Great name!

Chapter 30 Quarrel
Nobutora didn't understand what Hirate Masahide meant when he chatted with him, and he always felt a little baffled. However, seeing that Hirate Masahide didn't express his anger at him, he stopped thinking about it.

As long as Oda Nobunaga needs his talents, he doesn't have to worry about making things difficult for his family.

Moreover, he is now an iron cannon general, and his status as a retainer can be considered above average in his family, which cannot be achieved casually.

Nobutora came to the school with a sense of joy. He had been training these ashigaru for several months. Apart from the promotion of his position, there was not much change.

However, Sasaki Narimasa and Takigawa Kazumasu became his subordinates.

Nobutora had also just heard about Takigawa Kazumasu, who also participated in the Battle of Xuanjin and chopped off the head of a samurai.

Of course he knows the famous general Takigawa Kazumasushi. Anyone who has played the Japanese Warring States game will naturally be familiar with Takigawa Kazumasuke's name.

Nobutora met Takigawa Kazumasu. He was not tall, only over 1.5 meters tall, and he was a bit thin.

When Takigawa Ichimasu saw that his immediate superior had arrived, he immediately stepped forward and saluted: "I would like to pay my respects to Mr. Tsuda."

Nobutora quickly waved his hand and said: "Takikawa-sama, you don't have to be polite. Although you and I have not known each other for a long time, you don't have to worry. I am not a difficult person to get along with."

Takigawa Yiyi quickly replied: "Ha, I understand."

Nobutora didn't pay attention to his restraint, but he asked curiously: "Why did Lord Takigawa come to serve as an official in our family? I heard someone said that Lord Takigawa is the royal family member of the general's family."

"That was all in the past. Lord Tsuda may not know that Lord Shogun and Lord Miyoshi reconciled and returned to Kyoto, and I followed him back to train the iron artillery team for Lord Shogun.

However, Lord Dai Matsunaga, the guardian of Kyoto, has always been targeting the shogun, his attitude is arrogant and domineering, and he often interferes in the affairs of the shogunate.

After that, Lord Matsunaga focused on the iron artillery team, and as the captain, I was quickly framed and had to leave the general's house. "

Nobutora couldn't help but sigh, luckily he was in the Oda family, if he was assigned to another weird job, his life would be ruined.

Look at Takigawa Kazuki, the imperial family did a good job, but in the end, they were driven away?
Nobutora comforted Takigawa Kazuki and said, "Takigawa-sama no longer has to worry about this kind of thing happening. In the Oda family, as long as you complete the orders of the head of the family, you will be rewarded. You see, that's the case with me."

Takigawa Kazumasu also heard about Nobutora's deeds. He was promoted by Oda Nobunaga just because of his achievements in one battle. In the second battle, he was promoted to Ashigaru General. This promotion was too fast.

Such a living example is full of temptation for Takigawa Kazuki.

In order to be promoted as soon as possible, Takigawa Kazuki humbly asked for advice: "Master Tsuda, in the previous battle, why did you wait for the enemy to rush about fifteen steps before opening fire? That would be too dangerous."

Nobutora saw that Takigawa Kazumi was guilty of dogmatism.

He explained: "This is easy to understand. There are no iron cannons in the Qingzhou army. They still use bows and arrows, so I prepared scratches in advance to resist the opponent's arrows.

When the opponent uses a bow and arrow, he will not release the arrow until he is seven or eight steps away. In other words, before that, I don’t have to worry about them releasing the arrow.

Furthermore, even if they fire arrows, the damage caused will be within the range I can bear.

On the contrary, they rushed too close, and they became targets for the iron artillery team. "

Takigawa Kazumasu did not expect such a reason, and he realized that he had got into trouble. It turned out that Tsuda Nobutora was so bold that he let the enemy rush over before shooting, just because the opponent did not have iron cannons.

Nobutora seized the opportunity for the opponent to use old tactics.

If the opponent had an iron cannon, he wouldn't do this.

Therefore, Sun Tzu's art of war teaches that if you know yourself and your enemy, you can win a hundred battles without danger.

The Qingzhou Army did not know the situation of Nobunaga's army and despised the iron artillery, so it suffered a disastrous defeat. But speaking of it, the strength of the Qingzhou Oda family has been almost eroded during the Oda Nobuhide era. Even without Nobutora, Oda Nobunaga defeated Oda Nobutomo in the Xuanjin battle.

Nobutora and Takigawa Kazumasu explained, and then the three of them started training the iron artillery team together.

Now in Owari, only Oda Nobunaga's family is equipped with iron cannons. As for the other companies, they are more or less discouraged by the shortcomings and high price of iron cannons. Nobutora does not need to worry about falling behind in tactics. As long as the war starts, he can Use iron cannons to sweep through other people's troops.

When Nobuhu thought of this, he became even more motivated. General Shi was already waving to him not far away.

Therefore, he explained iron cannon tactics in more detail.

He was not afraid that Sasana Narimasa and Takigawa Kazumas had learned the art of iron cannon. No matter how well they learned it, it was Nobutora's credit.

Moreover, Nobutora's skills are not just iron cannons. Gaining political benefits by adding two major allies through iron cannon skills is far more important than iron cannon skills.

……

Time passed quickly, and Oda Nobunaga once again held a meeting of his family elders. He brought up the old matters again and once again proposed to buy iron cannons, but he changed his reason.

"In the iron cannon team, there are one hundred iron cannons that are almost at the end of their service life. I need to buy one hundred new ones to replace them. As for the old ones, I can negotiate with Tsuda Superintendent to trade them in for new ones and pay less."

Although the Oda family had just received a sum of money after the autumn harvest, Hirate Masahide had already arranged its use.

He still refused and said: "My lord, every money in the family has been put to use. We can't spare any money to buy new iron cannons for the time being."

Oda Nobunaga was very angry. Among these elders, even Hirate Masahide, who supported him, opposed it, so the others would not agree even more.

He immediately said: "Why is the family short of money? I think the appointment is incompetent. Jiuxiu, please don't take it as such. Zhensheng, you can do it."

Murai Sadakatsu was a little surprised, but the master of the family had given the order, so he could only lower his head and say: "Ha, I accept the order."

Hirate Hisashi had an angry look on his face, but he still bowed his head and accepted his fate.

Oda Nobunaga snorted coldly and said: "Sadakatsu, find a way to raise some money!"

"Yes."

Oda Nobunaga stopped paying attention to the others, stood up and left directly.

And Hirate Masahide looked at Oda Nobunaga who was determined to have his own way, and closed his eyes in pain.

Hirate Hisahide returned home and said angrily: "Father, look at the head of the family like this now, he looks like a madman!

You supported him so much and were loyal to him, but how did he treat our Hirate family!

Father, I can’t bear the insult this big fool has brought to our family. In my opinion, we might as well join Nobuyuki-sama..."

"Snapped!"

"Auntie is tired and scared!"

Hirate Masahide did not hesitate to slap Hirate Hisashi.
