85, down the river
"Lord Zhuxing, Lord Kinoshita, they're all here!" Masakatsu Bee said, pointing to a large wooden raft spread out on the riverbank.
"Uh-huh......!" I replied softly, and the hard work of the past few days has finally not been in vain. The Beesuka Party claims to be in the thousands, but in fact, there are only about 800 young people between their twenties and thirties, and it is indeed not an easy task to harvest materials for the construction of a city in a few days. Although as the official samurai and "event organizers" of the Oda family, we don't have to constantly chop, saw, shave, and plane like ordinary disciples, but in order to boost morale, we have to do something, and even these "superficial articles" are enough for me, a person who usually pays great attention to the way of health preservation! On the other hand, Kinoshita Toyoshiro is much better than me, it seems that his career as a farmer since he was a child has really trained people, and he has been a spear for five years!
"Are you all ready?" Despite being involved in the whole process, Kinoshita Tojiro still asked uneasily.
"Here are 200 rafts...... "Maeno Nagayasu explained in detail." Each one is made of 30 whole materials divided into two layers, which means that there are a total of 6,000 pieces, and the exterior wall of the building is rich! As he spoke, he pointed to the woods in the distance and a group of people who were still busy and said, "Over there are some materials for internal construction!" Because it requires fine processing, it has not yet been completed. β
"How much time will it take?" Kinoshita Toyoshiro asked anxiously.
"At least a day and a half!" Masakatsu Wasuka answered. "Because the work there requires a little bit of craftsmanship, and there are too many people to help!"
"That ......"
"That's it!" I interrupted the words below "Monkey". "As long as we have a complete and solid outer wall, we will be able to repel the attack of the Saito army and hold the sumamata!" I crouched down and patted my hand on a wooden raft. The log with a diameter of one foot and two inches is two feet and five feet long, both ends have been sharpened by sharp axes, and the foundation is eight feet and one foot seven on the ground, which is absolutely sturdy and durable! "Do you have enough shovels and ropes to build the city?"
"Don't worry!" Wasuka Masakatsu said confidently: "I was ready a few days ago, and I have sent someone to send it to Sumamata quietly!" As soon as we arrive, we can start work immediately! β
"That shouldn't be a problem!" I said with satisfaction. "Please work harder and work harder for those who know how to carpenter! Others have a day off tomorrow to recuperate. We'll set off tomorrow night and head straight down the river to Sumamata! Please remember that we must build Sumata Castle overnight! β
"Yes!!" The voice of the reply was very imposing.
"Do you have any concerns?" After everyone left, I saw that the "monkey" still looked like he was not giving up.
"I don't know!" He shook his head and said. "It stands to reason that we've thought it through, but I still feel uneasy! You said...... There won't be any surprises! β
"I don't know!" I answered him dryly.
"Don't know? How can you not know!! He jumped to his feet. I...... I'm counting on you! β
"Calm down! Calm down! "I'm trying my best to appease him, it seems that the so-called three invitations to Takenaka's half-guard are also annoying to him!" The so-called accident is something that is unexpected, how can I know that it has not happened yet? As you said yourself, our plan is quite thorough! We have done everything we can do, and the rest can only be seen and dismantled! At present, all we can do is to nourish our spirits and wait for tomorrow's 'excitement'. I'll also tell you, a pitched battle is inevitable sooner or later! β
"Yes...... You're talking about ......," Kinoshita Toyoshiro said in a slurch.
Seeing that he was basically quiet, I continued: "Don't you want to get ahead all day long? If you become the general of the army and you panic, what will happen to your subordinates? Why don't they all surrender? "It took me a long time to persuade him to leave.
As I walked back, I pondered, "This is the heroes of ancient times?" It's naΓ―ve! In all fairness, he is still good, at least the enthusiasm is higher and more frustrated, it is not that there is no education of leaders in ancient times, but it is impossible for him to get in touch with it, he can only rely on his own exploration! And then again, this kind of education in ancient times was not very successful, too mysterious! Too abstract! Too...... It's hard to understand serious learning, let alone self-study! To be honest, I don't really like management or anything like that, but a couple of Carnegie books are enough for this day and age. At least I knew that at this time I would rather be beaten to death than scared to death! It's a bit like swimming, swimming in the rivers and seas can come out of the 'white stripes in the waves', but you can't come out of the Olympic champion! If you are in the same era, in terms of personal quality alone, Chairman Mao can't look down on the political and military capabilities of Oda Nobunaga and Mao Liyuan in terms of these materials! My child ...... in the future Never mind! That's too far away! Let's save some energy for tomorrow! β

"The lord is all right!" Shimakatsu called me softly outside the door.
"Hmm!" I answered and followed him to the river. In the hazy moonlight, more than 800 people stood quietly on the riverbank. The rafts had been lowered to water and were tied with only a rope. "How's it going?" I'd like to make one final confirmation.
"All the timber for the wall has gone into the water...... said Wasuka Masakatsu, pointing to the water. The rest is finished, but the rafts are not yet ready! I want to leave 100 people behind and arrive in Minamata early tomorrow morning at the latest! β
"Yes! Then let's go! Three to four people on a raft will set up boats to match each other. Katsutake, Kanosuke, and Mr. Maeno are the first one; His Royal Highness Xiaoliu, me and Qingci are ...... Well? Where is Keiji Maeda? "I suddenly found out that Keiji Maeda wasn't in the crowd." Didn't you say you're all set?! Where's Keiji Maeda?! I shouted at Shima Katsumo.
Maeda ...... Maeda-senpai ......" said Shimakatsu at a loss.
"Keiji-senpai drank a little too much!" Ke'er hid to the side and arrived.
"This bastard !!" I just felt like a nameless fire was rushing to the top beam. "Give him to me ......"
"Lord Stars!" At this time, Wasuka Masakatsu said in a timely manner: "The big thing can't be delayed, let's go quickly!" Anyway, someone has to take care of the rafts in the middle of the night, so let's talk about it later? β
"Alright! That's all there is to it. After thinking about it for a while, I accepted his kindness. In fact, I also understand that I can't hate what to do with Maeda Keiji, so let's borrow the slope to get off the donkey! "Get out!" I sat on the raft and gestured to the front.
Untying the ropes, we headed west along the Kiso River. To be honest, my heart is not very good (I was kicked by a horse and smashed with gold by Nobunaga once), and I am really not suitable for a thrilling game like Rapids. After an hour of heart-pounding, we finally saw the intersection of the Nagara River and the Kiso River in the distance.
