    During the half month of the grand appraisal meeting, Kira Yoshitoki repeatedly summoned his retainers to hold a military meeting, asking them to quickly formulate a plan to march into Kanto. In fact, the relevant plans have been in progress since last year, but they were distracted by several wars.  However, the progress has been delayed. Now that winter has turned to spring and it is a good season for the spring river water to be warm, Echigo's further offensive plan has also been put on the agenda.  Just when the ministers were discussing the marching plan, a piece of news from Yuezhong broke his good mood. Yuezhong, which had only been stable for half a year, had always been in trouble again. The officials in Tobo County were resurgent and making trouble everywhere. There is evidence that this  The matter is related to the chief priest who fled to Kaga. Since this person abandoned Masuyama Castle and fled to Kaga, Shenlong has been missing, and it is very difficult to control the movements of Echu through his own influence.  Tokiyuki Yamamoto could not come up with a good solution to the current new situation in the local area, because they were different from the violent group led by Shengxing Temple and Zuisen Temple. Since the army of the two temples had been annihilated,  Since the temple Jialan was demolished and burned to a white ground, the Yixiang Yikui in Yuezhong have broken into pieces and lurked. As long as they want to hide their identities and beliefs, it is almost impossible to be discovered with the help of local believers.  The lurking backbone of the Yixiang sect can only be regarded as a hidden danger to public security, but when they combine with the local people, local servants and Socun who are dissatisfied with the rule of the Kira family, and the Yixiang sect breaks out, it will cause more trouble.  Often when a large army is dispatched to pursue and destroy the village, the main force of the village has long been transferred to other areas. Even if Yamamoto Tokiyuki sets a trap and surrounds it, there are still ways to escape. Even if some small fish and shrimps are caught, they can still dig out.  No more valuable information is available.  "Damn the Ichikai clan, and that godly protector should be damned!" Kira Yoshi suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and exhaled, and said calmly: "Tell the master to let him go and do it. Be careful of the infiltration of the Ichika clan in the direction of Kaga.  If there is any need, please send the message via water! We need to work harder on the intelligence collection in Yuezhong. "Yes! I will do it as soon as possible," Mochizuki Yoshinaga respectfully agreed. In fact, the intelligence channel in Yuezhong has been successfully established.  For example, Toyama Castle and Matsukura Castle went to the seaside to release flying pigeons from Tsu Castle to Uozu Castle to deliver the message, and then took a speedboat through the sea passage connecting Echigo to Naoetsu to deliver the message early in the morning.  It can ensure that the information will be delivered to Kasugayama Castle within two days.  "By the way, An Yunshou's son is fourteen years old this year, right? What's his name?" Mochizuki Yoshinaga whispered: "Inuko's name is Mochizuki Ojiro Yoshimitsu this year. He is rising from the lowest level of ninja in the ninja army.  Let¡¯s start.¡± ¡°Yu Zheng was thinking about one thing. The Mochizuki clan in Saku County is the clan of your clan. How about letting your son inherit the clan¡¯s territory? The original twenty-five villages of the Mochizuki clan were destroyed.  There are still eight large villages that have been demolished and none of them have been reduced. If you hand it over to your son, you can still preserve the clan of the Mochizuki clan." "This" Mochizuki Yoshinaga moved slightly, and then said calmly: "Yoshino.  Won¡¯t the imperial child inherit the Zong family?¡± Ji Liangyi had already expected that he would ask this, and said with a smile: ¡°Yoshino is too young, and I don¡¯t plan to give birth to a child for Yu yet. I can¡¯t wait for another two years.  Don't worry, the children she will give birth to will naturally inherit the family, but they will not be the lords of these eight small villages, so you can rest assured that they will inherit it!" "I have another question, if Inuko inherits the Mochizuki family.  , will the salaries of the minister and the Mochizuki Ninja be cancelled? Will the Mochizuki Ninja be moved to live in Saku County? It's not that I am greedy for wealth, but I, the Mochizuki Ninja, have more than two hundred people, and nearly a thousand descendants.  The number of people is not small, and I am very worried that the ninjas under my command will complain if it is not handled properly." Mochizuki Yoshinaga expressed his worries.  He has not yet said whether the larger number of Koga ninjas will be affected.  It even further affected the internal structural changes of the Kira ninjas. Since the Mochizuki family, which represents the Koga ninjas, was promoted to Monomishou by Kira Yoshitoki, the status of the Koga ninjas has steadily risen and gradually suppressed the prosperous Iga ninjas, while the foolish Mochizuki  Yoshino is the status guarantee of the Koga ninja. I don¡¯t know how many Koga ninjas secretly pray for Yoshino to have more boys behind his back.  The elevation of the status of the Koga ninjas made the Iga ninjas feel very nervous, especially in the third battle of Kawanakajima. After the Koga ninjas successfully invited the Togakure ninjas to make great contributions and were highly praised by Kira Yoshitoki, in just a short period of time,  For more than many years, the pressure of the Koga ninja and the Togakushi ninja to form an alliance and strengthen their cooperation was like a huge mountain on the shoulders of the Iga ninja.  As the supreme leader of the Iga ninjas.  Hattori Masakiyoshi, the deputy minister of Monogami, has always been very secretive about this. Hattori Masakiyoshi knows very well that Kira Yoshito hates the fierce internal fighting among retainers, and even hates retainers who make troubles on their own initiative. He has always been cautious and did not dare to go too far. His brother Hattori  The chief security officer also had some problems with his sons.The question is wrong.  Being demoted to Sakamoto for retirement is equivalent to effectively withdrawing from the rank of senior ministers of the Ashikaga family.  Of course he didn't dare to make any bigger moves, but the moves of the Koga Ninja were too big. If he didn't make any moves, he would inevitably be looked down upon. So Hattori Masakiyoshi took the initiative to become an ally with the leader of the Genzaru Ninja, Kato Danzo, probably.  It is equivalent to the nature of holding together to stay warm and tide over difficulties together, in order to stabilize one's position and maintain the confrontation between Koga and Iga, instead of one party being annexed by the other.  Genzaru's previous status was aloof. You don't have to look at the face of the Kira ninjas, and they could repeatedly ignore the restrictions of the Kira family's decrees. However, since their initiative, Uesugi Masatora took the initiative to end the dual-headed political structure and respected Kira's righteousness, he became the master of the Three Kingdoms of Yuexin.  Since then, Genzaru has naturally been classified as the Kira Ninja. Now he serves as the third person in the Kira Ninja, which happens to be a little higher than the new leader of the Togakure Ninja, Toda Gohei, who can only be ranked third.  four.  The combination of his four ninja clans has indeed made Kira ninjas unprecedentedly powerful. There are more than 2,000 light ninjas. Over the years, more than 5,000 people have been recruited to provide intelligence. They are mainly concentrated in the three countries of Echigo, Shinano and Ueno.  , followed by Vietnam, the Kinai countries, the Kanto region and the newly opened Dewa country. The intelligence of the Western country, Shikoku, and Kyushu regions has not yet been developed. Even so, it is enough to make this powerful ninja army proud of the world.  Strong but not united, the effect of the four ninja families forcibly kneading together is naturally not very ideal, and small frictions and even serious conflicts often occur.  Fortunately, the leaders of the four ninja families also knew their priorities and kept this conflict within a certain range without breaking out.  Moreover, the nature of ninja work means that their conflicts with each other always happen silently. They start silently and disappear without leaving any traces. Even Kira Yoshitoki did not notice how serious the friction between them was.  I just know that the four ninja armies seem to be divided into two groups who dislike each other.  They had no idea how much change one of their policies might bring to them.  Just when Mochizuki Yoshinaga was frowning in thought, the paper door of the assessment room was gently opened, and Nangang Toutofang walked in gracefully with a peaceful smile, swinging his feather fan, and said: "An Yunshou can rest assured.  Your Majesty¡¯s arrangements are always foolproof. I happen to know your Majesty¡¯s plan, so I must be planning to use An Yunshou as the first example!¡±  In Hyakumachibu, because the land had just been acquired and there was no way to improve it, the autumn harvest last year was 42,800 koku. The rice seeds have been sown this spring and the harvest will surely be harvested in the autumn. The total population of these eight villages is 20,000.  There are more than 8,000 people, with an average of more than 3,500 people per village. All nearby walls have been demolished, and the land has been re-levelled and various irrigation canals have been built according to the plan. It happens to be the richest land in Saku County. This area  The territory is given to An Yunshou, but not to you. "Does An Yunshou know what Yu means?" Mochizuki Yoshinaga is in charge of intelligence collection and compilation. Naturally, he knows this information. After all, it is the clan territory of the Mochizuki family and he will pay more attention to it.  It became clear that materials from demolished cities and villages were used in the construction of new and larger villages. Farmers were organized to shoulder the burden of collecting labor to complete the construction of their new homes. The incentive was to build better and stronger new homes. Farmers  They are all very motivated and can make farmers work hard for the Kira family without knowing it. This is what Mochizuki Yoshicho admires most about Kira Yoshitoki.  "Does the Lord mean" "Actually, it's very simple. Your son Mochizuki Yoshimitsu took over the position of family governor from you, and then passed to your clan, the Shinano Mochizuki clan, to serve as a leader of the Mochizuki clan.  The power of the Mochizuki ninja is taken away from you and transferred to your son. The more than a thousand members of your Mochizuki clan and the members of the Mochizuki clan in Saku County are all handed over to Mochizuki Yoshimitsu.  You don't have to be a lord in the territory. The management of the territory is left to the rest of the followers. Every year, based on the statistics of Shi Gao in the Mochizuki Territory, and after deducting taxes, you Mochizuki Ninja will still be given the corresponding annual tribute.  Kasugayama Castle is at peace with Yu Fengong, and you still do Yu's obedience." After Nangang Toutou explained from the side, Mochizuki Yoshicho roughly understood the meaning of the family governor's decision, which was to let his legitimate son Mochizuki Yoshimitsu.  Inherit the Mochizuki clan as a leader, and then hand over the eight villages of the Mochizuki clan in Saku County, Shinano Province, to Mochizuki Yoshimitsu. However, these territories do not need Mochizuki Yoshimitsu to take care of, nor do they need to go to the countryside to establish annexes to take care of the territory.  Various measures, including supporting agricultural reform, establishing canals for drinking water irrigation, and building river embankments to protect fields and ridges, were all handled by agents appointed by the masses.  And this territory is called the flag family, which means the hereditary territory of the Ashikaga family's flag family. As long as the master family still preserves this territory, it will always belong to their family. From father to son, it will be passed down from generation to generation. No matter whether the Mochizuki clan makes mistakes  Or even extermination of heirs will not deprive him of it.For a clan's territory, the master's family will find a collateral relative for him to inherit, so that the family will not be cut off.  In fact, the general meaning is just like the earlier European Middle Ages in the same period. The rise of the knight class was based on the enfeoffment of manors similar to banners. They did not need to take care of the farmland in the village and did not care whether the farmers had enough to eat or sleep well.  I feel that all agricultural issues are handed over to the officials appointed by the monarch. This is equivalent to liberating the retainers from the role of local people, relying on the influence of the fields and geographical factors, and concentrating on honing their skills for the master.  Feng Gong.  Seeing Mochizuki Yoshinaga's thoughtful expression, Namioka Tobo said with a smile: "Actually, the Lord has long had the idea to change the existing system. The earliest warriors who followed the Lord did not have the corresponding territory. Although I, the Lord, have  The Ashikaga family has high salary support, but this method is unable to continue to be promoted. The majority of the people in Echigo, Shinano, Ueno and even Echichu are pure local samurai. They have their own inherent territory, and they have just been  The new retainers who have surrendered will definitely not hand over their territory in exchange for a relatively generous salary. I think An Yunshou can understand this, right?" Mochizuki Yoshicho nodded in agreement, as if he was remembering something, with a look in his eyes.  With a hint of reminiscence, he sighed after a long time: "Yes! I have lived in Koga for more than thirty years, and I know that the local people and local servants are very obsessed with the land. No matter how high the salary of the high-ranking official is, it is not as good as the land.  In front of him, after all, whether there is drought or flood in the fields, it all depends on his own struggle. Even if the food production is reduced in a disaster year, it is still more useful than losing the land in exchange for some floating wealth that will not last long. " "Before this, the Lord lived in Omi country.  The two prefectures are so small that they are simply unable to enclose land to protect the interests of the clan members. In the past few years since arriving in Echigo, all I have been thinking about is to open up the situation as soon as possible and expand the territory to ensure that the Ashikaga family of Kamizuki does not lose its prestige.  Minus, five or six years have passed and now we have a territory. Those who followed the Lord without any regrets have also begun to think about the territory and knowledge. In the past two years, some different voices have reached the followers through various channels.  In his hands, the Lord paid great attention to this matter when he learned about it. After careful consideration and repeated deliberation, he finally decided to change the existing Fenggong structure, so this plan came into being. An Yun Shoudian was very lucky to become this plan.  The first person to implement it shows how much the Lord attaches importance to An Yunshou! " Lang Gang's answer was simple and clear, making it easy for him to accept this plan. He knew very well that there was a thread in the family family.  The unbridgeable gap is between those who receive salaries and those who eat food from their own land. Although everyone seems to be laughing and chatting in harmony, and they get together to drink and brag during the first month of the year like good brothers, but because there are  This essential difference makes them naturally divided into two camps, and there are always some little knots between them that are difficult to resolve.  However, the emergence of this plan can avoid related incidents to the greatest extent. Once the system of banners is successfully promoted, all existing retainers in the Ashikaga family will receive corresponding banner salaries, and they will basically be able to obtain food from their own land.  The treatment is not much different from that of local warriors.  The only difference is probably that these banner generations do not need to worry about the shortcomings of the family members in the farm, nor do they need to worry about whether the seedlings in the fields are not growing tall enough or the ears of rice are not full enough, nor do they need to worry about the river embankments being washed away by floods every rainy season.  , every dry season, I worry that there is not enough water in the ditch to irrigate my own land, so I don¡¯t have to worry about cats that get up early and stay late at night to dig for food in the fields.  Living in Kasugayama Castle is not only hassle-free but also very comfortable. Living in a farm is incomparable to the convenience and speed of Kasugayama Castle. Walking out of Kasugayama is Naoetsu, the most developed town in Echigo and even the latter half of Hokuriku.  You can taste all kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables shipped from Kinai at any time, beautiful clothes carefully made by Wufu House under the jurisdiction of Bipa House, as well as Nanban dioramas, colorful gems and precious silks and porcelain from the Ming Dynasty.  The acquisition and use of resources are beyond the capabilities of the Chinese lords living in the countryside.  (To be continued.
