Chapter XXXVIII
The news of Ishikawa Goemon and his comrades' membership was only known in a small area in the upper echelons of the Heite family. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Kawada Naga is a little skeptical about this, but others are more excited. Ishikawa himself has 500 koku, and his subordinates have another 500 koku, and they promise a high price of 1,000 koku for a gang of thieves, which can only show that after sitting firmly in the Izumi Kingdom, the amount of sealing of each retainer will also be very amazing.
Of course, Kawada's doubts are also justified. Ishikawa himself is a hero, and he can complete some difficult tasks under certain circumstances, but his group is really not easy to settle. If you use it as an ordinary ashigaru, the training and discipline are not enough, and you can't reach the professional level as a ninja. On the bright side, the moral sense of the Ishikawa party is higher than that of ordinary wild samurai, but correspondingly, they generally have a kind of "hoe the strong and help the weak" chivalry complex, which is a typical anti-system and anti-collective mentality, and it is also a tendency to be disgusted with order and like chaos. Signs similar to this are clearly not suitable for an obedient army.
After thinking about it for a while, he finally decided that if things went well, he would appoint these dozens of people as security forces patrolling the countryside. The Rogue Complex obviously has more benefits than disadvantages for grassroots Eagle Claw, and can greatly strengthen their sense of responsibility and justice.
At the same time, it can also prevent the lowest officials from bullying and oppressing the people. Previously, there were less than 40 villages under the rule of Heide Tsuhide, and they could still be inspected one by one, but there were more than 300 villages in Hequan Kingdom, and there were more than 200 in addition to those led by Youli, and there was bound to be a certain degree of unobstructed government decrees. And these "heroes" of the Ishikawa party will be a big deterrent to unscrupulous officials.
Of course, relying solely on the words of these people may lead to a slide to the other extreme, and the phenomenon of distributing according to the situation is obviously also something that the reactionaries of the landlord class are not happy about. Therefore, another force is also needed to neutralize it. You can send some second sons and third sons who are born in samurai families but have ordinary and unpromising futures. If you meet this condition, you should be able to find one or twenty, and the captain can let Hattori Koheita be the captain, although he has a broken hand, it is more than enough to be a police chief......
Based on this, the company realized that it was necessary to carry out a reform and refinement of the system in order to adapt to the larger stage. The most important thing is the organizational structure of the retainers......
As soon as I thought of this, I fell into deep thought, and I couldn't even take care of sleeping.
First of all, there should be a clear command or cabinet organ, and it doesn't matter what the name is. This agency needs to be permanent, and the personnel must be on standby at all times, and should not be easily dispatched. In general, it is lower than the power of the ordinary "important minister evaluation committee", but it is higher than the ordinary "closer".
Of course, Kawada Naga will be in it, he has held various positions in the past ten years, and almost all of them can get excellent results. Therefore, the most suitable person should be a deputy general, responsible for the complicated affairs that Fan Xiu himself does not want or has no time to pay attention to, mainly financial arrangements and grassroots personnel. It is also necessary to be prepared to substitute for the expedition under certain circumstances.
Honda Masanobu cannot be ruled out either. For some unspeakable reasons, Fan Xiu is reluctant to let him take the actual power, but it's absolutely no problem to be the mastermind. In addition, the task of being a diplomat can also be entrusted to him, at least the last mission to Matsunaga's house was well accomplished.
Numata Yumitsu is proficient in military science, also understands etiquette and feng shui, and has a relationship with Kyoto, so the army formation drill and the official reception to the outside world are handed over to him. It's a great position, but once he runs away, there will be no fatal problems.
Although Asano Nagayoshi is not particularly knowledgeable, he is quite quick and wise, and his personal relationship is also good, and he can entrust him with various general affairs, similar to the secretary general or the chief of staff in the 21st century.
Next, if the pacification of Izumi goes well, perhaps one of the three good old generals and the people of Izumi should be selected, and a certain amount of power should also be given to show trust. Of course it won't be a power that matters.
After having a power organ, there is also a civil service system, that is, the so-called "followers", and specific personnel are responsible for logistics, taxation, civil affairs, and land inspection. At present, it seems that there is only one qualified senior civil servant, and in fact, many of the tasks are carried out by Kawada, Asano, and others. In the short term, it looks fine, but looking at it today, it is inappropriate to confuse the power organs with the administrative organs.
From now on, we will need to put some effort into the selection process. It is said that in order to let Keiji inherit the eldest brother Hirate Hisahide smoothly, and sent Masuda Nagamori and Hitehideyin over, now that the child has sat firmly, can you also consider transferring it back?
I used to always remember Masuda Nagamori's various undisciplined behaviors during his time in Sekigahara, and I was disgusted. But now maybe it's because I've seen too many undisciplined people, and I'm starting to think if I'm too harsh.
In addition to civilian officials, the military general system also needs to be reorganized.
Nobunaga sent over to Yori, as well as the Mikawa people, who nominally belonged to the shogunate, were obviously not allowed to change their troop size, but to maintain their independence.
On his own side, basically each retainer is responsible for his own soldiers, and there is no domination relationship between them. This was enough in the past, but after entering Izumi, it was necessary to expand the army, and it may also be necessary to form some detachments of several hundred people, led by the Ashigaru Shogun or the Shodai Shogun temporarily.
As for the arrangement of generals, the first choice is the brave and calm Bai Xiang Jiajia, who is currently the most decent general in the Tieshou family. Secondly, it is necessary to consider the Mikawa native Kato Kyoaki, who a few days ago said that he did not want to be in the shogunate and wanted to enter the system of the Hirate family, for which he even gave up the faith of the Ichishu sect, and he could not praise this kind of behavior, but he could secretly reward him. In addition, in terms of qualifications and ability, he is also sufficient. There is also Keikan Hita, although he joined just now, he may not stay for a long time, but his status as a "disciple of Kamiizumi Shintsuna" is enough to get a seat.
Hattori Koheita and Hirano Nagaharu were physically limited and unable to fight, so they simply clarified the identity of the weapon teacher. Nakamura Issei, who insisted on retiring, taught ninjutsu. Keikane Uta can also take care of this. But just now it has been decided that Xiaoping is too responsible for security...... Well, further coordination is needed.
Nakamura Kazushi and Hattori Hideyasu each led a team of ninja soldiers, the former is more capable, and the latter is better in seniority and popularity, so it doesn't seem suitable for anyone to take the lead. Ishikawa Goemon's ability in this area may be more than the two, but a newcomer can't be too heavy......
There is also a direct flag book composed of off-duty soldiers, and there is no commander, or the commander is concurrently served by Hirate Tsunohide himself. This can be done using the "advanced system," and both combat units and logistics units are grouped with about 10 people, three groups as a team, and three teams as one team, plus the head and some necessary personnel, each team is about 100 people. Then three times for one preparation, one equipment general, three preparations for one potential, one general for the service, three potentials for an army, one army general. It is estimated that an "army" is about 3,000 soldiers. If you go up, you don't have to worry about it first, and it is estimated that you won't need it before the reunification of Fuso.
At present, the main officers of Flag are Naotoro Ii, Masashige Honda, and Kikin Kawada. In the future, people like Kazutoyo Yamauchi and Yoshiharu Horio who have no foundation can also be added.
Thinking of the arrival of the Ji samurai, Hirate Honshu suddenly felt as if he had forgotten something.
Ah!
It seems that at noon today, I hinted to her that I would do something very special tonight......
Ever since he led the crowd to capture Iwanari Yudo and spread the name of Ii throughout, the Ji samurai has untied his heart knots and waited for his nephew Toramatsu's Motofu with peace of mind, and has also made up his mind to repay his kindness. Since Shangluo returned, he began to reply to women's clothing in private.
Of course, Fanxiu will not fail to see this change, and is even more happy to see it. The main lady of the Heite family, Inu, also generously accepted Ii Naotora and held a small celebration.
It's just that when I'm in my hometown, I'm really busy. The original wife and two concubines need to be appeased when they reunite after a long absence, and the two delicate babies sent by Ise Sadako on behalf of the Ashikaga family cannot be ignored. Even the lady of the main room, Ah Inu, for the sake of balance, in order to prevent the shogunate from becoming more powerful, picked out a pair of beautiful sisters from the Owari folk and recommended them.
is a day when good things will come true, but the two can only taste it and can't understand it well. As a woman who adheres to traditional samurai ethics, of course, Ii Naotora has no complaints about this, but Hohide himself feels a little indebted.
Until he left Omi and returned to, the female dependents were not allowed to accompany him, and only the Ji samurai could legitimately join the army. This is a godsend.
So after settling down in Yamazaki Castle, Hirate began to prepare for this. As a master of both theory and practice, he can always use seemingly plain and ordinary language to describe the wonders of Dunlun's affairs when the two of them are alone, and then quietly appreciate it, with a delicate graceful posture in his heroic spirit, and a beautiful face mixed with expectation in his shyness.
Ji Wushi's cheeks flew and he replied shyly, but he bowed his head slightly, and when he replied "obey" in a weak mosquito voice, it can really be said that the man died without regrets.
However—
Just now, when I saw Iwasari Youtong go out, it was already nine o'clock in the evening (nine o'clock in the evening). Then I delayed for a while, looked up at the moonlight, it should be midnight by now, right?
According to the habits of this era, ordinary people have already fallen asleep and slept peacefully.
So that's kind of ...... Running late?
I am a famous general who shocks the world, and I am late for this kind of thing?
Even so, you can't turn a late show into an absence.
During the Wei and Jin dynasties, he plagued the township when he was young, and later in order to reform himself, he visited the scholar Lu Yun, saying that he was too old and worried that it would be too late. Lu Yun used the famous saying of the ancient sage, "If you hear the Tao, you can die at night" to inspire him.
This story tells us that there is no such thing as "too late" or "late" for something truly meaningful.
At this thought, Hirate Hayasu resolutely made up his mind and walked towards the residence of the Ji samurai.
After all, it's still important to get down to business, and I can't think about it tomorrow about what kind of military system or something like that.
