Now that Yokota Takamatsu had returned to his heart, Keizada ordered him to gather the Koga ninja under his command, and continued to recruit scattered old people and special talents, and returned to the territory with him three days later. He joined forces with Nagasaka Masanobu and the Twelve Guns, who had just arrived, and began to recruit troops in the town.

Propaganda is the only way to unite and mobilize the people at all times. After setting up a recruitment point in the best area of the town in the town of Sadachi Bread, he sent a message to all the merchants in the town through the Sakata Genemon Gate, promising that each person introduced who successfully enlisted in the army would receive "tea money".

For a moment, "Good news, good news!" Jiafei Takeda Group Co., Ltd., Zhongju Mojun Jingzhen Zhushi will be recruiting! Famous generals are directly hired, high-salary and excellent records, food and accommodation, high benefits, good treatment, annual salary from 10 times, two people support rice, and say goodbye to 996! What are you waiting for, come and join us in supporting the Takeda clan! Advertisements were all over the town.

At that time, where had the simple lords seen such bells and whistles, they rushed to the recruitment point in the town to watch. When it was learned that "men between the ages of fifteen and forty can sign up, as long as they are innocent and have no serious diseases, and then complete a few strange movements (the physical fitness test of the future generations) can pass the test, and obtain ten years of salary, two people support rice, and there is another reward for meritorious service, and there is another pension for the dead and wounded." Even if you don't pass the test after signing up, there are also recruitment conditions for Baiwen hard work", and this kind of popularity exploded instantly!

Ten years old, two people support rice. Good guy, these conditions are almost catching up with the treatment of a low-level samurai like the head of the Ashigaru group, not to mention the prospect of becoming a samurai master in case of making war achievements! Those of the appropriate age called for friends, and the registration point was immediately surrounded by water, and the Nagasaka Masanobu and the Twelve Guns who were in charge of the test were almost exhausted into dead dogs.

For a time, the whole family of the passer was honored, the disqualified were depressed and beat their chests, those who lied about their age, and those who begged for exceptional admission abounded, cheers, wails, and sighs, turning the small conscription point into a microcosm of the world.

When the three-day conscription was over, there were 300 young and middle-aged men who had passed the conscription in the dormitory under Jingzhen's charter, and almost all the strong laborers in the town were exhausted. However, seeing that he had lost all his labor and that the castle town was about to be completely paralyzed, the town councilor could not bear it anymore, but he still alarmed Itagaki Nobukata, who scolded Jingzhen and ordered him to take a maximum of 100 people. Jing Zhencai endured the distress of picking and choosing, selecting the best of the best, and taking a hundred people who were either outstanding in physique or with unique specialties, he would return to the Giant Mo County Territory with Yokota Takamatsu and more than a dozen old subordinates under his command.

When the team of nearly 100 people drove to Jumo County, Naito Masato, who had returned first, had already taken more than a dozen natives recruited under the same conditions, built a simple wooden house that could accommodate 100 people, and boiled dozens of large pots of hot water. In order to avoid the spread of plague, disease, or parasites, the ignorant recruits were ordered to line up to shave their heads, take a bath, distribute new clothes and equipment, and burn the tattered clothes they had changed. After a period of washing, the originally stinky and messy miscellaneous army also had a little more spirit under the backdrop of uniform clothing.

Next, it's about how to allocate the manpower of each department and arrange training. According to Jingzhen's plan, considering that the family has sufficient money and food and does not need to cultivate their own land, they can directly implement the separation of soldiers and peasants and establish a standing armament, and in addition to the separate ninja army, the ashigaru spear formation and cavalry squad can be established respectively.

Because he learned that Yokota Takamatsu was not only a martial artist, but also a treasure boy who was proficient in bows and arrows and horsemanship. Rejoicing, he handed over the formation of the cavalry to Yokota Takamatsu, and ordered him to give priority to selecting thirty qualified people from the new recruits for training, and the expenses should be paid. The rest of the recruits were handed over to Nagasaka Nobumasa and the 12 guns, and the gun formations were practiced according to the old method of Mino River.

As for the ninja army, considering that Yokota Takamatsu had limited energy and was not here, Jingzhen appointed Mibuchi Fuji to take charge of it. From the more than ten Koga ninjas, the leader named Tozawa Hakusai was promoted to the head of the Ashigaru group, and he was given 50 guan annual salary and 2,000 kan annual funds, and cooperated with Mibuchi Fuji to directly manage the affairs of the ninja army, so that he continued to collect information from the strange people of Luo Qi and probed the business, military, and talent of the surrounding countries, and on the other hand, he assigned personnel to focus on strengthening the monitoring of Suruga and Sagami, especially starting with the large transactions and price fluctuations of rice, horses, and weapons, so as to grasp the preparations of the Imagawa clan and the Hojo clan in real time.

In this way, the division of labor in the territory was initially formed in which Masanobu Nagasaka was in charge of military affairs and was specifically in charge of the main force of Ashigaru, Yokota Takamatsu was in charge of assisting and in charge of the cavalry squad, Mibuchi Fuji was in charge of intelligence and foreign affairs, and Naito Masatomi was in charge of internal affairs.

Among them, participating in the formation and training of the army and establishing his own supreme authority and greatest influence are the top priorities of Jingzhen at present.

The next day, the training began.

Compared with the period of Sichuan and Zhongzhong, in addition to learning to stand in line, Jingzhen also added new homework such as turning left and right, and walking and running together.

As people who have never received modern training, these recruits only gave up their farm work or craftsmanship a few days ago, and behaved miserably in training, and a large number of people could not even distinguish between left and right.

At this time, the benefits of the veteran backbone are reflected. The Twelve Guns, as the leaders of Jingzhen's previous training, were directly assigned to each column as instructors. For recruits who have not learned for a long time or have a rebellious attitude, they are directly beckoned with a big stick and whip, beaten and scolded, and maintain their training. However, the recruits' dissatisfaction was soon consumed by the satisfaction of a full meal, except for the pickled fish, wild boar or venison, and the fragrant rice was even more satisfying, and considering that there were ten dollars to be taken at the end of the year, everyone endured.

Time passed quickly, and after half a month, the queue exercise was basically completed, and the following training became more and more heavy and intensive.

Queue up, run long distances, learn to listen to drums and flags, and start practicing the basic movements of "guns". The training has also been increased from two hours in the morning and evening to three exercises in the morning, afternoon and evening, which are indispensable except for the patient.

The morning, noon, and evening drills were drills in the cold wind, and the army suddenly fainted and collapsed, and everyone's faces were bruised from the cold, and complaints inevitably rose, especially among the mountain people.

"Eat the army, serve the military order! On the first day of entering the camp, you have signed a life and death contract, and everything is done by military law! And the first rule of military law is that those who escape from the battle will be killed! Although it is a daily training, it is no different from a battle! On this day, Jing Zhen, who was dressed in red armor and had lost a lot of weight in black but was a little more powerful, stood still in the snow and roared angrily.

As soon as he waved his hand, three deserters were pulled in front of them by the twelve guns, among whom were two mountain people, with a fierce body and a rebellious face, and one was an agitated townsman, no more than fifteen or sixteen years old. Looking at this posture, he kept crying:

"Your Highness spares your life, Your Highness spares your life, I don't dare anymore!"

Faced with this scene, Jingzhen was unwavering: "Kill!" ”

Seeing that the three of them were desperately pressed, the three gunmen pulled out the knives hanging from their waists, and with a flash of the knife, the heads rolled down, and blood splattered, spurting out several feet.

Faced with this situation, the entire battalion of nearly more than one person, together with the cavalry and ninja soldiers who were specially called to watch the execution, were all silent.

"Hang your head for three days, then collect and bury, and the rest of you will continue to train!" Jingzhen's gaze swept over everyone and drank.

At this time, he had handed over all the internal affairs to Naito Masatoyo to take care of, and left Tsuruko, ate and lived in the barracks all day and night, and trained on time, no different from ordinary soldiers, and even Takeda Shingen sent letters many times to invite him to ride a horse and drink tea, but he was dismissed.

With the severe military law of beheading the fugitive captive, the food and medicine guarantee at any cost, and the demonstration of the Lord as an example, eating and living all day long, and the demonstration of three exercises, and the compilation and singing of military songs to soothe the emotions and the heavy money of those who are excellently trained, all these means finally suppressed the backlash of the soldiers.

After more than a month, everything was finally on the right track, except for singing military songs in the army, there was no different sound, and all of them were fierce and strong, listening to orders, and stabbing and slapping and other actions became more and more skillful.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of February, and Mibuchi Fuji hurried to the military camp with the latest information.

After reporting the permission, he entered the camp and was shocked.

I saw a hundred spearmen, lined up in several queues.

"Ready!"

"Kill!" I saw that the pikemen, under the order, all moved neatly, with a forest of spears, uniform movements, neat steps, straight as a long line.

Hundreds of paces away, Yokota Takamatsu was leading more than 20 horsemen to gallop on the vast training ground, sometimes rushing forward in a squad of three or five people, sometimes converging into a group, forming various charging formations such as sharp arrows and fish scales, and swept through like a whirlwind.

Finally, Jingzhen took the twelve guns as the core, and on the basis of the Sichuan and the public, he trained a better strong soldier!

"My lord, there's urgent information coming from the direction of Suruga!" Either because he maintained the majesty of the lord in public, or because he was intimidated by the murderous aura that came from Jing Zhen's face, Mibuchi Fuji did not call the more intimate name between several people, but reported it as the lord.

"Well, you've worked hard for you and everyone during this time."

Jing Zhen took the information and glanced at it quickly, although he frowned, but immediately relaxed, his face did not show the embarrassment and worry of more than a month ago, he patted Mibuchi Fuji on the shoulder with relief

"The long-awaited guests are about to fill the door! It seems that we have to work harder and hurry up to put this show on the table! ”
