Chapter 555 Extreme Weather Sudden
Under Zhengliang's repeated instigation, Zhu Qinfeng once again embarked on a journey around the Warring States Period with the ambition to earn back the less gold he earned.
History cannot be stopped. Even if Zhu Qinfeng does not sell muskets, the southern barbarians from other regions will sell them. Instead of trying to stop them in front of them, it is better to speed up their own development. So after watching Zhu Qinfeng's ship go away, Zhengliang looked at Prussia, the craftsman standing behind him at this time.
"So Prussia, can you tell me what you have done before?" Because when I was taking a boat to the Roh Family territory, in order to get Zhengliang's employment, Prussia had learned some local languages from some crew members on Zhu Qinfeng's ship, so now Prussia can barely communicate with Zhengliang in the local language.
"Dear Lord, I am a seaman. I have served as the second mate of a merchant ship before, and I have also served as the gunner. I can fire and fire the guns myself at any time, aiming at the target. I can do all of these." Prussia immediately replied in a bad language.
"What? Are you not an artillery craftsman?" Masayora wanted to learn about Prussia's experience in casting artillery, but after listening to Prussia's self-introduction, he suddenly felt deceived. Damn? Is there another reason why Zhu Qinfeng ran so fast?
"Architecture? Dear Lord, are you talking about cannons?" Prussia asked in confusion.
"Yes, it's just a cannon. Can you cast it?" Zhengliang asked immediately. He almost forgot that there were cannons in the West at this time.
Speaking of the history of artillery development, artillery began to develop in the West since China's gunpowder and firearms spread to the west. A wide variety of heavy artillery appeared in the 14th century, but the accuracy was generally extremely poor and the initial speed was extremely low. Around 1450 AD, iron bombs were used in the West to replace stone bombs, which increased the power of the shells. During this period, Ottoman Sultan Mohammed II even used artillery to capture Constantinople, which had been standing for thousands of years. By the 16th century, Westerners began to call the cannons with long tubes. The length of the tubes was generally 16 to 22 times the caliber. Zhengliang estimated that this was the cannon mentioned in Prussia.
"Dear Lord, although I had cast cannons with my uncle before, I returned home due to my livelihood, so I had not participated in casting for a long time, and I had never cast cannons alone." Prussia said a little modestly.
"Haha, you can just be able to cast it. You can try it slowly, as long as you can cast it in the end." Zhengliang said immediately.
So Masara quickly took Prussia back to Kishiyu Castle, and then found Ander, Tadajiro, Liu Ye, and Guojiawei. These people were almost the main person in charge of the craftsman workshop in the Luo family's territory. After solemnly introducing Prussia to everyone, Masarara asked them to go down and study it on their own. Masarara only gave one requirement. It was to make sure to cast the first cannon for him within one year.
After dealing with these matters, it was already the end of June. At this time, the situation in Jiuzhou had undergone a lot of changes.
First of all, the Otomo family, after receiving the threat of Masara's letters and the multiple sneak attacks from the Luo family's cavalry team, the Otomo family's army in Hirago finally evacuated the periphery of Jufucheng. However, Yoshiki Yoshikiya seemed to be unwilling to give up and actually asked the army to continue camping at the border of the Luo family, making a stance to invade the Luo family's territory at any time. As for the other army of the Otomo family, the army of the Kinoshita Masaru and Yoshida Shigemasa obediently retreated to the Toyoho. Perhaps Yoshikiya Yoshikiya also realized that as long as the Luo family guarded the fortress on the border, he would definitely have no choice but to do anything about this part of the Luo family's territory.
In terms of the Ouchi family, Yoshitaka Ouchi's legitimate son was born in May and named Ouchi Yoshitaka. Since Yoshitaka Ouchi was born, there was naturally no such thing as the one who was Guzi Ouchi Yoshitaka, so Yoshitaka Ouchi was sent back to the Ouchi family again. This incident almost caused Yoshitaka Ouchi to send troops to the Ouchi family. If he hadn't been confronting the Luo family at this time, he would have really done it. It's just that Yoshitaka Ouchi's series of unwise actions during this period have gradually made the retainers in the family dissatisfied.
In addition, since Xiang Liangchang Wei, who has always been intimate with the Da Nei family, was under house arrest by the Luo family, the Da Nei family had sent two groups of envoys to come, hoping that the Luo family could release Xiang Liangchang Wei. Zhengliang did not give a clear reply to this matter. Xiang Liangchang Wei plays an important role in Zhengliang's next plan. Therefore, Zhengliang will not release Xiang Liangchang Wei in the short term.
After months of fierce fighting, the powerful families of the Sagami family had to give up the siege of Kenshida Castle of the Omiya family after several months of fierce fighting, and was forced to give up the siege of the Omiya Si family under the pressure of farming in the territory. However, when they retreated, they were pursued by the Omiya Si family's army in the city and were eventually defeated.
However, the pursuit of Omiya Shi family was caught off guard by abandoning the Kafei family's Shipiao Castle and suddenly attacking Yixiangzong's army. Even Kenshida Castle was captured by Yixiangzong. Sumiya Sumiya Sumi finally got a fortress of his own. Another Shishan Castle was about to appear in Feihou.
As for the Minghe family, the Kikuchi family, the Omiya Si family, and even the Luzimu family and the Hezhi family that they later joined, these families confronted each other for the newly discovered silver mines near the Dao Shangcheng in Xiayicheng County, and the winner was still not decided yet.
Of course, an interesting rumor broke out from the Omiya Si family during this period. That is, Asu Wei, the heir to the family governor, was confined to Asu Weifeng, who got up from the hospital bed because of Jia Fei's disappearance.
Asu Weifeng can be said to have lived and died with Jia Fei. Moreover, the reason why the Asu family has the power of the present is inseparable from Jia Fei's contribution. After suddenly learning that Jia Fei's disappearance due to Asu Wei's fault, he jumped up from the hospital bed and scolded Asu Wei's fiercely. Afterwards, not only did he confine Asu Wei's foothold, but he even deprived Asu Wei's general of all his powers. This caused a disagreement between the two fathers and sons.
"It seems that the secret chess that was arranged by the fat back should be activated." Zhengliang said to himself.
But just as Zhengliang was about to implement his next plan, the weather suddenly became weird.
First, several heavy rains came in succession, followed by a typhoon that swept the coast of Kyushu. After the typhoon passed, a hail fell.
Oh my God, it turned out to be hail in late chun and early summer, which was incredible like flying frost in June.
