After receiving the letter, Nobutada Okochi immediately contacted Kira Yoshiyasu, and the two discussed it, aren't they honest farmers? It's easy to do! Directly into the ravine, they said that they could move to Omi Province, and the road expenses were borne by the Kira family, and the people of Ichira were guaranteed to be the people of the village, and these peasants had never seen the world or even knew where Omi was, as long as they were given food, it was no problem to go into battle and cut their heads.

So Mikawa didn't have to make any effort to settle the matter, and Okochi Kitaka who came with him also escorted the Kira family's new salt to Sakamoto, and Kira Yoshian wrote at the beginning of the year asking him to dig some similar salt ponds in his territory, and promised never to leak the technology.

Naturally, he couldn't refuse when he mentioned Yoshirayoshi like this, and then the amount of new salt in Mikawa increased by fifty percent, but fortunately, merchants who traveled to and from the west and Kyushu also came to purchase large quantities as the reputation of Sakamoto Town grew, otherwise the price of salt would definitely have fallen due to oversupply.

In addition to taking advantage of Tsushima's transshipment advantage to traffic Mikawa Shinshiyan, the Kira family sent the last group of more than 200 Mikawa samurai, including Hatazu Ogasawara Yasuji, Ogasawara Nobumoto, Ogasawara Nobumoto, Ehara Tanba Mamoru, Taro Ehara Hidemasa, Takahashi Dewa Mademoru and others.

Okochi Kitaka's explanation is that these people are all members of the family who have lost their inheritance rights, and they are unwilling to stumble in Mikawa, and Imagawa Yoshimoto immediately set out to woo and appease the Mikawa Kira family after learning that Kira Yoshishi showed his might in Kyoto, not only to his son-in-law Kira Yoshian to add a territory of 5,000 kan in Bihai County, but also generously assigned the Nakajo family in Kamo County to the Kira family, anyway, he rowed over the people who were close to Owari Province and not very obedient at the same time, and they were all sent out as favors.

He didn't have the time to care about the two hundred Mikawa samurai, so he directly asked Yamamoto Tokiyuki to lead them to the military camp outside Sakamoto City to receive transformation training, watching these high-spirited Mikawa samurai walk out one by one with their heads held high, Kira Yoshitoki didn't even have the heart to complain, Okochi Nobusada overfulfilled the task this time, of course, he overfulfilled the task this time, and he couldn't laugh or cry this time.

He moved more than 1,800 men, women, and children from two villages deep in the mountains of Kamo County, and in the words of Okochi Kigao, counting the 1,400 laborers of women riding horses, and the other 400 children who could work for a few years, let him rest assured that these people had a clean background and had lived in a mountain nest for hundreds of years, and it was inevitable that there would be wars, and the lords of Kamo did not like to come to this mountain nest to collect taxes.

Kira Yoshitoki could only take this team of towing his family and move them together into the workshop in the valley northwest of Sakamoto, the exit of this col happened to be the camp of the Kira army, and the valley was surrounded by high mountains and dense forests, which could not even be passed by men and horses, and Mikawa's reserve only needed to change guards every few times to ensure that the secret recasting of this craftsman's town would not be revealed.

At the beginning of June, the speed of recasting began, is not a day to recast 50 new money, basically from early morning to midnight non-stop casting, this is already the speed of the maximum production capacity, and after joining the more than 1,800 people, in the short term can increase the speed of recasting to more than 200 a day, according to the estimation of Su Ihei Bingwei, after half a year the daily output can be increased to the peak of 500 new money.

The scorching heat of June scorched the earth is sweltering, in this season of fire, Kira Yoshishi can't help but relax the practice of spearmanship to find a reason to hide and be lazy, hide in the castle tower and sleep all morning before getting up, just want to go out when I meet Ah Ju with tea and biscuits to push the door in, see Kira Yoshishi's sleepy look, smiled and said: "Your Highness hasn't slept for so long for a long time!" Your Highness is the time to grow your body, and if you work too hard, your body will be unbearable! ”

"Hmm! Ah Ju came just in time, I'm dying of hunger! Kira Yoshitoki picked up the pastry and devoured it, and did not forget to praise: "Is this a bean paste cake?" It's really delicious! Aju's pastry skills are getting better and better. ”

Ah Ju asked expectantly: "Your Highness, can Ah Ju give Princess Shengji some pastries?" ”

"Yes! Katsuhime will definitely love it! Kira Yoshitoki clapped his hands and finished a simple breakfast, walked to the terrace with his muscles and bones to look at the view of Lake Biwa outside the window, and said, "Why don't you go for the event!" It's been a long time since I've practiced archery, and I don't know if I can still shoot that arrow target? ”

"Your Highness! Ah Ju is going too! ”

"Aju is going too? That's archery! ”

Ah Ju said with a slight meaning: "Yes! Ah Ju has been practicing pot throwing with Her Royal Highness the princess since she was a child, and Her Royal Highness the princess was the most powerful pot throwing master in Kyoto! So Aju is very powerful! ”

“…… Pitching is not the same as archery, isn't it? Kira Yoshishi said with black lines on his head.

"Ah Ju hasn't finished yet! Her Royal Highness the Princess's archery is also the best in Kyoto, so Aju is also very powerful! Ah Ju clenched his fists and put on a serious expression of "I can do it", which made Kira Yoshitoki cry and laugh.

"Alright! Let's check it out! ”

In the Nimaru Teaching Field of Sakamoto Castle, Yamaoka stood in front of dozens of people with bows and arrows in his hand, shouting: "The way of the bow and horse is the way of the samurai, and our samurai started from the end of the slightest, with the six-foot bow in his hand to sweep the floating prisoners and suppress the rebellion, there are often singers who boast of the bravery of the Kamakura samurai!" Nowadays, there are ancient legends, and those samurai who have achieved great martial arts are rewarded with the reputation of bows, and the best samurai are also called Yutori, such as the first bow in the East China Sea to take Imagawa Yoshimoto! Therefore, as a samurai, it is absolutely impossible not to know the way of bows and horses! ”

"No matter what the art of war, what the spear skills are, the practice of bows and arrows must not be abandoned, we are all samurai who want to win honor immediately, how can we become horse warriors without the benefits of bows and arrows? All right! Let's start today's practice! Yamaoka stepped aside and urged the crowd to practice archery.

It just so happened that Yoshitoki Kira and Aju walked over with a pace, and when they saw Yamaoka Chang's serious appearance, they couldn't help but shout: "Zenjiro! Why didn't you go to cultivate? ”

"Your Excellency!" Shan Oka couldn't hold back his serious expression for a while, and hurriedly trotted all the way over and bowed, and said flatteringly: "Your Majesty deliberately took half a day to supervise their practice, these guys are very lazy, and they don't know how to practice if they don't supervise for a day." ”

"Go! Isn't it true that the family doesn't understand it? How can they be as lazy as you say! You want to be lazy! Kira Yoshitoki took out a folding fan and knocked it on Yamaoka's head, "Hurry up and go back to training, if you don't practice well, be careful of your family's punishment." ”

"Yes, yes! Your Majesty, go now! Yamaoka ran away with a bitter face, and Ah Ju said with a smile: "Chang Chang Jun is really interesting!" ”

"That lazy guy!" Kira shook his head, took the bow and pulled it a few times, this kind of Maruki bow with weak elasticity does not need to be strenuous at all, the design of the bottom is short and the top is more convenient to hold a long bow of nearly two meters, and the bowstring flicks an arrow and shoots straight into the very edge of the target.

PS: Many people don't understand the creation of new weapons and feel that it is not in line with tradition...... What traditions do Japanese samurai have? The most direct tradition of Japanese samurai is the way of the bow and arrow, which is to ride a horse around and in a circle.

During the Kamakura period, the Mongol army went on two crusades to the east, and when they saw the powerful military formation of the Mongols and the formation of spears and shields, they learned to be obedient and began to change to spears to increase melee combat.

The introduction of castle defense warfare in the Northern and Southern Dynasties was another military reform, and the cage castle was able to hold back an army of 100,000 men, which was incomprehensible to the reform in the Kamakura period.

And then in the Muromachi period, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu used firecrackers called "Zuo Yoshinaga" to burn Ouchi Yoshihiro, defeated the Ouchi army, and all kinds of messy weapons were used in the east and west of the Onin Rebellion, including the Ming Dynasty's fire gun (not the iron cannon), and then the iron cannon came, and the Nanban also came, and it was another round of military reform, and the Japanese samurai developed an enlarged version of the iron cannon, called "Big Tube", and then the 3-pounder Nanban cannon "National Collapse" of the Otomo family also came, the protagonist as a traverser, why can't he engage in military reform?

In the words of many people, the traverser is still alive like the ancients, does not brush his teeth, does not eat meat, and follows the rules all day long to worry about eating pickled radish or salted fish, so is there any meaning in crossing?

Don't worry about writing about the Warring States of Japan that you don't know, and the Japanese samurai of the Muromachi period were not as rigid and conservative as you think. Don't put your mind on the style of the Edo samurai.

What a silent, loyal, brave, emotionally restrained, perverted view of shame, smiling and talking to you here, and suddenly pulling out a knife to kill people the next moment.

It was not the samurai of Japan's Warring States period, let alone the samurai of the Muromachi period, the samurai before the Edo period were a group of undisciplined and entangled groups that emphasized righteousness, they could be pit teammates without psychological burden, and belonged to the group that oscillated between order and chaos.
