Chapter 17 Nobunaga raises money to buy iron cannons

Everyone immediately followed Oda Nobunaga's footsteps, and Maeda Inuchiyo pulled Nobukuro and asked: "You didn't read it from a book again, did you?"

Xinhu thought that if he lied too much, it would be difficult to cover up the lie, so he changed the subject and said: "We will talk about this later, let's catch up with the master of the family quickly."

He shook off Maeda Inu Chiyo and left in a hurry.

Maeda Inu Chiyo immediately followed him. He wanted to ask Nobutora what book he read, and then buy it for Sawaki Yoshiyuki.

Trust Tiger quickened his pace along the way and ignored Inu Chiyo Maeda.

Oda Nobunaga returned to the residence hall. He seemed to have thought of something and turned back: "Nobutora, follow me. Let the others do their own thing."

Inuchiyo Maeda returned to Akamu Yizu's room with some regrets, and said there: "What book did Nobutora read? Why is it so powerful?"

Oda Echizen Mamoru and Iio Naokyo shook their heads slightly, and they whispered closely: "Inuchiyo is young after all. From the book, this must be an excuse."

This is the case for adults. If you know what you are saying is an excuse, there is no need to go into detail. It will only make both parties embarrassed if you make it clear.

And everyone has seen Oda Nobunaga's attitude. He doesn't care how Nobutora knows, he only needs to know that what Nobutora said is useful to him.

……

Oda Nobunaga took Nobutora directly to the place where Hirate Masahide was working. Hirate Masahide hurriedly saluted and said, "Master, why are you here?"

"Let everyone else go down."

Oda Nobunaga sat directly on a relatively empty desk.

Hirate Hisahide immediately left with the others.

Hirate Masahide looked at Nobutora and said: "Open all the doors."

Nobutora immediately opened the wooden doors on three sides, so that he could see the surrounding situation at a glance.

Oda Nobunaga then said: "Masahide, I need a sum of money to expand the iron artillery team to three hundred people."

"three hundred?"

Hirate Masahide was a little surprised. The Oda family currently had one hundred iron cannons, and such a small amount cost the Oda family six thousand kan Yongle money.

Now we need to add another two hundred coins, which is twelve thousand Yongle coins.

Although the Oda family focuses on business, such a large sum of money can drain the wealth of the Oda family.

He immediately shook his head and said: "Master of the family, I forgive my refusal. Two hundred is too much. Once this money is taken out, the Oda family will be in a loss."

Oda Nobunaga didn't have any doubts. He knew that Hirate Masahide would not lie to him, he would only give words to dissuade him.

The lack of money gave Nobunaga a headache.

He scratched the back of his head and couldn't help but said: "Do we still have to ask that woman Gui Die!"

Hirate Masahide advised: "My lord, the iron cannon is really not suitable for combat. Please stop thinking."

Oda Nobunaga immediately retorted: "You are wrong, Masahide, one, ten, or even a hundred iron cannons may not have much effect, but three hundred, five hundred or even a thousand!

You should remember that when the iron cannon was fired for the first time, a piece of iron armor shot directly through the front. With such powerful power, can you say it is useless? "

Hirate Masahide found that he could not refute, so he had to stick to his point of view and said: "But the financial resources of the family cannot support the head of the family to purchase so many iron cannons."

Oda Nobunaga gritted his teeth and said, "How much can you take out now?"

"A maximum of six thousand Yongle coins."

Hirate Masahide replied.

"Okay, then take it out and buy the iron cannon."

Oda Nobunaga stood up immediately. He looked outside and made a decision.

"Let's go, Nobutora."

Oda Nobunaga left in a hurry, and soon took Nobutora to the backyard, where Guice was playing with Nobunaga's younger brothers and sisters.

When she saw Nobunaga coming with Nobutora, she stood up to greet him and said, "Why is Nobunaga back at this time?"

Oda Nobunaga was a little disgusted when he saw this arrogant woman, and felt unhappy. It must be Yoshino. Although Yoshino was someone else's wife, he was obsessed with her. However, he asked Gui Die for help, and said in a soft tone: "I have something to ask you for help. You have to lend me six thousand Guan Yongle money. This matter must be kept secret."

Guidi became interested and said: "It seems that you don't want my father to know. Why, is Nobunaga guarding against our Saito family?"

"of course not."

Oda Nobunaga immediately denied it.

"I care about other things."

Gui Die smiled slightly and did not continue to ask. She nodded and said: "Yes, I will lend you six thousand Guan Yongle money, but you must remember to pay it back."

Oda Nobunaga breathed a sigh of relief. With this money, he could collect 300 iron cannons.

Gui Die immediately wrote a handwritten letter, and then asked the maid to call his retainers over.

When she married into the Oda family, she brought a generous dowry and a group of retainers.

Ando Iga Mamoru, who came following the imperial edict, was in charge of Gui Die's retainers.

Ando Igamomo stepped forward to salute, first greeted Guidie, and then saluted Oda Nobunaga.

"Miss, what do you have to say to me?"

Gui Die took out his handwriting and said: "Go and get six thousand kan Yongle money to Lord Nobunaga. This matter will be kept secret."

"Ha! I understand, veteran!"

Ando Iga Mamoru immediately withdrew, and soon, he and more than ten people carried several large boxes, which contained Yongle money, bad money, and Jin Xiaopan, the amount of which was exactly 6,000 Yongle money.

Nobunaga turned around and said, "Nobutora, ask someone to bring the money to Masahide and ask him to get things done quickly."

"what!"

Nobutora immediately called the mother-in-law and Nobunaga's nickname, and more than ten people carried the big box to the courtyard where the appointment was held, and handed it over to Hirate Masahide.

Hirate Masahide sighed, he glanced at Nobutora, and then ordered Hirate Hisahide to do something.

To buy iron cannons, he still had to go to Kii's Tsuda Superintendent, who was one of the leaders of the Nerai clan and was good at making iron cannons. The quality of Kishu's iron cannons was no worse than those of Tanegashima and Sakai.

Then Oda Nobunaga sent someone to call Nobutora to meet him in the study.

Oda Nobunaga was waiting with his arms folded, and Nobutora quickly stepped forward to salute.

He waved his hand and said: "Don't do these unnecessary things."

"Nobuhu, you have also seen that many people in the family are not optimistic about iron cannons, but you are very familiar with iron cannons and seem to know how to use them.

I don't care where you know it from, but you have to remember that you have to serve me.

Next, you will train the iron artillery team for me. If you train the iron artillery team well, I will let you serve as the iron artillery general. "

Nobutora was very moved when he heard Nobunaga's promise. After becoming the Iron Cannon General, he definitely didn't need to rush to the front. But judging from Hirate Masahide's attitude and the attitudes of other women in uniform today, it can be seen that no one likes the Iron Cannon. .

If I accept this task, I am afraid that I will be squeezed out by others in the future.

"Why, don't you want to?"

Seeing Oda Nobunaga's face turn ugly, Nobutora stopped thinking and quickly explained: "The head of the family has spent so much thought on the iron artillery team. I am worried that my ability is insufficient and it will delay your important event."

"You are really overly cautious."

Oda Nobunaga was a little dissatisfied.

"This is my order, you must do it well."

Nobuhu had no choice but to accept the order.

"You go back and think about it carefully, and come and take over the iron artillery team tomorrow."

Nobunaga waved his hand and told Nobtora to go home early.
