Most of the guardian mansion was abandoned, and the remaining part was cleaned up together with several maids 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 is no problem for a short time, but over time, I still need to recruit some standing Qingzu.
The main force of the army during the Warring States Period was Ji warriors. They were knowledgeable, well-paid, and fearless of death. Their profession was to kill people, and they were the backbone of the army.
Peasants and soldiers in the samurai village were engaged in daily production and could be drawn out to fight during the slack time.
Raise your own equipment and just take care of the food, free cannon fodder. Morale is low, just waving the flag and shouting. Fortunately, the number is large enough, and the momentum is strong enough to fight against the wind.
There are also some girls who have extra children in each household. 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 amount of food they go into battle, and they earn more than thirty koku in a year. They also need to provide weapons and equipment, and the lord can't afford too many.
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 a few days ago.
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.
There is 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 Qingzu in the village for daily off-the-job training and to look after the home and nursing home.
It costs sixty dan for food a year, and the necessary weapons and equipment have to be purchased in the castle town.
Yiyin 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 of twenty standing Qingzu are sixty dan, and the light foot wears the royal armor and the formation hat. The bamboo spear as a weapon must be bought with at least one person's money, so it is 100 dan.
Fortunately, these light footing equipment are all owned by the owner. If they are well maintained, they can last 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 half of the seven hundred stone has been spent. If there is a war, it will cost 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 will 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 Yoshigami himself also needs to learn some battle formations.
Different from the swords used in ordinary times, the battle relies on large guns, bows, arrows and iron cannons. Swords are of little use on the battlefield.
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 Yoshigami's mind, Maeda Toshiie. . .
Maeda Toshiie is the fourth daughter of Maeda Toshimasa, the lord of Aroko Castle. Toshi Chang is the eldest son of Lin Xiuzhen, an important minister of the Oda family, that is, a subordinate samurai. There are six daughters in this generation.
The world is short of supplies, and the Wu family would be worried if there were too many daughters. Maeda Toshiie was sent to Oda Nobunaga at an early age and served Nobunaga as a minor surname. Now he is serving as an official under Nobunaga and is the leader of the direct-administered troops.
The reason why I think of her is that she is a famous martial arts warrior nearby.
Secondly, she was very poor. Maeda Toshimasa had many daughters and was given away early. Her job and salary were not much, so she should be happy 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 city has a clear layout. The most important thing 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 important. She is qualified to participate in the review, and she is considered a low-ranking warrior.
There were a lot of things to do at home, so Yoshigami didn't take Yukino Harano 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 Toshiya. Before he could reach the door, several ripe persimmons suddenly fell from the persimmon tree nearby, leaving a red mark on his 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 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 hands away, speechless. How could a persimmon that accidentally fell from a 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 can 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, Xiao Lang is quite fierce."
The woman retracted her hand with a look on her face and said.
"Knowing that I am a man, you are still so frivolous. Is this how the Ji warrior from Qingzhou 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! Go back to Huangzi City if you disturb my sleep again!"
After roaring at the woman, she was surprised to see Yiyin.
"Yiyin-kun, 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.
"Huangzi City is not 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."
Li Jia looked helplessly at her, unable to do anything. This is her eldest sister's adopted daughter, who is about the same age as her. She is loyal and polite, but her interests are out of control and lively, unlike a Ji warrior.
He likes the lively Qingzhou City, but has no interest in the family territory of Huangzi City. He stayed at Li's house for most of the year and couldn't get rid of him.
"Bold! Do you know what your identity is?"
"Of course I know. I know all the handsome young men in the city. This is the first time I see such a handsome one.
As soon as I saw him with his hair cut off and his safari clothes, I knew it was Yoshiyoshi Shiba who was the pimp of the fourth aunt to sleep with His Highness Oda. "
