After listening to Suzuki Heavy Industries' words, Sabei's face instantly became gloomy, and he got up and asked Suzuki Heavy Industries, "Goroubei, I was calculated by him?" ”

After hearing this, Suzuki Heavy Industries nodded and said, "I just figured it out today that from the moment Nanjo-sama visited the lord in person, the lord, including me, has been calculated by Nanjo-sama. Suzuki Heavy Industries suddenly stopped, looking down and thinking about something.

Seeing this, Sabei and Fujido Takatora both stared at Suzuki Heavy Industries, waiting for Suzuki Heavy Industries to speak again.

After a period of tranquility in Sabei's house, Suzuki Heavy Industries spoke again: "Lord, Lord Nanjo should know that he can't help these wealthy families, and these wealthy families will be his own burden and burden, so after finding out the day of the lord's return, he put on a good show for the lord!" ”

After hearing this, Sabei fell into deep thought, thinking about the performance of Nanjo and his son after his return. After pondering for a while, Sabei looked up at Suzuki Heavy Industries in front of him and said, "Sure enough, it seems that I underestimated Nanjo Karukei." ”

Then Sabei said: "Okay, Gorou Guard, let's write this down for the time being, although Nanjo Terukei calculated me, but I also gained a lot from it; However, this incident also caused the prestige of Nanjo Terukei in Nanjo County to decline, and it is estimated that many of the wealthy families in the vicinity will come to Momoyama Castle in the future! ”

Yanbi Sabei said to Suzuki Heavy Industries and Fujido Takatora: "You guys go back first, I have already written the standing knowledge of the collection, and you can take it to the nearby wealthy clan later." Saying that, Sabei told Suzuki Heavy Industries and Fujido Takatora about the dozen or so letters on the case, and then asked them, "Has Sukeemon returned?" ”

When Suzuki Heavy Industries heard this, he bowed his head to Sabei and said, "He hasn't returned yet, did the lord send him out?" After hearing this, Sabei said to Suzuki Heavy Industries: "That's true, it seems that that person yesterday was indeed a little tricky!" All right, you guys go! After Suzuki Heavy Industries and Fujido Takatora left, Sabei once again took out his pen and ink and wrote a letter on the desk.

In the evening, Sukeemon appeared in Sabei's house in the dust. After reporting the situation to Sukeemon, Sabei said to Sukeemon, "You go back and rest first!" "Yan Bi Sabei took out his previous notes with the army and wrote some of his opinions on the battle of Mt. Hino.

After finishing this, Sabei got up and walked outside, looked at the moon in the night sky, and said with a smile: "Nanjo Teruki is really a scheming person, and you can't take his scheming lightly. However, Nanjo Terukei sent Nanjo Teruaki to show his loyalty to the Oda family, and judging from the current situation, although Nanjo Terukei did something that damaged his reputation, it dispelled the Oda family's worries about him.

It seems that Nanjo Terukei saw it really thoroughly, and he wanted to throw himself into the Oda family completely. Although some of the wealthy clans had the intention of throwing themselves in, most of the local wealthy clans still obeyed the orders of Nanjo Terukei. This move is really good to retreat into advance, and let yourself be hit.

"This matter has come to an end, or hurry up to expand the soldiers in Momoyama City, Ichizong has always been a bomb buried in Echizen, and I don't know when it will explode!" Sabei muttered to himself to the moon in the night sky. Then Sabei smiled and went back to the house to sleep.

A few days later, Sabei gathered about 300 people in the vicinity. However, after Sabei cleaned the disciples of the Sect of the Sect among the more than 300 people, there were only one hundred and twenty-three people left. Sabei looked at the people in front of him, who had eliminated most of the people, and said to Suzuki Heavy Industries: "Goroubei, you go and choose twenty to thirty people to form an iron artillery team!" ”

Suzuki Heavy Industries nodded and limped into the crowd. Suzuki Heavy Industries was in the crowd, asking the surrounding crowd while gesturing with his hands to something, and after some selection, finally selected 25 people.

After completing the selection, Suzuki Heavy Industries walked up to Sabei and said: "Lord, these are mostly people who have been exposed to iron artillery, and they can keep up with the training, but is the number of these twenty people in the iron artillery team too small?" ”

Sabei listened to Suzuki Heavy Industries' words and said with a smile: "At present, there are nearly 100 iron cannons stored in Momoyama Castle, but I want these more than 20 people you have trained to know the ashigaru who can only use iron cannons, but the samurai who know how to cooperate with each other and know about iron cannon tactics; In the future, the iron cannon will become the main force of the war, and I want to prepare for the expansion of more iron artillery teams in the future, I think Goroubei is not just a retainer who can only teach people to use iron cannons, right? ”

Suzuki Heavy Industries nodded after hearing this, and said to Sabei: "I am determined to live up to the trust of the lord!" ”

Subsequently, Sabei organized the remaining 98 people into five groups, and appointed Fujido Takatora and other old team leaders as team leaders. Minami Teruaki was appointed by Sabei to lead the Nanjo clan of twenty-one people composed of protons sent by nearby wealthy clans.

After the formation was completed, Sabei arranged for the newly formed standing to be housed in the ashigaru longhouse of Ninomaru, and took out the captured skuzu and blades from the arsenal of Momoyama Castle and distributed them to the new standing station.

After learning that Sabei had recruited a group of people, Nanjo Terukei immediately transferred some idle equipment from Nanjo Castle to Momoyama Castle. Seeing this, Sabei accepted the equipment one by one and wrote a letter to Nanjo Terukei expressing his gratitude.

After a few days of training for the new editors by Suzuki Heavy Industries, Fujido Takatora and others, the Kaima Yoshiya led his people from Koyama Village in Omi to Momoyama Castle. Sabei looked at the clansmen with bows behind the Seahorse Yijia, and said to the Seahorse Yijia with a smile: "Yijia, your clansmen are organized into a bow team, and you will personally manage it!" After hearing this, Haima Yijia looked up at Sabei, paused for a few breaths, walked and bowed his head to Sabei and said, "Thank you for your trust!" ”

At the end of the day's training, Sabei summoned Suzuki Heavy Industries and others to his house. After a day's training, these samurai were physically and mentally exhausted, but they had to pretend to be full of energy in front of their lords.

The Sabei at the top looked at the appearance of the samurai under his door, bowed his head and said to everyone, "You have worked hard today! ”

When Suzuki Heavy Industries and the others heard this, they immediately bowed their heads and said to Sabei: "The lord has also worked hard!" ”

Sabei looked up at the samurai in front of him, smiled as if self-deprecating, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, now that the standing equipment of Momoyama Castle has begun to take shape, after a period of training, you can defend Momoyama Castle, and you must continue to work hard to make Momoyama prepare and fight with my enemies twice as strong!" ”

After listening to Sabei's words, Minamijo Teruaki was a little stunned, and after hesitating for a few breaths, he bowed his head and said to Sabei: "Lord, is it a little difficult to let Momoyama prepare one enemy and two enemies?" Although the 100-man team left behind by Shibata-sama is strong, how can the newly formed standing reserve be able to defeat one against two in a short period of time? ”

After hearing this, Sabei swept his eyes over the retainers in front of him, and then said with a smile: "That's why I summoned you here to discuss together!" ”
