In April 1556, two months after the completion of the Xinyin Flow Dojo in Qingzhou Town, this time is the busy farming season when rice transplanting begins, and all daimyos will not choose to fight at this time. First of all, the peasants and soldiers will go home to farm, so what can they fight? Besides, if the harvest is missed, they will all starve to death.

Because there is nothing to be busy with this season, I just had a honeymoon with Sakura. I enjoyed the flowers and drank under the moon every day. If it weren’t for Niba Nagahide rushing over on horseback, it would be a perfect pastoral scenery.

Niba Nagashu didn't dismount. "Shengyi, go and organize the gathering of his subordinates. I'll notify others." After saying that, he turned around.

I was confused and hugged Ying and shouted, "Who are you going to hit?"

The voice of Niba Nagahide came from the distance, "Saito Yoshiro."

I remembered that guy who killed his father and seized the throne. I said to myself, "Damn, this kid finally rebelled. He didn't even let his father go. Takeda Shingen just exiled his father."

A trace of sadness flashed in Ying's eyes and put down the wine glass and said to me, 'Once you are infected with interests and power, no matter what kind of family affection and morality can be put aside immediately.'

This was a bit weird. I looked at Ying in my arms and said, "Did you think of your father giving you to me?"

Ying smiled and rubbed her head against me like a kitten. "As a woman from the Wu family, she still has this awareness. Fortunately, she didn't give me to an old man."

I patted Ying on the shoulder with my left hand, "Don't look at who your husband is. No one else is as good as me. I left and go back to war." A few servants left to pack up the tableware. I took people back to Qingzhou City first. The news here was faster. Nearly 400 soldiers stood neatly in the yard of Kudo's family, and no one spoke. The yard was particularly quiet. A few months ago, most of this group of people were wild samurai, ronin, and farmer, but now they only have one identity, warrior. Through the noon sunshine, I even vaguely saw the murderous aura on this group of people. It seems that the exercise effect is pretty good, and occasionally killing bandits will also help their growth.

I walked around the yard and nodded, "Prepare horses for everyone. Keiji, Katsuma, Katsuma, and Caizang and I went to Tianshou Pavilion with me.' After I was promoted to General of Football, I could promote three Footballs according to regulations. These three positions were handed over to Maeda Keiji, Katsuma, Shima, Katsuma, and Kezang, each commanded 100 soldiers with a monthly salary of 30 stagnant. As my master and deputy head of the Guardian Banmoto, I also received 30 stagnant.

As for the ninja leader in the family, Ishikawa Yuemon, who gets the same money as Maeda Kyoji, the ninjas, but many of the ninja's weapons, medicines and armor need to be specially customized. As the personnel increase, I specially paid for Ishikawa Yuemon, who can receive 1,000 guan a month, and there is no need to report it.

I and three retainers went to Tianshou Pavilion and found that they were gathering here. However, the efficiency was far from my family. In addition to the personal soldiers and flags, the others had to go to each village to catch the strong men in groups.

This time, I didn't wait much for Oda Nobunaga to pass me to the top of the Tenshou Pavilion. "I have 300 Kudo Hoichi, 80 Guards, and 50 Ninja Army. I have all assembled. Please give the lord the order."

Oda Nobunaga and Guidie beside him looked at me curiously, "Kudo, tell me how you did it. Most of my messengers should be on the way now. You have already assembled."

‘It’s nothing, because most of the soldiers under him have no land. They only have three days off a month, and they take turns on holidays. Even those with land are cultivated by their families or hired to farm.’

Oda Nobunaga slapped his fan, 'This method is good, just ask the soldiers and farmers to separate them. If there are three thousand soldiers like this, we can launch an attack every year during the busy farming period of the spring and autumn. Is that true?'

"The lord is wise and magical, and the bird is raw fish soup." I slapped it with a flattery technique.

Oda Nobunaga, who was flattered, fainted for a second before he came to his senses, "Okay, this time you will be the pioneer to rescue the three masters of Dao. I will turn around and let Shibata Katsuya peacefully support you." Mrs. Guidie added with red and swollen eyes, "I heard that my uncle and two younger brothers were killed, but please bring my father back no matter what.'

‘Hi.’ I bowed 90° with three retainers and left Tianshou Pavilion.

I rode back to the door of my house again. What was waiting for me was nearly four hundred soldiers who had been waiting for me for a long time. The flag of the Nishiyu family was inserted behind my shoulders and making a loud noise in the wind. When I passed by, I didn't stop, just waved my hand, and all the people began to move regularly and followed my chief generals.

The Japanese iron cannons have too much recoil, while the Japanese horses are thinner, and the Japanese are even thinner. Using iron cannons on horses can shake people away. But this does not prevent them from riding horses as vehicles. In fact, most cavalrymen in this era used horses as vehicles, rather than fighting on horses. Of course, there are not many daimyos who can do this. After all, horses are also extremely expensive strategic materials in Japan. The price of a good horse and the price of future forage is several times higher than buying an iron cannon. Only Echigo, the big gold mine owners of Jiafei dare to equip cavalry in large quantities.

The entire army spared no effort, and the two-hour marching finally reached the border between Ohara and Mino. I stopped slightly and asked the Takenaka Half-Baiwei beside me, "Where is in front?"

‘It’s already Mino, this is Mogu.’ Takenaka Banbingwei wiped his sweat and signaled that he would slow down and rest.

I looked around and said, "It turns out that this is Mogu. It's surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it's about to rush. Why not build a city?"

Takenaka Banbuye said bitterly, "It is because this place is too important to build a city. If the Saito family builds a city, then the Oda family will definitely send troops to make trouble. If the Oda family builds a city here, it means putting a knife on the Saito family's neck. The Saito family will stop it no matter what.'

I nodded, and it was true. In the end, after the Oda family built the city overnight here, they gained an overwhelming advantage over the Saito family. ‘There is water and land here, but the villages and arable land are almost invisible. What a pity.’

Takenaka Banbingwei nodded, and touched the scene and thought of a poem from the Celestial Empire, "Rise, the people suffer, forget, the people suffer. When Mino and Ohachi are truly peaceful, I think this place will be better."

At this time, Ishikawa Wuyoumon came over with a ninja under his command, "Lord, there is news about the three masters of Dao. The three masters of Dao and set up camp in a small fort twenty miles ahead."

I looked at Ishikawa Wuyoumon's subordinates, "Is there any movement in the direction of Inabayama Castle?"

He answered with a helping hand, "The fire is everywhere in the city of Inahashi Mountain. It seems that it is suppressing the rebellion, but an army of 800 people has been sent to pursue the three great men in the city."

Several of us looked at each other and knew that the aftermath of Inayayama Castle had come to an end, otherwise Saito Yoshiro would not have sent so many people.

Takenaka Half-Benwei calculated, "There are 3,000 soldiers in Inabayama Castle, but during the busy farming season, the number here is 30% off. That is, two thousand people, but the three masters took away some of them, about five hundred people, and some were killed by Saito Yoshiro, about one hundred people. Now there are eight hundred people. Now Inabayama Castle is very empty, with only about five or six hundred people."
