"We have no choice. This thing is too important to us. Even if we spend all our money, we have to get it."
These are the original words that the old man of the Dai family told Dai Deqing.
Dai Deqing knew that once Su Mingquan's sister was handed over, Su Mingquan would be completely disconnected.
He was unwilling to let such a beautiful woman go. More importantly, he also counted on Su Mingquan to bridge the gap between him and Xu Miaojin.
But he didn't dare not listen to his father's words. He also knew the importance of new firearms, especially after Xu Qin wiped out three thousand pirates without any effort.
Not only was the entire Ming Dynasty shocked by the importance of firearms, but the Shenji Camp was expanded four to five times its original size.
The Dai family also realized that the new type of firecracker was more important than originally thought.
If the Dai family had an army of three thousand fire guns, they would be able to gain a firm foothold in the Japanese country and even be invincible.
The current knowledge of Japanese people about fire guns is limited to hearing about them. I don't pay attention to it at all, and I haven't seen it at all. There is no way to fight back in a head-on battle.
It should be easy for an army of 3,000 muskets to defeat 10,000 people. This is the understanding of family members. If there were five thousand fire gun troops, they would have the confidence to dominate the Japanese country and change the situation of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
If there are 10,000 gunfire troops in time, unifying the Japanese country will not be a problem.
If Xu Qin gives them another territory, it will be twice the result with half the effort. This pie has been their dream for several lifetimes.
Even if you suspect it's poisonous, you still have to take a bite. What if it's true?
Dai Deqing brought Su Mingquan's sister to see Su Mingquan.
"Your sister is in the carriage, where is the stuff?" Dai Deqing asked.
Su Mingquan ignored him. As long as her sister returned to her side, she was unwilling to say another word to the Dai family.
Open the carriage curtain.
"Qingquan..." Su Mingquan's eyes turned red. There was a woman who looked exactly like her sitting in the carriage.
She and her sister are actually twins.
"Sister, are you okay?" Su Qingquan looked exactly like Su Mingquan. But the personality is completely opposite.
Quiet, shy, even afraid to speak loudly. Like a wounded deer in need of protection.
Gentle followed her sister out of the car. She was startled when she saw Dai Deqing and hurriedly hid behind her sister.
"You don't need to be afraid of him anymore. Don't be afraid anymore." Su Mingquan said and pulled out a bamboo tube from his sleeve.
"You won't lie to me." Dai Deqing quickly hid the bamboo tube and said.
"No need, go back to Japan. I wish your Hojo family a long military career." Su Mingquan said lazily, boldly pulling his sister Su Qingquan onto the carriage.
Dai Deqing took the things and immediately returned to Dai's house, where several old craftsmen were already waiting.
After taking a look at the drawings and forging methods, the expert will know what is going on as soon as he takes action.
"Good stuff..." one of the craftsmen nodded.
There are not only clear pictures on this drawing, but also the manufacturing method of the assembly line. Level 1 related dimensional regulations.
"It has to be drilled out. This thing is very difficult to make." Another old craftsman said.
The old man of the Dai family finally felt relieved after hearing this. If it was simple or crudely made, he wouldn't believe it.
"What's so good about this thing?" Dai Deqing asked.
"Master, with all due respect, this thing is a gun tube. There is no gap when it is drilled out, and it is not easy to burst when destroyed by gunpowder explosion. It has an impact on the range and durability of the fire gun. Whoever came up with this method is really a genius. "
The old craftsman said with admiration.
"Start imitating." The old man of the Dai family said.
He felt that there was a dawn in his life, and maybe he could return to Japan in this life.
"Father, where is Xu Qin?" Dai Deqing asked.
"Of course. Although Tsushima is barren and large, it is our starting point after all. As long as he really gives us Tsushima, he will give us everything we want."
The old man from the Dai family said excitedly. The Dai family has been salt merchants for several generations, and they also had Japanese connections at sea, and accumulated martial arts wealth.
The money can't buy him back to Japan, but he can use it to buy Xu Qin to help them.
After Xu Qin was ready, he went to the Shenji Camp to connect. Prepare to take people down the river to Haifansi.
"Young Master, are you okay?" Zhang Fu was waiting for him at the Shenji Camp.
"Mr. British, are you sending off your sons and daughters? Why don't you come in person?" Xu Qin asked with a smile.
"Ah, it's not a farewell, I'll go with them. Or I'll take them with you." The British Duke said with a smile.
"Don't make trouble, there are two thousand people, why do you still need to follow me?" Xu Qin thought it was a joke.
"No, it's not two thousand people, it's the entire Shenji Battalion, thirteen thousand people. Isn't that the imperial edict you requested from His Majesty?" the British Duke said with a smile.
Xu Qin sat down on the ground, the scene in Wuying Palace that day was vivid in his mind. No wonder Xia Yuanji jumped out, digging a hole for himself.
"I want two thousand people, two thousand... What do you mean by giving me so many troubles? Thirteen thousand people..."
Xu Qin felt a little out of breath.
"Young Master, I don't understand this. Wouldn't it be better to have 13,000 people than 2,000 people?" the British Duke asked doubtfully.
"Zhang Guogong, what do you know? The military pay and logistics for these people's departure must be paid by the Haifan Department. You said there is no difference between two thousand people and thirteen thousand people. This is purely asking me to pay for you to go out for an armed parade. .”
Xu Qin jumped up from the ground and wanted to settle the score with the shameless Zhu Di.
No wonder he said the Shenji Camp would accompany you that day. It turned out to be the entire Shenji Camp. This is spending your own money to train his soldiers. Thirteen thousand people will die if they eat horse chews.
"Master Xu, Master Xia Yuanji asked me to bring you a message. This time, the user can pay the fee first. You can bring the troops back and pay them back slowly..."
A doctor from Hubu jumped out and said to Xu Qin.
"It's your uncle's fault, I'll kill you..." Xu Qin anxiously took out the horse whip from his waist and was about to hit the doctor from the household department.
Knowing this, the doctor had already stood far away. Seeing that Xu Qin was angry, he ran away quickly.
"Fire gun, give me the fire gun and I will kill him..." Xu Qin shouted.
But no one dared to give him a fire gun. Xu Qin became the best marksman in the Ming Dynasty, specifically referring to Gan Ning's fire gun. If he were given a bludgeon, the doctor would definitely die.
Xu Qin made a fuss and gave up his plan to settle the score with Zhu Di. The old guy had made it clear that he was plotting against him, so naturally he would not look back.
I can't do it even with arm wrestling.
Twelve thousand people. When these soldiers heard that they were going out with their young father-in-law, they were so excited that they couldn't sleep for several days.
This was the master who killed all the Japanese pirates, and he had the closest relationship with the Shenji Camp. He dared to play with a second-grade official just for a soldier from the Shenji Camp.
There must be a big force going out this time. With the young master's ability to cause trouble, I don't know how many bandits and Japanese pirates he will kill.
The veterans were very excited, and the recruits were excited to hear the legends of the veterans and the country. So 13,000 people, carrying sufficient supplies, followed Xu Qin and set out from Nanjing in a mighty manner.
Along the Yangtze River, we first arrived at Liujiagang.
Mr. Xia, who received the news first, was shocked. Instead of 2,000 people, why did it turn into 13,000 people? This is no joke.
Fortunately, Liujiagang now has strong appeal and sputtering capabilities. The camp was ready in three days, as well as the initial supplies.
In the later period, a large number of ships were still hired, and these 13,000 people went north along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. And the supplies followed northward in the water.
The British Duke led his troops to Liujiagang. I was shocked by everything here. There are all kinds of boats floating on the water. The harbor was almost paved.
I thought it was prosperous in Enshe Land, but it was nothing compared to here.
All kinds of goods are piled at the port, and there are also foreign visitors in different clothes. The buildings here are tall and thick, and the streets are wide and hard.
And everyone moved forward close to one side. There are also urban management officials in black clothes who are in charge of almost everything. There are public restrooms for men and women.
No stalls are allowed on the streets, there are fixed places and markets.
After walking around, he understood clearly. No wonder the Japanese pirates would be eliminated. This is simply a big Bagua array.
Every building is designed, whether in terms of location or height, to provide the best firing point for cannons and artillery.
"Is this the cross-fire and deep firepower he is trying to achieve? It's because there are not enough others, and they are all new recruits. Otherwise..."
Zhang Fu began to re-evaluate Xu Qin's abilities.
In fact, Xu Qin's level is only at the stage of playing tower defense games, but he believes that professional things should be done by professional people. So I asked many veterans with rich combat experience for advice.
After Xu Qin came back, he immediately asked Zhang Fu to take a bath. His bathhouse was built.
After steaming, massage, cupping, and massage, Zhang Fu just felt like he was in heaven.
More than a dozen women brought by the Ming Dynasty in the south of Japan are now all trained as masters of massage and foot massage techniques here.
These women were originally given to Zhu Di, but the old man thought they were too ugly and had no place to put them, so he asked Haifansi to take care of them.
Xu Qin switched from his left hand to his right hand.
After having a few hearty meals, the Japanese women immediately became energetic and worked so hard that it was amazing. The entire yard was tidied up so that no one dared to set foot, and many artistic landscapes were arranged on a whim.
It makes this place look less like a bathhouse and more like an art park. It's just that this Ming Dynasty talk is too awkward.
