Chapter Ninety-Four: Kii Inspection
The proposal of the tie was unexpectedly tolerant, and it was easily approved by more than a hundred samurai and monks (including the melon-eating crowd who came to watch and brush up their presence).
Almost all of them were beaming with joy on their faces.
I don't know how President Konishi negotiated with them and scared people so much.
It seems that it is engaged in a very exaggerated diplomatic blackmail, by exaggerating its own combat capabilities and desire for expansion, and intimidating and forcing the other side to accept an unfavorable agreement.
I don't bother to ask how it was made up, it's all nonsense anyway.
To be honest, the effect is still very good.
Miyoshiya did not have the courage to express any objections, and the plan was implemented smoothly and smoothly without causing any waves; The weak concessions of the monks show that they are very weak in their hearts, so the Tie family can gain more benefits on the issue of Kii's land inspection.
However, this method is definitely not suitable for repeated use.
After all, it is just a bluff, success is just the icing on the cake, and failure is an addition. A strategy based on the general trend and strength is the long-term solution.
Governor Konishi is indeed a rare talent, but he cannot be given the authority to do things freely in diplomatic occasions in the future.
Actually, this should have been thought of a long time ago.
Fortunately, it's not too late to understand.
Since none of the others dared to disagree, with a stroke of his pen, he classified nearly one-third of the land of Awa and Sanuki as "no loss and no entry" temple territory, estimated that about 100,000 koku, with more than 60% obtained by the Shingon sect and less than 40% obtained by the Shingon sect and less than 40% by the Tsuyoko sect.
Correspondingly, the guardian duties of these two countries were originally occupied by Miyoshi Nagaji in an ambiguous manner, and Kyoto neither denied nor acknowledged it. Now he is replaced by the noble Hosokawa Shinyuki, and Hirate Hazuhide will introduce him to Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
The likelihood of gaining approval was very high, because the shogunate itself was the core representative of the old forces, and it was unlikely that they would take the initiative to veto the public affairs of other old forces without a conflict of interest.
The conditions for obtaining this title were that Yasunaga Miyoshi and Naoharu Yukawa served as the guardians of the eastern and western parts of Awa, respectively, while Tokawa Depository served as the guardian of Sanuki.
Shigehide Suzuki and Nokei Kagawa had a chance to compete for a similar position, but the former was not resolute enough, and the latter was too strong to play a role, so they missed the opportunity.
The culprit, Miyoshi Choji, was mercifully forgiven, and no punishment was imposed except that he was ordered to shave his hair and live in seclusion, and he was not allowed to intervene in mundane affairs.
The fact that he didn't even assign someone to monitor and control it can be described as quite conniving and negligent.
Of course, Miyoshi Changji does not have any thoughts of gratitude for this.
Obviously, he was the one who suffered the most from the "Abophatan" incident.
Others are happy – or at least acceptable – with what follows.
Although both the Shingon Sect and the Ichijo Sect were tossed a lot, they finally got their face back in time. For religious powers, face is often more important than land and money.
Most of the monks may not have been willing to give up their Kii lives and go to Shikoku to start a new business, but in the face of soft knives cut by boiled frogs in warm water, it was difficult for the monks who were accustomed to fine clothes and fine food to have the determination to unite and raise an army to resist.
When he divided the sphere of influence, he was inclined to the Yixiang Sect, and he took care of his prospective in-laws. For Shingon Sect, he privately sent some gold to gag his mouth.
The happiest person is Mayuki Hosokawa.
He has changed from a symbol of an empty family and no real power to a symbol of both family and fame - real power is still absent, but after having fame, he always sees a little hope of gaining real power.
So Hosokawa is very grateful to Hinode Tsunohide - at least on the surface. He has repeatedly said that he wants to repay the appreciation of the public side and the Tie Punishment Department. Although he has no long things, not even a good-looking sister or daughter, there is really nothing to show for his kindness.
His wife used to be the legendary "No. 1 Beauty in the Four Kingdoms", but now she is close to fifty years old.
Miyoshi Yasunaga and Shihe Deposit Insurance behaved awkwardly.
After this wave of shock, their family has suffered another heavy setback, and it is already crumbling on the verge of collapse. But without the stupid, stubborn and violent Miyoshi Changji messing around on his head, the powerful position of these two relatives is further than in the past.
Hosokawa Shinyuki has no foundation at all, and he has never had much ambition, so if he is the guardian of the two countries, he will not make great efforts to make drastic changes.
Naoharu Yukawa and Shigehide Suzuki, who were outsiders who had been forced over by the Tie family, would still be unstable on Shikoku Island for a while and a half.
Kagawa Shiki, who was the first to surrender to the Oda family, was beaten too badly by Shinohara Nagabo last year, and may not be able to recover for three or five years.
The bald donkeys are a great hate, but the demarcation of the mission is not so terrible.
Therefore, the remaining two members of the same family have become the only two people who speak at the moment.
If you think about it carefully, Miyoshi Yasunaga, as a tea man, was able to establish a relationship with the Heite family through Tsuda Muneki, Hasegawa Munehito and others. Shihe Deposit Insurance and the "Ghost Boy" Tie Xiuyi hit it off at first sight, like-minded and became friends with martial arts.
If the two of them are willing, it seems that they have the opportunity to soar in the system of the Tie Family and establish meritorious deeds.
In this way......
Can the Miyoshi family still be considered independent?
Or, after a period of time, does the political entity of the "Three Good Families" still exist in the world?
I don't dare to think deeply about such questions.
In addition to Hosokawa Shinyuki, another elated one is Naoharu Yukawa.
It's a complicated thing to say.
The Kii Yukawa family, originally just a group of Chinese people from humble backgrounds, gradually developed from one village to one stone to 350,000 stones, and they still have little reputation abroad.
However, the head of the previous generation, Yukawa Naomitsu, was briefly appointed by the Hatakeyama family as the "Guardian of Kawachi", and enjoyed the exemption of Tang umbrella, saddle cover, and Tuyu.
Since then, their vision has gone beyond one acre and three points of land, and they have begun to obsess about the upper class.
Now that the tie has fulfilled his wish and given him a "guardian generation of the Apodo Half Kingdom", he is smiling and cheering.
Yukawa's return was immediately delivered. He actively cooperated with the Kii Land Inspection, took the initiative to hand over his land account books, and quietly revealed the details of some of his neighbors, who undoubtedly had a bad relationship with him before.
After the tie Tsunade received the message. Send someone to verify it immediately.
More than ten days later, after a physical investigation, the Takugawa family concealed and falsely reported that the Yukawa family had 20% of the concealment and false report of their land, and the report and exposure of their neighbors was 30% water.
The ratio of 20% to 30% is quite sincere.
So he gladly accepted it, and did not pursue the slight concealment, but hinted at two sentences in a meeting a few days later.
It means that that low-level disguise can't hide Uncle Ben's sharp eyes at all, but it depends on your attitude, and you are too lazy to care!
This is a sparse and ordinary means of power.
But Yukawa Naoharu reacted very much, and showed great awe in public.
I don't know if it's a performance, or if the countryman hasn't seen the world.
It's a pity that such a reasonable Kii native is just such a one.
Although Shigehide Suzuki and Morishige Tsuchihashi have been involved, they still hold the idea of "mountainism" and have no intention of moving closer to centralized power.
The attitude of these two companies towards land inspection is that one does not resist, the other does not cooperate, and pushes one step at a time.
As for other forces that have not been bothered to come into contact with, it is even more conceivable.
At this time, the tie has not yet returned. After more than half a month of exploration, Nakamura Kazushi personally crossed the strait with the data and came to report: "The area designated by you, my lord, has been roughly counted. The total real estate is about 230,000 stones, of which 40,000 stones are temples and shrines, 80,000 stones are indeed inherited ancestral property, and the other 110,000 stones have been illegally obtained in recent years by taking advantage of the war. ”
In the troubled times of the Warring States Period, it was obviously impossible to come up with an effective standard to judge whether the territory of the Chinese people was legal, so the flat hand adopted a one-size-fits-all rough policy:
Anything that occupies more than 10 years will be regarded as legal, and the previous situation will no longer be pursued. Newly acquired land in the last 10 years is considered illegal unless it is acknowledged by a written pleading, the former guardian of the Hatakeyama clan.
This criterion may seem arbitrary, but it was also carefully conceived.
Twenty years after it was set, it was traced back to the previous generation, and the attack was too widespread. If it is set at five years, then not much "illegal territory" will be confiscated, and ten years is just right.
After listening to Nakamura Kazushi's report, Hirata thought for a moment and ordered: "If you are new here, be polite to them!" In general, the temple and the people of the country are allowed to have 20,000 stone of adjustment space, and 110,000 stone of illegal territory, as long as 70,000 stone is collected as a direct jurisdiction, I am satisfied. ”
"That'...... What does the lord mean when it comes to military service and taxation? Nakamura asked cautiously.
"The temple said that it was okay and there was no need to bear it. The people of the country...... Let's just give some policies to the newly surrendered land, let's just say that for the sake of the courage of the four countries in the expeditionary war, they will only be allowed to pay half of the military service this year and next year, and they will not want to send troops and choose to pay the exemption of military tax, which is also a 50% discount. Sixty percent in the next year, seventy percent in the next year, and so on, and only after five years will the obligations be fulfilled normally. ”
Tie Tetsu generously made concessions.
He didn't expect to get much income from Kii, he just wanted to keep track of as much land and population as possible.
There are more political purposes than economics.
"Yes!" Nakamura Kazushi said that he obeyed the order, and then immediately continued to ask: "The lord is in Izumi and Awaji, and he has already distinguished the security inspection from the mission of going out to fight. So, is the Metropolitan Police Department going to set up a branch in Kii as well? ”
"That's true!" Pingshou Fan Xiu nodded hurriedly, "Don't say I almost forgot about it...... Call Hattori Haruan tomorrow and discuss how to deal with it together. After he retired, the Metropolitan Police Department did a good job, but there may not be someone under him who is in charge and sent out to be the head of the branch......"
There really doesn't seem to be much that can be done about this.
Talents in all aspects of military and political affairs can always be found, so where should professional security officials go?
You can only cultivate it yourself.
