A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

At this time, it is no longer practical to send Buddhist weapons to Nagashima Yuanzheng Temple, but it is still no problem to send hundreds of iron cannons to enhance his firepower.

And don't think that it can't be transported in. Regardless of the desperate fight on Nagashima, shipping in Ise Bay is still smooth. The Oda family and Nagashima Ikku fought with real swords and guns, but Tsushima of the Oda family still happily did business with Nagashima.

Apart from iron cannons, gunpowder and lead which are obviously not for sale, what else can’t be sold? If you don't do business, you'd be a fool!

Nowadays, as long as there is a way, it is not easy to send some prohibited items to Changdao, but it is not that difficult. It is more troublesome to deal with the Kuuki navy that covers the water of Nagashima. They came to surround Nagashima on the order of Oda Nobunaga. I don't know if they can deal with it.

It's not up to Xiaoheita to do this. Murakami Yoshimitsu has been working in the special department for several years, and now he should also experience it. Just entrust him to do it. You can't just be the leader's secretary for the rest of your life.

Regarding the various news channels and hidden stakes left by Yamauchi Yoshiharu in Dongguo and Luoyang, recently because Chief Yamauchi felt that he was old and physically unable to keep up, he took the initiative to discuss this matter with Xiaoheita. Ashikaga Yoshiaki knew everything.

The original copy and the contact list were both in the hands of Koheta, but Yamauchi Yoshiharu gave the copy to his brother, Chief Accountant Yamauchi, and agreed to return it to Ashikaga Yoshiaki when he came of age to rule. Now it's just an advance notice that this thing exists.

Xiaoping was too helpless, and he only took care of it temporarily anyway. He did not regard this thing as his own. Besides, he was not the only one who knew about it, so it was impossible to think about it.

There are many other things to be busy with, and you can’t just focus on this one. The army must be disbanded first. In addition to the standing flags, the levies have already been exhausted for nearly four months and cannot hold out for long.

The summer harvest in the territory has almost ended. Under the current situation, Xiaoheita has stored most of the harvested grain. Anyway, he can now make an advance from the National Yamauchi Gold Reserve, so the gap in cash is not too big for the time being.

Oda Nobunaga and Ashikaga Yoshiaki have actually fallen out, but on the surface there is just a fig leaf. As the core pillar of the shogunate, the Yamauchi family may be involved in the plot against Oda Nobunaga at any time because of Ashikaga Yoshiaki's call. war. If we don’t store food now, we won’t be able to buy it if something unexpected happens.

Moreover, this time there happened to be a drill for tens of thousands of troops to march to Luo. If Yamauchi really wanted to march to Luo, it would require at least 30,000 to 50,000 troops, and then the entire logistics would be a mind-bogglingly complicated matter.

This time, the 15,000 people will come first. If you have any problems, you can directly understand and deal with them. At first, in the mountain territory, the food stored in the military depots in various counties and cities could be eaten at one stop, without the need for large-scale transfers. After crossing Dongsanhe, since we are marching within friendly territory this time, we can also purchase food and mobilize supplies along the way.

For example, Tsuda, Inoguchi, Otsu, Kusatsu, Luoyang, etc. are all prosperous and prosperous towns, and it is quite convenient to assemble supplies. Meino and Owari are grain-producing areas. Even after winter, there are considerable grain reserves in the entire countryside, so that there will be no place to buy food on the march.

And south of the Yangtze River and north of the Yangtze River are where prosperous rural markets and rivers and lakes plains are located, making it easier to mobilize food and grass. As long as gold and copper money are spent, even the acquisition of troops, horses and iron cannons can be done in an instant.

But if the two sides fight, it has been said before that the main road suitable for marching is the Tokaido. According to Koheita's estimate, if Tokugawa Ieyasu cannot instigate rebellion, the battle will take about ten days and a half.

Then there are the generals Hirate Hanhide who was reserved by Oda Nobunaga in Anxiang City, Mizuno Shingen in Kariya Castle, and Hayashi Xiuzhen in Kiyosu Castle. They all look like they will not surrender easily. If the army goes to Luo, they will not pull out these nails. There is no way to continue marching if it falls.

Once we enter Owari, Oda Nobunaga will probably have to sell everything to raise 30,000 to 50,000 people to fight, no matter how difficult it is. It might be better if they fight immediately, but if they fall into a long-term confrontation like Komaki's long-term battle, it will really be a logistical disaster.

Feeding tens of thousands of mouths fighting in enemy territory every day is extremely difficult!

It seems that finding a way to establish a Yamauchi clan elementary school is on the agenda!

We don’t expect everyone to become talented. At least we need to learn three-digit addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Not to mention knowing thousands of Chinese characters, but knowing about seven or eight hundred commonly used characters, I should be able to read and write.

It doesn’t feel like the length of schooling is too long. Xiao Pingtai feels that five years is enough. He studies culture in the morning and martial arts in the afternoon. After entering school at the age of seven or eight, and graduating at the age of thirteen or fourteen, you can do internships everywhere. When you are sixteen, you can become an adult.

Perfect!

When Xiao Pingtai started to work as an iron gun practitioner, the little Tongxin who was given to him was only thirteen years old. He had not even passed the period of voice change, and he always spoke in a baby voice. He still went out to make a living, earn money and marry a wife. In these days Not surprisingly.

Where do the teaching staff come from? It's very easy to learn how to kill people. Just find some 1.4 meter strong man in the book. He can jump more nimbly than a monkey and a crow can fly like an airplane.

Learning arithmetic and Chinese characters is a big problem. Even though there are hundreds of samurai in the Yamauchi family flag book, not all of them are literate, and many of them only know one's own name. Some people can understand Chinese characters, but they are not reliable in writing long letters by themselves.

It’s a bit of a stretch to expect them to teach and educate people in their free time!

You can't really ask a monk to run a school. Although Terakoya has a long history in Japan, and despite Xiaoping's pretending to be a Christian, he is actually very disgusted with the entry of religious forces into education.

How can education not be secularized? We still need to find other ways. Of course, the best thing would be for an educated member of the Hatamoto samurai directly under Yamauchi to come out and teach the children, that would be the most reliable! He is loyal and his level is not bad!

It's a pity that at the end of the year, there are always months of fighting outside, and we can't suspend classes as soon as the war starts. How can we train the next generation?

Xiaoping Tai simply handed over the matter to the Lianjian members for discussion. Anyway, everyone now understands that just being able to kill people with a knife will not work. Managing counties and preparing logistics are top priorities. As the war gets bigger and bigger, more and more administrative personnel are needed.

Relying on recruitment is definitely not reliable. It is better to train the children of our own feudal clan in the mountains. The scale is large or small. There are at least several thousand school-age children.

Naturally, those present directly excluded girls, and due to the limitations of the times, did not talk about him. It is unrealistic for all these boys to attend classes at Yamauchi Fuchu Castle. It is as far away as the Hachioji place of Musashi Province, and it would take several days to get there, so there is no way to arrange it.

There are many problems and they cannot be solved overnight!
