Since the new retainer Sugitani Zenjubo became the commander of the Iron Cannon Ashigaru, he began to conduct a three-month inhuman training for the 100 Iron Gun Ashigaru under his command, and in his heart, in addition to the desire to find the murderer of Hatsune and avenge it with his own hands, there is also a wish to get more and greater credit, so as to repay the lord for his kindness.

Ninja was born in a position, and a ninja like himself who is not doing his job, it is even more difficult to be accepted by other samurai, especially the ninja who is proficient in iron cannons, basically there is no possibility of being recognized by the samurai, and he is loyal to him, although he is also a ninja, but, it is indeed a little-known, a ninja who is out of the way, the lord not only does not dislike his identity and status, not doing his job, after meeting, he ordered himself to be the commander of the iron cannon ashigaru, and also recruited himself as a samurai, although there is a matter of Hatsune as a guide, However, this can also prove that the lord is not ungrateful, and he must not be lax, so as not to let other retainers in the family look down on him.

Sugitani Zenjubo finally made up his mind that it was the clan's attitude towards the iron cannon that would swear allegiance to the death.

Although it has been a long time since the introduction of iron cannons to Japan, there are very few people who can really make this new weapon inflict maximum damage on the enemy, and the power to actually use iron cannons is very small.

But the lord is different, he not only knows that the iron cannon will be used together, but also continues to study, the reality of the cavalry to use, created the riding iron, but also equipped the iron cannon with a bayonet, if it is not for the iron cannon ten minutes, how can you think of these, even if you love the iron cannon very much, you may not be able to transform it, isn't it an example.

Sugitani Zenjubo thinks that in this era, there is no chance that he will love the iron cannon more than himself, but he only knows how to use it, and he hasn't thought about changing it?

But the lord has already thought about it in his busy schedule, and since Sugitani Zenjubo took over the Iron Cannon Ashigaru, he has finally realized that if the Iron Cannon Ashigaru is equipped with this bayonet, not only can he fight independently in the future, and he does not need to become an adjunct to the military as before, but in terms of combat power, it is much more powerful than a young knife or a spear Ashigaru.

It can be said that if the iron cannon under his command is equal in number, except for not being the opponent of the cavalry, no other army can threaten him, and the lord can have such a far-sighted idea, which cannot but make people feel admired.

There is also the lord's attitude towards ninjas, which is even more incredible, and the future is definitely bright with such a lord.

And when Sugitani Zenjubo learned that the Ji Xiaolu family led the army to attack the territory of his family, he stepped up his training even more, and Wade was able to lead his iron artillery to fight in the battle, and he was able to lead his iron artillery to go out of battle, a meritorious feat that he had come.

Thinking of this, I only heard Sugitani Zenjubo speak: "My lord, that Ji Xiaolu Yorizuna sent hundreds of troops to attack more than a month ago, although he was killed by Lord Yamauchi and Lord Bee Suga of Mitsuyama Castle, but if the family does not take action, it will inevitably weaken the prestige of the family, and the head of the wealthy family in North America has come to visit the county of Hachiman Castle many times in the days when the lord is away, and they have all promised that if the lord has soldiers against Ji Xiaolu's family, he will definitely send reinforcements to support, Now that the Ji Xiaolu family is in a weak state, if the lord is willing to go out to fight against him, and there are many wealthy families in North America to help, he must be able to say that the Ji Xiaolu family is uprooted, if it can really be so, the lord's prestige will resound throughout the world, this is the foolish opinion of his subordinates, and please make a decision. ”

Sugitani Zenjubo has been immersed in military training since he came to the main family, for fear that in the next big war, because the iron cannon under his command did not form combat effectiveness, and the lord was left in the territory to be responsible for defense, so he was not very clear about other things at home. If he knew that the Dao Clan Sect hadn't planned to move Hida for the time being, he wouldn't have said this.

After hearing this, the clan thought to himself, prestige? Lao Tzu's reputation is big enough now, even if the prestige is great, what's the use, Lao Tzu doesn't want these things that can't be seen or touched, Lao Tzu wants land and money, and now he will go out to attack Hida, it's a thankless thing, unless there is a problem with his head, not only can he not do it to death. ,

I saw that the clan shook his head and said, "The time to attack Hida has not yet come, so don't mention this matter again." ”

After speaking, the clan clan looked at the retainers, and saw that no one was reporting, so he didn't say anything: "I guess you already know about the fact that the half-guards of Takenaka returned the castle to Saito Ryuko after seizing Inabayama Castle." ”

Gujo Hachiman Castle and Inabayama Castle are in the same Mino area, how can the retainers not know about such a big thing, even Sugitani Zenjubo, who does not ask about foreign affairs and concentrates on military training, is clear about the way of knowledge.

Takenaka Hanbei only led more than a dozen people to capture the fortified Inabayama Castle, which made Honda Masanobu, who had always felt that he was outstanding, couldn't help but feel admiration, since this incident, he has been secretly thinking in his heart, if he is Takenaka Hanbei, is it possible to take this castle more and no casualties? At least, Honda Masanobu didn't think of a better plan to capture the city.

Although Saito Ryuxing was too mediocre to cause the success of the Takenaka Hanbei, but even so, if there is no dense plan, only a little mistake will lead to the loss of the previous efforts.

The whole process of seizing Inabayama Castle, Honda Masanobu was the most aware of the people present, and he hadn't paid much attention to the Takenaka half-guard before, but after this incident, he no longer dared to underestimate the other party, and if he was hostile to him in the future, he must be careful.

Since the Takenaka Hanbei had just returned to Owari a few days ago and was loyal to Oda Nobuna, the news had not yet reached Hachiman Castle in this county, so the retainers had not yet known, otherwise, Honda Masanobu would definitely not be so nervous.

Seeing that the expressions on the faces of the retainers were not the slightest surprised, it means that they all know about it, and when the clan saw this, he didn't say much, and continued to say: "Now, the Takenaka half-guard has returned to the Oda family, and I have applied to the lord for the task of returning to the Mino trio, and I have thought that the Takenaka half-soldier guard will come to write the attributes, so that the return to Ando Mamoru is no longer a problem, and the return to Inaba Yitie should not be too annoying, and the only problem to be solved now is, how to return to the family Buquan?" ”

Although this person is one of the three people in Mino, he doesn't have much contact with Ando Shou, Inaba Ittetsu and other important ministers in the family on weekdays, and even if he has long known that Saito Ryuxing is incompetent, he still does not abandon him, which is not easy to do, and if he goes directly to persuade him, it is difficult to succeed.

But the lord gave me two months to complete it, so this matter can't be delayed, I don't know if the lord has a suggestion, you might as well say it bluntly. ”……，
