A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

"Uncle, immediately rectify the ashigaru in Ejiri Castle and the iron cannons under my command, and march to Futamata Castle. We will set off tonight and be sure to arrive tomorrow morning."

"Aki, take my name tag and throw it away to Futama Castle. Give my petition to Iwase and his son, and order them to immediately mobilize all the troops in Futama Castle and join my uncle tomorrow morning to attack Takaten Jin Castle and control Oigawa." Xiaoping. Tai Shua wrote a letter and gave it to Aji, asking him to deliver it to Iwase Tojiro Motomasa quickly.

"Yarasuke, as the chief of the Ejiri people, this time it will be difficult for you. I will do my best to mobilize the Ejiri people." Matsushita had a troubled look on his face after hearing this. The Ejiri people had just lost a lot of money. Hundreds of people, now it is necessary to mobilize all the people, or to use all the resources to fish, which is very difficult.

"Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you." Xiao Pingtai asked Chen San to go and call Pingliu from the city immediately.

"Heiroku, how much money is left in the Ejiri Town Office?" "More than three thousand Kanchi have not yet been delivered to Yamauchi." Heiroku immediately gave a rough number.

This number is not much different from what Koheita expected, even though Koheita did not actually intervene in the specific affairs of the town office. But Heiroku can always know the actual situation of Ejiri Town, and the general taxation can always be understood.

"Open the treasury immediately. Anyone who comes to Ejiri to serve will be given 200 yuan as departure money." "This? This money is this year's town fee and cannot be used." After hearing this, Heiroku was panicked. Shocking, using public funds for personal use is a serious crime.

"The blame lies with me and has nothing to do with you! Yale, please help me with everything." Matsushita Shinichi saw that Xiaopingta had already taken such a big risk, and if he didn't agree, he would be shameless. So it was not difficult to do it. He immediately agreed to Xiao Pingtai's request, turned around and left the hall, and turned around to mobilize the Ejiri people in the Tuo Temple City.

"Zaemon-sama, as far as I'm concerned, I'm just the castle representative of Ejiri, and I'm in charge of the military and civilian affairs of Ejiri. And you are His Highness's Hatamoto Ashigaru, and I can't mobilize your six hundred Hatamoto Ashigaru. But I ask you to lead the troops to the border of Ejiri tomorrow to stop the Yuanjiang and Suruga people who are rushing back." Xiaoping Tai lowered his body and put his head on the ground.

Konishiharazaemon looked at Koheita. This Heita, who was only a small and powerful man with dozens of kanmon during the Tenryukawa War, has now reached the status of Ejiri Castle. Although the two had some personal acquaintance, their relationship was not bad, and he even let Xiaopingta let his distant relatives through the back door.

Koheita's head was lowered to the ground. Konishiharazaemon could not see the expression on Koheita's face at this time. But he could more or less guess how solemn Xiao Pingtai's face was, and how much courage this decision required.

At this moment, Konishiharazaemon's understanding was also refreshed. He suddenly felt that Koheta was no longer the young man he was familiar with and appointed. I have never seen such strength and determination before.

"Okay, it all depends on Danmasa's orders!" Konishiharazaemon stood up, hurriedly went down to the camp, reorganized his base, and went to the Ashura. Hundreds of people went to stop the defeated troops who may have been in the thousands who were eager to return home. , the task is arduous.

All these people were dispatched, leaving only Imagawa Yoshichichi, who was still sitting stunned at the table. He was still immersed in the words that he was already the son of Imagawa Yoshimoto. This news frightened this young man who had never experienced any storms.

"Young master, you have been unknown all your life, and finally became a monk, the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng. Should you risk your life, join their family, earn a foundation, and leave behind children and grandchildren?" Xiao Pingtai looked at this childish man who was just sixteen years old. Young samurai.

"Samasa-sama taught me today, Saburo Goro will never forget it!" Imagawa Yoshichichi took three steps back and bowed respectfully to Koheita. It seemed as if they were as quiet and peaceful as when they first met three or four years ago.

The next day, Konishiharazaemon set out with hundreds of recovered bannermen soldiers, while Koheita rushed to Sotoji Castle with Imagawa Yoshichichi in his arms, urging Matsushita to mobilize the Ejiri people.

It wasn't that Xiaoping was too afraid that he would go against his will, but it was the first time he made such a big decision, and he really couldn't settle down. Find something to do for yourself so that the anxiety in your heart can be covered up.

Uncle Tsunaya also led the Ejiri garrison that had been ready to go after dawn (it failed last night), and cooperated with Iwase and his son to go to Gaotian Castle. As long as they controlled Gaotian Castle, it would be equivalent to taking over Imagawa in Kakegawa Castle. The Fang forces are completely shut down in Yuanjiang, and Kakegawa will lose all foreign aid.

Of course, Takaten Jinjo Castle is a well-known strong castle on the sea route. It is built on the 350-meter-high Mount Ogasana. In addition to the Honmaru, there are also Tonomaru and Nishinomaru. The lord of the castle, Motobu Okabe, was still in Owari at this time, the castle was owned by the Ogasawara clan, and the number of castle soldiers would not exceed fifty. However, if the surprise attack fails, then the Makino Castle soldiers from the nearby Makino Terrace and the people from Haruna County near Sakon will enter the city to defend the city. The number of troops will exceed 500, and it will be almost impossible to fall by force.

Koheita could only hope that Uncle Tsunaliang would succeed, while urging Matsushita to mobilize troops as soon as possible.

At the same time, more and more news about the Battle of Okehazama became clearer and clearer. Imagawa Yoshimoto's army and Gozhe suffered a devastating blow. More than 3,000 soldiers were killed on the spot by the Oda army alone. members, not counting those who did not have their heads cut off and those who were attacked and killed by local people.

In addition, the Suruga Imagawa Samurai Corps, including Imagawa Yoshimoto's uncle Kamahara Umasa, nephew Kuno Gentada, and sister-in-law Masatoshi Asai, were arrested in the rebellion and later executed. Yamaguchi Zomasuke Yoshitsugu, Anhara Mimasaku Morimoto Masaru, Yoshida Musashi Morihiyoshi, Katsurayama Harima Mori Choyoshi, Ekiminbe Shaosuke Chichi, Ito Inaba Mori Mamoru, Okabe Kai Mori Nagasada, Tōeda Iga Moriji. Qiu, Asahina's chief planner Jie Xiuquan and three other generations, old, middle and young, almost half of the backbone warriors were killed on the battlefield.

It can be said that Suruga's samurai group suffered the most horrific loss since its creation, and the entire dominance system of Suruga's people completely collapsed. Even though there is still enough money and food in Sunfu Castle to recruit soldiers, most of the officers have been killed in the battle. And an army without officers? That cannot be called an army.

Moreover, cultivating a samurai is not just about pulling an ashigaru, but requires essential survival skills such as lance, tachi, bow and arrow, and equestrianism. You also need to learn basic numerical calculations and document reading, but there is no systematic education. The rural schools that are passed down from father to son or set up by the lord in the territory are all elite.

The samurai Suruga and Imagawa had saved up with great effort over the years, but now they were all in ruins.

In addition, the two most important castle lords of Toe, Asahina Taitomo and Okabe Motonobu, are not in the city. Imagawa Yoshimoto's Toe Kunizu Chief Matsui Munanobu died two years ago. The entire Imagawa side is temporarily leaderless in Toe. state.

Xiaopingtai is playing with this time difference, hoping to win quickly!
