Seeing that Nobunaga had already opened his mouth to hand over the task of training to himself, although he was helpless, but he couldn't disobey it, and when he was bored, he suddenly thought of an excellent way, if you want to improve the combat power of the Oda family, it's not simple, then separate the soldiers and farmers. If you use the cost of mobilizing peasants and soldiers to equip the flag book, there should be no problem in increasing the combat power by 50%.

Nobunaga saw that the clan clan bowed his head and pondered but did not accept the task, and said unhappily, "Don't you want to train Ashigaru for me?" ”

The clan knew that when he was thinking about things just now, he snubbed Nobunaga, so he hurriedly said: "Lord, in fact, it is not difficult to improve the combat power of the banner, but I am afraid that the lord will not be able to make up his mind to implement it." ”

After hearing this, Nobunaga no longer thought about the rude clan just now, and asked with interest, "Oh? What do you think, speak up and listen."

This matter is a major event that wants to change the family system, so the clan can't talk nonsense, and must carefully think through the steps, and let Nobunaga realize the benefits, so he didn't rush to speak, but said: "My lord, please allow your subordinates to carefully deliberate, I don't know how to give you an answer tomorrow?" ”

Nobunaga's mind has been aroused by the clan, of course, he will not be easily let go with his words, and Nobunaga has an impatient personality, and what he can do today will not be delayed until tomorrow, so he said: "You can think about it here, and I will give you a stick of incense." ”

Clan thought to himself, I wanted to talk to you well, but since you don't care, then Lao Tzu doesn't matter, but since I have just said that I have to think about it, I can't say it now, otherwise if Nobunaga thinks that he is playing tricks on him, it will not be good. The clan had no choice but to continue to maintain the posture of bowing his head and contemplation just now, waiting for time to pass.

It didn't take long for the clan to feel that it was too uncomfortable to sit like this, and when he saw that the time was almost up, he said, "My lord, my subordinates have thought about it." ”

"That's not going to come soon." After Nobunaga finished speaking, he immediately sat up straight again, waiting for the clan to speak.

I only heard the clan said: "My lord, my subordinates are thinking, if you don't recruit peasants from now on, and spend all the expenses for recruiting peasants on Qimoto Ashigaru, won't your combat power naturally increase." The subordinates manage this system and call it the separation of soldiers and peasants. ”

Seeing that Nobunaga was still thinking, the clan clan hurriedly said: "My lord, the peasants and soldiers cannot be compared with the banner at all, and although they don't need to spend money in peacetime, as long as they fight, they will spend a lot of military expenses at one time. In this way, not to mention the increase in combat power by fifty percent, in the opinion of subordinates, even if the combat power is doubled, it is not unusual, these are some of the shallow opinions of subordinates, please decide. ”

"No more recruiting peasant soldiers? So how many flags do you think could have taken part in the battle, apart from defending the castle? Nobunaga asked rhetorically.

The clan thought about it, and also felt that what Nobunaga said was reasonable, there were about 20 castles under the direct jurisdiction of Oda Nobunaga, several of which were such as Kiyosu, Gudu and other big cities, each city had at least about 200 ashigaru guards, and other small towns should also send 4 or 50 ashigaru, if it is calculated, the ashigaru who can really participate in the battle will not exceed 1000 ashigaru, which is really not enough to do anything.

Could it be that he proposed it too early? Come to think of it, the separation of soldiers and peasants was proposed by a monkey in 1588, when he was not far from the people of the world, but now Nobunaga only has Owari One Province, although there are more than 500,000 koku, but it is not enough.

However, if you don't implement the separation of soldiers and peasants, then you will definitely not be able to escape the task of training lightly, so the clan still stubbornly said: "Lord, just now my subordinates said that the cost of recruiting peasants can be used to recruit more flags, so that the strength of the lord's army will not increase?" ”

"Hmph, if you equip it according to those flags under your command, let alone recruit more, it would be good if half of the existing flags could be armed." Nobunaga snorted coldly and said, it can be seen that Nobunaga has begun to be a little jealous of the clan.

The clan has finally figured it out now, Nobunaga is really whimsical, and wants to arm the ashigaru to the teeth like himself, but Lao Tzu spent 5,000 kan just to arm 100 ashigaru, if you really want to arm tens of thousands of flags, not to mention that you only have more than 500,000 stone Zhixing, even if you add 500,000 more, it is absolutely impossible.

"Lord, like his subordinates, the ashigaru is only suitable for small-scale operations, and although it has some use in the real battle, but the role is not great, in the opinion of the subordinates, it is better to compile all the flags under your command into spears and ashigaru, and with the assistance of iron cannons, the combat power will naturally be greatly improved, so that the lord can not expand the flagbook." The clan sect hurriedly persuaded. ,

Nobunaga thought about it, and also felt that what the clan said was reasonable, there is no need for the ashigaru under his command to be the strongest, as long as he is stronger than the enemy, and if the spear ashigaru is the mainstay, it should be possible to expand the number of people in the flag to 5,000 people, and if he goes out of battle, under the command of the retainers, it should not be a problem to pull out a few thousand people.

Seeing Nobunaga thinking about it, the clan thought that he had to work harder, and strive to finalize this matter now, so that he would have a lot of dreams at night. I only heard him say again: "My lord, there is a cloud in military law: soldiers are expensive but not too expensive, besides, according to their subordinates, in addition to being able to support the scene, peasant soldiers are useless at all, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are not enough to succeed and more than to fail."

If you think about it, whether it is offensive or defensive, as long as it is blocked, it must be the peasant soldiers who flee first, and at worst, it will affect morale, and at worst, it may cause the whole army to collapse like an avalanche, and thus lose the whole battle. And if after the separation of soldiers and peasants, all ashigaru are banners, and there are eight slashing methods to cooperate, and ashigaru orders are prohibited, and there is such a team under the command of the lord who absolutely obeys orders, isn't it invincible and invincible?

Also, if the lord's command is all the flag of the flag, then the time for mobilization is omitted, so that our army does not need to mobilize, but the enemy needs to be prepared, and it is difficult for the Oda family not to win. Lord, please think twice, think twice, Lord! ”

The more Nobunaga listened, the more he felt that what the clan said was reasonable, so he no longer hesitated, and said solemnly: "What you said is right, I have decided that in the future, I will no longer recruit peasant soldiers, and expand the banner to 5,000 people." ”

Seeing Nobunaga's decision, the clan was relieved that he finally didn't have to do the drudgery of light training. However, thinking that the length of the spear used by Ashigaru is only two meters and five to three meters, the clan said again: "My lord, the spear used by Qimoto seems to be a little shorter now, and my subordinates think that the length of the spear should be extended to four meters, so that when attacking, it will definitely have an advantage, the spear Ashigaru blocks the enemy in front, and the iron cannon Ashigaru shoots in three sections in the back......"

Before the clan could finish speaking, Nobunaga said again: "You don't need to say it, I have decided to allocate 30,000 kan to equip the flag book." ”

"The lord is wise!"

However, the separation of soldiers and peasants is a major event after all, and even if Nobunaga acts arbitrarily and alone, he cannot help but notify his retainers and retainers, and I saw him shouting outside the door: "Hori Hidemasa, quickly recruit all the retainers to the assessment room to discuss matters." ”

Hori Hidemasa came into the house, glanced at the clan sadly, and said in his heart, it seems that he is going to break his leg again today.
