Chapter 455: The Eastern Japanese attack
"This Li Jize's train of thought is so strange, I am really inferior to him!"
After Bochijin figured out the key, he couldn't help but sigh. He didn't know whether this meant that his brain was not as good as Li Jize's, or that Li Jize's weird train of thought was not something that a normal person could think of.
What is there to say?
There is only a fine line between madness and genius!
The cognition of geniuses is above that of ordinary people. No matter how smart you are as an ordinary person, if your cognition does not change, how can you catch up with them?
Similarly! Li Jize came from another world, bringing with him five thousand years of history from that world, and arrived in this parallel time and space...
He knows so much more than the general public! His imagination is so natural and incredible.
for example……
How could he have thought of using firecrackers to develop firearms?
To people of this era, this is simply bizarre and the train of thought is too strange.
But people of the same era would certainly understand why he did this, as firearms in later generations would evolve into various sharp weapons.
Those who master firearms will be responsible for "rewarding good work", while those who do not master this thing should be versatile and hospitable.
Why doesn't Li Jize fight for land power now, but instead spends money crazily and wastes manpower and material resources to build a navy?
Because everyone with the same understanding knows that this era is the "Age of Exploration". If you don't have a strong navy, you are not qualified to join the "Colonial Club".
The Qi people had already lost this opportunity, and now they were left far behind...
Give it another one or two hundred years, and by the time these bandits have made their first fortune, they will begin to develop firearms on a large scale.
By the time……
If nothing unexpected happens, China, which is ruled by barbarians, will have its doors opened by these guys using cannons.
Then came the dumping of "longevity cream", and then all kinds of territorial and national humiliation!
In order to overtake on the curve, Li Jize can only focus on the navy now, trying to keep pace with the opponent and catch up.
The first places to be attacked and colonized are Goryeo and East Japan!
Goryeo had successfully completed this task because of Park Geuk-chang's support and the presence of the barbarians, so they had a common enemy.
The Koreans needed protection, so they wholeheartedly supported the Qin army's stationing in Korea.
But the Eastern Japanese are different. They have their own legitimate court and no external enemies around them.
He had no external enemies, so Li Jize found one for him! (Pirates) He had internal unity and a legitimate court, so Li Jize helped him split it up! (Feitian Domain)
The people of Eastern Japan are not stupid. You know, how can anyone who is involved in politics and can rule a country be stupid?
In order to deal with Qi Kou!
Since Li Jize bought the weapons at a high price and they really couldn't transport them back, the general simply changed his idea. He sent envoys directly to the barbarian territory in the north to request cooperation between the two sides.
Don’t even say it!
Bochijin had the same idea as Li Jize. He was willing to help anyone who wanted to pick a fight with Daqi.
Moreover, he had already guessed that these pirates were probably sent out by Qingzhou?
Li Jize had no money to build warships, so he came up with the idea of plundering. How could he let this guy succeed?
Once he plunders more silver and builds more warships and armies, won't he be able to drive these barbarians out of the south?
Because of this, when Bochijin helped the Eastern Japanese, he was actually helping himself.
He quickly sent an order to the military department to immediately send the envoy from East Japan to the royal capital. He wanted to meet him in person to discuss cooperation.
really……
After the barbarians arrived, they first paid their respects to Bochijin according to etiquette, and then told him about their current situation. They hoped to be friendly with "your country". If they could help them eliminate the pirates, they would definitely establish a deep friendship!
Oh shit! Isn't this just a freeloader?
We talked for a long time about things like friendship and stuff, but in the end, no one mentioned spending money!
For a time, a large group of people in the barbarian court were dissatisfied.
Especially the chief minister of the cabinet, Ye Xianggao, the former chief minister of Da Qi and now the chief minister of the barbarians.
He asked the envoy, "Even if we barbarians want to help you eliminate the pirates, but... our most powerful weapon is our cavalry. We don't have any navy! How can we fight?"
The messenger said simply and crisply, "Firearms! We need a lot of firearms!"
Understood!
It turns out these are the things these guys got for free.
Ye Xianggao couldn't make a decision, so he simply turned around and looked at the Regent Bochijin. Everyone was staring at this "wise" prince.
Bo Chijin had actually already guessed what tricks these Dongwo people were going to play, but the same thing still applies: Li Jize, what a shameless bastard! He even supports his ex-wife, regardless of the cost, and spends all kinds of money to mess with me.
Why can't I follow suit, support the barbarian, and treat him equally?
Because of this, Bo Chijin said directly and generously, yes!
then……
If you want firearms, give them firearms; if you want gunpowder, give them gunpowder; if you want technology, give them technology.
To be honest, the firearms of the barbarians are flintlock rifles.
They also made it, it's a self-igniting musket, and using flint as an ignition device is not a strange thing.
The really difficult technique is actually the spring in the middle!
However, a living person can be killed by holding his urine. Don’t underestimate the wisdom of the ancients.
Especially in the north ruled by barbarians, there are many, many craftsmen and many, many Qi people.
After much thought, they failed to come up with a spring, but they came up with a good idea, which was...
Created a spring sheet!
What kind of spring leaf?
It is a piece of thickened iron sheet that is curved. This thing is still used on vehicles in later generations. It is a leaf spring!
I have to say, barbarians... no! The Qi people are really smart to come up with this solution.
But the problem is, the manufacturing process seems simpler than that of a spring!
That's because there are no machines. If there were machines, and you had to make them piece by piece by hand, how many could you make?
So the number of self-propelled firearms that the barbarians gave to the Eastern Japanese was not large, but the truly terrifying thing was...
They gave artillery!
Especially before, in order to let the rebels hold on and not be destroyed, Li Jize sold the other side a red cannon! And this red cannon was captured by the barbarians and then copied, which is very bad!
With the Red Cannon, at least in this era, it is considered a technologically advanced artillery.
The pirates are in trouble!
