Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 374 Discussing the Kyushu Award

As long as Kobayakawa Longjing is arranged, the rest of the territory will be easy to talk about.

Since Hizen's territory was not clear, and it was inconvenient for the Xiu family to send people to investigate, they distributed it intact to Hizen's daimyo.

The specific awards are as follows:

Ryuzoji politicians helped Hideyoshi break through Shimadzu's Chikugo defense line because of his betrayal in Zhenzhong, and were given about 25 stones to the six counties of Saga, Kanzaki, Ojo, Kishima, and Fujitsu in the Hizen Kingdom to secure Ryuzo Temple home.

However, Hideyoshi did not inform the specific number of knowledge and practice of Ryuzoji family, but asked them to report the statistics after checking the grounds themselves.

In fact, because Ryuzoji's housekeeping is not in good health, Naomi Naoshima has been sorting out the housekeeping of the Ryuzoji family.

Including this battle of Kyushu, Ryuzoji's housekeeper has been staying in Saga Castle, and the front line has always been Naoshige Nabeshima.

Including going to meet Hideyoshi later, it was also Naoshima Naoshige who followed Hideyoshi to go south to Satsuma.

Hideyoshi had a good impression of Naoshima Naoshima, and several hints that he could become his direct minister were rejected. Therefore, Hideyoshi specifically asked the Ryuzoji family to separate the high castle not far from Saga to block Naoshima Naoshima, and to level up The total knowledge and practice is not less than 4 shi.

Of course, the above knowledge and practice are only a rough idea. For example, Goto Ienobu, the governor of the Goto family, a concubine of the Ryuzoji family, was allowed to be Hideyoshi's direct minister.

他的领地位于肥前腹地, 各地交汇之处，根据秀吉的安排他会领有杵岛郡内长岛方约3千3百石、杵岛郡冢崎庄约9千3百石、下松浦郡内有田约3千6百石、小城郡内东乡约3百石等，得到合计约1万9千7百石知行。

Omura Kizen owns the Omura area in the southern part of Hechi County, and the northern part of the Nagasaki Peninsula, about 2 shi, and controls the entire Omura Bay.

Arima Harunobu was allowed to possess the eastern part of Golai County, a piece of territory shaped like a kidney on the far right of the Golai Peninsula, and Chiyuki was about 3 shi.

Matsuura Shinnobu owns the Hirado region and the territory of 6 koku in Kamatsuura County, and on his right is Hata-chan who is believed to be stuck in the Karatsu region.In addition, there are 2 koku of Goto Genya of Goto, and Harukoshi of Ryuzoji Temple who was sealed in the eastern part of Gorae County.

All the above knowledge and practice data are all from Hideyoshi's estimates, and are not actual knowledge and practice. Hideyoshi asked the Hizen daimyo to inspect the land after the autumn harvest this year, and report the actual knowledge and practice as the final knowledge and practice record.

In terms of Chikugo, it is still divided by the two brothers Tachibana Somo, among which Tachibana Somo was sealed in Chikugo Yanagawa Castle for 14.6 shi as always, but the territory has changed. Most of Miike County was taken away, and the part of Mizuma County was compensated.

他现在领有三潴郡大部（7）、下妻郡（1.7）、山门郡（4.8），三池郡北部1.1万石，知行合计14.6万石。

而弟弟原田统增的领地变化就更大了, 他现在领有三潴郡西部（1.2）、御井郡全部（1.8）、山本郡（0.8），竹野（0.8）生叶（0.8）、上妻郡（2.3），知行合计7.7万石，本城久米留城。

After the Chikuzen Kingdom had learned that Zhixing had exceeded 45 shi, Hideyoshi re-divided the territory of the Chikuzen Kingdom, and stuffed 4 daimyos into its territory.

First of all, Munakata's dominance over Munakata County remains unchanged. The four counties of Sara, Yito, and Shima in the west, most of Naka, and Kasuya will have a total of about 4 koku.

A total of 7.1 koku was awarded to Kurate and Hoonami in the eastern part of the border with Munakata; Toda Katsutaka was awarded; a total of 4 koku was awarded to Mori Yoshinari from the four counties of Kama and Kamijo.

Toda Katsutaka was the former minister of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and served as the leader of Huang Muyizhong.In the first year of Tensho (1573), 250 kanwen were given to Omi.In the 5th year of Tensho (1577), when Hideyoshi was the lord of Harima Himeji, another 5000 stones were added.

After that, he participated in various battles such as the Battle of Yamazaki, the Battle of Kidake, and the Battle of Komaki Nagakute.History After the 15th year of Tianzheng (1587) after the crusade against Kyushu, he awarded 7 shi to Iyo Oshu.

Speaking of the name Mori Yoshinari, many people may be unfamiliar, so everyone must have heard of his other name, Mori Katsunobu, and his son Mori Yoshinaga (Maori Katsunaga).

Mori Yoshinari is also an old minister who followed Hideyoshi. He was born in Huangyi and his mother. Born in 1577, Katsunaga was only 10 years old, but because of his very cleverness, Hideyoshi adopted him as a small surname. This time, 4.2 of the 1 stones awarded to Mori Yoshinaga The stone is specially marked for Katsunaga Mori who has not yet taken Yuanfu.

It is worth noting that Mori Yoshinari's real surname is Mori, because Mori and Maori have the same pronunciation in Japanese. During the Kyushu Conquest, Hideyoshi acted as a matchmaker to recognize the sect of the Maori family, the hegemony of the Western Kingdom, and simply changed the word Miao to Maori.

筑前南部的夜须（2.8）、御笠（3）、下座（1.5）、上座（1.8）合计9.1万石封赏给了因幡鸟取城宫部继润，本城是高桥家的本城御笠军岩屋城。

肥前国基肄郡（0.5）、養父郡（1）、三根郡（2）、御前国的御原郡（3.1），知行合计6.6万石给了羽柴秀胜, 本城是御笠郡的山隈城。（肥前知行依旧是预估）
That's right, this Hashiba Hidekatsu is Hashiba Hideji's younger brother. Although he participated in the battle of Nagakute as a reward for Komaki, he did not make any meritorious service. His real first battle was the Battle of Kii in 1585. After the war, he was awarded 5000 stone territory.

In this battle of Kyushu, he participated in the vanguard of his elder brother Hashiba Hideji, and was captured after a bitter battle.After being imprisoned for a year, the Shimadzu family surrendered before being released.

Because Toyotomi Hideji had stretched his hips too much before, Hideyoshi really had no face to seal Hideji. At the same time, Hideyoshi was captured by the enemy for another year, so it can be considered hard work.

Perhaps Hideyoshi wanted to give credit to his nephew Hideji to his younger brother Hidekatsu, so Hideyoshi was exceptionally promoted to be the lord of 6.6 stones in Chikugo Yamakuma this time, and Zhixing has doubled by 13 times.

It's a pity that this stupid person didn't know what to do, and he uttered nonsense about Hideyoshi's arrangement at the reward dinner later, thinking that he and his brother Hideji were given less rewards, so Hideyoshi changed the reward from Chikugo Yamakuma to Kaga 3000 shi.

And the territory of Yamakuma was finally handed over by Hideyoshi to Horio Yoshiharu who followed him when Mino started his career.

丰前国被一分为二，企救郡（2.4）、京都郡（2）、田川郡（3.1）、仲津郡（2.5）以及筑前的远贺郡（3.5）合计13.7万石被封赏给了蒲生氏乡，本城是小仓城，让其看守九州的北大门。

丰前国築城郡（1.3）、上毛郡（2.1）、下毛郡（2.9）、宇佐郡（5.2），合计11.5万石封赏给了黑田官兵卫，本城是中津城。

So far, the awards for all parts of Kyushu have been basically negotiated. Higo Ikkuni Hideyoshi intends to award them to his trusted daimyos, but because he does not have the real Ishiko, he delays it and waits for the autumn harvest to be awarded.

It’s just that Hideyoshi will inevitably be a little disappointed this time, because shortly after he left Kyushu, Asano Nagamasa, Konishi Governor, Kato Kiyomasa and others caused dissatisfaction among the local wealthy families when they seized Higo.

They set off an uproar in Hiho, claiming that Hideyoshi's seizure of land was to deprive farmers of the fields they cultivated by themselves.Those farmers who didn't have any questions were easily incited, picked up farm tools and bamboo guns and joined the ranks against Hideyoshi's land seizure.

Hideka also sensed something unusual in transferring Miyabe Tsutsuru from Inaba to Kyushu, and he thought it might be a move to move his reward.

So he asked Hideyoshi with a smile, "Is Father planning to award Inaba to me?"

There is nothing to be taboo about, as a samurai desires knowledge and action, this is what he should be.Who would have thought that Hideyoshi replied, "I am going to award Ikoma-chan in Inaba Tottori, and let him own the whole country of Inaba."

"Is it the whole country of Inaba?" Xiujia asked in surprise, "The western part of Inaba seems to be my territory, so I want to make room for him?"

Hideyoshi quickly confirmed: "Yes, I plan to use 10 koku from Izumo Bankoku as your compensation."

Hearing Hideyoshi's answer, Hideka said in surprise: "Izumo? This is the territory of the Mori family."

The Xiu family couldn't help but be surprised. The Maori family couldn't say that they had nothing to do in the battle of Kyushu. At least they attacked the city with soy sauce. There is no credit but hard work.

It’s fine that Hideyoshi didn’t allow the Mori family to acquire territory in Kyushu, and even dug out a piece of land from the Mori family’s territory. Isn’t this forcing the Mori family back!

Perhaps seeing Hideka's surprise, Hideyoshi explained from the side: "Don't worry so much, Hachiro. I am going to let Motocho Yoshikawa become independent from the Mori family, and exchange 12 koku from Tosaoka Toyojo for the 6 counties in the east of Izumo from the Mori family. 10 stone.

In this way, the Izumo West and Iwami East controlled by the Yoshikawa family are completely handed over to Mori Terumoto's control. Do you think he will accept it? "

"Are you going to divide the Mori family again like what Kobayakawa Kingo used to do?" After Hideyoshi confirmed it to Hideyoshi, he shook his head and denied, "But with all due respect, the Yoshikawa family's knowledge and practice has a full 10 koku, about 2 shi I'm afraid the difference in stones won't make the Maori family make any concessions."

Hideyoshi had anticipated the reaction of the Xiu family, and he explained very calmly, "Of course it's not enough. Doesn't Iyo still have a plot of land? How about taking out 6 shi to house Huiqiong of Anguo Temple?"

Hideyoshi said here that the arrangements for the Maori family have been cleared up. Hideyoshi intends to use about 5 shi to increase the title (Anguoji Huiqiong received 3.4 shi from the Maori family), and Anguoji Huiqiong and Yoshikawa Motocho from Stripped from the Maori vassal system.

As for Mori Terumoto, Anguoji Huiqiong and Yoshikawa Motocho already occupied nearly 15 shi of their Zhixing (82 shi of the Maori leader), and they were removed from their vassal system. I can calmly grasp the territory they vacated.

The two were veterans left by Mao Liyuan, who occupied a large amount of knowledge and practice, but had a certain degree of restraint on themselves. Removing them not only did not have any disadvantages, but instead helped him completely control the Mao Li family.

So for Mori Terumoto, why not let the two of them move away?

Hideya, who is familiar with history, knows that even though Hideyoshi separated the two of them from the Mori family as independent daimyos, at the time of the Sekigahara War, Hiroshi Yoshikawa and Kei Joan Angukuki still obeyed the orders of Terumoto Mori, Blocked Maori Xiuyuan on the mountain, and caused the defeat of the Western Army Guanyuan.

Hideyoshi's current behavior, in the Hide family's view, Hideyoshi's behavior is tantamount to cutting meat to feed the eagles, and in the end, I am afraid that a huge "Kobayakawa" family will be created.

But looking at Hideyoshi's excited face, Hideyoshi understood mentally that this plan had been in Hideyoshi's mind for a long time, and he would never listen to persuasion.

Therefore, I can only echo and say, "In this way, the two rivers of Maori will be separated from the Maori family system, and my father will no longer have any worries about the Maori family."

Hearing that Hideyoshi also praised his idea, Hideyoshi laughed and said, "Hahaha, if even Hachiro agrees, then this plan can definitely be implemented."

Hideyoshi continued, "I'm going to transfer Ichimatsuya to Tosa, and get 10 shi in the west, so that I can free up the northern part of Tangzhu Castle and give it to you. In this way, your comprehensive seal will be about 11 (10-6 +7) Wanshi or so.

You supported Usuki, pacified Chikuzen, captured Bungo and Hinata, and made great contributions. 11 shi won’t be enough to repay your contribution, but many people have made great contributions this time. Some of them have not been sealed for several years. I also I want a bowl of water to be flat.

But the territory of Zhixing is only so big, the Zhixing on your side is temporarily pressed, and I will make it up after I have calmed down the world. "

Hearing that Hideyoshi would give him a seal of 11 koku, Hideyoshi immediately thanked Hideyoshi and said, "My father gave me everything, and I am very satisfied to get 9 koku seal.

Besides, I just added Boqi and Yiyu kingdoms the year before last, so it's really inappropriate to increase the territory rashly this time, lest I become the target of public criticism. "

In fact, the Xiu family knew very well in their hearts that with Hideyoshi's character of rewarding and rewarding, he was already very satisfied with giving 9 shi. As for the remaining knowledge and behavior, let's write it down for the time being, and it will be fine as a placebo.

The above was Hideyoshi's self-effacing words, but Hideyoshi retorted immediately after listening to it: "What are you talking about, if you have meritorious service, you should be rewarded, if you have demerit, you should be punished, why do you say it so that everyone criticizes it?

Don't you deserve credit for killing yourself with a knife and a gun?This matter is so decided, don't make excuses. "

Since Hideyoshi wanted to insist, Hideka no longer entangled in this matter.

Hideyoshi, Hideonaga and Hideo were so engrossed in discussing the issue of Kyushu's rewards that they forgot the time for a while. It was not until the sun went down that the light in the house was not enough to realize that it had been a long time.

It happened that someone outside the house said that the dinner was ready, and Hideyoshi and the three were invited to have dinner, and Hideyoshi was about to end the conversation.

After all, the ancient people's work and rest were very regular, and generally there was nothing to stay up late.

But the Xiu family stopped the two of them, "My lord father, please wait a moment, my lord uncle, my son has a happy event to tell you two."

Hideyoshi, who was about to get up, stopped when he heard Hideya calling him, and asked very curiously, "Does Hachiro have anything else to ask?"

Xiujia stopped the two of them not to ask questions, but to confess to them about the Iyobesko Copper Mountain.

After all, with Hideyoshi promulgating the order to take all the mines in the world to the Toyotomi family, it is impossible to hide the secret of Besshi Copper Mine.

Rather than being taken back by Hideyoshi for hiding the mine at that time, it is better to take the initiative to explain now, negotiate a certain ratio, and hold Besshi Copper Mine in his hands.

Seeing the two of them sitting down again, Xiujia called out to the outside of the house, "Hanbei, get some candlesticks to light the house, and also bring the things I asked you to prepare yesterday."

Shimizu Xin also received the order outside the house, and responded through the door: "Ha Yi"

Not long after, Hideyoshi's attendants opened the doors and walked in with 7 or 8 candlesticks, while Shimizu Nobuya and Anayama Nobutada carried a box in front of Hideyoshi.
