Warring States Eagle

Chapter 555 Extreme Weather Outbreak

Under Zheng Liang's repeated instigation, Zhu Qinfeng once again embarked on a journey of traveling around the Warring States with the ambition to earn back the gold he earned less.

History cannot be stopped. Even if Zhu Qinfeng does not sell guns, the southern barbarians from other regions will sell them. Instead of doing everything possible to stop them, it is better to speed up their own development. So after watching Zhu Qinfeng's ship go away, Zheng Liang saw To the craftsman Prussia standing behind him at this time.

"Then Prussia, can you tell me what you have done before?" Because in the process of coming to the Luo family's territory by boat, Prussia had already learned some local knowledge from some crew members on Zhu Qinfeng's ship in order to get hired by Zheng Liang. language, so now Prussia is barely able to communicate with Zhengliang in the local language.

"My lord, I am an excellent sailor. I have served as the second officer of a merchant ship before, and I have also served as a gunner. I can fire and shoot at any time by myself. I am competent at all of these." Prussia immediately said replied in broken language.

"What? Aren't you a cannon craftsman?" Zheng Liang originally wanted to learn about Prussia's experience in casting cannons, but after listening to Prussia's self-introduction, he suddenly felt cheated.Depend on?Could it be that there was another reason for Zhu Qinfeng to run so fast? [

"Cannon? My lord, are you talking about cannons?" Prussia asked suspiciously.

"Yes, it's a cannon, can you cast it?" Zheng Liang asked immediately.He almost forgot that at this time the West already had cannons.

Speaking of the history of the development of artillery.Since the introduction of Chinese gunpowder and firearms to the West, artillery began to develop in the West. A wide variety of heavy artillery appeared in the 14th century, but they were generally extremely inaccurate and had extremely low muzzle velocity.Around 1450 AD, iron was used instead of stone in the West, which increased the power of cannons.During this period, the Ottoman Sultan Mehmet II even used artillery to capture Constantinople, which had stood for thousands of years.By the 16th century, Westerners began to call cannons with longer barrels.The barrel length is generally 16 to 22 times the caliber.Zhengliang estimated that the cannon that Prussia referred to was this kind.

"Dear lord, although I used to forge cannons with my uncle, but due to livelihood reasons, I returned home, so I haven't participated in casting for a long time, and I have never cast cannons alone." Prussia was a little humble Said.

"Haha, it's fine if you know how to cast it. You can try it slowly, as long as you can cast it in the end." Zheng Liang said immediately.

Therefore, Zheng Liang quickly brought Prussia back to Kishigake City, and then found Ander, Chujiro, Liu Ye, and Kuniyou Shanhei.These few people are almost the main persons in charge of the artisan workshop in the territory of the Luo family.After solemnly introducing Prussia to everyone, Zheng Liang asked them to study on their own, and Zheng Liang only gave one request.It is necessary to cast the first cannon for him within a year.

After dealing with these things, it was already the end of June in a blink of an eye.At this time, the situation in Kyushu has undergone many changes.

First of all, Otomo's family. After receiving threats from Zhengliang's letter and several sneak attacks by the Luo family's cavalry, the Otomo family's army in Feihou finally withdrew from the periphery of Nimufu City. The army continued to camp at the border of the Luo family, making a gesture of being ready to invade the Luo family's territory at any time.As for the other army of Chikugo from Otomo's house.After being severely beaten by Kinoshita Masunao and Yoshida Shigemasa, they obediently withdrew to Bungo.Perhaps Otomo Yoshikami also realized that in Chikugo, as long as the Luo family sticks to the border walled city, he is absolutely helpless on this side of the Luo family's territory.

On the Ouchi side.Ouchi Yoshitaka's son was born in May, named Ouchi Yoshitaka.Now that Yoshitaka Ouchi was born, there was nothing to do with Yoshinaga Ouchi, so Yoshinaga Ouchi was sent back to Otomo's house again.This incident almost caused Otomo Yoshikam to send troops to the Ouchi family.If he hadn't been confronting Luo's family at this time, he would have really done it.It's just that Otomo Yoshikami's series of unwise actions during this period have gradually dissatisfied all the retainers in the family.

In addition, since Nagyui Sagara, who has always been friends with the Ouchi family, was placed under house arrest by the Luo family, the Ouchi family had sent two groups of envoys here before, hoping that the Luo family could release Nagao Sagara.Zhengliang did not give a clear reply to this matter.Nagai Sagara played an important role in Masara's next plan.Therefore, Zhengliang will not release Sagara Nagyui in the short term.

As for the Higo clan, after several months of fierce fighting, the Sagara family's army had to give up the siege of Kenshida Castle of the Omiya Shi family due to the pressure of spring farming in the territory.However, during the retreat, he was chased by the army of the Omiya Si family in the city, and was finally defeated.

However, the chasing Omiya Shi family was caught off guard by the Iszukoshi army who gave up the Funakoshi Castle of the Kai family and suddenly rushed out, and even Kenshida Castle was captured by the Ichimune.Honganji Shangyi finally got a walled city of his own.Another Ishiyama Castle is about to appear in Higo.

As for the Nawa family, the Kikuchi family, the Omiya Shi family, and even the Kakoki family and the Koshi family who joined later, these families confronted each other over the Daoshang Castle in Xiayicheng County and the newly discovered silver mine near the Daoshang Castle. Still no winner yet.

Of course, there was also an interesting rumor from the Omiya Shi family during the period.That is, Aso Weifeng, who is the successor of the family governor, will be grounded by Aso Weifeng who got up from the hospital bed because of Kai's direct disappearance.

It can be said that Asu Weifeng lived life and death with Kai Kinzhi, and the reason why the Aso family has today's power is inseparable from the credit of Kai Kinzhi. After negligently disappearing, he jumped up directly from the hospital bed, scolded General Asuwei severely, and afterwards not only grounded General Asuwei, but even deprived General Asuwei of all his powers.This led to a discord between the two fathers and sons.

"It seems that the dark game arranged by Feihou should have started." Zheng Liang said to himself.

But when Zhengliang was about to implement his next plan, the weather suddenly became weird.

First, there were several heavy rains in a row, and then a typhoon swept across the coast of Kyushu.After the typhoon passed, there was a hailstorm.

My God, it turned out that there was hail in late spring and early summer, which is unbelievable like frost in June. [

The sudden strange weather caught everyone by surprise.The worst thing was the army of Otomo's family in Higo. It is said that after several consecutive heavy rains, they had to prepare to retreat to Bungo, but encountered a flash flood on the way home.As a result, they were tragic.It is said that less than 500 people finally escaped back to Bungo, and the remaining [-] people do not know whether they were submerged in the torrent or washed there.
