Kyogoku Kyotakahiro stood up, shook his sleeves, and put his hands behind his back.
"I, Kyogoku Takahiro, am I such a person?!"
Kyogoku Takamasa's face darkened, "Damn it, you looked like an old driver just now, did you really think I couldn't tell?"
However, Kyogoku Takamasa did not want to expose it, and nodded quickly and said: "What father said is absolutely true, I will definitely keep it in mind!"
"Well...children can be taught!"
"Actually, my father once indulged in indulgence when he was young, but that is all in the past. Ever since I met your mother, I know that your mother is the right person."
"In all these years, I have never had a side wife, nor have I had any unclear affairs with other women."
"In this life, having your mother is enough!" Kyogoku Takahiro said with happiness on his face.
Feeling the sincerity in Kyogoku Takahiro's words, Kyogoku Takamasa couldn't help but be moved by the deep love between Kyogoku Takahiro and Mrs. Kotokawa.
"My father is truly a role model for us, and we must imitate him in the future!"
To follow?
nonexistent!
If I don’t sleep with a few more daughters, wouldn’t it damage my reputation as the “Lao Wang next door”?
"Okay, that's all I have to say as a father today. I'm a little tired, so you can go do your own work. I'll go back to my room to rest first."
With that said, Kyogoku Takahiro walked towards his residence with the support of two nicknames.
After Kyogoku Takamasa watched Kyogoku Takahiro leave, he felt a little more emotional.
At this moment, Kyogoku Takamasa inadvertently turned his head and saw Mrs. Kotokawa standing in the corridor, then turned to look in the direction Kyogoku Takahiro left, as if he understood something.
"This desire to live is really strong!"
...
"First column, set up the formation!"
"Raise the gun!"
"charge!"
Two miles outside Imamahama Castle, in a brand new school grounds, Kuchiki Takazuna was training the thousand recruited standing ashigaru.
This school ground was specially built for training Ashigaru. It is quite large and can accommodate thousands of Ashigaru training at the same time.
The school ground is divided into three parts, and the open space in the middle is used to train Ashigaru formations and operations. On the left is the archer's shooting range. Among the thousand standing soldiers, two hundred people are archers.
As for the left side of the school grounds, there is a pasture, which not only raises war horses, but also provides daily training for the riding team.
"Zen'emon, how's the training going with the Ashigaru?"
Kyogoku Takamasa slowly walked to Tsunayika Kaiboku's side on a black war horse. This war horse was carefully selected from the batch of war horses previously captured in Otani Castle. It had a touch of snow-white on its four hooves. His hair is quite similar to the "Wuzui walking on the snow" in various romances about the Celestial Dynasty, and Kyogoku Takamasa also named his mount after this.
Seeing Kyogoku Takamasa coming to inspect Ashigaru's training work, Tsunachika Kaiboku quickly handed over the remaining training tasks to the few samurai beside him, and then strode towards Kyogoku Takamasa.
"My lord, the daily training has almost been completed. After training for more than half a year, the Ashigaru's combat power has begun to take shape."
"But after all, it's just training and no actual combat, so I still lack actual combat experience."
Kyogoku Takamasa glanced at the neatly dressed ashigaru on the school grounds and nodded secretly, then said to Tsunachika Kaiboku: "It's good to be able to do this. This shows Zen'emon's military training. With this ability, I really didn’t misjudge the person at the beginning!”
Hearing Kyogoku Takamasa's praise, Tsunachika Kaiboku scratched his head in embarrassment.
"By the way, don't you have a candidate for the general of the cavalry yet?"
If there is one thing that Kyogoku Takamasa values most about these standing ashigaru, it must be the cavalry team.
Omi is a plain, and the cavalry will play a vital role on the battlefield. Although the Kyogoku family has only a few dozen horses, in a joint battle with a scale of no more than 10,000 people, the charge of dozens of mounted samurai It is enough to influence the situation on the battlefield.
You must know that most of the Ashigaru at this time were farmers and soldiers recruited temporarily, and there was no such thing as combat literacy. A single charge by the cavalry team could even overwhelm a formation of thousands of people.
Moreover, Omi does not produce horses, and even the daimyo in many areas around Omi do not have large-scale horse riding teams. Some peasants and soldiers have never seen a horse in their lives.
As long as the Kyogoku family can make good use of the cavalry, the Kyogoku family will be invincible in a joint battle!
During the Battle of Mikatahara in history, Old Oogway deeply felt the deep malice from Garfield next door.
And although the subsequent Battle of Changbei proved that the cavalry was not invincible, it was only Tianwen three years ago, and it was still nearly ten years before the iron cannon appeared. It will take another twenty or thirty years before iron cannons are used on a large scale on the battlefield. For now, the cavalry is still a weapon in joint battles. There is no doubt about this.
"Now the cavalry team has more than 120 horses. In addition to the dozens of horses brought back from Otani Castle last time, Asami Shinemon-den bought dozens more horses from Echigo during this period. .”
"Twenty war horses are left as backup, and the riding team now has exactly one hundred people."
"However, there is really no one in the family who is good at riding horses. The samurai in the current cavalry team are all those who are reluctantly selected from the family and can ride a horse. But when it comes to being able to fight on horseback flexibly, my cavalry team is still far away."
Kyogoku Takamasa nodded. The cavalry team is indeed not like ordinary ashigaru who only need a little training before they can go into the battlefield. The training of the cavalry team will be more complicated and time-consuming. This will not happen overnight.
"Then who is in charge of training the horse riding team now?"
Before, Kyogoku Takamasa directly handed over the training work of Ashigaru and the horseback riding team to Tsunachika Kaiboku, without much intervention himself, so Kyogoku Takamasa was not particularly clear about some specific situations.
"Kasahara Matasaburo-don is from Shinano, and he is the samurai who knows the best about war horses. Kasahara-sama is responsible for the training of the riding team."
"However, Kasahara-sama only has a little understanding of it, and is not very proficient in it. Everything is done in a trial and error manner."
Say Cao Cao Cao Cao is here!
As soon as Uboku Tsuna's words finished, Kasahara Kiyotsuna quickly rode a horse to Kyogoku Takamasa's side.
"I have met my lord!" Kasahara Kiyotsuna dismounted from his horse and saluted Kyogoku Takamasa.
Kyogoku Takamasa quickly signaled Kasahara Kiyosuna to stand up, and then continued to ask: "Masaburo, are there any difficulties in the training of the horse riding team?"
"It's not difficult to fight, but there are a lot of minor problems. Nowadays, the warriors in the cavalry can barely control their horses from falling off when charging. As for fighting on horseback, it is still very difficult."
"So in your opinion, what is most lacking right now in order for the cavalry to be able to compete in a battle?"
Kasahara Kiyotsuna replied without hesitation: "What is lacking most right now is a strong general! A strong general on horseback who can lead the charge!"
"Although cavalry combat is different from ordinary ashigaru, there are similarities. A cavalry charge needs a leader. As long as there is such a person, the cavalry team will be invincible!"
"It's just that I don't have such a talent in my family, not even me, nor other retainers."
Hearing this, Kyogoku Gaomasa couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.
There is no such person in the entire Kyogoku family. Where can I find Kyogoku Gaomasa for a while?
Maybe it's time to dig a little deeper.
Kyogoku Takamasa suddenly looked in a certain direction and secretly had a plan in mind...
