Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 540 Don't care about yourself, don't mind meddling.

When Xiujia asked about the situation of the Yabusame team, Xiuzhen didn't seem to care, and replied with an indifferent attitude:
"The Yabusame team is not easy to train. These samurai are all samurai who have been trained since they were young, so they can complete riding and shooting on horses. When the Chibei team was formed, all the famous samurai of Konobu were taken by Tokugawa temple. .”

Having said that, he paused for a moment, looked up at Xiujia and continued with a teasing tone, "In the end, they were all made of soil in the battle of Kuang, and I don't know whose masterpiece it is."

"After the failure of the Nooo battle, Yasushi Sakakibara reorganized Akabi, and the samurai in the Noryu area in the Koshin area had long been extinct, so they naturally turned their attention to the overall samurai family of our Ogasawara family.

I heard from my father that half of the Yabusame team of our Ogasawara family was about to leave that year, with more than 70 members. These warriors and their families directly became the banner of the Tokugawa family, which almost caused problems in the command flow of the family.

Later you also know that Tokugawaden has filled in some of the Junyuan three samurai to become the subordinates of my Ogasawara family. These people don’t even know how to ride a horse. It’s too whimsical for you to want them to play Yabusame team. up! "

Ignoring Hideyoshi Ogasawara's complaints, Hideka poured a cup of tea for her and continued, "I want you to bring back a Yabusame team as soon as possible, even if it's just a show."

Xiuzhen asked indifferently: "Really? How many people do you want? When do you want it?"

"At least 100 people, at the beginning of the year." After saying that, Xiu Jia picked up his teacup, put it in his nose, smelled the tea and drank it in one gulp.

Hearing Xiu's reply, Xiuzhen changed her idyllic attitude before, and asked quite seriously, "Brother, do you know how long it takes to train a cavalry team? Why is it so urgent? What's the matter? "

"From now on, you will also be Koriyama Ogasawara's family, the daimyo of Iwashiro, His Highness Kanbai prevents the door in the northeast, should you have your own door to face?"

Hearing Xiu's explanation, Ogasawara Xiuzhen's expression became more solemn, and she continued to ask: "This explanation is unreasonable, because there is no need to be so urgent. Did you know something in advance?"

"A guess." The Xiu family was frightened by Xiuzhen's eyes, and gradually confessed to her, "Judging from the riots in the Tamura family, I think there will be a wave of chaos in the Northeast."

Ogasawara Hidetada, who heard the Tamura riot, changed her previous attitude of obeying the Hide family's words, and thought for a long time in silence, denying Hide's judgment, "Why do you think that Tamura's riot was when he was not in office, and Date sold him out?" up"

"Osaki, Kasai, Hega, and Hikanori did not give relief either."

Before the Xiu family finished speaking, Xiuzhen interrupted emotionally: "They are different! There was a commotion when Tian Cun went back, but His Highness Guan Bai gave them resettlement materials of hundreds or thousands of stones." , Let them continue to be warriors and pass on.

The Uo area was pacified by me and Gamo's attendants, and now Ishida, Otani, Kimura, etc. are carrying out inspections. These few companies also cooperate a lot. If they want to rebel, they should have cooperated with them when they still controlled the territory. Just like Tamura, give it a go! "

The Xiu family looked at the agitated Xiuzhen and fell silent, and the hall fell into a strange calm.Xiujia looked at the young man in front of him in surprise. This seemed to be the first time that Xiuzhen lost her temper with her in the years they had known each other.

"I'm sorry, brother, it's my fault."

After calming down, Xiuzhen quickly apologized to Xiujia, but Xiujia pursed her lips, not knowing how to reply him.

He knew very well in his heart that this group of people was very obedient at the beginning in history, but the interests of the prosecutors violated the interests of the vast number of Yu and Austrian servants.

This can be seen from Odawara’s naming of the four wars in the Houyu Olympia area: "Kasai Osaki Ichiki, Waga Echikan Ichiki, Kudo Rebellion and Umeki Ichiki"

Only the Nine House Rebellion was launched by Nine House Masashi as a lord, and the others were riots by the people at the bottom who coerced the old lord to rebel against Hideyoshi. Therefore, only the "Nine House Rebellion" was dubbed "chaos", while others were It is the characterization of "一揆".

Xiujia quickly understood the reason for Xiuzhen's anger. This was the first time he was going to pacify a place as a general, and the stability of Yu'ao area was related to his achievements.

He is also eager to prove himself through this pacification, although this pacification looks more like an armed parade.

However, no matter what the essence of this feather Olympic trip is, as one of the main persons in charge, Hideyoshi Ogasawara was completely bound by it while gaining political capital.

Now, Xiujia actually said in front of him that there would be turmoil after Yuao, so in Xiuzhen's view, it was a denial of his military exploits and political results. difficult to accept.

"When my brother proposed to form the Yu'ao Guarding Army, did you already expect such a thing?"

After calming down, Hideyoshi Ogasawara thought about the cause and effect of the whole incident, and suddenly asked Xiujia such a question. After thinking for a while, Xiujia nodded to express that he accepted his guess.

Seeing Xiujia confirm his guess, Ogasawara Xiuzhen showed an unbelievable expression. He couldn't imagine that Xiujia thought so far.

But in a flash, how could there be such a person in the world, even the rebellion could be foreseen?

Recalling that when he was in Koriyama, Xiujia also felt that there was something wrong with the riots in the Tamura family, so he blamed all this on Xiujia's mentality.

"Elder brother usually has a lot of things to do, so he still needs to pay attention to rest. I really don't agree with what you just said to my younger brother. It's like when you talked to me about the Tamura Rebellion in Koriyama."

Ogasawara Hideyoshi raised her head and looked at Xiujia sincerely and said: "Some things are not so complicated, brother should still think about the present, and don't think so far away."

"Now?"

"I heard that my brother made a big move against Kanto in Yanfu City, so I should focus on my skills. Say something offensive, 'My brother is not a man of the world after all.'"

After finishing speaking, Xiuzhen Ogasawara probably also realized that she might have talked too much today, so she got up and bid farewell to the Xiu family.

Xiujia sent him out of the house and came back, looking at Ukita Kanjia, who was sitting beside him, who had been silent until now, and asked, "Brother, do you think I'm worrying too much?"

Unlike Ogasawara Hideyoshi, Ukita's family said frankly, "I am different from Ogasawara's servant. I was born as His Highness's servant. If it weren't for His Highness's precautions over the years, my Yuki family would not be as prosperous as it is today."

"It's getting late. Now that Hideo Ogasawara's attendants have already left, I won't stay so long, Your Highness."

Yuxita Quanjia said that he got up and wanted to leave, but after getting up, he stopped and continued to Xiujia, "I am from the same line as His Highness. Although we are separated from each other in the future, I am willing to help you wherever it is useful. His Highness drove away. But today I have something to say to His Highness."

Hearing Ukita's family talking to him in such a formal way, Xiujia's curiosity was also aroused by him, and he asked him, "Is there anything else you can tell me, brother?"

"No matter how friendly His Highness is with Ogasawara's attendant, you and him are two different families. Forgive me, please don't get involved in irrelevant matters, control yourself, and just go your own way.

In fact, this question has been with His Highness for a long time. As a courtier, I couldn't point it out to you face to face.Now, in my capacity as the Lord of Sanuki, I would like to give a warning to His Royal Highness Toyotomi Hideka, the daimyo of the eight Kanto kingdoms:
Resist the urge to correct others when talking to them, even though we do so with the best of intentions.Because it is easy to want to hurt others, but it is very difficult to want to improve others, even if there is no obstruction. "

After Yu Xiduo interpreted the words of the family, he bowed deeply to the Xiu family, and then got up to bid farewell to the Xiu family and left "Yu Mian"

Having just been contradicted by Hideyoshi Ogasawara, and later educated by Ukita's family, Hideo, who didn't react for a while, could only watch the family go to rest in a daze.

After everyone left, the Xiu family sat down on the tatami with a "puchi" sound, thinking about his attitude in life with blank eyes.

Maybe it is true as they said, sometimes I am too much like an "old lady", and I always have to get involved in things that I don't want to have to do, and in the end, maybe I can't let others go.

My past self was tolerated by others because of my special status. Outside, the guests were afraid of the Xiu family and dared not speak out; The wives and concubines of the family were immersed in the image of Xiujia's greatness and did not see their own problems. In the end, the Xiujia family became a Zou Ji-style figure.

There are only daimyos who have a good relationship with him like Xiuzhen, and daimyos who are blood related to him like Xiang Yuxita, because they have similar identities and close relationships with the Xiu family at the same time, they are willing to directly point out the Xiu family. question.

After thinking for a long time, Xiujia realized his problem, sighed helplessly and said, "It's time to change."

In the early morning of the next day, Ukita Quanjia came to see the Xiu family as usual, this time he came to see the Xiu family as a retainer of the Toyotomi family.

When Ogasawara came out, the Ukita Kan family was left behind by Hideo for the transfer of the title after the Kansai general plan, and Oka Toshikatsu and others were left to her to dispatch.

Later, the Kanto was appraised and Hideka returned to Osaka. As a new daimyo, he was ruled to receive the title, and it was because of this that he appeared in Osaka City.

When Hideyoshi was handling internal affairs in Kanto, Hideyoshi Ukita had officially granted 11 counties out of the 10 counties of Sanuki, with a total of 16.5 stone collars, and 1 stone collars in Ouchi County, which is close to Osaka and connected to Awa. Bestowed on Akamatsu Hidenori.And its main city was officially confirmed as the Sanuki Fengshan Castle previously built by Xiujia.

This city is located on Mine Mountain on the south side of Takamatsu Port, overlooking the entire Takamatsu Plain, and the town of Takamatsu Port at the foot of the mountain is really the best place for this city.

Moreover, when the Xiu family was in charge, it was built by Todo Takatora. Before that, defensive facilities such as stone walls, dobori, and stone screens had been built, and the land was evened out and divided into divisions. .

As the general guarding Hideka who stayed in the West Country, he also came to Osaka from Okayama to accept the award a month ago. The reason why he didn't go to Sanuki to stay in Osaka after the award was because he wanted to prepare for Okayama. Inform Xiujia of the situation together.

In fact, Yu Xiduo's family was waiting to talk about this matter with Xiu's family yesterday, but Xiuzhen just had a bit of trouble with Xiu's family, and Quan's family also expressed some feelings, and temporarily suppressed this matter. I can come and report to the Xiu family today.

After experiencing the dialogue between the two of their new identities yesterday, Xiujia suddenly didn't know what kind of posture to use to deal with Quanjia.

On the contrary, the Quan family sat down directly facing the Xiu family, and asked the Xiu family: "Your Highness, do you plan to go back to Gangshan again?"

This question kept Xiu's family silent for a few seconds, but Xiu's family finally said, "If there is nothing wrong, I probably won't go back. What are you going back for? It will only increase the pain."

"That's right." Ukita Kanya was noncommittal about Xiujia's decision, and began to report to Xiujia about Okayama's preparations during this period.

"His Royal Highness's family members, ladies and young halls have already made preparations, and will be escorted by the royal family, and they will leave for Kanto as soon as possible.

Considering the exhaustion of the journey, after discussing with Mr. Tachihara, I decided to transport the people from Okayama to Osaka, then by land to Owari, and then board the ship and go by sea, and transfer them by the fleet along the way.

After His Highness Guan Bai returned to Osaka and confirmed His Highness's reward, we have already started preparations.It's just that this plan has not been confirmed by His Highness. If there is no problem, we will implement it like this. "

This plan is more reasonable. Japanese coastal shipping generally does not directly sail around Kii like in the game, because Kii is mountainous, and the coast is full of cliffs, and there are few suitable ports for docking.

In addition, there are few people there, even if some villages and samurai forces have villages there, they are far away from the rule of Lord Kii and even Hideyoshi, if the goods are robbed there, who will count it?

Therefore, Japan's shipping seems to be split in two by Kinki. The goods from the western country land from Osaka, and then they are transported to the northern country by land.

In fact, in Japan, only the sea to the west of Kinki is relatively developed, and the east of Kinki is facing the influence of the strong wind in the Pacific Ocean, and Japanese small boats can't stand it at all, which makes the development of sea transportation in northern Japan very slow.

As a rule, a country like Japan should develop a marine civilization. Unfortunately, I don't know why. The technology tree of Japan's shipbuilding industry is a bit crooked, making them lag behind more than an era in seagoing ships.

After the Hide family settled in Okayama, they used the Seto Inland Seaway to vigorously develop commerce and shipbuilding. Now the Okayama navy forces of the Hide family in the Seto Inland Sea can even head-to-head with Hideyoshi's Toyotomi family navy.

However, no matter how bad Japan's shipping is, it is still the most time-saving option in this era, saving manpower, animal power and customs clearance fees.

In the end, compared with the one and a half months' journey from Okayama, taking the sea route is relatively comfortable, and it is more in line with the lofty personality of the Toyotomi family.
