Chapter 127: Stopping the Fight (9)

The birthplace of the two Chinese characters "police" is the Wa State, the development of the East Asian police system was also introduced and developed by the Wa State from Europe at the beginning, and the development of the Chinese police system was also determined by the usurper Yuan Shikai.

The modern police have mixed reviews for ordinary people, but they still play a huge role in deterring criminals and stabilizing social order, and it is obviously impossible for the Date family to maintain a large police force. However, as a subsidiary of the army, it is necessary to exist, especially in the direct jurisdiction of the Date family, and in the event of a crime, the use of the police force is much simpler than the use of the army, and at the same time, the weakening of the role of the army in dealing with internal contradictions is also very useful.

Now, Masahiro wants to establish a regular police system in the newly built Okayama Castle Town, and based on this, it will be possible to solve problems that will arise if the experimental police system was born two or three hundred years ago in advance.

In fact, there were still prototypes of the police in this era, and the public security office was the patrol and arrest of the police in this era, and at the same time, they also served as judges, and the words and deeds of the law and order pursued by the townspeople directly related to the rule of the Date family would be greatly related to the rule of the Date family.

Since the Date family originated in the end of the world, there were not many literate samurai retainers, and most of the security officials in the public security office are now carried out by people from local wealthy families, and the interests of these people naturally conflict with the interests of the Date family.

Centered on the Public Security Officer's Office, family law is enforced in the territory. Ignore the national law issued by the Date family. Yang is against yin. The inspectors sent out by the Date family were also helpless. These forces have been deeply rooted in the local area for more than 100 years, even hundreds of years, and trying to eradicate them is really a whole thing.

This is also the reason why the political balance has to carry out violent laws every time he conquers a family, eradicate the largest forces in a country, take their land and property, and then co-opt other middle and lower forces, and appoint them to become local security and co-governance places.

As the territory grows larger and larger. Obviously, the compromise system is very detrimental to the interests of the Date family, and the formation of a police system is a way to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, of course, this method cannot be carried out in the whole territory from the beginning, and it requires a little accumulation of experience and personnel.

The task given to Kusama Shibei by Masahiro is for him to investigate the issue of the Public Security Administration Hall in various places, and the feasibility of forming a police system. The former question, as the leader of the Kusama people, although he is not as good as Koga of Tozawa Baiyunzhai in terms of emotional governance, it is still more than enough for the problem of secretly inspecting the public security office.

Due to the strength of the Date family's army, major problems have not yet arisen. However, there are still small problems, and there are more than a dozen criminal cases that have ruined the reputation of the Date family. There have also been many cases of indiscriminate killings, which has made Zhengheng's desire to form a police system even more urgent.

As for the latter question, since the police system is a new thing, Kusama Shibei is obviously not very clear, but the patrol and arrest have existed since ancient times, and the police system is the organization that organizes the patrol and arrest, and Kusama Shibei still knows a thing or two.

After chatting with Kusama Shibei for a while, Masahiro handed over the huge task of the police system to him, asking him to form a police force of 1,000 people as soon as possible, and settle in Okayama Castle Town before Okayama Castle entered the castle, and build Okayama Police Superintendent's Office as headquarters in Castle Town.

When Zhengheng was busy setting up the police system, hundreds of people suddenly disappeared, and those who didn't know never knew about it, and the people who knew the details were not only the people from the Date family, but also the people who hid these people, and they inevitably had some panic in their hearts after hearing about this.

The only credible reason for such a large-scale disappearance is that the Date family dispatched ninja troops, but they did not disclose their news, whether they were dead, and said that they did not say who hid them, and they were even more nervous.

They obviously didn't think that the political balance would have stopped Tozawa Baiyunzhai's next move after learning about it, and according to their thoughts, they would definitely chase after it, which is also what made them feel scared and uneasy, and the consequences would be unimaginable if something went wrong.

What would have happened if Date had seized on their real evidence and asked for their confessions? They just want to get the result with their toes, they move with their heads, no one can save him, and they obviously don't want to die.

If they want to resist, the only force they can use has disappeared, and now they have no means to resist in their hands, but to sit and wait for the judgment to come. They waited in constant panic for the guillotine to fall.

Those who betrayed the House of Date were terrified.

The rumors shrouded in the current mood of Miyoshi Changqing are also very bad, want to be angry, but can't find anyone to be angry, although the result of the expedition to the country of Harima is not perfect, but it can't be said that Miyoshi misjudged, no one can imagine the sudden change in the weather.

Miyoshi Changqing's heart swelled with an uncontrollable anger, full of anger, so that he couldn't wait to find someone to vent, he kicked the wooden wall in the hotel hard, shouting and scolding: "Bastard, who is spreading the rumors?" ”

Iwashiro Tomoto, whose face was broken, lay motionless at the door, the wound on his face was not left on the battlefield, but was punished by Miyoshi Nagakei with thirty slaps, and his third brother Antaku Dongkang personally handled it, and scraped it on Iwaki Tomoto's face.

After Miyoshi Changqing vented, he ordered the important ministers in the family to come in and question, and all the retainers who had been waiting for a long time walked in, and saw Iwaki Yutong lying on the ground with a trace of disdain on his face, Iwaki Yutong lowered his head and did not dare to look directly into Miyoshi Changqing's eyes, for fear that a bad Miyoshi Changqing would be angry again to vent.

However, when Matsunaga Shu came over, he comforted Iwaki Yutong, and then blocked Miyoshi Nagakei's gaze, bowed to the ground, and said: "Your Highness, the rumors spread in Kinai have been investigated by the minister, and they were originally spread by the Sakamoto Princess. "Sakamoto Gongfang refers to the Muromachi shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru, who lives in Sakamoto, so it is called Sakamoto Gongkata.

Iwaki Yutong didn't expect that Matsunaga Hide, who he had always looked down on, comforted him, compared to the other two who avoided suspicion, Miyoshi Changyi and Miyoshi Masayasu were so good that they didn't know where to go, and their favorability towards Matsunaga Hide in his heart increased infinitely.

Miyoshi Nagakei's eyes froze, Matsunaga Xiu was not only his important staff, but also the intermediary of his ninja army, hearing his investigation results, clenched his fists and said: "The hateful Sakamoto Gongfang, relying on the power of the Rokkaku family, actually provoked me. ”

Matsunaga Xiu's eyes rolled, and he immediately said: "Doctor Rokkaku Sakyo is known for his bravery, and in the twenty-first year of Astronomy, he inherited the family business after the death of his father Dinglai Gong, and in the twenty-second year of Astronomy, he forced his long-cherished enemy Asai clan to obey, and the governor of the Asai clan was forced to change his name to Kenmasa with his son Asai Shinkuro and marry the daughter of Hirai Kaga Mamoru, an important minister of the Rokkaku family, on the condition of reaching an agreement and surrendering to the Rokkaku family. I heard that in recent times, the Rokkaku clan has become more and more in good relations with Mino's guardian Toki, and Mino's pit viper has become dirty because it has not broken the barrier. ”

The others still didn't understand the meaning of Matsunaga Xiu's words, but Miyoshi Changqing suddenly understood Matsunaga Xiu's thoughts, and said: "Why did you think of forming an alliance with the Rokkaku family, tell me your reasons?" Hearing Sanhao Changqing's words, everyone had an expression of disbelief.

Matsunaga Shu organized his thoughts and said: "Your Highness, the current situation in Kinai, the power gap between my family and the Sakamoto Gongfang has widened, and it is irreversible, and the victory is in hand. Dr. Rokkaku Sakyo saw the situation more clearly than his father, so he forced to land in Asai and head east to Mino. If there had not been a Harima war, the alliance between my family and the Rokkaku family would have been dispensable, and now the Date family has risen against the trend, and it has evolved into a big problem for my family, and my subordinates secretly figured it out, and felt that a temporary alliance with the Rokkaku family was the best policy. ”

After a pause, Matsunaga continued: "There is another advantage to forming an alliance with the Rokkaku, that is, it can allow the Duke of Sakamoto to return to Kyoto, and under our noses, we can blackmail the generals to order the princes, and we can also tighten the guard. ”

didn't expect the rise of the Date family, and the butterfly fanned down, prompting the Miyoshi family to regard the Date family as a big problem, and if he let Zhengheng know about it, he didn't know how to lament. Miyoshi Changqing smiled and said: "Yizheng, what you said is very true, your proposal is exactly what the owner of this hall thinks, this matter will be handed over to you, and it must be done." ”

Matsunaga immediately responded, "Yes, Your Highness." He answered, but did not leave.

Miyoshi Changqing looked back at his second brother Miyoshi Shixiu and asked, "Second brother, how long will the wounded soldiers have to recuperate before fighting again?" "Due to the invasion of sleet, logistics are difficult to support, so that Miyoshi Shixiu is full of wounded camps, which is why Miyoshi Shixiu had to withdraw from the army.

Miyoshi Shixiu smiled bitterly and said: "About four or five thousand people will not be able to fight this year, and the other half will need to recuperate for three or four months and then train for two or three months to recover, but if the elder brother insists on sending troops, the younger brother is willing to mobilize another four or five thousand Awa soldiers." ”

Miyoshi Changqing never thought that a sleet would cause frostbite to tens of thousands of people, and his heart turned for a moment, before he said to Miyoshi Changyi: "Hinata, you go to Kyoto to ask for an armistice order, and then go to Bei China to make peace with the Date family."
