After the 1,500 troops were distributed, the total army directly under the clan had reached 4,500 people, including 100 samurai in Qimoto, 1,000 in fine armor and scimitar ashigaru, 500 in iron cannons, 1,100 in the new group, about 300 in Omiya Keiren's heavy vine bow ashigaru, and 1,500 ninja troops, and the strength was greatly improved.

Originally, the number of the directly subordinate troops of the clan should be able to exceed five thousand, but because of the previous several major battles, there was no time for the army under his command to replenish, in order to form combat strength as soon as possible, he could only be drawn from the new writing group first, otherwise the number of new writing groups could reach at least 1,500 people.

Although the matter of expanding the army has been resolved, I am afraid it will take a long time for them to truly form combat power, but now the clan has no time.

I heard him speak again: "Ladies and gentlemen, at present, the Takeda family is contacting the surrounding forces of the Oda family to launch an attack on the Oda family together, and according to my exchange of opinions with Lord Takenaka, we all believe that the Takeda family is very likely to launch a full-scale attack on the Oda family in one and a half to two months, and Hida will become the second battlefield, and at that time, Takeda Shingen will definitely add troops to Hida, so the next situation is not optimistic."

In order to make the newly recruited 1,500 troops build up their combat strength in the shortest possible time, I decided to double the training from today onwards, whether it is the new army or the original ashigaru. ”

After hearing this news, the retainers were all shocked, the Takeda family Kamiluo is not counted, the most unacceptable thing for them is that Hida will become one of the main targets of the enemy's attack, in this way, then the next thing the family will face is definitely a hard battle, so even if the clan does not say it, they will definitely double the training of the troops under their command.

And the clan clan understands the attitude of the retainers under his command now, not to mention them, after the analysis of the Takenaka half-guard, even after listening to it, he was also surprised.

So wait until the retainers have regained their calm. "But training alone is not enough, I have already met Yamada Nagamasa when I returned, and I am very dissatisfied with the current artisan village, and I have asked him to rebuild the industrial city.

And so it goes. At the current rate of production, only a hundred sets of armor weapons can be produced in a month, and even if you add the previous ones, it is only five hundred, which is far from enough, so I decided to go to Naya. Tennoya buys nearly a thousand sets of armor and weapons to arm the newly recruited Ashigaru, and this matter is handled by Kagawa Tadaji.

Tadaji, after a month and a half, a thousand sets of armor weapons must be purchased. Is there a problem? ”

After listening to this, Kagawa Tadaji silently calculated in his heart, and said with a sad face: "Back to the lord, there is a big problem with his subordinates. The family can't afford that money anymore. ”

This time it's really not Kagawa Tadaji who picks the door, in the face of big things, he still knows how to be familiar with the light. Now the Gao Shan family really can't come up with so much money, not to mention the previous construction of the road, which cost a lot of money, just to say that recently, the first purchase of the iron cannon production line by the lord is worth 30,000 yuan, and it will cost tens of thousands of yuan to recruit 1,500 ashigaru. ，

Although it is true that the lord's domain has expanded, and if it arrives in a few months, there is no need to worry, but now is not the harvest season, so the cost of the 1,500 people needs to be paid from the accumulation of the family. And once this payment is made, at least a few months later, there are only a few thousand yuan left in the family's account.

But now where did the tens of thousands of people who want to buy armor and weapons come from, even if Kagawa Tadaji is slaughtered, it will be impossible for him to raise so much money for a while.

I saw the clan said with a smile: "I know that you will say that, but you don't have to worry about money." The lord has decided to give the gold mine outside Sakura Cave City to the family, as long as the gold mine is in hand, the family is still worried about the lack of money. ”…,

"Is this true?" I only heard Kagawa Tadaji ask excitedly.

"What I say can still be fake, after the meeting, you immediately go to recruit the Nuggets, and those seven people will lead the work immediately. You remember to Lao Tzu that in a month and a half, I will see those thousand sets of armor no matter what. ”

"Yes, please rest assured that your subordinates will never live up to the trust of your lord."

Unlike the other retainers with happy faces, the two military advisors sitting at the bottom at the moment were full of worries, and they knew that no matter how generous the hall was, no matter how much it favored the lord, it would definitely not be given with gold mines.

Especially now, the Oda family has been divided into several factions, the main hall is not ignorant of the way, the reason why he doesn't care, is not to let a few factions compete with each other, so that the retainers of the Oda family are full of fighting spirit, now among these factions of the Oda family, the lord and Shibata Lord faction are the most powerful, if the main hall gives the gold mine to the lord again, then many samurai of the Oda family will definitely switch to this side, then Takayama and Shibata faction will be the most powerful in the Oda family, Even if other factions join forces, they will not be opponents, and the main hall definitely does not want such a situation to occur, and now that they have done so, then I am afraid that the price paid by the lord will not be too small.

Sure enough, when they thought of this, they only heard the clan sect speak: "Don't be too happy, although the lord gave the gold mine, but in exchange, from now on, there will be no help to the family, everything will depend on us, including this time with the Takeda army is about to unveil, the lord will not provide any help, so the situation is very serious." ”

When the clan finished speaking, the retainers who were still excited just now, the smiles on their faces at this moment were all frozen, the main hall did not send any reinforcements to support, so how to fight this battle, compared with the family, the Takeda family is definitely a behemoth, and Hida is still one of the main battlefields, with the strength of the Takeda family, it is easy to divide more than 10,000 troops to attack Hida, and the family except for more than 1,000 elite ashigaru and ninja army, there are only 1,500 recruits left, the Takeda army is famous, even if the combat power is not as good as the family, But it's not too much, and the number of opponents is too much more than the family, so it's not as simple as a hard battle.

Maeda Toshiya, as a veteran of the killing field, quickly recovered from the panic, only to hear him speak: "My lord, my subordinates think that although the main hall will not be assisting the family in the future, but with the connections of the lord in the Oda family, as long as the lord is willing, he can get a reinforcement of thousands of people at any time. ”

"Maeda-sama is right, the main hall will no longer provide any help to the family in the future, it does not mean that no one else can either, and since the family now has a gold mine, there is no need to worry too much about the military expenses of the reinforcements. As long as the lord can bring 4,000 reinforcements, then in this battle with the Takeda family, the total army of the family will reach nearly 9,000 people, so that even if the Takeda army has tens of thousands, the family can face it calmly. I only heard Omiya Jingren echo with his voice.

"What the two lords said is reasonable, according to what the lord said, there is still a month and a half to fight with the Takeda army, if you go to the retainers of the Oda family to ask for help, there is still plenty of time, and the subordinates are willing to go, please ask the lord to grant permission." Qinghai Guangxian also spoke.

After the three of them finished speaking, the retainers present were somewhat relieved. However, when they just relaxed, they saw that the clan shook his head and said: "You seem to have forgotten one thing, Hida is just one of the battlefields of the next big war, and it has begun to contact the forces around the Oda family, if the big war starts, then how can the lord not let the army under the command of the retainers participate in the war, so don't think about going to reinforcements in this battle." …,

However, Takenaka-sama and I both believe that if Takeda Shingen goes to Luo, the vast majority of his army will inevitably take the Tokaido, so the total force sent to Hida should not exceed 10,000, but even so, its army will be nearly twice as large as the main family, so this battle will only be the main family to do their best.

Mizuse Uemon, from now on, the family will send people to keep a close eye on the Hida Takeda Army, and report it every day, and no movement of the Takeda Army can escape my eyes. ”

"It's the lord, and the subordinates will do it."

"You wait to train Ashigaru immediately, and as soon as the armor and weapons are in place, the whole army will be sent to the front line of Kojima City to set up defenses, and the clan chief will stay and disband."

After the retainers left, they only heard the head of the Takayama clan say, "I don't know what the elder brother ordered to leave his subordinates alone." ”

"Chief, you've always been in charge of the gold mine outside Sakurato Castle. I wonder what the amount of gold is in this mine? I just heard the clan ask as soon as he spoke.

This gold mine is extremely important to the family, so the clan must be aware of it, and looking at the family, no one knows this gold mine better than the head of the Gao Shan clan, and the clan sect can ask who he can ask without asking.

The clan chief has been in charge of mining this gold mine for the Ji Xiaolu family for more than half a year, so as soon as the clan asked him, he replied without thinking: "Brother, with the exploration of his subordinates, this gold mine should be a medium vein, if it is fully developed, it should be able to obtain millions of gold worth of gold." ”

The head of the Gao Shan clan has been dealing with this gold mine every day for the past half a year, so he no longer feels any surprise, but the clan sect is not, he thought that as long as it is a small ore vein, it can make him satisfied, even if it is a micro mine, it is acceptable.

But now the Da press is a medium-sized ore vein, how can this not make him ecstatic, as long as the family has it, then there is no need to worry about the construction of Hida in the future, and the cost of building the road will no longer be a problem, and not only that, he can also buy a more advanced production line from Europe with Bruitkar, maybe he can also buy a big gun, once this powerful weapon is used for his own use, then the world will never escape the palm of his hand.
