The status of the samurai of the ancient samurai of the Wa Kingdom was theoretically much lower than that of the public family, and they were all low-level military attachés in the past, and they did not even have the right to speak in the temple, and naturally there were not many rules. However, when the samurai family was in power, they gradually integrated with the public family in clothing, which is why the samurai family still envied the public family from the bottom of their hearts.

In terms of wearing, the most formal dress of the samurai is the most casual hunting clothes of the ministers, as the name suggests, it is the hunting clothes, and the hunting clothes that Zhengheng is wearing today are the hunting clothes as the samurai dress, a black coat with a black hat on it.

This rule has been the core of politics since the samurai, and many people were unwilling to abide by the public after the public family was pushed to the margins, and the clothing of some samurai who admired Kyoto culture also moved closer to the public house, and it became a culture with white faces and black teeth.

However, Zheng Heng is obviously an outlier, he is a general, advocating simplicity, he doesn't like the clothes of the public, even if he is attacked, he can deal with it calmly, which is also the sequelae of his psychology after being attacked.

According to the public and flattering people, Zhengheng is not too much even if he wears a purple robe that only a high-class courtier can wear, and no one will criticize his unreasonable behavior, obviously he has not been approved of it, and he still wears that simple hunting clothes as always.

In a sense, the meeting of the temple in Japan is the end of the battle between Shoyo and Kyoto, and it is also the beginning of the conquest of the world. In just three months, Zhengheng has conquered most of, and more than ninety percent of the core Kinai has fallen into his hands, and after a series of wars, the local local forces have almost been lost, which allows Zhengheng to deal with it calmly.

The trend of the world will be united for a long time, and the mutual distrust and hatred between many people are just small waves in the long river of history. Even if Honganji Xianru and Ashikaga Yoshiteru and others are on a par with their wisdom and strategy, they may not be able to stop the trend of history. If Honganji and Ashikaga Yoshiteru's intelligence are interdependent, it will be difficult to break through under their joint efforts with the power of political balance alone, let alone when Ashikaga Yoshiki still possesses the great righteousness.

However, Honganji Shōru and Ashikaga Yoshiki obviously have no intention of uniting, and they will have to divide the winners and losers at the beginning, so that even if they defeat each other, they will be like two tigers fighting, and the final result will be as expected, and the two will die one after another, and their respective forces will be in vain. In this way, the trend of the world has disappeared and grown, and the political balance that has mastered the hearts and minds of the people and the general trend has converged into a surging trend that instantly washed away the Yueshui, Ishiyama and Kyoto, and is now spreading around with Kyoto as the core.

Zhengheng got up and asked, "Have all the ministers arrived?" "Zhengheng has become more and more majestic since he was prepared for China, and this kind of big discussion has been notified to everyone who comes to participate in it a month ago, except for the borders and garrisons in various places, and if he is late for various reasons, then this late guy will be punished, and may even be given death.

Kuroda replied beside him, "Your Highness, the ministers have already arrived!" ”

Zhengheng nodded, took the little dragon Jingguang handed over by Kuroda Guard, and walked towards the big meeting. In the eyes of Zhengheng, this meeting is also a war, and it is far from enough to win the war, and it is more important to run the world.

Rewards, punishments, and territorial divisions, all kinds of problems will follow, and if you are not careful, it is very likely that disputes will arise again. The commander who is invincible on the battlefield must become the one who enforces the power of the order, and no one can be allowed to pile up the new territory in the slightest.

In the eyes of the world, all this may be called a legend. When he started in a remote place in China, there were only more than a dozen people around him, but less than nine years have passed, and Zhengheng has become the hegemon of one-third of the world, and the overall situation has been decided.

For Zhengheng, all this is nothing more than a matter of course, the result of careful calculation.

From the very beginning, the Great Council entered the time of the political balance, and Kuroda Shobei used his pretended calm voice to spread over the temple of his own country, but no one dared to raise the slightest voice of opposition.

The first to be drawn up is the credit of Noyama Masato, Ishikawa Hisataka, Kiyokawa Henghide, Miyahara Masashige, Akagi Takao and others. Zhengheng is the leader of the business, they are the core of the Date family, and they are his right-hand man, who can establish the peaceful and prosperous era that the people expect, and play a pivotal role. However, there is still a big gap between the rewards and rewards they have received and the rewards they deserve, and in terms of the total leader of the Date family of nearly five or six million stones, Noyama Masatomo is only two hundred and twenty-one thousand stone high, which is really nothing. In fact, the first retainer of the first retainer, Noyama Yi Chaoye, only received 210,000 stone heights, but no one complained, most of these people were placed in the province by Zhengheng, which means that their territory will surround the core area of Zhengheng's new political territory.

The political core of the Wa Kingdom is Kyoto, and in the political map of Shoheng, his future political core will be based on Ishiyama Honganji Temple, where he will build the largest castle in the world, and control his huge territory with Okayama Castle to the east and west. This new castle called Osaka Castle will be the main city of the new lord near the Mashiro, and in the future, it will become the core of the Date clan to rule the world, and the positions of the ministers will be placed according to the proximity and distance.

Even Noyama Yoshitomo was only 210,000 koku high, not to mention the other retainers, but no one dared to come forward to oppose the opinion of Zhengheng, and everyone knew that the basis of Zhengheng's rule was not them, but the increasingly large class of low-level samurai.

Everyone knows that without a promotion channel, a political situation will be ossified and eventually come to naught. Zhengheng was born in a small way, and the basis of his rule is the growing bottom samurai class, in the Date family, more than thirty percent of the bottom samurai used to be farmers for no reason, and forty percent of the parents and grandparents were the lowest level of the samurai, that is to say, more than seventy percent of the bottom samurai can become the new ruling class in the Date family, although it is the lowest class, but it also shares the benefits brought by the Date family.

According to Zhengheng's calculations, the number of these low-level warriors has now reached tens of thousands, and their income will not exceed two hundred stones, which means that the production of thirty percent of the territory of the Date family belongs to them, and they determine the direction of the Date family.

The regime of political balance is a strange regime, very different from the previous regime, in which the head of the family would only control a few direct retainers, and then these direct retainers would have a different number of direct retainers, and they would control the territory layer by layer. The same is true of the Date family, the middle and upper class retainers will have a different number of retainers, but the number of Masahiro's direct retainers is far greater than the total number of other retainers combined, because these low-level samurai, who are as high as tens of thousands of people, are all Masahiro's direct retainers in theory and in practice, and they are only loyal to the Date family.

The huge low-level direct retainers gave birth to the same large middle- and upper-class direct retainers, and this meeting mainly focused on the merits of the middle and upper-class direct retainers, but in the end, nearly a thousand low-level samurai who performed well in the battle of Shangluo were given seals, so that they had a fortune ranging from 300 to 500, so that they were also squeezed into the equally large number of middle-level samurai.

The Date family has appeared as a saboteur from the beginning, he has pushed away hundreds of deep-rooted wealthy forces of different sizes along the way, and after annexing their power, he has pushed it all the way, that is to say, the Date family has gone all the way to the present, and more than ninety percent of his nominal territory is actually firmly in the hands of the Date family, even if it is some estranged territories that were originally subordinate to the Date family, when you open the door, you will find that all around him are directly subordinate to the Date family.

The consequence of this is that no one dares to rebel against the odds, but in this way, the number of samurai who were defeated by Date and unwilling to obey the Date family is equally large, to be exact, they were once samurai, and now they are called ronin.

The Metropolitan Police Department's mission is to crack down on the huge ronin group, and these unwilling to obey or more directly, the Itda's family is unwilling to give them more money to either be a good citizen or leave the Date family to go elsewhere, which is one of the reasons why the number and strength of the Wako have increased so much.

The ronins are actually willing to be loyal to the Date family, but the allegiance given to them by the Date family is really unsightly, and this is why the impoverished ronin group will appear. You must know that the core strength of the Date family, the number of direct retainers is as high as 12,300, and the number will increase by hundreds or thousands every year, not to mention the existence of a series of light and dark departments such as the Metropolitan Police Department, Hattori Staff, and Tozawa, and it is really a matter of far more cost than harvest to dangle in Date territory.

The meeting of Kyoto's own temple determines the direction of the world, and on the island of Hirado in Kyushu, the Date family and his legendary head Date Masaki are also discussed, but their discussions are clearly tendentious and slightly sarcastic.

This is a small Japanese-style hall with a floor made of tatami mats, and the house where this hall is located is the annex of the Matsuura clan, the lord of Hirado Island, and is dedicated to entertaining maritime merchants from the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Ao is now riding the waves, and it is no longer possible to reach the Wa Kingdom, but there are still many Wang Zhi's legacies in the Wa Kingdom, so Wang Ao sent his henchman Zhao Guangtou and others back to receive them, in preparation for the reconnection of the sea route.

What Wang Ao, Zhao Guangtou and the others didn't know was that Wang Zhi, the omnipotent owner in their eyes, had been secretly executed at the end of that month, but at this time, even if Wang Zhi did not die, it would be difficult to stop Wang Ao, commonly known as Mao Haifeng's rebellion.

For the Ming Dynasty, Wang Zhi and his entourage were originally thieves who should be killed and killed, and now they have changed from thieves to rebels, but they have done the idea of the Ming Dynasty, and now there is only one road waiting for them, a black road that seems to be a bright road.

Inside the hall is a small stage. On the stage, three Kabuki are performing, dressed in white (harmony) powder, dressed in intricate and gorgeous costumes, and dancing to the sound of silk and bamboo.

On the tatami mats, seven or eight paces apart, along the east and west sides, there are several small tables on each side, which are filled with sake and food, but they are not made by the Chinese cooks who live on Hirado Island. Zhao Guangtou and his entourage, as well as Matsuura Takanobu and Ryuteda Anjing who accompanied him.

Zhao Guangtou gently turned the porcelain cup in his hand, and asked Matsuura Takashin: "Brother Matsuura, do you think my ship's main thing of recruiting 10,000 mercenaries in the Wa Kingdom can be successful?" The mercenaries in his mouth will naturally not be ordinary people, but professional samurai, 10,000 professional samurai, which is a big burden for the Wa country, not to mention the Matsuura family.

Matsuura Takashin and Ryuteda Anjing glanced at each other, the essence in their eyes flashed, and Ryuteda Anjing kowtowed: "Lord Zhao, it's really not a secret, the Matsuura family really can't squeeze out 10,000 mercenaries, but it doesn't mean that other forces can't do it?" ”

Zhao Guangtou looked at Longshou Tian Anjing with a smile, he naturally knew what Matsuura Takanshin and others meant, this is a good way to weaken other forces, and it is an undesirable thing for any Warring States person to disappear and rise, but what does it matter to him, as long as Wang Ao's task is completed, plus if he can recruit 10,000 mercenaries, his position in Wang Ao's group will be on the rise, who knows if Wang Ao will become the king one day.

Ryute Tian Anjing suddenly asked, "Does Lord Zhao know that Date Zhengheng has already gone to Luo?" ”

Zhao Guangtou stayed in the Wa Kingdom for a long time, and naturally knew what the Wa people meant by Shangluo, although in the eyes of his Ming people, it was just a group of village chiefs who suddenly appeared and led people to break into the county seat and become the magistrate, but in the eyes of the Wa people, it was a matter of the world, and he pretended to be suspicious: "Huh? ”

Ryute Tian Yasukei kowtowed: "Date Masahiro was born in the Fujiwara clan, and now he has a third of the world, and there are many elite soldiers under his command, if the adults go to Kyoto, maybe they can hire enough people without putting them together, even if it is 20,000 or 30,000 mercenaries, it is not impossible, as long as the adults can show enough strength." ”

Zhao Guangtou raised his eyebrows, he looked at Longshou Tian Anjing, but he never thought that Longshou Tian Anjing looked at him with fear, looked like he was planning for him, shook his head, and said, "Oh, then it seems that I really have to go to Kyoto." ”

Matsuura Takanobu and Ryuteda Yasutsura said goodbye and left, and Matsuura Takanobu said in a low voice: "Do you think this matter can be done?" ”

Longshou Tian Anjing said with a serious expression: "The Wufeng shipowner's party is becoming more and more rampant, and now they are even more rebelling, we just want to protect the territory and the people, but they don't want the Japanese country to be dominated by one force, and they will definitely try to weaken the Date family." ”

Matsuura Takanobu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why?" ”

Longshou Tian Anjing said: "The original goods of the Wufeng shipowner's party, such as silk and cotton, are now mainly saltpeter and firearms, making huge profits from them, and these weapons can only be sold at a high price in the war, but now they are all focused on the body of the Ming Kingdom, I am afraid that they will not be able to do it."
