Chapter 22: The Battle of Nagashino Castle (Part II)
Fighting on enemy soil is a pleasant thing for the strong, and the morale of the troops is high, and they are naturally extremely satisfied with the results.

But apparently all the people they met today were poor ghosts, and Owari Province was a local bun at the junction of urban and rural areas in Kyoto, but this was compared to whom, and for the poorer Sanhe mountain people, they were two different classes.
To be able to dig out the pockets of mountain people is a joke. However, the people of Owari were still very happy, and at least they could get more than 30 copper coins from the military tent by cutting off their heads, or a certificate, and if they accumulated a certain amount of certificates, they could exchange a small piece of land from the Oda family for them. Oda Nobunaga studied the system of the Date family comprehensively, and in addition to the financial system, there was also the military system. Date Masahiro made some innovations and compromises on the basis of the samurai system, making the Date family truly a samurai world.
This system meant that it was very easy to move from the common people to the samurai class, but it was difficult to move from the low-ranking samurai to the high-rank, but since the Date family was still on the rise, it was not that difficult to make the switch.
It is foreseeable that in the near future, this change will also become very difficult, and class solidification will become a system that many in power will need to maintain in later generations.
Combining the formal land policy with the samurai system, Date Masaki naturally did not engage in any land nationalization system, which is easy to say, but it is actually difficult to really do, and this is no longer a difficult thing, and the concept of thousands of years, as long as someone dares to put forward this idea, will inevitably be strongly counterattacked by the entire samurai system. Since Date Masaki is sitting on the side of the samurai system, it is natural that he will create and defend the interests of his own side for the samurai system he represents.
However, Date Mashiro also understands that if you want to change from the old samurai system to a new samurai system, and to change it into a samurai system that maintains Date Masahiro and the Date family, then you can only change and survive, and change the entire samurai system from compromise.
Date Masaki expanded the entire samurai system several times with Kuan Jinyan Admiral, suppressed the old school with numerical superiority, and redistributed the land, so that the samurai who had newly acquired the land naturally had to support the Date family, who had given them land, and fight against the counterattack of the old school.
Oda Nobunaga was a discerning governor, and he knew that the benefits of this samurai system for the expansion of the government outweighed the disadvantages, and the only disadvantage was that when the surrounding land could not meet this purpose, it would inevitably lead to foreign invasion.
However, at the moment, Oda Nobunaga naturally doesn't care, of course he won't take out the land of Owari Province to redistribute it, so the land of Mikawa Province and even the Imagawa family in Tokaido will enter his eyes.
So how can more people join in the feast of land redistribution? What could be faster and better for troubled times than war to prove? Killing enemies on the battlefield in exchange for a piece of proof, accumulating a certain amount in exchange for a small piece of land, and then accumulating enough land to create a samurai.
It may seem that becoming a samurai is still a bit difficult, but in reality it is very fast. You must know that the Date family has gradually separated the military and peasants, but the Oda family is obviously only a start-up, so the military is generally based on the village. A village will produce thirty or forty peasant soldiers, so it will be easy to feed a samurai with thirty or forty people. Of course, this samurai will give back to the same village, you must know that the difference between a village with a samurai and a village without a samurai is very large, at least the tax will be much less.
The people of Owari are quite supportive of Oda Nobunaga, in fact, it is also a lot of benefits for the countrymen of Owari, you must know that the original family business will be handed over to the eldest son, and the rest of the heirs will be able to obtain a small piece of land at most, and more will become ronin, erratic. As soon as Oda Nobunaga's policy came out, it was also a good opportunity for them to expand their family business, and the peasants and soldiers fought alone, and they fought in groups.
Takigawa Kazuyi is now being favored and has earned the position of striker, and as long as he wins the war, he will be able to obtain the ownership of a large piece of land. He is a smart man, and he naturally understands the truth that you eat meat to give people soup, and you can't benefit all of it. Soon the order was assigned to the various units, and then the Oda family bosses discussed with the Oda family that they should join the vanguard ranks. Everyone can see that attacking the three parties of the mountain family is a joint battle of steady victory, and the main meal is only after defeating the three parties of the mountain family. Since Takigawa Ichiyi is so good, then the bigwigs of the Oda family will not be sideways, and soon a vanguard team of 2,500 people came out and handed it over to Takigawa Ichiyi.
Takigawa Kazuyoshi was a smart man, but also a cautious man, he was leading an army of 2,000 men for the first time as the main general, and in the past he had usually hovered around the Oda family as the head of the spies, knowing that he should try to avoid making mistakes in the following joint battles.
Although they have an absolute advantage in numbers, but after all, they are in enemy territory, not to mention at the junction of the three countries, according to the spies, whether it is Takeda Shingen of Koshin or Imagawa Yoshimoto of Suruga, their activities are very frequent, who knows if they will suddenly come out.
Nagashino Castle is located in the westernmost part of Shirakugahara and is the key point where Toyogawa enters the Shinano Mountains, and it is also the main castle of the Sanjia tripartite clan to control the Shiraku-gun, which is the largest prefecture in Mikawa Province, and Kamo-gun is like two pincers surrounding the plain area of Mikawa Province. The capture of Nagashino Castle meant that the Oda army would purify the area of the Yama family and the three parties, and completely open up the passage in and out of Enoe Province, and also be able to defend against the threat from Shinano Province.
Noda Castle's victory gave Takigawa Kazuyi great confidence, and in his eyes, Nagashino Castle's geographical location, although better than Noda Castle, was not much better. The most important thing is that people can't do it, even if the city is good, it's useless. The people of Noda Castle were able to escape into Nagashino Castle, it can be said that Takigawa Kazuki deliberately, he just wanted to use the people of Noda Castle to disturb the hearts of Nagashino Castle, and it was best to win without a fight, then it would be complete. However, the lord of Nagashino Castle, Suganuma Sadamasa, was unwilling to give in.
The Suganuma clan originated from the Mino guardian Toki clan, and it is widely distributed in the eastern Mikawa and central areas, and it can be said that it is a powerful national of Mikawa Province, and in addition to the Shimada Suganuma clan, there are also powerful clans such as the Noda Suganuma clan, the Tamine Suganuma clan, and the Nagashino Suganuma clan.
Historically, the Noda Suganuma clan was reused in both the Imagawa and later Tokugawa Ieyasu dynasties, and later became a feudal lord in the Edo period.
Now, Noda Castle's Suganuma Dingying has fled from the wilderness, and Suganuma Sadamasa, who originally did not leave a single word in history, wants to leave a strong mark on this time and space together with Nagashino Castle.
