Edo Traveler

  Chapter 290 55. Hachioji Thousands of People Concentric

  You, a bully, and me, what magical trick Zhuge Liang is playing, Chugoemon raised his head and glanced at the appearance of Matsudaira Qixuan. This person is still such a cocky appearance.

   "..." The old **** was waiting for Chuemon to ask his own Matsudaira Chisunzuo and so on, but he didn't see Chuemon to ask, asking himself for a lack of interest.

  It's a pity that his temper is here. He thinks that Chuemon is good, and he will continue to associate with him, unless something big happens. If Chuemon doesn't ask him now, he will also say. We are the old scumbag of Chuemon, knowing that this kind of person has always been used to going to heaven, so I have to hang him from time to time, otherwise the future will be impossible.

   "You must not have thought, this matter should be in Hachioji!" Songping Qixuan pointed to the west.

  "Hachioji?" What happened to Hachioji? Chuemon's eyes were blackened, what's so special about this place? To be able to train the new army, there is no need to recruit people from these waste samurai in the shogunate.

   "There are also things you don't know!"

  Matsuhira hailed Tadaoemon to go along. Anyway, the Okujo team in front of him has no tricks to watch. It's better to find a place to eat ice, it's summer, and the sun in Edo is very hot.

  Two people only dress up as waiting samurai. Except for three or two attendants, they don't bring many other ceremonies. Although Chuemon had a great reputation in Edo, it was not the age when there were photos. Even if some Ukiyo-e was spread, not everyone knew Chuemon. As for Songping Qixuan, let alone, you are also a big name.

  One brick, Edo can knock down more than 300!

  The ice shop today is slightly different from the ice shop in the future Japanese anime. It is more overlapped with the snack shop on the corner of the street. It is convenient for travelers on the road to rest, and the market is good, but it is not profitable. There was a sign of "ice" at the entrance of the shop, and the curtain was opened to enter. There were also a few pedestrian warriors eating snacks in the shop.

  No one deliberately raised their heads and watched the two of them, greeted the boss to serve two matcha red bean ices, and screamed some ice for the entourage sitting under the awning at the door, and then sat down at ease.

"It's not as good as the milk ice from the shop in front of Wu Fuqiao, plus granulated sugar." Songping Qixuan's food is the best in the world. Of course, there are some comparisons, but it's hot, not as good as there. It won't stop.

   "It's a little farther, let's go next time." Chuemon doesn't matter, just eat some.

   "I just said that Hachioji is not, this is a long story..."

Things need to be transferred to two hundred decades ago. At that time, the Tokugawa shogunate was not established, and the world was still Toyotomi Hideyoshi's world. Tokugawa Ieyasu was just a land with one million stones and one hundred and fifty for his servants. The name of Ten Thousand Stone Territory. Although it is considered the top among the big names, it may not be more prominent.

  Like a Maori family, if you bring a large group of brothers and ministers, six to seventy thousand people will pull it casually. The Maeda family and Uesugi family can also be pulled out by forty to fifty thousand people in their leisure time. Tokugawa Ieyasu, with ambitions in the world, has been prepared for his future since entering Kanto.

  This kind of preparation is naturally what many people think of, training soldiers, buying horses, repairing armors, and being ready to conquer the world at any time. But at that time, Ieyasu Tokugawa brought into Kanto with only a few hundreds of Naocho Kimoto, and he did not bring a large number of samurai into Kanto at all.

   Acting in this way, of course, the Kanto local samurai caused a large-scale freak because there were not too many outsiders coming to grab the territory of Zhixing. But it also made Tokugawa Ieyasu an extremely lack of direct troops that could be used for World War I, and there were not enough grassroots officers. It makes no difference if you have a million army or a million pigs.

  Maybe the fighting power is not as good as a million wild boars...

  What should I do? Things are always going to be done. Therefore, Ieyasu Tokugawa absorbed the original Hojo samurai on a large scale, as well as the old wealthy families in the Kanto region. For example, the famous Wushu Ota clan immediately became Ieyasu's escort, and the Noshu Minagawa clan and Soshu Masaki clan also turned to Tokugawa Ieyasu one after another with the demands of security.

  Finally, Ieyasu Tokugawa was recognized by the lords of Kanto, and he basically settled on the throne of Lord of Kanto. And acknowledging the leadership of these Kanto tycoons, there is a new problem.

  How to check land?

   Toyotomi Hideyoshi let Tokugawa Ieyasu transfer to Kanto, not necessarily hope that Tokugawa Ieyasu and Sasa Narimasa are the same, because the seizure of land led to a large-scale frustration, and was finally severely punished.

   Tokugawa Ieyasu first stabilized the group of outsiders by absorbing the lords of Kanto, but their territories could not be checked. Without territory, there would be no troops, and the Sanhe Five Hundred Horses brought into Kanto would definitely not be able to suppress this group of local snakes. Tokugawa Ieyasu still needs his own direct line of troops to be able to defeat the crowd.

  So I fell into a paradox. If you want to have a lineage, you must have a territory. But the territory is in the hands of the mighty, and if you want to fight the mighty, you must have troops. Without enough knowledge and action, everything is imaginary. Therefore, at that time, Motomasa Hikakasaka, Tadoshi Aoyama, and Changan Okubo were appointed as acting officials of the Kanto prefectures, and the confiscated territories of the Hojo clan were seized.

  Good Lai can get hundreds of thousands of stones...

  One of them is the future General Commissioner Okubo Changan who presides over the Kanto land inspection. After the land seizure was completed, Ieyasu Tokugawa began to reorganize his own army, and gradually trained more than 30,000 men on the territories directly under him. These 30,000 people were later handed over to Tokugawa Hidetada, but the eggs were not used, and they did not catch up with the Sekihara War.

  If this is the case, I won’t mention it. Just talk about land seizures. The land seized is only enough to feed 20,000 to 30,000 people. The remaining Kanto is strong enough to provide tens of thousands of people, but everyone thinks Tokugawa Ieyasu really trusts them?

  The Hojo Clan and Hojo Clan’s father and son were sold last year. This year Tokugawa Ieyasu trusts them unconditionally? Unless you are a fool ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, at most this group of goods will be used and guarded.

  In order to ensure that his strength would not lose too much to these tyrants, Tokugawa Ieyasu also had to sacrifice a magic weapon that all the great names like to use during the Warring States Period.

  Samurai in the township!

  The most famous is the Shimadzu clan. Because the feudal lord can't support so many warriors, a large number of warriors work in the countryside as part-agricultural and part-soldier. They are actually farmers, but they are samurai. This has a certain relationship with Shimadzu's proliferation in Southern Kyushu for a long time, and there are a large number of collaterals.

  The same is true for Tosa’s Nagazong Ibu Yuan-kin. As long as you can afford to have enough, then you will be granted the status of samurai, but you still continue to grow your land and be your farmer. And this policy is not only limited to Ditou, even the second and third sons of the Ditou family, as well as the redundant children of self-employed farmers, can obtain the status of rural scholars.

  Ieyasu Tokugawa, who does not have so many territories to support his soldiers, unsurprisingly chose an establishment similar to that of a townsman to build his armed forces. Ensure that there are sufficient soldiers available for use in future large-scale wars. And this force is right in front of Edo's eyes. It was established by Okubo Changan, expanded successively, and continues to this day.

  Thousands of people in Musashi Hachioji!
