After Saigo Muzo finished speaking, Tsugawa Soji nodded lightly, and then continued to instruct, "Military rations are the top priority of Shangluo, and there must be no sloppiness!" It's important to be meticulous and accurate. ”

"Hah!"

"Then next, it's time to discuss the issue of the number of troops to be sent!" Soji Tsugawa looked around for a moment, and then continued, "According to the original plan, this family will mobilize 30,000 standing troops in Shangluo this time, do you think, how should these 30,000 troops be deployed?" ”

As soon as Tsugawa Soji's words fell, Sanada Yukitaka, the head of the Senate who was sitting in the middle of the retainers, was already prepared, and immediately replied, "My lord, I think that although it is a standing army in the mobilization domain, it is necessary to distinguish the priorities clearly!" ”

"This time in Shangluo, the enemies that the family has to face are mainly the Miyoshi family. And the Miyoshi family dominates the country, and its strength is not much better than that of the main family, so against such an enemy, the family must maintain an absolute superiority in strength. ”

"Yes, I think that among the 30,000 standing ashigaru, the standing ashigaru directly led by the lord and the standing ashigaru under the command of the retainers of the family should serve as the main force."

"Secondly, the people of the country who belong to the family should also send out the standing troops in the territory to fight with the family. In this way, we can maximize the protection of the family when they are in Shangluo, and there will be no hidden dangers in the rear! Sanada Yutaka said with a straight face.

Sanada Yutaka's meaning is simple.

The strength of the Miyoshi family is not bad, and if you want to fight with such a force, the Tsugawa family still has a little advantage in terms of troops, so the elite standing troops directly under the Tsugawa family should be the main force.

However, after the direct troops were transferred, he was afraid that because of the lack of troops in the territory, his family would be unstable. At that time, if any of the people of the country want to do something, and Tsugawa Soji and others are far away in Kyoto, it will be more than worth the loss to bring big trouble to the Tsugawa family at that time.

Although this is very unlikely, it is necessary to be fully prepared for everything.

"I also agree with the proposal of the Bullet Loyal Palace, and I secretly think that the situation of this dispatch is serious, and it is most appropriate for the master and slave forces to be maintained in the case of half of each. Otherwise, if the military service is too onerous, it will be detrimental to the subsequent development of the family's territory, and it will also make the retainers resentful. Kinobu Endo, who was sitting beside Yutaka Sanada, also spoke.

"In the following opinion, it is possible to divide military service according to what is known and done. Every thousand stone Zhixing should mobilize 10 people to participate in the battle! According to the preliminary estimate of the stone height of the family, there are more than 26,000 people, and the remaining 4,000 people are composed of the family's horse team, musket team and other troops, which can be said to be just right! Just in time! Sitting behind Saigo Muzuku, the farmer Liao Bei Xinai also proposed at this time.

As a person from the agricultural office, Hokushin Ai is very familiar with the stone height, population, and soldier composition in the Tsugawa family. According to the stone height and population ratio of the Tsugawa family, the standard of ten people in a thousand stones will not make the territory of the Tsugawa family empty, nor will it affect the number of troops sent by the Tsugawa family, which can be said to be just right!

Everyone said a word, and soon a more detailed plan was almost said.

This is the advantage of having a lot of talents, there is no need for Tsugawa Soji to use his brains at all, he only needs to let his retainers speak enthusiastically, and Tsugawa Soji only needs to grasp the general direction according to historical information, and then choose the good and follow.

"Your suggestions are very good, and my family is very pleased." Soharu Tsugawa first affirmed the retainers' speeches, and then continued, "But the family has another idea on top of your proposal!" ”

"This time, Shangluo, regarding the composition of the troops, we will do what you said before. However, it is easy to mobilize an army of 30,000 people, but when it is about to be a battle, how can it be effectively mobilized? Once again, Soji Tsugawa threw a difficult question to his retainers.

As Tsugawa Soji said, with the strength of the Tsugawa family, let alone 30,000 people, even another 30,000 can be mobilized. However, with the scale of the war of 30,000 people, how to command it on the battlefield is the biggest problem.

Before crossing over, Tsugawa Soji sometimes thought about how many hundreds of thousands of wars were in the ancient wars of the Celestial Empire, but after he came to such a Warring States Era, Tsugawa Soji had to say that it was difficult to command a battle of 100,000 people in ancient times, let alone millions of people.

Putting aside the above factors such as logistics supply and front maintenance, let's just talk about the simplest question, how to command when so many people fight?

By roaring? By waving the flag? By eye contact? Or do you want to play your own way? Don't be funny, how could it be!

Not to mention tens of millions of people, even 30,000 people Tsugawa Soji already feels that he can't play. Before experiencing the concept of 30,000 people, perhaps Tsugawa Soji would still think that "only 30,000 people" is not enough to worry about.

But when he really faced 30,000 people, Soji Tsugawa also had a numb scalp!

It is not so easy for a black and oppressive group of people to really command and deploy in such an era. The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and sometimes your left flank is broken through, and before your heralds can reach you, your right flank collapses again.

Even if you give the right order as quickly as possible, how do you ensure that the order can be accurately issued to every unit below?

To be honest, this question of Tsugawa Soji really stumped the retainers present. None of the people here, including Tsugawa Soji, had the experience of commanding tens of thousands of people in a joint battle.

In the past, the battle was only tens of thousands of people, and it was relatively easy. But now that the number has risen to 30,000, no one has the confidence to say that they can command!

But since Tsugawa Soji has already asked, there is always someone who has to solve it, otherwise raising so many retainers is a rice bucket?

Sanada Yutaka and the others frowned and lowered their heads, and they all fell into deep thought. But after a while, I still don't have a clue.

Soharu Tsugawa actually had some ideas in his heart, but he was going to listen to the opinions of his retainers before he said it. However, since no one could put forward any constructive suggestions, Tsugawa Soji decided to start by himself.

Just as Soji Tsugawa was about to speak, a figure flashed among the retainers of the main hall.

Tozawa Morian turned around and said to Tsugawa Soji, "My lord, I have a few immature ideas below, and I hope that my lord will correct you!" ”

"Oh?" Soji Tsugawa suddenly became interested, "In that case, then Hida Mamoru will tell us about it!" "In private, Soharu Tsugawa and Moriyasu Tozawa are commensurate with father and son, but in public, the master-slave relationship must still be clear.

"Hah!"

Tozawa Morian straightened his posture, married to Ashikaga Yoshijun's sister for more than three years, Tozawa Morian has also matured a lot, and there is a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses left, which can be described as envious of others.
