In the next few days, Kira Yoshitoki has been relying on Daitoku Temple to communicate with Nagao Jinghu, of course, one of the main purposes is to see Huya Mei, but it's a pity that Huya Mei is very cold to him, in his eyes, this noble son of the Kyoto Kira family is a stupid person with strange eyes, always staring at him intentionally or unintentionally.

Long-tailed Jinghu also seemed to notice his abnormal performance, and when he had nothing to do, he pulled his sister aside to be a listener, and he didn't know if he wanted to improve the relationship between the two, or in order to cultivate his sister, he feasted his eyes on Ji Liang Yoshishi, which also made Huya even more unhappy.

"Forty-two! Your home improvement looked back at me forty-two times! The long-tailed tiger her, who couldn't bear it anymore, finally broke out, stood up and said, "Brother! Tiger Ji has had enough! It's time to get out! ”

"Good! I just want to go out, so why don't Her Royal Highness the princess join me!" Kira Yoshitoki said with a shy face.

"Don't!" The long-tailed tiger queen ran out with a gorgeous turn, leaving Kira there stunned.

"Tiger Queen! You come back to me......" Long-tailed Jinghu hurriedly got up and wanted to chase after him, but the helpless thing was the injury of his left foot that fell from the early years of the three-way long-tail family, not to mention the insulation, sometimes it rains and snows and the cold air enters the body, and the left foot will be painful and unable to walk normally, so he can only walk with a bamboo cane.

Kira Yoshishi sat back awkwardly and continued: "Uh, it's okay, I still have questions to ask about the main hall!" ”

During this month, Nagao Keitora walked through Yamato Province to see Kofukuji Temple, visited Master Obayashi Sotau in Izumi Province, and also saw the prosperity of Sakamoto and Otsu on the ship, and along the way, he also knew the great differences between the prefectures and countries in Kinai, among which the territory under the Kira family was the richest. This shows how powerful the Kira family's level of governance is.

Sakamoto Joshita Town was also governed by Kira Yoshitoki for several years. It has changed from a waterway hub in the Lake Biwa area to a Kyoto town with Kyoto. One of the three major commercial centers in Sakai Town in Osaka Bay, which can already be described as an economic miracle, Kira Yoshitoki has too much aura on his body to not only make outsiders curious, but also make people unable to see the inside story.

Therefore, Kira Yoshitoki comprehensively expounded his own political and economic reforms, and in the process of explaining to Nagao Jinghu, he was also sorting out and reflecting on his own governance ideas. There will be some deviations in the transmission of the decree of the newly annexed territory of Takashima County, and the reason for this is that the local government of the national lord is at fault.

This is still his personal trust to completely abolish the power of the guardian envoy, the followers of the Kira family will go down to the village at any time to investigate, and if the problem is found, it will be dealt with on the spot and supervised by the elders of the village in the village, and the judgment is fair and convincing to the rich people.

But in this way, the control of the place is still stretched, because the territory is still the lord of the country, and the annual tribute is not in the hands of the Kira family, and the land inspection can only establish military service, but the Kira family does not use military service at all. It completely relied on the conscription system to go on the expedition, so the resistance of the countrymen lords to the land seizure was not strong. However, the landed lords were very conservative, and their lack of implementation of the Kira family's decrees, their lack of resoluteness, and incomplete obedience were also the fundamental reasons why Takashima-gun was always inferior to Shiga-gun.

Even so, the whole of Takashima Prefecture has great respect and trust in the Kira family, which is also the main issue that Nagao Keitora wants to discuss, how to get the lords of the country to cooperate with the decree of the lord, and how to break the power that guards the inaccessibility, this issue is very complicated, and Kira Yoshitoki will not be able to tell him for a while, because no one knows what form Echigo country is.

In the past few days, Kira Yoshishi has been eating and living in Daitoku Temple, and he is embarrassed to eat white food, so he sealed one hundred Yongle money as sesame oil money to Daitoku Temple, since the day before after the long-tailed tiger Ji shook his face on the spot and went crazy, Kira Yoshishi was much more careful when he saw her, at least he would not stare at her blatantly.

When the long-tailed tiger Ji showed her little tiger teeth to scare Ji Liangyi, she thought in annoyance: "Damn, he sneaked over again!" Really! ”

"Uh...... Where did you just go? Oh yes! It's time to talk about the military system of the Kira family! "The long-tailed tiger queen posed as such a cute animal, and she also made Kira Yoshitoki so cute that she almost forgot the words that came to her mouth.

"Let's talk about the recruitment system of my Kira family and the system of high pensions, all the merits of the soldiers who died in the war are calculated in the same way, and they will be given ten times at a time, and those who are disabled and lose their combat effectiveness but do not affect their labor will be given a five-time pension, and enter the reserve regiment of the Kira family as an instructor and continue to receive three people to support rice, of course, those who do not want to be in the military can also enter the direct collar of the Kira family according to their personal choice to participate in labor ......"

People who have lost their labor force, such as those who lack arms and legs, are given ten kanwen at a time, and are responsible for serving as a police officer in the township, responsible for handling civil and criminal disputes in the countryside, and have the authority to arrest and interrogate, and belong to the public security commission, and Sakamoto and the castle town of Katata have been initially connected.

The security office was located in the weak point of the new connection between the two places, and a large number of disabled soldiers were properly housed by the security office, these people were veterans who survived the battlefield, and they were very loyal to the Kira family, although it was somewhat inconvenient to move, but it was more than enough to deal with those who were petty people.

"This is a very good strategy! I'm going to learn from it! Changwei Jinghu immediately stroked his palms and admired, and then frowned again: "But my long-tail family really lacks political and strategic talents, and several of the genealogy ministers in the spring mountain city are also powerful lords of the counties, if the genealogy ministers feel that their family's decree is inappropriate, they will not hesitate to refuse to implement it, and the family has no way to do anything about it!" ”

Seeing the gaze cast by Nagao Jinghu, Kira Yoshitoki shrugged his shoulders and said that he couldn't help it, Echigo was far away in Hokuriku, what could he do as a samurai in Kyoto? It is impossible to break the incurable diseases of Echigo with a single finger, and he is not Zhuge Liang who is wise and close to the demon.

Seeing that a strategy didn't work, he continued to discuss the issue of the military system, and the recruitment system at the time of Kira Yoshishi was not his first creation, and the imperial court in the Heian period also learned from the Tang and Song dynasties to establish a recruitment system, but because the military system was corrupted, the soldiers fled and then the system collapsed, but the recruitment system at the time of Kira Yoshishi was different from the one hundreds of years ago, so the exaggerated method of raising troops is really surprising, and of course, the terrible combat effectiveness is also surprising.

Kira Yoshitoki then discussed with him the subtleties of the strategy of streamlining the army. The conscription of large numbers of peasant soldiers would not do anything good. On the contrary, it will also affect the normal development of the territory. In order to ensure that local development is not affected by the dual demographic and economic effects caused by frequent wars, it is inevitable that the strategy of elite troops will be proposed.

His strategy of currying elite soldiers is not suitable for other lords, because his two standing guards are based on a large number of direct leaders in Mikawa Province and Shiga Prefecture, and it is impossible to talk about this elite strategy without the support of strong financial resources, but it is not impossible for Echigo to do, at least it can be done by lowering the requirements.

For example, each soldier supports rice, and the daily training and food supply and wartime rice supply are paid by the lord of the country, so that some landless homeless, criminals, and mountain people will join. Then to assist the monks in the education of gods and Buddhas, only need to shout a few simple slogans such as gods and Buddhas bless, and then preach some Dharma guidance that meets the requirements of the lord, with strict management and harsh training, it will not take a year to become a combatable army.

Of course, these are all things he talks about on paper.,It's too troublesome to train soldiers.,He never manages it personally.,Anyway, there are a bunch of capable ministers under him.,For example, Yamamoto Kansuke and a bunch of his assistants are all good at being grass-roots instructors.,Except for the monks of Miaoyun Temple who like to participate in Zen and are a little weak.,It's okay.。

I don't know how. When the two talked about the issue of the sub-sealing system, Kira Yoshitoki made it clear that it was imperative to divide the feud. However, the lord must ensure that he has more than a quarter of the direct shares, otherwise it will not have a deterrent effect on the people under his jurisdiction.

For example, Nagao Jinghu is like this now, the total stone height of Echigo is 390,000 stones, and the Nagao family in the Fuchu is only 50,000 stones, of which 15,000 stones are the part given by Uesugi Dingmi after recognizing him as the lord of Echigo, before that, the Nagao family only had 35,000 stone territory, less than one-tenth, at most it was a large national lord.

The current situation is not very optimistic, even if it is a national lord who has increased a size, one-eighth of the direct collar is not enough for him to take the initiative, especially in the Shimoetsu area, the terrain is complex, the composition of the lord is also complicated, and the relationship with Dewa and Mutsu is close, the most important thing is that the group of samurai named "Yangbei Zhong" fights bravely, all of them are fierce generals, and it has always been a pit to disobey the Echigo guard.

Nagawei Jinghu frowned and said: "Military service is still necessary, and the power of the lord of the country also needs to be relied on, although the 'non-offense' is not very reliable, and it is imperative to abolish the power of the guardian envoy, but it is really not advisable to rashly change the feudal system, I think it is better to let them develop on their own, as long as the lord of the country has enough righteous name to control the territory." ”

Kira Yoshitoki expressed his disdain for this statement, and directly retorted: "What is the existence of this level of the wealthy clan servant? Presumably, the main hall also knows what virtue it is! How much combat effectiveness can these peasant soldiers, who usually bend down and plough the fields, carry guns and charge in wartime? They may still be thinking about the mother-in-law at home is going to give birth, whether it is a male baby or a female baby, the grain in the field should be watered, did the mother-in-law remember to water, in case she dies on the battlefield, the mother-in-law remarries another man, and it becomes someone else's sleep and her mother-in-law beats her own baby, isn't this a cheat? ”

The long-tailed tiger Ji burst out laughing, and the long-tailed Jinghu was also made to cry and laugh by his strange metaphor, although the two brothers and sisters didn't understand what "pit dad" meant, but they generally understood what he meant, the combat effectiveness and quality of the peasants and soldiers were completely unreliable, but the Chinese people should not be like this.

Nagao Jinghu asked: "But the lord of the country is also a samurai class, shouldn't he serve the lord of the family?" ”

"Is the lord of the countryman your retainer? If so, why is there still a guardian faction, a guardian faction? Yang Beizhong who neutrally plays soy sauce? If the righteousness is reliable, the public and the rulers of the Kanto region will not decline, and the imperial court and shogunate will not decline, so why should people listen to you if they don't have real power? Kira scoffs at this pedantic thinking.

"Having said that, I Jinghu thinks that the 'Dao' in the heart of the martial artist still has to be adhered to! The way of the samurai family is to do the righteousness of the world, aren't Wuweidian and I, Jinghu, constantly working hard for the revival of the shogunate for this reason? The long-tailed Jinghu was also in a hurry, and even changed his self-title back to his original name.

"Now we will only discuss the essence of the Chinese people, and we will not talk about the general righteousness first." Kira shook his head and said: "Once the retainers have land, they will begin to change to the level of the lord of the countrymen, and there may be several generations of loyal vassals, but once the lord of the country acts detrimental to their interests or at least has this intention, these loyal retainers will immediately turn into the vanguard of rebellion against you, what is the reason for this?" Or because they have land, they have an entanglement of interests with the land, every day they calculate how much grain they can collect in the field, and the first thing they think of in a famine year is to rely on the various taxes levied by the lord of the country.

Some of these people may be loyal to the Nagao family for the pursuit of martial arts, but in the final analysis, it is still to ask for more Zhixing to increase the seal, from the small lord to the big lord, without Zhixing to increase the seal, will he support the Danzheng Palace? Isn't the dominance of the Long Tail family still shaken? Why did I write to say that in the war against Shinano, you must give enough benefits to the countrymen lords of the Nagao family? There is no interest in anyone fighting with the longtail family, can Dayi take care of food? The crops in their own fields are almost barren, and it is definitely a problem with their heads to go on an expedition with the Nagao family. ”

Long-tailed Jinghu was also attracted by his description, and shook his head in contemplation for a moment, and said with a smile: "This is the first time I've heard of this statement. ”

"The Uesugi family mobilized 80,000 troops to fight Heyue back then, didn't they still promise to divide the Hojo family as long as they conquered it, otherwise how could 80,000 people come? Although the astronomical rebellion in the eastern country was vigorous this time, and the 100,000 army rushed to the pigs, but they were not from each other and had differences in the distribution of the territory, and they were easily defeated by the Hojo clan, how much power do you think the countryman lord contributed to you? Ji Liang Yoshishi, who had entered the state, also became sharp, and the long-tailed Jinghu was silent in thought.

The faint sound of chanting from outside the house floated into the room, and after a while, the long-tailed Jinghu said, "...... Do you mean that conscription is imperative? ”

"Hmmm! The direct ministers are different, for example, all the retainers of my Kira family are directly direct, and they only need to receive the money from their own family, and this is also the place where Shiqing Shilu has been for generations, and there is a land in name in the direct collar of the family, and the actual ownership of the land is still owned by the family, as long as they do not make unforgivable mistakes, or they have no children to cut off the heirs, they can inherit this land from generation to generation, and their descendants will succeed each other.

This is also called Jialu, that is, no matter whether your performance is competent or not, this salary is still yours, and there is also a copy of the Zhilu, according to the status of the official rank, and then receive a job, the Jialu increases and is cautious, and the post is much more relaxed. (To be continued......)

PS: Talking about reform with the Echigo military god...... The impact is very strong!
