44. It's time to award merit awards

Another day later, after handling all the affairs, the materials in Nimata Castle were counted, especially after reserved enough food, left a small gaze to guard Nimata Castle, and ordered the expansion of the water storage pool and the addition of water storage barrels, Yamauchi's army retreated to Tianlong River.

The place where the floating bridge was originally built temporarily was unanimously valued by Yamanuchi. Ejiri Castle was ordered to formally build a solid wooden and stone bridge. After all, the east bank of the Tianlong River now has territory and branch cities, and stable transportation and streets must be established.

Some ignorant and short-sighted people do not pay attention to the importance of a complete road network, but the three worldly people, Takeda Shingen, Imakawa Yoshimoto and other daimyos who have the world's vision, tried their best to improve the road bridges within their territories. The roads reach the places where their authority is covered, from the towns of Chateau and the towns of villages to the treasurys of villages, they all managed to connect them. In the 16th century, the goal of opening up every village was almost achieved. Even if the roads opened up this village were just flat mud roads, the narrowest was only three or four meters wide.

In short, there are many things to deal with after the war, fortunately, there were no losses for many soldiers in this joint battle, and the capture was very abundant, which was a happy ending for everyone.

When they arrived outside Ejiri Castle, all the people recruited by Ejiri were distributed rice balls and a little reward and then disbanded on the spot. They had already achieved their feudal military obligations this year. If the lords were recruited, they would be exempted from tribute on a large scale, and they would be exempted from tribute and charity. This is a burden that many poor lords Daming cannot bear, so this year, it is probably possible that the Yamauchi clan will not fight another war.

The samurai samurai samurai followed the military station set up by Koheita and returned to Yamanui with a full meal and went home to harvest rice with rewards. This year, I believe the entire Yamanui will be very happy, and the large-scale mobilization of the entire territory will make every household profit in this joint battle. The situation this year is very good, and there are no earthquakes, typhoons, and no floods and droughts. Yamanui Yoshiji can store a lot of money, rice and grain to deal with the war that has not happened next year.

After returning to the city, Yamauchi Yoshiji wanted to have a banquet for the generals as usual, and rewarded them according to their merits. Konishihara Saemon Konishihara was awarded a hundred knots of Yamauchi village with his great achievements. Uncle Tsunara was promoted to a general of the flag and was given a bonus of 50 knots of the taxi. (52 skills + 100 marrying a daughter + 50 entering Beijing to contact all the names + 50 Imakawa Hokkaido's battle to make meritorious contributions = 252 knots of the flag and to record it to prevent forgetting)

The first two major players who made contributions are over, and it is Xiaopingta's turn soon. Xiaopingta said it was fake that he was not excited. His identity has been changed to a samurai, and the samurai's contribution will not be ignored or embezzled. There is a chance to climb further.

Sitting quietly on the lower head, Xiaoping thought happily: "I will be busy with nearly 10,000 people for you, and the military rations will not be scarce. At least I will give me one village. Even if there is not a village, half a village is OK, and I am not greedy. Half a village is also a piece of meat, so I can accept it."

As a result, Hosokawa Harumami said that Koheita promised to give his military rations to his best rewards for twenty kanwen. However, he participated in the surprise attack and killed a member of the Imakawa samurai (Master Tsuna Okamura), transferred to the samurai group, and was granted the military position of the samurai uncle Tsuna, and obtained the military position of the samurai samurai. However, he was still obeying the official position of the samurai samurai under the leadership of the samurai university. (It was equivalent to officially changing from a minister to a minister to a minister and directly responsible for Yoshiji Yamauchi, so he naturally lost his identity as the samurai uncle Tsuna and his position)

Xiaopingtai, whose face was flushed, all of his original expectations were vague. What the hell, Xiaopingtai really didn't react, so he didn't sleep all night and set fire everywhere, and changed from an outsourcing dispatch worker to a formal contract worker. But he actually rewarded twenty cents of money in charge of the logistics of 10,000 people in the army?

OK, I understand, military merit is the most expensive, and I will receive any rewards for any military merit.

This has something to do with the short distance between the war during this period (usually within 200 kilometers), the short war time (the three time periods mentioned above are only a few months each time), and the scale of the war is not large (basically thousands of people, which is 20,000 to 30,000, but it won’t take long to take place a large battle of more than 100,000 people).

This is also related to the composition of the army. There are about 10,000 troops. Among them, the most elite flag book and horse warriors are about 1,200, and the four or five hundred people belonging to the flag book. Then the low-level ordinary warriors and rich peasants who are not inferior to the samurai are at most seven or eight hundred. In this way, the most elite dare to fight is 1,500, and there are about 2,500 people. In addition to a small number of regular snacks, most of them are armed by peasants with an annual income of more than 5 stadiums. There are also 1,500 reserved snacks, which are the few who have poor financial resources and can supplement the losses of the troops. Then the remaining 4,500 remaining soldiers in this army are basically useless, all of them are grooms, lotus packs, formation husbands, people, small ones, flag holders, even prayers, monks, medicine masters, etc.

More than 40% of the entire army can be used as logistics personnel. When the army set off, it rushed forward and carried all the supplies and rations. The Japanese didn't eat much, and even if there was no logistics, they could take care of the 10,000 troops for a month, let alone the robbery of other people's territory.

So until modern times, Japan's logistics and engineers were also the worst and least proud gathering places for bad people in the army. There are exceptions, as far as Koheita knows, there was only one case. At that time, the last one in the Navy was named Izuru Yamamoto and the first one was named Tadaichi Nakamoto. As a result, we won't say much, fearing harmony.

During the Warring States Period, only from the time after Nobunaga to Yuan and Yanwu, large-scale troops of more than 100,000 or even 300,000 people were often mobilized, and long-distance wars were launched for Kyushu, Odawara, and Oshu. Only in this way, were good at logistics talents and were able to be listed in the military merit books by transferring military rations, and were eventually rewarded for the knowledge and actions that were passed down from generation to generation.

At this time, a person's greatest contribution on the battlefield is a gun, a spear and a spear. They are the most courageous and the most powerful in combat, the first to climb to the city to break the city defense, and the first to obtain the head of an enemy warrior with a name.

The one who is listed in the military merit book is to seek the title of Okamatsu Tsuna. Okamatsu Tsuna is a samurai with a status. He is ranked among the Imakawa Banner and his family background is also very prominent. Because of Koheita's own hard work, he was able to join the ranks of the samurai directly under the Banner. This was indeed an honor for the people at that time. It was also worthy of his contribution to his bravery in killing the enemy.

As for the contributions made in negotiating and persuading the surrender of Ermata City, it is also added.
