Chapter 30 Personnel Decisions

The matter of "Izumi Guardian Generation" may be because the level is too high and has not spread among the lower-level samurai. On the contrary www.biquge.info it was some personnel changes within the Oda family that caused waves first.

Matsui Yukan's Miao character is not unknown, and it can probably be related to the shogunate retrospectively. As for how he evolved into the identity of a native of Cheongju Town, it is difficult to verify that he became a monk again—a real monk, not a formal monk. Since the tie Fan Xiuyan asked him to serve as the affairs of Leshi, he has entered the field of vision of people with a heart. In the years that followed, the affairs of Kiyoshu Town stabilized, and he was never given this degree of room to maneuver, but he did not waver, but managed the territory of dozens of villages under the rule of Heishou in an orderly manner.

Now that he has become a direct minister, Oda Nobunaga has a lot of places to use, and with Matsui's ability, he is naturally like a fish in water, and maybe in a few years he will be able to rise to a high-ranking official such as Murai Sadakatsu.

Tokuyama Norihide is still a first-class samurai with 500 stone and 30 people in military service, and he has not increased at all. But he was placed under Nobunaga's banner, and he didn't have to worry about promotion opportunities in the future. This is also a huge improvement in status in the eyes of the world.

Hijo said goodbye to both of them in private.

Matsui Yukan is obviously a little nostalgic and sad. Excluding the emotional factor, Hirata gave extreme trust and attention to his work, and it can even be said that he looked at it with an attitude of vertical arching and decentralization, which Nobunaga obviously couldn't do. But it's impossible for him not to go, Ronghua Fugui may not care about Matsui, but as a capable person, he always yearns for a better space to play, otherwise he wouldn't have accepted the invitation of Tie Tsuei back then.

And Tokuyama Norixiu did not hide the excitement on his face. Of course, he is also very grateful for the recommendation, and he still treats the flat as a nobleman in his speech. In the future, the two parties may not have much emotional bonding, but they will still maintain various connections in terms of interests.

It is certainly a pity to send away talented people, but it is not a blow to the prestige of the tie, but rather a benefit. As long as you don't go against the old master, it's not a big deal in this era. As a political group, it is not possible for everyone to be the core of the group, but it is necessary to guide the peripheral people to contribute to the group and gradually move closer to the core.

This time, Matsui was introduced as a direct minister, and Tokuyama was also recommended, which can give these peripheral personnel an incentive, and will also give hope to those ronins who have some talents, but are not famous enough to appear in front of Nobunaga.

For the time being, it is enough for them to see the tie as a springboard to jump onto the dragon gate. Presumably, it won't be too many years before the flat family itself will become a dragon gate. The "plot" has advanced to this point, and Fan Xiu still has a lot of confidence in himself.

All in all, some of the above changes, although surprising, have not yet affected his mood to return home. The thought of the perch arose, and other matters were temporarily put aside.

However, when he returned home after a year, he had not had time to reunite with his wife and children, but he had to deal with business first.

This was probably considered a workaholic in later generations. However, in the eyes of most people in the city, this is a very normal thing. Lovers are often associated with weakness, and weakness is considered a sin by the samurai of this era, and even wives ruin their own looks so that their husbands do not covet the spring supper. It is impossible for a tie to go against everyone's three views.

The reason for the rush to deal with it is that Matsui Yuxian walked away like this, and he actually caused a small turmoil.

It even gave rise to some hints of factional struggles.

For the first time, Hirate realized that there were more than 100 retainers on record, and it was inevitable that a small clique would be formed.

Thinking back, after the development of enterprises on the earth from scratch to more than 100 people, it is inevitable that office politics will gradually arise.

Led by the old people who have followed for almost a decade. Although Kawada is a foreigner, he is highly regarded and is their leader. At present, the knowledge of a few hundred stones, compared to Kawada's talents, can not be regarded as a generous luck, but Heite Tsunohide has always regarded him as a vice-president, which can be said to be creditworthy, and Kawada has always been competent, although he has not achieved great success for several years, but all aspects of the work have probably been handled well, and he has established a certain prestige at home.

The Hattori brothers and Hirano Nagaharu both had a good relationship with Kawada, and the three Owari natives were all from low backgrounds and were not too capable - otherwise they would not have followed Honhide wholeheartedly when he was a teenager. But they have been loyal and diligent for many years, and they have no merit and some hard work, and they have some right to speak out of seniority. Asano Nagayoshi is the junior who actively moved closer to this circle, he is backed by nepotism, and now he is the backbone of the faction. Further down the list, there were about a number of low-level samurai who knew how to do dozens or even a dozen stones, most of whom were promoted from among the wealthy local peasants or down-and-out samurai, and naturally rallied around this collective.

In addition, the people on the side of Hitei Hideyi (Keiji's official name) who are with the force are also very familiar with each other with the people in this circle, and the two "Hite" families are still separated, but the relationship is getting closer and closer. Although the martial artists he recruited such as Keer Caizang and Ichiyanagi Naomo were very honest politically, they didn't hear of any restlessness, but they often caused some small accidents, but they still caused headaches. This time the news came from that side, and it is clear that those people have no interest in appealing, and it is purely instigated by others that the mood of "Owari-ism" has arisen.

Nakamura Kazuji, Ieka Worship Village, and Yumitsu Numata and Keikane Honda, who have just joined, are handsome people who gradually gained after Hisho Hide's fame. Their relationship with the old-timers is relatively poor. It's just that although these people are all in high positions, their roots are not deep, they can't talk about any factions, and their influence is also very weak. In particular, Numata, Kaida and others can only be regarded as guests for the time being, and they may leave at any time. However, Nakamura and Worship Xiangxiang, who are loyal and pragmatic and have strong ability, are the talents that Tsunohide likes, and it is precisely because of these two people who hold a neutral position as a comparison that we can more clearly see the postures of each person and faction in this farce.

The only thing that is more troublesome is the believers of the Sect who came from the Three Rivers. Except for Honda Masanobu, who has the lowest status and a single-family family, who was appointed by Honhide, the rest of the two or three hundred people who dragged their families with their families have been embarrassed so far and have not been included in the genealogy of the Oda family. Although Toda and Natsume are both warriors, but in troubled times, the most important thing in the world is people who dare to work hard to get rich and rich, and this martial arts is not enough to make people ignore the hidden dangers of religion. Although the Mikawa people had military exploits, Nobunaga had always only given money and food rewards, and only turned a blind eye to the application for land grants.

It has been five years since the believers left their homeland, and it has been observed that Honda, Kato, Ina and others have loosened their faith, but the leaders of Toda and Natsume still maintain their devout morning and evening prayers.

In this regard, Fan Xiu's attitude is to work hard from their children. As a person with later memories, he was interested in the young Ina Tadaji and the underage Kato Shigekatsu (later Kato Yoshiaki), the former of whom had been assisting Matsui Yukan in his work as a commissioner; The latter, along with many other courtiers, served as the boy companion of the son of Tsunohide, Yan Chiyomaru. I think that after these juniors gradually come to the forefront, the centripetal force of the Tie family will be much higher than that of their parents.

But this time, the problem lies with the juniors.

After Matsui Tomokan was introduced by Nobunaga as a direct minister, many people vaguely recommended Ina Tadaji to take his position, which was no problem in terms of ability and qualifications, and it was also in line with Hirate Hadohide's thoughts.

However, at the same time, there are various rumors in the family, and there are vaguely some unnamed characters who express their distrust and dissatisfaction with the people of Mikawa.

Owari and Mikawamoto have been fighting one after another, and now they are entangled in the issue of faith, so they have become even more sensitive. Although there were various faiths coexisting in Owari before, the Rinzai sect and the Soto sect, which were the most popular, were both very aggressive schools. Now that there is a Pure Land True Sect that destroys the world all of a sudden, it is indeed a bit annoying.

Previous attempts have been made to strengthen the ties between the Trois-Rivières and the natives by marrying them, but this method has been slow to bear fruit, at least until the marrying generation comes out to take charge.

From God's point of view, you can naturally accuse these people of being short-sighted, what is there to fight for in the territory of ten thousand stones?

But back to the perspective of the little people, this kind of behavior is understandable. Twenty-one villages, 4,400 people, 700 ashiba, including a hundred samurai with official Miao characters - this family property is already a powerful force in the hearts of the Shengdou people.

The so-called prevention of microaggressions, Fan Xiu simply arranged a small meeting immediately, and let the retainers of Zhixing with more than fifty stones come out.

————————————

When he was about to step into the conference hall, he suddenly found that the red pine planted by himself had sparsely grown a few pine cones, and then remembered that he had been sealed in the city for seven years. And the Oda family has been going on for 12 years. Today, before it was established, it has reached the guardian generation of a country, which can be called prosperous. All the way to the top, although it depends on its own foresight and wisdom, but there is also no lack of reasons to take advantage of the wind. All this is embarrassing.

As the elder said: A person's destiny must not only depend on self-struggle, but also take into account the course of history.

The draw reinvigorated his spirits and stepped into the conference room.

"Lord!"

"No need to be polite." Fan Xiu waved his hand and fell into the main seat.

In addition to Asano Nagayoshi, who was accompanying him, and Ii Naotora and Honda Masashige, who were on guard on both sides, there were more than 30 retainers present. Their shouts and bows were neat, but their expressions were different.

Kawada lowered his head and eyebrows slightly, and closed the lock, worrying about the country and the people; The Hattori brothers and Hirano Nagaharu are still exchanging glances, very serious; Kazushi Nakamura sat expressionlessly, ignoring what was going on outside the window; Tadaji Toda and Yoshinobu Natsume looked like they had been bullied and wanted to get revenge back; Ina Tadaji and his father, Tadashi, had adjusted their sitting posture several times, and it seemed uncomfortable at all; Kato Kyoaki kept explaining to the surroundings but no one paid attention to him, as if he was being squeezed out by other Mikawa fellows; Yumitsu Numata and Keikan Kirata are probably discussing swordsmanship, which seems out of place; The corners of Bai Xiangjia's mouth turned up slightly, and he didn't know what he was laughing at...... As for those who are too far behind, they don't have the heart to pay attention.

Hiteshu glanced around, took in everything, and the last thing he saw was Honda Masanobu. The two had never communicated beforehand, but only Zhengxin was smiling confidently, as if he was holding Zhizhu.

At this time, Fan Xiu felt a little jealous in his heart for no reason - can this guy really see all my thoughts? Or did you make this gesture on purpose? What is his purpose? What are the pros and cons for me? What should I do?

But now is not the time to think about that.

Pingshou Fan Xiu calmed down and said a scene first:

"Since the beginning of the ninth year of Eiroku, my family has been going to Luoluo with Owari Mamoru Lord, and you have worked hard and diligently, and today you are going to be rewarded for your meritorious deeds."

Although it was a scene, the sound still attracted the attention of most people. After all, everyone is not a saint, isn't hard work just to be rewarded? Maybe there are some well-informed people in this room who don't care about the output of dozens of stones, but this also contains an affirmation of past work and ability, not just money and food that can be measured.

What's more, this time, the tie Honshu design defeated Miyoshi, not only thanks to the Oda family, but also to the Shogunate. The people were looking forward to it, and they didn't know what reward the noble Ashikaga shogun would have.

"And yet—"

But then, the lord who was sitting at the table did not satisfy the curiosity of his subordinates, but changed his tone and said:

"Before that, there's something more important."

When the words were slowly spoken, she could feel the nervousness of some of the audience.

Probably they think it's time to announce a new candidate?

This kind of thing is actually not a big deal in the heart of the tie.

"—that's the next step in the draw." Fan Xiu raised his voice, "Thanks to the Oda Hall and the appreciation of Lord Kazukata, the family is about to march into the Izumi country and crusade against the Miyoshi Yudang Matsuura Hizen Mamoru and others who are hiding in the countryside. ”

At this time, Fan Xiu's afterglow swept a few confused faces. Obviously, there are a few people who don't know about the situation in Izumi, and they may not know who the powerful-sounding "Matsuura Hizen Mamoru" is. But there will definitely be no one to explain at the meeting, and they can go to the make-up class after the meeting.

In fact, at present, the core forces of the Miyoshi family have withdrawn from, and they have not left a foundation in Izumi Province. The so-called "Matsuura Hizen Mamoru " is the head snake force of Izumi. They had once confronted the Miyoshi family and were forced to become vassals, but now they have an ambiguous attitude, neither voluntarily surrendering to Ashikaga Yoshiaki nor openly opposing the shogunate.

I was worried about the counterattack of Miyoshi before, and I had no time to take care of this kind of wall grass. But now that the threat is solved, it is natural that the score will be settled after the fall.

The flat was silent for a short time, allowing the audience to digest it. At this time, everyone's eyes were focused, and not everyone was interested in the addition of dozens of stones, but when it came to the strategy of hundreds of thousands of stones in Hequan country, no one wanted to hear about it.

However, the lord once again did not satisfy everyone's curiosity, but returned to the previous topic, talking about the matter of rewards.

"If you fight well this time, I'm afraid you will have to live in Hequan for a long time in the future. As for the 10,000 stone territory of the city, it can be given to the soldiers. ”

Now the tie show finally saw the expected "everyone was surprised" scene.

If the 10,000 stone territory is really divided, there may not be too much for each person to get. But the momentum of the destruction displayed in the words is thought-provoking. The tie is a wise general, and he has never done anything untargeted, let alone boasting about Haikou at will. If he can divide all the current territory, he will naturally be sure to get more benefits.

What exactly does "Kuju Izumikoku" mean? How many territories can I get? 30,000 stones, 50,000 stones, or even more? If the Tie family becomes a small name in the world, how many knowledge and deeds can everyone here get?

- People with a slightly lower status, or those who are less thoughtful, are probably already full of such thoughts in their minds, and they don't have time to care about the rewards of the Shangluo Battles.

But it's these guys and their friends who are keen on factional struggles. With the amount of people like Kawada Changqin, it is not enough to start grabbing cakes now.

Then Honhide turned sideways to look at Toda, Natsume and the others, and continued:

"All the warriors of the three rivers have been fighting with me for nearly five years, but by mistake, they have not been officially included in the door wall of the Oda family, which is a pity. However, the day before yesterday, I had already discussed with the important ministers of the shogunate, so that you could temporarily settle down in Izumi Province as Ashikaga retainers, and still belong to my equal command. ”

For a while, the people of Sanhe were happy, and they didn't mention it.

The people of Owari were also more satisfied, because this group of disciples of the Zong Sect was counted under the shogunate, and they were naturally separated by one layer in the future. It's not good to grab merit again.

In the end, he summoned people to take out the exemption of the three instruments of "Tang umbrella bag", "felt saddle cover", and "Tu Yu". Except for a few who have just been promoted from the farmland, most people know that this is a symbol of the status of the guardian generation.

So whether it was as steady as Kawada, as cunning as Honda, or as well-informed as Numata, they were all greatly shaken and looked uneasy.

Even Hattori Kohei couldn't help himself, and he fell on the ground and said with tears in his eyes:

"After following His Highness for more than ten years, there will finally be today! Poor Maori brother died in the narrow barrel, and he didn't see the scene of the Pingshou family getting ahead! ”

Yumitsu Numata couldn't help but say:

"With His Royal Highness down to Owari, I saw that there was a purple light hidden in the ancestral temple of the Hirate family, and it was full of luxury, and sure enough, it was not true."

Ordinary people who don't have this eloquence should also say congratulations.

The picture of a large pie was very calming to the scene. After waiting for everyone to calm down, Fan Xiu returned to the original topic.

By the way—

"Matsui Tomokan has become Oda Naotomi, and in the future, Asano Nagayoshi will be the main officer, and Ina Tadaji will be the auxiliary."

Yes, no matter how well the pie is drawn, it is not a long-term solution. A balanced approach is inevitable after all.

On the one hand, let an authentic Owari person take up a post to avoid making people feel that the "outsiders" are too powerful. On the other hand, Asano Nagayoshi has always been on his side, handling all kinds of general affairs, and has no extra energy, and the actual affairs will still be managed by Ina Tadaji, and his ability in government affairs can still be fully utilized. At the same time, the people of Mikawa will not be dissatisfied.
