As the order to assemble sounded, all the men over the age of 15 in the territory were gathered in a school field in front of Komaki Town. Located in front of Komaki Town, this school is the only entrance to Komaki Town facing Notaka Mountain, and is only a 5-minute run from Onishi Town, which is large enough for hundreds of people to train.

At this time, all the people stood in a mess, and when they saw the arrival of the lord, they quickly stopped talking.

Luo Shimasarashi glanced at everyone, and there were only 6 people present (Togo Heiji was organizing the distribution of this month's grain, Onishi Kuniji brought 5 people to lobby the nearby filthy people to join the capital area, and Tsuda Hiromune followed him), and they were all the townspeople of Komaki Town (they were all slightly injured to varying degrees in the first battle last night, but they all gathered when they heard that the lord was going to train them how to kill the bandits).

"Everyone, I saw your heroic side last night, and I'm proud of your performance," Luo Shimasarashi said with a serious face as he looked at the messy ashigaru standing in front of him, "But, that's not enough. ”

These ashigaru saw the lord praising him for his positive expression, but he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the lord's words.

"Yes, if you want to defeat the bandits, these are not enough, now you are just an ant as the bandits say, and you will only be killed when you go to battle", Luo Zhenglianghao said unceremoniously.

The ashigaru people were a little unconvinced, but when they thought about whether it was the lord standing in front of them, or a swordsman who had killed 7 or 8 bandits, they were immediately deflated.

"Start today...... I and your Ashigaru general, Lord Tsuda Hiromune, will train you," Masarashi looked at the ashigaru's disgruntled expressions, carefully analyzing the changes in their hearts.

"Not convinced? See what you stand for? Whoever is dissatisfied can stand up, and whoever can take me a move will take back my words", Luo Zhengliang's eyes widened, and the coercion of the swordsman immediately emanated.

Several ashigaru immediately took a step back in fright.

"The first lesson I will teach you today is to obey the commands, to serve the orders of your lords, and to take the orders of your lords as the highest commands. From now on, if anyone disobeys my orders, I will use this knife to remove their heads", and with that, Luo Zhengliang pulled out his sword and plunged it into the ground in front of him with a "swoop".

"One person is given to the enemy to kill, but two people can kill twice as many enemies. Follow me and I will teach you how to fight your enemies and take off their heads," continued Roche Masashi.

"When this training is over, after passing my test, you will become a warrior of my Luo family, a noble samurai master", after standing up, Luo Shi threw a bombshell at the right time, and then stared at the group of ashigaru in front of him and asked loudly, "So, tell me, are you confident to pass the test?" ”

"Yes, Your Highness", a group of Ashigaru were all excited after hearing Luo's words. I was a filthy person yesterday, but now I can become a samurai as long as I pass the test of the lord. Honorable samurai lord, you can not even want your life for the sake of this position.

"Very well, I will make you a real samurai", Masaro Roche was pleased with the performance of the ashigaru.

So with the excited Six Ashigaru, Luo Zhengliang officially began his career as an instructor. His training plan is mainly divided into three parts, one is mainly to learn the basic sense of discipline, learn to stand in line and walk in unison, and distinguish between left and right; second, exercise; Third, the preliminary practice of the spear formation. After all, time is limited, and the bandits will soon come to retaliate, so the main purpose is to form initial combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

In the first three days, because some of the achitar wounds had not yet scabbed, they were mainly trained in the queue. Due to the limited level of education, at the beginning, a few ashigaru always forgot to leave and right, and after the last Luo Shizheng let them hold a stone in their right hand to remember the left and right, it gradually improved, so it took nearly two days to teach these ashigaru to distinguish between the left and the right, and whether to cross the left leg or the back leg first when walking in unison. On the contrary, Tsuda Hiromune mastered this novel training method very quickly, and many of the essentials were taught at once. …,

After the first three days of full-day training, the wounds with light injuries were basically fine, so from the fourth day, the new training rules were introduced.

Every morning at six o'clock, the ashigaru team must get up, and then each carry a spear, bring a rice ball, and after gathering at the school field, do a four-mile road (the distance from the school field to the front of Onishi Town is two miles, back and forth twice, a total of four miles, 2000 meters) armed weight-bearing cross-country training.

Even Masara Roche himself had to participate and run with the weight with the ashigaru. When the ashigaru saw that the lord had joined them and trained together, their morale was very high.

The run took almost half an hour. After arriving at the training ground, take a short rest, and the ashigaru students finish their own rice balls and start the formal exercise. Since the time was in the morning, and the territory was originally in a very remote place, and the two Hao clans bordering each other were also most of a day's distance apart, and they had to pass through dense forests, so Luo Zhengliang was not afraid that his military training methods would be looked at by people with ulterior motives.

After about 1 hour of platoon training, the spear training begins. Luo Masara found someone to tie several thatched men, and asked Ashigaru to stab at least 300 times a day under the leadership of Tsuda Hiromune.

After the spear training is completed, the training of the gun formation begins. The main ones are phalanxes and circles. Due to the limited number of people, the phalanx is currently only divided into two rows, the front and back, staggered to meet the enemy head-on; Circles are mainly used for defense in the event of an encirclement.

When all of the above training is completed and the morning is basically over, the ashigaru can be dismissed and return to work in their fields. After all, the current food conditions cannot afford to separate the soldiers and peasants, and if the ashigaru people are forced to train all day, they may escape. Now he is just a lord with a weak foundation who has been promoted, and once he arouses the anger of the public, his life will be in danger every minute.

On the afternoon of the fourth day of the official start of the training, he received a message from Onishi Kuniji, saying that he had successfully persuaded the three townsmen and the nearby filthy people to join the territory, but because they needed to move, it would take two days to arrive, and at the same time asked to send someone to answer, after all, they might be attacked by bandits during the relocation process.

As a result, Luo Masara had to suspend the work of personally leading the training, and Tsuda Hiromune was in charge of supervising it, while he did his best to deal with this matter.

Why wasn't Heiji Togo in charge of this work? The reason starts on the third day of the official start of ashigaru training. On the third day after the start of the ashigaru training, considering that as the ashigaru injury improved, the amount of training gradually increased, and the physical energy consumption during the training was large, Roche Masarashi issued an order to increase the number of ashigaru people participating in the training by 1 bucket of miscellaneous grains per month. After receiving this order, Dongxiang Heiji angrily ran to Luo Zhengliang and said that he could not do this government affairs and insisted on picking and quitting.

To be honest, it's no wonder that Togo Heiji is so annoyed. There are only 47 koku in the entire territory, and 11 koku have been distributed this month, and the lord is also preparing to collect the filthy people of the three nearby towns, even if they bring their own food, it is conservatively estimated that they will have to distribute another 10 koku or so. Now the lord is going to increase the expenditure of ashigaru food, according to the calculation of 20 to 30 people, each ashigaru will increase the distribution of 1 bucket of miscellaneous grain, and then the month will increase by 2 to 3 koku, and the minimum expenditure for this month alone is 23 koku, so what will happen in the next few months? Therefore, Dongxiang Heiji incarnated as an "angry youth" uncle and vomited bitterness to Luo Zhengliang.

Luo Zhengliang couldn't think of a solution for a while, so he had to start the idea of the two wealthy clans nearby, didn't you ask me to help you block the bandits? Well, you need to be paid.

So Luo Masarashi said to Togo Heiji, "Heiji, pick a person who looks seriously injured, and take the heads of the two bandits to the Dono family and Tahara's house, remember to make the appearance a little embarrassed." Luo Masara also did not ask Togo Heiji to self-harm, because he was also injured last night. His arm is still bandaged with a few rags. …,

Dongxiang Heiji couldn't help but choke in his throat when he heard it, and the next bitter words that he had just prepared to vomit suddenly choked in his throat. I couldn't help muttering in my heart, what does this lord want to do?

"After you arrived at these two houses, tell them that the bandits have been attacking the town frequently recently, and the town is almost unable to support it, and make two requests to them, one is to ask them to send troops to repel or even eliminate the bandits, and the other is to give them food, grass and weapons support, and we are willing to pay a certain fee. If the two families don't support us, we'll have to move somewhere else to survive. Also, be careful not to let them know that we have been integrated into one territory", continued Luo Zhengliang.

"Your Highness, it's understandable to ask for food, grass and weapons support, but when you send troops, the minister is worried that they will take the opportunity to annex their own family," Togo Heiji said to Luo Masarashi in confusion.

Luo's political conscience said that the head of the Dongxiang branch of Satsuma Prefecture had not fully agreed with his lord, so he dared to raise such an objection, so he had to ask rhetorically, "Heiji, do you think they will send troops?" ”

Dongxiang Heiji was stunned again, his brows furrowed slightly, and after thinking for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he saluted Luo Zhengliang and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty understands, Your Majesty will set off immediately tomorrow to ensure the completion of the task." ”

On the morning of the second day, Togo Heiji went to the school and chose a person who seemed to be injured and set off, and the first destination was the Dono house in the southwest, where there were people who Togo Heiji knew well.

As a result, Luo Zhengliang, who was now short of major generals and had no food, had no choice but to go into battle shirtless himself, and Tsuda Hiromune was responsible for taking over the training work. After more than two days of training, several ashigaru have basically mastered the stoppage of the march, and it is difficult to see results in a short period of time. The rest is to supervise the training, of course, Tsuda Hirojong does not have as much deterrence as Luo Zhengliang, maybe Luo Zheng Liang will really slack off after leaving, so Luo Zheng Liang left his own saber on the high platform of the school field, and before leaving, he also clearly ordered Tsuda Hirozong in front of the public, once someone slacked off in training, he used this knife to cut off his head, in order to deter the training of Ashigaru.

In this way, Luo returned to his own residence empty-handed (it turned out that the katana seized from the thief was rewarded to Onishi Kuniji). He first arranged for someone to inform Onishi Kuniji to gather all the people who had taken refuge there into one town before setting off for the territory, and then immediately organized the remaining people in Komaki Town and Onishi Town to build enough temporary huts next to Honmachi, and the wood was cut and transported by the trained Ashigaru.
