At the same time as the samurai official position system, the official system of the samurai began to be officially implemented in a series of articles collectively known as the "Laws of the Samurai".

Among them, the three most important points are the "Great General Invitation", "Decree on the Construction and Abandonment of the City" and "Attendance System".

The main purpose of the "Great General Invitation" is to improve and reconstruct the road traffic situation throughout Fuso based on the old system of the Goki Seven Provinces.

Starting from the region near Kyoto, there are three core "first-class national highways" that extend from Hokuriku to Dewa, Tokaido to Mutsu, and Sanyodo to Kyushu, with a width of more than eight ken (14.5 meters) and barrier-free passage for large troops.

Then, the old Nakasendo Road, Nankaido Road, Yama**, as well as Kanto and Kyushu each set up a new street, and a total of five "second-class national roads" were required to be more than six rooms (10.9 meters) wide.

On this basis, 14 branch lines are planned as "third-class national highways" to form a criss-crossing network, and the width of the required is more than four (7.3 meters).

The three hierarchies are collectively known as the "Twenty-two Streets", and they belong to the major projects in which the shogun and the "Nian Yoshi" personally intervene and urge the daimyo from all over the country to contribute money and people to participate in the joint project. Since it is the people of the whole world who benefit, and not just the Hirate family, it is only natural to ask the princes to contribute.

The rest of the local princes can also build the road on their own if they want to, or several families join forces to build the road, which is a private act, and does not make any specification requirements.

The shogunate will also build some additional small roads in its direct territory, but then it will not be necessary for the shogun and the "Nianji" to personally intervene, nor will it be necessary to mobilize the princes of the world, but will be handed over to the "ministry" department.

All levels of national highways must be paved with gravel and sand to prevent rainwater, and trees of the specified species should be planted on both sides of the road, and the distance between adjacent roads should not be more than three (5.5 meters).

Take the forty-town town (about 4.3 km) as a mile, and bury a stone monument every other mile on the road to indicate the location. On average, every seven to eight miles, that is, thirty kilometers, a small post station is set up. Every thirty-five miles, or about one hundred and fifty kilometers, a large post station is set up.

The post station is mainly used for public servants to stay on business trips, and does not receive ordinary people, and also takes into account the tasks of military stations, warehouses, logistics, and postal delivery, and is responsible for different departments, and also conceals intelligence personnel who supervise various places. At the same time, the land adjacent to each post station was given to merchants to open shops, and the cost of maintaining the road network was covered by taxes. The franchise of the car and horse shops in various places is also a lot of income.

The "Great Invitation" activity, as well as future repairs, was completed by mobilizing the princes. However, the shogunate was responsible for all the revenues and expenditures of daily operations.

In conjunction with the construction of roads, there are new bridges and water conservancy, but those are secondary. Combined with the previous "Pirate Prohibition Order", the main land routes and shipping lanes of Fuso were all placed under the direct jurisdiction of the Heite family, forming tentacles to rule the world.

In this era, it was impossible for the centralization of power to penetrate deep into the countryside, and as long as the ports, towns, and post houses were controlled as desired, they were already more powerful than in any other era in history. The operation of the transportation network implicitly stipulates that the central departments, local departments, large imperial merchants, and local small traders all have a certain degree of participation, and they can compete with each other appropriately.

The "Laws of the Samurai" affirms the principle of "making noise and making two successes", that is, if you are beaten by someone, you cannot easily fight back, and you must first report to the shogunate. Unless it is attacked in its own city, it has unlimited self-defense rights, and can cut first and then play.

The princes were not fools, and it was obviously conceivable that in the event of a dispute in the future, the daimyo with more cities would take advantage, and those without cities would be particularly miserable and could only be beaten.

Therefore, the "Decree on the Construction of Cities and the Abandonment of Cities" is very important.

In principle, Heite Honshu believed that families with less than 100,000 koku should only keep one castle, two between 100,000 and 300,000 koku, three between 300,000 and 600,000 koku, four between 600,000 and 1,000,000 koku, and five above 1,000,000 koku.

In addition to specifying the quantity, the size and height should also be specified.

No more, no less, no big, no small, no tall, no short.

Anyone who is close to each other, regardless of their relatives, will be punished with seppuku at the worst and be reduced to claustrophobia.

Mismanagement leading to the dereliction of duty is also a dereliction of duty, which is punishable by fines and corrections, and the removal of the governor if the failure to do so is continued.

It is not a completely rigid and impersonal rule, but the daimyo who are relatively poor and cannot maintain too much defense can ask the shogunate for a certain reduction, and the daimyo who feel that they are rich and the surrounding situation is chaotic can also ask the shogunate to increase the limit. Generally, as long as it makes sense, they will agree or partially agree.

In general, the core theme is to speak first, and then do things, and it is easy to say anything. Do it in private first, and then ask for mercy, then don't blame the ruthless.

It is to deliberately reverse the phenomenon of the "soil emperors" doing their own thing, and instill the consciousness of "procedural justice" into it.

In order to strengthen the relationship between the princes in remote areas and the shogunate, the "attendance system" was indispensable.

This is what the "original history" Edo shogunate did. However, Hikawa does not intend to be as tough and unreasonable as Tokugawa Iemitsu.

It was inevitable that daimyo from all over the world would be asked to establish a yashiki in Kyoto. However, there are no strict time regulations, and those who do not want to come are allowed to ask for leave at any time, and only need to calculate on the scale of five years, and the total time for the head of the family to attend work reaches 18 months. If the heir is already in the meta-service, it is also the same number requirement.

There was no requirement for the wives of the main families to come - perhaps this would have caused some daimyo to leave their wives at home, spend more time in Kyoto, and then fail to give birth to a son-in-law, causing a riot and ending up with an heir and confiscating the land...... Plan to pass!

So, what can the daimyo and heirs of the foreign feudal lords who came to the shogunate do?

It is impossible to really involve them in governance.

As a guide, the shogunate holds its usual events in in April, May, and June every year.

First of all, there are traditional events such as large-scale tea ceremonies, renga, and Noh theater viewing. The princes took turns on the stage, and they all had the opportunity to serve as tea heads, recite poems, and appear in the repertoire themselves, and of course they could also appoint retainers to replace them.

Then there were competitive competitions of bows and arrows, equestrianism, swordsmanship, iron cannons, and sumo wrestling. The shogunate and each feudal domain sent representatives to participate, and the winners were able to make a big splash at the grand award ceremony. In the future, you can add more events and make a medal table when you have time.

There is also a "auction", which offers a variety of luxury goods such as tea ware, paintings, sculptures, weapons, antiques, and imported goods, as well as high-priced drinks, food, clothing, and accessories.

At present, the three tentative activities are all means to stimulate the self-esteem of the princes and induce irrational consumption. In the future, you can't fight wars at will, and whoever wants to be in the limelight can only hire smart artists, train powerful athletes, or spend a lot of money to show off your financial resources.

The current foreign daimyos, such as Tokugawa Ieyasu and Mori Terumoto, must understand the truth of "making a fortune in a muffled voice" and will not indulge in it. But what about the next generation? What about the next generation?

Anyway, it will take a long time to improve the attendance system.

The tie managed to dig a lot of holes, but the first year was not fully implemented.

The reason is a succession of small upheavals that have arisen everywhere.

The aftermath of Okuha's repercussions continued, and the resistance against the new lord Tokugawa Ieyasu was very violent, but this guy always captured the head before it got a big deal and quickly quelled the chaos. Although his 1,140,000-stone territory was divided into several enclaves by Date, Mogami, and Kasai, it was well protected and there were no problems.

In the region, Hyakuchi Tanba, which originated in the Iga province, attacked the people who participated in the "Dapu Invitation" road construction movement, which led to a justifiable crusade by the shogunate, but Kato Mitsuyasu, Baigo Ieka, and Yamauchi Katoyo made repeated attacks without making progress, and within two months they eliminated less than 500 people and suffered nearly 1,000 casualties.

At the same time, riots broke out in the Higo and Hizen areas of Kyushu against land seizures. The same new lord Takeda Katsuyori was not as good as Tokugawa Ieyasu, and he easily won every battle in the face of the rabble of the rabble, but the more he fought the enemy, the more troops he fought, and he fell into the "sea of people's war" and had to ask the shogunate for help.

coincided with the shogunate's first imperial office suddenly fell seriously ill and died quickly, with a life span of less than forty. The general was also shocked, and his will and spirit were quite depressed.

After Yoshimitsu Hirate mourned his mother, he took over the crowd, first gathered 20,000 banner troops, recruited 20,000 peasant soldiers, and then mobilized 30,000 foreign feudal coalition troops.

Fujibayashi Masaho and a few others surrendered early, and most of the wealthy people resolutely resisted.

It only takes a day to walk around the border in the small country of Iga, but it took three months of hard work and effort for the crusading army to take it.

The local people and monks, I don't know if it was the ninja pretending to be or the courage enough, actually repeatedly launched night sneak attacks on the army, and even the old and young women and children went into battle.

The father of a certain concubine of the second generation of the shogunate, the Nakano clan, a common man of Ise Province, received a new son called "Futaro", and was also specially given the status of a general. As a result, he was unwary of the "innocent people" when he was stationed, and was attacked by a group of women and children, and unfortunately was killed by a hoe and slashed in the neck.

Hearing this, Yoshimitsu was furious and announced the implementation of a "scorched earth" strategy in the sphere of influence of Baidi Tanba.

In three months, at least 20,000 people were killed, and the western half of Iga Province became a living hell, with bones exposed and more than 100 people alive.

This group of mountain people, who value freedom more than life, can finally no longer resist.

Of the land of about 100,000 stones, 50% was included in the direct jurisdiction, 30% was rewarded to the meritorious generations, and the rest was distributed as a reward for the war against foreign vassals.

Then Hirate Yoshimitsu came to Kyushu and found that there were probably 100,000 people involved in Hizen and Higo, and he couldn't think of any way.

What I did in the mountains and forests of Iga is obviously inconvenient to do it again in Kyushu.

This was not entirely due to Takeda's improper measures, but also the sudden death of Kai Muneun. After fattening, I lost this pillar and seemed to be a little out of control.

Fortunately, at this time, the local Nabeshima Naoshige came to the door to ask for a meeting, offered a good plan, and took the risk to go to implement it himself, using the means of manipulation, instigating a group of believers in the Krishitan and traditional gods and Buddhas among the people to kill each other, and the spiritual level disintegrated the enemy.

After that, the situation finally reversed, and Yoshimitsu led 10,000 troops to sit in Chikuzen, and let Takeda Katsuyori, Shimazu Yoshihiro, Nagamune Ibu Motokin, and Hirate Ji Yin all lead the army to attack and achieve victory. At the end of the year, the 30 wealthy families who took the lead in making trouble either died on the battlefield, or were arrested and beheaded, and Kyushu was peaceful.

Afterwards, the Takeda family cut off 260,000 stone Chiyuki because of improper disposal, and a small half of these lands were divided as an enclave to reward the Kyushu princes who participated in the battle, and the rest was awarded to the first meritorious person Nabeshima Naoshige.

However, Naoshige Nabeshima only received half of it, and asked the shogunate to grant the other half to the former lord Ryuzoji family. In this way, he won the name of loyalty, and it was thought that he could be compared with the lucky life of the mountain.

In the end, Yoshimitsu Hirate came to Ou and found that Tokugawa Ieyasu had solved the problem well, and there was nothing to deal with. Moreover, the views of the princes of the Northeast seem to have changed somewhat and become less hostile.

Kasai Harunobu, Onodera Keimichi, Nanbu Nobunao and others even suggested directly giving Tokugawa Ieyasu the title of "Okuba Pipe Leader", so as not to have any urgent matters that the shogunate had time to deal with.

Only then did the young second generation vaguely understand why his father only wanted to give the old fox 800,000 stones!

But now the extra 340,000 stone has been given, and it cannot be taken back.

Instead, it has to be commended.

This is a question that deserves deep consideration.

Yoshimitsu Hirate returned to Kyoto and recorded his exploits before and after, and was promoted to the rank of "Shogun of the Three Great Governors, and Commander of the Shogunate" at the age of 23, indicating that he was ready to take over the shogunate.

At this time, the "Laws of the Martial Family" can finally be officially implemented.
