Iron Dynasty

General, it's not that we are greedy for life and fear of death, but that King Qi's firearms are not much different from those of the Dutch. This is why we really failed...

In the almost stagnant atmosphere, Sakai nervously explained the details of what happened on the battlefield.

In addition to the flintlock guns, King Qi's army also has a large number of artillery pieces. Our soldiers were killed and wounded in the process. Makino Chunming also explained.

Sakai then said: General, this is the flintlock gun we grabbed from the soldiers of King Qi, as proof.

In the middle of the Daming Mansion, there was a sturdy, fifty-year-old man sitting cross-legged.

He was Yamada Nobunaga, who was shocked by the expedition against the barbarians. After ten years of conquest, he ruled the country and made many great names surrender to his feet.

In order to be able to control the country, he ordered the construction of Yamada Castle, which is now a large city with a population of half a million people.

His general's mansion is in this Yamada Castle.

Taking the flintlock gun from Sakai, Yamada Nobunaga fell from the top and looked carefully.

This is indeed not a Dutch flintlock gun, you are not lying. Nobunaga Yamada slowly put down the flintlock gun, his brows furrowed, This King Qi is too unusual, how much do you know about him.

When Sakai was acting as a mercenary for the Dutch, he got the information about this King Qi from the Dutch population, he said: General, this King Qi is the seventh prince of the Great Yu Kingdom. Three years ago, he was just an ordinary man. The prince, but after a serious illness three years ago, this prince suddenly changed his personality, and all kinds of strange policies and skills continued, and relying on him, the Dayu Kingdom drove the Golden Horde from Cangzhou to Shanhaiguan Besides, his seal is just west of Dengzhou, which is exactly where we plan to land. Sakai said.

In three years he was able to arm such a huge musket army? Yamada Nobunaga said in disbelief.

Sakai nodded, The emperor of the Great Yu Kingdom also questioned it, but this King Qi said that he once studied with a missionary from the West.

How is it possible, we also have missionaries in our country, why can't they bring us such a big change?

Sakai shook his head, We don't know that, but the Dutch and the generals thought the same, they didn't believe that King Qi was able to develop the feudal kingdom to this level in just three years with the help of missionaries. , but the fact is in front of us, and we have to believe it.”

Yamada Nobunaga closed his eyes and seemed to be thinking about a very profound question. It took him a long time to open his eyes and he said, This King Qi must be a big problem for our confidants in the future. If this is the case, we have to change the original plan. Now We have to occupy Goryeo first.

Koryo? After hearing this, the other famous people started to discuss, and one person said, General, it's just that Goryeo is now a vassal state of the Golden Horde. If we attack Goryeo, it will definitely cause the anger of the Golden Horde.

That's right, the Golden Horde is much stronger than the Great Yu Kingdom. Another big name said.

Yamada Nobunaga suddenly raised his hand to stop the other daimyo's comments, he said: Today's Golden Horde is not the previous Golden Horde, and now the most important enemy to the Golden Horde is the Great Emperor. Yu Kingdom, under the threat of the King of Qi, they will not fight on both sides, so we can take this opportunity to occupy part of the territory of Goryeo, I think the Golden Horde will definitely have to admit this fact.

After a pause, he continued: Moreover, the mountains in Korea are not very suitable for cavalry combat, and the Golden Horde lost to King Qi's Musketeer team, and infantry may not be able to defeat us.

All the famous people nodded after hearing this, and Yamada Nobunaga's words were not without reason.

With a domineering smile, Yamada Nobunaga continued: As long as we can occupy Goryeo, we will be able to slowly deal with the Great Yu Kingdom, and the entire Great Yu Kingdom is just that the King Qi has excellent firearms troops, don't forget our soldiers. But they're all armed with arquebuses.

It's just a general. This King Qi is equipped with a flintlock gun. The range and reloading speed of this musket are not comparable to our arquebuses, Sakai reminded.

Muye Chunming also echoed: Yes, General, we are falling out with the Dutch now. They can't teach us how to make flintlock guns. It's better for us to directly copy the flintlock guns from the Great Yu Kingdom.

Speaking of this, Yamada Nobunaga's face suddenly became ugly, and he said: Do you think we craftsmen really can't make flintlock guns? Although there is no such machine as the Dutch said, we can also make it by relying on the number of craftsmen. , but we have no flint at all.

Sakai and Makino lowered their heads when they heard the words. They finally understood why they had been producing arquebuses even though they had the ability to make flintlock guns.

Yamada Nobunaga changed his words after talking about the flintlock gun, and his eyes became sharp, he said to Sakai and Makino Chunaki: Even so, your defeat is still a disgrace to the samurai, but it is still useful for you to read it every time. Leave a finger alone.

Sakai and Makino Chunming were overjoyed. They thought they would die, but now Yamada Nobunaga gave them a chance to survive.

Thank you General for not killing me.

Sakai and Makino Harunaki pulled out the short knives from their waists at the same time, and they cut off their own fingers without hesitation in the face of the crowd.

Blood flowed down the fingers, Sakai and Makino Chunming clenched their teeth.

Yamada Nobunaga glanced at the fingers of the two that fell on the ground, and he said: Now the sea route is occupied by the Dutch and the King Qi of the Great Yu Kingdom, and this should belong to us, even if we fail in Ryukyu, we cannot Make it so easy for them that from now on you can attack any merchant ship belonging to the Great Yu Kingdom and the Netherlands.

Yes, General. Sakai and Makino Chunming responded.

With a wave of his hand, Yamada Nobunaga asked Sakai and Makino Chunmei to leave.

At this time, a big name asked inexplicably: General, why do we have to conquer the Great Yu Kingdom?

Yamada Nobunaga looked at the world map hanging in the hall at this time. It was a gift from the Dutch. He pointed to the map and said, Our country is surrounded by the sea on all sides, and the territory is very narrow. When I saw the map of this map. I always feel that one day our country will sink to the bottom of the sea. We are an excellent nation and should not live here. What we need is the land of the Great Yu country, and the humble people of the Great Yu country do not deserve to live in that rich land. Come on, they are only worthy of being enslaved by us.
