Liu Shiba turned his head and looked around, and saw dozens of well-dressed retainers and generals walking in from outside the tent.
If you look carefully, you will find that these people are just like Takeda Shingen, there is disharmony hidden in the gorgeous kimonos...
The seemingly gorgeous kimono is actually covered with fine stitch marks, all of which are patches?
Liu Shiba speculated in his heart:
Isn't it said that there were several gold mines in Kai? It was these gold mines that maintained the poor Takeda family's territory, constantly expanded their territory, expanded their army, and established the Akabi Cavalry, which was second to none in terms of combat effectiveness during the Warring States Period.
However, the patches hidden under the fine clothes of these retainers also indicate that the Takeda territory is not as rich as having gold mines as described in history?
Liu Shiba's doubtful look did not escape the eyes of the wily Takeda Shingen...
"Takeda 18, what did you see?"
Shingen's voice sounded and he looked at Liu Shiba.
Liu Shiba looked calm and responded softly:
"Patches, there are a lot of patches on the kimono..."
Takeda Shingen smiled mysteriously and said:
"So, what did you think of?"
"Poor, very poor..."
Liu Shiba took a breath and said directly.
"Cough cough cough..."
"My life is not long, I shouldn't have kept it from you! But now I have to tell you the truth.
In fact, most of Takeda's territory is mountainous and lacks water... and the gold mines rumored by the outside world are not absent, there are still some, but it is just a small gold mine with poor output, which was mined out as early as three years ago.
…”
After coughing violently for a few times, Takeda Shingen looked calm and softly conveyed a jaw-dropping, despairing "good news" to Liu Shiba!
The meaning expressed in Takeda Shingen’s explanation is very clear:
"Poor, my place is very poor, very poor..."
As we all know, the Takeda family's army was the leader in the Warring States Period, Azuchi Momoyama, in terms of combat effectiveness and scale!
But Nima, are you going to be aggressive?
"Mr. Shingen, I wonder what the proportion of draws is in the territories controlled by Kai or Takeda?"
Liu Shiba frowned and hesitated for a moment.
Upon hearing this, Takeda Shingen's pale face glowed with a trace of energy, a smile flashed in his eyes, he stretched out five fingers and shook them in front of Liu Shiba, and whispered:
"Each household will draw one every five!"
"What if that family doesn't have five people? Or if they are all old and weak, and all of them are women, what if they are all women?"
Liu Shiba looked gloomy and asked after thinking for a while.
"Cough cough cough!"
"Easy! Two households with less than five people will be drawn together. If they are all old and weak, then the two households will be merged into one and one person will be chosen as an auxiliary. If they are all women, then they will be chosen to be thirteen years old or above, and at least one woman will be chosen.
Serve with the army."
Takeda Shingen continued to cough a few more times and smiled lightly.
Liu Shiba's expression changed drastically and he said stupidly:
"Girls over thirteen years old? What can they do in the army?"
Takeda Shingen sat still, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, stared at Liu Shiba curiously and replied truthfully:
"The retainers and generals are all brave warriors and men among men, especially after a big battle, they are under great pressure.
In this way, necessary catharsis is a very necessary method for soldiers and generals. Apart from men and women, what else is more suitable than this? I don’t know what better way you have, Mr. Shiba?"
"Gulu!"
Liu Shiba raised his hand and wiped the corner of his mouth numbly. There was also a trace of saliva leaking out. He swallowed another mouthful of unknown liquid that almost overflowed, and said with difficulty:
"Okay! This method is very good. I don't think there is anything more suitable than this. Mr. Shingen's solution is really exquisite - it's wonderful!"
But deep down in his heart, Liu Shiba thought in a dumbfounded way:
"It turns out that Wei Anfu's customs have taken shape since the Anzu Momoyama period?
This period of history must be passed down to future generations, lest they refuse to admit it in the future. Otherwise, hundreds of years of historical documents must be dug up and pointed out to those who are dissatisfied:
Take a look, Japan had a dark history during the Azuchi-Momoyama era, so what’s the use of defaulting on the debt?”
……………………
There will be another outbreak later, no explanation! I will make up for last night’s update tonight...
