Chapter 270: The Spirit of the Army
As the topic unfolded, Hosokawa's retainers began to discuss how to build their own military spirit.
"That's right! The lord is the soul of the army! We should all be loyal to the Lord! Haruyuki Hosokawa was the first to agree with Masayuki Sanada.
"No, although this can be quickly recognized by the whole army. However, this will also put the lord in the most dangerous situation, and the priority attack on the lord will become the first target of the enemy, have you forgotten the tactics of attacking the lord at night? Honda Masanobu shook his head, in his eyes, Takeda Shingen was sitting there stubbornly, which did not match the usual military style of the Hosokawa family.
"Also, if the lord is the soul of the army, then every time he goes out into battle, won't the lord have to participate in the war? In the future, as my Hosokawa family grows, there will be more and more cases like the one that is now surrounded by strong enemies and fighting everywhere. Until then? Without the presence of the lord, we would not fight? As Honda Masanobu analyzed it more deeply, more and more people nodded in agreement.
"That's right, I can't be a military spirit. Otherwise, if something suddenly happens to me, wouldn't the Hosokawa family fall apart just like the Takeda family. Hosokawa Nobumoto said what Honda Masatin wanted to say, but didn't dare to say.
"The Lord is heavy! The lord is in the prime of life, and he will be able to lead his ministers to expand the territory and lay the great cause of the Hosokawa family! All the retainers hurriedly put on their armor and saluted, terrified.
"Alright, alright, all up. Any other ideas? Go ahead. Hosokawa Nobumoto smiled at the corner of his mouth and waved his right hand, signaling them all to get up.
"My lord, then let's have a faith too? Hmm..."Masaharu Mikoda frowned, just said the beginning, I don't know how to pick it up.
"It's definitely not going to work, if nothing else, just the time. The faith of the Sect was not achieved overnight, it took several generations and tens of millions of missions to form today's situation. Honda Masanobu vetoed another proposal, and he devoted himself to studying the Honda Sect for many years, and he knew what was good and what was not.
"Faith! It doesn't work, it doesn't work either! Then you should say a charter! A loud voice came from Honda Tadakatsu, who was wearing a helmet with antlers.
In the Hosokawa family, in addition to the old qualified family old Yoshida Sokatsu, the generals Tao Qingxian and Hosokawa Haruyuki. Among the new generation of retainers, the military shogun Honda Tadashi was the leader, and the shogun Honda Masanobu was the leader.
"Hehe, to be honest, I can't think of any good way to do it. But what do you have in mind? Why don't you say it and let everyone hear it? Honda Masanobu grinned, not minding Honda's fierce words.
"Me? If there is a way, what else do you want your group of military advisors to do! As soon as Honda Tadakatsu said this, he immediately offended Sanada Masayuki and Mikota Masaharu, and they both looked at him with displeasure.
"Uh... Did you say anything wrong? Qi brushed his eyes, and he saw that Honda Tadakatsu was also empty.
"Alright, I'll talk about it." Nobumoto Hosokawa clapped his hands and successfully attracted everyone's attention.
"The spirit of the army must be had. I decided to create a few military spirit flags, the flag is there, and the system is there. When people die, the flag cannot die. Hosokawa Nobumoto's face was serious, and the people below also listened attentively.
"Army Spirit Flag?" Honda Masanobu seemed to have something in mind.
"Yes, don't we have a lot of established systems? Training and combat in peacetime are also the slogan of having their own reserves. But it is not enough to have slogans, they must have a banner of their own, a banner with a high honorary title given by me personally! Hosokawa Nobumoto felt excited when he thought about it, and the military flag was also a kind of sustenance for the consciousness of the military soul.
"Great, lord, that... What is the issuance form? When Honda Tadakatsu heard that there was an honor, he rubbed his hands happily, no wonder he felt that the Netherworld Iron Rider was missing something, it turned out to be this banner of military soul!
"Military merit! There is nothing in the world that is not earned for nothing, and only by relying on real military exploits can we have this banner worthy of boasting! Honda believed in a little bit and quickly thought about how to implement it later.
"That's right." Hosokawa nodded, stood up, and walked outside the tent, where the generals followed.
"Do you see Kogijiang Castle?" Hosokawa Nobumoto pointed to the castle not far away.
"Your Majesty is willing to be the vanguard, not to take Xiaomujiang City, and not to return the army!" Tao Qingxian immediately knelt down on one knee and asked for his life, this first banner is going to be set by Tao Qingxian.
"Your Majesty is also willing to take this Xiaomujiang City for the lord! Please ask for permission! Hosokawa Haruyuki also hurriedly asked for his life, and the first honor must go to the Hosokawa family.
"Your Majesty, please go!"
"Your Majesty, please go!" Other generals also asked for their lives, unwilling to be left behind.
"Hehe, how can you show the honor of your family by taking this small city." Hosokawa Nobumoto is smiling, and what he wants is this positive attitude, and competition is a necessary factor for development.
The original competition, which was only between the samurai class, will now open up a new model, the competition between armies and soldiers.
*************
"Devon! Advance! Tao Qingxian led the German Wenbei to attack Xiaomujiang City, the original city gate had already been blown up, the city was completely undefended, and the two sides launched a tragic street battle in the city.
"Devon! Back off! "The fierce battle was in full swing, and Tao Qingxian actually led the troops to withdraw again.
"Sekihara! Advance! "Hosokawa Haruyuki's troops took over from Tokubunbei and attacked Ogijiang Castle.
"Sekihara! Back off! ”
"Saga Bei! Advance! ”
The Hosokawa Standing Army was like a big wave crashing on a rock, wave after wave, wave after wave, wave after wave.
Hosokawa Nobumoto stood on a high place, using a telescope, observing the performance of each reserve team. He actually used the fanatical sect believers to build the base material of his Hosokawa family's military soul.
"Not bad, not bad. The first step of the military soul is to have strict military discipline and forbidden, even if you are one step away, you can kill the enemy in front of you, as long as you receive the order to retreat, you must retreat, and you must not advance half a step. Even if the knife and gun have reached your chest, and you receive the order to move forward, you must not hesitate to advance, even if the knife and gun are in the body. Hosokawa Nobumoto muttered to himself, as if he was speaking to himself, and as if he was teaching the little surname behind him.
"The second step is to temper the will, only the unyielding and fearless strong will can create a steel army with the soul of the army. Facing fanatical believers, it is just right for them to empathize, slowly temper their own will, and finally overwhelm each other. As he was talking, Hosokawa Nobumoto suddenly felt a hot gaze behind him, and looked sideways, it was the little surname Benmaru.
Hosokawa Nobugen nodded secretly, this Benmaru is Sanada Masayuki's second son, the future "Japan's first soldier" Sanada Yukimura. , you are lonely, the young lady warms you with a movie
