Nonomura Takasei obviously did not hear Yu Qiuping's complaint, because his next question was to confirm with everyone present whether Yu Qiuping's order was wrong.
"I am not proficient in military affairs, and I cannot judge whether His Highness's order is correct or not from the maps and battlefield reports submitted by the military. I need a military person to provide information." Nonomura Takashige closed the report in front of him,
He knocked the hammer again and said, "Send military witnesses."
The person brought here this time was Fukushima Yasunari, who came to the court wearing a straight military uniform.
"Master Fukushima, was the judgment made by the defendant on the battlefield correct?" Nonomura Takashige paused, feeling that his question seemed not accurate enough, so he added: "That is to say, the position outside the west gate at that time
It’s too late to support the main battlefield, but it would be faster to climb the city wall.”
"It is correct." Fukushima Yasunari replied in a deep voice without hesitation, and at the same time bowed to Nonomura Takashi, "Sir, Naoe-sama's judgment at the time is absolutely no problem in hindsight."
"But Mr. Fukushima, you yourself are the captain of Tokiwa Bei, the defendant has been your subordinate for many years, and the defendant's father, Mr. Naoe, has been your colleague for more than ten years. I have to wonder if you are suspected of harboring." Nonomura
Takashi didn't take into account Fukushima Yasunari's power and prestige in Yuqiu's family at all, but questioned meticulously.
"Call another military representative, preferably one who has no direct relationship with the defendant." Nonomura Takashige glanced at the court officials responsible for introducing witnesses and motioned to them.
After a while, another military witness was brought up, it was Major Rakihara Bei's company commander Xiguancun Hisashi. He himself only joined the army in Kinki, and he didn't have much contact with the elders of the Imagawa family, and he had never interacted with him.
Naoe Touhei worked together in a military unit, so there is no direct relationship.
"Please let the witness read the information." Nonomura Takashi asked the staff to hand over the battlefield map, report and other information to Nishiguan Muraku, "After reading the information, you can answer my question just now."
"Please also ask the jury not to interfere with the witnesses in making an objective and fair judgment." Nonomura Takashige glanced at the many military representatives waiting for the jury again - they were staring at Xiguan Village with neat eyes for a long time, invisible.
It put tremendous pressure on it.
"Really, why is this little judge so majestic?" Xin Xiancheng Liang couldn't help but cursed and muttered in a low voice, "You still dare to question Big Brother An Cheng, and he still treats us like this? We are here for Yuqiu's family tradition.
He has been fighting for more than ten years, licking the blood of his sword, so what does he mean as a second-generation ancestor? He has never been on the battlefield, right? The young master doesn't dare to do this to us, so who does he mean?"
"The judges all look so arrogant, and so do the members of Congress." Takashi Mouri also helped, "We have to pinch our noses in Congress, after all, the Third Young Master is a hostage with them. These things
The judges are really powerful, don’t you know we can kill them with our backhand?”
"His Highness will not do anything that offends his own conscience. Your Highness is respectful to His Highness Hatakeyama, so we can just tolerate them." Mizuhara Atonsune patted the shoulders of Shinaki Naraki and Mouri Takashi from behind, and said,
"Anyway, injustice is in the heart of the people. Although judges like them are a bit domineering on weekdays, they have never bent the law for personal gain."
Just as the officers of the Red Leaf Army were talking a lot, Xiguancun Jiuya finally finished reading the file. After briefly asking if there were any special circumstances on the battlefield, he raised his head and replied to the judge: "My lord, I feel that Naoe
Your Excellency’s judgment at the time was correct, and His Highness’s order was indeed wrong.”
As soon as Xiguancun Jiu said this, the military representatives in the jury immediately beamed with joy, but the Yuqiu family's strict military discipline prevented them from cheering. After Nonomura Takashi hit the hammer and shouted "serious", he continued
He said, "Master Nishimura, are you sure? After all, you did not appear on the battlefield."
"I'm sure, the distance is very different. You can be sure even without visiting the scene in person." Xiguancun nodded firmly and shook the information in his hand, "As long as these maps and battlefield records are correct."
"The deputy judges of my office have already confirmed it, and there is no problem." Upon seeing this, Nonomura Takashige didn't bother much, and ordered the military representatives to go back. He sat at the table and looked through the military law regulations, and finally sat down
Verification and inspection. After confirming that it was correct, he looked around the audience, and then announced in a deep voice: "Based on the information provided by witnesses from all parties, the following verdict can be made: the defendant has been found guilty of disobeying military orders on the battlefield. However, considering that the defendant
It is not because of selfish motives, but because he made correct corrections when the commander's orders were wrong and contributed to the victory of the battle, he should be punished lightly. According to the military law regulations and the officer's balance, he will retain his military rank.
The punishment is to cancel active duty military status and enter reserve service."
"What? Do we still need to be punished?" After hearing Nonomura Takashi's verdict, the jury was in an uproar.
"If this is the case, then who will fight desperately in the future?"
"Without Chengyuanwan, we had to answer for that battle, and now we have to punish him?"
"Quiet!" Nonomura Takashige slammed the hammer on the table, and after quelling the noise in the courtroom, he loudly said again: "This officer handles the case in accordance with the military law regulations, as it should be. It is only the military law regulations for disobedience.
If there is a loophole, the court will ask the General Staff to amend the military law regulations. However, the trial of this case should be before the military law regulations are revised, so the case must be decided in accordance with the military law regulations. Do you have any questions?"
Nonomura Takashi's righteous words left everyone present speechless. Naoe Nobuei slowly lowered his head, pursed his lips and stopped talking. Yu Qiucen saw his sweetheart in such a wronged state.
In this situation, tears kept rolling in his eyes, and he turned around and looked at Yu Qiuping sadly.
"Cen'er, don't cry. I watched Chengyuanwan grow up. Dad will arrange it for him. This is the best result." Yu Qiuping smiled and touched Yu Qiucen's little head and said for her
He cleared his head and said, "Aren't we planning to build an artillery company? Wouldn't it be great if he, who is in reserve, can directly join that company? Anyway, the military rank will be retained, so it's just a matter of smooth sailing."
"Really?" Yu Qiucen burst into laughter upon hearing this.
"No, after all, he is the son-in-law of our Yuqiu family. We can't let him become a ronin." Yu Qiuping leaned close to Yu Qiucen's ear and whispered in a low voice, watching with satisfaction as his daughter's cheeks slowly dyed
flush.
"Nonsense..." Yu Qiucen pouted and turned away, "I don't understand what you are talking about."
Yu Qiuping smiled and glanced at his beautiful baby daughter. She looked shy and angry, as if she was carved from the same mold as Imagawa Kaede back then.

The artillery battery is not the only force that needs to be expanded. Since Hoshubei and Shoshubei are currently stationed at Iwaya Castle in the north of Awaji Island, the only troops Yu Qiupei can use at his disposal are Tokiwabei, Naibeibei, and Rakiharabei.
The infantry reserve and Tongqiang had a cavalry reserve and a special company, which made it difficult to cope with the long front. Therefore, Yu Qiuping planned to build two new infantry reserves. However, with the previous experience of being taught a lesson by Oda Nobunaga and Lin Xiuzhen,
Yu Qiupei learned the lesson this time. Before expanding the army, he took the initiative to apply to Oda Nobunaga - Oda Nobunaga unexpectedly agreed readily, but also assigned Yu Qiupei a task.
——Suppress the Yamato rebellion within the year.
After the rebellion of Matsunagahide and Araki Murashige, the Oda family's offensive against the Western Kingdom came to a standstill. Throughout the first half of the year, the Oda family was building a new line of defense and transferring titles to wealthy families to stabilize the situation. With the rise of Akihei Ume and Mitsuhide Akechi in Sanin,
With a great victory, the Oda family is preparing to go on the offensive again in the Western Kingdom and Kinki. The top priority is to suppress the rebellion. Ame Akihira is not alone. Oda Nobunaga should send him a lot of reinforcements.
After the military expansion plan was approved by Oda Nobunaga, Yu Qiupei had to find a way to get Congress to approve this large military budget, which was much more troublesome than obtaining Oda Nobunaga's permission. Due to the previous tax increase incident, Yu Qiupei
The relationship between Yu Qiuping and the Congress was already somewhat tense. According to Crow's information, during the period when Yu Qiuping was seriously injured and unconscious, the Congress had been worried that the next successor of the Yu Qiu family would not be willing to maintain the relationship with the Congress and march into Sakai Town. Therefore,
Some bosses even began to contact the Miyoshi family and the Maori family, wanting to leave a way out. Yu Qiuping did not ask Amano Jingtoku to liquidate these people, but began to reflect on himself - is the system he constructed not perfect enough?
Once you are no longer in the system, there is a risk of disintegration.
Therefore, after Yu Qiuping's military expansion plan was rejected by the House of Commons twice in a row, he still patiently reduced the budget in accordance with the requirements of Congress and submitted a third application. This time, Congress was no longer embarrassed to continue to veto Yu Qiuping's pitiful plan.
Budget, but passed Yu Qiuping's budget on the condition that "after the pacification of Yamato, we must ensure that the caravan can trade and recruit workers in Yamato." However, the poor budget cannot train two reserve soldiers, so Yu
Akihira secretly requested part of the funding from the Mitsubishi Caravan, and was scolded by Sena.
The names of the two new armies were given by Yu Qiuping as Junling Bei and Wanjun Bei, still following the Hongye Army's method of giving names based on the "Five Elements". The military flag of Junling Bei is a dangerous mountain, while the military flag of Wanjun Bei is
It was a bolt of lightning. The captain of Junling Bei was Shui Atom Jing, and Yu Qiu Shang also became the commander of the first company of Junling Bei. Many of the core members of Junling Bei came from the original Shui Atom Jing.
The prestigious Tokiwa Bei Second Company. And the captain of Wanjun Bei was the Kitahata Kage family of the original Hosoragi Bei - according to the military rank and seniority, it was indeed his turn. Yu Qiupei ranked him and his Hosoragi Bei
The first company was transferred back from Iwaya Port to form Wanjunbei. At the same time, a supply and new soldiers were transported and handed over to Omaezaki Nakahide to reorganize and fill the gap.
