"Disband, everyone prepare, it is estimated that the crusading army will fall at noon. At that point we will definitely face a big battle, and everyone is ready to prepare. Yuji Riverbe, you stay for a while, I have something to say to you. ”

Zhao Hongyu waved his hand and dissolved the temporary meeting.

Everyone opened one after another, got up and walked out of the big tent.

Yuji Riverside, who was left by Zhao Hongyu, didn't have any excitement and excitement, he was still kneeling and sitting so calmly.

He's a smart guy.

After Zhao Hongyu glanced at Yuji Riverside, he secretly said in his heart.

As for Yuji Kawabe, he thought about it secretly in his heart, and immediately understood what this young highness meant by leaving him.

When everyone left, Zhao Hongyu said to Yuji Kawabe: "How did you come up with the idea of using artillery?" As far as I know, here in Japan, it seems that artillery is not used in land battles, and at most it is only muskets. ”

Zhao Hongyu first raised a question.

In response to Zhao Hongyu's question, Yuji Kawabe replied: "I also had no way to think of using artillery, because the crusading army is many times more numerous than us, and although those Osaka captives have agreed to join us, their loyalty is very low, and no one can guarantee that they will not defect on the battlefield." Yuji Kawabe slowly said his true thoughts to Zhao Hongyu.

"That's why I thought of using artillery, after all, artillery, a weapon used on the warships of the Southern Barbarians, is very powerful. Then I wondered if this weapon could be used in land warfare if it had been dismantled. ”

Zhao Hongyu nodded secretly while listening to Yuji Riverside's narration.

I have to say that Yuji Kawabe's brain and vision are stronger than some of his contemporaries.

It's a pity that he still has the limitations of this era.

Because Yuji Kawabe didn't think about moving at all. There is also the question of ballistics.

Actually, Zhao Hongyu understands Yuji Kawabe very well.

As he said, they were about to face an attack from the crusaders.

And the strength of the other side between himself and the crusading army is really at too much disadvantage.

Therefore, Yuji Kawabe, who was forced to do so, had to consider other methods to see if he could help his own people gain a slight advantage.

Finally, after thinking about it, he thought about artillery.

And these days, Zhao Hongyu has indeed unloaded a lot of artillery from the battleship, and he has seen these riverside Yuji in his eyes.

For Yuji Riverbe. This young highness would definitely not disassemble the cannon for no reason, then there is only one possibility.

This highness, to use this weapon in the next battle.

Although Yuji Kawabe didn't know how to use such a weapon, it didn't prevent him from coming up with such an idea.

The clever Yuji Kawabe guessed that Zhao Hongyu was going to use artillery, so he played a little clever and made such a suggestion himself.

Sure enough, he attracted Zhao Hongyu's attention.

In fact, all this is just a small calculation by Yuji Riverside.

And, this little calculation of his. And very successful.

Zhao Hongyu didn't know how to think about Yuji Riverside's carefulness.

However, even if he knows the Tao, it is estimated that Zhao Hongyu will not be good.

"Well, you're a good idea.". Zhao Hongyu nodded to Yuji Riverside with satisfaction, and looked at him with a little appreciation in his eyes.

Yuji Kawabe had been secretly observing Zhao Hongyu's reaction, and when he saw Zhao Hongyu's admiring gaze, his heart suddenly rejoiced.

Hey. It seems that my hard work has not been in vain, and this young highness is indeed going to use artillery.

I did the right thing this time, and I have already attracted His Highness's admiration for me.

The wellhead makes three, the wellhead makes three. Why are you stupid standing on my head, in the future, my Yuji Riverside will definitely climb on your head and let you call me an adult.

Yuji Kawabe felt a little excited in his heart, but he couldn't see anything on his face.

After all, for Yuji Kawabe, if he really wants to gain Zhao Hongyu's favor, and Zhao Hongyu really treats him as his own, this is a long way to go.

And there's no trick to it.

Therefore, Yuji Kawabe can only come step by step and gain Zhao Hongyu's trust and favor through some small things.

For these Dao'er, Yuji Riverside is a clear man.

For Yuji Kawabe, since he has taken refuge in Zhao Hongyu, he has become a dog.

Then he has to think about the future of himself and his wife.

Now he is still a slave lieutenant, and he very much hopes to get rid of this status.

In order to seek greater development.

Besides, Yuji Riverbe found that Zhao Hongyu and they don't exist here to judge people by their appearance.

And no one is greedy for his wife, who resembles a certain actress.

These were things he had never encountered on the Osaka Castle side.

These are of course good things for Yuji Riverbe.

If you don't judge people by their appearance, then Yuji Kawabe can rely on his ability and cleverness to improve his status.

For his own ability, Yuji Kawabe is still very confident.

It's just that he was so bad in Osaka Castle at the beginning, and the main reason for this is the city lord Ishida Aido, who looks down on himself because he looks very fat.

That's why he has no room to play.

And there are too many jealous guys in Osaka City, and if one is not good, he will be yin by those guys, so Yuji Kawabe wisely chose to keep a low profile.

Otherwise, he didn't know how many times Lu Dao had died.

Now he has broken away from Osaka Castle and become a prisoner of Zhao Hongyu.

Under pressure, in order to survive, he stood up and took refuge with Zhao Hongyu and them.

Originally, this was a choice out of desperation, but Yuji Kawabe found that life here is actually quite good.

No one here looks at people with discrimination.

And he found the most important thing, which is that as long as you have real skills, then you can get ahead here.

Although there are still many problems that these people have to face, Yuji Kawabe has decided anyway, and he will follow these people to do it.

Anyway, it's not about doing things anywhere.

At the very least, find a place where you are comfortable to do things.

Yuji Riverbe thinks it's a good place.

Because it allows him to use his own talents, and he doesn't have to worry about those villains.

This thought came from after his wife was rescued. It became even more determined.

Of course, villains are not without them.

For Yuji Kawabe, his top boss Sozo Iguchi is such a person.

However, Iguchi Shuzo was not taken seriously by Yuji Kawabe, because Yuji Kawabe didn't think that Iguchi Shuzo would be his opponent at all.

Hmph, it's just a fisherman.

Just when the heroic hero by the river was thinking wildly, Zhao Hongyu spoke: "Now that we are facing the attack of the crusading army, there is not much time left. But I think I can teach you something in the future, and if you're interested, I can let you learn artillery tactics. Later let you manage an artillery regiment. ”

He didn't know how big the artillery regiment was, but he was clear about the meaning of Zhao Hongyu's words.

Because it showed that he could break away from the wellhead and become the commander of an independent army.

At least, the status was much stronger than it is now.

And judging by the meaning of this highness, he attaches great importance to the artillery unit, which is another good thing for himself.

To be able to become an important and wrong general, this identity and status ...... Aha!

Yuji Kawabe really wants to laugh wild now to express his happiness right now.

But he knew it. You can't do that yourself.

Therefore, he held back the excitement in his heart, and responded to Zhao Hongyu with such an indifferent expression.

"Oh, my subordinates will not disappoint His Highness."

Zhao Hongyu sat up straight. Looking at Yuji Riverside, he nodded with satisfaction.

"I have faith in you, and I promise you that as long as you are sincere and loyal to me, the benefits I will give you are definitely not available to you here, and you can't think of it."

After speaking. Zhao Hongyu didn't wait for Yuji Riverbe to continue to show his loyalty, and then asked, "Your current status is still a slave lieutenant, right?" ”

Zhao Hongyu thought of the identity he gave to Yuji Riverbe at the beginning.

Yuji Kawabe nodded: "Yes, Your Highness." ”

After answering Zhao Hongyu. Yuji Riverbe's heart moved.

What is the reason why this young man is asking this, is it possible that I will soon be able to get rid of my slave status?

Thinking of this, Yuji Kawabe's excitement, which he had finally suppressed, slowly began to boil again.

"When this battle is over, I will begin to teach you the tactics of artillery myself, and at that time you will be freed from slave status and given you a formal official position. But I'm here to let you know that when you become a person with an official position, you are not Japanese, and you need to renounce your nationality. ”

Nationality?

Yuji Riverbe glanced at Zhao Hongyu puzzled, but he reacted quickly.

"Oh, you're going to make me give up my Japanese identity, right?" , Yuji Kawabe asked.

Zhao Hongyu nodded, acknowledging this.

For this, Yuji Kawabe is very indifferent.

In this era, the general people are still very indifferent to this concept of the country, especially the countries of the Ming Dynasty and Zhou, including the Wa State.

Only the people of the Ming Dynasty have a clear idea of the ancestors of the country and will not easily abandon their ancestors.

However, their concept of the state is only the imperial court.

However, even if this is the case, it is stronger than other countries in the world world in this era.

As a Japanese people, Yuji Kawabe doesn't care whether he is loyal or disloyal to the country and the court.

"There is no problem here for subordinates, everything is subject to the arrangements of His Highness."

At this time, in the secret place of the forest outside Zhao Hongyu's camp, where a group of men and women in different costumes were hiding, they constantly began to look at the camp and plan something. (To be continued......)
