It didn't take three days, and in the afternoon of the next day, three blacksmiths appeared in front of the clan with a military thorn and a modified iron cannon, this military thorn was thin and long, about two fingers wide, and the length was about the same as their own requirements, and the blacksmiths also opened a blood groove on the blade, which was more suitable for assassination. The two-inch-and-quarter-long handle is covered with threads, which can be held in the hand or fixed to the iron cannon.

Seeing that the clan was satisfied, one of the blacksmiths respectfully handed over the iron cannon in his hand, only to see that under the muzzle of the iron cannon, a small cylinder more than two inches long, made of cast iron, with threads inside, was fixed on the body of the gun, just enough to insert the bayonet handle into it and fix it. The small ring on the handle of the bayonet was also placed directly on the barrel of the iron cannon as a re-fixation.

After the clan took the iron cannon with the bayonet, he broke the military thorn inserted in the iron cannon hard, but it didn't move at all, seeing this, the clan nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile to the three blacksmiths: "You guys did a good job, I am very satisfied." 10 yuan per person. ”

The three blacksmiths were immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and thanked them.

"Ha Luha, get up, the three of you go with me to the training center." After saying that, the clan strode out of the samurai mansion.

As soon as they arrived at the training center, Maeda Toshiie and Wasuka Masakatsu were attracted by the iron cannon in his hand. Maeda Toshiya walked closer and saw the combination of military spurs and iron cannons, which was very novel, so he wanted to give it a try. "My lord, is this what you call a weapon that is more suitable for cavalry? The subordinates implored the lord to hand over this thing to his subordinates for the next try. ”

"That's exactly what I mean." As he spoke, he handed the iron cannon into the hands of Maeda Toshiya.

Seeing him turn over the horse with an iron cannon, rush to the scarecrow used for training, chop, chop, pierce and so on, Maeda Toshiya hurriedly turned the horse's head, came to the clan with an excited face, and said excitedly: "Lord, if Ashigaru can be equipped with this new weapon, its combat power can be increased by at least two percent." ”

After hearing this, the clan no longer had any doubts, and Da Yan smiled and said: "Ha Luha, since the right and left sides of the gun are said to be fine, then I will order someone to go to Kai Town immediately, hand over this thing to Yamada Nagamasa, and tell him that after three months, 100 sets of such iron cannon bayonets must be transported, and all iron cannons in the future will be processed according to this." ”

"Yes, my subordinates will do it."

After Maeda Toshiya left, the clan looked at the three blacksmiths again and said, "How long will it take you to build a set of bayonets and iron cannons like this?" ”

"Back to my lord, under normal circumstances, it takes three days for the three of us to build a set together, and if the adult is in a hurry, it can be made in two days."

After hearing this, the clan sighed in his heart, alas, it seems that the current production level is still too low, although he is helpless, but there is no way. "Well, I have a blacksmith shop in Kaimachi, would you like to go?"

He thought that if these three blacksmiths could go to the Kai to guide them, the blacksmiths in Kai Town would be able to take fewer detours, and there would be three more skilled workers there, which would not help the production speed, but it would be better than nothing.

The three blacksmiths were a little embarrassed by this proposal, they had grown so big that they had never taken half a step out of Owari Province, and suddenly let them go over the mountains to the distant Kai Town, they were still very scared in their hearts, and their homes and shops were also in Owari, if they went to Kai Town, then what should Owari do here? But since the samurai had spoken, they didn't dare not go.

"Big... Adult, villain's wife and child, shop... There are still a few apprentices in the store who are in Owari, and if the villain leaves, then what should I do here, and please forgive me. The old blacksmith said in a trembling voice. When he finished speaking, the other two were bold enough to echo him.

The clan thought about it, and what the three of them said was not unreasonable, after all, no one wants to abandon their family and business and leave their hometown. And he didn't lack them, so he didn't dwell on this issue, and said directly: "Since you don't want to go, then forget it, you can retreat." ”

After thanking the three of them, they hurriedly left Inuyama Castle, for fear that the adults would change their minds.

In the blink of an eye, it had entered the middle of winter, and in the past few months, Inuyama Castle had already settled down, but Nobunaga seemed to have forgotten about Inuyama Castle and his Takayama clan, not only did he not transfer him back, but he didn't even send a herald. ,

The clan was anxious, it was not a way to go on like this, he was still young, so he couldn't retire here anymore. It seems that we have to find a way to make some noise and get Nobunaga to pay attention to this.

In the past few days, the clan has been thinking about this problem, not to mention, the most difficult thing really made him think of a solution. He remembered that after several failed attacks on Inabayama Castle, Nobunaga changed his strategy and shifted his focus from Nishimino to Higashimino. Higashimino is sparsely populated, and there are no famous talents, so this place was quickly occupied by Nobunaga, and the clan thought to himself, now that he is directly south of this Higashiminon, why not build a castle, so that he can also make some noise.

Thinking of this, the clan no longer hesitated, and immediately convened his retainers to discuss. "Masakatsu, you're familiar with Mino, let me ask you, which is the closest castle to the Saito family?"

Wasuka Masakatsu had already turned Mino around before he left the office, so he said without thinking: "Back to the lord, the closest to this place should be Ape Peck City, and if you go out from here, it will only take half a day to arrive." And this castle is close to the Kiso River, and it is the residence of many local wealthy families, and if there is no change, there are about 500 ashigaru in the city to defend. ”

"Okay, pass the order, go out early tomorrow morning, and target the ape to peck at the city."

In the past few months, the retainers have been shaking and suffocating, seeing that there is finally a battle to fight, no one wants to stay in Inuyama Castle, especially Yamauchi Kazutoyo, since the reward has not received any credit, he has been practicing martial arts hard, while looking forward to fighting every day, today finally let him look forward to it, so he preemptively said: "Stay and wish to go out with the lord." ”

Although Maeda Toshiya and Wasuka Masakatsu were a step slower, they did not show weakness, in order to be able to fight, they fought for this, and the clan was very relieved to see their positive appearance, but if it hurt the harmony, it would be unnecessary, so the clan put on the lord's shelf, and said with a straight face: "Okay, stop it." ”

Seeing that the lord was angry, the three retainers did not dare to continue arguing, and hurriedly sat down and waited for the lord to make a decision.

I only heard the clan say: "Since Yamauchi Ichifeng should respond first, then Yamauchi Ichitoyo will follow me into battle." ”

"But the lord ......"

The clan clan waved his hand, stopped the bee Suga Masakatsu, who was still talking, and said, "There is no need to say more, first go out of the battle." If I want to go out in the future, then I will concentrate on the meeting and end the meeting. With that, the clan got up and returned to the inner room.
