Chapter 416: Leveraging Strength
Yuan turtle four years, April.
After Li Xiao stayed behind and arranged the defense of Kajida Castle, he led the retainers of Uchijima Shiri, Shioka Kazuha, Kano Hideji, Usami Minami, Shioya Akisada, Yamamoto Kanzo, and 3,000 troops, and returned to Echichu along Hida Street from Kajita Castle.
Kajida Castle is directly north of Hida Street, and today's National Highway No. 41 in Japan is no more than this main line.
After the Hida Kaizan Festival, the snow and ice have melted, and the entire Hida city has been unimpeded.
In fact, as long as you don't consider the heavy snow blocking the mountain, starting from Kamioka Castle and taking the Hida Kaido to reinforce Mino, it is better than going to the gunjo route, both in terms of road conditions and distance, and you can go directly to the hinterland of Mino.
This is why, for Li Xiao, the strategic position of Kaji Tian Castle is more important than that of Hachiman Castle in the gun.
After a day's march, the Hida Echichu Regiment entered the Hida territory and was stationed in Kanayama Town, Gero City, today.
Between the Hida River and the Mase River, this is a bustling lodging town on the Hida street.
The next day, Li Xiao rode a horse and marched with the army on the undulating streets of Hida.
Most of the scenery on the road is a series of mountains that block the view.
Occasionally, I would see a few cultivated farmlands on the side of the road, and Hida mountain people were plowing the fields with their feet under the fields.
In Hida, due to the terrain restrictions, it is difficult to have large plains except in, so the farmland is all piece by piece, and the cultivation method is also biased towards self-cultivation and small households.
In Japan, farmland where rice is grown is called rice farming, and farmland that is not rice produced is used. They are all called Hatata.
In the Hida Mountains, it is very difficult to find a good paddy field.
Therefore, the common people generally grow mustard, millet, wild vegetables, beans, taro, and so on. But since Li Xiao introduced corn to Hida, it has indeed played a certain role in driving production. The role of increasing the population.
However, unlike rice, the production of Hahata is also converted into a certificate of stone high and the lord paying the annual tribute, but the conversion is far lower than that of rice.
In Li Xiao's inspection of Hida. Ueda, Nakata, and Shimoda are divided into three grades, of which Ueda stone is set as one stone and five buckets, Nakata one stone and three buckets, and Shimoda one stone and one bucket. (This is also the standard of Taige land inspection)
By such standards, Hida's fields are not even qualified.
And with the extremely cold temperature of Hida locality. The idea of the so-called second phase can only stay in legends.
Therefore, despite Li Xiao's operation for several years, the increase in the cultivated area of Hida has been significant. But Shi Gao is only stable at about 50,000 stone at the moment.
Now as the army marched, where Li Xiao's sun and moon double-patterned flag marks passed, these Hida mountain people saw it, and they all knelt in the fields and bowed.
Li Xiao was very pleased with this.
For these Hida mountain people, Li Xiao unified Hida and ended the situation of the three families of Sister Xiaolu, Jiangma, and Uchijima in the Hida War. The people of Hida, who had suffered so much from the war, were relieved.
After the chaos, it is just a matter of calming down. You can slowly resume production.
Li Xiao granted the Great Tibetan Chang'an and promulgated the Law of Seeing the Establishment of Xintian. Even if the new fields are cultivated, the people only need to increase one-tenth of the annual tribute within a few years.
Historically, this method was implemented by the eighth shogun, Tokugawa Yoshimune, who was reformed by the Edo shogunate.
Li Xiao also pardoned the status of non-humans, mountain people, prisoners, and other people who were previously regarded as untouchables, and treated them equally.
Although this method was opposed by some old forces, Li Xiao's purpose was to liberate the productive forces and increase the population of Hida in order to promote the increase in tax revenue.
These pardoned untouchables were gathered together in Chang'an, Tibet, and they were planted in the Hida Mountains. …,
Tanada is a terraced rice field, and in Japan it is also called Senmeida.
Tanada has been cultivated in Japan for more than 300 years, and in today's Shodo in the gun, Hida Takayama is one of Japan's top 100 tourist destinations.
In addition, Hida is Li Xiao's starting place, and more than one-third of Li Xiao's standing soldiers are from Hida.
As the saying goes, the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, and the mountain monkeys in the Jiafei ravine are the best examples.
The people of the Hida Mountains can endure hardships and have a strong physique, which is the main composition of Li Xiao's standing equipment.
As a standing farmer, his income is as much as two or three times that of an ordinary farmer, so being able to join Li Xiaojun will definitely greatly improve the lives of the locals.
Li Xiao's various actions in Hida have won the hearts of the local people.
The management of the root land has always been necessary for the beginning of the dynasty, so despite the hard work, Li Xiao also wants to extend favors here in Hida.
Now after these few years, Li Xiao's rule in Hida has reached the point of being unbreakable.
After trekking through the mountains for several days, Li Xiao's army passed through Sakurato Castle on the streets of Hida and arrived at Kamioka Castle, where the army rested for a day.
Although Li Xiao has moved the city to Chengsheng City, the role of Shengang City is still important, this is the place where Li Xiao started, and at the same time the defense of Shengang Silver Mountain.
Now Shengang Castle has almost become the residence of Li Xiao's chief commissioner, Dazang Chang'an.
In Li Xiao's government affairs, Honda Masanobu in addition to Li Xiaojun's teacher, also served as the temple councilor.
Masuda Nagamori, on the other hand, was the town governor of Iwanamina Town, and he also served as the civil engineering commissioner.
As a royal merchant, Shioya Akizhen not only controlled the Shioya merchants, but also served as the financial commissioner.
In addition to being directly the official of Guiyun Jinshan and Shengang Yinshan, he also served as the administrative commissioner and the survey commissioner.
This can be described as a monopoly of power, and among Li Xiao's retainers, Chang'an, in terms of actual power, is actually the highest.
Now when Li Xiao's army has not yet arrived in Shengang Town, Dazang Chang'an immediately took a group of people from Shengang Town, as well as the Tibetan people of Shengang Silver Mountain, plus the people in the town, hundreds of people, and arranged a rather extravagant pomp to greet them from afar.
Masuda Nagamori, who was supposed to be in Iwanamine Town, also greeted Li Xiao under the city.
There are also Takahara Suwa Castle Castle Castle Hiroshi, Asono Yoshimori, and Takayama Castle Castle Castle and Sister Koji Takatoma. and a kind of Hida wealthy clan who came to the castle to pay their respects.
As soon as Chang'an saw Li Xiao, he immediately stepped forward with affection and led his subordinates to bow in front of Li Xiaoma.
Li Xiao frowned slightly when he saw this situation, in fact, he didn't like this kind of fanfare, but he wouldn't chill the heart of Dazang Chang'an in front of everyone, so he didn't say it on the spot.
Seeing that Li Xiao was not unhappy, Dazang Chang'an thought that he had made a right shot. immediately stepped forward more affectionately, and there was quite a sense of the meaning of leading the horse to the whip for Li Xiao.
After the Great Tibetan Chang'an ceremony. Li Xiao was relieved to Asono Qingsheng, and his sister Xiaolu Gaogang was relieved by Yan again.
Asono Keisei has inherited the name of the Eima family as a branch of the original Eduma family, and his sister Koji Takatsuna is now the Hida National Division, nominally the head of the Hida Country. And he is also the three great ministers of the imperial court, and this official position is three ranks higher than that of Takeda Shingen, the great chef who manages the palace cuisine.
At present, these two people are both leading the way, and they are rice worms under Li Xiao, eating and waiting to die, but they don't dare to be polite to Li Xiao.
After entering Kamiokamachi. Li Xiao found that although he had moved the city, the town of Kamioka had become more prosperous.
As the mining of Kamioka Silver Mountain expanded, the town of Kamioka gradually prospered.
Li Xiao couldn't help but praise Chang'an, Tibet, and Chang'an was indeed well governed.
Enter the Kamiokan Castle Castle Tower, after a welcome banquet. Li Xiao left the three commissioners in charge of government affairs, Chang'an, Masuda Changsheng, and Shioya Qiuzhen, and convened the meeting together. …,
"What? Do you mean that there are nearly 1,000 people living in Iwanaminato? ”
Li Xiao couldn't help but be surprised, he really didn't understand why he was a fellow countryman. Why don't you wait for the Heavenly Empire, you have to go to this island country to struggle.
Is it a precedent for seeing one's own success?
Masuda Nagamori sighed. He said: "Returning to the lord is not only an increase in the number of people. And most of them were young and strong men, and as soon as those Ming people entered this place, they built houses on a large scale, and their houses seemed to have a certain layout, and they were connected layer by layer, as if they could be used as a defense, and now there are many rumors circulating in Vietnam, claiming that the lord intends to collude with his own people......"
"That's enough."
Li Xiao couldn't help but be angry when he heard this, he thought about it carefully, and it was understandable that xenophobic thinking could not be avoided wherever it went.
But this rumor with such a routine is definitely instigated by people with ulterior motives, and it is either Uesugi or Oda's fine work.
Yanwu Qiuzhen saw that Li Xiao was furious, and said: "My lord, since someone spreads rumors, he will order a ban on his mouth, and whoever dares to talk nonsense will be killed." ”
"No, the mouth of the people is even more defenseless than Sichuan, so it seems that my heart is weak," Li Xiao thought for a moment, and then said: "Send ninjas to investigate immediately, where is the source of the rumors." ”
Putting an end to the source of rumors is one thing, thinking of the actions of his group of Mingguo fellows, Li Xiao is also a little angry, Li Dan and they are not kind.
Such an approach is easy to make people guess with ill intentions.
At that time, these Chinese armed maritime groups, affected by the Ming Dynasty's ban on the sea, were looking for bases everywhere.
The earliest such as Chen Zuyi, the overlord of the Seven Seas, established himself as the lord of the Bolin State in Malacca.
For example, Yan Siqi, another person with the same name as Li Dan, led 3,000 people to reclaim Taiwan.
For example, another pirate, Lin Daoqian, led his men into Siam, and in the end, the king of Siam did not dare to use troops against him, but married his daughter to this man.
Wang Zhi, Li Dan, and Zheng Zhilong, not to mention, have always been based in Japan.
It is also circulated among the people that Zheng Zhilong and Yan Siqi conspired together to overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate, but I don't know if it is made up or if there is indeed this idea.
Li Xiao thought for a while and asked Masuda Nagamori: "Now in Iwanato Town, who is the head of the Ming Sea Merchant?" ”
Masuda Naga said: "It's Wang Tanzhi, and I heard that Li Dan will also come to Iwanamina Town next month. ”
"Very good," Li Xiao nodded, thinking to himself that his fellow Mingguo seemed to really have some other intentions for his own one-third of an acre, but it just so happened that Li Xiao also had a big business to do with them.
If you don't get it right, these fellows can be the precursor for him to attack the country of Neng.
