Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the following days, Yoshitoki Kira stayed at Daitokuji Temple to communicate with Nagao Kagetora. Of course, one of his main purposes was to see Toraya Girl. Unfortunately, Toraya Girl was very indifferent to him. In his eyes, the Kira family in Kyoto  The noble young master is an idiot with strange eyes, always staring at him intentionally or unintentionally.  Nagao Kagetora seemed to have noticed his abnormal behavior. When he had nothing to do, he would pull his sister aside to be an audience. He didn't know whether he wanted to improve the relationship between the two, or to cultivate his sister. When he did Kiragi, he was a feast for the eyes and also made Hu Ya  My sister was even more unhappy.  "Forty-two times! You looked back at me forty-two times!" The long-tailed tiger finally broke out and stood up and said: "Brother! Tiger has had enough! He is going out!" "Okay!  I happen to want to go out too, why don't you, Your Highness, come with me?" Kira Yoshichi said shyly.  "No!" Nagato Tora turned around and ran out, leaving Kiragi standing there in shock.  "Torahime! Come back" Nagao Kagetora quickly stood up and wanted to chase after him. Unfortunately, his left foot was injured during the early battle with Sanjo Nagao's family. Not to mention that he was insulated from running all the way. Sometimes it rained, snowed and cold air entered his body.  , my left foot would be so painful that I could not walk normally, so I could only walk with a bamboo stick.  Kira Yoshi sat back in embarrassment and continued: "Uh, it's okay, I still have questions to ask about the main hall!" During this month, Nagao Kagetora walked through Yamato Province to see Kofukuji Temple, and visited the Dalin Sect in Izumi Province.  Master Tao had also seen the prosperity of Sakamoto and Otsu on the ship. Along the way, he also knew the vast differences between the Kinai states, among which the territory under the Kira family was the richest.  This shows how powerful the Kira family's governance is.  Sakamoto Castle Town was also governed by Kira Yoshitomo for several years.  It has transformed from a waterway hub in the Lake Biwa area to Kyoto and Kyoto.  One of the three major commercial centers alongside Sakai Town in Osaka Bay, this can already be described as an economic miracle. Yoshitoki Kira has too much aura around him, which not only makes outsiders curious, but also makes it difficult for people to see the inside story.  So Yoshitoki Kira gave a comprehensive explanation of his political and economic reforms. In the process of explaining to Nagao Kagetora, he was also sorting out and reflecting on his own political ideas.  There will still be deviations in the transmission of the government decrees newly attached to Takashima County. The reason for this is that the national lords and autonomous bodies are at work.  This is because he relied on his personal trust to completely abolish the power of the guardian. The followers of the Kira family will go to the villages to investigate at any time. If the problems are found, they will be dealt with on the spot and supervised by the elders in the villages. The referee will be fair to the servants of the wealthy family.  All convinced.  But even so, the local control is still stretched thin, because the territory is still owned by the national lords, and the annual tribute does not go through the hands of the Kira family. The land inspection can only establish military service, but the Kira family does not do military service at all.  The expedition relied entirely on the recruitment system, so the resistance of the country's lords to the inspection area was not strong.  However, the land lords were very conservative. They had issues such as insufficient implementation of the Kira family's decrees, lack of firm attitude, and incomplete obedience. This was also the fundamental reason why Takashima County was always inferior to Shiga County.  Even so, everyone in Takashima County highly respects and trusts the Kira family. This is also the main issue that Nagao Kagetora wants to discuss. How to make the lords of the country cooperate with the government's decree and how to break the power of the guardians. This issue  It was very complicated, and Kira Yoshitoki couldn't tell him for a while, because no one knew what the form of Echigo Country was.  In the past few days, Kira Yoshitoshi had been living and eating in Dade Temple. He was too embarrassed to eat for nothing, so he sealed off a hundred guan of Yongle money as sesame oil money and presented it to Dade Temple.  After that, Kira Yoshi became more careful when he saw her, at least he wouldn't stare at her blatantly.  While showing her little fangs to scare Kiragi, the long-tailed tiger girl thought in annoyance: "Damn it, he sneaked over again! Really!" "Uh where did you say just now? Oh yes! It should be Kiragi.  The family is under military control!" Kira Yoshitoki was so cute when she displayed such a cute animal that she almost forgot what she said.  "Tell me about the Kira family's recruitment system and high pension system. The merits of all soldiers who died in battle are calculated as usual, and a pension of ten guan is given at a time. Those who are disabled and lose combat effectiveness but do not affect their labor are given a pension of five guan at a time, and  Enter the Kira family's reserve army as a teacher and continue to receive three-person support rice. Of course, those who do not want to be involved in the military can also enter the Kira family's direct area and participate in labor according to their personal choices" People who have lost their labor force, such as those who are missing arms and legs.  Once assigned to Jukanmon, he is responsible for serving as a unified police force in the countryside, responsible for handling civil and criminal disputes in the countryside, with the power of arrest and interrogation, and is under the public security enforcement department. The castle towns of Sakamoto and Katada have been initially connected.  The best place to enforce public security is?In the weak point of the new connection between the two places, a large number of disabled soldiers were properly resettled by the security forces. These people were veterans who survived the battlefield and were very loyal to the Kira family. Although it was somewhat inconvenient to move, they  It's more than enough to deal with those young people.  "This strategy is very good! We, the Nagao family, plan to learn from it!" Nagao Kagetora immediately clapped his hands in admiration, then frowned and said: "But our Nagao family really lacks political and strategic talents. Several members of the Kasugayama Castle follow the instructions.  He is also a powerful national lord of each county. If the clan leaders feel that our decree is inappropriate, they will not hesitate to refuse to implement it. There is absolutely nothing we can do about it. " Seeing the look that Nagao Kagetora cast,  Kira Yoshitoki shrugged and said that there was nothing he could do. Echigo was far away in Hokuriku. What could he, a samurai from Kyoto, do?  It is impossible to solve Echigo's incurable diseases with just a few clicks. He is not the wise Zhuge Liang.  Seeing that one strategy failed, he continued to discuss the issue of military system. Kira Yoshitoshi's military recruitment system was not his first. During the Heian period, the imperial court also learned from the Tang and Song dynasties and established a military recruitment system. However, due to the corruption of the military system, soldiers fled and the system collapsed.  Bad, it's just that the recruitment system during Kira Yoshi's time was different from the one hundreds of years ago. Such an exaggerated method of raising soldiers is really surprising, and of course the terrifying combat effectiveness is also surprising.  Yoshitoki Kira then discussed with him the merits of the strategy of elite troops and simple policy.  Recruiting large numbers of peasants and soldiers will not do any good.  On the contrary, it will also affect the normal development of the territory.  In order to ensure that local development is not affected by the dual population and economic impacts caused by frequent wars, the strategy of elite troops must be put forward.  His strategy of recruiting elite soldiers is not suitable for use by other lords, because his two standing troops are based on the large number of direct leaders from Mikawa Kingdom and Shiga County. Without strong financial resources to support this strategy of elite soldiers, it is impossible to talk about it, but for Vietnam  Later it was said that it was not impossible to do it, at least it could be done by lowering the requirements.  For example, each soldier supports rice, and daily training meals and wartime rice supplies are paid by the king. In this way, some landless refugees, criminals, and mountain people will join.  Then assist the monks in their spiritual and Buddhist education. They only need to shout a few simple slogans such as the blessings of gods and Buddhas, and then preach some Buddhist teachings that meet the requirements of the lord. Coupled with strict management and rigorous training, you can become a monk in less than a year.  An army ready to fight.  Of course, these are all things he talks about on paper. Military training is too troublesome and he never manages it personally. Anyway, he has a group of capable ministers under him, such as Yamamoto Kansuke and a bunch of his assistants, all of whom are good at grassroots instructors. Except  The monks at Miaoyun Temple like to practice Zen, but they are a little bit weak, but otherwise they are fine.  I don¡¯t know how.  When the two talked about the issue of enfeoffment, Kira Yoshishi clearly stated that enfeoffment was inevitable.  However, the king must ensure that he has more than a quarter of the direct share, otherwise it will not be a deterrent to the people under his jurisdiction.  For example, Nagao Kagetora is like this now. The total stone of Echigo is 390,000 koku. The Nagao family in the mansion has only 50,000 koku under its direct jurisdiction. Among them, there are 15,000 koku that Uesugi Sadami has recognized as the head of Echigo Kingdom.  Before that, the Nagao family only had a territory of 35,000 koku, less than one-tenth of it. At most, they were just a large national lord.  The current situation is not very optimistic. Even if it is a national lord who has increased one size, one-eighth of his direct leaders is not enough for him to take the initiative. Especially in the Shimogotsu region, the terrain is complex and the composition of the lords is complicated. Moreover, it is different from Deyu and Mutsu.  They have a close relationship, and the most terrible thing is that the samurai group called "Yangbei Zhong" fights bravely, they are all strong generals, and they have always refused to obey Echigo's protection, which is simply a trap.  Nagao Kagetora frowned and said: "Military service is still necessary, and the strength of the country's lords also needs to be relied on. Although 'no offense' is not reliable, it is imperative to abolish the power of guardians not to enter, but it is really undesirable to change the enfeoffment system rashly.  , I think it is better to let them develop on their own, as long as the country owner has the right to control the country. " Kirara Yoshiki expressed disdain for this statement, and directly retorted: "The existence of the level of the wealthy earth servant.  What does it look like? Danzhengdian must also know what kind of virtue it is! How much combat effectiveness can these farmers and soldiers who usually bend down to plow the fields and charge with guns during the war guarantee? They may still be thinking about the mother-in-law at home.  Is it a boy or a girl? When it¡¯s time to water the grain in the fields, has the mother-in-law thought of watering it? If she dies on the battlefield and the mother-in-law remarries another man, she will become someone else who sleeps with her mother-in-law and beats her own child. Isn¡¯t this right?  Not cheating?" Nagao Torahime burst out laughing, and Nagao Kagetora was dumbfounded by his strange metaphor. Although the brother and sister didn't understand what "cheating" meant, they generally understood what he meant.  , the combat effectiveness and quality of the peasants and soldiers are completely unreliable, but the Chinese people should not be like this.  Nagao Kagetora asked: "But the lord of the countryAfter all, they are also warriors. Isn¡¯t it right to serve the family?  " "Is the lord of the country your retainer?  If so, why are there still guardian sects and guardian sects?  Yang Beizhong, who is so neutral?  If the righteousness is reliable, the officials and governors of Guandong will not decline, and the imperial court and shogunate will not decline. Why should people listen to you if you have no real power?  "Ji Liangyi sneered at this pedantic thought. "Even so, I, Kagetora, believe that the 'Tao' in the heart of the Wu family must still be adhered to!  The way of the samurai family is to do justice to the world. Isn¡¯t it for this reason that both the samurai family and I, Kagetora, continue to work hard for the revival of the shogunate?  "Nagao Kagetora was also impatient, and even changed his self-identification back to his original title. "Now we only discuss the essential issues of the Chinese people, and let's not talk about righteousness.  Kira Yoshishi shook his head and said: "Once the retainers have land, they will begin to transform into the level of the country's lords. There may be several generations of loyal ministers, but once the country's lord makes an action that is harmful to their interests or at least has this intention, these  What is the reason why loyal ministers will immediately turn into vanguards against you?  Or because they have land, they have entangled interests with the land. Every day they calculate how much grain they can harvest from the fields. When encountering a famine year, the first thing they think of is to ignore the various taxes levied by the king.  There may be some people like this who will be loyal to the Nagao family for the pursuit of martial names, but in the final analysis, they still want to gain more knowledge and ennoblement, from a small lord to a big lord. Without knowledge and practice, will he support the deconstruction of the main hall?  Isn¡¯t the Nagao family¡¯s dominance still going to be shaken?  Why did I write a letter saying that you must give sufficient benefits to the Nagao clan lords in the war against Shinano?  If there is no benefit for anyone to fight with the Nagao family, can Daiyi take care of the food?  The crops in their own fields are almost gone, and if they go on an expedition with the Nagao family, there is definitely something wrong with their brains.  " Nagao Kagetora was also attracted by his description. He pondered for a moment, shook his head and laughed: "This is the first time I have heard of this statement.  " "When the leader of the Uesugi family mobilized 80,000 troops to fight Kawagoe, didn't he still promise to enfeoff the Hojo family as soon as they captured it? Otherwise, how could the 80,000 people come?  Although the Astronomical Rebellion in the East Kingdom was fierce this time, with hundreds of thousands of troops fighting at full speed, they were of different origins and had differences in the allocation of territory, so they were easily defeated by Hojo Ujiyasu one by one. Do you think  How much contribution have the lords of our country made to you?  When Kiragi entered the state, his words became sharp, and Nagao Kagetora was silent in thought. The faint sound of chanting from outside the house floated into the room. After a long while, Nagao Kagetora said: " Do you want to  When you say that the recruitment system is imperative, do you mean that?  "    "Um!  The situation is different for direct ministers. For example, all the retainers of my Kira family are directly subordinate to me. They only need to receive their salary from the main family. Moreover, this is also the place where Shiqing Shilu has lived for generations. In name, they have a share of land in the direct control of the main family. In fact,  The ownership of the land is still owned by the family. As long as they do not make an unforgivable mistake or have no heirs, they can inherit the land from generation to generation and pass it on to their descendants.  This is also called family salary, which means that no matter whether your performance is competent or not, this salary is still yours. In addition, there is a job salary. You will receive another job salary according to your official rank. Be careful when increasing your family salary.  The salary is much more generous. Our Kira family currently receives the direct salary. When the political situation is stable in the future and the family salary of the retainers is determined, the amount of the job salary will be determined.  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
