Chapter 264: The Youth of the Langgang Family
"Sure enough!" Nakajo Fujizi sighed, it can be said that the Miura Party and the Chichibu Party are the only ones who have the duty of their ministers, whether it is the lord of Echigo or the Kanto Governor, they are just retainers of the Ashikaga family, and it is natural for a group of their courtiers to obey the Ashikaga family's Imperial Gate.
"I would like to declare here that all the people of Echigo have not been guilty of the past, and from now on they must abide by the law of my Kira! As for Honjo Fanchang and Kurokawa Morimi, the seal was reduced to 1,000 stone and I thought about it behind closed doors, when I figured it out, and when I came to Kasuga Mountain Castle again. Kira Yoshitoki waved his hand and asked Hojo Takahiro to take the two of them down to communicate individually.
"Wuwei Palace! You can't do that! It's absolutely impossible to reduce the seal, ah......" Kurokawa Morimi was still struggling, and Honjo Shichang raised his head and shouted: "Why do you want to reduce the seal?" No one can reduce the seal! Even if you're a martial guard, you can't! ”
The territory of the Zhuang family has 15,000 stones, especially in the large mountainous area near Dewa in Shimoetsu, which is his family's territory, and was cut down by Girayoshi Chrysostom Yuyan and only left a thousand stones, that is to say, there is only a little farmland near Honjo Castle, Kurokawa Mori is slightly worse but also has 12,000 stone territory, and only 1,000 stone is also cut down, so the punishment can't help but make the people of Shimoetsu break into a cold sweat.
"Hold on!" Watanabe was also furious, and immediately a few Kira samurai came up and walked out with the two of them.
Hojo Takahiro bowed down and retreated, he came to Shimotsu this time to shoulder the heavy responsibility of convincing the two traitors, he knew what this Wuweidian was worried about, the sudden illness of the long-tailed Jinghu made Echigo's situation very bad, and at this juncture, it should be even more quiet and not moving.
Having him, a man who participated in the rebellion and surrendered, come forward would be the biggest blow to the confidence of Honjo Shiranaga and Kurokawa Morimi. What could know their minds better than an accomplice? Of course, he wasn't alone. Ben Toshi followed him out with a smile.
"That's it! Don't talk about this. Let's talk about rewarding merits! This time, the Nakajo Echizen Hall, the main water of the small country, and the Jinjin New Guard Hall have made great contributions! This work was shared with the three of them! ”
It was also a deliberate decision to share the work with the three Echigo nationals, although Nakajo Fujishi contributed a lot, but the loss was not great, and the small country Yorihisa and Kanazu Yoshiro each lost hundreds of people in the battle of Honjo Castle, so it is meaningless for the three to have the same credit.
The reward for the work was 5,000 yuan of Yongle money, 5,000 stone of rice, 100 stone of soybean oil, and half of the captured armor and weapons were divided among the three families. This reward is absolutely high and scary, it can be said that there is everything, that is, there is no land to know and act to increase the seal, and Nakajo Fujizi questioned this.
"Zhixing is sealed? Hehe......" Kira Yoshitoki laughed, and the samurai of the Kira family also laughed, and the Kira family did not popularize the theory of land addition, and none of the thousands of samurai of the Kira family had land to know how to act, and all of them received the Yulu given by Kira Yoshitomi, and this rule was naturally brought to Echigo.
"Money and food are always good, but it's always not as solid as getting the land in your hands! I still think it's better to add seals to the land. Although Echigo, other people in the country couldn't interject. But I still looked at him expectantly.
"What does the land do? Hehe! Kira Yoshitoki smiled and instructed Watanabe Takatsuna, "Takatsuna tell him." What is the year of my Kira family's ashigaru general? What about your year? ”
"Yes!" Watanabe Takatsuna bowed, stood up and raised his head proudly and said: "My Kira family ashigaru general has an annual salary of one hundred and fifty yuan of Yongle money, of which the money and grain are halved, and the normal situation is to pay eighty yuan of Yongle money, two hundred and ten stone of rice, in addition to four buckets of salt, six stones of vegetables, one hundred and fifty poultry eggs and one stone of aquatic products, and the samurai of my Kira family do not need to support their retainers, do not have to bear military service to raise soldiers and save food, and their lives are definitely more comfortable than the wealthy family of three thousand stones!" ”
"Yongle money, grain, salt, vegetables, poultry eggs, aquatic products? This ...... What are they? I've never heard of such a strange Yulu, it's just ......" Nakajo Fujizi opened his mouth, and the people of Shimotsu were also stunned, which is the life of a samurai, it is even more chic than guarding the daimyo, and giving money and food to a bunch of things that have never been thought of, and carefully calculating that it is indeed better than the wealthy family of three thousand stones.
"My Gaogang's annual income is 300 guan, and every year I can receive 150 guan Yongle money, 450 stone rice, 7 buckets of salt, 13 stone vegetables, 300 poultry eggs, and 3 stone of aquatic products!"
Watanabe Takatsuna still kept a hand, because the Kira family was engaged in large-scale farming in pastures, and his bastard Gengoro could eat pork in a single day, and there was a bowl of pork bone soup to drink every day, and he jumped in size in a few months, of course, this is a secret that these people in the lower Yue country know that eating meat is still a taboo in this era.
"This ...... It's amazing! What if we did the same? The people of Xiayue, who were shocked, couldn't help but shake their hearts.
There are only a few families in the lower Yue Yangbei Zhongli who are full of calculations with a stone height of more than 6,000 stones, except for those large martial artists, most of the wealthy families have a total stone height of less than 3,000 stones, which is equivalent to saying that they have worked hard for several generations to get out of a little family background, and they are not as good as a foot light general of the Kira family, looking at their appearance, that is, the gap is too big for more than ten years.
Sebe Katsucho's age is relatively old in Yangbei, and the veteran who is over sixty years old is not afraid of what others say about him, so he asked cheekily: "But I Katsucho still has a problem, if there is no land, how to ensure that the descendants can inherit this year in the future?" ”
He also has 7,700 stone territory in his hand, and after removing the knowledge and practice of a bunch of retainers, the direct collar in his hand is only about 3,850 stones, and the grain income that can be obtained by the current annual tribute system of the six public and the four people fluctuates around 2,200 stone, and his own family needs to raise 300 standing soldiers, plus the more than 500 military service that the retainers need to bear, there are about 8 or 900 people, and in the event of an emergency, another 5 or 600 peasant soldiers can be recruited according to the situation, and the total will be 1,500 people.
Including all the people of the lower Echishi country, including Nakajo Fujishi, Honjo Shigenaga, and even the entire Echigo, this system is also called the system of sending relatives and sending children, this system originated in the Kamakura shogunate era of the Lang Party, the powerful samurai recruited some blood relatives or non-blood relatives of the samurai into their command, and established a master-slave relationship in the virtual parent-child relationship of military service.
After the baptism of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Cargill Rebellion, and the Yingren Rebellion. As the guardian daimyo gradually changed to the Sengoku daimyō. The daimyo system was constantly changing. The various samurai daisa established a stable political system and established a separate national law, and at the same time, the military service system was further established, so the system of sending relatives and sending children was established.
For example, the more powerful samurai such as Katsucho Sebe, all served as the city lord, and under his matching, he received hundreds of stones, and the retainers of Zhixing were relatives, and the lower level of the ground servant was only one or twenty stones, and Zhixing was the son, and the grassroots were peasants and soldiers, which was also a typical military system of the Warring States period in Japan.
"The samurai of my Kira family received the annual salary of the family. As long as there are heirs in the family, it will be passed down from generation to generation, whether it is a parent or an adopted son, of course, provided that the laws of my Kira family are obeyed. ”
"I see!" Sebe Katsucho frowned and was silent, this has been passed down from generation to generation, but there are still some doubts about having to accept the law of the Kira family, after all, no one knows what is going on in the Kira family, and based on subjective judgment alone, at least the proud expressions of the warriors of the Kira family are not pretending, and they are really doing well.
"You can think about it carefully, if you have any questions, you can ask the direct ministers of your family, and today's assessment is here!" That's all that needs to be said. Kira Yoshitoki got up and left, leaving them some room to think.
At this time, Honjo Castle had become the base camp of the Kira army, and the castle tower of the Honjo family was naturally requisitioned by Kira Yoshitoki. Push open the paper door and enter a spacious and bright room, which was originally the long living room of Honjo, the same as the traditional castle tower, and on the other side there is a terrace with a view of the castle, just a few hundred meters away from the mountain.
Dressed as a samurai, Hattori Homoto walked in with a samurai tied up with a big tie, this samurai was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with faint eyebrows and a pair of fox eyes, and even when he was tied, he always wore a faint smile, like a cunning fox.
As he looked at the man, the man was also looking at him, and after a moment of silence, Kira Yoshishi made a gesture: "Untie him." ”
"This ...... Be! Hattori knew the rules, hesitated and did so, but the fox-like guy still smiled and rubbed his reddened wrists, muttering to himself: "It's really not kind at all!" I don't look like a guy who would hurt people, do I? ”
"Don't talk nonsense......"
"Bao Yuan can step back." As soon as Kira Yoshitoki spoke, Hattori Homoto had no choice but to retreat in a huff.
"What's your name and where are you from? Why was it abandoned by the Mogami Army? Tell me everything you know. Kira waved his hand to signal that he could sit down as well.
"In the lower Miao word Langgang, Tongzi 顕房, the second son of Tian Weilanggang's attendant is also, from the Langgang Imperial Office in Tsugaru County, Oshu, because of his poor riding skills, he was captured by the rear army."
Kira Yoshishi hesitated, and then asked, "Langoka Mansion?" The grandson of the left lieutenant general of Langoka? ”
"It's the ancestor!" When Nanaoka was staring at Kira Yoshishi, who was a little surprised, with a smile on his face, at this time, Chiyo Mochizuki walked in with a plate of pastries and tea, and saw a stranger hesitate and walked in: "Your Highness! Let's try Chiyome's craftsmanship! It will definitely not be worse than Sister Aju! ”
"Hmm! Chiyome go down and rest for a while! Will you talk about it later? ”
"Good!" Chiyo nodded obediently, his identity is a personal ninja, different from ordinary female ninja betrayal hue, she has learned many things from Aju in the past few years, including when you can't disturb Kira Yoshi, and the samurai have to retreat when they need to talk.
When Chiyo closed the paper door and the footsteps gradually disappeared, Kira Yoshitoki re-spoken, "Why are you here?" Isn't the Nanaoka Imperial Palace good? How did you end up in the Extreme Army? ”
"It's a long story, so let's make a long story short! Because he didn't get along with his brother in the next, he ...... "Langoka told him about his origins."
Their Langgang family is not a samurai family, but an authentic public family, speaking of which his family is still a branch of the middle courtyard family, the ancestor is the famous North and South Dynasties of Japan after the famous North and South Hata Dai Na Yan family, the most famous of this branch is the North Hatake Na Yan family, this family is the mainstay of the Southern Dynasty, including the Ise North Hatake family is also the same ancestor as this family, after the death of the North Hatake family and the same pillar of the Southern Dynasty insisted on for hundreds of years.
Later, with the death of Kitabatake Manya of the Ise Kitabatake family, the last trace of fire on the southern side disappeared completely, and since then the southern side has begun to degenerate into a local power, such as Ise Kitabatake has become the Ise Kuniji, the largest local force in Ise country, and the Nanaoka family is also the number one person in Tsugaru, but the place chosen is not very good, and it is slightly more difficult to develop between the southern family and the Ando family.
Langoka is the second son of Nangang, he also has an older brother Nanaoka Guyun and a younger brother Nanaoka Fumi, his father Nanaoka Gutong died of illness more than ten years ago, and the current governor is still his grandfather Nanaoka Guyong, that is, the left lieutenant general Langoka mentioned by Kira Yoshito.
Because he was the second son in the family and had no inheritance rights, but he was reluctant to be a retainer of his brother, so in a fierce quarrel a few months ago, he faced the vicious words of his brother and brother joining forces, and in his last rage, he fled from Mutsu and came to Mogami for several months.
He was a guest general with little status in the Mogami family, and he didn't have any right to speak and make suggestions about eating and drinking, and Mogami Yoshimori thought he was a famous vase, and in the end he was unwilling to eat and mix before he took the initiative to ask to go with the army, and as a result, he was defeated by the Kira army in the first battle, and he also became a prisoner of the Kira family.
