Chapter 365: Becoming a Great Lord
"How long has it been since the entire clan was escorted outside the Lion City, and what happened to the Tsuruta clan, Kamota, Tokushima, and Chinaga clans?" Thinking of this, Masato immediately asked.
"Your Highness, in accordance with your order, all the territories of these clans have been confiscated, and all their relatives have been scattered and resettled in various counties on a household basis. As for the samurai and Ashigaru who tried to resist, all the leaders have been killed, and the rest have been added to the slave ranks of the territory. The head of the family, as well as the male members of the clan, were slashed in the name of attempting rebellion." Togo Heiji immediately reported. There was a faint tremor in his voice, obviously thinking that it was too brutal to do so.
"Hmph, these wealthy families who are trying to resist stubbornly, the opinion of the subordinates is to directly cut them all down." Shinnosuke Akabane, who was more ruthless than Masaara, said directly.
Many retainers also nodded secretly when they heard this. During the Warring States Period, the struggle between the Hao clans was so cruel that they all took it for granted. Of course, among these retainers, excluding the Enjoji Nobuyin, Oda Masamitsu and Nabeshima Kiyofang, who had just surrendered, they were full of cold sweat. I was secretly glad that they had not been treated like this.
Masarashi actually agrees with Shinnosuke Akabane very much in his heart, but Masarashi prefers to narrow the scope of the scope of implication a little more, at least not to implicate the innocent.
"Hmm" Masara nodded, then took out an account book that Onishi Kuniji had sorted out for him, and said to Togo Heiji, "This account book records some wealthy clans in Ogi-gun, Saga Prefecture, Kanzaki Prefecture, and Fujitsu-gun, and these wealthy clans were scattered and resettled in Matsuura County and Kiteshima County according to the method of disposition. At the same time, some of the people who had already accepted their own laws were relocated from Matsuura-gun and Kitejima-gun to Ogi-gun, Saga-gun, Kanzaki gun, and Fujitsu-gun. "The purpose of this is to first put these wealthy families under the supervision of the people who already support the Luo family by relocating, so that they can lose the basis of rebellion, and secondly, by relocating some of the people who already support the Luo family to the newly occupied territory, so as to strengthen the rule and control of the newly occupied territory.
Although this is a bit of a waste of money and labor, it can completely solve the problem of the wealthy family. It's worth it, too. The so-called long pain is better than short pain, and that's it.
"Your Highness, in this way, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of food!" Togo Heiji said with a bitter face.
"Pull out 10,000 stone of civilian grain reserves to cope with this work." Masara said. Not counting the seizures in this raid, it was only before the clash with the Shao Erjia coalition forces. The Luo family's warehouse has a civil grain reserve of more than 37,000 stones. Totally enough for this placement. As for the loss of the autumn harvest of the people caused by this, Masahiro also thought of preparing to compensate for it.
"Before the migration, I will send the fifth standing ashigaru team led by Akuta to cooperate with you throughout the process." Masara continued. With such a forcible relocation, those wealthy families will definitely resist. Masato had to prepare for both.
"In addition, the population that has been looted back from the territory of the Shaoji family and the Kamidai family in Kanzaki County in the past few days will also be arranged in Matsuura County and Kiteshima County." Masato decided. Due to its relative poverty, Matsuura County has always been a relatively sparsely populated area, even after the relatives of the wealthy families scattered and migrated there. The actual increase in population is not too large, so it is only fitting that these looted people should be resettled there as well.
"Your Highness, what should be done with the important personnel of the various wealthy clans who are under house arrest?" Kuniji Onishi asked.
"Tell them directly how to deal with them, and if they are willing to cooperate, they can be properly dispersed, and these cooperating wealthy clans will assist in organizing the relocation; If you are not willing to cooperate, wait for their people to move away, and then arrange for them to return to the new resettlement place. Masato said. Without the hindrance of these guys, I believe the migration will be much smoother.
"After the resettlement is completed, personnel will be arranged to closely monitor the movements of these people. Once there is a change, directly crusade and obliterate it. Masato said. Strength is everything, and when he has overwhelming strength, Masashi will never be indecisive.
"Yes," Onishi received his order solemnly.
Zhengliang showed a rather tough attitude on the issue of resettlement of these wealthy families. The retainers saw this. I was secretly vigilant in my heart, and I was going to remind my respective clansmen after I went back, not to touch the lord's bottom line, otherwise it would likely lead to the death of the clan.
"Governance. The 10,000-stone territory from Yobuko Castle on the East Matsuura Peninsula to Miyajima Castle in Karatsu Bay will be handed over to you, so I will take care of it. "Settle those defeated nobles. Masahiro began to divide up. With the continuous expansion of the territory, the territory will definitely be divided into retainers.
"Heiji, the 13,000-stone territory in front of Shibo Mountain in the western part of the Higashi Matsuura Peninsula along the Karagawa River to the junction of Karatsu Bay and Chikuzen Province has been handed over to you, so I will take good care of it." Masara continued. In this way, in addition to the territories that had been divided among the orphans of Kosuke, Tsuda Hiromune, and Heisa Masatada, from the Higashimatsuura Peninsula to Karatsu Bay, Masarashi left the area around Notaka Mountain as a direct domain, and the rest of the territories were divided among the retainers.
"Ministers should serve their lives." The two said excitedly. Zhixing suddenly exceeded 10,000 stones, although according to the law of the territory, they can only take one-tenth of the income of these territories as the actual Zhixing, and there is no actual ownership, but this is also something they have never thought of in their lives, so they are very grateful in their hearts,
"Shizong, in addition to Imari Bay, I will also seal the territory from Imari City to Iimori City to you." In this way, the territory of the Kakukuma Stone Sect also has more than 8,000 stones.
"Nosuke, I will seal the territory between Lion City in Songura County and Senyu City in Ojo County to you." Shinnosuke Akabane also has a territory of more than 8,000 stones.
"Kinoshita Masanao, in addition to the territory near Karafune City, the territory between Karafune City and Hirota City will also be sealed to you." Combined, Kinoshita Masanao also has a territory of more than 7,000 stones.
"Yoshida Shigemasa, the territory between Takeo Castle and Ogi-gunsu Ancient City has been handed over to you." There is also a territory of more than 7,000 stones.
Immediately after, Masara sealed more than 5,000 stone territories near the former Hirado Castle in Matsuura County to the execution of the Kane; More than 5,000 stone territories between Wuwei Castle in Matsuura County and Iimori Castle in Biki County were sealed to Tomohisa Oishi; The territory of the Sasebo region of Biki-gun was given to Ueda Shinji; The territory of the original family of Kojo-gun, which was sealed to Uemura Mototsuna; The territory of the former Tsuruta family in Ojo County was sealed to Akuta; The territory of the former Yada family in Ojo County was sealed to Date Masahiro; The fief of the original Yongjia in Kojo County was sealed to Tetsunosuke; The former Hyaksamurai territory of Saga County was sealed to Isono Yuanchang; The territory of the Haranoda family in Saga County was sealed to Andel; Saga-gun's Harada Hira family territory was sealed to Murakami; The territory of the former Fukuchi family in Saga County was sealed to Sun Goro; The territory of the former Ishii family in Saga County was sealed to Guna Tong; The territory of the former Kubu Bai family in Saga County was sealed to Tao Masato; The territory of the original Nanli family in Zuojia County was sealed to Liu Le; The former Tatekawa family territory in Saga County was sealed to Aoyama Nobumoto; The former Uchida family territory in Saga County was sealed to Li Hongfei; The former Koga family domain in Saga County was sealed to the Egawa clan; The former Yokoo family territory of Saga County was sealed to a Shenglong; The former Jin family territory of Saga County was sealed to Duanmu Qingzheng; The territory of the former Kume family in Saga County was sealed to Hidemasa Mingfeng; The territory of the Gangjia family in the original village of Saga County was sealed to the flying section; The former Ota family territory in Saga County was sealed to Ahri; The former Masuda family domain of Saga County was sealed to Masamune of the Luo clan.
In addition, almost all of the retainers such as Kizuzo Shigetada, Kato Danzo, and Rashi Sasuke also received a thousand koku and a few hundred koku in the counties of Saka, Kanzaki, Matsuura, Kiteshima, Fujitsu, and Biki.
Masarashi left behind Kabe Island, Takashima, Fukushima, Hirado Island, Notakayama, and Kishigatake Castle in Matsuura County; The village castle, Mito Castle, and Saga Castle in Saga County were the main domains, and of course, in order to cope with the future sealing, Masarashi also entrusted the other part of the territory to the retainers in the vicinity.
Among the domains directly under the basic government, the Notakasan Lord's Mansion, Kishitake Castle, and Village Castle will be used as the lord's residence, and Mito Castle and Saga Castle will be used as the residence of the samurai regiment of Masarashi and the rest of the standing regiments. Kabe Island and Hirado Island will be used as foreign trade points; Eagle Island and Fukushima are the locations of the salt works.
Judging from the overall arrangement, Masato divided most of the territory into various retainers to manage. At the same time, in order to strengthen his control over the newly occupied territory, Masashi intends to move out of the old wealthy clans there, and then replace his own retainers with them, so as to achieve the purpose of control and avoid the restoration of some old powerful forces in the future. Moreover, in order to avoid the dominance of one family, there will be at least several retainers as neighbors around a retainer to achieve the purpose of mutual checks and balances. Coupled with the territory's detectives and Black Hawk, Masato believes that he has absolute control over the movements of all his retainers.
In terms of territory, Hizen Province has about 310,000 koku. At present, the Luo family controls the entire territory of the four counties of Matsuura-gun, Kishima-gun, Ogi-gun, and Saga gun; At the same time, it also controlled part of Kanzaki-gun, Fujitsu-gun, and Biki-gun. The four counties of Kizuki, Adoptive Father, Sangen, and Kanzaki are respectively occupied by the Ouchi family, the Shaoji family, the Chikushi family, the Kamiyo family, the Lingbe family, the Nishimuta family, and the Yokoki family, and the Ouchi family is the nominal master of these heroes. The three counties of Fujitsu, Takato, and Biki, in front of Minamihi, were occupied by the Arima family, the Yasutomi family, the Saigo family, the Omura family, and the Osaki family, respectively. In general, in the 310,000 stone high school in Hizen, the Luo family currently occupies about 220,000 stones, and the rest of the heroes together occupy about 90,000 stones.
The territory of 220,000 stones, according to the general standard of the Warring States Period, the Luo family is already a well-deserved Warring States daimyo.
