The Saito clan has been the guardian of Mino Province for many years, and although the vitality of the Funada Clan and the Omi Toichi Clan were greatly damaged, and powerful and wealthy clans such as Oshima, Kuwabara, Hineno, and Nariyoshi Shin defected to Nagai Norihide (Saito Michizo), there were still Furuta clans, Sekiki clans, Ishimaru clans and other Chinese forces that obeyed his dispatch, and the maximum total mobilization was around four or five hundred people.

Although the mobilized troops were generally composed of peasant soldiers and less than 12 samurai, they were far from being able to compete with the Kawawami people with only 60 or 70 combat strengths. In addition, although Saito Toshira's Jucheng Geshou Castle is not a famous fortified city, the defending side can still easily play a three- or five-fold battle loss ratio advantage.

However, there is no way out for the people of Kawa, who have stabilized the thief ship, and now they can only obey Jing Zhen's words. At least before Jingzhen forcibly dragged them to the battlefield as cannon fodder, he still didn't dare to really resist.

Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. Before the real plot, Jingzhen first inspected the family background of the Kawa Namizu people under the introduction of Wasuka Masatoshi, more than 40 wooden poles and iron-headed farm tools that could not beat half a catty of iron, five or six pairs of half-decayed bows and arrows, nearly 20 pieces of inferior bamboo armor that could only protect the upper body, seven or eight pieces of slightly tanned stinking leather armor, 70 stone rice, hundreds of catties of wild vegetables, radish, kelp, salted fish and other food. These materials are okay to maintain the daily operation of the cottage, and it will be too late if there is a large-scale fight.

As for the personnel, although there are sixty or seventy young and strong people, they only work as farming and fishing in peacetime, and of course they occasionally engage in robbery, and when it comes to combat qualities, they are not even as good as the peasants and soldiers who often serve.

Therefore, Jingzhen quickly set the current priority of military training, and as for making money and food, he could not take care of it, so he could only pay for it in friendship from the property he brought first. Fortunately, it was the autumn harvest, the price of rice was low, and the requirements for weapons in Jingzhen's planning were not high, so it didn't cost a few times.

In his previous life, he was not a military enthusiast, but Jingzhen, who had been unanimously elected as the head of the head of the head of the Sichuan and all the leaders, could only take office by virtue of his military training experience and the plot of the novel. Time is limited, and Jingzhen does not plan to turn over the flowers, but only intends to cultivate the discipline and unity of everyone through queue training to achieve the goal of strengthening the army.

There are more than half a hundred people, all kinds of people, and Jing Zhen was almost defeated by the army of Chuan and Zhong at the beginning of training. At three o'clock in the morning, sixty or seventy men were assembled, and they stood in a heap in a heap, some laughing and playing, some gathering to chat, some sleepy-eyed, and there were often few people who responded to an order.

Although Jing Zhen had a headache when he saw this, he did not have a seizure, but he continued to observe as if no one was around, and secretly ordered Nagasaka Nobumasa and Mibuchi Tengren to observe and record the performance of everyone, and did not act blatantly until noon, and punished all those who disobeyed the order with half of the meal, and rewarded the few who obeyed with an additional rice ball. After the dissatisfaction and commotion caused by the joint efforts of the leaders of all parties, the afternoon training was much more convenient and honest, although most of them still looked weak and tired, but they were finally able to respond to the orders to stand up and take a break.

With both rewards and punishments, the drill continued day by day. Jingzhen gradually gathered the people in the crowd, whether they were strong or not, but they were clever and obedient, and often praised or gave small favors after the training; For the remaining half or so, those who are self-assured of being strong, disdain for training, and disobey discipline are often ridiculed and provoked, gradually causing the two sides to form an antagonism.

After the contradiction gradually became prominent, Jingzhen took advantage of the situation to divide the two sides into two teams and train separately, and the positive differences between the two groups in training are self-evident. The first team is more united and prohibited, and the second team is more and more personal courage and fighting alone, and the signs of dissatisfaction between the two sides are becoming more and more prevalent.

Half a month later, the queue training was basically completed, and Jingzhen also took advantage of the situation to take out dozens of huge sums of money as lottery heads, and organized a side-by-side confrontation between the first team and the second team.

The game stipulates that the two sides will fight empty-handed in the designated field, and the side that is all knocked down or driven away from the field will be the loser. As soon as the game began, the second team's front disappeared in an instant, and everyone rushed to the opposite side as if they had never trained, cheering up their fists and screaming with brute force. On the other hand, the first team did not meet Jingzhen's expectations, and knew that their physique was not superior, so they calmly maintained the line, and cooperated with each other to overturn and drive the members of the second team who attacked one by one to overturn and drive them out of the battlefield. When the last person of the second team was lifted by everyone and thrown out of the battlefield by the loud shouters, there were more than half of the first team on the field, and the first team also won a clean victory.

After the game, everyone in the first team was rewarded with 100 cents and was busy rejoicing; And the second team, who is stronger in self-esteem and has long regarded the reward as something in their pockets, looked at each other, doubted life, and finally became convinced by Jingzhen. Seeing this result, the leaders who were invited to watch the battle finally convinced Jingzhen's method of training soldiers from the bottom of their hearts, and worked harder to cooperate with the order of their ammunition.

Seeing that the first phase of training had achieved its goal, Jingzhen immediately announced that the two teams would be broken up and mixed and started the second phase of training, and said that everyone would replay in the second stage, and the rewards would be ten times higher than now, and suddenly all kinds of emotions in the audience were transformed into eagerness.

The second stage is the spear training, Jingzhen no longer buys and distributes spears separately, and directly orders the cottage people to use one day to drag back 100 bamboos that have grown for many years and have a uniform thickness from the nearby bamboo forest, and make them into bamboo guns with a length of six meters after they are killed, cut, polished, and sharpened. And Nagasaka Nobumasa organized training as the head of the gun sect.

The gun skills of the Nagasaka Nobumasa family are the killing methods honed on the battlefield by generations of southern and northern wars, and although many mysteries cannot be passed on, only a few skins are enough to benefit the people and the public.

For example, in addition to the well-known thrust, what is more important for the gun is to master the slapping action. The important role of the slap is to interrupt the opponent's thrust action, or even to knock out or cut off the enemy's spear.

Combined with Nobumasa Nagasaka's movement training, Jingzhen also interspersed with queue training. The trainees are arranged into two rows. The front row is the main slapper, and while marching in unison during the war, he waives his spear with the command of the platoon leader, constantly breaking the opponent's weapons and squeezing the opposite space; The main thrust in the rear row, while marching in unison during the war, repeats the thrust and gun retraction actions according to the command of the platoon leader, causing damage to the enemy. But what Jing Zhen didn't know was that the method of warfare he envisioned of constantly slapping and stabbing and then adjusting the formation to wrap the enemy like a quilt was given the name of "gun" in the later war.
