Lord Moyu was forced to open

The Japanese country is not big, but it is not small either.

The mission traveled for another two or three days before arriving at the highest government office where the Song Dynasty garrison was stationed here.

The capital of Japan.

Shortly after Zhao Jun ascended the throne, he successively established the Shendu Governor's Mansion, the Yunzhou County Governor's Mansion, and the Japanese Governor's Mansion.

It is used to control the six counties of Shendu, the Tatar tribe of Yunzhou grassland and the Japanese garrison, etc.

Compared with Yunzhou Dudufu and Shendu, the Japanese Dudufu is like a collection of mining and suppressing rebellions.

The most important tasks of the Japanese Governor's Office were these two.

The mining of the Iwami Silver Mine and various small gold mines and the suppression of the rebellious Japanese people were the most basic figures of the Japanese Governor's Office.

So as soon as you enter Shiqiang, you can clearly notice the difference from other places.

The first is the intensity of control.

The troops stationed in other places are only there to maintain order. As long as you civilians don't cause trouble, they will not care about you.

But after seeing this area in Shi, troops standing guard could be seen everywhere.

Those pairs of eyes stared at everyone, and they had to report wherever they wanted to go. Otherwise you will be stopped.

In this tense atmosphere, the mission arrived at the Japanese Governor's Mansion.

The person who came to meet them was naturally Li Erniu, the governor of Japan!

That's right, the original commander of the First Army of the Yunzhou Army is now the governor of the same region. At the same time, they were the ones who took the lead in conquering the Japanese state. It is logical that the general Li Erniu became the chief governor of the Japanese state. .

"Hahaha, Ambassador Wang, long time no see! Please come in quickly! Please come in quickly!"

As soon as Li Erniu came out, he burst into hearty laughter. He smiled and came up and hugged Wang Cezhi hard!
Wang Cezhi rolled his eyes when he was hugged by this guy. He quickly broke away and cursed: "You guy, you are a military commander, but I am just a civil servant. How can I withstand such a hug from you?"

Li Erniu scratched his head, smiled and apologized quickly.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm so excited. Mr. Wang, you don't even know that I've been guarding this place for seven years. When I see you, an acquaintance, I'm not just excited. I can't hold it back." Hey hey hey, don’t be offended, don’t be offended…”

Wang Cezhi rolled his eyes, not bothering to argue with this black guy, and asked:
"How is the preparation for the envoy His Majesty asked you to prepare?"

Li Erniu immediately patted his chest and said with a snap: "Don't worry, Mr. Wang. Your Majesty's decree will be carried out by me, Li Tie, as soon as possible. Three hundred full sets of armored soldiers have been prepared, and they will protect you." With you, you can go to the Japanese Imperial Palace without any worries.

In addition, after you set off, I will immediately mobilize 50,000 people to attack them. The Japanese will surely be scared to death and dare not act recklessly! "

Wang Cezhi nodded after hearing this. Then he said: "Now that we are ready, let's set off after a day's rest.

Your Majesty's decree cannot be delayed. If it is completed one day earlier, we can deliver the mission earlier. "

Li Erniu heard this but said helplessly: "Are you in such a hurry? How many more days will Mr. Wang stay here without me?"

Wang Cezhi shook his head and refused: "You can come back to bother General Li after the mission is completed."

"Okay! It's a deal!"

A smile appeared on Li Erniu's face, but Wang Cezhi was stunned, then laughed and shook his head.

The next day.

The mission set off directly early in the morning and headed towards Kyoto, the Japanese capital.

The news that a mission was sent to Kyoto had already reached Japan.

At this time, as soon as the Japanese nation received the news that the angel had entered the country, everyone immediately became nervous.

In the Japanese court hall.

The Emperor of Japan sat in his seat and looked expressionlessly at the heated discussion among the ministers below.

He didn't care what they were saying because he understood that he was just a puppet and his own opinions didn't matter.

They just need to sit in this position, and everything else will be decided by Takeru Sato.

At this moment, Sato Ken said to the ministers:
"The Song Dynasty sent a delegation here to question the soldiers who were assassinated, and they want us to give an explanation. What do you want to say? Or do you have any opinions?"

After all the ministers looked at each other for a moment, Takeru Sato looked directly at Taizheng Minister Yamamoto Yohji and asked: "What did Taizheng say?"

In the Japanese state, the ministers of Taizheng were generally at the top of officials, equivalent to the prime minister position in the Song Dynasty.

However, when facing the regent Guan Bai, Sato Takeru, the Taizheng minister could only stay humble and petty.

Seeing himself being questioned, Yamamoto Yohji had no choice but to say: "The Song people meant to question us, but in fact they aimed to beat us. More importantly, I'm afraid what they really want to know is where our firearms come from?"

As soon as Yamamoto Yohji said these words, the court fell silent instantly.

Everyone knows that firearms are the weapons that the Song people rely on most. The terrifying cannons and continuous projectiles are so powerful that even the bravest warriors in Japan are no better than ants in the face of such weapons.

It is precisely because of this that the Japanese country has been trying to find ways to obtain the Song people's firearm making methods.

Only by obtaining the method of making firearms could the Japanese have a chance to drive the Song people out of the Japanese.

But dreams are beautiful, but reality is cruel.

The people of the Song Dynasty had very strict control over firearms. Every firearm, even if it was scrapped, would be melted again without revealing any trace of its structure.

The Japanese country tried to bribe them with large sums of money, but it was of no use. Instead, the people they tried to bribe got involved.

I also tried to steal one through assassination.

But as long as a firearm is lost, those Song people will become crazy!

Blockade the entire city directly!

He will not give up until the lost firearm is found. Even the person who stole the firearm and those who may know him will be ruthlessly killed by the Song people!
Under the almost perverted control of the Song Army, the Japanese side did not obtain a single firearm for nearly ten years.

He was always suppressed and beaten by the Song people.

It wasn't until the end of last year that the arrival of a group of red-haired fans brought a turn to the matter.

This group of red-haired fans claim to be from some country called Great Britain.

Originally they wanted to go to Nagasaki Port for trading, but they were driven away by the Japanese detachment of the East China Sea Fleet and were not allowed to log in at Nagasaki.

But seeing those Song people making a lot of money from shipping supplies, these red-haired fans were unwilling to do anything but watch.

After many inquiries, they made a long circle and took advantage of the East China Sea Fleet's patrol to log in at a small, secret port. Then they approached the Japanese country and sold them firearms!

That's right! It’s a firearm!
At first, the Japanese people were overjoyed, thinking that as long as they obtained the firearms and production methods, they could start imitating them, gradually increasing the power of the Japanese country, and eventually driving the Song people out of the Japanese territory.

But when they saw the firearms sold to them by Hong Mao Fan, they were instantly disappointed.

This is actually a kind of matchlock gun.

It's the kind of musket that has a bullet loaded in the front and can only fire one shot every three minutes.

But the Japanese country had seen the Song Dynasty's firearms. They could not only load the ammunition from the back, but also fire it by just pulling the trigger. They could shoot two to four shots in a minute. They were no match for this kind of gun. .

They also saw the artillery sold by Hongmao Fan. Although it was called artillery, it looked like an enlarged fire system.

Not only is loading troublesome, the shells are still made of iron and cannot explode like the Song people, and all kinds of firearms are completely inferior to the Song people.

But even though they are extremely disgusting, this kind of firearm is already much better than the original swords and spears of Japan.

So he purchased a batch of those spears and agreed to let them continue to transport them and sell them next year.

The Japanese began to imitate these weapons immediately after obtaining them. Originally, their intention was to secretly imitate them first, and then change their weapons on a large scale, at least to narrow the gap between them and the Song Dynasty.

After receiving the muskets from some radicals, they ran to sneak attack the Song army and assassinated several Song soldiers who were caught off guard. This directly attracted the attention of the Song people.

It even made the country of Japan miserable!
This bastard directly exposed the fact that the Japanese country had obtained firearms, which led to the Song people's mission.
