Prime Minister Bizen

The Xiu family no longer knew that this was the first time they heard the word "no money" today, and it directly annoyed the Xiu family.

Looking up at Longchuan Zhenqin, the Xiu family saluted very clearly. In fact, Longchuan Zhenqin's handling was appropriate, otherwise the consequences of causing military chaos would be even more unimaginable.

In the end, the Hide family looked helplessly at Takatora Todo and said, "Many famous names in Ou have never seen our military power, so it is the face of my Toyotomi family in Kanto, so it can't be too shabby.

The scope of this enlistment has been expanded, and Hitachi and Shangzong are also included in the list of candidates. The limited recruitment of land servants and other families with families, if it is not possible, they can be found in the arsenals of each city. There must be some in stock. come up.

The matter of the red armor is also easy to handle. The family will come forward and borrow the armor from the Jibei samurai who owns the red armor, and return it after Ou is settled down. After all, I have to report this pass, so that the famous Ou can see me Kanto Toyotomi decent home. "

After finishing speaking, he looked at Osafune Sadakin and said, "I remember that there are still a lot of armored stomachs in the arsenals of Okayama and Toyama, you write a letter to Tachihara Sensei who stayed behind in Okayama, and ask him to sort out the number.

After that, you and Zuo Du will count the number of armored stomachs needed for standing, defending, and preparing in Kanto to see how much difference there is.Let the forging workshop start work as soon as possible, and cast and store no less than 10 armor stomachs in 10 years, of which 7 are ashigaru trunks, and there are 3 collars in the world. "

Hearing that Xiu's family would forge 10 armored stomachs within 10 years, Osafune Zhenqin gasped, "Your Highness, now that the world is flat, you won't need so many armored stomachs, right?"

The Xiu family glanced at him coldly and said, "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. His Highness Guan Bai intends to go to the Ming Dynasty in one year. This is exactly what I'm going to tell you right now.

Since the main family had just moved, and it was firmly responsible for guarding Kanto-Ou, it was allowed to mobilize only 1 people to accompany the army. "

Changchuan Zhenqin still asked in doubt: "We can still make up 1 pawns. There is no need to build 3500 soldiers, right?"

The Xiu family didn't want to get entangled with him on this matter, and directly ordered: "If you want to forge it, you can forge it. I will keep it in reserve. Besides, it will be used for the development of Ezo in the future."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Takatora Fujido, "While the family is preparing the armored stomach, the sword hunting order for the collar will start to be implemented. Especially with the foot and armored stomach, ordinary people are not allowed to hide armors. In the future, armored stomachs will be encountered in war All provided by the home.

Pick out the reclaimed Jiawei. Those that can be refurbished can be directly handed over to the Jiawei Workshop for repair and stored in the warehouse. "

Don't be fooled by the image of armored soldiers falling to the ground with casual slashing with a knife in film and television works. In fact, iron armor has a very high defense against sword slashing.

To kill a samurai in full armor, you can only start from the gap in the stomach of the armor, or use a blunt weapon to hit the miraculous effect, or use armor-piercing arrows or armor-piercing cymbals or guns to pierce the gap between the armor leaves .

Either way, it takes training to cause damage to the wearer.

The most intuitive example is that during the Yellow Turban Rebellion at the end of the Han Dynasty, the reason why the imperial army was able to win more with less, and even more than a thousand officers and soldiers broke the record of more than [-] Yellow Turbans, was because the officers and soldiers had a body armor, and the Yellow Turban army A stomach is a rare item.

If it is true that wearing armor and stomach is a one-shot matter in film and television works, then either there is a problem with the number in historical records, or these Han troops are all Super Saiyans.

Since ancient times, countries have put more control over armor than swords. In China, it’s okay to hide knives and bows in your home, but if you want to talk about Tibetan crossbows and Tibetan armor, no matter one pair or more, they will be punished according to the theory of treason.

"Those who privately forbid weapons are only for one and a half years. One crossbow, plus two grades. One collar and three crossbows, flow two thousand miles. Armor three collars and five crossbows, twist." Meaning: "private possession A pair of armor is equal to three crossbows, and three pairs of armor are directly executed for hiding.

The more famous one is Zhou Yafu, who made outstanding achievements in the Western Han Dynasty. In his later years, he was convicted of treason by Ting Wei for hiding hundreds of armors, and finally died of hunger strike in prison.

In fact, Zhou Yafu bought several hundred pairs of armor to be buried with him, but the quantity is too much. The emperor's nerves.

But Japan is different from the mainland. In Japan, the armored stomach of a samurai is the second life of a samurai. Hideka has no basis for public opinion to confiscate all the armored stomachs of the people. At least the samurai and local servants are called "knife holders." There is no way to collect the class show.

But persimmons always have to be picked soft, right?

The Xiu family had implemented the matter of confiscating the civilian Jiawei when they were in Jibei. At that time, it was under the name of "Yuxiduo Military System", and the "backward" and "useless" civilians were collected in a way that the family would provide in the future. ", "excess" of the first stomach.

Regarding this point, Fujido Gaohu is familiar with the door, and immediately responded: "Yes"

After talking about A, the Xiu family looked at Osafune Zhenqin and said, "It's still a matter of armaments. The family sent 1.35 troops in the Korean War, and according to the requirements, we need to deploy no less than 1000 iron cannons.

But the family still needs to prepare the first ships and their corresponding sailors and armaments.His Highness Guan Bai meant that the iron cannons should be widely equipped on large ships (Anzhai), and the family should prepare 47 large ships, each with 50 iron cannons, which means 1700.

Moreover, it is impossible for the 1.35 people in the family to have only 1000 iron cannons. In any case, no less than 2000 iron cannons should be prepared, and the reserve doubles the iron cannons, which is 1 iron cannons including the fleet.

I have already done the calculation for you. Based on the average price of 20 guan, it is 9.8 guan.

The good news is that the fleet’s 1700 iron cannons will be cast by ourselves first, and will be purchased by Guan Bai in the end. I asked about the price of Katagiri, and it seems that it will cost 30 to 35 guns per cannon. "

Speaking of Xiujia's body leaning forward slightly, he approached several people under his command and said, "If possible, you can forge more, and then sell him 2500 sticks, and he will come back with 9 sticks."

Hearing Hideka's half-joking words, Osafune Sada was not happy, he thought for a moment and said, "Sagami has some iron cannon workshops and armor workshops left by the Hojo family.

Since Jibei is stored by some armor stomachs, there is no rush in a short time.Some armor-making blacksmiths can learn to forge iron cannons together. It is no problem for one craftsman to make two in a month. "

Hearing that a craftsman can only build 1 poles in a month, Xiujia clapped his hands angrily and reminded, "Assembly line, assembly line, just like in Jibei."

After hearing this, Nasafune Sadaqin replied, "His Royal Highness is mainly in charge of coordinating domestic affairs, and may not know much about the actual operation.

Even if the other accessories of the iron cannon are subcontracted to others for final assembly, the casting of the most important iron barrel of the iron cannon will not exceed 5 barrels per month for one craftsman.

Calculated in this way, one craftsman can produce 1 iron cannons in one year, and no less than 1 craftsmen are needed to complete the casting of 60 iron cannons.If we don't have enough people, we can ask some blacksmiths to help out temporarily.

The current problem is that there are not enough people to subcontract the running water. Most of the special carpenters who make the backwood have gone to Yanfu City and the river for renovation.Next year will be a time when the project will be tight again, and the parts of the assembly line may not be able to keep up with the speed of casting iron barrels. "

"Carpenters are definitely not enough, and they have to go to various places to recruit apprentices. Our family is required to prepare 47 large ships and 47 medium ships, and they must be completed within one year.

His Highness Kanbai issued a death order, and all ships and sailors must be concentrated in the ports of Settsu, Harima, and Izumi in the spring of the 20th year of Tensho (1592). "

After the Xiu family finished saying this, the hall fell into a strange silence, and even Chang Chuan Zhenqin was flushed from the suffocation, one can imagine how helpless he is at the moment.

"Actually, it's not that difficult." Seeing that everyone fell silent, Fujido Takatora said from the side, "The most indispensable closed ships for the Okayama Navy and the Yin Yu Navy, the 47 ships required can definitely be assembled, that is, the Anzhai ships are a bit small. That's all.

But this is not our problem. It is a fact that the Anzhai boat is not suitable for long-distance travel because of the ocean-going trade of our family. The long-distance ships we built with reference to the Karak sailboat and the Fuchuan are more suitable for trading and sailing than the Anzhai boat. "

"Hojo's shipbuilding workshops in Sagami Miura, Musashi Edo, and Kamiso Chiba should be well preserved. Especially the Miura Shipyard, which is the largest shipyard of the Hojo family and the station of the Sagami Navy.

If it is really necessary to build a ship, as long as the materials are sufficient, there should be no problem in building three large ships at the same time within a three-month construction period. "

As he said that, he turned his head to look at Hideo and Osafune Sadakin and continued, "The most important thing now is to count how many Anzhai boats the Okayama Navy and Yin Yu Navy have in total, and the difference can be used by Okayama, Yin Yu, Miura, and Chiba , Edo, and many shipbuilding workshops started working together.

Especially the Okayama Port, now the family is still transferring the seal of Kanto from Kibi, His Highness Guanbai did not deal with Kibi initially, we can take this opportunity to order Kibi's shipyard to build an house ship. "

Todo Takatora’s voice was not finished, but Hideka refused to stop and signaled to stop, “Okayama can’t start the construction of Antaka, that’s the most important port for us to imitate Fufusen and Clark. Craftsmen and ships must be brought down to Chiba. Stay here. The man-made ship is okay, but it is really difficult for them to build an house ship."

"But you are right. The most important thing now is to count the number of ships. I don't know if you have thought about it. His Highness Guan Bai gave us a time limit of just over one year, but it takes more than two years to dry the pine wood for shipbuilding.

I believe that not only our family has encountered such a problem, that is to say, the ship itself is only a ferry, and it is impossible to meet the material requirements of warships in the past.

Mamoru Misaku, this matter is still left to you, you are in charge of 'people', now that the family lacks craftsmen, then mobilize the original shipbuilders to develop apprentices, and encourage the surrounding villagers to work in various workshops.

We can also draw inferences from one example, the previous problems of iron cannon output and sufficient output should be alleviated to a certain extent. "

"No matter how you say it, it's all heavy physical work, but forging and carpentry are delicate jobs that need to be done by people with flexible minds. There may be conflicts between people's hands, but the impact should not be great."

After finishing speaking, he said to Osafune Sadakin and Fujido Takatora like many people who will fool people in later generations, "You have to work hard during this period. When I come back from Ou, I will discuss the matter of supplementing the elders. Your meritorious service I see everything in my eyes, and I won’t lose your kindness in the future.”

"The most important thing for this battle in Ouyu is the preparation of woolen goods and straw sandals. Frostbite is the most feared thing in the winter march. I purchased some along the way in Tōkaidō, and I will pack them all up and take them to Ouyu.

During this period of time, Misaku is looking for people to go to various places in Kanto to purchase a batch. At least 6000 people must be prepared to walk in the snow in winter. "

Perhaps because he was afraid that he would say that he had no money again, Xiujia said first, "When I came from Kyoto, His Royal Highness Guan Bai paid 5 guan for the army, and the Minister of the Interior gave him another 10 guan loan.

Now that the autumn harvest is over, the autumn grain should have been harvested.Those who went south from Ezo to trade should have gone to Okayama long ago. The Okayama treasury should be the most abundant time, so don't tell me that you have no money. "

"Ten days and a half months at most, my family and everyone will be the first group of people who migrated from Okayama, Misaku will be in charge of receiving them."

"Yes" came to hold a small meeting, and there were already several pieces of paper written in the notebook that Mrs. Nagakawa carried with her, and she hesitated to speak a few times during the meeting.

Looking at his graying hair, the Xiu family felt a little distressed.After deliberating for a long time, I still opened my mouth and said to him, "Mizuo and Yin Yu are now the most trustworthy retainers left by my father.

Now the younger generation in the family has not yet grown up, and they can't be alone.Now Meizuo lives in the temple, Yinyu is in the place, and the erotic palace and Tanzheng are hidden in the wild. It is the time for the two of you to cooperate sincerely to help the family.

I have written to Ezo, summoning Commander Dazai to go south to inquire about Ezo affairs.I sent Captain Saemon (Osafune Tsunao) to Ezo to experience his ideas. If he is effective in Ezo, I might promote him to Governor of Ezo after Dai Dazai leaves. "

After saying that, he walked up to him, patted his sign language and said earnestly, "Misaku, please take care of me for a few more years. When my nephews and nephews grow up, I will let you rest at ease and enjoy the family relationship with your grandchildren. "

The Xiu family had already said so much, what else could Chang Chuan Zhenqin do.In particular, he moved out his own sons and said that he should focus on training, even if Changchuan Zhenqin complained, he could only swallow it.

"The ability of the dog is mediocre, and it is really his blessing to be so valued by His Highness." Changchuan Zhenqin bowed solemnly to the Xiu family and said, "Since Your Highness values ​​old age so much, let the old minister learn from the Three Kingdoms school." Zhuge Wuhou. "Bow as hard as you can, and die before you."

After hearing this, Fujido Takahu and Osafune Sadako shook their heads helplessly. Who let such a lord stand on the table, so they could only agree with each other.

Changchuan Zhenqin asked the Xiu family again, "Your Highness, the civil construction of Yanfu City is about to start, where should His Highness's evidence be moved?"

It wasn't until Osafune Sadakin reminded that the Hide family realized that the scale of the overhaul of Iwafu Castle had exceeded the blueprint, so there was no need to implement the original plan to modify the Iwafu Castle Honmaru.

Hideka thought for a moment and said, "I remember that Kawagoe Castle has always been under my direct jurisdiction. Before Iwafujo Castle Honmaru is completed, my family and I will temporarily live in Kawagoe."

After a day of communication, he finally explained the recent and recent things. He also informed his two beautiful wives and his family members on the way back, telling them to go directly to Heyue and make some renovations in advance. .

After all, the major reconstruction of Iwafu Castle is unlikely to be completed even if the Honmaru is built within a year and a half. It is very likely that he will have to live in Kawagoe before the Korean War.
