The Space Fortress That Came to the Sengoku Era

side/Kuyuan Ichima

Ozhang was in a lightning season.

All of Nobunaga's bad friends are back at home mowing lightning, and the last few days have been quiet days.

Nobunaga at heart, he's not just coming to us like he does every day, he's not playing. He seems to be encouraging academics and practicing martial arts and so on, and he's quite busy.

We have a lot of plans going on, but we're actually talking about it after people get together, and honestly, there's not much we can do at the moment.

"Heh. Tea ceremony."

"It's pretty good stuff. If you stay until the Heisei Era, you may become a national treasure class"

Especially if Nobunaga and the others don't come, the merchants from Tsushima and Hota will come to say hello.

You all bring souvenirs, so I even brought a horse to a tea bowl in a hanging shaft.

Tea ceremonies may still be quite popular among the upper classes and wealthy.

Personally, this era of tea ceremony just seems like a rich man's road trip. Nobunaga of Historical Facts used that for politics, didn't he?

Well, I know you agree or disagree, but I guess it's up to you to give the grace award a tea bowl of dirt and the right to have a tea party.

It would be nice if the consciousness of the samurai, who are only interested in martial arts, were changed at all, and it would be a reward.

"I don't even hate matcha. I don't like being tough."

I think cultural diversity is a good thing.

So far, Nobunaga has never heard him say he likes tea ceremonies or tea utensils. Since Mr. Jing Soo seems to be a culturalist, maybe he's learning from him.

I just got a tea bowl because of it, and I'll try to learn it in the tea ceremony sometime.

Warring countries don't really entertain like that, do they?

"Kazu. I hear there's a ship in the harbor. Can't you ride?

Even on this day, I was napping on the edge because Nobunaga and the others were not coming, and after lunch Nobunaga came with all the lowest surnames.

"I don't mind riding, but I'm landing my luggage, so I can't move the ship."

I don't mind.

Sometimes, I wish I could take a slow nap on the edge. I said I wanted to get on the boat this day. Well, it's stopped. If it's enough to put you on a boat, you don't mind.

You've been saying you want to get on the boat for a long time. I didn't give it a ride because it wasn't the right time.

"You're a big ship whenever you look at it. And the shape of the sail is complicated."

In the end, Me and Elle were coming with Nobunaga to the Galeon ship that was landing luggage at the harbor.

As a matter of course, the Galeon ship is surprisingly big when I get on it. Nobunaga is interested in the shape and meaning of the sail up to the number of sail columns, and asks questions about it.

It's naturally El who's answering. I don't know that much about sailboats.

"Is this the cannon?

"Yes, it is."

"Wow! With this it would be a piece of wood dust, such as a castle around it!

"It's powerful, but it's pretty heavy, so it's hard to just carry it ashore."

Nobunaga, who did not hide and show the part that would be partly over-technology, but would see it from the bottom of the boat to the warehouse and steering room until he was satisfied, was still most interested in the cannon.

It's certainly the latest bronze cannon in Europe.

But do you think of the castle as a piece of wood dust because you still don't know how hard it is to fight in real life? Nobunaga himself said he had finished his first battle before planting in the spring.

To the extent that I heard it lightly, it looks like he just set fire back in the Three Rivers as it was in historical fact. Apparently he was unhappy with that, too.

"It's a hassle to carry."

"It's not easy to operate. Gunpowder is vulnerable to moisture and stuff. It's not that easy to make him hit again. Well, if you shoot the numbers, you'll be able to destroy the castle."

I'm not thinking in the wrong direction. The battle of this era will not be sweet enough to win where one or two cannons are aligned.

They're just fighting this era, throwing stones and stuff, aren't they? Compared to that, shooting a cannon would increase your chances of winning.

"If you can lose more power than a cannon, there's also a way to make a cannon out of a tree. And some things that have slightly increased the caliber of the artillery in Nagorno."

"Cannon in a tree? Are you okay with this?

"Of course, if you use it a few times, it'll break."

"Mm-hmm. You have a lot going on unexpectedly. Can you get the whole thing?

"Yes, it's quicker to let them build when it comes to wooden cannons, but we'll carry cannons of different calibers on the next ship"

Oh, Elle, tell me about wooden cannons and even big cannons.

By the way, you have the most firerope gun in the Oda family, we are, aren't we?

Seems like there are a few of them in Ancient Castle and Naguno Castle, but when I told him I had brought in a hundred dings, he was surprised by Mr. Jing Soo.

I guess it's part of the force. Poor hitting rates and no rain or no moisture are expensive even though they are hard to handle. It's not the kind of thing that dominates at the moment.

I guess we just have to get some numbers together and make up for the poor hit rate with numbers. That one. Nevertheless, it is not a mistake to fight with firepower, so should we teach it early?

"Kazu. Can you shoot a cannon in here now?

"You'll make a scene. It sounds amazing."

I don't mind.

Nobunaga, I'm sure it's a good place to put your eyes, but you're a child after all. I can't help but want to see him shoot the cannon.

I have no choice but to warn the people who are landing their luggage on another ship and try shooting one.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I've never seen a cannon like this, have I?

Actually, it's the disguised robot that's letting the ship fly. When you can add gunpowder and balls, the cannon blows fire toward the sea side.

"Wow!"

"Awesome."

"This is it! This is what we need for battle! But now the castle has to think about it. The protection of the castle will no longer make sense!

When all the small surnames raised their voices of surprise at the sound of the cannon, Nobunaga also became excited about its power.

Hmm. If you use cannons from this era, you're certainly willing to speed up the gear of history. But there's nothing you can do about it.

"Kazu. How many of you have a Nanban ship and this cannon in Japan?

"Come on. I've never heard of you, so I don't think you're here. The Nanbans won't give it away easily either."

"There's still a lot to learn."

The Galeon ship itself cannot be considered a particular threat, even if there are a few.

But from the people of this era, I guess it looks like an unknown weapon.

Nobunaga seems to be feeling anxious while relieved that other big names and others are unlikely to have Galeon ships or artillery.

Unlike cheating people like me, I also felt like asking a little bit about what it looked like from a real warring age person.

Japanese ships of this era are never just small, but they are fundamentally different because they are the ships for which they operate off the coast of Japan.

Does Nobunaga dream of sailing on a Galeon ship someday, too?

――――――――――――――――――

Lord Nobunaga noted that on this day Nobunaga had allowed the Nanban ships to be quantified and cannoned.

At this time, Nobunaga was described as surprised by the power of the cannon, and it will also be said that the later prototype of the Oda Army was born on this day.

As for Kuyuan's Nanban vessel, it is clear from various materials that it was the newest Galeon vessel at the time, but it is uncertain when Kuyuan Ichima had been in possession of the Galeon vessel and how many.

However, from the frequency of vessels entering Tsushima, it was considered that they possessed from a few to more than ten vessels, and it was even quite possible that they had the largest trade in the Far East at the time of their subordination to the Oda family.

It should be noted that the Oda family at the time, even though they did not even have Ozhang unification and did not possess the Navy, were nevertheless indirectly lucky enough to possess a Nanban ship, which later developed into a disturbance several times.
