Takeuchi couldn't let Ito leave, after all, he still wanted to get more information from Ito.
And Takeuchi could see that since people like Ishida Aido came back, they didn't look at him very friendly, which made him feel a little uneasy.
Therefore, he must figure out what is going on.
¡°Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t feel very at ease.
However, Ito does have a mission now, and he can't force him.
But if he leaves for a while, who can he ask to ask about these questions?
Therefore, Takeuchi gritted his teeth and said to Ito: "It won't take long. You can just leave this task to my subordinates to complete it for you. And if you answer my question, then you owe me How about just writing off the money?"
Faced with the current situation, Takeuchi, the iron cock, knew that he should pull out one of his feathers.
Sure enough, when Ito heard that he didn¡¯t have to pay back the debt, his expression immediately changed.
You know, Ito owes Takeuchi a lot of money.
The monthly interest alone makes Ito miserable.
¡°If the debt is written off in one go, it can be said to be a life-saving thing for Ito.
"real!"
Ito asked.
Takeuchi nodded, his expression extremely serious: "Really! As long as you can tell me in detail, then the money you owe me will be waived."
This time Takeuchi was really bleeding profusely.
With Takeuchi¡¯s promise, Ito immediately nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, Takeuchi found some of his followers and asked Ito to explain a few words to them, and then those few simply left in a hurry to complete his mission for Ito.
"Ito, on the other hand, stayed and explained to Takeuchi the things that he was very confused about.
"Lord Ishida attacks with five thousand troops, how can you be defeated? Are there many enemies, or are they very powerful?"
After everything was arranged, Takeuchi asked.
In fact, in his heart, he was full of doubts about many things. But he also knew that he needed to ask little by little. If he asked too many questions at once, Ito would not be able to answer them.
He is just a vulgar martial artist. Normally, he would not touch him with his eyelids, but now he has to put down his posture to please him in a small way.
**, when you get what you want and resolve this crisis, you will not make it easy for him.
Takeuchi has made up his mind. As long as he can escape this disaster, he will not let this guy Ito go.
"You are just a little Hatamoto samurai, but you still resist me when I ask you questions, and you have to make some promises before you can cooperate. This is simply intolerable."
What¡¯s more, he said he didn¡¯t have to pay back the money he owed.
In fact, Takeuchi¡¯s heart was bleeding.
There is a reason for the nickname Iron Rooster.
It¡¯s just that under the current situation, Takeuchi has no choice but to make this promise.
But after this incident!
¡°Hmph, there are so many ways to deal with Ito.
Ito didn¡¯t think so much. He didn¡¯t know how many twists and turns there were in the cheerful Takeuchi in front of him.
Right now, Ito is still in a state of excitement.
Haha, you don¡¯t have to pay back the debt, and your life will become much more comfortable in the future.
Ito, who was in a good mood, then began to answer Takeuchi's questions.
"It is true that Mr. Ishida led five thousand of us to attack, and our military strength was five times greater than that of the enemy. However, under such circumstances, we were still defeated. I have to say that the enemy is still very powerful."
Immediately, before Takeuchi could continue to ask questions, Ito described the situations he saw in detail to Takeuchi one by one.
"The enemy rarely uses weapons like swords. They all use a type of iron cannon that they have never seen before. This iron cannon shoots very fast, and they adopt a tactic that can maximize the power of the iron cannon. , the five-stage shot that surpassed the original three-stage shot came to deal with us"
With Ito¡¯s narration, Takeuchi had a more intuitive understanding of the battle at midnight.
The military strength of those foreigners is very small, even less than a thousand people.
However, those foreigners relied on these less than a thousand soldiers to defeat Ishida Aido and others who had five times their number.
This is not some random boast, but a real fact.
And the enemies all use iron cannons and very novel tactics.
Their infantry relied on this tactic and iron artillery to defeat the Ashigaru and militiamen.
The enemy's cavalry was not large in number, but it was with the help of these cavalry that their infantry achieved the final result.
"Those foreign cavalry also use a short-handled iron cannon, but the barrel of that iron cannon is very short and it is in the shape of a trumpet. I have never seen such an iron cannon."
Speaking of the scene when he saw the cavalry attacking, Ito's face was full of sighs.
"And when that kind of short-handled iron cannon is fired, I can feel that it has a very wide coverage. Basically, one shot can hit a large area of ??people. It is with such a weapon that we have suffered heavy losses."
Ito said these things with his own eyes.
Takeuchi clicked his lips and said nothing.
It was difficult for him to understand some of the things Ito said.
After all, he is not a person who studies military affairs very much.
"Just like that, you failed, right?"
After a while, Takeuchi asked a non-nutritious question.
Ito nodded: "Yes, the Ashigaru were defeated, the cavalry was wiped out, and the militiamen were beaten and fled in all directions. In the end, Lord Ishida was the only one left with us Hatamoto samurai. But on the other hand, those foreigners still have intact The cavalry and infantry are absolutely no match for us."
"How much has the enemy lost?"
Takeuchi then asked.
From Takeuchi¡¯s point of view, since the opponent defeated Ishida Aido and the others with inferior strength, I guess the opponent will not be much better off.
Ishida Aido¡¯s 5,000-man army attacked, but in the end only 400-odd Hatamoto followed him back to Osaka Castle. So where did the remaining 4,000-odd people go?
There¡¯s no need to ask.
Even Ishida Aido lost so many people, I guess those foreigners will not be any better.
"It's a pity that what Takeuchi didn't expect was that Ito's face became very ugly when he asked this question.
"What's wrong!"
Takeuchi¡¯s heart beat faster.
Afterwards, Ito choked for a moment and replied: "You may not believe it, but none of those foreigners were lost in the battle. The losses in the midnight battle were all our Osaka soldiers."
Hiss!
Takeuchi took a breath of air, then raised his hand and pinched himself.
¡°Am I dreaming, or is this guy Ito talking nonsense?
Five thousand people versus less than a thousand people. Of the five thousand people who were killed, only a few hundred people were left. However, no one in the team of less than a thousand people was killed. This thing sounds like a fantasy. Bar.
Even if it is a fantasy, it is not so magical.
Takeuchi really can¡¯t believe that this is the truth.
Ito found that Takeuchi didn't believe it, so he looked at Takeuchi seriously and said: "What I said is all true. If you don't believe it, there's nothing I can do about it, but we Hatamoto have all seen it, so you can confirm it from others." It¡¯s all about whether it¡¯s right or not.¡±
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Takeuchi came back to his senses after what Ito said and coughed violently.
In fact, he doesn¡¯t care about these things. He only needs to understand the situation of the battle.
"According to what you said, those foreigners won, and Lord Ishida's side was defeated."
Takeuchi asked another nonsense question.
Ito rolled his eyes and thought: Isn't this nonsense? I have said so much, why can't I still hear it?
"Yes, we were defeated. In order to prevent those foreigners from taking advantage of the situation to attack Osaka Castle, we must now strengthen our defenses."
Although he complained in his heart, Ito still answered respectfully on the surface.
New iron cannons and new tactics opened the eyes of the Japanese.
And the results achieved by less than 1,000 people against 5,000 people were enough to blind the Japanese.
With their limited IQ, it is impossible to understand what is going on here.
However, even Takeuchi, who is as stupid as a pig, understands that things have become more complicated now.?.
"Let me ask you, did you hear anything on the way back?"
Takeuchi knew that this matter could not be hidden.
If Ishida Aido can defeat those foreigners, he can hide his own affairs.
"But if even Ishida Kaido is defeated, then he will definitely not be able to hide the trouble he caused.
¡°If the shogunate investigates him by then, he will definitely be pushed out as the instigator of the incident.
¡°Damn idiot Ishida Aido, I really don¡¯t know how he became a lord.
He took a force of five thousand men to fight those foreigners, and he was able to return defeated.
If you win, you won¡¯t have to go through so much trouble.
Now, it's okay. Ishida Aido's defeat will make this matter even bigger, and even the shogunate will be involved.
"When the shogunate comes to question me, will I still be able to run away?"
no!
??You must not sit still and wait for death, you must find a way to protect yourself.
However, when we investigate the matter, the reason and root cause lies within ourselves.
This is something he can't shirk.
So, in order to protect yourself, what can you do?
After much deliberation, Takeuchi felt that he had to find his daughter, and only his daughter could help him.
It has to be said that Takeuchi's premonition is very sensitive. Although Ito was still hesitating whether to tell him what he heard on the road, Takeuchi had already guessed the fact that he was about to be pushed out. (To be continued.
