Under the protection of Miaozi, I picked up the pearls in the box again. I don’t know if it was a psychological effect or the beads were no longer causing trouble. This time, my eyes were clear and not fascinated. I played with it and threw the pearls into the water tank of the giant clam. The giant clam opened its mouth at the right time to absorb water, and the pearls were sucked into the shell of the giant clam with the water flow.

Miaozi asked in surprise, 'Your Highness?'

I clapped my hands and said, "It's okay, I'll keep it as the heirloom of the Kudo family in the future." Last time, I asked me about the heirloom of the Kudo family at Kinkakuji Temple. I thought about it and answered "Ashi". If someone comes to ask what the heirom of the Kudo family is, I can invite him to see the century giant clam of the Kudo family.

The days of besieging Ishiyama Honanji Castle have passed day by day. Every now and then, the believers of Yixiangsect in and outside the city will launch harassing attacks on us, the "armers of the Buddha's enemies, the "scary retainers" and the attacking weapons are also varied, from those who threw stones, spitting to those who shot archers, and shooting. Now, when you go to Keicho to transport food once, you will definitely be robbed without bringing three or five hundred people. It can be said that the Honanji family still spent some capital in it.

I picked up the extended iron cannon and aimed at a man holding a sword a hundred meters away from the fort. In the telescope, the man was making noises loudly, constantly gestured to the defenders in the fort, "Cowards, come out. Grandpa will give you a piece of food. Hahaha. I'm slapping, come out, come out. You cowards, come out, come out. Come and grab it. Hahaha. I'll fuck you a thousand cowards alone, hahahaha.'

After a while, I lowered the iron cannon again, gently took out the bullet wrapped in kraft paper, carved a cross on the bullet with a rib difference, and reloaded it back.

‘Bang.’ As the white smoke floated up in front of me, the provocative believer of Yixiangzong on the opposite side was hit by a bullet and flew back to the ground. A hole as big as a bowl was opened in his chest, and blood was spurted out. ‘Mom, I don’t want to die.’ The arrogant believer of Yixiangzong didn’t catch his mother in the air just now. After catching her twice in vain, he fell on the yellow soil.

I saw a brave peasant soldier in the adjacent Tokugawa Iegaki Fort, quickly crossed the wooden fence of the fort, rushed to the dead Yixiang Sect believer, dragged his sword up, and ran back quickly.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers in my fort looked at each other, and Maeda Keiji stuttered, "This is too unauthentic."

‘It’s finally purified.’ I put down the iron cannon in my hand and cursed in my heart, ‘Damn the flies. Did you play with Thousand People Slash? It’s a retribution.’

Maeda Kyoji pointed to the Tokugawa family's army who was dragging the Taidao halfway through the journey, "Lord, how to deal with this? Your spoil?"

‘Forget it, I guess His Highness Tokugawa will come in a while. Calm, calm.’ No matter how poor the Tokugawa family is, he still has a daimyo in Toru. He can’t make a conflict with me for a too-knife, or a low-quality too-knife. I am also a member of the Oda family. Tokugawa Ieyasu endures every day and will not offend me for this. I think there is only one purpose in doing this, that is, to find an excuse to meet me. It seems that Tokugawa Ieyasu has also put a lot of effort into it.

Sure enough, not long after, Tokugawa Ieyasu came to visit me with his retainers. ‘Torii Toru Toru has met His Highness Kudo. What happened just now is so rude. I have taught that unsightly unfaithful untold man. Please forgive him.’

Just being polite, there was no such thing. I also called one, haha, 'Haha, nothing. Whoever sees this thing is his own. Besides, if you run so far, you will risk losing your head. There is so many subordinates, none of them have this courage. Sanhe's peasant soldiers are commendable.'

Tokugawa Ieyasu's ruling area was in Toru, but his subordinates were all from Sanhe. After the replacement, the fiefs of these Sanhe retainers had gradually been replaced to Toru, and the original tyrants of Toru to Sanhe, which greatly consolidated the rule of the feudal daimyos in the two places over the land and the people.

‘Haha. His Highness Kudo is too good.’ Tokugawa Ieyasu made a fuss and changed the subject, ‘I heard that His Highness Kudo has recently obtained a rare treasure?’

My expression changed slightly, "Nothing is there, it's just a pearl, it's nothing. I heard that His Highness Tokugawa has obtained the relics of many monks, and that is a rare treasure."

When I said this, Tokugawa Ieyasu's retainers looked ugly one by one, but they were unable to speak due to their identity. Tokugawa Ieyasu smiled, "If His Highness Kudo likes, I will send you two pounds to him."

‘Then there is no need. A gentleman does not take away the beauty of others.’

In this way, the two of them returned some meaningless nonsense. Tokugawa Ieyasu finally put the matter on the topic, 'His Highness Kudo started with iron cannons. Although I am far away from Tohoku, the Daemon of the Whale House in Kiyosu Town, it is well-known. The Kudo family's iron cannon team is one of the few strong soldiers in the world. The Honganji family's iron cannon team is powerful, and it is not enough to fight without iron cannon teams. This time, the Tokugawa family only brought a fifty-man iron cannon team. I have suffered a few small losses so far. I wonder if His Highness Kudo can sell some of the iron cannons to us, so I am really grateful.'

How is that possible? The flint iron cannons of our family are now made of barrels made by hand rifling, and the range is much further than that of ordinary iron cannons. Moreover, the flint iron cannons have never been sold on the market, and you are almost the same as even the mesh guns. ‘I understand His Highness Tokugawa’s meaning, and I understand His Highness Tokugawa’s difficulties. But now the iron cannons in my hand are all one carrot and one pit. I really don’t have any wealth.’

‘I never dare to think about the iron cannons of Your Highness’s Iron Artillery Team. I heard that His Highness Kudo severely defeated the iron cannon team of the Honganji family a few days ago and seized a lot of them.’

'Your Highness Tokugawa is talking about this. I almost forgot. I originally wanted to ship it to Jetchi-cho to sell it, but the roads were not clean these few days. I forgot about it. Keigi, how many iron cannons were seized the previous time?'

Maeda Keiji looked through the records in the account and said, "A total of 272 iron cannons were seized, of which twelve were not repaired and unusable. The day before yesterday, His Highness Ikeda "borrowed" thirty pieces, and there were still 230 pieces that could be used."

The word "borrow" in Ikeda Hengxing is very interesting. Our whole family knows that he has always borrowed but not paid back. If he urged him, Ikeda Hengxing immediately said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will pay you back when I give birth to a daughter." Later, Ikeda Hengxing's wife and concubine gave birth to three daughters for Ikeda Hengxing in a year.

A few days ago, I joked with Hiroki Ikeda and asked him if he should pay the debt since he had a daughter. Hiroki Ikeda said, "I know you are impatient, but my daughter is only five years old. No matter how anxious you are, you have to wait."

I took a plan and said, "The iron cannons from Jiecho are 60 guan per piece, and the iron cannons from Whale House are cheaper, and the iron cannons from Fifty guan per piece. However, these iron cannons are second-hand. Even if His Highness Tokugawa is cheaper, the 30 guan per piece is better. They are all my own people, so I can choose at will."

‘It’s a problem for His Highness Kudo.’ Hearing me tell the price, the retainers of the Tokugawa family finally breathed a sigh of relief. The price was not expensive. If you can choose, it would be no problem to pick up some 80% of the new iron cannons.

When the Tokugawa family bought iron cannons, I realized why Tokugawa Ieyasu brought almost all his retainers, and Tokugawa Ieyasu bought thirty iron cannons by himself. These retainers, you three and two, bought nearly a hundred iron cannons in total.

Maeda Keiji, who was standing beside him, asked, 'His Highness Tokugawa, isn't the Tokugawa family's iron artillery team a team? If it is dispersed like this, the power of the iron artillery team will be less.'

'It will gather together during wars, and I also want to organize a pure iron artillery team. But iron artillery is too expensive, even if I am the king of Toru River, I can't afford the expenses. So I have to buy some of them each, train themselves in daily life, and gather together in wartime.' Tokugawa Ieyasu's words are half true and half false. It is false to say that the Tokugawa family has no money to organize the iron artillery team, but if such an expensive iron artillery team is only given to one retainer to manage, I am afraid that other retainers will be dissatisfied. If this retainer is successfully returned by the enemy, the Tokugawa family will become a wedding dress for others. So Tokugawa Ieyasu uses the doctrine of other daimyos to hand over the iron artillery to the retainers they trust, and gather together in wartime.

After a big deal, I was in a good mood, ‘Since I bought so much, I’m more generous. I’ll give him 50 kilograms of gunpowder to His Highness Tokugawa as a supporter.’

Tokugawa Ieyasu's eyes lit up. Saltpeter is an imported product. Fifty kilograms of gunpowder are not a small amount, and gunpowder can better control the retainers with muskets, "His Highness Kudo, Renyi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu's great virtue. Unfortunately, my Turtle Gumi is young and cannot serve His Highness Kudo." After saying that, Tokugawa Ieyasu sighed with regret on his face and shook his head.
