Chapter 302: Overwhelming
Even so, as long as the merit is not so great as to be amazing, it will not give land at all, but will give all kinds of money and family treasures!
Because the custom here in Fuso is that as long as the land is granted, it has nothing to do with your master's family. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info: The harvest of the land and the military service have nothing to do with your master's family. They are completely a small force with their own internal affairs.
And this kind of small force, if you want to deprive other people of their land, it is a very troublesome thing. It's not that you can deprive someone if they betray you, but you have to defeat the other party, and this defeat is not just to defeat him, but to defeat all the small forces that are related to this small force and have a sense of physical injury!
Generally speaking, it is a series of troubles to hit one. Many of the heads of the samurai families wanted to show their prestige, so they found the weakest samurai to do it, but the retainers all turned against and besieged the head of the family at the same time.
There are several consequences, one is that the head of the family hangs up and is replaced by a friendly head of the house. One is that the head of the family admits instigation, and in the future, the family will be in power as a retainer council. One is that no one can help anyone, and the originally large and unified family directly collapsed and fell apart.
Well, the Kurokawa family belongs to the last type, and the Kurokawa family has fallen from the original domination of the Kurokawa River basin and even the daimyo of the lord of the mountain spring country to the small daimyo of Kurokawa Castle, which is the reason why a certain generation of family heads messed up and made powerful retainers independent.
Saying so much means that the land in Fuso is extremely precious, and every stone of land is worth anyone's life to maintain.
So when the news of Zhang Zhongjun's wanton land reward leaked out, how shocking it was, and how desperate it was for the samurai family who faced the soldiers of the Kurokawa family.
Because idiots know that the five princes and five people are only enough to seduce the farmers and townspeople, and the lavish land reward is enough to attract the samurai and those village heads, and no samurai will dislike having more territory!
Even the samurai looked like they were in a state of flux, and those peasant soldiers were looking forward to the arrival of the Kurokawa banner one by one, how could this battle be fought? I'm afraid that as soon as the Kurokawa banner appeared, those damned samurai and peasant soldiers would immediately fight back so that they could use their old lives to earn meritorious service!
But what should I do now? I will gather all the troops, and the result must be a dowry for the Kurokawa family! Escape? Where can I escape? People I am familiar with, and people who are willing to accept me, are all on the attack route of the Kurokawa family!
And the samurai family is out of their own territory, and even the dehaired chicken is not as good!
However, this distress did not stay in the minds of these frightened warriors for long, and they couldn't beat the other party's loyalty, and they bent their knees to become courtiers, which was too common and too frequent in this troubled world of Fusang. Bending the knee in the morning, bending the knee at noon, and rebelling and independence at night is really not too much.
As soon as the idea of surrender appeared, I immediately felt that my eyes lit up, yes, my ancestors were still courtiers of the Kurokawa family, and I really said that I was still a retainer of the Kurokawa family!
So it's not a surrender, it's just that the old ministers are returning to the Lord's house!
Thinking about it like this, I felt relieved, and immediately summoned all the retainers to announce that I would return to the Kurokawa family! That's right, it's a return, it's definitely not surrender, and you can't use the wrong word!
Seeing that after his announcement, some of those courtiers breathed a sigh of relief, and some actually showed disappointed looks, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.
Damn, I know that your disappointed look is not because your family will not be an independent daimyo, but because you are disappointed that you can't sell your family to the Kurokawa family as a meritorious service, right?!
However, this samurai also breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't know if he would have been caught by these damn bastards on the spot if he had announced his return to the Kurokawa family at a later pace.
Because as soon as he sat down, he saw several retainers close to him making eye contact with each other, and he could faintly hear the sound of metal knocking outside!
In fact, the samurai closest to the Kurokawa family's soldiers announced that they would return to the Kurokawa family, and it was already too late, and the village heads and the like who surrendered below him had already kowtowed under the Kurokawa banner.
Just kidding, the preciousness of land and the difficulty of obtain, no one knows better than these lowly-level land-owning warriors, their ancestors have been working hard for this hundred stones and two hundred stones for hundreds of years, racking their brains to protect the territory while thinking about expansion, but being able to keep the old capital is already the blessing of the heavens!
Now that I hear that the Kurokawa family has wantonly canonized land, as long as they make meritorious service, they will be rewarded, and even the peasants and soldiers will be directly rewarded with a few stones of land for meritorious service, where will these village heads and village heads who are extremely eager to expand their family business care about the master's family? Where will they care about whether the five princes and five people will harm their own interests?
If you really want to talk about it, the five princes and five people didn't hurt these village heads and village heads very much, because the lowest-level warriors like them were actually like farmers, hungry and full, but they had one more opportunity to fight and develop than farmers.
When a farmer makes meritorious service as a peasant soldier, it is very likely that most of the rewards at the top will be scraped off by the middle and bottom layers, but they are low-level samurai, and no one will grab the meritorious rewards, but the sad thing is that the rewards at the top are always stingy. The family business has not increased by a stone for hundreds of years, it is all over the world, and it is already a hero to be able to keep the family business unchanged!
Now there is such an opportunity to increase the family business in front of me, who is still worried about so much!
And these samurai who surrendered also had a very cunning mentality. That is, Fuso's sub-feudal system is independent.
For example, if the Kurokawa family is defeated, as long as they leave the Kurokawa family before the Kurokawa family is defeated, or if they join the victor when they are defeated, then their knowledge and deeds will not be deprived by the new victor, and will be recognized by the winner.
To put it bluntly, as long as the territory is divided, it has nothing to do with the feuder, it is the private property of the feudee, even if the feuder is defeated, the winner can't take advantage of the situation to implicate him, and if he wants to deprive other fiefs, then continue to fight.
Therefore, these samurai who surrendered to the service all had a dark purpose, that is, when they were loyal to the Kurokawa family, they fought desperately to earn more territory, and when the Kurokawa family was gone, they immediately rebelled and became independent, so that their family business would expand several times!
The reason why they have such thoughts is that they don't think that the Kurokawa family can hold it at all, because these five princes and five people really offend the martial arts family in the world. Offending a country's samurai can make the daimyo become anxious, not to mention offending the samurai of the whole world, the Kurokawa family eats jujube pills and eggs!
It's just that before it's over, you can take advantage of the madness of the Kurokawa family, the head of the house, to make crazy profits.
That's right, all the samurai who knew that the Kurokawa family was rewarding the land thought that the current governor of the Kurokawa family had lost his mind, and the samurai's root was the land!
Of course, the samurai shouted "O Marquis Kurokawaden!"
