Chapter 22: See the Iron Cannon Again (I)

On the afternoon of ......the New Year's Day, outside the main castle tower of Kiyoshu Castle in Owari Province, near the sand pond of the Honmaru Garden, there was another sound of banging!

As early as the middle of August this year, as a merchant ship from Portugal drifted to the vicinity of Tanegashima in Yoben and ran aground, the arquebus, a newly discovered weapon of war developed by the distant Western powers, began to be introduced into Yoben, and was renamed "Iron Cannon" by the locals.

Ever since the cannon was brought into Kiyoshu Castle in Owari Province one day in early December, the townspeople living in the castle town of Kiyoshu Castle have heard loud noises from the castle tower Honmaru from time to time.

All the townspeople living in the castle town were in a panic when they first heard this roar like the roar of the thunder god. This one said that Lord Thor was angry, everyone should run away; The extremely unlucky words such as saying that the head of the family has angered God, and that Owari is in trouble.

And Oda Nobuhide, who received the report from the next people, also felt a headache. Because, the one who was making these loud noises that even he felt a little uneasy about himself came from three people. From three of his children, to be exact, and three children with an average age of no more than ten years. One of them is Xiao Zhengtai, one is Xiao Lori, and the last one is a little Lori who has been pretending to be Xiao Zhengtai since she was born!

Fortunately, human beings are creatures that involuntarily have a habit of the same thing after constantly experiencing the same thing, and when they get used to that thing, they will naturally no longer have any sense of fear, and some things will even have an unstoppable impulse and pleasure!

It's like doing something that's very refreshing, very refreshing. When I experienced it for the first time, most of them were with "Ah, it hurts; Ah, I don't want it! "Something like that. However, soon, you get used to the pain and pain, and then you start to enjoy it. Eventually, it gradually became once every few weeks, and then once every week! It is said that some people who enjoy it so much will come back once a day!

It's like the violent little Loriji, when Wang Tianxie caught the little feet that were sore and tired from riding a horse and practicing knives for the first time, and pressed and pushed hard at the acupoints on the soles of the feet and the acupoints of the calves, the violent little Lori screamed a sad and scary, chickens and dogs jumped, as if the entire Qingzhou City could hear it! It has the effect of helping children stop crying at night, or making children obedient and fall asleep!

However, when Wang Tianxie finally finished pressing, the violent little Lori's two little feet stood on the ground and felt that all the soreness on her legs had disappeared, and she began to ask Wang Tianxie to press her every night! Otherwise, she will make a lot of noise, and she will not let Wang Tianxie fall asleep if she dies!

Well, with all that said, let's go back to the topic of the habitual surname. As for the people who thought of some strange things just now, hurry home and think about the past, wah, quack, quack......

We just mentioned that humans are creatures that involuntarily produce customary surnames, and the townspeople of Cheongshu Castle are no exception.

After a good explanation from the first wise man in the house, Masahide Hirate, and dozens of rings every afternoon, everyone understood. It turned out that it wasn't Lord Thor who was angry, and it wasn't the head of the family who suffered God's curse, but our big fool in Owari Province who came up with some annoying bad idea!

The townspeople of the castle town no longer panicked, but Oda Nobuhide, as the head of the family, began to worry again. As a generation of heroes, the "Tiger of Owari" can't figure it out, and even found the first wise man in the family, the old man who is in charge of the affairs of the family, and he still can't think of a reason.

This handle looks really powerful, it sounds really powerful, but the accuracy of shooting out is very, extreme, and extremely poor, what is there to be worthy of the three little guys to indulge and like so much, it is almost to the point that if you don't put so many shots every day, you will feel uncomfortable all over your body!

You know, the iron cannon is a novelty, and it can't be used on rainy days; The steps before each shot are very complicated, resulting in a very long interval between each shot; Due to the extreme recoil, the accuracy of each shot is countless times worse than that of a bow and arrow; That is, the sound made when shooting is very loud, and it can have some shock to the enemy.

Such a thing is simply like chicken ribs, I really can't understand why these three little guys are so obsessed!

Of course, the "Owari Tiger" couldn't have imagined that since Wang Tianxie found two iron cannons in the storage room of the castle tower, he has been constantly boasting about the power of the iron cannon in the ears of the violent little Lori of Jimage, and has begun to strongly demand that the violent little Lori secretly purchase and develop this cross-era war weapon in large quantities no matter what!

Moreover, what made Oda Nobuhide and the old man Tieshou even more unexpected was that it was not that the iron cannon itself was too chicken, and it was not that the iron cannon itself was not easy to use, but that among all the elders, important ministers and members of the Oda family, it can be said that except for Wang Tianxi, who came from Nanyang and received special training from Li Huamei, the big cat with the title of "Xiang Scarlet Tiger", there is no one who will use this novel thing at all!

In fact, this can't be blamed on Oda Nobuhide, after all, in December 1543, he has only only been in contact with the iron cannon for less than five months, and even the foot merchant himself who brought the iron cannon into Kiyoshu Castle in Owari Province is not too good at using it! You know, Tanegashima is in the southernmost part of the city, and Owari Province is in the upper part of the middle of the city, so it takes more than three months just to walk up, and it's only a one-way trip!

So, no matter what year or era, no knowledge and culture is the most terrifying, and many things are either not good at all, or you can't use them at all!

It's like driving a vehicle, no matter what type of cart, cart, or even ox cart or horseback riding, if you don't learn or practice, it's no wonder if you don't fall to death or be killed!

And after Wang Tianxie's personal demonstration, after really seeing the power of the iron cannon, the two little children of violent Lori and Wang Tianxie immediately began to increase the frequency of quarrels between the two ends in three days!

In the eyes of outsiders, the contradiction between Owari Kunida's stupid melon and the head of the family, Wang Tianxi, who is the new son of the family, for some reason, escalated in an instant, and evolved into a fight every day, and you will feel that something is wrong today, as if you forgot to do something today!

Moreover, the place where the two quarreled and fought was no longer any location in Cheongju Castle, but was changed to near the sand pond in the courtyard of the main castle tower!

For the location changed by the two people, it originally made the townspeople of the castle town feel very happy, after all, as long as you two little children don't affect our normal life, and don't come to our fields to do some ridiculous, nonsense, and nonsense things, you two little fart children can toss as much as you like, anyway, it's not us little townspeople who have a headache at that time!

However, after two or three days, the violent little Lori began to make trouble everywhere and toss around countless behaviors that caused headaches to the townspeople in the city. What's more, sometimes the townspeople of the castle town will see their future big fool melon fox horse family owner, holding or holding a very huge, round stone, walking along the streets of the castle town, very difficult, attracting the surprised eyes and whispers of the castle townspeople!

It was only during the hours from noon to the afternoon when the sun was about to set that the townspeople of the castle town breathed a sigh of relief. As for the reason, of course, it was just after lunch, and it was time to go find my godbrother to fight, and by the way, play tricks with him, and then put a few shots and a few shots with him.

The daily quarrel between the violent little Lori and Wang Tianxie is very incomprehensible in the eyes of Oda Nobuhide, the "Tiger of Owari", and the behavior of his two children is simply strange everywhere. He also tried to ask the subordinates and maids who were in charge of taking care of them, but they had no idea why.

I remember that as soon as these two little guys got to know each other, they made an appointment to go fishing together the next day. At that time, the relationship between the two people was quite good, and they talked and laughed with each other. I heard that after that, the two often met together to exercise or practice martial arts. According to the sparring warriors, the relationship between the two is very harmonious, and they are even more brothers than brothers!

In Oda Nobuhide's impression, it seems that since Yoshihoshi fell off his horse, the two of them began to be hostile every day as if they were enemies! For this reason, he also specially found the old man Hirate Masahide, who was in charge of instructing Yoshibo, and inquired in detail about what happened at that time. However, the two of them studied left and right, up and down, and didn't find anything suspicious.

It stands to reason that when I first saw Wang Tianxie, the little guy, the other party was very mature, and there was no reason to bully a child about the same age as himself. In this case, the problem can only be attributed to the previous horse fall accident.

For this reason, Oda Nobuhide can be said to have a big temper with the old man, and when he is usually fine, everyone is naturally amiable, but now that something big has happened, of course he is angry with you! Who called the old man the teacher of Yoshibo-shiro!
