After Yu Qiuping led the main force back, Miyoshi Nagaitsu and Miyoshi Masayasu, who were originally active, immediately led their troops back to Takaya Castle and Kishiwada Castle. They only had more than 2,000 soldiers on hand, and their combat effectiveness was not as good as Tokiwa Bei. Therefore, they did not dare to act rashly.
, seems to want to wait for reinforcements from the Mihaoshi family.
However, Yu Qiuping barely stayed at Maple Leaf Mountain Castle. He led his army to Ruoe without stopping, and ordered Charlie himself who was in Otori County, Sakai Town, to come to join him. Anyone familiar with Yu Qiuping knew that Yu Qiuping would probably have to deal with it.
There was a dispute between Charlie and Yoshioka Katsumasa before.
As soon as the evaluation meeting was held, Yoshioka Katsumasa sat angrily at the corner of the table. No matter how much Omaezaki Nakahide and Fukushima Yasunari tried to persuade him, Charlie looked calm as always and sat quietly at Yoshioka Katsumasa.
On the stool opposite, waiting for Yu Qiuping to speak.
"Your Highness, you have to take care of the foreigner brother!" However, before Yu Qiuping could speak, Yoshioka Shengzheng spoke angrily: "He will not cooperate with me, life or death! If he attacks with me,
, we have taken down Gaowa City now!"
"Do you mean that cooperating with your actions is the same as obeying your orders?" Charlie replied in a moderate tone, "Your Highness gave me an order to guard Sakai Town, and he did not ask me to accept your control."
"Brother foreigner, don't be unreasonable. The fault for this matter is yours!" Jigang Shengzheng was about to speak again when he saw this, but was stopped by Yu Qiuping with a wave of his hand.
"Okay, okay, stop talking. The fault for this matter is not yours, but mine." Yu Qiuping tried to smooth things over with a wry smile, looked at Ji Gang Shengzheng, and then turned to look at Charlie, "It's me.
There was a problem with the deployment before leaving, and a clear command was not determined, which led to such a command conflict. You two are both majors and generals, and you are indeed not under each other. Thompson is right, and so is Shengzheng."
"What do you mean by His Highness?" Nakahide Omaezaki heard the implication and continued excitedly: "A new command system is to be established?"
"That's right. You are quite smart." Yu Qiuping nodded with satisfaction, and then continued, "I plan to apply to Congress for a budget, and then expand a company of infantry and half a company of cavalry. This way
, we will have 6 companies of infantry and 1 company of cavalry."
"Then." Yu Qiuping paused, attracted everyone's attention, and then stated the focus of the meeting, "I plan to split these six infantry companies in half, and the three companies will still be under Tokiwa Bei.
, the remaining three companies will form a new reserve team."
"What?" As soon as these words came out, the participating samurai were shocked. Ever since Yu Qiupei was personally given the Maple Bird flag and the name "Jiwan Bei" by Imagawa Yoshimoto twelve years ago, the name "Jiwa Bei"
These three words have always been the symbol of the Red Leaf Soldiers of the Yuqiu family. These old subordinates have long been accustomed to fighting as Tokiwa Bei, but at this moment, there is suddenly a brand new reserve team, and half of the high-ranking troops are required.
The officer was separated and could no longer fight as Tokiwa Bei.
Yu Qiuping saw the embarrassment of His Highnesses, understood it rationally, and said emotionally: "You must know that the Yu Qiu family's situation is no longer what it used to be. In the past, we only had to deal with enemies from one direction, and every time we went to battle, we had to deal with enemies in one direction.
It is a gathering of all members, so all the members of Tokiwa Preparation are
There is nothing wrong with me taking command. But right now, we are surrounded by enemies on all sides. Not only do we need to divide our troops for garrison, but sometimes I also have to lead a part of the troops to follow the lord on an expedition. In this case, it is impossible for me to control the various units of Tokiwabi who are thousands of miles apart at the same time.
Therefore, I can only set up two reserve teams to facilitate command. I can also give the commander enough authority to act according to his own judgment. With unified command, chaotic situations similar to the previous few days will not happen again.
Already."
"But don't worry, even if you leave Tokiwa Bei, the new reserve team can still put red leaves on their flags and wear red leaves on their helmets. However, the flags of the two reserve teams must be distinguished." Yuqiu Pingbian
As he spoke, he took out a Tokiwa Bei team flag designed by Imagawa Kaede - a pattern of a mountain with red leaves. This was also painted by him to commemorate Sunfu Kitayama where he and Imagawa Kaede met.
"Although half of you will have to leave Tokiwa Bei, and you may feel uncomfortable psychologically, this is for the great cause of the Yuqiu family, so please be considerate."
"Your Highness doesn't have to be like this. I have no time to make a living for the Yu Qiu family, so how can I interfere with His Highness's deployment because of this." Upon seeing this, Fukushima Yasunari was the first to stand up and salute Yu Qiuping, "Your Highness, although
Order!"
"Your Highness, just ask!" Upon seeing this, the other warriors also saluted.
"Thank you." Yu Qiuping glanced at his loyal subordinates with great gratitude. However, the reason why his subordinates have such high cohesion is because he withstood the pressure at that time and did not carry out enfeoffment. Instead, he divided the small wealthy family's
It is indispensable to take back the land. If every general has a fiefdom, and the troops under his command are his personal deployment instead of Tokiwabei's officers and soldiers, then it would be a fantasy for Yu Qiuping to make such organizational adjustments.
, which is why even though many Japanese daimyo are powerful, their troops are still relatively loose.
"Okay. Let me announce the list of personnel." Yu Qiuping took out a list from his arms again, cleared his throat, and muttered in a low voice: "Captain Fukushima Yasunari of Tokiwabei's headquarters has been promoted to military rank.
He is a brigadier general. The company commanders of the three infantry companies attached to Tokiwabei are: colonel Yoshioka Katsumasa, lieutenant colonel Mizumoto Susuki, and major aide Kazuki Aoki."
After learning that they were still staying in Tokiwa Bibei, Yoshioka Katsumasa, Mizu Atonsune and Aoki Kazuki all had smiles on their faces, while several other senior officers were a little helpless. Although Yu Qiuping felt a little intolerable, he still couldn't bear it.
I feel a little relieved - this shows that everyone loves Tokiwa Bei and the Yuqiu family.
"Your Highness, what is brigadier general?" The troubled young man Omaezaki Nakahide repeated Yu Qiupei's pronunciation again doubtfully, "Is it a new military rank?"
"That's right." Yu Qiuping nodded and made a few gestures with his hands. "Beyond the school officers, there are four military ranks: brigadier general, major general, lieutenant general, and general. Brigadier general and major general are equivalent to department generals.
Generals and admirals are almost like family elders and city lords. They can serve as captains and independently command the reserve team."
"As for the newly established reserve team, the captain of the unit is Charlie, and the military rank has also been promoted to brigadier general. The company commanders of the three companies belonging to this new reserve team are Colonel Nakahide Gomaezaki, Colonel Attendant General, and Yutō Ogawa, Colonel Attendant General.
, the lieutenant colonel served as the aide to the general Kitahata Kageie. The colonel served as the aide to the general.
The cavalry company led by Shan Xinshi will be under my direct control." After Yu Qiuping read out the list, he added, "As for the promotion of other officers' ranks, Mr. Takenaka will announce it later."
"Your Highness, what's the name of the new reserve team?" Omaezaki Nakahide immediately became concerned about his own reserve team, "What's it called?"
"Thompson, you are the captain, do you have any ideas?" Yu Qiuping thought for a while and then left the decision to Charlie, "Why don't you come up with a name? This is your reserve team."
"Please give your highness your name and the military flag." Charlie saluted Yuqiu without hesitation, and at the same time leaned slightly and said, "This is my honor as a soldier. I will definitely serve as your highness's sharpest arrow."
Arrow, no matter where Your Highness wants me to shoot, I will shoot forward."
Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, realizing that this might be a tradition in England. He looked at Charlie again, who was leaning over, and suddenly felt a little touched.
Of all the people present, Charlie was the first to follow him, and even Naoe Tadayei met him later. When he was buying chickens for his subordinates who were still slaves, it was Charlie who helped him with all his money. Before he knew it, more than ten people had joined him.
Years have passed. Time flies so fast.
"I know, then I will tell you what I have thought about tomorrow." Yu Qiuping smiled and patted Charlie on the shoulder, "I have prepared a surprise for you."
·
After Yu Qiuping returned home, Imagawa Feng was handling a mountain of official business for him. After hearing the door open, she raised her head, pouting at Yu Qiuping and complaining: "Too many, you
Stop being lazy and running around, come here and help!"
"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work Feng'er." Yu Qiuping smiled and sat next to Imakawa Kaede, but did not lift up the pen to handle official duties. Instead, he put his left hand around Imagawa Kaede's waist, and his right hand gently rubbed Imakawa Kaede.
With her busty breasts, she said with a bad smile: "I'll treat you well?"
"Hey! You bad guy!" Imakawa Feng's cheeks turned red, and he pinched Yu Qiuping's waist tenderly, "It's broad daylight! What do you want to do!"
"I want to ask you to paint!" To Imagawa Feng's surprise, Yu Qiuping changed the subject and actually mentioned an inexplicable thing.
"Drawing?" Imagawa Kaede was stunned for a moment, the blush on his cheeks had not faded, "Drawing a military flag? Didn't I already help you draw Tokiwabei's military flag?"
"This time it's for Thompson's reserve team. I've designed it, you can be the one to write it!"
·
Early the next morning, Charlie had been waiting in the military camp for a long time, waiting for the name of his reserve team and waiting for his team flag.
Yu Qiuping arrived as promised, smiled at Charlie, and then reached into his arms to take it out. Charlie looked expectantly at the military flag that Yu Qiuping took out from his arms, but unexpectedly discovered that what Yu Qiuping took out was a flag.
Sound arrow.
"Mingdi?" Charlie was stunned for a moment and recognized this special arrow.
"Where the ringing dynamite points, the sharp arrow points." Yu Qiuping walked up to Charlie, took out a military flag from his pocket, and slowly unfolded it in front of Charlie - what was painted on the military flag was exactly what Yu Qiuping was holding.
The sound of dysprosium.
"Give me the name Ming Dybei."
"As my sharpest arrow, shoot it for me to bring peace and prosperity."
