Chapter 553 Nobunaga's Legion

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 a decree in due course, abolishing the tax office, clearing up the trade routes, and enjoying the market.

Although the demolition of the tax checkpoints harmed the interests of the local samurai family, it injected vitality into the Oda family's business and will receive continuous returns.

Oda Nobunaga knew very well that he was at best a shallow believer, and Honnoji Nichigen did not expect her to stick to the Nichiren sect.

The original deal between the two was to provide shelter for Nichiren sect believers.In the future, he will take revenge on the Tendai Sect and the Ichiko Sect, and avenge the Nichiren Sect's sufferings.

Honnoji Nichigen is serious about doing things for her, strengthening the power of the Oda family, and it is also the power that makes the Oda family inseparable from the believers of the Nichiren sect.

Oda Nobunaga wants to get the help of these pious believers who spare no effort, so he must fulfill his promise and not break the contract.

This is a tacit understanding between the two sides.

Oda Nobunaga stepped forward a few steps, snatched the iron cannon from Ashgaru's hand, played with it, and asked in his mouth.

"How much does this iron cannon cost?"

The workshop on the side responded respectfully.

"Return to Your Highness, Wuguan."

"Five strings?"

Oda Nobunaga looked at her in disbelief, and after getting a definite answer, he cursed at the sky in the direction of Sakai Port.

In order to build her own iron cannons, she spent a large sum of money to buy iron cannons in Sakai Port. One set cost thirty-five sticks, which was a discounted price for mass shipments!
Now that I know the cost of the construction, I immediately hate the profiteers in Sakai and Hong Kong.When she controls Sakai Port one day, those guys must pay the price!

When she calmed down, she asked.

"Why is it so cheap?"

The workshop pursues sincerity.

"Your Highness, iron cannons originated in Tanegashima, and the price was one hundred guns at that time.

Afterwards, the recipe and craftsmen were tricked by Sakai Port, and they cooperated with the people of Kii to open workshops, and the craftsmanship has been improving.

In fact, the craftsmanship of the iron cannon has matured a lot, and the cost has naturally dropped.Therefore, the people of Jiyi country can equip iron cannons on a large scale to fight.

And don't look at the iron cannon, which only has five guns. The related projectiles, gunpowder, and matchlock all need to be equipped, and these consumables also need to be manufactured.

Outsiders don't understand these crafts, and only earn ten times their price, which is not considered greedy in the shortage of military supplies. "

Oda Nobunaga's face twitched, she was the kind of ignorant and taken advantage of before.

She pointed at the target again and asked.

"I feel that the target seems to be far away, more than twenty steps away."

Respond with a bow.

"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 a person accurately, you still need a few iron cannons to fire. "

Oda Nobunaga nodded, ignored her, and fell into deep thought alone.

The previous iron cannon had a range of [-] steps, and at a distance of [-] steps, only salvos could guarantee hitting people.

The range of a bow and arrow is eighty steps, and accurate shooting requires fifty steps.

If the killing range of iron cannons can reach eighty paces of a bow and arrow, then firing a volley of iron cannons can form a barrage of damage at fifty paces without being precise.

The armor-piercing power of iron cannons is far more powerful than that of bows and arrows.

Moreover, ashigaru can go into battle after a month of training, which is a far more useful consumable than Ji Wushi.

She looked up to her side, and those who came to observe with her were her direct ministers.

"Mori Kasei, how is the ashigaru training?"

Sen Kecheng bowed.

"Reporting to Your Highness, it is somewhat difficult.

The three and a half spears you requested are too heavy for the Ashgaru. "

Generally, the long spears used by ashigaru are two and a half long, and the long spears for knights on horseback are only three long.

And Oda Nobunaga actually asked his direct backup team Ashgaru to train and use three-and-a-half super long guns, which caused Mori Kasei and Kawajiri Hidetaka a headache.

Oda Nobunaga sneered.

"I gave them a position and a chance to rise, so what's the point of dissatisfaction?
Get lost if you can't do it!There are some people who want to come in, and those who can't form a spear array with three and a half long spears before the autumn harvest, all of them will be driven out by me! "

"Hi!"

Oda Nobunaga is not a good man and a believer. She has given benefits to the ashigaru, so she must squeeze out all their potential.

What kind of military reform are you going to do if it doesn't work?It's better to continue as usual!
There is a faint expectation in her heart, the ultra-long spear formation composed of ashigaru, protecting the iron cannon ashigaru, and shooting at the rushing enemy troops.

Using the aggressive ashigaru of the Oda family, coupled with super long spears and iron cannons, is enough to defeat any samurai team!

She glanced at the regiment of direct ministers, including the leaders of her mother's clothes and the standing team.

To achieve this goal, it is necessary to abandon the traditional mobilization of samurai teams, and form a full-time reserve team one by one. Only with full-time professional ashigaru can effective use of super long spears and iron cannons.

The system of territory mobilization is too backward, Ji warriors should not be lords, but commanders under her command.Let them fight wherever they go.

The more Oda Nobunaga thought about it, the more complacent he became, his eyes bent into crescent moons, imagining a bright future.

The power of the Oda family should become my pawns and win the world for me.

Step by step, slowly transform them.

---

In Owari, Oda Nobunaga is solidifying the legion system in her mind.In Echigo, Uesugi Terutora also got his wish in violence.

The Echigo samurai finally felt terrified when they saw that Nagao Masakei and Usami Sadamitsu both died inexplicably.

For a while, Shiba Yoshihiro and Uesugi Terutora gave a lot of money and gave a lot of benefits.I am afraid that each family will not accept it, and I am afraid that each family will not agree with Echigo's integration.

This seems to have given the Echigo samurai an illusion that they seem to be awesome?

Now, Uesugi Terutora used the most ruthless means to kill two family faction leaders who were not guilty of death.

Let these hot-headed warriors cool down together, so that they can understand their situation clearly.

Your aunt is your aunt after all, don't be too arrogant.

Yoshihiro Shiba watched coldly and did not intervene.Since entering Echigo, he has always been in conflict.

He wanted to share the power passed by Uesugi Terutoro.And he doesn't want to make any emotional commitment to her, in case there will be chaos in the future.

But with the deepening of the cooperation between the two, the scale is becoming more and more difficult to grasp.

Because he didn't want to express his opinion, he had to be naked to frighten Terotora Uesugi, who was in love with him.

As a result, Uesugi Terutoro had to use his own method, turned around and held up the butcher knife, frightened the Echigo Samurai with blood, and did not interfere with the emotional dispute between the two governors.

The problem seemed to be solved, but in fact it was only delayed.As the entanglement between the two deepens, the explosives will pile up more and more.

One day, the covered-up question will blow up Yoshihiko Shiba, a hypocritical male cousin, to the sky.

And Yoshihiro Shiba really couldn't think of a solution, so he could only bury his head and pretend to be an ostrich, and let's get past it first.

During the slack season after the summer harvest, he left the Imperial Palace and returned to Tochio Castle in Chuetsu to inspect the [-] Otai people selected by the head of the village.
