Chapter 223 27. Share Experience Navy
Xiaoheita thinks that the people of this era seem to be quite adapted to the war. Ejiri has not experienced war in five or six years, but the townspeople are still very skilled.
The young and strong are armed with knives, the old and the weak are carrying the heavy baggage, and the women and children are carrying the delicate ones. The division of labor was clear. Those who were supposed to form formations to meet the enemy did not shrink back. Those who were supposed to take refuge in the city also accelerated their pace and climbed onto the city without any haste.
Many people are usually numb and ignorant, but years of war have driven them. There is a regular division of labor, an order that is appreciated.
At this time, Chen San in the city also ran to the port. He didn't bring anything else to Xiao Pingtai, but he gave Xiao Pingtai the most important piece of Nanman's body on his back. It took a long time to put on the whole body of the Southern Barbarian carcass, but it was quite simple to tie the piece of Milanese infantry to the chest with the chest plate.
Tatsumi's height of over 1.7 meters is quite rare in this era. When Date Masamune moved the cemetery, he was measured to be over 1.6 meters tall. At that time, he was already considered to be unusually tall. Except for the fact that Date Masamune had shrunk a few centimeters because of his age, at 1.7 meters in this world, he really stood out from the crowd.
Xiaopingta quickly asked Chensan to bend down and lower his head. It was not a good thing to stand so high. The goal was just bigger. Chen San smiled, half-knelt down, and stood quietly beside Xiao Pingtai.
At this time, the fleet outside the port stopped moving forward, and a small boat with only three people rowed out of the fleet, seemingly to negotiate with Ejiri.
Seeing the other party's behavior, Xiao Pingtai ordered him not to attack and let him go ashore. See who the other person is and what their purpose is. If it was really an unknown emerging pirate, Xiaoping Tai would be willing to spend two to three hundred guan to buy his safety.
Soon the boat docked, and in addition to a sailor rowing the oar, two men dressed as warriors got out. The two of them were not wearing armor, one was wearing a half-coat, and the other was only wearing water. One person is holding a wooden stick, and the other person has a sword at his waist.
The ashigaru who were waiting for him got out of the way, and Aji stood in front of Heita. Kanai Meigoro, who commanded the ashigaru, asked the iron gun ashigaru to secretly aim at the two people and shoot immediately if there was any abnormal movement.
The two of them walked up to Xiaopingtai, and the young warrior with the sword took the initiative to salute Xiaopingtai.
"Greetings to Tanzheng, the commander-in-chief of Danzhou, Shejin Shou, sent me a letter." The young man said without any hurry or delay.
"Oh! Settsu Mamoru? Let me see." Koheta was extremely excited in his heart but kept his expression on his face. Could it be that the good connections I made have blossomed and bear fruit? The exchange with Anzhai Dongkang back then made him actually write some secret book of the navy and send it to him.
"Here is the letter." The man took out a slightly folded letter from his arms. It was very thin and had no paint on it.
Chen San went up to take it and handed it to Xiao Pingtai. The young warrior stopped talking and waited quietly for Xiaopingtai to finish reading.
"It's just as it is. It's like seeing a letter once again. It's going to be bad but bad, but it's hard to disobey the Lord's orders. The king and his ministers are different, and they have no regrets even if they die. However, my son Qingkang is rash and agitated, and he may be unruly. I'm sending you here now. Please accept this letter. It’s a certain day in a certain year.”
The letter was very short and the content was concise. The general idea was that I, An Zhai Qingkang, was going to die, but my son, An Zhai Qingkang, was impulsive. If he knew I was dead, he might do something. I'm afraid something might happen to him in the future, so I'll leave him to you. If you treat me as your brother, take him in.
"Who is Anzai Settsumomo?" Koheita then carefully looked at the young man in front of him. After a closer look, he realized that he was really young, just because he had been sunbathing at the beach for a long time. His skin is dark and rough, and his braids are not regular. He looks like a fallen warrior in his twenties or thirties.
"It's my father." Anzhai Qingkang mentioned his father with a bit of admiration on his face.
"Settsu Mamoru is not hesitant?" Although Koheita had expected it, he still wanted to ask. The image of that middle-aged samurai who was brave but full of benevolence and kindness was still fresh in his memory. He was admirable for his unfazed appearance.
Anzhai Qingkang's expression was gloomy and unspeakable. It seems to be entangled with hatred, sorrow, sorrow and sadness.
"Seven days ago, my father committed suicide in Iimori Castle."
"Oh, my condolences." Xiao Pingtai walked up to Anzhai Qingyasu, held the young man's hand, and patted it twice.
"Do you know what Settsu Mamoru means?" Koheita always wants to ask people what they think. The melon that is forced is not sweet, but of course it will quench the thirst.
"My father ordered me to come and seek refuge with Danzheng. A few days ago, I was very serious about my ambitions and my ability to correct and protect him." Anzhai Qingkang seemed to be willing to come and seek refuge with Xiaopingtai.
"Is the ship outside the harbor yours?" "Yes and no." "How do you say that?" Xiao Pingtai was a little confused.
It turns out that the organization of the navy at this moment is the same as that of the daimyo territory, but it is different. Suppose that the Maori navy, which now has more than 800 warships, arrives at Kizunaguchi and wants to have a beautiful medieval naval battle with the Oda army. So are these all Motonari Mori's or Terumoto Mori's ships? Of course not.
These ships belonged to several ship admirals, including Kobayakawa Takakage, Nomi Munekatsu, Murakami Takeyoshi, Kodama Yutada and others. Then they gathered together in dozens of boats and hundreds of boats to form an eight hundred Maori naval force.
But not all the ships owned by each ship general belong to them. Each Guan ship has a ship leader. The ships belong to these bows, which is equivalent to their knowledge and behavior. If you have a ship, you can get a share of the navy's ship mark money. The more ships you have, the more you get.
So Mori Terumoto may have 800 warships under his command, but unfortunately he may not have any warships directly under his command. This is a very strange organizational model. The ships are the territory of these navy. If you have ships, you can have money.
The organizational model of the Awaji Navy of Ataka Fuyuyasu is exactly the same as that of the Mori Navy. Ataka Fuyuyasu is the big leader, and there are 30 or 40 bows of the sekifune serving him. His strength is the strongest and largest in the Awaji Navy, so he is the big leader. But other ship commanders also have a few sekifune to more than a dozen sekifune, including the Suga clan, the Mori clan, the Noguchi clan, the Konishi clan, etc.
Only in this way can a powerful navy with more than 300 warships be formed. Rather than saying that Ataka Fuyuyasu is the big leader of the Awaji Navy. It is better to say that he has the largest shares in the Awaji Navy and is the chairman and general manager who is in charge of practical affairs.
Now that Ataka Fuyuyasu is dead, all his ships, that is, shares, must be given to Ataka Nobuyasu to ensure that their Ataka clan has the largest equity. In this way, the Awaji navy can continue to be under the command of the Ataka family, and their family can survive.
So before his death, Ataka Fuyuyasu only gave three Kanbune and a dozen Kohaya to his youngest son. After all, the shares cannot be diluted, otherwise he will not be able to make decisions. Moreover, these three ships nominally belong to Ataka Kiyoyasu, but in fact two of them belong to the two ship owners. It was just that Ataka Fuyuyasu assigned them to Kiyoyasu a few days ago.
Your navy is really fun, let me play the shareholding system in the Warring States Period.
