Chapter 242. I, Mao Jue, hit the money!
Although the war with the Dongjiang River, this is the second year, but for the Dongjiang, the shogunate really doesn't know much, followed Mao Jue to the back of the barracks, watched the teams running around the playground, and the training of slamming his teammates to the ground in the binge, while walking, Aoyama Yukinari was fascinated.
In particular, Mao Jue actually led him to the big killer that the shogunate had always feared, the cannon of the Dongjiang River! Looking at the three-meter-long cast iron cannon on the cannon rack, which was completely different from even the Southern Barbarian cannon, Aoyama Yukinari was eyes straightened, and he seized all the time, wanting to remember it in his mind.
However, he soon lost his mind.
"How's the adjustment?"
"Master Hui, all the yuan have been adjusted!"
In the Dongjiang Army, where burly and strong men are gathered, there is still such a thin man, Mao Jue muttered a clear word, and Qingshan Xingcheng didn't understand it, but immediately, Mao Jue suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the Tokugawa Great Castle Guard, which was swarthy like a giant in the distance, but there were a few more holes, and he actually said to him with a smile.
"Aoyama-sama! You, a craftsman, are too careless, and you actually pretend to be crooked, Mao is not talented, and I will adjust it for you!"
As he spoke, Mao Jue nodded to the thin man beside him, Sun Chun immediately raised two flags, and before Qingshan Xingcheng understood what was going on, the red flag suddenly waved down.
Bang~
The old man stumbled with a loud bang, and then, in his frightening anger, the five fort Hongyi cannons that were moved over suddenly spit out their anger, and then, the Tokugawa castle tower directly turned into three fat men, and his head was firmly hit with five sticks.
The bricks and tiles crackled and fell, and the roof of the castle tower collapsed, so far away, but Aoyama Kosei could still imagine how panicked and chaotic it would be in the Great Imperial Palace, and the old man was gloomy as if it was going to rain, and the old guy was jumping and roaring angrily.
"General Mao, what are you doing here?"
"Don't go too far!"
Dangerous eyes shot out of his pupils, and the old guy stared at Mao Jue with a threat, but unfortunately, Mao Jue was like a scoundrel, and he didn't take his threat in his eyes at all, but smiled and patted the full shell box next to him.
"Your Excellency, you and I are still at war, even if Mao is desperate, what can we do?"
"You!"
"200,000 stone grain, 50,000 taels of gold, what will it be like in the future, don't worry about it, Mao will see these things tomorrow! And don't talk about the price! Of course, Your Excellency can also choose not to give, but you can't see anything, my gunner is angry, and he will give you this to repair the house and cut the trees, but it may not be!"
I have to admit that Edo City is not small, although it is still in the countryside compared to Nanjing, but it has also caught up with the scale of Hangzhou and Jinan, when it is outside the city, Mao Jue's Hongyi cannon is really out of reach, but when it comes to this tenant island, more than half of the huge Edo is under his artillery fire.
It's really like the Yankees of later generations, Lao Tzu just has air superiority, and if he says to blow up your right egg, he will never blow up your left egg, don't accept it? Bear with it!
The old man's face was pale with anger, and the old guy was speechless angrily, so he simply waved his sleeves violently, turned around angrily and left.
In the back, Mao Jue was still shouting with a smile at the top of his voice.
"Lord Qingshan, early tomorrow morning, I'm waiting to collect the money!"
…………
The first time, in less than an hour, Aoyama Yukinari's small sedan chair came out upside down, full of anger, he went straight to the main castle tower, and entered the palace amid the greetings of the samurai servants on both sides.
But this time, he was greeted even more warmly than yesterday, and as soon as he came in, not only the shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu stood up suddenly, but even his political opponent Inaba Masakatsu asked hurriedly.
"Lord Aoyama, what's going on with the big barrel shelling just now?"
"Tang Kou launched it, he asked the shogunate for 200,000 stone of grain and 50,000 taels of gold, and he was responsible for blowing up the main castle tower."
With a stomach full of indignation, Aoyama Xingcheng replied casually, after saying this, he wanted to advocate attacking now and fighting to the death with Dongjiang Mao Jue, who knows, before the words were spoken, Tokugawa Iemitsu actually asked in a hurry: "If you give this money and grain, will the Tang thief not shell my castle tower?" ”
"General, you, do you really want to give?"
It was full of incredulity, Aoyama Yukinari shouted indignantly, and the Tokugawa iemitsu who roared was stunned, and the old middle inaba Masakatsu on the side immediately coughed heavily.
"Lord Aoyama, pay attention, you are in front of the general!"
"The minister is guilty!"
also woke up, and Aoyama Xingcheng prostrated again, but he still kowtowed angrily.
"General, the decisive battle between my shogunate army and the Tang thieves is imminent, and the artillery has no eyes, how can I pay this useless money for the sake of temporary stability?"
"Aoyama-sama's words are wrong! The Great Castle Guard is a symbol of Ieyasu's public exploits, it took ten years, and no less than one million stone was built, if it was destroyed under the fire of the Tang thieves, even if the Tang thieves were destroyed, my Tokugawa family in the eyes of the Daimyo, where is the majesty? ”
"If it's just 200,000 stone of rice, 50,000 taels of gold can be exchanged for Tang thieves not shelling here, it's worth it!"
"What Inaba-sama said is right!"
"Inaba-sama is exactly what the old man said!"
To Qingshan Xingcheng's stunned, this Inaba Zhengsheng finished speaking, and even if they were on their side, there were actually several people who nodded their heads, and in addition to being angry, this old guy could be regarded as a little sober, and he suddenly understood.
Mao Jue's trick is yin!
Since his cannons can hit the Great Castle Tower, and most of Edo Castle is within his strike range, the houses, properties, children, and servants of the bannermen, retainers, and bigwigs are also under the threat of artillery fire.
Now it's not as good as the Battle of Sekigahara 35 years ago, if you don't count the Battle of Osaka, the world has been peaceful for 35 years, and after more than 100 years of fighting, the poor clanging warriors have also begun to accumulate some family foundations, and everyone has begun to feel sorry for their own industry.
I really want to scold, if Tokugawa Ieyasu is sitting here, who dares to care about his own one-third of an acre of land, they are all iron to death, and they will kill the Dongjiang Army if they are both defeated, but now, is this still a samurai?
But after all, it was an era of peace, and the anger was burning in his cavity, looking at the concerned eyes of Tokugawa Iemitsu, the words were finally swallowed by Aoyama Yukinari, he was also old, and he didn't dare to risk offending most of the old people, retainers, and banners, and persisted.
"Minister, go ask again!"
…………
"Hurry up! Move in! Put! This is high-quality rice, don't prevent moisture, whoever wants to make a mistake will go back to your house to eat the moldy!"
Many Japanese farmers have grown rice for a lifetime, and have never eaten a ton, even when it came to the Meiji Restoration, it has not changed much, and the Japanese cooking rice fairy village Shima Meng in later generations is the one that advertises the farmer's three punches a little painfully, and the old devil who popped up in Youku advertising is a whole thing, when he was young, he once participated in the Northeast colonial reclamation of the devil, and planted the field for several years, but he never ate a bowl of rice.
The reason why he became a cooking immortal is because of this, when the devil retreated, in line with the idea of breaking the jar and breaking it, he and other young people in the village cooked and ate the rice that should have been handed over to the military department, and the sweetness of that meal made him never forget it in his life, and he also devoted himself to the study of cooking rice in this life, and he had the title of cooking immortal in his later years.
But such a precious rice was carried to Hengtong Bridge basket by basket without money, and then under the guns of the Ming army, it was moved in.
Or yesterday's Huahua military tent, Mao Jue has also become a fan of money, the country is a large island formed by volcanic eruptions, and the fierce geological movement has also brought rich mineral deposits, they settle many places are directly with gold, 50,000 taels of gold are enough to fill five large boxes, as soon as they are opened, the gold is shining almost blinding his titanium alloy dog eyes.
Not to mention Mao Jue, even if Yu Leer, the official lady, has never seen so much gold in her life, she has become like a beckoning cat, and she excitedly took a big judgment, which is the largest gold coin in her hand, and she is reluctant to put it down.
"Don't worry, Mao is the general of the Celestial Empire after all, even if you and I fight to the death, Mao will never fire another cannonball at the Great Heaven Castle Tower!"
couldn't close his mouth, Mao Jue patted his chest righteously, joking, such a big target for blackmail, is he willing to blow it up? Besides, if you really want to fight, of course, the few shells left are thrown into your devil's heap, where there are many people, and blow up those places that are insignificant to the war situation, neurotic!
Obviously, Aoyama Yukinari also understands that this is not a good thing for the shogunate, not to mention who the cannonball falls on in the end, the samurai family began to be content with pleasure, liking wealth and respecting the life of the minister, and the Heike samurai back then, wasn't it defeated on this? What a shame is it that the castle tower was supposed to be the ultimate fortress for war, but in the end it became the target of the enemy's abduction?
Seeing Mao Jue dancing there, Qingshan Xingcheng, who gritted his teeth, couldn't help but roar and curse in a low voice.
"General Mao, don't be too happy! The winner has not yet been decided, and you really don't think about your subordinates, your own name? ”
"You don't have to worry about Lord Qingshan, Mao has his own plans, but today's matter is matched by Lord Lao, or can you take some?"
With a bang, Mao Jue grabbed a large handful of gold coins proudly, handed them over with a smile, and the angry old man simply flicked his sleeves and turned around to leave.
Holding the gold coin, watching his departing back, the smile on Mao Jue's face gradually turned into a sinister smile, and he snorted coldly.
"Want to get money out of the master? In Beijing dialect, grandma!"
