    On May 18, Kira Yoshitoki sent someone to contact Tennojiya in Sakai Town and proposed the purchase of 300 iron cannons. Tennojiya attached great importance to this business. As the future owner of Tennojiya, Tsuda Muneki personally  When I took a boat to Sakamoto Castle to visit Kiragi, although he came with sincerity, the price he proposed was not sincere at all.  "One hundred guans for each iron cannon? Or twenty-five guans for Yongle money?" Kira Yoshi repeated in a more serious tone, staring at Tsuda Muneji's flawless smiling face like a falcon, and after a moment he suddenly spoke softly.  Smiling lightly, he turned to Matsui Yuxian and said: "I must take down the three hundred iron cannons, and the rest will be left to you, understand?" "Don't worry, Your Highness Kira, I will go all out." Matsui Yukan  Xian is also a man with a flawless smile. Although he is still very young and far from his strongest moment, Tsuda Muneki is also very young, isn't he?  There are always a lot of sparks between young people and young people.  Since iron cannons were introduced to Tanegashima in the 12th year of Astronomy, there have been only four manufacturers of iron cannons: the Tanegashima tube of origin, the Kishu tube of the Kiitsuda family, the Sakai tube of Sakai Town, and the Kunitomo tube controlled by the shogunate.  Among the four brands, the quality of Sakai cannons is the best, because wealthy merchants in Sakai Town can easily gather skilled craftsmen and spend a lot of money to buy technology and improve it. Therefore, the remaining iron cannon manufacturers still insist on small-scale production to satisfy themselves first and then  By the time it was sold abroad, Sakaitsutsu's reputation had already spread throughout Japan.  After a whole day of verbal battles, which cost countless brain cells, Matsui Yuxian finally won. He knew that Kira Yoshitoki would never accept such a high unit price, so he pretended that if you don't sell it to us at a low price, he would just find someone.  The Kunitomo iron cannons purchased from the shogunate were not much worse than your Sakai gun anyway. In the end, Tsuda Muneki had to make a concession. He said he would go back to discuss it with his father, and took the boat back to Sakai Town that night without stopping.  Seeing Tsuda Muneji leaving in a hurry, Kira Yoshihi called Matsui Yukan and asked: "What is the price you negotiated with him?" "Reporting to His Majesty Kira, the price I negotiated with Tsuda-don is sixty kan a piece.  "Ji Liangyi couldn't help but wonder: "Oh? Sixty guan? I almost cut it in half! How did you negotiate it?" "Yes! I offered 40 guans and was rejected.  " After getting to know Matsui Yukan, I learned that the price proposed by Matsui Yukan was outrageous. He responded with a price of forty guan each. Not only that, but also equipped with a sufficient amount of gunpowder and iron cannon pellets. This price almost made Tsuda Muneji feel uncomfortable.  Fortunately, both parties are well-educated people. After arguing for a long time, they finally settled on the price of 60 guan for an iron cannon. Although the price increased by 50%, it was still much better than before, and it should be  There are a lot of things equipped.  Two days later, Tsuda Muneki brought new news. Tennojiya agreed to the offer, sixty guan each plus matching gunpowder and iron cannon pellets. Kira Yoshitoki quickly transferred the 18,000 guan currency stored in the bank.  To Tsuda Muneji, three hundred iron cannons subsequently entered the hands of the Kira family.  Yoshitoki Kira handed these 300 iron cannons to Takigawa Masushige, and told him not to be stingy with ammunition and to arm a qualified iron artillery team as soon as possible. Takigawa Masushige went directly to Saijo Bei with Kira Yoshitoki's order.  The generals with Akabi asked him to allocate two hundred and one hundred people to help form the iron artillery team. Several Ashigaru generals even went to Kira Yoshitoki for this matter, but he was finally suppressed by him. The new arms  You must go up, and you must obey orders no matter how much you have any objections.  For half a month, the sound of iron cannons rang from morning to night. From the beginning of target shooting, it turned into a tied up animal, a lively animal. According to Takigawa Masushige's calculations, the maximum range of the iron cannon was thirty days, and its effective range was two  Ten rooms, the best killing distance is fifteen rooms. The quality of the Sakai tube is comparable to or even slightly exceeds the level of the original Portuguese iron cannon. Of course, this original iron cannon is the original iron cannon that was born in the 12th year of Tianwen.  Entering June, Kira Yoshi felt that three hundred iron cannons were not enough, so he gritted his teeth and went to Tsuda Muneki and told him that the Kira family planned to order another two hundred iron cannons. However, Tsuda Muneki's conversation changed and he began to push back and forth.  He said that there was not enough supply, but later changed his story and said that it could be pre-ordered but it would take several months to get it because Sakai Town was also short of iron cannons.  "Tsuda Soki is lying! How could there be a shortage of goods in Sakai Town? They must have heard some rumors and suddenly stopped talking!" Kira Yoshitoki was keenly aware of the different tone of voice before and after Tennoji House, and immediately called Hattori Koshiro and asked:  "Tell me the recent news in Kinai, tell me everything." "Yes" Hattori Koushiro was confused. Just when he was about to speak, he suddenly stopped and looked outside. His father was already standing behind him.  "Father" "Step back! Shiro!" Hattori Chief drove his son out, then saluted and said: "Latest news, Hosokawa Keishouden led 3,300 people from his headquarters to attack the capital."?, whereabouts are currently unknown.  "    "What?  Out in battle?  Kira Yoshishi's eyes were like fire, he glared at Hattori, who was as silent as stone, and raised his voice: "Asshole!"  Hosokawa Harumoto is trapping the shogunate into injustice!  Is he crazy?  " Of course Hosokawa Harumoto is not crazy, but it is true that he was driven into a hurry. Since the first court meeting, Hosokawa Harumoto and Kira Yoshitoki have developed like ice and fire, earth and sky. Kira Yoshitoki soared into the sky and became  The most relied-upon general of the shogunate, Hosokawa Harumoto, went up and down, and his luck got worse and worse along the way. Kira Yoshitoshi only fought a less intense siege battle and gained 70,000 to 80,000 koku from the two counties of Omi.  The strength of the shogunate increased greatly, no longer relying solely on Hosokawa Harumoto, and then he quietly raised an army of 7,000 cavalry and became the first general of the shogunate. In contrast, Hosokawa Harumoto's influence was rapidly weakened, and he was even  Ashikaga Yoshito is gradually marginalized. This is probably the reason why Hosokawa Harumoto did not hesitate to go out and kick off the war. When Kira Yoshihiro roared in anger, Ashikaga Yoshito was also furious. The shogunate.  The fifteenth generation shogun almost dragged out the ancestors of the Hosokawa family and scolded them, including the famous shogunate Hosokawa Yoriyuki. Now there are only a hundred or so people guarding Nakao Castle, and even the defense force of Jishoji Temple has been transferred.  The fact that the Sakamoto Imperial Palace was completely handed over to Kira Yoshitoki showed how dangerous the shogunate was. If not for the fact that Kira Yoshitoki was still training hard as the main force, Ashikaga Yoshito would have been unable to help but mobilize the Kira family to defend Nakao Castle after venting the anger of his followers.  Ashikaga Yoshitš­ was not stupid either. Seeing that the final period of silence was finally broken by Hosokawa Harumoto, the man sitting in Nakao Castle also showed the courage of a general and sent out several imperial letters in succession. First of all, he appointed Kira Yoshitoki as the shogunate military representative.  He commanded the shogunate's army, and then issued a coordinated combat order to Rokkaku Yoshihide, mobilizing the army to the Yamashiro Kingdom within a month to cooperate with the shogunate's plan to seize Kyoto. The last order was to contact the people behind the Miyoshi family and call on those currently in the Miyoshi family's camp.  The people of Settsu, Izumi, Kawachi, Kii and other countries raised troops to fight against Miyoshi Chokei. This order was the most unreliable. Of course, Ashikaga Yoshito did not expect a miracle at all. It probably meant that it was better than nothing on June 10th.  , Hosokawa Harumoto conquered Koizumi Castle, causing a sudden change in the quiet wind direction of Kinai. The strange silence of the Miyoshi family and the constant movements from Settsu and Izumi made the people of Kinai breathless. Ashikaga Yoshitš­ successively sent envoys to contact  Echizen Asakura and Wakasa Takeda tried to persuade them to assist the shogunate in going out, but their attempts failed. The Asakura family's reason was that they were too tired to deal with Koga and were unable to go out. Wakasa Takeda was similar, but his reason was to resist Asakura.  The harassment from the family, these two families are really weird. In the assessment room of Akutagawa Mountain Castle, Miyoshi Changqing, who has just moved into this city, is still a little uncomfortable here. Looking at the high-spirited manners of the Miyoshi retainers,  The head of the Sanhao family smiled lightly and said, "Have you all seen it?  Hosokawa Harumoto went into battle, and it took three days to break through Koizumi Castle, a mountain city guarded by Chinese people. It was really not easy!  "    "snort!  I think he is getting more confused as he gets older!  Compared with the arrogance when Ishiyama Honganji Temple was almost destroyed ten years ago, tsk tsk!  "Sanhao Changyi said with a disdainful smile. Shihe Yicun, who was taking the lead with a strange moon shaved his head, clenched his fist and hammered the table, and yelled: "Hahabrother!  Hosokawa Harumoto dared to do something like starting the war lightly. Isn't this a good opportunity for our family?  Let me lead an army to kill all these clowns in one fell swoop!  "    "yes!  Please, my lord, let me go out into battle together!  "The three good retainers all fell in love. "Okay!  Your high morale is a blessing to our family!  How are the preparations at Zhikang?  " Facing Miyoshi Changqing's inquiry, Matsunaga Hide quickly replied: "His Royal Highness Yixian is gathering an army. The five thousand army will be assembled within ten days and will land in Kinei before June 20th.  "    "very good!  Then we will go out on June 25th!  The art of war is fifteen thousand, and you will be the general!  Let Mamoru Hinata be the deputy general!  "    "yes!  "Togawa Issun and Miyoshi Hyuga Shouchiu happily accepted the order, while Matsuhisa Nagahide stepped aside with a disappointed look on his face. After a while, he showed a gentle smile and congratulated the members of the two Miyoshi families.
