Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 399 Preparing for the transfer of the Seven Kingdoms
Doi Qingliang is actually quite resistant to Hide's transfer of himself from Iyo to Izumo.

Although he has 2.5 Shi Zhixing, many of his subordinates were originally colleagues in the Xiyuan Temple family.

They saw a bigwig like the Xiu family on the Tuju Qingliang list, and after some persuasion, they were willing to give up their original collar and join the Xiu family.

Although they are his retainers in name, they are actually just an alliance with him.

If it was said that he persuaded them to follow what he said on the grounds of better development and still being in Iyo's territory, now that he is asked by the Hide family to transfer the title of Izumo, he really doesn't know how to persuade such a wealthy family.

But when he informed them of Xiujia's request for them to reseal Izumo, although they expressed some reluctance, they did not show resistance.

It turned out that it was because the Hanchuan family had exterminated the leaders and seized pearls and jades before them, so even though they were reluctant to transfer the Xiu family's request in every possible way, they dared not openly refuse again.

After Izumo's domestic distribution was completed, it was Misaku's turn.

In fact, in the previous transfer, the Xiu family transferred several lords in Meizuo who surpassed Wanshi to Boqi and Izumo, which can be regarded as vacating most of Meizuo.This will help Xiujia organize the beautiful works.

"The real job of the horse farm is transferred from the 1600 shi of Yijiutoshi City to the 2500 shi of Meizuo Youyuan City; Zhiyue Zhongqiu transferred the 1200 shi of Meizuo Yiwangshan City to the 1250 shi of Meizuo Shengshan City."

Baba Mizuki is the son of the Baba Shiko family. During the Battle of Kyushu, Baba Shiko led the way and was wounded by a spear.

Although he recovered his life through medical treatment afterwards, his lungs were injured, and he might not be able to become a samurai again in the future.

Therefore, he once asked the Xiu family to retire and take care of educating his grandson at home. With the permission of the Xiu family, the family supervisor of the racecourse fell to the real job of the racecourse. This person is the cousin of the Xiu family, and his mother is the daughter of the Xiu family. dear aunt.

It is also because of the fact that the racecourse worker, as the uncle of the Xiu family, retired because of the serious injury of the Xiu family, the Xiu family gave 900 shi as a seal, compared with his original 900 shi The territory is already a high-value seal.

Zhiyue Chongqiu was originally a retainer named Yuan Zeming. When the Xiu family dealt with the wealthy families of Meizuo, they asked them to separate their leading retainers from the wealthy families who were unwilling to transfer them out. Zhiyue Chongqiu was one of them.

After Zhiyue's family became independent, the Youyuan family's Zhixing dropped to 9200 shi. Since he was responsible for the reduction in ability and knowledge, he also gave up the position of family governor to his son Youyuan Zuozheng.

"Jiaonan Shigeyoshi added 230 stones, Mizusaka Dahata Castle's skills remained the same, total knowledge and practice 1750 stones; Yan Yuan Hidemasa transferred the seal of Takada Castle from 3200 stones of Mizusaki Oniyama Castle to 3500 stones."

"Osafune Tsuna directly guarded the beauty of Usaka Mountain Castle with 2200 shi, and Anayama Nobutada was awarded the beauty of Inari Mountain Castle with 1500 shi."

Others such as Makabe Harutoki, Nose Raikichi, Shingan Taro Hei, Kishimoto Sojiro and others were all assigned to Misaku, and the knowledge and practice of each person is generally around 1200-1600 shi.

From the above arrangements, it can be seen that most of the big-collar families in Meizuo have been transferred out, and the Xiu family's arrangements in Meizuo are all large banner books of one or two thousand stones.

In this way, the power of various powerful families in Meizuo, the neighboring country closest to the Xiu family and the original birthplace of Yuxi family, was weakened.

Only Zhixing, the in-law of Nasafune, was left with 3.32 shi, of which 2200 shi were given to his son Tsunao Nasao, who himself was not sealed.

In addition, the four families of Takeuchi, Goto, Jiangyuan, and Yuyuan know that they are close to or will exceed ten thousand shi. Banner.

These banner warriors are extremely dependent on the Xiu family, especially the banners with hundreds of shi and dozens of shi have been promoted in recent years by virtue of their military exploits. In the past, many of them were the second sons of rich families who did not have the right to inherit, or ordinary people. The leader of the ground attendant, what's more, the ordinary ashigaru used to become a samurai by virtue of his gains.

In the past, they will always be the people living at the bottom. They have no support in life and can only live by working for the daimyo.

Now, relying on the Yuxi family's policy of conferring military merits, they have obtained the conferment with their own hands, and have changed from a proletarian to a noble with land. In order to protect this hard-won land, they must maintain it by the Xiu family's side even more.

Through the entrustment in the past, the Hide family's meaning has been very clear, as far as possible to transfer the powerful family members and high-ranking retainers to distant countries, and the Meizuo and Bichu two countries close to Bizen will gradually be directly controlled by the Hide family. .

And Sanuki is an accident in this award, because it is close to Hideka's skill Bizen, so it is very convenient to take care of Bizen, but the lieutenant general is separated from the Seto Inland Sea, so it is not as safe as Meizuo and Bichu can be kept.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Hideka decided to arrange for his only relative in Misaku, so that even when he was not in the territory, Ukita Kanjia could help take care of Okayama Kazuto.

If it was sealed in Boqi, a distant country, half a month had passed since he received the news and brought people over, so the timeliness could not be guaranteed at all.

After all, in this era, what is more trustworthy than a pro fan?

After the arrangement of Meizuo, it is Beizhong. For the arrangement of Beizhong, Xiujia still makes arrangements according to the above guidelines.

花房正成备中总社城本城不变，加封1500石，知行变更为下道全郡（1.16）、上房全郡（1.14）、贺阳半郡1.75万石，总知行4.05万石。其中美作松山城4000石依旧作为花房正幸修养料。

Huafang Zhengcheng’s Zhixing was officially sealed with 1500 stones, but in fact it was 3500 stones less than the reward because the Xiu family separated Hanfang Zhixiu from the Hanfang family’s Zhixing and made it a retainer of Zhishenxiu’s family.

Takato Fujido seals 3000 shi, and brings 2.2 shi from the former Tianshenshan City to the beautiful work of Ahe and Zheduo. The two counties receive 2.7 shi, of which 2000 shi is Miss Lianzi's cosmetics.He specially ordered to rebuild the city in Xinjian, thinking of it as the city.

The Hide family moved Todo Takatora from Iyo to the northern part of Bichu. This is the mountainous area of ​​Bichu, and the basin floor of different sizes was split by the influence of the mountain shape.

This kind of terrain is actually not suitable for large and complete subdivisions. In the past, Xiujia has indeed been using this place to place small and medium banner books.

But the situation is different now. Now that the Hide family has acquired the Izumo Kingdom, and the overall national border has shifted to the west, how long Aga Tetsu in the northern part of Bichu is more important.

Because although this is a mountainous area, the roads in the valley extend in all directions, connecting the five countries of Hoki, Bingo, Izumo, Bizen, and Misaku.

Once these two counties are lost, the Hideka's influence on Hoki may still be there, but the influence on Izumo will definitely be greatly weakened. After all, once this place is lost, Hideka can only detour from Misaka to Hoki to enter Izumo, which will take more than double the time .

As a result, the narrow valley that no one cared about before became a strategically important place, and the Hide family had to move a trusted retainer to guard it, and Fujido Takatora was the most suitable in terms of knowledge, practice and ability.

The original Date Zhengheng in these two counties was moved by the Xiu family to Iyo Houyue County, and because his daughter Anan was the concubine of the Xiu family and was pregnant, the Xiu family awarded Houyue County 8000 shi and sealed 3000 shi.In addition, 5000 guan were allocated to build a city in Jingyuan.

Because this place is located on Sanyo Avenue, which is the first pass for the Mori family to enter Beizhong, the Xiu family must have everyone they trust to defend.

The Date family originally only had 3800 shi. After Anan was taken into the house by the Xiu family, they were successively sealed up to 5000 shi. Now they suddenly received 5000 shi. Firstly, Date Zhengheng won the trust of the Xiu family and was in charge of the defense. The Gongban's imperial audience, secondly, is because of the child in Anan's womb.

Another Ueki Takatomi was moved by the Hide family to Kamoyama Castle in Asakuchi County for 3500 shi, and another tycoon in Kawakami County Hirakawa Owawa was transferred to Nagayama Castle in Asakuchi County for 4200 shi.

Due to Huafang Zhengcheng's ability to move the seal, Zhuang Zhiqing, who originally belonged to the Yuangua City in Xiadao County, had to transfer the seal. He was arranged by the Xiu family to Zhefu Mountain City in Oda County for 1.9 shi, and received 1500 shi.

This place was originally the territory of the powerful Oda family. As early as when Xiu's family settled down with Akashi Jingqin, they were moved by Xiu's family to Kawakami County, Beizhong, for resettlement.

However, Ikaruga Heiji's skills at Kasaokayama Castle remained unchanged, and he was awarded 500 shi to 7200 shi, and continued to serve as the banner head of Qianguchi County. However, in the past, most of his samurai were the standing banner samurai of the Hide family, but now they have become two other powerful families.

The fief management of Iyo country is more troublesome, because while accepting the old territories of Kato Kiyomasa and Fukushima Masanori, the Hide family accepted many Iyo tyrants in their territories.

But fortunately, the Kono family, the largest powerful family in the northern part of Iyo, has now perished, and the Hide family does not need to worry about their handling problems like Takakage Kobayakawa in history.

Historically, Kobayakawa had a good death under the support of Kobayakawa, and even adopted the son of Shishido Motohide's son, Kono Tomori, this life was not smooth.

Because when Hideyoshi arranged the territory of Kato Kiyomasa and Fukushima Masamori, he did not consider the interests of the local wealthy family, and directly divided the territory of the Kono family in half, so that Kono Matsunao had to serve the two lords at the same time in name.

In addition, neither Kato Kiyomasa nor Fukushima Masanori were as talkative as Kobayakawa Takakage. In the end, Kono Tsurumo, who couldn't bear it, set off a rebellion flag in Iyo, which eventually led to Kono being changed and Kono Tsurumao died.

Because Kono Munichi had no heirs, he himself was adopted by Kono Nobutsu from the Murakami Michiyasu family, which eventually led to the demise of the Kono family.

Even if the Kono family perishes, there are still many powerful families in Kita Iyo, especially the powerful samurai originally under the tent of the Kono family, all of which must be resettled.

"Akashi Iyo made great contributions to the conquest of Kyushu, granted 4000 shi, and granted 3.5 shi to Ochi Kingdom's sub-mountain city, and transferred 3.9 shi to Iyo Onsen County, Heqi County Quanling, and Fengzao County. Yiyu. Another 3000 guan was allocated to rebuild and build Tangzhu Castle."

"Kamei hereby transfers 1.5 koku from Yokogawa Genjo Castle in Kume County to 1.75 koku of Matsumae Castle in Iyo County, and specially allocates 3000 koku to build and repair Matsumae Castle."

In the past, the Xiu family didn't care about whether or not to build a city in the enfeoffed territory. They decided this part after they were enfeoffed.

Only places where cities need to be built at particularly important passes, such as Matsue Castle in Izumo and Ibara Castle in Bichu, will be allocated additional funds by the Hideka for places where the Hideka asked to build new cities.

After all, as far as the retainers are concerned, I have been awarded a total of ten thousand stone lands. There are original cities in the territory that can be used. Why should I rebuild the city fortress?
This is entirely out of your lord's strategic considerations.

Of course, there are two exceptions. In the past, the Hide family asked Hanabou Masayuki to build the castle at the head office, and the Ukita Kan family did not provide financial support when they built the castle in Kurashiki, and they built it with their own pockets.

There are two problems here. One is that the funds for the construction of these two cities are paid by others themselves, and it is not easy for the Xiu family to dispose of these two cities casually.

And when he transferred Feng Yuxiduoquan's family to Boqi, he was given excessive compensation for knowledge and practice, which was equivalent to buying the city from him.

As for Huafang Zhengcheng, no matter how the Xiu family moves his knowledge, his ability will never change, because once the Huafang family is fully entrusted, it is impossible to compensate without giving 6 to 8 shi .

The later Yonago Castle, the current Songjiang Castle, Tangzhu Castle, and Songqian Castle are different. These cities were repaired by the Xiu family for you.

For the retainers who have been sealed off, it is basically a prostitution of a city for nothing. When such a city is transferred in the future, the Xiu family can safely and boldly transfer the transfer without giving additional knowledge and behavior as compensation.

Jinguang Jiaqing, who was asked by the Xiu family to change his original surname back to Jin Guang because of the rebellion of the Hanchuan family, was originally placed directly in Hanchuan County by the Xiu family, but now because the Ukita Kan family transferred Sanuki Takamatsu, the Xiu family moved him from Sanuki Hanchuan County Arrived at 4500 shi in Yokosuihara Castle, Iyokume County.

Among the new retainers, Sanada Nobushige was transferred from 1000 koku of Bichu Rangayama Castle to 3200 koku of Shoji Castle in Iyo Kume County, and the 2000 koku originally allocated from the Hideiya internal treasury was officially confirmed.

Keer Caizang and Yasuda were in the same position as Banner Squadron Leaders. At the beginning, they rode their horses into the battle at the foot of Fuliang Castle to show their eyes, and they were awarded 500 shi by each of the Xiu family.

Ke'er Caizang was conferred the title of 1500 shi in Ochi Prefecture Kokubun Mountain City, and Yasuda served as a soldier to guard the 1250 shi Zhixing of Ochi Xingmen City.

Hanabang Zhixiu, which was previously split from Hanabang Masamori, was transferred to Imabari Castle, Iyo-Ochi County with 5800 koku, and 800 koku to become the flag head of Kita-Iyo-Ochi County.

Ochi, like Noma, is located in the northern corner of Iyo, next to the Mori family, and the Hide family needs to place two relatively important retainers here to help guard it.

In Noma, Ikei Kaneko and Nobushige Sanada are in charge, and in Ochi, Hanabou Shihide and others are in charge.

The reason why Huafang Zhixiu was dismantled was because the Xiu family consciously began to restrict the development of the elders. The relationship between Huafang Zhixiu and Huafang Zhengcheng has been alienated.

In addition, the Xiu family really needed a retainer who knew the right size to guard Beiyiyo, and Huafang Zhixiu was an existence that met all the conditions, so he was selected by the Xiu family.
