Chapter 119 The first shot
Tokugawa Ieyasu took his retainers away, and the gold, silver and copper coins on the ground were not too late to put them away, Ikeda Hiroki arrived, 'Big Boss, let's share the dividends.'
‘What is the point? This is the payment for my sales.’ I stretched out a blanket to cover the gold and silver, breaking Ikeda Hiroki's gaze.
‘Tsk, I’m so stingy. I introduced this business to you. I originally wanted to introduce it to you again? Since that’s the case, let’s forget it.’
My eyes rolled and my mind was in my mind, "Did you bring Tokugawa Ieyasu?"
‘Yesterday I took the Iron Cannon Team to his place to show. They asked me where I bought it, and I said it was yours.’
‘Let’s do this, don’t pay me back the thirty iron cannons you took. Be generous.’
Yoshihide Ikeda gritted his teeth and said, "I've never fought it. If you don't go to Ou Zhang to inquire, I Ikeda Yoshikyo is a famous iron rooster. Let's do this, my iron cannon team is only thirty iron cannons and there are 100 people. I'll take you thirty iron cannons and sell the rest."
I exclaimed, ‘Thirty more? Why don’t you grab it?’
‘You think I don’t want to. Let’s do this, I’ll treat you to Kabukicho Street next time I go to drink wine.’
‘How much money did it cost?’ If you don’t care much, you can live there for half a month at the price of an iron cannon.
Yoshihiro Ikeda grabbed his hair, gritted his teeth, and stomped his feet, 'Add ten more virgins. Now it's OK.'
My eyes lit up, ‘Are you beautiful?’
‘Not satisfied with free return and exchange.’ Ikeda Hengxing has already made up the idea of trafficking in humans. In the year of the disaster, more families went bankrupt, displaced refugees were everywhere, and the phenomenon of selling children and daughters suddenly increased. But these are not Ikeda Hengxing's goals. Ikeda Hengxing knows that I am not interested in refugees who have been hungry for several months. The best-sized virgins are not of size, and once they appear in the human market, they will be picked up by brothels waiting in the human market to conduct training for geisha. Ikeda Hengxing's goal is to train these quasi-geisha who have not officially gone to sea to pick up customers. The price of redeeming these quasi-geisha is often the most expensive, but Ikeda Hengxing has his own solution. The plan is to lead a team of iron cannons to surround the brothels first, and it is not up to you to decide how much to redeem yourself under the iron guns in the black hole.
‘Okay. I will suffer a little. This is because I have made concessions due to our years of friendship.’
The remaining 100 iron cannons were not too much, but they were not too little. Fortunately, Ikeda Yoshihiro was wild enough to get along with Oda family's keepers of Mino Ohashi, and three others, Takigawa Ichii and Mino, the Lin family, the Sakuma family, and even the deputy general of this operation, Ninoha Nagahide, who was stationed in Ishiyama Town, heard the news and sent his retainers to come and bought twenty second-hand iron cannons of high quality and low price. For a time, "How many iron cannons are there?" replaced "Wu Wuyun for a long time" and became the latest greetings of Oda's keepers.
Later I learned that after Ishiyama Honanji Castle was besieged, the temples of Yixiangsun took out gold, silver and treasures donated by believers to buy weapons in Jiecho, arming the monk soldiers and believers of Yixiangsun. In this environment, the price of Kinki iron cannons is strongly rising, and my second-hand iron cannons are really cheap.
The iron cannon symbolizing wealth, power and fame has been used by both sides in battle in 21 years since the Portuguese introduced it to Seed Island in 1565. Both sides of the war were Oda Nobunagae, the overlord of Kinki, and the Honanji family, who started his business with Isaacs. My clerk wrote such a note in his notes.
‘Your Highness Ninoha is really a bodhisattva’. Looking at Ninoha Nagahide who was in charge of order under the command of the porridge shed outside Ishiyama Town, Ikeda Hirokkai and I took the opportunity to give it a little favor.
As the commercial center of Japan's island second only to Jeecho, Ishiyama Town has been engaged in smuggling trade from the Ming Dynasty, North Korea and South Asia. Like Jeecho, there are countless coolies waiting for business at the wharf every day. Now the year is not good, and more and more refugees are waiting for opportunities here. In order to prevent these refugees from being used by the King of Monaster, Oda Nobunaga listened to Ninoha Nagahide's plan and asked Ishiyama's merchants to donate some rice and grain to open a porridge shed to provide relief to the victims.
‘No, I am borrowing flowers to offer Buddha. Why did you two come to Ishiyama Town?’
Yoshihiko Ikeda rushed to say, "There is no war on the front line, we are sending iron to His Highness Ninoha."
I nodded, "The road is not clean, and there are always some villains waiting for an opportunity to rob His Highness Nishiyu. Since I have collected the money, I have to ensure that it can safely reach His Highness's hands."
‘Papa.’ I clapped my hands and pulled the banner behind it to cover the linen of a Niu car. ‘Thirty iron cannons, although not new, have been repaired and maintained, and there is no problem in use.’
Nishi Nagashu picked up an iron cannon, which was covered with gun oil and shining in the sun. The layman couldn't tell the difference between the old and the new. "Yeah, it's not bad. But I only bought twenty ones."
‘Ah, it was not enough for Lord Nishiyu to need twenty iron cannons, but there were seventeen damaged iron cannons in the warehouse, which could be used after repair. I think the performance of these iron cannons is definitely not as good as those sold to others some time ago, so I poured out the warehouse to Lord Nishiyu.’
‘Oh, that’s the case. You must not suffer any losses. I can’t afford thirty pieces.’
‘Sir, I’m serious, I’ve all seized it. What’s the point of selling it? I’ll earn one cent.’ No matter how much I say it, Niba Nagashui is also my old boss, so I still have to have this discount.
Ninoha Nagahide smiled and said, "That's good, that's good. Today, I'll be the host and invite two of you to go to Kabukicho in Ishiyama Town to have flower wine."
‘You want to go west.’ Ikeda Hokage and I looked at each other.
My wish to drink flower wine from Hiroki Ikeda was still gone. Ninoha Nagahide was slightly disturbed by a bloody foot, 'Your Highness, when we were urging us to pay the annual offer in Nagata Village, we were resisted by the untouchables.'
Nishi Nagahiko was furious, "Baga, what are the swords in your hands for? They were defeated by the rural villagers."
‘There were several iron cannons in that village, and we had two brothers before we rushed up.’
Nishi Nagashu kicked this foot with one kick, ‘Nothing is it, where can I afford an iron cannon in a small village?’
Hiroki Ikeda interjected from the side and said, "Mr. Nianga, this may be one of the secret strongholds of the Honanji family. Just go over and take a look."
'What you said makes sense. But today I can't invite two of you to drink wine, so I will make up for it later.'
I said, 'Mr. Danwu is now out of sight, and Kabukicho Street cannot escape. I have some research on iron cannons, so why not take a look at the military power of the great man together.'
‘Okay.’ After saying that, Ninoha Nagashui turned around and asked the Football who had just reported the message, ‘How many iron cannons are there in the village and are there bald heads?’
‘There should be more than five iron cannons when listening to the sound, and the bald head was not paid attention to it.’
‘A bunch of wastes.’ After cursing, Ninoha Nagashui gave him another kick, turned to me and Ikeda and said, ‘The discipline was not strict, which made the two high men laugh. This time, we happened to have thirty iron cannons, so we came to use Nagata Village to test the power.’
The two feet were lucky enough to avoid the punishment of apologizing for septum, and his gratitude for Ninoha Nagahide was deeper.
