Yiyin sighed and said.
"I'm here for the guns on their ship."
All the Ji warriors looked puzzled. Takada Yono, who was most familiar with Nanman ships, thought about it and asked carefully.
"The Lord is talking about the collapse of the country?"
Yiyin smiled awkwardly.
"Yes, yes, it's the collapse of the country."
Kokubō is a stone fire arrow made by the Portuguese for the Kitakyushu samurai clan. It is said that the sound of cannons can cause the sky to collapse and the earth to break apart. A battle can cause the collapse of the country's fate, so it is called Kokubō.
There are also rumors that the people of the island country cannot actually cause the collapse of the country.
The so-called collapse of the country actually came from the three-pound eagle cannons unloaded from the Portuguese merchant ships. The Kyushu daimyo used the body of his own son to obtain three of them from the Portuguese.
Tanegashima and Kii Kuni once tried to enlarge the caliber of their iron cannons in the hope of imitating the collapse of the country, but they all failed in the end. The enlarged version of the giant matchlock gun does not have the destructive power of the country's collapse.
Nanman merchants traveled far by ship, and the ship was always equipped with several small cannons to drive away pirates. Although it cannot keep up with the number and caliber of artillery on battleships, it is enough in this Far East island country.
Yiyin accidentally said something about artillery, but no one understood it. But when Takada Yono talks about the collapse of the country, everyone has heard of it.
Kamojigo said.
"It turns out that the lord wants the two southern barbarians on board the country to collapse, so we can kill them for lese majeste, confiscate their merchant ships and the country will collapse.
According to their crime of intercepting the master's ox cart, Sanhao Pass had nothing to say. "
Yiyin glanced at Pu Sheng's hometown and thought to himself, you girl has such a dark heart. Do you hate them so much?
When the villagers of Kamousheng clan remembered the look in the eyes of these two southern barbarians when they saw Yiyin for the first time, they became angry and wanted to poke their eyes out.
Although the people of the island country are amazed by Yiyin, they at least know their dignity and restrain their emotions. Unlike those southern barbarians, the naked desire in their eyes made the Hamo clan want to just draw their swords and hack them to death.
Yiyin shook his head.
"It's not that simple.
Guobeng is not an iron cannon. The amount of gunpowder loaded and the control of the ballistics require specially trained gunners.
You can kill them and confiscate their ships and cannons. But we can’t use it without Nanman’s technical staff.
If you don't use the National Collapse properly and it explodes in your own hands or in the queue, you'll be in trouble. "
Yiyin knew that the solid bullets of this era were not very powerful, but the island turtles would wet their pants whenever they saw the scene of cannons plowing fields. If it hits your own formation, it will directly collapse the army.
Ii Naomasa frowned.
"Since it is difficult to control, why would the Lord rely on such a weapon beyond his control to fight?
The Shiba family has the most heroic Ji warriors who are willing to fight to the death for you. "
Yiyin took a look, he was young and his tone was not small, he said.
"There are Nanman people who are helping the Oda family train the combined battle formation of spears and iron cannons. If one day the Shiba family wants to fight against the Oda family's spears and iron cannons, how should they deal with it?
After seeing these two southern barbarians, I suddenly thought that if it was really necessary, we could hire southern barbarians to join the war and destroy the country. "
Yiyin's words are not nonsense.
What the Spanish phalanx feared most was artillery bombardment, and the Spanish army's flanks were often equipped with cavalry to attack the artillery positions and protect the phalanx.
But on this island country, the Oda family couldn't afford the Spanish phalanx, so they could only build a beggar's version. Yoshihiro also couldn't build artillery, but they could hire Nanman merchants to pull a few into battle.
Small pounders on merchant ships are a joke in European wars, but they can still fight against the beggar's phalanx of island countries.
After all, most islanders have never seen artillery, and the possibility of morale collapse is high.
Yiyin's words made the Ji warriors doubtful. The iron artillery of the island country has not yet spread, and few people have seen the scene of the country's collapse, making it difficult for them to believe Yiyin's statement.
Are the long spears and iron cannons of the Oda family so difficult to deal with? Is the collapse of the Nanman people's country so fierce?
Ke Yiyin has been victorious in every battle since he entered the battle, and is regarded as an undefeated military god by Warrior Ji.
He categorically said that he would use the southern barbarians' kingdom to defeat the Oda family's spear and iron cannon formation. Everyone could only believe it and did not dare to refute.
Speaking of this, Yiyin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the deception was over. But Takada Yono frowned and said.
“My lord, Lilu’s merchant ships ply the sea and visit the island country at most twice a year.
Focusing on them military and national affairs, what should they do if they happen to be away from Japan or are in trouble at sea? "
Yiyin almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He had finally managed to deceive these silly women who were obsessed with murder and arson. Takada Yono's good words can make all the girls shake and doubt.
I just want to have sex with foreign girls, and I'm too lazy to make up any more stories! Yiyin pretended to be displeased and said with a straight face.
"Military and national affairs are not as simple as you think. The more you accumulate in daily life, the more confident you will be in wartime.
I'm just paying a small favor to prepare a back-up, but I may not really expect to use it.
The problems between the Shiba family and the Oda family have not yet reached the point where they need to be resolved through war. This is just an insurance. "
Yiyin's words were a bit unreasonable, but since he was the boss and he was obviously not willing to continue talking about this topic, everyone naturally dropped the topic.
Takada Yono lowered his head and pursed his lips, feeling that something was wrong. The master suddenly became a little cold towards her, and seemed to have some objections to her.
Yoshigan just got interested and wanted to change his taste, so he forced Takada Yono into a corner. Coupled with what happened to Yuigahama Yui before, my mood will certainly not be good.
Is it so difficult for Your Highness, who is more than ten thousand people, to hunt for wild food? Do I have to explain it to you women again and again?
The scene was tense, and Yiyin didn't want anyone else to intervene and embarrass herself again, so she simply picked up the topic on her own.
He looked at Imai Munehisa, who was sitting cautiously in the back row, and smiled.
"Yano, is she the Imai Munehisa that you always mentioned, who tried his best to help you in Sakai Port?"
Takada Yoshino was still wondering where he had offended his master, when he suddenly heard his master ask a question and nodded subconsciously.
"Hi, she is Imai-hime."
Imai Munehisa was sitting cautiously at the end, watching the gods fight, but unexpectedly, Yoshigan stood her up with just one word.
She quickly stepped out of the queue, bowed, and said tremblingly.
"Sakai Minato Imai Munehisa, greeting Tsuta-don. Good night, Your Highness."
Yiyin laughed when he saw her cautious look.
"I remember I rewarded you with twenty stones of Beida and Zhixingdi. Why don't you call me your vassal?"
It was also the first time for Imai Munehisa to see Yoshigan Shiba in person. Although he was amazed by his master's appearance, he was even more afraid that he would behave carelessly and cause big trouble.
All the concubines in front of her were the pillars of the Sibo family. How could she, a businessman who joined the business halfway, dare to gasp loudly in front of them.
She heard clearly just now that the heads of the two reckless Nanman women had rolled three times on the tip of the knife and almost died.
In front of them are high-level Wu families who kill without batting an eye. In their eyes, those who are not from the Wu family are not considered human beings.
Imai Munehisa was also cautious and did not dare to call himself a subordinate casually, so as not to attract dissatisfaction from any lord.
Back then, Takada Yono first came to Sakai Port and approached Imaiya. Imai Sohisa was also captured by her using both soft and hard tactics.
However, Takada Haruno's expansion in Sakai Port was not understood by the Shiba retainers group. Nizi Katsuhisa and Akechi Mitsuhide secretly made a stumbling block.
In order to support Takada Haruno, it was Yoshigashi Shiba who gave Imai Munehisa twenty koku Tomoyo and promoted her to a Hime warrior.
He also deducted the profits of Mitsuhide Akechi and Yukimori Yamanaka's 1,000-stone quarry each with his backhand, and rewarded them to the Takada sisters, which shocked the family's dissent.
A businessman has no military merit, but through the crooked ways of business, he is lucky enough to join the martial arts family. I don’t know how many people secretly dislike it. Of course Imai Munehisa has to keep a low profile.
However, Yiyin didn't like her low profile.
Yiyin has decided to keep a low profile, avoid direct conflict with the Oda family, and enhance the influence of the Shiba family among samurai families in the world by promoting Shiba's new life.
In the final analysis, the competition between the Shiba family and the Oda family is still a duel of economic strength.
Oda Nobunaga used the reform system, squeezed and improved economic capabilities, and strengthened his own mobilization power. This was the overlord's strategy to become stronger as the war progressed.
Yiyin, on the other hand, improved the living standards of the Shibabu family through economic construction, strengthened its influence in the samurai family, and established the image of a loving father as the father of the samurai family who loves the samurai family.
The paths of both sides seem to be running in opposite directions, but in fact they are still fighting for the economy, money and food, and neither can last long. They are both going further and further down the road of drinking poison to quench thirst.
In order to reflect the superiority of life in Shiba, Yiyin needs the continued and stable development of the Hokuriku Road trade route. Let the Sibo Zhong Fund gain profits from it and satisfy the new life movement in the Sibo territory.
Imai Munehisa is a very important person. She is one of the largest businessmen in Sakai Port. She is an effective subordinate of Takada Haruno and the main trader of the Hokuriku Road trade route.
If the Siba family wants to change the traditional thinking of military conquest by the Wu family and spread Siba's new theory of peaceful development and true happiness, they need a role model.
Just like when Oda Nobunaga established Hideyoshi Hashiba as the representative of the Zu clan in order to innovate the military and increase the enthusiasm of Ashigaru.
Yiyin also needs to establish a representative figure in the economy. Imai Munehisa should not be a lowly businessman who sneaked into the ranks of the samurai family, but should be a rich man from the samurai family.
He took a deep look at Imai Munehisa, this pampered big businessman. . It's well maintained. .
Yiyin shook his head and laughed at himself. What's going on today? I was intrigued by the European and American style. Look, everyone is thinking that way.
Imai Munehisa was frightened by Yoshigan's words and bowed his head.
"I was negligent. Please forgive me, my lord."
Yiyin glanced at the Ji warriors sitting there and said.
"You're not negligent, you're too cautious. Keep your head up! Look at me!"
Imai Munehisa was subconsciously drunk by Yoshigan, and looked directly at the boy who was as handsome as a god in front of him.
Yiyin said.
"Yes, that's it, be more confident. You are already a Ji warrior, what are you afraid of?
You are my retainer, not a southern barbarian merchant. Even if Zhixing only has twenty stones, you are still a noble martial artist. The Wu family has its own laws, and no one can just push you out and behead you.
In the Shiba family, as long as the Ji warriors work for me, even the most desolate servant in the poorest village, can be protected by the Shiba family.
Even if the businessmen passing by have great wealth, they still have to kowtow to Lord Hime Samurai because they are humble and cannot be offended by the noble white flag of the Genji and the Shiba family crest behind them.
Therefore, those businessmen were in awe, envious, and desperately wanted to squeeze in.
They donate money, they show kindness, and they give thanks, all in order to enter the circle of the Wu family and enjoy the glory that money cannot buy.
You are lucky and capable, and Takada Yono appreciates you. Once you join the establishment and gain knowledge, you should regard yourself as a member of the Wu family, rather than continuing to regard yourself as a businessman.
You are a member of the Shiba family, and there is a powerful Shiba family behind you. You must use your expertise to serve the Shiba family, do your best for the family business, and be a warrior Ji with your head held high.
Work hard and let everyone see that the Wu family can stop being poor and reckless women. There are also wealthy Ji warriors who are good at managing money and can live a good life. "
Yoshigan's words made Imai Sokaku very happy. In fact, she had been hesitating between the two identities of businessman and samurai.
The merchants are rich and humble, the samurai are poor and noble, and Imai Munehisa, a warrior who was born as a big businessman, is rich and noble.
This made her feel uneasy. Neither party regarded her as a similar person, nor did she know how other martial arts families would view her.
Kogi Gin's western tour of Sakai Port defined her situation in a formal occasion, and also expressed his stance towards the Shiba family's Hime Warriors.
Poverty should not be a label for the Wu family. This is consistent with what he said in Duowen Mountain City.
Instead of throwing large sums of supplies into the bottomless pit of war, it is better to use them for economic construction of the Spo family. This is the strategic line of the Spo family.
To affirm Imai Munehisa is to set her up as a model. Let the Shiba retainers see that they can also live a wealthy and noble life, just like Imai Munehisa.
Imai Munehisa passed the certification of Yiyin and was no longer an outlier among the samurai family. And Yoshihiro also affirmed the positive significance of Hime warriors like Imai Munehisa who are good at financial management to the Shiba family business.
Imai Munehisa, who had let go of his worries, was filled with gratitude to the master in front of him and respected him like a god.
She kowtowed to the ground and choked with sobs.
"I am willing to dedicate myself to the Sibo family to repay the Lord's kindness!"
Yiyin nodded.
"You have done well over the years and I am very satisfied.
According to the imperial edict, Imai Mune has been loyal to the emperor for a long time and has been granted the title of Peking University and Eighty Stones. "
Imai Mune kowtowed to the ground for a long time.
"I thank you for your kindness."
Yiyin smiled.
"The sum of your knowledge and actions is only a hundred shi, and it may not be as good as the business profits you make in one day. Don't think I'm stingy."
Imai Munehisa raised his head and said solemnly.
"Your Majesty is joking.
Knowing and doing is an official job, and working as a merchant is just an errand to serve the Sibo family. I know very well which one is fundamental and will not be confused. "
Yiyin nodded with satisfaction. This retainer who was a big businessman was very smart. She had already understood the reason why Yiyin deliberately elevated her status and corrected her own position.
Yoshigan positions himself as the guardian of the Samurai family, and opposes Oda Nobunaga, an innovator, so he will naturally not let merchants climb on top of the Samurai family.
What he wants to create is a beautiful life for Samurai Hime, and he positions Imai Munehisa as a rich man of the samurai family. This is the fundamental principle that must be determined.
