A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

The samurai who were sitting around in the Ohiro Room had already stood up and were about to leave, but unexpectedly Yamauchi Yoshiharu suddenly said "Wait a minute."

Everyone doesn’t know why, but when the boss speaks, what employee can’t refuse to listen? Aren't they all just standing still and waiting for Yamauchi Yoshiji's orders?

But Yamauchi Yoshiharu didn't say anything, but called all the retainers to follow him and stood on the castle tower of Ejiri. There were 14,000 troops inside and below the city that had not yet been disbanded. When everyone saw Yamauchi Yoshiji standing on a high place, they all stood up and looked up at him.

Yamauchi Yoshiharu cleared his throat and announced loudly that, regardless of the other party, each person would be given another three hundred bonuses. It seemed that arrangements had been made at the gate, with many loud-voiced attendants loudly repeating Yamauchi Yoshiharu's decision. The message lasted for more than two minutes, and the soldiers above and below the city could hear it clearly.

Everyone burst into loud cheers. After all, it was like giving out money for no reason, like pie in the sky. In the past, meritorious deeds would be rewarded after the war, but this time even the warriors and handymen were included, and all were given three hundred coins. He was so happy that all the soldiers fell to their knees and loudly praised his generosity.

So the tens of thousands of soldiers under the city did not disperse as a matter of course, but all gathered under Ejiri Castle to wait for thousands of Yongle coins to be transferred from the mountains.

Yamauchi's retainers were surprised that Yamauchi Yoshiharu, who kept money, was suddenly so generous. On the one hand, they praised Yamauchi Yoshiharu for being supported by thousands of troops, but on the other hand, they secretly wondered in their hearts what this person was going to do.

When everyone sat down again, Yamauchi Yoshiharu looked at the Ejiri warriors who were doing it with a smile.

"Do you still remember a document that was issued many years ago?" Yamauchi Yoshiharu smiled brightly and his face was full of spring breeze.

"This? I wonder what His Highness is talking about?" An Ejiri warrior bravely asked cautiously.

An old story must be mentioned here. Many years ago, Xiaopingtai was just a small flag-carrying infantryman, when Xiaopingtai had just traveled through time. Yamauchi Yoshiharu mobilized more than 6,000 people from Yamauchi's entire command, bribed the Fushu navy, advanced by land and water, and finally defeated the Shirakawa clan who occupied Ejiri at the time.

Yamauchi Yoshiharu has launched four attacks on Ejiri since he came to the throne. Each time he retreated with hatred due to various reasons. Therefore, ten years of his life were actually spent on the road to attack Ejiri. He put a lot of thought into pacifying Jiangjiri. Not only did he recruit troops to prepare for war, he also actively incited wealthy families to rebel and bribed ambitious elements. Finally, six years ago, I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars and got what I wanted.

The two sides have been fighting for so many years, and there must be many local samurai in Ejiri who are resentful and dissatisfied. Back then, in order to quickly stabilize the place, Yamauchi Yoshiharu once issued a large-scale security plan, even including blood-stained oaths. Some people with good eyesight who had taken refuge in Yamauchi Yoshiharu very early even got the privilege of being excluded from inspections and county magistrates.

Of course, these are all minutiae. The most important order given by Yamauchi Yoshitsune to stabilize Ejiri is to announce to all Ejiri's famous owners that the land owned by Ejiri's public and private property has been neglected for five years.

This order was unanimously recognized and praised by everyone at the time, from the daimyo master of Qiangan to the small land of twenty. During that chaotic period, land inspection books were destroyed and military service documents were deleted. They even directly disappeared the land and tenant farmers, reaping countless benefits.

There are three most important places in the country of Enji, the plains along Lake Hamana, the river beaches along the Tenryu River, and the tea forests of Kakegawa Castle. The first two are first-class mature fields with sufficient water and fertilizer. Almost all the rice in the country far away from the Yangtze River is produced in these two places.

Later, when Keicho inspected the territory, it was found that the territory of Yuanjiang was fully 260,000 koku, which is 65,000 kanmon. Now that Yamauchi Yoshiji has taken all Yuanjiang, how much territory is there on the books? A mere thirty-five thousand essays.

Even though due to the war, all the cultivated land was not developed, the population was not sufficient, and water conservancy facilities could not be repaired on a large scale year after year. Although business was booming, it was only beginning to take shape. But how could the gap between the two be so huge as 30,000 yuan? This number is already as large as the territory of some countries.

Simply speaking, last month Koheita used the method of mobilizing Ejiri's forces and through inference, he roughly estimated that Ejiri's hidden real estate was more than 10,000 kuen. Of course Yamauchi Yoshiharu also knew about this, which was one of the main reasons why Koheta took the initiative to mobilize the army without permission and Yamauchi Yoshiharu did not blame him at all.

Xiao Pingtai helped him complete half of the work of inspecting the land (one was to increase income and the other was to expand military service). Now the military service account books of 9,200 people are all clear, and the details include someone in a certain village.

Horseback riding, bows, long strings, flags, formation men, young men, and miscellaneous servants are all complete from top to bottom. No one can escape next year. Jiangjiri's military service of about 6,000 people is determined.

Although they had already expected it, when Yamauchi Yoshiharu said that he wanted to inspect the area, the warriors of the Ejiri clan completely ignored the etiquette and exploded with a "coax".

Some people immediately came out and knelt down in front of Yamauchi Yoshiharu, begging for another year or two. Some people looked solemn and couldn't help arguing with familiar samurai.

Matsushita, the flag-bearing samurai of the Ejiri clan, was really confused. He already understood why Yamauchi Yoshiharu wanted to send money to the Ejiri clan. Now all the armed men of the 9,200 Ejiri clan are under the Ejiri castle. At the same time, the five thousand people in the mountain occupied the city and divided into camps for security. To put it bluntly, these 9,200 people are the lifeblood that Lords like Ejiri depend on for their survival, even more important than the one under their crotch.

Without these 9,200 people, how could they resist Yamauchi Yoshiharu's request to inspect the area? Not even qualified to negotiate! Even if they returned to the territory overnight, they would not be able to mobilize soldiers to launch a rebellion. Yamauchi Yoshitsune, an old Yinbi, used a desperate strategy.

Now the ground must be inspected, no one can escape. Matsushita really looked at the unpredictable expressions on his colleagues' faces, and smiled bitterly in his heart. This day has finally come. But is it a joke that he can do this? His mind is spinning so fast and he won't sit still and wait for death.

"Your Highness, I have entrusted Your Highness with your illustrious martial arts. Without war, you have opened 500 and 15 new fields and forests in five years. I am willing to check them in." Panasonic Zhenshi was shocking.

Koheita, Yamauchi Yoshiharu and Machi Hokage University looked at each other, and the three of them said the same thing in their minds: "This Matsushita Masuke is really a talent!"

People were either complaining about their poverty or getting angry, but he immediately figured out all the reasons, and then reported a decent number with zeros and rounded parts, revealing the truth. Moreover, the figures reported by this person still leave some room, and there must be something hidden.

But he was the first to come out and bow his head. No matter how much he remained hidden, Yamauchi Yoshiharu had to temporarily press down and establish this typical example.

So Hokahata University immediately took out a new book and wrote with a brush: 2015 Kanmon received by Matsushita Gagaku of Totoji Temple, Toyoda County, Enshu.

Andu!
