Chapter 693: Separation of Peasants and Soldiers (2)

In Ise, a huge open space outside Osaka Castle, nearly 90,000 people are neatly arranged in a huge phalanx, their expressions full of anticipation and fire. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 On the side, there are countless people, and the crowds of people gathered all over the mountains are surrounded by them, and they are cheering for their relatives and friends, exuding great enthusiasm.

At the gate of the castle, Shimazuo and Ii Naotora stood at the front, and behind them stood more than a dozen people such as Honda Tadakatsu, Niko Katsuhisa, Yamanaka Yukimori, and Sakakihara Yasumasa. They looked at the phalanx of nearly 90,000 people in front of them, and their eyes were full of expectation and heat.

"Lady Ii, how many people do you think you can keep this time?" Shima asked with a chuckle.

"Hehe, of course the more the merrier, 20,000? 30,000? I'm looking forward to it~" Naota Ii said with a smile.

Although Oda Nobunaga's decree was to retain one out of ten for reserve military service, strictly speaking, this was only a minimum number. Some of the host countries' economies are not good, so it is natural to implement the policy of keeping one out of ten, but if the economically developed places like Ise, Mino, Owari and Kinai are very developed, wouldn't it be too wasteful?

Especially for a person like Yoshinobu Oda, who is not bad for money, it is impossible to recruit only such a small number of troops. You must know that at this time, the annual income of the Agotic Chamber of Commerce is almost comparable to that of an Owari. So Oda Yoshinobu ordered to leave as many troops as possible.

This is happening in other places at the same time, and the selection criteria may be different, but the entire Oda family is constantly carrying out this initiative.

Sunpu Castle.

"Separation of peasants and soldiers...... Takeda Shingen looked at the information in his hand with a gloomy face, and his mood was self-evident.

"Lord, it's better to take advantage of this time to send troops directly! Otherwise, when the Oda family really completes this so-called separation of peasants and soldiers, it will undoubtedly become more difficult for the Oda family to defeat the other party! Shan County Changjing said loudly.

And his words were also supported by Baba Nobubo and others. As the generals of the Takeda family, how could they not know the difference between standing soldiers and ordinary peasant soldiers? It is no exaggeration to say that 5,000 standing soldiers and brave samurai can completely attack the 20,000 or 30,000 peasant formations head-on.

"My lord! This is not a good time to go to war! Masayuki Muto objected loudly. Then, he didn't pay attention to the angry eyes of Shan County Changjing and others, and stood up and said loudly, "Lord! At this time, the main family, the Uesugi family, and the Mori family were not ready, and the Mori family was still attacking the Otomo family. ”

"And even if the Oda family is separating the peasants and soldiers, they can still pull those reserve soldiers into battle at any time. How much advantage will the family be able to achieve at that time? Instead, it will disrupt the deployment of the entire encirclement network! Masayuki Muto said loudly.

"Is it just waiting? Waiting for the Oda family to grow stronger? "Yama Shan Changjing is obviously very unwilling, once upon a time, the Takeda family was a powerful force that made the whole world fear, and the fiery red and red preparation was synonymous with death. But now? The Oda family has taken the place of the Takeda family, and it is even more powerful. At least, the Takeda family's most powerful period would not have attracted such a huge encirclement network.

"Changjing, don't ......be anxious," Takeda Shingen said slowly, "The Oda family is indeed getting stronger, but there are other forces in the family that do need time to make more preparations. After all, when the war began, it was a decisive battle that could not be lost against the main family, the Oda family, or other forces. ”

Hearing this, Shan Shan Changjing sat down helplessly, Takeda Shingen had already said so, what else could he say?

After the assessment room was quiet again, Takeda Shingen said in a deep voice, "In addition, I decided to study the Oda family and do reserve military service!" ”

Hearing this, there was chaos in the assessment room again, and everyone was talking about it, and after a while, the racecourse Nobubo said with a solemn expression, "My lord, although the economy of this family has improved a lot after taking Suruga, if you want to implement reserve military service, I am afraid it will still be very difficult......

How could the benefits of reserve service not be seen by all? In fact, if conditions permitted, they would prefer to carry out the separation of peasants and soldiers. Unfortunately, in this era, there was only one Oda family, and only the Oda family had so much money for reserve military service and the separation of peasants and soldiers.

In this era, although everyone was developing their territory, the daimyo who had a clear understanding of commerce like Oda Nobunaga could be counted on one hand. Mori Motoharu, Saito Michizo, Imagawa Yoshimoto, Oda Nobuhide, etc., but even they have a superficial understanding of money, and they have not been able to combine money and war so perfectly like Oda Nobunaga.

Now, after the rise of the Oda family, many forces have realized the magic of money, but even if they continue to learn, they are only followers. What's more, not only are they much slower, but they also don't have a high-quality territory like.

Hearing this, Takeda Shingen shook his head, "Even if it's difficult, you have to find a way to get it, otherwise, the gap between the main family and the Oda family will only get bigger and bigger." Takeda Shingen's tone was full of determination, he naturally knew how difficult it was to carry out reserve military service with the strength of the Takeda family, but after the Oda family carried out the separation of peasants and soldiers, the Takeda family could only follow and reform. Otherwise, there would be no need to fight this battle.

Like Takeda Shingen, Uesugi Kenshin immediately prepared to implement a system of reserve military service when he learned of the Oda family's separation of peasants and soldiers. On the Maori family's side, although the system could not be immediately reformed due to the war in Kyushu, the Maori family also began to revise and improve the reserve military service according to their own situation.

"Is this the real purpose of the elder brother?" Oda Yoshinobu thought rather strangely when he heard the news. Neither Takeda nor Uesugi are strong enough to carry out a full reserve service, and if they are forced to do so, not only may they not be able to achieve the results of reserve service, but they are also likely to bring down their own economies.

Of course, with peerless heroes like Takeda Shingen or Uesugi Kenshin, it is naturally impossible to be dragged down by such an incident, and there is no doubt that after the painful period, these forces will only become stronger. But obviously, in their case, it will take at least 3 or 4 years or even longer to get through the labor pains.

Before that, Oda Yoshinobu believes that the Oda family, which has completely completed the military reform, will sweep the world with unstoppable momentum!
