Chapter 187: Moving the capital to Edo
After sending away Taiyuan Yukisai and Imagawa Shin, the Ashikaga Moryū ordered the guards to open the paper door on the side, and Takeda Yoshinobu sat in it with a complicated face, he respectfully came to Ashikaga Moryū, and after giving a salute, he asked worriedly: "Teacher, is it inevitable that the conflict between the Takeda family and the teacher?" ”
Ashikaga Molong touched Takeda Yoshinobu's head with some doting, compared to Imagawa Shin, a disciple who prefers to be named, Takeda Yoshinobu really got his swordsmanship guidance, so his feelings for Takeda Yoshinobu are obviously deeper. "Your father is a generation of heroes, but he can't touch my bottom line, otherwise he will have to pay the price, this time he dared to make a move on Tiger Chiyo, I didn't attack Kai is already very restrained."
"But I still hope that the Takeda family can be in harmony with the teacher! Even if...... Even if you want me to apologize! Yoshinobu Takeda said firmly, his young eyes shining in the candlelight.
Ashikaga Molong looked at it for a moment and said, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have slaughtered a city of the eighth prince, but a country of Kai." The purpose of this attempt is to separate the Imagawa family from the Imagawa family in Sunto and Fuji in Suruga Province, so that your father will have no choice but to use troops against Mino and Missile, otherwise he will be caught in the middle of a three-sided attack. In this way, I can avoid conflict with him. Just ......"
"Just what?" Yoshinobu Takeda just saw hope and hurriedly asked.
"It's just that I'm worried that your father is still not giving up, now that I am sitting in the land of the Nine Kingdoms, if he allows me to digest it, the ownership of the world will no longer have anything to do with the Takeda family, so I expect that he will use troops against the Kanto region soon."
"As long as the disciple is alive, the Takeda family will never face the teacher with swords, otherwise I am willing to apologize! Swear in the name of Hachiman Damyojin! Yoshinobu Takeda said categorically.
Ashikaga Molong smiled and patted Takeda Yoshinobu's face, "Okay, for the sake of the teacher, believe in you, go back, and tell your father my decision." ”
The next day, the small gold city that had received the envoys from all sides was more lively than yesterday, because at this time it was involved that the Ashikaga family was rewarded internally, and the total strength of the Ashikaga army had swelled to nearly 80,000 Ashikaga troops now had hundreds of generals, and the already crowded little gold city was going to be crowded this time, but everyone was full of hope, secretly thinking about how many rewards they could get after the Ashikaga family achieved hegemony, especially this time Ashikaga Molong unified the Kanto region, and it was only a matter of time before Shangluo entered the world. If Ashikaga Molong can reopen, then these people will all be ministers of the dragon!
After going through the procedural slaughter of the traitors, the surviving samurai all had their eyes lit up and pricked up their ears to hear their reward.
Looking at the retainers in front of him, Ashikaga Molong couldn't help but think of when he started his army, it can be said that there were three or two big cats and kittens, and the most capable of fighting was only Tsukahara Nagakei, of course, now he also follows his surname Ashikaga, but in three years, he really took the land of Kanto, and the past is really like a dream. "You don't dare to say it, but you don't want to listen to some nonsense, so let's get straight to what you care about the most! Sanada Nobutsuna! ”
"Hah!" Sanada Nobutsuna, who was at the end of the seat, immediately got up and came to the aisle.
"In Sanada Castle, he faced the enemy with outnumbered soldiers, restrained the main force of the Hojo Army, made great contributions to his family, sealed ten thousand stones, and was a general!"
"Thank you, lord!" Sanada Nobutsuna shouted excitedly, although he was a little straighter, but he was not stupid, what is the core circle of the Ashikaga family? Ten thousand stone generals! Stepping into this circle, he can really be called a core member, but what he didn't expect is that his father Sanada Yutaka broke his leg for the Takeda family, and now he has only gotten 8,000 stone Yuroku, and he has 10,000 stone Yulu as soon as he comes up, what kind of impact will this have on the Takeda family, especially the North Shinano clan that has just been captured.
"Ota Shimasa!"
"Hah!" As an old and important minister, Ota Shimasa naturally doesn't have to run around like Sanada Nobutsuna.
"Abandoning Edo Castle and then recapturing it created conditions for the family to surround the main force of the Hojo Army, seal Mangoku, and transfer it to Kambara-jo Castle!"
Kambara-jo? When everyone heard this, wasn't that the fortress of Suruga Province? Thinking of yesterday's Taiyuan Yukisai with the Imagawa clan to seek the support of Ashikaga Molong, he immediately understood that Ota Zimasa had no opinion, with his merits, it was actually not enough to seal Wanshi, this is just compensation for his transfer. "Thank you, lord!"
"Nagano Yoshimasa!"
"Hah!" Nagano is not in good spirits, after all, he was imprisoned by Uesugi Kenmasa before and was released not long ago.
"Seal 30,000 stones, old family!"
"Thank you, lord!"
"Kohata Kenshige!"
"Hah!"
"Seal 30,000 stones, old family!"
"Thank you, lord!"
"Hojo Tsunari!"
"In ......" when it was Hojo Tsunari's turn, Hojo Tsunari was obviously much more decadent.
"Seal 30,000 stones, old family!"
"This ......" Hojo Tsunari heard this, not only him, it can be said that the people in the entire assessment room did not expect Hojo Tsunari to get such a high treatment, after all, when he was in the Hojo family before, his territory was only 24,000 stones, and Sagami Province was 190,000 stones, and Hojo Shikang couldn't give much even if he wanted to. Ashikaga Molong directly gave a salary of 30,000 stones and the treatment of the elderly, which can be said to be very generous, originally because of Ashikaga Molong's compulsion and has been decadent Hojo Tsunari, who actually had the urge to die as a confidant, but he concealed this feeling very well, but the spiritual temperament of the whole person is completely different from the previous appearance that looks sick and crooked. "Thank you, lord!"
……
After sealing a large number of people in the follow-up, Ashikaga Molong finally fed his subordinates, and the next thing is to ask these subordinates to satisfy Ashikaga Molong. The expansion of the 50 standing army to 100 standing troops brought the standing army that could be called upon by Ashikaga Moryū to 50,000 men, which was not a high proportion for the Ashikaga family, who had 3 million koku. But it's another matter if Ashikaga Molong wants to go to Luo in the future, and the lengthening of the attack range will greatly drag down logistics. If you open the history book, you will understand that the Celestial Empire is playing a civil war, and it can easily pull out hundreds of thousands of people to fight, but in foreign wars, 100,000 people are almost up to the sky, and the reason for this is still logistical pressure. The most famous Emperor Yang Guangda, from his father received the world that can be called a prosperous era, although many people in later generations took the Grand Canal to black him, but this is really not to blame people, the real defeat of the Sui Dynasty is the conquest of Goguryeo. It was not necessary to use 100,000 people to solve the problem, but it was necessary to pull 300,000 people, and the logistical pressure directly dragged the country down. Ashikaga Molong himself estimated the attack distance, and estimated that the 50,000 Shangluo expedition may be his limit, and the system he implemented himself may not matter to the small and medium-sized wealthy clans, but it is unacceptable to the dominant wealthy clans, if they refuse to go out of the city and resist stubbornly, once the war reaches a tug-of-war, they will not be able to hold on. In history, Toyotomi Hideyoshi dared to send 100,000 people to conquer the dynasty and Xian, and the game was to feed the war with war, and rely on looting the bangzi to relieve the logistical pressure, but the result was that the officers and soldiers of the dynasty and Xian were about to collapse at the touch of a button, but it was the people at the bottom and the local wealthy clans who desperately resisted in order to defend their property, and they dragged it to the rescue of the Ming Dynasty.
If Ashikaga Molong wants to take over the world, of course, he can't play in to raise war by war, not only can he not use war to raise war, but he also has to show that he has strict military discipline and no offense in autumn, like countless careerists in history, so as to pacify, the most densely populated and economically prosperous region at present.
"The next item on the agenda is that the family will move the castle to Edo Castle, where the castle tower is bigger, so you don't have to crowd people like you do now." Ashikaga Molong joked with a smile, and in the midst of everyone's laughter, the matter of moving the city was decided. Moving to the city is a difficult thing to deal with in any other force, especially how to deal with the entanglement of the samurai clan in the place where he started, but the old foundation of Ashikaga Molong is the swordsmen of the dojo, and among the samurai, it is even more prestige of the god of war, and the heroes of the lower country have no ability to restrain Ashikaga Molong at all. Historically, the Tokugawa shogunate also moved the main castle to Edo Castle, creating a world for 200 years. Even after the Shogunate Movement and World War II, Edo's position as the political and economic center of the entire Nippon-Honto remained unshaken, and in 1868 it was renamed Tokyo.
