Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 558 Kwantung Military System Reform

"No money~"

"No money!"

"No money."

I don’t know that since the above time, this word has become the most frequently spoken word by the Toyotomi family in Kanto during the evaluation.

Obviously, when watching various movies and TV works before time travel, the protagonist's policy only has a matter of time to implement, and there has never been a problem with funds. How come when I travel through the Warring States period by myself, I have been "no money" every day for the past few years?

In the end, the Xiu family had no choice but to compromise: "The spring of the new year is about to start, but the spring in the Kanto area is about one and a half months later than in Kyushu, so take advantage of this time to recruit some migrant workers to renovate the Arakawa in the Yanfu city section.

A flood discharge area is reserved in the east of Arakawa to prevent the flood from rushing into the Iwafu City construction site this summer.Let's build the main city of Iwafu City first, and the outer pill will be postponed for the time being.

The diversion of the Asama River and the Sumida River can only be started after the construction of Iwafuzhu Guo is completed. The work on the lower reaches of the Tone River and the Ueno flood discharge belt must be completed before the spring plowing, and the rest of the project will be generalized after the autumn harvest. "

"When I was in Odawara, I looked at the progress of the Odawara Castle. Before this year's spring plowing, the stone screen should be roughly completed, and the stone wall of Sannomaru can be mostly completed.

After spring plowing, we will do our best to ensure spring plowing, and all projects will be suspended.When summer is used as maintenance work, try to meet 50% of the manpower for each project.

Anyway, it is impossible to repair the river in summer, so temporarily put the manpower for repairing the river on Yanfu to build the city, and speed up the progress of Yanfu's city. "

Hideka told the elders present what he saw in Odawara Castle, and then asked Osafune Sadakin, "How is the progress of the destruction of other cities? There are a lot of building materials in those cities that can be reused in Iwazuki. In the city, a lot of expenses can be saved.”

Osafune Sadakin heard the question and replied: "Currently, Narita Clan Head and Doi Kiyoshi and the two adults are in charge of breaking the castle. Doi-sama is in charge of the Upper Soso and Lower Soso, and the Narita Clan Nagaden is in charge of Ueno and Saitama. .

I asked Masanari Hanabou to take care of the fortification order in Sagami's territory when he was in charge of Odawara. Musashi was handed over to Sho Naoki, Shimono was handed over to Shimizu Shinya, and Hitachi was handed over to Okamoto Hidehiro.

All three of them were born as servants of His Highness, and some of them have managed in their own domain for several years, and some have studied and practiced in the old joint association and the execution office for several years. The trivial matter of breaking the city can now be released to practice . "

The Xiu family didn't object to Changchuan Zhenqin using his attendants to break the city, as he said, they have knowledge and experience, what they lack now is a unified practice.

Changchuan Zhenqin knows the lord of his family very well. Although his ideas are wild and unconstrained, he has to admit that there are indeed many ideas that benefit the country and the people, but they cannot be implemented due to the economic strength of the territory.

And Xiujia is just a practical person, he will handle things according to reality. Simply put, he has a lot of ideas, but he will always compromise for money. It is a blessing in the collar to have such a protagonist who does not blindly enter projects.

After discussing the construction of Yanfu City, the destruction of cities and rivers in various places, the Xiu family turned their attention to Changshu Zhengjia again, "Master Changshu, I am going to Kanto this time, but I will help you speak well in front of Guan Bai." A few words, and for this, I won the official position of Daisuke Daizo for you.

His Highness Guan Bai has shown mercy and transferred you from Yu Li to an accompanying minister. From now on, you will be a retainer of my Kanto Toyotomi family, and you will officially be a minister with them.

I have already decided to give you 1.2 Shi Andu in Biqi County. There used to be a Songshan City there, but it was among the broken cities. You can set up the mansion in Yanfu and join me directly. "

The Nagatsu Masakaya in this time and space is different from the history. In history, he was discovered by Hideyoshi when he was in charge of military rations in Kyushu, and he has been entrusted with important tasks since then.

And in this life, he was just Hideyoshi's servant, and before Hideyoshi discovered his talents, he was asked by the Hideyoshi family to go to Okayama to participate in the city building.

Now Changshu Zhengjia has followed Hideyoshi for more than 4 years, and gradually alienated from Hideyoshi, so it is naturally impossible to get promotion and awards from Hideyoshi.

Now that I heard that I was transferred by Hideyoshi to serve the Xiu family, the Changshu Zhengjia did not show any special surprises, and the Xiujia directly gave him the identity of Wanshi Daimyo. Please rest assured that I will serve you with all my heart.”

The Xiu family was very satisfied with his loyalty to him in such a sense of current affairs, and immediately said to him, "The matter of the land inspection must be paid close attention to, and the inspection of the land must be completed before the end of next year."

"Kayi, most of the prefectures in Ueno and Saitama have been completed now, and the remaining subjects will continue to work hard."

Hideya nodded and looked at Todo Takatora to ask about the establishment of military service accounts and the establishment of each reserve team.

Fujido Takatora replied, "Compared with the inspection area, the preparation of military service accounts is faster. Now the preliminary screening work of various countries has been completed, and the books are being compiled according to the population, and wooden cards to prove identity are issued.

Now the formation of the standing team is still in progress. According to Ning's intention, it will be formed by Jibei Samurai and Kanto Samurai. Now the preparation has been completed, which is the Chibei team that you are particularly concerned about.

According to what you mean, the reserve teams of each country's sub-counties are formed by Jibei samurai and Kanto samurai in a ratio of 1:2. The backbone team of officers is formed first, and then they will be trained together with the standing army.After the backbone team has finished training, each reserve team will be issued to fill the local ashigaru formation in the Kanto region.

Now that the backbone of sergeants has been established, they will train together with the standing staff in the next year. It is expected that all training will be completed before the autumn harvest and issued to each reserve team for training.

About standing ashigaru According to your requirements, you must be in good health and clean. After enlisting in the military, the tax on the family's output will be halved, and you will be sent home for 3 months every year to help the field for spring plowing and autumn harvesting.

After your preferential policy was issued, many ruthless people signed up, but because it involves the preparation of military service accounts and changing the place of origin, it is only half completed now, and I will work harder to ensure that it is completed before the spring plowing.

The training task of Ashgaru for each sub-county has not yet started, because a few adults have to destroy the castle, Odawara ruined castle, river renovation, and Iwafu castle maintenance have to go to a lot of people, this task of military training may be a bit difficult up. "

The so-called "red reserve team" is Hideka's name for the red reserve team formed by Sanada Nobushige Ueno, Saitama, and Shimono Samurai. This is a new trump card army in Hideka's hands, with a total of 2000 people.

In order to improve the organization of the Kanto military, Xiujia distributed all the 1.2 people that Xiujia originally brought to the Kanto to various neighboring countries. Complete the change of Kwantung Army system.

When the Xiu family rewarded these people wantonly, they didn't know that they had rewarded the samurai with knowledge and knowledge, and even granted the status of samurai to all the previous ashigaru.

Stimulated by such rewards, some of the ashigaru and samurai who were originally unwilling to transfer the Gengxiu family also chose to stay. The samurai group that the Hideka finally stayed in the Kanto had a total of 1.6 people.

The standing reserve will use 4000 people, of which only the red reserve team will use 1000 people. It can be said that half of a red reserve team is prepared warriors, and most of them will be in the three infantry battalions.

In addition, there are Banners and Gomotos who are not included in the standing system. Gomotos have been expanded to 2500 people, including 1500 Kibi samurai and 1000 Kanto samurai.

There are 1000 people in the banner, half of the Kanto and half of the Jibei warriors.

The Red Army, Goben Fanzhong, and Banabanzong are different from other standing and directly governed troops. Even ordinary sergeants in these three reserve teams are from warriors or local servants, and civilians cannot enter the establishment at all. It can be said that they are formed by a pure samurai The reserve team, its future combat effectiveness is even more different from that of ordinary troops.

"I decided that the title of directly-administered equipment is not appropriate. In the past, these prepared teams that were reorganized according to the division of counties were mainly the territories under my direct control, so they were called directly-administered equipment.

But later, even the territory under your command was reorganized, and it is obviously inappropriate to call it a direct-administered preparation.In the Kanto reorganization, many people's territories crossed states and even counties, and it is obviously inappropriate to continue to reorganize in units of counties.

But in the barracks and in battle, the soldiers are most likely to trust their fellow countrymen.It's just that there will be more engineering projects in the territory than combat operations in the next few years, and the proportion of people from various countries will not be too much.

Therefore, I want to prepare the preparation team with the leading country as a unit, organize and train with the leading country as a unit. Of course, the ashigaru of each sub-county in the leading country should be arranged together as much as possible.

Now that there is a standing reserve, and their main task is to assist the garrison in managing the security situation in various places, let's call these troops formed during wartime the garrison.

The so-called garrison requires them to spend 3 months a year in the military camps of various countries for training, and the training time is rotated by the garrison captains.

The garrison adopts a rotation system, and each person serves for 3 months a year, and they serve in the country of their competence, and they do not leave the country for nothing.During his service, apart from daily training, he was responsible for the guarding of the neighboring countries.The food for their training and defense for three months will be provided by the family according to the military rations. "

After finishing speaking, he looked at Changchuan Zhenqin and said, "You and Zuo Du are on the same page. Those who are assigned to the garrison will still be recruited, but the time will be staggered, and they will be given 15 cash per day when they are recruited.

Once you encounter spring plowing, summer cropping, and autumn harvesting, and the garrison is serving in the army, you will be in charge of other farmers on the land and give priority to farming their land.Remember, I am talking about priority farming, that is, until his field is finished farming, other people's fields in the township and village cannot start. "

The reason why the Xiu family did this is very simple. In this agricultural society, soldiers who are half-military and half-civilian like the garrison are most worried about the harvest on the field during their service.

Now that the Xiu family has made such a guarantee, they can serve with peace of mind during these busy farming seasons.

After the Xiu family finished speaking, he looked at Fujido Gaohu and said, "Zuodu will work hard, recruiting members of the defense at the standard of 200 people per ten thousand stones. I have already entrusted Mingshidian to be responsible for Yin Yu's side. According to the existing form, the eight states of the Kanto High, with a garrison of 34 men."

"In addition to the defense, 350 people per 10 shi are used as a standard for training and preparation. The so-called preparation will not be recruited until the time of the national war. There are 15 days of training in the two seasons, and a total of 40 days in the whole year.

The spring and autumn training is self-prepared, and the summer and winter training is carried out in accordance with the garrison. The food is also provided according to the military rations. There is no special preferential treatment during general recruitment, and there is no labor subsidy for the self-preparation of food.

I did a rough calculation, and it is estimated that there will be 171 reserve soldiers in the eight prefectures of the Kanto with a height of 6 million shi. "

"If someone comes to ask, you will say that the preparation is only for the purpose of unifying and strengthening the body of the people in the territory, and it is not included in the army's establishment."

This was planned by the Xiu family before. There are about 1.3 standing troops in the eight prefectures of the Kanto region. Including the Goben Fanzhong, Banabazhong, and Firearms Battalion, the total standing troops directly under the Xiu family are about 1.6.

Coupled with the 3.4 half-cultivation and half-war garrison, 6 have a certain military quality foundation, and the preparations for mobilization when a national war is needed, the total strength of the Xiu family in the eight states of Kanto will reach 11.

Of course, this is a very extreme mobilization of troops. Only when the eight states of Kanto are invaded will so many people be mobilized.

Hideka predicts that even if the Battle of Sekigahara occurs, Hideka will mobilize the most standing, garrison, and part of the reserve force in the eight states of Kanto, with a total force of 8 to 9 troops, which is equivalent to the Tokugawa's historical troop deployment.

But don't forget that there are other people in Kanto who are responsible for guarding the territory after he leaves, so the actual mobilization force of Hideka is definitely more than that of Tokugawa Ieyasu in history.

Yin Yu has 17 shi in his territory, and there is no standing garrison. There is only a garrison team of 3500 people formed according to the ratio. After four quarters, there are only 1000 people.

There are 6 important cities in Yin Yuguo, and each city has a share of hundreds of households. This makes Yin Yu have to join some reserve soldiers to cooperate with the defense. The actual mobilization number reached 2000.

After all, this place is relatively close to Hideyoshi's main city, Osaka, so it is not suitable for the existence of a strong military force.

But Xiujia is not worried, as Xiujia still has a secret weapon in his hands.

Don't forget that in Yin Yu's Xinbang and Beszi, there are two standing troops that are not part of the Xiujia army, each with 800 people, namely the coinage garrison team and the Tongshan garrison team.

No way, both Besko and Shinhama are too important. One has the largest copper mine in Japan, and the other has the largest mint in Kansai. In order to prevent workers from hiding their belongings and taking them out, a certain proportion of them must be kept here. guard.

These two backup teams are actually under the name of the Besshi Copper Mountain Development Association, which Hideyoshi, Hideyoshi, and Hidecho jointly hold shares in. The formation of the standing defense team was also chartered by Hideyoshi.

The main idea of ​​the following Ting Yixiu family is how to implement their own laws and military system in Kansai in the eight states of Kanto.It's already noon after chatting.

Xiujia then asked them to go back to have their lunch and then continue the meeting in the afternoon.However, when everyone was leaving, Xiujia deliberately stopped Fujido Gaohu to stay.

After everyone had left, the Xiu family said, "I plan to cancel the two iron artillery battalions in the firearms center directly under my family's direct control, and all the soldiers of the reserve team will be incorporated into each standing reserve to supplement the firepower of each reserve team.

In the future, each reserve team will have an iron artillery brigade with no less than 100 people. The iron artillery team is independent of each battalion. Therefore, both the standing and the garrison will be expanded to 1600 people.

原来的火器备全部改为炮备,编制依旧为2000人,分为3个炮营,一个骑营,每炮个营有1个连队守备队和3个大队的炮队。其中两个大队各装备6门6磅小金炮队,1个大队为12磅大金炮队。装备6门12磅炮。

The horses in the cavalry battalion are different from the standing cavalry. Except for a company of iron cannon cavalry warriors, the remaining 300 people are mainly responsible for the maintenance of the full team's pack horses.I want to mount the cannon on wooden wheels and be led by pack horses so that it can be maneuvered quickly.

I will give you the specific regulations later. The artillery camp is not in Iwafu, but in the Zuo Cang of Xiazong.I purposely sealed Yanwa Jiuhu in Zuo Cang just to allow the artillery team to develop secretly, and my artillery foundry will be built there in the future.

Different from ordinary iron cannon workshops, this matter must be kept completely secret, so you must do it yourself. "

Fujido Takatora, who had seen the power of Xiujia's artillery, quickly understood what Xiujia meant, nodded and said, "Leave this matter to me, and I will definitely keep it strictly confidential."

Then he said half-jokingly, "Your Highness is always pounding and pounding. I am really not used to addressing it. This is the name of the southern barbarians. Can we change it to our local name?"
