Reincarnation Life to Toyotomi Hideyoshi Beginning with the Adversity of the Successor of Tai Chi (formerly known as: The Dream of Tai Chi - Reincarnation War to Toyotomi Hideyoshi Beginning with Adversity)

………

……

Keio 11 (1606) On March 2, the "Toyotomi Ministerial Meeting" held at the school president's mansion concluded the conversation of the unorthodox manoeuvres by saying, "I will abbreviate the son of Tokugawa Jiayang for the sake of Tokugawa Jiayang's strategy," and then the topic moved on to the matter of armaments.

So I, Hideyoshi Toyotomi, decided to start mentioning weapons.

"As we have been talking about earlier, it is clear that the aim of Tokugawa Shogun is' Restrictions on the Procurement of Artillery and Ammunition '.

So far, let's say the role of 'artillery' in today's world is enormous "

"Yeah... that hasn't changed at all, even in exotic countries.

I have to say that the amount of artillery in our possession is directly linked to the difference in power. "

And all Akashi replied in a pale tone to my words.

When I nodded in tune with the words too, I asked Soyo Ishida for his opinion on the 'iron cannon'.

When Soo-yong corrected his posture, he even began to talk about his current situation.

"There are two main things about procuring artillery.

One is production by holding artillery blacksmiths. The other can be found in imports from exotic countries.

However, as for production, the bases of Sakami, Kunimitsu and Omi fell entirely into the hands of Tokugawa, and now Tokugawa's monopoly is also about imports from foreign countries.

When this happens, the merchants will have to buy only a few things that flow to them for a very high price. "

"But, as all the temples said earlier, the amount of artillery would remain the difference in power?

What am I supposed to do? Father! "

Mr. Horiuchi waves his words to me to be pessimistic.

So I decided to state my thoughts.

How that doesn't fit into this world's 'mould' either.

"There's still more to it than making it here."

"Does this... mean... no way... at Toyota School...?

The surprise of Yoshiji Otani inquired with a tendency to interrupt.

"Dear Hideyoshi. That won't happen."

Soo-yong gives me a harsh look.

I turn my sharp gaze to him so that I don't pull a step against that look.

Then Soo-yong continued in a harsh tone, as did his expression.

"If this Toyoku school is used as a production base for artillery, it must happen to be exposed to Tokugawa.

Because this school is also open in Tokugawa. "

"Zong Ying Palace. I am aware of ten such things.

Still, I need you to go to this college. "

"But! That's impossible..."

And where Soo-yong raised his voice, I controlled him with my hands.

"We don't make the artillery itself.

I need you to make blueprints for the artillery!

"Blueprint…"

When Soo-yong got into words with a rough face, I started to tell him the truth.

"The school shall make blueprints for the artillery and the production of the artillery shall take place elsewhere"

"But! If you still know where the artillery is being produced, you must be stopped at Tokugawa's hands by chance!

It is only in the hands of Tokugawa that the artillery blacksmiths fall!

"It's not! Let me assure you! Catching the artillery blacksmiths is an impossible story for Tokugawa!

Everyone stares strangely at me for proclaiming that.

Their gaze is a mixture of expectations and insecurity. It feels so good that they're focused on me.

And I told you something 'shapebreaking'.

"Because I don't need a blacksmith or anything."

"Become... what..."

"It's 'Blueprints' that we make at the school.

It shall describe the method of casting and processing for each part.

Let the parts be made in the temple territory within Toyotomi territory.

The temple will undergo considerable repairs or pay for them.

As much as processing iron and woodcuts inside and outside the country, the punishment of the Divine Buddha is too much. "

"Then… make the parts of the cannon individually and assemble it at the end…"

"Uhm! You're right!

Assembly shall be carried out in a long-distance storage unit.

If you assemble it at Osaka Castle, it's going to be a lot of trouble.

Besides, if you are a long-distance collector, the eyes of Tokugawa will not shine, even if tons of supplies are brought in, unless that is clearly in the form of artillery!

My proposal is in the form that existed "naturally" in the original world. So to speak, it is a form of division of labour that separates the parts factory from the assembly factory.

But by this time it was still common sense for the blacksmiths to carry out all the processes alone, so it might have been surprising if they had taken it in front of them.

A manufacture that sees the entire Toyotomi territory in a single factory, so to speak.

But only Souyoshi Ishida seemed to care about what lay ahead, and he immediately regained his calm and asked me.

"But you have to carry the artillery that you assembled in your long stay to Osaka Castle. No matter how vast your long stay is, there are limits to how much you can tolerate.

How about that? "

"Hmm, is there any way to carry supplies safely, but secretly, from a long stay..."

It was then that they began to worry.

Xuanton Osaki opened his mouth with a blur.

"How about the basement..."

Yukimura Maida devoured the statement.

"Hundreds of people... are you!!

This could be a plan!

In an excited way that did not suit him, Yukimura said with pleasure, after which Genguchi continued.

"From time immemorial, the Takeda family held the so-called Golden Mountains, called the Hundred Foot People… those who dig the Golden Mountains.

After the Takeda family's demise, I hear the clan has become scattered, but they still live secluded somewhere in Kofi.

Once again, if it can gather them together and create an underground tunnel connecting Osaka Castle from a long stay, it will be a cannon, but it will be a man, but he must be free to come and go. "

I was so moved by the suggestion that I stumbled out of nowhere.

"Ooh!! Genji!! That's great!!

Then this time, Guiguang Hiroshi, with the same sinister face, said in a low voice.

"If this means connecting in the underground tunnel from Long House to Osaka Castle, why not create a giant collection in the basement of Maidamaru, the castle's exit?

In other words, it connects the long residence to Maidamaru's underground cage. "

"I see!! That's good too!!

Now, for the construction of the underground tunnel, Lord Xuanton!

And the popularity of Makotamaru's underground zoo is, Lord Kwai!

I'll leave everything to you lords!! I asked for it!!

"Yes, I did. We will now begin where we gather the hundreds of people."

"It's my pleasure. If you do, we'll get right to it."

"Uhm! I asked you to! And the Zongyong Hall!

And when I turned to Souyong, he grinned and nodded slowly.

"Yeah, I know.

We will select the perfect person to make blueprints for you if you do.

Plus, let's equip you to make parts, not just blueprints. "

"Uhm! Nice to meet you!!

Now there will likely be one way to procure iron cannons.

Then the challenge left is… ammunition.

The raw materials of the ammunition, if it is a fire rope gun, are certainly charcoal, sulfur, and nitrous stones.

Of these, charcoal and sulphur can probably still be procured without problems, but nitrous stones are difficult to collect in Japan.

For this reason, it should be the current situation that relies on imports for most of them.

Princess Kofi seems to be aware of that, and she's begging me.

But what about the nitrous stones?

And Tokugawa will have a cow in his ear. "

I was studying in this world myself.

And as a result, we arrived at one 'shapebreaking' method.

It's...

"If you can't import it, there will be nothing else than to make it!!

That was it.

"Huh!? They make nitrous stones!!?

I bumped my mind against Princess Kofi, who was so surprised.

"I once read in the main temple that nitric acid, which is based on nitrous stone, was produced with horse urine on yomogi."

Soo Yong politely continued to explain the matter.

"After drying a large quantity of yomogi, line it up on dirt that avoids rainstorms.

Put horse urine and silkworm shit on top of it and overlap the yomogi again.

Finally, soil them from above.

And wait about four years and nitric acid will form.

But to make this happen, it's important to secure 'tons of yomogi' and 'soil from rainstorms'.

Let's do that. "

Towards Zong Ying, who has asked me that, now Xuanzhen answered with a little excitement.

"One collar, one foot! Why don't you take advantage of the Kushiro Foot of the Long Sect Mori Palace and let them create a large herbal field in the open spaces of the territory!

"Uhm! That's where you make a ton of yomogi! That's good, Lord Genji!

Soo-yong continued against me and Genji, who were so excited.

"Then let's have" Soil Avoided by Rainstorms "…"

I said this in a small voice so that Mr. Goodness did not fit a good body.

"Father, then what about the dirt directly beneath the temple building...?

All eyes gathered in the twinkle to Mr Goodness.

Mr. Good Book said something out of place, and he shrugged his neck.

"Sorry! It was too much imitation for me.

And I'm desperately apologizing for some reason.

But...

"Horiuchi Hall!! That's a good idea!!

and when Zong Yong revealed his joy out loud, everyone on the spot said, "Wow!" He raised his voice.

Mr. Hattori looks around a little bit, not knowing exactly what happened.

And one paragraph later, I gave instructions to Mr. Goodness out loud.

"All right! This whole thing is Mr. Horiuchi, Lord Sam!! Leave it to the Lord!!

Lead the three of my surnames in Osaka Castle, namely Reisei Kimura, Gideo Ono, and Yuku Horiuchi, the son of the Lord, in the opening of the herbal fields and in the production of nitric acid under the temple mansion!

When Mr. Goodness turns a bright red face and rejoices that my opinion has finally come to pass,

"Thank you!! Be sure to check it out with the help of this Mr Horiuchi, Father!!

And he was stiffening his fists and motivating them.

I set that deadline for such a good man.

"I want the deadline for this matter to be fully serviced by next year's Celebration Twelve Years (1607).

I want to entrust you with a big job after that!

"Oh! Father!!! Whatever you want!! Gahaha!!"

And, Mr. Goodness is laughing heavily as he bangs his big breasts.

In the mean time...

"Horse! Looks like we need a ton of horse urine too, but that doesn't work!?

and cast doubt as if Princess Kofi had remembered.

I hadn't thought about it at all, but I could only think of one thing if this happened anymore.

"Let's lend each farmer in Toyotomi territory a horse. It should also be available for farming to the extent that it moves and plows dry soil.

And instead of donating manure, gold and silver are applied as the cost of raising horses.

I hear that horses are already used to grow Uji tea. I'm sure it'll help.

Until the horses reach the people, let's get more urine than horse huts and horse inquirers in Osaka Castle. "

"If that happens, people's lives will be enriched, and even more useful for armaments..."

When that happens, is it later the procurement of horses... "

"On that point, Lord Xuanton. I'd like you to find out how many horses you can offer, mainly for horse regions in Kofi."

"I don't know what's going on now, but it's going to be worth a look on the ground. All right, I'll take care of it!

"Umm! Nice to meet you!

Now the aim was to manufacture artillery and procure ammunition.

I sit back in my chair relieved.

But...

There was one anxiety in my chest...

- Adjustment and artillery, these two alone, in this world of turmoil, so to speak, are what is in the 'mould'...

More... I want something more...

Without something else to step into, we won't be able to defeat Tokugawa troops in the Osaka formation with the gear of our time on our side as it is...

I don't think so.

With the aim of the artillery, I was thinking of somewhere around me boiling in joy without too many floating faces on my own.

The shadow of unspeakable anxiety overshadowed my mind and made me feel like a cloudy sky in late autumn, even though the people around me had a cheerful spring vibe.

That was the time...

A simple inquiry that could become a glimmer of light was thrown from the mouth of Yoshiji Otani, who was pure...

"By the way, is iron cannon the most powerful weapon of all, even in the time when Hideyoshi wanted it?

If you have a weapon more powerful than an iron cannon, you want to see it! Ha ha!

I was struck by a thunderbolt when I asked.

And eyes wide open.

Not artillery, more powerful weapons...

"Duh, what's wrong...? Dear Hideyoshi!?

Yoshiji looked into my face worried, and suddenly I stood up.

"Whew!! and what happened suddenly!?

Seeing Yoshiji blue-faced and surprised me like that, I screamed with a full grin.

"Weapons!! Let's start developing new weapons!!

"But... in this world, more powerful weapons than artillery..."

"Sure, the artillery is powerful. But the artillery has two major weaknesses!

That's the fact that the range is limited and that in today's artillery, which weighs on the inability to fire in series, it is vulnerable to melee.

Why don't we build a weapon to make up for these two!

"But what exactly..."

In response to Yoshiji's inquiry, I blushed with irrepressible excitement.

"You should have thought of weapons that could have been made in later times than this.

There are two things that I can think of at this point as possible if we develop current technology… "

"What are those two..."

Everyone's gaze gathered on me again.

I took my feelings strongly for those gazes.

I don't know if this is the right answer.

Still, if you don't move, if you don't back off, nothing changes, even if it's incorrect, you just have to act.

Yes, I believed him and told him what I thought so I could bite him off.

"A gunsword and a grenade launcher... no, in this day and age... throw a bullet... these are the two!

and…

After this, the first "Toyotomi Ministerial Meeting" took place when Zongyong undertook to proceed with the study of new weapons and the cultivation of new crops.

When I go outside, my whole body is wrapped in a soothing, calm air. But my feelings were still there.

If I can, I want what we discussed today to be wasted...

I didn't wish it that way.

Because…

If history could be changed, Toyotomi and Tokugawa would just fight, because there are people nearby who grieve...
