different warring states of japan

Chapter 12 Seeking a Teacher
Most of the guardian's mansion was abandoned, and the rest was cleaned up with several servants under the leadership of Yang Nai Xue Nai.

It was much smaller, with fences and walls built, and several people took turns to watch the night.

There is a lot of food in the family, and I am afraid of thieves and even more afraid of robbers. There is no problem in a short time, but after a long time, I still need to recruit some standing light feet.

The main force of the army in the Warring States Period was Ji Wushi. They were knowledgeable, well-paid, and fearless of death. Their profession was to kill, and they were the backbone.

The farmers and soldiers in the samurai village are light enough to produce daily, and they can be pulled out to fight in the off-season.

Self-raised equipment, just take care of meals, free cannon fodder.Morale is low, just able to wave the flag.Fortunately, the number is large enough, and the momentum is strong enough to win the battle.

There are also some women who have too many children in every household. The family can't support them, and the food is not enough to eat. They are recruited by the samurai family to become standing ashigaru.

Ten ashigaru need to eat two stones of food a month, double the battle, and get more than thirty stones in a year. They also need to provide weapons and equipment, and the lord can't afford too much.

No more than 30 people can be mobilized for a thousand stone territory, after all, the lord is also poor.

However, the fighting power is stronger than that of peasants and soldiers, and they can still guard the house at ordinary times.Originally, Si Bo's family also raised some, but they all died a few days ago.

In addition, some wild samurai whose masters died, ronin of unknown origin, and even bandit groups were hired to fight, and they recognized money but not people.

There is combat power, but most of them steal and play tricks, and they are unreliable in war.

Given the current conditions of Siba's family, Yiyin decided to recruit [-] standing light feet in the village first, for daily off-the-job training, and to look after the home.

It costs sixty shi of grain a year, and the necessary weapons and equipment have to be bought in the castle town.

Yiyin did the math, one hundred shi was exchanged for fifty guan, excluding Yang Naixuenai's salary of 20 guan, there were still [-] guan left, and the other two women still had sixty guan of food.

The rations of the twenty Qingzus are sixty shi, the imperial loan and the array hats worn by Qingzu, and the bamboo spears used as weapons must be bought at least one person at a time, so that is one hundred shi.

Fortunately, these light-footed equipment belong to the owner, and they can be used for a long time if they are well maintained.

In this way, two hundred and sixty stones were spent, leaving twenty coins.

This day has not yet begun, and the seven hundred shi was spent for less than half, and it will cost even more in the war, and some food must be saved to prevent famine, so I don’t panic if I have food at home.

He didn't dare to make any more moves, so let's maintain it for the time being.

In addition to recruiting soldiers, you also need to spend money to find a teacher.Xue Nai needs to learn swords, and Yi Yin also needs to learn something about battle formation.

Unlike the swords and swords we usually use, we rely on big guns, bows, arrows, and iron cannons to go into battle. Swords and swords are of little use on the battlefield.

Moreover, fighting is not just talking about wars on paper. What you really need is obtained with the blood of generations of warriors. You must find a good teacher with a family background, and it is good to spend more money.

Who is this teacher looking for?A graceful figure appeared in Yoshihiro's mind, Maeda Toshiie. . .

Maeda Toshiie is the fourth daughter of Maeda Toshisho, the lord of Huangzi City.Lichang is the Yori of Lin Xiuzhen, the important official of the Oda family, that is, the subordinate samurai. There are six daughters in this generation.

The world is short of supplies, and the Wu family will worry if there are too many daughters.Maeda Toshiie was sent to Oda Nobunaga's office since he was a child, serving Nobunaga as a minor surname, and now serves as the leader of the direct-controlled army under Nobunaga's subordinates.

The reason why I think of her is that she is very skilled in martial arts, and she is a famous Ji warrior nearby.

Secondly, she is very poor. Maeda Lichang has many daughters and was sent out early, and her salary is not much. She should be willing to earn more money and food.

Thirdly, she is an upright samurai. Regarding the matter between Oda Nobunaga and Yoshiyin, she feels guilty about Yoshiyin and will not hide her secrets.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good teacher, so Yiyin set off early the next morning to Qingzhou City to find her.

The layout of the city is clear, the most important is Nobunaga's castle tower, and then there is the area of ​​the inner city's important ministers surrounding the tower.

Her status is not high, but her position is very important, she is eligible to participate in the review, and she is considered a low-ranking warrior.

There were a lot of things to do at home, and Yi Yin didn't bring Yang Nai Xue Nao with him. He wore plain clothes, wrapped his head to cover the short hair after being cut, and walked on the alleys in the city dressed like a Ji warrior walking around the streets.

After asking for directions several times on the way, I found Maeda Toshie's residence.Before he reached the door, a few ripe persimmons suddenly fell from the persimmon tree beside him, leaving a mass of red marks on his chest.

"Sorry, sorry, I was eating a persimmon on a tree and accidentally dropped it."

A beautiful woman jumped down from the tree, her hair was tied into a ponytail casually behind her.

He was wearing a strange bright red bathrobe with a straw rope tied around his waist. The clothes didn't fit well, and the weight on his chest protruded half of his flesh when he jumped down the tree.

Looking seventeen or eighteen years old, with a frivolous smile on his face, he stretched out his hand to touch Yiyin's chest.

"Come on, let me wipe it for you."

Yiyin patted her salty pig's hand away, speechless.How could a persimmon that fell from a tree by accident fly five steps sideways, this woman clearly saw his gender and took the opportunity to moles him.

"No, it's just a little color, I'll just go back and fix it myself."

Unable to figure out where the woman came from, Yiyin cautiously chose to avoid it.

"Oh, what a shame, it's all my fault, or I'll buy you a drink as an apology."

The woman shook the hand that was slapped away by Yiyin indifferently, and stretched out her arms to hug Yiyin.

Yiyin narrowed his eyes and held the handle of the knife with his right hand.

"Oh, Xiao Lang is quite fierce."

The woman withdrew her hand and said with a grimace.

"Knowing that I'm a man and still being so frivolous, is that the way warrior Ji of Qingzhou behaves?"

The noise at the door woke up Toshiie Maeda at home. She had just returned home to catch up on sleep after keeping watch for Nobunaga last night. The noise at the door woke her up, and she opened the door angrily.

"Li Yi, what are you doing! If you keep disturbing me to sleep, go back to Huangzi City!"

After roaring at the woman, she was surprised to see Yiyin.

"Yiyin-jun, why are you here?"

"Good afternoon, Li Jiaji."

Yiyin bowed to the Li family.

"Please come in and talk, you bastard, what strange things have you done, right? Go back to Huangzi City tomorrow!"

The woman called Lijia scolded Lijia and shrugged indifferently.

"Huangzi City is not as fun as Qingzhou City. Xiao Lang looks like a generous person, and he won't care about a scoundrel like me. It's okay, Fourth Aunt."

Li Jia looked at her helplessly and had no choice.This is her elder sister's adopted daughter, she is about the same age as her, she is loyal and upright, but her interests are so lively that she doesn't look like a warrior Ji.

He likes the lively Qingzhou City, but has no interest in Huangzi City, the family territory.Lai stays at Li's house for more than half a year, and he can't be driven away.

"Bold! Do you know the identity of an adult!"

"Of course I know, I know all the prettier Xiaolang in the city, and this is the first time I've seen such a handsome one.

As soon as I saw him cut off his hair, I knew it was Yoshigin Shiba who was pimped by the fourth aunt to sleep with His Highness Oda. "
