Pillars of the Wu family

During the half month of the evaluation meeting, Yoshitoki Kira repeatedly called his retainers to hold military meetings and asked them to quickly formulate a plan to enter the Kanto. In fact, the relevant plan has been in progress since last year, only because of the distraction of several wars But delaying the progress, now that winter is turning to spring and it is a good season for spring water heating, Echigo's further offensive plan is also put on the agenda.

When the ministers were discussing the marching plan, a piece of news from Yuezhong broke his good mood. The Yuezhong, which had been stable for half a year, was once again making waves. The matter has something to do with the position of Jinbao Chief who fled to Kaga. Since this person abandoned Masuyama Castle and left Kaga, he has been in a constant state. It is very difficult to control the movements of Etsuchu through his own influence.

Regarding the new situation of the Ichikui in today's place, Tokiyuki Yamamoto can't come up with a good way to cure it, because they are different from the Ichikui violent group led by Shengxing Temple and Zuizumi Temple. Since the Ichikui army of the two temples was annihilated, Since the temple Garan was demolished and burned into a piece of white land, Yiyi Kui from Etsuchu has broken up into pieces and lurked. As long as they want to hide their identities and beliefs, it is almost impossible to be discovered with the help of local believers.

The hidden backbone of Yixiangzong can only be regarded as a cancerous hidden danger of law and order, but when they combine with the local citizens who are dissatisfied with the Kira family's rule, and the local servants lead the village, and then cause troubles in Yixiangyi, it will bring more troubles. It is often when the army is dispatched to chase and destroy the village. The main force of the long-term has already moved to other areas. Even if it is trapped by Tokiyuki Yamamoto, there are still some ways to escape. Even if some small fish and shrimps are caught, they will dig No more valuable information.

"Damn Ichiko Zong, and damn the head of the Jinbao!" Kira Yoshihito suppressed his unhappiness and said lightly: "Tell the master to let him do it. Be careful of the infiltration of Ichiko Zong from the direction of Kaga, If you need anything, send a message through the waterway! Yuezhong needs to work harder on intelligence collection."

"Yes! Your servant must do it as soon as possible." Mochizuki Jichang replied respectfully. In fact, the information channel of Etsuchu has been successfully assumed, such as Toyama Castle, Matsukura Castle to the sea, and the flying pigeons from Jincheng to Uojin Castle. , and then took the fast boat Xiaozao to Naoejin to deliver information through the sea channel connecting Echigo.It can ensure that the information will be sent to Kasuga Mountain City within two days.

"By the way, An Yunshou's son is 14 years old, right? What's his name?"

Mochizuki Yoshinaga said in a low voice: "Inuzi this year's uniform, named Mochizuki Ejiro Kichimitsu, is starting from the lowest level of ninja in the Ninja Army."

"Yu Zheng was thinking about one thing. The Mochizuki clan in Saku County is the head of your clan. How about letting your son join the Mochizuki clan to inherit the clan's territory? Of the original 25 villages of the Mochizuki clan that were demolished, only eight The territory of this big village has not been reduced. If it is handed over to your son, it will be regarded as keeping the Zongzhen of the Mochizuki clan." [

"This..." Mochizuki Yoshinaga moved slightly, and then said calmly: "Isn't Yoshino Gozen's child inheriting the clan's family?"

Yoshihiro Kira had expected that he would ask this question, and said with a smile: "Yoshino is too young, Yu has no plans to have a child for Yu yet, and there is no rush to wait another two years, and the child she will give birth to Yu will naturally There is a family to inherit. But it will not be the lord of these eight small villages, so you can rest assured to inherit it!"

"I have another question. If Inuko inherits the family of the Mochizuki family, will the salaries of the minister and the Mochizuki ninja be cancelled? Is the Mochizuki ninja going to live in Saku County? It's not my servant who is greedy for money, but me. Mochizuki ninjas also have more than [-] people, and close to [-] relatives and descendants are not a small number, and if they are not handled properly, the ministers are very worried that the ninjas under him will complain." Mochizuki Yoshinaga expressed his worries.He hasn't yet said whether the larger Koga ninjas will be affected.

It even further affected the internal structural changes of Kira ninjas. Since the Mochizuki family representing Koka ninjas was promoted and promoted by Kira Yoshitoshi, the status of Koka ninjas has risen steadily and gradually suppressed the flourishing Iga ninjas, while the stupid Mochizuki Yoshino is the status guarantee of the Koka ninjas. I don’t know how many Koka ninjas are quietly praying behind their backs that Yoshino Gozen will have more boys.

The rise of Koka ninja's status made Iga ninja feel very nervous, especially in the third Kawanakajima battle, after Koka ninja successfully invited Detogakure ninja to make a great contribution and was greatly praised by Yoshitomi Kira, a short period of time Over the years, the pressure of the Koga Ninja and Togakushi Ninja to form an alliance to strengthen cooperation is like a mountain on the shoulders of the Iga Ninja.

As the supreme leader of the Iga Ninja.Masaki Hattori, who is serving as the vice-governor, has always been secretive about this. Masaki Hattori knew very well that Kira Yoshih hated the fierce internal strife among his retainers, and he even hated retainers who made troubles on their own. Baochang stumbled again because of the problems of several sons.Being relegated to Sakamoto Yodo is tantamount to actually withdrawing from the rank of important ministers of the Kami Ashikaga family.

Of course he didn't dare to make bigger moves, but Koga Ninja's moves are too big, and he will inevitably be looked down upon if he doesn't make any moves, so Masaki Hattori took the initiative to form an ally with Kato Danzou, the leader of the Xuanzu ninja, probably It is equivalent to the "nature" of holding together to keep warm and overcome difficulties together, so as to stabilize one's position and maintain the confrontation between Koga and Iga, rather than one of them being annexed by the other.

Xuanyuan's previous status was superior. You don't need to look at the face of the Kira ninja. You can also see the Kira family's government orders many times. Since the domination of the Three Kingdoms, Xuanyuan has also been naturally classified as the Kira Ninja. Now he is the third person of the Kira Ninja, which happens to be a little higher than the new leader of the Togakushi Ninja, Toda Gohei. Can rank No.4.

The combination of my four ninjas has indeed made Kira ninjas stronger than ever. There are more than 5000 ninjas alone. Over the years, more than [-] people have been recruited to provide information. They are mainly concentrated in Echigo, Shinano, and Ueno. This is followed by Echuchu, Kinai and the Kanto region, as well as the newly developed Dewa country, the information on the West, Shikoku, and Kyushu regions has not yet been developed, and even so is enough to make this powerful ninja army look down on the world.

Strong but not united, the effect of the four ninjas forcibly kneading together is naturally not ideal, and small frictions or even serious conflicts often occur.Fortunately, the leaders of the four ninjas also knew the priorities, and always kept this conflict within a certain range and did not break out.

Moreover, the "nature" of ninja's work makes their conflicts happen in the sound, and the beginning of the sound does not know when it disappears without leaving any traces. Even Ji Liangyi did not notice how serious the friction between them was. , I just know that the four ninja armies seem to be divided into two groups of people who don't like each other.I didn't expect how much change one of my policies might bring to them.

Just when Mochizuki Yoshinaga was frowning and thinking, the paper door of the evaluation room was gently opened, and Langoka Tanbo walked in with a peaceful smile, waving a feather fan, and said, "An Yunshou can rest assured, The master's arrangements are always in case of failure. I happen to know the master's plan, presumably the master intends to use An Yunshou as the first example!"

"Well! Yu has this intention. An Yunshou obtained 3000 shibu of these eight villages. Last year, because the land was just taken down to further improve it, last year's autumn harvest was 4 shi. This spring has already sowed. The rice planting must be harvested in autumn. In addition, these eight villages have a total population of more than 8000 people, with an average of more than 500 people in each village. The irrigation canals happen to be the richest land in Saku County, and this territory is handed over to An Yunshou, but not to you. Does An Yunshou know what Yu means?"

Mochizuki Yoshinaga is in charge of intelligence collection and sorting out, so he knows the information clearly, and after all, it is the main family territory of the Mochizuki family, and he will pay more attention to it. He also knows that the materials from the demolished castles and villages are being used in the construction of new and larger villages. Organized to undertake general labor to complete the establishment of their new home, the means of motivation is to build a better and stronger new home, and the farmers are very motivated, so that the farmers can work hard to serve the Kira family without knowing it. This is Mochizuki Kichi The place where Nagao admired Kirayoshi the most.

"Could it be that the lord meant..."[

"It's actually very simple. Your son Mochizuki Kichimitsu took over the position of family governor from you, and then passed on to your clan Shinano Mochizuki clan as the leader of the Mochizuki clan. The power of Mochizuki Ninja was stripped from your hands Transfer to your son, and the more than a thousand members of your Mochizuki clan plus the members of the Mochizuki clan in Saku County will be handed over to Mochizuki Jichong.

Mochizuki Yoshimitsu inherits a clan leader but does not need to be the local lord. The governance of the territory is left to the rest of the followers to take care of it. Every year, according to the statistics of Shigao in Mochizuki Territory, Mochizuki Yoshimitsu will be given the corresponding annual tribute after deducting taxes .You Mochizuki ninjas still stay in Kasuga Mountain City to serve Yu Fenggong with peace of mind, and you still do Yu's obedience. "

After Namioka Takabo explained from the side, Mochizuki Yoshinaga roughly understood the meaning of the family governor's decision. Basically, he let his son-in-law Mochizuki Yoshimitsu inherit the Mochizuki family, and then Mochizuki led the family in Saku County, Shinano Kingdom. The eight villages in the village were handed over to Mochizuki Jichong, but these territories do not need Mochizuki Jichong to take care of them, nor do they need to go to the countryside to set up other pavilions to take care of the territories, including supporting agricultural reforms, establishing water canals for drinking water irrigation, building river embankments to protect field ridges, and other measures They are all handled by acting officials appointed by the public.

And this territory is called Banner Power, which means the hereditary territory of the Ashikaga family's flag book. As long as the main family still keeps this territory, it will always be their family. Or the extinction of heirs will not deprive their clan of their territory, the main family will find a collateral relative for him as an inheritance to keep the family from being cut off.

In fact, the general meaning is like the earlier European Middle Ages in the same period. The rise of the knight class was based on the entrustment of manors similar to the banner skills. They did not need to take care of the farmland in the village, nor did they need to care about whether the peasants had enough to eat or slept well. I feel that all agricultural issues are handed over to the officials appointed by the monarch, which is equivalent to liberating the retainers from the role of local people, leaving the influence of the field and geographical factors, and concentrating on honing their skills To serve the master.

Seeing Yuejichang's thoughtful expression, Langoka Shoubo said with a smile: "In fact, the Lord has long thought of changing the existing system. The first warriors who followed the Lord did not have corresponding territories. The Ashikaga family has high salaries to support them, but this method has continued to spread. The majority of people in Echigo, Shinano, Ueno, and even Echaka are pure local samurai. The new vassal who surrendered will definitely not hand over his territory in exchange for a relatively generous salary, presumably An Yunshou can also understand this truth?"

Mochizuki Yoshinaga nodded approvingly, as if thinking of something, his eyes showed a little memory, and he sighed after a long time: "Yes! I have lived in Koga for more than 30 years, and I know that The people on the ground and the servants of the land have a very deep obsession with the land. No matter how rich the high-ranking officials are, they can't compare with the land in front of their eyes. It's better than losing land for some floating wealth that won't last long."

"Before this, the Lord lived in the land of Maru in the two counties of the Omi Kingdom, and he basically tried his best to seal the land to protect the interests of the genealogy generations. In the past few years after coming to Echigo, he has been thinking hard and thinking not to open up the situation as soon as possible, expand the territory to ensure us The prestige of the Kamiso Ashikaga family has not diminished. Five or six years have passed in a flash and now they have a territory.

In the past two years, some different voices have been conveyed to the hands of the adherents through various channels. After learning about this matter, the Lord attaches great importance to it. It came into being, and An Yunshoudian was very lucky to become the No.1 in the implementation of this plan. It can be seen that the Lord attaches great importance to An Yunshou! "

Lang Gang’s answer was simple and clear, which made it easy for him to accept this set of plans. He knew very well that there was an insurmountable gap among the genealogists at home, that is, those who received salaries and those who ate food from their own land. Pudai, although it seems that everyone is joking and joking, they are like good brothers when they get together to drink and brag and hang shoulders and shoulders in the first month, but because of this essential difference, they are naturally divided into two camps. Some small knots are difficult to untie.

However, the emergence of this set of plans can avoid related incidents to the greatest extent. Once the system of banner skills is successful, all the existing genealogy retainers in the Kamizuo Ashikaga family will receive the corresponding banner salary, and food from their own land will be basically the same. It is not much different from the treatment of those local warriors.

The only difference is that these genealogies don’t need to worry about the parents in the farm, don’t have to worry about the height of the seedlings in the field, the ears of rice are not full enough, and don’t have to worry about the river embankment being washed away by the flood every rainy season. Every dry season, I worry that the water in the ditches is not enough to irrigate my land, so I don’t need to get up early and greedy cats to plan food in the fields.

Living in Kasugayama Castle is not easy, safe, and very comfortable. No matter how you live in the farm, it is impossible to compare it with the convenience and speed of staying in Kasugayama Castle. Walking out of Kasugayama Castle is Naoetsu Town, the most developed town in Echigo and even the second half of Hokuriku. You can taste all kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables shipped from Kinai sea at any time, beautiful clothes carefully made by Wu Fuwu under Pipa House, dioramas from Nanban, colorful gems and precious silk from Ming Dynasty, Porcelain, in terms of the acquisition and use of resources, is not comparable to the Chinese lords living in the countryside.
