"All right. That's it for today's training"

"Thank you!

Shall I come to Ozhang for a few days? I began to teach swords to the children "woes" in a school building called School. Thanks to a bamboo knife and protective equipment called "Don't", it's good to be able to train without worrying about injuries.

The awkward are not going to serve in the Kuyuan family or the Oda family. Nevertheless, people can't live without money.

Some places welcome martial artists, but it's not comfortable just eating rice. It's true that it's hard to get paid with a sword.

"Give, not take"

Was the rumor heard in Kusanaga true? Someone rumored that Oda had grown by giving rather than taking it away.

Kusanaga's merchant denied it and wronged Oda, but he also heard that Oda had helped deliver Kusanaga's ship when it came across where it sank.

Whatever, I hear it's tough on the enemy, and I hear it's more intolerant of battle than being a samurai.

"Shinsuke Hall. Good place. I'm sorry, can you help me with some of this?

"I don't mind. Let me accompany you."

"I'm sorry."

At the end of the children's training, Lord Yaro asked them to join the bandit's crusade. Is the place a rough temple on the outskirts of Qingzhou?

"One pair from the surface, two pairs from the back. No thieves left. I don't mind slashing and throwing them away."

"Is it the prisoner in there?

"Probably. They attacked a merchant in Qingzhou the other day."

Did you say guard? The Awkward and the Brotherhood, along with soldiers defending the whole town, were to expel the thieves. The thief will be a stranger.

There is alcohol in the rough temple and there is noise, but I can hear a conversation that is not Ozhang Tsubaki. As with the awkward, I thought it might have flown from Kusanaga, but was it still so?

There are many Koga people in the Kuyuan family and Naguno. I know it feels broken, but they call it a sneaking crowd in Kuyuan's house, and they work inside and outside Oozhong.

Looks like they found this thief anyway.

"A cannon."

"We have no power like Shinsuke."

The first hand seems to shoot the thieves with an iron gun. There are 30 allies, but there are more than 10 thieves. Don't be a riot.

"Let the awkward take on the handlers"

"Please."

The thieves scatter as their allies enter the rough temple, fighting back as they hide in the building. He slashes in like he waits to shoot out the artillery in a coarse way, but he slashes and throws out no one else with a knife.

I like the reward. I have to work for what I get.

"Brilliant."

"Awesome..."

The thief had a face he saw in Kusanaga. They looked surprised for a moment when they noticed this too, but they wouldn't be bothered to join them. Awkward people have never had a hand in a person's things.

"Shinsuke. It worked great, didn't it? Now drink as much as you like."

I ended up crusading with no one left. When the awkward return to the mansion of the Kuyuan Hall, where they are left to take care of the aftermath, Lord Julia invites them to join the liquor festival.

In Kuyuan houses, you don't have trouble with alcohol and rice, or valuable items are usually served as meals. The whale meat grill was served as a liquor dish on this day, and the awkward ones were also served as recommended.

When I mouthed expensive whale meat, my father's face floated.

Will it be good in Willow Raw by now? He would have lived a painful life, even though he subordinated himself to Tsui to survive the house. Thinking about it makes my mood a little more complicated.

If you ask me, it seems that the Koga crowd in Kuyuan's house was in a similar situation, and a lot of people came to tailgate having trouble living.

"That's right. Shinsuke, are you going to the martial arts tournament? If you want to get out, I'll recommend it to you."

"Are you sure?

"Oh. I'm not leaving Atashi and Ceres, though."

All the ministers' brothers and sisters or even the families of the sneaky crowd are troubled in the Kurumi family. After a little thought of envy, Lord Julia told me about the martial arts tournament.

When Oda's palace opens a martial arts tournament by those in the realm, the town will be talking about it. I was interested.

It seems that martial arts artists outside the monopoly can also participate, but they need someone's recommendation.

"Please."

Lord Julia or Lord Ceres would have won. Do we have to shy away from women? A tremendous opportunity to try your own martial arts and sell your name, though. Yes, let me join you.

side: Kuyuan Yima

"Hmm. Not bad."

This day he was testing a prototype Flintlock musket gun at a shooting range in the corner of the mansion's garden. It's the original world-sized long barrel, two-foot, 70-cm-size short barrel, and pistol-sized short barrel. Celebrations and sneakers were equipped with flint-rock short cylinders ahead of time, but they didn't have a bad reputation.

Flintlock is simply a gun fitted with a firestone, not a fire rope. By the way, the firewire gun should have been called a matchlock type.

The strengths and weaknesses lie in each. The advantage of the flint-rock type was the risk of ignition eruptions by the fireline of the gun of an adjacent person during shooting due to dense conditions when it was a fire rope, but that is much less.

Disadvantages include underdevelopment and reduced hitting rates, but become indispensable for the collective operation of artillery.

Historical facts seem to have passed on to the Edo period, but they say it was not popularized because it was already the world of Tahei or because of the quality of Japanese firecrackers.

"This was built by our craftsmen, so maybe not even in Nanban yet"

"Wow. That's amazing."

If you're simply going to shoot, a conventional fireline gun would have a better chance of hitting you. As an Oda family, there are about five hundred iron cannons delivered by us last year and a total of seven hundred iron cannons of two hundred clones held by us.

The Oda family also lends money to Migawa and ministers, and holds about 300 in Tsingzhou and Naguno. You just want the Flintlock formula to increase the number further ahead and run the group.

Nobunaga is testing himself to make sure he feels it. He seems to be concerned about some bluffing when compared to a fire rope gun, but explaining its advantages and drawbacks would give him an assessment that it's not bad.

"In the meantime, you plan to deploy the short barrel shape to the guards. Because long guns are out of the way all over town. By way of example, I'm going to try it on the Three Rivers."

Well, Nobunaga said he liked the short cylinder. Let me give you a few because you seem to want them. And then there are plans to deploy a short barrel to guards who are struggling to maintain law and order recently. Because it's easier to get around the city and easier to hit than a short cartridge. We need to be careful that no one deploys this one on a troop-by-unit basis, flushes it sideways and resells it.

I guess the standard long barrel shape is a live test on the Three Rivers as usual. They've made peace with Mitsugawa lately, but it's going to be about a skirmish in the winter. At least I can't leave it in Qingzhou or Naguno for testing in action.

"Is it still an iron cannon from now on?

"What do you think? Because you should reduce the number at all before approaching it as a real problem. However, if you just shoot, is it advantageous to have less time to learn than a bow?"

The value of artillery is certainly being conveyed in the Oda family. End before it's mostly active in the Qingzhou offense. But he was active when he was in Shijieshima, and he was very active in naval warfare off Kamakura.

Especially since the Navy has a hard time getting on and fighting the other ship. Though the effect of long-range artillery seems to be high. Unlike a bow, it's big enough to shoot from behind a shield. But if it's land war, the bow can be flexed, so it has the advantage of being able to hit from the rear of an ally or from the back of a fence, so I guess it won't completely replace it.

Some of them will hear critical voices, but I guess it's jealousy and emotional theory that cannons can't align expensive objects.

I can't even say that the value of spears, knives and other martial arts actually crashed. I don't think it's a good idea to criticize him for his emotional theory, though.

As things stand, the battle is second to none, and I wonder if the Flintlock ceremony will be active in action for the time being.

――――――――――――――――――

Fire Musket Gun

It will be a type of gun, known in Europe as the Flintlock type. The theory of the Kuyuan family, although theoretical, was the first to develop it.

It is seen that the short cylinder used by Celebration, described in the Kanto Road Zhongji in the seventeenth year of astronomy, hits it. There is also a statement that a horse said it was a prototype, and it seems certain that Kuyuan's house was making improvements to the musket gun because there is other evidence.

Although some European scholars in particular recite a different theory.

Originally, Kuyuan's musket guns were made with exceptionally high technology at the time, and it is clear from research and research into existing objects that they were also advanced in metallurgical and manufacturing techniques.

Although the detailed manufacturing process is not obvious with no material left, it is obvious that it had been obtained earlier than the passing of a volcanic gun to Japan, and it is only certain that it had been manufactured independently, including gold cannons with no physical remains.
