Oda Nobunaga felt that he had made a lot of money, and just an insignificant belief could bring so many benefits.
She issued decrees in a timely manner, abolished tax offices, dredged trade routes, and made the city happy.
Although the demolition of the tax checkpoint harmed the interests of the local samurai family, it injected vital commercial vitality into the Oda family and will receive continuous returns.
Oda Nobunaga knew very well that he was a shallow believer at best, and Honnoji Nichigen did not expect her to never abandon the Nichiren Sect.
The original deal between the two was to provide refuge for Nichiren Sect followers. He also wants to take revenge on the Tendai Sect and the Ichigo Sect in the future, and avenge the Buddhist tribulations that the Nichiren Sect has experienced.
Honnōji Nichigen worked hard for her and strengthened the power of the Oda family, which was also the power that made the Oda family inseparable from the Nichiren sect believers.
If Oda Nobunaga wants to get help from these devout believers at all costs, he must fulfill his promise and not break it.
This is a tacit understanding between both parties.
Oda Nobunaga stepped forward, grabbed the iron cannon from Ashigaru's hand, played with it happily, and asked.
"How much does this iron cannon cost?"
The workshop practitioners on the side responded respectfully.
"Go back to Your Highness, Wu Guan."
"Five Guan?"
Oda Nobunaga looked at her in disbelief. After getting the definite answer, he cursed at the sky in the direction of Sakai Port.
In order to build her own iron cannon, she spent a lot of money to buy iron cannons at Sakai Port. Each one cost 35 guan, and it was a discounted price for large quantities of shipments!
Now that I know the cost, I immediately hate the profiteers in Sakai Port. When she takes control of Sakai Port one day, those guys must pay the price!
After she calmed down, she asked.
"Why is it so cheap?"
The pursuit of the workshop is sincere.
"Your Highness, the iron cannon originated from Tanegashima. At that time, it sold for one hundred guns.
Later, the formula and craftsmen were deceived by Sakai Port, and they cooperated with Kii people to open a workshop, and the craftsmanship has been improving.
In fact, the technology of iron cannons has become much more mature, and the cost has naturally dropped. Therefore, the Kii people were able to equip iron cannons on a large scale for combat.
And don’t look at the iron cannon, which only has five guns. The relevant projectiles, gunpowder, and match ropes all need to be equipped, and these consumables also need to be manufactured.
Outsiders don't understand these craftsmanship, and they only earn ten times their price. In the tight supply of military supplies, it is not considered greedy. "
Oda Nobunaga's face twitched, she was the kind of ignorant person who was taken advantage of before.
she asked again, pointing at the target.
"I feel like the target is far away, more than twenty steps away."
Answer with a bow.
"Your Highness is wise, the craftsmanship of iron cannons is improving, and the killing range can almost reach the level of bows and arrows.
It's just that the accuracy is not as good. If you want to hit a person accurately, you still need several iron cannons to fire in volley. "
Oda Nobunaga nodded, ignored her, and fell into deep thought alone.
The previous iron cannon had a range of fifty steps, and only a salvo at a distance of twenty steps could guarantee a hit.
The range of a bow and arrow is eighty paces, and accurate shooting requires fifty paces.
If the killing range of iron cannons can reach eighty steps of a bow and arrow, then a row of iron cannons can fire a salvo without precision, and they can still cause a barrage of damage at fifty steps.
The lethality of armor-piercing cannons is far greater than that of bows and arrows.
Moreover, after a month of training, Ashigaru can go into battle. It is a far more useful consumable than the Hime Samurai.
She raised her head and looked around her. Those who came with her to observe were her direct ministers.
"Mori Katsunari, how is your training with the Ashigaru?"
Sen Kecheng bowed.
“It’s a bit difficult to report back to Your Highness.
The three and a half long spears you requested are too heavy for the Ashigaru. "
Generally, the spear used by Ashigaru is two and a half ken, and the spear used against the knight on horseback is only three ken in length.
Oda Nobunaga actually asked his direct reserve team Ashigaru to train in the use of three and a half super long guns, which gave Mori Katsunari and Kawajiri Hidetaka a headache.
Oda Nobunaga sneered.
"I have given them jobs, salaries, and opportunities for advancement, so why are they dissatisfied?
If you can't do it, get out of here! There are many people who want to come in. Those Ashigaru who cannot form a spear array with three and a half spears before the autumn harvest, I will drive them all out! "
"Hi!"
Oda Nobunaga is not a good man and a believer in women. If she gives benefits to the Ashigaru, she must squeeze out all their potential.
Why carry out military reform if it has no effect? It’s better to keep going as usual!
She had a vague expectation in her heart. The ultra-long spear formation composed of ashigaru would protect the iron cannon ashigaru and shoot at the oncoming enemy troops.
Using the aggressive ashigaru of the Oda family, coupled with super long guns and iron cannons, they are enough to defeat any samurai army!
She glanced at the group of direct ministers, including the leaders of her mother-in-laws and the leaders of the standing army.
To achieve this goal, it is necessary to abandon the samurai's traditional mobilization reserve team and form off-the-job reserve teams. Only by using off-the-job professional ashigaru can we effectively use super long guns and iron cannons.
The system of territorial mobilization is too backward. Ji warriors should not be lords, but commanders under her command. Let them fight wherever they go.
The more Oda Nobunaga thought about it, the more proud he became. His eyes turned into crescent moons, imagining the bright future.
The power of the Oda family should become my pawns to win the world for me.
Step by step, we must slowly transform them.
———
In Owari, Oda Nobunaga is solidifying the regiment system in her mind. In Echigo, Uesugi Teruhu also got what he wanted in violence.
Seeing that two important ministers, Nagao Masaki and Usami Sadamitsu, died in mysterious circumstances, the Echigo samurai finally felt scared.
These days, Yoshihiro Shiba and Teru Uesugi are spending a lot of money and giving out benefits. I am afraid that each family will not accept it, and I am afraid that each family will not agree with the integration of Echigo.
This seemed to give the Echigo warriors an illusion that they seemed to be awesome?
Now, Uesugi Teruhu used the most ruthless means to kill two family faction leaders who were not worthy of death.
Let these hot-headed warriors cool down so that they can understand their situation clearly.
Your aunt is your aunt after all, don’t be too arrogant.
Sibo Yiyin watched with cold eyes and did not intervene. Since entering Echigo, he has always been in conflict.
I want to share the power passed down from Uesugi Teruhu. He also didn't want to make any emotional commitment to her to prevent chaos in the future.
But as the cooperation between the two companies deepens, the scale becomes increasingly difficult to grasp.
Because he didn't want to express his position, he had to be naked to scare off the admirer Uesugi Teruhu.
As a result, Uesugi Teruhu had no choice but to use his own method, turning around and holding the butcher knife high, using blood to scare the Echigo samurai family not to interfere in the emotional dispute between the two governors.
The problem seemed to be solved, but in fact it was just delayed. As the entanglement between the two families deepens, more and more explosives will be piled up.
One day, the problems that have been covered up will blow up the hypocritical male cousin Shiba Yiyin.
And Shiba Yiyin really couldn't think of a solution, so he could only bury his head and pretend to be an ostrich, and get over it first.
During the off-season after the summer harvest, he left the imperial palace and returned to Tongwei Castle in Central Vietnam to inspect the 150 imperial lords selected by Honcho Shimancho.
