Chapter 297: A Blessing in Misfortune

The mountain cannon is not the twelve-pound cannon of the Aragonese. Each cannon shell is loaded with about 10% high explosives, and its landing point is much more accurate than the cannons of the same era. The regulations of Okayama Castle and Izumo Castle are similar, and Izumo Castle

The city did not last long in the hands of the Aragonese, and Okayama Castle was even more unbearable.

Tian Chunguang is also an old man who has followed Hua Houwei for a long time. He naturally likes to play with cannons. Ever since he got the mountain cannon, he couldn't wait to hug it while sleeping. He has become very familiar with the various performance indicators of the mountain cannon. The first shot was fired directly.

On top of the archery tower, half of it collapsed; the second shot hit the corner of the city wall, and the rammed earth was blown out with one shot! After one round of shelling, five shots were fired, the dust dispersed, and the northeast corner of Okayama Castle had collapsed!

The cities of this era have not been baptized by artillery fire. The defenses are all based on the previous siege methods, and there is not much resistance at all. Nizi struggled out of the mud bricks, stared blankly for a long time, and roared: "I want to

Sue them!"

Matsugen Nishimu pulled Nizi hard for a long time: "My lord, my lord, it's better to surrender. With such a cannon, all the men in Okayama City will be killed, and it won't cost many shells!"

Nizi howled up to the sky unwillingly, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fell softly to the ground. He had completely understood that it was not Daming who wanted to do anything to him, but the insidious and cunning liar Ouchi Yoshihiro, who was deliberately trying to harm him!

This kind of battle without any challenge really could not arouse Cui Laoer's desire to fight. He waved his hands in a lack of interest and did not even want to say anything. Fang Yiren held an iron trumpet and shouted loudly: "You have been here for a long time, you will show off your flesh immediately."

Bring the sheep and surrender to the city, otherwise no chickens or dogs will be left in Gangshan City!"

After struggling for a while, Songgen Xiximu, who finally rescued his master, couldn't help but said worriedly: "Sir, we can't wait any longer. For the sake of the lives of the whole city, we should give up something."

Ni Zijiu nodded feebly: "Okay, you go and open the storehouse. This is what these Chinese people like. I'll go and fulfill my duties!"

Qi Qiran was panic-stricken. Nizi kept smiling for a long time, naked to the waist, leading an old goat, walking like an old man. Nizi's soldiers all had their heads drooped, without any energy. Behind them were a bunch of people.

The long motorcade is filled with all the gold, silver and jewelry that the whole city has pieced together. The loser's life depends on his opponent, so how can he care about money?

Cui Laoer immediately became energetic. What is the purpose of this trip? Is it money? Although Hua Houwei didn't say it, the gold and silver were spent. None of King Wu's subordinates knew that the prince was worried about money and didn't even have a meal.

Xiang? As a loyal subordinate and an old subordinate who has been fighting beside the prince, how could Cui Laoer not be anxious?

Ni Zi prostrated in front of Cui Laoer for a long time, begging humbly: "The villain Ni Zi has not known the divine power of the superior country for a long time, and has offended the superior country. Please forgive me, general of the superior country, for the sake of our ignorance! Okayama is willing

If you offer gold and silver to make up for your sins, please accept it, the general! Xiximu! Please check it out, the general!"

Songgen Xiximu bowed his waist and introduced Cui Laoer one by one attentively: "General Shangguo, here is the storehouse of 1.5 million guan of silver. Here are the gold and silver jewelry donated by various families in the city, totaling 930,000 guan.

."

Cui Laoer was satisfied, and he opened his mouth and laughed loudly: "Okay! On behalf of Ming Dynasty, I forgive your offense in Gangshan!"

Ouchi Yoshihiro was a little worried and secretly winked at Fang Yiren. Ouchi Yoshihiro was a thoughtful person and had already bribed Fang Yiren with a lot of money. Such a seemingly inconspicuous person might say a few words at a critical moment.

The difference between life and death.

Fang Yiren understood and coughed slightly: "General Cui, they want to know how to deal with Nizi's family."

Cui Laoer pretended to turn around and asked Ouchi Yixing: "Lord Ouchi, what do you think?"

What could Ouchi Yoshihiro say? He could only say humbly: "What the Nizi family disobeyed was the order of the superior country. I have no objection."

Are you good at talking? Cui Laoer understands what Ouchi Yoshihiro means. He clearly means that this is the right of the country. I dare not interrupt. In fact, he points out that the Ouchi family disobeyed your orders and it is your business to lose face.

Cui Laoer nodded: "Okay, the prince has taught us long ago that if a person does not have faith, he will not stand, and if the country does not have faith, it will perish. Therefore, Gangshan has to punish you. But you have expressed enough sincerity, and you have to

Give a chance to repent.”

Nizi was always frightened by Cui Laoer's words for a long time, and then felt a little calm. Unknowingly, he developed a fear of being unable to defeat Ming Dynasty.

"Well, let's do this. The general office of the Ming Dynasty was short of manpower. Gangshan sent a thousand strong laborers and a thousand warriors to follow us back to the Ming Dynasty. Don't worry, these are not slaves. The strong laborers are hired workers, responsible for mining minerals, and they get a monthly salary.

, settled at the end of the year; samurai are mercenaries. In addition to the basic salary, if you go out once, the loot captured can be divided into 30%. Ni Zijiujiu, I personally think this seems to be an opportunity for you, Okayama? "

This was what Qi Youshan, Tu Polang, Wang Fuheng and other big guys had already discussed before setting off. It would be easy to eliminate the Nizi family, but the profit would be too little, and it would be easy for the Dauchi family to be too big. In this way, not only would the prince overfulfill his quota,

The assigned tasks can also create a strong enemy for the Ouchi family, so that Iwamiyama's silver can be continuously transported back to Nanjing, and only then can this so-called Chinese place be completely controlled.

Ouchi Yoshihiro's heart sank. I'm afraid his wishful thinking may not work. This time the Nizi family is a blessing in disguise. Once they get closer to the country, can the Chinese region be unified? Maybe by then they will even be able to unite themselves.

Insurance is a problem!

Nizi was overjoyed for a long time! He didn't expect that not only could Nizi's family be saved, but he could also have such a close connection with the upper country! What's a thousand strong laborers? Even if they all died in the Ming Dynasty, there would be a lot of rewards, anyway, everyone can

Death, as long as it can bring benefits to the Nizi family, there is no difference between farming and mining

! It would be even better if a thousand warriors were hired. Not only would they get money, but they could also learn advanced tactics from the Ming army. Maybe those terrible firearms could be purchased. After more than ten years of this, the Nizi family may not only be able to

China dominates the local area, and it may even reach Kanto! You must hold on to these thick legs!

Ouchi Yoshihoshi couldn't hold back his anger, and asked with a very sincere attitude: "General Cui, can you also let the Ouchi family participate? Izumo City has a lot of strong laborers, and there are many powerful samurai Ouchi families.

Tonight, Izumo City invites General Cui to cleanse himself. General Cui must agree!"
