"Come on, come on, add another drink to Suzukiden! We didn't dare to bring in the wine, so we had to pay our respects with tea. ”

"You're polite, on such a cold day, it's really comfortable to drink some hot soup here in Songshan Palace."

"It should be, it should be! What are you guys doing? Hurry up and help Suzuki Hall take off the hat and coat and dry it! ”

"No, no, I can't rest all the time, after all, I still came here with orders."

“……”

The atmosphere in the tent suddenly froze.

Matsuyama Shigeharu sighed softly helplessly, got up a few steps, lifted the curtain, pointed to the sky outside and explained, "In this kind of weather, let the brothers be more vigilant? I really can't speak, can you be accommodating? ”

Suzuki Hidemoto didn't need to look at it to know that the sky was cloudy and rainy, and the sun and moon were dark, but the responsibility was on his body, so he could only come hard: "It's really difficult, but anyway, the Lord of the Criminal Department has an order, and I just convey it in the middle, and I don't have the authority to be accommodating." ”

"Of course, I don't dare to have the slightest doubt about the Lord of the Criminal Department." Matsuyama Shigeji said something unpleasant, but put on a bitter face: "However, in this weather, it is impossible for the enemy army to attack!" Even if it is true that the general of the Eastern Army is crazy, if he has to act, it will definitely be very slow, and we will only send a few scouts to patrol, and it will be completely too late to assemble after receiving the news. ”

"This ...... This one...... This matter, a contemptible person with a hundred people, don't dare to say more. Suzuki Hidemoto pondered for a long time, bowed down, and responded with a respectful and resolute attitude: "Compared to Matsuyama Palace, I am really just a countryman with no talent and knowledge, and I can't make any improvisation judgments, I only know the original execution of orders, please forgive me!" ”

"Suzukiden is really serious." Matsuyama Shigeharu leaned down and pleaded, "Please understand, this is really a bit embarrassing......"

"So, I'm also embarrassed by you doing this!" Suzuki Hidemoto also fell to the ground, but refused to let a word.

Matsuyama Shinsukeemon Shigeji, as an exemplary high-ranking general, was given 6,000 stone zhixing, and was a powerful general commanding 1,400 soldiers, with 250 private troops by his side.

Suzuki Kobei Hidemoto, who was born in an Owari farming family, carried a gun in place of the Hirate clan for four consecutive years, and now has 450 koku, serving as the agent of the head of the guard, temporarily leading 150 soldiers, and 20 private soldiers.

Originally, there was a huge disparity in status.

However, according to the unspoken rule of "one door is raised by one order by default, and the pro-guard public and the close Xi public are raised by two orders by default", it can also be said that the identities of the two are roughly the same, at most half a level apart.

From his background, Matsuyama Shigeji belongs to the "three good generals", this faction is headed by Iwanari Yutong and Ataka Nobuyasu, it seems that it is very powerful, it is very important, and it is married to a sect, but with a heavy historical burden, it is always inevitable to be apprehensive and walk on thin ice. Especially after repeated accidents at home.

And Suzuki Hidemoto is undoubtedly "Owari Hara", who has some relationship with the Hattori brothers and Asano Nagayoshi, and he also has a familiar face in front of everyone. This group of people does not seem to be very ambitious, and few of them have risen to high positions, but in fact, they occupy more than half of the voice of the lower levels, and they are the "public opinion" that cannot be ignored.

If you really want to argue, the latter only needs to say, "Where were you when Lao Tzu was born and died?" "It can make the former speechless.

Matsuyama Shigeji is definitely not a person who prohibits orders and governs the army strictly, and he doesn't have the ability to let the soldiers brave the heavy rain and step on the mud to patrol as soon as he gives an order, and he has to come forward to lead the team in person in order to barely suppress the army's heart. If it weren't for the jealousy of the comrade in front of him from the guards, he would have been reluctant to suffer this sin.

Suzuki Hidemoto may not be so loyal to his duties, love and dedication, but in the middle of the night after receiving the command, he didn't dare to disobey, and after rushing in the rain overnight, he didn't dare to complain about the Lord of the Criminal Department, and only thought about borrowing the order from the top to deliberately toss the outsiders. In fact, he did not feel that this kind of weather made it necessary to prepare for war and strengthen his precautions.

The two sides each pretended to complain and bargained for a while, and finally the child brought by Suzuki Hidemoto interjected regardless of his identity: "His Royal Highness Matsuyama! Our family was ordered, but they came to you from this camp overnight, regardless of the wind and rain! Are your soldiers more honorable than my lords? Or do you despise the orders of the Punishment Department? ”

As soon as these words came out, Suzuki Hidemoto pretended to be angry and scolded: "Toranosuke, what are you talking about!" ”

But the heart is full of joy.

Matsuyama Shigeji had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "In this case, after you finish drinking this bowl of tea and the sky is a little brighter, the contemptible person will personally take people out of the camp to inspect!" It's okay now, right? ”

"I'm so sorry!" Suzuki Hidemoto smiled calmly and gave a salute, and then picked up the tea bowl and drank it all: "You really deserve to be the pillar general of our tie family!" ”

"Okay...... Rokubei get me guy! Hikojuro hurried to inform the whole team! What are you still doing! Are you blind at a young age? ”

Matsuyama Shigeji pointed at Sang and scolded, venting his temper on his subordinates, and his face was full of displeasure.

A quarter of an hour later—

Not surprisingly, what awaits him is a man full of complaints and a boiling army.

Four generals, thirteen heads, more than 40 team heads, more than 140 group leaders, and 1,300 soldiers barely formed a few lazy and loose teams, surrounding Matsuyama Shigeji.

They didn't even whisper their complaints, but expressed their dissatisfaction at a moderate volume.

"What the hell!"

"Is this weather war funny?"

"The general has a fever in the rain."

"It's so uncomfortable to be wet and cold!"

"The ground is full of mud!"

"Ouch just said I slipped to ......"

"It's hard to pull out your shoes."

"In this weather, even farmers won't go out, right?"

"yes, what are you doing as a soldier?"

……

At this time, the degree of rain has gradually decreased, and the sky is slowly half-light, and it is no longer a pitch black that you can't reach.

All sorts of remarks can gradually vaguely sink into Matsuyama's ears. It made him both embarrassed and a little angry - didn't Lao Tzu's dignified six-thousand-stone warrior honestly come out to get drenched in the rain and step on the mud? You have a bigger opinion than I do?

Originally, he was forced to go out of the battle reluctantly, but looking at this situation without military discipline, he suddenly felt that it might be good to have a few similar exercises.

So Matsuyama Shigeharu wiped the rain from his face, cleared his throat, and shouted in a loud voice: "Everyone! The enemy's Oda Bullet is a person who is good at surprise attacks! So we have to go to the main section of the river crossing to patrol it! Keep your mouth shut from now on! Do you want me to talk about the situation now?! Whether it will be rich or bad in the future depends on today! At this time, if you have a little ambition, just behave like a man to Lao Tzu! Alright, let's go! Nakamura will go first with your reserve! Noda, you're last! The others follow my banner! ”

After speaking, he gave orders to the generals and fans.

I don't know how it worked, but at least the sound of the ear-to-ear exchange was much quieter. Although everyone was reluctant, procrastinating, and listless, they could be regarded as honestly carrying out the order.

In the end, when the Standing Army was set up, it was carefully considered, and great attention was paid to administrative and personnel management, logistical support, and arrangements for discharge, so that the fighting spirit, initiative, and execution of the soldiers were slightly stronger than those of conscripts of the same era.

"Staying in the army and serving as a flag book, you have a lucrative and respected status, as well as the possibility of promotion, as well as back-up security. But once they disobey the order and are expelled, they can only return to their original status as half-soldiers and half-civilians. This view has gradually taken root in the area centered on Izumi.

In addition, Matsuyama Shigeharu is a general above the qualified line, his command is not too bad, the rewards and punishments are relatively fair, and he is willing to charge ahead, so he has a certain prestige.

Since he himself was armed and struggled to move through the muddy water, rather than lying in his tent and enjoying himself, the soldiers were able to keep up.

"The target is northeast, and two days ago the scouts reported that there might be traces of a pontoon bridge being built there, and we went there to guard it. The place you should know is the opposite side of the abandoned Ryunoji Temple-"

Matsuyama Shigeharu gave the task to Nakamura Takatsu, the number one subordinate who was one step ahead, and the latter silently led the people forward without saying a word. Not even a word like "follow me", because this guy has always relied on heroic actions rather than shouting slogans to build a sense of existence.

It just complements the shortcomings of Matsuyama Shigeharu who is good at communication and lacks force.

Suzuki Hidemoto, who was temporarily acting as a "supervisor" on the side, couldn't help but nod - it was just a matter of making things difficult with the intention of "finding some trouble for outsiders", but now that I look at it, I feel a little proud of the Hitomi family.

This kind of bad weather—although the rain seems to have lightened a little, but the mud has not been eliminated at all—and being able to walk out of the camp so easily according to orders must be regarded as a rare elite soldier in the world, right?

With this mood, Suzuki Hidemoto watched the friendly army walk for a long time, came back to his senses, and suddenly felt that he was a little too villain - obviously in such a strong Hirate group, how could he always think about some local outsiders and other things? I should be a little more ambitious.

Of course, the Eastern Army's Oda Danmasa is not an easy person to deal with......

Suzuki Hidemoto didn't feel that the other party was the old master and had a psychological shadow. He had never been a direct minister of the Oda family, and the Oda family was not a famous family that had been in charge of Owari for generations, so there was almost no name between the two sides.

If anything, a few decades ago, the Hirate clan and the Oda clan were both pursued by the Spo family......

He shook his head and thought about it for a long time before he planned to go back to his life.

However, as soon as he turned around, a huge shouting of killing suddenly came from the northeast, which was shocking.
