"gunboat?"

In Kyoto, Oda Nobunaga dissolved the troops of the countries gathered to deal with the possible expansion of the war caused by the Battle of Osaka Bay. They were stranded in the Imperial House for several days to listen to the situation in the world.

At Kinkakuji, he listened to the information about his retainer Takigawa Ichie's battle against the Osaka Bay.

Nobunaga did not participate in the battle personally. Although he assembled a large army, the war was quickly won by the Takigawa Legion before his various armies assembled to Osaka Bay.

"It's a gunboat. This is how the Ming people call Chen Mujun warships. Their warships are huge and equipped with large tubes named General Zhenshuo. They no longer rely on iron cannon bows and arrows to win. The little dawn ship is vulnerable." Takigawa Ichii raised his head with a serious expression and said, "I am incompetent, and I won the land battle but lost Osaka Bay. The rumors of this battle are untrue, and the Oda family failed."

The first news that Oda Nobunaga heard was that his army won the victory in Osaka Bay and drove out the enemy. Now it seems that it was just a lie released by Takigawa Ichie to calm the people of the country. At this time, he held the battle report with a shallow scar in his hand clearly stated that until the Ming army retreated, there was no warship belonging to the Oda family.

Before retreating, the Akibok hidden in Awaji Guo Gulf docked at the Sukiyoshi Port adjacent to Ishiyama Honanji Temple, where he unloaded a huge amount of food and grass, and took away a large amount of goods from Ishiyama Honanji Temple.

This was a transaction, and this transaction lasted for a whole night in the Gyeonggi area controlled by the Oda clan. It was not until dawn the next day that the Ming Dynasty Navy landed on the ship and drove away the ship that was docked on the shore, and burned the ship that could not be driven away. After the large ship carrying the cargo left, more than a dozen gunboats left the bay with a striking power surrounded by hundreds of ships.

"A great shame and humiliation!"

Takigawa Ichii clasped his fist on his knee tightly and gritted his teeth and said, "They obviously lost the battle!"

This is a battle that both sides think they have lost. The Oda navy was crushed to the inland river by a large number of enemy ships, while the Japanese pirates of Takatoshi's army were defeated by the Takigawa Legion on land.

Takigawa Ichie failed to block the port, and Takatoshio's troops failed to plunder the Gyeonggi.

But they all fulfilled their mission to a certain extent, Takigawa Ichie defended Gyeonggi, while Takatoshi-oong sent supplies to the Honanji where food was cut off.

"During the war, Honanji did not send troops. What did the monk think? How big is the gunboat in Ming Dynasty?"

Oda Nobunaga did not kneel. He was higher than most Japanese in this era. At this time, he was sitting on the backrest chair presented by the missionaries of Nanman Temple, and was half a body taller than the other person who was kneeling. His body was not strong, but his skin was very white.

The cabinet next to the seat is decorated with Komatsushima teapot from the Pharmacist Hospital and the Orange Flower Flowers from Yuya. These are all precious objects that are famous all over the world. At this time, the owner of the object was frowning slightly, with his slender eyebrows and half-open eyes making up for the expression of thinking.

While thinking, he would unconsciously pinch the shallow scars on his palm.

It was the scar left when the red-hot iron block was held. It had been many years and still had no intention of eliminating it. I am afraid that he would carry this mark all his life.

This scar originated in a lawsuit. During a civil lawsuit in Japan, there was a ceremony called "fire request". When people were arguing, the public burned a soldering iron red. The parties to the lawsuit grabbed the soldering irons that burned red and proved their innocence by enduring the pain.

At that time, the defendant was the official of Nobunaga's brother Hirohiko Ikeda, who meant his subordinates. He broke into the house of the sued man Shin Bingwei at night to steal property. Shin Bingwei went to the city to pay tribute. His wife used a scabbard to welcome the enemy at home and defeated the defendant. After Shin Bingwei came back, he filed a lawsuit.

Shi Bingwei held the soldering iron, and the defendant released the soldering iron, and the fire was justified, but the ruling was stopped by Nobunaga's brothers.

Nobunaga discovered this and said that if he could hold the soldering iron, he would convict the defendant, and the scar on his palm was left at that time.

"Twenty rooms, five of the twelve large ships are longer than twenty rooms, and seven are shorter than twenty rooms. They all have General Shinshuo, and their voices are like thunder in the sky, which can usually hit shells outside Gocho." Takigawa Ichiyi said with his face becoming more serious, saying, "When they retreat, a farmer picked up an iron cannonball half a mile away from the coast."

The rooms, towns and villages are all Japanese units of length, one room is 1.6 meters, one town is 60 rooms, and one mile is nearly 4,000 meters.

Nobunaga's eyes widened, his mouth was slightly opened under his sparse beard, and then he slowly gritted his teeth and swallowed his saliva, frowned and asked, "How powerful is General Zhenshuo so far?"

Good question! Even if you ask Chen Mu this question, Chen Mu would not dare to say that his cannon could send shells four miles away!

"It is extremely powerful. When the monks escorted food and grass back to the city, our army's Magno team and the Zhenguo team launched an attack on the port. With only three or five guns, the army's formation would be dispersed. Each shell would rush around in the formation. Our army's large tube could only destroy the sails of the ship."

Nobunaga did not say anything, slowly leaned his head back and leaned against the backrest, sighing long, "It's true that it's Ming Dynasty again, an ancient, traditional, powerful and conservative Ming Dynasty."

In the extremely intelligent Nobunaga's mind, there was already a vague map of the situation in East Asia. He once believed that the Ming Dynasty was old and weak, and that the will of the world was fulfilled. Japan, which dominated the world with force, would have the ability to form a huge fleet to attack the world.

Now it seems that the Ming people felt the crisis because of the arrival of the Southern Barbarians?

Nobunaga suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with the war: "Can merchants from Kyoto, Sakaimachi, and Nanman merchants still sell Nanman iron cannons?"

Feng Xing shook his head slowly and was about to say something, Nobunaga had already stood up and walked out of the side hall of the temple.

Hashiba Hideyoshi, who was standing in the temple courtyard, saw Nobunaga walking out quickly, and hurriedly fell down, secretly aiming at Nobunaga, who was like a god in his heart, every move. When he saw Nobunaga, he seemed a little unhappy, pressed his forehead to the ground and asked in a low voice: "The lord seems unhappy! There are monkeys who can only dance waiting here!"

Nobunaga ignored it and walked into the yard and sucked in the air with his nose motionlessly. Then he felt the pressure in his heart slowly dissipated. He turned to Hideyoshi who was still bowing to the ground and said, "You are already a general, and you don't need to use these tricks to fool yourself anymore - but monkey, do you know overseas?"

Hanshi Hideyoshi raised her head, her beard that was so sparse that it was not visible to fit on the face of not outstanding. In addition, she was short and looked like a jester. In fact, this guy who still thought he was just a farmer was already a hot general of the Oda clan. He asked blankly: "Overseas, is the lord saying-Kyushu?"

Nobunaga burst into laughter and said, "It's not Kyushu, it's overseas. What's there to do overseas!"

"Just, it's the sea, opposite? There is a small Kyushu, a small North Korea, a small Ming Kingdom, a small Indian country, and a small hometown of the Southern Barbarians." Hideyoshi was stuttering a little when asked by Nobunaga, licking his dry lips and hesitating: "Does the lord's unification of the world start from Kyushu and unification of the world?"

"Hahaha!"

Oda Nobunaga raised his head and laughed loudly. A loud voice came from a distance through the temple wall. He swept away his depression and pointed at Hideyoshi who was worshipping him and said, "You are such an interesting monkey, go and prepare. You go to Sezu to build a castle and let Niba Nagahide build a castle in Omi. We must beware of the attack from the sea from the little Ming Kingdom!"

"There will definitely be a way to defeat them!"
