Chapter 352: Okuyu Shizhi
Just after Kakizaki Keike pacified the three counties of Hebei, Ishikawa, and Nomi in Kaga Province, Takeda Shingen, who was in Suruga Sunfu Castle, also learned about it. On the one hand, he quickly ordered the retainers stationed in Hida, such as Ichijo Nobunuryu (brother of Takeda Shingen) and Kohata Masamori, to take the initiative to join the Kaga Shoshiro Mibayashi, Suzuki Taro, Shimoyama Tsushimamoru, Mitsubashi Lord Taxusuke, Ushida Kotaro, Okushino Mamoru, Takahashi Shinzaemon, Hasegawa Kanshichiro, Kubota Daikaisuke, Arakawa Ichisuke, Kishida Lordui, Kawabane Saemon Jiro and other Kaga Ichikashi generals who had taken the initiative to defect to Kaga Shokashi, and let Ichizo Nobu Ryu serve as the banner leader of Kaga Shokashi. They also did a good job of defending Kaga and Vietnam, fearing that Kakizaki Keike would send troops to attack the Naka missiles from Kaga and Kitakuda at the same time.
The generals of Higashimino were also asked by Takeda Shingen to quickly transport a large amount of grain and grass to the missile, and make preparations for the long-term defense of the cage city.
At the same time, in the Suruga Sunfu Castle Honmaru Daihiroma, Takeda Shingen urgently summoned Yamamoto Kansuke to Sunfu Castle to discuss.
"See Lord Lord, what is the matter with urgently summoning the ministers back to Junzhou?" Yamamoto Kansuke was puzzled by this, and the current situation in Xiangshu was also deteriorating day by day, and the people of Xiangzhou could hardly form an effective blow to the DPRK, but even the powerful military generals of the Uesugi family, who occupied important towns in various parts of Xiangshu, could not defeat them.
"The Uesugi family has already conquered California. Hebei County, Ishikawa County, and Nomi County in California were successively attacked by Kakizaki and Izumi Mamoru, and Enuma County was also captured by the Asakura family while the fire was looting. Now the family's powerful ally, California, has been beaten to pieces by the Uesugi army, and the remnants have fled to Feizhou. California General Shichiri Lai Zhou also took refuge in the Uesugi family." Takeda Shingen said slowly after a long sigh.
"What?! California has always been deeply rooted in California, there are even more temples around the country, and there are so many believers in the territory, how could it be defeated by the Uesugi army so quickly and seize more than half of the territory of California?! Yamamoto Kansuke could hardly believe his ears, in his eyes, California has always been a great headache for the surrounding daimyos, whether it is the Asakura family, the Shosaku Hatakeyama family, the Jimbo family, the Fuchu Nagao family, etc., they cannot effectively deal a fatal blow to it.
"However, it has become a fact that most of California is occupied by the Uesugi family. Moreover, California is rich in gold, sulfur, and soot, and I am afraid that the Uesugi family will no longer be short of raw materials for iron cannons in the future. Takeda Shingen was very worried about this.
"If this continues, it is very likely that the Uesugi family will follow the example of the Rising Sun General Kiso Yoshinakako------ send troops from Hokuriku Province to Kamiraku!" Kansuke Yamamoto thought directly of Kiso Yoshinaka, who had succeeded in occupying the Gyeonggi area from Hokuriku Province and Kanraku.
"At present, the Asakura Saemon Governor's Palace has given his daughter to Kenshin as an adopted daughter, and has become attached to Yamaura Kunikiyo, the son of Murasho's defense who inherited the branch of the Echigo Uesugi family, and the Asakura family is currently focused on conquering Wakasa Province, and even the important ministers of the family under his command do not want to be enemies of the Uesugi family. Nowadays, as far as the whole of the Eastern Kingdom can see, there are no powerful daimyo other than the main family that is an enemy of the Uesugi family. "Takeda Shingen already felt that if he continued to be an enemy of the Uesugi family, his dream of going to Luo would be far away.
"Lord Lord, in fact, the Uesugi family's main strategy direction is the Kanto and Tohoku Okuwa regions, as long as the family does not take the initiative to make enemies with the Uesugi family, according to the temper of humble faith, they will not take the initiative to attack the family. Rather than losing the battle between the family and the Uesugi family, it is better to find a suitable time to negotiate an alliance with the Uesugi family. In this way, the main family will be able to travel along the Tokaido. Kansuke Yamamoto seemed to see through Takeda Shingen's thoughts, and directly said the unexpected strategy.
"What?! Kansuke, you just said that you want the Honjia to form an alliance with the Uesugi family?! Takeda Shingen looked at him in surprise after listening to Kansuke Yamamoto's words.
"Not bad. The only way to do this is now, if you continue to fight with the Uesugi family, it will only consume the family's financial, manpower, and national strength. The territory of the Uesugi family was several times that of the main family, and Daisuke Imagawa Jibe was established as the prince of Kanto, and most of the generals of the eastern country were subordinate. After a long time, there is no possibility of victory for this family, and neither of them is a dark master! Kansuke Yamamoto said with a nod.
"This matter will be put aside for the time being, and the family will focus on how to seize Xiangzhou first." At the moment, Takeda Shingen just wants to weaken the strength of the Uesugi family as much as possible step by step, and then find a way to go to Luo.
"The minister understood, and the minister immediately returned to Xiangzhou." Kansuke Yamamoto saw that Shingen Takeda did not want to take his advice, so he retired.
On April 20, upon his arrival at Aizu Wakamatsu Castle, he immediately summoned all the daimyo from all over the Tohoku region to Aizu Wakamatsu Castle. Among the daimyos who came were the Soma family, the Tamura family, the Mogami family, the Utsunomiya family, the Iwaki family, the Onodera family, the Tozawa family, the Andong family, and the Takasuiji Shiba family, but the only ones who did not show up were the northern part of the country, Michinoku Province.
Subsequently, Asadachi personally intervened in the situation in Kitadewa, and under his mediation, the Andong family and the Tozawa family made a truce. At the same time, Asadachi also began to prepare for the separation of the three powerful national lords of the Oi clan, the Rokugo clan, and the Salmon Yan clan, from the Onodera family. Because Asadaku doesn't want the Onodera family that occupies Kitadewa to become bigger and bigger, otherwise sooner or later it will become a big problem for the Uesugi family.
Less than ten days after the success of the court and the armistice between the Anto and Tozawa clans, the Okuwa Shizhi was issued and all the daimyos' territories were replanned.
Shizhi not only refers to the military measures of building cities and troops in the occupied territories, but also includes some political measures to dominate the conquered territories. As the Uesugi family deepens its system of domination over the entire eastern country, Shizhi is also proceeding in all directions.
Among the main contents of Okuba Shizhi, in addition to the redistribution of the territories of each daimyo family, there are also policies such as land seizure, sword hunting, and castle destruction. And for different regions, there are also different councils that are responsible. At the same time, the court ordered the wives and children of the daimyo of the two countries of Tohoku Ou to go to Kawagoe Castle and live in their mansions outside Kawagoe Castle for a long time.
The land inspection rules were issued to the person in charge of the affairs of each region, and the fields were divided into three classes, upper, middle and lower, and marked with the doudai (i.e., the annual tribute high), and the mountain hata, the mansion, the hemp hat, and the lacquered wood were also converted into adult tribute, and the area of the first section of the field (i.e., a reversal, for the unit of area, and a section of about 991 square meters) was determined to be a rectangle of five rooms (the room is a unit of length, one was about 1.818 meters) multiplied by sixty houses, and the land inspection was carried out in each village based on this.
However, because it takes one or two days to carry out land inspection in a village, which is very time-consuming, the so-called method of indicating land inspection is also adopted, in which the village declares its land inspection situation and the land inspection personnel review and confirm. In addition, the parameters of the inspected land are not recorded in detail in the aggregated land inspection account, and it seems that only an estimate of the area of land is almost the same, and there are even cases where the height is still used to measure. Therefore, there is still a certain deviation in the actual operation process of the land inspection method required by the court. The implementation of land inspection is mainly to understand the new stone height,
Through the land inspection, at least the Uesugi family had a superficial understanding of the situation in the village of Ishitaka in most of the Okuba and foreign countries. Although there have been attempts by daimyo in the past, such as the Date family, which once compiled the "Date Collar Duan Qian Ancient Book", this type of inspection style is more regional and limited. However, the land inspection that was carried out in the two countries during the early three years of Eiroku was a landmark measure because it covered a large area and adopted the same land inspection standards. Through land seizure, not only did they greatly increase the income of the daimyo and their annual tribute, but they also achieved the goal of reducing the knowledge and action of their retainers.
In addition to land seizure, the second policy is knife hunting. The Uesugi family's policy was that the people in the territory were forbidden to possess weapons such as knives, guns, bows, and cannons. In the process of Ou Shizhi, it was actually the confiscation of weapons held by most of the people in the Shizhi area. But not to mention the depth of implementation of the so-called sword hunting policy, and whether it is really possible to confiscate all the weapons held by the people, the most important purpose of the implementation of sword hunting is more than one: confiscation of weapons is a way to quickly disarm the people and prevent them from launching a riot; Another purpose was to delineate and distinguish the class identities of samurai and lords by whether or not they could bear arms. If we look at it from a consequentialist point of view, it seems that the sword hunt has a role in both of the above points.
