A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Two days after Uncle Tsuna Liang left, the soldiers from Ejiri came in large numbers and crowded the playground below the city.

It's not that they love Yamauchi Yoshiharu and support the rule of the Yamauchi family. Do you expect a small peasant who cannot read a word to have such a high level of consciousness? That's simply impossible and doesn't exist. If you come, you don't want to give Xiao Ping too much noodles. You just want to give 200 Yongle coins a bit of noodles.

Soldiers and citizens who were originally resentful and dissatisfied with the continuous military service and the army suddenly heard the good news that Xiaoping Tai promised that as long as the people arrived, regardless of the military type, each person would be given an initial payment of 200 yuan as a departure fee. With the mentality of coming to see the situation first, they gathered in Ejiri in twos and threes.

In addition, Matsushita Shinya knew the importance of the matter and worked very hard, constantly lobbying various countries and wealthy families. The doubtful citizens carried guns and swords. Those with armor and those without armor also tried to get themselves a formation. Or wipe the forehead. The village chiefs of Ditou also took their tenant farmers with them. Those who had horses rode horses, and those who did not have horses walked. One by one, the small streams merge into the river and the sea, and finally gather at Ejiri Castle.

By the time they arrived at Ejiri, the first batch of more than 700 people who had been gathered to join the Imagawa Yoshimoto Kamikawa Army more than ten days ago had already been sorted by their place of origin and waiting. It didn't take long for the departure fee promised by Xiao Pingtai to be moved out from the city's treasury in baskets one by one.

Money is dirty and smelly, and it takes a long time to wash off the smell on your hands after touching it a few times. But money is something that is both delicious and fragrant. The smell of money attracts everyone's attention. The basket after basket of money exudes an attractive "fragrance" and "fragrance". Everyone swallowed involuntarily, and their eyes shone brightly.

Under the watchful eye of Koheita, Ejiri's colleagues took out the military service books and began to roll the names loudly. Volume after volume, all represent the authority of Yamauchi Yoshiharu. Of course, Ejiri's military service certificate is completely confusing and no one can explain it. In order to hide their real estate and income, the wealthy Chinese people, including the farmers, secretly hid part of it. Therefore, the specific mobilization of individual soldiers often relies on the wealthy Chinese people to estimate the number themselves, and then lead the people into battle with the same accuracy.

Fortunately, Xiaoping had visited the grassroots, inspected the geography, and roughly sorted it out from village to village a few years ago, but even so, the so-called military service account of the four thousand cases in Ejiri still had a lot of errors.

Sure enough, Heiroku called them over one by one, and apart from those who died in the attacks along the way and those who died in the attack on Narumi Castle, there were still two hundred people standing there blankly. They came to accept the military service of Yamauchi Yoshiharu, but they were all nameless and there was no record of enlistment at all. Even they themselves do not exist. People who are not on the tax-paying military service register do not exist in the eyes of the daimyo.

Then this group of people were at a loss at first, and soon they started to make a loud noise, because all those who had been named on the military service certificate had actually received 200 Yongle coins and were counting them happily, but they actually had no names. Could it be that They are fighting the same war but have no money to pay?

Xiaopingtai said nothing, but finally got the trick, and these soldiers hidden under the books finally surfaced. Although the leading Chinese man felt that something was wrong, he saw the gangsters in the villages within his territory blushing and making noises about handing out money. They didn't dare to say anything. After all, there were two hundred people in the venue, and each person's spit could drown someone.

Then Xiao Pingtai pretended to be a good person and announced loudly that no matter who came to register for the military service certificate, he would get two hundred dollars immediately, and it would be distributed after registration. As soon as these words were spoken, the two hundred soldiers below cheered, swarmed in front of Heiroku, and announced their names. Maybe everyone is called Ah Da Ah Er, just like Koichiro Tokichiro, you can find ten or eight names. But Ah Da from Village A and Ah Er from Village B, plus their place of origin, can always be specific to the individual.

The people watching the show were also stimulated by the enthusiasm for giving out money. It turns out that today, for the first time in history, there is no battle, and rewards are given first, and whether it is an ashigaru or a small jinfu, they will all receive 200 Yongle gold.

Two hundred dollars is certainly nothing in the eyes of any samurai, but no one would dislike money. Although the local servants in each village have families and businesses, and they are all serving the public, they still sacrifice their dignity to queue up to get money. . If you don't take it, you won't get it. For two hundred dollars, you can eat two hundred skewers of dumplings, which is delicious.

Those whose names were on the military service certificate were all happy, and they immediately took the money and formed a team. Those who did not have names also took the initiative to register.

Not only that, because the money was given out so happily, everyone went back to the village to inform the fellow villagers who didn't come. It's such a joy to have friends and company.

In one day and night, more than 8,000 people gathered under the city of Ejiri. Including those who died in the Shangluo army, the actual number of soldiers in Ejiri could reach 9,000 (counting the 700 who were already there at the beginning). According to the principle of sending two out of three troops, Ejiri should theoretically send out 6,000 troops. However, due to the inability to inspect the ground, Ejiri could only send out 4,500 troops in the decisive battle with the Takeda family.

In other words, Ejiri actually hid the military service of more than 1,500 people, and then pushed it back from the military service. Ejiri actually hid at least 10,000 gu in real estate and income.

Xiao Pingtai was secretly happy in her heart. No one else could push the inspection. I used a mere two thousand guan to get you to check it out. Are you happy with the money now? Next year, none of you will be able to escape. Please go out into battle with a military service of 5,700 yuan!

Matsushita Makoto, who was one of Ejiri's predecessors, now fully understood that Kodaira was really bad, so bad that she oozed pus. For generations, the Jiangji family members had tried their best to hide this bit of their family background through deceit and deceit, but now it was completely revealed. On his own account, he had 1,500 guan, but he had actually concealed more than 600 to 700 guan in real estate income. This amount was extremely huge, the concealment was particularly serious, and the social impact was extremely bad.

You bastard, I spent my whole life fighting in the military, but in the end I drank the footwashing water of Xiao Pingtai, a red guy in his twenties.

However, Xiaoping Tai now speaks of the Tianxian, and is the representative of Jiangjiri City. He is in charge of all the general affairs of the country far away from the river. Unless he launches a rebellion, no one dares to die.

Xiaoheita probably didn't notice the terrible expressions on the faces of several powerful people, but he didn't have time to care about it. It was up to Yamauchi Yoshiharu to appease them. Xiaoheita only needs to order the more than 8,000 Jiangji soldiers to form an army quickly, and then replenish some weapons and feed everyone.

Early the next morning, these troops with high morale and full of fighting spirit were driven towards Futamata Castle. The news that Uncle Tsunara cooperated with Iwase Motomasa to conquer Gaotianjin had already arrived.

Only Kakegawa is left in the entire Enjiang Kingdom to stop Koheita's military front!
