Chapter 717 Nobunaga's Centralization

The Oda family has expanded too fast, and the retainer group has not yet formed a stable interest group. Now is the most favorable time to start restructuring.

When the retainer group is finished, even Oda Nobunaga will find it difficult to resist the will of the entire retainer group.

If Oda Nobunaga wants to concentrate his power to do big things, he must grab the power into his own hands before the retainers recover.

Among her orders, Leshi Lezuo seemed to harm the interests of the local martial arts, but in fact it was the one with the least opposition.

The samurai family valued the land most, set up a card to pay taxes, and plucked the caravan too much, just adding a piece of dried radish to the rice bowl.It's good to have it, and you can live without it, so you won't jump up and rebel.

What really touched the fundamental interests of the samurai was Oda Nobunaga's creation of the concept of pawn clan, which raised the class status of the ashigaru.

Before, Oda Nobunaga proposed to give ashigaru a job, create the position of ashigaru head, and give them a way to rise.

Although the samurai are not happy, even the low-level Ji samurai has to serve as the head of the ashigaru, juxtaposed with the ashigaru.But the ascending channel is only a small opening, and it cannot shake the foundation of Wu family's status.

But now, Oda Nobunaga requests that the standing ashigaru be registered in the register, pointing out that the ashigaru is already a military class higher than civilians.

Even though this class is lower than the samurai class, it is still a special armed group.

The Wu family The Wu family is a group that relies on force to rule the world.Now that Ashigaru also has his own special group, will it have an impact on the rule of the samurai group in the future?

In addition, the policy of gathering retainers is to dig the foundation of the Wu family's enfeoffment.Ji Wushi accepted the Andu policy to know where to go, which is the division of land and power under the name of his family.

Japan is barren, and many low-level Ji samurai still have to participate in labor.There are only two kinds of warriors who can separate farmers from soldiers and get rid of farming.

First, high-level warriors who do not participate in labor.Second, the elite full-time combat warrior Ji.

Once the vassal collection is successful, as long as Oda Nobunaga can control the resident Ji samurai in the Gifu castle town, it is tantamount to controlling the Oda family's vassal group and main military force.

The high-ranking samurai left the place and became an official dispatched by the governor of the family.The elite Ji warriors gathered in the city and pledged their allegiance to the lord.

Even if they go to war, most people's family members cannot escape the control of the lord.Relatives who can leave the collective residence can only be the privilege of a few high-ranking warriors.

The cornerstone of the retainer group's rights was dug away, and the power of the lord would no longer be constrained. This was a blatant conspiracy.

The Ximino samurai who were beaten just now had nothing to say, the Dongmino samurai who were about to be slaughtered in the spring did not dare to speak, and the samurai from Kamiowari's four prefectures joined too late and were not qualified to speak.

Oda Nobunaga's cronies headed by Niwa Nagahide were unwilling to speak, and it was inconvenient for Shibata Katsuya's retainers, who were going to grab the land after spring plowing, to speak.

In the end, it was Lin Xiuzhen who couldn't bear to stand out and bow, and said something.

"Your Highness, is it too hasty?"

Somebody took the lead, the room suddenly buzzed, and the retainers hid in the crowd to echo her, but no one dared to come out and stand by her side.

Oda Nobunaga looked at the Oda family elder and felt murderous in his heart, but it was not the time yet.

She said.

"The permanent ashigaru will be kept in a separate book, and the retainers will live together, all for the victory of the battle!

For the sake of the Oda family, and also for your families to have fewer deaths, and to get more land, population, and fame.

The combination of the two strategies is the separation of farmers and soldiers.

My family can send troops during spring plowing, summer harvest, and autumn harvest. Just imagine, who else is my Oda family's opponent? "

Of course, Oda Nobunaga can't say that this is to strengthen his own power and let the retainer group become her subordinates, so that he has no power to check and balance her.

Therefore, the reform of the military system must be good governance for the expansion of the Oda family, so that all the officials of the Oda family can share the fruits of victory.

Oda Nobunaga is a good lord, a loving mother of Oda's retainers!
Moreover, her reasons are not without reason.

Warriors fight to avoid plowing in winter and spring, and harvesting in summer and autumn, just to ensure food.The samurai family is too poor to afford a high-intensity long-term war.

If there are enough full-time Ji samurai and ashigaru, they will be specially selected to mobilize during the busy farming season.Even if you can't defeat the enemy, just repeated mobilization and confrontation can consume and starve the enemy to death.

Mino-Owari is a big grain-producing country. The samurai Ashigaru may not be brave, but there must be a lot of food. It is really confident to raise a group of soldiers who are free from production.

Oda Nobunaga gathered his retainers under the castle, and the Ashigaru clan made a book, which was linked to the mobilization of the war. No one could fault it.

The most important thing for warriors to go out is to win, and victory is everything.

Oda Nobunaga took this as an entry point, and the retainer group was powerless to resist under the internal chaos, so they could only follow her baton and walk first.

Lin Xiuzhen was speechless, and retreated embarrassingly.

Oda Nobunaga looked around and saw that although the samurai were upset, they reluctantly accepted her statement, and they were determined.

As long as you get through the most difficult step, the Oda family will no longer be the Oda family of the retainers, but will truly become the Oda family of Oda Nobunaga.

She alone in power can turn the Oda retainers into pawns and instruct Ji Wushi ashigaru to form a legion at will.

It expanded in all directions like a snowball until it swallowed the whole of Japan.Using her Oda Nobunaga's unique full-time army, she conquered sixty-six countries in the world by force.

This is the world's martial arts!

While integrating Owari Mino's interior, Oda Nobunaga stretched out his tentacles to test Kita Ise.

Ise Country is the western end of Tokaido. To the west of the country are the Suzuka Mountains and Nunobiki Mountains, and to the east is a large plain, Ise Bay.

Across the mountains, from north to south, it is separated from the South Omi, Iga, and Yamato Three Kingdoms.

The Kanto and Kansai in the geographical sense are divided by three passes.Aisa Pass in Echizen in the north, Fubu Pass in Mino in the central part, and Suzuka Pass in Ise in the south.

Suzuka Pass is located in the Suzuka Mountains, connecting Minami Omi, Iga, and Kita Ise.

Ise country, especially North Ise, is a strategic location leading to the south-central region.Oda Nobunaga's move to send troops to Kita Ise is a threat to Minami Omi and Iga.

At this time, Iga Ueno Castle.

This military city, which Maeda benefits placed high hopes on, is still under construction.But she has come to be stationed, supervising the building of the city.She has been in a good mood recently, because Akechi Mitsuhide took the initiative to back down.

Maeda's interests demanded the construction of Iga Ueno Castle, the hoarding of military supplies, and the strengthening of Iga's domestic mobilization.

Akechi Mitsuhide sent people to mobilize a large amount of material and manpower to support and expressed his support.Although she kept silent about the military service account, Maeda's interests were not in a hurry.

It is no problem to build a military city and increase the war mobilization force of the recent Sibo territory.However, whether the military service account falls within the purview of Maeda's interests is a matter of debate between the two sides.

Shengjiu, the Nizi of Peking University, does not deny this, neither supports nor opposes it, as long as the two of you don't quarrel, I will pretend that I didn't see it.

Maeda Yoshiki thought about going step by step, building the city first, and then talking about other things, but she was thinking about another thing now.

she said to her mother.

"The news from the north has arrived. There is a riot in Guanyin Temple City. Rokkaku Yoshiken and Yoshiharu's mother and daughter have fled to Hino Castle in Gamo's house."

Maeda Riku frowned.

"You must intervene in the matter of Nan Omi? When Mr. Kenshin left, the task given to you was to suppress the Liujiao family.

Now you want to help Liujia mother and daughter, is it appropriate?Can Nizi Katsuhisa and Akechi Mitsuhide understand your thoughts? "
