With the return of the Takeda family to Kai, the situation in Shinano has become clearer, and the rebellion in Saku-gun and Ogasawara's long-term campaign to conquer Suwa have become more and more apparent.

At this time, Ueda Nobukata, who should have been active, fell silent, and now he threw himself into his blacksmith shop, and the ashigaru people were training every day.

Iwasita Kiyoshi is the age when he is eager to make a contribution, and naturally he doesn't want his family to drag Koheirajiro back.

Seeing that his son was so attentive, he naturally did not be stingy, he took out his savings and cleared it for Iwashita, so that he could be presumptuous.

In the past few days, Ueda Nobukata has spent a lot of time in the blacksmith shop, and the four pipes are about to be punched, and the next step is to build the other structures of the iron cannon.

This is much less difficult than drilling.

Of course, after the iron cannon was built, Ueda Nobukata did not plan to give the ashigaru more training, and an iron cannon was basically on the verge of exploding after twenty or thirty rounds.

Moreover, in terms of lead bullet, Ueda Nobukata is still very dependent on imports, and he does not have the conditions to build it on his side.

Therefore, Ueda Nobukata trained the ashigaru to shoot five times at most, and when the time came, he could only load his ammunition in advance and wait for the enemy.

Ueda Nobukata has no financial resources, and is supported by the money he has obtained before, so he can only pray that he can get a piece of Zhixing land this time.

Just as Ueda Nobukata was training Ashigaru, a samurai rushed to Iwashita Village and found Koheirajiro.

The person who came was a close attendant of Murakami Yoshikiyo, named Yazaki Heizou, who was a master of using a bow and arrow, and it was he who shot Ganli Hutai.

is now the son-in-law of the Yazaki family, and he has been favored by Murakami Yoshikiyo, and his future is no worse than that of Ueda Nobukata.

Ueda Nobukata saw Yazaki Heizou coming, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Yazaki Maki, why are you free to come here?" ”

Yazaki Heizou smiled: "It was the lord who asked him to come down to find Ueda, and he didn't disturb Ueda in the next place, right?" ”

Ueda Nobukata said with a smile: "Yazaki said that the most important thing is that the lord summoned him.

Ah, by the way, I heard that Yazaki and the Takeda family's military advisor Yamamoto Kansuke are somewhat familiar? ”

When Yazaki Heizou heard Kansuke Yamamoto's name, his face became unnatural.

Ueda Nobukata was afraid that Yazaki Heizou would misunderstand, so he hurriedly spoke: "Yazaki Maki, don't get me wrong, I just want to know something about Kansuke Yamamoto."

You should know that knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, Yamamoto Kansuke is the military advisor of the Takeda family, and the more you know about the enemy, you can better protect the main family.

Moreover, if the Takeda family makes a comeback, your Yazaki family will be in a small prefecture, and you will bear the brunt of it at that time. ”

Yazaki Heizou nodded and said, "I understand, but when I met Kansuke Yamamoto, I was just a farmer, so I couldn't help Ueda much." ”

Ueda Nobukata nodded regretfully and said, "That's a pity, let's go and see the lord first." ”

He also heard from the Suda family that the head of the Suda family wanted to marry Ajiu of the Yazaki Jugoro family as a concubine, but Yazaki Jugoro refused.

Then Ajiu married Yazaki Heizou as his wife, and Heizou was considered to be rich and inherited the name of the Yazaki family, so suddenly there were some rumors.

Ueda Nobukata's impression of Kansuke Yamamoto is mainly based on some information or the images provided by the two Taiga dramas "Takeda Shingen" and "Wind Forest Volcano".

For such a famous wise general, Ueda Nobukata does not have the slightest contempt for him, and his current advantage over the Takeda family is mainly because of his foresight, and the Takeda family does not know that he is such a number one person.

With mixed feelings, Ueda Nobukata came to Murakami Yoshikiyo's residence.

Today, Murakami Yoshikiyo summoned Ueda Nobukata mainly because of the three big guys.

They told Murakami about what Ueda Nobukata had done in Iwashita Village, and Murakami did not agree with Ueda Nobukata's method of training Ashigaru.

He was very optimistic about Ueda Nobukata, so he felt that he should teach Ueda Nobukata.

Ueda Nobukata was guided by Yazaki Heizou and came to Murakami Yoshikiyo.

Murakami Yoshikiyo looked at Ueda Nobukata and said, "Nobukata, what have you been doing lately?" ”

Ueda Nobukata hurriedly paused: "Lord Qiyu, my subordinates have been in Iwashita Village recently, mainly for two things, one is to urge the craftsmen to create secret weapons, and the other is to train Ashigaru to deal with the Takeda family. ”

Murakami Yoshikiyoshi thought that Ueda Nobukata was slacking off, but he didn't expect him to be quite attentive, Murakami Yoshikiyoshi smiled: "Hehehe, in fact, I've heard about you, but what's the use of your method of training Ashigaru?" ”

Of course, Ueda Nobukata was not ready to elaborate, so he had to explain: "This is all to cooperate with the secret weapon. ”

Murakami Yoshikiyo nodded and said, "I understand, you did a good job." ”

Then they chatted a few more words, and Murakami Yoshikiyo let Ueda Nobukata leave.

Ueda Nobukata's mood was not very good, and he learned from Murakami Yoshikiyo's questioning that what he was doing, Murakami Yoshikiyo didn't pay attention to at first.

But Murakami Yoshikiyo knew that his affairs were told to him by others, and it has been almost a month, who will mention it at this time?

And Murakami Yoshikiyo came to himself today, if he didn't say it right, he would definitely be taught a lesson, and in Murakami Yoshikiyo, his impression score was much less.

I can think of this with my toes, I'm afraid it's something made up by the three big guys.

These three big guys clearly want to squeeze him out of Ueda Nobukata.

Ueda Nobukata was even more resentful about this, these three big guys had already taken most of the cakes, and now they didn't even give him some leftovers, which was really hateful.

The three big guys are different, especially the Rakuyanji Mitsushi and Yashiro Masashige, Ueda Nobukata wants to do things now, he should obey their commands, and he should report to them if there is anything.

But since the council a few days ago, Ueda Nobukata has not come to worship the pier, how can the three of them bear it?

The three bosses couldn't get over the face, so they decided to make Ueda Nobukata suffer a little, but their plan didn't succeed.

After Ueda Nobukata was cut off by the three big guys before, he had some temper with the three big guys, so naturally he didn't go to see him, which led to today's incident.

After he came back, Iwasita Naka said something about the situation, but Ueda Nobukata didn't make concessions to this, since he had already offended, to make amends at this time would only make others look down on him.

In this way, there is only one way to go to the dark.

For this reason, Ueda Nobukata has high hopes for the iron cannon.

Under the supervision of Ueda Nobukata, the craftsmen worked overtime to finally get four pipes, and over the next two days, they created other accessories.

Soon, four iron cannons were built.

This iron cannon is 1.2 meters long, which is 20 or 30 centimeters shorter than Ashigaru, and to be honest, it's not very good for ammunition.

So when the time comes, on the battlefield, at most one round, this is also something that cannot be helped.

Ueda Nobukata can only ask Murakami Yoshikiyo to give him a bow foot light group to make up for the shortcomings of firepower.
