The clan thanked for the reward and stood behind Nobunaga like the other retainers, but instead of watching the 5,000 flags as intently as everyone else, he began to think about the matter of knowing and doing.

Although he had just been awarded 200 Shi Zhixing, the clan was not very satisfied with this, 200 Shi was enough for anything, that is, he could recruit ten more bannermen. For himself, it is simply dispensable and useless. If you continue to develop at this rate, when will you be able to rule a country? This Kinoshita Tojiro doesn't seem to be just lucky, he still has some ability, otherwise he wouldn't have completed the separation of soldiers and farmers in three months, and he also trained them well.

The clan clan glanced at the flag book that was being trained, and suddenly an inspiration came, and he thought in his heart that since the separation of soldiers and peasants had begun to be implemented, the sword hunting order should also begin.

The clan clan glanced at Shibata Katsuya again, and said in his heart, Shibata-sama, in order to promote the clan sect, I have to borrow your sword hunting order to use it, anyway, we are also a family, so I won't be polite to you. If you can't get along in the future, you don't have to worry about the pension. It's just an extra pair of chopsticks, and the clan can afford it.

Thinking of this, the clan took two steps forward, came to Oda Nobunaga again, saluted and said, "My lord, my subordinates have something to report. ”

"Say."

"My lord, the separation of soldiers and peasants that my family has implemented now is actually only half of what my subordinates envisioned, and the other half is a sword hunting order."

Nobunaga was immediately attracted by the clan's words, and his gaze no longer looked at the flag, but at the clan's taste: "What is the sword hunting order?" ”

"Lord, this knife hunting order is to confiscate the weapons in the hands of the peasants, now that the army is all flags, the weapons in the hands of the peasants are useless, if they are all confiscated, even if there is an outbreak in the future, then what can these unarmed peasants do? Please also ask the Lord to be wise. ”

Nobunaga listened to this with relish, if he could really implement the sword hunting order in the territory under his rule, it would indeed be as the clan said, it could greatly reduce the combat power that had always been one, but this involved another problem, now in the territory of Owari, only the territory under his own rule has implemented the separation of soldiers and peasants, and other retainers or wealthy clans, except for the Takayama clan, have not implemented it, so they can't carry out sword hunting.

Nobunaga thought about it carefully, and said that this matter was beneficial to the family, and now that the advantages of separating soldiers and peasants had been highlighted, it was necessary to implement it throughout the entire territory of Owari. Thinking of this, he immediately ordered Hasegawa Shuichi to summon his retainers, the wealthy clan, to the castle tower and prepare to announce the matter.

In the assessment room of the castle tower of Kiyosu Castle, after Nobunaga left the training center in a hurry, he came here directly, and at this moment the assessment room was already full of samurai, even when the annual meeting was held at home every year, there were not as many people as there are now.

After Nobunaga's gaze swept over everyone one by one, he said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the separation of soldiers and peasants has been quite effective so far, so I have decided that from today onwards, this system will be implemented in the entire territory of Owari, with a minimum of 5 ashigaru per 100 koku. With that, Nobunaga stared at the crowd to see who dared to oppose his decision.

The samurai of the Oda clan had realized three months ago that sooner or later there would be such a day, so at this moment, it really came out of the mouth of the lord, and everyone was not too surprised. Moreover, during these three months, the retainers also saw that the combat power of the main banner was indeed strong, so not only did they not resist, but they had already begun to implement the system of separating soldiers and peasants in private.

Of course, they couldn't have the same financial resources as the lord or the Gaoshan clan, so they only slightly improved the equipment of the banner under their command, but in this way, it was also a big increase in the original combat power.

Seeing that there was no objection, Nobunaga was very satisfied with this, and then said: "Well, since there is no longer a need to mobilize peasants in the future, they will no longer need weapons, and now I announce that the Oda family has officially issued a sword hunting order, and all the lords must surrender their iron weapons within a week, and if they have any private possession, they will not be forgiven." ”

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates obey orders." The warriors hurriedly saluted and said.

"Senbei,!"

The clan moved two steps outward and replied, "The subordinates are here!" ”

"Within the territory directly under the jurisdiction of the Oda family, you are responsible for carrying out the sword hunting order."

After the evaluation meeting, the clan came to the office, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw that Murai Sadakatsu was writing hard at the moment, writing the details of the sword hunting order. The clan was also inconvenient to disturb, so he had to sit down on the side, he had the heart to go over to help, but when he thought of his calligraphy, in addition to his own understanding, others had no possibility of understanding, so he sat and waited with peace of mind. ,

After a long time, just when the clan was about to fall asleep in a daze, Murai Sadakatsu pushed him, wiped the sweat on his forehead and jokingly said: "Lord Takayama, you are considered to be obedient in the next, every time you give the lord an idea, you will be tired and half dead in the next." ”

"Ha Luha, Lord Murai has worked hard, how can I not know it, so let's do it, this month's sparrow house Murai Lord's consumption is all calculated according to the silver card discount, so it's all right."

"Hehe, so I'll thank you Takayama first." Murai Sadakatsu said with a smile, what he was waiting for was the words of the clan, and when he thought of the beautiful friend in the sparrow house. The tiredness just now has been left behind by him.

After getting this thick pile of sword hunting orders, the clan returned directly to the samurai mansion, such a trivial matter as going to the villages to post the sword hunting order, he didn't need to run in person, just give it to his subordinates and let them post it.

However, after all, this was working under Nobunaga's nose, and the clan did not dare to make too much of it, so he only stayed at home for two days and began to wander around the village, checking the collection of weapons.

A week later, this is also the last day that the villagers have voluntarily surrendered their weapons, and if they do not pay within today, they will be found to be in possession of weapons, and they will only be killed, as Nobunaga said.

That night, the retainers under the command of the clan gathered in the samurai mansion to report, but the result was very dissatisfied, and the seven days plus the weapons he collected himself, there were less than a hundred pieces in total, if this number was reported to Nobunaga, let alone rewarded, and he could already thank heaven and earth without being scolded.

The clan was anxious, Owari was a country, a rich land, in this Warring States, it was also a place with a large population, and it was absolutely impossible to have only such a few weapons. Could it be that the villagers have hidden it? The clan shook his head, it shouldn't be, they definitely don't have the guts to do this. So what's going on? Something must have been missed.

Seeing that the lord frowned and was silent, the retainers could also guess the lord's thoughts, only to see Maeda Toshiya step forward and say: "Lord, the subordinates think that most of the weapons are concentrated in the hands of the bandits, and the weapons that are really in the hands of the villagers are rare. ”

That's right, why didn't I even think of this, when the peasants and soldiers were fighting, they basically used bamboo guns, and the bandits were nothing in the eyes of the clan, so they could do it now, and they couldn't make any big waves. In this way, we can also test the combat power of the flag incarnatus.

Thinking of this, I only heard the clan say: "Maeda Toshiya listens to orders." ”

Maeda Toshiya immediately said respectfully: "The subordinates are here." ”

"Order you and Yamauchi to lead the family flag Ben Ashigaru to clear the bandits, and anyone who resists will be killed."

"Yes, my subordinates will prepare."
