Chapter 36: Selecting the Elite

In the living room of the castle tower of Shimosha Castle, the clan and Shibata Katsuya sit facing each other. Although Shibata Katsuya no longer blames the clan for what happened in the morning, and seeing him come over to admit his mistake as soon as possible, he was somewhat relieved in his heart.

Young people, how can anyone not make mistakes, as long as he knows that his mistakes can be corrected, he will not waste his heart for him. Although Shibata Katsuya thought so in his heart, he still put on a look of the elders who loved to answer.

"Lord Shibata, today's incident is that the clan did not think about it, and did not take into account your feelings, and please punish you." Clan Zong said sincerely. After listening to Sakura's words just now, he has now completely changed his opinion of Shibata Katsuie.

Shibata Katsuya snorted coldly and said, "How dare I punish Takayama-sama, Takayama-sama, aren't you joking." ”

Seeing that sincerity was useless, the clan began to play a scoundrel again, only to hear him say: "Lord Shibata, are you still angry that you don't know what to do, you said that I finally returned to the lord's side, is it easy." Besides, as one of your subordinates, becoming a direct minister of the lord, not only do you not lose face, but you have a bright face, you think carefully about whether what you said below is right. ”

Seeing that Shibata Katsuya had been staring at him, but he didn't speak, the clan said again: "You see that you are now under your command, there are many talents, more in the next one, no less, not less, not more, and after becoming the lord and minister, don't you also have more people to help you every time you hold an assessment meeting." That's a great deal for you. ”

After the clan said this, Shibata Katsuya couldn't hold back any longer, Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed, he really didn't expect that the clan was not only outstanding, but even this eloquence was extremely good, and black could be said to be white.

Shibata Katsuya couldn't listen to it anymore, and said with a smile: "Okay, you're a bastard boy, you get cheap and sell well, and you still talk in one set, okay, don't talk about this, now that you have become a direct minister of the lord again, when do you plan to move out?" ”

The clan didn't speak, it wasn't that he didn't want to leave, but Sakura was about to give birth, how could he go? If you can't stand the bumps in the road, it's going to be a big deal.

After all, Shibata Katsuya was a person who came over, and he understood what the clan was thinking now, so he only heard him say: "It's true that Sakura is your wife, but she is also my daughter, do you think that as a father, you will treat your daughter badly?" ”

"In that case, I'll thank Shibata-sama for that." After saying that, the clan wanted to get up and say goodbye, who knows when Nobunaga will invite him to meet him. So I want to go back and pack up and return to Owari.

But at this time, he remembered an important thing, that is, the problem of the ashigaru under his command, the 10 ashigaru in Dongqi Castle usually let them take care of the home and nursing home, but they are really going to the battlefield, and it is estimated that their performance is not as good as the elite of the Wasuka Party.

Although Yamauchi Kazutoyo was quite strict with their training, those 10 Ashigaru were sheep who had never seen the cruelty of war after all, and no matter how much they trained, it was impossible to train them to become lions. And now they can't create conditions for them to fight a few tailwind battles, so they are still far from the tiger and wolf division in the heart of the clan.

At this time, the clan immediately thought of the ashigaru who were professionally trained by the Wasuka bandits who were holding on to the castle when Sumamata built the castle, these people were so strong without training, and they repelled the enemy's attack again and again, even if they retreated later, but they did not flee directly, even if they were compared with the current flag, it was not much. Thinking of this, the clan opened his mouth and said, "Lord Shibata, there is a small matter below, and I also ask Lord Shibata to help. ”

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"My lord, it's like this, as the lord is about to carry out the Mino Raiders, the flag is limited, so... So I want to pick some of the Bee Suka Party, and I ask for your permission. "Speaking of the most embarrassing, even the clan is a little embarrassed. After all, the Wasuka party is ashigaru, and he has already proven his strength in this battle, and if he were Shibata Katsuie, he would not give up anything to others.

But what I didn't expect happened, I saw Shibata Katsuya say without hesitation: "This is easy to say, but although you have money, don't recruit too much from it, so as not to be jealous of other retainers, if it really comes at that time, it is inconvenient for me to speak for you." ”

"Ah, thank you Shibata-sama for reminding me that I'll recruit 100 ashigaru from this below." The clan bowed deeply, and he began to be a little moved in his heart, and the favors he owed to the Shibata Katsu family were getting more and more. ,

When the clan sect came out of the castle tower, he was full of joy, although he could only choose 100 out of the more than 400 ashigaru, but for a general like him who only had 500 stone zhiyuki, it was already a lot more. Generally, there are so many retainers who know how to act, and it is already good to have 20 flags, even if they only recruit 100 ashigaru, I am afraid that others will be jealous for a long time, it is true to have money, but it can't be too high-profile.

On that day, the clan did not go to gather these ashigaru, whether it was them or the clan itself, they were tired of building the city for a night, and it was better to rest now.

The next day, Wasuka Koroku gathered the Ashigaru who participated in the battle yesterday early in the morning, and except for the wounded, the remaining 390 Ashigaru were all in the open space of the training center, waiting for the clan to be selected.

Among all the people present, almost all of them were willing to become the bannermen of the Gaoshan Clan, after all, they were all bandits in the past, and they couldn't do anything other than killing and robbing, and if they were allowed to farm, they might be able to starve themselves to death.

But with Lord Takayama, it's different, not only do you have 10 yuan to get every year, but if you usually perform well, there are rewards, where to find such a good thing. Therefore, these more than 300 people, when they saw the arrival of the clan, immediately raised their heads with their chests up, for fear that they would not be selected.

The clan came closer, compared to yesterday, these ashigaru people had a new look, they threw away the bamboo spear, and the coarse linen clothes were no longer used as armor, but instead were barrel river buckets, array hats, and spears, all of which were ripped from the dead bodies of the enemy yesterday, and the clan was idle and disgusting, and there was nothing to use for themselves, so they were all rewarded to them.

It's something that these clans don't look down on at all, but in the hands of these ashigaru, they are treated like treasures.

I saw that the armor on their bodies, the black and shiny of the hats being wiped, and the spears in their hands emitted a shining silver light in the sunlight.

After scanning them over, the clan said with a full sense of anger: "I will select 100 banners among you. Speaking of this, the clan sect glanced at them quickly, and then said, "Everyone who is 18-25 years old stands up. ”

Ashigaru, who is in line with the age, stood up quickly with an excited face, and those who were less than or over the age showed unwillingness, and soon nearly half of the people took aside.

Ashigaru who can still stand here at this moment, can survive the hard battle, and is not injured, he is the leader of the Beesuka Party, and then the clan selected the right age among these leaders, and the more than 100 people who stood out are the elite among them.

The clan selected one by one, and after eliminating the thinner and shorter ones, and then looking at the remaining 100 people, all of them are strong, and the average height has reached one meter six, if you train diligently, it will no longer be a dream to become a strong army.

In the training center, the clan sect circled around the hundred-person phalanx a few times, and was quite satisfied, and then saw him come to the front of the phalanx and said: "From today on, you are the banner of my Gaoshan clan, and you are 20 years old!" ”

After listening to the 100 flags, they all gasped, 20 times? This is 20,000 yuan, even if the flag book under the command of the Oda Palace, there is no such high income. They hurriedly knelt on the ground and said excitedly, "Thank you, lord!" ”

"Don't thank me first, from today onwards, you will receive 3 months of rigorous training, if after 3 months, you can't satisfy me, then give me the fuck off, hear clearly?!"

"Yes! subordinates will live up to their lords. ”

The clan nodded with satisfaction, waved his big hand and said, "Okay!" Listen to the order and march to the east! ”
