After the clan had finished inspecting the new territory, as soon as he returned to Hachiman Castle in the gun, he gathered his retainers. (It only takes 3 seconds to remember the genius)

Since the entire territory of Mino is now controlled by the Oda family, there is no need for the Maeda Toshiya to guard the town of Washiyama, and the clan decisively transferred him back.

Not only that, but the clan knew that since this battle, the Ji Xiaolu family would never dare to invade the border again, so they also transferred all the Toyamauchi Ichitoyo and his childish sword Ashigaru back, and only the ninja army of Wasuka Masakatsu was left at the border to guard there.

The reason why the clan sect would do this, in fact, had already had an idea, he thought that if he sent people to defend every city he obtained as before, this would be unnecessary, and second, the army was too scattered, which was not conducive to development, and if it encountered other forces to attack, it would be equally easy to be defeated by each other.

Therefore, the clan plans to leave only one army in the territory to be responsible for defense, and the other armies are only responsible for external wars, so that he does not have to temporarily raise troops when he goes to war.

This made the clan think of the new writing group in later generations, although the main task of the army he wanted to establish was territorial defense, but on this basis, he was also responsible for annihilating mountain bandits and arresting sharp and thin work.

In this way, with the scale of the current territory, it is enough to have an army of 500 people, if this method is feasible, then in the future, the clan will not mind forming a second, third, or even a dozen more troops responsible for the defense of the territory.

And the leader of this new group must be absolutely loyal to himself, lest he catch fire in the backyard when he leads his army out to fight.

The clan originally wanted to leave the position of the leader of the new writing group to Yamanaka Kanosuke who defected to him in the future, in this era, I am afraid that no one will be more loyal than him, but this will be at least a few years away, and now the clan can no longer wait, and with the expansion of the territory, this matter can not be delayed any longer.

Thinking of this, the clan couldn't help but set his eyes on Yamauchi Kazutoyo, this person was the first batch of retainers to follow him, and there was no problem in terms of loyalty, if he was allowed to lead the new team to be responsible for the defense and security of the territory, he could rest assured.

Moreover, don't look at Yamauchi Kazutoyo compared to other retainers in his family, his ability is not outstanding, but if he is put in charge of guarding the territory and maintaining law and order, his ability is more than enough.

Besides, do you plan to let him be in charge of this matter alone, Maeda Keiji has been almost honed compared to the original, and at his age, he is no longer suitable to continue to be his close attendant, the most important thing is that Yamauchi Kazutoyo has a conservative personality, but Maeda Keiji is too aggressive, if he lets the two of them partner, it just complements each other, and the territory can be guaranteed.

Thinking of this, I only heard the clan ask from the clan: "Yifeng, how many young swords are there in this family now?" ”

Yamauchi Kazutoyo didn't expect the lord to ask him about the childish knife when he came up, so he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then said: "Back to the lord, according to the lord's last order, now the childish knife ashigaru has been expanded to 200 people, and the training has been completed, and he is ready to be dispatched by the lord at any time." ”

After hearing this, the clan nodded, and then spoke: "I plan to expand the number of people who are childish to five hundred......

After the clan sect said this, all the retainers present were moved, five hundred? This is really too much, if the number of young swords is really enlarged to five hundred, then this number is almost close to the sum of the other armies of the family, what is the lord going to do, why is he going to expand the weakest combat power?

Even if you want to expand, you should give priority to expanding the scimitar cavalry or the elite armor cavalry with strong combat power, even if you expand the number of iron cannon ashigaru, it will be much stronger than including the childish knife ashigaru, is it because the lord has no money to give priority to expanding the number of young knife ashigaru? …,

It shouldn't be, the lord not only has three sparrow houses that are close to gold as a source of funds, but also has an iron cannon business with the Southern Barbarians, so he will never be short of money, and the lord has always taken the route of elite soldiers, and he will definitely not be the first to expand the weakest fighting power for no reason.

And as the commander of the childish sword ashigaru, Yamauchi Kazutoyo doesn't think so, since he commanded this army, he has always believed that it is not that the combat power of the childish sword ashigaru is insufficient, but that the number of young sword ashigaru is not enough to expand the number of the childish sword ashigaru on the current basis, then the combat power of the childish knife ashigaru will never lose to any army in the family, and his idea is not unequivocal, he has carefully calculated that the cost of equipping a fine armor rider or scimitar ashigaru can recruit four young ashigaru, Doubling the number of people is on par with the combat power of your own cavalry, and if you increase it by four times, it will definitely surpass your cavalry a lot in terms of combat power.

He had always wanted to talk to the lord about it before, but he had never been able to speak, and today, the lord actually mentioned it directly, how could he not feel flattered.

Thinking of this, I saw that Yamauchi Kazutomi had an excited look on his face, and hurriedly saluted and said, "Thank you, lord, and my subordinates will then go to recruit." ”

I saw that the clan sect waved his hand and said: "I haven't finished my words yet, I have decided to change the name of the new writing group to the new writing group, and under normal circumstances, it is no longer responsible for external operations, and the task of the new writing group is to be responsible for guarding the inner city of the territory, maintaining stability in the territory, and capturing the sharp points in the territory."

And in order to distinguish it from other military forces, therefore, from today onwards, the new writing group will use the word Cheng to rely on the flag, and the armor jacket is black mountain pattern feather weaving, can you hear clearly? ”

After listening to Yamauchi Kazutoyo, the excitement just now was also swept away, what was the purpose of his hope that the lord would be a childish sword ashigaru, not to be able to get more merits on the battlefield, but now, although the lord has expanded the childish sword ashigaru, he also does not let himself fight, for a while, Yamauchi Ichitoyo is really a little puzzled.

As there are more and more capable retainers in the family, there are fewer and fewer opportunities for him to fight, is it because the lord feels that his ability is too poor to make this decision? Won't you be able to do nothing in your own family in the future?

The more Yamauchi Yifeng thought about it, the more sad he became, he was also an old minister who had followed the lord for many years, when the identity of the lord was just a light head, he had become a retainer of the Takayama family, since then, he has been conscientious, he did not dare to relax, and then there was no great credit, but there was still some hard work, and he always thought that the lord was affectionate and righteous, but he did not expect that the Takayama family had just had some scale, and the lord kicked himself away, which really made him feel very chilled.

The people present, in addition to Honda Masanobu, are also holding grievances for Yamauchi Kazutoyo, although it is not their own business, but they can't help but think that after they lose their role, will they be like Yamauchi Kazutoyo, and arrange such a position? So why are you still working so hard now?

Among the retainers seated, only Honda Masanshin could understand the purpose of the lord's actions, and in his opinion, the advantages of the lord's approach were obvious, if so, then the defense in the territory would be greatly strengthened, and in the future, when going out to the army, there was no need to worry about someone taking the opportunity to attack the territory, and the military situation of fighting outside would also be greatly improved in terms of combat effectiveness, which was really a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, Honda Masatin saw that the faces of Yamauchi Ichitoyo and the other retainers in the family were not right, and he had already guessed their thoughts, and couldn't help but open his mouth to solve everyone's doubts, when the retainers heard that the work given to Yamauchi Ichitoyo by the main bus was so important, they couldn't help but be full of envy for it, and they also felt very ashamed of their own ideas of slandering the lord just now. …,

It's really undeserved to think of the lord as such an ungrateful villain, and Yamauchi Kazutoyo is also very ashamed now, the military advisor is right, the lord will be in danger of the territory, the survival of the family has been handed over to himself, what a great trust this is, he still wants to push back and block, secretly slander the lord, it is really a loss of the way to be a minister, this is really too undeserved, in the future, he can only swear to defend the safety of the territory, in order to repay the lord's great kindness.

Moreover, Yamauchi Kazutoyo also thought that although he would not have the opportunity to fight in the future, however, when the lord was not there, the battle in the territory would be fully responsible for himself, and the current lord territory was still small, and Zhou Wei did not have any strong power, so the new writing group was indeed useless for the time being, but with the continuous expansion of the territory under the lord's rule, it would always be bordering those who were in the general trend in the future, and then it would be time for him to show his talents.

Thinking of this, he only listened to Yamauchi Yifeng give a deep salute, and said: "Lord, my subordinates can only swear to protect the safety of the lord's territory and come to repay the lord's great kindness." ”

"In the future, maintaining the safety of the territory, the responsibility for the safety of my family will be entrusted to you, and I will be disappointed." Seeing that Yamauchi Kazutoyo had finally figured it out, the clan couldn't help but nod with satisfaction and spoke.

"Please rest assured, your subordinates will live up to the trust of your lord."

The clan clan looked at him with a firm gaze, and then said, "Where is Keiji Maeda!" ”

Maeda Keiji, who was standing behind the clan, heard the lord shouting his name, and couldn't help but walk a few steps quickly, came to the clan, saluted and said, "The subordinates are here, please give the lord's orders." ”

"I now appoint you as the head of the Takayama family, the deputy leader of the new writing group, and jointly lead the new writing team with Yamauchi Kazutoyo."

Maeda Keiji knew that if he became the deputy commander of this new group, then he would have no chance to fight in the future, which was not what he wanted, but Maeda Keiji immediately thought about it, don't care about the position of this deputy commander, but it is much better than being the lord's close attendant, anyway, he is still young, maybe the lord will be happy one day, and he will change his position, so let's talk about it first.

Thinking of this, I heard Maeda Keiji hurriedly replied: "Thank you to the lord, my subordinates must swear allegiance to the lord and the Takayama family." ”

"Well, without further ado, the two of you should immediately go and prepare for the establishment of a new writing group." I just listened to what the clan said.

"Yes, the subordinates retired." After the two of them saluted again, they quickly retreated.
