Chapter 508: Unexpected Joy

After listening to the lord's words, including Sanada Masayuki, the retainers sitting below were all dumbfounded.

If you think about it carefully, if you only rely on the family itself, it is indeed difficult to capture Hida, the strength of the family is elite, but the Uesugi family is not weak, and the number of people is still twice the strength of the family's army, even if it is repulsed, but if Uesugi Kenshin is in a hurry, then the consequences are unimaginable.

Although none of them had fought against the Uesugi family, the title of the god of war weighed on their hearts like a mountain.

And it's not just that, the Takeda family has now also put their hands into Hida, and now the two families have an alliance, and the Eima family can't move yet, otherwise it will be tantamount to blatantly trampling on the dignity of the Takeda family, and the Uesugi family can't deal with it, let alone add Takeda, so with the current situation, it is simply unrealistic to want to seize Hida.

Seeing that the retainers stopped talking, they only heard the clan sect speak: "It is impossible to capture Hida by the strength of the family now, so the most important thing for the family to do now is to accumulate strength." ”

"Yes, subordinates and others are subject to the lord's arrangement."

However, the retainers knew that they were afraid that the lord's words were just comforting themselves, no matter how much they accumulated strength, but the family's territory was limited, and the population was even more limited, even if the lord was rich, but he couldn't recruit enough troops, it was useless.

The clan didn't sit here for a long time, not to mention, it really made him come up with an extreme solution, but he wasn't too sure if he could succeed.

Clan thought that since the population under his rule was limited and he couldn't recruit an army of thousands of people, why couldn't he let the ninja replace him, in the battle with Matsunaga Hide. Wasuka Masakatsu once said that the reason why the number of ninja troops in his family is only a few hundred. That's because his requirements are too high, so that's why it's so, but if he relaxes his requirements a little, then the clan believes that the size of the ninja army will definitely increase several times, and there will be thousands of ninjas by then, plus more than a thousand ashigaru, it may not be possible to defeat Hida down.

Moreover, Hida is a place with many mountains and few plains, and this terrain is most suitable for ninja warfare. Now the question is, though. Even if you start recruiting now and you can recruit enough ninjas, it will take at least nearly a year of training, and with the current manufacturing capacity, even if you have some inventory. But if you want to arm a ninja army of thousands of people, it is impossible to produce enough ninja armor in the short term, and it seems that the attack on Hida can only be suppressed, but you must start preparing now.

Thinking of this, I only listened to the clan sect's opening and ordering: "Wasuka Masakatsu, Mizuse Uemon!" ”

"The subordinates are here, please give instructions to the lord."

"I order you two to return to the territory immediately and start recruiting ninjas. You can relax some requirements as appropriate, one year, I will only give you one year, and after one year, the size of the ninja army must reach at least three thousand, and it must be an army. Is there a problem? ”

"Please rest assured that your subordinates will live up to the trust of your lord." If you want to recruit 2,500 ninjas, it is easy for the famous Takayama family, after all, the generous treatment of the Takayama ninja has spread among the ninjas, but to recruit 2,500 qualified ninjas, and complete the training, then this time is a little nervous, even if the recruitment requirements are relaxed, it can't be too much, Wasuka Masakatsu and Mizuse Uemon Chi Dao are in a hurry, and they can't be delayed at every moment, so after answering, they immediately retired and returned to the territory to do this.

And as soon as the two of them left, they only heard the clan sect instruct again: "Karumi Mitsuxian, you go to Kai Town immediately, and order Yamada Nagamasa to immediately build a ninja armor and a ninja helmet, and I will also give him a year, and after a year, at least two thousand five hundred sets will be built." ”…,

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

"Report to the lord, Hasegawa Shu-sama is out asking to see you." As soon as Qinghai Guangxian got up, he saw a foot walking in briskly and speaking.

"Zhilu said, please."

It didn't take long for Hasegawa to walk in with a smile on his face. The clan clan thought that he had sent a letter of appointment, but this was not the case, and as soon as he came closer, he said, "Lord Gaoshan, the lord has ordered you to go and see him immediately. ”

What kind of medicine is sold in Nobunaga's gourd, he has only been out of the castle tower for an hour, and now he has called himself, I really don't know what he thinks.

At first, the clan thought that Nobunaga should not be a big deal to meet him this time, but when Nobunaga spoke, he couldn't help but be surprised, and only heard Nobunaga say: "I thought about your proposal carefully last time......

Hearing Nobunaga mention this, the clan couldn't help but light up in his eyes, he can bring up the old things again, then it proves that it is possible to carry it out, thinking of this, I saw the clan suddenly raised his head and waited for the following.

Nobunaga spoke again: "Although I cannot agree with you to move the population from the land under my rule, it is possible to transfer the land of the general's family, so I have decided to transfer the population of 3,000 households in his land to your territory......"

The clan didn't listen to the next words at all, he was still shocked by the three thousand households that were about to be obtained.

The territory obtained by the general's family is only less than 100,000 stones, and there are only a few families in total, and they will move away 3,000 at once, I am afraid that after the arrival of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, they will have to die of anger, but what does this matter to themselves, 3,000 households, even if there is only one male in a family, it is also 3,000 people, even if half of it is not in line with the requirements, and those who stay in the territory and are responsible for farming, then they can still make up about 1,000 troops, and then they will lead 2,000 ashigar, and 3,000 ninja troops will attack Feizen, even if the Shanshan family has 3,000 troops stationed, Nor can it be their own opponent.

His position in Nobunaga's heart,This time it is fully reflected.,And the way he put on that for the Oda family before finally paid off.,Who said that Nobunaga never thinks about others.,That's just because it's not enough.,As long as you do enough.,Then Nobunaga's lord is still good.。

It has been five days since the clan came out of the castle tower of Rakunaka City, and the clan has not only obtained a letter of appointment, but also promoted to the rank of family elder together, during these five days, the clan wanted to go out to see the situation of the population migration, after all, these populations belong to him, and he can't be neglected, but he has no chance to leave the samurai mansion at all.

Although he didn't make a big deal about being named the lord of the country, but he couldn't hide it from the important ministers of the Oda family, if he waited for himself to win Hida, then although he didn't have the most territory, he was the first to be appointed as the lord of the country, and the strength would also be the strongest retainer, so most of the people of the Oda family in the Yamashiro country came to congratulate, and after five days of tossing, the talent gradually decreased.

And today, after waiting in the hall for a while, the clan saw that no one came, so he didn't stay longer, first went to visit the Shibata Katsu family's mansion, after all, he was really good to himself, so he had to go, but the clan didn't stay in his residence for a long time, and now his mind was all on the population migration, and the Shibata Katsuya also understood the mood of the clan very well, so after he proposed to leave, he didn't stay.

As soon as the clan came out of the samurai mansion of the Shibata Katsuya, he saw that Watanabe Moritsuna had already appeared outside the door with fifty elite armored horsemen, of course, Ishikawa Goemon who was secretly protecting and thirty ninjas lurking in the shadows should also be not far away. …,

Now that the mountain city has just been captured, the clan does not dare to be careless. The stone height of the land of Otoharon County is about 60,000 koku, and it is definitely the largest county in the Yamashiro Province, but because it is located in the plains and the land is fertile, the place is not too large, and since Nobunaga only allows the civilians in this county to move, it is now certain that the Ashikaga family will only be able to obtain this land.

Since the 3,000 civilian households were divided into various villages, it was now possible to occasionally see dozens or hundreds of people heading east, but around them were dozens or hundreds of Oda family elite Ashigaru, and these ashigaru were going to return to Mino anyway, so they had to take on the task of escorting.

"Ahh Just as the clan watched the group of civilians leave, a sudden scream came into his ears.

When the clan looked back, he saw an elite of the Oda family whipping the civilians incessantly, and began to curse incessantly.

Seeing this, the clan couldn't help frowning, and led his subordinates to rush over. "Stop, why whip civilians!" I only heard the clan ask with displeasure on his face.

If it is normal to say that there are people in the Oda family flag who do not know the Takayama clan, but there is no one who does not know the Takayama family's Danyama pattern.

And this Ashigaru, who was beating people, was a veteran of the Oda family, but he recognized him at a glance.

Seeing that Takayama-sama actually appeared in front of him, the ashigaru couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, during the Ise raider, this ashigaru was crazy trained by the clan, and now seeing Takayama Daisan's displeasure, he hurriedly threw away the leather whip in his hand, saluted and said: "Back to Takayama-sama, these untouchables deliberately delay and travel slowly, so their subordinates will beat people, and please ask Takayama-sama to decide." ”

After hearing this, the clan did not pay attention to him, but turned over and dismounted, came to the beaten civilian, first picked him up, and then asked kindly, "Is what he said true?" ”

A noble samurai was saying no to himself, such a thing had never been encountered, so he was stunned for a long time and did not answer at all.

However, although he didn't say anything, a slightly older villager next to him helped him speak, it turned out that this civilian was seriously ill, not to mention walking quickly, it was good to be able to walk, so it was because of him that the speed of travel was affected.

After hearing this, the Takayama clan couldn't help but scold the Oda family flag first, after all, these civilians are their own people, they were moved away from their hometowns, although they dare not say, but they must be resentful, and now they are about to use this to buy people's hearts, after scolding him, the clan is not enough, and sent his subordinates to send the young man who is suffering from illness to Kyoto Yakuza, and then stop.
