Chapter 684 30. The Zaga Clan's Cannons Are Sharp

Under the true image of Amitabha Tathagata, the Buddha's gun shines brightly.

Although it seems that the natural and conservative nature of temple religion and other things is related to the traditional stubbornness, Honganji is different, and its receptive ability is quite good. When iron cannons were introduced, iron cannons were used. Now that cannons are introduced, these monks and officials say nothing.

Buy buy buy!

Fujiwara Danmasa, let's discuss it. Since we are all for the same "great cause", we don't want more from you. Sell us ten or eight first. If it works well and has results in the future, let’s keep in touch!

Of course, Xiaopingta stretched out his hand and spread his five fingers. The monks and officials, including Xia Jian Laizhao and Xia Jian Lai Lian, frowned slightly when they saw this number.

Five hundred is five hundred!

"No, no, it's five thousand!" Xiaopingtai took back her hand and quoted the price truthfully.

At this time, the expressions of these monks really changed. One Buddha machine cost 5,000 guan, and two of them cost 10,000 guan. The Yamauchi family gave Honganji a cannon worth 10,000 guan. What kind of friendship is this? It’s so incredible!

"Actually, although this cannon is said to be sold for five thousand guan, it was obtained by the Chechidan missionary when he came to preach in the mountains. He threatened the former prime minister with a huge sum of 5,000 guan, but in fact it is not so expensive in the southern barbarian country. The prime minister finally used Hamamatsu Port and promised to preach in exchange for this cannon. "

"The Southern Barbarians are not a country of civilization and etiquette after all." Lai Lian was most concerned about the cannon.

"So this cannon is really valuable in our country, and it is very difficult to cast. Each one takes many years to build. Even in my mountain, there are only more than ten." Xiaoping Tai was exaggerating anyway. There are even bronze smoothbore cannons in the mountain. Now that I have them, I don’t really care about cannons like the Folangji that fire shotguns.

"Imagining that this cannon is so powerful, it must be difficult to cast. I heard that it takes more than a month to complete an iron cannon. This cannon is not only ten times more powerful, it should take more than a year."

Shimoma Yizhao realized that it took him a month to get all one iron cannon. One shot of this Folan machine would definitely be more powerful than ten iron cannons.

"So when I come here this time, I can only give you two as gifts to the Master first. After our army prepares, we will send two more in the future!" Xiaopingtai's tone was full of understanding of justice.

"Your Majesty's kindness will be unforgettable in our hospital!" Master Xianru probably thought it was Meng Lang. It is unrealistic to ask for ten or eight cannons immediately. Let's take our time.

Since there was no way to buy a cannon, everyone at Honganji took the next best thing and immediately asked the Yamauchi family's gunners to teach the Honganji's trusted monk soldiers how to fire cannons.

In the past, Xiaopingtai sent skilled gunners from Nanman merchant ships to learn gunnery skills. It took him more than a year. He even learned how to estimate the wind force and use a gun gauge and a gun rule. As for calculating the amount of ammunition and maintaining the artillery, let’s not even mention it.

The purpose of learning so carefully is actually so that you can start using it directly when making your own bronze smoothbore cannon, rather than to use a relatively rudimentary mother-and-sonium cannon like the Folan machine.

The monks like Yamauchi's tutor will definitely not be so serious. Anyway, as long as your Honganji Temple learns how to make a large fan of one to two hundred meters! Cannons were placed on top of the city. If the Oda army attacked, they would be given five rounds of continuous fire, and there would be no need to talk about precise shooting.

I can make do with it, but I can really teach you so much!

I thought this in my heart, but Xiao Pingtai must be full of good words, and she just needs to teach, know and distribute. The threshold was also deliberately raised. It is best to learn from educated monks and soldiers who have some basic knowledge of mathematics, and it is best to be able to calculate and write.

After teaching an educated monk soldier, he can teach you more monk soldiers in Honganji Temple to fire cannons! Look how much our Fujiwara bombs think about your Honganji!

The great monks were right. The technology of this thing must be in the hands of the monks themselves. Lai Lian was naturally eager to give it a try, but unfortunately, as a "Dharma Eye", he had to command the monks and nuns and handle common affairs, so he couldn't be distracted here.

The monks who came to learn the art of gunnery have to discuss it again. They are not safe if they are not safe people.

"May I ask, Master, have you heard that the leaders of the Zahe and others are also in the temple?" Xiaopingtai was going to Jizhou to contact the Zahes. If these people were in Shishan, there would be no need for Xiaoping to make such a long trip.

"Isn't this it! Congratulations to everyone, Suzuki Sunichi, the son of Satafu." Shimomo Lai Lian pointed a few meters back.

Suzuki shows off again!

Although Suzuki Shigehide was short in stature, he was very fast. He immediately stepped forward when he heard the call. The weather in February, even in Stone Mountain, was a bit chilly. But Suzuki Shigehide only wore a waistcoat-style red coat, and his arms had obvious muscles. He was more like jumping than walking.

"What's wrong with Fujiwara Danmasa?" Suzuki Shigehide, who is around thirty years old, is when a man is full of energy. He spoke with great energy. As soon as he opened his mouth, the monks walking in front of him were startled.

"It's okay, I just heard that the people of Kishu are brave and good at fighting, so I asked you this!" Xiaoping is so popular in the public, and it is impossible for him to say that if I give you three thousand taels of gold, you should immediately fall out with Oda Nobunaga.

And now it seems that Koheta no longer needs to pay this money. The Honganji Temple has hired people from Kishu and others. Once the time is right, the Kishu people will form three armies and rush to Settsu to attack Oda Nobunaga. .

"If there is anything useful that can benefit our mixed crowd, just speak up!"

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

Since he had met him, Kobayata was still a little interested in him. After all, he was a famous samurai. It was said that his family actually occupied 17,000 kan (70,000 koku? Doubtful) of territory in Kishu, and was a powerful local tyrant. In addition, he was engaged in such mercenary activities and fought everywhere. I dare not say that he was very experienced, but he was definitely experienced.

"I think Master Xianru has already given instructions." At this moment, Kobayata was considered to be the secret assistant of Honganji, so there was no need to be too secretive when asking questions.

"Yes, we have all obeyed the order."

"I heard that you are skilled in iron cannons, and I would like to see them if I have the chance."

"It's better to do it today than to choose a day. I have dozens of my sons here!" Suzuki Shigehide was open-minded.

After thinking about it, since he had spoken, Kobayata would just follow the host's wishes and stop. Let the monks go back to the courtyard first, and stay in the playground to see the world-famous Saiga Iron Cannon Group.

Twenty or so Zaga soldiers lined up in three rows, and fired a row of shots. As expected, the iron cannons were used very skillfully. The coordination was also quite smooth, without any gaps.

"Sure enough!" Xiao Pingtai applauded sincerely, feeling that Suzuki Shigehide's iron cannons were better than his own.

"What a pity, no matter how sharp, they can't compare to the cannons that are firing correctly!" Suzuki Shigehide's words were full of meaning.

Good boy!

Waiting for me here!
