Early the next morning, Soharu Tsugawa and Sardillo and others arrived at the port of Minatojo. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As promised, Shadilo handed over 100 "second-hand" muskets to Soharu Tsugawa. Soji Tsugawa hurriedly asked Saigo Kizo to send someone to transport the 100 muskets away and put them away.

In the same way, 2,000 riyals worth of silver and all kinds of goods needed by Sardillo were also moved to Sardillo's ship, and for a time both sides of the transaction got their wishes. The transaction was successfully completed.

However, Soji Tsugawa inadvertently found something that attracted Soharu Tsugawa's attention even more.

"That's .... That's a cannon? Soji Tsugawa looked at one cannon after another on the Sandillo ship in amazement, and his saliva was about to flow out. Subsequently, Soharu Tsugawa wanted to buy these cannons from Sardillo, but Sardillo was very resolute and did not sell them.

In desperation, Tsugawa Soji could only retreat, hoping that when Shadilo came next time, he could bring a few cannons and sell them to the Tsugawa family. Sardillo agreed to Tsukawa's request and said that he would bring a few cannons to Tsukawa next time.

In addition, Soharu Tsugawa purchased a large amount of gunpowder and projectiles in addition. Muskets are no match for bows and arrows, and the gunpowder and lead pellets needed are things that the Tsugawa family does not have at present. If the ammunition is not prepared sufficiently, then these muskets, which are purchased at a high cost, are just burning sticks.

Three days later, Sardillo said goodbye to Soharu Tsugawa and Albani and prepared to return to Portugal. Soharu Tsugawa personally saw off Sardillo in Minato.

Shadilo was gone, but Albani remained.

Since Obani did not speak Japanese, Soji Tsugawa temporarily asked Shimazu and Saburo to teach Obani to speak Japanese. Although this is somewhat difficult and can take a lot of time. But in order to be able to preach smoothly, Albani had no choice but to do so.

Having gotten 100 muskets as he wished, Soharu Tsugawa was so happy that he almost didn't fall asleep.

This is a musket, although there are only 100 of them, but Tsugawa Soji believes that even if there are only 100 muskets, as long as they are used well, they are invincible.

For now, the entire RB has muskets except for Tanegashima in Kyushu, and only the Tsugawa family has them. Coupled with the position of the Tsugawa family, it can be said that the Tsugawa family will maintain the absolute status of the musket for more than ten years.

The first act to get the musket was to start the imitation of the musket. Soharu Tsugawa didn't plan to buy muskets from Sadilo all the time, not to mention that the cost of buying them was greater. But the musket is a kind of "consumable", which is naturally the best to make by yourself.

Even if it is sold to other forces in the future, it will be a huge profit.

However, for such a new thing as a musket, there are few familiar people in the Tsugawa family and even the entire RB. Fortunately, with Shimazu and Saburo, who knew a little bit about it, Tsugawa Soji put Shimazu and Saburo in full charge of the prevention of muskets.

In addition, Tsugawa Soji also issued an order for each retainer in the command to select 100 strong and well-eyed Ashigaru from among the ashigaru under their respective command, and Shimazu and Saburo were in charge of training, striving to learn to use the musket in the shortest possible time.

On June 28, the twelfth year of Astronomy, a great war was ushered in in the country of Dewa.

Yushu explored the Mogami clan, mobilized 3,000 troops in the territory, and attacked Tiantong City, the base of the Tiantong clan. The head of the Tiantong clan, Tiantong Laichang, hurriedly sent people to ask for help from the Shiratori family, the Kakuoka family, and the wealthy clan forces in Murayama County, Tagawa County, Mogami County and other places.

For a time, the Shiratori family, the Mizutani family, the Kokuni Hosokawa family, the Shimizu family, the Daihoji family, the Sasaki family, the Nobusawa family, the Hanhee family and other forces responded one after another. In addition to the Daihoji family and the Sasaki family, a total of 4,000 people from the other Hao clan coalition gathered under Tendo Castle and fought a fierce battle with the Mogami family.

The two sides won and lost each other for more than ten days, and the battle fell into anxiety.

On July 11, Soharu Tsugawa received a letter of help from Mogami in Ueno Castle. Mogami Yoshimori hoped that the Tsugawa family would send troops to attack the Sasaki family and the Dahoji family as agreed before, harass the rear of the two families, and share part of the pressure for the Mogami family.

For Mogami Ie's proposal, Tsugawa Soji was of course unwilling to refuse. Although Tsugawa Soji hopes in his heart that the Mogami family can continue to fight with the Tendo clan and others, so that the Tsugawa family can have more time to unify the Yugo region.

However, Tsugawa Soji knew that even without the help of wealthy families such as the Daihoji family, the real integration of the Mogami family into the Hazen region would not happen until the reign of Mogami Yoshimitsu of the fox of Hashu in the future. Now Mogami Yoshimori wants to defeat the Tiantong family and other divisions to unify the Mogami family, I'm afraid it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky.

However, of course, the Tsugawa family will send troops. However, the targets of the troops were not mainly the Daihoji and Sasaki families, but the Niga Ho family and Serita family of Yuri-gun.

Since the last request for subordination to the Tsugawa family was rejected by Tsugawa Soji, these two families have been in frequent contact with the Hiyama Anto family and the Daihoji family. Now that the Tsukawa family has been almost repaired, it's time to get rid of these two eyesore.

On the 14th day of the seventh month of the 13th year of Astronomy, the Tsugawa family led a total of 800 troops from the subordinate Yajima family, the Osaku family, and the Takizawa family, with a total of 1,000 troops from the Yajima family, the Osaku family, and the Takizawa family, and the rest of the army.

To deal with the Niga Ho family and the Serita family, it is not necessary for Tsugawa Soji to mobilize all the troops, just more than 1,000 people are enough.

After learning the news of the Tsugawa family's troops, Higa-ho Juharu hurriedly sent someone to the Daihoji family. The Sasaki family and the Hiyama Ando family asked for help. However, it is a pity that except for the Sasaki family who sent someone to send 400 stone of grain, neither the Daihoji family, which is nominally subordinate to the Niga Ho family, nor the Hiyama Anto family, has not moved at all.

Disappointed, Higa Hojuharu once again sent someone to submit a petition to Tsugawa Soji, but was again rejected by Tsugawa Soji.

In desperation, Higa-ho Juharu could only urgently mobilize the 600 peasant soldiers in the territory, plus the 150 peasant soldiers of the Serita family in the cage fortress of Ninga Baocheng.

Subsequently, Higa-hojo was surrounded by the forces of the Tsugawa family's former army, the Takizawa family, and the main camp of Tsugawa Soji was located on Mt. Nishime, southwest of the Yuri-gun Rybokan, which was only half an hour away from Higa-hojo.

On July 16, the 13th year of the Astronomical Calendar, the Takizawa family and other wealthy clans launched an attack on Higa-hojo, and after two days of fighting, Higa-hojo was still standing. The next day, the Higa Hoke family again sent someone to submit a petition to Tsugawa Soharu, but it was still refused.

After learning of the battle situation ahead, Tsugawa Soji was furious and issued an attack order to Komura Yoshikei and others, preparing to launch a general attack on Niga Hojo.

For a while, a battle with a huge disparity in strength is about to start!
