"Princess, you're done."

"This is it...."

"Yes, this is a cannon."

"So, here we go!

Finally, the Izumo Fire Rope Gun is complete!Well, it hasn't been a month since I started making it.Besides, it was made by a national friend blacksmith.

Yes, I invited an artillery blacksmith from Omi to be able to make my own artillery in Izumo.

At first, I was a national friend blacksmith who was reluctant to invite me because I didn't like going to a country like Izumo or because my national friend's gun would not sell, but it was Neko who was holding the iron underlying the gun.

More than 70% of the iron used in guns made by our friends is sent to our friends through Neko.Neko has a large source of Izumo and Beluga sand iron.As well as Kinai, iron cannot be picked in the vicinity of Kinai, such as Norioo and Hokuriku.

Moreover, since iron production is inherently low in Japan, iron is unnecessarily valuable in this era.Well, even when times go down, it's valuable in Japan.

So, when I asked for a little smile, I was happy to fly to Izumo.Of course, Kotomo Village sent a few people out with pleasure.

So I built a gun blacksmith's workshop in Yakan Village next to Hishine Village.

Well, the faucet in the tap, that is, the power that holds the source, was one thing that made me realize that it wasn't halfway there.Long live market control!

You're not threatening me, are you?Please.

"So, how many cannons can we make on the moon?

Well, if I'm used to it, I'd say two a month on my own.

Hmm, there are only four of them who have come to mentor us from our friends.They make a total of 8 units per month, about 100 units per year.But since technical guidance is the main thing, it might be a good place to have 50 of the finest ones.

Besides, they are planning to return to Omi in about two years because they have promised to produce guns in Izumo.In the meantime, we need to train one of Izumo's artillery blacksmiths.

"The people we gathered at home, the swordmakers and the field blacksmiths?

"Until you get used to it, you'll be fine once a month.There should be a lot of defective products at first.But blacksmiths are blacksmiths, and I think they get used to it fast. "

I see.

Since the basic foundation of slapping iron is the same, is it better several times faster than growing amateurs from scratch?But everyone is an amateur at first, so if you're willing, you should have an amateur apprentice.Otherwise, the next generation won't grow.

"If you make a lot, you don't just need a blacksmith, you need a craftsman who makes karakuri and a craftsman who makes wooden tables."

"Okay. I'm going to collect it."

Because making a firecracker gun is a division of labor.Each craftsman combines parts to complete a torch gun.

Well then, please continue to teach me how to make and forge guns.

"Ah, leave it to me!I can't resist the princess's request. "

If this goes smoothly, next year or next year, we will have a small but artillery squad deployed to Neko.

So, what happened to Yamabuki Castle, turned over to Maori?

I can't help it. I'm just leaving you to praise me.

I mean, I'm surrounded by soldiers and attacking with food.I hear there are about 500 soldiers caged in Yamabuki Castle.Even if you attack the castle by force, you can't drop it, but there is a problem with the soldiers in the cage.

Originally it was a castle of Neko, so naturally everyone knows who to attack and who to protect.There are many soldiers who are dating relatives, even if they are not bad at it.Therefore, the attack on the castle with great sacrifice does not increase morale, so we leave it surrounded.

The number of soldiers escaping the castle is increasing.That's what Grandpa Taha said.Surrounded by Yamabuki Castle, the key silver mountain is back in Neko's hands.Well, there's a lot of soldiers there, so they're forcing me to waste money.

It's almost planting season, but how long has Nagashin Sakaga been in the basket castle?No matter how long you wait, Maori won't come to your rescue.

Yes, for Maori, Nagashin Kaga is nothing but a stone for time.

This is what happens when I speculate on Māori's future strategy for destroying pottery and Ouchi in Itsushima.

Maori only turned Nagashin Kaga over to restrain him so that he wouldn't let Neko interfere with his perimeter defense and Nagato's strategy.Of course, I think it would be best for Mt. Ishimi to get Mt. Maori as it is, but this time, it seems to have prioritized the defense chief's strategy first.

Even if I was Maori.Ishimi Ginzan is also important, but it is more important to take two countries.

Supported by this fact, Oshima, in Setouchi, in the eastern part of the perimeter defense, fell within last year, and Iwakuni County also fell into the hands of Maori last month.

It seems that Uga Island was cut to pieces.I thought the navy had a good relationship with each other, whether they were enemies or allies, but apparently they were different.I'm afraid of cutting roots.

It is not too late to take away Mt. Ishimi after destroying Ouchi as a Maori, and then consolidating the footsteps of Aki, Chosei, and Nagato.Yes, Maori originally thought about it, and I came to the conclusion that I was a little short of my head.

Therefore, the future awaiting Nagashin Sakaga in Yamabuki Castle can only surrender or starve to death.There shouldn't be so much food left.

That's what I thought....

"This light footsteps are my spring sister.Ah, I have a bad feeling about this.... "

"Dear Sir, it's tough!

Yeah, spring sister doesn't betray expectations.

"Have you attacked Maori?

"Yes! You got it!

I can't tell you in front of yourself that I'm judging by the footsteps of my spring sister.

Well... So, what happened?

"Three days ago, an army led by my uncle and Ogasawara clashed with an army of Maori Yoshikawa!

"Haru's uncle means Grandpa Tahou's younger brother, Masakuni.In that case, I wonder if the Ishimi no Muchi county of Iwaba and the Yodohara area became a battleground?

"Yes! You got it!

Well... So, what happened?

Why don't you kind of loop?

"It seems that Yoshikawa pulled up and returned to Aki after a skirmish."

"You're just here to restrain me."

However, from Deba to around Shinjo, Yasugi's home town of Yasugi Prefecture, Yasugi River, Yamakoshi is only 3 or 4 miles away.In essence, the Yoshikawa backyard is a neighborhood that is no exaggeration.

The village next to Dewa Village, about two miles away, is Grandpa Tahoe's Nakano Village.Now you should know how dangerous Nakano Village is.

The land of the eastern Ishimi kingdom lord is disturbed by the land of both Niko and Maori.For example, Ishimi Yoshikawa, a branch of the Yoshikawa River, is half isolated on the northern side of the river, in the region controlled by Neko.

On the other hand, Taha's place is on the south side of the river.

"Controlled?

"For Maori at the moment, defense is more important than Ishimi."

"I see. I want Ouchi to do his best to keep Maori from coming to Ishimi!

I hope so, but, well, it's probably impossible.Does Mr. Masuda have a few eyes on Neko?No, before that, will you get involved in a Maori dispute with Ouchi?However, it does not seem to be a bad idea to assist Mr. Masuda.I'll tell my father.

For me, south of the river is a completely abandoned land.Yes, I don't think it's bad for my spring sister and Master Taha, but at a time when the river of the Great River, which is said to be the most important in China, plays the role of a jetty for Maori, I can't protect the south side more than that river.

I have a headache about how to convince you... but if this is the territory that Tahou had on the north side of the river, I wouldn't have to worry about it.But it's not a problem that I have to tell you someday.

"Aside from the hakasa, the cherry blossoms don't bloom in the world."

"Whose song is that?

"Who was it?Someone from Fujiwara?It's not like a cherry blossom petal dancing around in the world, so life is boring. "

"You've reached your goal, haven't you?Besides, this year's cherry blossoms are coming soon. "

"That's right...."

It's cute and the contents are Osan, so I'll get to the point.

Well, that's not all, but....
