Chapter 296: Li Xiao's Riding Team

The dim light shone into the room from outside the window, but Shigeharu Takenaka's face became paler.

After listening to Ando Shouji's question, Takenaka Shigeji suddenly had an abnormal flush on his face, and he coughed again when he picked up the Sipa.

Finally, Shigeharu Takenaka put down Sipa, raised his head to look at Ando Shouji, and said calmly: "Father-in-law, why do you think I want to serve Li Tamashou?"

Ando Mamoru had not spoken yet. Takenaka Shigeji, the younger brother of Shigeharu Takenaka, said from the sidelines: "Since the elder brother captured the Inabayama Castle with 16 people three years ago, His Royal Highness Ryuxing now regards his elder brother as a thorn in the eye, forcing his brother to have to Flee to Omi and leave Asai's house."

Speaking of this, Shigemura Takenaka turned around and said sincerely: "However, with the elder brother's great talent, he has to live in seclusion at home. As the saying goes, good birds choose wood and live there. Since the Saito family doesn't value the elder brother, why not continue. Seek other powers to serve. I think Takeda Shingen is a hero in the world, and he is the most promising name in the world, so since the Takeda family sincerely invited him, my brother might as well give it a try."

Hearing what Takenaka Shigemo said, Mamoru Ando put his chopsticks in the firepit and said, "Yes, I have always admired your ability to restore your wits. I have captured Inaba Mountain City with 16 people. Today Kong Ming is no better. If so. If you seek a good way out, I am also happy for you."

Shigeharu Takenaka smiled humbly, and said humbly: "The so-called Kong Ming's words today are nothing more than my self-proclaimed when I was young, and my father-in-law must not be so serious. How can I be able to get Kong Ming's talent in case? Don't mention it again."

After a pause, Shigeharu Takenaka looked at his brother and said: "But Shigemo is right. Good birds choose wood and live. My ambition in Takenaka is to follow Kong Ming's example and assist a master to complete the hegemony. But this troubled world In the meantime, the emperor chooses the minister, and the minister also chooses the emperor. The Takeda family is not my career path."

Takenaka Shigeji made this statement.

Ando guarded, Takenaka Shige was surprised.

Ando Mamoru asked: "Why?"

Reharu Takenaka said in a serious tone: "At the beginning, I knew that after taking Inabayama Castle, I had already convicted Ryuxinggong, so I didn't have to run. Later Nagasasa invited him in the courtesy of a national scholar, and I learned to do Omi Sanchikan to serve as the Asai family. But you guys. I know why I went to live in seclusion from the Asai family."

Ando guarded, and Shigeo Takenaka shook their heads.

Shigeharu Takenaka stared at him for a while and said, "Although Nagamasa is a young hero and is known as the eagle of Omi, the Asai family is a collegiate discussion among the Chinese, and he is not alone in the country. He is magnificent. However, it is difficult to achieve success because of the elders of the subordinates and the elbow of his father. What's more, how can I truly gain the trust of the Asai family as an outsider when I go to the Asai family. Nagamasa appreciates me, but he values ​​me for taking Inabayama Castle. That’s nothing more."

After a pause, Takenaka Shigeji said, "The same is true for the Takeda family. Although Takeda Shingen is the current British lord, and there are many good ministers under his command, the matter of Uesugi, Hojo, and Shangluo is far away. Inviting, I might consider one or two, but Li Xiao is nothing but Shingen's servant, not from a celebrity. Although his courage and courage make me admire, and I don't want to be a servant of Takeda for the time being."

"But you have rejected Asai, Takeda, and Saito for Shijiji, but it is impossible to live in seclusion in the former collar of Iwate?" Ando Mamoru said.

After hearing a long sigh, Takenaka Shigeharu said: "If it were not for Longxinggong's suspicion, imprisonment of his father-in-law, and heavy duty, I would rather not seize the city and stay loyal to Saito's family all my life. However, it is useless to regret it if it happened. Right now. The Saito family of Mino was captured by the Oda family for the most part, and the Nishimino tree was difficult to support. In fact, since the construction of the castle by Hideyoshi Kinoshita, the Saito family has disappeared. After all, this Mino will fall into the hands of the Oda family."

"Is the elder brother going to be in the Oda family?" Takenaka said in surprise.

"Of course not," Shigeharu Takenaka said. "Back when I captured Inabayama Castle, Nobunaga wanted to reward me with a half-century, and let it become the master of Mino. I won't take it, and now I won't. Let's talk about me. In the end, he was a minister of the Saito family, and he could no longer serve as an enemy country."

"My brother's adherence to justice and principles really makes me admire," Takenaka Shigemura said, "but if my brother stays in seclusion and does not work, he will bury his talents here. This is really a brother and a great loss to the world."

Shigeharu Takenaka shook his head and looked at Ando Mamoru and said: "Father-in-law, this is my personal decision of Takenaka. I can retire and protect myself, but the Ando family is different. Father-in-law is a wealthy family from Mino and affects the situation in Xi Mino. , As the general trend of the Oda family is now, if the Ando family stays at the Saito family, I’m afraid there will be jade broken."

"I'm not persuading anything, I just hope that my father-in-law will make a judgment early."

Ando Mamoru nodded, and said, "I will have an opinion."

Yonglu ten years, March.

Hida, a mountain pasture in Masuda County.

At the bottom of the mountain, a large group of horse-riding teams with Takeda Hoshiki's fingers passed by.

The horseshoe covered with irons made a rumbling noise as they stepped on the flat ground.

On the hillside, Li Xiaohe stood by Tsuchiya Changheng standing in place to observe the riding team.

I saw this large group of horse-riding warriors, waving the sword in his hand, and dashing forward with dozens of scarecrows.

Hand up the knife and drop.

The sword in the hands of the horse samurai was cut on the scarecrow without exception.

The impact of dozens of scarecrows on the riding team was only two times in the blink of an eye.

This riding team is an army established by Li Xiaoxin. At present, only more than 30 riders have been selected from the reserve teams of Shengang, Shewei, etc., and the equestrian experts are selected. .

Except for the 30-odd cavalry, the rest of the cavalry Li Xiao was selected from Hida.

After the horse riding team is formed, Li Xiao will have his own cavalry team.

Although Hida is a mountainous region, Masuda County in the south is the origin of the Japanese native horse Kiso.

Kiso horses were used by Japanese samurai from the Heian period until the Edo period. It was not until the Meiji period that Kiso horses were eliminated because of the small size of the native horses in Japan.

During this period, Kiso was always used as a suitable horse on the battlefield, and was regarded as a treasure by the samurai.

Historically, the Kiso horse belonged to the Mongolian horse horse family. It came from North Korea in the second and third centuries AD. It was grazing in the mountains before Hida-Masuda County today, and it was also grazing in Shinano Chikuma County later.

These are also the two major producing areas of Muzeng horses today.

Right now, since Li Xiao captured Hida Masuda, the two major producing areas of Kiso horses have all fallen into the hands of the Takeda family, except for the other ranch in Masuda County, which is in the hands of the Kiso family of Minami Shinano.

Prior to this, Li Xiao had not captured Hida, and when the sister Xiaolu family took control of Masuda County, he did not have a large number of horse riding teams equipped with Kiso horses.

The reason is to focus on the priority of unifying Hida's sister-koji Ryorai, because Hida's mountainous terrain is not suitable for cavalry galloping, so there is no plan to establish a horse riding team for flat-land combat.

Except as the riding horses of individual samurai, the other Kiso horses were sold to various places through Mino by the sister-koji family, and they also made a lot of income.

But Li Xiao is different, Hida has been unified. And the next two fronts, the north and south, Meinong and Viet-Central have vast plains to ride, so the time to establish a riding team is just right.

With the joining of the horse riding team, the weak wings of the western phalanx can be protected by the cavalry.

As for the riding team, in conjunction with the Shangdatong team, the prototype of the enhanced version of Li Xiao's western phalanx has been completed, and only enough time is needed for special training.

In time, the Swedish National Army, which swept across Europe and was invincible in the hands of the Nordic lion Gustav II, is tantamount to reappearing in the hands of Li Xiao through time and space.

When the time comes, Ranwen Novel.com, even if he encounters Uesugi Kenshin again, Li Xiao will be sure to defeat him and break the plot with his strength.

Although the prospects are very good, Li Xiao currently only has enough basic conditions, whether it is a riding team or a big tube team, still needs training, and then expand on this basis to build success.

It took eight years to build this strong army based on the great talents of Gustav II and the national strength of Sweden.

The horse riding team expanded by Li Xiao chose Mu Zeng horses to ride, and the cavalry was also recruited from local herdsmen.

These are readily available and do not require much effort. After the cavalry team is built, they will be stationed in the local area directly to stock up to save costs.

Otherwise, if you leave the pasture and cut the grass for raising, the cost will be too high.

Then the riding team performed several equestrian shows.

Li Xiao nodded his head in satisfaction, but turned his head and saw a trace of contempt on Tsuchiya's face.

"Chang Heng, why are you dissatisfied?".

After listening to Li Xiaozhi's words, Tsuchiya Masahiro said in a loud voice, "Sorry, lord, I was the one who lost his courtesy."

Li Xiao smiled and said: "I have something to say."

Tsuchiya Masahiro thought for a while, and said: "Master, then I'll just say it straight. Although this cavalry is not a weak group, it is better than Takeda and Uesugi cavalry, especially in the face of the Chibei under the command of the Lord Shanxian. Vulnerable."

Li Xiao didn't get angry and asked, "How do you say it?"

Tsuchiya Masahiro said bluntly: "Among the Kanto heroes, my Takeda family is not equipped with the most horse-riding teams. In this regard, both the Uesugi family and the Hojo family are not inferior to my family. However, although my Takeda family does not have many horse-riding warriors, However, he is famous in the world for his horse riding team, and Lord Xinxuan is regarded as the best name for cavalry in the world. Do you know why?”.

Li Xiao wanted to shook his head, but suddenly remembered the Dyrumma Grand Ceremony that I had watched in Kai~lightnovelpub.net~ and said: "I guess the two arches are the inheritance of my Takeda family through generations, and the story of the master of the martial arts family. The reason."

Tsuchiya Masahiro said: "Lord, just like that, I am Kai's equestrian warrior, the equestrian power is second to none in the world, this is not something that other countries can emulate. So my Takeda family's riding team is definitely the best in the world."

Li Xiao nodded when he heard it. He remembered that if Tsuchiya Masahiro said so, he must be very skilled in the art of bowing horses, and when he was less than ten years old, he participated in the Dyspross horse racing competition. This art of bowing horses is definitely It is the true story of Takeda Ryu.

At that time, Li Xiaoyan said: "Chang Heng, I will now order you to be the general of the horse riding team to train this army for the **."

Tsuchiya Masahiro was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately bowed down and said, "Thank you, lord, the minister must do his best."

This opportunity to become a cavalry general is something that Tsuchiya Masahiro couldn't even imagine at his age, so it's no wonder that he was overjoyed.
