Beiyang new warlord

It can be seen from today's situation that the offensive and defensive momentum is different!

The eyes of the two met like sparks for a few seconds, and a smile appeared on Mao Jue's face again.

"Master Qingshan, please come with Mao, Mao invites you to watch something."

Chapter 242. I, Mao Jue, Send Money!

Although this is the second year of the war with Dongjiang, the shogunate really doesn't know about Dongjiang. They followed Mao Jue to the back of the barracks and watched the teams running around the playground, and the lieutenant general who was drinking violently. The training of falling to the ground, while walking, Aoyama Yukunari was fascinated by watching.

In particular, Mao Jue actually led him to the big killer weapon that the shogunate had always been afraid of, Dongjiang's cannon! Seeing that it was completely different from even the southern barbarian cannon, the three-meter-long cast iron cannon on the gun mount, Aoyama Xingcheng's eyes twitched Straight, seize all the time and want to remember it in your mind.

However, soon he lost his mind again.

"How is the adjustment?"

"Master Hui, all elements have been adjusted!"

There was such a thin man in the Dongjiang army surrounded by burly and strong men. Mao Jue muttered a plain language, but Yukunari Aoyama didn't understand it. Tokugawa Otenshu, who came out with a few holes, actually said to him with a smile.

"Master Qingshan! You, a craftsman, are too careless. You even installed the girder crookedly. Mao is not talented, so I'll adjust it for you!"

As he said that, Mao Jue nodded to the skinny man beside him, and Sun Chun immediately raised two flags, and before Aoyama Yukinari understood what was going on, the red flag suddenly waved down.

Boom~

The loud noise made the old man stagger, and then, in his panic and anger, the five fort Hongyi cannons that were brought over suddenly spit out anger, and immediately after that, Tokugawa Daitenshu directly turned into three fat men, The forehead was hit hard by five sticks.

The bricks and tiles fell down, and the roof of the castle tower collapsed. The distance is so far, but Yukunari Aoyama can still imagine how panic and chaos will be in the big palace, and the old face looks gloomy as if it is about to rain. The old guy was jumping on his feet and roaring angrily.

"General Mao, what are you doing?"

"Don't make things too extreme!"

Dangerous eyes shot out from the pupils, and the old guy stared at Mao Jue threateningly. Unfortunately, Mao Jue was just like a rascal. Shoot the shell box full of shells beside you.

"Your Excellency, you and I are still in the middle of a war, so what can we do even if Mao is absolutely dead?"

"you!"

"20 shi grains, 5 taels of gold, let's not talk about what they will be in the future, Mao will see these things tomorrow! And don't talk about the price! Of course, you can choose not to give them, but you can't see them. Once the gunner is angry, I will repair the house and cut the trees for you, but it may not be necessary!"

I have to admit that the city of Edo is not small. Although it is smaller than the capital, Nanjing, and still a rural area, it has caught up to the size of Hangzhou and Jinan. Outside the city, Mao Jue's red barbarian cannon really couldn't reach it, but when it came to this Tsukushima In fact, more than half of the huge Edo was under his artillery fire.

Just like the Yankees of the later generations, I just have air superiority. If I say to blow up your right side, I will never blow up your left side. Don’t you agree?Don't accept it!

The old man's face turned pale with anger, the old man was so angry that he couldn't speak, he simply waved his sleeves, turned around and left.

In the back, Mao Jue was still shouting with a smile at the top of his voice.

"Lord Qingshan, I'll be waiting to collect the money tomorrow morning!"

For the first time, in less than an hour, Qingshan Xingcheng came out of the small sedan chair, full of anger, he went straight to the Great Tenshou Pavilion, and entered the Royal Palace while the warrior servants on both sides greeted him.

But this time, the welcome he received was even warmer than last time. When he came in, not only the general Tokugawa Iemitsu stood up abruptly, but even his political opponent Masakatsu Inaba asked hurriedly.

"Master Qingshan, what happened to the cannonball attack just now?"

"Tang Kou launched it. He asked the shogunate for 20 shi of grain and 5 taels of gold. If he is responsible, he will blow up the big castle."

Feeling indignant, Aoyama Xingcheng replied casually. After saying this, he wanted to advocate to attack now and fight Dongjiang Maojue to the death. Who knows, before the words were spoken, Tokugawa Iemitsu actually asked hastily: "If the money and food are given, will the Tang thieves stop bombarding my castle tower?"

"General, you, do you really want to give it?"

Full of inconceivability, Aoyama Yukunari yelled angrily, and Tokugawa Iemitsu was stunned by the yelling, and the old Naka Inaba Masakatsu who was beside him immediately coughed heavily.

"Master Qingshan, pay attention, you are in front of the general!"

"The minister is guilty!"

Also came to his senses, Aoyama Xingcheng crawled down again, but he still kowtowed angrily.

"General, the decisive battle between our shogunate army and the Tang thieves is imminent, and the artillery fire has no eyes. How can we pay this useless money for the sake of temporary stability?"

"Master Aoyama's words are wrong! The Great Tenshou is a symbol of Ieyasu's meritorious deeds. It took ten years and wasted manpower and material resources to build a million stones. If it is destroyed under the fire of the Tang bandits, the Tang bandits will be wiped out. I, Tokugawa In the eyes of daimyo, where is the majesty?"

"If only 20 shi of rice and 5 taels of gold can be exchanged for Tang thieves not to bombard here, it is worth it!"

"What Inaba-sama said is right!"

"Master Inaba is the old man's words!"

To Qingshan Xingcheng's astonishment, after Inaba Masakatsu finished speaking, several people even on their side of the martial arts faction nodded along. In addition to being angry, this old guy could be regarded as sober, and he suddenly understood.

Mao Jue's trick is cunning!

Since his cannons can hit the big castle, and most of Edo Castle is within his attack range, then the bannermen, retainers, big bosses' houses, property, children, and servants are also under the threat of artillery fire.

Now it’s not like the 35 years ago when the Sekigahara War was fought. If you don’t count the Battle of Osaka, the world has been at peace for 35 years, and the war has lasted for more than 100 years. I also began to feel distressed about my own property.

I really want to yell, if Tokugawa Ieyasu is sitting here, who would dare to care about his own one-third of an acre of land?

But after all, it was a peaceful age, and the anger was burning in his chest. Looking at Tokugawa Iemitsu's concerned eyes, his words were finally swallowed by Aoyama Yukinari. He was also old and did not dare to risk offending most of the old middlemen , vassals, the danger of Banner, stick to it.

"Chen, go ask again!"

"Hurry up! Move them all over there! Put them away! This is high-quality rice, don't keep it away from moisture, if anyone makes a mistake, you will eat the moldy ones when you go home!"

Many Japanese people have been growing rice all their lives, and have never eaten a ton. Even when the Meiji Restoration came, they didn’t change much. The Japanese cooking fairy Murashima Moto of later generations was the one who advertised for the pain of the farmer’s three punches. Youku’s advertisements are full The old devil who jumped out, when he was young, he had participated in the devil's northeast colonial reclamation and planted fields for several years, but he had never eaten a bowl of rice.

The reason why he became a cooking fairy is because of this. When the devil retreated, he and other young people in the village cooked and ate the rice that should have been handed over to the military. The sweetness of a meal is something he will never forget in his life, and he has devoted himself to the study of cooking in this life, and only in his later years did he get the title of Immortal Cooking.

But such precious rice was carried to Hengtong Bridge in baskets without money, and then moved in again under the guns of the Ming army. There was shouting.

In the Huahua military tent yesterday, Mao Jue also became a money fanatic. The country of Wa was a large island formed by volcanic eruptions. The intense geological movement also brought rich mineral deposits. They used gold directly for many settlements. 5 Ten thousand taels of gold filled five big boxes. When he opened it, the golden light almost blinded his titanium alloy dog ​​eyes.

Not to mention Mao Jue, even Yu Leer, an official lady, has never seen so much gold in her life. She also turned into a lucky cat, and excitedly took a piece of gold, which is the biggest gold coin for Japanese people It's in my hand, I can't bear to let it go.

"Don't worry, Mao is a general of the Heavenly Kingdom after all. Even if you and I fight to the death, Mao will never fire another shell at the Great Sky Guard!"

From ear to ear, Mao Jue patted his chest righteously, jokingly, is he willing to blow up such a big blackmail target?Besides, if we really want to fight, the few shells left will of course be thrown into the pile of devils, where there are more people, and bomb those places that are irrelevant to the battle situation, crazy!

Obviously, Aoyama Xingcheng also understands that this is not a good thing for the shogunate. Regardless of who the shells fell on in the end, the samurai family began to be content with pleasure, liking wealth and admiring the life of officials. Was it defeated by this?The castle tower was originally the ultimate fortress prepared for war, but in the end it became the target of the enemy's kidnapping. What a shame?

Seeing Mao Jue dancing there, Aoyama Yukunari, who was gnashing his teeth, couldn't help growling and cursing in a low voice.

"General Mao, don't be too happy! The victory has not yet been decided. Are you really not thinking about your subordinates and your own name?"
