Great name!

Chapter 29 Contradictions
The iron cannon head, also known as the iron cannon general, can lead up to a hundred troops. However, Oda Nobunaga directly asked Nobutora to lead the 300-man iron cannon team. Even Sasaki Narimasa and Takikawa Kazumasu were also assigned to Nobutora. Under his command, he is responsible for commanding the left and right teams.

The power displayed by the iron artillery team in the Xuanjin battle was enough to shock everyone. No one dared to underestimate Nobuhu and his iron artillery team anymore.

Oda Nobunaga's reputation greatly increased as a result of this battle, temporarily stabilizing his family's status.

……

In Suemori Castle, Shibata Katsuie led his troops back to the city.

Shibata Katsuie returned to the Honmaru and returned to Oda Nobuyuki.

Oda Nobuyuki asked: "Katsuie, is my stupid brother already exhausted?"

Shibata Katsuie shook his head and said: "This matter is not what you think, Nobuyuki-sama."

"Huh?" Oda Nobuyuki asked doubtfully, "Isn't that idiot Oda Nobuyuki my brother's rival?"

Shibata Katsuie nodded and said: "Yes, we thought this battle was going to be a bloody battle, but the master of the family sent his iron artillery team to fight. After only three rounds of shooting, the guardian army collapsed, and our army killed them effortlessly. Arriving at Qingzhou City, we recovered Fukada and Matsuba."

"what!"

Oda Nobuyuki was shocked. He didn't expect this battle to be so easy. His intention to see a joke was in vain.

He didn't want to believe it, but he knew Shibata Katsuie wouldn't lie to him.

"That means I can't fall out with him for the time being?"

Shibata Katsuie shook his head and said: "Nobuyuki-sama, the time is not yet ripe, and the vipers of Mino are also eyeing Owari. He will never let anything happen to the master of the family."

Oda Nobuyuki couldn't help but said loudly: "Then when should I wait? It was obvious that my father wanted me to be the crown prince, but my father suddenly died of illness.

That should be my position, I should be the head of the Oda family! Damn it, it was Nobunaga who killed his father! "

Shibata Katsuie didn't take it seriously and admonished: "Nobuyuki-sama, anger is useless, we must wait for the opportunity."

Oda Nobuyuki suddenly felt bored. He stood up and said, "I understand. Keep sending people to keep an eye on my stupid brother. I will kill him myself."

"I understand." Shibata Katsuie saluted and respectfully sent Oda Nobuyuki away.

……

In Furuno Castle, Oda Nobunaga was very satisfied with the power of the iron cannon in the battle of Xuanjin, and he was also very satisfied with Nobutora's command.

At the evaluation meeting, Oda Nobunaga rewarded Nobutora with many financial gifts as a reward.

Subsequently, Oda Nobunaga held a meeting of retainers. Those who could attend the meeting were Lin Xiuzhen, Hirate Masahide and others. Even Nobutora was not qualified to sit in the meeting and could only listen in the corridor outside the door.

Oda Nobunaga was the first to say: "This time you have also seen the role of the iron artillery team on the battlefield, so I decided to buy more iron cannons."

Lin Xiuzhen secretly frowned, thinking that the stronger Oda Nobunaga was, the smaller the chance of Oda Nobuyuki's rebellion being successful, and he had to find a way to stop it.

But Masahide Hirate spoke up before him.

"My lord, the cost of iron cannons is too great. Three hundred is already the limit!"

Hirate Masahide immediately gave words of advice.

Oda Nobunaga had a straight face and clenched his teeth. He suppressed his anger and said, "If you really don't have any money, just borrow it."

Hirate Masahide is not as careless as Oda Nobunaga. The interest on borrowing money will snowball and gradually bring down the Oda family. Moreover, once the news comes out that the family needs to borrow money, it will definitely cause people's turmoil, and the Oda family will be destroyed soon. !

He lowered his head and said, "I'm really sorry, but I can't obey the order of the head of the family."

Oda Nobunaga snorted coldly, stood up and said, "That's all for today, let's go."

After that, he left. In the room, only a group of retainers were left looking at each other.

Lin Xiuzhen smiled secretly, and then comforted Masahide Hirate and said, "Oh, it's pitiful for Hirate-sama's good intentions. I don't know when the family master will understand the painstaking efforts of us veterans?"

He patted Masahide Hirate's shoulder, then stood up and left.

Other retainers also stepped forward to comfort Hirate Masahide and left.

Hirate Masahide straightened up and looked at the direction Oda Nobunaga left, with a worried look in his eyes.

"Ugh…"

Hirate Masahide sighed, stood up and walked out.

Nobuhu was still walking in the corridor.

Hirate Masahide looked at Nobutora and said, "Master Tsuda, I want to talk to you."

Nobutora was a little surprised, but he still got up and followed Masahide Hirate to the other courtyard.

The two sat opposite each other, and Hirate Masahide was the first to say: "This time, I have seen the power of the iron cannon on the battlefield. It is indeed very powerful, but it also has many shortcomings, right?"

Nobuhu nodded and said: "Yes, the iron cannon has many shortcomings, but its power is undoubted."

Hirate Masahide continued to ask: "Then do you think the more iron cannons, the better?"

Nobuhu also heard the argument in the room and said, "It's true. The more iron cannons there are, the stronger the combat effectiveness of the iron artillery team will be."

Hirate Masahide sighed and said: "It seems that the world is about to change again."

Nobuhu didn't know how to comfort the old man, so he could only say: "Sir Hirate, the world is always changing, and the only constant is change."

"Oh..." Hirate Masahide groaned and nodded, "What you said makes sense. Tsuda-sama has a bright future."

"Thank you, Lord Hirate, for your compliment." Nobutora was a little flattered.

"Let's end our conversation today." Hirate Masahide said, then stood up and left.

Nobuhu was a little strange and felt a little baffled.

But he didn't think much about it. Seeing that Hirate Masahide was gone, he got up and left the other courtyard and came to the school field to train the iron artillery team.

On the school field, Sasaki Narimasa and Takigawa Kazumasu are training the iron artillery team according to the iron artillery team training manual.

Sasana Narimasa looked at the team below and asked the new colleague on the side: "Sir Takigawa, are the iron cannons in Gyeonggi Province also used in this way?"

Takigawa Kazumasu had just joined the Oda family. He was excluded from the Kyoto shogun's family and had no choice but to come to Owari to join his brother Takayasu Norikatsu.

When Takayasu Nobori learned that his brother was serving as an iron cannon leader in the general's family, he recommended him to demonstrate his iron cannon skills to Oda Nobunaga. Oda Nobunaga was overjoyed and recruited him as a retainer to serve under Nobutora.

Takigawa Kazumasu originally thought that he was proficient in iron artillery and dared to be second in the general's family. He did not expect that he would be subordinated to a young general. However, when he saw the iron artillery team trained by Nobutora, he did not Lost temper.

After seeing Nobutora's iron artillery skills, he was convinced. Especially since the iron artillery team defeated an enemy force five times his own in the Xuanjin battle, he no longer dared to brag about his iron artillery skills.

Takigawa Kazuki sighed: "Gyeonggi's iron artillery is just the light of fireflies, Tsuda-sama's iron artillery is the light of the bright moon. How does this compare?"

Sasaki Narimasa was surprised: "Didn't the iron cannon come from Sakai?"

Takigawa Kazuki was also full of doubts, how could this happen?
