Pillars of the Wu family

Yoshiki Kira looked at them, and Yoshiki Kira looked at them, and Yoshiki Kira spread his hands, and the knight whose name he didn't know shrugged at him with his mouth curled up...

Yoshihiro Kira called Frank Argot urgently and asked him to hire a person who is proficient in English and German as an interpreter. The two-year contract also pays a total of [-] pounds. Of course, this interpreter also needs to be a part-time teacher to teach him how to use German. .

In fact, silver trading is also something he likes to see, because the Portuguese have realized that the value of gold in Japan is high and the value of silver is low, so they directly poured in a large amount of gold to exchange for silver. Japan's gold production is simply worthless compared to silver. It can be seen that more than 2000 tons of silver have been mined from the Crane Gold Mountain in Sado, and the gold is only a few tens of tons.

It feels like a small loss to do this business. Throwing out a salary worth tens of thousands of Yongle dollars at once, it is impossible to say that it is not painful, and the uncles invited are all expensive, if not He still has considerable assets, and that salary alone is enough to bankrupt him.

The twelve horses were specially sent back to Sakamoto Castle by him as treasures, and he also specially sent horses back to protect these horses, one for protection, and the other for keeping secrets. To the task of keeping the horses secret.

"The climate here is good, suitable for the growth of horses." The horse trainer Carl, a dull Englishman, saw the scenery of Lake Biwa near the river, but said: "This horse is only three years old, and it will take two to three years before it can be trained as a war horse. , but I suggest you better breed it as a horse breed, as there has always been a habit of breeding horse breeds in continental Europe."

Looking at the tall and strong horse surrounded by a group of horse warriors who looked around curiously, they had never seen such a tall horse.He is taller than a human being.Moreover, the fur is shiny and the eyes are sharp. At first glance, it is a peerless famous horse.If it weren't for the order from Kirayoshi not to approach them, these guys might have to get into the stables to sleep with them.

"I understand this!" Yoshiki Kira nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Twelve horses cannot form an effective combat force. Breeding horse breeds is a long-term process. I think you can teach the apprentices in two years. How to raise a horse?"

"It's hard to say, a qualified horse trainer needs three to five years of teaching, a smart mind and hardworking hands, you have to know. Only you are proficient in English here, so..." Carl shrugged and said you understand .

"Okay! Let's talk about this later! What if these horses are transported to a colder place? Will there be any adverse effects?"

"A colder place? I don't think there is a problem! The Trekena horse is a horse breed bred by the Teutonic Knights, and the Holstein horse comes from the northernmost point of North Germany. It is different from the delicate and expensive Arabian horse. They are both It is an excellent horse breed that is very cold-resistant.” Karl walked into the stables with Kirayoshi, stroked the neck of one of the strong Trakehner horses, and said: “They are very smart and sensitive little guys, just arrived at the new home , I am still a little uncomfortable with meeting some new partners. You must know that life on a rough ship for several months is not so wonderful.”

"Fortunately, I have you as an excellent horse trainer, otherwise I would really be in trouble!" Yoshiki Kira asked, "Will there be any problems with the treatment of illness? Should I ask the veterinarian to help?"

"Our horse trainers are born veterinarians. The illnesses of these little guys should not trouble me. Of course, it would be great if you have your veterinarians to help." Carl nodded at him after saying this, and left Kira Righteousness, went to serve these little ponies.

When Kira Yoshitoki was bowing his head in thought, he heard someone shouting softly: "Master, Master!"

"Huh? It's time." Following the prestige, Shan Gang, who was poking his head outside the stable door, called him in a low voice. Yoshitoki Yoshitoki knew what he wanted to say, so he shook his head and walked out.

Yamaoka Shichang said excitedly: "My lord, are these horses for us?"

"Of course it's...impossible!"

"...Uh, why not give it to us?" Shan Gang fell from the peak to the bottom for a long time, "Oh no! I mean, even if you don't give it to us, you have to give it to the owner!" A group of horses beside him returned When the samurai stared at Kirayoshi with wide eyes expectantly, it goes without saying that he must be very longing.

Yoshishi Kira felt that he had indulged them in the past few years, and it was time to beat them, so he lowered his face on the spot and scolded: "This is a famous horse for breeding. Do you know what breeding is? Is it important to give you a good time, or breeding?" More important? Learn to think before speaking in the future, don't try to ask me, understand?"

"Yes! Your servant understands!" Yamaoka Shichang bowed his head on the ground in trepidation.

"If you understand, don't hang around in front of the stable." After leaving this sentence, Kira Yoshihito turned and left the stable.

After dealing with the problem of the British horse trainers, the next group of North Germans, these guys are more troublesome, the worst thing is that they can’t speak English, so they have to translate German into English through a translator. Nobuyuki Matsui called him over to be a stenographer. While communicating, Yoshihiro Kira was still working hard to learn German grammar. Fortunately, it seems that there are many similarities between English and German grammar, and he can speak simple spoken English in a few days .

It didn’t take a few days, and many people knew that there were a few blond and blue-eyed Nanmans from Sakamoto Castle, and they were also Nanban warriors. They were hired by Kira Yoshishi to serve as instructors with high salaries from thousands of miles away, and soon there were warriors from Mikawa. Asking about the situation of these southern barbarian warriors, it seems that he wants to compete with them.

A series of Mikawa samurai came to ask for a fight, which annoyed Kira Yoshishi. In the end, he decided to hold a public trial match at the Nimaru teaching ground of Kira's family. Tiao Shixiu, and the opposite is a genuine Teutonic knight named Hans of Nassau, there is still a big difference between the two sides.

"The trial match begins!"

Nakajo Tokihide carefully observed this enemy. The height of 1.9 meters has an absolute height advantage. It seems that he is not familiar with the curved wooden sword. The increase of the curvature makes the balance of the blade completely different from that of the knight sword. Nakajo Shi Xiu grasped this point, and immediately tiptoed and rushed towards him.

"Snapped!"

Hans, who was still carefully adjusting the grip of the sword, suddenly slashed him with a knife, accurately blocked Nakajo Tokihide's travel route, and blocked his footsteps. The imperative thrust rhythm was broken, Nakajo Tokihide Xiu keenly realized that he had fallen into a dangerous situation. This feeling was like a beast being stared at by a hunter. A sense of discomfort from the bottom of his heart forced him to fight back.

"Clap clap clap!"

Nakajo Tokihide combined vertical and horizontal slashes one after another, and even used a rare jumping slash in the last blow, but it was still easily followed by Hans. At this time, Nakajo Tokihide, who had exhausted all his strength, immediately regretted it , He was too confident in his own strength, and he rushed to attack when the enemy and himself were unknown, and pursued one after another unwilling to be reconciled to one blow, and finally put himself in a dilemma.

Many samurai watching from the sidelines also noticed Nakajo Tokihide's flaws, and Yamamoto Tokiyuki said: "Since the situation is messed up, Tokihide has already lost."

It was too late for Tokihide Nakajo to reflect, the next moment Hans' counterattack came as expected, all he could do was to retreat in a hurry to block, but the huge force when the two wooden knives collided broke all his illusions, the wooden knives were caught by this force Juli slammed it away violently, and the next moment the blunt tip of the knife had already reached his throat.

"Hiss! This Southern barbarian has great strength and fast swordsmanship!" A layman watched the excitement, while an expert watched the doorway. None of the warriors in the arena was a layman, and all of them practiced swords or spears, even those who practiced archery Naito Masamari also has good swordsmanship, of course they can see how powerful this Southern barbarian warrior is.

"Very powerful swordsmanship! Very violent fighting skills, but I like it!" Yoshihiro Kira stood up and applauded first, and then the sparse applause sounded one after another, and Hans also stepped back, drew his sword and saluted with a smile.

"This is too violent! This is the number one master of my Kira family!" Some young samurai were very unconvinced, shouting that the victory was invincible. Hans seemed calm about some criticisms, and learned from the translator's report He said: "It's the body God gave him, so there's nothing wrong with him doing it, he didn't hurt the samurai, did he?"

"Tell him that in this skill competition, speed and strength can only be compared relatively fairly. Don't forget that you are here to be an instructor, and students who are familiar with you can teach them better." Yoshitoki Yoshitoshi said to the translator : "I don't think he is used to using wooden knives, so let the two sides use unsharp weapons for trial!"

Hans shrugged his shoulders to express his understanding. In the following competition, the two sides replaced their weapons without blades and gradually reduced their strength. It will not take long before they can achieve the same strength as Nakajo Tokihide. German knight swordsmanship is indeed very good. Powerful, the ball on the half-hilt of the hand can be used as a lever to rotate around the wrist. The skill is very clever and the speed is very fast.

Although Hans has slowed down, but his body is too tall and his arms are very long, he can easily attack Nakajo Tokihide, but it is difficult for Nakajo Tokihide to get close to the effective attack range, so this battle The destined unfair duel was finally terminated by Yoshitoki Kira. He first let Tokihide Nakajo go to rest, and then Takatsuna Watanabe went into battle with a scythe gun.

Hans is also proficient in knight spear skills. Whether it is horse fighting or foot fighting, it is very common in Europe. After a few trials with Watanabe Takatsuna, Hans still ended with an easy victory. Next, the unconvinced samurai entered the field They retreated one after another, and even though they were ashamed, this group of people still insisted that it was just the Nanman warriors taking advantage of their size and strength.

"I really don't want to repent!" Seeing that there were still people who couldn't face up to the gap in skills, Kira Yoshitoki ordered simply: "Let Rupert and the others go!" (To be continued...)
