Chapter 399: Dick Silk's counterattack
Nakata Shinzaburo,As a native of Dewa Province's Senbei County",The future was originally very bleak.。 Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
After all, Shinzaburo Nakata's father, Shingoro Nakata, was just an honest farmer, although he also worked as a peasant soldier when he was young, but to be honest, before the rise of the Tsugawa family, a peasant soldier was equal to a peasant.
Originally, Nakata Shinzaburo's life trajectory was to inherit Nakata Shingoro's several anti-fields, and then marry a village woman from the same village as his wife, and live the rest of his life doing nothing.
However, Nakata's fate changed in the 11th year of Astronomy.
Here, I have to mention the PY deal between Shinzaburo Nakata's father, Shingoro Nakata, and Kinshiro Hirata's friend, Hirate Uemon, who is also a merchant in Senhoku-gun.
In the 11th year of Astronomy, Soji Tsugawa was attacked at Higashiyamaji Temple, and Tsugawa Castle was also set on fire by the Kanazawa family, who were in contact with the Spo family and the Onodera family. The fire affected many people in Tsugawa Castle and the surrounding area.
Shinzaburo Nakata is one of the "melon-eating people" affected by the disaster. During a disaster relief led by the two wives of the head of the Tsugawa family, Yukihime and Koran, Shinzaburo Nakata's father met a businessman from the same township and drew Uemon.
In view of the marriage contract made by the two families before, Herate Uemon proposed that as long as Nakata Shinzaburo could become the permanent ashigaru of the Tsugawa family and make meritorious deeds, he could marry his daughter Haruko.
It turns out that dreams are a must-have, what if they come true one day?
Shinzaburo Nakata, who had great ambitions, participated in the standing ashigaru selection of Rokugo Castle under various incentives, and because of his good archery skills, he was successfully selected by Rokugo Castle as a standing archer of the fifth squadron of the first squadron of the Rokugo Castle garrison ashigaru, with an annual salary of 10 koku.
However, this is only the first step for Shinzaburo Nakata.
During the Battle of Tsugawa Castle in the 12th year of Astronomy, Shinzaburo Nakata shot and killed four Ashigaru of the Yokote family, including a samurai, on Tsugawa Castle. Because of this exploit, Shinzaburo Nakata was promoted to the leader of the fifth squad samurai, with an annual salary of 20 koku.
In the thirteenth year of astronomy, the Tsugawa family vigorously selected Ashigaru with good physical strength and good eyesight in the collar. Because Shinzaburo Nakata himself had superb marksmanship, he was successfully selected for the musket team.
Subsequently, in the daily training of the musket team, Shinzaburo Nakata stood out among the 100 ashigaru because of his hard training and previous archery skills. He was recommended by Shimazu and Saburo to Soji Tsugawa.
Soharu Tsugawa also attached great importance to such talents, and immediately appointed Shinzaburo Nakata as the head of the first squadron of the musket team, with an annual salary of 50 koku.
In the same month, Shinzaburo Nakata, who has become the head of Ashigaru, successfully married Haruko, the daughter of Hirate Uemon, and his dream came true! The Warring States version of "Becoming the CEO, Winning Bai Fumei, and Reaching the Peak of Life" was successfully staged.
And there are many examples of Shinzaburo Nakata in the territory of the Tsugawa family, and it can be said that the fastest shortcut to get rid of poverty and mediocrity is to become the ashigaru of the Tsugawa family. One example after another has successfully set a good example for the people of the Tsugawa family.
In the Tsugawa family, there will never be a shortage of ashigaru, because countless young people want to become the standing ashigaru of the Tsugawa family. The Tsugawa family's standing ashigaru means that you can get ahead! Become an admired samurai!
..........
Mt. Shimono, in the Musket Corps training camp. 100 people from the 1st and 2nd squadrons are working hard as trainers.
For more than three months, the ashigaru of these musket teams has been repeating from morning to night, physical training, shooting training, familiarization with muskets and other tedious and boring training. However, although the training was very boring, the ashigaru people still maintained their greatest enthusiasm. Because, muskets are really fun.......
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! The distinctive sound of the musket projectiles rang out continuously, and then a large white smoke screen slowly rose, like a large thick fog, and the whole valley was shrouded in a mysterious atmosphere.
It's been almost half an hour since Soji Tsukawa arrived here, and he rejected Shimazu and Saburo's proposal to stop the Ashigaru's training, and Soji Tsukawa wanted to quietly observe the training of the Ashigaru.
As it turned out, Soharu Tsugawa was very satisfied with the training of the Ashigaru during this time.
"With Saburo, it seems that under your training, the training of these ashigaru people is very good." Soji Tsugawa looked at Ashigaru, who was training not far away, and said with a smile to Shimazu and Saburo beside him.
Shimazu and Saburo hurriedly replied, "My lord, this is because the ashigaru people have always maintained an unusually high enthusiasm, and the training of the musket team of this family will go so smoothly." ”
"That's it! Don't be polite, the training of the ashigaru is also thanks to you. Soji Tsugawa patted Shimazu and Saburo on the shoulder, which flattered Shimazu and Saburo for a while.
In the Tsugawa family, who doesn't know that anyone who can make Tsugawa Soji pat on the shoulder is someone who is valued by Tsugawa Soji? And these people are now in high positions. Even in the Tsugawa family, there is a saying that "anyone who has been patted on the shoulder by Tsugawa Soji is at least a person who can become the lord of a city!" ”
"Alright, let's stop the ashigaru, I have something to say." Soji Tsugawa suddenly said at this time.
"Hah!"
After Shimazu finished talking to Saburo, he then came to the training ground and said loudly, "Everyone, stop training, assemble!" ”
As Shimazu and Saburo's voice came, hundreds of ashigaru on the training ground immediately put away their muskets and strode over to Shimazu and Saburo to stand in front of them. It's been a long time since Izukawa Soji has seen such a scene, and the last time I saw it was during military training in college, when Soji Tsugawa was still a pacesetter in that year's military training.
"Ladies and gentlemen! The fact that you are standing here shows that you are the best ashigaru in your family, and I have no doubt about that! Soji Tsugawa stood on a high place and looked down at Ashigaru below, and said condescendingly, "Some of you may know me, and some of you may not have seen me in person, but none of this matters!" ”
"Importantly, I'm optimistic about you!" Soji Tsugawa said loudly, "I don't care what your previous identity was, whether it's a standing ashigaru or a samurai, these will eventually become a thing of the past." ”
"As long as you train well, there will be a time for you to shine in the future! When the time comes, some of you will become samurai, and some of you will gain knowledge and practice for your military exploits, but all of this has one premise, that is, you must train well now! ”
"To tell you the truth, you are a wonder soldier of our family! After the autumn harvest, the family is going to attack Anton's family, and then it will be the time for you to make a splash! Soji Tsugawa looked at the ashigaru who was obviously driven by himself on the field and said loudly: "The musket in your hand is what you rely on to get ahead!" Good training, and I look forward to the day when you build up your feats! ”
"Wow! Ooh! Under the incendiary words of Soharu Tsugawa, the ashigaru people on the field yelled one by one with red eyes. Isn't what Soharu Tsugawa said exactly what they have been pursuing and expecting?
