Zong Yicheng was dumbfounded. He saw a strange army, riding a tall horse that he had never seen before, holding a firecracker that kept firing. It swept through the short Japanese sailors and rushed into his mansion.
Then, the door was closed.
He didn't care about fighting with the pirates at the city gate, and quickly ran back with his people. His wife, concubines, and children were all in the mansion, and the wealth accumulated by the Zong family for thousands of years was also in the mansion.
This drove him crazy with anxiety. Tsushima Island is a poor place. It's not that big. It's just mountainous land. You can't grow many crops. There are several typhoons a year. Fortunately, it's located on the strait, so there are relatively few earthquakes.
The family fortune was built by relying on geographical advantages and trade with North Korea. So for Tsushima, the real foundation is not land. Because there is not much land here and there are no minerals. It just relies on business.
What you rely on to do business is capital.
Without capital, you can't do any business.
Therefore, there is no room for failure in the mansion.
He did not expect that these pirates actually hid such an elite group of cavalry. There were thousands of them. This was not a small scale.
There is a shortage of horses in Japan, and all the local wild horses have been captured before the Warring States Period. The horses that can be seen now are all horses raised by daimyo from various places.
Japan’s native horses are very bad. Japan’s native horses were extremely poor before the Meiji period. It was only after the Restoration that improved horse breeds were introduced and the so-called Oriental horses came into being.
There are 8 types of horses native to Japan: Togarama, Misaki horse, Kiso horse, Noma horse, Hokkaido stallion, Taishu horse, Yonaguni horse, and Miyako horse.
These horses were only 120-130cm tall, not much different from donkeys. Hundreds of cavalrymen riding donkeys were knocked away when they encountered the servants' Indian and Arabian horses.
The rest were condescended to and killed in an instant. Their armor was also very poor, especially the shoulder armor.
Because there is no threat from nomads in Japan. Unlike China and the Roman Empire, infantry often encounter cavalry and encounter condescending killings. The shoulder armors are constantly improved and strengthened.
Therefore, their armor and shoulder armor are very unreliable. The Kangxi sword commonly equipped by servants, this deformed simple sword, was cut into two pieces.
After Yang Fan transferred abandoned tank gun barrels from modern times, he used electroslag remelted steel to create cold weapons, which became popular. These cold weapons made of scrap steel have reached the peak performance of this era.
Now Yang Fan's servants have been equipped with this simple cavalry sword in advance, and it is no problem to cut through Jian Nu's triple armor.
This unexpected force suddenly rushed into the city and occupied the mansion, catching everyone by surprise.
If the government received news that he was defeated and died in battle, his wife would gather his concubines and children in the castle tower, pile all the gold and silver in them, and then set themselves on fire. This was a popular saying during the Warring States Period in Japan.
The following operation process.
Japan is surrounded by the sea, and the widest part of Honshu Island is no more than 120 kilometers. Once the navy is destroyed, there is no place to escape. So in ancient Japan, if the battle was defeated, it had to be cut off.
But this cavalryman was so powerful that even the horses were covered with horse armor. After killing all the three hundred cavalrymen in his hand, the short Japanese Ashigaru had never seen a cavalryman in uniform.
They were 1.34 meters tall, which was not as high as the back of a horse. Yang Fan's horse was 160cm tall. Many people were knocked away and trampled to death.
"Follow me and rush back and take back the mansion." Zong Yicheng said angrily.
He had a privately prepared ship on the east side of the island, leaving a way out for himself. When he couldn't hold on, he ran back to Honshu Island and asked the shogun for help.
Donkey Dan occupied the mansion, so he naturally knew the purpose of the raid by the master.
"Where's the clerk? Tell the clerk to come over quickly." Donkey Dan roared angrily.
The female relatives were kneeling on the ground, crying and sobbing, which made him very irritable.
"Captain, the paperwork is here." A battalion commander hurried over and said.
"You kid, hurry up and collect all those Song Huizong's eagles and Lao Shizi's paintings from me. Also collect all the valuable porcelain, which I personally asked for."
Donkey Dan is illiterate, so he knows what Song Huizong's eagle is, but isn't there a document? This guy is a scholar, so he must know it.
Clerk Sun Youli cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, captain, I'm good at calligraphy and painting. Give me a company of soldiers and follow me to search."
"Don't dare to damage it. Madam inspected it for acceptance. Paper is precious and fragile. You guys need to know the importance. Madam is not easy to mess with. If you make her angry, everyone will be left with nothing to eat." Donkey Dan warned carefully.
road.
Xiao Niangpi has a bad temper. Before marrying Yang Fan, she punished the Yang family's slaves. They were all afraid of Xiao Niangpi.
Sun Youli shrank his neck when he heard this. The master in the Yang family was easy to talk to, but his wife must not be disobedient.
Sun Youli led the people away. Donkey Dan looked at a group of shivering women kneeling on the ground. They were all from the feudal lord's backyard.
These women have their teeth blackened, and the white powder on their faces is thick and dripping with residue. Their eyebrows are pointed into two oval points, and they look like a four-eyed dog.
Just like Chaisang. Well, the four-eyed Shiba Inu is quite cute. Much better than these women.
These women looked like ghosts, which made Donkey Dan very unhappy.
"Captain, this woman is the feudal lord's wife." Squadron leader Xu Heng said.
Donkey Dan glanced sideways for a while and said, "Let me ask you, as the wife of the head of the family, where is the family's money hidden? You must know that if you tell me earlier, you will avoid the pain of skin and flesh."
Mrs. Renchu (the daimyo's wife's honorific titles include, "Kenchu", "Gokenchu さま", "Shi", "Okukata", "Okukata さま", "Urikata", "おyashiki さま", "Goshinzo さま". This is not her real name.
) She raised her head and glanced at Donkey Dan, who had a surly face. The man's fierce eyes were staring at her. She was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head again.
"I'm just a person who manages my family's business. Everything I know is in this mansion. Only the feudal lord knows about other things." She spoke fluent Ming Dynasty Mandarin without the need for translation.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Donkey Dan saw that this woman was a dead pig and was not afraid of being scalded by boiling water. Anyway, this mansion was also occupied, so things cannot be saved. This is all I know
, you can take whatever you want.
"People who are pampered are most afraid of being punished. People who come from poor backgrounds are most afraid of honey traps." Donkey Dan sneered and said, "Madam, why bother everyone."
After all, I have also been in Jinyiwei, and I have received guidance from the two ladies. It is not easy to deal with this Japanese girl.
The donkey's egg stepped on her finger, and Mrs. Lianzhong, who was prostrate, let out a shrill scream.
A quarter of an hour later, Donkey Dan walked out of the courtyard expressionlessly. He came to a place behind the castle tower and successfully found the entrance to the underground bank.
"Captain, the door is made of cast iron and cannot be opened." A small flag ran over to report.
"Blow it up with explosives." Donkey Dan waved his hand. He still wanted to bother him with such a trivial matter. Isn't it just a matter of explosives?
After the engineers went up, there was a loud noise and a column of smoke rose high into the sky.
The iron gate was blown to pieces, and when the smoke cleared, Donkey Dan and his men turned on carbide lamps and went in to take a look. They found that it was a huge stone underground palace.
Inside, there are pieces of silver plates, stacked up in a criss-cross pattern like wooden boards. The silver has turned black over time. I don’t know how much silver there are in the stacks. The corner of the wall in the distance is shining with gold, and under the illumination of the carbide lamp,
Dazzling flowers.
Donkey Dan walked over and saw that they were all piles of gold. They were arranged staggered so that there were gaps for easy transportation. He had never seen so much gold in his life.
The donkey egg was once rewarded by Mrs. Peach. He received a small gold bar from Keicho. He had seen this thing before and knew that it was a gold bar from Japan. Tokugawa Ieyasu, a small gold bar in the Edo period, first made the first time in the 6th year of Keicho (1601).
Tokugawa Ieyasu, who minted gold coins and won a great victory in the Battle of Sekigahara (1600), successively opened Kinza Ginza to mint coins.
The current Ginza Street in Tokyo is the workshop where the gold medal was originally cast.
Donkey Dan had never seen so much gold before. He was a little dumbfounded and almost had the urge to put a few in his pocket. However, he didn't dare to beat him to death. The lady was not easy to fool.
He could only save his saliva and said: "Register and make a register immediately. When the city is pacified, hand it over to Madam."
