Chapter 177: The Authoritarian Era
The daimyo directly rewarded Shinobu Murakami, which was the first time in the entire ninja world.
What's more, he still threw out the titles of five generals in one go.
Qimu Shuomao and the four border army commanders all accepted the title.
Uchiha Tokumitsu said he withdrew the proposal and promised not to challenge the matter again.
Konoha people are a little numb to this, because there have been too many shocking things recently, and the emotions are a little insufficient.
Moreover, they are quite unhappy that the Hokage accepts the mediation of the daimyo and the five accept the title of shogun, especially those fringe ninjas who were counting on to restart the ninja council and gain power from it.
But neither Uchiha Tokumitsu nor Hachiki Sakushige bothered to pay attention to the insects.
The key point for them now is to preach and explain to the ninjas of the Innovation Society to explain the meaning of this.
“…… The ninja world is unequal, and so is the ninja village. ”
After Hagi Sakushige's speech, Uchiha Tokumitsu, who is the director of the Innovation Association, naturally also took the stage to speak, and his first words made the faces of the ninjas present at the Innovation Meeting change greatly.
"And it's precisely because there is inequality that we want to pursue equality, so we sit together, so Konoha has a reform meeting."
At the reform meeting, the faces of the ninjas immediately turned cloudy and clear.
After many public speeches, Uchiha Tokumitsu became more and more proficient in using words to mobilize the emotions of the audience, first suppressing and then raising the minds of the crowd.
"The daimyo will throw coins in a big way, and the Hokage will be generous and merciful, but it's not because they are pure in nature, but because we stand up!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu raised his right fist and said loudly, "It's us!" ”
"The Innovation Society is the rising sun of Konoha leaves, and all darkness dissipates and becomes invisible under the scorching sun!"
The venue burst into thunderous applause.
"But!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu turned around again, and his tone became low: "The future is bright, but the road is tortuous. ”
The ninjas of the Innovation Society, who had just been enthusiastic, immediately calmed down a little, thought about it, and then nodded their heads one after another.
"Power is not our most necessary pursuit, but it is an indispensable condition for realizing our ideals!"
The purpose of this sentence was to justify himself and Hagi Sakushige accepting the title of shogun of the Daimyo.
The ninjas hesitated a little at the innovation meeting, but they nodded their heads one after another.
Those who can become ninja are all human spirits who have been beaten by the ninja world, and they are people who have not yet joined the innovation society, so they are not completely idealists, and naturally they also understand the "accessory" of gaining power in the process of pursuing their ideals.
Besides, if it weren't for the fact that Hagi Sakumo was the leader of the upper ninja squad, the Uchiha Tokumitsu was born in a wealthy family and the commander of the border army, plus the two of them were strong and had a history of threatening the Hokage, the Innovation Society might have been wiped out by the shadows at just a budding stage.
The next day, the speeches made by Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hagi Sakushige at the internal meeting of the Reform Society were compiled into a manuscript and circulated throughout Konoha under the title "Our Struggle".
……
Among the five generals who received the name of the Daimyo, Uchiha Tokumitsu and Uchiha Homon are from the same clan, and Uchiha Homon is also the chief of guard of the Great Elder of Instant, so the relationship goes without saying; And Hachiki Sakumo is the iron alliance of the Uchiha clan, and naturally he is in the same breath as the Uchiha Tokumitsu; Although Mimura Hamaki has a shallow foundation, he has chosen to stand on the same front as Hachiki Sakumo.
Therefore, the only outlier is the new commander of the Northern Border Defense Force, the son of the third generation, Sarutobi Shinnosuke.
And he is also the one who has the most unbeatable combat achievements among the five.
But for the Hokage family, it also occupies one of the four major ninja armies, and it can be regarded as taking back part of the power - because the northern border defense force was once a ninja army under the command of Hagi Shuomao.
In this way, the biggest loss is Hachiki Shuomao, because as he is the leader of the upper ninja squad, the ninja army directly under his command only has one mobile force, and the combat ninja of the mobile force is mostly Uchiha people, and it is impossible to set up a shogunate within Konoha.
Although the rank of general is a fictitious position, its power content is still very high.
The premise is that there is the ability to cash out the power of this position.
Uchiha Tokumitsu established the Tokumitsu shogunate in a low-key manner, and the garrison was set up in the territory of the Vortex Country, and the chief official of the shogunate was set up as the guardian of the vortex tide, and then this official was awarded to the head of the Edina clan of the Uzumaki clan.
Although the old land of the Vortex Country has since officially become the territory of the Uchiha clan legally, it is also an opportunity for the Uzumaki people to return to their homeland in disguise.
Naturally, Uzumaki Reeda was also grateful for this, and after repeatedly thanking Uchiha Tokumitsu, he happily took a dozen or so Uzumaki people to serve in the Vortex Country.
His duty was to rebuild a county town in the country of Vortex to serve as the shogunate seat of Uchiha Tokumitsu.
In Uchiha Tokumitsu's vision, the laboratory set up in the eastern part of the Fire Country was eventually relocated to the Vortex Country, and together with the shipyard built in secret, it would form the pillar industry of the Tokumitsu Shogunate.
The Uchiha Homon also established the shogunate with the support of the family, and set up a base in the Broken Stone Castle in the northern part of Kusanokuni, but the shogunate was far less independent than that of the Uchiha Tokumitsu. However, with the further support of the family forces, and the help of the Tokumitsu Red Reserve stationed in the Daimyo Mansion of the Grass Country, the Homon Shogunate not only controlled the Grass Country, but also began to infiltrate the western part of the Takinokuni and the eastern part of the Rain Country.
Although Mimura Hamaki is the commander of the Western Border Defense Force, his background is only a family of Konoha civilians. He didn't have many followers, so he simply joined the Shinkai Society, and then formed the shogunate with the support of Hachiki Sakushige, barely controlling the Kawanokuni.
Although Sarufei Shinnosuke is the young patriarch of the Sarufei clan, the defense area of the northern border defense force in charge of him is in the territory of the Fire Country, although he also has an adjutant in the opening government, but he can't control one side like Uchiha Tokumitsu, plus his qualifications are insufficient, Konoha ninjas generally think that he is just lucky to get the shade, so he is also ridiculed as a "landless general".
But in any case, the five major generals of the daimyo still alleviated the internal contradictions in Konoha to a certain extent, and some dissidents chose to flee to join the border army shogunate, although the power of the village headquarters was weakened to a certain extent, but on the whole, the atmosphere in the village was still a lot more harmonious.
The idle forces of the Uchiha clan were mostly transferred to serve in the two shogunates, and the forces left in Konoha were only to maintain the Ministry of Police and the Nangagawa Stock Exchange, plus the smuggling business of the United Fisheries Company and the Kigakuin Ninja Clan was even more unimpeded after Uchiha Tokumitsu obtained the rank of general, and he made a lot of money, so naturally he didn't have the heart to continue to entangle with Konoha insects.
The guardians of the eight eastern counties of the Fire Nation have also become more well-behaved, because the ninjas who have already stationed a squadron in each of the counties have been stationed in the Uchiha Tokumitsu, and after the opening of the shogunate, the size of the garrison has been upgraded from a squadron to a detachment, and the control of the local area has been strengthened again.
But after a slap, Uchiha Tokumitsu still sent a candy to the county guards.
The Uchiha Tokumitsu promised that the ninja army stationed in the army would not interfere in local government affairs, and that he would protect the lineage of the family. In other words, as long as the current guardian wishes, he can appoint any heir as his heir and be supported by the Uchiha ninja army.
For local guardians, especially families who have an in-law relationship with the ministers of the Daimyo Mansion, it is a very headache to maintain the inheritance of the family from being interfered with, and the value of this promise given by Uchiha Tokumitsu is more valuable than the 100,000 gold sentence!
Even the two major ninja clans of Misty Hidden Ghost Lantern and Mizuranzuki were also enthusiastic about Uchiha Tokumitsu's power, so they also specially sent envoys to ask Uchiha Tokumitsu how to set up a shogunate to rule one side.
"We are all dignified Foggy and Hidden Water Shadow families, how can we live under the people for a long time! Why don't you go back to the village and encourage the family to also seek the title of a general outside? Isn't it beautiful to have a rip-to-earth system? ”
Ghost Lantern Masahiko said to Mizuki Chino.
Shui Wuyue Qiannuo also thinks so.
Simplify a few things according to the prompts.
I tried not to jump so much after that......
