Chapter 499: Nobunaga Yamada

"General, it's not that we are greedy for life and fear of death, but that the firearms of King Qi are not much different from those of the Dutch. This is the reason why we really failed..."
In the almost stagnant atmosphere, Sakai nervously explained the details of what happened on the battlefield. W. 』⒉３
"In addition to flintlocks, King Qi's army has a large number of artillery pieces. Our soldiers were killed and injured in the process." Makino Chunming also explained.
Sakai immediately said: "General, this is the flintlock we snatched back from the soldiers of King Qi, as evidence."
Sitting in the middle of the Daming Mansion sits a man of majestic stature, about fifty years old. The man wears a footblade weave, a black wind-brown hat on his head, and a pair of tiger eyes under his thick eyebrows.
He was Nobunaga Yamada, the conqueror. After ten years of conquest, he ruled the country and made many famous names surrender under his feet.
In order to control the country, he ordered the construction of Yamada Castle, which is now a big city with a population of 500,000.
His general mansion is in this Yamada city.
Taking the flintlock from Sakai, Nobunaga Yamada fell from the top and observed it carefully.
"This is indeed not a Dutch flintlock. You didn't lie." Yamada Nobunaga slowly lowered the flintlock, frowning his brows. "This King Qi is too unusual. How much do you know about him."
When Sakai served as a mercenary for the Dutch, he obtained information about the king of Qi from the Dutch population. He said: "General, this king of Qi is the seventh prince of the country of Da Yu. Three years ago, he was just an ordinary person. Only after a serious illness three years ago, the prince suddenly changed his personality, and all kinds of weird policies and skills continued. Relying on him, the Great Yu State drove the Golden Horde from Cangzhou to Shanhaiguan. In addition, his feudal state is west of Tengzhou, which is where we plan to land." Sakai said.
"Is he able to arm such a huge musket army in three years?" Yamada Nobunaga said incredulously.
Sakai nodded, "The emperor of Dayu has also questioned it, but this king of Qi said that he had studied with a missionary from the West."
"How is it possible that 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 this, but the Dutch thought the same as the generals. They didn't believe that King Qi could develop the country to this level in just three years with the help of missionaries. , But the facts are in front of us, and we have to believe it."
Yamada Nobunaga closed his eyes and seemed to think about a very deep question. It took him a long time to open his eyes. He said: "This king of Qi must be our confidant in the future. If so, we have to change our original plan. Now We have to occupy Goryeo first."
"Goryeo?" Other famous people started to talk about it. One person said: "General, but Goryeo is now a vassal state of the Golden Horde. If we attack Goryeo, it will inevitably arouse the anger of the Golden Horde."
"Yes, the Golden Horde can be much stronger than the Great Yu Kingdom." Another big name said.
Yamada Nobunaga suddenly raised his hand to stop the discussion of other daimyos. He said: "Today's Golden Horde is not the former Golden Horde. Now the most important enemy for the Golden Horde is the Great. In Yu, they will not fight on both sides under the threat of this king of Qi, so we can take this opportunity to occupy part of the territory of Goryeo. I think the Golden Horde will have to admit this fact by then."
After a pause, he continued: "Furthermore, the mountains of Goryeo are not very suitable for cavalry combat, and the Golden Horde lost to King Qi's musket team, and infantry may not be able to defeat us."
Many famous people nodded after hearing the words, and Yamada Nobunaga's words are not unreasonable.
With an overbearing smile, Yamada Nobunaga continued: "As long as we can occupy Goryeo, we will be able to slowly deal with Great Yu, and the entire Great Yu is just the king of Qi with excellent firearms. Don’t forget our soldiers. But they are all equipped with matchlocks."
"It's just a general. This king Qi is equipped with a flintlock gun. The range and filling speed of this gun is not comparable to our matchlock gun." Sakai reminded.
Makino Chunming also echoed: "Yes, General, we are falling out with the Dutch now. They can't teach us how to make flintlocks, it is better for us to directly imitate the flintlocks from the Great Yu country."
When it comes to this, Yamada Nobunaga's face is suddenly hard to look. He said: "Do you think we craftsmen really can't make flintlocks? Although there is no machine like the Dutch said, we can also make them with the number of craftsmen. , It’s just that we don’t have flint at all."
Sakai and Haruaki Makino lowered their heads when they heard this. They finally understood why they had been producing matchlocks, although they had the ability to make flintlocks.
After talking about the flintlock, Yamada Nobunaga turned sharply, and his eyes became sharp. He said to Sakai and Makino Haruaki: "Even so, your defeat is still a shame to the samurai, but there is still a little use for you. Let me leave a finger."
Sakai and Haruaki Makino were overjoyed. They thought they were bound to die, but now Yamada Nobunaga gave them a chance to survive.
"General Xie for not killing."
Sakai and Haruaki Makino simultaneously drew the knives from their waists, facing the big names ~EbookFREE.me~, they cut off their fingers without hesitation.
Blood ran down the fingers, Sakai and Haruaki Makino gritted their teeth.
Yamada Nobunaga glanced at the fingers of the two that fell on the ground. He said: "Now the sea route is occupied by the Dutch and the King of the Kingdom of Da Yu, and this should belong to us. Even if we fail in Ryukyu, we cannot Let them be so easy, from now on you can attack any merchant ship belonging to Great Chongqing and the Netherlands."
"Yes, General." Said Sakai and Haruaki Makino.
With a wave of his hand, Yamada Nobunaga told Sakai and Makino Haruaki to leave.
At this time, a daimyo asked incomprehensibly: "General, why do we have to conquer Great Yu country?"
Yamada Nobunaga looked at the world map hanging in the main hall at this time. It was a gift from the Dutch. He pointed to the map and said: "Our country is surrounded by sea and the territory is very narrow and long. When I saw this map It always feels that one day our country will sink to the bottom of the sea. We are a good nation and should not live here. What we need is the land of the country of Da Yu, and the humble people of Da Yu are not worthy of living in that rich land. They are only worthy of being enslaved by us."
