Great name!

Chapter 18 Plan

It was not yet noon, and Nobutora had returned home early. His younger brother Jiro was practicing gun skills in the yard, and his younger sister Axiang was helping Asha clean up the housework.

When Axia saw Xinhu coming back with a strange object in his arms and a frown on his face, he quickly stepped forward to say hello: "Husband, welcome home, thank you for your hard work."

"Ah, Axia."

Nobuhu replied in a lackluster tone, then walked to the corridor, took off his straw sandals, and walked on the floor wearing only the footbags. However, this would still leave a shallow footprint, which would be obvious when the sun shines on it.

Axia gave Axiang instructions, and she quickly followed Xinhu into the main hall. Then she massaged Xinhu who was sitting down and said, "Why are you back so early? Husband."

Nobuhu replied: "The master of the family asked me to train the iron artillery team tomorrow, so he asked me to come back early to rest and think about how to teach."

"Iron cannon?"

Axia had never seen it before, so she was a little confused.

Nobuhu pointed to the iron cannon lying across his legs and said, "That's it, the iron cannon. It's a weapon passed down from the Nanman people."

"Is this also a weapon? How to fight?"

Axia asked curiously.

Nobuhu explained it to Axia.

Axia understood a little better and asked, "Does the head of the family attach great importance to this matter?"

Nobuhu nodded and said: "Yes, the emergence of iron cannons will change our war. It only takes three months for soldiers to use such weapons proficiently, and then easily kill a samurai."

"This... is so appalling!"

Axia instantly understood the meaning.

For a prince, the number of warriors represents combat effectiveness. On the battlefield, warrior duel is the key to victory or defeat.

Now the emergence of iron cannons has suddenly changed this situation. As long as the miscellaneous soldiers have iron cannons, they can kill the elite warriors. This is definitely not cost-effective.

Axia said with a somewhat serious tone: "This matter is indeed very important, but the fact that the head of the family entrusted this matter to the husband means that the head of the family believes in the husband, and I also believe that the husband can do it, come on!"

Nobuhu looked at Axia, then at Jiro and Axiang outside, he nodded vigorously and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely work hard!"

After lunch, Nobuhu stayed in the study and wrote a training plan.

As a person from later generations, he has seen military training videos, strategies, etc., mainly to see actual operations. However, he has experienced military training in high school and college, and has a profound impression of it.

As an iron cannon phalanx, the formation must be well-organized, and the ashigaru must be strictly trained to make everything instinctive and subconscious behavior, and cultivate the habit of obeying orders.

Therefore, he combined the experience of line infantry and modern military training to write his own iron artillery training instructions.

The most important thing here is how to convey orders accurately.

In the era of line infantry, orders were conveyed through military music rhythms and flags. Modern infantry does not have to be so troublesome because it is a skirmisher formation.

The iron artillery team trained by Nobutora was very close to the line infantry, so he had to compile a command system.

However, this matter is not completely clear. He can adapt and fill in the existing command system.

In terms of musical instruments, in addition to taiko drums, horns, and conch shells, he also added suonas and whistles to supplement them.

As for walking in queue, it requires practical operation.

Nobuhu spent an afternoon putting together his training plan.

Looking at the completed plan, he breathed a sigh of relief. Now that he has taken this step, he has no choice but to do his best.

Otherwise, if you are ostracized by your colleagues first, fail to train well later, offend your colleagues and then offend your boss, then you will not be able to stay in the Oda family.

So Nobutora decided to do his best to do this. After all, Nobunaga is a potential stock. If he doesn't hold on tight now, how long will it take?

Early the next morning, Nobutora came to Oda Nobunaga confidently with his plan in hand.

He first arrived at the small courtyard of the mother-in-law. Maeda Inuchiyo was looking for Nobutora, but Nobutora found Sawaki Yoshiyuki first. He took out the plan and handed it to Yoshiyuki Sawaki and said: "Lord Sawaki, please give this construction document to the head of the family. The head of the family will know what it is."

Sawaki Yoshiyuki put away his envious eyes and immediately reported the plan to Oda Nobunaga.

Oda Nobunaga took a look at the plan and slightly raised the corner of his mouth: "Where is Nobutora?"

"The small courtyard of the mother-in-law."

Ryoyuki Sawaki replied somewhat lonely.

Oda Nobunaga immediately stood up and strode out.

A few minutes later, Oda Nobunaga came to the mother's house, and Maeda Inuchiyo was asking Nobutora what books he was reading.

Oda Nobunaga stepped forward and grabbed Chiyo, the Maeda dog, and cursed, "What are you doing, dog?"

Sawaki Yoshiyuki quickly knelt down and said: "Master of the family, please forgive my brother's recklessness."

Maeda Inuchiyo replied unconvinced: "I want to ask Nobutora what book he is reading, and then I will buy it for Yoshiyuki to read."

"You dog, huh, get out of here."

Oda Nobunaga ignored Maeda Inu Chiyo for the sake of Sawaki Yoshiyuki.

"Nobutora, follow me."

"what!"

Nobuhu responded quickly.

He randomly saluted Maeda Inuchiyo and Sawaki Yoshiyuki and said, "I'm sorry."

Nobutora immediately followed Oda Nobunaga and came to the place where the iron artillery team was training.

The lifespan of an iron cannon is about two hundred rounds. In a battle, it cannot fire more than twenty rounds continuously, otherwise it will explode.

Lead bullets and gunpowder are precious, and one shot costs dozens of dollars, and it also consumes the life of the iron cannon.

Therefore, the training of the iron artillery team is mainly about loading ammunition.

Nobutora watched the training of this hundred-man team. They were already very skilled in reloading.

He then suggested to Nobunaga: "They are already very skilled in reloading skills. I think the next step is to train them in other subjects."

"It's up to you to decide what to do. I just need to see the results."

Oda Nobunaga did not continue to listen to Tora's report.

"Xinhu, do this well and impress others. I won't treat you badly."

This time Nobutora was full of confidence and took over the training of this iron artillery team from Oda Nobunaga.

In the past, this iron artillery team was trained by Oda Nobunaga himself, without relying on others. Now that it is trained by him, I am afraid that many people will be unconvinced, especially since he looks very young.

However, the centurions here are all Ashigaru, and there are no samurai, which reduces a lot of difficulty.

Nobutora stood on the high platform and shouted loudly: "My name is Tsuda Nobutora. I am a member of the Red Mother Clothes under the command of the master of the family. I killed two enemy generals and several miscellaneous soldiers in the battle at Akazuka, and captured the enemy general. Anyone who refuses to accept can do so now." Come out and compete with me."

When everyone heard about Xinhu's achievements, there was a slight commotion.

Who would have thought that this young man could be so ruthless.

Nobuhu continued: "If you challenge me now, I won't be angry, but after training starts, I will never be polite to anyone who dares to cause trouble. I will deal with the troublemakers in accordance with the regulations, do you understand!"

"understand!"

We were all miscellaneous soldiers before, but we became ashigaru in confusion. Who dares to quarrel with the samurai and risk his life? To be honest and obedient is to listen to who is practicing and not to practice?
