Because farmers stubbornly believe that His Highness Mr. Sakamoto is the richest person in the world, they quickly accept this seemingly absurd theory. However, some people still hesitate and say: "Then why do we need to inspect the land? Only inspection of the land will misunderstand His Highness Sakamoto."
, we won’t be incited if we act inappropriately!”
"That's not right!" Hosokawa Fujitaka said in a firm tone: "The land inspection plan is formulated to collect statistics on the land fertility in each township. Fertility is the fertility of the land. The more the land is planted, the poorer it becomes. If it needs to be left fallow for a whole year, the fertility of the land is consumed.
, His Highness Kira felt that it was not easy for everyone to farm, and they had to pay annual contributions, as well as military service and general service, so he decided to inspect the land once a year and then adjust the taxes appropriately. "
"His Royal Highness Sakamoto has his own considerations, but he always stands on everyone's side. The ruthless oppression was not done by me and the samurai family. Please rest assured on this!" Mitsui Tora, the chief of the inspection, coughed twice and said in a hoarse voice.
: "In addition, the military service and general recruitment of Shiga and Takashima counties will be changed to consider the richness and poverty of the land, the size of the population and the number of strong men to determine the military service burden. In the future, everyone will never be allowed to go to battle in vain, even if they go to battle with the Kira family.
When you serve as a soldier and receive food and rewards, are you still afraid that His Highness Sakamoto will deceive you?"
Mitsui Tougao has been under a lot of pressure these days. As a prosecutor, he is under tremendous pressure. At the same time, Mitsui Township, where his home is located, is also near Otsu. Many of the farmers causing trouble here are fellow villagers who have lived there for decades.
, In the past five days, there have only been no disturbances in Otsu, but Ikaku has something to do with his hard work. The residents of Otsu Town have been relatively restrained. Many of them have connections with Sakamoto Town, so they naturally know about Ikku's instigation this time.
When there was a problem, the farmers were relatively blind, allowing Mitsui Togao to spend a lot of effort to hold it down.
The farmers thought the same thing, so they quickly gave up the confrontation. They gathered from all over because they believed the rumors. Now that the rumors were exposed, of course they had to return to their hometowns. They didn't know how the crops in the fields were doing in the past few days.
After the gathered farmers gradually dispersed, Kira Yoshitoki began the second wave of attacks.
Under the guidance of public opinion in Otsu Town, some people began to come forward to expose who spread the rumors and who incited everyone to make a fuss. As a result, more and more evidence showed that it was all the retainers of the Yamaoka family who were instigating this. Gradually, the finger was pointed at
It must be in Yamaoka Kageyuki in Ritai County. This territory is Yamaoka Kageyuki's territory. His retainers also led an instigation, saying that he did not instigate it. Who would believe it?
Before Yamaoka Keiyuki decided how to respond to the question, the retainers of the Yamaoka family in Shiga Otsu could no longer sit still. Everyone was obviously making a fuss at the greeting, but why did they turn hostile to them in the blink of an eye? Then there was another saying,
The Yamaoka family is a retainer of the Rokkaku family and is a retainer of His Highness Kōkata. They have always been envious of the land owned by His Highness Kira, the direct minister of the shogunate. Because their family has made no achievements as Shiga governors for several generations, the Yamaoka family is jealous. They want to use everyone
He overthrew His Highness Kira with his own hands, and then appointed him as Shiga County Dai.
Who has the louder voice in Shiga County, the untrustworthy retainers of the Yamaoka family or the beloved Kira family? Besides, this statement has both nose and eyes, and the recent incitement to emigrate has become very reliable, even if the Yamaoka family
Jingzhi couldn't argue. He was indeed jealous and wanted to replace Kira Yoshitoki. As the lord of Shiga County, he had repeatedly refused Kira Yoshitoki's invitations and recruitments. He was unwilling to discuss Shiga County's government affairs with him.
He looks like an important minister of the Rokkaku family and is disgusting.
As a result, the incited Yamaoka family fell into a passive position. The angry civilians went to the Yamaoka family retainers to ask for an explanation. A fierce conflict broke out between the two parties. The Yamaoka family retainers may have held back too much anger for more than a year. The two sides used language.
The conflict escalated to a physical collision. The samurai of the Yamaoka family were all very strong and skilled in martial arts. Of course, these civilians were not good people either. Some of them were also from Ashigaru who had been in battle all year round. A group of samurai from both sides attacked the Yamaoka family and immediately overran their numbers.
The loss of disadvantage.
Their dozens of people were no match for the hundreds of wolf-like civilian opponents. The Yamaoka family samurai were forced to retreat to the Yashiki in the city to fight. They wanted to use the narrow terrain to limit the civilians' numerical advantage, but their little calculation was very difficult.
It was about to expire, and soon many samurai were knocked to the ground. Then the crowd got into chaos and trampled people to death. The samurai of the Yamaoka family became anxious, drew out their knives, and slashed wildly. The human skulls rolled down, and they were violently crushed.
The civilians were defeated step by step by being hacked and killed.
After dozens of civilians were hacked to death, they had to evacuate. What happened later became more and more troublesome. Originally, it was just a group fight and punching the old master to death. It was up to you to decide your own life. With your knife, didn't you push yourself into the civilian ranks?
The opposition, and then there was no more, the anxious civilians that day quickly formed an army and swarmed up. In almost one afternoon, two thousand people gathered and carried bamboo guns and rushed into the Yamaoka family's walled city.
The samurai of the Yamaoka family, who were outnumbered, were all dressed in gourds and hung outside the city. The Ikoku army also burned down the Yamaoka family's walled city. Seeing the raging fire rising into the sky, the angry Ikoku army cursed and roared, Hattori Masakiyoshi gradually
Hidden in the woods.
Although it is nice to see that things have reached this point, as the lord Kira Yoshi, he cannot always watch the show and send people to appease and deal with the aftermath, because the samurai of the Yamaoka family killed people first, but it is wrong to kill people and burn down the city, so these Yikui troops
He will also be punished, and the result of the punishment is that all those who participated in the attack will be included in the Kira family's standing staff, and will not be allowed to return to farming in the future.
Then the samurai of the Yamaoka family were punished for instigating the first attack and then killing civilians later, and their territory was confiscated and returned to the direct control of the Kira family. The two thousand and one soldiers were trained by the Mikawa samurai who were recruited that day and were brought to Sakamoto for reorganization.
, the Kira family's navy immediately landed in Otsu to build a fortified city, and completely controlled the exit of Lake Biwa. This series of changes happened so fast that the mountain scenery had no chance to react.
This blatant favoritism for the Yamaoka family didn't dare to do anything. It is said that Yamaoka Kageyuki was furious on the spot. Afterwards, the current head of the Yamaoka family, Yamaoka Kagetaka, came to see him. As soon as he came up, he expressed his submission to Kiraden's judgment, and then said that everyone was the same.
His Royal Highness's retainers should work together to avoid misunderstandings.
Only then did Kira Yoshi realize that the governor of the Yamaoka family had become a direct minister of Ashikaga Yoshitō, and according to him, his father was old and dim, and it was his own fault for being fined and confiscated of the Shiga territory. As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling face.
When Yamaoka Keitaka cooperated with him so wisely, obeyed the sentence and apologized, and even gave nine rural lands worth 20,000 koku to Kiragi as an apology, the matter was revealed.
——
ps: It was difficult for me to write how much territory the protagonist has before, because the territory is still increasing. So far, the Kira family’s territory in Omi has 48,000 koku, including 18,000 koku in Takashima County and 10,000 koku in Sakamoto.
Shi, Otsu 20,000 shi, the people of Shiga County were either incorporated or expelled.
The territory of Sanhe's hometown has 32,000 guanwen. Because the measurement unit of guangao varies from place to place, it cannot be uniformly converted into shigao.
