Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 107 The Xiu family is looking for Yuan Qin to pick fruits

In October of the 11th year of Tensho (November 1583), due to the snowfall in Bizen in central Japan, after a year and a half of integration, Ukita's internal affairs have become smoother.

The Hongwen Museum has exported more than 4 concentric congregations for 700 sessions, and they have entered the 9 halls under the Yuxiduo Tongzheng Yuan, and gradually replaced the temporary conscripts of merchants and monks.

With the increase of concentric groups and powerful groups, the processing efficiency of various practices under the new system has also gradually increased. Kamei Tomoki has initially completed the editing work of the fields in each county of the three countries and is compiling them into a book.

In the first year of his duty, he found trouble with Kagetsugu Kusakari, who was transferred to Inabayodoyama Castle during the Misaka Rebellion. After inspection, he was found to be 5400 shi on the surface and 5740 shi in real height. stone.

After reporting to Hideo Ukita’s family, not only the hidden 340 shi high was confiscated, but it was also divided by the penalty height of 3400 shi, which was reduced to 2000 shi for the banner crowd, and no longer awarded the city.The Xiu family originally assigned them to the Jinshan Congregation's military service and became directly governed congregations with high collars.

Unexpectedly, Kagetsugu Kusakari refused to accept it, refused to defend Yodoyama Castle, and contacted the Misaku family in an attempt to rebel. As a result, the day after he sent a message to Yoshioka Dadakatsu to attempt a joint rebellion, before the news of his rebellion reached Okayama, Yoshioka Dingkatsu led 400 "fubing" to level the mountain.

The head of the family, Kagetsugu Kusakari, sent his family members to Okayama by Yoshioka Takakatsu and handed them over to the Hide family. The Hide family gave them 200 shi Zhixing and placed them in Bizen Akasaka, becoming ordinary military servicemen under the direct control of Bizen.

And Yoshioka Dingkatsu was awarded 2000 shi for his meritorious service, and the height of all the stones was 1.2 shi. He successfully joined the ranks of Uki's many important ministers. He can finally make up a complete new military camp of 500 people
Then the Xiu family took Kagesuke Kusakari as an example and asked each family to report hiding Shigao as soon as possible, and gave them another 3 months to make a supplementary report, and Osafune Tsunao will conduct a random inspection three months later.

Three months later, Osafuna Tsunao was the first to find trouble with the Miura family. In the original report to Kamei Tomoki, the Miura family was 2 stones taller than Arita. It happened, and the Miura family added 1500 shi, and the total stone height after the update was 2.15 shi, which is undoubtedly a big family.

As a result, after inspection, it was found that the actual height of the Miura family was 2.23 shi, which was equivalent to 800 shi in the Miura family's hidden field. Therefore, the Miura family was reduced to 8800 shi in Ichinose Castle. Wan Shi, and was asked to live in seclusion and reflect.

The Hide family was very careful when dealing with Miura Sadahiro, and directly mobilized 6000 people in the territory, Kamichibu and Minobei, plus the standing staff, directly stationed in the Fudu Castle of the Takayama Clan.

Fortunately, Hideka’s fire left behind Saga Mountain Castle, and Kusakari Kagetsugu’s pearls and jades were in front. Ukita Hide’s family even stationed 6000 people between Ichinose Castle and Inari Mountain Castle, directly cutting off the connection between the two cities of Miura’s family. Miura Sadhiro didn't dare to make any changes, obediently handed over the territory of Ichinose Castle, and moved to Inari Mountain Castle to live in seclusion.

Osafune Tsunao became famous in the first battle, just as he was in charge of seizing land in history, he was given the title of "Hungry Ghost Tsunao", which means that he is strict in seizing land, just like an evil ghost rushing to eat.

It's just that the political environment at this time is different from that in 1600 in history. For one thing, the Xiu family at this time has more prestige than the Xiu family who has no achievements in history and only knows about fighting eagles and running dogs.

Secondly, at this time, the older generation of retainers in Ukido, such as Hanabou Masayuki, Oka Toshikatsu, Togawa Hidean, Nasafune Sadakin, and Akaishi Keiki, are still built here, and there is a Sanshicheng 2.4 shi His old father Changchuan Zhenqin sits in town.

Most of the older generations have long-term lifelong friendships, and several of them are married to each other.

With sensible parents watching, the second generation below will not react too aggressively.

Thirdly, Miura Hirosada was shameless at both ends of the snake and mouse in the battle of Mizusa. The family has not had many intersections for a long time, and they are all members of the Uki family. The Hide family handles the affairs of the Miura family. To outsiders interrupted.

Therefore, Osafune Tsunao's land inspection was completed relatively smoothly. Of course, Xiujia also noticed some voices of opposition in the collar, and ordered Osafune Tsunao to change the inspection of Osafune's direct inspection to 1-2 inspections a year.

And told him to try his best to pick the families who lost power at home for inspection, and he still had to pick the soft persimmons.Xiujia was afraid that he would trouble Ukita Kane and Togawa Hidean next, causing unnecessary trouble.

The Xiu family now understands that the land seizure is like the sword of Damorus chosen on the heads of retainers. In the future, it is a good excuse to cut down the feudal clan by going to seize the land if anyone is unhappy.

At the same time, after the new seal was reported and inspected, the total stone height of Misaka rose to 18.7 stones, the height of Bizen stones was 25.5 stones, that of Bichu was 23.2 stones, that of Inaba Chito was 1.62 stones, and that of Harima was 5.5 stones. Yuxiduo currently has an actual control of 74.52 shi.

Of course, in another prefectural catalog reported to Hashiba Hideyoshi, the height of the Mizuo stone is 14.5 stone, Bizen is 22.1 stone, Bichu is 18.5 stone, Zhitou is 1.1 stone, and Harima is 5.5 stone. 61.7 shi.

While Hideya was paying attention to the collar, he received a letter from Sanuki Shido Josangawa Iemitsu.

Changzong Gabu Yuanqin, who was once intimidated by Nobunaga's power, quickly realized that this was a turning point in the world's transformation and an opportunity for him to unify the four kingdoms after hearing the news of the change in Honnoji Temple.

Therefore, Changzong Gabu Motokin took advantage of the one and a half years of civil strife in the Oda family to attack on all sides again, attacking Awa, Sanuki, and Iyo countries in succession, vowing to take all the four countries into his pocket.

Awa's Miyoshi family was the first to collapse after losing Nobunaga's support.

In August of last year, Yuanqin fought with Toka Cunbao, who was staying at Katsuzui Castle, in Nakatomigawa outside the city. Toka Cunbao was defeated and fled to Toramaru Castle alone in the Sanuki country. Miyoshi's family could only retreat to Awa Naruto's Tucou City resisted stubbornly.

Seeing that Miyoshi's family is no longer a big weapon, Chang Zong and I are going to turn their guns around, first evaluate Sanuki and then come back to clean up the small fish of Miyoshi's family.

In October of the tenth year of Tensho, when the Hide family was reorganizing the territory, the Nagamune family swept Sanuki. After losing the support of Nobunaga, the wealthy families in Sanuki, such as the Yubutsu family, were killed one by one. beat.

Even the Takimiya family who shouted "I and Changzong and my clan are inseparable" at the beginning chose to surrender under Yuanqin's offensive, even declaring the Oda family's innocence with snot and tears.

By June of the 11th year of Tensho, only the Kosai family, the Samukawa family, and the Shihe family remained in the Sanuki territory, still resisting.

By October, with Yuan Qin conquering Shihe Castle, not only was there only Toramaru Gucheng left in Shihe Depository, but it also directly cut off the two lines between Samukawa Ieshido Castle and Kosai Family Wang Zuoshan Castle, and the situation in Sanuki was already in jeopardy. .

Even within the Samukawa family, there were voices of surrendering Iemitsu Samukawa to the Changzong Gabu family.

Hideka saw that the situation in Sanuki was developing as he expected. The rich family in Sanuki was directly replaced by the Changzonggabu family. In addition to being grateful to the Changzonggabu family, the Hideka was still grateful. I know it's time to ask Yuan Qin to pick the fruit
After receiving a request for help from Iemitsu Kosangawa, Hideka urgently sent him a battalion of standing guards to help guard Shido Castle, and at the same time issued a general mobilization order to the three kingdoms in the territory, and the newly acquired Ako, Zuo Yong will not send troops for the time being.

This time the general mobilization is different from the previous ones. Xiujia requires each family to mobilize the largest proportion according to the requirements of the military service certificate. Take Xiujia's direct jurisdiction as an example.

There are 3378 military service households who have made meritorious service many times before. In previous wars, it was only necessary for each county division to form a full-scale military service. This time, the experts directly asked the upper road equipment to form two full-scale equipment teams, which were divided into left and right equipment.

There are 1830 military service members in Minobei and 1675 in Oku County. Hideka asked each of the two counties to dispatch a full-staffed reserve team.

There were only more than 1200 households in Misaku Tsuyama's military service before, and Hideka was formed by mixing 1000 military households with Yoshioka Takatsu and Kamei Tomoki's backup teams.

Now that Mizuo has been resealed and the land of Mizuo has been seized, there are currently 1345 military households in Mizuo, plus 500 people from Yoshioka Takakatsu and 300 people from Kamei Tomoki, Hideka split it into two dissatisfied families The reserve team, the reserve captains are Kamei Tomoki and Yoshioka Takasagi, and the remaining number is filled by the American troops, which is the C reserve team.

而对于军役不满1500户的郡如磐梨775户、赤坂1018、津高894户、和气572户、儿岛郡452户五郡以及备中高松867户，则被秀家统一编成3个备队，分别为高松、赤坂、和气3个满编备队。

According to the requirements of the military service certificate, only the direct jurisdiction of Xiujia can mobilize 13006 people. This time, it will be organized into 6 B-type reserve teams, with a total of 9500 people, and Jinshan will be organized into 2 D-type reserve teams with 1200 people.

In terms of the reserve team of the noble family, Yu Xita’s family needs to compile a full-stacked reserve team of the second class and a reserve team of the third class. All other noble families will form 1 reserve teams of the third class nearby according to the requirements of military service.

So far, Hideka’s army formation in Sanuki has been completed, including 2 regular reserves, 3 A-type reserves, 8 B-type reserves, 2 C-type reserves, and 8 A total of 31500 troops including the Class D reserve team.

Hideya has a total of 3 people stationed in Beichu with Tsuyama's left and right backup teams, Hanafo Masayuki, and Oka Toshikatsu as the main three D-type backup teams. They bring 7500 troops with them to cross the sea from Okayama to support Iemitsu Samukawa, and vow to establish a The new Ukita order.
