There is a lot of work to be done to completely settle the new territories. Fortunately, these tasks do not need to be directly involved biquge.info in political balance, as long as they are handed over to the right people.
For example, Akagi Kaohsiung is not suitable for conquest and warfare, but he is an expert in civil affairs, and he is also a good hand when he falls to the inspection according to his ability to explore mines, of course, he still needs to learn more and increase his experience, and he cannot achieve the situation of a god and a man overnight.
Although Miyahara Tanba Mamoru served as the castle lord for many years, he was not able to expand his territory, but in terms of agricultural production, he was an eye-opener for Masahiro. When he joined Kawasaki Castle, he became an agricultural commissioner, and this official position relied not only on his idle position, but also because he was determined to study agriculture.
At Omatsu Castle, Isesata was in charge of census and tax collection.
Under the combing of the three people, they quickly figured out a more accurate ratio of the number of young and strong people and the yield of the land, according to the high system, about 2,100 guan, if according to the ratio of high and high stone, it is about 6,300 stone.
The proportions of Guan Gao and Shi Gao in the two counties of Aga, Zheta, and Bei China are about three stones, which is much different from the one stone grain in other regions.
If you follow the low-status samurai 5 Kan Yuroku, you can recruit about 400 such low-level samurai, and of course, the more than 100 samurai of the Date family are already very large.
The number of samurai owned by Shinmi Sadatsune in Kaseki is only this number, and he is also a veteran boss in Aga and Tetsuta counties, and he is much stronger than a new samurai group like Zhengheng.
However, the standing army's Yulu is about 3 to 4 koku, which means that his output of 6,300 koku can get 5,040 koku of rice according to the words of Hachiko and Ernong, and the final output of brown rice is about 4,000 koku, which should be able to 500 to 700 standing ashigaru in addition to the Yulu that supports more than 100 low-level samurai.
If you also include the standard weapons and sufficient equipment for the maintenance of these people, it is difficult to ensure this scale.
The problem of ordnance seized a lot of haphazard but usable troops, more than enough to equip a thousand people, and even obtained the cowhide armor and sophisticated swords that the samurai needed in the bloodthirsty mountain castle, in addition to enough spears.
Although they are all ordinary short guns, the length of the twelve spears used by Oda Nobunaga in Masahiro's impression is a bit insufficient.
Zheng Heng's fingers kept tapping on his knees, his face was calm as if there was no change, he was thinking about the question of recruiting troops, he opened his mouth and asked: "After this battle was completed, the territory of the Date family has more than doubled, there are several more castles, and there are a lot of materials and property, and even 3,000 stone of brown rice in Dezhong Temple, thousands of copper coins and a large number of weapons reserves in Stone Crab Mountain City, and even Stone Crab Mountain Castle, a bridgehead for expansion to Motokawa Township, Zheduo County, There were not many deaths in the battle, but there were many who were injured and could not participate in the battle, although the soldiers of Kawasaki and Omatsu were increased, but the number of troops at home was not enough, and it was even much less than before the war, I don't know what you think? ”
Noyama Yoshichao's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "That's right, if it weren't for the lack of troops, Toyonaga wouldn't have to risk using a risky strategy in the first battle, if it weren't for Ueki Hidezi's anger and resentment, once he fell into a siege and desperate situation, the consequences would be unimaginable." ”
Everyone nodded yes, and the problem of troop constraints had surfaced. If it weren't for the fact that he knew the weakness of the Date army, the Tokushiji Kucheng would not have bullied others, and it would have been impossible for Shi Crab Shouyuan to jump into the battle circle and fight with him. It was precisely by seeing the number of Ashigaru of the Date Army that they saw their advantage, and as long as they won the battle, they would be able to achieve the final victory. Of course, the discipline and training intensity of the Tongshan people are higher than that of the peasant soldiers, but the Tongshan people have only been in the army for more than half a month, and they have no time and energy to train.
These standing troops from the Tongshan people are not much different from the peasant soldiers, and if Zhengheng is given enough time and energy, he will definitely be able to train a team of ten in half a year.
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Zhengheng looked at Akagi Kaohsiung and said, "Akagi, how is the land inspection work done, and what is the approximate proportion of the population in the territory?" ”
Akagi Takao was in charge of the land inspection work and census population in the territory during this time, due to the small scale of the territory, one person was enough, and the help of more than a dozen low-level samurai who had skimmed a few books was barely almost, he opened an account book and said: "The land inspection work is very smooth, because the Osakabe River used to be the territory of the Date family, the scale of the common people has not changed much in the past ten years due to the war, and the number of farmland is only not much new land has been cultivated, and it has not been damaged when attacking the Irene Nest Mountain Castle, It's just that some farmland was artificially damaged in the first battle of Stone Crab Mountain City, and Kusama Village was also damaged, and it was roughly able to produce about ninety percent of the harvest, about 2,100 yuan.
Due to the frequent escape of Stone Crab Village, the actual population is about 3,000 if you don't include Stone Crab Village, and if you add the resident population of Stone Crab Village, it should be more than 4,000 people. ”
Zheng Heng nodded, did not speak, looked at Noyama Yosaki, and asked, "I don't know what the charter was when I went to war before?" ”
As soon as Noyama Yoshitomo heard that the Date family had become a 2,100 guan national hero from scratch, he was quite excited, he was an important minister who served the Date family for three generations, and he knew that even if Date Soheng was the strongest, he would only occupy most of the two sides of the Kosakabe River and less than 800 knots, his heart was full of excitement, and he said with a question and answer: "Yes, the previous practice was to draw Ding according to the proportion of the population, about one out of three people, and about 3,000 to 4,000 people can draw about 1,200 people." "The 1,200 people mentioned by Noyama Masatomo are not the standing guards in the understanding of the political balance, but the miscellaneous soldiers who go out to fight when they are about to fight.
Zhengheng groaned: "How do these 1,200 people usually train? ”
It was still Noyama Masato who replied: "Gather for drills every five days, half a day at a time." According to each person's specialty, it is divided into foot combat and bow and arrow. Foot combat practice spear drill and hand-to-hand combat; Maruki practice shooting with a bow. ”
Practice once every five days, half a day at a time. There are only three days of training in a month, what can be learned? According to Zhengheng's idea, it is better to train every day, but this is obviously not possible. Even if it is a farmer's slack, after all, the peasant soldiers are not always prepared, and if they come every day, it will not take more than two days, and they will definitely complain.
And it is self-evident how the ability of the peasants and soldiers trained in this way is, looking at the enemies defeated by Zhengheng, you can see that one or two can be seen, it is simply a touch of collapse, if it were not for the Shi Crab clan, known as the virtuous marquis, Renjun, Dezhong, Temple, dry and evil, full of interests, it would not have been possible to collapse without a battle.
Looking at Hideki Ueki's conquest coalition forces, you can see how effective they are, although Noyama Masatomo and Taoshan Shinbei are suspected of cheating, but it can also be seen that Ueki Hideshi's conquest coalition forces are incompetent.
Kawasaki Yorihiro suddenly knew that his opportunity had come, and he suddenly took two steps on his knees and bowed: "Your Highness, after several battles in Kusama, hasn't Your Highness noticed it yet?" ”
