Chapter 76 Surprise and surprise
After seeing off Takesato, Zhang Lun fell into deep thought.
To be honest, the development of things has been very unexpected to him. Originally, he was just planning to wipe out these Japanese pirates.
However, I didn't expect that the Franjiren was involved in this matter, the former Japanese shogun General, and Zhang Lun, who was unable to escape.
If you don’t know anything, it’s just that. Now you know that the Japanese pirates are actually going to buy artillery from the Francophone!
Takesato didn't know what those cannons mean, but how could Zhang Lun not know!
After years of mutual conquest, Europe has made extremely rapid progress in nautical technology and thermal weapons.
Especially in terms of artillery, their achievements have far exceeded those of the Ming Dynasty. The artillery that Francophones want to sell to Japanese pirates is the greatest possibility...
It is the Fran machine cannon that caused great losses to the Ming Dynasty in history. If the Japanese pirates obtained these cannons, the result would be self-evident.
The Japanese pirates' attack methods were almost guerrilla warfare, and they would run away if they attacked and robbed.
When they did not have artillery, they had already flooded the coastal areas and often ransacked major towns.
If artillery is added to the powerful weapon to attack cities and villages, then all coastal areas in Fujian and Guangdong will be exposed to the range of Japanese pirates’ attacks!
The corpses in the Wang family compound, pairs of desperate eyes and faces, slowly flashed through Zhang Lun's mind again...
If these Japanese pirates obtained the artillery of the Franchise, if the Franchise had found out the coastline and coastal defense line of the Ming Dynasty...
A disaster that will pour out the sky!
Only these four words flashed through Zhang Lun's mind, although he didn't know why this seemed to have not happened in history.
But he couldn't guarantee that this was not because of the butterfly effect he had created after traveling to the Ming Dynasty.
After taking a deep breath, Zhang Lun decided that he had to stop this matter!
Those Japanese pirates must die, those Francos and their artillery must stay!
After asking Miaoan to call Zhang Long over, Zhang Lun began to instruct the old soldier to prepare for battle at any time.
This time, the enemies Zhang Lun faced were even more vicious. According to Takesaki Sato, there were about 500 Fuso pirates on the island.
He did not see the Franjiman, but according to the words of his deputy leader, the pirate uncle, there were about three hundred people.
Sato revealed that the most valuable news was probably the one who made the decision on the island, a group of pirates from more than 3,000 people from the Ming Dynasty.
Those people are just neutral parties and will not participate in the transactions between the two parties. They just maintain order and charge certain transaction fees.
As the representative of the general's family, Takesaki Sato and others would not care about how the two parties traded. They just wanted to verify whether those weapons could really help them win.
This is the most critical for them.
To be honest, what Zhang Lun and others have to face are actually about 300 Franchise men and 500 Japanese pirates.
The most important attack method of the Francos is the mesh gun, although they have not yet developed the fatal heavy mesh gun.
But for Zhang Lun and others, the current mesh rope gun is enough to cause significant damage.
Not to mention that the other party also has a fast-firing killer like the Fran machine cannon!
But both weapons have a huge flaw, that is, they have to distance themselves before they can have an attack effect.
Once they are approached, they are not as real as a machete.
Zhang Long originally disagreed with the suppression of Japanese pirates and the Franji man, but he did not dare to neglect his serious orders when he saw his young master.
It is not bad to record Zhang Lun's orders one by one, and there is nothing wrong with melee combat.
He and others were obviously wearing armor and had an advantage in melee combat, and it was not cost-effective to eat other people's bows and arrows from afar.
Zhang Lun's plan was very simple, let Take Sato's men stand in front and pretend that it was a Japanese pirate ship returned.
After the big ship approached the pier, he launched an attack on the Japanese pirates and Franchise men without hesitation!
"Mr. Sato, if you want the two sides to get along, you always need some sincerity?" Zhang Lun smiled at Takeshi Sato in front of him, "I need the merits of the bandits, you always have to help."
This was the next day when Zhang Lun asked Miaoan to find Takego Sato, and he made a very straightforward request.
Yesterday, I used some tricks to make Takesa Sato confused. It is obviously impossible to fool him again today.
Most of the reason why yesterday was successful was that Takeshi Sato had just experienced life and death, and his mood was unstable, so he gave Zhang Lun the opportunity to take advantage of it.
After a night of rest and recovering, Zhang Lun did not think he could fool him again.
"If there is no sincerity, how can we talk to each other?!" Zhang Lun looked at Takeshi Sato and said with a smile.
"You know me, but what you don't know is: My Zhang family has been the hand of nobles for generations, my eldest father holds the capital camp, and Your Majesty's grace reports to me secretly..."
These words were very important, so important that Sato Take's breathing became a little heavier.
Zhang Lun continued with a smile: "You have watched too, there were soldiers who were under armor among the soldiers who were conquering me that day."
"They are water bandits...they are water bandits I recruit."
Looking at Takesato, Zhang Lun narrowed his beautiful Danfeng Peach Blossom and said softly: "The Ming pirates on the Twin Peak Island must also want to go back to the Ming Dynasty!"
"It's so good for the young master to know that this matter is not something that can be decided by me..."
Takeshi Sato calmed down his breath and looked at Zhang Lun and whispered: "This time, in addition to being with the princess, there is also the general's old man in the Bitou family..."
Zhang Lun was stunned when he heard this, then he stroked his forehead helplessly and said, "Okay, you can reply to me as soon as possible after you go back."
"Although I can't help the battle..." Takeshi Sato pondered for a while and whispered: "But for you to cover up, it is possible to launch a surprise attack."
This is enough. Zhang Lun nodded and smiled heartily, "I can talk about it again after this."
The two sides reached a consensus in such a tacit understanding, Takeshi Sato said goodbye and left to arrange for his subordinates to cooperate.
At noon the next day, Zhang Lun's 400-foot warship had already caught up, which probably has something to do with the water bandits' bad luck in operating sails.
With the big ship, Zhang Lun naturally did not want to squeeze into the 200-food boat. He took Miaoan to invite Takesa Sato and boarded the 400-food battleship ship.
Takeshi Sato's eyes couldn't help but shine when he got on the tall and mighty battleship. The two hundred materials warships before him had already made him feel invincible.
Unexpectedly, this four hundred materials warship appeared again at this time. The huge and mighty hull made him almost think that he had encountered a sea fortress!
After all, it had been decades since Zheng He's voyage to the West, and although Fusang records the size of the Ming ships.
But it was even more shocking that I didn't see it with my own eyes.
In "The Southern Ship Record", Shen Qi said that these four hundred materials warships are "the great style of the tower ship,... big and powerful, strong and profitable..."
It has the momentum of "use to drive away the waves... and to take over people without fighting."
This can be seen from the expression on Sato Takeshi's face now. Fusang does not have such a big ship...
