After confirming the reserve military service and the sword hunting order, Oda Yoshinobu did not stop there, because when Mikawa had been pacifying, he found that the limitations of his troops were too great. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info: So he's been thinking about the expansion of the army since he came back.

"About reserve service, that's it. But I have another thought, how about we form a cavalry team? Oda Yoshinobu said of the cavalry, with an excited expression on his face. But it's no wonder that if war is a romance for men, then cavalry is the most beautiful part of that romance.

In ancient warfare, no class of troops had a greater allure to men than cavalry. A large-scale cavalry regiment, like a modern armored corps, is so exciting. And the same is true of Oda Yoshinobu. If he had a choice, he absolutely wanted all his troops to be cavalry, and under his leadership, they would be able to level the world.

It's just a pity that the dream is very full, the reality is very skinny, and as soon as Oda Yoshinobu's voice fell, countless voices of opposition sounded below.

"My lord! This is impossible......" Li Huamei dismantled Oda Yoshinobu's platform without any scruples.

And although people such as Dao Zuojin are not as obvious as Li Huamei said, they also have the same meaning in their words, that is, the formation of a cavalry team is simply impossible.

"Uh......" Oda Yoshinobu could never have imagined that such a proposal would be opposed by everyone. Well, it's not everyone, Chiyo Mochizuki and they are silent, but it's obviously because they think they don't speak because they think they're soft-spoken, right?

"Actually, I think it's a good idea...... Cavalry is not much stronger than infantry? Seeing this, Oda Yoshinobu said helplessly.

"My lord, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry is naturally much stronger than that of the infantry, but unfortunately, we or our own family cannot form a large-scale cavalry team at all!" Li Huamei also said helplessly. She didn't understand why her lord and husband would always make a good proposal and then turn to nonsense. To put it bluntly, why does this IQ always go up and down?

Well, regarding the matter of cavalry, Oda Yoshinobu did not discuss it with Li Huamei and others, and it was completely improvized. In his opinion, since he was going to make a pike, archery and iron artillery team, wouldn't it be a normal thing to form a cavalry team?

Seeing this, Li Huamei didn't answer, and glanced directly at Lilu next to her. Lilu understood, and immediately said, "My lord, according to what my subordinates learned in Kai Town, the price of an ordinary war horse is about 200-300 koko, and the price in the region is generally around 300 koku. ”

"However, although the price is expensive, it is not the most difficult thing, and the biggest difficulty in forming a cavalry team is that excellent war horses are completely priceless. Because that kind of horse is basically a strategic material, unless it is a price much higher than the market price, it is difficult to buy. ”

"This ......" Oda Yoshinobu was speechless when he heard this, because he found that he didn't know how to refute it at all. Indeed, when he came up with this idea, he did not think about the price of horses at all, because there were really no horse dealers in Owari. Well, or should I say, there are no so-called horse merchants in this era at all. The only option to buy horses is to trade with local lords, but apparently no lord has the brains to trade horses.

After thinking about it, Oda Yoshinobu came up with another idea, "Then what if we buy a stallion ourselves to raise?" If you come from Europe or the northeastern region of the Ming Dynasty, you should be able to buy a stallion, right? ”

"It's a pity, my lord, Owari doesn't have such a vast grassland to raise horses." Li Huamei immediately responded when she heard this. After many years of politics, Li Huamei already knows a lot about Owari affairs, and she doesn't need to think much to blurt it out.

"That's it......" Oda Yoshinobu scratched his head and said a little unwillingly, "Alas, since that's the case, I can only put it down first." ”

"The lord is wise!" Hearing this, Li Huamei and the others hurriedly shouted. They were really afraid that after Oda Yoshinobu went through the Battle of Mikawa, this lord of his own family would become arrogant and inflated. But now it seems that although arrogance seems to be a bit bit, it is fortunate that I can still listen to advice.

However, although Oda Yoshinobu rejected this proposal, in his heart, he did not give up the idea of the cavalry. However, how to do it can only be pondered by Oda Yoshinobu himself, and now, he still has to make the next appointment.

"Chiyo Mochizuki, Kato Danzo!"

"The subordinates are here!" When the two heard this, they immediately responded.

"Now I order you two to form a ninja army separately! Duan Zang, the ninja army under your command is mainly to assassinate, probe the enemy, and garrison and protect the city. Chiyo Girl, your command mainly cultivates excellent female ninjas, mainly to collect local and foreign intelligence. I'll talk to you about the details later. ”

"Yes!" Kanzo Kato and Chiyo Mochizuki were ordered to retreat.

"Lilu!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"From now on, you continue to expand your fleet and strive to increase the number of Argot ships to five!" Yoshinobu Oda said loudly.

"This ......" everyone was shocked again, and although everyone did not know how much money the ship had spent, there was no doubt that everyone who saw it would see from its appearance that it was definitely not expensive. It was completely different from the shape and construction of Japanese ships, and it took a lot of time to study it alone.

"Lord ......" Lilu also looked at Oda Yoshinobu in shock, although after continuous renovation and transformation over the years, the cost of building an Argot is no longer like 8,000 yuan a ship, but three more ships have increased at once, no matter how you think about it, it will cost about 20,000 yuan, and this is only the money for shipbuilding.

"Lord, is this too fast? Not to mention the price of the ship, even if it is built, the family will not find so many qualified crews! Lilu objected in a low voice.

However, Oda Yoshinobu has already discussed this with Li Huamei, "It's okay, I'm not asking you to build five ships at once, but one by one." As for the crew, from today onwards, you will be recruiting people in Owari, Mikawa, and other places, and you will be given the same status as a samurai and political education just like reserve military service. ”

"Yes!" Hearing this, Lilu didn't say anything more, and took the order to retreat.

"Hmm...... That's the end of today's assessment, Duan Zang, Chiyo Nu, you two stay. Oda Yoshinobu said, and everyone slowly dispersed, but in the end, Ning Ning still sat in place with a hesitant but very firm face.

"Huh? Ning Ning, is there anything else? Oda Yoshinobu asked curiously, not angry that she hadn't followed his orders. For women, well...... is mainly a beauty, Oda Yoshinobu has always been very tolerant, not to mention, Ning Ning also gave birth to a child for himself.

Yes, just last year, Ning Ning gave birth to a boy for Oda Yoshinobu, so Oda Yoshinobu randomly gave the child a young name of Goro, and by the way, Ning Ning was taken as a concubine.

Speaking of which, in fact, Oda Yoshinobu did not intend to take Ning Ning as a concubine, although Ning Ning is one of the three ladies, but to be honest, Oda Yoshinobu really has no feelings for her. She is not like Ah Shi who grew up with her since she was a child, nor like Li Huamei, who accompanies her every day, and is not like Ah Song, who is from the Maeda family.

Perhaps, if Ning Ning hadn't taken the initiative to ask to run a merchant hall with Lilu, I'm afraid that she would become one of the many women of Oda Yoshinobu like Amatsu today, and slowly wait for her to grow old, right?

Well, in this way, Oda Yoshinobu is really a bastard, he gets someone else, but he doesn't pay attention to the other party. It's just that since ancient times, isn't it the case that people who open harems? How can true love be born to every woman? I'm afraid that if it weren't for Ning Ning and Ah Song's historical status over there, Oda Yoshinobu wouldn't have paid attention to them at all, right?

However, in the end, Oda Yoshinobu still took Ning Ning as a concubine, not because he suddenly felt that he owed Ning Ning something, but because Ah Shi persuaded him to do so, and at the same time, Yu Da also interceded for Ning Ning.

Now Yu Da has already handed over the position of the head maid to her daughter Duo Dan, and she herself is concentrating on helping to take care of the children. The two girls said this at the same time, and Oda Yoshinobu naturally would not object, after all, it was not a big deal to take a concubine.

Hearing Oda Yoshinobu's inquiry, Ning Ning hesitated for a moment, and finally said firmly with Oda Yoshinobu's gentle smile, "Lord, my subordinates hope to become the leader of the ninja army!" The subordinates have the confidence to build a ninja army that is not only powerful, but also does not require the lord to spend money all the time to cultivate! ”

"Uh......" Oda Yoshinobu heard this, and suddenly looked at Ning Ning a little strangely, and Ning Ning also looked at Oda Yoshinobu deadly, and that firm look told Oda Yoshinobu her determination.

The two looked at each other like this, and after a long time, Oda Yoshinobu sighed helplessly, "You two go down first......

"Yes!" Kato Duanzo and Chiyo Mochizuki answered in a low voice, and then slowly walked out. Before leaving, he glanced at Ning Ning curiously. Hawkers, the two of them didn't have any objection to Ning Ning's request, because in their opinion, the status of a ninja was not as high as that of a businessman, not to mention that Ning Ning was still the concubine of Oda Yoshinobu.

What they are curious about is because of the profession of ninja, although every daimyo or powerful family has it, but generally the samurai who become the leader of the ninja army are directly assigned by the daimyo or patriarch, not by themselves. After all, although ninjas are powerful martial arts, to be honest, many of the ninja's styles of conduct are incompatible with the samurai spirit.

Moreover, compared to the professions of samurai and merchants, the profession of ninja is also darker, and what they face every day is the dark side of human nature, even if it is training, it is full of cruelty and death. In this case, there is a young and beautiful woman who wants to give up her position as a merchant and become a ninja, which is really difficult for the two of them to figure out. If they had to choose, they would prefer to be merchants rather than ninjas who walk on blades with their heads in their hands every day.

After the two left, Oda Yoshinobu waved at Ning Ning and smiled, "Okay, don't put on such a serious appearance~Come and sit~"

"Yes~" Ning Ning heard this, and then walked in front of Oda Yoshinobu and sat directly in his arms, wrapped his hands around Oda Yoshinobu's neck, and rubbed with his graceful body, while pleading in a coquettish voice, "Lord, you will promise your subordinates~"

"You little sao goods~" Oda Yoshinobu slapped Ning Ning's **** fiercely, and said angrily, "Say, what are you thinking?" ”

"Subordinate...... The subordinates also hope to be able to become a woman like Mrs. Ashi and Mrs. Li, who can help the lord alone, rather than just Lilu's sister's deputy......" Ning Ning hesitated for a moment and whispered.

"Uh......" Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu was instantly stunned, and at this moment, he thought of the question that every generation of kings might think of, the harem for power. I thought of the raging jealousy hidden in the deep palace in history. Thought of ...... Uh, well, this kid Oda Yoshinobu has a bit of a big brain.

Why do you think that? Isn't Yu Yamato more just a maid? Isn't Ah Song just an ordinary concubine? Oda Yoshinobu asked curiously. He didn't believe that Ning Ning had learned to fight for power and profit at such a young age, even if in history, she was a strange woman known as the Northern Political Institute. Moreover, Ning Ning has no reason to fight for power and profit, after all, she can't compete with anyone at all, even if she becomes the leader of the ninja army.

"But Mrs. Yu and Sister Duo are your unique maids, and your subordinates and Sister Ah Song are just one of your many wives......," Ning Ning said in a low voice with some resentment.

"Uh...... Is this jealous? Oda Yoshinobu looked at Ning Ning strangely, but he was a little speechless for a while. As mentioned before, he paid much attention to Ning Ning and Ah Song, except for the curiosity at the beginning, he basically didn't pay much attention to it for the rest of the time. When I see Ah Song, I always see it next to Ah Shi or Yu Da. When I saw Ning Ning, I also saw it by Lilu's side. They will always be one of them, and they can't be listed separately like Li Huamei.

However, in this regard, Oda Yoshinobu was not angry, but became a little proud, "Tsk, one of the three ladies of the Warring States period is actually jealous of me~" Oda Yoshinobu thought confidently, and asked at the same time, "Then are you confident?" Ninjas, unlike merchants, see a lot of cruel things. ”

Hearing Oda Yoshinobu's words, Ning Ning immediately happily reassured, "Lord, don't worry!" The subordinates will definitely work hard to train a ninja army that is unparalleled in the world for the lord! Ning Ning guaranteed! ”

Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu thought for a while and said, "In that case, I'll give you a day, and you can ask Chiyonu or Duanzang." A day later, give me your ninja training plan. If it works, I'll let you come, if it doesn't......"

"Please rest assured!" When Ning Ning heard this, he didn't wait for Oda Yoshinobu to finish speaking, so he answered excitedly, and then ran away with a smoke.
