Chapter 554 The Military System of Yiyin

Honjo Fanzhang recruited Yutai people for the Guandong Servant, and has gathered a large number of Ji warriors among the Yangbei congregation, including members of the young and strong faction who made friends with her.

She sent a list of [-] Otai people to the imperial hall, and Yoshihiro Shiba attached great importance to it, and wanted to go back to Tochio Castle to meet these Hime samurai in person.

Now, the most important thing for Terutora Uesugi and Yoshigin Shiba is to complete the integration of Echigo.

It is necessary to twist the Echigo samurai into a rope, and smoothly put the Echigo army into the Kanto Raiders.

Teruho Uesugi used internal affairs to make concessions, including reducing taxes to four publics and six citizens, expanding the scope of green hemp planting, and rationing sea salt at low prices in the country.

Shibo Yoshigin spent money on the Echigo samurai family through commercial value-added, through profit-sharing business tax, providing low-priced goods, and increasing purchase prices.

And the key point of the two people's bribery is Yang Beizhong.

The Yangbei people accounted for [-]% of Echigo's army, and they were also a group of warriors who were brave and good at fighting. They must be made to be sincerely willing to contribute to the Kanto Raiders.

Terotora Uesugi's Joetsu is wealthy and has a strong mobilization force, but no matter how strong he is, there is a limit.

Because of the traditional samurai mobilization method, land population is more important than money.This is especially true in the Kanto, a self-sufficient economic environment of the traditional manor system.

The Kansai samurai can also use money to hire samurai from the villainous party to enrich the army and use it as cannon fodder.

Once the relatively poor Kanto samurai family lost their land, unlike Kansai, which has rich business routes to support a large number of villainous samurai, it is difficult for the landless Ji samurai to survive.

Therefore, mobilization in Kanto requires the cooperation of local samurai to gather enough troops.

Therefore, the Kanto Raiders of the Uesugi and Shiba families must not lack the territories of the Yangbei people who occupy [-]% of Echigo's population.

Uesugi Terutoro and her mother suppressed Yang Beizhong for two generations. The elders were tired of confrontation, and the older generation headed by Nakajo Fujiko gradually surrendered to Uesugi Terutoro.

And the young faction headed by Shigecho Honjo, who was saved by Yoshihiko Shiba after the failure of the rebellion, was also willing to bow his head through the Kanto servants and stop making trouble.

It doesn't matter what problems will arise in Yang Beizhong's transition from old to new.

At least for now, Terutora Uesugi is happy to see Shiba Yoshiyin subdue the Yangbei young men and let them support the Kanto Raiders.

Thus uniting the entire Yangbei samurai group into Echigo integration.

Yi Yin received the news of Fanchang from the village, and immediately set off for Zhongyue.

At this time, the summer harvest has just passed, and it is the turn of summer and autumn. The midsummer is not gone, and the daytime is very hot.Although it was the slack season for farming, it was not the traditional mobilization time for the samurai family.

Shiba Yoshiyin is very tight on time. He must quickly master the armed forces of the Otai people, so as to cooperate with the concentric group to establish his own Ji warrior group.

The Shiba family has only one place in Tochio Castle in Echigo, and the army of the Yangbei group is also in the hands of the older generation, and the young and strong faction joined the Kanto Service Office in their own name.

This led to the embarrassing situation in Shiba Yoshigin's military strength that only Ji Wushi had no backup.

The military system of the Kamakura shogunate was still very rough. Generally, a royal family led eight or nine members of his party to participate in the war.

But hundreds of years have passed, and the war mode of the samurai family has become more and more mature. The old style of the royal family can't beat the backup team composed of Ji Wushi and ashigaru.

That being the case, Yiyin simply established a military force composed entirely of Ji warriors for two reasons.

First, with the cooperation of Echigo's army, the Shiba family only needs to have an elite samurai group to participate in the battle, and there is no shortage of cannon fodder on the battlefield.

Both of them, behind every Warrior Ji, is an intricate group of warriors.

As the traditional guardian daimyo, Yoshihiro maintains the Ji Samurai Corps, and by rewarding these subordinates, he is winning the hearts of the Samurai Group.

In the guardian system, he does not need to be superior in military strength. What he has to do is to increase the number of friends and reduce the number of enemies.

You don't have to see blood to kill, the heart is the most powerful knife, and strong force doesn't mean everything.

Shiba Yoshiyin asked himself that he could not be as deviant as Oda Nobunaga, and could become a reforming and pioneering Sengoku daimyo.

He will only follow the wisdom of the predecessors, follow the rules to buy people's hearts, protect himself with the consensus of traditional martial arts, and help him defeat the enemy.

A few days later, Yoshigin led Yamanaka Yukimori's group and entered Tochio Castle.

At this time, Tochio Castle was the residence of the Kanto Servant.

The camp outside the city has been built. In the north of the city is the prosperous Otai people group of Honjo, and in the south of the city is the Tongxinzhong group of Shima Katsutoshi.

There are [-] people on each side, and the total is [-] Qingzhuang Ji warriors.With the existence of this elite team, the Shiba family had the confidence to speak in Echigo.

Shiba Yoshigin spoke to the two Ji warrior groups outside the city, and then launched a military review to appease the middle and high levels of the two groups.

The morale of the concubines is very high, and they are also sincerely convinced and respectful to the master.

After all, you can eat white rice with dried radish every day, and there are small dried fish to add to your dishes from time to time. Where can you find such a good master?
Regardless of whether they are Tongxinzhong or Yutai people, as long as they are in Tochio City and have enough food, Okuma Chaoxiu will not dare to lack their rations.

After inspecting the Hime Samurai regiment, Shiba Yoshigin entered the castle tower and convened the high-ranking samurai under his command to discuss matters in the meeting hall.

Sitting here are Tongxinzhong Bitou Shanzhong Xingsheng, Peking University and Tongxinzhong's leader Dao Shengmeng, Yutai people's leader Honjo Fancho, and the Guandong Servant's military depot is practicing Daxiong Chaoxiu.

After the four people died, Pu Sheng's Township, as the liaison officer of the two places, accompanied the banquet.

Yoshigin thanked Zhu Ji for her support to the Shiba family, and then everyone expressed their loyalty and exchanged polite greetings.

After finishing the polite words, Yiyin took out two stacks of papers and handed them to Honzhuang Fanchang and Dao Shengmeng.

"This is the marching command I wrote. Take some time every day to train the formation of Warrior Ji."

What is the marching password?

The two of them were a little confused, they were both warrior Ji who had learned military strategy since childhood, but they had never heard of this.They took a look and were even more confused.

Stand at attention, take a rest, and walk in unison.Look to the right, look forward.Turn right, turn left, turn back.Behind these passwords, there are precautions and decomposition actions.

But the question is, what is the use of training this?

The military system in the feudal era is not the military system after the establishment of the regular army in modern times.

The military force of the Wu family lacks the concept of discipline. They obey orders, are not afraid of death, and dare to fight and rush are elites.

Most of the people formed a spear array on the battlefield, listening to the command of warrior Ji who led the team to stab their heads.As soon as the team dispersed, they ran for their lives. It was impossible to expect them to have a sense of discipline.

The cavalry charge is not the wall charge of the modern cavalry in later generations, it is arranged in an orderly manner.

But the gap is so big that three or four people are far away, and they can wield their weapons and let the horses behind them surpass themselves.If they are too close, they will be wounded by their own weapons and the horses will be overturned.

This is the real feudal army. The bandits are like a comb, and the soldiers are like a grate. They are talking about these unorganized and undisciplined bastards.

Yiyin racked his brains, recalling the infantry formation password for military training in his previous life, using this to ask them is simply a fantasy.
