Oda Nobunaga felt that he had made a lot of money, but it was just an insignificant belief that could bring so many benefits.
She issued decrees in a timely manner, abolished tax offices, dredged trade routes, and made the city happy.
Although the demolition of the tax checkpoint harmed the interests of the local samurai family, it injected vital commercial vitality into the Oda family and will receive continuous returns.
Oda Nobunaga knew very well that he was a shallow believer at best, and Honnoji Nichigen did not expect her to never abandon Nichiren Sect.
The original deal between the two was to provide shelter for the Nichiren Sect believers. They also wanted to take revenge on the Tendai Sect and Ichiko Sect in the future, and avenge the Buddhist tribulations that the Nichiren Sect had experienced.
Honnoji Nichigen worked hard for her and strengthened the power of the Oda family, which was also the power that made the Oda family inseparable from the Nichiren sect believers.
If Oda Nobunaga wants to get help from these devout believers at all costs, he must fulfill his promise and not break it.
This is a tacit understanding between both parties.
Oda Nobunaga stepped forward, grabbed the iron cannon from the ashigaru's hand, played with it happily, and asked.
"How much does this iron cannon cost?"
The workshop practitioners on the side responded respectfully.
"Go back to Your Highness, Wu Guan."
"Five Guan?"
Oda Nobunaga looked at her in disbelief. After getting the definite answer, he cursed at the sky in the direction of Sakai Port.
In order to build her own iron cannon, she spent a lot of money to buy iron cannons at Sakai Port. Each one cost 35 guan, and it was a discounted price for large quantities of shipments!
Now that she knows the cost, she immediately hates the profiteers in Sakai Port. When one day she takes control of Sakai Port, she must make those guys pay the price!
After she calmed down, she asked.
"Why is it so cheap?"
The workshop pursues sincerity.
"Your Highness, the iron cannon originated from Tanegashima. At that time, it sold for one hundred guns.
Later, the formula and craftsmen were deceived by Sakai Port, and they cooperated with the Kii people to open a workshop, and the craftsmanship has been improving.
In fact, the technology of iron cannons has become much more mature, and the cost has naturally dropped. Therefore, the people of Kii country can equip iron cannons on a large scale for combat.
And don't forget that the iron cannon only has five guns. The relevant projectiles, gunpowder, and match ropes all need to be equipped, and these consumables also need to be manufactured.
Outsiders don't understand these craftsmanship, so they only earn ten times their price, which is not considered greedy given the tight supply of military supplies."
Oda Nobunaga's face twitched, she used to be the kind of ignorant person who was taken advantage of.
She pointed at the target again and asked.
"I feel like the target is far away, more than twenty steps away."
Bow and answer.
"Your Highness is wise, the craftsmanship of iron cannons is improving, and the killing range can almost reach the level of bows and arrows.
It's just that the accuracy is not as good. If you want to hit one person accurately, you still need several iron cannons to fire in volley."
Oda Nobunaga nodded, ignored her, and fell into deep thought alone.
The previous iron cannon had a range of fifty steps, and only a salvo at a distance of twenty steps could guarantee a hit.
The shooting range of a bow and arrow is eighty paces, and accurate shooting requires fifty paces.
If the killing range of iron cannons can reach eighty steps of bows and arrows, then a row of iron cannons can fire a salvo without precision, and they can still cause a barrage of damage at fifty steps.
The armor-piercing lethality of iron cannons is far more powerful than that of bows and arrows.
Moreover, after a month of training, the Ashigaru can go into battle. It is a far more useful consumable than the Hime Samurai.
She raised her head and looked around her. Those who came to observe with her were her direct ministers.
"Kasunari Mori, how is your training with the Ashigaru?"
Sen Kecheng bowed.
"It's a bit difficult to report back to Your Highness.
The three and a half long spears you requested are too heavy for the Ashigaru."
Generally, the spear used by Ashigaru is two and a half ken, and the spear used against the knight on horseback is only three ken in length.
However, Oda Nobunaga actually asked his direct reserve team Ashigaru to train in the use of three and a half super long guns, which gave Mori Katsunari and Kajiri Hidetaka a headache.
Oda Nobunaga sneered.
"I have given them jobs, salaries, and opportunities for advancement, so why are they dissatisfied?
If you can't do it, get out of here! There are many people who want to come in, and those ashigaru who can't form a spear array with three and a half spears before the autumn harvest, I'll drive them all out!"
"Hi!"
Oda Nobunaga was not a philanthropic man. If she gave the Ashigaru benefits, she must squeeze out all their potential.
Why carry out military reform if it doesn’t work? It’s better to just carry on as usual!
There was a vague hope in her heart that the super-long spear formation composed of ashigaru would protect the iron cannon ashigaru and shoot at the oncoming enemy troops.
Using the aggressive ashigaru of the Oda family, coupled with super long guns and iron cannons, they are enough to defeat any samurai army!
She glanced at the group of direct ministers, including the leaders of her mother-in-laws and the leaders of the standing army.
To achieve this goal, it is necessary to abandon the samurai family's traditional mobilization reserve team and form off-the-job reserve teams. Only by using off-the-job professional ashigaru can we effectively use super long guns and iron cannons.
The system of territorial mobilization is too backward. Ji warriors should not be lords, but commanders under her command. They will fight wherever they are asked to go.
The more Oda Nobunaga thought about it, the more proud he became. His eyes turned into crescent moons, imagining the bright future.
The power of the Oda family should become my pawns to win the world for me.
Step by step, we must slowly transform them.
———
In Owari, Oda Nobunaga was solidifying the legion system in her mind. In Echigo, Uesugi Terutora was also getting what he wanted through violence.
Seeing that two important ministers, Nagao Masaki and Usami Sadamitsu, died in mysterious circumstances, the Echigo samurai family finally felt scared.
These days, Yoshihiro Shiba and Teru Uesugi are throwing away a lot of money and giving out benefits. They are afraid that each company will not accept it, and they are afraid that each company will not agree with the Echigo integration.
This seemed to give the Echigo warriors an illusion that they seemed to be awesome?
Now, Uesugi Teruhora used the most ruthless means to kill two family faction leaders who were not worthy of death.
Let these hot-headed warriors cool down so that they can understand their situation clearly.
Your aunt is your aunt after all, don't be too arrogant.
Shiba Yiyin watched with cold eyes and did not intervene. Ever since he entered Echigo, he has always been in conflict.
He wanted to share the power passed down from Uesugi Teruhora, but he didn't want to make any emotional commitment to her to prevent chaos in the future.
But as the cooperation between the two companies deepens, the scale becomes increasingly difficult to grasp.
Because he didn't want to express his opinion, he had to get naked to scare off the admirer Uesugi Teruhu.
As a result, Uesugi Terutora had no choice but to use his own method. He turned around and raised his butcher knife high, using blood to scare the Echigo samurai family not to interfere in the emotional dispute between the two governors.
The problem seems to be solved, but in fact it is just delayed. As the dispute between the two families deepens, more and more explosives will be piled up.
One day, the problems that have been covered up will blow up the hypocritical male cousin Shiba Yiyin.
Shiba Yiyin really couldn't think of a solution, so he could only bury his head and pretend to be an ostrich, trying to get over it first.
During the off-season after the summer harvest, he left the imperial palace and returned to Tomei Castle in Central Vietnam to inspect the 150 imperial people selected by Honcho Shimancho.
