Chapter 81: Separation of powers
Tsukahara Molong looked at everyone's complicated gazes, showed a weird smile again, and continued: "Sakai Toshifang, in the Battle of the Black Dragon River, it was also a battle to the death in the Battle of Guofutai, so he sealed 25,000 stones, and the old man of the family!" Sakai Minfang's body trembled when he heard this, and he hurriedly thanked him. Strict neutrality is just Tsukahara Molong to give himself face, in fact, he did not surrender according to Tsukahara Molong's letter of persuasion to surrender at all, out of concern about the post-war disposal, he fought to the death in Guofutai, but Tsukahara Molong pointed out his performance in the battle of Heilongchuan, 25,000 stone is already a very generous treatment.
However, this is the case under the command of Tsukahara Moryu, in that era, whether it was the Takeda family, the Uesugi family, or the Imagawa family, it was enough to have tens of thousands of stones, and this kind of direct sealing of 25,000 stones was still very rare. Of course, this is also related to the fact that Tsukahara Molong has now scattered the corpses of the wealthy families of the Three Kingdoms, creating a huge power vacuum, and there will be no such good treatment in the future.
Tsukahara Molong spoke again: "Kato Duanzo, since following the family, he has been fighting in various places, making great contributions to the family, sealing the territory of 10,000 stones, serving as the leader of the royal ninjas of the family, and the general of the collar department!" "Everyone lost their minds again when they heard this, the ninja is a walker in the dark, and the social status is low, Tsukahara Molong actually appointed a ninja as a general, and also gave a fief of ten thousand stones, this is simply an unbelievable thing! And he announced it in a high-profile manner in front of tens of thousands of people, for fear that others would not know that he was the leader of the ninjas, how could he go out to spy on intelligence in the future?
Just when everyone was thinking wildly, a person suddenly rose up from the corpses of those who were beheaded, and said loudly: "Thank you, lord!" Everyone looked at Kato Duanzang, who was covered in blood and completely mixed with the corpse, and couldn't help but take a breath, such a hidden ninjutsu is indeed unguardable. In fact, in the two wars of Black Dragon River and Kokufutai, ninjas played a very big role, of course, it was not like in the movie to kill one person in ten steps, there is an unpredictable ability of ghosts and gods, and it is impossible to be a guy in Naruto who destroyed half the world with ninjutsu, but in terms of spying on intelligence and covering the dispatch of the army, Kato Duanzo cooperated with the Ninjas of Iga and Kii Kingdoms, and made great contributions to the Tsukahara Army. Tsukahara Moryū, who knows the importance of intelligence, did not hesitate to reward Kato Duanzang, on the one hand, he knows Kato Duanzang's character very well, if he asks him to hide in the dark all his life, he will do it, but he will definitely be unwilling in his heart, on the contrary, he will be very satisfied with such a grand praise for him, on the other hand, Tsukahara Molong does not intend to hand over all ninja affairs to Kato Duanzang, and the training of the battle ninja and the eye will be handed over to Kato Duanzang, but there are other special people in charge of intelligence collection. At the same time, Tsukahara Molong is also a move to buy horse bones, and when all the princes look down on ninjas but have to use ninjas, he suddenly shows great respect and importance to ninjas, which is bound to make those ninjas whose self-esteem is frustrated but have unique skills flock to him. Besides, even ninjas can bestow a fiefdom of ten thousand stones, not to mention talents from all over the world, and ronins from all over the world will flock to it.
Tsukahara Molong continued: "Zhou Dashuai, first released water in the Black Dragon River to help our army achieve great achievements, and then led the army to fight twice as many enemies in Guofutai, and after being attacked by the Hojo Army at night, he turned the tide, and finally killed Kasahara Yasukatsu, sealed 10,000 stone territory, and led the generals!" If I am not in the army, I can act as the commander-in-chief! Sasaki Nagahide, Black Dragon River killed Masaki Shigeru in the first battle, the national capital and Taiwan battle, frustrated the spirit of the Hojo Army, and fought hard to kill after being attacked by the night, and drove the Hojo Army out of the camp several times, sealed the territory of 10,000 stones, and the general of the collar department! These two people are the sun and moon double dragon generals of the family, and they can participate in the old meeting of the family! Tsukahara Moryū's words were amazing, and he directly promoted Zhou Dashuai and Sasaki Nagahide to be generals, and even gave the two the right to participate in the meeting of the elders, which is equivalent to exercising the rights of the elders with the hat of the generals. What's even more astonishing is that Tsukahara Molong actually granted Zhou Dashuai the right to control the whole army, which is simply unimaginable in the era when Xia Ke is extremely prevalent, but it also shows Tsukahara Molong's absolute trust in him. In fact, if it weren't for Sasaki Nagahide's talent for commanding the army, he would have had this right. Tsukahara Moryū, whose relatives are withering, trusts his brothers who travel around Japan with him, although it is not easy to promote them directly to the elder of the family, but in terms of real power, they are no younger than the elder of the family.
However, Zhou Dashuai and Sasaki Nagahide were both seriously injured, so they were still recuperating and did not come to participate in this reward meeting, so they could not accept it in person. However, Tsukahara Molong didn't care much about it, and continued to speak: "Tsukahara Changqing, who led the army to fight to the death with the Satomi family in the Black Dragon River, also performed well in the first battle of Guofutai, so he was awarded 7,000 stones, and he was a general!" Inuyo Yoshio, led the army to fight hard in the Black Dragon River, the first battle of Guofutai, and even killed Hojo Tsunataka, sealed 5,000 stones, and led the generals! "For Tsukahara Senbei, Tsukahara Molong hasn't made much arrangements yet, because Tsukahara Senbei is indeed too young at the moment, not as mature as Tsukahara Changqing, and he doesn't have any achievements that are too good, so he will stay by his side for the time being and wait until the future to entrust him with important tasks.
The next reward is even more cumbersome, but no one present is bored, because Tsukahara Molong is a small work must be remembered, every inch of work must be rewarded, and when all the rewards are completed, almost everyone has their own fiefdom and samurai identity, although most of the fiefs are very few, but it still makes many soldiers from a slightly cold background cry with joy. However, they also know that this is because Tsukahara Molong has weakened the wealthy clans of the Three Kingdoms too hard, leaving too many ownerless territories, and it is easy to wait until the future to want a reward, but it is very difficult to want a fief. Anyway, it's a good start, isn't it?
However, Tsukahara Molong is well aware of the advantages and disadvantages of the sub-feudal system, as long as there is a sub-feud, there will inevitably be a division of princes, which has been proven countless times in China for 5,000 years, so Tsukahara Molong will never lift a stone to shoot himself in the foot. But in this era, fiefdoms are the lifeblood of too many people, and the only result of the direct abolition of the sub-feudal system must be that Tsukahara Moryū was hacked to death by angry subordinates. But Tsukahara Molong has already had a solution: the separation of ownership and management! In other words, the territory is still your territory, there is no doubt about that, but if you want to have more fiefdoms, you must have better combat skills, and you must undergo rigorous military training, so that you will have little energy to manage your fiefdoms anymore. But the fiefdom could not just be left barren, but small pieces of fiefdom were also very difficult to manage, so they simply managed everyone's land centrally, and when the harvest season came, the grain was distributed to the landowners. In this way, it not only avoided the situation that a small piece of land had low yield due to various reasons, which made the samurai's life difficult, but also successfully separated the samurai from the land and concentrated on practicing martial arts. The annual harvest is distributed according to the sum of the reward and the original fiefdom income, and as for those who underreported their income when they first reported themselves, they found a corner and cried, I believe you so much, let you write your own income, you dare to lie to me? Didn't say it, confiscate all fiefdoms!
Although those wealthy families looked at each other and smiled bitterly after hearing Tsukahara Molong's decree, they really didn't have the courage to resist, not to mention that Tsukahara Molong did his best to be benevolent and righteous, at least on the surface, that is, now they are seriously injured, and they have no recovery at all, and they have no ability to resist, so they have to silently accept Tsukahara Molong's order. This order was given a very strange name by Tsukahara Moryū: "American Ryukyu Ordinance". The Japanese at that time did not know what this meant, but in fact, the United States in later generations used this method to return the sovereignty of the Ryukyus to the bald government at that time, but the management rights were given to Japan, so that the Chinese people are still fighting with the Japanese for these things, while the United States is detached and proudly watching the two countries quarrel at the bottom of the pit he dug.
