When the clan sect finished talking about the idea, Yamada Nagamasa understood that he understood, but he still asked: "According to what the lord said, although the defense will be greatly strengthened, and the place used for building will also be greatly increased, but in this case, it is impossible to increase the speed by two or three times. ”

"If that's the case, of course you can't increase the speed, let me ask you, what do you think of the iron cannon production line?"

Although Yamada Nagamasa didn't know why the lord suddenly asked himself what the matter of the iron cannon production line was, he still replied with satisfaction: "Back to the lord, although this iron cannon production line is a little more expensive, but it is definitely worth the money, using it to produce iron cannons, not only is it not easy to produce waste, but the speed is simply unbelievable, if it is not for it, even the most skilled iron cannon craftsmen can only make one or two a month, you can use this production line to make iron cannons, It is incredible that dozens of cannons can be produced in a month, and most importantly, the production of iron cannons does not require skilled craftsmen at all, and even those disabled ashigaru who have retired from the family can be completed, which is really incredible. ”

After he finished speaking, he only heard the clan sect ask, "Then have you ever thought about why it is so fast?" ”

"This ...... The subordinates didn't think about it. I just listened to Yamada Nagamasa's honest answer.

"Since there isn't, then I'll tell you, firstly, because this production line uses more advanced technology, and secondly, because it uses a sectional construction method.

The issue of armor crafting techniques cannot be solved yet, however. If you use the sectional construction method, then it should not be a problem to build two or three times faster, I don't know what you think? ”

Yamada Nagamasa couldn't help but move in his heart after hearing this, only to hear him quickly ask: "What does the lord mean is to let the craftsmen be divided into groups, and each group is only responsible for building one part, and then assemble it?" ”

The clan is still very satisfied with Yamada Nagamasa's understanding. So I saw him nod and say, "Yes, that's what it means, so it doesn't matter if it's to build weapons." Armor, or ninja armor, this small workshop is not enough. Only a larger factory can accommodate so many people at the same time.

And as the family continues to develop, there will be more and more armor weapons needed, so you will have to prepare more places for later use. ”

Speaking of this, I saw that the clan said solemnly: "Changzheng, since you have understood the thoughts in my heart, then this matter will be left to you to do, my requirements are, armor, weapons." Ninja armor and iron cannon must have their own factory, and as for the scale of this factory, it must not be smaller than the sparrow house in Kaimachi, you can hear clearly. ”

"Please rest assured. Subordinates will live up to the trust of the lord. ”

"Okay, there can't be any delay in this matter, after I leave, you will do it immediately, and all the construction costs will be paid by Kagawa Tadaji." After speaking, the clan sect didn't say anything, but left quickly. Head to Matsukura Castle.

As soon as the clan returned to Matsukura Castle, he saw that many of his retainers had something to report, so he didn't bother to rest, and immediately called an appraisal meeting.

After all the retainers sat down, they only heard the clan sect ask, "Yishi, can you complete the task I gave you?" ”

The Takayama family is about to face a big battle with the Takeda family, and there is nothing more important to the clan than recruiting troops, so he will be the first to ask the Nakamura clan.

Since the Nakamura Ichishi can sit here now, it can completely prove that he has completed the task assigned by the clan.

Sure enough, when the clan sect finished asking, I only heard him hurriedly say: "Back to the lord, according to the requirements of the family to recruit ashigaru, after the selection of subordinates, there are 1,500 people who can become ashigaru, and in order to save time, the subordinates have all gathered them in Matsukura Castle, and they are currently undergoing the most basic training, and I also ask the lord to decide." ”…,

Hearing such figures, the clan was already very content. He knew that this Hida was different from Owari, Mino, etc., where the land was small and dense, and it was very easy to recruit ten ashigaru for a hundred stones, but this Hida was different, although the area of this country was the same as the length of the tail, but the stone height was not even one percent of Owari, although it was not a problem to recruit three or five thousand people, but this quality did not dare to be complimented.

And he has more than 20,000 stones in Hida's territory, and he can pick out 1,500 ashigaru, plus the previous one, at least it meets the requirements.

And the clan also knows that it is precisely because the people of the Hida eat the beasts in the mountains most of the time, so the physique is much stronger than those who eat green vegetables, radishes and salted fish, as long as they go through strict training, then the combat power of the Hida people will far exceed that of the outside world, and this is one of the reasons why the clan is optimistic about this place, he is going to vigorously develop the elite, and after having the Hida people, it is definitely like a tiger with wings.

So I only heard the clan say: "Well, you did a good job, but among the 1,500 Hida people, are there any who don't want to be ashigaru?" ”

"Back to the lord, after listening to the treatment of the family, these civilians were all happy, they were all willing to serve the lord, and their subordinates did not force one of them. As for those who are unwilling, their subordinates have also dismissed them. ”

After listening to the clan, think about it, the family's treatment of the flag is insignificant, and it is also the best to look at the whole world, since the country of Hida, the people here have never been rich, and now they have given them the hope of being rich, and it is strange that they are not loyal to their family.

"In that case, then it's good to compile all of these fifteen hundred Hida people into a ashigaru."

Although the leading retainers present had long known that the Lord of the Dao would definitely accept them all, but after they really said it from the lord's mouth, they still couldn't help but feel very excited, if they didn't count the ninja army, even if they added the new group used for defense, the current army of the family was only 1,500 people, which was equivalent to doubling, wouldn't it mean that the army under their command would also be doubled? Such news is indeed good news for them. So they were all excited, waiting for the lord to make the distribution.

"As for the distribution ...... of these 1,500 troops," Speaking of this, I saw that the eyes of the clan sect glanced at all the leading retainers sitting on the same side, and after a quick calculation, he said: "Omiya Jinglian, you can choose any of the 1,500 troops under your command, there is no limit, as long as you meet the requirements, you can be incorporated into the Chongfu Bow army, and you can give priority to selection." ”

The combat style of this family is like destroying the enemy while preserving itself, and in terms of tactics, it is good at ambushes and surprise attacks, and the role of the long-range army in this is undoubtedly huge, especially the heavy vine bow foot light, not only the range is long, but also the rate of fire is fast, once the scale is formed, then it is definitely a disaster for the enemy, and the conditions for becoming a heavy vine bow are quite high, even if the clan wants to expand, there is no way, and now that there is finally this opportunity, how can you give up easily.

However, don't look at the fierce style of the Hida people, there are 1,500 people to choose from, but the clan doesn't think how many of them will be chosen, so he will give Omiya Keiren such a privilege.

When the clan sect finished speaking, the other leading retainers all looked at Omiya Jinglian with envy, but they were only envious, but they were not jealous, they all knew that it was not so easy for Lu Dao to become a heavy vine bow and foot light, even if there was no restriction, how much could he pick up.

Everyone thought that after the Omiya Jinglian would hurriedly thank him, he immediately went to choose his subordinates. But what they didn't expect was that Omiya Jinglian thanked him, but it was not finished, and when he thanked him, he only heard him speak again: "In the past few days that the lord has been absent from the territory, his subordinates have inadvertently discovered that the sixty-seven gold diggers can pull a heavy rattan bow, so the subordinates implore the lord to incorporate the gold nuggets into the leadership of his subordinates." ”…,

After hearing this, the clan didn't even think about it before he spoke: "Okay, I agree, but I can only hand over sixty of them to you, and I have other uses for the remaining seven." ”

The clan believes that there is nothing more important than enhancing the combat power of the family now, and the gold nuggets can be recruited again if they are gone, leaving seven people by themselves, and with their experience, they can soon bring out a group of new people, and if the army is insufficient, then how to defeat Takeda, if this battle fails, it will be difficult to save even their lives, even if the gold is mined, what is the use.

Omiya Jinglian couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that the lord agreed so happily, although there were seven fewer people, he still had the right of first choice, which was nothing at all.

I only heard Omiya Jinglian hurriedly said: "My subordinates, thank you, lord." ”

And the clan just nodded at him slightly, and then spoke again: "Maeda Toshiya, Watanabe Moritsuna, I have decided to expand the two armies of scimitar and fine armor to five hundred people each, and after Omiya Jingren has finished choosing, you two can choose." ”

"My subordinates, thank you, my lord." I only heard the two of them thank him loudly.

Originally, they all thought that they would be satisfied as long as they doubled the strength of the army under their command, but now not only has it really doubled, but there are also a hundred more people, which makes them full of energy, and even Shane's voice is much louder.

"Sugitani Zenjubo, I have decided to encompass the Iron Cannon Ashigaru Team to five hundred people." After the clan finished speaking, Sugitani Zenjubo did not thank him, but was completely stunned.

Before, there were only a hundred people under his command, but now the lord has suddenly expanded to five hundred, not only Sugitani Zenjubo, but even the other retainers of the family couldn't help but be stunned after hearing it again.

If it is a large-scale expansion of the family's fine armor and scimitar ashigaru, or even if it is an expansion of the new group, even if it is a spear ashigaru, the retainers can understand, but this iron cannon ashigaru combat power is at the bottom, in the previous battle of the family, there is no outstanding record at all, why does the lord want to increase the number of iron cannons ashigaru in such a large amount, other leading retainers are all happy when the military strength under their command is expanded, but now it is the turn of Sugitani Zenjubo, he is a little lacking in confidence. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
