Chapter 52: Reward
"This time in the strategy of Nanxian North County, you have worked hard and made great achievements, and the following will announce the reward for you. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Soharu Tsugawa said with a smile.
Hearing Tsugawa Soji say this, everyone in the hall had a beaming expression.
"Shinbei"
"Hi"
"Mabei has been training his family's ashigaru, and he has worked hard. In addition, the Kuroda family has always been a genealogy retainer of the family, so he appointed the Kuroda family as the genealogy of the family, and gave Iwatani Castle Zhiyuki 600 stones. I continue to be in charge of my family's ashigaru training. Soji Tsugawa said with a smile.
"Thank you, my lord!" Kuroda Iekane said excitedly. 600 stone of knowledge and action, not less.
Soji Tsugawa continued: "Lord Yoshikawa Hiroke captured Ryohei Castle, defeated the Ryohei family, and gave Ryohei Castle 400 stones. Re-train a team of Taidao Ashigaru, the number of people is tentatively set at 100 people! ”
"Hey! Thank you, Lord! Yoshikawa Hiroke said excitedly.
"Saigo Kiki was relieved of his post as agricultural commissioner, and Saigo Kizo took over. In addition, 300 stones were given to Saigo Kichangjiao Mountain Castle Zhixing, who was responsible for the resettlement of the displaced people and the subsequent land reclamation work! ”
"Hey! Thank you, Lord! ”
"Grant Mizutani Kuji 300 stone to Zhixing in the mountain castle. In addition, although the head of the Osawa family, Osawa Kochi, has already served in advance, but still young, the position of Osawa Castle Castle is still held by Mizutani Hisaharu, and it will be disposed of after Osawa Kochi becomes an adult! ”
"Hey! Thank you, Your Highness! ”
"Gave Takahashi Xingguo Takahashi Castle Zhixing 200 stones, and Komura Yoshikage was promoted to serve as a general, and he was the generation of Dongxiang Chengcheng. The two of you are in charge of the demolition of Shimonoyama Matsumoto Castle and other castles! ”
"Huh" Yoshikage Komura and Kokooki Takahashi led the way.
"Give Nagano Masadahei the old leader Nagano Castle Chiyuki 200 stones,"
"Your Highness"
"Nagano Masabo and Takahashi Koke are the flags of the family, and the flags of His Royal Highness are ashigaru."
"Hi," Nagano Masabo and Takahashi Koke replied.
"Where's Yoshisuke Togo?" Soji Tsugawa then called out to Yoshisuke Togo on the side.
"Your Majesty is here" Togo Yoshisuke saw Tsugawa Soji calling himself, and hurriedly replied.
"The family's strength is growing, and it has to gradually develop diplomatic contacts with the surrounding forces. Appointed Togo Yoshiyu as the foreign affairs officer of the family, and another member of the family! However, the next wedding between His Royal Highness and Yukihime needs you to prepare, and if you need anything, go to Saigo Kizo, and he will fully cooperate with you," Tsugawa Soji said with a smile.
"Hey! The subordinates will not insult the glory of the Tsugawa family! Togo Yoshiyu said excitedly.
Soji Tsugawa nodded, and said to Naogo Miki, who was sitting at the back, "Naogo Miki, how is the injury?" ”
"Thank you Your Highness for your concern, the injury is almost healed!" Miki Naogo leaned down and said.
"Good! In the first battle of Ryohei Castle, although you faced the fierce attack of Ryohei Yoshiki, you fought to the death and resisted Ryohei Yoshiki's attack, and you were seriously injured, Your Highness was very moved. Soji Tsugawa said with a smile.
Then, Soji Tsugawa turned his head and said loudly, "Promoted to Miki Naogo as the general of the family, and served as the representative of the Rokugo Castle!" Another member of the family! ”
"Hey, thank you, Your Highness! Miki Naogo will definitely meet the Tsugawa family and die! Miki Naogo said excitedly. As a civilian, he was able to reach such a height today, which can be said to have burned high incense.
"Chongdo Junguang, said that the six towns and cities were degraded, and the contribution was indispensable. Appointed as the general of the family, he gave the old leader Takane Castle Zhixing 200 stones. Assist Miki Naogo to pacify the people. In addition, the matter of collecting displaced people and reclaiming land near Hongtang Township and Liuxiang City will also be handled by the two of you! ”
"Huh," Naogo Miki and Junmitsu Shigedo replied.
Soji Tsugawa looked at the map in front of him. Although the retainers under his command have been appointed to walk around the country, there are still a large number of places where the retainers cannot be appointed, and now the strength of the Tsugawa family is not strong, and the retainers under his command are barely enough. But in the future, if there is more land, it will be stretched. It seems that the use and discovery of talents cannot be left behind.
So, Tsugawa Soji went on to say, "The retainers of this family are insufficient, and if there is a talent with a skill in the future, they can be recommended to His Highness, and His Highness will use his talents!" If you have discovered a talent, you can also recommend it to Your Highness! ”
"Hi," the people in the temple replied.
"In the next few years, the family will develop with peace of mind and will not send troops to fight again," said Soharu Tsugawa.
"Well, what the lord said is very true. The family has added so many new territories, and it is precisely when it needs to develop steadily, and it can continue to send troops to fight after the territory is stable. Togo Yoshiyu nodded and said.
"In addition, the family cannot rely on the militia alone in future operations. The family is to build a standing army that is always well equipped and well-trained to prepare for the battles they will face in the future," said Soharu Tsugawa.
The Tsugawa family's Ashigaru, although they had also trained for a while before, was only the Ashigaru near Tsugawa Castle and the Taiken Castle Taidao team. However, with the total annihilation of the Taiken Brigade at Nagano Castle, the more than 200 standing ashigaru in Tsugawa Castle alone could no longer meet the defense of the Tsugawa family's vast territory.
"The family's ashigaru training must be put on the agenda, and in the future, in the family's territory, all families with more than 2 young and strong men must send one person to join the nearest city as a standing ashigaru training. The rations during the training period are provided by the family, and if there are men who become the farmers who have a regular allowance for the family, the agricultural tax will be reduced by half! ”
"In other families with less than two people, the male is also required to join the ashigaru training after the completion of the farming work, and even as a farmer, he must be trained strictly. Although the main force of future combat is standing ashigaru, the peasants and soldiers must also form combat strength and cannot be taken lightly! Soji Tsugawa said with a solemn expression. This measure must be strictly implemented by your lordships and under your own rule."
"Hi"
During the Warring States period, most of the wealthy families or daimyo in the territory of the peasants and soldiers in the territory were not systematically trained. They usually only train for a few days a month, and they bring their own rations. Even when he was recruited by the lord during the war, he had to prepare his own rice balls and other food. And most of the equipment during the battle was prepared by themselves. One can imagine how such a peasant soldier could fight in combat. Tsugawa Soji didn't want to do this, although this would reduce expenses, but the low combat effectiveness of the peasants and soldiers was unbearable for Tsugawa Soji.
Even though the Tsugawa family now has about half of the territory of Senhoku County, it can be regarded as one of the most powerful and powerful in the surrounding area. However, we should not take it lightly, and let the peasants and soldiers under our command form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, which is the right way. Saving grain and making it easier for the peasants and soldiers to fight hard is not worth the loss at present.
The forces of the Tsugawa family, such as the Tozawa family and the Onodera family, have already seen the fighting power of the Ashigaru under his command, Tsugawa Soji. The mobilization of peasants alone was no longer sufficient to cope with the possible future wars. It wasn't the time when Soji Tsugawa had just crossed over, and the enemy Yamada family at that time was only a peasant soldier of about 100 people. In the future, what we will face will be a battle with a powerful tycoon or daimyo who can dispatch thousands of troops, and then fight with the previous military situation, which is no different from sending them to death.
Soji Tsugawa nodded and continued, "This is the end of this assessment, do you still have any questions?" ”
After a long time, seeing that everyone had no doubts, Tsugawa Soji got up and waved his hand, and strode out of the hall. The things outside are busy, and there are still two girls at home waiting for them to "pamper".
