Chapter 5 Seven Warriors and Seven Practices

After asking about our other talents, Oda Nobunaga decided to leave Takigawa Ichie as Naoshi, responsible for the intelligence work of the Oda family. It is not necessary to look at the key points of the work, but also to know that it is the Imakawa family in the east, the Kitada family in the west, and the Isaacun group monks. Takigawa Ichie did not come by himself, and he has more than a dozen Koga Shinin under his command. As for Takigawa himself, he abandoned the identity of Koga Ninja and came to the Oda family to apply for a job. According to Takigawa Ichie's words, this is moving from darkness to light.

As for my talents, I have more. Although my martial arts are average and I don’t know the ninjutsu of Takigawa Ichiyi, I know a little about astronomy, geography, various schools of thought, numerology, calendar, poetry, songs and essays. But there are also disadvantages, that is, my research is not deep enough.

"As a Confucian general." Nobunaga knocked his palm with a fan and pondered: "Well, Seiichi, you can follow Migoro first, and have a monthly salary of five stones. If you have any questions, ask Migoro." Five stones of rice can be exchanged for five taels of gold.

"Yes. Lord." Seeing Niba Nagahide waved to me from behind, I followed me.

At this time, Oda Nobunaga called Fanxiu, the tie behind him and threw the long-barrel iron cannon I presented to him, "Fanxiu, practice the iron cannon well. From now on, you will lead the iron cannon team built by our family."

Takyu Fanxiu is the son of Takyu Masahide Oda Nobunaga. Takyu Masahide two years ago because Oda Nobunaga was idle. Takyu, who was in his sixties, used the blood of his septiles to persuade his students. Nobunaga learned that his teacher was very sad after he died, and since then he has made a big change in handling political affairs. It is no longer the rumored Eight Banners child two years ago. Takyu Fanxiu also filled the road to promotion because of the sword before his father's death, and was also trusted and cared for Oda Nobunaga. Last year, after the Yuanfu service, he was directly promoted to the general of the Football League. We can only say that the old man Takyu made a profit.

"The tied family has been blessed with the lord for generations, and Fanxiu can only do her best to repay her death." Fanxiu knew that Nobunaga handed over the iron cannon team to the person he trusted the most. After all, such powerful force and expensive weapons cannot be handed over to an outsider. Moreover, since his father's death, His Highness Nobunaga no longer wears strange clothes, and it is easier to listen to the advice of his retainers, and his irritable temper has also improved. The number of hunting has also dropped from seven or eight times a month to two or three times.

At this time, I was asking Ninoha Nagahikawa about evaluation and other matters.

"Shengyi, have you participated in the assessment before?" Niba Nagahide asked cordially.

I shook my head, "Mr. Nishiyu, this is my first time in office."

"Oh." Ninoha Nagahide nodded, "Then let me start from the beginning. Evaluation is to record the achievements of the generals fairly. You think that on the battlefield, a warrior kills an enemy and kills ten enemies, will he always get a reward for each enemy. Is it the same? The same is true for internal affairs. An internal affairs master can use a one-month money for two-month money. The essence of the evaluation is to clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments. For example, if you buy a thousand-month horse at the tail box, you can only buy twenty inferior horses, and you can only record a strong and disappointing or not worth mentioning during the evaluation. When you go to the Hokuriku, you can buy thirty horses, so that you can write a sentence of hard work on the evaluation. If you can buy fifty BMWs and good horses, I think even the lord would have to boast about it. When evaluating, you should write a great contribution."

Speaking of this, Nishiba Chang showed off his topic, "How about it, do you want to take on an internal affairs task? The winter training is about to be done. Material storage is still very scarce. I heard that you know how to multiply the nine-nine times table, so you must be a good master in internal affairs."

"Mr. Nishiyu, I'll ask my retainers about the task first." Nishiyu Nagahide is also a master of internal affairs, and I don't know how much better than me in this regard. After all, my 99 multiplication table was exchanged for blood and tears from elementary school. It's no less difficult than Yugong moving mountains or Kuafu chasing the sun. It's really a good person, too late, and before graduation.

"Yeah, that's fine. You just came here, let's get to know the Li family first. Take Kudo Xingichi to the Castle Works Department to get a house and help him settle his family." Danwu pointed at the Maeda Tatsuya who came over and turned to me and said, "This is the number one master of the Oda family's gun technique. The Lord of the Arachiko City, the general of the Maeda Tatsuya, now leads the lord's Qizhu team."

I watched the samurai in fiery red armor bow and bow and said, "It turned out to be the famous Gun Sect. I have been looking for the reputation of the Lord of the Ri family for a long time."

Li Jia helped me up, "You are kind to you, Lord Kudo. Today I saw two of you're the iron cannon skills that refresh me."

After the two of them praised me back and forth, the Li family took me to the Ministry of Industry, walked the procedures, and took me to a big mansion. "From the future, this will be Lord Kudo's new home in Kiyosu Castle. Lord Kudo can bring his family and retainers to live there."

"What a big house." After walking around, I found that there are more than 40 rooms in this house, and it is enough to live in thirty or fifty people. It is not a problem to squeeze into two hundred people.

"This is the house left by my eldest brother Riku before he became a monk." Maeda Taki said with emotion.

"Oh." I responded, not sure what to say.

Maeda Taki suddenly asked, "Master Kudo, do you have a retainer named Jinson Changjin?"

"Yes." I said wonderingly, "How do you know? He is recruiting retainers for me outside."

The Maeda Taki suddenly knelt in front of me, "Please take good care of my nephew Keiji. This is a little bloodline of my elder brother Riku."

After saying this, I was confused. When I helped the Maeda Taki family up, the Rie family gave me a letter. I read it and realized it. This is a letter from Maeda Kyoji to the Rie family from Inoguchi Town. It said that he was recruited by Kinson Nagaki, a subordinate of Kudo, and he would return to the end soon. He had a good salary. It is a model of the family's money and little trouble. Don't worry about it. My father, Rieki, has become a monk and lives a good life in Kyoto. Please don't worry about it.

Seeing that the Warring States Period's No. 1 Strange Singer was actually recruited by Jin Sen Changjin, I was so excited. I patted my chest and said, "Don't worry, Lord Ri family." That's enough, otherwise it would be an exchange promotion. It would be bad to reach His Highness Nobunaga's ears. Only then did I realize that my newly appointed stern head could live in such a big house, because the Maeda Tatsu family wanted to hand over this house to live in the day before yesterday. Let's just give him two rooms.

The business at the port was handed over to Baixiang Jiajia. In addition to being impeccable in loyalty, this guy also has some talent in linguistics. After several exchanges with sailors on the ship these days, as well as my teachings, he could already trade with whaling ships in simple English and Arabic numerals. Other retainers, including Maeda Genie, Kinson Changjin, and the seven samurai and his family, and more than 100 people, lived in the old house of Maeda Keiji. Out of care for Kinson, he was given three rooms he had lived in before.

The seven samurai recruited by Kinson Naga was: Keiji Maeda, 20 years old. Harao Nagato was retired from his father, Leku, and he went to Kyoto to wander with his father. He was very skilled in martial arts and liked novel things. You can tell from his dress that his clothes were much more fashionable than the current Nobunaga Oda. He had bell-bottom pants and closed sleeves. In this feudal era, it should be said that it was alternative. Keiji Maeda had several retainers who had always followed his father Leku, and they also accepted them.

Nobutsu Ueno was 35 years old. Ueno's people were armed gangs organized by peasants. They were usually hired by Daming to fight, and there were evil parties who came to play bandits. For example, the famous Beesuka Koji, who was later famous Beesuka, was a famous bandit in Mino Country in the Warring States Period. However, this Yasuzuka Nobutsu was the number one sword saint in Japan, and martial arts and military tactics were not to be chosen. This time, Ueno taught the general Ashikaga Ikki's martial arts and military tactics, and was moved by Kinson Nagajin on the way back to Ueno. In addition to military tactics, Nobutsu himself was a top-notch master in horse battles and infantry battles. Unexpectedly, Kinson Nagajin Hayashi recruited the sword saint in one step. This time, Ueno Nobutsu brought thirty-five Chinese people, and his martial arts were all trained by Kinson Nobutsu Ueno.

There is also one of Nobuzuna Uezumi's nephew Fumigoro Hitoda, and two two apprentices who were newly acquired in Nara, Soryan Yagyu and Keer.

The sixth samurai is Katsumoto, who was born in Kinki. His martial arts are just average compared to Nobutsu Uezumi, but he has a set of training and bows and arrows. Among these seven people, it can be said that only Katsumoto Shimamoto came alone, and almost all had his own retainers. Of course, the retainers of these retainers also bear the salary and rice. Relatively speaking, the monthly five-stone rice given to me by His Royal Highness Nobunaga is only enough for us to fill our stomachs, and it is not enough. If I hadn't had any hands on the overseas meat and oil wholesale trade, these people would have been able to eat me poor in one month.

The last samurai's identity was a bit stunning. It was not so much a samurai as a thief who changed careers. It was the ninja thief who was born in Iga, Ishikawa Goemon, fourteen Shinin, and more than 30 family members. Fortunately, this guy hasn't done any major case yet, otherwise it would be too eye-catching to recruit him when the thief's reputation is outside.

Of the seven people, except for Nobusuzumi Uchizumi who has entered middle age, the remaining six are less than twenty years old. Among them, Ke'er is a genius who is only fourteen years old. It is said that he was a martial arts genius discovered by Nobusuzu Nara and Soyoshi Yagyu together.

In addition to the seven warriors, there were sixty-three subordinates they brought, and a total of seventy people were totally seventy. It seemed that Jinson had been working hard to get enough of this number.

There are still a few practices that Kinson Nagashi found, that is, the master of internal affairs. Yasui Dodon is a good at civil engineering. Murai Sadao is proficient in mathology, etiquette and bargaining. Mamada Nagashi is proficient in land development. Takenaka Halfwaye only uses two words "all-round talent" for his evaluation of Kinson Nagashi. Of course, Takenaka Halfwaye is only slightly higher than Kinson's martial arts.

These four practices, plus Jinsen's proximity, Maeda Genie and I, just gathered together seven practices. Anyway, I think so, I don't want to be a powerful general who can charge in the battle with nothing to do, and die quickly.
