    Feeling that he had been deceived, Hatakeyama Takamasa immediately decided to break up with Ashikaga Yoshit身 and would never play with you again. A letter symbolizing the breakup of friendship was sent from Kawachi to Nijo Imperial Palace in Kyoto. Looking at this strange letter  , Ashikaga Yoshito looked surprised.  I read it twice carefully to make sure I read it correctly. I took the autographed letter from Hatakeyama Takamasa and said in a dumbfounded voice: "Breaking off friendship? What kind of bastard are you talking about? When did I get to know Hatakeyama Takamasa?" Ashikaga Yoshi  Fuji felt it was necessary to understand this guy's thoughts and sent an envoy from the shogunate to inquire about the situation. As a result, he was brutally driven back by the samurai of the Hatakeyama family as soon as he arrived at Takaya Castle. The samurai of the Hatakeyama family claimed that they would never believe His Highness K身kata.  Such an unreasonable action caused the shogunate's envoy to lose face and completely aroused the anger of Ashikaga Yoshit身. His Highness K身kata pointed in the direction of Kawachi in the south in Nijo Imperial Palace and cursed, which probably meant: "You  You don＊t have to drink wine as a penalty, I have troops and food now and I don＊t need you, you idiot.§ While the Kawachi family＊s funny family governor was having trouble with the shogunate, Kira Yoshitoki was busy practicing his spear skills.  The weather is getting colder in November, and Kira Yoshi is wearing a thin gown and dancing with a small plain spear. He has changed the long spear made of pure wood into a small plain spear because of his progress.  It was so fast that Yunlin Yuan Guangxiu had to train in advance and take out the small plain gun that should be used by him a year or even two years later.  Replacing a new gun requires getting familiar with the characteristics of the new gun. It would take an ordinary samurai one or two months to complete this process. Kira Yoshiki only took ten days to get through it. This was because he was busy with official duties and could not spend a day training at the training ground.  .  Otherwise, the speed will be a few days ahead.  At this time, more than half a year has passed since Tsukahara Buden arrived.  Kira Yoshitoki's height has grown even more.  He is eleven years old and has just turned ten. He is almost 1.4 meters tall. This height is enough to satisfy everyone. Some short warriors are only this height.  As Kira Yoshitoki's spear skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and his strength has also increased greatly, Watanabe Gengoro has gradually become unable to withstand Kira Yoshitoki's test. The two of them fought with guns and couldn't close, Watanabe Gengoro will inevitably be defeated.  .  His sparring partner became increasingly ineffective, and he set his sights on Shima Sakon, who was practicing hard with a spear.  After half a year of running-in, the Kira family's new army training gradually showed its tyrannical strength. The original Ashigaru long-barred troops could not withstand the powerful assault of the spear-shield team and the ax-shield team regardless of whether they used spear formations or gun quilts.  After months of exploration, Yamamoto Tokiyuki first proposed the idea of ??equipping two sets of weapons at the same time. That is, each reserve ashigaru would be equipped with a Fujiki shield and a one-handed battle ax in addition to the Tomaru formation, straw sandals and flag.  .  A long gun.  After testing, the effect of this combination is very good, and the effect of using a half-length spear is very good.  Paired with a vine shield, it is enough to support a forest of guns, and at the same time, it further brings out the tactical power of the gun quilt. Both the assault effect and the counter-assault effect are greatly improved, and the long gun can be inserted diagonally into the weapon belt behind the back during close combat.  Replacing it with a one-handed tomahawk has a more miraculous impact.  Another experiment turned out to be an abandoned mace staff. The original mace was shorter than a one-handed tomahawk. It had excellent armor-piercing ability but was limited by its short handle. However, the new mace staff effectively avoids this problem.  All in all, the one-meter-two-meter-long mace staff not only has a spiked hammer head that can break through armor, but also a pointed cone on the other side that can break through difficult and heavily armored enemies.  Because of their origins, the habit of wearing red armor was preserved. They were also called Akabi cavalry in the Kira family. The two hundred Mikawa samurai who were recruited a few months ago were also samurai who brought their own horse armor. They were also called the first  Time was incorporated into the red cavalry for training, and the armors of different colors were repainted red. A cavalry reserve team of 500 people was quickly integrated within a few months and showed good results.  Recently, Yoshitoki Kira has been worried about the problem of iron cannons. He has two types of iron cannons, one is a 300-piece Sakai tube, and the other is a Haquebusel matchlock originally from Spain. These two types of iron cannons are  Although these guns are all matchlock series, there is still a big difference between the Spanish matchlocks of origin and the Portuguese matchlocks produced in Sakai Town.  First of all, the Spanish matchlock gun weighs fourteen kilograms. This weight is enough to make any iron cannon unacceptable. In order to facilitate the aiming of the gun, the Spanish matchlock gun is specially equipped with a support frame to stabilize shooting.  The iron cannons passed down from Portugal in Japan are very light. The heaviest one does not exceed ten kilograms. The shorter iron cannons only weigh seven or eight kilograms. Moreover, compared with the Spanish matchlock guns, the iron cannons have an additional rotational speed.  The opening and closing disc cover design can prevent the ignition powder from scattering and flying sparks from causing a fire when the disc cover is closed. It has an insurance function to improve the reliability of the weapon.  The traditional single-leaf rotating disc cover of the Spanish matchlock primer is not the best optimization. It is inherited from the Sakai barrel of the Portuguese iron cannon and has a frame shape.The blade rotating disc cover is relatively more airtight and has the advantage of being fixed and durable. However, the Sakaitsu Iron Cannon also has the disadvantages of not using a shoulder-resistant butt, poor shooting stability, and the matchlock groove on the hammer.  There is no clamping device and it is inconvenient to use.  Kira Yoshi thought for a while and decided to ask craftsmen to optimize it. It would be best to combine two types of matchlocks to produce a brand new matchlock. The first thing he thought of was Kunitoyoubei of Omi Kunitomo Village, who was also a very famous iron gun.  As a gunsmith, ever since the Shimazu family came to Kyoto in the 13th year of Astronomy to present the Tanegashima tube to the shogunate, the former Lord Ashikaga Yoshiharu ordered Kuni Yuhei of Omi to be responsible for making iron cannons for the shogunate.  But unfortunately, Kunitomo Village is located in Sakata County on the east side of Kitaomi Lake Biwa. This is a very troublesome matter. Sakata County is the core area of ??the Asai family. The Asai family is currently subordinate to the Rokkaku family, so there is no need to worry too much.  The iron cannon he made was impounded, but he, the governor, could not take the advanced iron cannon to Kunyou Village for advice. That would be unsafe and unreasonable.  Moreover, the Hattori ninja carefully observed that Asai Hisamasa was quite hostile to Kira Yoshitsune. It was probably because the two Omi powers suddenly turned into the top three, which made him naturally a little disgusted. It may also be that Takashima County, which the Asai family coveted, was occupied.  for the sake of.  Kira Yoshitoshi could only send someone to ask Kuni Yuhei to meet with Sakamoto. This well-known craftsman had no airs. When he heard that Kira Yoshitoshi wanted to recruit him, he immediately put down what he was doing and rushed over.  I met this famous craftsman at Kiragi at Sakamoto Imperial Palace.  The two chatted for a while and then ran out of words.  The characteristic of craftsmen is that they are not good at beating around the bush.  Kuniyoshibei was not a person who was good at talking. What he was most afraid of was going around in circles, and he would be at a loss if he talked for a long time. He did not want to waste time, so he took out two kinds of iron cannons and handed them to Kuniyoshibei.  "These are the two iron cannons in our hands. Please work hard to see whether the two iron cannons can be improved." Kunibei looked at the two iron cannons carefully. To be more precise, he looked at them.  A type of iron cannon that I have never seen before.  Another type of Sakai gun he recognized at a glance, because many iron cannons were damaged due to improper operation or other reasons and were reworked and repaired.  Among the main businesses of Kunitomo Iron Gun House, iron cannon repair is a very important business. Kunitomo Yubei usually comes into contact with Tanegashima tube, Kishu tube and Sakai tube the most. He can even touch it with his eyes closed.  Explain the differences between several types of iron cannons.  The characteristic of Sakai tube is its fineness, both in terms of materials and workmanship. It is the first-class product in Japan. When it comes to the precision casting of mass-produced iron cannons, let alone Kuniyubei, it is Tanegashima of the Shimadzu family.  Yuki Ine's crowd was no match for the wealthy merchants of Sakai Town.  The mass-produced models of Sakaitsutsu are almost as good as the special models produced by the other three companies.  The biggest reason for this is cost control. The wealthy businessmen of Sakai Town can build high-end iron cannons at any cost.  The purpose is to gain profits as a political resource, while the other three companies reduce the quality of iron cannons for business purposes to ensure profit margins.  He had indeed never seen another type of iron cannon. This was not the common Nanman iron cannon, but a larger iron cannon. Kuni Yubei asked: "Your Highness Sakamoto! Where did this iron cannon come from?"  ? " "Another country from the Southern Barbarians is a new and powerful country, more powerful than the Southern Barbarian country where the iron cannon was introduced. I still have three of these iron cannons. I wonder if Zenbei can optimize them?  "You can give it a try!" Kuniyoshihei nodded and asked, "Can I take it back?" I thought he would definitely agree with it, but he unexpectedly shook his head.  Wei said: "I need you to move Kunitomo Village to the left." "Move the village? Why move the village?" Kunyubei was a little dizzy. People with a technical background naturally don't know what's going on.  "Because this is the territory directly under the jurisdiction of His Highness K身kata, and Sakata County is the territory of the Asai family who does not obey His Highness K身kata's orders. The shogunate has long been dissatisfied with the Asai family's disrespectful behavior, and as a member of the shogunate's family, I defend the shogunate.  "Are you still afraid that I will deceive you?" "Can I think about it? The decision to move the village is too sudden. I hope to go back and think about it before giving an answer to His Highness Sakamoto." Kunimihei said after a moment of silence.  Kira Yoshishi did not answer his request, but continued: "My family can allocate a new town to the southwest of Kanda Town, Shiga County, for Kunitomo Village. All the villagers of Kunyu Village, old and young, will move here. The relocation expenses will be paid by our family. You guys  Just bring the necessities and bring them here!" "He is currently short of an iron cannon expert for scientific research. There are only a few experts who are proficient in iron cannon forging in the entire Warring States period. If he cannot catch the Kuniyumi soldiers, it will be difficult to meet him in the future.  Such a great opportunity.  It was obvious that Kunitomo Hebei was moved by this attractive condition, but he still hesitated a little. Kira Yoshi added to the fire: "In addition, Kunitomo Village's production??Kuniyou iron cannons will be sold by Biwaya of Kira family in the future. In addition, the pig iron, wood, pure lead, and gunpowder required for forging iron cannons can also be purchased from Biwaya. Now you can feel at ease, right?  " "Pipa House sells it on your behalf?  Can I also purchase raw materials?  This is great!  "Kuniyu Bie, who is not good at words, couldn't help but get excited. He has also heard of Biwaya's name, and it would be great to cooperate with Biwaya. Of course he understands the meaning of selling on his behalf. Kunyumura will not have to wait anymore in the future.  When merchants place orders for production, as long as Kunyou Village pays a certain amount of iron cannons on time and Bipa House pays on time, the decoupling of manufacturing and sales will reduce their burden, and various raw materials can be purchased on behalf of others. This is simply the best thing to do.  The price was too attractive. Not only did he arrange a new village, but he also found a long-term job for the entire village. Craftsmen like him are not good at dealing with businessmen. He often encounters people with low moral character who say something about his iron cannon.  They blackmailed him over quality issues, or forcibly asked for his iron cannon casting methods. Various problems had caused him great distress. When Kiragi proposed preferential terms, he would completely eliminate all these problems, so he would not have to worry about blackmail or blackmail in the future.  The iron cannon cannot be sold, and he no longer has to worry about offending merchants and damaging his reputation in the future. After receiving this promise of treatment, Kunitomo Village moved without hesitation. It took only six days to move more than 700 yuan.  A villager took the Kira family's return boat and moved the entire village's belongings to Katada. After hearing the news, Asai Hisamasa rushed to nothing. When he received the news and arrived, Kunitomo Village was already empty. Obviously Asai  The family was in trouble. The angry Asai Hisamasa went to Rokkaku's house to accuse Kira Yoshi of illegal behavior, but he was very unlucky. At this time, Rokkaku Yoshihide didn't care about these nonsense. Rokkaku Yoshihide's father Rokkaku.  After being informed of the second critical illness, no one knows how many times the old man survived. Anyway, he and his old brother-in-law, Hosokawa Harumoto, were tortured to the point of death. Their eyes were swollen like goldfish. Asai Hisamasa looked at Rokkaku.  The family was in chaos and no one paid attention to him, so he could only return to Kotani Castle angrily. He didn't dare to mess with the Kira family, and Kira Yoshiki didn't look down on him, except when he scolded Kira Yoshi every day in the castle tower of Kodani Castle.  Other ideas are obviously redundant (to be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
