Chapter 281 Returning to Japan (36) Becoming a Parent
Kafihime said: "If we let them go back, we will be taking the opposite trend. Once these Daimyos of the Western Kingdom and the direct lineage of Toyotomi return to Japan, the power of the Eastern Kingdom and the Western Kingdom will be roughly similar, and the Toyotomi clan also has the backbone of the army. The three parties will roughly
Showing a tripartite momentum.
However, I think it is a tripod, but it is not the case. The reason why Taige was able to dominate the world in the past was not because its territory was vast, but because its financial resources were strong enough..."
At this time, Gao Pragmatic suddenly interjected: "I only know a rough idea about Toyotomi Hideyoshi's territory. Since you were raised by the Narita family as a Hime Samurai, you should know more about it in detail. You might as well tell me about it.
.”
In fact, Jinghua has established an intelligence system in Japan. This information is not difficult to obtain, but their tasks are more focused on the current situation and they don't pay much attention to past changes, so Gao Yingshi said that he only had a general understanding.
Kaiji didn't have any special reaction. When Gao pragmatically asked her to speak, she explained honestly: "Yes, sir. Regarding the Taikaku territory, I think we can't just look at the Taikaku himself, but should look at the entire Toyotomi clan.
Come and see.”
Gao pragmatic said "hmm" and motioned for her to continue.
Kafihime then continued: "Taikou... Oh, Hideyoshi's territory changes are roughly as follows: in the first year of Tensho, he was granted the title of Omi Nagahama, the old territory of Asai, for 120,000 koku; in the fifth year of Tensho, he was granted the title of Harima, a country of 300,000 koku.
Fifty-nine thousand koku; during the Seiju Conference in the 10th year of Tensho, most of the old Oda territory of Harima, Tamba, Settsu, Tajima, Inaba, Hoki, Awaji and other countries were allocated, about 1.6 million koku.
1.7 million koku. The territory directly under its jurisdiction is roughly the eastern part of Harima, the country of Tamba, and part of Settsu, with a total of about 700,000 koku.
From then on, from Ikeda Gakihiro to Mino Ogaki until his death, Hideyoshi's direct jurisdiction was Settsu, and 567,000 stone territories in both Hanoi and Japan. In addition, there were about 160 Taikou hidden areas.
Thousands of stones.
The hiding places of the Toyotomi family were carved out from the daimyo territories that submitted to the Toyotomi family in the name of the lord. Most of the hiding places are managed by nearby daimyo. For example, Yoshitsugi Otani, who has a territory of 50,000 koku, is in charge.
Manage tens of thousands of stones hidden in the ground, and actually control the territory of about hundreds of thousands of stones.
Therefore, based on this calculation, Hideyoshi had about 600,000 koku in his possession and 1.6 million koku hidden in the ground, for a total of about 2.2 million koku.
Let's talk about Toyotomi Hidenaga's territorial changes: in the fifth year of Tensho, he completed the pacification of Tajima, and was granted the title of Tajima Takeno with 65,000 koku, officially becoming a daimyo. In the eleventh year of Tensho, he was granted the title of Tajima and Harima.
Harima Himeji 150,000 koku.
In the thirteenth year of Tensho, Kii Gen came to the temple to pacify the temple and obtained Izumi. The two countries of Kii and I secured 368,000 koku. In the same year, after the pacification of the Four Kingdoms, Yamato and I gained 445,000 koku, totaling 91
Thirteen thousand koku. From then until his death, Toyotomi Hideho inherited them all.
Let's talk about Toyotomi Hideji: In the tenth year of Tensho, he was granted the title of 20,000 koku from Kawachi Kitayama. In the thirteenth year of Tensho, he was granted the title of 430,000 koku from Omi Hachimanzan. In the eighteenth year of Tensho, he was granted the title of five additional counties of Higashi Owari and four counties of North Ise.
One hundred and seventy thousand stones, a total of nine hundred thousand stones.
However, after his death in the 14th year of Bunroku, the territory was taken over as Toyotomi's hiding place - Oh, I just said that Hideyoshi's hiding place was 1.6 million koku, which already included Hidetsu's 900,000 koku.
stone.
Finally, there is the current Toyotomi Hideyori. He should inherit the direct control of Hanoi from his father, the direct control of Settsu and Ryogoku, about 580,000 koku, and the hidden land of 1.64 million koku. In this case, the current Toyotomi family
The direct line's territory is 2.22 million koku. As for the 913,000 koku in Hideho's hands, Hideyori cannot use it."
After Kaiji said this, Gao Pragmatic was able to combine the current situation with what he had learned in the original history.
He used to wonder about one thing, that is, later generations recorded that Hideyoshi had a territory of 2.2 million koku when he was alive, but after the Battle of Sekigahara, Hideyoshi inexplicably had less than 600,000 koku left.
Even after passing the Keicho Township account (that is, Tokugawa Ieyasu's inspection area), the actual increase was only 650,000 koku - so where did the remaining territory go?
The Battle of Sekigahara was strange to some extent. Both the East and West families used force in the name of respecting the Toyotomi clan, but the Toyotomi clan did not participate in the war and became a neutral outsider. But regardless of the Toyotomi clan's
How weird the performance was. At the end of the Battle of Sekigahara, Hideyori was still the nominal lord. With Ieyasu's conduct, it was impossible to cut down the direct leader of Toyotomi's family.
Because of this, Gao Pingshi had been wondering how the remaining 1.6 million stone territory disappeared. Now it makes sense: the 1.6 million stone was never the direct property of the Toyotomi family.
Territory, but hiding place. Since the hiding place was given by the subordinate daimyo to the lord in "obedience", of course they did not have to do so, so so many territories were used by Ieyasu to reshuffle them.
Of course, to a large extent, the disappearance of the hiding places also means that no one "serves the public", that is, the various daimyo no longer regard Hideyori as their lord. It can be said that when these hiding places were taken and redistributed by Ieyasu
, Hideyori is no longer a member of the world - no matter in name or reality.
Finally, I would like to add that Tokugawa Ieyasu, as the Toyotomi clan elder (the head of the five great elders), dealt with the hiding place in the name of rewarding meritorious officials. Therefore, Hideyori, who has not yet "taken charge", has nothing to do. Toyotomi
Jia could only watch helplessly but could not resist.
Hey, wait a minute... Hideno's territory was inherited by Hideho. This is a fact, but Hideho died two or three years ago! He was an extinct heir, so where did the more than 900,000 stone territory in his name go?
Gao Jingshi quickly asked another question, and Kaiji said: "I was just about to say this... Generally speaking, these territories were divided up after Hideho's death, but the process is more complicated and there are still a lot of wrangling.
.
The most notable among them are that the 200,000 koku of Yamato-gunyama Castle was obtained by Masuda Nagamori, and the 190,000 koku of Sawayama Castle was obtained by Ishida Mitsunari. In addition, many small daimyo fiefdoms have undergone slight changes... By the way, Ieyasu also received a share.
Big chunks.”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! So that’s the case, this makes sense... I said that when I was playing games, how come I saw Tokugawa Ieyasu in Kinki in the Battle of Sekigahara script?
There is such a large piece of land, it turned out to be here.
To say that Hideuchi was quite unlucky, Hideho was originally an adopted son, but he died at an early age when he was only 17 years old. He lost his uncle and adoptive father's nearly one million koku territory in vain. Otherwise, the Toyotomi family might not have been able to rise again.
capital.
However... Gao Jingshi just casually lamented that it was none of his business that the Toyotomi family was unlucky! For Hideyoshi's ambition, Gao Jingshi felt that even if the Toyotomi family was more unlucky, it would not be an exaggeration.
Furthermore, what Kaihime said just now was not clear. After Hideho died, the division of the territory of nearly one million koku left by Hidenaga seems to be a mess, at least judging from the games made by the Japanese in later generations.
In it, Ieyasu gained at least the entire two countries of Kii and Yamato.
However, the question is, is this division also nominally assigned to Ieyasu, or does Ieyasu only actually control these two countries? You know, these two countries are not small countries. Kii has 244,000 koku and Yamato has 449,000 koku.
, the total territory is nearly 700,000 koku, accounting for most of Hidecho and Hideho's territory.
But now there is still a problem. Kaihime also said that the 200,000 koku of Yamato Koriyama Castle was obtained by Masuda Nagamori, and the 190,000 koku of Sawayama Castle was obtained by Ishida Mitsunari. Just like this, the account does not add up... It seems that
It's really supposed to be a wrangling at the moment, but in fact there's no clear distinction.
Forget it, let’s not think about this for now. Anyway, as long as we have a clear grasp of the general situation, these small problems will not matter by then. Gao Pragmatic then waved his hand and motioned for Kafei to continue the previous topic.
At this moment, Kaiji almost forgot what she had said before, and thought for a moment before continuing: "I just mentioned Tai... Hideyoshi has strong financial resources. This is mainly due to inheriting Nobunaga's practice.
The Oda family focused on commerce, implemented entertainment, and separated military and peasants. This allowed them to rise rapidly from a small area in Owari, and they fought in both the south and the north without ever being short of military pay... This fact was actually easily equaled by Kyoka in southern Xinjiang.
The local kingdoms are quite similar.
After that, Hideyoshi also continued Nobunaga's approach. He did not pay special attention to the nominal size of the territory and the food output of the territory, but rather to the impregnable cities such as Osaka and the gold and silver mines directly under the Toyotomi family.
There are also various castle towns controlled by the Toyotomi family, etc."
Gao Pragmatic smiled and nodded: "Yes, if you include gold and silver mines, trade taxes and other income, the actual income of the Toyotomi family's direct jurisdiction may be several times higher than that of the Tokugawa family. This does not include other people loyal to Toyotomi."
The actual income of the daimyo of the Omi family. This strong economic strength was enough to make Tokugawa Ieyasu submit to the Toyotomi family."
Ji Feiji said: "I am wise, I did not know how to look at the problem from this perspective in the past. It was not until I served you that I gained such insights."
Gao Pragmatic smiled and said: "The major events in the world are complicated to say the least, but simple to say the least. In the final analysis, there are three things, and all three things are related to money."
Ji Feiji asked in surprise: "Is that so?" It was obvious that she was very curious about these three things, but because Gao Pragmatic said "big things in the world", she did not dare to ask rashly.
Gao pragmatic knew why she was so cautious, but he didn't think there was anything unreasonable about it. He said casually: "Yes, just three things: where the money comes from, where it is spent, and who manages the money."
In fact, these three things Gao Pragmatic said are the basic views of political economics in later generations, and there is nothing surprising at all. It’s just that such views are a bit shocking for the current era. Fortunately, Kaihime herself is Japanese.
I am not from the Ming Dynasty where ethics and ethics were stricter, but I accepted it faster.
"Where does the money come from, where is it spent, and who manages the money..." Kaiji suddenly realized it, and thought for a moment: "If you put it like this, no wonder Hideyoshi can become a man in the world. Ah, more than that, no wonder the master is in the court
I understand that you can have such prestige!"
Where does the money come from? Now the Ming Dynasty's largest source of cash flow is no longer agricultural taxes, but has gradually shifted to commercial taxes. Of course, including Jinghua's mines in various places, they now also fall under the category of commercial taxes.
And who developed this largest cash source? Of course it was highly pragmatic.
Where to spend it? This is very complicated, but after all, this era is no better than later generations. Generally speaking, it is still mainly spent on military expenses, raising officials, imperial examinations, flood control, etc., which can be generally regarded as "maintaining rule." As for the future, Gao Pragmatic still plans to
Making some progress and improvements will be done later.
Who manages the money? This question is a redundant question. Since Gao Pragmatic completed the reform of the Large Household Department, the responsibility for managing money has basically rested on the shoulders of Gao Nanning, who has always been the Secretary of the Household Department. Of course, internal funds also manage money, but
Just like the improvement of the Ming Dynasty's financial system, although the current internal funds are not as bad as they were in history, they are not the same as those of the large households.
It can be said that 90% of the financial power in the world today is in the hands of Gao Pragmatic.
Gao Pragmatic had a relatively good understanding of the current financial situation of various forces in Japan, so he didn't intend to say more and signaled Kaiji to continue.
Kafihime said: "Then as long as the direct lineage of the Toyotomi family can return to the homeland, and no one dares to break Toyotomi's official etiquette, the Toyotomi family's financial resources will still be strong. In this case, although the Toyotomi family's military force is relatively
It has actually dropped quite a bit from before, but as long as it is managed properly, it is not difficult to replenish these strengths.
However, there is a problem here. As I said before, Mitsunari's hostility towards Ieyasu cannot be concealed at all. Once he thinks that the power he can muster is enough to overwhelm Ieyasu, I think he will definitely jump out and cause trouble.
Since Sanbon himself is the de facto leader of the Five Practices and controls the nominal center of the Toyotomi family, both he and Ieyasu will actually have a certain degree of legitimacy - both parties can come under the banner of Toyotomi.
Do something.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As long as Ieyasu can't find a way to suppress Mitsunari, a fierce conflict will break out between the two people sooner or later. In this case, since most of the Togoku daimyo were affected by the murder of Hidesugu
With Ieyasu's favor, Ieyasu is very likely to fight against Mitsunari with the power of Eastern Kingdom.
If Sancheng can find a way to unite the Daimyo of the Western Kingdom at this time and get the main Daimyo of the Western Kingdom to side with him, then a war will definitely break out between the two sides! If I want them to fight against each other, then it would not be a bad idea to let the Japanese troops in North Korea go back."
"You are cautious and call both approaches feasible, but I think you must have guessed something, right?" Gao Pragmatic smiled.
Kaiji leaned over and said, "I'm joking, how dare I speculate on such a thing. In fact, I also know that no matter whether we let go of the Japanese troops in North Korea or not, I believe that acting will play some role in Japan.
In this case, from my point of view, it is really not very important whether to let them go or not. Let them go back, and after the Japanese civil war is exhausted, the master will definitely take action to clean up the situation; if you don't let them go back, Tokugawa Ieyasu will take over as
As an adopted son, after the establishment of the shogunate, I will also be the successor, as long as Ieyasu can't do any small things."
"There is a big difference between the two, you should be able to see it." Gao Pragmatic shook his head slightly.
"Yes. The former requires me to use troops, but as long as I send troops to wipe out the remaining forces of each family, it will be relatively easy to rule in the future; the latter may rely on the general situation to force Ieyasu to be used by me, but in this case, the original strength of each daimyo will be
Still, Yan'er may face some troubles in the future, so I have some worries, so I can work hard instead of working hard."
Gao Pragmatic nodded and said, "So in your heart you still hope that Yan'er can be more relaxed in the future, right?"
"This... is, please forgive me for my selfishness." Kafei Ji leaned over again and said.
"You are his mother, so this idea is understandable." Gao Pragmatic nodded: "Similarly, I am his father, so naturally I am willing to pave a more open road ahead for him."
Kaiji felt relieved, but unexpectedly Gao Pragmatic added: "However, there is no need to wipe out all the Japanese troops in Korea. The identity of Ieyasu's adopted son will also be of some use to Yan'er in the future. It's just that Ieyasu is lucky now, but I
We have to pour a basin of cold water on him to wake him up."
