Chapter 187: Autumn Harvest Land Transfer (Eighth Shift)
In ancient times, there were so few entertainments, men could recite poems and go on a long trip, or play Go to play a game, while women could only hide in the courtyard to study the Tale of Genji or play small games such as stolen and pitcher throwing to pass the time, and it was precisely because of this boring life that the emptiness and corruption of aristocratic culture were born, which made praying to God and Buddha the only spiritual sustenance.
Therefore, since the introduction of the Tang Dynasty, Bogu Shuanglu has become an enduring entertainment and gambling game of the Japanese upper class, until today, Kira Yoshishi created a game called the Great Wealthy Merchants, which completely broke the shackles of the monopoly of Shuanglu entertainment projects, and the elegant Go and poetry, the game called the Great Wealthy Merchants is closer to life, and every place in Japan has become a means of management, which not only introduces the culture of various places, but also is an interesting and puzzle game.
When Konoe Harusu in the monthly songs,When this game was brought out,It was immediately loved by the ministers,This game greatly weakens the characteristics of gambling,Improve the fun of multiplayer games,Except for a few ministers to corrupt the atmosphere,Promote mercantile culture as the reason for vigorously refuting,The government and the opposition are not a word on this matter,Privately but the evaluation of this game is very high。
Many ministers approached Konoe Haruhi to buy a set of Daihao merchant games, and after receiving the support of Kira Yoshitoki, the Konoe family's manor began to make and sell complete sets of elaborate Daihao commercial equipment, and Konoe Haruhi also promised that all profits would be given to Ashikaga Katsuhime for safekeeping.
This year's autumn harvest was completed very smoothly, and with the labor resources of tens of thousands of people, the grain in the two counties was harvested, threshed, and dried within a month. The process of hoarding. The results of the statistics at the beginning of October. The Kira family received 55,000 koku in Shiga and Takashima counties, including 20,000 koku including Otsu Usayama Castle, 18,000 koku from Kiyomizuyama Castle in Takashima Prefecture, 10,000 koku from Sakamoto Castle, and 7,000 koku from Enryakuji Kanda, which was newly purchased.
"The total stone height of the two counties exceeded 150,000 stone for the first time! The family has become the largest lord of the two counties, which is a lot more than the direct lord of the three rivers, which is really unexpected! Seeing the briefing that was sent, Kira Yoshishi smiled silently. Who else would dare to say that it was a mistake for him to come to Kyoto?
In the industry of the Kira family, the profit of recasting copper coins is the largest, and it can bring him 200 new money every day, with the abundant iron money on the market and the high-quality Yongle money of the original copper 8 lead 2, it can be melted into Yongle money for copper production copper 4 lead 6, the copper house does not have to worry about the shortage of raw materials at all, the profit in the exchange of three goods is huge, not only the handling fee on the surface, but also the hidden exchange rate manipulation profit, which can make the three money houses bring an average of 1000 Yongle money to the Kira family every month.
At the same time, Mikawa Shinshio sells its share of the Kira family every month. As well as selling the new salt of the Mikawa Kira family, a retainer can also guarantee a profit of 1,200 guan and about 300 kangaku. The monthly business tax in Sakamoto Town is as high as hundreds of kan, and the income of the Sanheya is not mentioned for the time being, and the Biwa House can receive 300 kan Yongle money every month.
Monopolizing the horse trading business in Hokuriku is to make a sure profit, but the Biwa House grass did not have so much influence at the beginning, and many merchants walking on the trade road have doubts about the credibility of Sakamoto Town, as long as a year and a half passes, merchants gradually get used to the preferential and convenient benefits of Sakamoto Town, and their income will increase greatly.
As the Kira family quietly became the first lord of the two prefectures, the dominance was unshakable, and the Shiga Prefecture was built with all its might, which also attracted the dissatisfaction of the people of Takashima County, and at the evaluation meeting at the end of October, they appealed one after another, demanding that Takashima County also establish a new town, and the people of the general service were willing to bear it.
After the discussion at the evaluation meeting, it was decided to formulate a plan for the new town of Azumigawa, but there must be a premise, that is, the 18,000 koku in Takashima County under the Kira family should be transferred accordingly, because of the problem of inheritance of the Hao clan's territory, the clans under the jurisdiction of the Hao clan in various places are not necessarily connected to each other, which is the same as the landlords in ancient China who bought land, it is not easy to buy a piece of land connected to each other, and the same is true of the 18,000 koku territory obtained by the Kira family, they are divided into two large pieces, the area around the Azumi River and the shore of the lake in the north.
Kira Yoshitoki proposed a plan to swap the domains of several families with the Kira family, exchanging the rich land of the northern lakeshore area for the land in the Azumi River basin, so that the Kishira family's domains in Takashima-gun were united, and in exchange he was to build twenty new towns for the lords of the northern lakeshore.
After more than half a year of confrontation, Miyoshi Changqing felt that he really couldn't do it like this anymore, and began to confront the Hatakeyama family at the Jiaoxing Temple in Hanoi in March this year.
Just after the autumn harvest in August, Hosokawa Harumoto and Rokkaku Yoshiken wanted to pick up the leak, and the two of them once again acted as spoilers, approaching Kawachi with an army of 10,000 to show their support for Hatakeyama Takamasa's attitude, and the troubles of this spoiler made the confrontation situation more and more difficult, so in late October, Miyoshi Chokei, who had been planning for half a year, decided to make a change.
The Miyoshi army left the Kyokoji main camp and moved in the direction of Wakae Castle, and the Hatakeyama family and the Tsutsui coalition army immediately discovered the movement of the Miyoshi army, so they left the main camp and began to pursue, but the Miyoshi family suddenly turned their heads to the north to meet the Yamato people led by the Tsutsui coalition army to attack, with 35,000 troops against 10,000 troops, and the Tsutsui coalition army was defeated and fled.
Immediately after that, Miyoshi's army turned around and fought a fierce battle in the wilderness north of Zhengjukji Temple in the northern part of Hanoi, and the Miyoshi family launched a fierce attack on the Hatakeyama family that broke through outside Zhengjukuji Temple with the Shikoku people as the main force, and the total number of troops invested by both sides exceeded 60,000, and the iron artillery team invested also set a new historical record.
This is due to the influence of the Kira Army in the battle last summer, the Iron Artillery Team and the Bake Jade Team are mighty, even if they do not witness the real scene, it is enough to make many people want to get into trouble, the Miyoshi family who has suffered a big loss on the iron cannon, naturally will not let go of the plan of the armed iron artillery team, this time the Miyoshi family invested a total of 2,000 iron cannons, and the Miyoshi family with the back of Sakai Town has a sufficient supply of iron cannons, which makes it take the lead on the battlefield.
The Hatakeyama family is actually not bad, Kii's Nerai has a rich iron cannon forging process, Kishu barrel is also second only to Sakai barrel of excellent iron cannons, and Neraiza is not only a master of forging iron cannons, but also an excellent mercenary, this time Hatakeyama Takamasa spent a lot of money to hire 1,500 Neraizhong, all of them equipped with their own production of Kishu tubes, becoming the main combat force of the Hatakeyama family.
The battle took place on October 28, and at the same time that a grand wedding was being held in Kyoto, a thrilling battle was also taking place at the Shogakuji Temple in Hanoi, and the battle lasted from early morning to evening, and the commanders of both sides threw all their reserves into the battlefield, shouting and fighting resounded through the wilderness, and finally the Miyoshi family relied on the 2,000-strong special force led by Matsunaga Nagayori to attack the flank of the Hatakeyama family, which had been tired from the battle, and finally defeated the Hatakeyama army in one fell swoop.
With the collapse of the Hatakeyama family's front army, the 30,000 army retreated like colliding dominoes in rows, Hatakeyama Takamasa had to flee back to Takaya Castle under the escort of his retainers, and the Miyoshi family took the opportunity to pursue and kill more than 2,000 people, and the Hatakeyama family died more than 4,000 people in this battle, and the number of seriously injured and wounded people who lost their combat effectiveness also exceeded 1 to 1, and this battle also greatly damaged the vitality of the Hatakeyama family.
Hosokawa Harumoto and Rokkaku Yoshiken's combined army is still slow to react, and when they receive the news, the Hatakeyama army has begun to collapse, seeing that the situation is not good, Rokkaku Yoshiken found his brother-in-law Hosokawa Harumoto to discuss countermeasures, and then the news of the outbreak of the Daning Temple broke out, and Rokkaku Dinglai, who has been in poor health since the beginning of the year, suddenly came to a critical illness notice, and this time Hosokawa Harumoto and Rokkaku Yoshiken did not hesitate to pull up the army and run away.
Sanjo Koyori is Hosokawa Harumoto's former father-in-law, and he and his current father-in-law adopted the youngest daughter of Sanjo Koyori, at this time Rokkaku Joyori suddenly became critically ill, and the two brothers ran back to Omi Province in panic like chickens who had lost their support, and as for the Hatakeyama family, they only sent a messenger to explain a few words casually.
Miyoshi Yoshiken, who commanded an army of 15,000, also had no intention of pursuing the Rokkaku family's army at all, and in order to deal with the army of the Hatakeyama family, he also wasted most of his time in the army, for which he also had to endure the miserable life of holding tea parties and song parties in front of the battle for half a year, surrounded by a bunch of reckless men who smelled of sweat and feet, Miyoshi Yoshiken felt that his olfactory system was almost collapsing.
The Miyoshi army won the battle, and more than 3,000 people were killed in the battle, but the number of wounded was also the same as the Hatakeyama family, and in general, winning the battle was not compensated.
The two sides fought to this extent, naturally it is impossible to continue to fight the danger, and there is only a choice to achieve harmony, but these two poles Hatakeyama Takamasa are defeated miserably, but he is an authentic stunned young man, gritting his teeth and resolutely not talking about harmony, which can make Miyoshi Changqing very sad, he really doesn't want to waste time on the Hatakeyama family like a dog skin plaster, so Miyoshi Yoshiken suggested that the idea be hit to the court.
Miyoshi Yoshiken invited Hino Na Yan Qing from the imperial court, he was the secretary of state who was scared away by the Miyoshi family to Nakao Castle, don't look at the big Na Na Yan in the court, in fact, some of them resigned after a year and a half or even three or two months, these ministers can also be called the Great Nayan, otherwise how can the position of those few Great Nayan be enough for so many public secretaries to share the profits.
Brought forward by Hino Harimitsu, Hatakeyama Takamasa discussed with Yasumi Soboichi and felt that it was better to borrow a slope to get off the donkey, so harmonious Everyone felt that it was quite face-saving, "Look, it's not that I want to be in harmony with you, it's the court that makes us harmonious, so let's make peace!" "The rest of the matter is hello, hello, hello, everyone, Hino Harumitsu eats and drinks and takes a hard money and leaves.
At the post-war evaluation meeting of the Miyoshi family, the ministers gathered a group of Yingge Yan dance, after half a year of war was finally relieved, not only the retainers were excited, even the Miyoshi Changqing was also very happy, he quickly listed the list of military merit rewards such as the first and second merits, and the retainers of the three good retainers were happy to receive the reward, and then directly held a lively dinner, and the samurai who had worked hard for most of the year were finally able to drink happily, and when everyone was happy, only Matsunaga Xiu was sullen alone.
