Sabei listened to Suzuki Heavy Industries' report and said to Suzuki Heavy Industries: "Goroubei, the big Qiu you said is presented to me for a look!" ”

When Suzuki Heavy Industries heard this, he immediately waved his hand to Chang Bei behind him, and Chang Bei, who was serving beside him, immediately presented the big Qiu he was holding in his hand to Sabei, who was full of curiosity.

Sabei took the big fur, first stroked the soft fur on the surface of the big fur, and then unfolded the big fur in his hand, and after looking at it, he said to Suzuki Heavy Industries: "What kind of fur is this?" ”

After hearing this, Suzuki Heavy Industries immediately introduced to Sabei: "This is a fox fur, which was made by a merchant from Echizen who bought the fur from the local hunters in Echizen and processed it himself. ”

At this time, Sabei glanced at Suzuki Heavy Industries, who had a relaxed look, and the retainers around him, and found that everyone did not show much awe of the fox. So Sabei smiled and said, "Echizen, it didn't take too long to leave Echizen, but there is always a feeling of being like another year!" ”

The retainers also sighed when they heard this, and then laughed with Sabei. After everyone exchanged ideas, Sabei put away the fox fur and ordered the retainers beside him: "Okay, let's go back to Jicheng!" Hearing the order, everyone hurriedly tidied up their clothes, and after saluting the Sabei Guard, they turned over and followed the Sabei in the direction of Kuniyoshi Castle.

Sabei, who slowly walked out of Sakamoto Town, glanced back at Sakamoto Castle, and then smiled and whispered, "Your hundred iron cannons are not so easy to take!" Then in the eyes of all the retainers, he waved the horsewhip in his hand vigorously.

As the sun gradually rises into the sky, the outline of Sakamoto Castle is submerged in the rolling hills of Kita-Omi. As Sabei and his entourage walked slowly along the mountain roads of Kita-Omi, Suzuki Heavy Industries suggested a short break to Sabei after inspecting the standing guards who were following behind him.

Hearing this, Sabei glanced up at the sky, and by the way, wiped the fine sweat off his forehead. After arranging some defense, Sabei and his party rested on the side of the mountain road in Kita-Omi.

Fujido Taka, who was sitting on a stone on the side of the road, also took the opportunity to ask Sabei about eating. Hearing this, Sabei agreed to Fujido Takatora's proposal without thinking, the mountain roads are difficult to walk, although these mountain roads are not difficult and dangerous to do, but they are also quite laborious to walk.

Under the guidance of Fushiwa Akijiro, most of the attendants and standing guards lit a fire, and everyone kept warm while the cold rice balls were heated by the fire. Sabei also sat around the fire with his humerus, discussing the recruitment of standing equipment and other training plans. Saying that, Suzuki Heavy Industries suddenly asked Sabei Guard: "My lord, this hundred iron cannons plus the iron cannons captured and purchased by the family, the family already has more than 250 iron cannons, I don't know if the lord has other plans." ”

After listening to Suzuki Heavy Industries' words, Sabei looked at the retainers around him. After realizing that everyone was in deep thought, Sabei rubbed his hands that were hot from the fire, and said to everyone: "I plan to build a fifty-man iron cannon group, which will be in charge of the right Ichisuke, and Goroubei, you will be responsible for selecting the experienced standing guards to fill this group, and the rest of the plans will remain unchanged. ”

After saying this, Sabei said to Suzuki Heavy Industries beside him: "Goroubei, do you know what kind of iron cannon you can shoot on horses?" ”

Suzuki Heavy Industries was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said to Sabei, "My lord, an iron cannon that can shoot on a horse?" If it weren't for the samurai, it would not be easy for ordinary people to stabilize their bodies on horses, let alone hold iron cannons and change ammunition on horses! Even if you can make a horse barrel, it is difficult to form such a military force on a large scale! ”

After listening to Suzuki Heavy Industries' words, Sabei nodded and did not speak. At this time, Fujido Gaohu on the side also interjected: "My lord, although there are not a few samurai who are proficient in the way of guns now, but shooting on a horse, not only will they lose their accuracy, but the requirements for equestrianism will be stricter, and the time it takes to train such a military posture is not a year and a half!" ”

Fujitang Gaohu said, and added: "However, if the lord cultivates such a military force, he will surely have an extremely powerful special force in future battles!" ”

Sabei glanced at the sleek Fujido Takatora, and said with a smile: "Now the strength of this family is not enough to train such a military force..."

Before Sabei's words fell, the attendant in charge of the guard on the side noticed the situation. Everyone immediately got up and picked up their swords and stood on guard, and Sabei also took the naginata handed by Heiji, nodded to the attendants on the side, and was immediately guarded by more than ten attendants in the middle.

Fujido Takatora also immediately picked up the ten-character gun in his hand, and the right Ichisuke, who was holding the naginata, approached the servant who gave the signal with the rest of his standing standing.

Just when everyone's nerves were highly tense, Fujido Gaohu took the lead in coming back from the front. Fujido Takatora walked quickly in front of Sabei and said to Sabei and his colleagues, "It's a group of merchants, and the merchants at the head say that they came from Echi. ”

After hearing this, Sabei glanced at Suzuki Heavy Industries on the side, and Suzuki Heavy Industries immediately understood, and followed Fujido Takatora to the discovered merchant with his saber. Fushiwa Akijiro, who was guarding Sabei with his sword, looked forward with one eye, but was surrounded by constant obscurity.

Sabei looked at Suzuki Heavy Industries and Fujido Takatora who were leaving, and said to the retainers around him: "Don't panic, wait until Goroubei and Yoemon return, and the situation will be clear!" ”

A moment later, Ichisuke and the others came to Sabei with a businessman-like figure. Seeing that Youichizuke nodded to himself, Sabei stepped forward and said to the merchant, "Why are you following us?" ”

When the merchant heard this, he immediately knelt down in front of Sabei and said, "The prestige of Lord Mingwei in Echizen is very admired by His Majesty, and it is really good to see your lord's bravery today!" ”

Seeing that the merchant answered the question, Sabei immediately became alert and glanced at the right Ichisuke on the side. Seeing this, Ichisuke on the right quietly put his hand on the saber at his waist, and also glanced at Fushiwa Akijiro on the other side.

At this time, Fujitang Gaohu said angrily: "The lord asked why you followed me and waited? As he spoke, Fujitang Gaohu kicked the kneeling merchant in front of him.

The merchant who was kicked down immediately fell to the ground and howled: "The villain has no other intentions, but there are bandits in the area of Kita-Omi, and the villain is afraid of being robbed by them, so he follows behind Lord Mingwei, hoping to use the prestige of Lord Mingwei to make the bandits retreat, and we can return to Echizen!" ”

Listening to the merchant's words, Sabei said to Fujido Takatora, "Okay, help him up!" ”

After hearing this, the merchant hurriedly got up by himself, and said tremblingly to the Fujitang Gaohu: "Don't bother the adult, the villain gets up by himself!" ”

When Sabei saw the merchant get up, he asked again, "Are those people Echizen's merchants?" ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, Sabei said to the merchant in front of him, "Higashi-Mihama, Mihama, and Kohama are all Omachi near Echizen, so why do you want to go to Nishi-Omi and Yamashiro Province?" ”

I'm sorry, I'm going to change it for the time being, I don't feel it in the past two days, I'm not in good shape, everyone let me adjust it, thank you for your support!
