A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 93 17. The iron cannon is proficient and talented

After dragging two children into the store who were still looking around to watch the excitement, Aji was still asking Chen San: "Did you see bleeding? I think I saw it." Chen San shook his head, "I saw that person's face Got stepped on."

Mom, there is no one in this world who doesn't like to watch the fun, whether they are ninety-nine or just old enough to walk. Why do you crowd around when you see this kind of excitement? Is there still a handful of melon seeds missing? It's better to make a cup of tea.

If it hadn't been for Xiao Ping's dragging, these two people might have gone to the street corner to watch. If it was exaggerated, they might even have applauded. Today's young people always want to watch a big news, what a pattern.

When we entered the store, we were immediately greeted by a young user. The attitude is very warm, the smile is very standard and polite, and there is no pretense at all. The overall level of the service industry in this era is very good.

Mrs. Xiaoping couldn't help but think of a joke in the future. In ancient romantic places, they introduced me as a girl who was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and poetry. Gentle and pleasant, with a sweet smile. But now in the pornographic service industry, only the good postures of Bo Da Huo are introduced.

Is this the progress of the times or the regression of the times?

What a cruel social development!

Xiao Pingtai saw that the clerks in the store were busy with various things. He looked around casually and found that the boss didn't seem to be in the store.

So I asked the user: "Isn't Boss Tsuda here?" "The boss went to the town hall to discuss things. What can I do for you?" No, no, I'll just ask. "Xiao Pingtai waved his hands quickly.

Since Tsuda Soki or Tsuda Sotatsu are indeed not here, there is nothing to stop at. Koheita said that he wanted to buy a Sakai iron cannon and a Zaga iron cannon. When the user heard that this business was not small, it cost dozens of taels of gold, which was more than the price of thirty barrels of miso. . So he smiled happily and asked Xiaoping to wait.

Soon, a clerk took out six iron cannons from the warehouse behind the store, three of each type of iron cannon, to ensure that the quality was good. The stores of big merchants are here, and they have a reputation guaranteed by decades and hundreds of years, and they will basically not pass off shoddy products.

Moreover, it is not convenient to conduct experiments in Sakai Town. After all, in such a populous city, even a small place is full of people. If you use that open space as a storage yard or warehouse to store goods, you can make a lot of money every day, so how can you just let it sit there and not use it? No matter how wealthy a businessman is, he is still a profit-seeking businessman.

Xiaoheita actually didn't know much about matchlock guns, and suddenly thought that Chen San's father sold them. Moreover, what they sell are genuine Portuguese matchlock guns, while the ones in this store are all knockoffs. He has played with things since he was a child, and he must know whether they are good or bad.

"Chen San, come here and take a look." Xiao Pingtai called Chen San over, who was quietly looking around, and then handed the iron cannon to his hand. The people in the store were also surprised. Did a thirteen or fourteen year old child come to see it?

The six or seven kilogram iron cannon is a heavy thing in the hands of the thirteen or fourteen-year-old Chen San, but he is better developed than everyone here. With a body of over 1.5 meters, it is not difficult to hold an iron cannon.

Chen San is indeed very familiar with the matchlock gun. After buying it, he weighed it first. If it is made of junk materials, it will be lighter than an ordinary iron cannon. This is the simplest way to distinguish the quality of the iron cannon. Then there is the analysis and observation of the specific qualities of the iron cannon.

He first unscrewed the blocking bolt at the tail of the iron cannon, and then screwed it on again, repeating this several times, carefully observing whether the threads fit and whether they could be tightened perfectly, otherwise it would affect the airtightness of the iron cannon when fired. If the air tightness is poor, the firing range of the iron cannon will be greatly reduced, and it may even be possible to only shoot three to five meters.

After inspecting the tail of the barrel, take the barrel out separately and point it to a bright place outdoors. Use your eyes to align the barrel with your eyes to see if the barrel is drilled smoothly and whether there are any bulges or dents.

Then check whether the trigger is stuck, and finally check whether the barrel is firmly fixed on the wooden support with a copper hoop.

After a few minutes, I checked everything again. Sure enough, the quality was good, and all parts were made very well. Although it is a completely handmade product, it is assembled perfectly and there are no mistakes or omissions.

However, Tatsuzo also said that the Sakai iron cannon was definitely not as far as the Zaga iron cannon. Because the Sakai Iron Cannon increased the caliber and shortened the barrel length, although the barrel was made easier to build and the wall thickness was increased to ensure the safety of shooting, the projectiles fired were bound to be shot without any debris due to insufficient initial kinetic energy. Congratulations and friend Tsutsuyuan.

Xiao Pingtai didn't really want to use it, he just wanted to buy samples, so he had nothing to do with it. As long as the quality is okay, you can buy it. Originally, iron cannons from various places have their own advantages and disadvantages. To take the straight from the curve, just choose one that is balanced in all aspects.

However, a middle-aged man in the store who was obviously in charge spoke up. He did not expect that Chen San, a Nanman, not only spoke fluent Japanese, but was also proficient in matchlock guns at a young age. As expected, it was a weapon imported from the Southern Barbarians, and the Southern Barbarians were very familiar with it.

They have gained some experience and met a buyer who knows the goods. However, they are conscientious merchants, a century-old store, and they do not sell fake products.

So Koheita bought one each at the price of fourteen taels of gold. After all, Sakai Town is an international metropolis, so the price is definitely higher than that of Kuniyu. Just like us now, a bowl of noodles in our small county costs about 8 yuan or 10 yuan, and there are a few slices of thin beef. If you go to Shanghai, it will definitely cost 18 yuan or 20 yuan, right? Understandable, happy transaction anyway.

Kodaira was glad when he thought that he didn't have to go further south to the muddy waters of Kii Province. Last time, Hatakeyama Takamasa's 40,000 men were victorious at first, and even beat Miyoshi Yoshihide to death in Kumeda. However, Miyoshi Nagakei, who had regained his breath, gave him a heavy beating, and Yukawa Naomitsu was beaten to death. The rest of the Hatakeyama family abandoned their armor and ran back. Kii is in chaos now.

As for Awa, I didn’t dare to think about it. I had heard the news before. The two giants of Awa, Hosokawa Mochitaka and Miyoshi Yoshiken, were both dead. Their sons were both young. The situation in Awa country was changing. Who knew what would happen? What kind of situation has it become. It was Xiao Pingtai's rule not to take personal risks, so he just took these samples back with him.

The rest is to do some personal things. Xiaoping was so lucky that he came to Sakai Town. He wanted to get a piece of Nanban crocodile that he had been thinking about, and he couldn’t put it off any longer.

So after leaving Tennojiya, we went to Nawu, which is not far away. It also has a big front, and it is indeed a large shopping mall.

As soon as I walked in, a very young guy came up to me.

"Hello guest, little Sukezaemon, what do you need?"

Hmm~~? ? ?

Naya Sukezaemon?
