Chapter 159: Rectifying the Army
Under the leadership of Tomita Nagashige and Mae-Hayoshitsugu, Sakaku led more than 1,000 troops into the Tsuruga Prefecture area, which had been controlled by the Asakura vassals who had surrendered to the Oda family. After entering Tsuruga Prefecture, Burning Sky took the lead in asking Tomita Nagashige about the armaments and military presence of Tsuruga Prefecture. When Tomita Nagahiro heard the words of the burning sky, he immediately bowed his head and replied: "Lord Hieiyama, Tsuruga Prefecture has gathered 5,000 troops and stationed them in the north and south of Tsuruga Castle, and we only need to make a little repair in Tsuruga Prefecture before we can advance north!" ”
After listening to Tomita Nagashi's words, Burning Sky was a little surprised in his heart, and then asked Tomita Nagashigeru and Mae-Ha Yoshitsugu: "Tomita-sama, Mahamami-sama, how can Tsuruga gather 5,000 troops?" Not only did he have doubts, but Sakuma Morimasa and Kamo Kenhide also echoed the Burning Sky and said, "The two adults had better explain the matter, if there is deception in it, then Shibata-sama and Hiei-sama-sama will not be able to spare you!" ”
Before Tomita Nagashigeru and Maebo Yoshitsugu could speak, Hidehisa Senshi, who was behind the Burning Void, said with a smile: "It seems that the vision of Lord Hiei is still too small!" In these 5,000 troops, I don't know how many peasant soldiers and ordinary people are mixed in, and the so-called one has always been like this! ”
Tomita Nagashi's face was a little embarrassed after listening to Senishi Hidehisa's words, and the former Hayoshitsugu turned over and got off his horse, stood in front of the Burning Sky and bowed his head and said, "Lord Hieiyama, this is the fault of the lower ones, and the lower ones think that the Sengo Army in Tsuruga Prefecture is too weak, so they ordered a large number of peasant soldiers and civilians to be gathered!" I hope that Lord Hieiyama will forgive me! ”
Burning Sky looked at the former Po Ji Ji in front of him, bowed his head and asked for the guilt, quickly went through the matter in his mind, and then said to the former Po Ji Jiji: "It's not impossible to build momentum this time, but when the army is reorganized later, I will list the ashigaru and veteran peasant soldiers separately, and the rest of the people and peasant soldiers will be listed separately!" The former Boji didn't blame himself when he saw the incineration, thinking that it was yesterday's effort to win over the incineration, so he looked up at the incineration and said, "Understood! ”
Later, the company was stationed under Tsuruga Castle, and the former Hayoshi arranged a garrison for a group of samurai such as Burning Sky and Sakuma Morimasa, and Burning Sky ordered all the troops to assemble in front of Tsuruga Castle immediately, and he wanted to organize the troops. Waiting for the order of the burning of the sky, the former Hayoshitsugu and Tomita Nagashige immediately gathered the troops stationed near Tsuruga Castle and waited for the burning of the sky to reorganize the army.
When the army was gathering under Tsuruga Castle, Burning Sky had already beaten horses and Sakuma Morimasa and others took the lead in coming to Tsuruga Castle. Today's Fushiwa Akijiro and others have become the close attendants of the Burning Sky, whether it is a samurai or an Ashigaru monk, they are always following the Burning Sky to protect the Burning Sky. Sakuma Morimasa on the side was envious when he saw this, and said loudly to the burning sky: "Mingshamen, I will also become a general who will lead the first battle in the future!" "Senshi Hidehisa was disdainful of the battle of burning the sky.
When all the armies were gathered, the Burning Sky who was riding on a horse held the Tianxia Buwu military ration given to him by Oda Nobunaga earlier, and said to the troops: "Tomorrow, we will go north to attack the Echizen Asakura family, maybe many people are still worried about how to face the old master Asakura clan, you have to understand one thing, if you cut off the heads of the samurai and ashigaru of the Asakura family in the battle, the family will definitely reward the meritorious people; Now that Asakura is a rotten wood, he will only greedily eat the wealth of Echizen, and after the destruction of Asakura, the meritorious person will have the opportunity to divide the old territory of Echizen Asakura, are you willing to continue to be a footlight and live on a meager salary, or be a farmer who weeds and grows grain in the field, or something else? ”
After listening to the words of the burning sky, the army fell into silence, and the burning sky saw this and continued: "I was originally a person of the slightest, but now I can receive more than a thousand stones to know how to act, your opportunity to establish your fame is in front of you, and I don't need you to be the front all the time, if you want to go back now, you can go back immediately after paying the exemption money, and Lord Qianbo will not pursue it!" ”
After that, Burning Sky said to Maepo Jiji: "Mahama-sama, you won't pursue it, right? Seeing that the burning sky was serious, the former Boji said to the troops: "Now pay the exemption money and leave!" Burning Sky then said: "Whether it is the strength of my own army or the new army, I will treat everyone equally, and my achievements will be the same." ”
After the words of the Burning Sky were finished, some people came out of the army one after another, walked up to the commander of their own samurai, reported their names, bowed their heads in the direction where the Burning Sky was, and then left quickly.
Maeboji looked at the people who were leaving, and asked in a low voice to the burning sky: "Lord Hieishan, the momentum is also very important, and in this way, the number of troops will be reduced!" Burning Sky listened to the words of the former Pojitsug, and said to the former Pojiji: "Instead of letting them run away during the war and disturb their morale, it is better to let them leave early, and they can also receive a waiver money with them, why not?" ”
When Mae-Hayoshi listened to the words of the Burning Sky, he looked suddenly enlightened, and immediately flattered the Burning Sky, which immediately caused a disgust around him, and the Burning Sky said to the troops: "The Tsuruga Prefecture army is obeying the order, and all the Ashigaru and peasant soldiers who have experienced more than three battles stand in front of Lord Tomita!" With that, he motioned for Tomita to beat his horse and walk to his right.
Then he said, "The rest of the people are standing in front of Lord Koba!" As soon as the words of the burning sky fell, the former Boji Ji immediately hit his horse and came to the position on the left hand side of the burning sky, and nodded to the burning sky, and the burning sky smiled when he saw this, and said to the army of the army: "When marching, Lord Tomita will take the army in front of you as the rear formation, Lord Qianbo you will take the army in front of you as the middle formation, and I will take the lead in the front of the army." ”
After the troops agreed, the burning sky said to the troops: "There are still two orders, one is to disobey the order, and the other is to leave the team without permission." ”
After briefly reorganizing the military situation, the burning sky ordered all the troops to return to the garrison to rest and set off early tomorrow morning. On the way back, the former Boji also sent another invitation to the Burning Sky to go to the banquet, but was directly rejected by the Burning Sky. Later, Burning Sky summoned Tomita Nagashige to the station for questioning, and learned that there were indeed many former defenders of South Vietnam who had rebelled against former Hakichi and Hashiba Hideyoshi. After a few brief explanations, the burning sky let Tomita Nagashiro leave.
At this time, Fushiwa Akijiro, who was originally on duty outside the station, walked into the house quickly, and said to the burning sky with a somewhat excited face: "Lord, Kaima Tadachiyo is here!" ”
"Oh!" After being briefly surprised, Burning Sky immediately stood up and asked Fushiwa Akijiro, "Where is Kaima Tadachiyo now?" ”
Fushiwa Mingjiro was also a little excited when he saw the burning sky, and hurriedly said to the burning sky: "Seahorse Tadachiyo is outside the station, and he is also..."
Without waiting for Fushiwa Mingjiro to finish speaking, Burning Sky pulled Fushiba Mingjiro and walked outside the house. The people on duty in the courtyard saw Burning Sky pulling Fushiwa Akijiro out of the house, and hurriedly went up and asked, "What do you have to say?" Burning Sky glanced at the people in the courtyard and said to Suzuki Heavy Industries: "You continue to be on duty, and I will go to see an old man." ”
