Fortunately, thanks to the golden trade route from Kai to Suruga and the vigorous operation of Toyota Hansuke, Tsukahara Molong was not impoverished by so many children who suddenly became extraordinary. But how can there be anything in the world that eats and drinks for nothing? After Tsukahara Moryū fed these children every day for a week, he finally began to show his true colors: extremely rigorous training. Compared to the training that Tsukahara Molong received when he was a child, it was even more unbearable, but Tsukahara Molong naturally didn't care about this, even if he was tired and collapsed to the ground, tired and crying, he had to prepare to continue practicing next time. And when the body is resting, Tsukahara Molong will give them spiritual brainwashing: repeatedly instilling that the troubled times have come, and they must be tightly united around Tsukahara Molong in order to kill a peaceful world. Loyal to Tsukahara Molong, loyal to the Demon Dragon Society, incarnated as a sharp blade, and killed a peaceful world. For these little children, they may not be able to fully understand, but Tsukahara Molong naturally has a way, and those who understand must be resolutely implemented, and those who do not understand must strengthen their understanding in the implementation.

The so-called where there is oppression, there is resistance, but no matter how bearish the children are, how can they be arrogant in front of Tsukahara Molong? On the contrary, they were both mentally and physically tortured, and after grinding, Tsukahara Moryū occasionally helped them cover the quilt at night, but they were moved to cry, from a medical point of view, it is Stockholm syndrome. The children feel that their lives are threatened all the time, and they are not devastated at all, and the children can't escape from this environment at all, and they are likely to starve to death when they go out, except for the thoughts instilled by Tsukahara Molong, they can't access any information, and when they are at their most desperate, Tsukahara Molong will give them a little favor, so for a month, all the children's "illness" is extremely "serious". Even the naughty children can't help but be stunned when they see Tsukahara Molong, and no matter what others say, they don't listen to the command, but Tsukahara Molong has a look, and they immediately use their strength to practice.

Seeing that the bear children were honestly practicing martial arts, Tsukahara Molong went out with confidence.

This time, Takeda Harunobu also made a ruthless decision to form an elite army. In the past, relying on the old background of his father Takeda Nobuto, it was still good to fight with the four major generals of Shinano, but since the fiasco of the Uedawara battle, Takeda Harunobu suddenly discovered a very serious problem: the elite left by his father was fought by himself all year round, and the loss of seventy-seven-eighty-eight. After all, in that era, the people who rushed to the forefront were the bravest and best people in the army, but this also meant that when they were defeated, these people suffered the greatest losses. In the Battle of Uedawara, the Takeda family obviously had a numerical advantage, but when they fought with Murakami Yoshikiyo, they suffered a heavy defeat, and the two important ministers Itagaki Nobukata and Ganli Hutai were killed on the battlefield. After escaping back, Takeda Harunobu learned from the pain and summed up two most critical problems: first, there was not much left of the elite loyal to the Takeda family left by his father, which led to a decline in the overall combat effectiveness of the troops, and the army became weaker and weaker the more they fought.

Thinking of this, Takeda Harunobu had the idea of forming an elite army that belonged directly to him, but he didn't have much money at that time, and he finally had money in his hands after developing Jinshan all these years, and it happened that Tsukahara Molong was in Kai again, so Takeda Harunobu asked the most trusted general, Iitomi Huchang, to form an elite army, and Tsukahara Molong was on the side to assist.

At first, Tsukahara Molong didn't want to get involved in this matter, but after Takeda Harunobu gritted his teeth and exempted Shuiyun House's tax by 30%, Tsukahara Molong had to "reluctantly" accept this task.

Speaking of military training, Tsukahara Molong did learn a lot from Nagano Yemasa, but compared with other people's Iitomi Huchang, it was still far behind, so Tsukahara Molong was very humble to assist Iitomi Huchang on the side, and often asked Iitomi Huchang to coach soldiers. And Iitomi Huchang has a very strong relationship with Tsukahara Molong because his younger brother Itomi Masashi has a very strong relationship, and Tsukahara Molong is one of Takeda Yoshinobu's teachers, so he knows everything about Tsukahara Molong's doubts.

That's right, the name of this unit that Harunobu Takeda attaches great importance to is the "Red Reserve"!

Inspired by Tsukahara Molong to form Molong Bei, most of the initial personnel of the Red Reserve Team are the second sons and young sons who have no inheritance rights in each family, although these people have little power, but after all, they were born in a samurai family, so they have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and their foundation is very good. At this time, the identity gap between Takeda Harunobu and Tsukahara Molong was revealed, Tsukahara Molong ran all over Ueno Country, and received only a hundred Molong Bei, and Takeda Harunobu gave an order, and these young people who had a worrying future immediately gathered like a tide, and the number quickly reached three hundred.

According to the Japanese custom at that time, the number of people in a reserve team was generally about 300 to 800 people, so this scale was a little too small. Moreover, Takeda Harunobu has saved a lot of money in order to form the Red Reserve Team, but the children of these families have their own armor, which makes Takeda Harunobu very dissatisfied, so Iitomi Huchang used his private power to recruit Ashigaru from his family territory Iitomi Township. The number quickly grew to 800. Of course, since Ashigaru is a member of the Iitomi Huchang family, then the command of this army in the future must also be in his hands, for his little ninety-nine, Takeda Harunobu doesn't care, don't you see the virtue of the Koyamada family and the Anayama family? The rice rich family is already very honest. Moreover, the territory of the Fanfu Huchang family is not large, and if it is sustained, it will be able to maintain a reserve team. So the troops were handed over to Commander Iitomi Torama, and Takeda Harunobu was very relieved.

Now that you're fully staffed, it's time to get on your equipment. However, on this issue, Iitomi Humasa and Takeda Harunobu have different opinions. Takeda Harunobu suffered all the hardships of the Shinano cavalry and was forced to use the super spear of the three guns on a large scale against the cavalry, so in the newly formed Red Reserve Brigade, Takeda Harunobu also demanded a large-scale installation of the three guns. However, Fan Fu Huchang felt that since the cavalry team was very combative, why not simply increase the proportion of cavalry? This combat effectiveness must have risen in a straight line, anyway, our Kai Fei also produces horses, and the cavalry of my rich family has always been very powerful.

Tsukahara Molong watched the two of them fight every day, and his head was also big for a while, he looked at the 30,000 yuan that Takeda Harunobu had saved by frugally eating and tightening his belt, and then looked at the equipment procurement of the Red Reserve Army, and suddenly his head was big. Fortunately, there are only about 500 people who really need to change their clothes, and the Iitomi family itself has some weapons reserves, so they are not as poor as Nagano Yemasa. Secretly discussed Takeda Harunobu's stinginess, the development of Jinshan is so rich, and he gave himself such a small compensation fee at that time.

"Changjing, are your war horses cheaper than other places?" Tsukahara Moryū shook Iitomi Masakai, who was busy dealing with the affairs of Iitomo Township beside him, and asked.

"This is natural, our Kai has already produced horses, and now the lord has captured most of Minami Shinano, which is also a famous horse-producing land, so there is no shortage of war horses in our family. The elder brother was a master of commanding cavalry. Rice Tomi said proudly. Although there are many wealthy families in Jiafei, and the rich family has not been very powerful, they do not dare to underestimate the combat power of the rich family. Without him, as early as when Iitomi Toramasa was young, his bravery and good fighting were already known in the fierce Kai country, and Takeda Shintora even appointed him to serve as Takeda Harunobu's teacher along with important ministers such as Ganli Toratai and Itagaki Nobukata. Although in later generations, because Iitomi Husho committed suicide by seppuku because of Takeda Yoshinobu's rebellion in exchange for Takeda Yoshinobu's life, the evaluation has not been high. But Iitomi Torama is indeed a civil and military all-rounder, not only can he fight habitually, after Takeda Harunobu exiled his father Takeda Shintora, he followed him to quell the rebellion of Kai, conquered Shinano Province, and in 1548 he led 800 people to support the siege of 8,000 people of Murakami Yoshikiyo, and also had outstanding talent in dealing with internal affairs, and was deeply respected by Takeda Harunobu.

"How much does that horse cost?"

"Uh...... If it's normal, it's 22 pieces, but if it's better, it's common to sell 40 or 50 pieces. However, the real cost of war horses is actually the problem of breeding, this thing is too edible. Iitomi Changjing shook his head, the samurai will not take care of the war horses themselves, they must find a special person to raise them, this is also an expense, the two combined, it is a very heavy burden for many samurai, even in a place like Kai that is rich in horses, many samurai cannot afford to raise horses. The rice rich family has their own ranch, which is slightly better.

"What do you think of these 30,000 runs, if all the Red Reserve is equipped into cavalry?"

"All?" Iitomi Changjing was slightly stunned, looking at Tsukahara Molong's gaze as if he was looking at an alien, didn't he say that Tsukahara Molong was very good at training? How come you don't even know this common sense? "A set of armor for cavalry is much more valuable than ashigaru, at least thirty times, and if you count weapons and equipment, it will cost you fifty times. In this way, the small lotus camel team still has war supplies and does not have much money. Not to mention how their money was issued. ”

Belch...... Why is it a question of money again...... Tsukahara Molong was entangled for a while, so he had to turn to ask Iitomi Changjing some cavalry command skills.

The Red Reserve Corps was gradually established in the repeated discussions between Takeda Harunobu and Iitomi Toramasa, and the cavalry team was 160 cavalry, each of whom was equipped with bows, swords, and ribs, but these people were basically the second sons of the samurai family, so it didn't cost much money on equipment, after all, they already had; There are 200 people in the bowfoot light team, but unlike the military strength of other great masters, these bowfoot light not only carry the original bow and arrow equipment, but also are divided into swords and ribs, once necessary, they can be used as a reserve to attack with the main force; The most famous (currently) of the Takeda family is only 360 ashigaru troops, of which 300 are equipped with the "big killing weapon" of three guns to attack the battle formation, and 60 are equipped with nagi knives ready to deliver medium-range strikes when the enemy approaches, and these people are all equipped with ribs; The remaining 80 or so people are small lotus camel teams, which are usually responsible for logistics and supply problems. As far as equipment is concerned, it was already very luxurious in Japan's Sengoku period at that time. However, Takeda Harunobu obviously did not form the Red Reserve Team to show off his financial resources, so Iitomi Torama quickly gave these people "hell-style" training to improve their combat effectiveness, such as going head-to-head with Tsukahara Molong, heads-up, heads-up, group fighting, group fighting, group fighting......

In the face of a particularly ruthless swordsman like Tsukahara Molong, the Red Reserve team, who was not too familiar with each other, quickly twisted into a rope under the threat of death, and the difficult combination of guns and gun assaults was quickly mastered by the Red Reserve team, which made Iitomi Toramasa and Takeda Harunobu overjoyed. In the face of the dense gun array, Tsukahara Molong was entangled for a while, I can't fight like this, and I can't use a real knife, how can I attack? Under the strong protest of Tsukahara Molong, Iitomi Huchang turned to use cavalry training, and Iitomi Masashi also participated, but Tsukahara Molong was not a target this time, but participated as a trainer, secretly learning the skills of Iitomi Huchang and Itomi Masashi in training and commanding troops. In the past three months, even Tsukahara Molong himself felt that his military skills had risen a lot, and in game terms, the commander's value had skyrocketed!
