Chapter 4 Meritorious Rewards
The behavior of Matsuura Takanobu Matsuura Party leader Matsuura Takanobu to start the war without permission seems to be a trivial episode at this moment, but it has played a very bad role in the process of the Wa Kingdom, you must know that Matsuura Takanobu did not become a vassal of the Date family when he started the war without authorization, that is to say, his act of sending troops to attack Tamna Island is a private act of the Matsuura Party, and the final result has to be carried by the Matsuura Party and Matsuura Takanobu, and in a narrow sense, the Date family does not have to pay for any of his actions.
In Matsuura Takanobu's view, once the Matsuura Party fell into a protracted war, it was impossible and impossible for the Matsuura Party to win the final victory, after all, he was facing a politically and militarily unified country, and the final result would be defeat and retreat to Tamna Island.
If the Date family delays and allows the situation on Tamna Island to deteriorate, then Matsuura Takanobu will also have to order Matsuura Taro, Kage Date Yasuke, Momono Hyogo and others to give up everything they have gained in the early stage, and what is more serious is that once they fall into a long-term war and lose their troops, the Matsuura family's power will become weaker and weaker and weaker, and Matsuura Takanobu's status and prestige will be greatly damaged.
Although everyone knew the dangers of losing Tamna Island, and knew that the fate of the Matsuura Party would be very miserable, Matsuura Takanobu also had to make the final decision to survive.
It was at this time that Zhengheng, as the founder of the Date family and the new man of the Wa Kingdom of Nuoda, took the initiative to cover the war opened by Matsuura Takanobu and deprived a small part of the land of Tamna Island not only did not look ugly, but took the initiative to bear the pressure from the Korean Kingdom for Matsuura Takanobu, which was more beneficial than disadvantageous for the Matsuura family in the short term or long term.
This is a very clear signal, as long as Matsuura Takanobu advances to gain a firm foothold, the Date family will quickly enter Tamna Island at some point in the future, and compete with the Korean Kingdom for control of the situation.
Matsuhira's connivance in Matsuura Takanobu's behavior of starting a war is a very strong signal, indicating that he has passed the confused period of dilemma, and his eyes are overseas, which is a very critical signal, after all, for the reckless Japanese state, no stabilization measures can be more simple and crude than the use of force to solve the problem.
If you want to calm down the internal contradictions, the simplest and rude way is to divert your attention to the outside world, shift everyone's interest overseas, and don't limit your eyes to the one acre and three points of land in the Japanese country.
Since Matsuura Takanobu is subservient to the Date family, no matter what Matsuura Takanobu has done, the Date family will be responsible for the results of any of his actions, in this case, Masahiro will naturally bear the greatest responsibility for Matsuura Takanobu's behavior of starting a war.
The difference between acquiescence and recognition is enormous, and for those who are no longer confined to the Wa Kingdom, as time goes by, more and more people will bring up the Matsuura Takanobu and Tamna Island incidents again and again, and the words before the meeting will also be brought up countless times, which will become the beginning of the Wa Kingdom's expansion into the outside world.
People will say that Takanbu Matsuura can do it, why can't they?
The Tamna Island incident will ferment over time and involve the interests of all parties, but at today's meeting, this matter is just a small episode after all, and everyone is concerned about the adjudication of the Battle of Kyushu, which is what everyone cares about.
From the perspective of the interests of the Date family, in the long run, in fact, the Tamna Island incident is the event that should be paid the most attention, in fact, Zhengheng did not pay enough attention to the development of the Tamna Island incident, which made him appear to be a little passive in the subsequent changes, and he had to be dragged into the water step by step, embarking on the road he was most unwilling to take, and then achieved a great cause in the right time and place.
It was precisely because of this that Shoheng did not continue with the incident of Takanobu Matsuura and Tamnado, and turned the conversation to the final ruling in Kyushu.
It's called the ruling, but the real thing that is actually covered up is the separation, the Date family has risen all the way, and there are many people who have made great achievements, and now that he is sitting on most of the Wa Kingdom, it's time to think about it.
As mentioned above, the ruling was made by Noyama Masato, Ishikawa Hisataka, Miyahara Masasig, and Akagi Takao to investigate the merits of the generals in the Battle of Kyushu in order to reward their merits.
Noyama Yoshitomo is not only the head of the Date family, but also the commander of the Fourth ** Regiment, who made great contributions in the battles of Shikoku and Kyushu, although Ishikawa Hissataka, Miyahara Masashige, and Akagi Takao are not as good as the former in terms of military exploits, but their conscientiousness ensures the food of more than 200,000 troops, which can also be said to be a great contribution, and their own rewards and fortunes represent an upper limit of the Date family.
Noyama Daiena Yanyi Dynasty 320,000 stone (Shikoku Awa, Sanki)
Ishikawa Naga Hisataka 240,000 stone (Toyozen Kokura, Bichu Takamatsu)
Miyahara Tanba Morimasa weighs 210,000 stone (Chikugo Kurume)
Akagi Shikibu Daisuke Kaohsiung 200,000 stone (Hizen Kashima, Tamba Kameyama)
Regardless of Noyama Masato's outstanding military achievements, he actually did not increase the number of stone heights after the Battle of Kyushu, but it was clear that his merits were clarified, Ishikawa Hisataka and Miyahara Masashi renamed and increased the stone high, in fact, everyone knows that their heirs are all the sons of Masaki, that is to say, the Ishikawa family and the Miyahara family can be said to be the relatives of the Date family, so it can be seen that the treatment of the old man of the Bitou family and the relatives is very meager, but no one complained.
Noyama Yoshitomo, who was the most knowledgeable and powerful, and was even able to influence the decisions of political balances, had already rejected Karoku too much with 320,000 koku, and the merits of Hisataka Ishikawa, Miyahara Masashige, and Akagi Takao were not comparable to others, so that the reward was enough to appease the retainers and prevent them from disagreeing again.
Although he is still in the prime of life, in recent years, he has taken a lot of wives and concubines in order to give birth to children, but he has only left a son-in-law for him for many years, and it is a pity that he has hinted to Zhengheng more than once in private whether he can succeed a son to become his son-in-law and adopted son, and be able to inherit the Date family Noyama.
In any case, even the highly meritorious Noyama Masaki only received 320,000 koku, and the rest of the generals naturally could not compare, and the rewards and punishments for the Battle of Kyushu were basically completed three days later. 2k reading web
