Chapter 22 Initial Assessment
On the third day after Nobutomo Akiyama left, Katsuyori Takeda held his first castle lord assessment at Takato Castle Castle Tower Ohiroma.
In addition to these civil servants, there are several wealthy family heads under the rule of the Takeda family near Gaoyuan City, and the most famous among these wealthy family heads is the Takeda family's three bullets, and the gun and bullet are Baoke Zhengjun.
Dan is the name of the official, the Takeda family three Danzheng, referring to the three official names of the Takeda family named Dan Zhengzhong, the other two are the escape of the bullet is Takaban Masanobu, and the attack of the bullet is Sanada Yutaka, these two are famous figures in the Takeda family.
Although Hoshina Masatoshi is fifty years old and has gray hair, he is very energetic, Li Xiao remembers that in Nobunaga's ambition, this old man's Ashigaru surname is S-level, and he is a rare and powerful infantry general.
In addition to the local forces of Takato Castle, the Suwa family, which was inherited by Takeda Katsuyori, was originally the head of Suwa Manchu, as well as his two sons, Suwa Yoritada, and Suwa Yoritoyo also came from Suwa Prefecture to participate in the assessment.
Suwa Manlin is about 40 years old, and his two sons, Suwa Yoritada, and Suwa Yoritoyo are also almost 30 years old. If you talk about seniority, Takeda Katsuyori is a lot smaller, if the two sides really climb up the seniority, even Takeda Katsuyori's grandfather has to call Suwa Manchurian uncle uncle.
Fortunately, he didn't care about seniority, but as the head of the Suwa family, Takeda Katsuyori, had the highest authority. Although the power of the Suwa family is not as good as before, but Suwa Manlin and others are not incompetent, this time in the battle of Kawanakajima, carrying the Suwa Damyojin flag, beating the Suwa Taiko drum, risking death to support the Takeda Shinshigeru team, it is the Suwa Manlin and Suwa Yoritada, father and son.
The above-mentioned people are the retainers under Takeda Katsuyori, of course, they are N grades worse than the retainers of big names like Uesugi and Hojo. However, among the castle lords of the Takeda family, except for the retainers directly under Takeda Shingen, and the retainers of Sanada Yutaka, I am afraid that no castle lord can have such a luxurious lineup.
What's more, Takeda Katsuyori also has Kansuke Yamamoto and Li Xiao, two super bulls, one left and one right.
The evaluation meeting was held, and the content of the initial assessment under Li Xiao's eyes should be a formality, isn't everyone familiar with each other, just meet and get to know each other, chat, drink tea, and have a snack together. Anyway, Takeda Katsuyori doesn't have much experience as a castle lord, so he won't take care of things too much.
And Li Xiao will not have the leisure to worry about anything, what he is most worried about at the moment is the decisive battle with Shigang Yiyu in three months, which is a battle related to his surname. Li Xiaozheng was thinking hard about how to improve his martial arts skills in the past three months, so he now looked like he was bored and in a daze, and he was the most idle in the entire evaluation meeting.
However, Kansuke Yamamoto, the first strategist of the Takeda family who came with Li Xiao, is different, as the former military advisor of Takeda Shingen, his identity and status are very different. He undoubtedly occupies the position of a retainer at the head of the pen. The so-called pen is the first place in the retainers' group and has the absolute right to speak.
Yamamoto Kansuke led the process of the meeting, asking in detail about the ishigaka under the jurisdiction of each wealthy clan, the samurai under his subordinates, the maximum mobilization of troops, as well as the storage of food, whether it was difficult to survive the winter, and so on.
In Li Xiao's eyes, Yamamoto Kansuke was like a loyal housekeeper, and after the inquiry, he assigned everyone's tasks, purchasing military rations, buying iron cannons, building city walls, recruiting ronins, cultivating farmland, and training soldiers to arrange them one by one in an orderly manner.
In fact, among the martial artists of the Warring States Period, most of the similar evaluations or important military discussions adopted the collegial system of the family elders, and the final agreed results were then handed over to the daimyo to decide whether to pass or not. Of course, there are also many daimyo who have monopoly power, and their subordinate retainers only need to obey orders, and such daimyos are relatively powerful, such as the demon king of the Oda family and the military gods of the Uesugi family are all such fierce people.
Therefore, what was decided by Yamamoto Kansuke, the chief retainer, Katsuyori could only nod his head in agreement, anyway, he, the new lord of the city, didn't have much experience in dealing with things, so he could only learn slowly.
In the end, Yamamoto Kansuke's eyes were fixed on Li Xiao, who had nothing to do, Li Xiao had already planned, and with a sigh, he said: "Since I am the spear master of Katsuri Childe, I am naturally responsible for the task of teaching Childe Gunner's marksmanship, which is very important, and there must be no negligence." ”
After speaking, Li Xiao gave Takeda Katsuyori a look, and the other party immediately understood. In fact, the two had secretly discussed that when the time came, they could take advantage of the opportunity to learn martial arts or ride a horse to run to the castle town of Takato Castle or go farther afield, but the larger and more prosperous town of Suwa to be chic.
In addition, I have heard that there are many hot spring hot spring hot springs in the mountain field, especially in places where Kai Shinano hot springs are so developed. Therefore, there are often such hot spring bathing places on the roadside, and this kind of hot spring bath is mixed bathing for men and women.
Not only that, but many hot spring baths also provide lodging houses, so overnight activities are also disguised erotic activities. Li Xiao used to download a lot of such anime on his laptop, and the genre was based on the story that had to be told between the male protagonist and the hot spring soup proprietress.
Everyone has a lustful heart, and Takeda Katsuyori and Li Xiao coincide. When Takeda Katsuyori heard Li Xiao say this, he immediately echoed and said, "Yes, Mr. Yamamoto, I feel that I am still very lacking in martial arts, and I need Li Xiao's guidance." ”
Li Xiao heard Takeda Katsuyori say this, and he also had a very serious expression, nodded heavily, and said, "Yes, yes, your martial arts are indeed still lacking." ”
"Nope." Kansuke Yamamoto rejected Li Xiao's request.
Li Xiao almost jumped up when he heard this, Kansuke Yamamoto, you have to give me an explanation, otherwise I will give you an explanation.
"Why?" Li Xiao asked through gritted teeth.
Kansuke Yamamoto said slowly, "That's right, it's almost winter, and we don't have enough manpower. Li Xiaojun, as a retainer who personally instructed the lord, you should bear more responsibility. I'm not against you teaching Katsuyori Kimi's marksmanship, but ......"
"Just what?"
Unexpectedly, Kansuke Yamamoto had a bit of a talent for humor, and despite Li Xiao's angry appearance, he could finish his words so calmly.
"It's just that you have more important things to do at the moment, recently a group of bandits appeared near Gaoyuan City and occupied a small hill, because it is almost winter, I am worried that they will go down the mountain to loot and affect the security of this place, so I hope you will personally go into battle and take down this small hill."
Hmph, it's a trivial matter, Li Xiao said secretly in his heart, aren't they just a few thieves.
So Li Xiao asked, "When are you going?" How many people are given to me, and how many people are on the other side? ”
Yamamoto Kansuke replied with a slight smile: "Of course, the sooner the better, just give you ten elite samurai, the number of the other party is not clear, but it is just a small stone, and there will not be much hindrance." ”
Seeing Kansuke Yamamoto look so indifferent, Li Xiao secretly felt a little uneasy in his heart.
And Li Xiao didn't know, at this moment, Yamamoto Kansuke also said silently in his heart, Li Xiao agreed, let me see your real talents, do you really afford to be so respected by the lord and the two lords?
