. Following the two Shimazu Mori families, the Maeda family, the Uesugi family, and the Satake family withdrew from the battlefield. Also received a seal. These three companies were once delineated by Pang Ning as a large sphere of influence on the map of Japan. They also belong to the peripheral backbone of Pang Ning's Japanese rule.
In the siege of Edo, although Pang Ning won the victory before reinforcements from various vassal towns arrived in Edo. However, daimyo from various places defected to Pang Ning and sent troops to support Pang Ning's siege, which was one of the reasons why General Tokugawa committed suicide. It was precisely because of the rapid attack and fall of Edo Castle that the important ministers of the Tokugawa shogunate were able to take care of everything at once, and the Tokugawa family's treasury was not transferred and hidden. Whether the daimyo sent troops to participate in the siege of Edo was also one of the benchmarks by which Pang Ning measured the merits and demerits of each feudal town.
Because the Maeda family sent troops to participate in the siege of Edo, they sealed the northern part of the Gyeonggi Plain with 400,000 koku. The Uesugi and Satake families were eager to expand their territories and did not send troops to participate. They only sealed 150,000 koku each in northeastern Japan.
The three families were equally overjoyed to receive the sealing reward. Sitting on their knees next to Shimazu Tadatsune and Mouri Hidesunari, the three daimyo proudly looked down at the envious people in the back row, as if they had become defenders of the new shogunate.
The rewards and punishments for other daimyo were also determined based on Iwami Ginzan¡¯s performance in the battle and his surrender attitude after the war.
The feudal lords sitting in the middle row, such as the Date family and the Sanada family, were the "gaib¨ daimyo" who quickly sent troops to participate in the siege of Edo Castle after the defeat. Although they had once been loyal to the Tokugawa family, serving their lord at that time was also a sign of loyalty. Pang Ning did not force them all to the opposite side.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? Actually. The reason why the Date family, Sanada family, etc. were able to quickly reorganize their forces to participate in the siege of Edo Castle after their disastrous defeat in the Battle of Iwami also shows that these foreign daimyo did not use all their strength in the Battle of Iwami.
???????? These foreign daimyo were originally suspected and suppressed by the Tokugawa family. Their territory was all in mountainous areas where it was difficult to march, and Pang Ning actually didn't like them either.
They supported the new regime with practical actions, and Pang Ning controlled their punishment to a certain extent. The treatment of these princes was basically to deprive them of a small part of their territorial ownership, and give them the opportunity to perform meritorious service in the subsequent "bandit suppression" war, or in the war to eliminate the Tokugawa family's "generational daimyo".
With Pang Ning¡¯s leniency, these families also let go of their hearts. The carrot that Pang Ning hung in front of him of "paying for his crime and making meritorious service" made them start to think about how to mobilize their own troops to the maximum extent and cooperate with King Pang to attack the remnants of the Tokugawa family.
Pang Ning's policy forced these princes to work hard for Pang Ning.
The princes in the back row surrendered in writing after the Battle of Iwami, but did not send troops to Edo to assist in the siege. The reason why he surrendered in writing but did not send troops to participate in the siege of Edo may be that he was preparing for both ends of the war, or he went all out in the Battle of Iwami, so that he could not send troops after the disastrous defeat. Pang Ning imposed heavier punishments on daimyo who were insincere or lacked strength.
They basically had half of their territory confiscated, or even most or all of their territory. Even if some territory can be preserved, most of it is not the original place. Pang Ning transferred the territory of these people to the most remote mountainous areas and asked them to move immediately.
With the power of the Battle of Shijian, and the fact that the two previous gangs of princes have actually become Pang Ning's lackeys, these deprived the territory and basic orders. No one dared to resist.
As the saying goes, Pang Ning's strength is only a few thousand sailors, which is not enough to sweep across Japan, but as long as some princes are united, it is still possible to eliminate others. Having such power, coupled with well-founded rewards and punishments, is enough to make people fearful and make the entire ruling structure rock solid. Pang Ning backed the rule of the Kaonan Navy and was more powerful than the Tokugawa family who simply relied on the samurai of the Kanto Plain.
Productivity determines production relations, and the source of ruling power determines the structure of the superstructure. In fact, Pang Ning's power in Japan has exceeded that of the original Tokugawa family.
Originally, the Tokugawa shoguns and Tokugawa clan daimyo territories were mainly distributed in the Kanto Plain and the Gyeonggi Plain. However, because the Tokugawa family was not strong enough when they started, they needed to rely on external assistance. Therefore, there are many wealthy areas in the plains of Japan. Occupied by the Shodai daimyo.
For example, the Todo family originally occupied the coastal plain southwest of Nagoya.
But now, after Pang Ning¡¯s baptism of war, most of the territories of the feudal lords and daimyos of the Tokugawa era have been confiscated and cancelled. It became the direct jurisdiction of Pang Ning. The entire Guandong Plain and the most fertile areas in Japan's Gyeonggi area are already Pang Ning's territory. Edo, Nagoya, Osaka, the most prosperous areas in Japan have all been captured by Pang Ning and swallowed up in one gulp.
If we measure it by the grain output in the territory, of the more than 20 million koku of land in Japan, more than 7 million koku were in the hands of the shogun during the Tokugawa shogunate era. But in large numbersBecause I will always be stronger than you, so I am not afraid of you getting stronger. "
"From now on, the Hojo Shogunate will represent me, Pang Ning. You are all equal vassal states under the Hojo Shogunate. I don't care how you mess with your own territory. In expeditions and affairs, there are merits and demerits, no matter how close you are, you have merit. That is to say, if there is a reward, there will be a punishment.¡±
"Those who obey me will be rewarded no matter how far away they are, and those who offend me will be punished no matter how far away they are."
"Do you understand?"
Hearing the words of the Chinese that radiated confidence from the inside out, the great names broke out in cold sweat.
Suddenly, they seemed to have returned hundreds of years ago, to the era when the Tang Dynasty was sweeping across the world and the Japanese were striving for titles. They reassessed the country to the west, which once dominated Asia in history but was now ravaged to a great extent by Tatars and bandits. That country is so useless now. Probably just because of the Ming Dynasty.
