When the news of preparation for war reached Nizi Shengjiu of Bozhou Prefecture, no one of the military generals in the family was happy about this, and even the preparation for war made them confused from beginning to end.

"The letter did not say why we prepared for war, but the general asked our state to prepare twenty horse army, eighty infantry, eighty infantry, and eighty hundred infantry, and…"

Yamaaka Kasuke said halfway, and he paused when he looked at the letter. A group of samurai knelt in the room and looked up. Niko Katsuhiro, who was sitting upright, couldn't help but ask, "What else?"

Kasuke looked at his lord and said, "There are still six thousand soldiers to provide 7,000 people with food and supplies for three months."

"What are the general's horse army, heavy infantry, light infantry and miscellaneous soldiers?" Nizi Katsuki couldn't tell the difference between such foreigners in Japanese, no, it should be a word he created, "The 6,900 soldiers are in this season, it is impossible to gather this season!"

The retainers looked at each other. The war between Seto Inland Sea and Osaka Bay had just ended. The restless general of Ming Dynasty was preparing to launch another war, especially during the busy farming season, which was definitely not good news for them.

Yamaakashi frowned and shook the letter hard, found the segmented notation after the main text, and read in a difficult tone: "The so-called horse army, horse, pole, big armor, small equipment, iron cannon or big bow, long spear, heavy infantry army, big armor, small equipment, iron cannon or big bow, long spear, short sword; light infantry, pole, knives, guns, bows, miscellaneous soldiers, bows, guns."

"That means you need twenty generals, eighty heads of the football team, eight hundred feet, six thousand peasant soldiers, and prepare food and grass for three months." Yamaakashi Kasuke worshipped the letter and gritted his teeth and said, "An expedition."

Nizisheng raised his palm and stroked his face, and asked his retainers: "Can our family prepare for such a military force?"

The remaining officials were frowning, and the old master Rihara Kutsutoshi said, "It is not difficult for warriors to be young. I have just pacified the Ikki in the territory. In two months, the fields in various places will be harvested, and it is difficult to summon 6,000 peasant soldiers. The lord should reply to General Chen. The farmers were about to harvest the fields, and the peasant soldiers could only mobilize 3,000 peasant soldiers, but our family could mobilize 1,600 peasant soldiers."

The Nizi family revived for years and fought for war. When they defeated the Maori family, they obtained a lot of supplies on the battlefield, enough to recruit and armed more, but it was difficult for peasants to meet Chen Bazhi's requirements.

"Ishimifu is very familiar with the situation of our army. After mobilizing 1,500 feet, leaving the territory too far will cause the people to rebel. I hope the general can make the lord difficult to achieve."

Yamaakaya Kasuke's expression was much more cautious than Ritsutotsu Takahara. He shook his head and said, "General Chen will not only mobilize the only one of our families. What this kind of soldiers is not to deal with the remaining Uraki remnants, nor will it be the swaying Ukita. I'm afraid he will attack Nobunaga Duke."

"We will starve to death only for March, and we will only fight openly with Nobunaga, right?"

Niko Katsuki has never ridiculed Kasuke Yamaakaya. He also agreed with Kasuke's statement in his heart, but this is too unrealistic. Not to mention how far Chen Bazhi's three palaces are from Oritori, even in the relatively close Nikoto, it takes July to prepare for weapons and gather troops. Along the way, you have to pass the territory of the two daimyos of Danma and Tandem to border the Oda clan.

"The Yamama masters did not obey Oda but were unwilling to obey the Ming Dynasty; although the Ichise clan of Danou was in a bad way with Nobunaga's public transportation because of protecting the general, he did not obey General Chen. It is true that the Ming army's expulsion of the Maori clan had a terrifying record of Xu Da, but on our way to march, the Oda clan could be prepared, and..."

Once Oda Nobunaga is prepared, the raid will become a tug-of-war, and he will eventually withdraw from the army without any advantage. The war time is definitely not enough for the food and grass in March.

Niko-Kaki analyzed a lot of rationally, and finally shook his head and said, "I am unwilling to be an enemy of Nobunaga."

But no one dared to disobey the Ming army, and no one dared to do so.

Although Chen Bazhi did not lead the troops to fight several times, he left a deep seal on the princes of the Western Kingdom. It was not the majesty of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry or the wheel shooting of the Bird Gun Team. The only thing that really makes people dare not be enemies is the artillery of the Ming army.

Before this, the cage city had always been an excellent means of defense in wars, but everything has been different since these Ming generals crossed the sea. Whenever the siege, the Ming army would set up heavy artillery, and often set aside the city in half a day, and later the war to expel Maori led the defenders of Zhucheng to flee.

The artillery took away the last hope of the city defender.

"Do you guys have any means to avoid war?"

The Nizi family's journey of revival was full of ups and downs. In addition to the Maori family, many daimyos were supported in their revival. Among them, the one who was most grateful was Oda Nobunaga, who had sent troops to help Kasuke 3,000 troops. At that time, Nizi Katsuhiro was still eating grilled fish on Hitoki Island.

It was Nobunaga's reinforcements that ended the years that Katsuki called "I don't know if Kasuke can come back alive when he went out to rob today."

Now the famous Western Kingdom surrendered to the general of the Ming Kingdom to raise the order to serve the king to form a three-point game. If it weren't for the revival of the Nizi family, they would have been more willing to rely on Nobunaga's command.

Now that Katsuki feels very guilty about Nobunaga in this way, and then let him lead his troops to fight Nobunaga?

How to avoid fighting? The retainers of the Nizi family were thinking about this, but there was no answer.

Yamaakasuke, who was the first to accept the fate, was good at war. He suggested: "At least, it would be much easier to go on a battle with the coalition forces than to fight against Oda or the Ming army alone. Ishimifu's orders should not be disobeyed. Let's prepare the military first. The lord wrote the confession and sent it to Shizhou, and we must prepare the troops."

"There is no goal, the march is not blocked. You can reach Kyoto as far east as the far east, and Awaji may be the enemy. The best situation is the goal of Izuno Ginyama, and the worst result is to fight with Nobunaga. This family is hard-won today. Don't lose your life because of carelessness."

"After sending 6,000 troops, they will be divided into twenty teams. The generals of each team led four team leaders, forty, to mobilize peasants from all over the place. The team sent a message to the messenger, and saw the spy on the objects. The small grain transport team was assigned by the general. The horses returned to the crowd and the meritorious army was paid, and the pharmacist, flagmaster, Taigu, Fasaka, and pray to monks."

"In addition, if the general does not accept the confession, in order to solve the shortage of recruitment, our family must also prepare to pay for hiring ronin, robber, and bandits to form a gale team."

Speaking of this, Kasuke Yamaakana sighed. When he was accumulating money for the revival master, he had been a bandit and was involved in the pirates. He understood the market conditions. This was a considerable expense. Moreover, the pirates on Yinqi Island are now all from the Ming army, so they must have been dispatched by Chen Bazhi long ago. They could not be recruited even if they wanted to recruit them.
