Chapter 139 Gene

Large-scale price cuts in grain will cause a series of chain reactions. What you don’t have to think about is that cheap food will flow into Kanto Kansai. Daming people from all over the country will buy cheap military rations, and then the war will begin. What I can be sure of is that the Maori family’s naval army will definitely come to deliver food to Ishiyama Honanji Castle.

After Nagano Yamamoto led his men to sea from Edo to land in Ishiyama Town, he rested in my camp for ten days. During these ten days, the injured samurai in Ueno should be well, and those who cannot be cured will die. After all, in this era, I cannot treat tetanus virus. If you are injured, you can only leave it to fate.

‘The Ueno people were so grateful to him by His Highness. Finally, I would like to say something to cause trouble to His Highness.’

‘It’s all a family, why are you too polite? Wakasa Kingdom, please ask you all.’ Nagano Yamamoto and I played the trick of sending each other ten miles away at the Shili Pavilion outside Ishiyama Town. Since it’s a show, we have to do it. Ueno has been taken care of by me during this period. I take time to play the trick of untiing clothes and promoting food and food every day, which makes Maeda Keiji and the others disgusting. Let me say, Wakasa Kingdom, please ask you all. Wakasa Kingdom has friendly troops on all sides and faces the sea. What’s there to ask? There were several pirates who used to harass the villages, but since the Kudo family built a large ship, the pirates have either gone to other places to make a living or were incorporated or destroyed by the Kudo family’s naval army.

Nagano Yamori was sent away to exchange for the Shimashima Katsuma, and it was exchanged for the naval warships. Now two huge warships have entered the sea. Although the treasure ships are incomparable, they are already the first and second largest ships in Japan. In this era, the Yazai ship is popular in Japan. The so-called Yazai ship is a large wooden house that can float on the sea. It has no sails and can only move by paddling. Therefore, the speed is very slow and can only be used as offshore defense. There are shooting holes on the walls. When fighting in the distance, everyone uses bows, arrows and iron cannons to get through the shooting holes.

When shooting each other, during close combat, use a pot full of gunpowder to ignite it and throw it on the other side's ship to launch a fire attack, called "Baoyao". The small-ranked Anzhai ship is called "Baoyao". It is mainly used by pirates to collect passes. Because they often have to chase ships that refuse to pay tolls, the Caoyao is lighter and more serious than speed. The main warship of the Maori family is a small warship that is smaller than the Caoyao. The style is a reduced version of the Caoyao. However, because it can only accommodate more than twenty people, the long-range firepower is very weak, and they can only use Caoyao to kill the enemy.

Too outdated, isn't it?

My warship is different. In addition to bows, arrows and iron cannons, they are also equipped with killers - fixed on the deck - crossbows and catapults. Although I also know that large ships are equipped with cannons, I have to have them too. Not to mention me, in the entire Japan, there are two cannons sold by the Portuguese, which are not sold by the Portuguese, and other daimyos do not have cannons. These southern barbarians called it not excessively interfering in the war between the indigenous peoples. In fact, they were just waiting for a price and not finding a suitable buyer. I have seen through these southern barbarians long ago. As long as the price is right, even my own father can sell them to you. For the two cannons in the Jie Town, the Jie Town people bought them for gold.

The iron cannons used on warships are different from those on land. The iron cannon tubes on them are thicker, longer, and slower to fill. This earthy large iron cannon has a special name in the Ming Dynasty - lifting the gun, which is called a large barrel in Japan. It can be understood as a large caliber iron cannon.

At this time, after the price of grain in Kinki was completely reduced, Oda Nobunaga, who was first affected by the wealth of food, immediately discovered the fighter. Yamama's master was short of food, and Yamama's master was an ally of the Maori family. At this time, it should have attacked Yamama and then attacked the Maori family. Although Oda Nobunaga captured Yamama, Ma Guo and blackmailed Yamama and then signed a so-called armistice treaty, even Yamama's master knew that this kind of treaty could only deceive ghosts. If someone really believed that this armistice treaty could come into effect, it would be even more stupid than Ohara's fool.

Considering that the Yama master's defeat and the siege of Ishiyama Honanji Castle occupied a lot of people, Oda Nobunaga did not send a large army, but appointed Hashiba Hideyoshi as the general, and the deputy general was Akamatsu Yoshiyuki, the newly surrendered. The first move was Arakimura Shige from Oka Castle. It seems that Oda Nobunaga also heard the rumors that the Araki family secretly sent food to Honanji Castle, so he sent a vanguard. The Shifeng general is the chief officer of Koji, and the center general is the director of Changji. These newly surrendered local tyrants all have important hostages in Kyoto, which is already foolproof in Oda Nobunaga's view. It is of course the best to win, but even if they lose, they consume other people's capital. In the end, they can also use the charge of unfavorable battles to seize the land of these local tyrants. It is indeed a good strategy to kill two birds with one stone.

The news reached Ishiyama Town. At this time, I was having a drink with Ishiyama Town garrison general Ninoha Nagahide on the newly entered port of the "Chengfeng" battleship. Ninoha Nagahide and I got the news. After a while, Ninoha Nagahide paused the wine glass on the table and sighed, "My lord is too anxious."

‘Yes, Ishiyama Honanji Castle is now in my pocket. If you drag it down, you can drag down the Honanji family. But if one of them doesn’t do it well, these vassals will be afraid of it. Even the results of besieging Ishiyama Honanji Castle some time ago will be lost. Our 18,000 people will be evenly matched with these companies. Otherwise, His Highness Ninoha, let’s write a clause to let the lord postpone the attack on the famous master of Inagakura Mountain.’

Nishi Nagahiko's head shook like taking some medicine, 'Don't, I have been with my lord for many years, and I know the lord's character best. Whatever the lord wants to do, even if he knows that he is wrong, he must continue to do it and complete it. In the middle, all those who block the lord's mistakes will be beaten and scolded at the least, and retire from the officialdom or be asked to apologize. Now we are both famous officials who are exiled. It is a good intention to unite and persuade the lord to advise the lord, but what do you think of the lord who is angry? You will definitely suspect that we are colluding with outsiders and talking to outsiders.'

‘Since that’s the case, then forget it. Your Highness Nishiyu, let’s continue to eat wine.’ There is one disadvantage to eating wine on the boat, that is, there is no woman to accompany you. This era is very feudal and superstitious, because women have to shed blood once a month, and seeing redness is considered an unlucky symbol, so women are strictly prohibited from boarding the boat, especially warships.

Almost at the same time, His Highness Hideyoshi Hashiba, who was appointed as the general of the Western Expedition Army, did not have the worries of me and Nagahide Ninoha. After Qianen thanked him for sending away the messenger of the Oda family, Hideyoshi Hashiba smiled at the sky, "I, Fujiro, have today." The chakra in the monkey's body for many years finally broke out.

The monkey's wife Ningning also echoed, "Your Highness was promoted and reused by the lord. It's a joy to be successful. I think it's not far from the time I can make a fortune. What I have to think about now is how to beautifully take down the famous masters of Inabayama and give a satisfactory explanation to the Minister of the Taizheng."

Hideyoshi Hashiba glanced at Ningning. The wife he married when he was poor and humble was indeed no longer worthy of the status of the king. However, as the first lady, she was still a proper person and took care of Hideyoshi Hashiba in every way and was a good virtuous supporter. After Hideyoshi Hashiba became a general, he also took several concubines to work day and night. But we can only say that although monkeys are close relatives of mammals and humans, it is still difficult to conceive a human woman. The result is that the monkey thinks that her women are hens who can't lay eggs. He never considers whether their genes match humans.

‘Koichiro, call the retainers to meet. Also, I will slowly pay back the money I owe to the Kudo family. My horse and armored and Taidao military flag will be replaced with brand new. The last time the copper-plated gourd military flag was replaced with a gilded one. When I took down the famous mountain, we can exchange it for pure gold military flags. The Kudo family's military flag was just a black flower, so what's that? We have to use gold to compare him.’ Hashiba Hideyoshi took the appointment edict and gave orders, and in the eyes of others, this person's current state is only a little better than Fan Jin who won the election.

At this time, the monkey had just received the appointed subordinates.

There is Oka Castle and Arakimura Shige, 'Look, let's take the lead, isn't that just a cannon fodder! It's almost the same as being the general.'

Araki's retainer Takayama Shigeto said, "Your Highness Araki, let's go against it. You see, the Oda family will brag about writing on white paper. After bragging for a long time, Ishiyama Honanji Castle was still not taken down? You also met the messenger of Ishiyama Castle some time ago. Didn't you agree that when the Maori family's naval army came, we would support the rescue of Ishiyama Honanji Castle? Now it's only one or two months ahead of schedule."

Another important official of the Araki family, Nakagawa Kyohide, knew the purpose of Takayama's holy fellow, and also echoed, 'Yes, Your Highness, we have Oka Castle, and there are a few who have no relatives in Honan Temple. We are all connected by blood. If the Oda family attacks hard, it would be fine, and we must use the strategy of losing food. I think this attack on Inaba is also a poisonous plan for the Oda family. The famous Yama family has the Mori family as their backer. It is not a bet for only a few thousand of us to go there. If we win, it is the Oda family. If we lose, we are afraid that the territory of our hometown will be snatched away by the Oda family. The Oda family has been greedy for Tsukura for a day or two.'

'But our family is hostage in Kyoto.' Shige Arakimura knew that as long as he rebelled, his family as hostages would immediately face the situation of being executed.

Takayama Shigei climbed two steps forward, 'Your Highness, Kyoto has your family and ours.'

Arakimura Hiroshi slapped his thigh for the last time and made up his mind, "If you do it, you can marry your wife if you die, and you can reborn if your son dies. If your territory is gone, then nothing will be gone."
