Detailed explanation of military service system and military service account
The "Uesugi Family Military Staff" is an important historical document for understanding the composition of the Uesugi vassals in the 3rd year of Tensho era.The composition is recorded at the level of the family, the clan, the nation, and the flagmaster. ``Onakagusuku-sama'' refers to Kagetoshi, but since there is no record of Kagetora Uesugi, who later fought for the headship of the family, it is an indispensable historical source when considering the political positions of both men. Masu.
This is an excerpt from the Uesugi Family Yakushu in the 3rd year of Tensho, and the impression I get is that there are surprisingly few people.However, it is said that there are ``8,000 subordinates,'' and Ashin himself said, ``If there are 8,000 elite soldiers, no enemy will be able to fight.'' '', so this number is almost enough to support it. However, the military commanders recorded here are limited to 39 people living in Echigo, especially those in Honjo, who were in the midst of the rebellion. Shigecho, Kawata Chōyō from Etchu, and Hojo Takahiro from Ueno are all missing.The proof is that just two years later, in the 5th year of Tensho, there were 81 military commanders. If I had hired an office worker, I think I could have worked more than 20,000 yen.

Ichimon?Guest commander
Ichimon's son was Kageyoshi, who took over as head of the family after Ashinori's death.Yamaura was the son of Murakami Yoshikiyo.Kamijo was a member of the Noto Hatakeyama clan.It is strange that Kagetora Uesugi, who is the same son, does not have the name. Either he had no intention of studying, or he saw himself as his successor and was placed under direct control of the director.

National people
The first 12 members, including Nakajo, were known as the ``Kohokushu'', who had a strong independence and were unparalleled in their independence. Chonobu Saito, Keiichi Chisaka, and others were originally the chief retainers of the Uesugi clan, the governor of Echigo. So, it was on the same level as the Nagao family of Ashin.
The military commander's name is Tate Ming, the iron cannon, the large and small flags, and the total number of horses.

Although there are slight differences between the two military service accounts, the basic contents are similar. Another thing to note is that this military service account was made in February of the third year of Tianzheng (March 1575).
Many things can be seen from these two military service accounts, such as where Honjo Shigenaga went? For example, how much military service Uesugi Kenshin had.
If you analyze it more carefully, you can discover more things, such as the reason why Uesugi Kenshin was unable to suppress Echigo Kingdom.
The first one in the military service account is Uesugi Kagekatsu, but what about Uesugi Kagetora?
This is the root cause of the Imperial House Rebellion. Of course, there are many articles to read specifically about this, so I won’t go into details.
What I want to say is that in the military service system of the Warring States Period in Japan, as long as the powerful daimyo had a similar military service account, the Hojo family had an "Odawara Public Service Account" and the Takeda family also had a "Takeda Family Military Service Account"
Account" and so on.
Then let’s talk about the daimyo of Japan’s Warring States Period. Except for Oda Nobunaga who separated peasants and soldiers after he came to dominate Luo, all Warring States samurai families still chose the military service system of integrating peasants and soldiers.
Powerful daimyo would establish this kind of "military service account" to establish the military service system and strengthen their control over the lords of the country.
It's hard to say about the weak daimyo. They usually gather together to continue the ancient tradition and form a rural party and state people. When they are all gathered together, it is the so-called powerful clan alliance system.
It is worth mentioning that some daimyo continued the system of integrating farmers and soldiers until the end of the Tokugawa period. I will not name them specifically, everyone knows.
Back to the topic, the difference in the military service system is the reason why some daimyo are terrible at fighting, collapse as soon as they are beaten, and are driven into the river with countless casualties, while other powerful daimyo have super strong fighting ability and explosive force value.
.
The military service system of the Warring States Period was not established by convention. The daimyo of each country had their own corresponding systems. Even similar systems had different names. For example, some of the lower-level bosses were called Ashigaru-gutou, and some were called Ashigaru-gutou. Among senior samurai,
, the difference between military conduct and warrior conduct, etc.
From the perspective of organizational strength, a powerful Sengoku daimyo must have a complete military service system, strong combat effectiveness and cohesion. You can count how many daimyo had this level during the Sengoku era.
Then let me talk about the so-called yoshiko system, which is actually a military service system. All the legal armed forces of the entire territory are governed through three levels of ichijo, kyomi, and yoshi. Hojo, Takeda, and Miyoshi all have this kind of system.
As for the system, Echigo-Uesugi is a bit special. The Oda family separated soldiers and peasants. That's probably what happened.
The main reason why I want to write this thing is that some book friends think that the history of the Warring States Period in Japan is completely ruined. He came to teach me that the war in the Warring States Period in Japan was not fought in this way. The alliance of powerful families was to bear a small part, and then the whole group was divided.
One group of people, who have a cavalry team, an artillery team, an archery team, and an ashigaru, say that Wu Mei doesn't understand military affairs.
Then the problem is that the person does not understand the military service account, the military service system, or even the issue of taxation.
Then go back to the Uesugi military service account I picked up above. If you look closely, you can see that the total military service in February of the third year of Tensho was more than 5,500 people. Uesugi Kenshin said that he had eight thousand elites under his command.
Then, in November of the fourth year of Tensho, during the battle of Nanao Castle, the Uesugi army went out to about 20,000 people. Some people would say that the Ueno people were more important than the Chinese. This makes sense, but how much did they account for? What was the burden of military service?
How many?
This question may be very confusing, so let’s go back ten years to the famous Fourth Battle of Kawanakajima, in which Uesugi Kenshin deployed 13,000 men.
All the people in this military service tent were Echigo people, and during the Fourth Kawanakajima period, all Echigo people were on the battlefield (there are a lot of historical materials on the Fourth Kawanakajima, you can read it if you are interested).
Look at this again, the military service account is 5,500, the subordinates are 8,000, and the battle is 13,000. What is the problem?
I raised this question in the book review area, but the experts who taught me about Japanese Warring States military did not answer because they could not answer it, and I also knew that it was impossible for them to answer it.
Because this issue is still under discussion in Japanese historians, there are different opinions but there is no clear answer.
Then let me talk about my family's opinion. There is no military service of Uesugi Kenshin in the military service account. The Uesugi family's powerful Hatamoto clan is very powerful. Only a small number of them are recorded in the military service account, and there are no powerful nationals such as Honjo Shigenaga.
Military service, that is to say, Echigo's war potential was not reflected.
The military service account is given a relatively loose limit, the minimum military service is 5,500 people, and does not include Uesugi Kenshin's own military strength.
Assuming that Uesugi Kenshin's main team has 2,500 people, plus 5,500 people, wouldn't it be exactly 8,000 people? If the war requires it, the Echigo people can also provide 5,000 people, isn't this 13,000 people?
This can be seen from the military service account of the Hojo family. The Odawara clan is equivalent to the banner of the Uesugi family. As the governor of the family, Hojo Ujiyasu is also the largest lord of the Hojo family. His military service will not be recorded, so his
How much is the military service, and what is the composition of the team? Will there be any changes under the influence of external forces?
The same is true for joining the Miyoshi family. The military service and taxes are also based on the system of foster parents and children. The organizational strength and combat effectiveness are not inferior to those of the Hojo family in their heyday. How powerful is the main force of the Miyoshi family?
What is Hyun’s military service?
If you don't see that these problems don't matter, if you don't see that you have to teach Wumei the system of the powerful alliance, Wumei doesn't quite understand it.
There must be something wrong with Wumei writing about military affairs, and Wumei probably knows where the problem lies. Even if he writes a war history analysis, it is impossible to completely restore the battlefield at that time, not to mention that Wumei is writing an online novel.
The drama and bizarreness of some wars are simply unbelievable. The Battle of Fujigawa and the Battle of Kurigara Pass are unbelievable. They are even more bizarre than what Wu Mei wrote. But they actually succeeded. How can I say this?
The theme of this book is time travel, not a historical novel, let alone a historical publication. There are many fictional characters in this book, as well as many historical facts and allusions.
For example, in the real-life story of Asayama Hichijo, Hatakeyama Takamasa did have a point and two, and Ume has further processed it.
Another example is the section about waka. Those who have read relevant historical materials can see the source of these waka. I won’t say which historical book they are from. There is a reason for this.
Another example is some of the allusions of the Wu family. These are not nonsense made by Wu Mei. They will never be found in Du Niang. They are all picked up bit by bit by Wu Mei.
For example, Okushinano, Kitano Shinano, Joetsu, Central Etsu, and Shimotsu. These are all accurate statements in historical materials. For example, there are corresponding articles about the situation of the people of Echigo country and the reason why Nagao Kagetora was unable to suppress the people of Echigo country.
Analyze it from various angles. If you are interested, you can look it up or come to the group to discuss it together.
