Chapter 201 The World
.Chapter 201 World
The storm is not enough here. The news of the great defeat of the East and West armies was passed back to Japan, and the Japanese army was in a state of uproar. Half of the tens of thousands of Western Expeditionary Forces have now died, and half of them are about to die. This is not counting the losses suffered by the various naval forces. How can the family lords of these people not worry? Gradually, the public opinion pointed the finger at Antucheng, who was the pro-war faction back then.
The most determined warlord Oda Nobunaga was a bachelor. He published a report in the newspaper that he had to bear the main responsibility for his defeat and then shaved his head and became a monk. Then he announced his retirement in Antu Castle and established his son Oda Nobuta as the new governor. At the same time, Oda Nobuta also took over the position of Minister of the Taizheng. Even the blind man could see that this was just Oda Nobunaga's plan to retreat as a move, so how could he become a monk in Antu Castle? However, speaking reasoning depends on whether his fists are hard. I heard that Oda Nobunaga's breasts were seized in Japan this time.
The powerful 'national collapse' is said to be gone if the shot continues. (The thing is rumored to be no longer a red cannon, but an atomic bomb.) Since Oda Nobunaga made the attitude of admitting his mistake, it would be fine. How to deal with the matter now? Now the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers are still moaning under the iron hooves of the Ming army on the Korean Peninsula. Gradually, the peace-minded faction or the surrender faction has gained the upper hand in the public opinion circle. People are so fickle, and these people think of the representative figure of the peace-minded faction, who was retired from the military for opposing the dispatch of troops to North Korea.
As the new head of the family and the Taizheng minister appointed by the court, the important task of running errands and delivering letters was of course on Oda Nobuta. Of course, Oda Nobuta can also decide how much toilet paper is placed in the toilet. However, other things must be reported to the Supreme Emperor Oda Nobunaga one by one to make the decision. (Oda Nobunaga is the godfather of Emperor Masahito today) The current Taizheng Minister Oda Nobuta has been persuaded by Danames in various places. In fact, it was Oda Nobunaga's instructor to invite the number one element of the anti-war faction to come out to preside over the tomorrow's peace talks. As a great man in Japan, Oda Nobunaga certainly cannot go back on his word. At this time, everyone has a way to help Oda Nobuta to come forward to do business.
At this time, I also showed a little sign of being busy, "Baga, are you eating golden meals? You don't understand this. Look, it's been a year, and this thing is not done well. I'm better to raise pigs than to raise you. Pigs have been slaughtered for a year."
The R&D staff of the technical department endured the explosion of his lord. A technician just wanted to say, 'I really eat a golden meal.' He was covered by his mouth before he could say anything. The senior technicians knew that after the lord had a fire, he would give some constructive suggestions to improve it. The new things in the past were made through repeated improvements. If you talk back, the lord had various tricks to cure you. Last time, a thorn was sent by the lord to mix saltpeter and glycerin to enhance the acid reaction, but it was burned so much that there was not even a single eyelash left. It was really too naked than a monk.
After I was a little tired of spraying, I sat down and took a sip of tea, ‘Let’s try it first, and find the reasons to improve it together.’
The technicians below were relieved. A technical supervisor at the level of the department head clapped his hands, and four big men in the distance lifted a large shelf covered by red cloth. The technical supervisor pulled the red cloth and showed the answer, 'This is our latest achievement this year. The serial water truck cannon was improved according to the guidance of the continuous iron cannon requested by the lord. This was completed under the wise guidance of the great lord. Although it was only a semi-finished product, it was also quite powerful.'
I looked at it and it was just a twelve heavy machine gun. What kind of serial water truck cannons can really be called. However, this thing is more bulky and looks like a full 100 kilograms. The gun is not so heavy. If it can really be used for series firing for defense, it would be a first-class weapon. It seems that it is still a long time to expect a person to charge with a machine gun.
The technical supervisor asked the two servants to set up a few wooden targets a hundred steps away, and then quickly loaded the belt with the help of his assistant, "Dadadadadadadadada..." The technical supervisor shook the handle at a constant speed, and in less than a minute, he fired a hundred bullets, and made the target a hundred steps away and the two servants who had not had time to retreat into honeycombs. The technical supervisor loosened the shaker and said lightly, "They can know too much."
‘Yeah, I think so too.’ I nodded in agreement, ‘Those two people are disgusting, one is not a good person…but isn’t this serial water truck cannon very useful? How can it be said to be a semi-finished product?’ In my opinion, it is good to be able to achieve this level by the world’s number one heavy machine gun. Its firing rate is two hundred times that of smoothbore grenades in this world, and its range is twice that of smoothbore grenades. This is already a big breakthrough.
The technical supervisor explained, 'Lord, the problem is here. After firing a hundred bullets, the barrel will be temporarily scrapped and it will take two hours to use it again. If you use forced cooling the barrel with cold water, the gun body will crack. This is not a real iron cannon that can be fired continuously. We are still studying the improvement method...'
‘What an idiot, use cold. It would be strange if the low-quality steel pipe with a temperature of hundreds of degrees of water is not deformed and cracked. Wouldn’t you think of a way to keep its temperature at a controllable temperature forever?’ Forget it, it’s too deep, and I don’t understand if I tell you. Add a coat to each barrel, and these sleeves should be connected to each other and fill it with water. In the future, this will not be called a serial water truck cannon. It will be called a Type 70 water-cooled machine cannon. It will be tried and made into a line and work overtime to produce it.’ Although Japan is already peaceful now, the market has little demand for new firearms, the Ming Kingdom, which is across the sea, will definitely need a lot. The Ming Kingdom is surrounded by enemies, the southwest is the barbarians, the southeast is the Japanese pirates, the northwest is Mongolia, and the northeast is the Jiannu Jushi tribe. There are also Huihui and White Lotus Sects on the local area. This heavy machine cannon is a powerful weapon to defend the city and can definitely be sold for a lot of money.
As the technical supervisor sat down one by one, Princess Huishun, the eldest daughter of Oeongjun sold by Maeda Kyoji, walked and said, "Master, there are guests outside for a long time, and said there is something urgent. "Princess Huishun is six sisters, and they were all sold to me as concubines by Maeda Kyoji. If you want to say that this Korean princess has a unique taste, it is good to eat too much rice, and occasionally eat some kimchi. After I was forced to occupy my body, the six sisters showed that the lady was gentle and skillful, and served me as comfortable as a god. If you want to say that this feudal idea is really great, the Three Obediences and Four Virtues are the virtues passed down from China for thousands of years, which are vividly reflected in these princesses. Modern women's thoughts are liberated, but they can't even make meals and bring too many children. They know how to play cards, surf the Internet, watch TV, make hair, and go shopping in the mall all day long. There is no trace of the country of etiquette.
‘Tsk, since I have been waiting for a long time, it means there is nothing urgent. Let him continue to wait, and I was a little hungry. Huishun, cook for me some food.’ These days, I have also been used to the life of kimchi on the dinner table. The Koreans cook differently from us. Whether they eat or not, they have to make a large table of cold dishes mainly made of raw, cold and spicy dishes, and then there is only a little bit of each cold dish in each small plate.
‘Yes, master.’ shy Huishun bowed and said, ‘But the person who came claimed to be the Minister of the Taizheng, and seemed to be a very high official position.’
It is indeed high enough. There are only three official titles in the first rank of Japan, and there is still one Guan Bai empty. The power of this position is somewhat repeated with the Minister of the Taizheng, so the court has no Guan Bai after the Taizheng Secretary is appointed. The remaining one is the General of the Congyi Yi, but now the Ashikaga family cannot control any real power and has almost zero leadership over daimyos in various places. They can only rely on the Oda family's rest, and occasionally sell the characters Yi or Hui in the name to make some extra money.
'Then I'll go and meet him. I still have to give this face.' When I heard that it was Oda Nobuta, I changed my mind. Although the power of Oda Nobuta, who is already a Masashimi, is not much greater than that of Nijo Castle, the potential is much stronger than that of Ashikaga Yoshiki. Oda Nobuta will sooner or later inherit the Oda family's family business and dominate the world. Now Oda Nobuta can only burn incense and ask the Buddha to bless the Supreme Emperor Oda Nobunaga to die soon. In addition, finding a yellow paper person with Oda Nobunaga's birth date is good to beat it with wooden clogs or stitch it with sewing needles.
‘The Oda family's martial arts fortune lasts for a long time, and His Highness, the Minister of the Taizheng, Kim An, longevity."
Nobuta Oda helped me up, "You are polite uncle, you are all your family. This time, Nobuta has asked for my uncle."
Since it's a family that doesn't speak two families, I'm not polite, 'If you borrow money, your uncle will have more. Even if you speak.' I know why Oda Nobuta came, but I deliberately didn't talk about the topic.
‘Cough cough.’ Nobuta Oda coughed twice and wanted to act like a big shot, but he didn’t learn it like that. ‘My uncle was joking. The Oda family is not short of money now. It’s just that the problem of North Korea is too resentful in China. I’m afraid that if one of them is not handled properly, it will be a huge amount of money.’
'This is easy, so if you can't fight, you should negotiate. Then let's talk with two people.'
'Uncle, you also know that these big names in China were all pro-war factions back then. Letting them go to peace talks would probably arouse disgust from Ming Dynasty. When your anti-war faction is the only one, you, and your uncle, is also a Chinese connection, so I want to ask my uncle to come out to preside over the peace talks on the Sino-Japanese and North Korean issue. It would be best if you can get some benefits in the negotiations. The more than 60,000 soldiers who died on the battlefield were not considered in vain. Even if you want to withdraw troops, you must ensure the safety of the remaining soldiers.'
'Negotiation, I'm the best at this.' Although I have never talked about it once, I have fought the world by relying on violence, but I especially like the intrigue lifestyle at the negotiating table, which is the lifestyle of big capitalists and politicians. The words of two foreigners will determine the fate of life and death of another country. What a desirable thing. 'Don't worry, this matter will be left to me. I also need a deputy envoy. I think His Highness Akechi Mitsuhide is fine, but my position in the court is just a pick-up girl, which seems to be a little lower. I'm afraid
I am afraid that the other party will look down on him. Let me pay this, and His Highness the Minister of the Taizheng will help me move in the court as soon as possible to buy a second- and third-rank official position, which is easier to talk about.'Cainu Zheng is just an official position under the sixth position of the court, which is equivalent to a magistrate in a government office in Ming Dynasty. This identity is too far from the other party, and there is no need to talk about it. Only when the strength is similar will everyone choose peace talks, otherwise the Volunteer Army and United ** would not have been killed or injured in that year, hundreds of thousands of people found that no one could defeat anyone and then began to sit down to negotiate.
Oda Nobuta, who was prepared, took out a letter of appointment, "Uncle, you have already prepared it. You are still satisfied with the position of Left Minister. This time, North Korea can fully represent the Emperor, General and Minister of Taizong to negotiate with Ming Dynasty."
After taking the letter of appointment, I sighed and said, "This time the court's efficiency is really amazing. It must have cost a lot of money."
‘Where, I really didn’t spend money this time. This time, the Ming Dynasty sent troops to the North Korean East and West Army to be defeated, and the government and the country were shocked. The ministers and emperors were afraid that the Ming army would come, so I quickly got it done as soon as I mentioned this. I didn’t spend a penny.’
It seems that the officials and ministers in Kyoto are still afraid of death as always. This is also a good thing. Those who are afraid of death will not cause too much trouble for themselves. ‘Ah, since they are all ready, then we can board the ship when the deputy envoy Akichi Mitsuhide comes down.’
‘Then I’ll ask my uncle to all this to cause trouble for him.’ Nobuta Oda formally thanked him on the tatami and said, ‘But, His Highness and I have one more thing in our hearts to ask my uncle.’
‘If you want to ask, ask. You said that everyone is a family, and I won’t hide it.’
Nobuchad Oda sorted out his thoughts, then lowered his figure and knelt on the tatami and asked sincerely, "The Japanese have a large population and a small land. After the years of war, the population will sooner or later expand. However, after the failure of the Western Expedition to Korea, we also saw the strength of the Ming Kingdom. However, with a large population, we always have to transport it out, otherwise there will be chaos in the country. His Highness also said that he has not been many years old and wants his uncle to give me some advice on what Japan or the Oda family should do in the future."
‘This is a matter, wait a moment’ I went back to the inner room, picked up a long box, and then came back, and found a larger place on the tatami to spread the world map. ‘Look at this, this is the world map drawn by the Southern Barbarians. I copied it and changed it to Chinese characters. His Highness Xinzhong should be able to see it clearly.’ This is not the kind of map used by the Southern Barbarians to blind the Celestial Empire to paint the Celestial Empire in the middle of the world, but a real world map. There is no Antarctic yet, which is not unusual, and the others also look decent, roughly depicting the intuitive appearance of the world.
‘I understand Chinese characters.’ Nobuta Oda searched for a while, and finally found Japan. He asked in surprise, ‘There is only such a little bit of Japan. Did you draw it wrong?’
It's not just a little bit. In fact, the British are so perverted. They are not as big as Japan, and they are divided into four countries: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. However, compared with that, Japan is more abnormal. The country with a slightly larger population is divided into sixty-six countries and everyone fights. The problem is that it is not only these sixty-six countries that have started fighting, but I don't know how many small countries have been divided into continue fighting. Even in order to cultivate the fighting spirit, I have never seen such practice.
‘Yes, just a little bit. This is the Ming Dynasty, this is the North Korea. This is the Southern Barbarian Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, England...’ I pointed out the countries on the map one by one to Oda Nobuta. In fact, there are more countries in Europe, Asia, and Japan, and Oda Nobuta has seen too many, and it becomes accustomed to it.
Nobuta Oda knew some rules for drawing maps, "Uncle, this map is also drawn from the top, north, south, south, west, right and east."
‘Yes, what’s wrong?’
‘Then why the southern barbarian countries on the map are in our north.’
‘This. Our extreme north sea is full of icebergs. The ships cannot pass. So the southern barbarians can only go around and come from the southern sea. When we see that their ships come from the south, we think they live in the south of Japan, with red hair and blue eyes and scary eyes, so we call them the southern barbarians. In fact, it is almost the same as Westerners. Meng Huo and the others in the Three Kingdoms are the southern barbarians.’ This is a misunderstanding in history, which is a habitual name. Even if everyone calls it that wrong, it doesn’t matter. ‘Look here, this is
The New World in the South, further east, is the real New World. There are only some indigenous people living on it, and there are no real countries. Moreover, both land and resources are dozens and hundreds of times that of Japan. The world is very big and large, and there are countless fertile soil and treasures waiting for later generations to find it. There is no need to stare at the Ming Dynasty of Korea and not let go. So, you understand.’ In fact, if it weren’t for the great loss, these Japanese pirates would still want to go closer. However, with the rapid development of navigation technology, it would not take long to go to the New World.
It’s not long before Europe will start to emigrate on a large scale in the New World. In the later stage, whether it is a political prisoner, a thief, a robber, a pagan, they were all sent to the New World to find the legendary country of gold, and have made some warlike little Japanese in advance to let them slowly fight. On the contrary, the Chinese emperor was not interested in land that was too far away, otherwise he could consider bringing the Ming Kingdom together to do colonization and development through this negotiation. In fact, in history, the gold and silver prices here were too cheap. Although there was no legendary gold brick paving or other things, a ship from the Southern Barbarians made dozens of times more profitable than playing. However, now European merchant ships coming to Asia still have to go to the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, which is also called Storm Point, and the ships passing there are also huge losses. However, as long as one ship of cargo returns to Europe, it is considered a profit.
‘Hey. Nobuta has been taught.’ Nobuta Oda kowtow again thanked, ‘Can my uncle ask me to copy this map?’ This thing is a good thing for Nobuta Oda and those daimyos who have never seen the world. Since there are weak and rich resources, why don’t you grab it? Although it is a little farther than Mingguo, looking at the map, it is only a few steps away.
‘It’s just a piece of paper. It’s nothing to give it to you.’ This is indeed not a high-resolution military map, it’s a real good thing. After I have an impression of this simple world map in my mind, I can draw more than a dozen pictures a day. Moreover, the current map is still different from the maps I have seen before. In other words, the map is now drawn. After all, there are still differences in the world maps made up of hand-drawn charts without satellites. In the later generations, there are still many differences in the streets of this thing.
