It is said that Tokawa Icun is a very young samurai, less than 20 years old this year, but he showed a strong desire to attack in the Battle of Jiangguchi. When killing the enemy, he often charged forward without thinking about his own life, and he liked to protect the enemy. He took off the bag on his head and killed the enemy with his disheveled Tsukiyo head straight, thus earning the name "Oni Juga" in Miyoshi's family. Maybe after staying with his two brothers for a long time, Shihe Yicun also learned some tricks from his ears and eyes, but his methods stopped there. After several provocations, there was no result, and Shihe Yicun immediately stopped. No matter how he puts on a show, it's not that he doesn't want to put on a show, but that Miyoshi Changqing heard about his deeds of having a banquet in front of the battle, and sent Miyoshi Yasunaga to scold him, which also exposed his deeds of leaving the camp to hunt eagles privately. Miyoshi Yasunaga was very sad and angrily rebuked Shiga for not knowing how to make progress. He also warned him that young people should cherish their lives and not lose their morale by playing with things. It is the ethics of the samurai family to eat more brown rice and pickled radishes. Wine can only be drunk during sacrifices and celebrations. , but before he finished speaking, he heard Shihe say the name of Miyoshi Yasujun in a nonchalant manner. Miyoshi Yasutoshi also participated in the hawk hunting and was one of the main force in the hawk hunting. The guy who got drunk after the hawk hunting and shouted for another round was Miyoshi Yasunaga's precious son. This elder of the Miyoshi family was at that time He became angry from embarrassment, gave Shihe Yicun a vicious look, and went to Shenglong Temple City to teach his son a lesson. After a long confrontation for more than half a month, Kira Yoshitoki did not do anything. For example, he secretly contacted the Su Lao underground people in Kyoto City, hoping to use their strength to fight against the Miyoshi family, and killed more than a hundred people in the street through Miyoshi Changyi. After his bad behavior, the Sanhao family now has a very bad reputation. It's just that these underground people are too timid to come forward, which almost cost him a lot of money. In the end, they gave a very strange answer. These people were willing to join forces with the Kyoto community to come forward to strictly prevent rebels from entering Kyoto to arrest people or set fire to the city. No matter who wins or loses, they must refuse to allow defeated soldiers to enter Kyoto. When they saw this answer , Kira Yoshitoki was really dumbfounded: "What kind of reply is this? Don't let the defeated soldiers enter Kyoto? Does this have anything to do with my family? I have convinced them." Fortunately, there are not illogical people in Kyoto. The members of the Hehe congregation secretly offered 200 guan of Yongle money in the hope that the Kira family would have a long military career. Of course, they also offered 300 guan of Yongle money to Shihe Icun. This kind of unscrupulous businessman naturally likes to please both sides, and his philosophy of life is that he must not sinner. Unwilling to be reconciled, Kira Yoshihi contacted the Gozangoji Temple, Toji Temple in Kyoto, Daitokuji Temple, Myoshinji Temple and other temples outside Kyoto, hoping that they would provide joint support. After all, this was a fight for the cause of the shogunate, and everyone had money. Some people support him with money, and those with no money support him. In the end, the great monk also cried with him about his poverty. He could hardly lift the pot and was waiting for the shogunate to defeat Miyoshi and take back their lost temple collar to cook. "How can this be done? Everyone is crying and saying that they have no money. It's really terrible!" There is no one in Kyoto who can help, so Kira Yoshitoki can only find a way to solve the problem. One day, Yamamoto Tokiyuki found Kira Yoshi who was thinking hard. , asked him about the homemade gunpowder he mentioned last time: "The master of the museum mentioned the issue of homemade gunpowder last time, but I have always kept it in mind. I wonder how the master of the museum can make homemade gunpowder?" "What is the best way to make gunpowder? ! Isn¡¯t it just one nitrate, two sulfur, and three charcoal? It should be the other way around! It doesn¡¯t seem right! I think about it again.¡± Kira Yoshiki remembered that there was more saltpeter and sulfur than charcoal. a bit less. "I remembered! It seems to be 75% saltpeter, 15% sulfur, and 10% charcoal! The specific method should be forget it! I'd better find someone to test it!" Looking at Yamamoto Tokiyuki's confused expression, He decided to do it himself anyway. The preparation method of black powder was not a secret to him. The only problem to worry about was that Japan did not produce saltpeter. The imported saltpeter was very expensive and uneconomical. Spending a lot of money to get some saltpeter of unknown origin from the Japanese pirates made him stressed. It's very big, and besides, the area around Hizen Province's Hirado Port, where the Japanese pirates were based, is more than a thousand miles away from Kyoto, which is not even far away. It's not impossible. He still remembers the method of making soil saltpeter. Mix toilet soil, stable soil and plant ash, then add water to boil it. After several processes such as stirring, filtering, heating and filtering, you can get the required high-quality saltpeter. Concentrate soil and nitrate solution, then add charcoal and sulfur particles and wait for them to dissolve and dry on their own, turning into granular gunpowder. Naturally, testing new gunpowder requires testing. He decided to test the iron artillery team first. The power of the new granular gunpowder would be known by trying it. The unsuspecting iron artillery team became his guinea pig. During several rounds of test firings, Many jokes were made. The explosion of the new granular gunpowder was much more violent than that of ordinary gunpowder. The white smoke emitted suddenly enveloped the front and formed a haze. At that time, a few timid guys were scared to the ground, saying that it was a monster coming. . Takigawa Masushige held a piece of rotten wood as thick as the mouth of a bowl and said in disbelief: "Master! This what kind of gunpowder is this? How can it be so powerful?" Kira Yoshishi said proudly: "This is How about the gunpowder we bought from the Nanman merchant? Isn't it awesome?" Takigawa Masushige threw away the rotten wood that had been broken into two pieces, wiped the sweat from his head and said, "It's really awesome! It's a bit too powerful. "Remember, don't talk about the secret weapon!" "Don't let me know! The Nanman businessman must have taken a lot of risks if such secrets were leaked!" Takigawa Masushige has also seen some things in Sakai Town. Occasionally there will be Nanman people, but their whereabouts are rather strange, and they also like to sell some strange things, so they are not very popular. "Okay! I won't talk to you anymore! I'm leaving!" Leaving behind a pack of specially made granular gunpowder, Kira Yoshiki rushed back with his men without stopping. This time he had a better idea, that is, baking. Jade! He found Ashigaru Bantou Kato Kyouaki. It is said that he was also very interested in gunpowder weapons. He would hang out with Takikawa Masushige when he had nothing to do. He also often went to the navy to call himself a brother. According to him, he claimed to be omnipotent, but according to the It is more appropriate to observe that everything is sparse. "Isn't roasted jade one of the things that the Mishima navy in Seto is best at? It is said that the method of making roasted jade has always been a secret!" Kato Kyouaki is quite good at it, in a small place like Mikawa You can also know about the Mishima Navy, which is not comparable to the country people. They can't even distinguish the southeast from the northwest after leaving Mikawa. How can they know what is Setouchi and what is the Mishima Navy. Kira Yoshishi immediately made a big cake for him: "Yes! I want to make baked jade, and I will leave it to you to lead it when it is made!" "Great! Thank you, Master! How many people are there in the team? "Kato Jiaoming looked at him expectantly. "Fifty people! From the Ashigaru Bantu to the Grenadier Bantu, it will be directly under the management of the main family." Kato Kyoaki used to be the Ashigaru Bantu in charge of thirty people. Although he changed positions, he was still the Bantu, but he added twenty more When a person can directly report to Kiragi, his status is obviously higher than that of an ordinary ashigaru general. If his immediate boss is the governor of the house, it means he has a bright future.
