Chapter 430: Lord of the Two Countries
Being suddenly turned on the battlefield by friendly forces is very demoralizing.
"Damn it!" In the ambush team, several men dressed as samurai were surprised to see that the hard-hired Yakata people turned against each other. But something even more surprising soon followed.
"Han Cang Zongdi, that guy surrendered? Well, let's not go to war with them. "The rest of the mountain people and the leaders of the mountain and the mountain lord don't know why the always brave and scheming Han Cang Zongdi turned against each other. But out of awe of this guy and the purpose of preserving his strength, he resolutely abandoned his original employer and quickly withdrew from the battlefield.
As a result, with the withdrawal of these several mountain people, who occupied the largest part of the ambush team, and the mountain ambush. A strange scene appeared on the entire battlefield.
The ambush force, which originally had a slight advantage in numbers, was suddenly divided into three parts. More than 100 of them continued to fight against the Luo family's combat troops of more than 200 people, and another hundred people suddenly joined the Luo family's camp and turned against each other to kill the ambush troops who were fighting. What was even more depressing was that the remaining 200 or so ambush troops actually withdrew from the battlefield and watched the battle directly near the battlefield. All of a sudden, he went from a combatant to an audience.
This sudden change also surprised Zhengliang, he didn't expect that Han Cangzongdi's defection would trigger such a chain reaction. Immediately, Ha Lu Ha Da smiled, and then he had the opportunity to let some of the cloaks who had been guarding him also join the battle.
After getting the addition of the new force, the army of the Luo family was even more morale-like, coupled with the role of the Sancai Array. Immediately, the ambush troops on the opposite side who were still resisting continued to suffer casualties.
The Luo family's three-talent array. It was transformed by Zhengliang from the small three-talented array invented later in the Ming Dynasty. The original small three-talented formation. "The wolf mills in the center, a long spear on the left and right, a short pawn and a card on the left and right of the spear, and a flat line", this is the formation adopted on the narrow road. One head, two wings and one tail formation, the participating troops are divided into four parts, the former is the head, is the main soldier. the main offensive forces; The two flanks are surprise troops, protecting the flank and rear direction of the head, attacking the enemy's flank at the right time, and the tail is the response force (equivalent to the reserve), ready to reinforce in any direction.
Wolf milling is a kind of spear made of bamboo, more than five meters long, and it is also very simple to make, cutting the local bamboo directly from the roots, keeping the dense branches at the top of the bamboo, and installing the spearhead at the top. It is formed into a formation and used to restrain and restrain troops with knives as their main weapon.
Of course. It is impossible for the Luo family's team to directly use bamboo wolf milling, but the Luo family's three guns are five meters long, which is about the same length as wolf milling. Masato also had some sun-dried bamboo branches tied to the heads of the three guns. So it's almost the unique wolf milling of the Luo family.
In combat, these spears focus on the enemy's head. You have to know that in the Warring States Period, only some people had the opportunity to wear metal helmets, and many ordinary soldiers went directly to the battlefield without wearing anything. In the face of the Roche version of "wolf milling", it seems a little taboo. I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, I will be swept into the eyes by the branches on the spear.
In addition, the Luo family's three-talent array is in a group of three, and the two adjacent three-talent formations will support each other, which is especially suitable for fighting in a narrow area. The combat effectiveness in single combat should not be underestimated.
Under the attack of such a camp, the ambush side from the Otomo family was quickly defeated. With the help of Han Cangzongdi, these local fish who escaped the net of the wealthy clan did not run away in the end, and they all became the ghosts of the Luo family.
After the battle, the army of the Luo family, which had been fighting for half a day, gradually returned to Masahiro's main position. In this battle, none of the Roche were killed, and only dozens of people were wounded to varying degrees. The soldiers handed over the heads they had cut in battle, and the Provisional Army paid for them in a special register of military merit.
After the war, the daimyo usually held a ceremony for the first review. If there are soldiers who have captured a large number of heads, or killed the famous samurai of the other side, the daimyo himself will summon them personally. When the daimyo saw the head, they would praise the person and give him gold on the spot according to the value of the head.
Although Zhengliang is not a person who belongs to this world in essence, the so-called following the local customs, of course, will not fail to do such things to increase morale. Therefore, Masayo, like other daimyos, will also praise meritorious people. As for the rewards, they will be issued after the fact. After all, it's impossible to go to the battlefield with a lot of coins all the time. Moreover, the Roche family generally used grain instead of money as a reward. Grain is more popular than money.
After the first grade, a celebration ceremony is held. After a series of subsequent celebration ceremonies, Zhengliang expressed his gratitude to the soldiers who worked hard, and finally announced in public that the Luo family had finally won the battle. This is a way to increase the morale of the army as well as the centripetal force.
Countless soldiers in the audience raised the tips of their guns or swords in their hands and cheered in unison.
"The Luo family will win!"
"Oh!"
"The Luo family is mighty!"
"Oh!"
After all the rituals were completed, Luo Shifan began to clean up the battlefield, pick up the remaining equipment, and bury the corpses. After returning home, the Logistics Department of the Military Cabinet will issue rewards according to individual military merits, and Zhengliang will also issue certificates of security and gratitude to some people who have performed well.
An anza is a territorial guarantee issued by a daimyo to a retainer. It contains the names of the retainers, the height of the stone in the territory, and the location of the territory. This is also the way in which the Sengoku daimyo have always ruled the region. In addition to the Ann Seal Certificate, the Daimyo Grant Territory will also issue a Wai Hang Certificate. The difference is that the Wanxing form is generally used to reward military achievements, and the direct territory is given to the general, and the security form is only used to ensure the existing territory.
In the case of ensuring that the "Roche Law" is not conflicted, Masato will also try to deal with it in accordance with these customs of the Warring States. Therefore, after the war, there are usually a large number of such security certificates and Wanxing certificates that need to be issued by Zhengliang.
Due to the attack on the way, at the suggestion of his retainers, Masarashi gave up his plan to inspect the newly discovered silver mine in Chikugo and immediately decided to return to Hizen. Before the full implementation of the Luo family law in the new war base area of Chikugo, there will still be many local wealthy families like today in the wilderness of Chikugo, and there are indeed many dangers of continuing to stay in the Chikugo wilderness.
Zhengliang is now the head of a country, and he is no longer the governor of the small wealthy family who had to take the lead in everything at the beginning, so he must consider the feelings of all the retainers. After all, the fate of the retainer family is directly related to the governor.
Leaving to return to Hizen, Masara accepted Han Cang Sodri as the head of the Luo family's ashikau, and arranged him to report on the first standing ashigaru team that executed the species and commanded him. After being fully trained and tested of loyalty, he will be further promoted and appointed.
Before going to report to the First Standing Ashigaru Brigade, Han Cang Zongdi first had to bring his subordinates and a few Masayo factions to assist him in the cloak people, and all the large and small mountain people and mountain bushes and other forces in the future surrendered one by one.
Subsequently, these surrendered forces will be the same as Han Cang Zongdi's subordinates, and they will first concentrate on a period of boot camp training, and eliminate those who are not suitable for being soldiers into ordinary lords, and when these people are further familiar with the laws of the Luo family, these people will be scattered and assigned to various teams. The addition of these people just solved the problem of soldiers in Luo's next expansion plan.
As for the Higo Pass Ninja who finally chose to surrender under the persuasion of Han Cang Zongdi, they were also killed by Fei Duan, Ahri and others in this battle, which can be regarded as revenge for the death of two black eagles at their hands. What's more, there are no eternal enemies at all in the Warring States, only eternal interests.
These Higo Sekipo ninjas currently do not have a fixed owner, and almost whoever can afford to pay for it will do things for whomever they want. So, after agreeing with them about cooperation, Masa-liang let them go. As for the matter of completely annexing them into the Black Eagle Ninja of the Luo family, it had to be handled by Kato Duanzo, who was in Higo.
After arranging everything, on the 8th day of March in the 12th year of Tenmon (1543), Masarashi returned to Hizen Village Castle with a large army. On that day, Masahiro summoned the retainers in the vicinity to conduct an assessment.
Participating in the evaluation this time were Togo Heiji, the governor of the Cabinet of the Interior and the general of the center, Liu Raku, the director in charge of education and agriculture, the civil law minister Aoyama Nobumoto, the civil minister Nabeshima Kiyobo, the agricultural minister Oda Masamitsu, the family military advisor Kakuma Ishimune, the military head Fu Luo Masamune, the military cabinet logistics director and the central general Onishi Kuniji, the territory physician Akimine Hidemasa, the commander of the Black Eagle Ninja Army, Kosuke, the monomi head Kizo Shitadada, and the public secretary Tanagi Kiyomasa, Nabeshima Naoshige, and Honda Masanobu the small surname who temporarily returned from the Ouchi family.
At this time, the potential of the Luo family has expanded to the front of the fertilizer, the front of the building, the construction of the post, and the after. The details are:
Hizen. It fully occupies the eight counties of Hizen, Jizuki, Adoptive, Sanne, Kanzaki, Saka, Ojo, Matsuura, and Kiteshima; Part of it occupies the two counties of Fujizu and Biki, and competes with the Omura family and the Saigo family there. Only the Arima family occupies Gaolai County and has not yet been touched.
Chikuzen. It occupies half of the land of Eto-gun. Confronted the Harada family, the traditional overlord there.
Chikugo. It fully occupies the five counties of Mizuma, Kamizuma, Shimozuma, Sanmon, and Sanike; Part of it occupies the two counties of Yamamoto and Mii, and is facing off against the power of the Otomo family. Only the three counties of Mihara, Ikuba, and Takeno are completely within the scope of Otomo's power.
Higo: Secretly has full control of Tamana-gun, and is secretly infiltrating other places.
Nominally, Masaro was already a second lieutenant of Saemon, Hizen Guardian, and Chikugo Guardian, and his retainer Togo Heiji also became Hizen Guardian; In terms of actual control, Masato has also controlled most of the territory of Hizen and Chikugo.
Therefore, at this time, Zhengliang can already be called the lord of the two countries.
