Chapter 5 compiles and trains the homeless to be brave

The next day, on the campus field on the shore of the Yuanhai Lake, the drums were beating and the clouds were soaring, except for the old and weak women and children, the young and strong homeless people in the entire township were deceived into the fence built by themselves before the winter.

After being confiscated of hoes, rakes and other farm tools, they gathered around the podium in groups of three or five, staring longingly at the table of grain bags on the platform like a hill, and the twenty boxes of open money boxes on the stage, which were also full of silver coins, shining in the winter sun.

Dressed in curls and hats, the military servicemen armed with guns and swords, under the leadership of their respective villages, guarded all parts of the school grounds, trying to make a brave and majestic posture, and at the same time, quietly, the gate was closed at some point, and was held up with a wooden stake behind the door.

Under the banner of "Nan no Amitabha", the master sat on the Hu bed, holding a sword, not knowing what he was thinking, and the two sides were kneeling in turn, and the soldiers and generals of the Pingshan Party, such as the head of the group, the samurai, and the envoy who were elected overnight last night.

Looking down from the top, Gao Shisheng couldn't help but feel worried, most of these more than 400 homeless people were in thin brown clothes, with their hands wrapped in their sleeves, or holding their shoulders, shivering in the cold wind, and the hunger and irritability revealed in their eyes were really intimidating.

Everyone was waiting for his order to recruit troops and assign labor, and the homeless people received the news from yesterday that the county warden was going to select brave men to fill the flag.

If you are selected, not only will you be able to eat the soldiers' rations, but your family will also have support for Mikona, and most importantly, you will be given to the house, and the whole family can move to Sakujo Castle to live, although I don't know where the county rule is, but at least it is much better than dozens of people crammed into a longhouse, or even a place to live.

Even if you can't choose the ashigaru, you can take labor to serve, and you can always bring some food back to the pot.

What's more, the Zen master of the Pure Land Shinshu sect who announced the news was a senior monk of the temple, although some people were still muttering quietly and expressing doubts about it, but when they saw the fierce eyes cast around them, they also quickly silenced it, even if it may be fake, but the hunger and cold, the homeless people can't help but believe this lie.

Gao Shisheng pressed the knife on his side, Huo Ran got up, and repeatedly told himself in his heart that the so-called Ci is not in charge of the army, and the generals often kill the most not the enemy soldiers, but their own soldiers, and they provide for them to survive for many days, and it is time for the other party to repay with his life.

He took a few steps forward, stood on the edge of the high platform, and the two errands behind him struck three times in a row the big gong hanging on the platform, and the whole school was quiet, only the whistling wind and the residual gong still echoed in everyone's ears.

Next, Gao Shisheng raised the forged joint signature talisman high, and shouted to the displaced people below with all his strength: "By the order of the county general, record your household registration, draw 500 brave soldiers, give silver money, grain, and winter clothes, and think that you will hire a straight apprentice, and after receiving the money and grain, you will immediately go to the county with me to enter the register." ”

In an instant, the scene was in an uproar, and a smart person quickly realized that something was wrong, "This is clearly a deception, why do you want us to go to the county immediately?" "Hiring Naobutashi appeared before the war, which was very different from the recruitment of standing flags, and it was obvious that he was going out to fight.

"Didn't you say you were going to be elected? Why do you have to go all of them? ”

"I don't eat this soldier's ration, I'm here to serve in labor!"

Soon, this discontent clamor spread like a river bursting its embankment, spreading in all directions of the school yard and heading straight for the high platform.

The generals on the left and right were fierce, and they all looked at Gao Shisheng and waited for him to give an order, Gao Shisheng drew his knife and shouted, "There are county generals here, and there are those who dare to make noise and disturb the audio-visual, but you have to try to see if the knife is sharp!" ”

At this time, he looked sideways, and sure enough, he saw a group of homeless people retreating towards the gate behind the school field, so he pointed at it with his knife and shouted, "Mo Feier and others, if you want to rob the armor, you can't make trouble!" ”

This shout shocked the audience, originally the group of homeless people just noticed the abnormality in this conscription order, and they didn't want to go to the county government, so they wanted to quietly open the gate and escape, but they didn't want Gao Shisheng to open his mouth and insist that they wanted to plot wrong!

These days, the homeless people temporarily live in Misawa and gather, naturally they have some understanding of this village that has obviously suffered from military disasters, coupled with the depiction of the people in the countryside adding oil and vinegar, they are very afraid of Gao Shisheng, which will be even more untenable, and hurriedly pushed away the people in front of him, and quickly ran to the door, pushing hard, wanting to escape, but the gate did not move.

At this moment, the Pingshan party army on the podium saw that there was really armed resistance, and could no longer sit still, and all stood up, and the group of displaced people who wanted to escape saw that the gate was not moving, and saw Ashigaru holding a gun surrounding, and immediately knelt down in fright, kowtowed and begged for mercy, saying that they had never robbed the armor and committed the idea of making trouble.

"Xiangzuo, how should this be handled!" Hasegawa Mototada, Toyohisa Ishimatsu, and Nobumitsu Hamana all asked for instructions from Takashi Sheng.

"The thieves have already planned, and before the noisy camp, how should they be dealt with according to military law?" Gao Shisheng waved his hand and asked Nobumitsu Hamana, who was in charge of the Mufu Prison Army, to order the disposal.

In order not to have an internal struggle for military power, Gao Shisheng assigned his righteous brother to serve as the supervisor of the army, although Hamana Nobumitsu has not really studied the military law regulations, but relying on the ears of his fathers and ancestors, he can still keep some basic military laws in mind, and immediately came out and said, "According to the judgment of the township, only then dare to make trouble, all the beheadings are shown to the public!" ”

Hearing the word 'chop', the homeless people who had just given up resistance and were easily restrained by their feet struggled hard and shouted for forgiveness, but unfortunately it was too late.

In the eyes of the wealthy people of Pingshan Township, these homeless people are out-and-out chaotic people, not only intruding into their own territory, but also instigating the people under their rule to resist, and executing these 'kingless and fatherless' thieves is simply a matter of course.

In order to deter the remaining six, the samurai in charge of the execution were all samurai, and the ashigaru would kneel in front of a row of 'thieves who tried to rob the armor and make trouble' in public, grabbed the bun, and forced it to bow its head and expose its neck, and then the knife light turned, and blood was sprayed all over the neck, and in a short moment, the human head was cut off cleanly and neatly, and fell into the snow one after another.

The white frost and snow were dyed into large patches of red, among which Aoki Daizen cut off the most heads, and he killed half of the twelve 'rebels' himself, and suddenly there was a roar, and it exploded out of thin air, and the remaining homeless people noticed that more than 20 iron cannons on the walls on both sides were facing the black hole and the hole to themselves.

Looking around, the spear in Ashigaru's hand was aimed at him, constantly approaching, even if he guessed that the matter was not as simple as he said, because no one took the lead, it was really difficult to resist, and they all knelt on the ground, expressing their willingness to accept the hiring of the county general, and went to the county to enter the naturalization register, and the monk Zhenghong and Murono Heizo also came forward to ask not to kill again.

Seeing that the displaced people were shocked, Gao Shisheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "I'm tired of the scribes to take people down and divide the soldiers." ”

Until noon, the three hundred and thirty-one 'apprentices' in this humble pass were assigned to their respective generals, and under the coercion of Ashigaru, they barely stood in line in the center of the school field.

Gao Shisheng stood on the podium and looked at this team of Sanhe athletes, and they all looked back with cowardly eyes, waiting for the next instructions, to make these people obedient, it is not possible to kill only twelve Sanhe monkeys.

When I just clicked it, anyone who was disrespectful, did not listen to orders, and even hid a short knife and refused to hand it in, was dragged out by Aoki Daizen and his soldiers and executed in public.

The only thing to be thankful for is probably that the fools who dare to resist are only a few after all, or the long-term military rebellion has given the displaced people an unexpected patience, at least it is still under control for now.

Gao Shisheng took the roster, began to roll call one by one, and began to distribute money, food, and clothing according to the previous promise, although the food was some old miscellaneous grains, and not everyone could receive shabby clothes to keep out the cold, but he still tried his best to give two hundred yuan to each 'apprentice' who knelt down in front of him and stretched out his hand to beg for reward, while showing a kind smile.

But looking up at the string of bloody human heads hanging on the banner of 'Nan Wu Amitabha Buddha' behind him, it only made people feel fear from the bottom of their hearts, not only the displaced people, but also the people around him were more respectful.

The blood dripping from the human head stained the entire white flag with bloodstains, which made people feel both sad and ridiculous, but it was the most common scene in the armies of the daimyos.

Human life is like grass, it is the reality of this troubled era of the Warring States, even if Gao Shisheng performed warmly and affectionately before, when he finally needs to show his minions, he is still more able to choose people to eat.

Perhaps everyone from the shogun to the common people believed that relying entirely on brutality was the only way to maintain their rule and maintain their majesty, and the saddest thing was that Gao Shisheng himself began to believe that this was indeed the only way to survive.

The apprentices who had changed into winter clothes, with the help of their respective group leaders, collected the money and food in a unified manner, and then the head of Murono Heizo and the master of Zhenghong Temple loaded the ox cart with the servants and monks, and returned them to the relatives of Misawa Juri after being pulled.

During the period when he was out of the battle, the affairs of the township were all discussed by Hasegawa Mototada, the head of the Zhenghong Temple, and Murono Hei, and the main problem was to guard against the displaced people, because of the need to restrain the generals, the Pingshan Party generals who were privately appointed by Gao Shisheng had to go out with them.

In the past, the imperial court selected young and brave athletes, and every three soldiers in the county were expected to take one ding, and five people were in the team; Wu 2 is the fire, and the fire 5 is the team; The second team is a brigade, and the tenth brigade is a regiment, each with a general leader. One fire and six horses, those who are good at riding and archery are especially cavalry teams, all of whom are appointed to guard the inspection points, garrison Kyoto, and send according to the thin, and every expedition is made, so that the countries along the road must be surveyed.

Whoever marches to recruit 10,000 people, there are generals, there are assistants to the generals, and there are soldiers and records, so as to have an overview of the three armies.

At that time, the imperial court officials and troops had a strict organization of military generals, and along the way, there were also national divisions who ordered the state to help maintain supplies. But after Zhenguan Yanxi, Baidu was abolished, isolated from top to bottom, and the wealthy people of Ouyu Kanto were compared to the military merits to the six guards, sitting on the country song, and not diligent guards.

The military system also began to subvert and reverse, replaced by the simpler composition of the standing station, the fan team, and the military group under the Xiangqu system, and the military force composed of 1,000 people was constantly reduced, and by the Warring States Period, most of them were less than 700 people, and the horseback was even less pitiful from the fixed weaving of the 200 cavalry team, which directly became unknown, and the million-stone daimyo could still maintain a small team of horses, and the small daimyo and the Hao clan army may not even be able to transport grain and grass, and the pack horses for the first battle may not be able to get together.

The most lethal is the source of soldiers, which began to be organized according to the township party, which strengthened cohesion and morale, and at the same time, it also made the soldiers' rebellions more frequent, and the daimyo changed from directly controlling the soldiers to encircling the middle and lower generals to ensure the loyalty of the entire army.

The problem that Gao Shisheng is facing now happens to be that the above three disadvantages are both, not so much to lead troops to the county to join the army, but to say that he is pressing the prisoners who have just been 'taken' and wants to rush to Saku City to sell.

In order to prevent the strong men from resisting and escaping, the 'apprentices' of each team of ten people were tied to their hands by ropes, and they were connected to each other, and under the strict supervision of the soldiers and the head of the group, they each carried the rations and belts, and went along the street in the direction of Saku Castle.

The ox carts and pack horses that were supposed to be loaded with their own military rations were loaded with some armor weapons, which were said to be armor but in fact there was no curly belly, only rusty long knives and knives in the Zhuang Sho's military hide, and bundles of bamboo guns that did not even have a gun head, and even cut down the bamboo forest in the backyard of the Zhuangsu.

The rest of the vacant seats were also tightly stuffed with medicines, kelp dried vegetables, dry firewood, and tents. When he went out in winter, the things he brought were far more cumbersome than those of the other three seasons, and Gao Shisheng tried his best to improve it, so as not to let his subordinates die of cold and starvation.

Because it was an expedition, Gao Shisheng did not ride on an ox cart like he did last time, riding on a temporarily borrowed pony like he did last time, riding on a temporarily borrowed pony, and walking in the middle of the procession.

Because of the imitation of the Tang system, where the imperial court and county conscripted troops and used force, they must first review the parade. One is the 'Rokue Subu' held in Kyoto, and the other is the 'Tsukiyu' held in the local gun. King Toba now made talismans, forbade the samurai of the prefectures to belong to the Genpei two clan, divided the military power to the martial arts, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were abolished, and the review of Kyoto and the county was abolished.

Gao Shisheng considered that the composition of the displaced people was complex, and they were neither 'warriors and warriors' nor the Xiangqulang party, and at the same time, he asked Hamana Nobumitsu to take the samurai who served as soldiers, and kept training and teaching Ashigaru and Ding Zhuang all the way, informing them of the matters that need to be paid attention to on the battlefield.

These samurai have been in battle many times, and they have fought with real swords and guns, especially several old samurai who participated in the Battle of Shodozaka and fought in the Battle of Xichuan, rolling in the pile of dead people until now, I dare not say that they have experienced a hundred battles, but at least they have their own set of practical life-saving tricks.

No pop-ups
