The man after marriage is happy, and Masara takes care of the territory affairs and inspects the training of various teams during the day, and trains his wife on the tatami mat at night, living a fairy-like life.

But the good times always pass quickly, and as the autumn harvest approaches, a plan that has been planned in the conscience of the government officially kicked off.

On August 8, 1540, Masaro summoned all the important retainers to make an important assessment in the Notakayama Lord's Mansion.

Sitting on the throne, Masahiro slowly glanced at all the retainers, and this time it was really all the important retainers present.

Sitting in the first row are Heiji Togo, Kuniharu Onishi, Hiromune Tsuda, and Kosuke; In the second row are Tadajiro, Hirasa Masatada, Kizo Shigetada, and Sun Goro; In the third row are Ikno, Sasuke Roche and Masahide Roche. The younger ones were Shingoro and Kanatsu kneeling behind Masara, while the youngest, Yoshinomaru, stood outside the council hall. Togo Ju has become the lady of the lord's main room, so it is no longer convenient to attend the meeting as the secretary of the meeting, and Tsuru, who also writes well with a brush, is the secretary, responsible for recording the content of the meeting. Attending such a meeting for the first time, the little girl seemed quite uneasy, her head buried deep in her neck, and she was almost like an ostrich hiding in the sand.

"Ladies and gentlemen," after the retainers had finished saluting, Masari spoke first, "I have decided to prepare to attack the Haoqiang in the west of my family. ”

As soon as the words of "Wow" Masahiro came out, the retainers below were shocked, and they all turned their heads and ears, but no one had any objections, after nearly a month of recuperation, the newly occupied territory of the former Taijiu family and the Changcang family has been completely digested, and the territory is thriving. Moreover, the majesty of the head of the Luo family cannot be disputed, and everyone has fully adapted to the way of doing things.

"Look," Masahiro pointed to a simulated sand table map made of clay on the right side of the council hall, which was made in detail by Masahiro based on the information collected by the detective, "This is the distribution of Haoqiang in the west of the family, and I will first introduce the details by Yinuo." ”

It was also the first time for the retainers to see such a novel map, and they all craned their necks to look at it.

Hearing Zhengliang's order, Yinuo quickly came to the map and sat down on his knees, and then began to introduce, "Everyone, please see, the small bamboo stick in the center of the map is the location of the family, and the west side of the family, from left to right, on the left is the Dongshan family, the Hanoi family, and the Guan Mu family; In the middle is the Akasaka family, and on the coast of the Akasaka family are the pirates of the Kuban, Mankoshi, Sugino, and Yuno; On the right are the main family, the Dono family, the Uekura family, and the Tateishi family. And bordering the Kamikura family and the Tateishi family are various pirates led by the Miyi people. The Higashiyama family, the Hanoi family, and the Guan Mu family on the left have formed an alliance to fight against the expanding Akasaka family, and the two camps have just fought recently. The coastal pirates seem to have a good relationship with the Uekura family, which is also an important reason why the Uekura family has been suppressed by the Akasaka family but has not perished. The Dono family, on the other hand, has launched several attacks on the Tateishi family in conjunction with the Uchiyi people, and has recently occupied many of the Tateishi family's territories. The Akasaka family, the Uekura family, the Dono family, and the Tateishi family all have hatred for each other, and it is difficult to unite in a short period of time, and the main family is just breaking down one by one. ”

Zhengliang also had a detailed understanding of the situation of several companies.

Geographically speaking, the location of the heroes in the west is the poorest place in East Songpu due to the more hilly and wooded areas and less flat land, and the population and stone height are not much, Zhengliang roughly estimated, although the total area of the above-mentioned Haoqiang territory is twice that of the Luo family, but the stone height is about 4,000 stones, and the population is only more than 2,000 people. The location is remote and poor, and it has been largely forgotten by the major powers of Higashi Matsuura. However, the strategic location here is very important, it directly borders the Luo family to the east, to the south through the Tangchuan River can directly reach the heart of the Tangjin hinterland, to the southwest there are the mountains of Takao Mountain, Mizumoto Mountain, Kishicha Mountain, Takadake, Mt. Ridake and Mt. Kishidake, through the mountain trail, you can directly reach the old nest of the Boka family in the area of Mt. Kishidake; Directly west, the coastal area is reached, where Imari Bay and even the Hirado Matsuura area can be reached by waterways. More importantly, there are rich resources, salt and fishing can be carried along the coast, there are many medicinal materials on the mountain, Gaowei Mountain, Shuiyuan Mountain, Wucha Mountain, Gaoyue, Riyue These mountains have high-quality porcelain clay and sulfur, these are good things, others will not use it, but Masashi will use it, there are so many treasures there but not found, Masashi can't help but feel itchy. At the end, after conquering this territory, the strategic depth of the Luo family is much larger, and before the other heroes realize the strategic importance there, it is also relatively safe, and it is easier to defend. The Luo family could have lurked there secretly, waiting for the opportunity to attack. …,

If you look at it from the point of view of emotional hatred, Masaliang's strategy target this time should be the Ishida family. The head of the Ishida family, Ishida Jibu, not only still occupies part of the territory of the former Taijiu family, but has also recently been jumping up and down to fan the flames everywhere, trying to form an encirclement of the Luo family. But since the Bojia family made high-profile contact with the Luo family, the rest of the Haoqiang were very shrewd, and they all stopped puffing up, and they were vain about the Ishida family's proposal. But the interests of the family should be rational, and they can't be too emotional, so Masashi decided to let the Ishida family bounce for a few more days, and first solve the Haoqiang in the west of the Luo family.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my plan is like this, in the middle of August, while all the heroes are busy with the autumn harvest and cannot mobilize and gather the peasant soldiers in time, I will first send a team to attack the three heroes on the left and break them one by one; Then the main family attacked the Akasaka family in the middle from the left and right sides at the same time, and destroyed the Akasaka family in one fell swoop; The last thing is to concentrate forces to bulldoze the Kamikura family, the Tangno family, and the Tateishi family" After Yinuo's introduction, Masashi immediately said the general plan of the strategy.

"Your Highness, the middle of August is also the time when the autumn harvest begins, and the sudden mobilization of troops is likely to cause dissatisfaction and even turmoil among the people," Togo Heiji said immediately.

Although the standing troops have made it clear that they can't take a long vacation to return to their respective fields to harvest grain (excluding the daily food consumption given to the standing troops in the territory, each standing army can get at least 7 stone of net income to bring home, which is enough for the family to eat and wear), but according to the territorial law, they have four days of vacation every month, and now they suddenly have to fight again, they must have an idea. Moreover, for such a large-scale military operation, standing alone was not enough, which meant that the peasants had to be mobilized, which further exacerbated the discontent of the people.

"Now there are a large number of people in the territory who have joined the territory after spring ploughing, and these people do not have a harvest this year and do not need to participate in the autumn harvest, so organize these people to carry out paid conscription to assist the families of those who participated in the operation to harvest grain," Masara said, so that the problem of autumn harvest can be solved, and the people who have no grain harvest this year can be relieved in disguise, so as to avoid instability due to the lack of harvest.

"Huh? Your Highness? It's going to cost a lot of food," Togo exclaimed.

"It's okay, the food is gone, and it will be replenished soon. This time, the remuneration for conscription will be directly deducted from the military food reserves," Masashi said. It is estimated that the conscription organized this time will consume hundreds of stone of reserve food, and Masashi is planning to strike a blow with all his might.

"That's... It can only be like this" Dongxiang Heiji thought about it, and really couldn't think of a better way, so he could only nod in favor of it. The rest of the retainers agreed.

"Okay, since everyone has no objections, then I will now begin to officially issue orders," Masarashi shouted, "Onishi Kuniji, Tsuda Hiromune, and Roshi Sasuke listen to the order. ”

The three people who heard the order immediately straightened their waists.

"The three of you lead your own teams, closely monitor and guard against the powerful in the east, once the foreign enemy comes to attack, you don't need to wait for my orders, you can attack on your own. Sasuke, you have to do a good job of connecting the two teams. Masato ordered.

"Yes, Your Highness," the three of them bowed down to receive the order.

"Sun Goro, you continue to sweep Banwu Bay according to the original plan, but be careful to put more pressure on the Standing Stone family and the Mei Yi people, so that they have no time to take care of other places, if necessary, you can pretend to attack them, but remember not to fight on land, your own navy is still very weak, and you can't have too many losses."

"Yes, Your Highness, Your Majesty guarantees that the Navy will complete its mission."

"Togo Heiji, you have to be responsible for the daily affairs of the territory and ensure the stability of the territory. Fortunately, you have to do a good job of dispatching supplies to ensure the supply of food and other materials. Kizo Shigetada, you have to pay attention to the deal with the Kamiya family, and deal with the diplomacy of the rest of the powerful people, causing them to mistakenly believe that the family is carrying out the autumn harvest with peace of mind. ”…,

"Yes, Your Highness." All three of them received orders at the same time.

"Tadajiro, you temporarily transfer 10 standing ashigaru from the second and third teams, and then recruit 100 peasant soldiers from the people who don't need the autumn harvest, plus the 10 samurai I sent to you, to form a force of 130 people, step up training these days, Masahide, you can assist Tadajiro," Masarashi continued to command.

Tadajiro and Masahide Roshi bowed down to lead the people.

"Shingoro", Masarashi turned his head to look at the little surnamed Shingoro behind him.

"Your Highness" Shingoro didn't expect that there would be something about him this time, and immediately bowed and saluted.

"Go back and consult with your father Shinzaburo, and immediately organize a squad of hunters, and on the 10th of August march from the pastures on the side of Mt. Jotaka along the banks of the Ishigawa River, and open up a secret passage leading to the Higashiyama house at the foot of Mt. Ishitaka, taking care to leave clear marks along the way; On the 12th of August, Tadajiro will lead a makeshift procession along the markers you left behind and finally join you. In the process of opening up the trail, watch out for the wild boar herd and wild wolves there, "Xingoro's family is from the Orion family, and they are the most familiar with walking in the woods, so they are the best candidates for this task.

"Yes, Your Highness" Shigoro was excited, it seemed that he was not far from being delegated to another position in the family to take up specific duties.

"Heizo Masataka, during this time, you arranged for some leaders to grab the grain near Yunowei City, and deliberately relaxed the patrol density there, so that other powerful detectives could see the situation of their own family harvesting grain, creating the false impression that their family had already invested in the autumn harvest and had no time to take care of it; Once the battle begins, you and I, as the main commanders of the forces that are confusing the Akasaka family, will be ready to fight at any time. ”

"Yes, Your Highness", Hirasa Masataka respectfully received the order, his task was the most difficult, at first trying to confuse the enemy, and then seizing the opportunity to enter the battle, which greatly tested his command ability.

"Yinuo, during this time, you must closely monitor the movements of each Haoqiang and report the latest situation in a timely manner; Once the battle begins, you'll have to make sure you're in touch with each other. Zhengliang said later. Yinuo bowed down to receive the order.

"Okay, after the specific tasks are arranged, let's discuss the armament situation again," Masarashi said, "The Kamiya family has already sent the third batch of supplies yesterday, plus the previous two batches of materials, the family now has 150 pairs of full, 250 bows, enough or according to the distribution standards of the first two batches of materials, priority is given to the samurai who participated in this battle and the standing ashigaru; The bow has already been issued to all archers. During this period, all teams should continue to strengthen the adaptation training of these weapons. Next, we will mainly discuss the issue of military rations. ”

The last time he besieged Sashi's house, Masara really experienced the pain of not having enough military rations, and the troops almost retreated due to lack of food. Of course, now the problem is not the lack of food, but how to carry enough food, after all, the roads are not developed now, and it is okay in one's own territory, once you get to someone else's territory, the road is narrow, or even there is no road, the speed of the march will inevitably be greatly slowed down, so it will be too troublesome to carry a lot of pots and pans. For mountain marching, in order to ensure mobility, it is best not to bring anything that you can without.
