"Kyoto...... ...... World, I'm finally back! "I rode my horse and marched slowly through the procession, my face calm, but my heart was almost about to explode.

Although when I left half a year ago, I was already called "the people of the world" by some people, but at that time, it was mostly a compliment, and a third of the country did not obey the order! It's different now, and everyone in Japan, whether it's true or not, is genuinely afraid of me.

Officially, the Cheongju Conference was another meeting of unity, a meeting of victory, and a conference of cross-era historical significance, and such a conference may not necessarily be once even in a thousand years, and only when there is an unprecedented saint in the world, such a grand event will be opened!

When I first heard these words, I blushed a little, but after each of the nearly 400 big names in the meeting said this to me, I actually liked it so much, and then gladly accepted it. It seems that no matter how ridiculous things are, they can become the truth of consciousness, as long as everyone says this and so to you.

I kept reminding myself in my heart that it would be confusing to hear too many of these words, but I am also an ordinary person, and I also like to listen to compliments. In order to prevent confusion that may occur in the future, it is better to set some things in advance.

Several major changes were announced at the Cheongju meeting, and there was no violent backlash, and the response was even quite good. But that's perfectly normal, and I've thought it through beforehand. Even if it is suppressed in some way, the parties concerned may still feel that they have taken advantage of a big advantage, or at least they cannot take a risk.

For example, the 72,000 stone of Kobayakawa Takakei is a relief for the Maori family, which has just been severely weakened, but this distance is really a bit ...... Although Nagato and Izu are not the two poles of the earth, such a long distance is enough to force Kobayakawa Takakei to be excluded from all the core affairs of the Mori family, and it is okay to say that one year or two years, but what about ten or twenty years later? What about a generation later? This is my plan, the Maori family will only have Yoshikawa, a major minister, and I can imagine the future results, with Yoshikawa's fierce and powerful approach, it is impossible not to have conflicts and disagreements with the main family over time.

The next thing to talk about is Satake Yoshishige, this time he first watched and then took advantage of the fire to rob, by the time the war subsided, he had already seized more than 1.2 million stones, before the Satake family was worthy of having more than 500,000 stones in Hitachi. Although the only great name that Kanto explicitly supports me is worthy of praise, I must not condone such behavior.

At the beginning of the Cheongju Conference, I praised Satake Yoshishige as a model of loyalty to the imperial court, and after the atmosphere reached a small climax, I announced that the Satake family had moved south, and that the total territory had increased to 670,000 koku. In addition, it will be grandly launched: as soon as he returns to Kyoto, he will show to the imperial court and ask Satake Yoshirei to take up the post of governor of the Kanto region! Although everyone knows what is going on, after all, I am not a righteous general of Zhengyi now.

In terms of area, the land has indeed increased by more than fifty percent, and even the most irrational person would not think that he would give him all the territory he occupied, but those who know that land can easily compare the difference.

Hitachi Province has not only iron ore but also small silver mines, and Kashima Town is also an important trading port as an important hub for connecting to Tohoku by sea and land. On the other hand, Anbo and Nanshito have no minerals to be found, and despite the long coastline, there are few major commercial opportunities with Kashima Town to the east and Sunfu Town, Odawara Town, and Edo Town to the west.

In the face of this arrangement, Satake Yoshishige had some complaints in private at most, but he always became the leader and became the number one clan in the Kanto region, and there were not many in the world of 670,000 stone after all, so this arrangement could only be said to be not as good as he imagined. Face is a thing that others have given him away, if he doesn't have this position, there are many people staring at it!

Hitachi has been a very important feudal kingdom since ancient times, and together with Ueno and Kamiso, it is a direct domain of the imperial family, so these three feudal states only have the deputy position of "suke" and no main position "Shou". Now that the Satake family has given up this place, I have to choose someone who can be trusted, and after careful consideration, I moved the Hatano family to Hitachi.

Now I have more of a sense of regret about the scarcity of heirs, if there are more than a dozen adult sons at this time, a large set of strict systems can be established, and the foundation of the Zhuxing family is still too shallow after all. As an important branch of the Stars Family, the Hatano family can play a certain role now, but unfortunately there are too few such branches now.

The framework could not be supported by just one point, and as mentioned earlier, I connected Suruga and Sagami, which are the gateways to the Kanto region, together with some areas in the eastern part of the Enoe, and gave 450,000 koku to Takenaka Hanbei. I'm relieved to hand it over to him, even if there is any drastic change in the eastern country, I believe it won't become out of control. I only hope that his sons will have the same ability, at least until my heirs and I complete the change in the country's system.

People are sometimes so strange that my goal was to fundamentally change the system of this country, but before I succeeded, I had to rely on this system, on the current samurai system.

Of course, such a large space in Kanto cannot be just left like this, and it is necessary to invest more, and the other two important forces are the Sanada family, which has been sticking there, and the Nagano family, which has returned after 20 years of wandering.

The Sanada family was like a box of gold balm, and at the junction of Kanto, Koshin, and Hokuriku it was possible to take care of all parties, and I fulfilled my previous promise: the Sanada family had the four counties of Takai, Sakaina, Oji, and Saku in Shinano, and the five counties of Azuma, Usuki, Gunma, Kataoka, and Ganraku in Nishi-Ueno, which increased to a total of 370,000 koku.

The land has nearly tripled in size, and the Sanada family has now become a great family, and the efforts of several generations have finally borne fruit. Although I was a foreign minister, the Sanada family was also a daimyo family who was quite close to me, and at least I was sure that nothing would happen to them in my time with Nobukiyo.

When he left Kanto, Nagano Yesei was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, so naturally he didn't have much prestige, but when it came to his father "Kamisu Yellow Spot" Nagano Yoshimasa, he is still a character who can stop children's night crying. Although their father and son are not the first to follow me, they have made great contributions to the establishment of the star system, so even if they are richly rewarded, not many people will disagree.

I sealed Nagano Yemori to lead the entire southeastern part of Kita-Musashi and Ueno, with an area of 590,000 koku, and Kawagoe Castle was in his domain. Based on his ability and other factors, I think he can play a role as a hub in the Kanto region.

In addition, the head of the Changzong and my department was transferred to the lower general, and the territory was expanded to 406,000 stones, as his territory increased and the natural conditions were better, and Shikoku no longer had more than 200,000 foreign daimyos, and it really became my family's backyard.

However, I was still not very relieved, and moved the Tokawa deposit to 140,000 koku in Tozen Nakatsu in Kyushu, while Juntada Omura, who had been there, moved to 180,000 koku in Minami Shino, and Hirado Matsuura moved to 100,000 koku in Ise-sana. In addition, in the mountains of Kyushu, Kanosuke's territory also expanded to Chikuzen Nationwide, and the territory of 330,000 koku echoed that of Maeda Keiji in the palm of the Bungo country.

The rest of the people who are still closely related to the Kanto region are Fujido Takatora, who also came to Kai from the western country, with a territory of 230,000 stones.

In fact, both Kyushu and Kanto still have some blank areas, in other words, those territories that have not been divided for the time being, such as Kitahizen, Chikugo, Minami Musashi, and so on. However, there are my powerful retainers nearby who can take care of them, so there will be no problems in the short term, and it will be convenient for me to make further arrangements in the future.

The situation in the Northeast is slightly different from that in the Kanto, and although most of them have followed suit, few of them have started directly, so the handling is naturally different. I retained the status of the daimyo of most of them, but with the exception of Mogami and Date, all of them had their territories reduced to less than 100,000.

Andong's family was reduced to 60,000 stone in Zhitai County; 43,000 koku for the southern family to move to Hida; The Tsugaru family arrived at Tojo Castle in Mikawa Province for 18,000 stones. For these people, history has nothing to do with them, unless the curtain is opened again.

There is also Date in the northeast, and Mogami, and there is also Tokugawa Ieyasu who has just arrived there, so it is definitely not to be taken lightly. In order to seal these uncertainties that have been suppressed for the time being, I put two generals, Gamo Clan and Shima Katsuaki.

Shima Katsu Takeshi was placed in Echigo with 390,000 stones, and there was indeed a certain amount of pressure on Uesugi who had just been suppressed, but there was absolutely no problem with his loyalty and martial bravery, and I believe that he could use his personality charm to inspire those Echigo people who have a tradition of righteousness.

In fact, there is another important reason, Shima Katsu Takeshi has served as the commander of the armored cavalry for many years, and he has made certain achievements in the cavalry, and I believe that he will soon be able to train a local army, and then the peace of the northern section of Hokuriku Province will be guaranteed.

The Gamo clan clan had 10 prefectures, including Aizu and Shirakawa in front of Okuzen, as well as a vast area in northern Shimono, with a total territory of 520,000 koku. In addition, he has Hatano in the east, Shima Katsuki in the west, and Nagano Yoshimori in the south, even if Tokugawa unites Date and Mogami, it is enough to compete.

It's not just a way to stop it, and after Akechi Hidemitsu was sealed to the queen of the country, I gave a large area of land near Okugo Tsugaru to the Oysaki family. In any case, when the Anton family followed the crowd, Oysaki clearly stood independent and sent troops south, which alone deserves a "serious" praise. In addition, Otani Yoshitsugu also got 270,000 stone from the five counties of Okugo, Iwate, Shiba, Shui, and Barnyard Rakai, and firmly watched Tokugawa Ieyasu behind his back.

"But even so, it seems that there is still a little bit of ...... missing"

"The front is in the old residence, please rest for a while!" I was still in a daze thinking about the questions that would never be finished, when Tima of the Gamo clan came to me.

I looked up and saw that the army had arrived at Hino Castle.
