Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 524 Rikami Chongxing and Ben Duo Repeatedly

After half a day's discussion, looking at the administrative strategy that was completely different from his original plan, Xiujia rubbed his temples wearily and said in pain, "Let's settle the Kanto matter for now.

Now that I am in Shimono Utsunomiya, the specific matters of the Kanto government should be discussed after the transfer of the seal is decided, and then after returning to Yanfu. "

The following people are very clear that the issue of tax reform is the biggest issue of the Yuxi family at this stage, and the Xiu family has already been troubled by this matter.

However, the Xiu family still had to shoulder the affairs of the Northeast Badminton Olympics, so they didn't want to disturb the Xiu family here, and bid farewell to the Xiu family one after another.

Not long after everyone left, someone came to the Xiu family again, but it was the third prime minister of Zhe Zhi who had been sent by the Xiu family to the general manager.

Beside him was a young man in the same grade as the Xiu family, who bowed humblely to the Xiu family with a hint of fear.

Zhezhi Sanzhicheng replied quietly from the side, "My lord, Master Chuntai from the Rijian family brought it here."

Juntai is actually the legitimate son of Yoshihiro Satomi, Ume Omaru (Yoshige), the young governor of the Satomi family before.

Obviously sitting on the headquarter with nearly 15 shi collars, but he was succeeded by his uncle Li Jianyi who only owned 5 shi in Anfang.

Satomi Yoshiyori also shamelessly admits that his deceased brother Satomi Yoshihiro is the adoptive father, and he inherits the status of the Satomi Family Governor as the eldest son.

Afterwards, Meiwangmaru was forced to accept the arrangement of becoming a monk, and he called himself Juntai. He began to live in the holy mountain on the outskirts of Okamoto Castle, and later became the abbot of Quankein (now Tateyama City).

In history, Ume Omaru passed away shortly after the Satomi family was changed. Among them, if there is no operation of the Satomi family, I don’t believe a word.

And the last time the Xiu family went to Shangzong was to hold this card in their hands after the Satomi family was changed.

At the beginning, he went to her because he wanted him to help him master Shangzong, but now he didn't expect that Hideyoshi granted Hori Hidemasa a large area of ​​Shangzong's territory.

Xiujia looked at Chuntai who was kneeling on the ground, and said to him, "You know everything about Lijianjia, right?"

Here is a little bit to supplement the previous plot, and talk about the ending of Li Jianjia.

Toyotomi Hideji has never been a good-tempered person. With Hideyoshi's permission and under the humiliation of the Bixiu family (at least he thought it was a humiliation), the battle ruthlessly persecuted the Satomi family .

Satomi’s family governor, Rami Yoshiyasu, and his adult younger brothers Masaki Tokimo and Satomi Yoshitaka were all ordered to undergo seppuku. The other children who were historically named Satomi Yasutoshi, Masaki Yoshidan, and Masaki Tadakatsu were all exiled. civilian.

Satomi Yoshihiro's brothers Jian (recommended in traditional characters) Nora Toshi, Masaki Yoritada, son-in-law Masaki Raifa, and others were also convicted for this, and they were exonerated from Zhixing and wandered on their own.

When Toyotomi Hideji made such a punishment at the beginning, many people around him advised him that the punishment was too severe, and it was enough to just see Yoshiyasu in the punishment. You have already involved his brother, and now you have to involve his retainers. Take care of the unexpected.

However, Toyotomi Hideji said, "My uncle clearly stated that everything refers to the old events of Hojo. The Hojo family voluntarily opened the city and surrendered. It is still the Hojo clan who cut through seppuku, and all the other families and retainers were exiled.

Now that Kururi Castle was captured by me, and the Satomi family resisted and refused to surrender, shouldn't they be dealt with more severely?As for the retainers, didn't I deal with them in accordance with Hojo's rules? "

His reasoning made the others speechless, but they still couldn't accept it in their hearts.

Hideyoshi is Kanbaro, so there is a reason to break the rules and deal with the Hojo family, but who are you Toyotomi Hideji?It's just the commander of one side, the daimyo of Echizen, what right does he have to break the rules?
In Toyotomi Hideji's view, the rare victory over the Satomi family was the time to establish his authority, and his sacrifice was the heads of the Satomi family's relatives, so he was naturally unwilling to give in a step.

When the story of Satomi's family reached Hideyoshi, even Hideyoshi didn't comment too much on Hideyoshi. As for what the uncle and nephew said in private, outsiders don't know.

But no matter what, Hideyoshi's tacit attitude towards Hideyoshi's handling of Rijianjia can be regarded as an endorsement for Hideji, and even though there were still people talking in private, everyone on the stage acquiesced in the rationality of his handling.

Satomi Yoshishige, who has become a monk, replied calmly about the death of the Satomi family: "I have heard what you said."

Xiujia asked, "Do you have any opinion?"

I don't know if it's because the uncle and son who took away the position of his family governor at the beginning, or maybe it's because his sister and mother died at the hands of Satomi Yoshirai, Chuntai still can't see a trace of it on the surface Sad, said lightly: "This is the fate of the Wu family, but I have already become a monk, but I don't care about these things anymore."

"Then what if I let you return to the Wu family?" Xiu Jiajian couldn't see his emotions, frowned and continued to ask, "I asked you to return to the Wu family to become the governor of the Satomi family, how would you face these things?"

Hearing the news of being able to return to the Wu family, Chuntai's eyelids twitched involuntarily, and he raised his head slightly to look at the Xiu family.

But maybe it was because he was afraid that the excitement in his heart would be discovered by the Xiu family, and maybe it was true that he had already become a monk and should not be involved in worldly affairs, so he felt a little guilty in his heart.

Chuntai slowly lowered his head and recited the Buddha's name again, and finally said to the Xiu family, "I have become a monk, and the worldly affairs have nothing to do with me. Even if one day the name of the Wu family is restored, I will only be loyal to the Lord in my heart, not Confused by the past."

He was only 10 years old when he was forced to become a monk, and his xinxing had not yet matured.

Now he is in the 20th grade, and I have to say that Yoshishige Satomi has not read the books in the past ten years in vain.

"That's it." Xiujia patted his thigh to relax his tense muscles and stood up, and said to Juntai who was still kneeling in front of him, "From tomorrow onwards, you will resume the surname of Satomi and Taro." Generally speaking, I will give you the word family, and from tomorrow onwards you will be called Li Jianyi's family."

"I will give you 5000 stones in Miura County, Sagami Country, as your place of knowledge and practice, so that you will be closer to your hometown.

You can take over all your uncles and younger brothers. Although they are not as good as the old collars at the time, it is safe to settle down with a family. "

It would be a lie for the Satomi family to say that they have no intention of restoring the country. After all, the Satomi family is a powerful family in the Kanto region, and even if they became a monk, they would not be willing to be destroyed.

After all, even monks, their power and authority outside the world in the temple still depend on the prosperity of their relatives in the world.

So when he heard that he became the governor of the Satomi family again and obtained 5000 shi Zhixing, the energy-raising skills of the Satomi Yoshi family finally broke, and he thanked the Xiu family tremblingly with a trace of excitement, "Thank you, my lord, for your kindness."

There is a shortage of people around me right now, why don't you stay by my side as an attendant for a while, I will give you a feudal mansion under Iwafu Castle, as for the feudal formation in Miura County, you are still allowed to build it.

Regarding the Xiu family's proposal, he was silent for a few seconds, but he still quickly said "yes" to the Xiu family.

The Xiu family saw a clue from his silence, so they said to him, "I know what you are worried about, and your cousins ​​will study with you in Yanfu City, and your uncles will take care of you. To manage the territory."

This time, his response was obviously much quicker. It seemed that the arrangement of the Xiu family just now had indeed been arranged in his heart.

The arrival of Yoshika Satomi was within Hideya’s plan, but now that the external environment has changed, Yoshika Satomi is no longer suitable to be assigned to the general office. in 1570), so the Xiu family planned to train him in the entourage.

As the Xiu family's order was issued to the three elders and their retainers, some disturbances were unsurprisingly caused.

The knowledge and practice of 2000 shi is only the banner class of the body, and the right to speak in Yuxiduo is not big. In addition, there was a policy of receiving Shilu with 1500 shi before.

Now it was only raised to 2000 shi, so it didn't cause too many disturbances among Yuxi's old ministers.

But on the side of the Guandong old ministers, there were quite a few criticisms, and even some Xiu family didn't really accept what they said.

After all, most of the former Kanto ministers were deprived of their abilities because of Hideyoshi's change, and when they were hired by Hideyoshi again, they all just surpassed Qianshi.

It's a pity that no matter what they are talking about below, the Xiu family will not change the policy, and even the standard of 2000 shi is still too little in his opinion.

------------

Hideka stayed in Utsunomiya Castle until the end of May. Seeing that the situation in his territory gradually stabilized, he brought his entourage and Hatakemoto people with him. Nearly 5 people followed Satake Yoshinobu's 1000 people and went north to Koriyama. The museum stopped.

Here, the Hide family met Honda Ogasawara Hidetada's important minister who stayed here. He was the elder of Ogasawara Hidetada's family who was given to Ogasawara Hideyoshi by Tokugawa Ieyasu when Hideyoshi established Shinano.

He is not only the follower of the Tokugawa family, but also a brave general in battle. Even if he looks at the world, he is still a wise and brave samurai.

However, he was born in the 2nd year of Xianglu (1529), but he is now 60 years old. Historically, he died in 1596, and now he can clearly see his fatigue from his appearance.

When "General Toyotomi You" saw the Xiu family coming, he saluted the Xiu family several times to express his respect, and then said, "The lord has told me before that His Royal Highness will come from the northeast of the Kanto, so that I can entertain you. I am already in the city." Prepared meals, please don't despise the simplicity."

"Where is this place, it is already an honor for me to be entertained outside the collar."

The Koriyama Castle here is not the location that Hideka planned for Ogasawara Hideyoshi, but the old Koriyama Castle on the west side.

(See previous map for details)

Koriyama Castle here was originally a branch of Sukagawa Castle, the Nikaido family, so the defense and size of the castle were not perfect.

However, since Hideyoshi Ogasawara chose Koriyama as her home city, she left Honda here many times when Shuai Jun went north, and asked him to start the sword hunting and land inspection in the territory on her behalf.

There is no rush to build the city. You have to wait until you figure out the population and economic strength of the territory before starting, right?
As for Hideyoshi Ogasawara, the only person who can really say that he is proficient in this way is Honda Dudu, one of the three Tokugawa disciplines.

Seeing that Hideka was looking towards the Abukuma River on the east side, Honda also looked towards the east several times and said, "Your Highness really chose a good place for my lord.
As the saying goes, it is close to the mountains and rivers, sitting on the streets of Mutsu, while taking care of the left and right.It is indeed the most suitable place to build a castle here in Iwashiro.

It’s just that this is flat land, and if we want to build a city on flat land, His Highness has created a big problem for our family.”

"Sakuzaemon-sama" Hideka called out Honda's multiple nicknames, and said to him, "You should also see the potential of Iwashiro."

After finishing speaking, Xiujia looked to the left and right and continued, "Don't talk about Jiaxin, even Junyuansan doesn't have such a large plain. If Iwashiro develops well, such a large territory is not too much for Yuanjiang and Sanhe, right?"

Honda nodded several times to express his approval of Hideka's speculation, but shook his head again and said, "His Highness was almost led astray, this is Iwashiro, but it doesn't have the climate and manpower of the East China Sea.

Rice seeds are ripe once a year is already a gift, and when the people's power is exhausted, it is already a godsend to have 30 people. "

It has to be said that Honda deserves the title of Tokugawa Sanbuki many times, and it is only a rough review of Iwashiro. The actual situation of the formation Iwashiro is probably not much different.

After Iwadai seized the land in Taiko, he did find out the Zhixing collar of 31 shi. Until around Sekigahara, the Zhixing of this territory was only about 35 shi, and the climate and population growth restricted its development.

"Isn't 30 stones greater than the knowledge and practice of Matsuzaka attendant in Shinano?"

"Besides, the commerce and trade of the land in Shinano is not as good as here. The streets of Mutsu pass through the city. This is an important area connecting the north and the south."

Listening to Xiujia's explanation, Ben Duo smiled and said to Xiujia, "This is how Your Highness persuaded my lord to be tempted."

How can the Xiu family prove that although they persuaded Ogasawara Xiuzhen, he rejected me at the beginning?
Heaven and earth conscience!

It is true that Hideyoshi Ogasawara told Hideyoshi privately about the transfer to Iwayo!

Hearing the meaning of Ben Duo's words, Xiujia frowned and asked him: "Master Honda seems to have some complaints about Zhuanfeng Yandai?"

"I'm from the south, and I'm not used to the severe cold in the north~" Facing Xiu's question, Honda replied with a sigh. "But as a vassal, you should put your lord's interests first."

After speaking, he made a gesture of invitation and invited Xiujia to the city.

Listening to Ben Duo's answer, Xiujia still kept a smile on his face, but his heart was turbulent, because he heard the meaning of complaint from Ben Duo's tone.

It’s only June now, even in Ezo it’s summer, how many times has Honda experienced the coldness of the northern country?

And when Sanhe said it was a southern country, when he didn't experience heavy snowfall a few times in a year, he was about to say that the Hideka family would not believe it if they hadn't experienced the cold winter, and you are not the Shimadzu family in Kyushu.

In Hideka's view, the warmth and coldness here in Honda does not refer to the ambient weather, but the human environment.

That is to say, a group of old Tokugawa ministers headed by Honda don't quite understand the transfer from Shinano.

Even though Honda has admitted it many times, there is indeed more potential for development here than Matsuzaka, but Matsuzaka is closer to Tokugawa's skill!

They are all old ministers of Tokugawa, even though Ieyasu Tokugawa arranged for Hidetada Ogasawara to be his retainers, in their view, it was just Lao Tzu paving the way for his son.

The two sides are still next to each other, and when I grow up, I am still under the wing of the Tokugawa family.

But now Ogasawara Hidetada has been transferred to Iwadai, separated from the Tokugawa family by Utsunomiya, Satake and Hideka, plus it is an inland country that does not rely on the sea, so it can be said that it is completely separated from Tokugawa.

The cold in this multiple discourse refers more to the remote distance from Tokugawa Ieyasu and the chilling~
Hideyoshi who thought of this took a deep breath and took a breath for a moment, and couldn't help feeling refreshed in his heart. Ogasawara Hidetada finally made a request to Hideyoshi to turn his eyes back, and only then did this group of old Tokugawa ministers be rooted out of Shinano.

If Ogasawara Hidetada continued to stay in Shinano Matsuzaka, if there was a conflict between the Hide family and the Tokugawa one day, then the Ogasawara family, which was used to help them, might not be able to do anything because of the coercion of their retainers.

It is even possible to directly become a vassal of Tokugawa, as in history, and send troops together with Tokugawa Ieyasu.

After all, although Xiuzhen is the governor of the family, she was promoted by this group of people!
When Xiuzhen came back, I really should have a good chat with him again.

Maybe when Xiuzhen proposed to Hideyoshi to transfer Iwadai to Hideyoshi, it was because she saw the weakness of her rule over the Shinano territory.

After all, there are these old Tokugawa ministers who play an important role in the company, and Tokugawa Ieyasu exerts political influence everywhere in his own policies. It is impossible for Xiuzhen to fail to detect it with her political acumen.

And this group of people was given to him by his father Tokugawa Ieyasu, Xiuzhen couldn't deal with them publicly, it would be bad for his reputation.

He can't alienate them directly, after all, Tokugawa Ieyasu is secretly controlling Matsuzaka's old leaders through them, and Xiuzhen's small gestures of alienation cannot escape his eyeliner at all, and even a slight movement, his orders may not be able to reach all the people under Matsuzaka. sub-county.

To put it bluntly, it is very likely that Xiuzhen has already tried.

But he probably found that when his orders were actually implemented in the field, they were secretly replaced by the Tokugawa family's laws by these people. The 10 shi of Shinano under his command seemed to have become a Tokugawa subordinate country.

Even his orders may not be able to leave Matsuzaka Castle, which gave him the idea of ​​​​avoiding the influence of Tokugawa Ieyasu.
