As for the account problems that Ishida Mitsunari worked so hard to find out, Tieshou Honshu only made two dismissals and reductions, four people were transferred to idleness, one person was publicly reprimanded, and five people were privately warned.

For the royal merchants and the county generations, it can be said that the thunder is heavy and the rain is small.

But Tie Tsutsu himself felt that there was no thunder in the first place.

Explain to the outside world that sending Ina Tadaji and Nagashu Masaka to Kanto is a normal order, and asking the newcomer to sort out the financial and tax information is to prepare for the next expedition.

This topic is undoubtedly more eye-catching than "auditing".

Now that the western country, Shikoku,, Hokuriku, Tokai, and Kanto have mostly settled down, I dare not say that I can sit back and relax, at least under the deterrence of the Ishoi Inner Government, no one will jump out to find a fight in the short term.

When it comes to the "next expedition", the only two destinations are Kyushu and Tohoku.

In this way, the problem of "running away from the public" can also be solved by the way.

After that, it is very likely that a new samurai regime will be officially established, and the reward arrangement that will come with it!

In other words, it is the last chance to capture the flag and show off your skills.

For a long time to come, there will probably be no large-scale wars in the world. This is probably good news for those who use hoes, abacus, pen and ink, and Buddhist beads, but it is the opposite for those who rely on swords to eat.

If you don't take the opportunity to earn a pension, what should you do in the future?

There are some extraordinarily intelligent and sensitive samurai who may have roughly understood the expected future plans of the Heite Inner Mansion, and most of them should not understand it for the time being.

But in any case, power, status, and wealth must be exchanged for merit, which is well known to the world.

There is no doubt about the enthusiasm of the Quartet heroes to actively invite the battle.

But—

At the time of Odawara's expedition last year, Heite Honhide only made all-round and proper preparations for his own direct troops, but he overestimated the organization and logistical ability of the princes in various places, so much so that he encountered a lot of trouble on a snowy day.

Now that lessons have been learned, a draft has been deliberately developed.

It was stipulated that in the future, when the daimyo of the outer kind were ordered to go on an expedition, the size and composition of the forces of each faction would be determined according to the distance from the assembly point and the number of Zhixing in the territory.

Within three days, the neighbors were to send 200 soldiers and 60 men for every 10,000 stones.

Between the three and seven days, 160 soldiers and 80 servants were required for every 10,000 stones.

Between the 7th and 15th days, 130 soldiers and 100 servants were required for every 10,000 stones.

Between the fifteenth and the thirtieth day, one hundred soldiers and one hundred and twenty servants were required for every 10,000 stones.

Those who have exceeded 30 days are generally not required to go on the expedition. If an order is received under special circumstances, 60 soldiers and 140 servants are required for every 10,000 stones.

Of course, the distance figure is not measured by each company and then declared, but by the central government to give the result after calculation. If it's absolutely wrong, it can be discussed.

All "soldiers" must be men over the age of fourteen and under the age of fifty, possess at least a hat, adequate or higher armor, and possess at least one of the weapons of a spear, a bow and arrow, a sword, an iron cannon, or the necessities of a flag or drum. If the age or gender does not meet the requirements but they are really capable of fighting, the requirements can be relaxed, but the equipment requirements cannot be relaxed.

The servants, on the other hand, were more than capable of transporting baggage, setting up tents, managing livestock, preserving arrows and ammunition, and even lighting fires for cooking if necessary. In principle, there is a standard of "being able to carry two and a half buckets of rice (about 65 catties) by manpower", but it is not rigid.

The standard of supply is eight grains (about 1 kg) per soldier per day, and six grains (about 0.8 kg) per soldier per day.

The situation of the backward military organization of the daimyo and the lack of distinction between soldiers and auxiliaries cannot be solved by relying on their conscious voluntariness for a while, so they will rely on orders to force the promotion.

At the same time, it can also promote the process of "separation of Shi and Nong" from one side, and weaken the resistance of the princes in various places.

At present, the general situation in Fuso is that when the daimyo gives an order, gongs and drums are beaten, all the young and middle-aged people who are not lame or sick in the collar go into battle, and every 10,000 stone corresponds to 600 to 800 peasants and soldiers, and sometimes even more than 1,000.

In other words, a daimyo of 200,000 koku has the ability to pull out a team of about 15,000. Although this kind of team is completely incapable of expeditions, and cannot be assembled during the busy farming period, it is enough to cope with close-range and low-intensity joint battles.

In this way, the distinction between the lower samurai and the wealthy peasants became increasingly blurred. The samurai were so destitute that they had to sell their ancestral property, and their descendants became poor peasants, and even if they still retained the Miao character, they were only ridiculed. The peasants made money from the war, bought a suit of armor and equipment, bought a horse, made up a blood relationship, and became a samurai. This is clearly not conducive to local law and order.

In addition, in order to prevent the difficulty of keeping out the cold in winter (especially in the northeast), Hirate did not plan to take any action throughout the fourth year of Tensho, but announced the schedule of "the generals will be assembled by January 15 of the following year, and the whole army will be assembled by the first day of February" half a year in advance.

It will be divided into two roads.

About half of the troops directly under him, and two-thirds of the daimyo of the outer state, accompanied the inner lord to conquer Kyushu. The other half of the troops directly under the command of the new "Sho 4 Lower Senator" Yoshimitsu Hirate passed through the northeast.

In the entire Ou region, the nearest Ashina, the farthest Tsugaru, both have a very clear attitude. The rest of the people, such as Date, Mogami, and Anton, also sent envoys to Kyoto many times to make friends, and although the likes of Nanbu, Kasai, and Osaki may not seem to be so "knowledgeable", they are relatively not to be worried.

It must be enough to send only the second generation.

Not so on the Kyushu side.

Shimazu was aggressive on the battlefield and also sheltered Ashikaga Yoshiaki. Ryuzoji Temple is obviously not easy to get along with. Otomo is now acting particularly deferentially, but only because the decline is too great. Other small forces, including Akizuki, Aso, and Sagara, are also calling for wind and rain.

After all, there is a big gap between the positioning of these two places.

Compared to Kyoto, it is a border place, and Ou is really poor, and he is not very controlled by the central government, and it is impossible to influence the central government in turn. I'm afraid the last person who came out of there was going back to the source of the Yoshijing.

Kyushu is not the case, where the climate and land are conditional, the agricultural products are not bad, and it has the power of shipping, partial but not poor, remote but not weak, in the Muromachi period, the great power of Kyushu has a certain impact on the overall situation of the world.

Therefore, you must go out in person to rest assured.

The estimated strength includes 20,000 troops from the Guards and Banners, 21,000 from the directly subordinate countries, and 113,000 allied troops from the Western Kingdom, Shikoku,, Tokai, and Hokuriku regions, totaling 154,000 troops. Among them are Hatakeyama Hidetaka and Miyoshi Hidenaga, two children who have been awarded the name of the Gang Yuan Suit.

As for those who went to Okuyu, there were 10,000 Qinwei banners, 8,000 new banners in Kanto, 13,000 directly under the country, 10,000 in the Kanto Sinna, 18,000 in the alliance of the Hokuriku and East China Sea princes, and 30,000 in the new Kanto Guard, totaling 87,000 people.

Suruga Imagawa Hideshi is on the list, and Tsunehide deliberately wants Yoshimitsu to deal with this genius brother.

When the military strategic arrangements were issued, the troops were naturally gearing up to wait for the day not to mention it.

Those forces that are about to be defeated must also be ready to prove their determination with their swords.

The only one who is impatient is Otomo Yoshijin.

He happened to be almost old, and he gave up the governor of the family to his son Yitong, and after shaving his ordination, he rushed to Kyoto in person, crying with tears in his eyes about what happened to his family.

It seems that now Shimazu, Ryuzoji, Tsukushi, and Akizuki have reached a tacit agreement to advance and retreat together, and they will carve up his territory together, and now except for his hometown Bungo Country, none of the outside territory can be saved.

Seeing a lewd and greasy bald uncle like Xianglin's sister-in-law, he felt disgusted that he couldn't get rid of, so he only let Hosokawa Fujitaka and Tiger Ya Soyi deal with it on their behalf, and they deduced that they were busy with various important affairs of the government and the opposition, except for the first time, they basically did not meet in person.

And I can't help but think of Okuha's Tsugaru letter.

That "beautiful bearded man" is really a character. The journey of thousands of miles to the Kanto region led to a big mistake in the war in the rear, and after successive defeats, less than one-third of the sphere of influence remained, and the rest was occupied by the armies of the southern and Andong families. When he returns in a few months, he will only be able to hold on, but will not be able to reverse the situation.

But this person was not in a hurry at all, and he still wrote in a tone of "As long as the soldiers of the Inner Mansion are coming, how can such a young person be worried".

It can't help but feel amazing.

Otomo Yoshizhen was in charge of the six countries of Kitakyushu more than ten years ago, and only the sphere of influence and the number of troops, not to mention political influence, I am afraid that it is stronger than the "quasi-world" Miyoshi Changqing at that time.

Today, however, the amount of money shown today is far less than that of the small landowners in this most remote part of the Tsugaru.
