Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 230 I prefer to believe Yang Xian than logic

At this time, there were almost no firearms in Japan.

Not counting those who often go out to sea to be pirates, many of them in Japan don't even know the existence of firearms.

Although the Yuan Dynasty and Yuan Shizu launched two wars of invasion of Japan before, due to natural disasters and typhoons, the Mongols did not set foot on Japanese soil, so they did not bring the seeds of firearms there. In addition, firearms during that period were extremely limited in both power and range.

In the original time and space, the Japanese had to wait until the victory of Wanghaiguo in the [-]th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty to truly experience the power of firearms. For a long time after that, Japanese pirates were often attacked by firecrackers.

For the first time, they knew that there were such powerful weapons in the world. The Japanese also gradually understood the power and importance of firearms. Only then did they begin to purposefully learn the production methods of Chinese firearms.

Of course, the real rapid development of Japanese firearms had to wait until more than 200 years later, when a Portuguese merchant ship was blown by a typhoon to Tanegashima, south of Satsuma, Kyushu.

The story of Japan’s “iron cannon coming” also begins.

In the middle and late Warring States Period, one of the most powerful daimyo, Takeda Shingen, known as the Tiger of Kai, had an elite musketeer unit under his command.

Therefore, in the eyes of Yamana Tokishi and others, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty raised a strange long weapon. They were stunned for a moment, and before they could react, they heard intensive gunshots!

They have never heard this kind of sound!

Their minds were still thinking about what this thing was, but the fatal bullets had already been fired.

Puff puff!

The bullets hit their bodies with muffled sounds.

The Japanese samurai in front of Yamana Tokiji fell down one by one.

The lucky ones were killed on the spot with one blow, but the unlucky ones were seriously injured and lay on the ground, letting out heart-rending wails.

What awaits them is still death.

Fortunately, he didn't hit the vital point, which is nothing more than suffering a little more before death.

After a round of intensive shooting, Xu Da’s order was not needed at all. The Ming soldiers standing in the first row took the initiative to retreat. The musketeers in the second row took a step forward and raised the Hongwu rifle in their hands. The whole process was completed. Everyone is in perfect harmony.

Immediately afterwards, there was another volley.

Two volleys came down, and most of the nearly a thousand Japanese samurai were dead.

How can this be? !

But in the blink of an eye, hundreds of his heroic Japanese samurai died in one fell swoop? !

Yamana Tokishi was dumbfounded!

What kind of fighting power is this!

How come these Ming armies in front of us are completely different from those in the rumors!

Why did the Ming Dynasty have such a powerful team and allow those down-and-out rogues to keep invading and plundering their southeastern coastal areas.

And are they using the rumored firearms? But the power is really terrifying! Are firearms really so powerful? !

Yamana Tokishi stared in disbelief at the rifle raised in the hand of the Daming sergeant opposite. His eyes trembled and his whole body began to tremble. This was the fear coming from his heart.

The firearm firepower of the Ming soldiers on the opposite side was so fierce that if this continued, their men would not be able to rush to the opposite side, and the entire army would be annihilated.

At this time, their proud sword skills and bushido spirit had no effect at all.

puff!

At this moment, a bullet hit Yamana Tokiji directly in the left shoulder.

Yamana Toki's body staggered and fell backward. The severe pain finally made him wake up from the so-called dignity of Bushido.

It's more important to live with nothing.

"Retreat! Retreat! Let's retreat!"

With this cry of retreat, the Japanese soldiers of Izumo Country finally breathed their last breath away.

The few hundred people left fled like crazy.

They have realized that these Ming soldiers in front of them are not at the same level as them.

The only way to stay is to die.

But the man standing opposite them was the Military God of the Ming Dynasty. Xu Da personally led the team to conquer Japan. To be honest, it was a bit overkill.

It was impossible for Xu Da to let these Japanese soldiers escape.

No matter how fast they escape, can they escape faster than bullets?

And just in case, Xu Da had already arranged for another team to take a detour and guard their escape route.

"Don't let anyone go!" Xu Da shouted loudly.

The general spoke, and all his soldiers took the lead bravely.

These Japanese soldiers failed to escape after all.

As Yamana Tokiji was shot in the forehead and fell to the ground, completely cut off from life, all Japanese soldiers and samurai in Izumo Kingdom were killed.

Chang Yuchun and Xu Da are the two most powerful generals under Zhu Yuanzhang.

Chang Yuchun is known as the head harvester and likes to kill people and massacre the city.

Xu Da's army was calm and disciplined, not as bloodthirsty as Chang Yuchun, but this only targeted unarmed civilians and surrendered prisoners. His ruthlessness towards the enemy was even worse than Chang Yuchun's.

The Yuan army once saw the banner with the character "Xu" and was frightened.

Now facing these Japanese pirates who have been invading and plundering the southeastern coast of Ming Dynasty all year round, Xu Da will naturally not show mercy.

Izumo Kingdom was soon controlled by the Ming Dynasty sergeants.

Xu Da did not make things difficult for civilians.

There are not many kills in the city. What's the use of just getting the land without the people?

Xu Da has a far-sighted vision. In his eyes, every inch of land here will be the land of the Ming Dynasty.

What good would it be if we only got the city without the people?

Nowadays, the population of the Ming Dynasty is not large. It is unrealistic to kill all the people in Japan and move the people of the Ming Dynasty over.

Xu Da found a local Japanese who knew Chinese and asked about the location of Iwami Ginzan.

Whether it's the world map or the silver mines in Izumo Country, it's all information provided by Yang Xian to Zhu Yuanzhang and the others.

Therefore, before setting off for this expedition, Xu Da went to Yangzhou in advance to ask for all information about the silver mines.

Yang Xian naturally told everything he knew.

After some inquiring, Xu Da learned that the information he received was different from that provided by Yang Xian. According to the local people in Izumo Country, there was indeed a silver mine on Ishimi Gin Mountain, and there were mining records decades ago. Silver mines did not produce much.

According to the Japanese native, if there really is a silver mine with such a huge output as Xu Da said, then it is impossible for the Yamana family to defend this place.

The more powerful daimyo in the surroundings have long come to compete for the ownership of Iwami Ginzan.

I have to say that this Japanese native’s statement is very logical.

But compared to logic, Xu Da was more willing to believe Yang Xian.

Because in his opinion, Yang Xian is the most unreasonable being in the world.

He said that if there is a silver mine on the Yinshan Mountain, there must be a silver mine.

"Take us to Ishimi Yinshan to have a look." Xu Da said.
