Chapter 63 Intent to form an alliance
"That's good, but we need to decorate the gun body a little more and see if we can put a tiger head on the muzzle. After all, the crouching tiger cannon must look like a tiger." Yan Xu used the same old excuse to provide props to the crew.

Although this excuse is old, it is useful. What's more, there are red envelopes to be received at the end of the month, so everyone in the factory is willing to work overtime and the efficiency is high.

"In addition, this thing is only for the crew to use. There are no professionals to operate it. It is still dangerous for ordinary people to use it, so it is not sold to the public and should not be told to the public." Yan Xu said another sentence. Master Jiang nodded. He still knew the importance of it. This thing is not illegal. To put it bluntly, it is just a modified firework shell, but it is not a good thing if too many people know about it.

After getting the tiger squat cannon, in addition to the fireworks shells, Yan Xu also ordered a large number of fire bombs. The number was so large that he felt a little weak in the knees. Anyway, no one in the pig farm could make a fire or cook during those days, and the electricity was cut off.

There's no way, he's really scared.

Ma Lei Zi is famous for its deafening sound, so each one is very large. Even the common ones are the size of a can. The lethality has exceeded the range of firecrackers.

Anyway, Yan Xu played it once when he was a child and was deeply impressed. Since then, he never dared to touch it again.

He still remembered that when he was a child, he threw a lit bomb into an old-fashioned cement mixing machine. After a loud bang, the solidified cement inside was blown out and flew far away.

If this thing explodes in my hands, I won’t be able to play the Nine-Fingered Beggar and I’ll just have to play Yang Guo. So after playing with it once, I dare not touch it again.

Now he has a room full of bombs. If one explodes, no one in the pig farm would be able to breathe. He has no choice but to be careful.

After returning to the Japanese world, Yan Xu immediately stored the dangerous goods separately, and then found civilians to carry out secondary processing.

In order to distinguish ordinary fireworks from processed products, Yan Xu specially named the new product Babao Dahualun.

The rusty iron fragments were evenly fixed on top by a layer of kraft paper. Once they exploded, it would be a massive tetanus attack, which was almost a death sentence with ancient medical methods.

Although the wound may not be too big, the small pieces of rust will cause inflammation and suppuration as long as they penetrate into the human body. If the person has a high fever and convulsions all over the body, he will be dead. Even amputation will be useless because the inflammation has spread throughout the body. Once the organs begin to fail, life will enter a countdown.

Ma Leizi didn't need to go through so much trouble, but he just put on the low-quality tin cans he brought specially.

Seeing these processed products, Yan Xu couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling. He suddenly felt that in his previous life, the regulations were becoming more and more stringent, and even the ban on fireworks and firecrackers did make some sense. At least these definitely did not meet the standards for production and sales.

During the three days that Yan Xu was away, Yi Yujing had quietly moved most of the food and supplies from the two villages to Guimaruyama Castle, and had the villagers build some emergency thatched huts in the waterfall area in the name of labor service. Now they were just waiting for the Otomo family to arrive.

"There is no need to cover up now, speed up." Yan Xu said confidently to Yi Yujing who came to report on her work.

"Hey!" Although he didn't know what Lord Moroboshi's confidence came from, Yiyu Jing still listened to his advice and speeded up his actions, because according to his estimation, the Otomo family should have sent troops by now.

The order to migrate was very sudden, but because most of the villagers were system farmers, under their leadership, although the other villagers were confused, they still came to Onimaruyama Castle with their only belongings.

The steep mountains and solid city defenses gave these originally panicked villagers a sense of security. The big pot of fragrant porridge made them forget their last bit of worry. After placing their belongings in the thatched hut assigned to them, they began to get busy.

Regardless of country or region, the lower class people's wishes have always been so simple, to have food and to survive. Now they have moved into a solid mountain city and provided delicious food. No matter what happens, it means that the lord has not given up on them, and all they can do is work hard.

At this time, the news of the Otomo family's dispatch of troops had spread, and both the Shimazu family and the Sagara family sent messengers to contact the Moroboshi family, hoping to form a three-family alliance.

The person who came from the Shimazu family was the old acquaintance Nomura, but the person who came from the Sagara family surprised Yan Xu a little, because the messenger was the ridiculous Sagara Kazuo.

After a little thought, Yan Xu realized that the other party had lost his qualifications as heir and his status began to be marginalized. He even made this decision known to the inside and outside world by appointing him as an envoy.

But this has nothing to do with Yan Xu, and he has no interest in forming an alliance. Even if he agrees, the two families will each send a troop as reinforcements to tie down part of the Otomo family's forces.

The Shimazu family and the Sagara family each had their own wise counselors and advisers, and they quickly analyzed that the Otomo family's target this time was the Moroboshi family.

Theoretically, the life and death of the Moroboshi family has nothing to do with them, but once the Moroboshi family is destroyed, they can no longer expect the Otomo family to leave on their own initiative. At that time, they will be in a desperate situation with wolves in front and tigers behind.

The Otomo family would definitely not mind joining forces with the Fukushima family to divide the two families' territories, but the greedy and short-sighted Fukushima family would probably not be able to resist this temptation and would not consider that if they were gone, they would have to face the powerful enemy of the Otomo family alone.

By then, there will only be single men and women left on the entire island. Most people dare not imagine what Fukushima-hime will be like at the hands of Otomo-san.

Therefore, the Shimazu family and the Sagara family were eager to form an alliance with the Moroboshi family and were willing to send out an army for this purpose.

Yan Xu didn't care whether there would be reinforcements or not, but he found that it would be a problem for him to make all the Japanese call him daddy, even unifying the Fushima Island would be a problem because he lacked talents.

The island where Yan Xu is located is neither big nor small, but the key is that there is the overlord, the Otomo family, so talents naturally gather there. Therefore, it is very difficult for him to recruit talents. Those who are willing to come are either hungry ronin or wandering samurai who see no way out.

Unless he performs well this time, as long as he shows enough strength and potential, there will still be many people willing to take a gamble, because this is human nature. For example, the ridiculous Kazuo Sagara had the intention of joining the Moroboshi family.

Yan Xu didn't realize this, and it was Yi Yujing who reminded him afterwards that the other party had the idea of ​​betraying the Sagara family.

Nomura also saw this, but he was happy to see it happen and would not leak the news, and would even pretend to turn a blind eye.

As for Kazuo Sagara, he probably let himself be discovered on purpose, because being sent as a messenger was an insult to his original identity, so he wanted to take revenge.

If he wants to take revenge, he must rely on external forces since all his power comes from the Sagara family.

For this reason, Kazuo Sagara did not hesitate to expose his idea of ​​betraying the Sagara family. This was a very dangerous move. Once the news was reported back to the Sagara family, his best outcome would be house arrest, and the most likely outcome would be news of his death by drowning.
