Ueda Nobukata didn't talk too much about these things, but just asked him to preside over the construction of the iron cannon.

He continued to watch his soldiers train, and at the same time began to promote some private goods, such as hatred for the Takeda family and loyalty to the Ueda family.

At first, it didn't have much effect, but after a long time and more times, the brain will be washed.

Because Ueda Nobukata just chose Ashigaru training, all the samurai followed to rest, so Ueda Nobukata did not jump out against Ashigaru when he advertised.

In fact, the ashigaru belong to the kind of mother who has milk, and they are not loyal to the main family to the end like the samurai.

Of course, there are also a few like Nobukata Ueda.

When Ueda Nobukata was training Ashigaru, Satomi Youzu had already brought people to bring today's meals, which were made by Satomi Youzu with the women in the city.

As the wife and concubine of Ueda Nobukata, the samurai woman is not just responsible for the appearance of the flower and the moon.

What Satomi Tsuzu did should have been led by Mrs. Masamuro, but Nobukata Ueda did not have Mrs. Masamuro, so it was Satomi Youzu who took the lead for the time being.

Not only did Satomi take people to help cook the food, but they also had to pickle the heads cut off by the enemy after the war.

Therefore, it is not possible to become a samurai's main lady, even if it is a side room, without guts.

And these things are cultivated from a young age.

Ueda Nobukata looked at Satomi Youzu, took the bento from her hand, and said with a smile: "It's really hard for you, it won't be very boring to let you do such a thing, right?" ”

Satomi shook her head and said, "No, I have done such a thing in Kofu, and I am used to it." ”

Ueda Nobukata opened the lid of the bento, smelled the aroma of the food, and couldn't help but say, "I can't imagine that Satomi, your cooking skills are so good, I feel like you can do too much, go to the battlefield, and go to the kitchen." ”

Satomi said angrily, "Let's eat your meal!" She remembered that she was captured by Ueda Nobukata on the battlefield, and she was a little ashamed, but she was also angry when she saw that Ueda Nobukata was eating happily.

Bento is not something that appeared in modern times, and it was common in the Warring States period. And it was passed down from the Song Dynasty to the book.

In the Battle of Shiojiri, Nishimaki Nobumichi ate for a day on the pretext of eating a bento box, and refused to send more troops to Ogasawara Nagatoki.

In addition, there is also the Prime Minister's empty bento, which was historically used to mock Mori Hidemoto, the eldest son of Mori Motosa's fourth son, Hoida Motokiyo, and Mori Hidemoto's official position at that time was "Prime Minister" (different from the official position of the Chinese Prime Minister).

Historically, Hiroie Yoshikawa and Mori Hidemoto were sent to fight in Sekigahara, while Mori Terumoto was in charge of Osaka Castle.

Yoshikawa believed that the Western Army would not be able to win and that the Mori family would perish due to the war, so he communicated with Tokugawa Ieyasu and expressed neutrality in the hope that the Mori family would retain their territory after the war.

As a result, the Yoshikawa Hiroke as the vanguard blocked in front of the troops of Mori Hidemoto, Chomune Ibu Morikin, Nagashu Masaie, and Ankokuji Huiqiong, and as long as he did not move, the troops behind could not move forward.

Because the Yoshikawa Hiro family was subordinate to the Mori family, Mori Hidemoto repeatedly ordered it to charge but it didn't work, and he didn't want the troops behind him to know that the Mori family couldn't command the Yoshikawa Hiro family and lost morale, so he reluctantly made up the excuse that "our army was eating bento boxes and couldn't attack" and didn't move.

Because the Mori Honjin did not move, a series of troops were unable to participate in the battle, which indirectly affected the defection of the friendly army Kobayakawa (Kobayakawa was subordinate to the Mori, and the attitude of the Honjin was ambiguous, not to mention his army), and finally the Western Army was defeated.

However, the Tokugawa family finally violated the covenant with Yoshikawa, did not spare the Mori family, reduced the Maori family, but praised the Yoshikawa Hiroshi family, and transferred the conflict between the Mori family and the Yoshikawa family, which is a good move.

Because of these strategic failures, Mori Hidemoto's excuses on the battlefield became a laughing stock among the princes, and the "empty lunch box of the prime minister" was used as a metaphor for hesitation and indecision in the face of problems.

Ueda Nobukata ate the bento made by Satomi and said, "It's going to take a while for you to be busy, I'm afraid you'll be busy until February next year." ”

Satomi nodded and said, "Are you going to go out at that time?" Where to hit? ”

Ueda Nobukata did not hide it either, and said, "First take down Kitasa-gun, which Takeda Harunobu has not yet fully mastered."

The Oi family has already taken refuge in Oi Sadakei, although he hopes to restore the strength of the Oi family in Kitasaku County with the help of me.

But it's just that we use each other, although the Oi family has Komoro and Otori and other families, but the Iwamurata Oi family, which is the main family, is still in the hands of Takeda.

They will definitely not be convinced by a split head of the family, as long as they provoke a little, they can make the Oi family split up and go their own way.

Having said so much, it's still a little troublesome, and if you want to take your time, it's up to Qingxin Gong to give her a chance. ”

Satomi said expressionlessly: "If he knew, he would never give you a chance." ”

Ueda Nobukata smiled dumbly and said, "I'm afraid that Harunobu will be angry and attack me with all his might, and all the credit will be wasted." ”

Satomi frowned and said, "But you don't look scared at all." ”

After eating the last bit of food in the lunch box, Ueda Nobukata said with a smile: "Haruminobu is a very calm person, how I toss, it's just a disease of scabies."

Once he takes the Ogasawara family, he can continue to take refuge in the remaining Hokkushinano wealthy clans, and when the Murakami family and other diehards are destroyed, no matter how I toss, I will not be able to resist the general trend of the world. ”

Satomi put away the lunch box and said, "I hope you have good luck." ”

Ueda Nobukata nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will surprise everyone in the world." "The world here is Shinano.

After Satomi left Youzu, Ueda Nobukata slowly stood up and walked out of the house, and most of the scenery outside was covered with snowflakes.

Now there are tiny snowflakes falling, and the ashigaru people are standing in the open space eating rice balls.

In order to allow the ashigaru to have enough strength to train, Ueda Nobukata specially bought meat mixed with rice balls, and these rice balls were soaked in salt water thick enough.

If his place was near the sea, he would use the salt drying method to make a batch of coarse salt, and then refine it, whether it was for his own people to eat or to do business, it would be a sharp weapon with no benefit.

Now he only has 800 guan zhixingdi, that is, 4,000 stone (according to the conversion of 5 stone according to the consistent equal). If he hadn't smuggled iron cannons, he would never have dared to raise so many ashigaru.

In such a small place, he felt that he should reward Yazaki Heizou with a hundred stones and make him his retainer, but he didn't know if Murakami Yoshikiyo would release him.

Thank you Tony Naith for 500 rewards, and thank you for 100 rewards for fishing songs by Dongting Lake! In the previous chapters, the main character's name was changed.
