How powerful are the "two guards" in Toyotomi Hideyoshi? What is it used for?

The two guards in ancient Toyotomi Hideyoshi were similar to those in ancient China, and both belonged to directly affiliated units. That is to say, Sineitai under the command of the Lord, only accept the Lord's orders, others can't mobilize them. They don't have any specific work, but in their daily life, they mainly protect the Lord, and then they may engage in some special tasks. Of course, these tasks are also sent by the Lord. Of course, these special tasks cannot be accomplished by other arms, mainly including the following:

1, special target elimination

First of all, these special tasks are likely to be the elimination of some special targets, that is, enemy forces that cannot be eliminated in public in conventional operations. Of course, these goals are generally big shots, because an ordinary small goal is not worth using these forces. After receiving the task, the two guards will analyze the battle plan, make the battle plan, and predict the possible emergencies. After determining how to implement it, they will resolutely carry out the task.

2, small unit action

Secondly, they mostly carry out small-scale military operations, that is to say, military operations only suitable for special forces. Generally speaking, such operations are not suitable for group operations, and the task is particularly arduous. Therefore, they can only use some people with special abilities to organize small battle groups. Of course, this task is certainly difficult. Even the two guards themselves are at risk of failure, but there should be no more suitable candidates besides them.

3. Engage in espionage or counter-espionage activities.

In addition to the above main activities, these people will also take part-time jobs and engage in some espionage or anti-espionage activities, but they are mainly anti-espionage, because during the war, both the enemy and our side planted spies in the other camp to a greater or lesser extent, and these spies are not easy to find out. To find these spies, you must have a considerable degree of professional means and skills, so there are arms specialized in such activities among these people.
