-kun satisfied?"

Tian Shangjiro's mouth was wide open at the moment, his eyes were protruding, and bloodshot was crawling all over his eyeballs, and he was extremely surprised.

"It's... This can... Is it sold? ”

"Hahaha."

Li Jin laughed heartily and said:

"Naturally, you can, but you need to reach an all-weather strategic cooperation with my Daming before you can sell it."

"Now I can only sell it to you."

"Are you willing to be Da Ming's friends now?"

"Yes, yes! We absolutely do. ”

Tian Shangjiro nodded like pounding garlic at this moment, and replied busily:

"If you ask to return to Yamato, you must persuade me to go to the emperor and agree to your country's request for peace."

"In order to become a friend of the Ming Dynasty, I will do my best."

"Well, there is an old Chinese saying that knowing the times is the best of the best."

Li Jin was very satisfied with Tian Shangjiro's attitude and said:

"Tian Shangjun is a generation of heroes, I believe that Tian Shangjun will never disappoint Daming."

"Don't worry, sir!"

Tanamijiro nodded and bent down and made a standard subordinate salute.

At this moment, a violent sound of horses' hooves sounded again, and a cavalry of several thousand people actually galloped towards Iwami from far and near.
