Chapter 202: Counting Merit (II)

The Wa Kingdom is too small, and in the previous article, Masahiro defeated Maori Motoyo and Niko Haruhisa one after another, and became the lord of the four kingdoms of Kibi Shikoku, which seems to be very remarkable, but in fact, it is a land the size of a prefecture-level city in a certain dynasty. Moreover, many of the territories in this land are not directly under the jurisdiction of the Date family, but they all have their own masters, and those wealthy clans, even if they are political balances, do not dare to move casually, so that they can divide their direct territories to their retainers. All the territories of the daimyo, including the territories directly under their own control and the territories of the wealthy clans within their own territories, these noble clans are basically grass on the wall, and the war between the daimyo is none of their business, so the war is nothing more than a war between two daimyo to grab each other's direct territories. Only by grabbing the other party's direct territory can the daimyo be able to divide it and give it to his retainers.

In the first war of Bigo, most of the wealthy families of Bigo country thought that they were pinching soft persimmons, and where did they think of pricking their hands, which gave Zhengheng the opportunity to occupy the land of Bigo country, and declared most of the coastal areas directly under the central government, and now I heard that the defeat of Niko Haruhisa and the submission of the table are all semi-independent forces, and Zhengheng is only their nominal master, just as Maori Yuan is for them.

Speaking of the Battle of Bizen, it is gratifying to defeat Niko Haruhisa, but in fact, the most important thing is that before the battle between Niko Haruhisa and Date Masahiro, Niko Haruhisa had basically defeated the Bizen people who opposed him, and even the leader of the opponents, Urakami Munekei, committed suicide and martyrdom, and those who survived either survived by stealing their lives or standing in the camp of Niko Haruhisa.

This gave Shoheng a huge opportunity to integrate Bizen Province into the Date family system, and with the end of the work of the Bizen people such as Urakami Matsunojo, Nobuhara Keinono, Akashi Keikin, Urakami Masamune, and Iga Kutaka, the remaining land will be divided into two halves as the direct domain of the Date family, half of which will be given to the direct retainers.

Most of the wealthy families in Bizen were unlucky, and only a small number of wealthy families were crowned, and the aforementioned Jinguang Zonggao and Sosho Yuanchang were transferred to Bei China, and the former became the general of the 4,300 stone department of Kamokata in Asakchi County. The latter became the general of the 3,700 stone division of Okada, Shimochi Prefecture.

Bei China as the political center of the Date family, most of the retainers of the Date family are from Bei China, whether Jin Guang Zonggao and Suo Yuanchang are willing to stay away from their homeland in their hearts, in the eyes of outsiders, this is a gift given to them by Date Mashiro, if they are unwilling, it will be revenge, and what Mashiro wants to do with them is also to blame.

The disposal of Bizen can be said to be a quick knife to cut through the mess, and the disposal has been completed between three knives and two blades. Misakuni has to think about it, as mentioned earlier, Misasaka surrendered in battle, retained most of the living forces, and formed a fairly united alliance, and trying to solve them like Bizen will inevitably cause a violent backlash, which is something that Zhengheng does not want to see. I don't want to start a new turmoil just after the end of a foreign war.

The Miura clan, as the last force to resist, was severely punished, Majima County and Oniwa County were directly confiscated and became the direct domain of the Date family, and the Emi clan territory in the northern part of Eida County was also confiscated, so it can be said that one east and one west locked Misaku in a cage. The Date family's retainer Yotsunaga Katayama entered Ichinose Castle in Kume Prefecture and became the new leader of the Tsuyowa-go samurai regiment, which can be said to be closely connected between the east and the west. Similarly, to the south, you can keep a close eye on Iga Kutaka's Kanegawa Castle.

Majima-gun and Oniwa Prefecture are bordered by the counties of Tetsuga and Ado-gun, which are the true origins of the Date family, and if there is a rebellion in the future, Date can directly attack from both Bichuku and Bizen Province, and can lock Misasakaku in the middle without fear of being hindered by someone in the middle.

In addition to the above three, the others have their own blessings and misfortunes. However, it was still able to retain a certain amount of territory, although it was impossible to obtain a seal, and there were not many territories to be reduced, but the area was redivided, the stone monument was determined, and the forces with the city were gathered in groups according to their grudges, and there were wealthy families of the same size around them. Holding each other back.

Most of the territories of the small forces are scattered among the big forces, scattered and scattered, dozens of them, staggered distribution, such an arrangement. When any big force can have a bad heart, you have to worry about whether these small forces will report the news, but it will take a lot of energy and time to sweep away these small forces, which is enough for the Date family to have enough time to suppress it.

Bizen was powerless to refute, and the Meizuo people obviously did not have much dissatisfaction with the division of political balances, and if they were defeated, they would have to pay the price, which was the universal spirit of the Japanese people, and there was not much punishment. In fact, such rewards and punishments have greatly exceeded the expectations of the United States.

In fact, the political balance is like choosing beans to manipulate everyone's rewards and punishments, which seems to be a bamboo in the chest, but it is actually a helpless choice, if it is according to the heart, it will inevitably be all the beauty of the people into the Date family system, and completely complete the unification of the territory.

The so-called unification of the domain refers to the fact that the Warring States Daimyo increased their control over the territory and completely turned the nationalist lords who originally had a considerable tendency towards independence into vassals. The daimyo could not deprive them of their land at will, nor could they transfer their feudal titles at will, and could only ask the other party to pay a limited amount of tribute and participate in the war, without interfering too much in the internal affairs of the countryman lord. For his direct retainers, transferring fiefdoms, meddling in internal affairs, and even domestic affairs are all very normal measures. The daimyo family, which has many lords and loose government orders, lacks cohesion, and it is impossible to have high combat effectiveness, and only by completely unifying the generals can the comprehensive strength be greatly enhanced, so as to stand out in the Warring States competition.

The unification of the kingdom is a great cause that almost every Sengoku daimyo sincerely hopes for and strives to accomplish, but it is a difficult and bumpy road, with the winners standing proudly and the losers likely to die without a place to bury. Zhengheng completed the unification of the territory can be said to be the blessing of Maori Yuan and Nizi Qingjiu, originally he subdued Bei China with the barren land of Addo and Zhehe counties, and did not gather absolute combat effectiveness, but also married with local heroes to achieve the goal of ruling a country.

With the invasion of Maori Yuan, Zhengheng had the opportunity to gather all the Bizhong people for the first time, and the victory gave him absolute prestige, and for a time the prestige was unique, and he had the opportunity to unify Beizhong. Immediately after, he defeated Niko Haruhisa, and the political balance wanted to completely unify Bei China, and the two countries of Bigo and Bizen were gradually incorporated into the Date family system, but it was a little powerless to go to Misaku. The most important thing is that Misaku still has a large number of large and small national lords in the country, and these national lords chose to defect at the critical moment when Masahiro and Niko Haruhisa competed for power, which provided a convenient door for Masahiro to receive the fruits of victory. In this way, the balance cannot be too harsh.

In fact, the so-called unification of the realm of Zhengheng is not a normal unification, according to the ultimate goal of the Warring States Daimyo, the territory under its jurisdiction should be owned by the family, all the wealthy families are vassalized, and the lords are all managed, and there are only a large group of administrators under the family, and there is no semi-independent feudal lord.

In fact, until the end of the Warring States Period, there was no family that truly and completely perfected the unity, and the Date family was even more impossible, although the political balance was not a great talent, and the identity of the traverser gave him too many sources of information, but even so, it was difficult to perfect the unified rule.

The evaluation meeting was lackluster, whether everyone was satisfied or not, the political balance could not be seen, and under the general trend, even if it was dissatisfied, it would be completely suppressed. In the midst of a congratulatory send-off, Masahiro returned to the study with a slightly tired body, sat on the soft couch, and the young and mature Shota Tsuda Sukegoro appeared in front of him, bringing a surrender and a message for help from Takeda Matazaburo.

Zhengheng touched his blindfold and tidied it up a little, he didn't have this concept of Takeda Takashin's demotion at all, and Takeda Takanobu, who was far away in Inhata Country, actually sent his brother to send a demotion table, as well as a message asking for help, which made him feel a little inexplicable.

Zhengheng muttered in a low voice: "Yamana Yutoyo is not good to stay in Tajima digging his silver mine, what do you want to do in the cold, this Takeda Takanobu is also true, and now the order to return to the country after the meeting has just been issued, is it just for him to withdraw his fate." ”

After thinking about it for a while, Zhengheng couldn't think of a strategy to deal with it, in fact, according to the original intention, Yamana Yutoyo attacked Takeda Takanobu and didn't care about him, but the vanity of the four countries that had just dominated Kibi was troubled, and he wanted to meddle in the affairs of the Inban country, and he couldn't divide the troops and horses.

One person is poor, and the wisdom of many is endless, so Zhengheng summoned the main generals, how should the Date family express their position on this matter. Originally, according to common sense, Kusama Shibei should have been asked to share information about Tajima and Inaba to encourage everyone's thinking, but Kusama Shibei apparently also said why.

Misasaka Province borders Inaba Country.,At the moment, the people of Misasaka Province haven't left to return to the territory.,So Kusakari Keitsugu attended the meeting.,Kusakari Keitsugu wants to get close to Date House.,Knowing that the opportunity can't be missed.,Of course, I'm quite hard to introduce the affairs of Tajima and Inaba.。

With the introduction of Kusakari Keitsugu, everyone sketched the infighting between Yamana Seitsu and Yamana Yutoyo, Yamana Yutoyo killed Yamana Seimori, and Yamana Seimori's retainer Takeda Takanobu opposed Yamana Yutoyo in the name of assisting Yamana Seimori's widow.

Now when Takeda Takanbu steals chickens and rice, and is pressed and beaten by Yamana Yutoyo, he naturally thinks of the Date family, who has just unified Kibi Shikoku, and sends his younger brother Takeda Matasaburo, and submits the table again, and weeps bitterly, thinking that the Date family will intervene.
