Chapter Thirty-Eight: The First Battle
Two weeks passed quickly. In the past two weeks, Wang Tianxie and Nobuko have been very busy, sleeping in the military camp outside Cheongju City almost every day.
This is the first time that the two of them have led troops out of battle, although they are only playing for the old man Masahide in the tie, but the two are still very excited.
For Nobuko, a thirteen-year-old violent and mature Lori who has already held a Chengren ceremony, there is no timidity at all when she goes to the battlefield for the first time to fight with others, but she is very excited. After all, she has been trained by the highest military merit of the martial arts family since she was a child, and she is no stranger to the military formation.
In comparison, Wang Tianxie was a little overwhelmed. You know, although it is said that after so many years of training and having the inheritance of Jinjiuro, his personal force value and strategy and wisdom have a certain value, but he is much worse than Nobuko, a violent mature Lori, in terms of military strategy and strategy.
He has always grown up in a business environment, and it has only been more than two or three years since he came to the Oda family. Fortunately, he has an incomparable plug-in, that is, he has the help of the six princesses of the Oni Clan who have transformed into the form of Magatama on his chest, and the help of Saihime, who has a heart with them.
Although the five princesses Caihime, Diehime, Liji, Zihime, and Ayahime can't help much on the battlefield, the eldest princess-Ying, who is good at military strategy and the overall situation of the battlefield, and the second princess-Cui, who can be called the think tank of the Heavenly Ghost Clan, have brought great help to Wang Tianxie.
As early as the afternoon of the day when the mobilization order was issued, Wang Tianxie urged Nobuko to go to the military camp together to gather the two of them, a total of 1,200 ashigaru. This is followed by a series of things like training, training, training, and so on.
The two of them did not hide the training of the ashigaru under their hands, and the old man Hirate Masahide, who was a teacher of Nobuko. Even at the suggestion of Wang Tianxie, he solemnly invited this kind old man to visit together, of course, under the pretext of asking him for guidance. You must know that although the old man Cheng Masahide is the first minister under Oda Nobuhide of the "Tiger of Owari", his command ability and military strategy are still very insightful, otherwise he would not have been arranged by Oda Nobuhide as Nobuko's chief teacher.
In the afternoon of the same day, the old man Hirate Masahide kept repeating a sentence in his mouth: "Oh, today is an eye-opener!" ”
In the next two weeks, a total of 3,000 ashigaru were handed over to Wang Tianxian and Nobuko. Everyone is not mistaken, 3,000, and the extra 1,800 belong directly to the old man of Hisho Masahide. The old man's heart for Wang Tianxie can be said to be very relieved, but it is also full of contradictions.
In this old man's heart, it is his greatest wish that the Oda family can become stronger and stronger. And Wang Tianxie, the righteous son of the head of the family, is obviously able to live up to the expectations in his heart. However, looking at his precious apprentice, Nobuko, who he treats as his own son, makes him feel very entangled.
Before the accident of falling off the horse, Xinzi was very satisfied with him in all aspects, but since the accident, the old man has not helped his baby apprentice wipe his butt and say good things, in his eyes, Xinzi, the baby apprentice, will always be the obedient and diligent good boy, everything is the fault of the accident of the falling horse.
In fact, the old man completely misunderstood his apprentice. Most of the items in this special training were proposed by Nobuko, and then modified by Yingji and Tsuihime. However, no one knows that all the training plans are proposed and implemented by Wang Tianxie on the surface.
As early as the first in-depth conversation that the two jokingly called the "fishing agreement", the two had already agreed. Wang Tianxie vigorously showed his talents in front of others, attracting everyone's attention and strengthening his control over the army; And Nobuko pretended to be crazy and stupid, constantly making a fortune behind his back, and at the same time co-opting other children of the same age or generation and secretly cultivating his own private soldiers.
The result was perfect, not only did the retainers who originally regarded Xinzi as a thorn in their side relax their vigilance and shifted all their attention and targets to Wang Tianxie, but also under everyone's noses, the two of them formed a private army that is still expanding at a very slow pace, and the number of soldiers has now reached nearly 1,400 people!
This army, which is completely composed of a large group of orphans, is secretly stored in Wang Tianxi's "Owari Province Orphan Shelter", and because of this, this army is nicknamed the "Owari Country Orphan Army" by Wang Tianxie and Nobuko!
Thanks to the king's heavenly evil, there are almost no homeless orphans in the entire Cheongju Castle and even in the entire Owari country. These children, who were originally lonely and helpless, are now able to eat and clothe themselves in the "Owari Province Orphan Shelter", which can be regarded as an unintentional good thing. Of course, the number of these orphans is so large, and the amount of money and food needed is naturally very high, but fortunately, there is an endless stream of gold and silver transported from the country of Sanhe and Yuanjiang by "Qingyaju", and there will not be any shortage for the time being.
This is also an achievement that makes all the superiors, sectarians, family elders, and important ministers in the entire Owari Kingdom sneer, after all, Wang Tianxie has only served for a year, and he has only relied on his own business to feed a group of orphans! It's just that Wang Tianxie's two words made everyone send out "Oh! So that's it! Admiration.
"I took them in, and I didn't raise them for nothing, and of course their living expenses depended on themselves, didn't you see that there were already a few cloth farms, fish markets, and meat markets in the castle town? These orphans are going to hunt and do work. This is what Wang Tianxie said in the face of all the questions of the elders and important ministers.
Therefore, these orphans need to work as hard as other normal people every day. The girls helped the maids of the family to make some female red such as sewing clothes and sold them in the cloth village in the castle town; The boys fished in the nearby rivers or hunted in the mountains, and sold their prey and catches, either directly or in the sun, at the fish and meat markets in the castle towns.
Of course,These fish market seats、Meat market seats、Cloth village are all secretly controlled by Liji using the body of the little Lori in the bamboo.,In this regard,Little Lori can be said to raise her hands and feet to agree together.,Even in Magatama excited.,Even if Liji is talking about business.,Little Lori will also be talking about her future self.。 In a sentence from little Lori: Well, my body is always mine!
As for Oda Nobuhide, he is very supportive of Wang Tianxie's approach. This Owari big cat thinks like this in his heart: In this era of war, of course, you have to rely on your own hands to survive and reflect your own value. Those who have no use value, it is better to go to the battlefield to be cannon fodder, at least you continue to live is worthless, but your death is worthwhile.
It's just that except for the people in the same circle as Wang Tianxie and Xinzi, what no one knows is that this group of orphans is working during the day, and all kinds of military training and various different skills are still secretly carried out in batches, and they will not be left behind at all. Moreover, there is another advantage after the number of people increases, today it is your turn to go to class at night, no problem, I will help you cover during the day, so that you can have a good rest, there are more people, no one can see it, right?
--I-I-Kneel-Ask-Push-Recommend-of-Divider-Divider-Divider-Line--
It is a very strange place, and the court of this book has divided the entire palace into sixty-eight large territories, which are called countries. The feudal lords with the most power in the country were made the lords, and the rest became the so-called "daimyos" as long as their strength exceeded 50,000 koku.
We also mentioned the soldier system before, thanks to this soldier system that seems to be very brainless in the eyes of Wang Tian, who was a man in two lifetimes, and in the era of the troubled times of the Warring States, the strength of these daimyo is getting bigger and bigger, and they naturally support the army to stand on their own, and even commit crimes. The lord of Inabayama Castle in Mino Province, Saito Yamajo Castle, is one of them, and the white wolf with empty gloves is the watchman. I have soldiers, I have wealth, I have a huge number of subordinate retainers, and I still think that your emperor is the supreme leader, am I dumbfounded? It's already very good to still call you Your Highness!
At the beginning of September 1547, after two weeks of general mobilization for war, the military camp outside Cheongju City had successfully completed all the preparations and ushered in the day of departure, and the target was Ghana City, the southernmost part of the Mino Kingdom.
Here we have to say a little about geography. The border between Mino Province and Owari Province is bordered by a river called the Kiso River, south of which is Owari Province and north of Mino Province. Garner Castle was the first castle to advance northwest from Kiyoshu Castle after the Kiso River, and it was also the first gate of Saito Michizo to defend against Owari Province.
Although Ghana Castle is a flat castle, it is a castle designed to defend against the attacks of Owari Province, so the structure inside is very complicated. The architectural style is not like other Heijo castles that are used for residential pleasure, but more like an observation tower, which can be used for defense in battle!
From the outside, it has 5 floors, but in fact there are 6 floors inside, and there is a well used to defend the castle underground, and there are stone throwers and gun holes inside, and the top floor is a watchtower. Most of the walls of the castle are military fortresses with huge black panels, which are very strong enough to withstand the destruction of large weapons of war, without losing the sense of grandeur and solemnity.
And at this moment, this city is finally about to test the value of its existence. Because of this, Oda Nobuhide, the "Tiger of Owari", came to the outskirts of the castle with 10,000 troops from his family and 8,000 soldiers from each affiliated family who came to support him.
