What can the clan mean, of course, it is to select useful people from it to fill the army, originally he just had the attitude of trying, but just now he heard three names randomly reported outside in the sparrow house, all of them are historical figures, although they are all some second- and third-rate samurai, but this is enough to attract the attention of the Takayama clan, and it has not been able to solve the problem of the lack of ability of the middle and lower-level samurai, and it should be solved after this Antu line.

Thinking of this, I only heard the Takayama clan say: "Lord Matsuoka, the clan thinks that these people are gathered here all day long, which not only has a great impact on the security of Azuchi Town, but also there may be some buried talents among them, so I plan to recruit a group of them, first, to make some contributions to the stability of Azuchi Town, and secondly, to enhance the strength of the family, but there are too many of them, and it is difficult to choose for a while, which is more troublesome." ”

Matsuoka Takamitsu has also been mixed in the officialdom for more than ten or twenty years, and his average ability not only did not die in the war, but he lived as a general, and served as an important position in the garrison of Azuchi, which is enough to show his ability in this regard, he knows very well in his heart that the trouble of the leader is his own opportunity, and it is precisely because he has always taken this sentence as a motto that he can be promoted again and again, and now Takayama is in trouble, and it is just easy for himself to do, He immediately realized that his opportunity had come again.

So I heard him hurriedly say: "Since Lord Gao Shan has the heart to recruit talents, it is better to hand over this matter to the subordinates, and the subordinates will ensure that they can pick out useful talents from them for Lord Gao Shan." ”

Seeing that Matsuoka Gaoguang was so upright, the clan was very satisfied. Although the clan has decided to recruit a large number of useful people from among the ronins. Can be his current identity. If you have to do everything yourself, it doesn't matter if you recruit one or two, once you personally recruit a large number of people, you will inevitably be ridiculed by samurai of the same level, of course, if the clan wave your hand, you will recruit all the ronins present, it will definitely not be ridiculed, others will only say that the Takayama family is rich and does not care. Or someone can't come out of the grapes and say that the clan is sour, but he doesn't want to do it, after all, among these ronins in front of him, at a glance, not to mention how the ability is, just those who are old, the clan does not want to recruit, although most of the recruits this time will become middle and lower-level commanders, and they can be appropriately relaxed for age, but that can't recruit some old grandfathers. After all, these people are going to go to war, if they haven't run two steps yet. I am tired to death first, so what should I do with the ashigaru under his command, after the family is open this year, although it should not be inferior to the lower-level samurai, but the Takayama family is thriving now, but it is not a place to retire, so even if there is money, these people must be excluded.

Thinking of this, I only heard the clan sect say politely: "Lord Matsuoka is responsible for the garrison of Azuchi Town, if this is the case, won't it delay the work of the master, so the clan clan feels that this matter is still a little inappropriate." ”

Matsuoka Takamitsu has already become a human elf, although Takayama-sama is refusing on the surface, but he knows in his heart that the other party still intends to hand over this matter to himself, with such a premise, he immediately said: "Takayama-sama is too worried, now the security of Azuchi Town is definitely guaranteed, to say that the biggest hidden danger is probably these ronins, if you can help Takayama deal with their affairs, not only will it not affect the work, but it will be more beneficial to Azuchi, and he will be in charge of this town for several years, I still know a little about most ronin, so you must get twice the result with half the effort when you choose it for adults. ”

After hearing this, the Gaoshan Clan Sect said with satisfaction: "Since this is the case, the Clan Sect has thanked the lord." ”

"Lord Takayama is polite, as the garrison of Azuchi, this should be done in the future." Now that he was down to business, Matsuoka Takamitsu couldn't help but ask, "I don't know what conditions Takayama-sama has for recruiting them, so it's better to do what Takayama-sama wants." ”

"Well, since the adults asked, the clan will say it, first of all, don't be over-forty years old in terms of age, after all, the Gaoshan family still expects them to fight, of course, if it is a talent in internal affairs, it can be relaxed in this regard, according to the other party's talents, the second is to recruit the ronin from the martial family, it is best to have a small family, and if there is no small family, you should interrogate carefully, so as not to mix with the spies, as for the ronins from the civilian background, so let's give them a chance, as long as they have a beginner's ability, or have a genius, they can."

After the clan sect finished speaking, after thinking about it for a while, Matsuoka Gaoguang still felt that such a condition was too simple, if it was recruited according to this condition, then at least half of these ronins present could be outstanding, isn't this too child's play? Since he didn't know that the Takayama Clan wanted to recruit a large number of lower-level samurai or flag warriors this time, of course, the more the better.

Since Matsuoka Takamitsu didn't know this, he had to ask: I don't know what restrictions Takayama-sama has in terms of numbers? ”

"There are no restrictions, as long as you are eligible, the more people the better. The clan is not afraid of people, even if all these people meet the conditions, the Gao Shan family has enough positions to digest them, and even so, there are still a lot of vacancies, after all, the Gao Shan family has only been born for more than ten years, and compared with the forces that have been tens or hundreds of years at every turn, the background of the family is too far behind.

After hearing what the Clan Sect said, although no one dared to make a loud noise, their hearts were completely boiling. Because most people think that this time it would be good for Takayama to be able to select a dozen or so people from his own people, but the momentum, according to what Takayama just said, then at least more than half of them are eligible, is Takayama really planning to recruit so many retainers at once? Many people began to express doubts in their hearts, but soon abandoned this idea, who is the other party? That's the famous Takayama Lord, can Takayama still coax himself? At the same time as being excited, some people thought of the lucky person who was recruited as a retainer by Niwa-sama before, and now no one thinks he is lucky anymore, and even feels some sympathy for him, if that person knows about it, it is estimated that he will even have the heart to cry.

And after Matsuoka Takamitsu had a spectrum in his heart, he knew what he should do, to put it bluntly, this time to help Takayama-sama recruit retainers, what he needed to do was actually the simplest preliminary screening, and in the end, whether to recruit as a retainer or not still needed Takayama-sama to decide, how could he have so much power. Therefore, he came up with a good idea, which is to first screen out all the people who do not meet the requirements, and if they meet the conditions, select literate people from the ashigaru under his command, register the names, ages, and abilities of these people, and then give them to Takayama-sama for inspection, so that this work can be completed and Takayama-sama can understand these people.

With this idea in mind, Matsuoka Takamitsu immediately borrowed a few sets of tables, chairs, paper and pens for sale from the sparrow house, and selected five names with good ashigaru and began to get busy.

For Matsuoka Gaoguang's efficiency, the clan is still very satisfied, but these ronins are estimated to be growing up with martial arts, and this is also the most important thing for him to recruit retainers this time, so in order to avoid burying talents, or there are people who fish in troubled waters, so the clan still follows the leader of the flag samurai

Ke'er beside him has only been hidden, this person's swordsmanship and swordsmanship are not low, and it is enough for him to be responsible for inspecting the martial arts of these ronins.

After arranging this, he could have returned directly to Kofu, but he had to spend a few days in Azuchi, so he took Keiji Maeda and the samurai Hajimoto who was in charge of the defense, and returned to his own samurai mansion in Azuchi Castle for a while.

Although the Takayama clan has long been sent abroad, there is still his samurai mansion in this Azuchi City, after all, after the annual assessment, if he is not in a hurry, he will live here for a while, I don't know if it is him, the commanders of the six legions and the retainers sent by the expatriates all have a place to live, but their residences are not as luxurious as the six legion leaders.

For three days in a row, the clan felt that Matsuoka Gaoguang and Keer Caizang should be about the same, so he got up early this morning and came to Azuchi again, and sure enough, as soon as the clan and his party appeared in front of the sparrow house, they saw Matsuoka Gaoguang and Keer Caizang and immediately ran over, especially Matsuoka Gaoguang was still holding a thick stack of files in his hand. And the surrounding ronins also gathered around after seeing the clan, but some of them were excited, and some sighed, and it was obvious that many people were still defeated.

"See Lord (Lord Takayama)," said the two of them as soon as they approached.

"Alright, let's go inside." After the clan finished speaking, he didn't care about the others, and walked into the sparrow house by himself.

After bringing it to the ashram on the second floor for the samurai to rest, the clan asked, "How is the recruitment going?" ”

Matsuoka Takamitsu immediately took the lead and said: "Back to Takayama-sama, after three days of screening, a total of 179 people have met the requirements for adults and passed the test. Among these ronins, there are 99 people who are from martial arts families and have families, 43 people who have no families but have outstanding abilities, and the rest are from civilian backgrounds, but they are all long. In addition, among these ronin, there are one hundred and thirteen people who are good at military law, these people all have experience in command before, and secondly, they are outstanding in martial arts, but there are forty-four people who are just ordinary samurai before, and the rest have some experience in internal affairs. This is the name and ability of these people, and the age, which has been registered below, and I would like to ask Takayama-sama to look at it. (To be continued.) )
