Chapter 84 The three townships in the south of the county are the heaviest

Oi Mori opened his mouth and said: "Half of the evil party of the Kamo people has been killed or captured last night, which can be said to be a great loss of vitality, but Suganuma Dinggui and Imaizumi Michizen are still in Noda and Ina Castle respectively, so I don't know what to do?" If the two of them closed the city and held on, I am afraid that with the current military situation, it will be difficult to help each other. ”

Ono Tadashi shook his head again and again after hearing this, and said: "Yashiro's words are very false, this 'Onishima' of Suganuma Dingcun is still waiting for the crime, let alone a Suganuma Dinggui?" In my opinion, it's just a dry bone in the mound, in the past, the Noda family was the dominant family in the Kamo people, but now the situation is reversed, the main is weak and the guest is strong, even if you don't care about him, it won't take a few days, there will be chaos in Noda City, and Zenxiu Temple is now in the hands of the family, even if you want to incite a long, you can't find righteousness. ”

In addition to Suganuma Dingcun, there are five leaders in Kamo Zhongzhong, and now Suzuki Shigemumi was executed, Okupei Sadakei asked to surrender, and among the remaining three, Imaizumi Michizen led the water thieves to garrison Ina Castle in Hohan County, while Shimada Dingjun and Tamine Dingji went to Owari Province as hostages, and Suganuma Dinggui is now the only one in Noda Castle.

After calculating that there are still 500 people in the Kamo group, there are less than 100 guests who actually stay in Noda Castle, and it is still difficult to defend the castle itself, let alone take the initiative to attack.

Gao Shisheng agreed with this, and said that the Kamo people seemed to be rampant in the south of the county, but in fact they were just a mass of scattered sand, and without the support of Zenshu Temple in the back, as long as there was a slight setback, it would fall apart, and it was impossible to unite all the people under him with the prestige of Suganuma Dinggui alone.

Even if Suganuma wants to raise troops, he is worried that it will endanger the life of Suganuma Dingcun and throw a rat trap, which is why Gao Shisheng specially told him to be captured alive as much as possible.

"The most important thing now, in the eyes of the poor monks, it seems that it is not the He Mao people led by Suganuma Dinggui and others, but what the judge should do, so that he can take this opportunity to control all the towns of Songshan and Tamagawa, and come to the south of the Junfu Whale Swallow County."

Even if Gao Shisheng did everything for personal gain, at least on the surface, he still carried the banner of crusading against thieves for Junfu.

Now, by exterminating the power of Suganuma Dingcun, Suzuki Shigesumi, and Okupei Sadakei, he has successively taken the military service members under the name of the Konan Hao clan into his hands, so as to expand the forces in the hands of Gao Shimori, and prepare for the next crusade against Noda Castle, and even the Nagashino Suganuma clan in the north of the gun.

Eight counties in the south of the ten townships, most of the wealthy clans and villages are resistant, and most of them are biased towards He Maozhong, which is not good for Gao Shisheng.

Now that Suganuma Dingcun has been captured, Shanxiu Temple has also fallen under control, and it won't be long before Okupei Zhenqing comes forward to adjust, and there will inevitably be many small wealthy families to come to attach, which is a great opportunity for Gao Shisheng.

If he can seize this opportunity and bring together the townships of Nagabe and Tamagawa, which were already enemies of the Kamo people, and gather them to serve under the match, then he will have the capital to truly dominate the south of the gun.

In terms of how to adjust the strategy, it is not difficult to divide and win over the wealthy families and temples in Xixiang, Changbe, Yuchuan and other townships.

First of all, this Junnan was already deeply devastated by the military rebellion last year, first it was attacked by the same one, and then it was sacked by the Yuanjiang army sent by Junfu, and at the beginning of the year, because of the private fighting that He Maozhong launched in various townships for the annexation of Junnan, it had already made the people of Hanshu miserable, and they had no intention of responding to the military service and momentum of the Hao clan again.

Secondly, not only were the people impoverished, but the wealthy clans and temples in various townships were also dealt a major blow, and their power was not as strong as before.

In other words, last year's continuous military rebellion helped Gao Shisheng to carry out a thorough purge of the Hao clan in the south of the county, and now after he defeated the He Mao people, the Hirayama Party under him immediately became the largest samurai regiment among the ten towns in the south of the county, and he was also the acting official of the Junfu, so he himself had the righteousness of the county and township, and he could take this opportunity to send samurai party members to the towns in the south of the county and bring them under his command.

Of course, it is impossible for Junfu to let these townships be so laissez-faire after judging He Maozhong, and will soon send a new Bao Si deputy to take charge, but there is still a lot to be done in the appointment of these Bao Si deputies.

The eight counties were taken by Gao Shisheng for Junfu, even if they didn't follow the old practice of 'cutting and taking Andu', and divided a part of the new Wanxing to Gao Shisheng, these acting officials of the Bao Si at least had to be clansmen and party members of the Gao clan in Yuanjiang, otherwise how would they come to reward?

Since the opening of Kamakura, the samurai law of "cutting and taking Andu" has been clearly listed in the laws of all families, and as long as the Junfu receives the good news of the thief and the many tangible evidence of the guilt of He Maozhong, it will inevitably recognize the Hirayama Party headed by Gao Shisheng and set up this fame.

Then, after the interrogation of Suganuma and the others, it was discussed how to reward and who should be sent to the eight prefectures to serve as the deputy officials of the insurance department, and by the time these new acting officials of the insurance department arrived, at least a month had passed.

This period of time is enough for Gao Shisheng to initially cultivate the power of the wealthy clan close to him in Nanjun, or collude with the eight county tyrants, and in turn suppress those new acting officials, and slowly incorporate them into the subordinate service.

"What the Zen master said is very true, and I have exactly what I mean!" Gao Shisheng counted carefully, "In the ten townships such as Xixiang, Hemao, Yuchuan, Songshan, and Changbu, except for Hemao Township, which will be directly led in the future, and Xixiang, where the Hao clan is the most powerful, how does the Zen master think it should be governed separately?" ”

Ono Tadaaki said: "This land of eight towns is probably not something that the current Hirayama Party can swallow all, let alone a private person. ”

Gao Shisheng is a native of other states, not a wealthy family of eight counties, not even a native of the country of Sanhe, although the country of Yuanjiang borders on eight counties, but the atmosphere of the wealthy people in the two countries is completely different.

If you really reward all the land of the eight townships in the south of the county to your own private, that is, the cronies and retainers who are matched, then under the influence of the xenophobic atmosphere of the state and county, it will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the eight county people, so in addition to a few important townships and towns that can be handed over to the cronies for control, the remaining townships still have to let the wealthy families govern themselves, and after Gao Shisheng collects progressive contributions and oaths from them, he can also call himself a county general to the outside world.

Gao Shisheng nodded in agreement and said, "What the Zen master said is in line with the Xuanfa. However, the Zen master thinks that among the eight townships, which counties and townships cannot let the wealthy people do their own thing? ”

"Among the eight townships, the three townships of Hemao, Songshan, and Changbe are the heaviest, and they must not fake outsiders, and they must send troops to hold them tightly in their own hands, and as for the rest of the townships, they can allow the wealthy clans in the south of the county to enjoy the right of 'not losing or entering' as appropriate, so as to show that the judge is by no means a self-righteous person like Suganuma Dingcun."
