Most of the guardian mansion was abandoned, and the remaining part was cleaned up together with several servants under the leadership of Harano Yukino.
It was much smaller, with fences and walls built, and several people took turns keeping watch.
There is a lot of food at home, and I am more afraid of thieves than robbers. This will not be a problem for a short period of time, but over time, I still need to recruit some standing troops.
The main force of the army during the Warring States Period was the Ji Warriors. They were knowledgeable, well-paid, and fearless of death. Their occupation was killing people, and they were the backbone of the army.
Peasants and soldiers in the samurai village were used for daily production and could be drawn out to fight in the slack time.
Raise your own equipment, just take care of the food, free cannon fodder. Morale is low, but you can just wave the flag and shout. Fortunately, the number is large enough, and you can fight with a strong momentum.
There are also some girls who have extra children in each family. The family cannot support them and there is not enough food to eat. They are recruited by the samurai family to become standing ashigaru.
Ten ashigaru need to eat two koku of food a month, which doubles the number of battles, and they will earn more than thirty koku in a year. They also need to provide weapons and equipment, and the lord cannot afford to support them too much.
No more than 30 people can be mobilized for a thousand-stone territory. After all, the lord is also poor.
However, their combat effectiveness is better than that of peasants and soldiers, and they can still look after homes and homes. Originally, Spo's family also raised some, but all of them died in the past few days.
In addition, some wild warriors whose masters had perished, rogues with unknown origins, and even bandit groups were hired to fight, and they recognized money but not people.
They do have fighting ability, but most of them are sneaky and slippery, and they are unreliable in a fight.
Based on the current conditions of the Sibo family, Yiyin decided to recruit twenty standing soldiers in the village for daily off-the-job training and home care.
It costs sixty dan for food a year, and the necessary weapons and equipment have to be purchased in the castle town.
Yi Gin did the math and found that one hundred dan was exchanged for fifty guan. After excluding the 30 guan for Yukino's job and salary, there were still 20 guan left. The other two women also had sixty dan of food.
The rations for twenty standing Qingzu are sixty dan, the light foot wears the royal armor and the formation hats they wear, and the bamboo spears used as weapons must be bought with at least one person's money, so it is one hundred dan.
Fortunately, these light footing equipment are all owned by the owner. If they are well maintained, they can last for a long time.
In this way, two hundred and sixty shi were spent, leaving twenty guan of money.
This day has not even begun, and more than 700 dan have been spent on less than half. If there is a war, it will be spent even more, and some food must be saved to prevent famine. I don't panic if I have food at home.
I don’t dare to recruit Qingzu any more, so I’ll just maintain it for now.
In addition to recruiting soldiers, you also need to spend money to find a teacher. Yukino needs to learn swordsmanship, and Yoshigan himself also needs to learn some battle formations.
Different from the swords used in daily life, the swords are of little use on the battlefield because they rely on large guns, bows, arrows and iron cannons.
Moreover, fighting a war is not just a matter of paper. What is really needed is obtained with the blood of generations of warriors. You must find a good teacher with a family background. It is also good to spend more money.
Who is this teacher looking for? A graceful figure emerged in Yoshigage's mind, Maeda Toshiie...
Maeda Toshiie is the fourth daughter of Maeda Toshimasa, the lord of Aroko Castle. Toshimasa is the yuri of the Oda family's important minister Lin Xiuzhen, that is, a subordinate samurai. There are six daughters in this generation.
In this world, materials are scarce, and the samurai family would be worried if they had too many daughters. Maeda Toshiie was sent to Oda Nobunaga at an early age, serving as a minor surname to serve Nobunaga. Now he is serving as an official under Nobunaga, as a mother-in-law, and is the leader of the direct-controlled troops.
The reason why I think of her is that she is very skilled in martial arts and is a famous Ji warrior nearby.
Secondly, she is very poor. Maeda Toshimasa had many daughters and was given away early. Her salary is not much, so she should be willing to earn more money and food.
Thirdly, she is an upright samurai. Regarding the matter between Oda Nobunaga and Yoshigan, she feels guilty towards Yoshigan and will not hide anything.
The more he thought about it, the more he thought he was a good teacher. Yiyin set out early the next morning to find her in Qingzhou City.
The layout of the castle is clear. The most important one is Nobunaga's castle tower, and then there is the inner city area surrounding the castle tower. The Maeda Toshi family lives in the residential area where the Hime warriors gather in the outer area.
Her status is not high, but her position is very critical and she is qualified to participate in the review. She is considered a low-ranking warrior.
There were a lot of things to do at home, so Yoshigan didn't take Yukino Haruno with him. He wore plain clothes, wrapped his head to cover his short hair after being cut, and walked on the streets of the city dressed like a Ji Samurai.
I asked for directions several times on the way and found the residence of Maeda Toshi's family. Before I could reach the door, several ripe persimmons suddenly fell from the persimmon tree nearby, leaving a red mark on my chest.
"Sorry, sorry, I was eating a persimmon on a tree and accidentally fell it."
A beautiful woman jumped down from the tree, her hair hanging behind her back in a ponytail.
He was wearing a strange bright red yukata, with a straw rope tied around his waist. The clothes didn't fit him well, and the weight of his chest pushed out half of the bullet as he jumped down the tree.
He looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a frivolous smile on his face and reached out to touch Yiyin's chest.
"Here, let me wipe it for you."
Yiyin slapped her hand away, speechless. How could a persimmon that accidentally fell from the tree fly five steps horizontally? This woman clearly recognized his gender and took the opportunity to molest him.
"No, it's just a little color, I can just go back and do it myself."
Unable to figure out where the woman came from, Yiyin cautiously chose to avoid it.
"Oh, why are you so embarrassed? This is all my fault. Or I'll buy you a drink as an apology."
The woman indifferently shook off the hand that Yiyin slapped away, and stretched out her arms to hug Yiyin.
Yiyin narrowed his eyes and held the handle of the knife with his right hand.
"Oh, Xiaolang is quite fierce."
The woman frowned and retracted her hand and said.
"Knowing that I am a man, you are still so frivolous. Is this how the Kiyosu warrior Ji behaves?"
The sound at the door woke up Maeda Toshiie at home. She had just returned home to catch up on her sleep after keeping vigil for Nobunaga last night. The noise at the door woke her up and she opened the door angrily.
"Ziyi, what are you doing! If you keep disturbing me in my sleep again, go back to Huangzi City!"
After roaring at the woman, she was surprised to see Yiyin.
"Yi Yinjun, why are you here?"
"Good afternoon, Li Jiaji."
Yiyin bowed to Lijia.
"Please come in and talk, you bastard, have you done something weird again, right? Go back to Huangzi City tomorrow!"
The woman who was called "Profit" was scolded by the Lee family and shrugged indifferently.
"How can Huangzi City be as fun as Qingzhou City? Xiaolang is a very generous person at first glance and will not argue with a scoundrel like me. It's okay, Fourth Aunt."
The Lee family looked at her helplessly and had no choice. This was her eldest sister's adopted daughter, who was about the same age as her. She was loyal and polite, but her interests were unconventional and lively, unlike a Ji warrior.
I like the lively Qingzhou City, but have no interest in the family territory of Huangzi City. I stay with the Li family for most of the year, and I can't get rid of it.
"Bold! Do you know what your identity is?"
"Of course I know. I know all the pretty young men in the city. This is the first time I've seen such a handsome one.
As soon as I saw him with his hair cut off and his safari clothes, I knew that the fourth aunt was the one who pimped His Highness Oda to sleep with, Yoshigami Shiba."
