This young emperor was only hastily supported and did not marry a formal official. The only female imperial concubine with a higher status is Haruko Kanshudera. So far, she has only given birth to a concubine for the emperor. As long as she does not give birth to a third child,
It doesn't matter if she is a prince, her influence in the court can only be said to be minimal.
Minamoto no Yoshitoki had no intention of disturbing Shudera Haruko's status. A female imperial concubine is equivalent to a certain level between a noble concubine and a concubine. Depending on whether the emperor is favored or not and the treatment she receives, her status will be promoted or lowered to varying degrees, and she will enter the shogunate.
During that era, many emperors chose to abandon the Richu Palace due to financial constraints. During the Warring States Period, this problem became even more obvious.
Because of the lack of money, the emperor's coronation ceremony was carried out and he had to find local tycoons and daimyo to beg for help. It took ten years to hold it. Because of the lack of money, the emperor's collapsed coffin was parked outside until enough money was collected to hold the ceremony of entering the imperial mausoleum.
The deceased ancestors were allowed to rest in peace, which is somewhat similar to the situation of the Emperor of Zhou in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
Therefore, the current emperor hastily ascended the throne and never thought about the intention of establishing a middle palace. He thought that the court would follow the agreed method and silence everyone if a female emperor gave birth to a prince. However, he never thought of arresting Minamoto Yoshi.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, I respectfully invite the Emperor to marry the late Nakamiya, the legitimate daughter of the late Minamoto court minister Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and the adopted daughter of the Minamoto two Ukonoe generals, Yoshitoki, as Empress Nakamiya.
This immediately blocked all the emperor's escape routes. He knew that his beloved Haruko Kanshudera would only be thrown into the cold palace. This cold palace was not to let her leave the palace and live in seclusion in a nunnery, but that the emperor and all her heirs would lose it.
Regarding the right to inherit the throne, his father, the emperor, was looking forward to this disclosure banquet, and the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were also looking forward to this disclosure banquet.
He knew that this result was far beyond his imagination. It was a surprise that he did not have to be exiled. The female emperor advised Shudera Haruko not to be charged, which was even more magnanimous. Minamoto no Yoshiki was holding the sword of Damocles above the head of the court.
Raising it high and then putting it down gently showed that the shogunate had no intention of suppressing the court, oppressing the emperor, or even participating in the plan to abolish the establishment.
Of course, such magnanimity is not for nothing. Of course, there must be corresponding rewards for giving the court enough face. One of these rewards is to marry Ashikaga Kaguhime as the middle palace. According to the rules of the court, when marrying into the imperial family, you must change your name to Minamoto Teruko, Minamoto no Yoshi.
At this time, we once again achieved a major event that the previous two generations of shoguns wanted to do but failed to do. Marrying the daughter of the samurai family to the emperor as a middle palace, and integrating the blood of the shogun into the imperial family has been the long-cherished wish of many generations of shoguns.
Only through influence can one truly control the court, and he finally did it.
Holding a disclosure banquet to marry the legitimate daughter of Ashikaga Yoshiteru and the adopted daughter of Minamoto no Yoshitoshi to the emperor, means that Minamoto no Yoshitoshi must make peace with the young emperor and let the past disappear with the wind. The court and the shogunate will
Let's look forward together and stop worrying about which side is more authoritative. This made everyone in the imperial court very grateful to Minamoto no Yoshiki, including the Emperor Masachikamachi and the current Emperor.
Next is the feedback from the imperial court. It coincides with the beginning of winter, which is the annual meeting period of the imperial court to decide the order of promotion and demotion of official positions. Minamoto no Yoshitomo was appointed by the emperor to officially open the ceremony. He resigned as the imperial eunuch of Umariao and was promoted to Shosho. Two internal ministers and Ukonoe
The general is like Yuan, who is in charge of the machiyuan academy. The general who conquers the barbarians declares it. The elder of the Minamoto family declares it.
The Shochi-machi branch is the administrative office of Emperor Masachika. It is a purely honorary position to show the closeness and love of Emperor Masachika to him. The two schools of Junwa scholarship are the two houses under the leadership of the elder Genji.
The territorial restaurants in Kyoto City, the restaurants of these two institutions were definitely a coveted resource during the Heian period, but in the hands of the shogunate, they became purely icing on the cake.
The opening ceremony will be postponed for several months, just like the disclosure banquet for the Emperor to marry the Empress of the Middle Palace cannot be held in two or three months of preparation. However, this does not affect the declaration of the General of the Conquest of Yi during the Minamoto period.
From that day forward, he became the new generation general of the Ashikaga Shogunate who conquered the barbarians, and from then on he became the undisputed pillar of the samurai family and the Minamoto family.
Minamoto no Yoshitsune expressed his attitude to the imperial court. The shogunate's imperial palace would remain unchanged at Edo Castle. It was very important to guard Kanto and protect Japan's eastern heartland. Apart from the 280,000 Eastern Army soldiers who had won a great victory, it would have been earlier.
The Jokyu Rebellion of the Kamakura Shogunate, the earlier Taira Shomon Rebellion, and the Taira Tadatsuki Rebellion were all caused by Kanto. If the Eastern Kingdom is not defended, the world will be in chaos.
But there is a theory on how to defend. Minamoto no Yoshitoki's attitude was that the future shogun would sit in Edo, Haruka would lead Mutsu to guard the fort, Kyushu dazai Kaishai would guard the four directions, and the retired shogun would return to Kyoto as a magistrate to maintain the honor value.
The overall situation of peace and stability in Gyeonggi remains unchanged, so he will make further adjustments to the transfer.
In addition to Minamoto no Yoshi's promotion, Konoe Maekyu returned to Kyoto with his family. The reason why he came back so late was that Ashikaga Katsuhime gave birth to another son for Konoe Maekyu. Before Konoe Maekyu came to Edo at the beginning of the year, Ashikaga
Katsuhime was already pregnant and gave birth to the Konoe family's fourth legitimate son in mid-summer. She did not return to the capital until she was well enough in early October.
This time Konoe moved back to Kyoto to regain what he had lost. Nijo Haruyoshi, his son Kujo Kanetaka, Nijo Akira and their two underage legitimate sons were exiled to Oki Island, but he was reinstated at the end of the year.
Taking the opportunity to further reach the peak of the public minister, he first recaptured a left minister, then Guan Bai announced, one announced, the elder of the Fujiwara clan announced, and the inner view was like Yuan, one represents that he will become the first public minister of the dynasty.
Minamoto no Yoshi's uncle, Nakain Toshi, came back, and with the strong support of his nephew, he was promoted when he came back. He was far beyond the top official of the minister's family, and was promoted to a right minister. Don't underestimate the progress from the two inner ministers to the right minister.
This small step is the natural dividing line between the ministerial family and the Tsinghua family. In the ministerial family, promotion to the second rank of minister is already the limit.
This is not the Tokugawa era where the rules have changed a bit. This invisible ceiling blocks the advancement of the Nakain family. Today's promotion to the first rank will mean a change in the Nakain family's family status. This is what Minamoto no Yoshitoki wants.
The change must not only be a change but also a more thorough one, that is, a major operation on the imperial clique.
First, the Zhongyuan family moved the family into the Qinghua family. Then Zhongyuan Tongsheng's eldest son Zhongyuan Tongsheng succeeded the Kuga family and became the adopted son of Kuga Tongjian. He inherited the Kuga family and changed his name to Kuga Tongqian. This is the beginning of
The Konoe family bloodline, which was directly descended from the Fujiwara Kita family, became the Murakami Genji bloodline again. Nakain Toshimi's second son Genfu was named Nakain Tosho and inherited the family. The third son inherited the Tsuchimikado family, which had been extinct for three hundred years.
The fourth son is preparing to inherit the Horikawa family, and Abe Seimei's Tsuchimikado family is changed to the Fujitani family.
Secondly, Kuga Michiken's five-year-old legitimate son returned to the clan of the Konoe family. As the son of his uncle Konoe Maekyu, he inherited the name of the Takaji family, one of the five extinct five shogi families, and the name of the Yue family. When I was in charge of Yingshi, I was promoted to the fifth position of Xuguan. After a few days, I was promoted to the third position of Xuguan, and my promotion was as fast as a rocket.
This time, it turned out that the Kuga family, which the Konoe family had painstakingly arranged, was taken away, handed over to the Nakain family of his mother's family, and then returned to the Konoe family, one of the five heirlooms, Takaji. This time, the Konoe family is more profitable. The nephew and Yuko became the governor of the Takaji family of the Konoe family. This will greatly increase the Konoe family's voice in the court in the future.
Next, Minamoto no Yoshitoki's actions were even greater. First, Konoe Maekyu's eldest son Motofu, who was only eight years old, was given the title of Konoe Yoshitsugu by Minamoto no Yoshitoki, and he was quickly promoted to the third rank. After adopting the six-year-old second son to the Nijo family who had no heirs, he renamed it Nijo Tokiki. Then he adopted the second son, who was two years old, to the Ichijo family and renamed it Ichijo Toki. Finally, the fourth son was born and it really didn’t matter. The method is suppressed for the time being, and the youngest son is destined to inherit the Kujo family.
There are four sons of the Konoe family, the eldest son inherits the Konoe family, the second son adopts the Nijo family, the third son adopts the Ichijo family, the fourth son adopts the Kujo family, and the cousin and Yuko adopts the Takaji family, which is equivalent to passing the fifth son to the Takaji family. The reunification of the bloodline seems to have brought the Fujiwara family back to the way it was at the end of the Heian period. They looked extremely arrogant and domineering, but in fact this was just an act of emulating others.
Both the Imperial family and the Nijo family had adopted legitimate sons to inherit the Konoe family, and the Takaji family's impulse was interrupted by the unexpected appearance of Yumoto Yoshitoki. The eldest of Nijo Haruyoshi's four sons was adopted by the Kujo family. The second son inherited the Nijo family, the third son is about to be sent to a Shingon sect temple to practice, and the fourth son is still considering inheriting the Takaji family. His plan is to use the method of encirclement, suppression and cannibalization to eliminate the political opponents Konoe family bit by bit. There is no other way than to let the political opponents join the family An even more ruthless move.
During the Minamoto no Yoshi period, this was a way of treating others in their own way. If you like to adopt other people's families, it is better to adopt your own family first. All the Gosaku family will be replaced by the blood of the Konoe family, which will completely end the legacy that started in the Genpei era. In the scene where the two factions of Konoe and Kujo are attacking, the imperial court will become a happy family, at least in the short term.
The Nijo Haruyo and his party who were originally entrenched in the imperial court were wiped out. The Hanayamain family and the Daisui Mikado family who were affected by Nijo Haruyo's separation were also reprimanded. Imadegawa Haruyuki was promoted to the second position of Shoudai Nagon, and his eldest son was only five years old. When he passed away, he inherited the Huashanyuan family, and Yuanfu changed his name to Huashanyuan Zhongxi.
The Osai Mikado family was succeeded by Nobutaka, the second son of the Saionji clan who came to the shogunate. The second chief minister, Nayan Tokudaiji, died without an heir. Tokudaiji, the son of Tokudaiji Koji, who lived in Kanto in his early years, inherited the family. Miku inherited the family and was quickly promoted to the four lower councilors and Lieutenant General Sakonoe. In this way, the Tsinghua family, like the Shoseki family, was completely controlled by the ministers who were pro-shogunate.
By marrying the adopted daughter to the new emperor, the change of direction ensures the legitimacy of the emperor's throne. Naturally, the new emperor's new era name must be recognized. At the beginning of the year, when the new emperor ascended the throne, the new emperor's era name was changed to Gengui, so it was discussed at the court meeting at the end of the year. This year is the first year of the Yuangui calendar in all calendars. At this time, this chaotic year is gradually coming to an end.
The court meeting in the first month of the second year of Yuangui (1570) was probably the largest in recent decades. Minamoto no Yoshitoki, as the internal minister, presided over the court meeting with Kanbaiki, left minister Konoe Maekyu, and right minister Zhongyuan Tong.
In addition to some ceremonial activities at the court meeting, there was also the most important issue, the rationing of royal materials by the ministers of the court.
Originally, the entire world belonged to the imperial court. There were thousands of manors owned by the imperial family, and thousands more owned by Duke Guan. As a result, local warriors usurped the real power of the local areas and established a samurai shogunate system that was unique from the imperial court.
, during the Chengjiu Rebellion, very few of the royal estates were deprived of, and by the Onin Rebellion, even the few remaining royal estates were occupied by local people. At this time, the imperial court very much hoped that the new general could stand up and restore those estates for them.
taxing power.
When it comes to the issue of a full stomach, there is no small matter. What the Lord dreams of is nothing more than good food and good housing. Judging from the happy cooperation between Minamoto no Yoshitoki and the court over the years, this new general is also a very easy-to-talk warrior.
That's why they dared to put forward some of their ardent hopes. Everyone, including the current emperor of the town and the new emperor who is sitting in the court, as well as Sekishiro Konoe Maekyu and his uncle Nakain Michio are concerned about this issue.
It was interesting to see the eager expressions on their necks when Yuan Yi was craning his neck. He chuckled and said, "I knew that during the ban, the Duke's royal palace did not have much access to. In the past, frequent wars had caused the imperial court to be embarrassed and the Duke suffered, so I wanted to support the imperial court."
In order to protect the country, we only consider that it is not easy to collect taxes from the far country manor, and due to the war that affected the displacement of the native people, it is also difficult to collect some taxes from the places where the far country is located. If you encounter cunning people who entangle with the princes and cause lawsuits
, do you still want me to wait for the noble minister to put down my face and start a lawsuit? This is disgraceful!"
The ministers were so embarrassed that they could not raise their heads. They were so embarrassed. Which family among the ministers did not have the experience of a family governor personally supervising taxes. It would not be strange to have some lawsuits that lasted for ten or eight years. For example, twenty years ago, Shan Keyan continued
Because of his family's power to collect taxes from the Royal Food Service, he repeatedly gave gifts to former shogun Ashikaga Yoshiharu.
Another example is Minamoto no Yoshitoki's uncle. When he was a right minister in the imperial court, Chu Yuan Tongwei, when he was in office, he was entangled in Kaga country for more than ten years to collect taxes for his village. It was not because he was shameless and wanted to blackmail him.
Money, but that Zhuangzi is their family's manor. Without the food income from the manor, he would have no food to eat, so when he struggled with the unruly people of Xiangzong for more than ten years and accumulated rich experience, he was vigorously appointed and promoted by the imperial court.
Let him help the court fight a lawsuit with the village in the countryside. Only by winning the lawsuit can he receive the tax.
The young emperor couldn't help but inquire: "Does Yuanqing have any solution?"
Gengyoshi bowed and said: "I think that one policy can solve all the difficulties. Please ask the imperial court to transfer the ownership of the imperial materials land in Yuanguo to the shogunate. Then the shogunate will divide a piece of imperial materials in the ki and place it in the forbidden area.
I solemnly promise you that the land you will get will definitely satisfy Your Majesty and you."
What he said aroused the curiosity of many ministers. Imedekawa Haruki asked: "What is the area where the unexpected place is located?"
Minamoto no Yoshishi said: "The average grain output of the three countries of Yamashiro, Tanba, and Tango is about 650,000 koku. After excluding the factors of disaster years and calculating the annual tribute of 60%, the annual grain collection can be about 400,000 koku.
, excluding the taxes in Kyoto, taxes such as intermittent money, building farewell money, etc. are about 80,000 guanwen. What I mean is to classify these three countries as royal materials for the imperial court. I wonder what you want?"
"Wow! So many..." The little nephew who is only eight years old, but is already the Konoe Yoshitsugu of the three Sakonoe Lieutenant Generals, exclaimed. The ministers in the court also looked at each other in amazement. Four hundred thousand koku of food every year,
What is the concept of 80,000 guan Yongle money? At least it can only be compared with the total annual income of a million gu daimyo. Minamoto no Yoshishi gave it to the court so generously.
Yuan Yishi smiled and said: "Is it much? In fact, it is not much. I can assure your majesty and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty that the lands of the Three Kingdoms are under the jurisdiction of the agents appointed by the shogunate. They will cultivate the land year by year and open up wasteland every year. It will not take thirty years.
It is not a big problem if the height of the stone increases to 800,000 stone. Then, after renovating the streets and merging villages, building riverbanks and excavating the Shinhori River, we can repay the court a million stone in a hundred years at most, and we can harvest 600,000 stone in annual tribute alone!"
The ministers couldn't help but exclaimed, and almost jumped up and cheered in excitement. Thanks to their many years of experience in officialdom, they suppressed this impulse. The pragmatic ministers immediately abandoned their enthusiasm and actively devoted themselves to the process of dividing the possessions of each royal family.
Among them, the first thing to determine was the emperor's royal land. After all, it was the leader of the aristocratic group, and the emperor had much more royal land than the ministers.
Next is the Gosaku family, Konoe, Kujo, Takaji, Nijo, Ichibo, and then it is the turn of Kuseika, Kuga, Sanjo, Saionji, Tokudaiji, Nakain, Hanazanin, Osaimikamon, Imadegawa, and Tsuchimika
Gate, here the Nakain family has a family style, and Tsuchimikamon is a famous Kamakura family that was adopted and revived by the Nakain family. The Qinghua family was given to this family for the sake of Minamoto no Yoshi, and the subsequent minister family, Habayashi family,
Famous families, semi-famous families, and underground families are arranged in order.
After more than ten days of fierce debate, a set of division plans was finally arrived at. The Emperor's noble status naturally got the largest piece. The branch was in Tanba, Tango's 200,000 stone forbidden royal material land, and five photos.
The family is the crown prince of the ministers, and each family receives 25,000 dan. The Jiuqinghua family has a high status, and each family receives 12,000 dan.
Only the Sanjo Nishi family and the Masachika-machi Sanjo family are left in the minister's family. Because of the Nakain family's family status, special care is given to the stone heights of these two families. Each family is given ten thousand stone close to the Qinghua family. The Habayashi family and the Ming family
There are a total of forty families, and each family has an average profit of 4,000 dan. This uses 610,000 dan. The remaining 670,000 dan are shared by the 16 half families and the 62 underground families.
.
As for the 80,000 guanwen Yongle money, it will be divided according to the same plan. The emperor can draw 20,000 guanwen, 2,500 guanwen from the Wushe family, 1,200 guanwen from the Jiuqinghua family, and 1,000 guanwen from the minister's family.
The Habayashi family and the famous family received 400 kanmon, while the half-family and underground families received ranging from a few hundred kanmon to dozens of kanmon. With money, food and clothing, the emperor and court officials were very satisfied with this plan, and the figures they received were compared to
It was more than ten times what they imagined, and they couldn't be more satisfied.
After the first month of the first lunar month, it was the time of the emperor's wedding. A disclosure banquet was held in Ouchi. Minamoto Yoshitoki attended as the woman's adoptive father. The wedding ceremony with the support of the shogun was certainly very luxurious, with flowers paving the way and golden drums singing. At the disclosure banquet, Akira was specially invited.
The chef from Guo Jiangnan took charge of the cooking. He knew that the taboo food of the imperial family was animals. He specially selected fish from the sea as the main ingredient and paired it with various vegetables to prepare twenty-four exquisite dishes. It was an eye-opener and a feast for all the ministers of the court.
.
The wedding was a great success. The young emperor was very fascinated by the beauty of Minamoto Teruko. He greatly praised the Minamoto family as worthy of the Emperor's favor. At the end of the disclosure banquet, he suddenly said to Minamoto Yoshiki: "I love Teruko very much."
I mean, it’s just that I always have a regret in my heart!”
"Your Majesty, I understand!" Minamoto Yoshishi pondered: "How about this, how about giving the prince born to Haruko Fujiwara a palace name, Prince Arisikawa?"
The emperor nodded gratefully: "This way I can feel at ease."
The emperor's wedding was held at the beginning of February, and at the end of the month was the opening ceremony. The so-called ceremony was to send out the elite of the shogunate, entering from the seven entrances of Kyoto and parade around the city. The majestic samurai with swords on their backs rode majestically around Kyoto.
We came to Ishikimizu Hachimangu Shrine for a week to offer sacrifices, and then Konoe Maekyu announced the opening ceremony.
The imperial residence of the shogunate was set in Edo. This was communicated with the court in advance. What was announced next was the reward from the shogunate. This was what the shogunate's heroes were most concerned about. Minamoto no Yoshitoki said loudly: "Since Mikawa raised his troops, the two
For ten years, it was all thanks to the sacrifice of your brave officers and men that the shogunate was reestablished. Now that the sea is peaceful and the world is quiet, I should do your best to reward you for your service! The first achievement was made by Fujiwara court minister Xingzhi, who played the role of Shoin.
, If you violate the law, you will not be punished, Uesugi Teruhu enters the Tao with humility!"
There is no doubt that Uesugi Kenshin was the first to contribute. The reward he received was the total reward of 2.3 million stone from the three kingdoms of Echigo, Kyushu Chikuzen, Chikugo, and Higo. There is of course a reason why he was rewarded so much.
Yes, Minamoto no Yoshi borrowed Uesugi Kenshin's troops from the Echigo Kingdom to conquer the world, and finally turned Uesugi Kenshin into his own retainer, which was a bit embarrassing.
At first glance, this bounty seems to be very large. In fact, the 1.5 million stone of the Echigo half country is directly under Uesugi Kenshin. Over the years, he has successively given bounties to some sub-counties of Echichu, Kaga, Musashi, Josu, Hitachi and other countries.
There are also about 500,000 dan, but the actual increase in reward this time is only 300,000 dan. There are too few places and too many people, so he can only be given a reward of 2.3 million dan.
If another retainer had so many rewards, Minamoto no Yoshiki would definitely consider finding an opportunity to depose him, but Uesugi Kenshin would definitely not have a problem. He believed in gods and Buddhas and abided by the rules and precepts all his life. Since he became ill after drinking many years ago, he would not drink alcohol or eat meat.
They all gave up the habit, ate fasting, chanted Buddha's name and became a vegetarian every day, and did not marry or have children.
The only heir to the territory was Minamoto Yoshitoki's legitimate son, his nephew and only disciple Ashikaga Yoshiyasu. Even if he was given more territorial rewards, they would eventually be given to Ashikaga Yoshiyasu. As the last Kanto governor of the Muromachi shogunate, E
The first imperial minister of the Toshogunate was outstanding among others, and no one would find fault with him to protest after receiving so many favors.
The second meritorious service goes to Yukitaka Sanada. Although he was a retired general and joined the army a little later, his contribution is very great. Since he was only rewarded with 50,000 koku more than ten years ago, he has made contributions in battles one after another, which proves that he is a great leader.
As an outstanding samurai who could confidently and boldly appoint a general, Minamoto Yoshitoki decided to give him a reward of 400,000 stone from the Kii Kingdom.
Then there is Yamamoto Michiki. This veteran minister basically faded out of the shogunate system ten years ago. In recent years, he has been accompanying the imperial ministers and not paying attention to worldly affairs. However, it is undeniable that his help to Minamoto Yoshitoki is huge.
, the little boy who lived in Saijo Castle in Mikawa Province more than 20 years ago could grow up to be the shogunate and the pillar of the military family. The role of this veteran minister is the greatest.
The reward that Yamamoto Michiki received was Awa and Awaji, totaling 400,000 koku. Since his political successor was Numata Yumitsu's eldest son, Yamamoto Yukimitsu, Numata Yumitsu took advantage of the situation and made a request to give up his share of the reward. The father and son received two gifts. The reward was a bit of an attempt to take advantage of the shogunate. When he gave his eldest son to Yamamoto Michiki as his heir, he never thought of taking advantage. This made him very embarrassed.
Then there is Mogami Yoshimitsu. Although his military exploits have little influence, they only affect Yuou. His younger sister, Mogami Yoshiki, was still the wife of Minamoto Yoshiki. She became an old bastard of the Genedai family early and has a very high status. The reward he received was rich. The former country had 350,000 dan, and the territory of Dewa Kingdom increased from 300,000 dan more than ten years ago, of which the direct leader only had 100,000 dan to 350,000 dan. This figure is also a very exaggerated increase.
The Hojo government received many rewards. As a major general who went south to Kanto, although he followed Minamoto no Yoshi late, he was a retainer with a very far-reaching influence. The Hojo retainers group was fully absorbed into the shogunate system, and his dedication to Kanto The system was a huge enrichment and improvement, and the optimized evaluation system and five-color preparation system also brought a lot of inspiration to the shogunate.
The most important thing is that Hojo Ujiyasu, a samurai at the level of a living fossil, was very helpful to Minamoto Yoshitoki in his decision-making. The Hojo family's original territory of 150,000 koku in Sagami Province also continued to increase to 250,000 koku for meritorious service. Yishi decided to give him 450,000 dan from Bungo Kingdom, and the reward was increased to 200,000 dan.
These figures are accurate figures obtained by taking into account the reclamation difficulty, soil quality, and climate over the years, as well as the harvest in the past six months. We have personally gone to Kyushu to measure the reclaimed land and uncultivated wasteland and tidal flats to develop new fields in Echigo Kanto. After more than ten years, I still have this kind of discernment.
These are the only ones with an increase of more than 200,000 koku. The next one is Satake Yishige's transfer of 300,000 koku from Mutsu Kokusai Tsu County. This was originally the territory of the Ashina Mori clan, which was highly developed and very wealthy. Counting Satake Yishige The territory has also increased by about 150,000 shi, which is a very ideal number.
Takeda Nobushige was a surrendered general during the White Flag Rebellion, but the reward he received was very interesting. Minamoto no Yoshi asked him to take the Kai samurai and transfer it to An Yun Kingdom for 250,000 koku. It seems that this is where Mourimoto started his career. It's not much higher than Kai. In fact, it only needs some development to grow to 300,000 koku.
With the long coastline, rich fishery resources, and most importantly, the warm and humid climate, the Takeda family can ensure that they live a very comfortable life here. In the future, the rustic warriors of Kai will no longer have to complain about being too poor in the mountains. Faguo clamored to go out and fight for rebellion.
Nakajo Tokihide's territory is 150,000 koku in northern Yamato Province, Kakizaki Keike's territory is in Minamiomia 100,000 kiku, Saito Asanobu's territory is in Izumi Province, and Takigawa Tokiyoshi's territory is in North Omi 100,000 ki. , Shima Tokikatsu returned to Yamato Kokutaira Gundani with 100,000 koku, and Okouchi Kokutsuna returned to Wakasa Province with 90,000 koku.
Hosokawa Fujitaka received 150,000 koku in Kawachi Province, Matsui Tomoyuki received 100,000 koku in Minami-Omi, Matsui Masayuki and his younger brother got 50,000 koku as companions, Ina Tadaie received 50,000 koku in Settsu Province, Mitsui Torakan received 50,000 koku in Toe, and Ninagawa Chi The elders, Odate Harutada, and Yanasawa Motomasa were all rewarded with 30,000 shi. Okouchi Kunizuna received 50,000 shi in Nishi-Mikawa, and his younger brother Okouchi Hidetsuna also received 50,000 shi in his hometown Nishi-Mikawa.
Honda was awarded 100,000 koku in Higashi Mikawa, and his younger brother Honda Masashige also had 30,000 koku in Kai. Watanabe Moritsuna, Naito Masashige, and Kato Kyouaki all received 80,000 koku. As seniors, they have excellent abilities, but they do not have the ability to stand alone. samurai, this Shi Gao is still a satisfactory number.
Kitahata Totobo had the status of a public minister, and was moved into the Habayashi family by Minamoto no Yoshitoki. However, his salary was obtained from the shogunate. In the third year of Yuangui, he was promoted to the third rank of Shochu Nagan. As a public minister who has served as an official in the shogunate system for many years, His stone-high watch also enjoys the special treatment of 100,000 stones from Meinong Country.
As the son-in-law of Minamoto no Yoshi, Oda Nobutada was also the orphan of Oda Nobunaga, the general of the Western Army. The role and significance of gathering the old ministers of the Oda family was very important. Minamoto no Yoshi gave him a territory of 200,000 koku in half of Owari Province. , it is fair to give Oda Nobunaga a complete explanation that he did not treat his children badly.
Date Terumune has made some achievements over the years, but his territory was reduced once when he was in the wrong team. This time he just transferred it to Dewa Province to receive 200,000 stone as a reward. His relatives Ashina Mori and his son Ashina Shenglong didn't make many achievements. He was on the wrong team and his title was reduced once again that year. This time he was transferred to Yonezawa for 180,000 koku.
Yuuki Haruto transferred 50,000 shi to Fukushima, Mutsu Province, Oyama Hidetsuna transferred 50,000 shi to Nihonmatsu, Ōbsada Province transferred 50,000 shi to Minami-Shinano Ina County, and one of his relatives also transferred to Shinano and other places with the permission of the shogunate. The governor of the Musashi Chiba clan, Chiba Yinzong, passed his legitimate son to Chiba Yintomi, the governor of the Chiba clan, as his heir. The two families merged and the whole family was transferred to Minami-Shinano, Suwa County, and Chima County.
Tachibana Michizuki transferred 50,000 shi to the Satsuma Kingdom, Takahashi Shao transferred 30,000 shi to the Ohsumi Kingdom. Namoshima Naoshima transferred 50,000 shi to the Hyuga Kingdom. The Otomo family, the Ryuzoji family, the Sagara family, the Akizuki family, etc. were all the remaining ministers who were willing to surrender to the shogunate. It was transferred to the two countries of Satsuma and Osumi in Minami Kyushu. Minamoto no Yoshi divided these two countries in a very detailed manner. They would never be given the chance to become a dominant family, and certainly not the chance to join forces.
The Shimazu family, the lords of Satsuma and Osumi, received great praise and were transferred to Hizen Province for 600,000 koku. Compared with Satsuma and Osumi, Osumi is a poor land with abundant rain, fertile soil and developed trade ports. , this Hizen country is simply the dream home of the Shimadzu family. From now on, the Satsuma samurai will no longer have to complain about the difficult life of their family.
Akechi Mitsuhide received the three counties near Kita Omi Otani Castle. It was originally the territory of Asai Nagamasa. This territory had a total of 200,000 koku. As a reward for secretly assisting the shogunate by informing the shogunate over the years, Minamoto no Yoshitoki specifically allowed him to restore the territory. The Miao character of the Toqi family, and he recognized Toqi Laiyun as his adoptive father, and took the old man to Xiaodani City to spend his old age.
It’s quite interesting to talk about. Mitsuhide Akechi’s grandfather married his daughter to Saito Douzan as his first wife. His father and uncle supported Saito Douzan to drive away the clan family Toki Noriun. After 40 years, the reincarnation came back. Back at the starting point, Akechi Mitsuhide welcomed Toki Noriun, who had been driven away by his father and uncle, as his adoptive father. He also changed his Miao name to Toki Norihide to inherit the family business. I didn't know that Akechi Mitsuhide saw the old and sick Toki Noriun. How would you evaluate the ups and downs of thirty years ago?
The transfer was not over yet. The main event of the transfer had just begun. However, he did not rush to complete all the transfers. Instead, he used a whole year to continuously adjust the transfer strategy and give the local lords the ability to block the transfer. The documents guarantee that as long as they do not violate the bottom line of the shogunate, they will not implement the order to reduce or change the seal.
He was busy in Kyoto for a whole year. It was not until the spring of the third year of Gengame (1571), when the emperor and Nakamiya Genteriko gave birth to the first prince, Prince Kazuhito, that he realized that he had stayed in Kyoto for a whole year and was preparing to take care of him.
Returning to Edo with his family papers, he was tied up by the arrangement of the temple community and couldn't escape for a short time.
The shogunate quarreled endlessly with the eminent monks of various temples in the Kinai. They could argue enthusiastically for months for every little benefit. No matter how good-tempered they were, they couldn't stand it. Minamoto no Yoshitoki said angrily: "I express my will.
It is very clear that the maintenance of monks and soldiers by temples is a chronic disease of the world. Master Yama has troubled the imperial shogunate for nearly a thousand years. Even a powerful leader like Shirakawa-in is helpless. I will never allow temples to support monks and soldiers, not in any name."
Kitahata Tōfō was also very unhappy. In the past few months, he either argued about the plan to transfer the shogunate to another, or listened to the quarrels of these great monks. So many things were left unfinished by these self-proclaimed monks, and he said with a sullen face:
"Don't you listen to His Highness the Lord's orders? Don't forget that you are outsiders who have escaped from the mortal world and are not among the five elements. How can you be selfish if you want so many monks and soldiers? There are shogunate officers and soldiers guarding the courtyard. We need them.
What’s the use?”
The monks from all over the prefecture remained silent. After a while, the monks who came to the temple protested: "The monks and soldiers who protect the temple can be dispensed with, but the temple property cannot be reduced. The lord of the Kishu domain, Sanada Yukitaka, led the shogunate officers and troops to seize the land."
I, the leader of the Genlai Temple, should be punished for persecuting my monks and the officials. Please make the decision for us, Your Highness!"
Minamoto no Yoshi snorted coldly and said: "I have already explained this issue many times, let me reiterate it for the last time! The shogunate decree stipulates that temples are not allowed to accumulate property maliciously, and the shogunate temple community is responsible for the management of the monks' records by Master Toraya Sect Yi. According to
The priests of each temple allocate food, lamp oil, Buddhist incense, silk clothes, and hemp shoes. The temples perform waterway rituals for the deceased, consecrate apotheosis, make alms, hold rituals, run cemeteries and other things. These incomes are enough to support you.
You will have enough food and clothing to survive without worrying about hardships, and you must not make mistakes by coveting the territory that those villages have sent to you!"
The monks saw the unhappy look on the shogunate's face, and the generals under his seat were all filled with murderous intent. They immediately remembered that this general was not the weak generals who conquered the barbarians in the past. The samurai who sat down with him were all terrible samurai from Kanto.
, one look can scare people to the point where their legs weaken, and raising the sword can make warriors turn around and run away, just like Shura Yaksha in hell makes people frightened.
The shogun said that he reiterated for the last time, which must be some kind of hint to his retainers. Next time, these samurai might raise their swords to kill them. If the head is moved, wouldn't it be a loss? After all, the head is lost.
It's just household items for eating. There's no point in looking for cheap things when you move your head.
Minamoto Yoshiki took a deep breath and said: "These territories belong to the shogunate and not to you! Considering the special circumstances of the Kinki temples, I will give you another year, starting from today until the next spring.
Under the guidance of the shogunate executive officer, hand over all the temple properties. The temples completed within the time limit will be forgotten, and there will be no need to come to the rest to cry after the time limit. What is waiting for you is the shogunate's official army to clear it up. Where to go, you have to decide for yourself!" (
