212th Reward of the Imperial Court
With the rapprochement between the shogunate and the Miyoshi family, the imperial court made a reward for meritorious service, first of all, Konoe Haruki, who presided over the collegial merit, was transferred to the second left minister, Sekihaku Xuan, and it has been confirmed that he will be promoted to one at the end of the year, which is a great recognition of Konoe Haroji by the imperial court.
In a sense, Konoe Harusu was the biggest winner in this war, because his two righteous brothers, Ashikaga Yoshito and Kira Yoshitoki, performed well, and the shogunate they represented won an epic victory, and with the Konoe family's in-law relationship with Ashikaga Yoshito, as well as Kira Yoshitoki's engagement with the daughter of the Konoe family, it is not surprising that the imperial court reciprocated the favor of the Konoe family.
Then there was Ashikaga Yoshito, the shogunate official was finally promoted to the official rank, and the left lieutenant general, who had served as a senator for many years, was promoted to the three Kazuda Nayan, and the right guard general, and the authority and status of the shogunate were fully recognized by the imperial court, at least he was able to have the same official rank as his dead father Ashikaga Yoshiharu when he was alive, which was also a sign of the increase in the authority of the shogunate.
Then the next reward was the greatest merit of the collegiate Ji Liang Yoshito, who was promoted to the fourth rank of the lower left guard governor, and was promoted to the fourth rank at the young age of only twelve years old, and he was already able to catch up with the promotion speed of the minister's lineage, of course, this also caused the envy and jealousy of many people, not only in the shogunate's prestige, but also in the imperial court, and became a well-known samurai in the sea.
When the shogunate wanted to take out something to reward Yoshiyoshi Yoshi, but they were shy in their pockets, and they had been thinking about forming a direct army with a little money, and Ashikaga Yoshito immediately said that in a few years, Yoshitoki would be appointed as an honorary deputy general, perhaps because of this kind of empty vernacular that seemed to promise him a little uncomfortable. He was then allowed to use the same Ashikaga Shogun's own Ashikaga Nichibi Banner Seal. It is equivalent to the shogunate's full recognition of the special status of the Ashikaga family.
After the war, the Kira family was in turmoil. The excess number of wounded soldiers filled all the medical halls in Kyoto, and the Kira family urgently transferred doctors from Sakamoto to assist in the treatment of the wounded soldiers, in addition to the 30,000 kan money given by Miyoshi Nagakei, the Kira army also obtained from the indiscriminate capture of these three battles, 5,200 complete armor and weapons, more than 3,800 well-made long handles, and 533 Oshu war horses, equivalent to about 45,000 kan.
To reward meritorious officers. The Kira family simply took out all the ransom money of the Miyoshi family and rewarded the three armies, and the 30,000 kan money was divided equally among the 6,300 people, with an average of less than 5 kan per person, and if the samurai's extra share was removed, each ashigaru would be able to get 3 kan money, even if the money was small, it was enough to make them feel satisfied.
The best two thousand sets of armor weapons obtained were selected and sealed, so that the complete sets of weapons and equipment in the Kira family's inventory were as huge as 7,000 sets, and these weapons only needed to be taken out to dry, and then repaired and painted with matching paint before they could continue to be used. The number of armaments is also a benchmark for measuring the military strength of a samurai, and the Kira family is a powerful daimyo who does not need to bring their own weapons and equipment
As long as there are enough elite soldiers. Then you can pull up a terrible army, and the rest of the equipment is handed over to the Biwa House for sale, this large number of equipment ordinary merchants and daimyo cannot afford to eat, and the daimyo such as the Rokkaku family in Kinai do not have an urgent need to expand the army, and the buyers are obviously only the Miyoshi family, which is greatly injured.
As soon as this batch of equipment was launched, it was packed and eaten by the royal merchants of the Miyoshi family, and they did not hesitate to pay a high price of 32,000 kan, so that the pension was available, and all the 32,000 kan was left for the widows of more than 2,700 war dead to share, and the widows of each victim could get an average of ten kan of money, and the samurai who died in battle could also get an additional pension ranging from 20 kan to 30 kan.
Such a high proportion of pensions, even higher than the reward of the living, but there is not a trace of opposition in the entire Kira family, everyone is a villager to fight for the lord as a soldier, if you die on the battlefield in an unknown way, the wife and children of the family are not settled, the best result is to remarry someone else, the worse self-reliance struggles below the poverty line, and the worse is only the family is ruined.
But no matter how you calculate it, it's a loss.,That's why the Warring States Period existed in the high-level battle to the death.,Ashigaru can't do it without distractions.,The first thing to think about when fighting is how to save your life and survive.,People are selfish.,They are afraid that if they die, the whole family will be gone.,So run slower when charging.,When fighting.,Turn around and run when you encounter a headwind.,Finally, become the culprit of the destruction of the thousand-mile embankment in the anthill.。
The biggest effect of the high pension is to let these people charge bravely, and there is no need to fear that the wife and children will not be located after death, even if the wife remarries someone else, your son will inherit your blood when he grows up, the son of the samurai can be allowed to restore the family name, and it doesn't matter if the peasant does not have a surname.
These grief-stricken widows will soon have their new husbands, newly recruited samurai and ronin from Kinai, Omi and Mikawa provinces, as long as they pass the strict review of the Kira family's monomi and then be put into the reserve for three months of training, they will be qualified to take the lead in marrying a wife, the temptation to marry a wife is too great, you must know that in the Warring States period, ordinary people rarely had the possibility of getting married before the age of 26, and being able to marry a wife became the motivation for the peasants to fight for it.
These widows not only satisfy their desire to marry wives, but also the adopted sons of the widows can also solve the problem of the heirs of these singles, and the samurai family also has a competition for the inheritance of the family business, and it doesn't matter between the peasants, it is better to have a ready-made wife and children than to be alone.
The remarriage of the widows of the war dead and the acceptance of the new samurai also became a rule in the Kira family, and the original intention of this rule was to take care of the families of the victims, and beware of being plundered and bullied by wild ambushes and bandits roaming the countryside.
Both the shogunate and the Miyoshi family stopped, only Rokkaku Yoshiken shouted that he wanted to continue to take revenge, and ran to the shogunate to discuss revenge with Ashikaga Yoshito, and it was best to defeat Mitsuki, even if it didn't work, he would recapture the claustrophobic Hosokawa Harumoto, but could Ashikaga Yoshito agree? Nominally, Hosokawa Harumoto was one of the conditions for peace talks.
In fact, it was Ashikaga Yoshito who kicked him out, in order to let Rokkaku Yoshiken continue to find trouble with the Miyoshi family and share the excess pressure on the shogunate. So in the face of the proposal of Yoshiken of the six corners. Ashikaga Yoshito kept complaining. There were no soldiers and no food, and the people who had just finished fighting the war were not sure to start the war rashly, and they couldn't get the answer they wanted, and the hexagonal Yixian could only leave angrily.
He also found Hatakeyama Takamasa of the Hatakeyama family in Hanoi, and wanted to persuade him to do the great cause of rebelling against the Miyoshi family together, but he was rejected on the spot, and the next Rokkaku Yoshiken couldn't understand it, and asked: "Why did Takayademen refuse?" Miyoshi Chokei was in harmony with the shogunate. It is bound to attack other countries in Kinai, Tanba must be the first, and Hanoi is bound to be among them, not to mention that Takayaden had a war with Miyoshi Changqing last year, and he has already hated him, if Takayaden can't prepare early, it will be too late to regret it later......"
"Don't talk to me about this! I was deceived, and now I'm sad, don't tell me anything! Hatakeyama Takamasa covered his head and ignored his words, almost making Rokkaku Yoshiken mad.
“…… The high house just said that he was deceived? What's going on? ”
"Because His Highness deceived me! This is what the main hall of Matsunaga Dan of the Miyoshi family told me...... "Hatakeyama Takamasa has finally found a suitable object to complain about. Then Balabala spewed out Matsunaga's persuasion and a bunch of complaints.
"What? If Matsunaga Xiu said Takaya Temple, he believed it? ”
"What? He's right, why don't I believe him? Hatakeyama looked at him suspiciously. The heart says you won't be stupid.
"You red deer! Look what I do! Are you stupid and suspect that others are just as stupid as you? "Hexagon Yixian is very similar to spraying this guy's saliva, but fortunately, his cultivation is good and endured, at first glance it feels incredible, first of all, he even dares to believe what Miyoshi Changqing's cronies and ministers said, no matter how true this is to say that this guy is stupid enough.
He didn't expect the shogunate to be so smart, and the promise of giving the leader was indeed quite tempting, if it weren't for his brother-in-law and nephew, even Rokkaku Yoshiken would have to think about whether he could help this guy.
It seems that this Hatakeyama Takamasa is very easy to deceive, and Rokkaku Yoshiken thought of how to deceive him back, so he said with a clear conscience: "Hosokawa Harumoto, that guy has been locked up, and now the new leader of the shogunate is the Hosokawa clan, the former lackey of your Hatakeyama family, and if you defeat Miyoshi Chokei, the position of the leader will really be yours." ”
Liujiao Yixian made a distressed expression and said, "So His Royal Highness didn't deceive the High House Palace!" It is indeed the evil of the high house hall that mistakenly went to the pine permanent show! You must know that Namatsu Naga Xiu is a close and important minister of Miyoshi Changqing, and what he said must have ulterior motives! The intention was to drive a wedge between the Hatakeyama family and the shogunate, and Takayaden was deceived by the people of the Miyoshi family! ”
"What? I was deceived by Matsunaga Shu? Did I misunderstand His Royal Highness? As soon as Hatakeyama Takamasa heard that Ashikaga Yoshito hadn't lied to him, he couldn't calm down at once, and when the shogunate and His Royal Highness needed him the most, he chose to watch from the sidelines, and missed the best opportunity to help the shogunate, how much self-blame and remorse he felt in his heart, and then hated Matsunaga Shu who deceived him even more.
"Damn Miyoshi Chokei, damn Matsunaga Hide! I remember you! After Hatakeyama Takamasa vented his anger that had been accumulated for many days, he immediately summoned his retainers and said that he would send an envoy to Kyoto to apologize to the shogunate. ”
"Don't worry! Miyoshi Changqing is a very difficult enemy to deal with, and what Takayaden has to do is to convince all his retainers to support you first. Rokkaku Yoshiken continued to flicker: "Once Sanzhu defeats Tanba, he will turn around and invade the former enemy Hanoi country, presumably the people of Hanoi still remember the battle of the relics temple, right?" Speaking of which, the people of Hanoi have a life-and-death enmity with the Miyoshi family, and with the character of Miyoshi Changqing who will be revenged, he will definitely take revenge and come back! ”
Hatakeyama Takamasa suddenly became excited, waved his arms and said loudly, "Yes! Simply right! Miyoshi Changqing will not let us go! It's absolutely not okay not to play three good homes! ”
"And the genealogies of the Hatakeyama family must not be willing to lose their authority, right? Even if the three buildings are surrendered and secured, they will inevitably be stuffed into the retainers of the Miyoshi family to interfere in all domestic affairs, where is the status of the genealogy inherited by the previous generation more stable? This point must be made clear to Yasumi Misamoru, Tange Bichumori and Yusa Kawauchi Mamoru that as long as they say so, they will definitely support Takayaden's decision! ”
Hatakeyama patted his chest and promised, "Hmm! I Gao Zheng understands! Please rest assured, my Hatakeyama family is united, and I will definitely defeat Miyoshi and help the shogunate! ”
"Humph! Isn't it a little late to shout this slogan now? Rokkaku Yoshiken sneered while smiling and continued: "The next thing is to find a strong ally, such as the Rokkaku family where my Yoshiken is located, my father Ding Lai Gong is the shogunate leader, and he has made great contributions to the Wansong Temple, who knows that Miyoshi Changqing actually took away the management leader today, it is really unbearable!" Therefore, I am willing to defeat the three pillars with the allies at the end of the high house hall, and in the future, the management will return to the high house hall, and I, Yixian, will serve as the management leader, and you and I will equally divide the three building territories, wouldn't everyone be happy? ”
"Yes! The territories of Santsuku, Settsu, Izumi, and Tanba were equally divided...... That's right! And Awaji, Awa, Sanuki! As long as these countries are divided, my Hatakeyama family will be able to restore the glory of their ancestors! Hahaha......" Hatakeyama Takamasa was attracted by the beautiful picture he depicted, and couldn't help but start to get obscene.
“…… Ahem! Rokkaku Yoshiken almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and it was still a matter of no score to fight the three good families, and he dared to calculate the territory of the four countries in Hatakeyama Takamasa, so he hurriedly interrupted: "In short, last year, the high house hall just finished a battle, and need to recuperate, and Sanzhu is also hiding in Settsu to hold out, this year is not a good opportunity to send troops, everything will wait until next year, before what I have to do is to recuperate, build a city, train the army, and prepare for the next year!" ”
"Hmmm! I Gao Zheng understands! Please rest assured, my Hatakeyama family will definitely be able to do it! Hatakeyama Takamasa felt that it was very reasonable, so he left in a hurry with these strategies.
Rokkaku Yoshiken got up and left Takaya Castle with a smile on his face, but sneered in his heart: "Fortunately, this Hatakeyama Takamasa is enough to give me the opportunity to show my strategy!" Everyone in the world says that I am a fool, and I am a heroic figure of the righteous and virtuous generation, where can I compare with the generations of Asai Hisamasa and Hatano Harumi? Hum! Sanhao Changqing, you just wait! ”
Not to mention that although his head is not easy to call, but the execution is really strong, it only took half a month to solve the problem of the Hanoi people, for which Tange Beichu Moritsu Shengzhi also went to Kitaki to do the work of the local people, and the Tsutsui family of the Yamato country that cooperated last year was also pulled in, and the Hatakeyama family and the Tsutsui family became allies to watch each other, and the people of the Yamato country can be mobilized in the future, and it is not clear what price the Hatakeyama family paid for this.
Kira Yoshitoki returned to Sakamoto Castle, when he fought the battle, Shiga and Takashima counties had already had a bumper harvest, because the fertilization and weeding were done in a timely manner, this year's grain output increased by more than 30% on average compared with previous years, and the direct collar of Kira Yoshitoki was basically a plain high-yield area, so the income from the autumn harvest was extraordinarily large.
