Kawasaki Yorihiro continued respectfully: "Your Highness, to be honest, the ministers before the war have analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the Date army, and found that it is difficult to win without three times the strength of the Date army in the field battle. He defeated Tokushijoji Kusumi outside Kawasaki Castle. (The fastest update speed is on the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info)" and said some words of high merit and praise.
Zheng Heng frowned, quite disgusted by this kind of sycophancy, and his face was a little silent.
Kawasaki Yorihiro saw that Zhengheng didn't want to listen to it, so he immediately changed the topic to the topic and said: "Your Highness's soldiers and horses attach importance to defeating the enemy army with fewer victories, and they can always win in field battles. ”
As soon as he heard Kawasaki Yorihiro say this, Zhengheng's eyes instantly narrowed, but he quickly pulled the realization back to Kawasaki Yorihiro's respectful face, and said lightly: "Keep talking!" ”
Kawasaki Yorihiro heard Zhengheng's encouragement, his heart was slightly happy, and he calmed down and understood that these words moved Zhengheng, and once again bowed to the ground and looked up and said: "Yes, Your Highness, the minister has been thinking hard for many days and has no choice but to go down to the camp to see what the difference is in training?"
To tell the truth, although the ashigaru people have dark faces, but they can be seen faintly with some dishes, and there are many hunchbacks when walking.
Why do you repeatedly defeat your own enemies in field battles? The minister felt that this not only had the wisdom and martial arts of His Highness, but also the following three points:
The first point is that they are separated from the land, and they and the Date family are tied to the same boat, one is prosperous and the other is declining, there is no ideological baggage, and they are brave and dare to fight when they fight;
The second point is that they have the hope of becoming samurai and high rewards, although they are not very high, compared to samurai.
However, every victory in each battle can be rewarded with nearly forty percent, and more importantly, the Date family does not have a huge group of genealogical retainers like other powerful people.
If this group of retainers is united, it will exert great energy, but no matter whether it is good or bad, it has a disadvantage that the family name is heavy on the bloodline, and it is difficult for young people to have a bright future, let alone the common people and bandits.
The use of a large number of young people in the Date family, regardless of the name of the talent, and even the bandit outcasts, will inevitably attract the attention of the young ronin samurai around them;
The third point is to abide by the law and discipline, there is a reward and punishment, and there is a great reward and a big punishment, and it is the military discipline formulated by His Royal Highness that makes the ashigaru strictly disciplined and prohibited.
Chen Changsi sighed that if His Royal Highness could train 5,000 warriors who dared to fight in half a year, it would be enough to sweep away Bei China, and even make the surrounding heroes bow down to their ministers.
The minister was terrified, and asked His Royal Highness to forgive the minister for peeping at the ashigaru training. As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at Zhengheng with a bright look.
Zheng Heng tapped his knees, he didn't think that he used the Tongshan people to have so many Dao, and suddenly thought of the understanding of the separation of soldiers and peasants on the Internet in his previous life, and shook his head, if the separation of soldiers and peasants is really implemented, the land of 2100 Guan is really unable to have too many troops! It's hard to do!
Zheng Heng thoughtfully muttered two words about the separation of soldiers and peasants, and suddenly said to Akagi Kaohsiung: "Akagi, are there any wandering idlers in the land controlled by my family. ”
Akagi Takao shook his head and said: "As His Highness has heard, in fact, most of the wild samurai in the area controlled by my family have been included in the command of His Highness and live under the city of Iris Nest Mountain, and the scale of one hundred and seven people is really comparable to that of the new Mi Sada, but most of his samurai live in their respective villages, and they are not gathered in Kaicheng, and the garrison of Kaicheng is only more than three hundred standing troops, which is not much different from my family." ”
Zheng Heng smiled bitterly and said, "You mean that it is not possible for my family to form a strong standing army?" ”
Akagi Takao nodded and replied: "That's right, although His Royal Highness Kawasaki Yorihiro's mention is good, but according to my family's Guan Gao, even if there is enough population to recruit young and strong, it can only afford the number of four hundred."
After all, there are very few people like Tongshan who have no family burden, and after two years, their income will also become a burden to the Date family, and people always have to get married and have children. ”
That's right! Now there are only these in Guangao, and with the burden of Kawasaki Castle and Omatsu Castle, the size of the entire army is already nearly 500 people, which is already quite a lot.
However, in Zhengheng's heart, there has always been a force of 1,000 people to come out, just like the Tongshan people, who can go out to fight all year round.
At the thought of not being able to achieve this, the happy look in Zhengheng's eyes dimmed, revealing a heavy expression.
Kogoro Iwase suddenly said: "Your Highness, this is actually very easy, just expand the territory within this year?" In this way, it will not be possible to afford a larger number of troops. ”
Zhengheng suddenly said angrily: "What nonsense, Kogoro, such words must not be said nonsense, if they are spread, they will be dissatisfied with the surrounding heroes, so that they will unite to fight with us." Kogoro, you can't be so reckless in the future. ”
Seeing that the lord was a little angry, Iwase Kogoro shrunk his neck, but after waiting for a while, he couldn't help but want to speak, Kiyokawa Atsutaro pulled his sleeve and took the lead in saying: "Your Highness, although Kogoro said it was reckless, it also just explained the situation of my family. Kashijo Shinmi Hyogo has always been at odds with us and even wants to murder His Highness, and the retainer of the Mimura family in Kawakami Prefecture, Hirakawa Saburo Uemon, is even more bitter with us, and this Toyonaga battle is a grudge against the Sai Tian Zhuang clan, so it can be said that it is surrounded by enemies, since the enemy may attack us at any time, why don't we take advantage of the current time when Mimura repairs and Shonbinaka are enemies to expand our power? ”
Kogoro Iwase said loudly: "What Qinghe-kun said is exactly what I want to say, but I don't understand it as clearly as he said, Your Highness." ”
Noyama Masashi worshipped and said: "The minister seconded Kawasaki-kun and Qinghe-kun's mention, it's only the end of May, as long as you recruit and train neatly before mid-June, you can train a strong army that can fight, and then it's the autumn harvest season, the enemy will definitely start at that time, and you also need a force that can be outside or inside to resist the enemy." ”
Masahiro paused and was receiving: "Is Uchinomiya Daisuke also thinking the same way?" ”
Yeshan Yichao kowtowed and said: "That's right, it's just that this requires a lot of preparation, although weapons and food don't need to be considered much this year, but if you can't get enough space within the year, you also need to convert copper coins into brown rice and transport them in a steady stream, and there is also the problem of soldiers, the number of people in the territory is only 3000 to 4000 people, it is really inconvenient to consume too much people, and the minister thinks about recruiting 200 to 300 people first, and other deficiencies can be selected from the chaotic people of Fengyong." ”
Zhengheng thought for a moment and said: "The contact with Yukiyama Castle will be handed over to Tanba Mamoru, and brown rice can be purchased at a high price appropriately, and the matter of recruiting Ashigaru will be handed over to the two of Uchinomiya Daisuke and Akagi, well, Shibei, you take a few people to investigate the matter of Toyonaga, investigate their composition, and the others will start to prepare for training." ”
Seeing everyone leaving, Zheng Heng's eyes flashed with a fine light, and he suddenly remembered the person Shi Crab Shouyuan, and muttered in a low voice: "Shi Crab Shouyuan actually escaped for him again, if it weren't for the complete occupation of Stone Crab Mountain City, he might be a good mastermind." ”
