Chapter 507: Self-reliance
It seems that the land of the first county of the Yamashiro country is more than 10,000 less than the Hida country, and the Shi clan has suffered a lot of losses, but if he thinks about it carefully, if he agrees, not only will he not lose, but he will make a profit, after all, the Yamashiro country has been captured by the Oda family, and the clan can go directly, but the Hida country is different, except for the land of two thousand stones controlled by the Uchijima family, other places need to be conquered by themselves, and they have to face Uesugi Maybe they will also start a war with the Takeda family, even if they can be defeated, they will definitely suffer heavy losses, in case they can't be defeated, then it's no wonder Nobunaga
However, the clan has made up its mind, and Hida is too important to him, not to mention the resources of this place, just the geographical location is the most suitable place for him now
This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and one side of the communication is thick, and the other side is through Mino, if you don't know the history of the road, this Hida is indeed not a good place, but the clan that knows the history of the road knows that the history of the road as long as you control the Hida, then after the battle of Nagashino, you can go all the way east from the Hida, take advantage of the defeat of the Takeda family to capture Shinano, and after Nobunaga's death, you can take the opportunity to capture Mino, whether it is to the west or to the east, Hida has played a role in the link
And the money he invested in Hida is too big, if he gives up like this, even the clan is a little reluctant, so he is determined to get the clan here
However, for Nobunaga's care, the clan still felt a warmth in his heart, who was Nobunaga, but what the demon king did never considered for others, and now he was thinking about himself, how could it not make the clan not very moved
I just heard the clan open his mouth and said: Thank you for the kindness of the lord, but the subordinates think that the more so, the more subordinates should go here, although the subordinates are not capable, but if Hida has subordinates in charge, whether it is the Uesugi family or the Takeda family, if you want to be unfavorable to the family, then even if the subordinates can't win, you can also drag it down, so that the lord can prepare calmly, so please also ask the lord to allow it
Although Nobunaga knew that the Dao clan had considered his family before doing things, what he didn't expect was that he was willing to make such a big sacrifice for this, so even Nobunaga, who had always been unflustered, couldn't help but be stunned
However, seeing that the clan was so determined, it was not easy to be too demanding, so he finally accepted his request
Okay, you step down, and a letter of attorney will be issued later
In addition to the reward for meeting Nobunaga this time, Nobunaga has one more thing to say, that is, this raid, his own loss is too great, one is not conducive to production, and the other is that the number of men in the territory is limited, and the Hida strategy of the family will start and where to recruit troops, if this matter is not resolved, then everything will become empty talk, so the clan can only ask Nobunaga to send troops to support
Thinking of this, I only heard the clan sect speak: There is another matter under the lord's subordinates, and the army under his command has suffered heavy losses in this battle, so... Therefore, please also ask the lord to send more than 1,000 ashigaru support, and please ask the lord for permission
If it were placed at other times, it would be nothing to support the clan's 1,800 troops, although the Hida country was his domain after the seizure, but it was also of great benefit to the Oda family, and with the favor of the clan, he would definitely agree
However, now is an extraordinary period, the army, after several major battles, is already stretched, although after this battle, there are a large number of wealthy families and two retainers to submit, but Oda Nobunaga's direct banner is less than 10,000 people, these troops seem to be a lot, but if they are allocated to the cities in the territory, then there is basically not much left, and it is necessary to squeeze out the military strength to prevent possible rebellions in the newly acquired land, so even if he wants to help the clan, he does not have this ability for the time being
I only heard Nobunaga say: Whether you can capture Hida or not is your business, if you don't have the ability now, then it is not too late to go out into the army after you have the ability
The clan did not take into account the situation of the Oda family's combat strength, so it was just a try, his real purpose was to move some people to supplement his territory, he was afraid that after Nobunaga finished speaking, he opened his mouth to let him retreat, so he hurriedly said: The lord is now in the newly acquired land, not only has nearly 700,000 stone territory, but also has a population of more than 100,000 subordinates, I wonder if it can be .........,
Speaking of this, the clan sect did not go down, after all, if the population is moved, it can only be moved from the land under the jurisdiction of Oda Nobunaga, which is tantamount to fundamentally weakening the strength of the Oda family's direct force, so the clan is really a little speechless
However, in China, across the sea, although there are not many such things, there is also a history to check, but now in Japan, it is a new thing, so no matter how shrewd Nobunaga is, he can't guess what the clan is going to say, seeing that the clan is talking secretly, Nobunaga couldn't help frowning, and asked with some displeasure: What are you going to say
Seeing that Nobunaga didn't understand what he meant at all, the clan had to bite the bullet and say: The lord's subordinates mean that they hope that the lord's public grace will lead the commoners in the newly acquired land to his subordinate territory, so that it only takes a year for his subordinates to train an elite army to capture Hida, and the certainty of seizing Hida is greater, and with this elite subordinate, he has the confidence to guard the east gate for the lord
After hearing this, Nobunaga just said lightly: Get out of the way for me
The clan was not sure about this matter, after all, this touched Nobunaga's bottom line, so he had made full preparations before he spoke, so when Nobunaga finished speaking, the clan did not feel any panic, but Nobunaga was now angry, so he had to retreat and find another way
Along the way, the clan secretly calculated that the existing strength of the family was 50 elite armor horses, 15 scimitar horses, 15 iron cannons and heavy vine bows, ashigaru combined, there were 150 ninja troops, 500 and 500 new food groups available, a total of more than 1,500 heads, which seemed to be a lot, but if the Hida strategy was carried out, it would be too little
According to the intelligence, the Uesugi family alone has three thousand troops stationed in Hida, but the Uesugi army is not comparable to the one or two thousand peasant soldiers of the Ji Xiaolu family, even if it is the same number as the Uesugi army, there is no certainty of victory, let alone half of the opponent's army, alas, this is really a headache, and it took a lot of hard work to finally get Hida, but now there is no ability to attack, which is really helpless
And just when the clan felt helpless, Nobunaga was still sitting in the assessment room, thinking about what the clan had just said, Nobunaga did feel very angry at the beginning, and even his evaluation of it dropped a little, but after all, the clan made a great contribution to the family, so soon the dissatisfaction in Nobunaga's heart dissipated
And that's not all, he also began to seriously consider the method that the clan had just said
It is impossible to move the civilians of the land under his rule, but if it is not the civilians of his own territory, then it seems that there is no problem, and Nobunaga immediately thought of the Ashikaga family
As a public family, Nobunaga certainly didn't want him to become strong, otherwise it would cause great trouble to his general policy of military deployment in the world, and if the Ashikaga family wanted to become strong, then military strength and money and land were indispensable, and if he wanted to weaken the military power of the Ashikaga family, then the best way was to make him unable to recruit enough troops
Thinking of this, Nobunaga's eyes couldn't help but light up, why didn't he take advantage of Ashikaga Yoshiaki's arrival to relocate a large number of civilians in the territory of the Ashikaga family, which not only met the needs of Senbei, but also greatly weakened the strength of the Ashikaga family, which was definitely a good plan to kill two birds with one stone
In the samurai mansion that temporarily belonged to the clan in Luozhong City, as soon as he saw that the lord came back, he sat in the hall with a frown, although the retainers were also sitting here, but no one dared to disturb the lord's thinking, just sat there quietly
After a long time, although the clan still did not raise his head, he whispered to himself: Alas, even so, it is still worse
Seeing that the lord finally moved, if he didn't ask now, I don't know when he would have to wait, so after he just finished speaking, Sanada Masayuki hurriedly said: I don't know what the lord said, it is not enough, and his subordinates are willing to share the worries of the lord
The subordinates were willing to worry about the Lord and the other retainers also hurriedly echoed the voice...,
The clan couldn't help but raise his head, and when he saw that the retainers were already sitting in the hall, he couldn't help but say: The lord has already rewarded me with the Hida Kingdom, and the letter of appointment should come down in the next two days......
Before the clan finished speaking, the retainers below began to argue, and the lord finally became the lord of the country, although the Hida country is a little smaller, only more than 40,000 stones, and it is also poor, but in how to say that this is also a country, and the most important thing for the retainers is that as long as the lord becomes the lord of a country, then although it is still the identity of the retainer of the Oda family, but it is also the name of the country, and his identity will no longer be restricted, even if the lord is still the general of the Oda family, but the retainers under his command can be promoted to the old general, and his identity will no longer be subject to any restrictions
Seeing that there was already a mess below, the clan knocked on the floor hard, and the retainers realized that they were too unreasonable, so they hurriedly sat down and waited for the lord to finish speaking
Don't be happy, it's too early, it's not easy to capture Hida, I think everyone already knows that the Uesugi family is currently in Hida, with 3,000 soldiers, and the Eda family has the protection of the Takeda family, and what does the family have, now it's full of 1,500 troops, and with the scale of the family's territory, this is already the limit, and the lord has already explained that this time the family will seize the Hida will not send a soldier to support, so we can only rely on ourselves to complete it, just listen to the clan said helplessly (to be continued, if you like this work, you are welcome to come (.)
