Chapter 50: The Adulterer
After retiring from the country, Fan Xiu left behind the four "flag heads" he had just appointed, symbolically instructing and encouraging them. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Of these four people, three were the first to surrender. The marsh is favored because of the greatest power (estimated at four to eight thousand stones, depending on the results of the land inspection), and the innocence of history (he has always been honest and stable, and has neither rebelled nor missed conscription) and has been blue-eyed; Manabe Gorou Uemon himself seems to be more talented, and his reactions and words are relatively good among the countrymen; The advantage of the Tamawa Shinbei is that he has rich experience in maritime trade, and he has a group of sailors who are better than nothing.
Dr. Yasuda Terada is different from the first three. He originally worked for the "traitor" Matsuura Sungoro, but he had already communicated with the Oda family, and at the right time, he defected and beheaded the old master. If it weren't for this person, Matsuura might have escaped due to the negligence of Ishikawa, Kasai and others.
In Nobunaga's letter, he expressed his appreciation for Terada's behavior, so Hirate Honhide was also prepared to give a high reward.
A large number of small people have gone, so the atmosphere in the room has become much more relaxed. After some unnutritious greetings, the four Chinese flagheads began to show their loyalty and make bold statements.
As you can imagine, most of them are clichés that have been heard 10,000 times.
For example, what Marsh said about "single-mindedness, without hesitation, must be conscientious under the rule of the equal-handed supervisor" Yunyun is really plain and dry, and it can be hypnotized when you hear it.
With this person's ordinary appearance and figure, inconspicuous clothing and decoration, etiquette at a glance, and restrained and shrunken temperament, it is really mediocre. If you don't inherit the family business of your ancestors, you can't even recognize it on the street.
However, on the other hand, such a person, who always adopts the most conservative attitude and always adheres to the principle of "who supports whom in the central government", is really likely to preserve the family business for a long time.
Because no matter who is the guardian of this Izumi, or the guardian generation, he is the most assured.
And the second speaker Manabe was a little smarter, and his opening remarks were:
"Knowing that you were coming to Izumi, the villain was worried for a while. But when I asked my relatives about your deeds, I was overjoyed! can say a few words in front of the unequaled general, and the villain is enough to brag outside for a lifetime! ”
Although it is also a meaningless whisker touting, this idea is slightly higher. Heite Honshu spread all over the world in the name of wisdom, so Manabe Goro Saemon chose this most proud place to flatter.
Thousands of wears, but sycophants don't wear. Of course, it's annoying to listen to too many similar words, but it's still very refreshing to listen to them every once in a while.
This guy looked very young, not very good-looking, and had a simple coat and hat, but his body was very clean, free of dust and wrinkles, which was better than any other person of the same status. Among the people of Hequan Country, he is the only one who can come to the stage.
So Fan Xiu showed a little more enthusiasm for this person, and when he smiled, the corners of his mouth were a little higher. Of course, whether the other party can find out depends on his personal observation.
As for the Awawa Shinbei, it may be that the business has been done too much, and no matter how you look at it, it has a taste of a mixture of pirates and merchants, and it is not quite like a samurai. His appearance can be called ugly, and although his clothes are good, he is even more funny with his short figure, and this honor is obviously the worst in the room. But his statement was very to the point.
"There are six ships in the Awawa family, seventeen ships in Kobayakawa, and two hundred and eighty sailors, and they can serve you at any time!"
Fan Xiu had secretly sent someone to contact him before to understand these numbers, but he still said it in person to emphasize. After all, the coastline of Izumi is very long, and the Hirate family does not have a direct water army, so Tamawa seized these strengths of his own family as a propaganda point.
There are many Chinese people in the domestic territory of Hequan who are close to the sea, and most of them have a few boats and dozens of sailors, but they are far inferior to the Danlun family.
According to the prediction, Hirate Hasuhide would organize the ships of the people together to form a naval army, and Awawa Shinbei thought that the position of the general of the naval army belonged to him.
If he knew what Fan Xiu really thought in his heart, he would definitely be disappointed.
Talking to these three people one by one, the communication process is dull and normal.
But as soon as Dr. Yasuda opened his mouth, the atmosphere was completely wrong.
His exact words were: "In the past, there were some people and cowards in Hequan, but now some people are discussing how to evade and delay the service and taxes you have set!" Miyoshi Changqing, who rules this place, is not a good thing either! Not to mention acting officials such as Ten Rivers and One Cun, Miyoshi Kangchang. Of course, with the Tie Supervisor here, they can't be a climate! There is another Matsuura Sungoro, and the villain is still willing to be the pioneer and cut off his head for you! ”
These words made the faces of the other three Chinese flag leaders change.
It took a while for even Tsusho to slowly understand what he meant.
First of all, this sentence of "Diao people and cowards" scolded all the people of the wealthy country, including those here. Let's not talk about whether his evaluation is reasonable or not, but it must have offended everyone.
Besides, this bluntly said that "there are already people discussing how to evade and delay the service tax", which is of course very true, and Tieshou Bunshu also knows it. But why do you have to say it explicitly?
In the end, he scolded Miyoshi Changqing and his subordinate Izumi officials, which was surprising.
Since taking office, he has talked with many retainers or affiliated wealthy families of the old Miyoshi regime, and has also learned some internal contradictions in the Miyoshi family. Some of these remnants are dissatisfied with the abuse of power by the three people, some are extremely despised by Song Yongxiu, and some even look down on the three good righteous successors. But no one has ever had any negative evaluation of Miyoshi Changqing, at most he said vaguely that after he was old and faint, he was not as wise as before!
This is also a very normal thing. If Miyoshi Changqing did not have extraordinary popularity, it would be impossible for him to become the overlord of from an orphan under the knife in 20 years. Although he has been gone for several years, the influence he left behind will not dissipate anytime soon.
People who have a good impression of the three good families still can't help but have tears in their eyes when they talk about "Changqing Gong", saying that if he is an old man, why would I be a good junior. The enemy will also feel emotional, and regard him as a respectable opponent.
Take a step back, even if you don't think so, you won't openly go against public opinion. After all, there are a large number of people who "abandon the darkness and turn to the light" (such as Yamato Matsunaga, Settsu Ikeda, Itami, Kaimachi Ichigan businessman, etc.), who used to follow that gangster. The Imperial Court and the Shogunate also recognized its status before. If you completely deny the three good families, wouldn't you also deny the past careers of all the above people?
But this Dr. Terada is definitely not stunned.
Fan Xiu thought about it carefully, but felt that he might be the person who understood Hequan best.
Perhaps, only this person can see that Pingshou Fanxiu intends to carry out the "separation of Shi Nong" and gradually wipe out the stratum of the Chinese people.
Generally, when the daimyo chooses the flag head of the country, he will find a reliable, powerful, and well-connected loyal elder who will act as a buffer between the center and the lower class, and between the new and the old.
According to this line of thinking, Dr. Terada's identity as a "Izumi traitor" is a bit embarrassing. The locals may not like Matsuura, but they won't like Terada who betrayed Matsuura.
However, this guy is now bent on emphasizing his own severance with the old forces and the natives, and does not hesitate to attract the hatred of all the other people. In this way, it will be difficult for Terada to play a role in the position of the head of the flag of the country.
If things change again in the future, and Heide Hoshu is driven out of Izumi Province, Dr. Terada Yasuda may not be able to stay in the local area, unless he becomes a traitor again and makes similar contributions. But a tie is clearly unlikely to give him that chance.
However, cutting off his own back road like this made Fan Xiu feel that he could consider reusing this person, instead of just being a specimen of a thousand gold bones.
