Vassal (vassal)

/kloc-In the 7th century, Tokugawa Ieyasu established a feudal system ruled by shogunate and vassal states, which was called "the Mufan system".

Under the shogunate system, the general is the supreme ruler of Japan and the shogunate is the highest political organ of the country. Tokugawa era was a vassal state all over the country. The ruler of the vassal is Daming, who is loyal to the shogunate, and the shogunate implements an alternate pilgrimage system for them. Daming still has great independence, and they have administrative, judicial, military, tax and other rights within their own territory. Feudal land ownership is practiced throughout the country, and all the lords' land is cultivated by farmers. Farmers have to pay land rent and fulfill various feudal obligations. The shogunate implemented a registration system for farmers and strictly controlled their political thoughts. In fact, the names of various vassal States can be divided into three categories. The first category is the relatives of generals who conquered foreign countries, whose territory was sealed near Feng Jingen. The second category is the loyal ministers who fought side by side with the generals who conquered foreign countries in their early years. The third category is the names of people who surrendered to the shogunate in the war, but still could not gain the trust of the shogunate. Such names are usually sealed in border areas. After the implementation of the wooden model system, in order to consolidate the political power and defend the territory, the shogunate implemented a closed-door policy, which was not broken until after the Meiji Restoration. It can be said that the Mufan system has advantages and disadvantages.

The ruling system implemented by the Edo shogunate is called the "Mufan System". The central government is the shogunate and the local governments are vassals. The shogunate not only ruled the vassals, but also allowed them to have relative autonomy. The main income of the shogunate depends on the annual tribute of the directly affiliated territory and the tribute of the shogunate. The shogunate also monopolized foreign trade. The land outside the territory of the shogunate was divided into about 260 governors. All governors and lords must visit the general of Edo regularly. This is the so-called "attendance system".
