On September 15, the 6th year of Eiroku, the Kuroda family held a new post-war evaluation meeting. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When Kuroda walked into the assessment room, he found that the originally large room was now a little smaller, and there were more than 200 people sitting in a dense group of retainers and wealthy family heads below.
"The main purpose of convening you here today is to reward and transfer the Tajima and Inaba Kingdom strategies this time. After a month of land inspection, the family now has 270,000 koku in Harima Province, 296,000 koku in Bizen Province, 111,000 koku in Tajima Province, and 90,000 koku in Inhata Province, for a total of 767,000 koku. This year, the Kuroda family harvested more than 1.3 million koku of grain, and more than 500,000 yuan of business income and overseas trade income. ”
After that, the little surname asked people to come forward one by one and send a certificate of thanks.
"Ite-sama comes forward"
"Hey"
"Increase the land of 3,000 stones in Mido County, and receive 14,000 stones, and the family will attack the Kibi area in the future, hoping that the adults will prepare for the future raids, and hand over the three counties of Bizen Province Akasaka, Panri, and Waki to the adults."
"Lord, leave the pre-battle preparations to me! But I'll have to give me two more commissioners! Imate said with a smile, his face full of confidence.
"I've learned to bargain, I'm ready, and then I'll ask Xiao Nishironzo to arrange two people for you!" Kuroda replied that in addition to going out into battle, the Imate Tomoshi was also responsible for the logistics of the army this time, so he really needed some internal affairs manpower.
"Thank you, Lord." After thanking him, he returned to his seat.
"Shigetaka-sama Matsui stepped forward"
"Hey"
"Matsui Shigetaka Nagasuiyama Castle was returned to the original leader, and transferred to the Tottori Castle of Inhata Province for 10,000 stones, so as to run a good place for the family, and while beware of the Niko family, if the Niko family is attacked, they can be given appropriate help."
"Hey!"
"Kodera Takahisa-sama stepped forward"
"Hey"
"Kodera Takahisa has increased the number of 3,000 koku in Ihogun, and has a total of 9,500 koku, so as to keep the original territory for the Kuroda family, and continue to develop the commerce and shipping of Himeji!"
"Hey"
"Musato Kobei-sama stepped forward"
"Hey"
"The original leader of the mother Kobei, Lord Tenjin Mountain Castle, was returned, and 10,000 stone stones were transferred to Tajima Province to protect Tajima Province for his family, and to develop Tajima internal affairs and pacify the place."
"Hey"
"Mitsuaki-sama stepped forward"
"Hey"
"Lord Miki Tsuaki gave Yagiyama Castle 1,000 koku, a total of 8,000 koku, so that the family will continue to stabilize the territory of the former country, and the two counties of Ekuku and Kojima will be managed for the family."
"Hey"
To put it bluntly, the Kuroda family's post-war assessment is mainly to adjust the management scope of the generals in four aspects, the Imate Tomoshi basically needs to manage most of Bizen Province on behalf of the main family, and the Miki family has not changed much after taking charge of Kojima, and Matsui Shigetaka and Musato Kobei were directly transferred to manage a country.
In addition to the fact that Tayususo is Yoshiwa Yagi Toyonobu was transferred to Bizen Province's Mido Prefecture, and under the orders of the Itetomo clan, the few wealthy families of Inaba Province and several Harima National Wealthy clans were transferred to the territory, and the generals and forces of various aspects were changed in a large area
It turned out that the Imate Tomo's command and force removed Goto Kikuni and Urakami Kiyomune from Tsutaka County, and the other Akashi Keikin, Miyata Mitsuji, and Kuwabara Saemon were transferred to the command of Matsui Shigetaka of Inaba Province; The subordinates of Musato Kobei and the forces of Kugi Valley were retained, Sasaki Nagahide was transferred back to his home to listen to the use, Hattori Hisashi, Kogawa Yoshitoshi, and Takeshi Ogami were transferred to the command of Ide Tomoji, and at the same time the Irita brothers were transferred to Musato Kobei; Okamoto Hidehide is still the Yoriki of the Miki family; Matsui Shigetaka retained the Ota Hara sect under the command of Matsui Shigetaka, and the other Nobuhara Keinno and Tsuchihi Yahachi were transferred to the Muri Kobei command.
And then there are the newly joined retainers, basically because of their military exploits, they have obtained a fief that can be inherited, and this time the evaluation is a great joy.
After the end of the post-war assessment, Xu Weixue came to the Kuroda Castle Palace for the first time and asked to see Kuroda Vocational High, who had not returned to the Imperial Castle at this time, so he was pulled up by Kuroda Vocational High.
"Lord Xu, I don't know what this is going on!" Once again, Kodera Vocational High School acted as a free translator.
"The lord and the young master, in fact, there is indeed something to ask for this time, but it is a little difficult to say." When Xu Weixue spoke, his face looked very unnatural, and it was indeed estimated that it was difficult to do.
"It's okay for Lord Xu to say it directly."
"My colleagues in Kyushu have just recently returned to Kyushu from the Ming Kingdom, hoping to join the Kuroda family, these people are all fierce people, the number is enough three thousand, if they are accepted, it will make the Kuroda family's combat power increase greatly. But to be honest, they burned, killed and looted in the Ming Kingdom, and even in the lower part of the country, they were a little psychologically unacceptable to these people. Therefore, I hereby tell the lord about this matter, and ask the lord to know clearly. ”
"These ...... are authentic Japanese coquents!" Not to mention Xu Weixue, Xiaosi Zhigao can't accept it in his heart, these are all people who have committed a big crime in the Ming Kingdom!
"Three thousand! It's still a navy, if there are these 3,000 people, the navy of my family will be not afraid of Maori, Mishima and Awaji sailors! Kuroda said, as if he had already moved the idea of recruiting these would-be robbers.
"Father, these people are heinous people! How easy is it to use? Koji retorted.
"Is there any problem with killing in the Ming Kingdom? I know that you yearn for the culture of the Ming Kingdom in your heart, but these people can still be used by my Kuroda family! Kuroda said.
"Father ......" originally saw Kuroda's resolute attitude, and Kodera Vocational High was ready to accept it, after all, he was just a young master, and Kuroda was the head of the Kuroda family. But he immediately came up with an idea.
"Father, you can ask these Ming pirates to help their family capture the Oki Kingdom as a vote." Kotera Vocational High School said.
"Oki Country? That's the Land of Exile! ”
"Exactly, when the people in the opposition of the Ming Kingdom took refuge in the power, they had a saying that they would give a sufficient gift. Although Oki Province was a place of exile, its location was extremely important, and it was possible to attack the Mori family and Iwami Province to the south. Father, and the strength of the wealthy people is not strong, and the location of the island is good, as long as the place is occupied, the Kuroda family will completely control the waterway of San'in, and the income of the waterway is a lot of money every year! Koji said excitedly.
"Kanshuwei, didn't you still oppose them joining your family just now?"
"Father, because I have thought of a solution."
"How?"
"Yes, a way to keep these people under control."
"What's the solution?"
"The Dawn Source is their leader."
