Chapter 64 Iron Cannon Technology

After learning about the power of the iron cannon, the Hachiban Kanebei decided that this was the strongest weapon he had ever dreamed of, and threw himself into it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoFrom this point of view, the person of Yabankanemi is still very receptive to new things, and he is very innovative.

Although he was only a small local lord, he was keenly aware that the two iron cannons he purchased at a high price might change the way the entire Wa Kingdom Warring States period had been fighting. Therefore, for the research of the iron cannon of the Yaban Kanebei, Tanegashima Shiyao can almost be said to be unconditionally supportive, asking people to give people and money to money.

Who knew that after spending several months, many tests, and a lot of manpower and material resources, the eight-plate gold guard was completed when the replication of the Portuguese iron cannon was completed, but the gun misfired and declared a failure. A misfire of a gun is something that cannot be allowed to occur in such a powerful weapon as an iron cannon.

The accident that occurred during the development of this time also represented the failure of the development of the eight-plate Jinbei iron cannon. Who would dare to go into battle with an iron cannon that would fire itself at any moment? A fool would use such a weapon!

The so-called failure is a successful mother, and the failure of the Hachiban Kanebei in several studies did not make him lose confidence. It's just that there is one thing that he knows very well, that is, he doesn't know the technology in refining iron cannons, and it is not easy to make it to the current level, after all, it is a much more complex weapon than refining knives, and it also involves firearms technology that he didn't know at all.

But the eight plate of the Golden Guard is a determined person, after he failed, he did not give up, because in fact he has preliminarily completed the imitation, but he still needs to solve some technical problems in the middle, and he can completely realize the self-made iron cannon.

But the eight-plate Jinbei did not rashly continue his own experiment, that is, the core technology of the iron cannon mentioned above, he didn't know, so he was waiting for an opportunity.

After a year, the eight-plate gold guard, who was unwilling to fail, finally waited for the opportunity he was looking forward to.

When the Portuguese returned, in order to fulfill their wish to make the strongest weapon in the world, the Hachiban Kinbei gave his lovely daughter to the Portuguese. In exchange for his beautiful daughter, he finally learned the manufacturing technology of advanced iron cannon parts from the Portuguese who came to the voyage.

After obtaining the core technology of manufacturing iron cannons, after repeated experiments, finally in the thirteenth year of astronomy (1544 AD), he imitated the sharp weapon known as Japan's "first domestically produced Irita Yoshimi iron cannon".

However, regardless of its merits, Yaban Kinbei had already died in Tanegashima in the first year of Motokame (1570 AD) due to a serious illness caused by the perennial working environment, so now the Shimazu family's iron cannon workshop has been inherited by the Yaitan Zenemon who looks like a middle-aged man in front of him.

Because Tanegashima's iron cannon is the earliest iron cannon of the Wa country, and the others are just imitation knockoffs of the seed tube, so in terms of quality, compared to the Kunitomo family, there are also iron cannons from the root of the people, and the iron cannon of the Shimazu family has a backyard spiral nut, this technology is currently only known by Yaban Zenemon alone, and the iron cannons of other houses lack this advanced component technology, which is the advanced place of Tanegashima.

However, Tanegashima is almost always used by the Shimazu family, so it is difficult to see it in the world, so the only technique of Yaita Zenemon can be preserved, otherwise it should have been imitated a long time ago.

And the reason why the Kuroda family values Yaita Zenemon so much is because of the technology of the spiral nut in this back hall, if it weren't for this, the Kuroda family's own craftsman strength would already be very strong, and there would be no need for another person like Yaita Zenemon. After all, with the ability and smelting technology of Yaban Zenemon, in the Kuroda family's workshop area, it can only be said that he can only be an ordinary craftsman at most, and the Kuroda family's own core craftsmen are quite many, and if you take one out, you will not have less knowledge of iron cannons than him. Even among the few core talents newly recruited, there are three or five who are proficient in iron cannon refining.

It's just that Yaban Zenemon is easier to deal with, after all, he is a craftsman, not a samurai who has too many ties to his land and family, his family only has his wife and son, and the sister who has been brought to Portugal and doesn't know life and death, he usually comes into contact with his own hammer and iron furnace, and he really can't make any special requirements for his living conditions.

In addition to his arrangement, after saying all the conditions in the Imate Tomoji before coming, he agreed to go to the territory of the Kuroda family in Harima Province, where he would continue to study the technology of iron cannons together with the other craftsmen of the Kuroda family, and participate in the process of improving and developing the Kuroda family's firearms.

For a person like Yaita Zenemon, he inherited his father's craftsman spirit, and is actually a very admirable person, he can calm down to do a very boring thing, and he is willing to dedicate everything for such a boring work, how many people can do this? At least such a craftsman spirit is indeed very rare, and Kuroda Vocational High School also encourages and admires such craftsmen and craftsmen with the spirit of craftsmen.

After the Kuroda family completely occupied Satsuma Province, it wasn't like nothing happened. The Kuroda family began the integration work within the Satsuma Kingdom, pacifying the many people in the domain, organizing preparations before the autumn harvest, and eliminating the bandits and deserters formed by the arrival of the Kuroda family and the previous battles, so as to restore order throughout the Satsuma Kingdom.

For the escape of some people of Satsuma Country, the people of the Kuroda family did not stop them, these people are all die-hard fans of the Shimazu family, even if the Kuroda family forcibly keeps them, they will not be interested in the Kuroda family.

Rather than leaving behind such a group of people who will only cause trouble to the Kuroda family in the future, it is better to let them leave Satsuma Country and follow in the footsteps of Shimazu Yoshihisa in their hearts, as for what kind of encounters they will encounter in the middle of the migration, it is not at all the people of the Kuroda family who can solve their problems for them.
