Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 390
Masanori Fukushima was built with 6 stones from Iyoyu, transferred to Inaba Tottori with 11.1 stones, and was given the title of Captain Zaemon.

(The previous article said that there is a mistake in planning to arrange Ikoma-chan here. In this matter, Ikoma-chan is not enough to get merits of more than 6 koku. He belongs to the same level as Horio Yoshiharu and Nakamura Kazushi. It should be about [-] koku. .)
Sakuma Shengzheng was transferred from Noto to Kaga Kanazawa for 10.1 koku, and was awarded the position of from the top of the six ranks · Daizen Daishin.

Niwa Nagashige did not transfer the seal to Hebei County as Hideyoshi said at the beginning, but still retained Kaga Komatsu Castle, and granted 5000 shi, and Zhixing came to 6.3 shi.

As one of the main forces of Hidecho's Southern Kyushu Legion, Hosokawa Tadaoki was awarded part of 3000 shi from Tanba by Hideyoshi, because he had already been a servant as early as 1584, so Hideyoshi was not awarded another official position by Hideyoshi.

In fact, this is also the reason why the Hosokawa family has been criticized a lot in history. As a rule, this daimyo who followed Hideyoshi and participated in all the wars should not only be Andu who is capable of Tango, and he will be rewarded every time.

If one had to give a reason, it would be that Tadakashi Hosokawa was Mitsuhide Akechi's son-in-law.

After Akechi Mitsuhide's rebellion, he did not choose to draw a clear line with Mingzhi Yuzi, and even gave her asylum, which made the Hosokawa family naturally placed on the opposite side of the rule legitimacy by Hideyoshi.

As the most important gate in Kyoto, Echizen had to be guarded by someone. After Toyotomi Hidecho was transferred to Mino Gifu, Hideyoshi moved Hashiba Hideji to Kitanosho and asked him to guard the gate in the north of Kyoto.

Hideyoshi originally said that he would not give Hashiba Hideji any titles. After all, he and Xianshi Xiujiu, who lost his teacher and humiliated the country, did not get along very well, but after all, he was his own nephew, and his heart softened in the end.

Hideyoshi wrote in the letter of reward that he knew his mistakes and could correct them, and made new contributions. Hideyoshi transferred 28 shi of Echizen North's Zhuangcheng from Kii Wakayama to Echizen North's prefectures.

Because Hideji failed to live up to expectations, Hideyoshi arranged 6 people in the entire Echizen. One was Tsuruga 2 stones and was given to Otani Yoshitsugu.

The other is Hori Hidemasa, who was sealed in Kaga Daishoji Castle at 16 koku. His territory includes the entire territory of Kaga Enuma County, Nomi, and Ishikawa 13 koku, and Echizen Sakata County 3 koku.

There is also Takikawa Ichiki, the son of Takikawa Kazuyoshi, who was entrusted with 3 koku in Ono Castle, Echizen Ono County.

And Sasa Katsuyuki of 2 koku in Katsuyamakan, Ono County, he is the fourth son of Sakuma Katsuyuki and the younger brother of Sakuma Katsumasa. He was adopted early to Sasaka Narumasa and became his son-in-law and adopted son.

After the Shibata Katsuya's defeat, Sasaka Naruma saw that the situation was not good and wanted to get rid of the relationship with the Shibata family, because Sakuma Katsumasa was the adopted son and heir of the Shibata Katsuya at that time, so he ordered his son-in-law and daughter to divorce.

Unexpectedly, the mountain became too fast, Hideyoshi forgave the three brothers Sakuma Shengmasa, and gave 5 stones to Zhixing.Sasa Naruma, who had no son himself, had no choice but to invite Katsuyuki back. In the end, he was forced to retire after being defeated, and Sakuma Katsuyuki inherited the 2 stone collar of Katsuyamakan.

Regardless of the remoteness of Ono County in Echizen, after Kazuyoshi Takikawa and Narumasa Sasaki were stuffed in, it felt like an old county.

In addition to Otani Yoshitsugu, Hori Hidemasa, Takikawa Ichiki, Sasao Katsuyuki, and Hashiba Hideji, Hideyoshi also arranged 6 stone for Horio Yoshiharu in Echizen Fuchu.

This is also the reason why Hashiba Hideji did not live up to his expectations, as long as he lives up to his expectations, Hideyoshi can use Kyushu's military exploits to reward him with the Echizen Kingdom.

At this time, Echizen is not the Echizen after Jianyue, but the Echizen that has been developed by Hidecho for 3 years. Zhixing has grown from 45 koku to 54 koku. It is the largest neighboring country in Hokuriku.

After dismantling Echizen into 6 parts for rewards, Hideyoshi still has 10 shi Echizen land in his hands. These lands were directly hidden by Hideyoshi. In the view of Hideyoshi, this is clearly the territory reserved for Hashiba Hideji. It is possible to find an opportunity to reward him in the next few years.

Asano Nagamasa was also awarded the title. Hideyoshi combined the records of the Battle of Kyushu and the evaluation of Higo Ichikui, and sealed the original Miyoshi Hideho's territory to him, making him own Awa and Tosaichi. A total of 18 shi .

Moreover, Asano Nagamasa was also officially given the post of Awa Mori, the fifth servant, which was regarded as the official end of his rule over Awa.

After Asano Nagamasa, Ikoma announced two special candidates, namely Yoshikawa Motocho, who was allocated 13 koku in Tosaoka Toyojo, and Anguoji Huiqiong, who was assigned 5 koku to Iyo Uwajima.

It wasn't until the names of the two people were reported that everyone discovered that the two Maori retainers also attended the evaluation.

You must know that this is the evaluation of Hideyoshi's award to the daimyo, and the two accompanying ministers were not eligible to attend.

People around the two felt a little strange when they first saw them, but they didn't ask in detail. After all, in their eyes, super bosses have some privileges.

It's like Ukita Kanya, who was granted the title of 11 koku by Hoki, also attended the appraisal, but he was sitting at the end, which is even further back than many 1 koku daimyos.

But when the two were called by name and came out to accept Hideyoshi's reward, everyone realized why Hideyoshi used the term "enjoyment" in his previous arrangements for Mori Terumoto.

At this point, the award is roughly over, and others such as Tomita Kazuhaku, Shinjo Naoyori, Masuda Nagakatsu and others will not repeat them here.

In particular, in this award, the Ishida Sanjo was awarded 4 koku to Omi Shuiguchi Castle, and was awarded to Sawa Yamashiro Castle in advance.

In fact, even in history, Ishida Mitsunari had never been named Sawa Yamashiro, he had always been Sawa Yamashiro, and most of his territory at that time was in the west of Mino near Sekigahara.

This is also the reason why Ishida Mitsunari chose Sekigahara for the final battle, because not far from here is his territory, and he is very familiar with every plant and tree in this area.

Hideyoshi let him take charge of Sawa Yamashiro in the first place, so that he could become his last line of defense against the enemy from the east.

Therefore, the plan to deal with the Eastern Land has been rehearsed countless times in his heart, and he is confident that he will never lose against Tokugawa Ieyasu.

It's a pity that he did win tactically, but he fell short in the strategy of grasping people's hearts.

At this point, Hideyoshi's originally planned award was officially over. Just as everyone was about to wait for the conclusion of the attack, Hideyoshi asked again, "Is Sanzaemon Ikeda here?"

Hideyoshi called Ikeda Teruma's name, and he owned 15 koku of Isetsu Castle at this time. Although he also participated in the Kyushu War, he did not receive the title of Zhixing.

"Kai, my servant is here" Hearing Hideyoshi call his name, Ikeda Teruma came out to salute Hideyoshi.

Hideyoshi glanced at Ikeda Teruma, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Servant Oda refused to transfer Osumi from Ise, so Osumi's territory is free. I want to transfer you there now, and you should not refuse me." Bar?"

"Huh?" Ikeda Teruma thought that he would not receive any additional titles this time, but Hideyoshi thought of himself at the end.

Osumi Kingdom in Kyushu is also a middle-level leading country with 17.7 shi. Compared with Ise, it has been granted a higher title, but the development here is definitely not as good as Ise, and there is still a big gap in the cultural atmosphere.

At this time, we have to think about whether the difference of 4.7 koku is worthy of such a long transfer (Ikeda Teruma was awarded 13 koku of Isetsu City).

If the Xiu family is allowed to choose, since they know that Kyushu will become the main source of troops when the future conquers North Korea, the Xiu family will refuse as much as possible.

But Terumasa Ikeda didn't know. In his opinion, Ise National University, no matter how he increases his title, it is impossible to become the existence in charge of Ise.

But Osumi is different. If he is transferred to Osumi, he will be the lord of Osumi, a truly unique existence.

Not to mention that this was a seal of 4.7 shi all at once, which almost sealed half of my original knowledge and practice!How not to be heartbroken.

In addition, there is Oda Nobuo Zhuyu in front, and now Hideyoshi is going to transfer him to the past, and he has no possibility of refusing, so he accepted it and expressed his gratitude to Hideyoshi.

After getting Ikeda Teruma's affirmative answer, Hideyoshi nodded to him and said, "In this case, you can transfer the Osumi Kingdom sub-city from Isetsu Castle, and the whole Osumi Kingdom will belong to you.

At the same time, I will submit a request to the Holy Inquisition for you to help you get the official position of Mamoru Osumi.I also hope that you will continue to serve me in the Osumi country in the future. "

After receiving the title, Teruma Ikeda expressed his gratitude to Hideyoshi, and said that even if he went to a distant country in the future, he would still worship gods and Buddhas every day to keep Hideyoshi in good health.

Hideyoshi was very comfortable with this flattery, and he was rewarded with a set of exquisite contemporary accessories.

Hideyoshi still sighed above the main hall that he and Ikeda Hengxing were as close as brothers, and the two jointly supported the Oda family in times of crisis.

Later, I looked at Teru Masa Ikeda, who carried the banner of the Ikeda family alone. Perhaps Hideyoshi felt guilty, and adopted him as an adopted son in front of everyone, and gave him the surname Hashiba Nae and Toyotomi.

Hideyoshi originally planned to bestow the surname Hashibanae or Toyotomi on the opening banquet of Juledi next month, including Hashiba Hideo.

Unexpectedly, being flattered by Ikeda Teruma made Ikeda Teruma the fourth daimyo in the world to accept Toyotomi's surname, ahead of Hashiba Hideji.

Of course, although Hideyoshi bestowed Ikeda Teruma Toyotomi's real surname, he did not allow him to directly name himself after Toyotomi like Hideyoshi, which is equivalent to recognizing a branch.

Now that the beginning has been started, Hideyoshi no longer hides it, and bestows Mori Terumoto, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Maeda Toshiie, Hachisuka Masakatsu, Asano Nagamasa, Kobayakawa Takakage, Otomo Sorin, and Ogasawara in front of everyone. Xiuzhen and others all received the Miao character of Yuchai and the surname of Fengchen from him.

Give Hashiba Hideji his own surname Toyotomi, and allow him to sign directly with Toyotomi like the story of the Hide family in the future.His younger brother Hashiba Hidekatsu was also given the surname of Toyotomi, but he did not receive a license to sign directly with Toyotomi.

In addition, Muneshige Tachibana, Tosou Harada, Yoshihiro Shimadzu, Toshihisa Shimadzu, Kiyomasa Kato, Masanori Fukushima, Hidemasa Hori, Moromasa Sakuma, Masaru Ryuzoji, Ujigo Gama, Takataka Kuroda , Hachisuka Jiazheng, Ikeda Terumasa, Yoshikawa Motocho and others were bestowed with the character Hashiba Miao.

In other words, Hideyoshi basically bestowed more than 20 shi of his name on Nae Hashiba and Toyotomi's real surname, with the exception of Nagamasa Asano and Hidetada Ogasawara, who had a relatively close relationship with Hideyoshi.

Although Yoshihiro Shimadzu's knowledge reached 28.6 shi, he had just surrendered after all, and he belonged to a hostile force in the past. It is already a favor to be awarded the title of Yuchai Miao this time.

But everyone believed that in the near future, the Shimadzu family would definitely get the possibility of Toyotomi's real surname bestowed by Hideyoshi.

And other daimyos whose knowledge exceeds 10 koku, or those who are close to 10 koku, have all been bestowed with Hideyoshi Hashiba's character.

In addition to the above-mentioned people, there are a few more special ones, Naoshima Naoshige, Ukita Kanke, Anguoji Huiqiong, Kinoshita Isada and others were also awarded the Miao character of Hashiba.

Naoshima Naoshige and Ukita Kan's family belonged to the vassals, and Anguoji Huiqiong was a daimyo who had just become independent with only 5 shi.

The Kinoshita family was originally named Sugihara, who also came from Owari Asahi Village. He is Ning Ning's biological brother (Asano Nagamasa is just a cousin). All changed to Kinoshita.

But his ability is actually very average, that is, relying on this level of in-law relationship, he was awarded 1.3 shi of Himeji Castle in this award.

Hideyoshi wanted to give him both Hashiba Miao and Toyotomi's real surname at once, but his knowledge and practice were too little, and it would be a bit shabby to give it up, so he gave him Hashiba's real surname.

But in order to show compensation, when Hideyoshi awarded the reward, he was given an official position from the fifth master Higo.

Think about it, the great lord with 10,000+ shi is still holding the official position of six or six, and a person who has only 1 shi and has just reached the daimyo rank actually has the official rank of Shangguo Shou. This is why my sister married well The result.

When Hideka was trying to win over Ningning, he did consider getting Kinoshita Kasada, but compared with Nagakatsu Asano's B ability, Hideka couldn't do it, so he could only choose to give up.

Fortunately, Ning Ning knew her own brother's abilities, and was not dissatisfied because the Xiu family failed to pull him.

When supporting the Kinoshita family, the Xiu family even felt that the records of the Kinoshita family and Ningning had been beautified in the historical records.Otherwise, there are so many differences in the education received by the two who are also samurai and cousins.

You must know that at that time, Asano Nagamasa himself was also Shigetsu Yasui's son, and because Asano Nagamasa's son died, he joined the Asano family as his adopted son-in-law.

And Asano Nagagan is also the head of the Ashigaru group in the Oda family, how good education can Asano Nagamasa give?

Perhaps the so-called Sugihara Katoshi is not a samurai at all, and it may not be just an ashigaru under the command of the Asano family. It is best to be a local samurai.

After the so-called famous family, it may be because of Ning Ning's background and the reason for her hard climbing.
