Lin Yueru said nothing and looked at Sakurai Tao with a smile.
She smiles mischievously, and she likes to tease Sakurai Momo and watch her get anxious.
This bitch always looks like a chaste and fierce woman, but her body exudes the attraction of this pair of men all the time. This made her very unhappy.
The master had an evaluation of her, and he asked Sakurai Momo what kind of woman he thought he was. The master glanced at her and said, "Pure and lustful."
"Five Dynasties Rivers, Mountains and Winds"
I didn't understand it at first, but now I see the real master, I suddenly understand that the way this bitch seduces people is to pretend to be weak, innocent, and cute.
Sakurai Tao looked at Lin Yueru, and suddenly felt like she was being teased. She was a little annoyed, but also a little hopeful. She knew that Yang Fan was still good to her, and almost taught her step by step how to set up the sect, how to train troops, and how to run the business.
How could Yang Fan let her suffer? She suddenly felt that she was too helpless. A little trial made Lin Yueru see the depth. I felt very regretful.
"How can I be willing to let my wife suffer? It's too late for me to feel sorry for you." Lin Yueru said teasingly.
"Sister, you are so bad, you always play tricks on others." Sakurai Momo said and gave Lin Yueru a white look.
Baimei was suddenly enlightened at this sight, and Lin Yueru's heart skipped a beat. I was surprised in my heart, this girl is so sexy, my heart trembled when I saw her.
"When I came this time, I brought ten large bronze cannons. They are not the so-called bosses from Japan." Lin Yueru said.
Sakurai Momo looked at Lin Yueru in shock and asked, "Is it the red cannon!"
Lin Yueru nodded and said: "Exactly, to be precise, it should be a twenty-four times caliber cannon."
Sakurai Momo was so shocked that she was almost dumbfounded.
At this time, there was not a single cannon in the entire Japan, not even the squatting cannon and the firing cannon that were commonly equipped in the Ming Dynasty. There were very few Franco machine guns from Portugal.
Cannons are called national collapse in Japan. This shows their admiration for the power of artillery.
What they were really equipped with in large quantities was matchlocks, which they called iron cannons.
Later, they innovated independently. Based on the matchlock gun, they thickened the caliber and shortened the barrel length to create a super-large-caliber heavy matchlock gun, which they called a large barrel.
The bassoon has become the ceiling of Japanese firearms. The last time they saw the discarded Folan cannon being cast in Yang Fan's workshop, they excitedly shouted "bassoon, super bassoon". They had never seen real artillery.
Later, it was Yang Fan who demonstrated artillery training to them, and they learned the difference between muskets and artillery.
Japanese iron cannons are 80~185cm long and weigh 1.5~5.0kg.
Essentially, this is a muzzleloading matchlock.
On August 25, 1543, a Chinese pirate ship carrying more than 100 people docked at Tanegashima in southern Kyushu.
There were three Portuguese on board, as well as Wang Zhi (later known as King Jinghai) who went by the pseudonym Wufeng.
The local Japanese lord spent a lot of money to buy it. Finally, he gave away his two daughters. This was the time for the matchlock technology.
The Japanese craftsman Hachiban Kinbei imitated its structure and produced the first Japanese-made matchlock gun, so the place was named Tanegashima Gun. This was the Warring States Period in Japan, when wars broke out frequently. This sharp weapon spread across the country at an extremely fast speed, affecting the course of history.
But initially, it did not receive much attention due to the issue of launch speed.
However, various Japanese factions soon discovered in actual combat that their damage power was stronger than the bows at that time.
The maximum range of bows and arrows used in actual combat is 400 meters, the killing distance is 80 meters, and the effective killing range is 40 meters. Even the bamboo bows used by most soldiers only have a shooting range of 30 meters.
In contrast, the matchlock gun has a killing range of 200 meters and an effective killing range of 50 meters. It's because of the bow and arrow. Will have an advantage in shooting.
It was also during this period that artillery entered Japan.
Around 1576, Otomo Zonglin, who was the head of the Otomo family at that time, was able to take the lead in purchasing French cannons from Portuguese missionaries due to his special relationship with being baptized and joining the Catholic Church and actively contacting Westerners.
He ordered his iron smelting craftsmen to study it carefully, and finally completed the imitation and localization, named it Guobeng and assigned it to his army.
His efforts were not in vain. Soon, these artillery played a very important role in the arduous defense of the city after the Battle of Fonsa broke out, and more than once contained the Shimadzu family, known as the strongest in Kyushu, like a tide. A surging offensive.
As a result, the French cannon became famous, and various famous companies began to imitate and purchase this type of artillery on a large scale. Because Japan lacks iron ore, the precious iron materials are either used to make samurai swords or iron cannons.
Lead ore is also basically very scarce, and it is unlikely that lead will be imported in large quantities to make projectiles. It is also impossible to make projectiles out of cast iron. Therefore, they had to use finely polished stone spheres to make cannonballs.
This kind of artillery that uses gunpowder to fire stone projectiles is also called "stone fire loss" by other forces.
However, the experience of using artillery in Japan was very bad.
In field battles in plain areas, the French cannon was too large and heavy, and was difficult to deploy when the Japanese were all thin, had poor physical strength, and lacked livestock.
The Japanese people were only 1.3--1.4 meters tall at this time. Even because he is too short, he cannot even use a shield. Therefore, we basically do not see shields appearing in Japanese war scenes in movies and TV shows.
Why did the Japanese develop such a weird thing as a big tube?
Naturally, it also comes from the actual needs of the battlefield.
The French cannons purchased and imitated by various Japanese companies are all naval guns dismantled from Portuguese armed merchant ships. Because it is not a field gun for the Army, it does not have a lightweight wheeled gun mount.
Japanese people are conservative, stubborn, and cherish their own faults. They lack innovation and are too conservative. They had never seen a field gun, and they had not created an artillery carriage themselves.
The Folan cannon is a breech-mounted cannon. The sealing technology at this time is very poor, which causes the gunpowder gas to leak at the mounting point of the gun. The utilization rate of the gunpowder gas is insufficient, resulting in a projectile that is too powerful and has a short range. Half of it does not exceed 300 rice.
After all, the Folan cannon is an artillery piece, and firing it once requires much more gunpowder than an iron cannon. This is also intolerable to the budget-conscious Japanese.
Because of these various shortcomings, it is difficult for the Fo Lang machine gun to exert its value except for siege and defense. In actual combat, even if it is only used to attack cities, the effect is very poor. The range is short, the cost of use is high, and the accuracy is poor. As a result, some large-caliber cannons purchased with huge sums of money have even become decorations.
Therefore, cannons were not easy to use, so they began to focus on matchlock guns. The matchlock gun was thickened and shortened so that it could be carried by a single soldier or transported in a cart or carried by mules and horses.
But no matter how improved this thing is, it is just a gun.
Sakurai Momo knows what's good. The last time she was with Yang Fan, she already figured out what artillery was. She knew that there was a world of difference between the Bastard, a weirdo who was laughed at by Yang Fan, and the red cannon.
Sakurai Momo was trembling with excitement. This was a national collapse that had never happened in Japan since ancient times.
Her face flushed, she grabbed Lin Yueru's hand excitedly, and asked tremblingly: "Sister, please don't coax me, are they the ten big bronze cannons I saw at Yang Jun's place last time? Yang Jun is willing to give up his love." give to me."
Lin Yueru said with a smile: "Yes, Madam, the country is beautiful and beautiful, and her beauty is famous far and wide. The master couldn't help but prostrate himself under the pomegranate skirt and gave it to Madam. The cannon is on a lucky ship. It will take two days to arrive."
"Ah! Yang Jun is so kind to me," Momo Sakurai suppressed her excitement, lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembled, and said with a blush.
Lin Yueru smiled secretly, seeing her excited and feeling comfortable being manipulated by the master.
"The ten artillery pieces this time are a reward for Madam. In addition, we also provide a full set of armor and weapons, food and baggage, etc. If Madam's soldiers fight effectively, can complete the mission, and meet the requirements of the Master, there will be additional Reward." Lin Yueru continued.
In fact, these ten artillery pieces were enough for Sakurai Momo to make up her mind. This is a magical weapon that even the Tokugawa generals don't have.
Unexpectedly, Yang Fan also provided armor, weapons, and food. If things are done to Yang Fan's satisfaction, there will be additional rewards.
"What other rewards does Mr. Yang have?" Sakurai Momo asked hurriedly with eyes filled with little stars.
This was Lin Yueru's first in-depth interaction with Japanese people, and she had a clear view of Japanese people's character.
He is petty and greedy. Very contradictory personality.
She remembered that before, in order to run an errand, she asked Yang Fan about the Japanese character. Yang Fan's words at that time were still in her ears.
Yang Fan was silent for a while and said slowly. "They are aggressive yet docile by nature; arrogant yet polite; stubborn yet cunning; docile yet unwilling to be manipulated; loyal yet rebellious; brave yet cowardly; conservative yet eager for the new; appearance. Humble and shy yet tyrannical and cruel.”
Lin Yueru was confused by Yang Fan's remarks. With so many contradictory words, what kind of people are they?
"To sum it up in one sentence, it is the indulgence of forbearance and the extreme of division! They obey the strong, fear power and are unethical."
Lin Yueru nodded and said, "I think I know how to deal with them."
