Chapter 148: Knowing People and Making Good Use

Rocky Mountain Outer Maru.

On the shooting range, an iron plate is being tied to a wooden frame by two thin ropes.

Thirty meters away, Fan Xiaoxian was dressed lightly with a pair of iron cannons, wearing a hat, bamboo shoulder guards, and sleeves on his arms.

Right now Han Xiaoxian was kneeling on the ground, holding the iron cannon in his hand and aiming at the iron plate, and sparks ignited violently on the iron cannon's match rope.

boom!

A gunshot sounded.

Fire snakes spewed from the iron muzzle, followed by white smoke.

"Hit!"

Ten people on the side, who were dressed up like Fan Xiaoxian, were surprised and said.

"Such a thick iron armor that can be penetrated with one shot, this iron cannon is terrible."

"Yeah, against the iron cannon, no iron armor is useful. No matter how powerful a general is, he can kill him with a single shot, and he will have to go half-life."

"Do you think it's so easy?" Han Xiaoxian stood up. He was just fourteen years old in Yuanfu, but he was also a samurai.

With this beating, all the ten iron guns closed their mouths and remained silent.

Fan Xiaoxian reprimanded them loudly and said: "No matter how powerful the iron cannon is, it must be aimed accurately, otherwise everything will be in vain. And the degree of reloading is also very important."

Under the scolding of Fan Xiaoxian, the ten people who had just been recruited and all of them bowed their heads honestly. Immediately, Fan Xiaoxian asked him to continue training without bullets.

As soon as Fan Xiaoxian finished his work, he saw Li Xiao standing and looking at this with a smile not far away.

Fan Xiaoxian hurried over and said, "See the lord."

Li Xiao nodded, with a smile on his face, and said: "Get up, what you just said is good, just want this energy."

Fan Xiaoxian stood up happily when he saw Li Xiao's praise. He still looked a little childish in Li Xiao's eyes.

However, Fan Xiaoxian immediately became his wife and brother, and Li Xiao also took a high look at him.

After Yuanfu, because he was good at shooting with iron cannons, Fan Xiaoxian was appointed by Li Xiao as the head of the iron cannon team, and his subordinates commanded ten iron cannons.

The iron cannon equipped was madein Omi Kuniyu Village, and the quality was considered to be the best iron cannon at that time.

Oda Nobunaga looked for the brand of Omi Kuniyu Village, and formed the Oda family iron artillery team that became famous in the world.

These ten iron guns were recruited by Li Xiao a few months ago, and they are still in the training of Fan Xiaoxian, and they are about to form combat strength.

Hakata Xiaoxian's training is very hard, especially in the past few days, he did this because he wanted to get ahead, and also because of his sister Hata Yumi's plan.

On the same day, when Li Xiao officially announced that Hakata Yumi would be his wife at the New Year's greetings of his servants, he immediately caused an uproar among his servants.

On that day, Shima Katsumi, the retainer who had followed Li Xiao for the longest time, immediately raised his objection in person, and there were also two or three warriors in the family who echoed him.

This is not beyond Li Xiao's expectation.

Moreover, Li Xiao understood that Dao Shengmeng, who raised his opposition, opposed it from his own perspective.

In the upper class of society, marriage is largely a political method. Even modern times often say that marriage is not a matter of two people, but a matter between two families.

At this point, even Takeda Shingen and Takeda Katsuyori could not decide their own destiny.

At that time, Li Xiao's family members felt that with Li Xiao's current status, it would be no problem to marry a woman who was a well-known person, or a woman who was the most important minister of the Takeda family.

But he did not expect that Li Xiao would eventually marry his own Samurai Ji.

In the end, Li Xiao persuaded Dao Shengmeng and told them that it was his own decision, not a discussion with them.

At that time, the opposition from the retainers was not counted.

Because Hata Yumi has been by Li Xiao's side all the time, they all know her and feel that they are qualified to be the lord's wife. For example, Koshihiro and Da Zang Changan both immediately expressed their support for Li Xiao's decision.

Although the wind passed in a blink of an eye, a deep shadow was buried in Fan Xiaoxian's heart. In his opinion, his sister could marry Li Xiao, which is definitely a happy thing for the two of them.

Back in Guofeng City, if it were not for Li Xiao's rescue, the three sisters would have died under Takeda Yoshinobu.

The death of their parents was purely an offensive by the two countries and had nothing to do with Li Xiao.

So out of the idea of ​​repaying the favor and reviving the writer, Hakata Xiaoxian has worked hard this year to temper himself so that he can be a qualified samurai, and now he has one more task, which is to protect his sister Hakata Yumi.

As long as I can do some meritorious service under Li Xiao's hand and break into a martial arts fame, no one will criticize my sister again at Ranwen Novel Network, saying that it is Gao Pan Li Xiao.

Li Xiao also guessed a bit about Fan Xiaoxian’s thoughts, but he did not say anything, nor did he conduct any guidance or persuasion. Everything depends on how Fan Xiaoxian himself is. When he was young, Ranwen Novels had a lot of burdens. A little pressure is definitely a benefit, not a disadvantage, for the future.

After coming to Antan County for half a year, Li Xiao was in charge of the local people, and the head of 1ang took over part of the military and government affairs.

As a predecessor of Zang, Li Xiao is mainly responsible for collecting taxes from the villages and townships in the municipality on behalf of the Takeda family, such as land tax, post-servicing, weir service, etc., and each township collects taxes according to the previous Shigao seizure. .

After collecting all the items, Li Xiao went to Shenzhi City, where the city office was located, to pay taxes to his family’s Kanbu Meisaku Shoushengzhong.

Takeda Katsuyori's hand is close to the samurai handwriting department Masutada, the son of Masabe Masutada. The lord of Shenzhi City Nobuyuki Takeda is also an old acquaintance of Li Xiao. When Li Xiao went to Shenzhi City to pay taxes, Takeda Nobunori also invited him and Masatada Rube to the castle tower for a tea party.

According to Takeda Shingen’s Koshu law, the people of Shinano must perform special service and general service in addition to paying taxes.

The general service is divided into general service, Xiangjiyu general service, and Menjiyu general service. They are divided according to different levels. For example, when civil engineering works such as fortification and water control are carried out in the Takeda family, the civil servants must participate in it. As a way of serving.

At the same time, Shingen Takeda also made provisions that, for example, merchants and craftsmen can also exempt them from other services and imperial service by paying taxes or serving the Takeda family.

At the same time, if you are conscripted as a peasant soldier or serve as a soldier during the war, you can be exempted from some taxes and labor.

Such as this, the Jiazhou law has made detailed regulations, and there are also some strange tax collections, such as monks who marry their wives and pay taxes, and the villagers have disputes and fights with each other. If you want to settle things, you must also pay taxes.

However, Li Xiao only caught a major part of the tax issue, and left the rest to Chang'an, Tibet.

Dazang Changan was later the first famous internal affairs minister of the Tokugawa shogunate and the general commissioner of the world. It was not easy to manage the taxation of this district in Azumino.

The Tibetan Changan lived up to Li Xiao's expectations and did a good job, but Li Xiao thought of his later so-called "clean and honest" name, so he sent Kishichiro to supervise him.

Among Li Xiao's retainers, Kinoshita was loyal and sincere, and he did not see any specialties at first glance, but he was very serious, meticulous, and tolerant. It was easy to get a good impression.

When Li Xiao came to dig Kinoshita, one was to dig into the corner of a monkey to weaken the purpose of his future achievements, and secondly, he also valued Kinoshita's personal qualities.

In history, Kinoshita had such a great achievement, in addition to his fortune on the side of the monkey, because of his own character, to a large extent, he also lost to Takenaka Hanbei.

At that time, after Hanbei Takenaka became a monkey staff member, Kishiitaro and Masakazu Kasuga had studied carefully by his side for a period of time, and they were all honoured to him.

After seeing the advantage of Kinoshita's diligence in learning, Li Xiao thought of Kinoshita's historical talents and decided to let him show his almighty a little bit, so that he could take the place of Li Xiao's side in the future.

After the general's internal affairs were given to Chang'an in Tibet, and Kinoshita was in charge, during the past six months, Li Xiao focused on military affairs.

According to the ratio of the direct salary of one thousand guan (the two hundred guans added by the Iwagaki Castle generation does not count, this is a salary, if it is abolished, it will be gone), in the Takeda family’s military service account, the Takeda family needs to be out of the battle At that time, a force of one hundred horses must be provided.

Because the separation of soldiers and peasants has become a general trend in the future, Li Xiao called all these 100 people to be standing by, and they will not be disbanded as peasants and soldiers when they are not in combat.

All soldiers are recruited from local 1ang people.

Its military strength is composed of ten horses, composed of the original flag cavalry. They have experienced the battle of Shirane Mountain with Li Xiao, and the battle of the rock against the city cage. Everyone is an absolutely elite warrior.

So Li Xiao used them as his direct troops.

The rest are ten iron guns with light feet. Fan Xiaoxian is the head of the iron gun group, ten with bow feet, 60 with light guns, and the remaining ten are in charge, responsible for the heavy load team, holding flags, etc. And other matters.

Except for the samurai, each standing Zuqing was given a salary of seven times a year, and received two people's support rice, which was also the standard treatment of the Takeda family at that time.

After the recruitment of Hundred Standby, Li Xiao promoted Dao Shengmeng to an influential general and let him manage this Hundred Standby training on his behalf.

Dao Shengmeng is a general who can lead the army, not to mention his bravery enough, the ability to lead troops is not weak, and the fighting will is tenacious, and more importantly, he is loyal to himself. In the future, Li Xiao can equip him with a think tank. Let him lead his own army to fight independently.

As for Shioka Yiyu, he is a swordsman himself, and he pursues the highest state of kendo in his life.

To put it another way, Shigang Kazuha would not do anything except murder.

Therefore, Li Xiaoping would never send him to do anything. At the same time, he hoped that he would be able to comprehend the swordsmanship of Katori Shinto-ryu and Kashima Shinto-ryu as soon as possible, so as to open up the two lines of Ren Du and create his own. The plume comes.

As for Hakata Yumi, after becoming his wife, Li Xiao is not going to let her go out to fight and kill. It is serious to let her give birth to a baby as soon as possible and go home with the child.

Now, after half a year of running in, Li Xiao’s retainer regiment has gradually set up a shelf, showing a trend of prosperity, and the military under his command has reached a level that can be used, and now he is waiting for a soldier Xiang Feida. opportunity.

After going to the shooting range, Li Xiao went to the Yanyue City Training Ground and watched the standing foot light training with Shima Seungmeng~lightnovelpub.net~ Suddenly a subordinate rushed to report, Jiangma Fraser, the third son of the Jiangma family. Visiting.

Li Xiao was slightly surprised, thinking so fast, and then a smile appeared on his face.

When Li Xiao came to the castle tower in the city, Jiangma Fraser was already waiting on the guest seat.

Li Xiao waved his hand and ordered all the servants to retreat.

Seeing Li Xiao, Jiang Ma Fraser immediately said: "I heard that Master Li Xiao is about to get married soon, so my Jiang Ma family brought a gift to congratulate Master Li Xiao. Please accept it."

Li Xiao said with a smile: "Master Jiang Ma, why are you polite? We are not the first to see you. There are only you and me here."

Jiang Ma Fraser raised his head and showed Li Xiao a smile that was not a stranger's first sight, and said: "Master Li Xiao, the conversation is still so straightforward."

Li Xiao laughed, then walked to the seat of the main seat and sat down, and asked Jiangma Fraser, "How did you persuade your father and how did it go?"
