Chapter 1017: Independence and Vassalage (4)
When Zhang Zhongjun and Takegami Muraki were drinking alone, Zhang Zhongjun realized that this time he went to the Heyuan family in Heyuan County to ask for vassals, but it didn't go well at first.
Because Zhang Zhongjun's so-called identity of Kurokawa Masatoku is just a general of the Shigaru family who died in the Zichuan family, his status is low, and he is also a samurai who has been destroyed.
So when Takegami Muraki applied for submission, the Heyuan family scoffed.
The reception of the Heyuan family said very bluntly: "A foreign warrior who does not have a subordinate general is not qualified to belong to the Heyuan family at all." ”
This is said in an atmospheric manner, but it is also the truth, since it is said that the subject is here, it must be the identity of the martial family, only the identity of the martial family can be said to be a subordinate, and only the person who is a general can be called a martial artist. And it's not an ordinary general who has this qualification, and only a general who knows more than 5,000 koku has the qualification to be called a samurai.
For an existence like Zhang Zhongjun, the people of the Heyuan family directly waved their hands with a proud look: "An identity like your family at the level of an ashigaru general can serve my Heyuan family, but it must be demoted to the level of ashigaru captain." If you don't want to, then wait for my Heyuan family to issue a crusade order. ”
Takegami Muraki was not frightened, but said very indifferently: "Although my lord is the original Ashigaru general level of the Zichuan family, isn't this Zichuan family destroyed? So the identity of this Ashigaru general no longer counts, but my lord has completely controlled a village, and he has more than 10,000 stones, such a samurai is not qualified to be subordinate to the Heyuan family, so I really don't know what identity to be subordinate to the Heyuan family." The threshold for coming to Heyuan's house isn't so high, right?"
Takegami Muraki's words were so frightened that the reception of the priest jumped up, Wanshi Zhixing is a threshold, although the outside default has 5,000 stone of the general's personality will be called a martial artist, but really to say, when Zhixing reaches 10,000 stones, it will be called a real martial artist.
You don't even need to care about anything else, as long as you have the height of ten thousand stones, then you will definitely be regarded as a martial artist.
So now a samurai with ten thousand stones knows how to go, and he is ready to be subordinate to the Heyuan family, and the governors and important ministers of the Heyuan family have to be treated carefully. And you can't slack off, because once it spreads, it will only seem that the Heyuan family is arrogant, and the samurai with ten thousand stones of knowledge come to the subordinates, and they actually look like they ignore it, and if they spread it, I'm afraid that the reputation of the Heyuan family will fall directly!
After some chaos, the governor of the Heyuan family, the head of the pen and the important ministers, personally received the Takegami Village tree, inquired about the situation of Beihuang Village and the situation of Kurokawa Masatoku, and also inspected the subordinate documents written by Zhang Zhongjun himself.
After a polite time, Takegami Muraki was invited to rest, and then the people of the Heyuan family began to discuss, in fact, this discussion has nothing to do with whether to accept Zhang Zhongjun's subordinates, needless to say, someone came to the subordinates, and with so much knowledge and deeds to the subordinates, the idiot will push it out.
If other people come to be a vassal, the Heyuan family will still wonder if they are causing trouble outside, and want to borrow the tiger skin of the Heyuan family to shelter them, and accepting such a foreign minister will not cause big trouble.
But this Kurokawa Masanori, it turned out that he was a retainer of the Zichuan family, or a retainer of the level of the Ashigaru general, and the Zichuan family was destroyed by himself, where else could this Kurokawa Masanori cause any trouble, so if this kind of samurai is accepted, it will only strengthen the prestige and power of the Heyuan family, and there will be no trouble.
Anyway, the troubles under Heyuan County, the Heyuan family really doesn't care at all, although they guard a Heyuan county town, they are far from the identity of the county lord, and they do not master other county seats, but the town is directly under several, and the background is also very sufficient. After all, there are no longer a few county lords and town lords under the banner of those vassals and the Heyuan family, and there are even more village lords. Therefore, he is not afraid to accept foreign ministers casually, especially since this foreign minister is still in his own county, and there is no trouble at all.
So what they discussed was what level of spy ninja to send to find out the truth of the matter.
As for why you don't want to kill Zhang Zhongjun directly, and then take this Beihuang Village?
There are two reasons for the Heyuan family to never think about this problem, one is that the main forces of the Heyuan family are concentrated in the county town of Heyuan, and there is no line to connect to a place like Beihuang Village, not to mention the problem of not being able to fight, how to govern it alone is a super big problem, this kind of place equal to an enclave, if you take it down, not only will it not increase its power, but it will also weaken its own strength!
This can be seen as long as the Heyuan family forces Zijin County to become an independent subordinate, and they don't want any benefits, and they turn around and leave. The Heyuan family doesn't need a territory without connections, that is, it doesn't need an enclave, not even a county-level territory, and it is even more impossible to have a more distant village-level territory.
There is also a reason for them not to do it, Zhang Zhongjun is a vassal, and the Heyuan family really wants to kill this kind of samurai who wants to be subordinate to themselves and take away the family business, as long as this matter begins, then wait for the other vassals to rebel, and it is impossible to say that the direct retainers in the family will follow the rebellion. Because the Heyuan family dares to do this, then it is already considered a violation of the rules, and it will definitely be taken credit by the crowd.
For the sake of a distant place, a Wanshi Zhixing who can't be effectively controlled at all, has made everyone spurned, betrayed relatives, and besieged in groups, and the Heyuan family will not do this even if all the people become idiots.
Therefore, after the spy ninja quickly determined that Zhang Zhongjun really controlled Beihuang Village as a general of Ashigaru, the Heyuan family quickly recognized Zhang Zhongjun's subordinates. Of course, it is inevitable that everyone will envy Zhang Zhongjun's good luck.
Isn't it? The Heyuan family made such a big battle, and it took a large number of people to wipe out the nouveau riche of the Zichuan family, and he paid so much but only got a benefit that no one would threaten him.
As a result, there was only a small number of Ashishi Zhixing's Ashigaru generals, because all the original samurai in the village were killed by him, and he was lucky enough to escape back, and as a result, the whole village was just a samurai, and he still had a relatively strong guard force, so he easily monopolized the village that had lost other samurai.
It can be said that this Kurokawa Masanori is the biggest winner in this battle to exterminate the Zichuan family, from a mere general of 100 stone ashigaru to a village owner with 10,000 stone knowledge!
Moreover, he meows the most jealous and jealous village owner, and the land of the entire village belongs to Kurokawa Masanori alone! This is a treatment that countless samurai families can't think of!
