    The experiment on baking jade came out quickly. He only slightly adjusted the ratio of saltpeter and sulfur and left it to Kato Kyoaki. How to seal it with a clay pot and how to ignite it was his business, but this guy is really smart.  Borrowing a match rope from the iron cannon team solved this problem. The manufacturing process of baked jade was relatively slow and not suitable for large-scale mass production. Fortunately, he did not need mass production. This thing was too hot and it was best not to let people know about it.  At that time, Kira Yoshi ordered the iron artillery team to conduct on-board shooting training. He always believed that the iron artillery team should be matched with the navy. This was the best way in an era without artillery. According to the training situation reported by Takigawa Masushige, the iron artillery team  The artillery team has basically mastered the accuracy and rhythm of shooting, and the behavior of firing guns indiscriminately without listening to orders has basically disappeared. This is a good start.  The 300-man iron artillery team boarded 15 Kanbune ships, with exactly 20 people per ship. In order to strengthen the protective power of this armed force, Kira Yoshihiro ordered the Yodogawa people to prepare 20 small boats, with a total of 200 people who were good at water.  The fighting Yodogawa people carried bows and arrows to protect the surrounding area, and the fifty-man grenade team was also dropped into the navy to prepare for the battle.  Entering mid-July, as the weather gets hotter and hotter, after more than a month of confrontation, everyone's patience has been exhausted. Not only are the warriors very agitated, but even the peasants and soldiers under their command are also experiencing some commotion. The autumn harvest is coming, and these peasants and soldiers are one by one.  They were ready to return home, but the war was still going on. They could only complain in a low voice. The morale of the soldiers was in trouble, and some bad signs appeared that made Kansuke Yamamoto very worried.  It was already troublesome enough, but we also had to face the desperate urging of Ashikaga Yoshitš­. From the first three to two days, he sent a letter to one letter a day. The shogunate, who was not familiar with military strategy, issued urgent orders, asking him to defeat Shihe immediately.  Issun then came to Nakao Castle for rescue. The war was not as simple as he thought. Yoshitoki Kira had no hope for Ashikaga Yoshito's military capabilities and simply turned a deaf ear to his orders.  While Kira Yoshishi was busy training, Tokiyuki Yamamoto hurriedly came over and asked with a serious look: "Master, you are so calm! Do you know that the autumn harvest has started in Nankaido? It won't take a month.  The Mihaoshi family can send 10,000 or more troops. I almost fell into the trap of Mihaoshi Changqing!" "What!" Ji Liangyi stumbled in shock and asked hurriedly: "Isn't it true that everyone is here?  Are you waiting for the autumn harvest? Why is the Mihaoshi family so fast? Is it because the climate in Nankai Road is so warm and humid? " "It's because I was negligent! When I was young, I only wandered around Nankai Road for half a year, and I can't remember the scenery there.  If I hadn't accidentally compiled the records today, I wouldn't have remembered this! The Miyoshi family can increase their troops, but my family can't. If we compete with the Miyoshi family, our family will lose no matter what!" Yamamoto Tokiyuki waved his fist, looking angry!  Extremely.  "Does this mean a quick victory is necessary?" A sad-looking Kira Yoshishi sat in the military tent and asked himself: "How to win a quick victory? Is it possible for my family to forcefully cross the river to attack Shihe Icun? This  You are seeking death! I will never do such a stupid thing!" "Luring the enemy! We must lure the enemy deeper!" Kansuke Yamamoto walked to the sand table and looked at it carefully, and said, "We must lure the enemy over.  Only by crossing the river and attacking can we break the crisis." "Luring the enemy across the river?" Ji Liangyoshi stared at the red and blue flag on the sand table, and his confused expression gradually became firm: "Luring the enemy across the river?  Crossing the river! We must lure the enemy. For this, we are willing to do whatever it takes. Master, are you ready?" Facing Kiragi's scorching gaze, the wise general narrowed his one eye and asked in a low voice, "I have already decided whether to live or die.  Ignore it, but is it too dangerous for the master?" "Haha Fighting on the battlefield is nothing more than fighting for your life. I fight for the shogunate and the Kira family. If unfortunately Fushimihara dies in the battle, it will be me, Kira.  The spirit of the family has been exhausted, and I have no one to complain about!" Ji Liangyi closed his eyes and read loudly: "Buddha said: Zen when sitting, Zen when walking, one flower and one world, one leaf and one Tathagata, the flowers will become green in spring, and the leaves will come in autumn.  Floating, the mind of infinite Prajna is at ease, the speech is silent, the movement is natural, and the body is natural. ""The Buddha told Universal Bodhisattva: In the future, if there are good men or women who hear the name of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Mahasattva, they may put their palms together or praise him.  Those who perform rituals and admire others are those who have transcended thirty kalpas of sin." Yamamoto Tokiyuki put his palms together and prayed.  On July 24, Kira Yoshitoki led his retainers into the military camp and gathered 5,000 Omi people. Kuchiki Fujisuna stood under the high platform and sang loudly: "Kira Yakata-sama has arrived!" After announcing Kira Yoshitoki's name,  More than five thousand peasants and soldiers knelt down in awe.  It was very difficult for farmers in this era. He never intended to show off in front of these farmers. He stood directly in front of the high platform and asked in a gentle tone: "Who among you is an only son without a family? Whose child is still young and underage?"  Yes, please stand up and come to the front." The peasants and soldiers were a little at a loss. They didn't know what the noble man meant by asking this question. They looked up at the samurai gentlemen on the stage and said nothing.He was the stupid and bold one who stood up first. Gradually, many more people came forward sparsely. Looking at the humble expressions of the peasants and soldiers, Kira Yoshihi smiled and reminded Yamaoka Toshiro in a low voice: "The total number is about six or seven hundred people."  "I know!" Kira Yoshi held the ebony rosary in his hand. This was something he took out from his parents' belongings after his awakening last night. Her mother often held this rosary to pray for the peace of her family:  "The World-Honored One said: There are eight sufferings for human beings, namely the suffering of birth, the suffering of old age, the suffering of illness, the suffering of death, the suffering of separation from love, the suffering of meeting resentment and hatred, the suffering of not being able to seek, and the suffering of the five yin beings."  The four sufferings corresponded to the seven emotions and six desires, resentment, greed, and the five aggregates accumulated in the body, burning like fire. He wanted to use these eight sufferings to restrain the five thousand soldiers in front of him. After a moment of silence, Ji Liangyi said: "You all have no family fortune."  If you have parents at home and no brothers to look after you, your heirs will be extinct if you die in battle, so I decided to let you serve as our main formation to give you a chance of survival. " "What's the matter?  Will" The five thousand peasant soldiers seemed to be frightened by this formation. What does it mean to say life and death without fighting?  These farmers were a little frightened. They didn't know whether they should kneel down and kowtow to pray for their lives, or turn around and run away. Seeing the Mikawa warriors guarding each gate with stern expressions, some timid people had already begun to kneel down to pray for blessings from gods and Buddhas.  "War is a struggle to survive in death! This is the most terrifying Shura field in the world. The coward will perish here, and the brave will be reborn with blood! The more cowardly and fearful you are, the faster you will die. Not only will you die! Your family members will also die! Because  You died for your cowardice! Do you know that I see cowardice and despicability in you? You are worried about your own wealth, afraid of death, and just want to survive like a fly. Is that so?"  "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" More than 5,000 people mourned. Even Takashima Nanato on the stage was a little confused. Isn't it a waste of time to talk to a group of peasants and soldiers?  "Half of you will die on the battlefield. If the remaining half are lucky enough to escape back to their hometowns without encountering more pursuits, they will still face indiscriminate arrests by the Mihaoshi family I think you understand what indiscriminate arrests are.  "?" Kira Yoshi walked off the platform and slowly approached the crowd.  Arbitrary arrests are war and robbery, and rape and plunder are committed without hesitation. In normal wars, the generals of both sides will restrict excessive indiscriminate arrests, for example, only allow for dead enemies and defeated prisoners, or only allow insurrectionary arrests in villages and not enter castle towns where they can act recklessly.  Of course, there are also samurai families who do not follow the routine. For example, since Takeda Harunobu came to power, the Kai Takeda family has been very fond of random arrests and human hunting, and it is not uncommon for a city to be robbed.  "Ha! Hi!" The peasants and soldiers' random greetings were mixed with angry shouts. Those were the voices of ungrateful young people. Before they could speak, they were restrained by the middle-aged peasants and soldiers around them.  , and then gave those veterans stern looks, and immediately calmed down.  "Is it all over to escape back home? No! It's far from that easy! The Sanhao family's army will launch a random arrest in your village, harvest all the food in your fields, and steal your last ration. If you are lucky,  If not, your wives and daughters will still be occupied, and if you try to resist, you will only be killed By the way, if the Miyoshi family discovers the dome balls and bamboo guns with the Ashikaga family crest, you will not be the only ones who die.  Your family will be beheaded, and your house will be burned down. "Ah! I'm going to fight with them, you bastards!"  They stood up and shouted angrily: "One Kui! Tyranny!" "One Kui! One Kui! One Kui!" One, two, three Gradually, all five thousand people stood up, they held up the long handles in their hands, and roared angrily.  For hundreds of years, Toichi Ikui's blood seeped into their blood, and the Toichi Ikui who protected the daimyo's indifference to the people's power and forced taxation caused terror. The Garan of the famous temple in Kyoto was burned down, forcing the shogunate and the court to lower their noble heads. Kajichi Tuichi had just passed away.  century.
