Chapter 360: Buying People's Hearts (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Recommended)
Seeing that the retainers were reluctant to accept the thousand sets of armor, he felt very relieved that he and the retainers thought differently, perhaps because he had no long-term plans, and now he only thought that using these armors could not only arm those Ashigaru who were stronger than the peasant soldiers, so that his family could have a greater chance of survival, but also thought that he could use these things to improve the loyalty of his retainers.
The Oda army is not terrible, the most terrible thing is that in the subsequent battle of Ridge City, someone secretly took refuge in the Oda family, and the northern family collapsed from the inside, if so, then even regret it is not in a hurry, as for what to do in the future, it is better to wait until the Oda army retreats.
Thinking of this, I only heard Bei Gufang speak: "I am already very satisfied that you can have this heart, but only when the thousand sets of armor are equipped with the military strength under your command can they be used to the maximum.
And if the family can really wait for the day of the Oda family's army, even if these armor and weapons are given to you, it is also right, besides, you are all ministers of the family, you are strong, you are the family is strong, what is the difference between this and arming the army under my command, you don't need to persuade again, this is so decided. โ
The retainers have been touched several times today, and they have begun to have some regrets in their hearts, if the lord himself would have been loyal to him after inheriting the governor, instead of looking forward to the ancestor as the leader, I am afraid that the northern family would not have ended up in such a field.
And when he could see that the lord had made up his mind, so he didn't say anything more, the lord was right, he was originally a minister of the northern family, and if he became strong, wouldn't it also mean that the northern family was strong, and he had never thought of rebellion, the lord was so magnanimous, why should he care, how could this be done by a samurai.
I only heard the retainers say in unison: "The lord is kind, and the subordinates have nothing to repay, and they will swear allegiance to the lord to the death." โ
"If you can have this heart, then I will be worry-free in the future." After Bei Gufang finished speaking, I only heard him speak again: "Since this matter has been decided, I don't know if you have any suggestions. โ
I heard the retainers hurriedly say in fear: "The subordinates don't dare." โ
Since someone had already thrown bricks and led the jade, the other retainers' thoughts couldn't help but be much clearer, only to hear Okuyama Nagashi Lusuke speak: "My lord, my subordinates think that the top priority now is to improve the momentum of the defending army, otherwise, if the Oda family is attacking the city, the morale of the ashigaru is low, it will be very easy to build the castle and collapse, if the Oda army takes the opportunity to enter the city, then it will be very difficult to expel it from the city, this matter is very important, and please ask the lord to make a decision as soon as possible." โ
What Okuyama Changlusuke said,That's what Beigufang is worried about.,However,For improving morale,He didn't have a good way.,And he knew that now in addition to using money and possibly improving the morale of Ashigaru.,Other methods don't work.,And he just took control of the power for a short time.,And facing such a crisis.,Beigufang has already put all his mind on the current situation.,So how much money is in the family.,He hasn't come to ask yet.,Since I heard the retainers mention it now.,This matter is related to the survival of the family.ยท Then he couldn't help but ask.
Thinking of this, I only heard Bei Gufang instruct: "Come on, quickly go to the inner library to check the family's money, and after it is almost clear, come and report it quickly." โ
"It's the lord." One of the attendants walked briskly into the inner room after answering the pain.
Bei Gufang thought that this would make him wait for a long time, but just when he wanted to take the time to ask for another strategy, he saw the attendant walking in with a thick hand in his hand.
Bei Gufang didn't know how to do it, his father would write down every money he spent, no matter how much money he had, and it was because of this good habit that Bei Gu taught him to save a lot of time.
I saw that the servant came to the front and said: "Report, lord, my subordinates have taken the account books, and the money left in the family is 3,712 and 514 wen, of which the gold judgment is 680 consistent, and the others are copper coins, and the lord is also asked to decide." After speaking, I saw him put his hand on it, and the lord checked it. โฆ,
Bei Gufang was in no mood to reconcile the account now, so he just glanced at it a few times, and after the total number written on it was the same as the number reported by the attendant, he put his hand aside. And the brow furrowed.
He really didn't expect that there was only such a little money left in his family, even if each ashigaru only issued the same amount, and nearly half of it was still missing for boosting morale, not to mention that he wanted to send more, if each person only sent five hundred wen, it would not be possible to play a big role.
As a powerful force with nearly 300,000 stone stones, the Beijia should not have only left this money, but the cost of the five hundred elites and three thousand banners raised by the Bei Gujiao when he was alive was too great, which made the Bei family pay a huge price, otherwise, it would not have been possible for the elite of the Bei family to burst out with such a powerful strength during the Battle of Luyuan, if it weren't for the desperate resistance of the Gaoshan clan, Nobunaga would have died in Huangquan a long time ago.
Moreover, coupled with the daily expenses of the family, as well as the money paid to the retainers, there is still this money left, which already shows that Beigujiao can be regarded as very frugal.
After listening to this, the retainers present also knew that the lord was not rich now, and even if the three thousand guan were issued together, it would be impossible to improve their morale much.
Seeing that the lord's brows were not spread, and he was worried about money at the moment, he couldn't help but say: "Lord, the subordinates have been favored by the North family for generations, so the subordinates have donated all their family assets for the lord's use. โ
"The subordinates are willing to donate 200 yuan for the lord to boost his morale."
"My subordinates are willing to offer one hundred and fifty pieces for the lord to spend on them."
โโฆยทยทยทโ The sound of gold donations came and went, and all the samurai who were sitting there did not open their mouths to donate.
Except for Fujikata Asanori and Okuyama Nagarisuke, two retainers who did not go on the expedition with Kitakuri, and suffered any loss of property, the other retainers only brought part of the money due to the swiftness of the Oda army and the fact that they were going to pack up, so even if they gave all the money they brought, each of them would only be one or two hundred kan.
But as the saying goes, a small amount adds up, and counting all the family assets of Okuyama Tokirisuke and Fujikata Asanoi, there are about more than 5,000 yuan, and the reason why the retainers are so generous is because they all know that there is no end to the eggs under the nest, and if the North family is destroyed, even if they leave the money, what is the use.
It's better to use this to fight, as long as the family can hold on until the Weaving Sky Army retreats, what is the value of this money. Clear
