The five hundred and fiftieth chapters of the military system of Yiyin
Honjo Shigenaga recruited Yutai people for the Kanto Palace, and had gathered a large number of Ji warriors among the Yangbei people, including figures from various young sects who were friends with her.
She sent a list of one hundred and fifty Otai people to the imperial palace. Shiba Yoshigan took it very seriously and wanted to go back to Tomi Castle in person to meet with these Hime warriors.
Nowadays, the most important thing for Uesugi Teruhu and Yoshihiro Shiba is to complete the integration of Echigo.
It is necessary to twist the Echigo samurai family into a rope and smoothly integrate the Echigo army into the Kanto strategy.
Uesugi Teruhu used internal affairs to provide benefits, including reducing taxes to four public and six citizens, expanding the scope of green hemp cultivation, and rationing sea salt domestically at low prices.
Shiba Yiyin spent money on the Echigo samurai family through commercial value-added, profit sharing and commercial tax, providing low-priced goods, and raising the purchase price.
The focus of the two men's bribery was Yang Beizhong.
The Yangbei Zhong accounted for 40% of the Echigo army, and they were a brave and capable samurai group. They must be truly willing to contribute to the Kanto strategy.
Uesugi Teruhora's Joetsu is wealthy and has strong mobilization power, but no matter how strong it is, there is a limit.
Because of the traditional martial mobilization method, land and population are more important than money. This is especially true in the economic environment of Guandong, where the traditional manor system is self-sufficient.
The Kansai samurai can also use money to hire evil party wild samurai to strengthen their army and serve as cannon fodder.
Once the relatively poor Kanto samurai family lost their land, it would be difficult for the landless samurai warriors to survive unlike the rich trade routes in Kansai that supported a large number of evil party wild samurai.
Therefore, mobilization in Guandong requires the cooperation of local martial arts families in order to gather enough troops.
Therefore, the Kanto strategy of the Uesugi Shiba family must not lack the Yanghoku territory, which accounts for 40% of the population of Echigo.
Two generations of Uesugi Teruatora and her mother suppressed the Yangbeizhong. The elders were tired of the confrontation, and the older generation headed by Nakajo Fujimo gradually surrendered to Uesugi Teruatora.
The young faction headed by Honjo Shigenaga, who was saved by Shiba Yoshigan after the failure of the rebellion, was also willing to go through the Kanto Secretariat and bow his head to stop causing trouble.
No matter what problems may arise in the future with the replacement of old and new people in Yangbeizhong.
At least for now, Uesugi Teruhora is happy to see Shiba Yoshigan subduing the young Yangbei faction and letting them support the Kanto strategy.
This united the entire Yangbei samurai group into Echigo integration.
After receiving the news from Honzhuang Fanchang, Yiyin immediately set off for China and Vietnam.
At this time, the summer harvest had just passed, and it was the turn of summer and autumn. Midsummer had not yet passed, and the days were very hot. Although it was the slack season for farmers, it was not the time for the traditional mobilization of the Wu family.
Shiba Yiyin's time is very tight. He must quickly master the weapons of the Otai people to cooperate with the people of the same heart and establish his own Jishi warrior group.
The Shiba family only had Tobi Castle in Echigo, and the military strength of the Yangbei clan was also in the hands of the older generation. The Young Zhuang clan joined the Kanto Palace in their own name.
This led to the embarrassing situation that Shiba Yiyin only had Ji Samurai as his military strength, but no reserve troops.
The military system during the Kamakura shogunate period was still very crude. Generally, an imperial family member would lead eight or nine members of his party to participate in the war.
But hundreds of years have passed, and the war style of the samurai family has become more and more mature, and the old tactics of the samurai family cannot defeat the reserve force composed of the ashigaru warriors.
In this case, Yiyin simply established a military force composed entirely of the Hime Warriors for two reasons.
First, with the cooperation of the Echigo military forces, the Shiba family only needs to have the elite Hime Warriors to participate in the battle, and there will be no shortage of cannon fodder on the battlefield.
Both of them, behind every warrior Ji, is an intricate group of warriors.
As the traditional guardian daimyo, Yoshihiro maintains the Hime Warriors and rewards these subordinates in order to win over the hearts and minds of the samurai group.
He does not need to have superior military strength to protect the system. What he has to do is to have many friends and few enemies.
Killing does not necessarily require blood. The human heart is the most powerful sword. Strong force does not mean everything.
Yoshigan Shiba asked himself that he could not be as rebellious as Oda Nobunaga and become a reforming and pioneering Warring States daimyo.
He will only follow the wisdom of his predecessors, follow the rules and do the business of winning people's hearts, and use the consensus of traditional martial arts to protect himself and help him defeat his enemies.

A few days later, Yoshiyin led the people from Yamazaka Yukimori's group and entered Tomei City.
At this time, Tomei Castle was the headquarters of the Kanto Palace.
The camp outside the city has been built. In the north of the city is the Yutai people group of the village, and in the south of the city is the Tongxinzhong group of Dao Shengmeng.
The number of people on both sides is 150 each, and together they are 300 young warriors. With this elite presence, the Shiba family has the confidence to speak after Echichi.
Shiba Yiyin lectured the two Ji Samurai groups outside the city, and then held a military review to appease the middle and high-level leaders of both groups.
The morale of the concubines is very high, and they are sincerely convinced and respectful to their master.
After all, you can eat white rice and dried radish every day, and from time to time you can also eat dried fish as a side dish. Where can you find such a good master?
Regardless of whether they are Tongxin people or Yutai people, as long as they are in Changwei City and their esophagus is full, the big bear Chaoxiu will tearfully cut the meat and dare not lack their rations.
After inspecting the Hime Warriors, Shiba Yoshigan entered the castle tower and convened his high-ranking samurai in the meeting hall for discussion.
Those sitting here include the Tongxinzhong Bitou Mountain Xingsheng, the leader of Peking University and Tongxinzhong Dao Shengmeng, the leader of the Yutai people Hongzhuang Changchang, and the Kanto Military Station who worships Daxiong Chaoxiu.
Behind the four people, the Pu Sheng clan, as the liaison officer between the two places, accompanied them at the banquet.
Yiyin thanked Zhuji for supporting the Shiba family, and then everyone expressed their loyalty and exchanged polite greetings.
After finishing his polite words, Yoshihiro took out two stacks of paper and handed them to Honzo Nogecho and Shima Katsuo.
"This is the foot drill command I wrote. You should take some time every day to train the formation of the Ji warriors."
What is a drill command?
The two of them were a little confused. They were both Ji warriors who had studied military strategy since childhood, but they had never heard of this. When they took it and took a look, they were even more confused.
Stand at attention, take a rest, and walk together. Look to the right, look forward. Turn right, turn left, turn back. Behind these commands, there are precautions and decomposed actions.
But the question is, what is the use of training this?
The military system in the feudal era was not the military system that followed the establishment of a regular army in modern times.
The Wu family's army lacks the concept of discipline. They obey orders, are not afraid of death, and dare to fight and charge. They are elite.
Most of the people formed a spear formation on the battlefield, and listened to the command of the Ji warrior who led the team to stab the head of the gun. Once the team dispersed, they ran for their own lives. It was impossible to expect them to have a sense of discipline.
The cavalry charge is not the wall charge of later modern cavalry, it is arranged in an orderly manner.
Instead, if the gap is large enough that three or four people are far away, you can swing your weapon and let the horses behind you surpass you. If it is too close, you will be injured by your own weapons and the horses will overturn.
This is the real feudal army. Bandits are as good as a comb and soldiers are as good as a grate. I am talking about these unorganized and undisciplined bastards.
Yiyin racked his brains and recalled the marching orders of the military training in his previous life. It was simply a fantasy to ask them using this.
