Chapter 114: The actions of the daimyo (below), rewarding and adding more to Lord MadaraLi
Uesugi Kenshin was forced to send Yamamoto Temple and Sebe Katsucho, who belonged to the Yokuku, to lead a thousand men to rescue Vietnam, a move that also delayed Uesugi Kenshin's suppression of Honjo's rebellion. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Tokugawa Ieyasu also obtained a prefecture in Enoe Province through various means, and each family was speeding up the pace of their expansion, and no one dared to stop and watch, perhaps it was really as Kuroda Vocational High School said, Sengoku embarked on the road of unification,
This process is what really happened in history, so Kuroda Vocational High School knows very well that the Kuroda family must develop quickly, of course, if you are just satisfied with the status quo and have been in a stalemate with the Oda family, Kuroda Vocational High School is also confident, as long as you can consume Oda Nobunaga to death, you will have a chance.
But Kuroda knew that he could never do that.
Although if you think about it carefully, the change of Honnoji Temple was on the second day of the sixth month of the 10th year of Tensho (1582 AD), which is thirteen and a half years from now. Kuroda Vocational High School is now less than twenty-three years old, and it will only be thirty-six years old at that time, and taking advantage of the chaos to attack the chaotic Oda family is actually the most in the interests of the Kuroda family.
It's just that in this case, for the Kuroda family, it only took a few years to capture Kyushu, and then it took several years to empty it, and then sit back and watch Toyotomi, Tokugawa and other forces grow, which is not what Kuroda Vocational High School wants to see.
He is very worried that after more than ten years, after he has made great changes to the original history, he does not know what history will develop, and sometimes the butterfly effect is real. As long as you are the butterfly, if you don't pay attention, in the great storm caused, the first to be hanged is the butterfly itself.
These more than 70,000 soldiers, if all of them are kept as the standing reserve of the Kuroda family, to be honest, the Kuroda family may really not be able to support them, after all, they are all professional soldiers who do not work, and they have to consume a huge amount of money and food of the Kuroda family every year.
However, the current territory of the Kuroda family is very large, and the surrounding forces are basically eyeing the Kuroda family, so the Kuroda family can't help but keep a sufficient number of soldiers to guard against them.
In the end, after consulting with Shigeharu Takenaka, Sanada Masayuki, and the followers Konishi Ryoza and Maeda Genyuki, Kuroda's final opinion was to eliminate 15,000 old, weak, and disabled people, or only children in the family, on top of the current scale of more than 70,000 people, and the rest of the people would continue to fight for the Kuroda family as the military force of the Kuroda family.
Among them, under the command of the Miyoshi family, which was previously received by Shikoku, as well as the command of the Kono family, who took the initiative to reduce the seal, other small daimyos, wealthy clans, and people from Tosa Province and Iyo Province, as well as the former Mori family who had surrendered to the Kuroda family during the war or were dismembered, the best ones (mainly samurai) were selected to join the Kuroda family, and the rest of the people will be assigned to the various legions of the Kuroda family after screening.
In principle, the total number of each regiment was kept at about 20,000, but each regiment should pay attention to increasing the proportion of standing elites and strengthen the training of soldiers, which was the best done by the Itetomo clan, while the three regiments of the Kodera clan, Mori Motosa, and Ando Mori still need to continue to work hard, and at the same time, agricultural production should not be abandoned.
The Kuroda family's main family will absorb 15,000 elite people from the soldiers from all over the country and the reserves in the territory, so that the standing soldiers of the ability can reach 40,000, so as to ensure that two armies can be divided into two forces to attack Kyushu in the future, and at the same time, it can also leave enough forces in the territory to ensure the safety of the ability.
The fifteen thousand people who were laid off would not receive nothing, but they would be given a small amount of compensation, and then they would become ordinary people in the realm again, and they would be given a small plot of land (which they had to cultivate themselves), and with the policy of the Kuroda family, as long as they could work hard, they would never starve to death.
Disarmament is a more troublesome matter, and this will only be able to give a specific target, which will be implemented by the retainers and legions of the family, and the details will not be under the control of Kuroda's vocational high school, after all, it involves tens of thousands of people, and he can't go and count them one by one, so at least he doesn't have to do anything else this year.
There is one thing that Kuroda Vocational High School knows, as long as the matter is handed over to the following, and it is this kind of task assigned layer by layer, it is inevitable that there will be some cats in the end, but Kuroda Vocational High School has a little requirement to guarantee the number of people and ensure the quality of the soldiers is a dead order.
At the same time, there are a few words from Kuroda Vocational High School:
1. Eliminate more soldiers, lie about the number of soldiers, and behead those who are greedy for military salaries and fill their private pockets;
2. Relying on the power in hand, announcing personal vendettas, driving people away, and demoting them to commoners;
3. Because of nepotism, taking care of the old, accepting bribes, replacing the strong with the weak, and degrading them to commoners;
4. Those who have been wronged can come to Kuroda Castle to appeal at any time, and once it is verified, the person involved will be dealt with according to the above three articles;
5. Those who make false accusations against their superiors will be punished with 50 canes once verified.
The five rules must be certain, and all the related people in charge of disarmament affairs of the Kuroda family from top to bottom attach great importance to it, after all, even Kuroda's favorite general Kuriyama Riyan was assigned because of his sin, and the people in the family should be careful! Although there will still be some favoritism in the end, the impact will be much smaller after all.
After the number of people increased by 12,000, the Kuroda family had to do a good job of arranging equipment for them, but fortunately, there was still a lot of inventory in the Kuroda family's workshop area, and this time it was just a one-time empty, so as not to put it in the warehouse, and over time it would naturally be damaged, which was also an act of loss of public assets.
At the same time, among the 300 newly recruited national apprentices in the workshop area, 100 apprentices with relatively poor learning and practical ability were also separated early, and went to other workshops to help make standard weapons and armor. In the matter of recruiting 300 technical apprentices, it can be said that Kuroda Vocational High School once again made a prediction in advance.
The second thing was to promote new agricultural tools and tools such as waterwheels throughout the Kuroda family, including the rice samarium, an improved version of the wheat cutting knife invented in the Yuan dynasty; Boat mill, a rice pounding appliance invented in the Yuan Dynasty; Plantar ploughshares, also called tread ploughs, are a kind of earth-turning agricultural tools invented in the Yuan Dynasty.
Seeing that there was no time when more novel and improved agricultural tools had begun to be widely used in the Ming Kingdom, Kuroda Vocational High School promoted the old things left over from the Yuan Dynasty to the people in the territory, but even these tools were definitely very advanced farming tools in the Wa Kingdom.
