Saito Yoshiryu's proposal was quickly responded to by many daimyo in the surrounding area, and the truth of "lips and teeth are cold" is very clear to everyone, if Oda Nobunaga defeats the Saito family in one go, maybe his next target will be himself. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

These daimyo either directly set up troops on the border and eyed Oda Nobunaga's territory, or sent envoys to exert pressure on Oda Nobunaga in the name of mediating the war. The daimyo of the Rokkaku family, who had a good relationship with the Saito family, even directly supported a batch of military supplies from Saito Yoshiryu, including a small number of Goho guns and lead bullet gunpowder.

Oda Nobunaga, who defeated Saito Yoshiryu, is like a cheetah that is prey, he has already bitten the prey, but the prey is desperately struggling, so he has not been able to completely swallow the delicious food in front of him, how can he obediently let go of his mouth at this time because of the peeping eyes of a group of hungry wolves around him?

However, Oda Nobunaga did not adopt the method of all-out confrontation by force, but stopped military operations and sent envoys to lobby these daimyos, who seemed to be very worried about these daimyos joining forces against him.

But secretly, Oda Nobunaga is constantly buying the heroes of the Mino region and the important ministers under Saito Yoshiryu. Without the support of these people, Saito Yoshiryu would at most be able to control the area around Inabayama Castle, and at least half of the troops that could be mobilized would be reduced.

The originally tense atmosphere seemed to have eased overnight, and while the daimyo in the surrounding area was satisfied, he was also studying Oda Nobunaga's combat power. In the past, the Oda family did not fight against the daimyo around them, but the victory and defeat were not particularly powerful, and all these changes obviously happened recently.

In a short period of time, the various areas of Mino and Owari were filled with spies from different places with the same purpose. After some investigation, it was found that Oda Nobunaga's strength was able to expand so quickly, and it all started from the battle of Barrel Sama.

Almost all of the daimyo set their sights on the Gominee Gun, and whether it was the previous Battle of Barrel Sasama or the later Battle of Sumama, Oda Nobunaga relied on this new type of firearm from the Ming Kingdom to kill and wound a large number of enemies.

Originally, no matter how powerful the firearm was, its own protective ability was always an irreparable defect, and it was still very possible to break through the position of the firearms with cavalry, but who knew that Oda Nobunaga actually used something called "barbed wire" when he was in Sumamata, and easily blocked the route of the Saito soldiers.

When I first got the Five Peaks, all of these daimyo tried to imitate them, and needless to say, it was definitely impossible to succeed. Now the daimyo asked the craftsmen to imitate the barbed wire according to the agent's description, and once again failed.

During this period, there were clever people who switched to materials such as wood to make things like the rejection of horses, which could have a certain effect, but compared with the effect of barbed wire, it was completely different from heaven and earth.

After two imitation failures, these daimyo were shocked by the craftsmanship of the Ming Kingdom, and invariably hit Yang Guang with their ideas, hoping to obtain a large number of Wufeng guns and barbed wire from Changdao Port to equip their army.

Yang Guangduan sat in the dock office and listened to Ikeda Hengxing, who was sitting opposite, say, "Nobu-sama hopes that we can buy another batch of Wufeng guns, and we can pay 30% of the gold first, and then use the tax revenue of Cheongju Castle as collateral to gradually pay it off over the next two years. ”

Yang Guang knew that Nobunaga must have spent money like water during this time, but he didn't expect the other party to even come up with the trick of "installment payment". It's a pity that the collateral of "Cheongju City Tax" is more attractive to people who seek political interests, and if it is operated properly, it may be possible to obtain some unexpected benefits from it, but in Yang Guang's eyes, it is equivalent to a flower in the moon mirror in the water, and he still prefers to carry the gold into his pocket.

Yang Guang estimated that Oda Nobunaga put forward this condition, in addition to really wanting to buy Goho guns on credit, he also had some intention of testing his own ideas, so he refused on the spot without hesitation.

Seeing that he had failed to achieve his goal, Ikeda got up with some distress and left, passing by a chubby man, who glanced at Ikeda's back with contempt, came to his place next to Yang Guang and knelt down, and opened his mouth to express his intention.

In fact, even if this fat man didn't say anything, Yang Guang knew that he was here to buy Wufeng guns, because last time he bought 300 on behalf of the Hexagonal family. It seems that the hexagonal family has made a lot of profits in the resale business, and this time it is actually asking for as many as 500 pieces.

Yang Guang asked Ikeda Hengxing to ask two questions as usual, and after receiving an affirmative answer, Yang Guang accepted the gold, delivered the goods, and completed the transaction.

After the fat man asked the accompanying soldiers to tie up the Wufeng Gun strongly, he escorted this batch of munitions out of Long Island Harbor, but he didn't know that two tails were quietly followed behind him.

The fat man brought dozens of elite Rokkaku soldiers, and ordinary bandits naturally did not dare to attack them, so the journey was very smooth, and he soon left the territory of the Oda family and entered the Mino region.

After passing through the Saito family's Daheng City, the fat man finally breathed a sigh of relief, the city lord of Daheng City, Inaba Kachitetsu, is an important minister of the Saito family, and his soldiers are very strong, and the power of the Oda family has not extended here.

The fat man was worried about the benefits of the promise, and continued to hurry with the team, and soon came to the place that had been agreed in advance, and the last time he played a play here, not only did the master get a rich return by reselling the Wufeng gun, but even he, the person who handled it, also had a lot of benefits.

"Stop!" A group of mountain bandits came out of their hiding place and shouted at the fat man. The fat man took a closer look and saw that the half-guards of Takenaka were not among them, but there were several people who they had seen during the last transaction, so he stepped forward with a smile.

"This is the promised gold, please check it!" Those who pretended to be mountain bandits shouted loudly, but in private they seemed very polite, after all, they were asking for help now.

The fat man opened the box and took a look, and found that the number was much better than expected, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and at the moment he closed the box, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest, but it was the other party who inserted the katana into his body.

"Aren't they afraid of the retribution of the Hexagons?" This was the last thought in the fat man's mind, and he heard the sound of the iron cannon firing in his ears, and watched the soldiers he brought with him being knocked to the ground one by one, and finally lost his will with puzzlement.
