Chapter 703 15. The Power of the People of Changdao Is Greatly Boosted
The news that Ashikaga Yoshiaki had issued an order to open a school for the domain spread like wildfire!
It was not that the judges were not careful, but that the news was deliberately spread so that the military and civilians would know. After all, this was equivalent to Ashikaga Yoshiaki paying for the education of the children of the domain samurai himself, and even the news that Suzyuni donated her cosmetics money for the food expenses of the school children was spread.
Who doesn't want their children to learn a few more words? It is better to be educated than uneducated. Besides, they only go to school until they are thirteen or fourteen years old, and they can inherit the family business after they come back. It is not expensive and they also provide meals. Such a good thing is really unheard of.
Although it was Kobayata who proposed this matter, Hosokawa Saijo was the most active, and she looked like the director of the domain school. Anyway, he was a warrior magistrate. If he didn't fight, he would have half the work to do, and he would be idle anyway.
"Kibei, where is your father?" Kobayata was naturally asking Hosokawa Saijo.
Among the hatamoto, Sanada Masayuki had the duty of guarding the castle regularly, and Koyata had also served on duty before. Guarding the important places such as the gates, towers, castle towers, and palaces, as for the interior of the palace, it was the duty of the side relatives and the small surnames.
"Father went to the city early in the morning to find the school base, and he didn't come to work today." Sanada Masayuki leaned on his gun and looked at the city.
"Didn't come to work?"
"Yes, father has been thinking about running the school these two days." Sanada Masayuki smiled.
Our brother-in-law was extremely brave when he charged in battle, and he dared to rush forward even in the rain of bullets. His tactical command ability was absolutely qualified. But in terms of strategy, he was indeed not as good as his father-in-law Hosokawa Harumiya, and he did not inherit the good genes in this regard. But now with Sanada Masayuki, the combination of the two is really like a fish in water.
Wait!
"The concubine is so enthusiastic, Kibei must have contributed a lot." Koyata smiled and joked with Sanada Masayuki.
"No, no, I just mentioned it to my father." Sanada Masayuki raised his lips slightly, but spoke quietly.
"I thought so......"
Patting the young man on the shoulder, Koheita was not going to go on duty immediately. He glanced at the little follower Higuchi Yoroku who was following behind him, thinking that he would also go to see the school site selection.
"Yoru, go home and tell your wife that I will not go home for lunch at noon. I have official business with Cai Nu." Since you are going to see your brother-in-law, you must eat your brother-in-law's food.
"Okay, Tanzheng." Higuchi Yoroku repeated it and ran back.
"Kibei, what do you think of this child?" Although the age difference is a bit big, in history, these two old turtles are disgusting enough.
"Looks like a diligent and capable child. Following Tanzheng, he will definitely be of great use in the future." Sanada Masayuki looked at Higuchi Yoroku's back.
"Hahahahaha, Yoroku is really diligent in his work."
After chatting with Sanada Masayuki for a few words, Kobayata led Honda Tadakatsu back to the city. As a mountain valley plain, the land of Fuchu Castle is not too large. But finding a vacant land to build a school building or something is not a big problem.
Hosokawa Saimyou was indeed wandering around with people. According to estimates, a primary school with 2,000 people, excluding the playground, would require at least 12,000 square meters of land. In addition to classrooms for classes during the day and rest at night, special venues for learning guns, sticks, bows, arrows, and iron cannons are also needed, and there is also a kitchen for cooking. After all, it is not a small project to feed thousands of mouths.
As for the student bathhouse, there is no need. A bathing ticket is issued every ten days. Isn't there a public bathhouse under the city! Just let them take a bath once a day, no need to bother.
"Brother, you are quite concerned!" Seeing Hosokawa Saimyou taking people to measure the land, Kobayata went to meet him.
"We are all working for the lower palace." Seeing that it was Koyata, Hosokawa Saiyeon smiled and started talking.
"Is this piece of land enough for the school?"
"Not much. It's easy to find a small piece of land under the city, but it's not easy to find such a large piece of land."
"It's enough to build a school building. If the playground is not enough, just use the existing playground under the city." Koyata roughly estimated that this place was indeed not enough.
"That's what I mean, and I'm thinking. If the students practice martial arts every afternoon, one or two thousand people will practice together every day. In the future, they will be more flexible than regular soldiers when they go to the battlefield?"
"Of course, even the regular soldiers of the hatamoto cannot practice every day, but the students can at least practice the formation, flags, drums, and orders every day, which will be of great use in the future!"
"The feudal school is indeed Yamanouchi's major plan!" Hosokawa Saiyeon agreed.
We all fight bad battles, as long as I am not worse than you, I am much better than you. The people in the Koshin region are poor and can fight hard. If they are taught to form a formation, they will be even more powerful.
As the two were talking, Sanada Masayuki came over.
"Father, please tell me, Murakami Samazune said there is something important to report. Please go back."
"Samazune? Where is the news?" Xiao Pingtai thought that there must be some news from Nagashima, which is not surprising.
"It seems that there are news from Oda clan and Luoyang." Sanada Masayuki was sent to be the messenger, so of course he asked a little.
"Luoyang? Didn't Daiki go to Makishima?"
Several people entered the city. Several Lianpanshu who were on duty in the city had already arrived. Everyone made way, and Murakami Yoshimitsu took out the letter and handed it to Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
"What's the matter?"
"Shibata Shuu and 22,000 people were defeated in Nagashima, and were hit head-on by the monks of Ganshoji Temple and Ikko-shu." Ashikaga Yoshiaki frowned.
After the Oda army, which had no way to coordinate, failed in its attacks on Nagashima several times, they chose to retreat slightly and encircle Nagashima for a long time, starving it to death. Although this tactic is old-fashioned, it is definitely useful. The monks who can't eat, no matter how brave they are, can't pick up swords and guns. Their Buddha can't throw food from the sky.
However, the withdrawal route chosen by the Oda army is not good, it is to the lush vegetation of Mt. Duoyun!
The Ikki has believers all over northern Ise, and there are many spies who have detected this news. With the advantage of numbers and familiarity with the geography, they attacked the Oda army fiercely from all directions. For a while, iron cannons and bows and arrows rained down, and the Oda army collapsed.
The rear army's Ujiie Bokuzen died on the spot!
More than 20,000 Oda troops retreated all the way to Kiyosu Castle before they could be cleaned up, and the power of the Nagashima Ikki was greatly boosted!
"Where is Gifu Dansho?" After the Oda army was defeated, why didn't Oda Nobunaga show up? Naturally, Hosokawa Cainu was very confused.
Everyone was naturally concerned about this. Where Oda Nobunaga was, it would indicate where the main force of the Oda family was, and it would be easier to judge where Oda Nobunaga's main attack direction was.
"The second thing is this. Gifu Dansho joined forces with part of the forces of Noshu, Jiangnan, and Luoyang, and annihilated the 6,000 people of the Asakura clan who came to rescue Makishima on the west bank of Lake Biwa. Now, they have joined forces with the Wakasa clan of about 30,000 troops and are heading to attack Echizen!"
