.Chapter 194 Ikeda recruits soldiers

On the first day of the official opening of the pharmacy, the old military doctor from Kudo family was pretending to take the patient's pulse, while casually asking about the patient's symptoms. While I was listening carefully, Chinese medicine emphasizes looking, listening, asking and cutting, and I can't take the pulse. However, through looking, listening, you can generally understand most of the diseases.

After some inquiry and observation, Takezo Goro looked at me and nodded, took back his fingers for the pulse, picked up a brush and drew it on the paper for a while. Picasso's abstract painting is really a pediatric art compared to the prescription prescribed by the quack doctor. As a deputy, I picked up the prescription to get medicine for the patient.

No one can understand the house opened by Takezo Goro, and even Takezo Goro himself can't understand it. How could a man who killed pigs later sold wild medicine have the opportunity to read? In this era, monks had the highest proportion of literacy. Yes, monks all need to write Chinese poems. If you don't know Chinese characters, you can't even be a monk. This is a major threshold for distinguishing little novice monks from Zen masters. This is also why I can be called a Zen master as soon as I become a monk. I have done Chinese poems at various tea parties in Kyoto before. Everyone knows this. Although the poems are not very good, just by knowing Chinese characters, it is already the level of a high-level intellectual in Japan. In addition to monks who want to read literacy, all kinds of literati (to put it bluntly), masters and samurai are all

Those who need to read literacy are different from those of China. Chinese farmers can also read and read, and finally take the exam for scholars, juren, jinshi and then become officials, and even get the position of prime ministers above ten thousand people. In Japan, farmers were deprived of the right to study and become officials in disguise because there was no set of imperial examinations here, so what's the use of knowing words? There were no private schools such as scholars, and there were no Gongyuan Imperial College run by the state. In this era, the best private schools in Japan were not in Kyoto, but in Ashikagaojo in Shimonoku, which was also the hometown of General Ashikaga. It was not surprising to see this. In addition to teaching parents, those who want to learn to read can only spend a lot of money to ask teachers to teach to read.

Nowadays, pharmacies are no longer the era of folk remedies for treating serious diseases. My subordinate Maeda Genyu knows some medical skills. He has learned a lot of prescriptions from him these days. Based on the observed condition and the patient's dress, I knew that this patient was a poor man and basically had no illness. If he is sick, he was also anemia caused by malnutrition. To put it bluntly, he was hungry. When he arrived at the medicine cabinet, I told the friend, "Go and catch thirty kilograms of whale meat and a small bucket of whale oil." For hunger disease, it is really better to supplement medicine than food. As long as you eat enough, you will lose any disease.

The guy was stunned for a moment and immediately reacted and ran to the whale house next door to catch medicine. I could naturally take the whale house things on credit indefinitely. Anyway, I took my own.

Looking at the patient who left the whale meat and whale. The oil, I sighed in my heart: I have paid hundreds of dollars for a good reputation. For the past half a day, I only sold eight kilograms of Korean ginseng. The poor man came a large piece and it cost a lot of medicine to deliver free medical treatment. When will this ginseng be the sucker for eating rice? In fact, I also eat this ginseng, but not as rice. It is used as a seasoning for ginger. A small piece of Korean ginseng is cut into stewed in this pot of dish. After all, this ginseng is used to nourish or to save lives for seriously ill patients. If the whole piece is used to cook noodles, it is certain that even if you only eat noodles, you will have a nosebleed after eating them.

Just think of spending money to buy a reputation, after all, I have spent a lot of money on small advertisements all over the world these days.

There was no other way to take care of Zhuzo Goro who helped me to take care of me. At a disadvantage, Zhuzo Goro opened a nourishing shop. Today, he met a few rich people, and he fooled them all, so he bought some high-end medicinal herbs and went to drink the pure fresh milk of the girl who was opened by Zhuzo Goro. After hearing my opinion, Zhuzo Goro made an ice cellar in the backyard. Every night, every night, the pure fresh milk of the girl who was not sold during the day was sealed and placed on ice insurance. After all, this milk was not drunk every day when it was opened, but these nutritious, high-grade milk was produced every day. Although the refrigerated milk was sold at a cheap price, it attracted the welcome of some middle-income people. After all, it was half price, and it was always very expensive for one person to serve.

Takezo Goro cut the next patient's pulse again, and I used to it. I looked up and looked at his expression and was stunned for a moment. In front of me, he was really an acquaintance - Hiroki Ikeda. Hiroki Ikeda's current territory is Kazutsu and Hiroki, and I am neighbors with me, but I didn't expect that he could come to see me. He would not go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. It seems that there must be something to come to me.

I asked the guy to continue to give instructions to end today's free clinic and let those who are queuing up and registering will come again tomorrow.

‘Is Your Highness Ikeda sick too? We are the only one here to treat the disease of the willow.’ Ikeda and Ikeda were joking.

Yoshihiko Ikeda took it back. He said, "I didn't have it. I'm asking you for something this time. I'm going to cause trouble for you again."

"I am all my own people, so Is it troublesome? Let's talk about it, do you need iron cannons or military rations?" I think these are the things. The Whale House is still in my hands. Even if the Kudo family's military supplies are coming to get them, I have to personally give them instructions. After I left the Kudo family, this matter seemed a little troublesome. In the past, as long as the Whale House was from the Kudo family, there was no distinction between them. Now I hand over the military power, but I have not handed over the financial power of the Whale House that supports the military power, and its status is not much lower than before.

Yoshihiko Ikeda's eyes lit up, 'It would be better if there are iron cannons and military rations. But this time I mainly come to ask for your consent, and collect ronin in Ishiyama Town and Jekima Town. Of course, I don't think there are few iron cannons and military rations."

‘Collection of ronin?’ The city of Kakoyuan has been given nominally to Uesugi Kenshi's second son Chiyo Tsuruchi, but because Uesugi Kenshi's mother eagle felt that the wings of the two children had not grown strong yet, he decided to let the child learn for a few years under his own teaching before sending them to the city lord. So the city of Kakoyuan is still managed by my subordinates. Daming wanted to publicly recruit ronin in Ishiyama or Jetta Town without my consent, and the Whale House Iron Cannon Team would be invited out with my head. ‘Well, now Daming in Kanto Kanxi has been reduced in holdings, and retainers have been laid off to balance income and expenditure. A large number of ronin traveled around to seek opportunities to become officials. As the richest places in the world, there should be many ronin waiting for the opportunity to become officials. Ikeda Jun.’

'If you agree or not, give me a clear statement.'

I continued slowly, "If these ronin people cannot find the opportunity to become an official for a long time, they may gather in Xiaoshanlin and become bandits. The Ikeda family, the most important family that they rely on for the Oda family, is also a blessing they have cultivated in their previous lives." After that, I took a piece of paper that Takezogoro prescriptions, wrote an "approval" and handed it over to Hirokkai Ikeda.

Yoshiki Ikeda knotted it into a ball, stuffed it into his sleeve, and scolded, "I'm still playing this with me." He turned around and asked again, "Do you want to go together? Do you learn a little too?"

After thinking about it, the free clinic was over and there was nothing important today. Why not go and check it out with him and nod your head to agree. ‘Okay.’

After Ikeda Hengxing and I went out, they didn't get into the car. Instead, they arrived at the whale house next door and shouted loudly, "Come a barrel of oil and a stone of rice. All of them were moved to the car, and then filled my ox cart with whale meat."

Those who can work here have three to five years of experience in Whale House, and they are all familiar faces I know. Seeing that it was me who came together, I started loading the ox cart of Yoshikyo Ikeda without saying a word.

It turned out that he was using me as a gun again. Seeing that Yoshihiro Ikeda pretended to take out his wallet to check the accounts, I waved my hand and said, "Forget it, this is just the tip of the iceberg you have taken. It's not worth it."

Yoshiki Ikeda took the opportunity to take back his wallet, ‘I knew you were a good person.’

Yes, the man even sent me a good person card. Let's see, but there was no woman who sent me a good person card.

After leaving the house, I realized something was wrong. First, Yoshihiro Ikeda only brought one ox cart, and second, it was now full of food. ‘Where to go first?’

‘Ishiyama Town and Jekima Town are almost the same as here, but Ishiyama Town is closer to my territory. Today I went to Ishiyama Town first.’ Ikeda Hengxing’s words, who became the general, have a bit of guidance in his words.

I stared at the ox cart that was back with a load and said, 'This is not a problem, the question is, how can we go?'

‘How to go, of course I was walking with my feet.’ Ikeda said disapprovingly, ‘I have been making a ox cart for most of the day today, and my bones are almost broken. It’s easy to loosen my muscles after walking.’

Damn it, I knew I shouldn't have come out with him. But now I have any carriages and horses around me. I breathed a sigh of relief, 'Forget it, just use it as exercise, and hire a car when I come back.'

Yoshihiro Ikeda gave me a bad idea, "If you feel tired, you can sit on the shaft of the car. If you are not afraid of being high, you can sit on the roof of the car as well."

‘Forget it, I’m even more afraid of the cold.’ How fast can the ox cart be? I’m just going to be warm in the car. I can’t do anything to sit outside and suffer from the cold and wind.

In order to relieve fatigue on the way, Ikeda Hirokyoshi talked to him without saying a word, "Why do you think of recruiting ronin from me? Photographing Tianjin and Bomo are both great powers? What's the problem with gathering thousands of peasant soldiers to fight against North Korea?"

'You are not in charge, do you know how many months to send troops? In early April! It is the busy farming season after the spring, when the farming industry is ready, water diversion, irrigation, fertilization, seedling cultivation, seedling planting, and how much is there to do in the field? Who will farm after the peasant soldiers are recruiting? What should I do if the harvest this year? I have recruited more than 2,000 ronin people in Sejin and Pomo, and then recruiting this number to you is considered to be all." Ikeda Hirokage counted his fingers.

‘More than two thousand? Is this number really difficult?’ After all, Ishiyama-cho and Jeki-cho are not countries, but commercial towns developed from the market port. It is a country among the country. I can’t stand whether there is a ronin with this number.

‘Don’t understand?’ Hiroki Ikeda began to teach me, ‘Ishiyama-cho and Jekimachi are the fastest news. As long as the ronin is summoned here on a large scale, ronin from other places will flock to it. Don’t say two or three thousand, if you have money and food, it is not a problem to recruit 20,000 or 30,000 to wait for the officialdom.’ The first choice of the samurai is to become an officialdom family and get rewards for money, grain and land. This is an iron rice bowl. The second choice is to work for merchants, and the treatment is good, but wait

When you get old, no one wants it. The third choice is to find some equally down-and-out warriors, gather in the mountains and occupy the mountains and become kings. They live by robbing small villages and small caravans. It is a pleasure to live, but it is also a life of hunger and fullness. If the rent in the local daimyo is robbed, soldiers will be sent to wipe out. Except for those soldiers and bandits, I have never heard of any bandit who can last for more than five years in one place. Either they are wiped out or driven away.

We sent troops in April, and after fighting North Korea and Ming Kingdom, it will be at least next year when I appear. It is better to be low-key this year, and when they hit a nail, they will remember my goodness. I kept comforting myself that today we retreated for a big step forward in order to make great progress in the future.

With someone chatting, I didn’t feel tired no matter how far I walked. When I arrived at Ishiyama Town, I found that my legs were filled with lead and could no longer be lifted, and I didn’t want to lift them anymore. I didn’t change my shoes and sat on the steps of the entrance hall of the house to rest.

Ikeda Hengxing and his men seemed to be used to it, and they started to clean up without even breathing. They inserted it outside for a long time. The font was already a bit old brand - quickly recruiting knights. It seemed like this before the war. These ronin knew that they were collected as war cannon fodder, but they didn't care. They jumped in without hesitation under the temptation of money and food and generous rewards after the war. Perhaps the desire for war has become a part of these people's blood.

Two large iron pots for marching were set up in the yard and the house, one cooking rice to make rice balls, and the other stewing whale meat from the whale house today. Not long after, the aroma of the food began to spread inside and outside the house. At this time, the work of recruiting ronin had just begun. More hungry people were attracted by the aroma of the food from hundreds of meters away.

Ikeda Hokkai recruited ronin with a realistic style, and the four words were fully used to fully use. After the ronin came in, he first asked which finite ronin to recruit ronin. Some samurai with strong character would not serve in the martial arts families of the enemy country back then. Moreover, merchants also recruited ronin as bodyguards. At this time, the samurai had to consider the surplus grain in the bag and whether to temporarily work as a short-term worker.

When Ikeda Yoshikkai met every wild samurai who was willing to come in and try it, he first conducted an administrative review. His name, age, which one had been in office before, who was the martial arts master, whether he had led the army, whether he had learned military tactics, etc. These must be recorded and archived one by one, and people will be sent to confirm it later.

In the eyes of Hiroki Ikeda, those who dare to enter the house to seek officialdom are all things that can be made. If they have never brought soldiers, it doesn't matter. Whoever has brought soldiers after they were born. Martial arts is a wild way, it doesn't matter. This school is created by humans, and maybe they can establish a sect in the future. They are illiterate, have never learned military tactics, and have never been an official. They just kill the remaining soldiers on the battlefield and robbed a samurai sword and started to come out and make a fuss. This is easy to say, start with a spear and foot. A journey of a thousand miles begins with the feet.

If you don't deserve it, you won't ride it even if you are worth it. Take two rice balls and go and rest first. What? Meat? Meat is for samurai. Do you understand the rules? I have never heard of God as a person who will give great responsibilities. He must first suffer his mind and mind, tired his muscles and bones, hungry his body, empty his body, and act in turmoil. Therefore, he will be moved and endure his nature and increase his ability. Forget you, I have never heard of it. I will tell you something simple. If you want to eat meat, it is easy. If you make meritorious and become a samurai, you will have meat every time.

Nowadays, those who come to the office are all second-rate and third-rate products. Unless a famous master is blind, they will be exiled. Even the first-rate products occasionally appear on the market and are also the target of everyone's purchase. They are superb martial arts, know how to use military tactics, and have led soldiers. What else do you want?

After resting for a while, my stomach was a little empty, so I used a rib gap to snatch a piece of meat from the pot and Ikeda Hokkiyo's speed. I don't know how long it will take to attract people. Do you still have to spend the night here? That night, you can consider going to Kabukicho Street to sleep with these wild samurai who have just finished their wandering life. I feel insecure. The male style is prevalent in this world. What if there are two rabbit gods here?

‘Hey, Ikeda Temple, you’re too slow.’ In my opinion, it’s better to use classification method. Just separate those who have led the soldiers from those who have not led the soldiers. There are always a few who have led the soldiers, and the majority of who have been led. Those who have brought the soldiers themselves will become samurai, and the rest will be the most important ones to let their men entertain.

After exceeding the boundary of fatigue and smoking in his throat, Yoshihiko Ikeda explained, "There is no way. I'm going to go to sea in two months. There's no time left. I have to let all of these people know me."

"I understand." It's a big taboo if the soldiers do not recognize generals on the battlefield. Why did the 800,000 imperial guards of the Song Dynasty have not had such a little combat power? It is because the soldiers do not recognize generals. Lin Chong claimed that the 800,000 imperial guards were wronged and imprisoned. Afterwards, no imperial guards or generals of the imperial guards avenged him. Why? The 800,000 imperial guards will tell you an answer: Who is Lin Chong? Asking him for justice? I can only know him. I guess the leopard head Lin Chong is not as popular as the old man who watched the gate on the imperial guards' playground. After all, this position can be held for many years. And the position of the 800,000 imperial guards is replaced every day.

I patted Hirokyoshi Ikeda on the shoulder to encourage him, "I'm going out to find Miss Hua to work in the west, your slow tricks, I'll see you tomorrow."

It is not much to say that I can understand in Chinese and Japanese, but Ikeda Hengxing is one of them, and he is used to it, "I know, I know. Should I send a few people to accompany you?"
