Chapter 100: The Division of the Imperial Material
Kano Hideji's transfer also has a price, although Kano Hideji is the flag of the dragon girl, but it was transferred to the Kanto Upper Chamber, then it became the seat of the court, and in the future, it will be directly obeyed by the court.
In fact, even if the Uesugi family gave Suruga Province to Takeda Shingen, the Takeda family was still unwilling to make friends with the Uesugi family. And the start of Suruga Province means that Takeda Shingen has relieved the mountain of survival pressure on the retainers of the Spectrum Dynasty, and no one will threaten the authority of Takeda Shingen, as for the samurai and Lang who died under the Uesugi Army and the Nagao Army, they are gradually forgotten by the people of the Takeda family, and the Takeda family will not fall into chaos and collapse because of the death of these people.
But the Hojo family is different, the Hojo clan was originally an outsider, and due to the retainers, samurai, and Lang Dang Ashigaru who had been damaged after the war with foreign countries, they had already suffered heavy losses. Coupled with the defeat of some important battles, it has caused difficulties for the survival of the Later Hojo clan and a shortage of military spending. Although the Izu Navy lived up to the expectations of the Hojo family, it was difficult to reverse the overall defeat with a unilateral victory.
And because of the defeat of the Okamoto navy, they hid directly in the port of Kawasaki Castle of the Uesugi family, so that the Izu navy did not dare to disobey the orders of the Hojo clan, if they provoked the Uesugi family at this moment, although the Izu navy would not be completely defeated, but the Hojo family would suffer, and if the main family suffered, Shimizu Yasuei did not want to see it. What's more, the Hojo family currently only has more than 400,000 stone heights, and they don't have enough strength to cause the next war.
After discussing with Satomi Yoshihiro, he ordered Okamoto Yasusu and others to temporarily come under the jurisdiction of the Uesugi family, accept the reorganization and supply of the Uesugi family, and so on. At this moment, the Satomi family no longer has the ability to raise a naval army, and even the maintenance of war horses and iron cannons is already very laborious.
However, in order to get closer to the shogunate, Asada's Akechi Mitsuhide, who was still in Shimono, went to the Yamashiro Kunijo Imperial Palace to serve as a liaison officer with the Uesugi family, and by the way, he also had to help the shogun's family ask for control of the Miyoshi family. In addition, what the court needs now is the guardian of Shimosogunku and Ueno Province, and if possible, Ashikaga Yoshiteru and the imperial court will unite to separate the nine counties of the Eizu region from the Mutsu Province and form a Shiwai Province (Aizu-gun, Ada-gun, Azumi-gun, Iwase-gun, Onuma-gun, Kawanuma-gun, Nobuo-gun, Date gun, and Yama-gun). Of course, Akechi Mitsuhide didn't have to do these jobs when he went to Yamashiro Province. He also needs to look for talent in the vicinity of Omi Province and Yamashiro Province.
As a descendant of Genji, Akechi Mitsuhide was naturally happy to take on this job, and he entrusted the affairs of the domain to his nephew Akechi Mitsutada, and asked his wife Hirotada, Ikeda Teruie, Okuda Keitsuna, Shinshi Sadaren, Yasuda Sakubei, and others to fully assist him. Akechi Mitsuhide took his other nephew, Akechi Dingming, and ten Samurai of the Akechi family on the way to Yamashiro Province.
Konoe's former heir returned to the Kanto region on October 2, as he was responsible for appointing the official positions of the retainers under the command of the Asada, as well as the appointment of the official position of 'Shogun of the Castle Prefecture' requested by the Asada.
The first thing Konoe did when he entered Kagoe Castle was to read out the list of appointments and issue official positions in Honmaru Daihiroma.
Ota Shimasa, Namba Kenji, Miyagi Masayo, Hirosawa Tadanobu, Honjo Shienaga, and Soga Yushige were six people who hurried from the territory to Kawagoe Castle as early as yesterday. They all have their share in this official appointment.
"Ota Shimasa was appointed from the fifth place to Saemonsa."
"Xie Guan Baidian!"
"Namba Tian Kenji was appointed from the five lower attendants."
"Xie Guan Baidian!"
"Miyagi Masato was appointed from the sixth place to Izu Mamoru."
"Xie Guan Baidian!"
"Guangze is faithful, and he is appointed as the chief guard from the top to the bottom."
"Xie Guan Baidian."
"Honjo is a long and long and the sixth is under Musashun."
"Xie Guan Baidian."
"I have reassigned the appointment of Sagami from the fifth place."
"Xie Guan Baidian."
"Uesugi repair doctor Asada, concurrently serving as the five generals of the Upper Town Guard."
"Xie Guan Baidian."
The money set by the court was not spent in vain, and the official positions that should be given to the court were also given to themselves and their retainers. It seems that in order to make the life of the imperial court more nourishing, the former heir of Konoe is really willing to spend effort to persuade the court inside and outside.
This time the official position was asked, and the court asked for seven official positions from the former heir of Konoe at one time. Especially the official position of the general of the town guard mansion, don't look at it only from the five positions, as long as you add a 'big' word to it, you will become the 'town guard house general', and you can also compete with the general of Zhengyi. But in a short period of time, the court will not add the word to it, and he still has to be a 'loyal minister' of the shogunate in the current wife Pingping.
The Shogun was a foreign official established by Japan from the Nara period to the Heian period, who was in charge of the defense of the northern part of Mutsu, and was called "Shogun Jinmori" or "Mutsu Shogun" in the Kojiki and Japanese Chronicles, and only the first shogun Ono Toto is described as "Shogun of Jinshofu". After the Heian period, the town office was moved away from the Mutsu Okok Prefecture, and the town office became a more independent "town guard house", so the "town guard house shogun" gradually became the fixed name.
Originally, the shogun of the town guard was about four or five officials, but later because of the weight of the position, it was regarded as the honorary position of the martial arts, so since the source of the foundation, the Genji generals from the Qing and Genji have all served as the generals of the town guard. After Minamoto Yoritomo became the shogun of Seiyi and established the samurai regime of the Kamakura shogunate, the shogun was effectively abolished, and at the end of the Kamakura period, the shogun was posthumously awarded to the deceased Nitta Yoshishige as an honorary office. After the end of the Kamakura period, the government returned to Emperor Go-Daigo, and in the new policy of Kenmu, it was planned to reinstate the shogun of the Jinshofu and replace it with the young Mutsu Mamoru Kitabatake Hideya. At the same time, at the request of Kitabatake's father, Kitabatake's in-laws, when the general of the town guard was appointed by more than three ministers, he was specially called "the general of the town guard" and placed on the same status as the general of the seiyi.
Even the Ashikaga shogunate, the first shogun of the Muromachi shogunate, Ashikaga Takaji, held the position of shogun of the town guard. This time, Konoe's former heir was able to get this position completely wasted a lot of effort, and the current Muromachi shogunate is weak, and the imperial court is also considering finding a daimyo to help the imperial court. However, the imperial court was divided into several factions, with Konoe's former heir belonging to the Uesugi faction, Nijo Harura belonging to the Oda faction, and so on.
However, since the incumbent Guanbai is biased towards the Uesugi family in Kanto and Hokuriku, his power and voice are naturally much greater. The arrival of the former heir of Konoe this time, Chaoding also did his best to entertain him. After the official appointment was completed, the court decided to let the former heir of Konoe stay in Kawagoe Castle for lunch. Moreover, all the important ministers of the Uesugi family in the Kanto region arrived, and even Akechi Mitsutada, who was stationed in Shimono instead of Akechi Mitsuhide, also came here.
"Guan Baidian, this official appointment must have made no less effort, everyone will follow me to salute the former heir." Under the guidance of the Asada, the retainers of the Uesugi family, such as Ota Shimasa and Namba Kenji, who attended the banquet, all toasted the former heir of Konoe.
"Okay, well, I understand your intentions, this time it is mainly for the repair doctor to use a lot of money to make His Majesty nod, and the official position of the general of the town guard mansion is the most difficult to obtain, and the repair doctor must be content." Since Konoe is in Kogoe Castle, there are some things that can't be said in Kyoto that can still be said here.
"Yes, Xia Guan understands. The Uesugi family has lived in the shadow of the Ashikaga family since ancient times, whether it is Furukawa Gongkata or the shogun. As a descendant of the Fujiwara clan of the Persuasion Temple, I really feel ashamed. Chao Ding could only say with a wry smile.
"The repair doctor is right, the Uesugi family is from Uesugi in Kyoto, although he once climbed to the Ashikaga family to obtain the protection of various places and the position of Kanto governor, but after all, he lives in the shadow of the Ashikaga family." Konoe's former heir also felt sympathy, although the current court days were similar. After the shogunate lost power, the imperial court could only live on the 'alms' of the daimyo in various places. The courtiers are all in high positions one by one, but their lives are not satisfactory.
"My lord is cautious, Lord Arakawa Nagasi is still drinking in the corner." Ota Shimasa walked to Asada's side and whispered, although Asada's seat was not the main seat, but the 'Arakawa Nagami' who approached the door could hear it clearly. She just didn't say a word from beginning to end.
Chaoding nodded, and asked Ota Zimasa to continue to go back and sit down to drink, while he himself took a glass of wine poured by Maori Jingguang and said while drinking: "In the world of the Warring States, the heroes rise together, compete for the world, and deceive me." ”
"Good! That's quite right! "Konoe's former heir felt that this was indeed a portrayal of the current world, and the daimyo from all over the country were fighting everywhere, although they had not yet reached the people's livelihood, but the continuous war also made the whole world unable to be peaceful. Neither the imperial power nor the shogun's power could be realized. The imperial court's imperial land was even more embezzled by wealthy families and daimyo from all over the country, resulting in the court all relying on the 'sponsorship and almsgiving' of the daimyo from all over the country.
"The former heir, the lower officials are willing to set an example, and the royal family's imperial material will be reproduced in Musashi, Ueno, Shimono, and Shimoso." Although this is the case, these imperial places will naturally not be his direct leaders, nor will they be the places of knowledge and practice of his retainers.
"Is it true?!" The former heir of Konoe had almost just choked to death, and hurriedly walked down and sat down beside Asada. As the chief of the Imperial Front, if the former heir of Konoe can use the Imperial Land for the Imperial Family, then his credit is undoubtedly undoubted, and the next Sekihaku still has a great hope of being re-elected.
"Well, that's nature. As a courtier of the court, of course, you have to share the worries of the court. Chang Xing, Jing Guang, take the map. "The court has already counted it in his heart, and naturally all the imperial material land this time is Musashi, Ueno, and Shimono, which are not subordinate to the Uesugi family, and not all of them have become imperial material land.
"First of all, 10,000 koku around Nakasano Castle in Ansu County, Shimono Province; Next is Ueno Province, Yamada-gun, 20,000 stones; 10,000 koku around Okada-gun; Finally, there is 10,000 koku in Kodama County, Musashi Province. Chao Ding's face was not red, and his heart was not beating, and he finished talking about the division of the four orders in the country.
"Wait!" As soon as the words fell, 'Arakawa Nagami' walked to the middle of Ohiroma, although she blushed a little, but it did not affect her IQ: "As far as I know, Kodama County in Musashi Province is currently in the territory of the Uesugi family of Ogigaya Uesugi Kenmori, and the area around Sano Castle in Shimono Kuniya Ansu County is still the territory of the Sano family, and even the 10,000 stone in Okada County of Shimokoku belongs to the Furukawa family. Finally, Yamada-gun of Ueno Province, Yamada County still belongs to the territory of the Yokose Yura family, and these are not the territories of the Uesugi family, how can they be given to the imperial court at will? This is all perfunctory and deceitful! ”
"How do you call it perfunctory? What is deception called? I didn't say that the former heir would ask for it himself, but I would help the imperial court claim these areas, and I don't know if it would cause a war, but in the end, these places will still become imperial food places. "The court didn't want his direct leaders and retainers to know and act less, and a large number of Echigo people still need to be transferred, so who does not want to ask for royal materials from these wealthy families and daimyos?
"You!" 'Arakawa Nagami' couldn't say a word for a long time, so he directly picked up the little bean and left Ohiroma.
"Guys, keep drinking!" Chaoding didn't have the heart to continue to care about her, and this time he came to Heyue City to bring his younger brother Xinfa Tian Gentai (Xinfa Tian Shigejia) and made him his own surname.
"Repair doctor, will those wealthy families and daimyo agree in this case?" Konoe's former heir was originally happy, but now he is a little worried after listening to the opinions of 'Arakawa Nagami'.
"It's okay, since the lower official has agreed, then it will definitely be completed. At that time, only the imperial court needs to send an acting official to govern it, and the rest of the affairs will be fully responsible for the lower officials. "Asadaki is mentally prepared to be surrounded, as long as the Sano family, Yokose Yura family, and Fukaya Uesugi family raise troops this time, and other wealthy families and daimyo are involved, their strategic intention of 'one spoonful of stew' will be achieved. After the start of the war, it was the best time to unify Musashi, Shimoso, and Ueno.
In the end, once the Hojo clan finds out that he has a chance to defeat the Uesugi family, he will definitely get in touch with these daimyo and wealthy families, and as long as the Hojo family makes a move, Sagami and Anbo will become within the range of the Uesugi family. This is also what Chaoding wants to see.
