"But you can apply what you have learned immediately when you stay at Takeda's house, but you can't do anything here." Yu Qiuping scratched his hair with some guilt and said embarrassedly: "I can't even rely on the sea now, only a few small broken boats in Kiso River. You are not wasting your time here."

"Don't worry about Hongye, don't worry about this." When Idao Yasuki heard this, he shook his head indifferently and said: "We have brought back a lot of drawings and models from Europa, which requires a long time to study. No matter how bad I can use Kisokawa's ship to help Hongye train a sailor, which will always be used in the future. Moreover, we have also brought the technology of casting cannons from Europa, which is the technology of forging a large cylinder, which will definitely help Hongye."

"Casting cannons? That's good! You can show this technology to Hanamaru and the others. If you can cast cannons by yourself, it would be great!" Yu Qiuping smiled excitedly, "Hanamaru and the others just copied the iron cannon a few days ago, and now there is new work to do."

"Better than this, there is another more important thing to tell you." Idan Kangqing seemed not infected by Yu Qiuping's joy at all, and his face was still very low. He waved his hand, and a brother waiting by the roadside walked towards Yu Qiuping with a gloomy face. The child was not old, probably only 2 or 3 years old, and his eyebrows were particularly thick.

"Is this?" Yu Qiuping looked at the child and was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yidan Katsuki in confusion.

"This is the orphan of the second son of Asahina." After a moment of silence, Ida Yasuki said in a low voice.

"What about my elder brother?" Yu Qiupi asked subconsciously when he heard the name of Taehyung, he blurted out. Then he was stunned.

Because he suddenly realized what the word "orphan" means.

My heart seemed to be suddenly tightly held by one hand, and I pulled it down hard until the bottomless abyss.

Half an hour later, Yu Qiuping was sitting on the tatami on the third floor of Tianshou Pavilion, with her arms tightly wrapped around her knees and sobbing in a low voice. Idan Katsuki leaned against the table, and his eyes were also filled with tears. The orphan of Akane Taehyung seemed to be not very sensible, and sat uneasily on the tatami. The door of the room was quietly left by Longko. Her big watery eyes were passing through the gap, carefully looking at Yu Qiuping's appearance - he suddenly cried loudly at the gate of the city just now, but Longko was frightened.

"My elder brother... was so brave enough to be loyal to the Imakawa family... that fool... only he can do such a stupid thing." Yu Qiuping wiped his tears and choked in a low voice: "It's a pity that he can do it by challenging tens of thousands of troops by himself... it's a big brother who can do it."

"Iyasu told me that Takeda Shingen repeatedly ordered that no one would allow anyone to disclose the feat of the two young masters of Asahi Na that day. Even for this, even the guns and bullets that died heroically did not die in secret," Ida Yasuki shook his head in confusion, "I heard that the Junfu Castle was burned. Takeda Shingen sent people to search multiple times to destroy all the records and things related to Asahi Nahi Na's lifetime, as if they wanted to completely eliminate the evidence of his existence. The Tokugawa family seemed to cooperate with him and also avoided the matter of Asahi Na's second masters."

"The reason why the orphan of Asahitani's orphan came to me... was also thanks to the Tokugawa family." Ida Yasuki said in a low voice with extremely sarcastic words: "When the Tokugawa family released the prisoners of war in Kagawa Castle, the Tokugawa family asked His Highness Asahitani to leave the orphan and widow of Asahitani. His Highness Asahitani knew that something was wrong, and suspected that the Tokugawa family wanted to make Asahitani's second son completely disappear. Therefore, he casually found a child of appropriate age from the city and handed it out to the widow of Asahitani's widow. Now the two of them have no news. This child was secretly brought to Ejiri by His Highness Asahitani, and happened to meet me, so I took him to Hongye. His Highness Asahitani said that even if everyone in the world wants to chase this child, Hongye will definitely protect him."

"Take Chiyoya..." Yu Qiuhei felt apprehensive for no reason when he heard that the Tokugawa family had cooperated with such an action. Takeda Shingen may have been related to Asahina Taehyung, but Tokugawa Ieyasu had been with Asahina Taehyung for so long! Is he really cruel? That's just a child! In order to kill all the traces of my elder brother's survival, don't you even let the child go?

"I don't understand why the Takeda family and Tokugawa family did this." Yasuki Itan shook his head heavily, expressing his resentment and resentment. "Doesn't the feat of Asahina's second son be praised by the Warrior family?"

"Kang Qing, you don't understand these twists and turns in politics." Yu Qiuping sighed, and his heart was as clear as a mirror. "They not only wanted to destroy the Imakawa family physically, but also psychologically destroyed the Imakawa family's remaining ministers and the people under the Imakawa family's rule. They would publicize the Imakawa family's actions and cowardice, so that they would erase such loyal and brave deeds to stabilize the rule of the Imakawa family's old leader... Throughout the dynasties, did not do this when the king's flag changed on the city wall?"

·

After Yu Qiuping said this, Ida Yasuki suddenly realized. The two looked at each other for a moment, but they were speechless. Yu Qiuping was silent for a while, suddenly stood up and walked to the side of Asahina Taehyung's orphan.

"Child, what's your name?" Yu Qiuping said to this ignorant child who had lost his father and mother in the gentlest voice as possible.

"My name is Matsu Chiyo." Although the child was not very clear, he seemed not afraid of being angry at all and said his name openly.

"Matsu Chiyo?" Yu Qiuhei smiled and squatted in front of the child, gently rubbing his hair with his hands. But when Yu Qiuhei's eyes were focused on Matsu Chiyo's face, Akihito's voice and smile seemed to suddenly appear in front of him! The thick eyebrows and bright eyes were almost carved from the same mold as Askihito's.

Yu Qiuping, who had finally managed to control his emotions, suddenly burst into tears and hugged the child tightly.

My brother is the first person I met in this world and the first person to lend a helping hand to me.

If I hadn't had my elder brother, I might have starved to death on the streets long ago. Where did I have the present life? He cared for me who was homeless and sheltered me from the wind and rain for me who knew nothing. How could this kind of kindness be over? Who would have thought that when I parted at the ferry at 8 years ago, it would be a farewell forever.

Suddenly, Yu Qiuping's back of his head suddenly felt a soft touch. He was stunned for a moment, opened his eyes, and found that Matsu Chiyo was actually stroking the back of his head with his little hands, as if he wanted to comfort him.

Just like his elder brother back then.

"Matsu Chiyo, my name is Yu Qiuping, Yu Qiuhongye." Yu Qiuping held back his crying and whimpered to the child with a smile on his face, "I am your father's younger brother, you can call me uncle. During the period when your father was away, he lived at his uncle's house, okay?"

On June 9, the 11th year of Yonglu (1568), the Tianshou Pavilion in Kurota Castle.

Yu Qiuhei was sitting at the table to correct official documents, looking up from time to time, smiling as Imagawa Kaeda took Asahimatsu Chiyo and Yu Qiuguang to play there. Yu Qiuyou seemed to have passed the age of playing. It was obvious that in Yu Qiuhei's era, 8 and 9-year-old children were still playing carefree. However, as children from the martial arts family, they still followed Takenaka Shigeji and Amano Keito to interned in the General Staff and court respectively. Yu Qiuzen also ran out and played in the garden with Nao Ezumaru and a group of children of similar age.

Because Matsu Chiyo is young and ignorant, he was able to quickly walk out of the shadow of wandering. He and Yu Qiuguang, who are more than one year younger than him, are having a lot of fun at this moment.

Just when Yu Qiuping was in a daze, the guards at the door brought news that the Military Industry Department of Lan Xianghua Digging needed him to go there.

Yu Qiuping settled all the brothers brought by Ida Katsuki a few days ago. Some people began to sort out the models and drawings of Western mast sailboats brought back from Europe, as well as the control techniques and combat methods of Western mast sailboats, turning them into naval regulations according to Yu Qiuping's requirements for future use. Another group of people were sent by Yu Qiuping as instructors and used the ships in the Kisogawa waters to teach those sailors who came from wild paths.

What Yu Qiuhei pays most attention to now is the artillery casting technique brought back by Yasukishi Ida and others - this is a product that was several times ahead of the Warring States Period in Japan! Artillery, known as Otuna during the Warring States Period in Japan, was a product that appeared in the late Warring States Period. In the previous life of Yu Qiuhei, the Otomo family on Kyushu Island, which was sunny and sunny, relied on Otuna to block the attack of the Shimazu family, which was soaring to the sky. Tokugawa Ieyasu also used Otuna to bombard the Tianshou Pavilion in the Otuna during the Winter Formation of Osaka to force the Toyotomi family to make concessions. It can be said to be a powerful weapon.

However, the brothers of Idan Kangqing did not have specific experience in casting cannons. Most of them watched Western craftsmen casting cannons in shipyards, or inquire with the cannon masters. Those fragmented and contradictory experiences and processes still require great efforts to become real cannon casting methods.

After Yu Qiuping came to the Military Industry Department, Lan Xianghua Digging immediately came up. This skilled craftsman who had been following Yu Qiuping for ten years was worried about casting cannons. On the one hand, the trial and error cost of casting cannons was too high. The cannon body was made of bronze, and it was very expensive to smelter, making abrasive tools, etc. The size of the abrasive tools, the proportion of various components when casting cannons, and the polishing of the cannons was very difficult. If you were not careful, all your efforts would be wasted. On the other hand, the Military Industry Department is now responsible for casting cannons and mass production of iron cannons, which is really too busy. So, Chang Panbei only expanded to 850 people this time, and there was no big gap in armor and ordnance.

To this end, Lanxiang Huadi has expanded its recruitment of the Military Industry Department several times, and is now a large factory with a population of up to hundreds of people - but training new employees will take a lot of effort.

Moreover, Lan Xianghuajiu also pointed out that many of the experiences brought back by Yidan Kangqing's brothers have fallacies. Even without fallacies, they learned how to cast naval guns, rather than the army field guns that Yu Qiuping needs most at the moment. There is still a difference between the two.

"You don't have to be too anxious for the moment. Just make the iron cannon first. When the quality of the iron cannon improves and the price is reduced, you can mass-produce it." Yu Qiuping found that Lan Xianghua was so tired that her white hair was coming out, and comforted her with some distress.
