Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 515 The battle has already been heard and the armor has been removed for the first time, but Yunyu is happy to have a baby. (The eldest son "Xiao Hachiro" was born)
The Xiu family finished dealing with the entrustment matter that night, the night was already dark, and the Xiu family stayed up late to sleep again.

The Hide family originally wanted to start the entrustment and housekeeping arrangements early the next morning, but it was not long after they lay down that they realized that Hideyoshi was still in Utsunomiya Castle.

As a daimyo within Toyotomi's system, it is really inappropriate to summon many retainers under his command without special circumstances, so Xiujia summoned his attendants before going to bed, and asked them to notify the retainers that tomorrow's assessment will be cancelled.

Hideyoshi stayed in Utsunomiya on the 5th, the main purpose is to deal with the appeals of the Kanto and Yuo daimyos, especially the daimyos like Hideo and Tokugawa Ieyasu who need to supervise the situation of Kanto and Yuo, all need to hold meetings under his control .

That is, during this period of time, several daimyos from Tohoku who did not arrive in time saw that Hideyoshi was taking office in Utsunomiya, so they rushed over.

Among them was Osaki Yoshitaka, who met Hideyoshi under the guidance of Ishida Mitsunari, and prayed that he could keep his family name.

However, Hideyoshi reduced his possessions to more than 4 stones from Rikuzen Kyuzo and Kami counties on the grounds that he did not arrive in Odawara as scheduled.You must know that before this, the Osaki family had a daimyo with more than 10 stone collars, and it was an existence that could wrestle with Date Masamune.

After waiting for such a long time, Ishikawa Akimitsu, Esashi Shigetsuna, Kasai Harunobu, Waga Yoshitada, Hirota Hikanaka (Family Law·Shigetsuna) and others came to bow down to Hideyoshi, and Hideyoshi's patience has reached the limit.

Hideyoshi originally wanted to deal with Yu Oshiki's matter relatively peacefully. Even if you arrived a little later, I will only greatly reduce your knowledge and practice, and I will still keep your family name to show my benevolence of Guan Bai.

But after waiting in Utsunomiya for so long, three or two small fishes came, and most of them didn't have more than [-] knowledge and actions. Hideyoshi didn't even bother to look at it, so he changed it directly.

The only larger daimyo is Osaki Yoshitaka, and Zhixing has been directly reduced by 2/3, becoming a small force in the central part of Mutsu, and will never regain the glory of Oshu's exploration of the past.

Finally, after Tokugawa Ieyasu and others returned to their skills first, Hideyoshi couldn't wait any longer. He recruited good friends such as Toyotomi Hideka, Ogasawara Hidetada, Gamo Ujigo, Nakagawa Kiyohide, etc., together with Iwaki Ritaka, Soma Yoshin, Masamune Date, Yoshimitsu Mogami, Nobunao Nambu, Miki Ando and other newly surrendered Uo Daimyo held a meeting in Utsunomiya.

Even Utsunomiya Kunizuna, Satake Yoshinobu, Yuuki Haruto and other big names from the northern Kanto region attended the meeting. The main body of the meeting was "Fuck him!"

Mitsunari Ishida, who is Hideyoshi's mouthpiece, sat beside Hideyoshi and said to the daimyos instead of Hideyoshi, "For the daimyos who have not yet surrendered in the Uo area, His Highness Kanbai has decided not to pardon them, including Kawa Akimitsu, Esashi Shigehiro, and Kasai Harunobu. , He Yizhong, Barn Guan Guangzhong and others.

In order to stabilize the territory of Yuao area as soon as possible and deal with those disobedients, all daimyos are required to form the Yuaoshiji Legion to attack the above-mentioned rebels who resist disobedience and force them to accept the court's disposal.

Yu Oshi set up the right general of the army, Yoshitoyotomi, as the general general, and commanded in the middle of Utsunomiya Castle.

Attendants Gamo and attendants Yuchai (Xiaozhen Ogasawara) are the deputy generals, responsible for the disposal of Luqian and Luzhong, Deyu and Lubei respectively.

Gamo's entourage is accompanied by Dr. Date Ukyo as the vanguard, and Lord Soma Yoshinon, Lord Iwaki Ritaka, Utsunomiya Shimono Mori and His Highness Satake Hitachi as the guest army, with a total force of 1.3 to handle affairs in front of and in the middle of the land.

Hashiba's servants are assigned Nanbu Ozen and Mogami Ukyo as the left and right vanguards, and deal with the rebellion in Deba and Mutsu North respectively.

Order Nakagawa Kiyohide, Oura Weixin, Ando Shishi, Uesugi Daihoji Yoshikatsu, Onodera Yoshimichi, Tozawa Yasama and others to listen, with a total force of 8000.

The daimyos belonging to the two armies returned to their own strengths to assemble their forces after receiving the order. They should gather in Sendai on May 18, 1590, and complete the appointment of Yuao area by the end of July. "

Judging from this arrangement, although Xiujia has the title of general, his job is still to deal with the Kanto skills and monitor Yuao daimyo.

Hideyoshi was also afraid that there would be problems in Kanto after he left, so he didn't allow Hideyoshi to take the lead in person.

Hideya knew very well that Hideyoshi differentiated the daimyos in the Kanto and Uo areas, and such daimyos as Gamo, Ogasawara, and Nakagawa were definitely close to daimyos.

Because Iwaki is the son of the Maeda family, he can barely be counted as half of them. In addition, Yuki, Soma and other small feudal clans are objects that can be trusted because of the existence of Hideya, Ogasawara and other daimyos.

Local daimyos such as Utsunomiya, Mogami, Date, and Satake need to be wary.

Coupled with the fact that Kamo clango, as an early daimyo who joined him, is unique in terms of politics and military power, in Hideyoshi's view, he is the only one who can look after Date Masamune and Satake Yoshinobu for him.

Satake and Date didn't deal with each other at all, and with Kamo's ability, it's not a matter of hand to make use of their relationship.

Compared with Gamo's township, Hideyoshi Ogasawara is a bit immature. Hide's family was given to Nanbu and Mogami, and Miki Anton and Kiyohide Nakagawa were assigned to him as subordinates. It is a small wealthy family in Lubei.

The small wealthy family who used 1 soldiers to beat thousands of stones essentially hoped that Hideyoshi Ogasawara would be gilded.

Shortly after the order was issued, in the words of Ogasawara Hidetada, "I can't even think about going to Mutsu this time."

Fortunately, their mission is to cooperate with Ishida Mitsunari Otani Kichitsugu to complete the official mission of the Mutsu and Dewa areas, to collect and change the daimyo who did not come this time, and to be responsible for the inspection of the land.

To put it bluntly, they went on an armed parade to force the unsubdued daimyo Shangluo by force, leaving some soldiers and deputy officials to help Ishida Mitsunari and the others handle the affairs of the territory, and then they can return to their skills and prepare to transfer the title.

A daimyo like Kamojigo who is located in Kyushu ended his official position in July, and returned to Kyushu at least by the end of September.

He could only divide his troops into two and conduct compilation and inspection in Utsunomiya on the spot.

For those who are willing to transfer the title to Aizu with him, they will be selected first to go to Aizu to receive the territory, and the rest will be incorporated into the Shizhi Army and go to Mutsu with him.

The three daimyos, Aizu and Iwashiro, had assembled themselves and their troops in Utsunomiya, so they did not wait for the follow-up troops to arrive. After Utsunomiya reorganized the army, they went northward and entered Mutsu first.

These three daimyos need to use the half-month period when the army is assembled to get acquainted with the things of the new collar.

Date Masamune went back with them. After all, their territory is now under the control of Date Masamune, and they need the cooperation of Date Masamune to take over the city.

There are 1.3 people in the Gamo Township Legion, which is not a large number.

He himself brought 4500 people, left 1600 people to Aizu, and brought 3000 people to Mutsu.

Date Masamune, who is a pioneer and neighbor of Kasai Osaki, can't mobilize 5000 people to say it? , In this way, Satake Yoshinobu, Utsunomiya Kunizuna, Soma Yoshinori, and Iwaki Ritaka will share a total of 5000 troops.

The army of the four of them gathered under Utsunomiya Castle at this moment exceeds 4 people, but the majority of them are the army of the Satake family.

For example, Iwaki and Soma don’t have much knowledge and practice, and even if they supplement, they will not exceed 1000 people. The Utsunomiya family mobilized 1000, and their skills are in Shimono. The mobilization can be completed at any time, and the final 3000 difference will be made up by the Satake family.

As for Hideyoshi Ogasawara, he brought 2500 people himself, and Kiyohide Nakagawa 2000 people. It is not too much for the two to leave 1500 and 1000 people respectively in the new collar. This is 2500 people to join the battle.

It is not too much for Yoshimitsu Mogami to send out 2500 people as a pioneer, right?Nanbu Nobunao, as a neighboring daimyo, should have 1500 people, right?

Dabaoji Yoshikatsu, Onodera Yoshimichi, Andong Shiki Oura Weixin and other big names can't gather 1500 people?

The Xiu family will also take this opportunity to stuff 500 people into each of the two legions.These 1000 people are not there to help, but to review and supervise the various military forces to prepare for the selection of the 6500-member ranger.

Don't look at what they promised two days ago, go back and sort out a batch of military service certificates and hand them over to the Xiu family. After saying that they can't go back, they start to fool the Xiu family.

And now after the Aozhou official position is over, each family wants to take people back?I'm sorry, but you have to screen out the people who will be handed over first, and take the 500 people from the Xiu family and the army of the three Lunan families back to Iwashiro County for training directly, and don't give them any chance to make trouble.

After Hideyoshi arranged Yuao's affairs, he let all the big names disperse, leaving Hideyoshi alone.

After everyone cleared the venue, Hideyoshi called Hideo to come and sit down, and asked Ishida Sancheng to pour a cup of tea and said: "The matter between Kanto and Yuao is about to end, Xiaozhu sent a letter from Kyoto last night, and Xiaoju was in the middle of it." I gave birth to a baby a month ago, it's a male, waiting for you to go back."

"Boy?" Xiujia was very surprised to hear the news, and confirmed to Xiuji again, "Father, have you confirmed?"

Seeing Hideyoshi's unbelievable expression, Hideyoshi smiled and took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Hideyoshi, saying, "This is a letter written by Xiaozhu, and it is confirmed that it is indeed a male.

Hachiro, you have done a great job for my Toyotomi family!This is the first boy of the third generation of my Toyotomi family!Your eldest son! "

秀家现在不是没有孩子，长子辰千代在1588年10月早夭，次子旭千代出身于1588年3月，三子昭三郎出身于1588年11月。

However, Tatsuchiyo's mother is Naoko Kagawa, and Asahi Chiyo's mother is Date Anan, both are concubines of the Hide family, even though their status as sons is still relatively low.

In other words, Zhao Sanlang's mother is Qing Ji, the concubine wife of the Xiu family, but he is still a child of a concubine.

Under the premise that the third generation of the Toyotomi family is now in decline, the three sons of the Hideyoshi family are still valued by Hideyoshi even though they are concubines.

But concubines are concubines after all, so how can one who is born in the first place be valued?
No matter how old or young the concubine is, as long as the child is born from the first line, he has the right to inherit the Okayama Toyotomi family from the moment he is born. No, it should be called the Iwafu Toyotomi family or the Kanto Toyotomi family's legal inheritance right now.

Besides, after all, the Xiu family is only the adopted son of Hideyoshi, and has no blood relationship with Hideyoshi.

Hideyoshi was born as a country bumpkin. Although he respected the samurai family's rule of etiquette and inheritance over blood, he still hoped that people who flowed from a blood line similar to his would become the pillars of the world.

And Ju Ji is his niece!This boy's blood is similar to that of Toyotomi Hideyoshi!
No wonder Hideyoshi looked happier than Hideyoshi at the moment!
The moment he knew this child was born, Hideyoshi made up his mind to support him as the sole heir of the Hide family!
"Here is another letter, written by Xiaoju, and the courier delivered it to me directly." Hideyoshi said as he handed the letter to Hideka and continued, "I didn't open it, but I think it must be an intimate word between fathers. "

Seeing that Xiu's family wanted to open it on the spot, he stopped him and said, "You can read this letter freely after you get back. Come and tell me about this child first. This is your son, what name will you give him?"

"What's the name?" Hideyoshi replied in surprise when Hideyoshi asked himself this question, "Father, what are you talking about! This is the child of me and Xiaoju, and my eldest son, so naturally he wants to inherit the family. Its common name is 'Hachiro'."

Although the name "Hachiro~" is very rustic, Hideyoshi seems very satisfied, because the name "Hachiro" is like Takechiyo of the Tokugawa family, a name reserved for the heirs of the Uki family who want to come.

From this name, we can see the Xiu family's attitude towards this child.

"Yeah, it's called Hachiro." Hideka gave an affirmative answer here, and joked with Hideyoshi halfway, "It's just that you will suffer from father in the future, and how many people will be called to respond when you say 'Hachiro' in the future? "

"?!" Hideyoshi was stunned for a moment when he heard Hideka's joke, and then he understood the meaning, laughed loudly and said, "What's the matter, I still call you 'Hachiro', and call him 'Xiao Hachiro' soon. "

Xiujia was a little helpless about Hideyoshi's simple and rude naming method, why did he feel that this name seemed to be a curse.

At this moment, both of them were surrounded by the Hideo family's joy of getting the eldest son, and Hideyoshi seemed to have made up his mind to pave the way for his grandson.

He directly asked Xiujia, "Have you decided to give a piece of the knowledge of 'Xiao Hachiro'?"

"Knowledge and action?"

Hideka was not surprised, "Xiao Hachiro" was only half a month old, not to mention enlightened, maybe he hadn't even opened his eyes yet, isn't it too early for Hideyoshi to arrange Zhixing for him?

What's more, with the medical conditions of the Warring States Period in Japan, Tatsuchiyo of the Hide family died when he was less than one year old. It is unknown whether this "Little Hachiro" can survive to adulthood.

"Of course!" Hideyoshi saw that Hideka hadn't made a statement, his expression changed, and he said sullenly, "You gave the 8 koku of the Sagami country to the child of the Ashikaga family, and now you don't even know where the shadow of the child is. You gave it to Zhixing, you can’t treat one more favorably than another!”

Hearing Hideyoshi's reason, Hideyoshi was quite helpless.Wasn't it you who had to cut out 8 shi from your own knowledge and behavior as the son of the Ashikaga family?

Why is it that I favor one over another now?
However, Hideyoshi Mori was quite helpless when he said this, and Hideie said, "My main city is in Iwafujo Castle, Saitama Country. If that's the case, let's use the 10 koku of Musashi Country Edo and Shimosou Country Kokufu Daijo Castle as Inuko's knowledge."

Hearing Xiujia's arrangement, Hideyoshi jumped up and scolded Xiujia, "Who do you call a dog? I won't allow you to call my precious grandson like that again!"

However, I also agree with Xiujia's arrangement, "Musashi is indeed the core leader. It is a very good arrangement because it is adjacent to Edo Bay and has developed commerce and trade."

At the same time, I posted my gift for the birth of "Xiao Hachiro": "I remember that Xiaoju's cosmetics are 1 koku of Owari Kanie Castle and 3 koku of Owari Sakamoto Castle, right. In this case, I will add 5 koku of Omi Otsu and Kusatsu , as the nurturing material of 'Xiao Hachiro' as a congratulatory gift.

You have to build Edo Castle for Hachiro of our family. All the castles are built according to the name of more than 30 shi. Say that I licensed it, and Sakichi recorded it as proof. "

How about Hideyoshi being good to his relatives? Hachiro, the little kid, was already a daimyo of 15 koku just after he was born, and his treatment is based on the standard of a daimyo of more than 30 koku. This is how much other people have struggled. Achievements that are not necessarily achieved in years.

"Also, you have to treat our Xiaoju well in the future, she is the woman who gave birth to your eldest son." In the end, it may be that You felt that it was not enough, so he said cruelly to the Xiu family:
"I know you have married two equal wives recently, but don't let me dance too much. If I hear Xiaoju cry to me that you are not good for it! Humph ~ you know what I will do!"
