"Daimyo's Residence?"
Hearing Kakashi say this, Qi couldn't help but be startled. This matter is indeed a big deal. How could these guys change their bosses so suddenly?
"So the identity of these guys is that they belong to the ninja army directly under Feudal Lord of Hot Water, not Yugakure?"
It's not that Qi didn't know that in this Hokage world called the Age of Ninja, the army of the Ninja Village was not the only army in the Ninja Country. The daimyo also had an army on hand, but he really didn't know the official name of this army.
Now, he knows, it turns out to be called Prefecture Army... This is really a simple and almost lazy naming. It shows that people in this world really have no accomplishments in naming. Of course, this can be seen from the name of the country...
Kaguya Ogata, although Qi Lai is almost completely blank in terms of ninjutsu training guidance, it is not without its merits. In addition to teaching Qi Yi a fairly good foundation in Taijutsu, it is the "Hokage World Literacy Course" that is comprehensive but not detailed.
For a long time, Qi Zheng was able to understand from the day-to-day literacy classes of Kaguya Ogata that this was a world with the name Hokage, but it was completely different from the comics in his previous life. Otherwise, so many "real details" that were inconsistent with the comics would have killed him long ago.
Prefecture Army is actually a type of ninja army. It is also the product of the wave of mutual annexation between countries decades ago. The official establishment of the so-called ninja era was also directly derived from that crazy annexation war.
In that war, for the first time, ninjas appeared not as a large-scale family team, but as an army. The result was an almost instantaneous end to the traditional armies that countries had practiced for many years and were temporarily formed by civilians with a little training.
If we want to use an analogy, then today's Konoha Ninja Army is the streamlined model of the new ninja army at that time. At that time, although there was no cannon fodder mass production base like Ninja Academy, which resulted in the scale of the ninja army being extremely limited, the quality was also guaranteed. Even the weakest Genin could easily kill dozens of peasant soldiers by one person.
Under such circumstances, weak countries naturally had no choice but to be slaughtered by others, while powerful countries abandoned and disbanded their traditional old-fashioned armies and began to vigorously support the ninja army. In addition to funding local ninja wealthy families to form large-scale ninja villages, the daimyo themselves also began to use the secondary ninja families who directly defected to them to train their own ninja legions!
After all, the ninja village's army only has a mutually beneficial relationship with the daimyo. The daimyo has the right to order them to fight, but does not have the right to direct command. In terms of mobility, although once the troops are sent out, they can sweep through everything with lightning speed. However, due to the complexity of the organization of the ninja village itself, the dispatch of troops from the ninja village often has to go through fierce internal games first, and it is impossible to respond to the daimyo's request in the first time.
Therefore, Prefecture Guard was born from this. Although those secondary ninja families cannot create super masters for the daimyo to use like the strong clans, they can be used to train middle-level and grassroots sergeants with better results. Moreover, this is an army directly under their own family. The highest commander is the daimyo himself. The daimyo's orders are enough to ensure that they are executed immediately...
The most important thing is that the composition of the ninja village is too complex, and the ninja army formed as a result has loose management and pursues the master effect. Although the combat effectiveness is far superior to ordinary people, it also results in the military system being inferior to even the militia. Even Rock Ninja, which is known as the strictest management, can only laugh at fifty steps. Everyone relies on masters to support them.
Among them, the most typical representatives are Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara. These two perverts do not need to bring subordinates to destroy the country and the army. One uses Space-Time Ninjutsu to effectively target the opponent's command level and play "decapitation tactics", and the other has gathered enough energy to enclose the land and plant trees and open map cannons. With this kind of perverted situation, the top management of the ninja village will naturally not take the so-called army management seriously.
Prefecture Army is different. It does not have super masters like Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, so it is not affected by this master complex. Although it has learned the ninja's chakra use skills, they practice the style of the army. Compared with the master effect, it focuses on teamwork, complete military management and training, making its grassroots combat power several times higher than that of the ordinary ninja army.
In fact, after all, Prefecture Army is like a standing army. It is the daimyo who insures the ninjas of the ninja village who like to go out to work to make extra money, and the management of the ninja village who like to fight in the den. If something happens and the ninja village cannot smoothly gather its military strength, then it is enough for the ninja village to send experts, and Prefecture Army will take care of other aspects.
Land of Fire was the first country in the ninja era to establish this dual military system. After Konoha Village established the first ninja army, First Fire Daimyo had an army between the ninja villages. Because the scale was too large, they A large number of ninja families who did not want to coexist with the Senju Clan and Uchiha in the same village were recruited to the government and formed the first Prefecture Army, and Land of Wind was the second one.
It is worth mentioning that in the naming of the Prefecture Army, these two daimyo once again demonstrated their poor naming skills. The two daimyo, who thought they were very literary, ordered the Prefecture Guard armor to be dyed with their own "national colors", Land of Fire took the color of fire, Land of Wind took the color of yellow sand, and then they actually called their own Prefecture Guard "Red Armor Soldiers" and "Yellow Armor Soldiers".
Although the names are embarrassing, it does not mean that the combat effectiveness is equally embarrassing, because these two armies will soon have a chance to prove themselves.
The two countries that took the lead in forming Prefecture Army also successfully handled this sudden crisis, which led to the effectiveness of the Prefecture Army being recognized by all countries, triggering a wave of the Prefecture Army formations that many countries followed after Ninja Village.
And the one who played a disgraceful, or perhaps unlucky, role in this crisis is Land of Valley, who now serves as the buffer state between the two countries.
Maybe the world was too crazy back then, and I don't know what kind of wind that Valley Daimyo had in those days. This monarch who also annexed many countries actually took advantage of Land of Fire's head. When Konoha Ninja Army was fighting in the north, and Land of Fire had disbanded the old army, Land of Valley, who also had a ninja army at hand at the time, sent out the entire country's elite to invade.
Thousands of ninjas, leading a hundred thousand old-fashioned troops, in a very short period of time, occupied a large territory in the southwest of Land of Fire, and directly approached the capital. This shows that Valley Daimyo is not so brainless after all. He also knew that as long as Feudal Lord of Fire was destroyed, he could take over all the Land of Fire ninja forces represented by Konoha. After all, everyone was dead, so Konoha would not die.
But his unlucky part is this time, because this time is also the time when Land of Fire Prefecture Army training is completed.
First Fire Daimyo is different from First Hokage. This person not only loves face, but also works part-time as a fanatical martial arts sect. If you want to change someone, you may have to negotiate first. After all, your ninja army is still in the north and competing with powerful enemies, right? Who knows whether this Prefecture Army is of use? After all, it was originally used to insure the soldier reserves of the ninja village.
First Fire Daimyo, who was obsessed with face and advocated violence, naturally would not be so rational. He immediately issued the order for the Prefecture Army to go to war, and also sounded the final horn to end the old-fashioned militia army.
Ten thousand Red Armor Soldiers, when Konoha urgently recalled several experts to lead the team, directly ran into the Land of Valley army on the outskirts of the capital, and then fought To determine the outcome, with all the princes losing their minds, half of Land of Valley's one hundred thousand troops were killed, and the rest almost fled back to Land of Valley crying for their fathers and mothers all the way.
If it was just that, it would be okay. At least most of Land of Valley's elites had been preserved, and there was no need to turn into a third-rate country like today. But Valley Daimyo was so confused that he couldn't hold back his desire to expand the country's territory. He set his sights on Land of Wind, because the Sunagakure Ninja army happened to be fighting in the north and couldn't get away.
He admitted losing to the Red Armored Army. Who would have known that the group of heavy-armored infantry created by Feudal Lord of Fire was so perverted? Even the weapons were processed by ninjutsu. Those soldiers were obviously ninjas, right? How could they be willing to play in battle formations like ordinary soldiers? What a self-destruction...
However, Land of Wind's new army seems to be only 6,000 desert cavalry. These people must not be ninjas, right? I have never heard of a ninja army riding horses! At most, it is just to get some equipment processed by ninjutsu. I still have hundreds of high-level ninjas on hand. It must be easy to deal with that group of ordinary people!
So, the last strength of Land of Valley entered the territory of Land of Wind. After First Fire Daimyo learned the news, he burst into tears of laughter. Only Land of Wind had a cavalry army, and this unlucky boy actually went to mess with Land of Wind who also had Prefecture Army...
As a dignified nobleman, Wind Daimyo will certainly not bear such "insult". Doesn't he seem to be easier to bully than Feudal Lord of Fire?
If Land of Valley's army could still escape in the face of Red Armor Soldiers's group of infantry, then it would be a complete tragedy to face Yellow Armor Sand Cavalry, the six thousand proficient scimitars led by Sunagakure Ninja masters who were fighting Kazuma's mounted archers.
The scimitar that can transmit changes in wind properties, the arrowheads engraved with the Explosive Tag curse, and the mass-destruction ninjutsu of the Sunagakure Ninja master, the three combined into one, created Land of Valley's nightmare.
Under the orders of the masters of Sunagakure Ninja, Yellow Armor Sand Cavalry drove these unlucky ghosts all the way to the outskirts of the capital of Land of Valley. Then, in front of the pale-faced Valley Daimyo who was already standing at the top of the city, he killed all the remaining troops of Land of Valley. After that, he took their trophies - hundreds of heads of Land of Valley senior ninjas and set off to return home.
From then on, no one regarded Prefecture Army as a game created by two big names on a whim. Even Konoha and Sunagakure at that time, after realizing the value of the Prefecture Army, sent a large number of Experts came to help train, and some were appointed by the daimyo as senior commanders of the Prefecture Army. Taking Land of Fire as an example, the so-called Twelve Guardian Ninja is the highest-level commander in the Prefecture Army besides the daimyo.
Therefore, Kakashi is the one who made things worse, because this army belongs to the establishment of Daimyo's Residence, not the Ninja Village. The Shinobi World war is not within the scope of its intervention, and naturally the Ninja Village cannot take action against it...
In the end, one level controls the other, the ninja village plays with the ninja village, the daimyo plays with the daimyo, and no one can interfere randomly.
