Chapter 802: Merge
"My lord, my subordinates are really knowledgeable, and your firearms are too ...... It's too overbearing. Nanazaemon looked at AKM with a bull mallet and was stunned.
In fact, both Chiyo Honda and Korridge are high-ranking figures, and it is essential for guards to defend themselves when they go out, and ordinary assassins are not to say that the assassination is successful, even if they break into the side of the target, it is as difficult as the sky.
Prior to this, Shichizaemon had been worried that this young prince who played cards unreasonably and boldly encountered an accident, Liu Hongjian was the benefactor of the Zheng family, and his brother Zheng Sen strictly ordered him to protect Liu Hongjian thoroughly.
After all, more than a dozen people dare to play assassination, or is it grandiose, who dares to believe this?
But after experiencing two blood-pumping assassinations in a row, Nanazaemon can truly understand Liu Hongji's dependence.
Although there are many guards around Honda Chiyo and Coleridge, the weapons in the former's hands are all cold weapons, which are not worth mentioning at all.
Although the Dutch camp where Colridge was located was replaced with muskets, their muskets were all single-shot, and the firepower was very scattered without forming a phalanx.
The whole assassination process was done in one go, and Liu Hongjian never dragged his feet, that is, it was not ambiguous to run away after pretending.
"My lord, which one shall we kill next?" Kuduan looked up and asked Liu Hongjian while pressing the bullet into the magazine, and it was obvious that this guy enjoyed the assassination process.
Run after the fight, how exciting!
"Kill the wool! Don't you see that the whole city is under martial law now? Stay honest! Liu Hong gradually said angrily.
No one would have imagined that the people who killed Chiyo Honda and Coleridge would be hiding in a cellar in Edo Castle.
"Great! Brother Niu, let's have a drink......"
Kuoduan has no temper at all, this cellar is owned by the cloth village opened by Nanzaemon in Edo, in addition to a lot of miscellaneous items, a few people have also collected a few jars of old wine.
They are all fierce men with big nerves, and the samurai outside are in a mess to kill them, and they can all drink happily and with peace of mind, Nanazaemon secretly smacked his tongue.
"Ergi, does the Tokugawa family have enemies in Toei?" Liu Hong asked in a low voice to Nanazaemon.
"Back to the prince, there is, there is, when the Tokugawa family unified Dongying, they did a lot of lack of virtue, which led to many complaints from the daimyo who later returned to Shun.
The Miki family, the Saito family, and the Nishimoto family...... It's just that...... They only dare to be angry and dare not speak, compared to the power of the Tokugawa family, they are too weak. ”
Nanazaemon knew in his heart what Liu Hong gradually wanted to do, but the Tokugawa family had been unified for nearly forty years, which was almost two generations, the strong were stronger, and the weak were even weaker, and they couldn't be counted on at all.
"It's okay to be weak, isn't there still this king, this king will help them become stronger." Liu Hong gradually swore and smirked.
"You immediately write a letter to those forces that hate the Tokugawa shogunate, and tell them anonymously that the Tokugawa family will be in chaos soon, let them gather strength and wait for the opportunity!"
Liu Hong gradually did not worry that these guys did not believe that there were traitors in troubled times, if the situation was suitable, no careerists would be willing to fall behind, chaos was the ladder to control power, and it was the original sin of careerists to fall down and everyone pushed down.
As he expected, after a few days, not only did the situation in Edo become tense, but also the surrounding castles were a little different.
Tokugawa Iemitsu naturally knew this, but when he was so depressed that he didn't understand who was behind all this.
In order to resolve the sudden crisis, Tokugawa Iemitsu had to submit another request for negotiations in the name of the Toei Imperial Court, and in order to show his sincerity, he agreed to go to the flagship of the Dutch Marie to negotiate in person.
Tokugawa Iemitsu, who had been trading with the Dutch for a long time, knew that the Dutch were the most mercenary, and everything they did in Toei was just to make money.
For the Dutch, as long as they are willing to pay, there is no problem that cannot be solved, and if there is, then double.
The Iwami Silver Mine was in his hands, and the output of the Iwami Silver Mine was the backbone of Tokugawa Iemitsu, who vowed to take aim at the daimyo who were about to make a move after pacifying the Dutch.
It's just that Liu Hongjian will give him a chance? The answer, of course, is no, and he is also waiting for an opportunity, a chance to muddy the waters even more.
There were two assassinations in succession in Edo Castle, and even those in power became panicked, and even when they went out, they would send several times more armed to defend them, especially Tokugawa Iemitsu, and he often cowered in the shogunate.
"Tianbao, how sure are you?" Liu Hong, who got the news, gradually asked Yang Tianbao, the leader of the sniper team, excitedly.
The old turtle Tokugawa Iemitsu was very cautious, and when he left the shogunate, he brought more than 5,000 guards, and the inner and outer three layers could not see the deity at all, which made Liu Hong gradually very painful.
But who knew that the Dutch were also very sincere in the negotiations, and even drove the Mary to the beach to meet them, and Tokugawa Iemitsu's guards extended the warning range to more than 300 steps, which they thought was a safe enough distance.
Not far from the sea, there were several Dutch warships to protect them, and more than 5,000 Japanese samurai and musketeers on the shore were on guard, and both sides believed that nothing was wrong.
It happened that the sun was shining, and the two sides specially chose the negotiation location on the deck of the Mary, so Liu Hongji's mood was also very bright.
There was a distance of about 400 steps from the Marie to the outer safety of the Tokugawa family escort, and there were three people in the sniper team who could guarantee a hit rate of more than 400 steps.
Yang Tianbao, Li Zhennan, Jin Yangming, and the best marksmanship is the captain Yang Tianbao.
Yang Tianbao is also the first batch of subordinates to follow Liu Hong to the south and the north, although he is only twenty years old now, but he has become very calm after the baptism of war.
"Eight points." Yang Tianbao glanced at the battleship in the distance, picked up the AKM and looked at it through the newly developed scope of the Ordnance Institute, and said in a low voice.
His eyesight is already different from ordinary people, but the combat terrain is on the seaside, the farther away the bullet is affected by the wind, if it is in a windless plain, Yang Tianbao has at least nine points of certainty.
"What about the two of you?" Liu Hong nodded gradually, and asked Li Zhennan and Jin Yangming again.
"Six." Li Zhennan said shyly.
"I ...... I'm only five or six points sure. Jin Yangming followed.
The sniper team's maximum sniper distance during their usual training is 300 steps, and the distance of more than 400 steps is indeed difficult.
"That's enough, when it passes later, Li Zhennan and Yang Tianbao are aiming at Tokugawa Iemitsu at the same time, and Jin Yangming is aiming at the Viscount Jon in the Netherlands.
Remember, there is only one chance to shoot, run away after the fight. At the end, Liu Hongjian added.
