different warring states of japan

Chapter 384
After reading it, Nobunaga shook his head in disappointment and said.

"It's too cumbersome to give ashigaru a salary and take care of their family affairs.

What's the use of ashigaru who died in battle, why bother with their family members.

If you ask me, I don't care at all.

In addition, a new military position is set up, named ashigaruto.

It is justified to devolve Ji warriors as ashigaru, one head per ten, and allow ashigaru to be promoted to ashigaru with military merits. "

Oda Nobunaga's words made Maeda Toshiie look sideways.

Shiba Yoshigin's giving of Ashgaru's salary was enough to shock the samurai group, but Nobunaga was even more ruthless, and simply tore open the military promotion channel.

A small team of ten ashigaru was originally equipped with one or two warriors to command.

Fixing this position allows both Hime Takeshi and Ashigaru to serve, which will blur the boundaries between Ashigaru and grassroots Hime Takeshi and confuse the distinction between the two classes.

Oda Nobunaga is daring, this idea is too radical.

The result of the ashigaru samurai transformation is that the interests of the low-level Ji samurai are seriously violated, but the military power of the lord will become stronger.

Warrior Ji is proficient in martial arts, but the organized ashigaru three or five people are not weak, because there is no hope to live in chaos, no heart and no way forward.

As long as the ashigaru has a position and a progressive position, it will explode with great power.

Japan has sixty-six countries, [-] million stones, and a population of [-] million.There are only hundreds of thousands of warriors, far less than civilians.

If Oda Nobunaga really turned into an ashigaru samurai in the off-duty standing army, then the Oda family's military strength would grow rapidly.

Owari is rich and comfortable, and the fighting strength of the Ji Warriors is not well-known among the sixty-six countries.

But Owari is a big grain-producing country, and there is enough grain for Oda Nobunaga to toss. If he wins the entire Nobi Plain, it will be more advantageous.

Nobunaga calculated the pros and cons of Shiba Ashgari's method in her heart, and she was very excited. She seemed to see a road to a strong army.

But Maeda Toshiie watched coldly, but he was not optimistic.

Nobunaga's approach will offend the entire samurai class, especially the shogunate and guardian daimyo who maintain the guardian system.

Even if she can use the large amount of profits gained from expansion to buy off the warriors under her command, but there is no end to expansion, but there is no end to greed.

After reaching the limit of expansion, how to distribute the benefits?
The samurai group whose privileges have been severely corroded and endured to the limit will inevitably explode, and internal conflicts will blow her to pieces and ruin the great cause of the Oda family.

She shook her head, what are you doing.

Maeda Toshiie never thought of betraying Yoshigin-kun, and the surrender that Oda Nobunaga saw was just her trick to hide the truth.

With the prosperity of the Shiba family in recent days, maintaining the existence of Owari Shiba has become a political investment of Oda Nobunaga.

At the beginning, Maeda Toshiie did not accept Oda Nobunaga's solicitation because Owari Shiba's foundation was not enough, and she needed to sit in it.

Now that the territory is stable, if it wants to develop, it must get the support of Oda Nobunaga.

After Maeda Toshihisa left, Maeda Toshiie dominated Owari Shiba and won her allegiance. Oda Nobunaga will have a chess piece that penetrates into the Shiba family.

The power of Owari Shiba can also be used to check and balance the increasingly large retainer group of the Oda family.

This is beneficial to Oda Nobunaga, she will definitely accept it, but the problem is how to win her trust.

In order to be used again by Oda Nobunaga, Maeda Toshiie must find something and gain her trust.

It will not really infringe Shibo Yoshiyin's interests, and he hates it as a betrayal.

Shiba Ashigaru was the right thing she thought of.

Oda Nobunaga didn't know that Shiba Ashgaru's testament was actually just a kind thought of Yoshigin, pity on Ashgaru's momentary mercy.

At the beginning, Yiyin wanted to give Ashari a salary, but it cost five stones a year!
Now there are only two stones left, because he didn't participate in the affairs of formulating laws and regulations at all.

The specific laws and regulations were established by Maeda Yoshihisa, and the two sisters Maeda Toshihisa and Maeda Toshiie perfected the current rules.

Shiba Yoshiyin would not feel angry when he leaked this testimonial to Oda Nobunaga, it was just his benevolence at the time.

Judging from the nationalization of the Shiba Territory in recent years, Shiba Yoshigin is still following the traditional road of protecting the daimyo, and has not activated the ashigaru samurai.

Maeda Toshiie was sure that her Yoshigin-kun didn't care about this Ashgaru testimonial.

However, this method deviates from the scriptures, but it can arouse the great interest of Oda Nobunaga.

Shiba Ashigaru's emphasis on family members, pensions, and Oda Nobunaga's emphasis on encouragement and combat power are completely different.

Maeda Toshiie is confident that even if this matter is leaked, Shiba's retainers may be dissatisfied with her actions.

That's also because this law has seriously violated the interests of traditional martial arts, and the concubines who guard the daimyo will naturally feel disgusted.

As for Shiba Yoshigin himself, this small offense is not worth mentioning in the face of the huge benefits of expanding Owari Shiba's territory.

He has never read the testimonials himself, so there is nothing to be particularly angry about.

The key to everything is whether selling this Shiba ashigaru can become the leader of Owari Shiba and improve her Maeda Toshiie's status in Shiba's family.

All power comes from strength, and only with strength can she persuade the samurai under her command to support her adventure, compete for the marriage of the Shiba family, and obtain greater benefits.

Now it seems that she has won the trust of Oda Nobunaga and has successfully taken the first step.

This self-willed Highness will give her a little chance as a reward for betraying her lord, which is also her bad taste all along.

Driving a nail into the interior of the Shiba family can also cultivate a force independent of the retainers.

For Oda Nobunaga, it is worth giving some opportunity for Maeda Toshiie to go to the public.

In the final analysis, it is to let her be a dog, and she has to bring her own dry food, and use the strength of the Shiba family to serve the Oda family.

If Maeda Toshiie had made outstanding military exploits and acquired a large number of territories, it would only be in the name of Shiba's family.

Once her betrayal is revealed, Maeda Toshiie can only stay at Oda's house to receive asylum in the face of Shiba Yoshiyin's anger.

Could it be that she will hand over the Owari Shiba collar she made by herself, obediently wait for Shiba Yoshigin to deal with him, and lose everything she has worked so hard to obtain?
Would she be willing, would the retainers who followed her to conquer such a huge territory be willing?
The samurai family value profit over righteousness, there is not enough reason, even if Maeda Toshiie is stupid, the samurai family under his command will force her to calm down.

Of course, the premise is that Maeda Toshiie is indeed talented.

If she is unlucky, or lacks military strategy, and loses the battle and dies, then there is nothing to talk about.

Oda Nobunaga looked at Maeda Toshiie, the more he looked at him, the more pleasing he was.

Maeda Toshiie bowed his head respectfully, becoming more humble and obedient.

The two have different thoughts, but the scene is very harmonious.

After a long time, Oda Nobunaga said.

"Inuchiyo, you are fine, don't let me down, I will give you a chance.

I said that if you do things for me, the future of the million stone daimyo can be expected, and this promise is still valid today. "

Maeda Toshiie kowtowed to the ground and remained silent.

Oda Nobunaga thought she was guilty of his betrayal of Shiba Yoshihiro, so he opened his mouth shamelessly, and couldn't help laughing.

She likes to force others to obey herself, this kind of pleasure of conquest is suffocating, better than sex.

Maeda Toshiie bowed her head and looked down, in a hidden corner she couldn't see, there was a power in her eyes.

After doing this, you can only persevere to the end and move forward with the goal of being married.

Either become an important force that cannot be ignored by the Shiba family, or die in battle. She will never allow herself to live a mediocre life.

Lord Yiyin, please grant me strength, and may my martial luck prosper.

"Inuchiyo, the territory's military and food service is being sent to Inuyama Castle. You go to Shibata Katsuie and discuss the formation of the Oda Shiba Allied Forces."

"Hi!"

The existence of the Owari Shiba Territory as an external domain is very strange. It is economically subordinate to the Oda family's territory and has to pay military food and service, but politically it is subordinate to the Shiba family and independent of the Oda family.

Oda Nobunaga put her under Shibata Katsuie's command and included in the East Mino Raiders.

Maeda Toshiie knew in his heart that no matter how sincerely she showed her dedication, Oda Nobunaga would not let her participate in the Nishi Mino Raiders.

It is too close to the Shiba Territory, Maeda Toshiie can gain military merits in the Oda family's conquest and reward the territory, but it is limited to Dongmino.

Oda Nobunaga is a madman, but he is a calm and rational madman. She looks crazy, but she is actually very rational and only seeks profit.

She never really trusted anyone else, only herself.
