Chapter 580(1/2)
"Will there be any problems in the Spaniards help the Japanese? Can the Song people resist the Japanese attack?"
Along the way, Xu Yan tactfully raised the issues he was worried about.
Faced with the worry of Xu Yan, a Ming Dynasty figure, the Portuguese businessman looked like an old god, and replied without any concern: "Sir, you don't have to worry about the force of the Song people at all. Even if the Japanese have the help of the Spanish, they will definitely not be able to defeat the Song people. I can assure you that the Song people will definitely surprise the Japanese people."
Then, the Portuguese businessman told Xu Yan in detail what happened on the American continent and everything he saw with his own eyes.
Not to mention anything else, dozens of warships defeated the attacks of more than 400 Western-style warship pirates, and the disposable shoulder-carrying rocket launcher used to defeat the British, all of which surprised Xu Yan.
Of course, when fighting against pirates, the Europeans did not see the iron fishing boats.
Otherwise, he would be even more surprised.
However, Xu Yan was not too shocked by the disposable healthy rocket launcher.
Because there were similar weapons on the Ming Dynasty.
What are the same as the disposable rocket launcher, such as "flying thunder", "thunderbolt bomb".
Therefore, Xu Yan believes that the weapon mentioned by the Portuguese merchants is just like this.
In fact, he didn't know that the rocket launcher used by the Song people was much more powerful than the weapons he had in his impression.
There is nothing comparable at all.
However, it is impossible for Portuguese merchants to say this clearly.
After all, Portuguese businessmen are also half-baked, they have only seen it.
However, the Portuguese were so confident about the fighting power of the Song people, which attracted Xu Yan's attention.
Moreover, they also clearly felt the scene of bombing Osaka Commercial Town just now.
That power is absolutely nothing to say.
If you fight against the Ming Navy at sea, the Ming Navy will be annihilated.
The Song people's sea boats are so sharp.
The power of a volley shot is simply a change of color.
Well, even pirates like Li Xiang and Zheng Zhilong will not have any good results when they face the fleet of the Song Empire.
The warships of the Song Empire are really sharp.
Even Xu Yan thought that as the Song Empire came to the east, perhaps the Ming Dynasty's maritime power might be reversed.
However, Xu Yan was not too worried about this.
After all, the Ming Dynasty did not care much about the matter at sea.
Therefore, the court would not care about what happened at the sea.
What I really care about is only those ministers and nobles who have maritime business, and only they care about this.
However, they care about different aspects.
What they are concerned about is whether their business can go smoothly and they don’t care about who is ruling the things on the sea front.
What will Li Xiang and Zheng Zhilong react with the arrival of the Song people's fleet?
Maybe, the southeastern coastal areas will be in chaos.
In this way, there is no way to do business.
It seems that after meeting the Song people, I need to test their thoughts about coming to the East.
At the same time, we also need to find an opportunity to meet Li Xiang and Zheng Zhilong.
Although Li Xiang and Zheng Zhilong are pirates, they still have many unclear relationships with some powerful figures in the Ming Dynasty.
Xu Yan is very familiar with the two of them, who made him stand behind him a powerful nobleman?
So, Li Xiang and Zheng Zhilong were very polite to him.
Therefore, he could find a chance to meet these two sea tycoons.
Of course, first of all, he needs to know what the Song people think.
If the Song people had no ambitions for the southeastern seas, then the Ming Dynasty's seas could still remain stable and their business would not be affected.
This is the best result.
Although Li Xiang and Zheng Zhilong are attacking each other for the hegemony at sea, their targets are only targeting each other's personnel, and they have no contact with those maritime merchants.
Neither Li Xiang nor Zheng Zhilong will touch on this bottom line in a brainless manner—
Dividing line—
About three miles away from Zhao Hongyu's camp, Tanaka, a samurai who was sent by Ishida Hedao, was stationed here with his men.
At this time, besides Tanaka, there were also a group of people with panic expressions following them.
These people are not others, they are the culprits who caused Zhao Hongyu to shell the Osaka Commercial Town, and they are also the most unlucky guy in history, Takeuchi Hitomi and his group.
It was just a small routine acceptance of bribes, and it was not a great thing at all.
But I was so desperate that Takeuchi kicked the iron plate this time.
God knows why these foreigners are so stingy that they can bombard Osaka Commercial Town without paying money.
In fact, when it comes to it, Takeuchi Ren is really the most unlucky person in the world, because even without him accepting bribes, Zhao Hongyu must have done something else and find a reason to cause trouble.
However, when Takeuchi Ren gave him an excuse, Zhao Hongyu took advantage of the issue and took advantage of it.
So, Takeuchi Ren is quite unlucky.
As long as this matter is spread, Takeuchi Ren will definitely be in trouble.
Moreover, it is unlikely to hide this matter.
He actually knows what kind of people these men of Takeuchi Hitomi are.
Now that things are getting so big, he doesn't believe that these people can still follow him.
Therefore, the truth of the matter will soon spread.
At that time, I... wuwuwu.
Thinking of this, Takeuchi Ren was very sad.
But, now that things have come to this point, what can he do?
Everything is left to fate.
I hope my daughter is powerful and can convince the general Hiroshi Ishida that the punishment given to me will not be so powerful.
This is the only expectation that Takeuchi has now.
It happened that after he and his subordinates fled from Commercial Town, they met Tanaka and others.
Tanaka knew the general's father-in-law. After seeing him, he quickly got off the horse and comforted Takeuchi.
When Tanaka asked why the Osaka Commercial Town was bombarded, Takeuchi Ren did not hide anything like a bean poured on the bamboo tube, and he told Tanaka.
Anyway, this matter cannot be concealed. It is better to say it yourself than others.
In this way, others can also give you a high look at yourself, and maybe you can strive for a leniency.
At this point, Tanaka knew the whole story.
After listening to Takeuchi’s story, the one in Tianzhong was churning.
First of all, Tanaka hated Takeuchi so much that he despised what he did.
In fact, Takeuchi's reputation among all the daimyos and samurai classes is not good at all.
This guy relies on his being the general's father-in-law and his daughter is favored by the general's side, and he has always been rampant in his actions.
Now that he had such a big situation, it would be impossible for Tanaka to not hate him.
At the same time, Tanaka also felt a little amused and crying about the foreigners who shelled Osaka.
It was just a small bribe. If you don’t give it, just don’t give it. Are you as for the angrily bombarding Osaka?
Yes, Takeuchi doesn't give you any face, but this is not a big deal at all.
That's good. A shelling made things worse. The shogunate was beaten in the face, and the foreigners were definitely not good in the end.
Why bother?
No matter what, Tanaka felt relieved after listening to Takeuchi's story about the causes and consequences.
At least, in the middle of this matter, nothing else would be fine if there was no remnant of Tokugawa.
You should know that Osaka Daimi Ishida Hodo sent him out, in addition to finding opportunities to contact those foreigners, another most important purpose is to check whether this matter is related to the remnants of Tokugawa.
This is the most important thing.
Now, he can finally feel relieved because this matter was done by Takeuchi and has nothing to do with Tokugawa Revulse.
Therefore, a big stone fell to the ground, and the fields became much more relaxed.
Then, Tanaka sent his subordinates to take Takeuchi to Ishida Hokuo, and asked Tanaka to explain the causes and consequences to Daming, so that he could rest assured.
