It took a day to move the things needed from the samurai mansion of Shimosha Castle to Cheongju Castle, so the clan clan also returned to Dongqi Castle with the team.

In the evening, in the assessment room of Dongqi Castle, all the retainers under his command had already arrived, and even Yamada Nagamasa, who was only in charge of the sparrow house, also appeared here. This is the first time that the clan has held an evaluation meeting, so the retainers are all very solemn, and they are all sitting in tight clothes, and no one is laughing.

Sitting on the right are Maeda Toshiie, Wasuka Koroku, Yamauchi Kazutoyo, and sitting on the left of the assessment room are Kagawa Tadaji, Nakamura Kazuji and Yamada Nagamasa, originally the three of them wanted to sit on the side, but this seat was arranged by the clan himself, and they could only sit in their own places according to the instructions.

This seat also determines the arrangement of the clan for them, and all those who sit on the right are the leading generals, and the left side is the family servant.

After a while, the clan clan walked out of the inner room unhurriedly, and after sitting down on the main seat, he said: "This time the city was built by Momata, and the Bee Suga Koroku contributed a lot, and now he is given the name Zhengsheng, and the reward is 200 yuan." ”

Wasuka Masakatsu was overjoyed in his heart, most of them were old thieves for many years, and they still had some savings, so he didn't care much about the 200 yuan, but this lord gave him a name, it was a great honor, he hurriedly saluted and said: "Thank you, my subordinates swear allegiance to the lord." ”

The clan nodded, and said to Maeda Toshiya and Yamauchi Kazutoyo: "In this battle, the two of you have made a lot of contributions, and each of you will be rewarded with a hundred dollars." ”

"My subordinates, thank you for the reward."

"Okay, let's get down to business now, now there are 100 people in the family, this is the way I came up with to govern the army, and all the flags in the family will act according to this in the future." After speaking, the clan took out a codex from his bosom and handed it to the retainers to circulate.

After all the retainers opened it one by one, they saw that the handwriting on it was beautiful, and it didn't look like the clan had done it himself, and there were not many words on the codex, but each one made the retainers feel frightened, they had never seen such a strict law of governing the army, if they really acted on it, then the combat power of the family was definitely not as simple as doubling.

I saw that it was written: Those who do not obey orders will be beheaded, those who do not bravely fight will be beheaded, those who retreat without permission will be beheaded, those who bewitch the hearts of the army will be beheaded, those who kill each other will be beheaded, those who betray the enemy will be beheaded, those who deceive others will be beheaded, and those who commit the following crimes will be beheaded!

After a series of eight slashes, the retainers could not calm down for a long time, and after a while, Maeda Toshiya was the first to say: "If you train lightly according to the eight slashing methods mentioned by the lord, then the lord's flag will be invincible in the world." ”

Eight slashes? This name is loud enough, not bad, and it will simply be called the Eight Slash Method in the future. Clan Zong said: "Zuo, the matter of training Ashigaru will be handed over to you, your task is to train these Ashigaru into the elite of the elite, and also imprint the Eight Slash Method into their brains, I will see the effect in three months." ”

"Yes, my subordinates will live up to the trust of my lord." Seeing that the lord had entrusted him with this important task, Maeda Toshiya was overjoyed and hurriedly replied.

Yamauchi Kazutoyo doesn't think so, he thinks that the law of governing the army that the lord said is too harsh, if it is really implemented at home, then it will not be good, and the flags in the family have all mutinied before the battle.

He didn't make a mistake in thinking so, after all, basically all the samurai were still using peasant soldiers to fight, and the banners were only a small part, and the lord had recruited so many banners as soon as he came up, and he already had some opinions on this, and now he was going to use the eight slashes to rule the army, so he had to open his mouth to advise.

I only heard Yamauchi Ichitoyo frowned, and said tactfully: "Lord, is it too strict to train Ashigaru with the Eight Slashing Method, if Qiben is resentful because of this, not only will his combat power not be improved, but if he suffers from it, it will be more than worth the loss, and please think twice." ”

What Yamauchi Kazutoyo said, the clan has already considered, he believes that the law he has set up to govern the army is just the most basic thing, and if even the most basic loyalty and obedience cannot be guaranteed, it can only be regarded as a rabble in the end. He won't budge on that.

"If you don't train strong soldiers, how can you get meritorious service? I have made up my mind, there is no need to say much about this matter," the clan said firmly.

Yamauchi Kazutoyo saw that the lord was resolute, although he was still a little worried about it, but he could only accept it helplessly, and he also had some expectations in his heart, if he could really practice, if he didn't care about the equipment, I am afraid that even Takeda Akabei would be overshadowed. ,

Seeing that the retainers no longer had any objections to this, the clan said to Kagawa Tadaji: "You take 5,000 kan and give you a month to buy 100 iron cannons, 100 war horses, and 100 swords."

Kagawa Tadaji thought to himself, what is the lord doing here? It was not easy for the family to accumulate more than 8,000 yuan, and it would cost most of it at once, thinking of this, he said very painfully: "Lord, are you planning to use these ration flags in a light way?" This... Isn't that a waste? ”

In fact, this is also a temporary decision made by the clan, to say that the elite Takeda Akabi is one, and Date riding iron is not much worse than it, and it is definitely the elite of the elite, since Date Masamune has not been born yet, so the clan will use it directly without apologies.

But when he thought that although the riding iron was strong, after all, the impact power was insufficient, and he could only rely on speed and long-range attack ability to harass the enemy, so the practicality was greatly reduced.

But soon, the clan thought of a solution, the knife assault horse, this kind of cavalry is armed with a childish sword, more assault than the red preparation with a spear, although not as famous as the red preparation, but in terms of ability is more than inferior, if the iron and the knife are integrated, whether it is long-range or assault combat.

And how strong a cavalry like this will be, the clan is looking forward to it. Without the slightest hesitation, he rejected Kagawa Tadaji's opinion, and then looked at Yamauchi Kazutoyo and said, "Ichitoyo, you are responsible for protecting along the road, and there is no room for error!" ”

"It's the lord."

After hearing that the lord was going to spend a lot of effort to equip his banner, unlike Kagawa Tadaji, the other retainers were particularly excited, they regarded money as something outside their bodies, and they looked at money very lightly, but they regarded their meritorious status as higher than the sky.

If the banner under the command of the lord is light and strong, it will be easier to obtain meritorious deeds and thus get promoted. And they themselves will naturally rise with the tide. However, they still don't know their lord, how can they get into the eyes of the clan with such a flag, and the clan is just using these hundred ashigaru to do a test.

The clan clan focused on Yamada Nagamasa again, and asked, "Nagamasa, how is the income of the Sparrow House recently?" ”

"Back to the lord, since the opening of the Sparrow House, except for the first month of selling membership cards to earn a lot of money, the remaining two months have stabilized, and the last two months can earn an average of about 10 yuan a day."

After hearing this, the clan was happy in his heart, earning 10 times a day? It's 3,650 guan a year, plus 500 stone zhixing, which means that now you can earn more than 4,000 guan a year, even if you subtract the expenses of retainers, ashibashi and daily consumption, then you can leave 1500 guan. Now not only has the dilemma of lack of money at home been solved, but also there is a lot of surplus, how should the money be spent? You can't let Tadaji Kagawa count all day long.

The clan is thinking quickly, this money obviously can't let it rot at home, and it is the right way to use this money to strengthen its own strength, but now it has a hundred banners, and even many people with the status of generals do not have so many banners under their command, which is already very jealous of other retainers, and if it is expanded, it will not be as simple as attracting jealousy.

The sparrow house is his weakness, if someone makes a bad suggestion that Nobunaga change the sparrow house to free, I'm afraid Nobunaga shouldn't refuse, even if Nobunaga is gracious and doesn't take the sparrow house away, just let him pay a lot of taxes, this is not something the clan can bear, if the clan really wants to cry without tears at that time.
