- Alessandro Barrico (considered the most world-renowned Italian writer after Calvino and Eco)

"My lord, the three city lords of Nanbu Nobunao, Sanada Masayuki, and Izumiyama Kokan have settled their troops and are waiting for your summons outside the assessment room. Bai Feng, who was deep in thought, had been staring blankly at the map, but Thales, who was guarding the door, came in.

"Well, let them in. "Since the arrival of the Roman army in the port of Kunohe, in order to adapt to the customs of the Yamato Empire and to maintain the mystery of the Roman city, all Roman soldiers have been ordered to change the title of Hakuho from the governor to the lord.

The vast majority of ordinary soldiers rarely had the opportunity to talk to Bai Feng, only the soldiers of the Guards Battalion and Bai Feng's own retinue followed Bai Feng all day long, so this order was actually aimed at them.

......As soon as the wooden door of the assessment room was opened, Sanada Masayuki and Quanshan Koyasu, who were dressed in military uniforms, walked into the assessment room behind Nanbu Shinao; the three of them came to Bai Feng's side, immediately knelt down and saluted: "Lord!"

"I have summoned you here this time because I have important matters to discuss with you, but before I can discuss these matters, I have two more things to announce, you should first sit in your place, and I will begin today's assessment when the other two come. ”

"Hey!" Nanbu Nobunao, who had been talking with the governor for a long time last night, naturally knew what the main content of today's assessment was, but who were the other two people who needed to wait? Could it be Sanada Masayuki's two sons?

Nanbu Shinao, who didn't dare to easily speculate about the thoughts of the family governor, just sat in his place peacefully; Sanada Masayuki and Izumiyama Koyasu, who were also puzzled, didn't even know the content of today's assessment, so naturally they didn't have any ideas.

In the silent assessment room, Bai Feng was still concentrating on checking the map, and the three of them were also sitting in their places thoughtfully, until Thales at the door walked in again: "Lord, the two generals, Sanada Nobuyuki and Sanada Nobuyoshi, have arrived." ”

"Let them in. Hearing Thales' report, Bai Feng, whose eyes had not taken off the map, finally raised his head and explained with a smile to the other three city lords who were looking at each other: "What is going to be announced today is related to these two generals. ”

"Lord!" Before the shocked Nanbu Nobunao and the others could react, Sanada Nobuyuki and Sanada Nobuyoshi, who were dressed in black uniforms, strode into the assessment room, and after saluting Bai Feng very respectfully, they sat down in the lower positions under Bai Feng's wave.

Previously, when Sanada Nobuyuki and Sanada Nobuyoshi were the commanders of the nine household garrisons, the uniforms they wore had always been the red armor of the Sanada family, but now they were suddenly replaced with brand new black chain mail, which made it impossible for Nanbu Nobunao and the other three to think about it too much.

You must know that the equipment of the Yamato Empire did not have well-made chain mail, and ordinary ashigaru soldiers generally used bamboo armor and leather armor, and the samurai of higher status also used dou armor, and chain mail belonged to all the equipment of the overseas army under the command of the governor.

"Now that everyone has arrived, let's officially start today's assessment, Xinzhi, Changxing, and Gukang, I think you should have found the army brought by Xinxing and Xinfan outside the city just now, and their number is the Yanhuang Standing Army. ”

"Yanhuang Standing Army?!" Nanfang Xinzhi and the other three immediately exclaimed.

"Yes, it's the Yanhuang Standing Army. This new army, composed of 10,000 elite soldiers, will be the first standing army directly under our Yanhuang family, and two generals, Sanada Nobuyuki and Sanada Nobuyoshi, are the commanders of this standing army directly under it. ”

"Lord, Sanada Nobuyuki and Sanada Nobuyhiro are just young people with no actual combat experience, they are not capable of commanding the elite division under the command of the lord, and I hope that the lord will take back his life, and don't let them damage the prestige of the family army!"

The only person who can stand up on such an occasion and bluntly point out the shortcomings of Sanada Nobuyuki and Sanada Nobuyu is their father, Sanada Masayuki; it is not that Sanada Masayuki does not want his sons to have a career, but that he is worried that his sons are incompetent.

Rather than being punished by the governor for losing to the enemy on the battlefield, it is better to shirk this seemingly glorious appointment as soon as possible, and Sanada Masayuki, who loves his son deeply, has to risk being reprimanded and punished by the governor to stand up and push down the appointment for his two sons.

"Changxing, I know that you think that your son is too young to take on such a heavy responsibility, but your two sons are better than you think, give me half a month, and I will ask for facts to prove what I said today.

In half a month's time, if Sanada Nobuyuki and Sanada Nobuyoshi cannot produce convincing military exploits, I will agree to revoke their appointments, and if Sanada Nobuyuki and Sanada Nobuyori can produce convincing military exploits, I hope you can trust them as much as I do. ”

"This ...... Hey!" What else could Sanada Masayuki, who was filled with emotion in his heart, say in the face of such a promise? He had no choice but to agree with the governor's decision, and glanced at his two sons with very meaningful eyes.

Compared with Sanada Masayuki's worries about his two sons, Nanbu Nobunao and Izumiyama Koyasu on the side were envious of Sanada Masayuki's good fortune, and their sons did not have the good luck of Sanada Nobuyuki and Sanada Nobuyoshige, and could be favored by the family governor.

"Shinnao, Kokang, you two don't have to envy Changxing, it's not his ability to have a son, after today's assessment, you will let your respective sons lead fifty samurai to my personal guard camp, the opportunity is not only for the Sanada family. ”

"Hey!" Nanbu Nobunao and Izumiyama Koyasu, who were still envious of Sanada Masayuki, immediately agreed with excitement on their faces when they heard the governor say this, and in their opinion, it was an extremely honorable thing for their son to be able to follow the governor.

"Alright, there is no need to say more about the appointment of Sanada Nobuyuki and Sanada Nobuyori as commanders of the Yanhuang Standing Army, and now I want to announce the second thing: in the next month, our Yanhuang family's goal is to complete the unification of Mutsu Province!

The Spo clan in the south of Mutsu Province and the Tsugaru clan in the northwest are the targets that our Yanhuang clan must conquer within a month, and the purpose of my summoning you today is to discuss with you the military plan to attack the Spo family and the Tsugaru family. ”

"Lord, with the current strength of our Yanhuang family, is it too anxious to unify the Mutsu Kingdom within a month? Even if neither the Spo family nor the Tsugaru family are our opponents, it will be difficult for us to wage war against these two families at the same time!"

"My lord, I also think that what the Sanada Castle Lord said is very reasonable, with the strength of our Yanhuang family, it is completely possible to conquer the Spo family and the Tsugaru family one by one within two to three months, there is really no need to wage war against these two families at the same time. ”

Nanbu Nobunao, who had long been familiar with the situation of the Spo family, sat in his place without saying a word, while Sanada Masayuki and Izumiyama Koyasu, who were still unaware of the situation, advised Bai Feng's decision with their own judgment.
