The official samurai system was officially implemented in February of the 7th year of Tensho (1582).

At that time, the shogun Hirate Hatsuhide was in the first position and had just stepped down from the position of the left minister, while the second generation of the shogun, Hirate Yoshimitsu was the commander of the town from the three.

From then on, a written convention was formed: the heir of the shogunate should be recognized as the heir of the dynasty after the Motofu, and directly obtain the samurai official position of "from the three Nayan and the shogun of the town guard", and then gradually rise to the rank of "the three great ministers and the shogun of the town guard" as the age and seniority increase, and then reach the "from the two internal ministers" while officially taking over the throne.

Behind it, there are "two right ministers", "one left minister", and "one prime minister", the strongest honorific title that is not even used by the tie Tsunohide.

Since the "military commander position system" is completely in the hands of the shogunate, it is to seal oneself, and theoretically it can be done whatever it wants. But because of this, it is not interesting to mess around, and it will only make the system a laughing stock and lose the effectiveness of being widely recognized.

Moreover, the symbolic significance of the position of "a prime minister" is far greater than the actual meaning, and it has often been empty for a thousand years since the Asuka era, and there is a emphasis on "rather lack than abundance".

Although the ministers accepted the "military general position system", they only had a deep obsession with the post of "minister of the imperial government", believing that there could be two left governments, two right governments, or two inner governments in the world at the same time, but there could not be two imperial governments.

The implication was that if the shogun was appointed as the imperial government, the imperial court would still recognize it, and consciously let no one serve at the same time, and even if there were those who were in office, they would be persuaded to retire voluntarily.

The insistence of the ministers on this point did not hurt in the slightest.

Then there are three families with different surnames.

The Hatakeyama clan had a tradition of serving in the "Emon Prefecture", but now it is stipulated that each successor in the future will be awarded the title of "Captain of the Fifth Upper Left/Right Emon" at the time of Motofu, and promoted to the rank of "Upper Left/Right Emon Commander from the Fourth" when he officially succeeds in his career, and is promoted to "Commander of the Upper Left and Right Emon of the Fourth Rank" after his meritorious service or seniority.

The Imagawa clan was assigned a similar position to the "Hyo-fu", a position often occupied by the Ashikaga Ichichi clan during the Muromachi period. As a rule, each generation of Yuan is the "Left/Right Guard Captain of the Upper Five", the official succession is "Left Guard/Right Guard Captain from the Fourth", and after a long time, it is the "Left/Right Guard Captain of the Upper Four".

As for the Miyoshi clan, it is a bit troublesome, and the ancestor has served as the national secretary at most, and it has climbed to the Ogasawara clan, the main branch of hundreds of years ago, that someone can play the right and less than the other. Then don't think about it, and it should be played on the main stage. The specific official positions are "Zheng Dazhong in the fifth position", "Zheng Shaobi in the fourth position", and "Zheng Dabi in the fourth position".

In addition, it is stipulated that in the future, the second sons, concubines, and side branches of these three families, if they are talented and perform well, can be licensed to serve as "second lieutenant from the fifth rank to the left/right guard", "from the fifth rank to the left/right guard second lieutenant", and "from the fifth rank to play the main loyalty", and they can also be promoted to the ranks, but they cannot be on the same level as the main head of the main family.

The head of the shogunate had made such outstanding contributions to the shogunate that when he felt that the "four masters" were not enough to reward his merits, he was exceptionally promoted to "from the three senators". If it is to save the sky and support the merits of the social level, the highest can reach "the three in the middle of the word". This will be the ceiling of the samurai official position in addition to the general's lineage.

In the future, these three families can be called the "Jingo Family", the "Wuwei Family" and the "Shuangtai Family" respectively.

Next, Tieshou Xiuyi, Tieshou Jiyin, Tieshou Changchen, Tieshou (Noguchi) Masori, and Pingshou (Shengjin) Zhenchang, these five people who enjoy the treatment of "Tongmiaozi" correspond to the location of Maliao, Hyogo, Yaleliao, Carpentry Liao, and the main tax liao.

Its official calendar began with "under the five positions" and ended with "under the four positions". The normal vertices are left/right horse head, left/right Hyogo head, karaku head, carpenter head, master tax head. Those who have made outstanding contributions will be promoted to the "lower than the four" or "the top four", and will be given the special gift of concurrently serving as the "Major General of the Left/Right Guards", and those who have made outstanding contributions will be promoted to the "Rank Three", and they will be appointed as the "Lieutenant General of the Left/Right Guards".

This reward was cashed on the spot when the "samurai official position system" was introduced.

Hirate Hideyi was awarded the title of "from the three right guards of the lieutenant general, and also led the right horse head", the tie Ji Yin was awarded the title of "the four upper right guards of the major general, and also the head of the right Hyogo", and the tie (Noguchi) Masato was awarded the title of "the four major generals of the upper right guard, and also the head of the Yaraku".

In addition, the foreign vassals who are not related by blood are slightly divided. If the territory exceeds 100,000 stones, or if there is something special, start from "XX from the top five", and take the national division as the family heirloom official career. Priority is given to country names that match your own territory, but they do not strictly correspond.

The Hetei clan temple is in Owari, and the first shogun of the shogun started in Izumi, and the second generation served as Omi Mamoru, so "Owari Mamoru", "Izumi Mamoru" and "Omi Mamoru" need to be avoided in principle. Then the practice of the three kingdoms of Ueno, Kamiso, and Hitachi is to replace "keep" with "Jie".

The daimyo with a lower status started with "starting from the fifth rank to the bottom xx". Corresponding to the various divisions under the legal order system, such as the chief officer of the Female Division, the chief official of the Weaving Division, the chief official of the Weaving Division, the chief official of the Hayato Division, and so on.

There are more than 60 countries and more than 30 divisions, which is not enough for all the big names to share, so in principle, duplicate appointments are allowed, as long as there is no confusion caused by "the same surname and the same official position".

With the passage of time, the governors of the foreign domains generally only increase in rank, but do not change their official positions, and the common sense is that they are from "from the bottom of the five" to the "top of the five".

A small number of outstanding people can be awarded the concurrent position of "from the four subordinate attendants" as a commendation. Tie Hyun Xiu gave eleven in one go.

Xiang Tokugawa Ieyasu was so conspicuous that he was appointed as "the fourth major general of the lower left guard and the leader of the Mutsu Shomo". This is also the position of Tokugawa Ieyasu before Nobunaga's death in the "original history".

The retainers directly under the shogunate corresponded to the official positions of the central organs under the eight laws and ordinances of the Ministry of Chubu, Shikibe, Zhibu, Ministry, War, Penalty, Finance, and Imperial Palace.

Starting from "from the fifth to the xx Shaocheng", and then to "from the five to the xx Dacheng", and then to "the positive five under the xx Shaofu", very few people can be promoted to "the positive five on the xx Dafu". It is also permissible to have a certain degree of repetition. The Ministry of Central Affairs avoided it because it was the department where the first shogun served.

The official career of the samurai is not completely based on their origin, but on the balance of family inheritance and promotion. The son of the old man can unconditionally obtain the shadow seal of "from the fifth position", but if he does not have the talent and drive, maybe his life will stop there, and the next generation may not be eligible to enjoy the official position.

This is completely different from the fact that daimyos can be promoted step by step as long as they don't make mistakes.

Similarly, a small number of outstanding contributors can be treated as "from the four lower attendants" or even "from the four lower left/right guards of the major generals".

About half an hour before his death, Kawada Nagajin received the honorific title of "Major General of the Fourth Lower Right Guard, and Daisuke of the Collar Shikibu", but unfortunately he was already confused at that time.

None of the other retainers were given this exceptional position, at least not yet.

When this system of "samurai official positions" was announced, most of the samurai were very happy, because they were strictly white before.

Including people like Takeda Katsuyori, Chosamune's first family, and the Ukita Naoya family on the verge of death, although they have been famous in the past, and there are also various high-sounding official positions, strictly speaking, they have not been officially recognized by the imperial court, and they are privately granted.

Tokugawa Ieyasu had previously received the official "Sho 5 Shimoyama Mamoru Shimogawa", but this time he changed it to "Masamu 4 Shiro Konoe Quan Major General and Commander Mutsu Mamoru " is a promotion, which makes no reason not to be happy.

But there are also some problems.

For example, Mori Terumoto, one of the foreign feudal clans, had already received the official "Right Guard Gate Governor" and "Right Horse Head" from the imperial court a few years ago, and was in the "subordinate four positions". However, with his position in the new shogunate, Hinote Honshu was only willing to give the "positive five Kamian Geshou", which was equivalent to a forced demotion.

There is also Hosokawa Fujitaka, who is listed as a direct minister of the spectrum, and it is more appropriate to award the "Fifth Lower Military Department Major Assistant" according to his qualifications, but he was the "Military Department Daisuke" in the imperial court twenty years ago.

In response to this situation, the unified treatment of the tie is that the current generation of leaders will maintain their current official ranks, and the next generation will begin to implement them according to the rules of the "samurai official position system". However, the lineage of their descendants will always retain the ability to break through the restrictions of official positions by reference to the example of their ancestors.

Of course, qualifications are just qualifications, and whether you can really break through or not depends on the ability to see the time.
