Chapter 217: Long-tailed Jinghu's Determination
At the Kasuga Mountain Castle Assessment Meeting, Nagao Jinghu said sonorously: "If the name is not right, it is not good, only Shangluo can meddle in Shinano affairs if he seeks the edict of the imperial court and the shogunate, so the family decided to go to Luo!" ”
"That's what the lord said! In order to deal with the Takeda family's invasion of Okushinano, my Nagao family must fight back with a righteous name! Naoe immediately agreed.
"I'm going to agree!" The retainers of the Longtail family don't have any opinions, and it has little to do with us if you go to Luo.
"Your understanding, I, Jinghu, take it to heart, Shangluo is to deal with the Takeda family who invaded Shinano! Okushinano and I Echigo are close to each other, Okushino is unstable, and I can't feel at ease in Echigo! Nagao Jinghu was silent for a moment, and then said: "As long as we defeat the Takeda family and eliminate those rebellious Shinano people, all the newly acquired borderless lands will be shared with all meritorious officials." ”
"Good!" Hojo Takahiro slapped his thigh and jumped up first and shouted, "It's so good! I, Gao Guang, was the first to be in favor of playing Shinano...... Hit the Takeda family! ”
This decision made the Nagao family cheer, these countrymen have been fighting to the death in their own territory all day long for trivial things, the reason is still for that little territory, if they can really increase the territory, they will follow Nagao Jinghu to do anything, not to mention that Nagao Jinghu repeatedly told the retainers who were in turmoil that this was a righteous war, in order to restore Shinano's stability, for which he would go to Luo to meet the emperor and the shogun, in order to obtain the emperor's decree and the shogunate's crusade order.
This resolution was unanimously adopted by all the vassals after Nagao Jinghu announced this order, and then Nagao Jinghu raised the issue of the apportionment of Shangluo's expenses, which caused a lot of controversy. The lord of the country thinks that if you go to Shangluo, you will go to Luo. Why the showdown fee? It's not easy for us to work hard for a year to get some money, and you, the lord of the country, can't blackmail us.
So the topic could not go on, the troubled long-tailed Jinghu summoned his cronies and important ministers to discuss the matter, and finally discussed and couldn't find a good way, at this time suddenly a white figure broke in, and the long-tailed Jinghu couldn't calm down, and hurriedly scolded: "Tiger Ji! How can you trespass into the assessment room! Hurry back! ”
Tiger Ji glanced at the retainer who had fallen into a daze, and gently flicked her shawl long hair. Under the scolding of Nagao Jinghu, he sat next to him indifferently, and said with a smile: "Brother's troubles, Master Tianmuro Guangyu already knows!" So I asked Hu Ji to tell my brother that if there is a problem with financial resources, you can find a way to find a way on the green roots. ”
"Looking for a way on the green cocoon?" Nagao Keitora fell into thought, Echigo's Aoya is in charge of Zoda Gorou Saemon, the Zoda family is the Ise Jingu Imperial Master, and it has been three generations since he became the royal merchant of the Nagao family, and the Zoda family has maintained the name of Gorou Saemon for generations to take care of the business of Aomosa, and it is usually not conspicuous.
Speaking of the time when Zoda Gorouzaemon dealt with merchants. It's a lot more time than dealing with samurai.,It's a kind and sleek guy.。 In addition to sending some taxes every month, he almost never appears in Kasuga Mountain Castle, and he usually doesn't go to see him, but he is handed over to Kakizaki Keijia, Naoe Mizuna, Saito Asanobu, and a few other officials to be responsible.
But since his master mentioned the green cocoon, it was necessary for him to understand the specific situation of the green cocoon, and sent someone to check it only to find out that the green cocoon was actually the most profitable thing in Echigo, the green cocoon is the main raw material for making hemp fabrics, and it is also the only textile raw material that can be used in large quantities in medieval Japan, so it has always been the most profitable business.
So Nagao Keitora found Zoda Goro Saemon, and asked him to work with the government to formulate a new tax system, and asked all places in the country, including the Sekisho, not to tax the green cocoon without authorization, and listed the green cocoon tax as one of the main taxes listed by the lord, although Zoda Goro Saemon had the heart to refute, but in the face of the forced eyes of Nagao Keitora and the Echigo generals, he could only secretly curse the barbarians, and then honestly cooperate with them.
Nagao then announced that he would not pay the fees for the Kamiraku and demanded that the new tax system be strictly enforced, which immediately aroused a revolt among the Chinese and Vietnamese people, among whom the Hojo Takahiro, who was the acting official of Kashiwasaki Minato, reacted most violently, because he had always made huge profits from the high tax of 20 yen per pack horse.
"You can't do that, my lord! Our warriors enjoy the privilege of guarding the infallible! You can't just levy taxes! Hearing that Shinano had a good deal, Hojo Takahiro was very active, and as soon as he heard that he was going to move his own cake, he immediately changed his face, and he really showed off like a chameleon.
But his request is not supported by others, because it is your own benefit, and it has nothing to do with all of us, since Long-tailed Jinghu does not want us to apportionment of Shangluo's fees, then why should we oppose him? Don't forget that the cost of apportionment is as high as several thousand kan, including the accommodation and food, travel, and various expenses paid to the imperial court, the shogunate, and the heads of the five mountains.
And the green rice tax of the Hojo Takahiro class was a private tax, not a decree of the imperial court and the shogunate, and it was not approved by the Echigo guardian and guardian generation, completely because he saw that the business of the green tree was booming and wanted to extort a sum of money from it, so his behavior was deservedly reprimanded by the adherents, and even Yasuda Keimoto, whose family was far away in Kita-Shinano, wrote a letter to persuade him not to go against the entire Echigo country.
Yasuda Keiwon's bitter persuasion did not get his approval, Hojo Takahiro is a very arrogant person, he is the descendant of the Oe family, in terms of his origin, his ancestors are much higher than the family of the Yasui Maori family, the Maori clan was born from Oe Hiromoto's four men Oe Jiguang served as the head of the land of Sagami Maorizhuang, and since then changed the Miao character Maori clan, and was called the Maori left near the general, so there was the later Maori clan.
The left general Mori Jiguang was begged to death in the Miura Rebellion, and his fourth son, Mori Jimitsu, inherited the position of the head of the land of Mori Zhuang and inherited the title of his father's position of the left general of the left near general, and then the Mori Tsumitsu served as the head of Echigo Sahashiso, but with the frequent turmoil in the later Kamakura period, Mori Sukitsu and his eldest son, the Mori Shogun and his eldest son, the Mori Shogun, hid in the land of Echigo Sahashiso, and the second male Tokimitsu ran to Anyu's Yoshidaso in the chaos to do the land, and thus separated the branch of the Anyu Mori family.
The left general of the concubine Maoli Jiqin, and passed the family governor to his son-in-law Danhou Shou Maori Shiyuan. Maori Shiyuan had three sons. The eldest son, Zuo, is close to the general and the general is very high. The second son, Dango, Shou Maori Zhiliang, and the three brothers of Maori Xianguang in the womb.
Because the eldest son, Maori, had no children, he was made his adopted son by his younger brother Tango Mamoru Mori Jira, and inherited the position of the Maori family's leader, Maori Jira's son-in-law Tango Mamoru Nagahiro built Hojo Castle north of Sahashiso, so it was called Hojo Maori, and his younger brother Maori Kenhiro passed on the lineage of Yasuda Maori.
As for the Anyun Maori family, it is the eldest son of the Shiqin lineage, Maori Zuojin, who is close to the general of the chastity family. Sada's relatives passed on the third son Mori Mutsu Shou Qin Shige, and Qin Mao passed on the Bichu Shou Shige, and then developed the Yasuki Mori clan, which can only be regarded as a division compared to his Hojo Mori clan, because the Hojo Takahiro family can use the "Guang" character of the Maori family to do the righteousness, and his division of the Yasuda family uses the "Yuan" son to do the righteousness, which is the same as the Aki Maori clan.
Therefore, Maori Takahiro has always been very confident in himself, and he is definitely not much worse than the long-tailed Jinghu who is just from the Ping clan, not to mention that his military flag is still a big ant with his head held high, and he has always been famous for his bravery and martial arts. Kakizaki Keijia, who has always been called the first fierce general of the Seven Counties of Echigo, is not very convinced, and of course he is not very convinced by Nagao Jinghu.
Of course, Long-tailed Jinghu didn't know this. He made a profit of thousands of guanwen by levying the tax of that year, and such a large sum of money not only moved him, but also moved the followers, so that he was more determined to carry out reforms, and he was more eager to see what kind of person Kira Yoshishi was when he gave him advice, and what was the scene of the two counties under his rule.
Before the departure, a new order was announced in the meaning of the Guardian Imperial Ryo, which was to issue an "Imperial Decree" to the townspeople near Naoetsu, in which the ordinances stipulated that the towns in the prefecture should not be directly under the guardian, and that Naoetsu and Kashiwasaki Minato would be taken under the guardianship, and that the Urahara gundai and the lord of Sanjo Castle, Yamayoshi Iyoshi Mamohisa, would be transferred to Kashiwazaki Minato, and his son, Yamayoshi Sunjiro, would serve as Nagao Keitor's side near Motofu, named Yamayoshi Sunjiro Toyomori.
Yamayoshi Masahisa's appointment is very positive.,Yamayoshi clan was originally the official of the Nagao family in the house.,Since the previous governors of the Nagao family, he has served as a deputy in charge of handling the affairs of Urahara County.,The residence of the Nagao family in the house before the development was also Sanjo Castle.,It's just that with the Nagao family as the guardian generation, Sanjo Castle was handed over to the Yamayoshi clan.,This time it's just that the things are returned to the original owner and the Sanjo Castle is taken back.。
And this choice is not a loss for Yamayoshi Masahisa, his clan's influence in Urahara County is limited, and he has the name of the county but cannot suppress the wealthy clan of Zhongyue and Xiayue, if he exchanges an empty name for Kashiwazaki Minato to pursue this fat shortage, how can he not be happy, and the Urahara gundai is handed over to the lord of Akata Castle, and Echigo Zhong Kui Saito Shimonono Mamoru Asanobu is in charge.
At the same time, Nagao Keitora ordered his own gate, Nagao Kashiro Keiaki of the Sanjo Nagao family, to serve as the lord of Sanjo Castle and guard the Shinano River Valley, the most important area in the Chuetsu region, so that a stable equilateral triangle was formed in the Chuetsu region, and the three corners were Naoe Mizuna's Yobanaki, Honjo Minoru's Tochio Castle, and Nagao Keiaki's Sanjo Castle.
In this way, it was possible to further strengthen the control of the two counties of Mishima and Guzhi in the Sino-Vietnamese region, and to make new adjustments to Urahara County, in which the lord of Tenjin Mountain Castle in the county, Mizuru Yorihisa, served as the second officer of Nishiurahara, and the former Kasuga Yamajo Castle Police served as the new soldier of Jinjin, and returned to his hometown to serve as the second soldier of Higashiurahara-gun.
The Tenjin Mountain Castle of the small country Yorihisa is under the semi-encirclement of Sanjo Castle and Ban Castle, and it happens to be on the seaside behind it, so it is necessary to bow to Nagao Jinghu, and appointing him as the second commander of Nishiurahara County is also a means of wooing, which can increase the influence of Kokuni Yorihisa in Nishiurahara County.
The wife of the new soldier of Jinjin Captain Yoshiro used to be the nurse of Nagao Jinghu, and he himself has also served as the leader of the police for a long time in Kasuga Mountain Castle, and he has always been trusted by Nagao Jinghu to have this relationship, so he went to serve as the second soldier of Higashiurahara County, and it is also the most reassuring choice to go deep into the interior of Shimoetsu.
After a round of adjustments, Long-tailed Jinghu embarked on a trip to Shangluo with dozens of entourage, and there was a small episode before leaving, and Long-tailed Tiger Ji also made a fuss about going to Kyoto, the reason was that there were early cherry blossoms to see in Kyoto, which made Long-tailed Jinghu feel very speechless, but he really couldn't pester this little sister and could only agree, and then there were more long-tailed tiger Ji and a few of his little maids in the team.
