Volume Four, Chapter 167, Infighting

The Ming Dynasty's iron cannon finally arrived, and since then, the cannons began to rumbling. Ryuzoji Takanobu was like crazy, and he asked his subordinates to constantly use real gunpowder and shells to practice cannon control, and he also shot out the shells every time.

Although the gunpowder was given by Mao Lie, it was not expensive, but the shell was very expensive, one was only ten taels of silver. He did this like he was throwing out silver, and he had to throw out several thousand taels a day.

Could it be that he is really crazy?

Of course he was not crazy. He was telling Otomo Sorin: "I have a cannon too, don't come here, kid!"

He was forced to have no choice but to come up with this bad idea.

It is indeed quite expensive to bombard the open space crazy now. If Otomo Sorin leads his army to attack Nagasaki, it will not be a matter of money.

Otomo Sorin had two hundred iron cannons in his hand, and he knew very well that, and now he had less than 20,000 troops under his command, and after Otomo Sorin incorporated the surrendered soldiers from Saga Castle, his troops had reached nearly 40,000.

In other words, Otomo's army is twice as strong as them. Not only is the iron cannon twice theirs, but its military strength is also twice theirs. If Otomo Sorin leads his army to attack, he will not have the confidence to defend Nagasaki Castle. He can only keep calling his subordinates to fire their cannons, in order to scare Otomo Sorin.

When Otomo Sorin received the news, he was so scared that he stopped.

Ryuzoji also has iron cannons, what should I do?

Soon, he realized that didn't Wang Zhi say that they had only 200 iron cannons in stock. How could so many iron cannons suddenly appear in Nagasaki?

It is obvious that Wang Zhi is lying to others, and they have more than two hundred iron cannons in their hands!

Baga, you, a profiteer, are you playing tricks on me?

He subconsciously believed that Wang Zhi was raising prices on the ground and deliberately hyped up the price of iron cannons to make more money.

However, even if Wang Zhi wants to raise the price, will he dare to offend others?

He didn't dare to offend Wang Zhi, so he could only order people to find Wang Zhi, expressing his willingness to buy iron cannons at a higher price. If two thousand taels are not enough, only three thousand taels will be needed. He would want as much as he has.

His idea was very simple, that was, to cast out all the cannons in Wang Zhi's hand, so that he could dominate Jiuzhou and even unify Japan.

As for Ryuzaoji, judging from the investigation, they will definitely not have more than 200 iron cannons in their hands. As long as he has 500 or even 1,000 iron cannons in his hands, are you still afraid of the little iron cannons in Ryuzaoji?

Unexpectedly, it was only two days after he sent his confidant to Hirado Castle to send a message, and Wang Zhi followed the people to the camp of Otoyo.

You guy, still have the face to see me?

Otomo Sorin was extremely angry, but on the surface, he still politely welcomed Wang Zhi into the coach's tent and ordered someone to take the best Xiangming. Then he said carefully: "Ship owner, can you tell me how much does an iron cannon cost? I have said it all, the price is easy to discuss, why should you sell the iron cannon to Ryuzaoji?"

Sure enough, it was right for Master Taishi to prepare for the future. If only his family had iron cannons in their hands and sold them everywhere, even the princes from all over Japan would react no matter how stupid they were.

It is time to create the illusion of internal strife in the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Zhi pretended to be embarrassed and shook his head, and then explained: "Master Ming, you misunderstood. The Ryuzaoji family's iron cannon was not bought from me.

ah!

Is there such a thing?

Otomo Sorin said in surprise: "Their iron cannons were not bought from you, where did they buy them?"

Wang Zhi pretended to be a little annoyed and embarrassed and said, "It's not the good thing that my rebellious son Maolie did. He didn't know when he secretly surrendered to our Ming Cabinet Chief Secretary Zhang. This time, he directly pulled people to rebel from my fleet. You also know that our Taishi has always been in conflict with the Chief Secretary Yan Song, and the premier Yan Song was defeated by our Taishi. This Chief Secretary Zhang Bangqi and Zhang were not in the way of dealing with us. They had to do anything with us. When they heard that we were secretly supporting you, they thought of ways to secretly support your enemy. The iron cannon in the hand of the Longzaoji clan was used by them. Alas, they clearly wanted to compete with us for the Japanese market, and we had no choice."

this!

The chief minister of the Ming Dynasty cabinet and the Grand Tutor Yang Cong were in conflict. The princes from all walks of life have long heard of this. Because Yan Song and the Songpu clan colluded at that time and used Japanese pirates to harm the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty.

Everything was good in the Ming Dynasty, but the internal strife was too serious. In order to fight for power and profit, these guys actually invited outsiders to harm their own people. The princes from all over Japan were ashamed of this.

However, Ototo Solin didn't expect that Yan Song, the chief assistant of the cabinet, was defeated by the Grand Tutor Yang Cong. This Chief Advisor of the cabinet, actually dared to fight against the Grand Tutor Yang Cong.

He really knew nothing about this. After all, he was a prince of Japan, not a prince of the Ming Dynasty.

So, what should I do?

He said with a little anxiety: "What should I do? If Ryuzoji gets enough iron cannons, we will be in danger."

Wang Zhi quickly comforted: "Master, please rest assured, our Ming Dynasty does not have any iron cannons in stock. This time, our Prime Minister sold the 100 iron cannons just made by the Ministry of Works to Ryuzaoji. They wanted to buy more, but there was no more, at least, there was no more in the near future."

Ryuzoji only has one hundred iron cannons in his hand?

When Ototo Sorin heard this, his expression moved. Two hundred sects and one hundred sects seemed to have hope, because he already had nearly 40,000 troops under his command, and it would be nice to have the Ryuzoji clan be able to organize 20,000 troops at this time. Moreover, he still has two invincible generals under his command, but Ryuzoji clan does not have it.

Thinking of this, he asked solemnly: "Are you sure Ryuzoji has only one hundred iron cannons in his hand?"

Wang Zhi nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course, the iron cannon warehouse of the Ministry of Works is empty now. There are only one hundred iron cannons produced recently. Can they still produce iron cannons out of thin air?"

Otomo Sorin then asked again: "Do you feel that with the two hundred iron cannons in my hand, I can suppress the one hundred iron cannons in their hand?"

I feel like you are thinking about nonsense!

They are guarding the city. The iron cannon stands a little further than you, but also has much higher safety than you. After all, they have the city walls as cover, and you are exposed to the wild and used as targets for others.

However, Wang Zhi would not be kind to remind Otomo Sorin.

It’s all my business. The more fierce you fight, the better!

He sneered in his heart, but said vaguely on the surface: "This is really hard to say. However, logically speaking, it should be fine, because they just got the iron cannon and are not very skilled in the control. You have fought two battles with the iron cannon, and the control of the iron cannon has been perfect. By comparing the two, I think you should have an absolute advantage."
