Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 86
Aside from the fact that Xiaobaicai was angered by the speech of the straight man from the Xiu family, the Xiu family rested early to prepare for the next day's award ceremony.

This time, the Ukita Army has mobilized for 3 months since the conquest of Maori in March, far exceeding the time required on the military service certificate.

But meritorious deeds require rewards. The Xiu family has delayed this award for a long time, and their retainers can't wait any longer.

At dawn the next day, the excited retainers and powerful families waited at the tiger's mouth of Erzhimaru and Honmaru to be summoned by the Xiu family.With the opening of the tiger's mouth, hundreds of retainers swarmed in. According to the status of the family and the height of the stone, they sat in their seats under the instructions of the attendant team. Some small lords with only a few hundred stones could only sit outside the hall on the mat.

When all the retainers were seated, they informed the Xiu family who was waiting in the side hall with their surnames. At the moment, Xiu family was wearing a dark blue court dress, walking from the side hall to the evaluation room with a serious expression.Following the announcement from the servants in the hall, "Your Highness has arrived," the evaluation room, which was just like a vegetable market just now, settled down instantly.

After 2 years of fighting, the Xiu family's military exploits firmly blocked the mouths of the retainers, and planted a sapling called prestige in the hearts of the retainers, so that they no longer dared to despise the 10-year-old as they did when the Xiu family first took the throne. My child, there is no longer any need for the loyal family to come forward to suppress the powerful family.

Due to the retirement of Ukita Tadashi's family, the host of the meeting was presided over by Hanabou Masayuki.After Zhong's family retired, Hanafang Zhengxing played the role of Yuxi's Dinghai Shenzhen. For a year and a half, Xiu's family attacked everywhere, and Hanafang Zhengxing stayed in Okayama to handle internal affairs.

The Xiu family's first award was to a family of Ukita's interpreters. As the only pro-vassal of Yukido, they would naturally receive preferential treatment.

Hideka transferred the Ukita Kan family from 4.8 koku in Bizen Toyama and Kanagawa to 6.5 koku in Chausuyama Castle in the southern part of Bichu Kuboya County, Uto County, and Kayang County. The impact plain formed is a rare fertile field in Beichu.

And together with Xingshan City, it controls Sanyo Avenue from the north and south sides.It can even be said that the lifeblood of the business routes of the Western Kingdom is in the hands of Ukita's family, and non-family daimyos cannot sit in charge.

If the interpreters can make reasonable use of resources, the annual business tax can be no less than 1 guan, converted into stone height, the income is 4 shi, and the total stone height is 10 to 11 shi.

"Hayi, thank you, Your Highness, for your reward." The interpreter received the letter of appreciation and letter of knowledge and action from Hanafang Masayuki, and sincerely saluted Xiujia.

The Quan family thought that the Xiu family would give him more titles, but they didn't expect to give him so much.And given such a good place, not only the terrain is flat, but also a golden business road in hand.

Xiujia saw that Quanjia was a little excited, and decided to cool him down, reminding him of his responsibilities. "You can take some of Toyama Bei's samurai away, and keep most of them for the direct team. But your responsibility cannot be reduced."

"Brother Quan, you have to know that you are the last barrier of my Yuxi family. Chausu Mountain City must not be lost. When you arrive in Xinling, find a way to build Chausu Mountain City. Since this place is called Cangfu, the new city should be renamed Cangshik Castle." .”

"Hayi, I will definitely repair Kurashiki into a strong city in Beizhong."

"It's not enough, brother, I allow you to bring some of Toyama Bei's equipment over there. You must spend a year training an elite like Toyama Bei before the end of next year."

"Yes, please rest assured to tell me, I will not embarrass you and my father."

Why does Xiujia insist that Quanjia train an elite by the end of next year?Naturally, it was to prepare for the Battle of Komaki Nagakute in 1584.

The Xiu family planned that by then, with the territory of 75 shi in their hands, they could mobilize an army of 2.4, of which 1 would be the elite "Xinfu soldiers" who had undergone the reform of the Xiu family's military system.

And the Ukita Tan family, who holds the main traffic roads and is an extremely wealthy place, must at least be responsible for the establishment of two 2-man backup teams. This is the death order that the Xiu family gave the Tan family.

After Yu Xita's family awarded the award, the Xiu family unexpectedly rewarded Hanafang Zhengyu who had not played.

"Cai Nu, I'm going to reward you next." Said the Xiu family.

Huafang Zhengxing was a little strange, he hadn't made any military achievements in a year, why the Xiu family would reward him, he only heard what the Xiu family said.

"You may not be good at attacking cities and villages, but you must have done a lot of work to manage the family in an orderly manner. Since March, the family has mobilized more than 3 people, and the highest mobilization was 3 people. Tanaka All males over the age of 2.2 are in the army."

"If you didn't have Cai Nu to guarantee the logistics, there wouldn't be my Yuxi family's current territory of 75 shi, and my Xiu family wouldn't have won so many victories. Therefore, the second half of the past six months must be you, and I believe it will be No one is unconvinced."

Immediately, the Xiu family glanced at the retainers who were sitting there, and following the eyes of the Xiu family, the retainers said politely, "His Highness Huafang has made great contributions, and I will obey His Highness's orders."

Seeing that the retainers had no objection, the Xiu family said, "Hanfang Zhengxing, from Erdao Xiajinjing City 2.5 shi, transferred to Beizhong Headquarters 3.8 shi, Cai Nu, agreed to build a city in Sanlun Mountain, the main family, and the family will give 2000 shi Guan, 5000 shi. Please see the west gate for me!"

At this time, Huafang Zhengxing's eyes were already wet. He really didn't expect that the Xiu family would think of him as an old bone, and said with a sob, "Thank you, Your Highness. I will repay you with death."

Originally, the important city in the Sosha Basin was Oniyama Castle, but this city was built on a mountain hundreds of meters away, and it could not effectively control the Sanyo Ancient Road.

Now the Xiu family has transferred the flower house Zhengxing from Erdao to the head office, and let him build a city on the edge of the Gaoliang River, not far from the south side of the Shanyang Ancient Road, at Sanlun Mountain. the main points.

Although Sanlun Mountain is only a few tens of meters of hill, it is not as dangerous as Ghost Mountain City, but Pingshan City can be built on a small slope like the Okayama built by the Xiu family.

At the same time, he leans on the Gaoliang River on the left, and one kilometer north of the foot of the mountain is the Shanyang Ancient Road.Xiujia believes that with the ability of Huafang Zhengxing, it will not be difficult to move the Shanyang Ancient Road southward for 1 km to pass under the Zongsha City after the completion of Zongsha City.

After awarding these two people, it is the turn of Masatoshi Suga, Masatoshi Suga has been with the Hide family for a year and has been diligent and diligent. His greatest contribution is to win the head of the rebel Mitsuhide in Yamazaki. Hideyoshi also said that he would give him 1 For the reward of stone seals, now it seems that the 1 stones are included in the Xiu family's 1 stones.

Masori Suga was born in a wealthy family in Harima. He lost his territory in the Zhengyuan generation and had to become a ronin to make a living. There is also a Suga family in Dabie Dangcheng under the Hide family.

Since Masatoshi Suga was already a widow, the Hide family decided to let her take Mizusa as the daughter of the Suga family, and the two families merged and transferred 1.3 koku to Shimoida City, Biqian Erdao, the former territory of Hanafang Masako, and served as the head of the Erdao County flag.

Zhuang Zhiqing's family, who was originally placed in Boqi by the Xiu family, was transferred to the 1.6 shi territory of Yuangua City and Guipu City by the Xiu family after the Xiu family handed over Boqi. Transfer seal appeasement.

Since March, he has been playing with Hideya, and after Togawa Hideyasu, Oka Toshikatsu, and Osafune Sadachi were assigned to defend key points, Akashi Keiko, who followed Hideya to raid Yamazaki, was taken by Hideya from Bizen The 3 koku of the stone castle was transferred to Beichuzheshiki Yamashiro, Kasaokayama Castle, and Ogasamaru Castle of 2 koku, and 2.5 koku of Wanagi Castle in Bingo was granted, totaling 1000 koku.

At the same time, he handed over 4000 stones from the Kobe Yamashiro Oda family who surrendered in Beizhong to him as a force, responsible for guarding the central and back gates.

Togawa Hidean, whose accumulated achievements were transferred from Bizen Takakura Torakura to Bichu Matsuyama Castle by the Hide family as the base, plus the Bichu Crane Head and Bizen Torakura 2 shi.Oka Toshikatsu received 3800 koku from Bitchu Saida Castle.

Maeda Keiji obtained the 4500 koku of the original Ashishou Castle from Hideka’s elder brother Kijia, Shonai Yishin obtained 3500 koku of Kasaoka Mountain Castle, and Ikaruga Heiji was sealed in the northernmost city of Bichu with 3000 koku of Majo Castle.

As the generation of Boqi's conquest, the Xiu family transferred the 2.1 koku of Nasafune Chakin from the Nasafune Stone City to the former leader after Akashi Jingqin left, and obtained 2.4 koku from the 3000 koku based on Sanshi City The encapsulation.

The Akikami Hisaya, who only participated in the Battle of Yamazaki, did not receive special dazzling feats. They only received an increase of 400 stones, and the total stone height reached 4000 stones.

So far, Hideka’s Bichu led the table with a price of 20 shi, except for the 1.6 shi of Takamatsu Castle, which is adjacent to Bizen Toyama, all of which have been sealed off.It became a vassal state lined with real wealthy families, and Bizen, the headquarters of the Hide family, gained a territory of 8 koku.

If the 2300 shi transferred by Misaku Suga is added, Hideo’s actual income after 6 months of hard work and hard work to win 20 from Bichu is 9.8 shi.

These territories are directly owned by the Xiu family, but they are not completely owned by the Xiu family. The Xiu family will also take out 4 stones to reward the meritorious soldiers of the various bannermen and the various backup teams directly under the central government. The Xiu family assigns deputy officials to manage, and the annual income will be handed over to them.

Based on this calculation, the Xiu family actually got only 5.8 shi of territory; after hard work, the Xiu family seems to have become someone else's wage earner.

In any case, the distribution of the Xiu family's 62 koku territory ended here, and the remaining 13 koku was the Sanuki country that the Xiu family had no idea about yet.

Since this territory of more than 8 koku was directly subordinate to the powerful daimyo of the Oda family, which was once at the same level as the Hide family, the Hide family had no reason to reduce their fiefdoms while bearing the pressure of the Changzong's invasion.

If they are forced to turn against each other, it will be the fault and problem of the Hide family in terms of morality and the evaluation of the Oda family.

Therefore, for Sanuki, Hideya is not going to enter the venue to accept Sanuki immediately.

Instead, the plan is to support the Hanchuan and Kosai families, stick to the East Sanuki with Takamatsu as the base, and wait for the Chosoga tribe to overturn the wealthy clan in the West Sanuki, and the Hide family will enter the field again to wipe out the people who have taken refuge in Changsoga The "hostile" forces at home and arrange their own cronies.

In short, let Changzong and my department do all the bad things that the Xiu family is not easy to do, and the scapegoat that the Xiu family is not easy to bear, and the Changzong department asks you to stand at attention and memorize it!
