After Oda Nobunaga finished speaking, he thought about his thoughts alone for a while. When he came back to his senses and saw that Maeda Toshiie was still there, he couldn't help but asked.
"What else is there? Just say it once and for all!
Just wait and see, now that you’re done, get out of here.”
After Yoshigan Shiba left Owari, Toshiie Maeda's ability gradually became apparent in everything.
Oda Nobunaga patiently told her to put the blame in the past and entrusted her with important tasks.
Who would have known that this bastard has no sense of good and evil, loves Shiba Yigen with all his heart, and clings to Owari Shiba's collar.
Fool! What kind of handsome man can't get it if he is successful? That man has been played to pieces by me a long time ago! How can a ruined flower be compared with the grand hegemony?
Thinking of those two pleasant experiences, Oda Nobunaga thought sincerely.
His tongue flexibly licked the corners of his mouth, and he became increasingly uncomfortable looking at the submissive Maeda Toshiie.
Are you worthy of coveting the man I played with? Are you worthy of coveting that amazing man?
Out of disdain, she just wanted to throw her away, like throwing away a piece of useless garbage.
Anyway, as long as Owari Shiba is still there, her goodwill will be felt by Yoshihiro Shiba and the relationship between the two families will be maintained.
As for territorial agent Maeda Toshiie not being able to use his talents, does Yoshihiro Shiba care?
Having already become a shogi player on the world stage, he probably doesn't care what he thinks of Owari's little territory.
Compared with the gains from the territory, he cared more about Oda Nobunaga's attitude towards this territory, which was directly related to the dignity and intimacy of the two families.
The reality is so cruel.
No matter how close Yoshihiro Shiba and Toshiie Maeda were at the beginning, she is now politically marginalized and insignificant.
Maeda Toshiie lowered his head in silence, bowed deeply, took out a roll of documents, placed it on the tatami, and moved his hands forward.
This is a desperate move on her part, and the fortune and misfortune are unpredictable. Even though her martial arts is as strong as hers, her fingers are trembling.
Oda Nobunaga obviously noticed the slight trembling of her outstretched hands, and looked at the prostrate Hime warrior with interest.
Maeda Toshiie has followed her since childhood and has a tenacious character. What is it that makes her so unbearable?
"What's this?"
Maeda Toshiie said bitterly.
"During the battle at Okehazama, His Highness Oda once asked me why the Ashigaru of the Shiba family refused to retreat even to the death and were as brave as the samurai family.
This is the teachings of Shiba Ashigaru, and all the reasons are contained in it."
Nobunaga looked at her without speaking, then suddenly said with a mischievous smile on his lips.
"I'm too lazy to read, so you can tell me."
Her heart was filled with the pleasure of conquest, and Maeda Toshiie finally couldn't bear the pain of having his talent wiped out and surrendered to her.
Since the departure of the Takada sisters, Maeda Toshihisa and his daughter, Owari Shiba is now dominated by Maeda Toshiie.
If Oda Nobunaga can subdue her, he will also get all of Owari Shiba's territory.
Not only can you use Owari Shiba's collar to show your favor to the Shiba family, but you can also spy on the recent situation.
You can also use the territory's military power to conquer Mino, and use rewards to train a military force outside the Oda retainers group to check and balance the various factions.
Of course, the premise of all this is that Maeda Toshiie's certificate of nomination is of sufficient weight to allow Nobunaga to drive her to do things with peace of mind.
What exactly is this Shiba Ashigaru Law? Does it have such weight?
How could Maeda Toshiie think that by handing it over, Shiba Yoshigan would be outraged by her betrayal, and make Oda Nobunaga believe that she was sincerely surrendering and could not look back.
Oda Nobunaga sat back in his seat, stretching his limbs comfortably, ready to appreciate Maeda Toshiie's embarrassment and feel the pride of his success in surviving the eagle.
Maeda Toshiie lowered his head and whispered.
"There are dozens of detailed rules related to the Shiba Ashigaru Act, covering various aspects such as formation, training, and pensions.
The most important thing is to make money for the sake of being a good person."
Nobunaga's smile froze, she never expected it.
After a while, he stood up suddenly and paced back and forth in front of Maeda Toshiie.
"I see. No wonder the Shiba family's ashigaru is brave and not afraid of death. It turns out that he is an ashigaru transformed into a Hime samurai."
She turned to stare at Maeda Toshiie and asked.
"How much?"
"Two stones of rice a year."
Oda Nobunaga lowered his head and calculated.
The Wu family's military strength is mainly based on reserve troops, and ten thousand dan can mobilize one reserve army.
Not to mention the special iron cannons, bows and arrows, and elite warriors, approaching the flag base.
The general reserve force is composed of three categories: peasant soldiers, ashigaru, and Hime samurai.
Peasants and soldiers are miscellaneous soldiers who bring their own dry food. They carry dry food for five days and wheat for five days. They cannot be mobilized for more than ten days, and it is difficult to fight across borders, and their combat effectiveness is low.
Generally, a standing army reserve force consists of ten people and one or two Ji warriors.
Coupled with the reserve general and the nearby flag base, the reserve force was about two hundred ashigaru and forty or fifty warriors.
There is a cost to serve as a warrior warrior. Except for Nomura, who is not a member of the country and likes to go to battle with his whole family, the minimum salary for becoming an official is usually thirty dan.
The standing ashigaru had no income and only took care of the food. He consumed about two dan of food a year, which is 400 dan for 200 people.
The entire reserve team is about two thousand dan per year. This is non-war time, and going to war costs a lot of money. The rations alone have to be doubled.
The Spo family's approach did not increase the cost too much. A reserve team only increased by 400 dan a year.
However, this approach breaks the privileges of the martial arts class and is very dangerous.
The Samurai family originated from the emperor's nobles. The blood of the emperors of the two surnames Genpei descended to the local area and merged with the local manor owners to form the prototype.
Later, he gradually expanded his power, established the position of the Minamoto clan as the pillar of the samurai family after the Genpei War, and established the Kamakura shogunate.
The Kamakura shogunate established the imperial family system and rewarded imperial family members with land, which established the foundation of the order of the samurai family and rewarded them with public favors.
The Ashikaga Shogunate perfected the order of the samurai family and established a guardianship system with three levels of management: the shogunate, daimyo, and local samurai families.
At this time, it has become the consensus of the Wu family to be rewarded by official duties. Serving as an official and giving Andu territory or salary is a contract between the principals and ministers of the Wu family.
The Shiba Ashigaru Law gave Ashgaru a salary of two koku per year, although it was far inferior to the thirty koku for the lowest-ranking Hime Samurai.
But it set a precedent, giving the people at the bottom a chance to peek above, and opening a gap for class advancement.
Oda Nobunaga shook his head, no wonder Maeda Toshiie took this as his name.
This method is too deviant and is a heretical practice that the entire martial arts class will never tolerate.
If Shiba Yiyin granted the status of a samurai family to a commoner, the Ji warriors would be unhappy, but they would not disobey their master for such a trivial matter. They would only exclude the samurai family who was born as a pariah.
Because this is a special case, it is not a big deal for the ruler to occasionally change the fate of one or two people for his own liking.
However, the Shiba Ashigaru Code is a complete set of rules and a system that can be implemented for a long time, which infringes on the interests of all samurai families.
Oda Nobunaga excitedly picked up the Shiba Ashigaru Code and read it carefully.
This stuff is interesting. I didn’t expect that Shiba Yiyin, who was born into a noble family, would be thinking about such things in private.
Maeda Toshiie brought this matter to her, and Oda Nobunaga believed her surrender and leaked the master's secret. There was no way she could turn back.
Nobunaga was so proud that this stubborn female eagle finally lowered her proud head in the torment of being marginalized.
