Chapter 45: Acting Separately

Soon after, dozens of retainers such as Shibata Katsuie, Hayashi Tongkatsu, Niwa Nagahide, and Sakuma Nobumori had arrived one after another, and they had long been accustomed to seeing them at any time like this.

After everyone sat down, the clan sect told his idea again, which immediately caused a burst of discussion among the retainers. The idea of mobilizing peasants and soldiers for war has been deeply imprinted in their minds. Therefore, they expressed strong opposition to the system of separating soldiers and peasants proposed by the clan.

In the assessment room, except for Nobunaga, who did not speak, Shibata Katsuie, the first fierce general in the family, also unexpectedly remained silent, which somewhat surprised the other retainers. In their opinion, Shibata Katsuya is definitely a conservative in his family, and in normal times, if the system of the Oda family changes slightly, he is definitely the first to stand up and speak out, and he can actually hold back and not speak this time? The retainers were a little unconvinced.

Shibata Katsuya is also very conflicted in his heart now, the Takayama clan is the person he fancies, and he should speak out, but the system of mobilizing peasants and soldiers has started hundreds of years ago, and no one has overthrown it until now, which means that this system is perfect, since it is a perfect system, why should it be overthrown? Besides, if there is a loss of sixty percent of the army on the battlefield, can you still win the war, more people is the last word. Senbei, you're too young, and you still need to hone and hone.

Thinking of this, Shibata Katsuya finally spoke under the gaze of his retainers: "My lord, my subordinates think that the Oda family is not suitable for separating soldiers and peasants, and fighting a war depends on who has the most people, how can there be a reason to reduce the strength of the army?" ”

Seeing that Shibata Katsuya didn't speak just now, the clan was secretly happy, as long as he didn't follow him to make trouble, the matter of separating soldiers and peasants would be a little more certain, and other retainers and clans could not care, but Shibata Katsuya had to let him cheer up. He knew that Nobunaga's favor for the Shibata Katsuya was not comparable to that of an outsider. In order for Nobunaga to finally implement the separation of soldiers and peasants, it seems that it is impossible to convince Shibata Katsuya first.

Just as the clan was thinking about how to convince Shibata Katsuie, everyone present ignored that there was another person who did not speak, and he was sitting at the back of the assessment room, and this person was Kinoshita Toyoshiro. He agreed very much with the proposal of the clan sect, but he did not speak immediately, firstly, because he thought that his identity was not insignificant, and secondly, if he supported the separation of soldiers and peasants, he would inevitably be resented by all the retainers.

Kinoshita Tojiro finally made up his mind after suffering from gains and losses for a while, and since the lord can gather the retainers for this matter, it means that the lord has now approved this system, as long as the lord supports it, even if these retainers are dissatisfied with themselves, what is there to fear. Besides, isn't there still Takayama-sama in front of you?

I saw Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro's face flushed, and because he was sitting back for fear that the lord would not see it, he hurriedly stepped forward and said loudly in his hoarse voice: "My lord, my subordinates agree with Lord Takayama's proposal." ”

Nobunaga was overjoyed when he saw that there was finally someone who supported the separation of soldiers and peasants, and when he saw that the person who spoke was a monkey who had been following him for many years, he couldn't help but glance at him and said with a smile, "Monkey, tell me what you think." ”

Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro saw that the lord actually smiled at himself, and said flatteredly: "Back to the lord, the subordinates don't know the way of the big truth, but the subordinates remembered the battle between the barrels and the narrows. At that time, the lord used 3,000 flags to beat the Imagawa army, looking for teeth all over the ground, doesn't this just show that the peasant soldiers are useless, the flags can be used as ten, if as Takayama said, in changing them with good weapons, and strict training, 5000 flags are enough to defeat 20,000 head-on, oh, no, the subordinates are talking about 30,000 troops. And under the wise leadership of the lord, the territory of the Oda family will also expand, and there will be more and more flags, and at that time, looking at the world, who else will be the opponent of the lord? ”

Although Kinoshita Toyoshiro had vulgar language, as soon as he said this, the other retainers really couldn't think of how to refute it. But although they couldn't refute it, they still didn't want to.

Shibata Katsuya scolded: "Hmph, vulgar! ”

Nobunaga didn't care about this, and suddenly Da Lu laughed and said, "Ha Luha, although the monkey speaks rudely, there is some truth in it. What else do you have to say? With that, Nobunaga's piercing gaze swept over the retainers, and when he saw that no one was speaking out against him, he was in a good mood. ,

I saw Nobunaga's face change suddenly, and he said solemnly: "Senbei, monkey, the separation of soldiers and peasants will be handled by the two of you, I will give you a year, and I will see the results in a year, so retreat!" After saying that, Nobunaga didn't give his retainers a chance to advise at all, and got up and walked quickly into the inner room.

Seeing that there was no room for maneuver in this matter, the retainers sighed lightly and left the assessment room one after another. After a while, there were only clans left in the entire assessment room, and there was Kinoshita Toyoshiro who was staring blankly at the main throne.

Kinoshita Toyoshiro was only a low-ranking samurai in his family, and if he wasn't the only one in his family who supported him, it was said that such an important task as the separation of soldiers and peasants would never have fallen on his head, and it was no wonder that he would be stunned.

Zong felt that his expression was funny, and slowly walked to his side, and said loudly: "Kinoshita-sama, you are fine, right?" ”

Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro was taken aback by such a loud voice, and immediately relieved himself, and hurriedly said: "Lord Takayama, I lost my temper just now, this time the separation of soldiers and peasants, I will definitely cooperate with you to complete this work, please assign a task to you." ”

Kinoshita Toyoshiro is very accurate about his own positioning, although Nobunaga said that he would let the two of them be jointly responsible for this matter, but he knew that it was only because of his support just now that Nobunaga would send him over to fight, if he didn't have the right attitude, then there would be trouble, Takayama Lord is the lord's most favored retainer, if he is offended, then there will be absolutely no good fruit to eat in the future.

The clan didn't know what Kinoshita Toyoshiro was thinking, so he said to himself: "Kinoshita-sama, I think that the soldiers and farmers should be separated and divided into two parts, one is the purchase of equipment, and the other is the recruitment and training of the light, you and I are responsible for one piece, how do you feel?" ”

Kinoshita Tojiro shook his head and didn't speak, thinking to himself, just knowing that the road would be like this, and he didn't need to ask to know that the time-consuming and laborious errand of buying equipment without much credit would definitely fall on his head. He smiled reluctantly and said, "Since Lord Takayama has decided that he has no opinion in Zaixia, then the work of purchasing equipment will be completed in Zaixia." After speaking, Kinoshita Tojiro was in a somewhat depressed mood.

The clan clan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, Kinoshita-sama, I think it's better for you to be in charge of recruiting and training Ashigaru." Let's leave the purchase of equipment to the next step. ”

Kinoshita Tojiro said in surprise: "High... Takayama-sama, this... That's not quite right. ”

The clan was funny in his heart, what's wrong with this, Lao Tzu can't hide if he wants to, since you are willing to stand up, then Lao Tzu doesn't mind being lazy.
