Chapter 1188: Eradication of the Samurai System
Mai Ke assigned all the feudal lords in various places, that is, the daimyo of each feudal country, and handed them over to the three-way army, and they must be arrested and brought to justice, and none of them are allowed to be caught!
Among them, Vilskoy, who attacked from the coastal line on the right side of Honshu, led the original Russian fleet and was in charge of Kurokushima, Minamika Peninsula, Akita, Tobijima, Kurishima, Niigata, Zuodu Island, Okura Island, Nanachishima, Noto Peninsula, Toyama, Kanazawa, Fukui, Tottori, Oki Islands, Shimago Islands, Shimamae Islands, Matsue Islands, and other places.
Wherever they went, not only must the daimyo who live there be captured, but the samurai under their command must also be registered, and unless they are transformed into heavenly armies, they will all be disbanded on the spot.
The disbanded samurai, who need to be properly settled, can be converted to any civilian industry, industry, agriculture and commerce.
If necessary, the Celestial Army will give timely help.
Peter, who led the original American fleet, was supposed to attack from the left.
The division of labor that has been received now is the Oshika Peninsula, Mt. Kinka, Sendai, Mito, Boso Peninsula, Chiba, Yokohama, Izu Shichishima, Oshima, Niijima, Kozujima, Miyake Island, Mikurajima, Rantanha Island, Ogasawara Islands, Izu Peninsula, Shizuoka, Tsu, Shima Peninsula, Oshima, Tokushima, Shikokushima, Kochi, etc., and they do the same things wherever they go and do the same things as Vilskoy.
The middle army is still in charge of Mai Ke, except for the big names who are responsible for the capture of the left and right navies, all of which are solved by Mai Ke.
The first thing Maike had to deal with was the daimyo between Edo and Kyoto.
These two prosperous areas, as well as the middle zone connecting the two regions, are the political and economic centers of the Dongying Island nation.
These big names are all on Mai Ke's blacklist, and they must be arrested one by one.
These daimyos, who were obedient to the Edo shogunate, had a certain amount of economic, political, and social self-determination within their domains. Let them develop castle or castle towns.
As such, they had the function of a small state—the daimyo were often referred to as "feudal lords" and their retainers as "feudal lords".
Some powerful daimyo also set up "branch domains" within the main domain, and the lord of the branch domain was usually a retainer of the main domain, such as the "family elder". or a blood relative.
In contrast to the feudal domains, the Tokugawa shogunate's direct domain was called the "Heavenly Domain".
Although these feudal domains had their own rights, the feudal lords were required to send their sons to Edo Castle as hostages, and this was a system of "alternate pilgrimages."
Feudal lords were not allowed to build castles at will, as the Edo period had already established a decree of one castle per country, but in fact there were already many castles in a country, and the daimyo could also approve the establishment of a castle through the shogunate.
Some feudal domains did not have "Ishitaka", such as the Matsumae Domain in Ezo, but they were approved by the Tokugawa Shogunate. With 10,000 koku qualifications, it became a feudal domain.
This stone height is a unit of measurement of the total local grain production, and it must reach a certain level before certain things can be done.
For example, the Uesugi clan used Yonezawa Castle as its residence, and it was commonly called Yonezawa Domain. The nearby Date clan lived in Sendai Castle. It is called Sendai Domain.
However, if the domain of a feudal domain occupies most or more than one country, it is usually called by the name of the country, such as the Kaga domain of the Maeda clan and the Satsuma domain of the Shimazu clan.
At that time, the largest feudal domain was the Kaga Domain of the Maeda clan, which owned more than 1 million koku of Ishitaka and owned the two countries of Kaga and Noto.
It was called a feudal domain that had a daimyo of more than 10,000 koku at the time. It was started by the Confucian scholars of the time - in ancient China, Zhou Tianzi divided the territory to the state and let the princes govern, and the concept was to obey the Son of Heaven.
Similarly, the daimyo of the Toei island kingdom were subject to the shogun, so they were called "feudal domains." However, the official structure of the Edo shogunate did not have the design of a "feudal domain", and the name "feudal domain" was not used for communication between the daimyo "feudal lords". Instead, it is called "in so-and-so's house".
Although it was not an official system name at the beginning of the Edo period, it was used only by a certain number of people, and after the Genroku period, it was only known as Cheng dù, which can be seen everywhere.
It was not until the Meiji era that it officially became a system of public ownership, and the name began to be widely used. Before the Meiji Restoration, the total number of feudal domains before the abolition of the Toei Island Kingdom was 276.
By the end of the Tokugawa shogunate, the territories that had been directly under the shogunate were changed to the jurisdiction of the emperor.
These territories also formed prefectures.
The residence of the lord of the feudal domain was called the feudal domain, and within a short period of time, the three systems of prefecture feudal domain were implemented according to the name of the prefecture, and the Kaga domain was renamed Kanazawa feudal domain during that time.
From then on, the feudal castle version was gradually returned.
It was not until 1871 that the abolition of the feudal domain began, and the feudal system came to an end.
During the period of unification of the feudal system and the prefecture and city system, the names and domains of many feudal domains, and the administrative divisions of the current Toei Island Country, the names of the cities and the areas within the prefectures are the same.
In the Edo period, the early samurai laws regulated the "daimyo of a castle lord with a height of more than 50,000 koku".
"The lord of the 50,000 stone less than the battle house is a nickname."
At that time, there were more than 270 daimyo in Japan, and under the Edo shogunate's ruling system, they were divided into three categories: kin-domain, genealogy, and exogen.
The Yoshii Domain's Eagle Division, Matsudaira Left Guard, had a height of 10,000 koku and six villages, with a real height of only 1,878 koku, making it the lowest daimyo among the known daimyos.
The highest real height was 1.3 million koku of Prime Minister Matsudaira Kaga of the Kanazawa Domain, which governed more than 2,300 villages. The daimyo with the lowest table height was Yamazaki Shimamori of the Nariba Domain and Tahara Domain, and the table height was only 5,000 koku.
The daimyo of the clan were feudal lords related to the Tokugawa family, and among them, the Owari, Kii, and Mito domains, which were known as the three royal families, were the most important.
The Imperial Three Families system was created by Tokugawa Ieyasu, and its meaning is that when the shogun's family has no successor, the Mito family is the superintendent of the daimyo heirs, and the heirs are created in the Kii and Owari families.
After the first shogun, Tokugawa Ieyasu, founded the Gozo family during his lifetime, the eighth shogun, Tokugawa Yoshimune, had his second son, Tokugawa Sotake, establish the Tayasu family, and the fourth son, Tokugawa Soyin, founded the Hitotsubashi family.
Later, the ninth shogun, the Tokugawa family, asked his second son, Tokugawa Shigeyoshi, to establish the Shimizu family, and since then the system of the Imperial Three Secretaries has been established, and his family character is second only to the Imperial Three Families.
The pedigree daimyo daimyo or hereditary daimyo family refers to the generals who followed Tokugawa Ieyasu until the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600.
The status of the daimyo of the pedigree was second only to that of the daimyo of the pro-feudal domain, and most of them held important positions in the shogunate, and they had a certain status and power in society, but there were very few of them, such as Honda Masanobu and Okubo Tadashi.
Tokugawa Ieyasu designed the shogunate to rule completely under the control of the daimyo of the clan and the daimyo of the lineage, and the daimyo of the outside were not allowed to participate.
The daimyo were the daimyo who were forced to surrender during the Battle of Sekigahara, and some of them had great strength.
For example, the Maeda Toshiya of the Kaga Domain had a domain of 1.2 million koku, the Shimazu Tadatsune of the Satsuma Domain had a territory of 770,000 koku, and Date Masamune of the Sendai Domain had a territory of 625,000 koku.
All three are famous and have the most territories in the country.
However, they did not have the power of a feudal clan or a daimyo of genealogy, and they were often monitored by the shogunate, so even if they wanted to rebel against the Tokugawa family, they could not succeed.
Because most of the territories of the daimyo were in remote areas, it was easiest to combine with foreign forces during the period of national isolation, and it became the main driving force for the downfall.
Gun-gun is an administrative division that has been in use since the Taika Reform in 646, when Japan was divided into three administrative divisions: country, county, and li.
The State Division, the County Division, and the Governor of the Interior.
However, with the collapse of the centralized power of the Toei Island Kingdom, the county system later became a county and township system, and in the shogunate period, county commissions and county offices were established under the major daimyo states.
Now that the Heavenly Army has formed a trend of catching turtles in an urn against Sapporo, whether it is Yokoji Shunichi or others, it is difficult to get rid of the fate of being captured alive by the Heavenly Army.
It's no wonder that Mai Ke is full of confidence, and now the heavenly army has surrounded Sapporo on all sides!
In both directions to the north and south, there were naval divisions of the Celestial Army, who attacked Sapporo at the same time from the upper and lower reaches of Hirakawa!
And this attack, the defenders are very difficult to stop!
Because Hirakawa is a wide river, when it enters Sapporo, it is still 50 zhang wide, so there is no fortification at the critical point where this large river enters and exits Sapporo!
The sailors of the Heavenly Army drove straight in like this!
There is Sun Wukong making trouble in the belly of Princess Iron Fan, and it is difficult for the heavenly army not to win!
There was no problem with Shun lì, but the siege of the Heavenly Army was still met with great resistance!
Yokoji Shunichi made a desperate gamble and drove all those who could move to the castle to resist the heavenly army!
A city of 200,000 people had 150,000 people on the battlefield.
As for the side of the waterway, since they can't stand it, they just let it go, don't make a move, and let them toss around!
However, no matter how many people defend the upper castle of Sapporo, it is not as good as the heavenly army!
The three various brigades of Pig's Head, Donkey Head, and Yokoji Shunzo are now full, with a total of 300,000 troops.
300,000 troops! That's more than double the garrison!
The quality of these people, individual soldier against individual soldier, at least more than doubled!
It's equal to four people fighting one!
In addition, the Heavenly Army also has a Goryeo special team!
Pu Tehuan is eyeing the tiger, how can he not intervene!
Besides, there are quite a few Koreans in the city! at least a few thousand.
These Goryeo people, who represented the expansion efforts of the Goryeo kingdom, had reached such a distance.
The siege of the Celestial Army began, and Shunichi Yokoji commanded the battle, and arrows, stones, and even guns were dumped on the wall and up to the Celestial Army.
Both sides of the public housing are residents of Dongying Island Country, and they know each other very well, so they showed their highest skills as soon as they got started.
If you have a trick, hurry up!
In this battle where there are piles of dead people every second, if you don't use the highest skill to ensure your survival, you may not have a chance in the next second!.
