Chapter 735: The Man Behind the Scenes (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
In the city of Hizen National School in Kyushu, Masara is discussing with his retainers how to deal with the Sagara family.
"Now that it has been determined that Uemura Yorixing is dead, then there is no need to transport the corpse here, order Kai to send the corpse back to Sagara's house in person, Changzeng, you can go to Sagara's house to worship on my behalf." In this era, people have a special understanding of the dead, if the Sagara family is asked to transport Uemura Yorihew from Nanhigo to the Luo family's school castle, this is likely to cause controversy, and it will also make the Sagara family's retainers and lords dissatisfied, it is better to be a good person, let the Sagara family have a good burial, and at the same time send representatives of the Luo family to worship, in order to win over the Sagara family's retainers and lords.
"Yes!" At this time, Yoshioka Chozosu, who was promoted to serve with the army because of his mediation of the Satsuma Shimazu family, led the order. Then he hurried down and prepared to set off.
"My lord, what should be done with the Sagara family and the local wealthy clan who surrendered?" Togo Heiji asked.
"Hmm!" Zhengliang immediately groaned.
"After Sagara Yoshiji died, it seems that he left behind a family, and there seems to be a daughter among them, but is there such a thing?"
"Yes, after the death of Sagara Yoshiki, because Uemura Yoshiko and others were too hasty when they evacuated Minamihigo Eagle Peak Castle, they left Sagara Yoshiji's family behind, among them there was indeed a Sagara Yoshiki daughter named Chiyogi, and at this time they all settled in the castle town under Kishidake Castle." was asked by Masato like this, and Togo Heiji also remembered it.
"In that case, let Chiyoju inherit the position of the governor of the Sagara family, and at the same time divide the territory of the Sagara family that surrendered this time to her." Zhengliang immediately said. This Chiyo Kikumasarashi remembered that in order to consolidate the rule of the Sagara family in history. She was eventually married to Manmanmaru (Sagara Yoshiyo). Chiyogia is the main family of the Sagara family. And where Manmanmaru is located is a division of the Sagara family. The two are cousins of each other (Chiyo Kiku is a few days older than Manmanmaru). In the local area, as long as they are not brothers and sisters, they can get married.
"This? Lord, Chiyoju is only about six years old now, and he has not yet been able to inherit the position of family governor! Besides, what should the Sagara Haruhiro family, who are separated, do? The territory of this clan was divided into Chiyoju's own family.,I'm afraid this clan will be dissatisfied.。 Togo Heiji reminded. He didn't want Masarashi to plunge the hard-to-reach Dongqiumo County into civil strife because of the problem of disposal. Otherwise, it will cost manpower and material resources to pacify. And if it is handled in this way, it will not have a good impact on the reputation of Zhengliang. In the future, I am afraid that when other hostile forces surrender to the Luo family, they will have to hesitate again.
"Only six? How old is Sagara Haruhiro's sister-in-law now? "Masara only roughly knows the situation in Sagara's family, and as for the age of the main people among them, he really doesn't know, so he asked immediately.
"It seems that he is also about six years old, my lord, let's decide on the disposal of Sagara first." Togo Heiji was obviously a little dissatisfied when he saw that Masarashi did not seriously consider his suggestion, but instead cared about the age of these inconsequential children.
"Well, in that case. Before inheriting the family governor and the territory, let Chiyoju enter the Luo Academy to study. Zhengliang said immediately.
"Huh?" This time, not only Togo Heiji was surprised, but even Kansuke Yamamoto, who had been silent all the time, was surprised. After all, it's only a six-year-old little girl. What can she learn when she enters Roche Academy?
"Oh, that's right. Then leave her in the care of Miki and Nohime first. Anyway, the two of them seem to have been doing nothing again lately, so as not to cause trouble for me again. Let the two of them be Chiyoju's teachers. Before the Yuanfu, her territory was handed over to the Internal Affairs Pavilion to send someone to manage it on her behalf, and it would be transferred back to her after her Yuanfu. Masahiro also quickly realized the problem, so he quickly corrected it.
The two girls of Mei Ji and Nonghime are completely childlike.,After the excitement of the women's college.,,Started running around the castle again.。 During this period, the Internal Affairs Pavilion and the Intelligence Pavilion were jointly cleaning up the castle town, and the assassin's accomplice had not yet been found, so it was definitely not a safe thing to wander around at this time, so Masara simply gave the two of them this task.
Yamamoto Kansuke and Togo Heiji glanced at each other after hearing this, and also shook their heads slightly. For Mei Ji and Nonghime, the two famous "ghost queens" in the family, the two of them also have a headache, and they are really helpless when they see the head of the family arranging it like this. However, they were still dissatisfied with Chiyoju's arrangement, but for a while they couldn't think of a better way to resettle them, so they had to acquiesce in Zhengliang's decision. But where did they know that a few years later, Masashi was suffering from a headache for this decision that he thought he was proud of.
"My lord, what about the Sagara Haruhiro family?" Togo Heiji asked again. Seeing that the lord Masara was now determined to divide the current territory of the Sagara Qingguang clan out of the Lang, Togo Heiji didn't bother to touch the mold, so he simply asked about the disposal plan of the Sagara Qingguang clan.
"According to the method of transferring the seal without reducing the seal, transfer their territory to the territory of the only clan of Higo Hara Sagara Naga. Haruhhiro Sagara's sister-in-law was promoted to his own surname. "Masarashi finally determined the fate of the Sagara Haruhiro family.
The only clan of Sagara Naga was executed for rebellion, and now the territory of the Sagara Haruhiro clan is transferred there, which also has a warning meaning in it. In addition, the original Sagara Nagahiro clan has now been relocated, and the re-migrated people are some of the lords who support the Luo family, which is conducive to monitoring the Sagara Haruhiro clan (after being transferred to the local area, the Sagara Haruhiro clan also needs to abide by the laws of the Luo family and disband the family's army).
"My lord, this method of resettlement is very proper." Kansuke Yamamoto agreed. The transfer of the Sagara Haruhiro clan without reducing the feudal, and at the same time accepting Sagara Haruhiro's son-in-law as the small surname of the clan governor, helped to appease the Sagara Haruhiro clan. And the Sagara Chiyohiro clan was ordered to establish a new family governor, and it was divided into the territory of the original Sagara Haruhiro clan, which not only dispersed the strength of the Sagara family, but also avoided being scolded for being reclaimed for the Sagara Haruhiro clan (after all, even if the Sagara Haruhiro clan was transferred, the territory left behind was still obtained by the Sagara Chiyogia clan, which means that these territories were not separated from the Sagara family, and the people around them were naturally much more acceptable).
Of course, what Kansuke Yamamoto and Heiji Togo don't know is that Masarashi also plans to have a child with Sagara Risa in the future, so that this child will inherit the position of the governor of one of the Sagara families, so as to divide the strength of the Sagara family again.
Historically, the Sagara family belonged to the Taira clan during the Genpei War, so after the Minamoto Yoritomo Dynasty established the shogunate, the Sagara family was exiled to Higo Province on the island of Kyushu to serve as the head of the Taraki family, and was later divided into two families: the Kaminamira family of Taragiso and the Shiro Sagara family of Hitoyoshiso (in the future, the Uemura family was divided).
Sagara Takeren is the grandson of Sagara Yorikan, a lineage of Taragi from the Sagara family. In 1443, after the death of Sagara Mayori, the governor of the Sagara family at the time, his son, 11-year-old Sagara Yori, ascended the throne, and his young age led to family infighting.
The Sagara Yorikan and Sagara Yorisen of the Taragi Sagara family took the opportunity to attack and capture the main castle of Sagara Yoshijo. Later, he was attacked by the lord of Yamada Castle, Sagara Nagashi, and Sagara Yorikan was killed in the Battle of Sakumori. Subsequently, the Sagara of the Shiwara family continued to pursue the victory, and finally defeated the Kamisarashi family, and unified the three counties of Nanhigo Kuma, Yashiro, and Weibei. Sagara Yorikan's son, Sagara Masatomo, was then forced to flee to Ouchi's house for refuge. Sagara Takeren is the son of Sagara Masato, so he also came out of the Ouchi family. Now, Risa Sagara is Sagara Takeren's daughter again. From this point of view, the children of Masarashi and Sagara Risa can inherit the position of the governor of the Sagara family's Taragi clan (at present, the Sagara family is divided into the Uemura clan of Sagara Haruhiro, the Yoshimoto clan of Chiyogi, and the weakest of the three clans. At present, the Taragi clan is under the management of the Hitoyoshi clan).
"As for the wealthy families that originally belonged to the Sagara family, they were scattered and transferred to various parts of Higo and Chikugo countries." In the eyes of Uemura Yorixing, this group of wealthy clans that is difficult to dispose of is just a migration of the entire clan in the eyes of Masahiro.
"The specific location of the transfer will be jointly confirmed by the Cabinet of Internal Affairs and the Intelligence Cabinet, and then I will decide on it, and the security documents will be issued to them later. The Cabinet of the Interior must also immediately send someone to Nanfei to take over the local internal affairs. As for the issue of border guards, the 7th Standing Ashigaru Brigade was informed that Kai Jinnao, Takasaka Masanobu, Yoshikawa Kokei, Uemura Hontsuna, Okami Jinmasa, Honda Masanobu and others were informed, and Kai Jinnao, Yoshikawa Kokei, and Okami Zhenzheng led 250 standing troops and 2,000 peasant soldiers to garrison Nabejo Castle in Kuma County and Yokoya, Kusukeya, and Kushichi Pass bordering Western Hyuga and Northern Satsuma, mainly to guard against Satsuma and Hinata's wealthy clans; Masanobu Takasaka and Uemura Hontsuna led 250 standing garrisons and 1,000 peasant troops to garrison Minamata Castle in Reedhoku Prefecture, while Nakao Castle bordering Idezuzu-gun Castle in Satsuma and Oniyama Castle on the border with Oguchi Castle in Idezu-gun, mainly to guard against the Shimazu family in the Satsuma region. In addition, all the castles such as Hitoyoshi Castle, Kamimura Castle, and Okajo Castle were demolished. "Even if you have formed an alliance with some local forces, you can't relax your surveillance on them.
"Yes." Togo Heiji and Yamamoto Kansuke immediately received the order. Then the two of them also went down to arrange Fang Cai Zhengliang's order.
"My lord, this is information from the Assassin's mouth." After Togo Heiji and Yamamoto Kansuke left, Fei Duan, who had been waiting outside for a long time, came in to report. During this time, Fei Duan was responsible for interrogating the assassin who assassinated Masayo. Immediately, Fei Duan handed a book in his arms to Shijiro beside him.
"Oh?" Masarashi took the book presented by Shijiro (i.e., Yamanaka Yukimori) and opened it to read it.
"They are behind it?" (To be continued......)
