Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 519 The much-anticipated distribution (continued) (5.2K)

In fact, Hitachi in the Hide family's hands is relatively easy to take care of. I don't want to think about the three counties of Ibaraki, Xingfang, and Kashima in the hands of the Satake family, which is a headache.

The relatively large families in New Hitachi are only the Tagaya, Oda, Soma, and Toki families. There is also a Hitachi family around Fuchu Castle in the eastern part of Shinji County, and the others are all the territories of the Hojo clan.

In the Battle of Odawara, the Soma and Toki families participated in the Odawara Cage Castle, and were changed by Hideyoshi. The Hideyoshi family took them in and gave them about 1000 shi.

The Otaki family and the Satake family have always had conflicts. Facing the Satake family's request to borrow a way, they even ignored the suggestion to go to Odawara together, and even blocked the Satake family's southward path on the road.

In the end, Satake Yoshinobu attacked all the way, sweeping the core territory of the Otaka family on the north side of Ibaraki and the Shinji County area, and the Otaka family clan was wiped out.

Oda Ujiji has been jumping back and forth between Hojo and Satake. During the battle, Odawara had a slight illusion about whether the Hojo clan would perish. He neither resisted nor obeyed.

It wasn't until news of the fall of Odawara Castle reached Hitachi that he hurried to Odawara, where Hideyoshi wiped out half of his territory as a warning.

In other words, except for the 3 koku of the Tagaya family and the 1.3 koku of the Oda family in the territory of New Hitachi, all the powerful daimyos in the other territories have been dealt with by Hideyoshi or Satake Yoshinobu. Graceful encapsulation.

But in the nearby Xingfang County, Ibaraki County and Kashima County, things did not go so smoothly.

This was originally the sphere of influence of the Otsuki clan and its fellow clan, but now it is included in the sphere of influence of the Satake family. Even though the main family of the Ozawa family has been dealt with, there are still so many sub-family entrenched in the county below, controlling all Zhixing.

It seems unrealistic for the Satake family to take over this territory calmly.It seems that the incident of Hongmen Banquet hacking South Hall 33 in history happened as scheduled.

"Jiuwa Jiuhu, who was not present today, transferred 2.3 shi to Sakura Castle, Inba County, and allowed to build 3 feudal formations in the territory."

"Today, Oka Lisheng, who attended the meeting, was granted the title of 1.2 shi in Yansheng County of Shangzong Kingdom, 3.9 shi in Changbing County, and a total of 5.1 shi in Zhixing. The city is Mobara City, and 5 feudal clans are allowed to be built in the territory."

"Futian Zongsheng received 1.2 stones from Shiyuan County, bestowed the Miao character Yuxiduo, and was granted Shiyuan City."

The total knowledge and practice of the Hide family in Shanghai is 16 shi. Because of the proximity to Edo Bay in the northern part of Ichihara County, the Hide family plans to take it under their own direct management. The county has a total of about 3.86 shi, except for 1.2 shi. Except for Yuxiduo Zongsheng, the remaining 2.66 stone territory will be used to house meritorious soldiers.

As for the Yamabe and Wushe counties facing the Pacific Ocean to the east, the Xiu family also intends to use it to house a son, so they will not be sealed off for the time being.

"Tuju Qingliang transferred 2.5 shi to the Zongguo Zhayu and the two counties on the sea, and was granted the title of Xucheng Town to guard the southern foot, and allowed to build 3 feudal formations in the territory to control the territory."

The situation of Doi Qingliang is roughly the same as that of Kagawa. The difference is that he himself expects to be transferred with the Xiu family, and he believes that he will have a better development under the Xiu family.

But the rich family who followed him from Yuhe County in Iyo country didn't think so.

In the words of Noki Imajo, it is "I believed your words at the beginning, abandoned the old leader and followed the right general. First, I was settled in Iyo, only to be transferred to Izumo. Now Izumo has only settled down for less than 2 years. , let us go to Kanto again? How can there be such a lord in the world?"

It is obvious that the Xiu family has complaints about their transfer of seals many times in recent years.

Although Doi Qingliang tried to explain that the transfer of Izumo was due to the fact that Fuxue County was taken back by Hideyoshi, and the transfer of Kanto now is because the Hide family was asked to transfer from the West Country, it was not Hide's original intention.

However, in the eyes of these traditional warriors, the fact that the Yuxi family transferred their titles to them many times in such a short period of time means that they do not pay attention to their performance.

Seeing that they are outsiders who are easy to bully, it is easy to handle them.

In the end, only the Doi family, the Osaki family, and the Ji family were willing to follow him. Even so, Doi Qingliang was awarded 2.5 stones by the Hide family.

Prior to this, Doi Kiyoyoshi's Zhixing was the entire leader of Izumo Ohara County, and the eastern part of Yiyu County totaled 2.8 shi, and the main city was Sase Castle.

However, there are 3100 koku from the Imajo family and 6000 koku from the Watanabe family. If you add 2500 koku from the Doi family, 1380 koku from the Osaki family, and 2540 koku from the Ki family, half of the Doi family’s Zhixing numbers are actually brought from Iyo. Come out from the same country.

Now, although the total table height under the transfer seal is only 2.5 shi, it seems that there are still 3000 shikyu missing, but after deducting Imajo and Watanabe, Doi Kiyoyo's Zhixing actually has 6000 shi more.

Moreover, after abandoning the Jincheng and Watanabe families, there is no more than 3000 stones in the family Zhixing under the command of the Tuju family, and the ratio of retainers Zhixing is relatively more reasonable. He has the opportunity to turn the above three retainers into ministers.

Therefore, generally speaking, Doi Kiyoshi is quite satisfied with the current arrangement of the Hide family.

"Endo Hidekiyo was entrusted with 3600 koku of Sarushima County as Yumita Castle, and Endo Toshitsutsu was entrusted with 4200 koku of Chiba County, and was allowed to set up a vassal formation in the territory."

Is it difficult to understand why 3600 stones can still become Chengdai?
Don't look at the Miao character of Endo, which is very unfamiliar. These two Endo are distant relatives of the Xiu family after the Ukita family, but the Miao character was changed later. At the moment when Yuxi's relatives withered, they were also classified as one. The existence of the ranks.

That's why Endo Hidekiyo has the qualification to become Ichijojoro with the identity of the 3600 koku Osakamoto.

"Noda Hirotomo was entrusted with 7500 shi of Katsushika County as the Furukawa Castle."

The location of Furukawa Castle is too special, it is a key location connecting Saitama, Ueno, and Shimono, so it must be guarded by a person that Hideka can trust.

However, because of the political charm behind the Furukawa Castle, the Hide family could not directly award him to their own retainers, so the one who finally got the Furukawa was the only family member of the Furukawa Ashikaga clan, Noda Asohiro.

Noda Hirotomo is the elder of the Furukawa Ashikaga family who brought Ashikaga Ji to the Hide family before. His original knowledge and practice was only 1370 shi. Because of the merits of Ashikaga Ji and because he was the only suitable candidate, he was awarded 6000 shi by the Hide family. And appointed as the Furukawa city representative.

"Today's non-attendant Qiu Shangjiu's family received 1.75 koku, a bit of 3500 koku, as the lord of Matsuzaki City."

"Ota Zizheng was awarded 3200 koku in Sarushima County, 6000 koku in Katsushika County, and 1 koku in Saitama County in Saitama Country.

At this point, the Xiu family's rewards for Chang Lu, Shang Zong, and Xia Zong have officially ended. Chang Lu pinched 5 shi, which he will award to his son Zhixing in the future.

In Shangzong, 8.75 shi were pinched, of which 5 shi was intended to be given to a son, and the remaining 3.75 shi was directly under his own jurisdiction, and would be granted to meritorious soldiers.

The lower general also received 6.1 shi in Katori County, and the 5 shi Xiu's family here also planned to grant it to a son.

In addition, Shimoso, Soma, Katsushika, Sarushima, and some scattered land in Chiba add up to about 4 koku, all of which will be hidden by the Hide family.

I feel a little guilty about Ota Zimasa's family. They promised to let him return to Musashi, and even planned to give him Edo Castle at first. After all, Edo now belongs to the junction of Toshima County and Ebara. It is a saline-alkali tidal flat. Not much economic value.

What?You said that business and trade can be developed here?Is it true that Sagami Kamakura goes all the way to Yokohama, Shimoso Chiba, and Kamiso City?Why do you want to hold on to Edo?Is it just because this is the main city of the Tokugawa shogunate, and now the capital of Japan?
I admit that Edo Castle does have a good geographical location, but at the moment when the Sumida River and Arakawa have not been diverted and repaired, this area is a saline-alkali land with no economic value.

Even if there is a water network flowing through it, most of the area is still dry land. After all, the saline-alkali land cannot be improved by watering.

The reason why Edo Castle was selected as the main city by Ieyasu Tokugawa is that it is the center of Edo Bay and suitable for the development of commerce.

At the same time, because of the large amount of saline-alkali land, the construction of the city here will not encroach on the area of ​​fertile land.Since it will not affect the fertile land, it will not damage the mobilization strength of the Tokugawa family, and even the Tokugawa family can rely on business to increase their strength, so why not choose to build a city here?

However, there has always been a disadvantage in Edo Castle. Because of the lack of upstream water flow and the backflow of sea water, the drinking water here has always been a problem.

The purpose of the city is to usher in defense. If the problem of water diversion is not solved, this is not a qualified city.

Tokugawa Ieyasu, who built the city here, quickly discovered this problem. In order to solve the problem of water diversion, the upstream waterway had to be rebuilt. However, it was not until the Tokugawa Iesaka period that Arakawa was diverted, and a large area was flooded, forming the present-day Arakawa encroaching on the course of the Sumida River.

Such a large project was completed by gathering the power of all the famous names in the world. At the same time, Ieyasu Tokugawa started the reclamation project, using stones to expand the land boundary, and then covering the land on it, so as to continuously expand the seawater backflow outward. s position.

It was also after the Arakawa diversion and decades of land reclamation that the drinking water problem in Edo Castle was basically solved, but the water quality is still not flattering.

The nobles and generals naturally had a solution to this problem. They reserved a nature reserve near Hachioji, and used cars to bring water from Tamagawa into Edo for them to drink every day.

It's not that the Xiu family doesn't want to directly build a city in Edo, but with the current strength of the Xiu family, there is really no need to invest too much experience here, and the cost of modifying the independent environment near Edo is too high.

If it is really to be done, it should be done after the unification of the world by gathering the power of the world.

Moreover, Edo Castle itself was built by Ota Dokan, so it would not be a bad choice to hand him over to the heirs of the Ota family.

But then Hideyoshi appeared, and after much deliberation, Hideka decided to hand over this place to Hachiro to inherit it. After all, although this place is not suitable as the main city for the time being, it still has potential for development in the future.

The river course change project can't be done by Xiujia, and it is still possible to fill the sea and make land in advance.

If it is possible to extend part of the land outwards so that Edo Castle is no longer affected by the intrusion of sea water so obviously, it is indeed a good choice to use this place as an economic center in the future.

It is worth mentioning that due to the division of Saitama and Musashi, Hideo asked Hideyoshi to re-divide the two territories.

Basically, the border line of Iruma County extends eastward, and the three long north-south counties of Adachi, Saitama, and Katsushika are divided into 6 points. Hideka rearranged the territory, and the north is divided into Koshigaya County and Saitama County, the south is Adachi County and Matsudo County.

The reason for not continuing to use the name of Katsushika County is that Shimoso also has a county with the same name, and the two counties are next to each other for fear of causing ambiguity.

武藏南部的荏原(1.91)、丰岛(1.44)、新足利郡一部4万石，以及下总葛饰郡南部1.45万石，松户郡1.2万石将会封给八郎，知行合计10万石。

As the rewards entered Musashi and Qitama, Hideka's rewards also officially entered the climax.

"Osakane Misaku defended her family, and served as the commander of the legion in this battle to conquer the Stable Bridge, break through Jinshan and Guanlin, and wipe out the two countries of Xiaye and Xiazong. She has made great contributions.

He received 4 koku from Tama County in Musashi and 5000 koku from Takaza County, Sagami Country, and 1.2 koku from Hachioji Castle. "

"Ikato Heiji was entrusted with 1 shi in Musashi Kuragi County, and was allowed to build a feudal formation in the territory."

"Harada Sadasa Iwaya Castle transferred the 1.32 koku of Kita Iwakura Castle in Kume County to the 1.5 koku of Musashi Tachibana County, and led the lord of Xiaoji City."

"The Baba staff was conferred 2000 shi in Musashi Tachibana County, Takeuchi Hisaji transferred 5000 shi to Musashi Niiza County, 8000 shi to Musashi Tama County, and allowed to build a feudal formation in the territory."

"Xinmen Zongguan was awarded 1.35 shi in Koryo County of Saitama State, and 1500 shi was granted, and a feudal formation was allowed to be built."

"Jiang Yuan was conferred 1.35 shi in Chichibu County of Saitama State for the second time, and 1500 shi was granted an additional 2 shi, and two feudal formations were allowed to be built in the territory."

"Zhuang Lin Yixin was entrusted with the capital of Musashi Kingdom to build a county of 1.1 shi, and he was allowed to build a vassal formation in the territory."

"Hanaboshi was awarded 7000 koku of Sagami Koza-gun, and 1200 koku for Ebino Castle."

"Jin Guang Jiaqing received 5600 stones from Miura County, Sagami Country, and an additional 1100 stones."

“香西佳清受封琦玉国男衾郡（0.46）、榛沢郡（1.82）、那賀郡（0.37）及秩父郡3000石，总领3万石。同时任命为钵形城城主，守备琦玉西北，准许在领内修筑2座藩阵。”

"Keer Saizo received 1200 stones from Musashi, Yasuda Zuobei received 1100 stones from Saitama,"

"Ukita Zongzheng received 4600 koku from Saitama, and Yoshioka Takakatsu received 1.7 koku from Saitama Kodama County, plus 2000 koku, and allowed the construction of two feudal formations."

"The head of the Narita family received 3000 stones from Ninjo, Saitama County, Saitama, 1.38 stones from Osato County, and 1.68w stones from the Chief Zhixing, as the Ninjo Castle Generation."

"Ukita Hidei, who was not present this time, was awarded 1 stones in Qitama Banara County, and was allowed to build a feudal formation."

In fact, Narita's award was difficult to deal with. After all, Narita Tadacho did cooperate with Daodaoji Zheng Shigetsu to defend the cage city, and a battle broke out with the Xiu family.

But after all, Jia Fei Ji is going to marry in, isn't she!
Narita Tadacho is rebellious in terms of caliber, and Narita's head is the Narita family governor. In the end, Narita Shi Zhixing was reduced by half as punishment, and the position of Narita Zhixing was also adjusted. Moved to Dali County in the west, of course Ninja City is reserved.

From the Xiu family's arrangements for Qitama and Musashi, compared with other neighboring countries, it can be found that the closer the border is, the fewer the number of feudal formations approved by the Xiu family.

"The Ashikaga family, the Furukawa Ashikaga family is 2 koku in Kamakura County, Sagami Country, and 1.6 koku in Takaza County. The main castle is Tamaro Castle. For the time being, Jinguang Jiaqing will serve as the castle."

"Yamagami Hisataka (formerly Daedaoji Temple Masafuge's elder) received 2200 stones from Saitama, Nagai Naokatsu, Takahashi Ushitaka, Ushigome (yu) Katsushige, Kawamura Naoshige, Honda Masaka, Edo Chaotada, Nanba Tian Kenji, etc. The old ministers of Hojo received 500~1200 Shizhixing from Saitama, Sagami, and Musashi respectively, and Yanfucheng Shenqin."

In fact, Hideo found an interesting person when sorting out the samurai in the collar this time. He called Nishina Shinki. He was the eldest son of Nishina Shengxin, the son of Takeda Shingen. He went to Hojo's house to seek asylum.

The Hojo clan was afraid that Oda's anger would be caused by taking in the descendants of Takeda, so he placed him in the Qingshin Temple of Hachioji, and it was also because he did not participate in the battles of Odawara Castle and Hachioji Castle.

It was found when the Maeda Toshi family surrounded Hachioji, and it is now under the Hide family's name.

The Hide family was indeed greedy for this man, but thinking that his good brother Takeda Hidenobu did not have many relatives in Kai, they still sent him to Kai.

First of all, it is not easy to give him a place on my side. After all, why should he give thousands of stones of knowledge and practice without relatives and no reason?Just because of his identity as the grandson of Takeda Shingen?

But it will be easier to send it to Takeda Hidenobu. If there is a group of people, it must start with 3000 shi.

"So far, this Kanto reward has come to an end"

As the Xiu family's voice fell, everyone gave a satisfactory answer, and Zhixing got a lot of seals, with an average ratio of about 10%.

After closing the evaluation account, the Xiu family still did not announce the end of the meeting, but said to them, "After this evaluation, you will go to Xinling soon. I hope you will continue to work hard to safeguard the glory of our family together."

"Your Majesty's order is to be obeyed."

"There is one more thing. The warriors awarded this time, those whose knowledge and practice are less than 1 shi, have no specific fiefdoms except for those who have specifically said that they can build fan arrays. The family will give you Lumi handed down from generation to generation. This is food Yap.

Food city is similar to knowledge and action, I will give you a fixed share of the output corresponding to knowledge and action, and you don't need to pay actual management of the territory.

Your territory will be governed by the main family who will directly intervene in the local servants of the villages, and will serve you in the administration and military establishment.Correspondingly, the above-mentioned samurai do not need to provide ashigaru military service for their own family, as long as the samurai relatives in their own family go out to battle.

At the same time, as compensation for the lack of a feudal formation, the main family will allocate free samurai houses in Iwafu Castle during the construction of Iwafu Castle to help you settle in Iwafu Castle. "

Most of what Hideka refers to is the former Hojo former officials, as well as Banners who received less than 5000 shi in their own system.

For the rich families in the Kanto region, the Hide family all follow the standard of 3000 shi, and those who exceed 3000 shi are allowed to set up fan formations, while the retainers of the Yuki family are more than 5000 shi. deal with.

After the award ended, the Hide family owned nearly 40 koku of the Musashi-Saitama two countries. In addition to Zhixing from the other six countries that have not yet been awarded, the Hide family’s territory reached 6 koku, occupying 73.5 koku of the Kanto territory. 42%, including the 3.6 from his wife Ashikaga Jihime and the 5 from Shozaburo last time, Hideka actually directly governs Kanto 82.1 Shiling, accounting for 48%.

Including the 5 shi collars of the two counties of Iyo and Asahi Chiyo, the Hide family actually possesses 91.1 shi, accounting for 181% of the current 50 million shi of the Hide family. Even without the support of other families, the Hide family relied on the above hidden land , has been able to fully grasp the territory.
