Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 509 Yu'ao Abandoned the City and Established the Feudal Domains (5.5K Chapter)

The Xiu family was originally talking about the ruined city, but the conversation changed to the sword hunting.

The reason is simple, because sword hunting is the foundation of the Toyotomi family's rule over the Uo area, and only after the collection of weapons and armaments can civil unrest be prevented.

Now that the importance of the knife hunting order was reiterated, Xiujia officially turned the topic back.

"The so-called "one country, one vassal, one country decree", I have noticed that many people have misunderstood this, thinking that a vassal state can only build one main city, which is actually a misunderstanding.

Just as my father said in the hall, this decree is based on the territorial state and the vassal state, and regulates and limits the number of cities in the vassal state.

I often hear people say that there are 66 state-owned cities in 3000 countries in the world, with an average of more than 50 state-owned cities per state-owned city and more than ten cities per county. Are so many cities really useful?

In the past, the daimyos were independent from the world, and perhaps needed these for defense, but now that the wise His Highness Guan Bai is in the world, the world is at peace, and those fortresses built in steep mountain valleys and fortresses in remote valleys are gone. Lost the effect.

In the past, they may have been the gateway for you to collect tariffs, but now their existence not only fails to highlight their due role, but also becomes a problem that hinders trade. It is time to abolish them all. "

Xiujia said that he paused here for a moment, took out the documents prepared in advance and said to everyone, "According to His Royal Highness Guan Bai, there is no mandatory requirement for you to keep the restriction of one country and one city, but each feudal clan is in the territory of the inner city. Quantities are indeed limited.

Since each city in each feudal clan has its own position, and I am not very familiar with your territories, I decided to hand over the task of abolishing those cities to each feudal clan to report on their own, and I will review and approve it.

And I am only in charge of supervising the number of cities allowed by the various feudal clans for His Royal Highness Guan Bai. As for which specific walled city to keep and which walled city to abolish, it is all up to each feudal clan to decide on their own.

Now let me start to announce the number of each feudal clan allowed to stay in the city:

Gamo Clan Township of Aizu Clan, 20 Aizu, 5 cities left;
Toyotomi Xiuzhen of Yandai Fan, led Yandai Kingdom with 22 shi, and left 6 cities;
Nobuo Fan Zhongchuan Qingxiu led Yandai Kingdom with 17 shi, and stayed in 5 cities;
Yancheng Fan Yancheng Lilong, led the Iwaki Kingdom with 10 stones, and left 3 cities;
Ma Yiyin, Prime Minister of the Xiangma Domain, led the 3 stones of the Pancheng Kingdom, leaving 2 cities;
The most Shangfan, the most Shangyiguang, led Yuqian Kingdom 18 shi, leaving 7 cities;
Masamune Date of the Date Domain led 45 shi in Luqian and left 10 cities;”

Xiujia said and paused here.

It was originally written here that Uesugi Jingsheng, the domain of Uesugi, led Yuqianzhuang with 8 stones and left 3 cities.

But he deliberately stopped at Xiu's house, thought for a moment and said to everyone:

"Uesugi Fan, Uesugi Jingsheng, led the 8 shi in Yuqianzhuang, leaving 1 city."

According to Hideyoshi's "Order of One Domain, One Country, One City", the Uesugi family in Echigo can only own one city in Uzene, and the rest of the cities will be abandoned sooner or later. The Hideka just strictly enforces it.

In the beginning, Hideya did negotiate with Hideyoshi to leave 3 cities for Uesugi in Shonai, as a test for Uesugi.If you look at other Yuao daimyos, the average watch height of 4 to 5 shi is allowed to stay for 1 city, and when it comes to your Uesugi’s house, 2.7 shi is allowed to stay for 1 city, and the standard has been reduced by about 1 times.

But since you, Dabao Temple Yoshikatsu, don't want to lose face and just took people away, the Xiu family is going to make goodwill with the Uesugi family, so it belongs to Uesugi's licking and driving away.

No matter how you say it, the Xiu family is the most famous in the world, shouldering the responsibility of monitoring the Kanto and Yuao, what kind of person dares to be so arrogant?

The Xiu family is going to give Dabao Temple Yisheng some eye drops. If you refuse to accept Dabao Temple Yisheng, the Xiu family has a written statement and means to bully you.

Do you want to negotiate and admit your mistake afterwards?Sorry, you are not qualified.At the very least, let your lord Uesugi Jingsheng come and talk to me in person!
What did you say!Now you are just a retainer who has no right to make decisions, so let your family be able to make decisions!
After the Xiu family reported that the Uesugi family was only allowed to keep 1 city in the village, whispers came out again in the palace.

The daimyos present here are more or less politically sensitive, and Xiujia's obvious objection can be seen by anyone who is not blind.

Ishida Mitsunari and Naoe Kanesuke had a good relationship, and after hearing the news from the Hide family that Uesugi Shonei had stayed in one city, he changed his previous obedient attitude, and persuaded him, "General Right, His Highness Uesugi wants to be respectful, although his leader in Shonai is only 1 shi, but the area is vast.

I have heard a clue from your city division just now. You have given these daimyos with vast territories enough cities to help them control their territories even if they lack knowledge and actions.

It's as if you have reserved 18 cities for the 6 kokus of the most upper Ukyo doctor, and 3 cities with only 2 kokus for Mr. Soma Yiyin. Shouldn't the Uesugi family strengthen their defenses a little in the village? "

Sister Xiu heard Ishida Mitsunari's statement, looked up at him. Ishida Mitsunari was silent for a moment, and then said, "You are right, Mr. Ishida, I didn't think carefully, then the number of remaining castles of the Mogami clan will be reduced to 5, Date Fanliu City has been reduced to 7, is this all right?"

Hearing Hideka's reply, Ishida Mitsunari hurriedly replied: "Your Highness, I didn't mean that!"

But it was too late for him after all, Hideiya had already taken the writing brush from Sanada Nobushige beside him, and made changes on this pleading.

Hearing that the number of their castles had been reduced, Mogami Yoshimitsu and Date Masamune both looked at Ishida Mitsunari angrily.

The meaning is clearly: "The Uesugi family of the fuck is causing trouble, why do you want to intervene, why should we bear it?"

They will not blame the Xiu family for this responsibility, thinking that the Xiu family gave them preferential treatment at the beginning, which is enough to reflect the attitude of the Xiu family, and it is because Ishida Mitsunari is the cheapest that they have been reduced in the number of cities.

In their view, the Hide family was "forced to be fair" completely under the persecution of Ishida Mitsunari. They had heard that Ishida Mitsunari and Uesugi's Zai Naoe Kentsuku were good friends, and they quickly figured out Ishida Mitsunari's words Cause and effect.

"This girl is the spy of the Uesugi family buried next to Guan Baidian!"

"It's a pity that we are not strong enough to wait for Zazai (Guan Bai) to fight for rebellion, otherwise Ishida Sancheng will be cut off in minutes."

Seeing the eyes of the two looking at Ishida Mitsunari, the corners of Xiujia's mouth slightly raised, which was exactly the effect he wanted.

Hideka ignored the attitude of the three and continued to read out the restrictions on the number of famous cities in the letter, "Because of Ishida Mitsunari's suggestion, I decided to re-restrict the feudal clans that have not been selected.

The following is the number of new cities in each domain.

Yoshimichi Onodera, the Onodera Fan, led Yu Houguo, and stayed in 2 cities;
Huze Sheng'an, Toze Fan, led Yu Houguo, and stayed in 2 cities;
Akita Domain Anto Miki, led Yu Houguo, and stayed in 4 cities;
Dapu, the Qingjin domain, was a believer, leading Lu Beiguo, leaving 2 cities;
Mizuno Clan Mizuno Tadashige, led Rikuzen Country Osaki, and left 2 cities;
Southern Fan Nanxin directly led Lu Zhongguo and Lu Beiguo, leaving 5 cities. "

Having said that, Xiujia made a report on the situation of the Yuao feudal clan staying in the city. He combined the letters in his hand and continued to say to everyone:

"The above is the arrangement for the restrictions on the remaining cities of each feudal clan. It is up to each feudal clan to decide which cities to keep, or which cities to abolish. After the decision is made, it will be reported and approved before implementation.

All feudal vassals should strictly abide by the law. After the demolition of the city, no new city can be built without permission. If there is a need to build a new city or repair the old city, it must be reported to me, and it can only be implemented after approval.

I will report to His Highness Bai for any daimyo who has built a city privately, and he will make a judgment and punishment. "

Hideyoshi is not joking, Hideyoshi is serious this time, he clearly told Hideyoshi to limit the number of cities in each feudal domain of Yu Ou to prevent them from rebelling again.

In fact, Hideyoshi also had such an order in history. The fuse of the Battle of Sekigahara was caused by Jingsheng Uesugi's private construction of castles and armaments in the Aizu area.

After Tokugawa Ieyasu gained power, he has been waving this banner, successively reforming and punishing Fukushima and other daimyos.

However, in this era when the Warring States period had just ended, although the daimyos were afraid of Hideyoshi, they didn't think that their hands would be so long that they could fully control them.

Just like Masamune Date, he accepted the arrangement of the Hide family and expressed his approval of the arrangement of retaining the 7 cities, but he said in private, "After the city is abandoned this time, after the angels take over and retreat, why should your Toyotomi family To monitor my activities in the territory?"

Hideka didn't know what Date Masamune thought, he was still using his own political strategy, he only heard him say, "I know that you are very dissatisfied with the number of restricted cities today, but please be patient.

After the inspection of the Yuao area is completed, if there is a need to build a new city, you can report to me again. In principle, His Highness Guan Bai allows a city to be reserved for every 5 shi. The Yuao area is located in a remote area with few people. It can be relaxed appropriately.

In other words, everyone should check the land carefully. If you confirm that your knowledge and actions have reached 20 shi after the land inspection, but the number of cities allowed is less than 4 cities, and those who confirm your knowledge and actions exceed 30 shi and keep less than 6 cities, you can ask me. Apply for a new city.

His Royal Highness Guan Bai's "One Domain, One Country, One City Order" is still in the experimental stage. As long as it is really important, I will report it on my behalf. You should believe in his wisdom. As long as the declaration is reasonable, it will be approved. "

"The next step is the restricted-level laws and regulations for the construction of cities in various feudal states." Hideka handed the letter with the number of remaining cities to Sanada Nobushige, took another letter from him, and said after unfolding it.

"His Royal Highness Guan Bai believes that the city is a symbol of the status of the daimyo, and warriors without the status of the daimyo are not allowed to own the castle.

As for the identification of daimyo's identity, Xu Jing can only confirm it after His Royal Highness Guan Bai's approval, which is related to the number of knowledge and practice, but not completely related.

The decree in this regard is still being confirmed by His Highness Guan Bai. This time, His Highness Yu Guan Bai has discussed and unanimously decided to use Wanshi as the baseline, and those who are lower than Wanshi cannot own the city.

Zhixing is higher than 1 shi and less than 3 shi, and the number of city walls and curved wheels cannot exceed 2 circles.It is allowed to build a small number of oar towers in each city wall and curved wheel, and it is allowed to build courtyards and palaces, but it is not allowed to build castle towers.Stone walls are only allowed to be used in the Honmaru, but the upper screen wall must be made of wooden screens, and the Ninomaru is made of earthen walls and wooden screens, so there is no need to excavate Horikiri.

Only the Honmaru is allowed to use stone screens for the castle structure, and only wooden screens can be used for Ninomaru and Sannomaru. It is allowed to excavate a 2-story dobori for defense.

For daimyo whose knowledge is higher than 30 shi, the number of city walls and curved wheels should not exceed 3 circles in principle, and special approval can be granted in special cases.

It is allowed to build scull towers in various city walls and curved wheels, and the number must be reported for approval.It is allowed to build courtyards and palaces, and it is allowed to build no more than 5 layers and 7 steps of towers (that is, no more than Osaka towers), and it is allowed to build small towers in other areas of the city.

It is allowed to use the stone wall structure in each circle, and the stone screen structure is allowed to be used for the castle structure, and it is allowed to excavate the water wall according to the need.

above"

After the Xiu family finished reading, he put together the statement again and said to everyone, "It doesn't matter if you don't remember this statement, I have transcribed several copies and handed it over to you.

You can also ask me about the size and situation of the city approved to build according to the situation of Zhixing after confirming Zhixing.

Each city building must be limited to the above requirements, and any buildings that exceed the distance must be demolished. If it is not demolished within the time limit, I will also report to the customs and contact Bai, and the ruling will punish it.

For the other feudal cities that are allowed to be reserved in the domains of the major names, arrangements are made in two ways: one is to restrict the construction of the main city according to the above regulations according to the number of knowledge and practice of the retainers of the former feudal clan; The third stage builds other feudal cities.

In fact, there is another requirement, but those of you who are doing it may also need to face this condition because your neighboring country spans the two countries.

According to the decree, in the feudal city of the neighboring country where the city is located, it is allowed to select a city to be upgraded to a first-class construction as the main city of the feudal clan outside the territory.

I don’t know how much you know and do in Nanfangdian. Let me make a metaphor here. If you are a daimyo of 15 shi, you can build the city according to the standard of 15 shi.

You are allowed to have 5 cities, and your skills are in Lu Zhongguo, so your cities in Luzhong, except for your own city, are required to be limited to a size of 3 shi daimyo.

But because you have Lubei's territory, you are allowed to choose a castle in Lubei to build a city of 5 shi daimyo. "

After hearing Hideka's explanation, Nambu Nobunao nodded to express his understanding, but Souma Yoshinori, Mizuno Tadashige and Tozawa Shengan all had problems again.

I just heard Xiang Ma Yiyin ask, "His Royal Highness, my Xiang Ma family knows less than 5 shi, and was allowed to keep 2 cities. According to your request, the city was not required to be downgraded by 3 tiers. If a famous name like us is down 3 tiers, there will be no The city can be built!"

"Yes~ yes!" His question was recognized by Mizuno Tadashige and Tozawa Shengan, and other wealthy families such as Hondo Omimitsu and Yuri Ling also said, "I wait for knowledge and behavior to be less than 1 shi. Are you not allowed to build a city in the territory?"

"Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient." The Xiu family reached out to suppress the noise of everyone, and explained, "First of all, let me explain Mr. Xiangma's doubts. His Highness Guan Bai also thought of a small fan like you.

The first thing to declare is that for a small fan like you, the final result must be that only one city is allowed to be kept.Now it is only in the transitional stage, and Guanbaidian licenses other feudal cities to refer to the first level, that is, more than 1 shi and less than 1 shi.

The second is the question of the master of the hall and others. His Royal Highness Guan Bai allows the powerful people with less than 1 shi and more than 5000 shi to build fanzhen villages in their own territories.

It is allowed to have wooden walls and a small number of turrets. It is allowed to build courtyards and palaces, but it is not allowed to build castles.No stone buildings or stone walls are allowed, and no excavation of Horikiri is allowed. "

He paused here, and said to everyone, "All the retainers in the daimyo who are not allowed to keep the city, all move to the daimyo or to other nearby feudal cities that are allowed to keep.

For the retainers who are unwilling to relocate and have been abandoned, no matter how much they know and do, they will all refer to this article to build a feudal formation on the spot, and the big names will supervise it by themselves. "

After finishing speaking, he said to Hondo Yoshimichi, Renhe Baojucheng, and Akaozu Changbao, "The three of you have been specially taken care of by His Highness Guan Bai, and you are allowed to keep 1 city in your collar. Refer to the lowest level, that is, daimyo below 3 shi Specifications build the city.

All other tyrants in Yuli County will build a feudal formation on the spot according to what I just said, and the specifications must not exceed the daimyo level. "

Regarding the Xiu family's answer, Ren from the Yulihao family was dissatisfied and said, "Youli County has a vast territory, and there are only two small cities. How can we deal with emergencies? I beg your Highness to be sympathetic to us, and grant permission to build the city."

It is impossible to show mercy, once such an opening is made, Mogami, Oura, Soma and others will all come to beg me, and if I refuse their request at that time, won't I offend them?

Therefore, in the face of the entreaties of the Yulihao clan, the Xiu family resolutely refused, "Your knowledge and deeds are not worth ten thousand stones, and getting two cities is already a kindness, how can you be delusional?
However, what you have asked is correct. Yuli County is indeed sparsely populated and needs a main city to deal with unexpected events. "

After finishing speaking, Hideka looked at Akao Tsu Changbao and Dakoshi Mitsutaka and said, "Since this is the case, part of the territory south of Zijichuan and north of Zijiling will be included in the Tibetan land, and I will send people here to build the city according to the 10 shi name of the city. , if you encounter any troubles, you can avoid disaster here."

This territory is the Honjo Castle of the later generations. It is a rare fertile land in Yuli territory, and it is very suitable for business and trade considering the convenience of the river estuary.

Generally speaking, the south of Zijichuan belonged to the Ziji clan, the north of Zijichuan, the east of Yuchuan belonged to Akaojin, and the west of Yuchuan belonged to Dayue.

However, the various families in the Yuli Territory continued to fight, and the fertile land impacted by the river was naturally scrambled by various families. Now the Ziji family's power is not as good as before, and this territory is divided between the Da Yue and the Akao Tsu family.

Now that the Xiu family wants to transfer this piece of land from them to Tibet, the two of them dare not speak out because they are filial to Hideyoshi in name.

The two people now want to slap themselves, why are they so stubborn to demand a high-standard city from the Xiu family just now.

Now that he is better off, part of his territory has been reduced.

Fortunately, Xiu's family only wanted the territory south of Zijichuan, which was originally snatched from Ziji's family.
