Chapter 56 Out of Tosa
The most important part of the system of "one collar is sufficient" is that all the soldiers who go out to battle are responsible for the samurai, landlords, and ground attendants in their territory. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info In other words, in case of war, the funds that the Chosho family needs to pay to the lords and samurai classes below are very limited, which greatly reduces the financial burden of the Chosho family.
In contrast, the Kuroda family can be regarded as wealthy, and the Kuroda family provides all the corresponding weapons and equipment to their retainers, counting the daily operation costs of the Kuroda family's workshop area, the purchase of raw materials, and the investment in the research and development of weapons and equipment, which is a considerable expenditure. This is also coupled with the weapons and equipment of tens of thousands of soldiers raised by the Kuroda family, which is also a huge expense.
However, the equipment of the Kuroda family has a little advantage, that is, basically except for the special equipment of individual samurai, the other equipment can be split and reassembled, which is the requirement of Kuroda's high school, which can naturally save a lot of equipment expenses for the Kuroda family, but compared to the huge investment above, this can really only be regarded as a small head.
That is to say, the Kuroda family now has a strong ability to absorb gold, whether it is agriculture or commerce, and it is only with the accumulation of the experience of many later generations of Kuroda Vocational High School that they can achieve such results. Any change to a daimyo family, without the support of such financial resources, it is impossible to have this ability, even the Oda family, which has separated the peasants and soldiers, cannot do this.
It is precisely because of the applicability of the "one collar is sufficient" system in Tosa Province that the Chosamune family was able to gather such a large army for a long time with limited land. It is precisely because of this that after the head of the family of Changzong and my department, he used these strengths to slowly eliminate the enemies around him, and then completed the great cause of unifying the four countries, but he was unlucky enough to meet a monkey.
"This ...... Lord Minbe, you must know that the family now owns 120,000 koku in half of Tosa Province! And the condition you gave is that the value of this can be retained 15,000 stones, which is too harsh for the family. I know that for the forces that voluntarily surrender to the Kuroda family, they can generally retain more than fifty percent of their territory, why did it become such a little bit when they arrived at the main family? Moreover, Lord Minbu, the family hopes that it will be enough to keep the original territory of Gangfeng City and not transfer it to other places, which is also the meaning of the head of the family. Takimoto Temple said anxiously.
At this time, Takimoto Temple could no longer be calm after knowing the conditions of Kuroda Vocational High School. Others negotiate on the ground, and then slowly bargain, but Kuroda Vocational High School is almost not prepared to give Changzong and my family any room for counteroffer!
"It is absolutely impossible for the condition of not being transferred to the throne requested by the head relatives of the Changzong and my department, and there is so much land." Kuroda squinted his right eye, looked at Takimoto Temple, and said categorically.
"This ...... In this case, I will retire first, and I will definitely convey the full meaning of Lord Minbu to the head of the family. "Takimoto Temple didn't know that there was no room for maneuver, and it wouldn't be interesting to keep it any longer, so he was ready to say goodbye immediately.
"Hmmm! You go back, if the family of Changzong and my department can't accept it, please also ask the Lord of Changzong and my department to fight the whole army! The corners of Kuroda's mouth curled, and he said coldly to Takimoto Temple.
"Hey! The words of Lord Minbe will bring words to me by all means. Takimoto Temple said.
Just two days later, the Tongxin people who had already gone to the Chosho clan clan to lurk in the clan came the news that the Chosho clan had decided not to submit to the Kuroda clan and began to reorganize the army in the territory with all its might, and the number was expected to be around 6,000.
"Is there only 6,000 people in Changzong's family?" Miyoshi asked.
"According to the intelligence, the Changzong family has indeed mobilized 6,000 people." Kuroda said.
"In that case, it seems that the family can fight a fight!" Nagahide Sasaki said.
"That's right! That's really good to go straight to the past. Miyata Mitsuji said with a smile.
"Just kill it." "Yes! Young lord, let's go to Tosa Province! "Shikoku is ours." "Yes! Four countries are unified. Everyone said eagerly.
"Everyone, it's good to have self-confidence, and this time the family will definitely win the final victory, but the Changzong and my family are not easy to deal with, so I hope you don't despise the Changzong and my family too much, do you remember?" Kuroda said loudly.
"Hey!" The people should be in peace.
"Is there any news from the Ichijo family and the Saionji family?" Kuroda asked.
"Back to the young master, the two families have already decided to submit to their own family yesterday." Riyan Kuriyama replied.
"Yes! Very good, in this case, according to the previous battle plan, you will immediately go down and prepare, the small lotus reserve will go first, and the whole army will be ready to go out in half an hour. Kuroda raised his military command and pointed to the south, which was the direction of Tosa Province, and shouted loudly, his loud voice echoed throughout the castle tower.
"Hey!" The crowd erupted into the loudest noise, and morale reached its peak.
When Changzong's family had just completed the assembly and was about to set off from Gangfeng City, Changzong's relatives got the news. An elite army of 3,000 members of the Kuroda family, led by Miyata Miyata, a famous general of the Kuroda family, broke through to Tosa Province from the side of Awa Province in Shimomei's street. And after Anyun County converged with the 500 troops of Anyu Guohu, he came to the vicinity of Heishi Mountain in Changgang County to stand up and make a defensive posture.
For the Kuroda family's sudden appearance in Tosa Province's army, the Chozong family was completely unprepared. As mentioned before, when Takimoto Temple was on an envoy to the Kuroda family, the reason why he paid attention to the Kuroda family's military situation in Katsurui Castle was to check the reality of the Kuroda family, and also to prevent the Kuroda family from launching a surprise attack on Tosa.
However, Takimoto Temple has no military camp outside Shengrui City, and can only look at a rough idea. At that time, he saw that the Kuroda family had an army of 10,000, which was not wrong, and the Kuroda family really had 10,000 horses outside the city at that time. But what he couldn't see clearly was that the 10,000 people in the camp were not the elite of the Kuroda family at all.
One thing that Takimoto Temple didn't know was that the 10,000 people in the Kuroda family's camp at that time were just 7,000 Kuroda family's wealthy miscellaneous soldiers and 3,000 soldiers in Katsurui City.
The Kuroda family has another 7,000 men, and they have long been ambushed on the border between Tosa and Awa provinces.
