Chapter 242. I, Mao Jue, make money!

Although the war with Dongjiang was the second year, the shogunate really didn't know much about Dongjiang. He followed Mao Jue to the back of the military camp and watched the team running around the playground, and the training of Lieutenant General's teammates falling to the ground. While walking, Yuki Aoyama was fascinated by the sight.

Especially, Mao Jue actually led him to the big killing weapon that the shogunate had always been afraid of, Dongjiang's cannon! Looking at the cast iron cannon that was completely different from even the Southern Barbarian cannons, with three meters long on the cannon rack, Aoyama Yuki's eyes were straight, and he seized all the time and wanted to keep it in his mind.

However, soon he had no idea.

“How is it adjusted?”

"Return to General, all the people have adjusted!"

There was such a thin man in the Dongjiang Army, where burly and strong men gathered together. Mao Jue muttered a bright word, but Yukien Aoyama didn't understand it. However, immediately, Mao Jue suddenly raised his hand to point at Tokugawa Datiansou, who was dark like a giant in the distance, but had a few holes, and actually said to him with a smile.

"Master Qingshan! You craftsman is too careless. You actually put the beam in a crooked way. Mao is not talented, so I will adjust it for you!"

As he said that, Mao Jue nodded to the thin man beside him. Sun Chun immediately raised two flags. Before Aoyama Yukien understood what happened, the red flag suddenly waved it.

Boom~

The old man staggered with a loud noise. Then, as he was shocked and angry, the five red cannons that were moved here suddenly exhaled from anger. Immediately afterwards, Tokugawa Datianmu directly turned into a three fat man, and he was hit hard by five sticks on his forehead.

The bricks and tiles fell down, and the roof of Tianshou Pavilion collapsed. It was so far away, but Yuki Aoyama could still imagine how panicked and chaotic it would be in the Great Imperial Hall. The old man was so gloomy that it seemed to be raining. The old guy jumped and roared angrily.

"General Mao, what are you doing?"

"Don't do things too well!"

A dangerous look ejaculated from his pupils. The old guy stared at Mao Jue with threats. Unfortunately, Mao Jue was like a scoundrel, and he didn't take his threat seriously at all. Instead, he smiled and patted the shell boxes around him.

"Your Excellency, you and I are still in war. Even if Mao is so arrogant, what can we do?"

"you!"

"Twenty-hundred thousand stones of grain and fifty thousand taels of gold, what will be like in the future? Let's not talk about it. Mao will see these things tomorrow! And there is no price! Of course, you can choose not to give them, but if you can't see the things, my gunner was angry and repairing the house and cutting the tree seeds for you, but it may not be necessary!"

I have to admit that Edo Castle is not small. Although it is more than Nanjing in the capital and the countryside, it is also comparable to that of Jinan in Hangzhou. When outside the city, Mao Jue's red cannons were really not enough. However, when it came to Teng Island, most of the huge Edo locations were under his artillery fire.

It’s really like the Americans in later generations. I just have air advantages. If you say you’re frying the egg on your right, you will never fry the egg on your left. Don’t accept it? If you don’t accept it, bear it!

The old man was so angry that he couldn't speak. He simply waved his sleeves suddenly, turned around and left in anger.

Behind, Mao Jue was still yelling with a smile.

"Sir Qingshan, I'll wait to collect the money early tomorrow morning!"

…………

For the first time, less than an hour, Aoyama Yukise came out happily, full of anger. He headed straight to the Heavenly Guard Pavilion, and entered the Imperial Palace while the warrior servants on both sides greeted each other.

But this time, he was welcomed even more enthusiastically than yesterday. When he saw him in, not only did the general Tokugawa Iemitsu suddenly stand up, but even his political enemy Masao Inaba asked urgently.

"Sir Aoyama, what's going on with the big bullet bomb just now?"

"When Tang Kou fired, he asked the shogunate for 200,000 stones of food and 50,000 taels of gold. If he was responsible, he would blow up the Great Heavenly Shou."

Aoyama Yukien replied casually. After saying this, he wanted to advocate attacking now and fight to the death with Mao Jue Dongjiang. Who knew that before he could say anything, Tokugawa Iemitsu actually asked in a hurry: "If you give this money and food, will the Tang thief not shelling my Tianshou Pavilion?"

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

Full of incredibleness, Aoyama Yukizuna shouted indignantly, and Tokugawa Iemitsu was shocked by the roar. The old man Inaba Masaka was immediately coughing heavily.

"Sir Qingshan, please be careful, you are in front of the general!"

"I am guilty!"

He also woke up and Yukien Aoyama crawled down again, but he still kowtowed angrily.

"General, our shogunate army is about to fight the Tang thieves, and the artillery fire is eyeless. How can we pay this useless fund for temporary stability?"

"Mr. Qingshan's words are not bad! The Great Heaven Shou is a symbol of Ieyasu's achievements. It took ten years to waste manpower and material resources to be built until it was completed. If it is destroyed under the artillery fire of the Tang thieves, even if the Tang thieves are destroyed, my Tokugawa family is in the eyes of Daming, where is the majesty?"

"If only 200,000 s of rice and 50,000 taels of gold can be exchanged for the Tang thief not to bombard this place, it would be worth it!"

"What Lord Inao said is right!"

"Mr. Inaoye is just a very mature statement!"

Aoyama Yukien was surprised. After Masato Inaba finished speaking, even if the military faction on their side had several people nodded. In addition to being angry, the old guy was a little awake. He suddenly understood.

Mao Jue's trick is so stupid!

Since his cannons can hit the Great Heavenly Shou, most of Edo Castle is within his attack range, then the houses, property, children, and servants of all the scoundrels, the houses, property, and children of the big guys are also under the threat of artillery fire.

Now it is not as thirty-five years ago as the Battle of Sekigahara. If it weren't for the Battle of Osaka, the world had been peaceful for thirty-five years and had been fighting for more than a hundred years. The poor and jingling Wu families have also begun to accumulate some of their assets, and everyone has begun to feel sorry for their own industries.

I really want to curse. If Tokugawa Ieyasu was sitting here, who would dare to care about his own acre of three-point land, and he would die until he was killed. Both sides were injured and would kill the Dongjiang army. But now, is this still the Wu family?

But after all, it was a peaceful era, and the anger was burning in his mouth. Looking at Tokugawa Iemitsu's concerned eyes, the words were finally swallowed by Yuki Aoyama. He was also old and did not dare to risk the danger of offending most old Chinese, retainers, and Hachimoto. He insisted on it.

"I, go and ask again!"

…………

"Hurry up! Move all over! Put it in! This is the best rice, don't be protected from moisture. Anyone who wants to make a mistake, you can eat it if you get moldy when you go back!"

Many Japanese farmers have grown rice for their entire lives and never ate a ton. Even when the Meiji Restoration was over, they did not change much. The Japanese cooking immortal Murashima, who was a bit painful for the farmers, advertised the old Japanese who had appeared in Youku advertising. When he was young, he participated in the Northeast colonial settlement of the Japanese and planted fields for several years, but he had never eaten a bowl of rice.

The reason why he became a cooked immortal was that when the Japanese retreated, with the idea of ​​giving up the jar, he and other young people in the village cooked the rice that should have been handed over to the military headquarters. The sweetness of the meal made him never forget it in his life. He devoted himself to the study of cooking and was only given the title of cooked immortal in his later years.

But such precious rice was carried to Hengtong Bridge in a basket without any money, and then it was moved in under the gun of the Ming army. While having fun, the ponytailed sea was still shouting there.

It was still in the tent of yesterday's flowery military, Mao Jue also became a wealthy fan. Japan is a large island formed by a volcanic eruption. The fierce geological movements have also brought rich mineral deposits. They settled many places and used gold directly. Five big boxes were filled with 50,000 taels of gold. Once opened, the golden light almost blinded his titanium alloy dog ​​eyes.

Not to mention Mao Jue, even Yu Le'er, the official lady, had never seen so much gold in her life. She became like a lucky cat, and excitedly took a large gold medal. Even the largest gold coins of the Japanese were in her hands, and she couldn't bear to put it down.

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

He was so happy that he couldn't stop talking. Mao Jue was patting his chest with righteousness, just kidding. Is he willing to blow up such a big blackmail target? Besides, if you really want to fight, the few shells left are of course thrown into your Japanese piles with your life. Throw more people to the place, blow up those places that have nothing to do with the battle situation. I'm crazy!

Obviously, Aoyama Yukien also understood that this was not a good thing for the shogunate. Not to mention who the shells finally fell on, the Wu family began to enjoy themselves and liked wealth and advocated the lives of the ministers. Didn’t the Hei family samurai who was defeated by this? The Tianshou Pavilion 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, Yukien Aoyama, who was gritting his teeth, couldn't help but roar and curse in a low voice.

"General Mao, don't be too happy too early! The winner is not yet decided. Do you really not consider your subordinates and your own name?"

"This is not a problem for you, Lord Qingshan. Mao has his own plans, but I have to help you with your friends today. Why don't you get some?"

With a loud bang, Mao Jue grabbed a handful of gold coins and handed them over with a smile. The old man was so angry that he simply shook his sleeves and turned around and left.

Holding the gold coins and watching him leave, the smile on Mao Jue's face gradually turned into a sinister smile, and he started to hum in a cold manner.
