In 1564, the new year, it was another grand banquet, and the protagonist of this banquet was naturally Oda Yoshinobu, who had always pacified Mikawa with his own strength. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info, I have to say that Matsudaira Ieyasu is a good kid, he gave all the credit to Oda Yoshinobu, and he and the samurai of the Matsudaira family became cheerleaders waving the flag behind Oda Yoshinobu.

Well, whether this is true or not, at the very least, Oda Yoshinobu's prestige in the Oda family has once again reached a new level. If in the past, Shibata Katsuya could still struggle for a while in the position of the number one samurai of the Oda family with his old qualifications, then now, Oda Yoshinobu has replaced him without suspense and became the first samurai of the Oda family.

However, in this regard, instead of being jealous, the two elders Shibata Katsuya and Lin Xiuzhen spoke to Oda Nobunaga, hoping that Oda Yoshinobu could become the head of the family. In their words, Oda Yoshinobu is now unsealable, and it is better to give him the name of the first retainer as a reward.

In this regard, Oda Nobunaga directly refused, and asked Lin Xiuzhen to be his pen with peace of mind. "Humph! Nothing to seal? I didn't say anything about that bastard who made so much money in Sanhe, what reward did he dare to ask for?! Oda Nobunaga thought coldly in his heart.

But obviously, this kind of thing can't be said, otherwise if everyone learns from Oda Yoshinobu, it will be a mess. It has to be said here too. Oda Nobunaga is too spoiled by Oda Yoshinobu, so why is the monarch so tolerant or even indulgent to his retainers? It's just that whether it's Oda Nobunaga or Oda Yoshinobu, they never feel very strange about the relationship between the two sides, maybe this is not a brother is better than a brother's love of a monarch and a minister, right?

On January 10, after a few days off after the New Year's had passed, Oda Yoshinobu gathered all his retainers for the first time of the new year.

In that ancient no castle, Oda Yoshinobu sat on the top, looking around at the retainers below, "Unknowingly, my retainers' group has such a scale......" Oda Yoshinobu sighed with some excitement.

Li Huamei, Da Zhu He, Jing Yi Naohu, the three Ji samurai women are not allowed to shave their eyebrows, whether it is martial arts, military studies or internal affairs, they do not belong to male samurai.

Keiji Maeda, Yukihisa Shiraki, Shimazo Kon, Honda Tadakatsu, Sakakihara Yasumasa, Hidemoto Ueizumi, Marume Nagae, and Fernand, all of them were outstanding samurai, especially Maeda Keiji, Shiraki Yukihisa, Shimazo Kon, and Fernando, who already had a record of fighting independently in the army.

"However, among these people, I'm afraid only Fernand's brain is better......" Oda Yoshinobu thought helplessly, he suddenly felt that he seemed to be too little in terms of Wenchen, only ......

Oda Yoshinobu glanced at Ina Tadaji, who was sitting silently at the back, and sighed in his heart, "Alas, the real Wenchen is only such a 14-year-old ghost......" However, as long as I thought that this kid would be close to full marks in the future, my mood suddenly improved a lot.

However, what Oda Yoshinobu cares about the most now is Lilu, Chiyonu Mochizuki and Kato Duanzo. One is his god of wealth, and the other two are the future ninja leaders.

Thinking of the pomp and circumstance that might arise in the future, Oda Yoshinobu couldn't help but laugh strangely, which made the retainers below who had been waiting for Oda Yoshinobu to speak speechless speech. But they didn't know what Oda Yoshinobu was thinking, so they could only continue to sit there silently.

I don't know how long it took for Oda Yoshinobu to wake up with YY, and then he saw everyone's idiot-like eyes.

"Ahem!" Oda Yoshinobu coughed twice to resolve his embarrassment, and then said loudly, "From today onwards, the armament situation of Nakono Castle will be reformed!" ”

In a word, Keiji Maeda and others were excited. Hawkers, in fact, Oda Yoshinobu had vaguely discussed this matter with them before, but the money eaten by the Grim Reaper was too much. It's hard to shrink it, and Lilu needs a lot of money. Coupled with the fact that Oda Yoshinobu himself has always spent money lavishly, this matter has been stranded after two sentences. Now, Oda Yoshinobu has become one of the richest families in Owari during his trip to Mikawa, so when will it be if he doesn't hurry up with reforms?

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Oda Yoshinobu said directly, "Huamei, come on." ”

"Yes!" Li Huamei responded. Seeing this, everyone looked sideways, after all, speaking on behalf of the lord at such a time, they basically belonged to the old master of the pen family. Obviously, this time Oda Yoshinobu intends to make Li Huamei the head of the pen among his retainers. However, in this regard, everyone was only curious for a while and acquiesced, after all, the relationship between Li Huamei and Oda Yoshinobu was over there, even if it was not a pen, what she said still had a lot of influence.

"From today onwards, the Grim Reaper will be divided into banners, and the number will still be set at 100 people. At the same time, they began to purchase equipment such as spears, bows and arrows, iron cannons, swords, and armor. ”

Well, for the first point, everyone naturally has no opinion, after all, the system of the Death God Cult has lasted for a very long time, and the treatment has always been very high, not to mention that every Death God has been sent by Oda Yoshinobu to carry out a very powerful brainwashing education. So whether it's a flag book or not, no one cares at all.

"This ...... Wouldn't it be too wasteful if every ashigaru's equipment was provided by the family? Shima asked with some hesitation. In this era, there was only one difference between a peasant and an ashigaru, and that was that the former held a hoe and the latter held a spear. And these weapons, in fact, are also prepared by the peasants themselves, and the lords will not participate in them. The only thing issued by the lord is the family's family crest flag.

However, since it was prepared by itself, it was obviously impossible to be so neat, so every time I led the active troops, it was basically a simple stroke, and those with bows and arrows went to the archery team, those with spears went to the spear team, and the other eighteen weapons formed a team. And armor, not everyone can have it.

"I've been discussing this with my lord for a long time, and it's true that as Shimasama said, it would be too wasteful if every Ashigaru was equipped with equipment, but what if Ashigaru himself didn't have equipment? And the quality of Ashigaru itself is stronger than that of ordinary Ashigaru? Li Huamei asked softly.

"Separation of peasants and soldiers?" When Dao Zuo heard Li Huamei's words, he instantly thought of this term. Speaking of which, this term is a decree that Oda Yoshinobu wanted to enact when he first entered Nakono Castle a long time ago, but unfortunately it was not done because everyone opposed it.

"No, the separation of peasants and soldiers cannot be carried out on the conditions of our own family, let alone us." Oda Yoshinobu shook his head and said. "However, although the separation of peasants and soldiers cannot be enforced, I am ready to carry out the sword hunting order and reserve military service order in the territory!"

"Reserve military service?" Everyone muttered to themselves, they also remembered the sword hunting order, after all, when Oda Yoshinobu thought of such a bad idea as the separation of peasants and soldiers, the sword hunting order also came out. But reserve military service...... Well, listening to the name seems to be something about the same as standing soldiers, but ......

Seeing everyone's puzzled eyes, Oda Yoshinobu looked at everyone quite proudly and smiled, "Yes, it's a reserve military service, you can treat him as a standing soldier who doesn't need to be given a ......."

Well, in fact, this so-called reserve military service has actually appeared in history. After Toyotomi Hideyoshi announced the implementation of the decree on the separation of peasants and soldiers, many daimyo and lords simply could not afford to raise so many troops. In addition, those who had made many feats with their lords or daimyo as peasant soldiers did not want to farm every day, so these daimyo came up with a way to reserve soldiers. They were given the title of samurai, but in fact they were still farming in the countryside.

And Oda Yoshinobu's so-called reserve military service is the product of combining this with those military training and other things that I saw in later generations. Whether it is good or not, he himself does not know, but in his opinion, it is better than those peasant soldiers.

"The so-called reserve military service means that all peasants over the age of 16 and under the age of 25 in the general's territory are registered, and we regularly train them in military affairs. Once the war starts, they must join our side unconditionally! Yoshinobu Oda smiled.

"This ......" Hearing this, Dao Zuojin and the others blinked, opened their mouths, and couldn't say a word for half a sound. Because how to say it, they are too familiar with this kind of routine, because most of the samurai came over like this, usually working at home and farming, practicing martial arts in their free time, and going to war when they went to war.

The problem is that samurai have nothing to do in this way, after all, they can get a lot of things out of war. But the peasants are different, what do they get except money and food?

Thinking of this, they suddenly thought of the sentence mentioned by Oda Yoshinobu just now, "There is no need to give the standing army of Yuroku. ”

"Could it be ......" Shima Sakin and the others looked at Oda Yoshinobu with wide eyes and a look of disbelief.

"Yes, these people, I will give them the status of a low-level samurai! If they have made enough meritorious deeds, they can be promoted to the rank of true samurai according to their own wishes or exchanged for corresponding rewards......" Oda Yoshinobu said with a chuckle.

This matter had been discussed for a long time with Li Huamei and other women and Oda Nobunaga, and finally got their affirmation. Of course, Oda Nobunaga is too involved in this matter, so he can only let Oda Yoshinobu implement it first, and then slowly promote it if the effect is good. This is also the biggest helplessness of the Warring States Daimyo, they do not have absolute centralization and oneness, and many things depend on the faces of the retainers.

Perhaps nowadays, only Oda Yoshinobu can do this, after all, among Oda Yoshinobu's retainers, none of them have their own territory, and all of them are the lords of the Dry Domain. Oda Nobunaga didn't know how many times he had said this, but he was dismissed by Oda Yoshinobu with the idea that a samurai should do what a samurai should do.

Therefore, after hearing Oda Yoshinobu's words, everyone deliberated for a while, but in the end no one objected. However, Shima Zuojin still raised his own question, "My lord, if you carry out reserve military service, then when to train, how to reward and punish, if the other party does not want to become a reserve military service, and other issues, you must carefully consider them, otherwise, it will easily cause public anger." ”

"Of course, I think so, in the future, in my territory, there are only three ways for civilians to become samurai, one is to do business, and exchange money for samurai status. One is to practice martial arts, and after gaining the approval of Lord Shangquan, he joins the Death Gods. The last one is reserve military service, and no one is allowed to become a samurai except for these three! Oda Yoshinobu said in a deep voice.

He believed that being a samurai was the best allure in this era, and that anyone wouldn't want to be a samurai? Yes! Monks, ministers, and those who concentrate on things like art, no one can resist the temptation to become a samurai, not even a wealthy merchant.

Because in this era, the samurai was a profession that was only below the ministers and monks, and at the same time ranked first in terms of actual dominance.

"In addition to being a samurai, we will give a small amount of money or food as a reward when we become a reserve soldier, and we will also receive a small amount of money or food for each subsequent training...... "Oda Yoshinobu constantly explains.

"As for the punishment...... If you join the reserve military service but do not participate in the war during the war, you will be deprived of their land and money, and they will be driven out of Owari! Oda Yoshinobu said sharply.

"This ...... Lord, wouldn't it be too harsh? Fernand on the side asked in a low voice.

"Lord Fernand, the lord has already said that as long as they become reserve soldiers, then it means that they are already the low-ranking samurai of their own family. As a samurai, he refused to participate in the battle, this punishment is already very light......" Li Huamei on the side said with a chuckle.

Hearing this, everyone no longer had doubts and agreed to Oda Yoshinobu's decree.

"Well, in that case, you will be in charge of the notice of sword hunting and reserve military service, right?" Oda Yoshinobu looked at Ina Tadaji and said.

Hearing this, Ina Tadaji couldn't help but be stunned, to be honest, he participated in the evaluation this time only because of Oda Yoshinobu's request, and he didn't think that this kind of thing would have anything to do with himself, a little ghost who had just joined. So after hearing Oda Yoshinobu's words, Ina Tadaji was stunned for a moment and then hurriedly said excitedly, "Please rest assured, my subordinates will do a good job in this matter!" ”

"Well, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask Hua Mei and Fernande." Oda Yoshinobu said with a smile, for Ina Tadaji, he very much hopes that this kid can grow up quickly, who let the retainer who is really engaged in internal affairs be such a retainer?

After speaking, Oda Yoshinobu suddenly remembered another thing, "Zuo Jin, when the time comes, I will leave the training to you in charge, remember to educate them politically~"

Hawkers,Political education,It's the brainwashing education that the Grim Reapers' have been receiving.,Obviously,Oda Yoshinobu doesn't want to engage in a reserve military service.,That group of soldiers doesn't know what allegiance is.。 (To be continued.) )
