Chapter 52: Little Gain
After the successful conclusion of these two events, the clan immediately recalled Wasuka Masakatsu, Maeda Toshiya and others and embarked on the journey home. The ninja who came with him this time have changed into ninja armor, and the rest of the armor is transported to Owari by Yamada Nagamasa along with the iron cannon.
On the way back, Ishikawa Goemon was brutally trained, although he was young, he didn't cry or scream, he just gritted his teeth and silently endured, sometimes even the clan was a little unbearable, but if you really want to become a top ninja, you must endure such a ordeal.
*********************************
"Call Dad, quick, I'll give you candy after calling for it."
As soon as the clan returned to Kiyosu Castle, he saw that Nobunaga was not in the castle tower, so he turned around and immediately returned to the samurai's mansion, and when he saw that his son was already able to speak, his face was so happy that he couldn't even take off his clothes, so he teased Matsurumaru.
"Wow......" Matsutsurumaru not only did not call Dad, but let him cry.
Sakura took Matsurumuru from the clan and held it in her arms, and said to the clan clan while coaxing, "My lord, you have been away from home for too long, and even Matsutsurumu doesn't know you anymore. ”
The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, think that what Sakura said is indeed right, since Matsurumaru was born, he has spent very little time at home. I only heard the clan say guiltily: "Sakura, you've worked hard these days, you won't blame me." ”
Sakura glanced at the clan and said, "Adults are fighting hard for this family, how can Sakura blame you." ”
"Having said that, I will spend more time with you and the children in the future."
"My lord..."Sakura hugged Matsurumaru and leaned lightly on the clan's shoulder.
"Ahh Just as the clan clan and Sakura were warm, a crisp scream suddenly came from outside the hall.
Immediately afterwards, I heard the angry rebuke of Masakatsu Wasuka: "Bastard! It's just a little injured, what is it called, how many times have I told you, if you make a noise while on a mission, it could kill you. It doesn't matter if you die, but you must not implicate the lord. ”
The clan said with some disappointment: "Don't shout outside, come in." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw Wasuka Masakatsu in front, Ishikawa Goemon's face was bruised, and he followed behind with his left arm, and blood slowly dripped from his left arm. "The subordinates disturbed the lord and wife, and asked the lord to punish him." Wasuka Masakatsu saluted.
Ishikawa Goemon also knelt on the ground.
Sakura saw that the young Ishikawa Goemon was so miserable, and she couldn't stop the tears in her eyes anymore, and two lines of hot tears crossed her cheeks, crying and saying, "My lord, he's just a child...... If you want to train him as a ninja, you might as well wait until he grows up. ”
In the past month or so, Wasuka Masakatsu saw that Ishikawa Goemon was a natural ninja billet, and he had long regarded him as a personal disciple, and he was afraid that he would make a mistake in the future and die during the mission, so he was extremely strict in training him, and now he saw that his wife had the intention of obstructing him, and hurriedly said: "Lord, madam, if you want to become a ninja, then you must receive strict training from an early age, and your subordinates have also come over like this back then." ”
Sakura looked at the clan after listening. I saw the clan ask Ishikawa Goemon, "What do you think?" ”
"Subordinates want to be the shadow of the lord!" Ishikawa Goemon said firmly, without thinking.
"Okay, I respect your choice, go down and let the maid help you heal your wounds."
After he came out, the clan said to Wasuka Masakatsu: "Training is training, but you must be gentle in the future, and be gentle and understand." ”
Wasuka Masakatsu scratched his head and said, "Yes, my subordinates do their best." ”
As soon as the matter of Ishikawa Goemon was settled, before the clan and Sakura could say a few words, there was a shout outside the door. "Lord Gao Shan, the lord asked you to go to the training center to meet you immediately."
The clan smiled helplessly at Sakura, and when he went home, he didn't even sit on his buttocks, and he was caught by Oda Nobunaga, and it seems that he may not have time to accompany their mother and son today.
As soon as he entered the training center, he saw 5,000 ashigaru holding four-meter vermilion guns, neatly arranged on both sides, while Oda Nobunaga was sitting in front of the ashigaru phalanx, and behind him stood Hasegawa Shuichi, Hori Hidemasa, two close attendants, and more than a dozen retainers.
And the monkey is shouting in the middle of the team at the moment, and he is directing the Ashigaru phalanx to complete various movements. It can be seen that the monkey is at this time when the spring breeze is proud. ,
The clan clan walked quickly to Oda Nobunaga and said, "The subordinates see the lord. ”
Nobunaga turned his gaze away from Ashigaru Flag and said, "Where have you been these past few months?" ”
"Back to the lord, in the past three months, I have gone down to the realm town to buy iron cannons for the lord."
Nobunaga didn't care after hearing this, the monkey's performance in the past few months was very happy with Nobunaga, not only did the separation of soldiers and farmers be done in an orderly manner, but from today's point of view, the 5000 flags have been trained by him to have some elite appearance, Nobunaga felt that the monkey is also a talent, so he was promoted to Ashigaru General three days ago, and gave the name Hideyoshi.
And compared to Kinoshita Toyoshiro, the clan who went to buy the iron cannon has no credit at all, in his opinion, this is just running errands, which is really not worth mentioning. I only heard Nobunaga ask flatly, "Oh, how many iron cannons did you buy and come back?" ”
"Fortunately, I did not fail in my mission, and my subordinates used 7,500 guan to buy 500 iron cannons for the lord, and in a few days, they will arrive in Owari, and the remaining 2,500 kan have not yet been delivered." The clan said so loudly that not only Nobunaga heard it, but also the retainers behind him.
How much does it cost to run 15 pieces? How is this possible, it must be that he wants to win the favor of the lord and advances money to buy it himself, it must be like this, what's the big deal about calling a few stinky money. The retainers cursed in their hearts.
After listening to the report, Nobunaga was also shocked, since he succeeded to the governor, he began to vigorously develop the iron cannon ashigaru, and it took a few years to scrape together a three-hundred-man iron cannon ashigaru team, for this, Nobunaga has been very proud, but who would have thought that this Takayama clan actually took only three months, 7500 yuan, to get 500 iron cannons, which is also incredible. If you add these 500 iron cannons, the iron cannon team of this family has reached a terrifying 800 people.
Nobunaga was happy, and wanted to directly promote the clan to serve the general, and thought that the clan now only has 600 stones, and the dignified general only has 600 stones, which will be laughed at by others. It seems that it is better to reward him with some knowledge and deeds.
Thinking of this, I only heard Nobunaga say: "Senbei, you did a very good job this time, so you can seal the Dongqi City Zhixing 200 stones." ”
The clan was overjoyed, and he got back 200 stone Zhixing when he went out to play, so he now has 700 stone Zhixing, and although Sakura's 100 stones are hanging in his name, it can't be counted if he is at Sakura's disposal.
