Chapter 1062 Hirado is not Tianjin

There are more than 1,000 thieves who are active between Hizen and Chikuzen provinces, where Hirado is located, and they often threaten the existence of Hirado, and these thieves raid the merchants on land and sea, and often defeat the armies of the local daimyos, in fact, everyone knows in their hearts that this group of thieves is the backbone of the samurai of the Mori family, and recruits deserters from the Otomo family and pirates from Tsushima, etc., in order to target the area of Hirado.

The Mori family's influence in the western country was deeply entrenched, and although Toyotomi Hideyoshi was already dominating the Japanese kingdom and subduing the daimyo of Kyushu, the Mori family still reached out to Kyushu, and when Hirado could not be controlled by them, it was necessary to let the Hirado not develop too fast and too big.

After Shen Vao returned to Hirado, the first thing he did was to exterminate this group of thieves, Shen Vao and his gang were very familiar with the area of Hirado, and this group of thieves was quickly found out, and then surrounded by groups.

The samurai of the Mori family have a reputation for courage and tenacity throughout the Warring States, and the rest of the forces in Kyushu, except for the warriors of the Shimazu family, are not good at fighting, and they are very afraid of this bandit, although the daimyo of the Japanese country and the retainers below know that the sea lord is powerful, but they also have a little contempt in their hearts, thinking that how can the pirates compare with the samurai on land.

Shen Vain sent people to clean up the pirates, and the daimyo and the people of the country all had the intention of watching the excitement, if they suffered a loss, then everyone would have to talk about the conditions.

However, the battle ended quickly, and it shocked these warriors who sat in the well and watched the sky again, and the subordinates of Shen Vao, the king of the three waters, were not only able to rush and fight, but also used artillery in the battle to completely annihilate this group of thieves.

The various daimyo of the Warring States also had artillery in their hands, and it was a thing that could be held and fired with both hands, and it was called a "large barrel", which was a weakened version of the tiger squat cannon to put it bluntly.

The white people, who were called the southern barbarians by the Japanese people, had close trade relations with the Japanese people, and there were also white merchant houses and churches in several port cities, and there were also so-called "Kiritan" daimyos, that is, daimyo who believed in Catholicism, such as the Otomo family in Kyushu.

In such close exchanges, there are also some real artillery cannons, but the number is very small, and most of them are placed on the main city as a weapon to defend the country, such as the town of Otomo's artifact cannon "National Collapse", this artillery is only a six-pounder cannon, and it is very backward.

They never thought that they could also use artillery in the field, the kind that had wheels, could be dragged by two horses, and then could be quickly placed and fired.

Originally, the thieves were still trying to rush out, but after being bombarded by two shells, the entire team could not support it and collapsed, and then was divided and annihilated by Shen Vao's men.

The unexpected outcome of the battle greatly shocked the various forces in Kyushu, and news of the battle spread not only among the Kyushu daimyos, but also quickly sent to Osaka and Mikawa.

Everyone thinks so, if I get this powerful weapon, or if I get the help of Shen Yuan, the lord of the Ming Sea, this is the power that can dominate the "world", of course, this world is talking about the Wa Kingdom.

The Shimazu family, the Otomo family, and the Kobayakawa family, the retainer of Mori, all came to inquire about it, to see if they could get Shen Yu's support, or at least be able to buy this kind of artillery.

Although there are still dozens of daimyo and hundreds of forces in the Wa Kingdom, these are all controlled by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and in the face of the power that controls tens of millions of people and hundreds of thousands of troops, Shen Vain does not dare to be too unscrupulous as before.

He politely refused to form an alliance, but he promised to sell artillery, for such weapons, all parties in the country were willing to spend a lot of money to buy, a cannon can be sold several times or even dozens of times higher than the Ming Dynasty, and the currency used to pay is gold.

Such a huge profit is something that Shen Vain will not refuse, and after the bid reaches a certain height, Shen Vain begins to agree to buy and sell artillery.

In fact, there are not many sources for Shen Yuan to sell artillery, the only reliable one is Tianjin Wei, the small battleship sold there has more than a dozen guns on it, which can be disassembled and sold, according to the price sold in the Wa Kingdom, a few guns can even earn back the capital of the entire ship.

As for the artillery that Shen Vain used to fight the thieves, he spent a lot of money to buy it from the Sanjiang Workshop, and after buying a few people, he made four so-called scrapped artillery, and then spent a lot of effort to get gun carriages, gun carriages, etc., and barely formed a force.

However, Shen Vao's plan to make a fortune was soon shattered, Wang Tong's control order for the gunboat was issued, and it was impossible for Shen Vao to obtain artillery from this channel, and he had no way to do anything else.

In fact, Shen Vao's purchase of gunboats in Tianjin Wei also turned a few corners, he had unexposed subordinates in Tianjin Wei, and he was also a maritime businessman, and many things in Tianjin Wei had been closed to Shen Va, and he bought them through his agents, and there was also such and such convenience, and now no one can buy them.

"Give them all the deposits, you go in person, you must be polite and respectful when you go, there are still many things to rely on here in the future, do you understand?"

In Shen Vao's house, Shen Vain said to his subordinates in front of him with a gloomy face, his subordinates were wearing the clothes of the Japanese people, and listened respectfully, and the wooden boxes were piled up outside, and the escort guards and porters were preparing there.

The weather in Kyushu is warmer than that of Daming Songjiang, everyone is still wearing single shirts, looking at those wooden boxes, Shen Vao's face is even more gloomy, and the gold in his hand has to be spit out, how can he be happy.

"It's different now, it's not us back then, if we hate them, there will be such and such troubles, you have to lower it, now they are the master, you are the grandson, understand?"

Shen Vain added again, with quite unwillingness and helplessness in his tone, and the waiting subordinates bowed down there, and hurriedly agreed.

was here to order, but heard a cry from the side of the inner house, vaguely not very clearly, Shen Vao's residence in Hirado also occupies a large area, can hear this voice, want to cry a lot.

Although it was vague, everyone could hear the cry of a child, Shen Vao's face was already dark, and he said in a cold voice there:

"What's going on again?"

The cadres in the hall all bowed their heads, Shen Yuan's son Shen Yang was pampered, and Shen Yuan's personal cronies all knew that in the past two years, the big dragon head had raised a few small ones in Pinghu, and he had always wanted to get a child out, and the concubines of the Wa Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty also raised a lot.

But it's also unlucky, there was a widow who gave birth to a son, but he died before he arrived in a hundred days, and then he gave birth to any descendants or something, because of this, he was extremely spoiled by this single seedling, and he was really afraid of cold in the palm of his hand, and he was afraid of melting in his mouth, so arrogant, Shen Vao and several second cabinets below him were very unaccustomed to it in private, and they all knew that you Shen Vain wanted to pass on the family business to his son, but such a waste, how could he have the ability to inherit, don't be corrupted.

Outside said so, Shen Vao's inner house did not dare to have the slightest slackness, Shen Vain asked, and immediately a small servant ran in, Shen Vain became more and more irritable, waved his hand impatiently, and signaled that his subordinates could set off to return the money.

After sitting outside for a while, Shen Vain got up and walked towards the inner house, and only after entering the second gate, he saw the little guy running back, and when he came to him, he respectfully reported and said:

"Master, the young master said that he wanted to go back to Tianjin Wei ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was slapped heavily on his face, and the little guy covered his face and quickly knelt down and kowtowed, not daring to say a word, he snorted heavily, and strode in.

As soon as I entered the inner house, I heard a child's cry:

"I'm going back to Tianjin, there's nothing here, the streets are too dirty, wet ......"

For a rich boy who has been pampered since childhood, from the most prosperous Tianjin Wei in the world to this simple port of Hirado, this gap is too big, so that he has no way to adapt and accept, since he came to Hirado, he has been crying all day long.

Shen Vain walked into the yard with a black face, and saw his wife whispering to persuade her son with a face full of embarrassment, and when he saw himself coming in, the fat and ball-like Shen Yang cried even louder, Shen Vain walked to him, grabbed the child from the ground, and slapped him twice, he was a person with a knife, and his hand strength was really not small, after the beating, the corner of the fat boy's mouth was already bleeding.

"He's still a kid, what are you doing beating him like this."

The child was already stunned, because Shen Vao had never beaten him, Shen Vao's wife was anxious, and after being stunned, the child cried loudly.

"What are you crying about, the bastard of the loser, you will stay in Hirado for Lao Tzu in the future, don't think about going back!"

Shen Yuan roared violently, the mother and son over there rarely saw him have such a fierce time, they were all frightened, the fat boy Shen Yang was not really crying, and he was even more frightened at this time.

"Faucet, faucet, there is an emergency, there is an emergency!"

When this family was entangled, someone outside hurriedly shouted, the inner house is a private land, and the servants and maids are all shouting masters, and they all have the rules of a big family, and those who can shout like this are all characters in the sea brigade, and they must have something urgent to come over to shout.

"Be honest, learn literature and martial arts to boil your body, and if you slack off, Lao Tzu will hang on the mast for you to blow the wind!!"

After saying something viciously, Shen Vain walked out quickly, and as soon as he left the courtyard gate, he heard the howling and crying behind him, but Shen Vain ignored it.

"The dragon head, the soldiers of the Kobayakawa family are all moving, guarding the intersections, saying that someone from Chikugo is coming over, but who is not clear, but at least there are more than 400 flag samurai, it seems that the elite from Honshu has come."

"More than 400 dings? What do these people come to do? Our brethren on land on the ship ate them easily, could it be some kind of big man? ”

More than 400 Banner Samurai, the so-called Flag Warrior are all samurai directly under the Daimyo of the Wa Kingdom, the equipment and training are the most sophisticated, and they are the strongest force in the hands of the Daimyo, with the strength of the Sengoku Daimyo, the figure who can dispatch 400 Banner Samurai to guard at a time will definitely be a great man.

However, Shen Vain was puzzled and puzzled here, the main forces of the Kobayakawa family are on Honshu Island, and there are not many people on the Hirado side, even if these four hundred flags are added to Shen Vao, it is not enough for Shen Va, Shen Vain can easily eat him, and he doesn't need to spend any effort at all, what does such a person do.

In fact, the daimyo and nobles of the Wa Kingdom also understood this, and the heads of each family, the elders, and the like tried not to appear on the Hirado side, and they understood that there was no room for two nobles who gave orders in this small place.

"Send 200 men to this house to guard first, go to the port and tell the brothers to be vigilant, in this place of Hirado, there is no room for others to move, just be careful."

Shen Vain commanded, the leader of the report hurried away, Shen Vain entered the front hall, turned out a dagger in a box behind the screen and stuffed it into his boots, and then loaded the two short guns with ammunition, and lit the lamp on the table.

The two short guns are one of the products specially created by the Sanjiang Workshop for the rich, Shen Vain also bought it for self-defense, the fire guns of the Sanjiang Workshop are open to sale for people outside the border wall and overseas, Shen Vain has hundreds of long and short goods in his hand, but the use is actually not very big, the price is high, he bought this, the artillery piece, the road was just opened, and the heavy bribe of the Sanjiang Workshop has taken a lot of risks.

There are a lot of spies in the secret of Tianjin Weiming, and they are even more strict about important places like the craftsman's workshop, and after Shen Vain got out those few cannons, the people in the craftsman were put in prison, and the shop used for camouflage was also uprooted.

Now it's too late to think about these things, Shen Vain scolded in his heart, and now he found that whether he was forced or voluntarily to stay in Tianjin Wei, the advantages and disadvantages were actually the same, they were all the same as now, and the Sha Dacheng who took refuge in it had a Luzon side of the water and land to govern, if he took the initiative, the Nanyang countries might not have their own place, but now in this situation, thinking of this, Shen Vao's resentment towards Wang Tong was even worse, but he didn't expect that his family business had swelled a lot because of Tianjin Wei. It can already make the Japanese people marvel at the speed of his growth.

After sorting out these, the housekeeper of Shen Vao's mansion also came over, this person was actually from the local people, and he was very well-informed, he also heard what was going on outside, and hurriedly said nervously:

"Master, will the person who came this time be the last battle between Master Cha and the thieves, since Lord Guan Bai issued the 'Nothing to Do' order, he has been strict about this."

Shen Vain frowned, and before he could speak, he heard a guard running in in a hurry and said:

"Faucet, there's a post here!"
