At first I doubt if here Ningbo is the city in Zhengjiang province, China. After checking the map, I make sure that Ningbo refers to a place of China. (Please correct me if I am wrong.) I am intrigued to learn the history about Oda Nobunaga with great passion by this blog. Yeah, the data shows that he built his army and conquered his opponents by taking advantage of the European gun. However, very miserably he was killed by one of his subordinates who betrayed him. I've only learned about Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the school who once invaded Ming dynasty. I'm so happy now I have known all the details about this period of history. It turns out that Hideyoshi was also one of his subordinates. Without Oda Nobunaga's favor and promotion, it is impossible for Hideyoshi--a person from a low and poor farmer family to enter the high society. Thank you for your great blog!

Many times history can be changed completely by a very occasional and accidental thing, so can our own life! I never thought that the European gun first came into Japan in such a weird way.
