At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang had a thought.
If the silver mine that Zhu Gaoye mentioned really existed, then he would have to re-evaluate the situation in Japan.
He had always thought that the Japanese were just a scratch, and it wasn't like he hadn't thought of conquering the Japanese. Now, it seemed like he had a reason to destroy the Japanese!
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't believe in the Divine Wind or the Amaterasu God.
Even if these things really existed, he would capture them and trample them under his feet to let the world see how strong he was.
It wasn't impossible to forcefully conquer Japan, but it would be a waste of manpower and money. Compared to the benefits, it could be said that it would be unable to make ends meet.
With Da Ming's current weak financial ability, fighting this kind of war without returns, other than dragging down Da Ming's originally poor finances, there was no benefit at all.
In addition, there were many islands in Japan. It was basically impossible to capture all these pirates in one go.
From the looks of the pirates on the southeast coast, most of the Japanese were slippery existences.
The expedition would only have little effect. When he attacked, these Japanese people would hide on other islands.
After he left, these people gathered together again and came to Great Ming in an even crazier manner to threaten the safety of Great Ming's sea territory.
This was the real headache for Zhu Yuanzhang. If he didn't kill the snake, he would kill it. In the end, the people of the Ming Dynasty would still suffer. This was the main reason why Zhu Yuanzhang chose to ban the migration.
However, it was different now. The power of the Fran Machine Cannon was clearly displayed in front of him. The powerful energy coverage ability was something that the army could not compare to.
As long as there were enough of these cannons, they could form a dense fire net. With this fire net, he wouldn't need to waste any effort to find the Japanese.
They could just rely on these cannons to sweep through the area like plowing a field, unless these Japanese could hide underground like rats and avoid the attacks of the cannons.
No, let alone these Japanese people, even if there were really rats hiding underground, he could suffocate them to death!
Even if there was really a portion of fish that escaped the net, they would only become rootless duckweed. Not to mention posing a threat to Da Ming, whether they could survive was a big problem.
Furthermore, Japan had such a huge silver mine. This was a timely rain for Great Ming. He had every reason to destroy Japan. Whoever dared to stop him would be the sinner of the entire Great Ming.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep look at Zhu Di. At this time, Zhu Di was still immersed in the powerful power of the Franc machine gun and flintlock.
"Gao Ye, can you let me take a closer look at your Franc cannon?”
Zhu Di said to Zhu Gaoye with an itch in his heart. He had already tested the flintlock just now, but that feeling was obviously not enough to satisfy Zhu Di's heart. Instead, it made Zhu Di even more interested in the more powerful Franc machine gun.
Zhu Gaoye didn't refuse Zhu Di's request. He had asked Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di to visit the underground base today to attract them to join him.
Now, it seemed that at least Zhu Di had been attracted to him. Now, he was interested in the Franc machine gun. This was exactly what he wanted.
The genes in human bones determined that most men would have a great interest in this kind of weapon that was full of hormones.
This had been the case since ancient times, not to mention Emperor Yongle who was famous for his martial strength in the history of the future generations and defeated the Mongolians.
Therefore, after hearing Zhu Di's words, Zhu Gaoye smiled at Zhu Di and said,"
"Of course you can. Not only can you watch, but you can also test fire a few shots yourself to satisfy your craving.”
Then, he brought Zhu Di back to the side of the Franc cannon and handed the torch to Zhu Di so that Zhu Di could see the structure of the entire cannon body more clearly.
Zhu Di took the torch and raised one hand high. He came to the front of the Franc cannon and gently placed the other hand on the body of the cannon.
After this period of cooling, the cannon body was no longer as hot as it was at the beginning. It was completely within the range that Zhu Di could tolerate.
Feeling the warmth from his hand, Zhu Di felt as if he could hear the magnificent scene of thousands of Franc cannons firing at the same time. The feeling of his blood pumping made Zhu Di, a brave general who had been in the frontier for many years, feel a surge of emotions.
He couldn't wait to bring these cannons to Japan and wipe out all the Japanese!
As for Zhu Gaoye's test firing of the Franc cannon, Zhu Di did not intend to do so.
Firstly, the Fran Machine Cannon was not a single soldier weapon like the flintlock. Secondly, even if he brought these Fran Machine Cannons to the battlefield, it was not his turn to operate them personally.
There was a specialization in every field. This was the basic knowledge that an outstanding general must have. It was like a butcher who slaughtered pigs and sheep. He would not teach a blacksmith how to forge iron.
Zhu Di's actions obviously made Zhu Yuanzhang feel a wave of dissatisfaction. This Fourth Brother was indeed a boorish man who knew how to fight. He had forgotten about the proper business.
Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to cough a few times inadvertently. Zhu Di woke up immediately after hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's cough. He remembered that he had asked Zhu Gaoye for the Franc machine gun and flintlock gun just now. Zhu Gaoye had not replied to him yet.
He quickly returned the torch to Zhu Gaoye and said with a smile,
"There's no need to test it. This thing isn't something to be used for fun.”
Then, he changed the topic and continued,
"Gao Ye, think about what I said just now. Can you sell me a few flintlocks and a few Franc cannons?”
"You don't have to worry about money. I'll definitely give you a satisfactory price!”
Zhu Gaoye knew that the two of them had been completely attracted by the Fran Machine Cannon and flintlock.
Zhu Gaoye decided to keep Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di in suspense. Instead of answering Zhu Di's question directly, he said,"
"It's getting late. It's already time to eat. Let's go up and eat first!”
After saying that, he ordered his men to push the completed cannon down. Then, he led Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di out.
