I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Dahua started mining quietly in Fusang and made a fortune, while the people of Fusang started fighting.

Shimadzu Mitsuhisa led an army of 30,000 to attack the Kumamoto Domain to the north of him.

Along with the army was an observation group and a guidance group from Dahua.

After all, the tactics of the flintlock gun are summed up by themselves, and I am afraid it will take a long process.

In order to show clients that flintlocks really work, they had to send coaches to prevent these fusos from using flintlocks as long spears.

The army marched to Yatsushiro City, and fought in Yatsushiro City with Nishikawa Wangyoshi's army.

The two sides lined up face to face, forming a formation.

It is not the first time Shimadzu Mitsuhisa has played against Nishikawa Wangyoshi, and both sides are still familiar with each other.

However, this time, Nishikawa Wangji suffered a big loss. He didn't know that Shimadzu Mitsuhisa now has expert guidance.

The battles in other directions were almost the same as before. The two sides were evenly matched.

But in the Central Army, Nishikawa Wangyoshi was quickly defeated by Shimadzu Mitsuhisa's flintlock infantry and grenadiers.

Especially the grenadier unit, relatively speaking, the soldiers of the Satsuma domain were more fond of grenades, but not so keen on flintlocks.

Because of their lax military discipline, the use of flintlock guns requires strict military discipline, and orders are prohibited, which makes them very uncomfortable.

The relevant requirements for throwing grenades are much less, and it is much more convenient, and the lethality is amazing.

If you let them go to Dorgon, their grenadiers can't really play a big role. The Qing army already has a series of ways to deal with the grenadiers.

But Nishikawa Wangji wouldn't, so he arranged a dense phalanx of infantry, and let the soldiers spread out if they didn't understand.

In just one encounter, the people of the Kumamoto Domain suffered heavy losses.

The people from the Kumamoto domain were running away, while the people from the Satsuma domain were chasing after them.

On the top of the mountain, members of the Dahua observation group put down their telescopes and shook their heads.

After watching the battle just now, they were completely disappointed with the soldiers of the Satsuma Domain.

Obviously, they have taught very hard, but those soldiers who are not disciplined can't play well in line to shoot.

Not to mention other things, just walking in unison is not good. Some people walk fast, some people walk slowly, and the whole queue becomes a curve.

On the surface, it doesn't seem like this has any bad effect on the battle.

But they just haven't encountered a master. If they face Dahua's army, their formation will quickly reveal flaws, revealing a lot of details.

"Fortunately, it is enough to deal with the more primitive Kumamoto Domain."

Dong Zhong sighed with emotion.

If the army he directed lost to a primitive army, he would feel embarrassed and his face darkened.

"Haha, Staff Officer Dong, this is a good thing. This just shows that Fusang is an easy opponent to deal with."

Another observer laughed.

He did not regard Satsuma Domain as his own, and taught them only because of the above tasks. He was also a little afraid that he would train people from Satsuma Domain into elites, which would be difficult to deal with in the future.

Now that he saw their training results, he was relieved.

"That's true. I just don't know if the people of the Kumamoto domain will be scared by this battle, and will they wake up in time."

Dong Zhong smiled, their mission was not really to help the people of Satsuma domain destroy Kumamoto domain, but to call Nishikawa Wangji to help them.

At that time, they will be able to sell arms from both ends.

If the people of the Satsuma domain did not fear Nishikawa from Kedah, their purpose would have been defeated.

Nishikawa Wangji was more clever than Dahua imagined. After Yatsushiro was defeated, he quickly contacted the Dahua who were active in Kumamoto.

Through those spies, Nishikawa Wangji contacted the person in charge of Dahua in Kumamoto City to discuss the procurement of weapons together.

The Kumamoto domain was a little poorer than the Satsuma domain, but Nishikawa Wangyoshi asked for 10,000 guns and 200,000 grenades.

Now that the situation is urgent, if the military strength is not strengthened, it may be annexed by the Satsuma clan, and Nishikawa Wangyoshi is already anxious.

Under the emergency treatment, Nishikawa Wangji's willingness to accept the bottom line is greatly reduced.

In the end, the two sides reached an agreement.

Dahua sold 5,000 flintlock guns, 100,000 grenades, and other military supplies to the Kumamoto domain.

The Kumamoto Domain opened its trade ports to China, and also allowed Dahua to mine ore on Kumamoto.

Basically, it is similar to the Kagoshima Treaty.

After the treaty was signed, Nishikawa Wangji began to find ways to raise money.

He also knows that this batch of arms alone can only protect himself at most. If he wants to defeat the Satsuma domain, or even destroy the Satsuma domain, he will need to purchase a lot of arms in the future.

Let's not say whether Dahua is willing to sell or not, even if he is willing to sell, he must have money.

What these arms giants sell is expensive, even a consumable grenade, they dare to sell five taels of silver.

He can't help but buy it, otherwise the enemy's grenade will be thrown, and he will suffer a big loss.

Sometimes, a grenade can kill and injure three or four people, and in that case, the five taels of silver is quite a bargain.

Raising money, for an agricultural country, is really a very difficult thing.

The only thing they can use for export is food, but food is very cheap in Dahua.

Want to trade food for weapons,

They can't change much if they starve to death.

The only thing they can rely on is the one or two silver mines.

However, mining takes time, and all aspects of the Kumamoto Domain are counting on these two silver mines.

Take the money from the silver mines to buy arms, and the whole administration will stop functioning.

Silver mining alone cannot solve the problem of money.

Fortunately, someone reminded Nishikawa Wangji that Dahua is still interested in one thing, and that is their Fusang woman.

Of course, Nishikawa Wangji was also reluctant to bear those women, but there was no way, he couldn't even keep his position as a big name without sacrificing the women under his control.

As a result, Nishikawa Wangyoshi issued an order to increase taxes in the Kumamoto domain.

A national disaster tax is levied on the people, three taels per person.

This number is basically forcing those people to die.

At this time, a team dedicated to buying people also went to the countryside.

Women and girls, they all want it, and different prices are set according to age and appearance.

Basically, there are five to twelve.

Those people who were cornered, could only sell their daughters with tears in their eyes, and then use the money to pay taxes.

Not everyone is willing to do this, and many people resist.

However, Nishikawa Wangji dared to do this, he was naturally confident, knowing that this level of exploitation would not cause chaos.

The few people who resisted were either killed to warn the monkeys or caught to work as coolies in the mines, which was not a big problem.
