Chapter 105: Stratagem and Roasted Jade (1st Update)
It is said that Tokawa was a very young samurai, not yet twenty years old this year, but in the battle of Eguchi, he showed a strong desire to attack, and often rushed forward desperately to kill the enemy, and liked to take off the pocket that protected his head, and killed the enemy with the head of the moon with his cape, so he won the name of "Oni Juhe" in the Miyoshi family.
Maybe he stayed with the two brothers for a long time, and Shihe Yicun also learned some methods, but his methods ended here, and after several provocations were fruitless, Shihe Yicun immediately stopped putting on a show, in fact, it was not that he didn't want to put on a show, but that Miyoshi Changqing heard about his deeds of drinking and feasting in front of the battle, and sent Miyoshi Kangchang to scold him, and even exposed his deeds of leaving the camp and hunting eagles privately.
Miyoshi Kangchang was very heartbroken and angrily reprimanded Shihe Yicun for not knowing how to grow, and relied on the old to warn him that young people should spare their lives and not lose their minds, eating more brown rice and pickled radishes is the ethics of the samurai, and wine can only be drunk when sacrificing and celebrating, but before he finished speaking, he heard Shihe Yicun not salty and said the name of Miyoshi Yasutoshi.
Miyoshi Kangjun also participated in the Eagle Hunt, and was one of the main forces of the Eagle Hunt, and the guy who was drunk after the Eagle Hunt and shouted for another game was the baby son of Miyoshi Yasunaga, the old man of the Miyoshi family was annoyed and angry at the time, and glared at Shihe Yicun viciously, and went to Shenglong Temple City to teach his son.
The long confrontation lasted for more than half a month, and Kira Yoshishi didn't do nothing, for example, he secretly contacted the old underground people in Kyoto City, hoping to use their strength to fight against the Miyoshi family, after Miyoshi Changyi killed more than 100 people on the street, the Miyoshi family now has a bad reputation, but these underground people are relatively timid and dare not come forward, and almost wasted his renovation.
In the end, they gave a very strange answer, these people are willing to unite with the congregation of Kyoto to come forward to strictly prevent the rebels from entering Kyoto to capture or set fire to the city, no matter who wins or loses, they must refuse to enter Kyoto. Don't let the defeated army enter Kyoto? Does this have anything to do with my family? I'm kind of convinced. ”
Fortunately, there are not no people without acquaintances in Kyoto, and the congregation in Kyoto quietly offered Yongle money 200 kan in the hope that the Kira family's martial arts luck would last for a long time, and of course they also offered 300 kan Yongle money to Shihe Yicun, this kind of undisciplined businessman is born to please both sides, and the philosophy of life pursued is not to offend people.
The unwilling Kira Yoshishi contacted Kyoto's five temples in Goyama, Toji, Daitokuji Temple outside Beijing, Myoshinji Temple and other temples, hoping that they would give them cooperative support, after all, this is a struggle for the cause of the shogunate, everyone has money to hold a money field, no money to hold a personal field, and finally the great monk also cried with him poor, he was about to open the pot, and was waiting for the shogunate to win the Miyoshi to get back their lost temple to cook.
"How's that? Everyone is crying and shouting that there is no money, it is terrible! ”
There is no one in Kyoto who is powerful, and Kira Yoshitoshi can only find a way to solve the problem, and one day Yamamoto Tokiyuki found Kira Yoshi, who was meditating, and asked him about the homemade gunpowder he mentioned last time: "The owner of the museum mentioned the problem of homemade gunpowder last time, but the old minister has always put it in his heart, I don't know how the owner of the museum makes his own gunpowder?" ”
"What is there to make gunpowder! Isn't it one nitrate, two sulfur and three charcoal? Wrong! It should be reversed! It doesn't seem right! I'll think again. "Kira Yoshitoki remembers that there seems to be a black powder ratio method in the past, and it seems that there is more saltpeter and less sulfur and charcoal.
"I remember! It seems to be seventy and a half saltpeter, one and a half sulfur, and one and a half charcoal! This should be done ...... Never mind! I'd better find someone to test it! Looking at Yamamoto Tokiyuki's confused expression, he decided to do it himself.
The configuration method of black powder is not a secret to him, the only problem to worry about is that Japan does not produce saltpeter, and the price of imported saltpeter is very expensive and not cost-effective, and spending a lot of money to get some saltpeter from unknown sources from the hands of the Japanese is very stressful, and the area around the port of Hirado in Hizen Province where those Japanese are located is not even far from the Kyoto side, which is not even far water.
It's not that there is no way, he still remembers the production method of soil nitrate, using toilet soil, stable soil and plant ash mixed and then added to water to boil, and then after several processes such as stirring and filtration, heating and filtration, you can get the required high-concentration soil nitrate solution, and then add charcoal and sulfur particles to melt and dry by themselves, and then turn into granule gunpowder.
Try to make new gunpowder naturally to test, he decided to take the iron cannon team to do the test, how to try the power of the new particle gunpowder, unaware of the iron artillery team became his guinea pig, several rounds of test firing process made a lot of jokes, the explosion of the new particle gunpowder is much more violent than ordinary gunpowder, the white smoke sprayed out of the front to form a haze, at that time a few timid guys were scared down, saying that this is a monster coming.
Takigawa Mashige held a piece of rotten wood with a thick bowl mouth and said in disbelief, "Lord Pavilion! This...... What kind of gunpowder is this? How can it be so powerful? ”
Kira Yoshitoki said triumphantly, "This is the gunpowder that my family bought from the Nanban merchants, how about it?" Awesome! ”
Takigawa Mashige threw away the rotten wood that had been broken in two, wiped the sweat from his head and said, "It's amazing! It's a bit overdone. ”
"Remember, secret weapons can't be talked about!"
"Your Majesty saves! With all these secrets leaked out, the Nanban merchant must have taken a big risk! "Takigawa Masshige has also seen some of the world, and there are occasional Nanban people in Sakai Town, but their whereabouts are more strange, and they also like to sell some strange things, which are not very popular.
"That's it! I won't talk to you anymore! The family is leaving! ”
Throwing down a packet of special granular gunpowder, Kira Yoshitoki rushed back with his men non-stop, and this time he had a better idea, that is, baking jade! He found the head of Ashigaru Kato Kyoaki, who is also said to be interested in gunpowder weapons, and runs to Takigawa Yoshige when he has nothing to do, and often runs to the navy to call him a brother, according to him he claims to be omnipotent, but according to observation, everything is actually sparse and more appropriate.
"Isn't baked jade the thing that Setouchi's Mishima Navy's best at? It is said that the production method of baked jade has always been a secret! "Kato Kato still has a lot of two brushes, and he can also know the Mishima Navy in the small place of Mikawa, which is not comparable to the people of the turtle country, they can't even distinguish between the southeast and the northwest when they go out of Mikawa, where do they know what Setouchi is, what is the Mishima Navy Army.
Kira Yoshitoki immediately drew a big pie for him: "Yes! This family wants to make baked jade, and the day of creation will be handed over to you to command! ”
"Great! Thank you, Lord Inn! How many people are in the team? Kato looked at him expectantly.
"Fifty people! From Ashigaru to Grenadier, he is directly under the management of his own family. "Kato Kato was the head of the ashigaru who commanded thirty people before, although the change of positions is still the head, but when the twenty more people can be directly under Kira Yoshi, the status is obviously higher than that of the ordinary Ashigaru general, and the top boss is the governor of the family, doesn't it mean that the future is immeasurable.
