Because the manufacturing level of iron cannons in most remote areas of Japan is very backward, no one can make them at all, so the price of iron cannons in these areas remains high, and Yamada Nagamasa keenly discovered this, so whenever the goods arrived, he sent more than a dozen cronies, each carrying a few or more than ten iron cannons mixed in the caravan, to the remote areas to sell.

Don't look at the iron cannon is no longer a rarity in and other regions, as long as you have money, you can buy it, but in the hands of the daimyo in the remote areas, it becomes a treasure, and there is nothing more pleasing than strengthening the strength of the family in this era of war.

Although it is said that more than ten iron cannons can not cause much damage to the enemy, but it has played an absolute deterrent effect, in those areas the vast majority of people have not seen such advanced weapons, often as soon as the fire can scare the enemy into scattering, and then as long as the subsequent pursuit, you can win, and the battle will become much simpler, such a good thing can be exchanged for only a part of the funds, and who can not be tempted.

So once the iron cannon appears in those remote places, it will often cause a lot of crazy robbery, you don't, okay, then just wait for repeated defeats, wait for destruction.

Want to grab it? It's a pity that in addition to being very shrewd, the merchants who sell iron cannons also have a convoy, although the number of guards is small, but it is elite, and it is not at all that those small forces can be destroyed, and before you can destroy people, those iron cannons will flow into the hands of your opponents, so that no one dares to make a bad idea.

The price of iron cannons in these areas is also a liter of rising, the highest time, an iron cannon sold to a high price of 100 guan, even in general, an iron cannon can be sold for about 70 guan, and there are already several remote forces have reached a long-term cooperation agreement with the sparrow house, so through several years of development, the iron cannon has become an important economic source for the Gaoshan family and outside the gaming industry.

Tens of thousands of dollars of income a year, if it is just gone. The clan has to die of distress, and once it loses this income, it will greatly restrict the development of the family. So no matter how tight the time is, the clan has to find time to meet Brut Karl. Let's see what kind of medicine he bought in his gourd.

And he must continue to cooperate with Carl, once such a partner is lost, it is not so easy to find Terra.

Thinking of this, he only heard Shizong speak: "Okay, I'll go and meet Carl to see what tricks he wants to play." ”

After listening to the lord's decision. Yamada Nagamasa finally breathed a sigh of relief, except for the Takayama clan, he was the one who didn't want to lose his cooperation with Brut & Carl, this iron cannon trade was one of his important political achievements, how could he easily give it up.

"I wonder when the lord plans to leave?"

"I'll leave today." It's still early, and the clan doesn't want to delay another day.

It's easy to say, but it's not so easy to get to Kaimachi from here, although Kaimachi is not within the range of Miyoshi's power. But it is completely surrounded, and if it is replaced by someone else, just pay a little attention. Don't worry too much, but it's not so easy to change the clan.

After the last battle, the clan can be regarded as offending the Miyoshi family miserably, and the people of the Miyoshi family now hate him more than Matsunaga Hide, and what Matsunaga Xiu did at most limited the development of the Miyoshi family, but the Takayama clan stifled the hope and future of the Miyoshi family.

If the people of the Miyoshi family find out that the clan has entered the territory of the Miyoshi family, then what they are facing must be a battle to the death, not a battle until one side is wiped out and will never stop, so this trip must be cautious, the strength of the family does not have the capital to be arrogant in front of the Miyoshi family. …,

It didn't take long for the retainers of the Takayama family to be summoned by the clan. They had already arrived in the hall, and they were ready to return to Hachiman Castle in the county, but when they heard that the lord was going to Kaimachi again, their relaxed mood immediately disappeared without a trace.

I only heard Watanabe Moritsuna say: "My lord, if more than 2,000 troops march towards Kaimachi, then they will definitely be discovered by the Miyoshi family." With the attitude of the Miyoshi family towards the lord, the itinerary is not optimistic. ”

"What is there to be afraid of the three good families, back then, the lord's hundreds of troops turned the three good families around, and now the army is more than two thousand, and the three good families are weak, even if they are facing the front, the family is not afraid, in my opinion, it is better to swagger and kill the past."

The person who spoke was Wasuka Masakatsu, this time he brought a thousand ninja troops, when he arrived, the war in Yamashiro Country was over, although there were many ninja troops, but they were useless, which made him feel very uncomfortable, so he planned to use the lord to go to the boundary town, and use the Miyoshi family to move his muscles, and although his idea was a little radical, but there were still one or two retainers who agreed.

"Lord Beesuka's words are bad, after nearly a year of recovery, although the strength of the Miyoshi family is not as good as it was back then, but it is not the current more than 2,000 troops of the family can compete, the reason why the family turned the territory of the Miyoshi family upside down last time is not because the army under its command is exhausted, and now the army of the Miyoshi family is in the territory, not to mention the swaggering to go to the boundary town, even if it is not surrounded and annihilated, it is considered good, so what the adults said will not work at all." I only heard Maeda Toshiya speak.

"Maeda-sama is right, the next goal of the family is the country of Hida, so it is really not suitable to consume more troops in other places."

Although Nakagawa Kiyohide has just returned to the Takayama family, his personality has not changed in the slightest because of his unfamiliarity with other retainers, even if the other party is a long-established and much higher status than him.

Wasuka Masakatsu is also a person who knows the depth of the Tao, although what he said just now was from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't think much about it, and now he heard the retainers say it, and he also felt that the plan he proposed didn't work, so he didn't get angry at all, but said very generously: "It's really inconsiderate, but other than that, do you have any other good solutions?" ”

In addition to swaggering forward, there is only one way left, that is, sneaking, but this is even more dangerous for the lord, once it is discovered by the enemy, then the lord will be dangerous, so although the retainers have come up with this method, but no one has said it, after all, this matter is very important, they are not afraid of taking responsibility, if the lord has three long and two short on the road, even if he apologies, what is the use.

"My lord, my subordinates have a way." Seeing that everyone was silent, Yamada Nagamasa couldn't help but speak.

The clan sect, who was also in trouble, couldn't help but hurriedly said, "En? Tell us what you think. ”

"Lord, the subordinates think that it is the safest to pretend to be a caravan to go to the boundary town, and the lord only needs to mix in it, then he can pass the customs safely, because the boundary town is surrounded by the Miyoshi family, so there are often countless merchants passing through its territory, and over time, the inventory of the Miyoshi family on the Miyoshi family has also been relaxed, it can be said that if you want to pass through the territory of the Miyoshi family, this should be regarded as the most effective way, this is the foolish opinion of the subordinates, and please ask the lord to decide."

Everyone, including the clan, was amazed when they heard this, and if they did that, not only would they not have to worry when they went, but they would be able to leave safely even when they returned.

After hearing this, the clan nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Okay, just do as you say." ”

After speaking, I heard the clan sect open his mouth and ordered: "Watanabe Moritsu, you led a hundred elite armored cavalry Ashigaru to act as escorts and protect along the way, and the others led the army to return to Hachiman Castle immediately, ready to use troops against Hida." ”…,

"It's... Lord, there are only a hundred elite armored horsemen as escorts, is the number of people less, in case ......"

"Needless to say, too many people are easy to be suspicious of the enemy, without further ado, you can go and prepare the goods now, and go to Kai Town in an hour."

After everyone left, the clan and Yamada Nagamasa were left in the hall again, in addition to the transaction with the Brute Chamber of Commerce, there was also a matter that the clan was concerned about, that is, the question of the crossbow, whether this weapon could be mass-produced, but it was related to the future of the family, if each ashigaru could really have a crossbow, then the army would be invincible in the world, even if it met Takeda Akabei, the five colors of the Hojo family, it could be completely annihilated at a very small price, the use of this weapon, It will become the biggest help for the family to dominate the world.

"Changzheng, how is the system of the Ten Sons Bow now?"

Yamada Nagamasa listened to the lord's question, and sighed inadvertently, only to hear him speak: "Back to the lord, the cross bow can be made after research, but because its internal structure is too precise, even the most experienced craftsmen will need nearly a month to make one, and out of secrecy, only three craftsmen have come into contact with this thing, so only thirty ...... have been made so far."

"Well, it's already good, as long as it can be made out, it's already very good, there is still a long time before large-scale equipment, once needed, it can be completely expanded at that time, and by then, as long as there are a hundred craftsmen to produce, then it will be a hundred sheets per month, and this speed is not slow. Now there is no need to worry, the main thing is to keep it secret. After hearing the news, the clan couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

Although the speed is a little slow, but as long as it can be made out, it is a victory, and there are at least more than ten years before the change of the Honnoji Temple, even if it is calculated according to ten years, thirty sheets in January, ten years? That's 3,600 sheets, if the number of this thing is small, you can't see anything, but the number is thousands, then it will definitely become the enemy's nightmare, just imagine, once the crossbow army reaches thousands, even if you face several times your own red reserves, but as long as a few rounds of arrow rain down, the enemy will be wiped out, a hundred meters of range, obediently, I'm afraid that the enemy has not rushed over, and they all go to see Amaterasu.
