A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 328 18. From the dragon to the clouds

Yamauchi Yoshiharu went to Hamamatsu in a simple car. On the face of it, he completely handed over the family business to Yamauchi Yoshikatsu. He was accompanied by only a few concubines, dozens of servants, and some guard warriors.

It seems to us that it is a one-off payment, simple and simple. But in fact, it took more than half a month of back and forth.

During the Warring States Period, it was very common for a family governor in his forties to hand over the title of head of the family to the heir he had trained. Everyone is scared, fearing that if one of them suddenly burps, there will be internal strife in the family.

In the past two years, Yamauchi Yoshikatsu not only independently commanded the army, but also provided him with a wife and family whom he could rely on. The guardianship and official positions were also gradually replaced. In fact, he had been paving the way for him to succeed the family governor.

For example, although Oda Nobunaga had no physical problems, he still nominally took a back seat and gave up the title of head of the family to Nobutada. Mihaoshi Changqing actually temporarily handed over the family business to Mihaoshi Yixing, and Yixing actually gave orders to the Mihaoshi family two years before Changqing's death.

Not to mention that Hojo Ujiyasu gave way to Hojo Ushimasa early, although he still indirectly controlled some power as "Gomotojo-kun".

Wise family governors all know the importance of allowing heirs to cultivate their power and establish prestige in advance. In this way, after death, there will be a powerful heir who can intimidate the officials and control the people of the country.

Of course, this transfer is actually divided into real transfer and false transfer. Most of the big names are usually given in a false way, that is, I will give you the title first, but the power is still in my hands.

As for this power, it will take several years to wait for the young master's team to be completed. It would be best if the old minister retreats as hard as he can, and the handover will be perfect in the end.

Yamauchi Yoshiharu's arrangement this time was considered safe. He handed over Shinano, where the Yamauchi family had the most stable rule and had been run by five generations, to Yamauchi Yoshikatsu, while he himself went to the newly captured Kaido area.

Yamauchi Yoshikatsu has the natural advantage of ruling Shinano, and he can quickly put all aspects of Shinano in order. This is the basic plan of the Yamauchi family, and there is no room for error.

As for his father, Yamauchi Yoshiharu, he went to clean up the large and small Japanese people on Kaidou, as well as run Hamamatsu Castle and Hamamatsu Port Town, and use his remaining energy for his son. After all, Prime Minister Yamauchi's illustrious reputation of having dominated the Eastern Kingdom for thirty years was more effective than anyone who guarded Hamamatsu.

The arrangements are still very appropriate. Hokahata University and Isshiki Miyauchi are both in their fifties and sixties. It just so happens that Yamauchi Yoshikatsu will work hard for two more years to clean up Shinano completely, and then they can resign and stand on their last duty perfectly.

Yamauchi Yoshikatsu obviously knew about this in advance, and there was no panic about the sudden order. He basically didn't keep the organizational structure left by his father. After all, it would be inappropriate to overthrow his father's political layout immediately.

He only did two things. The first was that the original Ejiri Castle Dai Konishiharazaemon was replaced by Yamauchi Yoshiharu himself, so he resigned and returned to Yamauchi. Yamauchi Yoshikatsu then used him to replace Hosokawa Maimei, who guarded Suwa and Ina counties, and replaced his little friend who had grown up as a sweetheart.

However, due to Hosokawa's qualifications, she was not qualified to immediately replace the family elder, so Yamauchi Yoshikatsu asked Hosokawa to be appointed as a warrior. In fact, he was in charge of the military mobilization and mobilization of the Yamauchi clan, and became the pillar of Yamauchi Yoshikatsu's new regime.

The second one is Xiaopingtai, the two people who have the most close friendship and are very compatible with each other. He is also ready to help Xiaopingtai.

Although the Hatamoto clan is important, it can be managed by Yamauchi Yoshikatsu himself. It is normal for them not to be handed over to others for the time being. After all, the Hatamoto clan is one of the most important standing forces of the Yamauchi family, so it is appropriate for Yamauchi Yoshikatsu to personally command them.

So where was Xiao Pingtai placed? Of course, Yamauchi Yoshikatsu did not treat Xiaoheitai badly, and directly helped Xiaoheitai be transferred to the assignment of appointment.

What is determination and implementation?

Handle household finances, including accounting, settlement, scheduling, and transfers, all in one package. Most of the finances of the Yamauchi family need to be channeled through the hands of the appointed chief. Holding this position is equivalent to controlling most of the financial power of the Yamauchi family.

Except for the transfer of these two positions, which has attracted some attention, the rest of Yamauchi Yoshikatsu has remained almost completely unchanged. But everyone also knows that the era of Yamauchi Yoshikatsu has arrived.

Once you have grasped military power and financial power, you can jump up and down with other things without making any big splash.

Moreover, these two practices are not the only ones in the Yamauchi family. None of the temples, shrines, towns, towns, etc. have been moved. Yamauchi Yoshikatsu also has some political wisdom. He even regards listening to the opinions of his father and senior ministers as a daily task. He makes decisions after discussing everything with the big bosses of the Gobo Dai family. There is no trace of his father's past. The system does the conflict of opposites.

Everyone saw that Yamauchi Yoshikatsu inherited the family smoothly and calmly took control of the military and financial power of the family. I was also watching Yamauchi Yoshiharu's attitude in my heart, and Yamauchi Yoshiharu completely acquiesced to Yamauchi Yoshikatsu's transfer.

At this point, Yamauchi Yoshikatsu's butt was completely settled, and he was not prepared to make any big changes to his father's strategy.

Unify Shinano, unite with Uesugi, attack Takeda, and wait until the troops are well-prepared, then it will be time for him to show off his talents.

"Nanosuke, who made this zucchini jam for you?" Koheita saw Nanosuke sitting in a shady area on the porch, eating alone with a gourd and a ladle.

Xiaopingta then went to take a bite too. The zucchini was a variant of pumpkin, nothing unusual. This sauce seems to have been boiled with sugar. It is similar to applesauce. It is not sour at all and is sweet. If there is a piece of bread, it can stick to the food.

"It's Miss Noono from the kitchen." Nanosuke is now nine years old. When he grows tall, he gets hungry quickly. Kodaira is worried that he will really become a 1.3 meter unparalleled general in the future, so he instructs the kitchen to give him food frequently. Get something to eat besides meals.

"After you've finished eating, remember to go to Master Meigoro to practice swinging your sword." "Yes, I understand." Nanosuke ate the zucchini paste at a faster pace.

"Xono, bring a gourd of cold boiled water for Nabenosuke." Koheita walked towards the cooking kitchen.

"Hey, why are you still cooking pumpkin?" Xiaopingtai walked into the cooking kitchen and smelled the sweet smell of cooking pumpkin.

"Ah, Tanzheng, I'm going to make pumpkin udon for dinner tonight, do you want to try it first?" Xiao Nai was staring at the pot, with a thin layer of sweat on her forehead on a hot day.

"Pumpkin udon?" "Yes, this year's pumpkins and zucchini are growing very well and are very sweet."

In fact, it is because this year the rainfall is appropriate and the sunshine is sufficient, so the photosynthesis of these melons is very sufficient and they naturally grow well.

"Make a bowl and try it." Xiao Pingtai sat on the pony and drank a large gourd of cold water.

Xiaonai mashed the cooked and cooled pumpkin into a puree, then added freshly made flour, kneaded it into dough, then pressed the dough with stones, and kneaded it several times before rolling it out into dough. Stack it up, cut it, cut it, and cook a bowl.

Xiao Pingtai sprinkled some seaweed and was happily eating it.

"That's right, that's right! Your Highness has sent an order, appointing you to do the survey and implement it!" Aji ran in from outside with bare feet.

"Will the decision be followed?"

Koheita, wearing shorts and undershirt, squatted under the eaves and sucked noodles. He suddenly took over the financial power of the Shinshu Yamauchi clan without any preparation.

"Aji, would you like a bowl?"
