Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 596

Hideyoshi got a certain answer from Hideo, saying that he would make arrangements for Ou's relocation as appropriate in the future.

Then he asked who had the greatest attack in this battle, and Hideka recommended Ogasawara Hidetada, Mogami Yoshimitsu, and Toyotomi Hideji.

Ogasawara Hidetada was because he sent troops from Shinano, first attacked Iwashiro, and then wiped out Iwa, surrounded by Dexian Beiguchi Duei and He Bariguan, spanning hundreds of miles, and made great achievements.

And Mogami Yoshimitsu has the merits of stabilizing Zhici and Yuhou, and Toyotomi Hideji is because the Toyotomi Banner he led was the absolute main force in this battle.

Asano Nagamasa believes that the first victory in this battle should be given to Uesugi Jingsheng, because he was the first to bring reinforcements into Deba, so that he could control Senbei Ichikui within a controllable range.

Regarding Uesugi Jingsheng's arrangement, Xiujia had not communicated with Asano Nagamasa before, so Asano Nagamasa's words came from his own thoughts.

It's just that I don't know that Asano Nagamasa's words made Ogasawara Hidetada a little ugly, how can I say that I am the general who put down Senbei Ichikui, but now you have given all your general achievements to the people below.

Hideyoshi asked Xiuci and Xiuzhen about their views on the ranking of credit, and no one said anything about Uesugi Jingsheng and Gamo's hometown.

"Now that you've all returned from Ou, the attendant Gamo and the counselor Uesugi were ordered to command the various armies in the face of danger, isn't it worthy of military merit?"

Hideyoshi said that as far as this is concerned, even a fool can hear his partiality for Uesugi and Gamo's family, so Hideyoshi and others stopped expressing their opinions.

Now that what should be understood has been understood, and what should be expressed has already been expressed, Hideyoshi will not leave more people. It will be used as a reference after returning to the court and being sealed."

Coming out of Jule Building, Hideka and Asano's attendants exchanged glances, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes. It seems that the plan for Ou Yu's re-employment needs to be greatly changed.

By the beginning of July, there was news from Ou that the rebellion with Kabaiguan had subsided, and Gamo's hometown was going south with Ou and Kanto names to accept Hideyoshi's meritorious deeds.

Almost at about the same time, the nursery rhyme that terrified the Xiu family began to spread in the capital inexplicably, so much so that Hideyoshi in Juledi and Xiuchang, who was paralyzed in bed in the mansion, heard about it.

Kyoto is no better than Kanto, Xiujia has no strong control over this place, so when the nursery rhymes start to spread, Xiujia can only do nothing about it.

All kinds of troubles during the recent period have also made the Xiu family moody, and the Kanto Toyotomi family mansion is low-pressure all day long.

As the ruler of Kyoto, Hideyoshi reacted very quickly. He quickly arrested all the singing children and asked them who was the one who told them to sing.

To the outside world, Hideyoshi unified the caliber that someone was doing something wrong and wanted to drive a wedge between Hideyoshi and Hideyoshi and his son.But in private, Hideyoshi summoned Hideyoshi and asked him about his attitude towards this matter.

Hideo naturally expressed his anger in front of Hideyoshi, thinking that this was the sowing of dissension by reactionaries who were dissatisfied with the harmony of the Toyotomi family.

He pretended to be angry with Hideyoshi and said: I have already been transferred to Kanto, why does my father still not trust me so much.

Hideyoshi couldn't get an answer from Hideo, and asking Hideo to stay in Kyoto during this period of time, and not to leave Kyoto easily, was essentially confinement for Hideo.

At the same time, the Kinoshita family was sent to stay with Katagiri Katagiri and others, and went north under the guise of congratulating Ashikaga Hime for giving birth, but in fact to monitor whether Ashikaga Hime gave birth to a boy.

Shi Ji's due date is in July, and it is too late for them to leave Kyoto at this moment, but there is no allusion of changing a civet cat for a prince in Japan in this life.

Naturally, they did not expect that the Hide family would replace a man with the noble bloodlines of Toyotomi and Ashikaga, so when they came to Kawagoe City and found that Ujihime gave birth to a daughter, they did not express any doubts.

On the same day, he sent a letter back to Kyoto, declaring that nursery rhymes are nonsense.

In fact, Hideonaga, who has been paralyzed on the bed, is also paying attention to this matter. He knows more about the influence of this matter than Hideyoshi.

Coupled with his understanding of the Xiu family, he doesn't think the Xiu family is a rebellious person. After the death of Hidecho and Hideyoshi, only the Xiu family is the most upright among the second generation of Toyotomi.

Therefore, he gave another explanation to Hideyoshi for this nursery rhyme, saying in his inarticulate words, "The meaning of this nursery rhyme may be that after my death, the Toyotomi family will be supported by the Hide family as the pillar of state affairs." Note that the following is a biased reading.

As for the fact that Ashikaga was also known as Gu, he might be the son of the Hide family.After all, Hideka and Kikuhime belonged to Hachiro Ding, a son of the direct descendant, so it was never the turn of the son of the Ashikaga family to take power. "

Hideyoshi's explanation is better than a thousand words of Hideyoshi's, and Hideyoshi quickly accepted Hideyoshi's explanation, which made Hideyoshi not only suspect that if Hideaga really disappears in the future, and if a traitor comes to do this again, will he be able to accept it? Can't stand it.

Although Ashikaga Jihime gave birth to a girl, and Hidecho explained the nursery rhyme to make Hideyoshi a little less wary, Hidecho still warned Hideka not to leave Kyoto during the recent period, and Kanto affairs can be commanded remotely.

By the end of August, Kamo clan leaders Uesugi Kekatsu, Mogami Yoshimitsu, Nambu Nobunao, Date Masamune, Satake Yoshinobu and others finally came to Kyoto, which also marked the finalization of the Ouyu pattern in the next few decades.

Date and Satake Masato were directly forced into Juledi for trial by Hideyoshi's mother-in-law. Fortunately, Hideyoshi sent someone to notify them on the way to let them care.

Because Xiujia knew his attitude towards Ou Yu's corner, it would be best to have a smooth transition, and he didn't want to have another Ou Yu conquest.

Right now, as long as Date Masamune and Satake Yoshinobu are about to die, Hideyoshi will have no confession, and the treatment of the two will not be too severe.

Sure enough, as Hideyoshi expected, Hideyoshi did not directly condemn Date Masamune Natsuichi Kui, and even released him without defining his behavior.

According to gossip in Kyoto, Date Masamune's wife, Aihime, contributed to this, and for some reason, the Hideo family believed in such pretentious things.

As for Yoshishige Satake, who was captured by Hideyoshi and taken to Kyoto long ago, with the arrival of Yoshinobu Satake, the father and son had already made a confession. Yoshishige Satake assumed all the responsibilities.

As Yoshishige Satake, who committed the appalling genocide, the public opinion at the time was that he would be disgraced as a samurai, but under the persuasion of Asano Nagamasa, the sentence of exile to Koyasan was changed.

Since the South Hall 33 was almost wiped out except for the Takeda family, many families could not revive the family, so Hideyoshi only gave the Takeda family the ability to secure the arrangement to show appeasement.

Not long after, the entrustment of Ou's re-official office began. First, the reconfirmation of the 6 shiandu of Mizuno Tadashi Rikuzen's country, Momo, Honyoshi, and Kesen, and the official confirmation of the city as Ishinomaki Castle.

Then came the change of the two changed names, Onodera Yoshimichi and Daibaoji Yoshikatsu.Yes, even though the Hideyoshi family helped the Uesugi family to cover up the Daibaoji Yoshikatsu, Hideyoshi still had his own channels to know about it.

The 12 koku after the Shonai seized by Daibaoji Yoshikatsu were all changed and directly given to Uesugi Jingsheng directly under the jurisdiction.For the paper data of the Uesugi family, merits and demerits are not rewarded or punished.

In fact, it is helping the Uesugi family to control the Shonai. After all, Honjo Shigecho and Daihoji Yoshikatsu father and son have too much influence in the north of Echigo and Shonai, and they can even sit on an equal footing with the Uesugi family.

Hideyoshi's doing this is equivalent to digging meat from Honjo Shigecho to feed it to Uesugi Jingsheng.

Of course, it didn't give Shiobu County to Date Masamune as Hideka had planned before. On the contrary, Shiobu County was directly given to Uesugi's family. It seems that Hideyoshi didn't understand Hideka's idea. He didn't like the map dog teeth. mutual.

In fact, it is also understandable. After all, Hideyoshi's goal for Ou Shiji is to make the transition here smooth. Naturally, he does not want to cause rifts because of the territory in the future. This is the opposite of Hideyoshi's purpose.

Although all the responsibility was borne by Satake Yoshishige, the impact of the Satake family's affairs was too bad, and Satake Yoshinobu was transferred from Ibaraki's 34 koku to the Iwaki Kingdom's Kikuta County, Iwamae County, Iwagi County, Naraha County, Shibaha County, Xingfang County, Udo County, Watari County, and Zhixing have a total of 24.8 shi, and the main city is Pingcheng.

Lilong, Iwaki, which was originally here, was transferred to Iwadai Fukushima with 12 koku, and Soma Yoshin transferred 6.3 koku to Katta County, Shibata County, and Igu County.

Originally, the daimyo of Fukushima, Nakagawa Kiyohide, held 26 koku from the three prefectures of Date, Nobuo, and Okitama. This time, 27.3 koku was transferred to Aizu, and went to the territory of the Gamo clan.

Another daimyo who was reduced was the suspected Date Masamune. He was transferred from Sendai 23 koku to Yuhou Xiongsheng County, Xianbei County, Pinglu County, and Yuri County 16.8 koku.

The daimyo Tozawa Masaan who was originally in Xianbei was transferred to Luzhong Danzawa County with 5.1 shi, and an additional 6000 shi.

Anton Shiji was awarded the 6600 stone seal of Antler County, which was originally the southern territory. This land itself is Yuhou's territory, but it was previously occupied by the Nanfang family.

As compensation, the Nanfang family sealed nearly 5 shi of Hehe County, Barnguan County, and Jiangci County.

As the most important coast of Sendai in the Mutsu region, Hideyoshi will never forget that he was not easy to do it because of the relationship with the Date family. Now that he has an excuse in his hand, he will naturally not let this opportunity go easily.

After transferring Date Masamune to Yuhou, he transferred Gamo's village from Aizu to Rikuzen.

Gamo's township will lead Natori County, Miyagi County, Kurokawa County, Kami County, Tamaku County, Shida County, Toda County, Kurihara County, Tome County, and the southernmost Iwani County Zhixing in the land and land, with a total of 42 shi. was given a seal.

Nakamura Kazushi, as the general of the Toyotomi Banner in this battle, made a lot of contributions, and was awarded 14 koku by the entire command of Zhici County.

Ogasawara Hidesada, as the daimyo of Iwashiro, was granted the seal of 2.7 koku from Ishikawa County (Tengkura collar) and Shirakura County after the Satake family and Iwashiro family transferred the seal.

As for our Asano Nagamasa, under the operation of his sister Ning Ning, he successfully obtained the knowledge of 32 koku from the entire Ibaraki Kingdom (2 koku was given by Shirakawa of Iwashiro to Ogasawara Hidetada).

So far, the entire arrangement of Ou's relocation has come to an end. It seems that most of them except Oura Nobuyuki, Yuki Haruto, Utsunomiya Kunzuna and others who have contributed little have been awarded the title. It is nothing more than a problem of more meat and less meat.

But Hideie, who is the general general, and Yoshimitsu Mogami, the daimyo of Ou, seem to be forgotten.Hideka previously agreed to help Mogami's Xinzhuang leader to help him run Nagai County, but it also ended because the whole county was given to Nakamura Kazushi.

If you want to say who earns the most among all people, it is undoubtedly Gamo's hometown. In just three years, from Kyushu's 3 koku daimyo to Aizu's 12 koku, and Xiang's 27 koku, Zhixing tripled more.

It can be imagined that Hideyoshi will definitely put more emphasis on Gamo's Township in the future.

Of course, the Xiu family who did not receive the title did not get anything. Hideyoshi gave the Xiu family a reward of 2000 taels of gold, 2 taels of silver, and 5 copper coins.

Mogami Yoshimitsu received 300 taels of gold, 2000 taels of silver, and 1 kans of copper coins. Yuuki, Utsunomiya and other daimyos each received 1000 taels of silver and 8000 kans of copper coins as military compensation.

Hideyoshi's refusal to seal Mogami Yoshimitsu is likely due to the abnormality in the data of his prefecture. After all, before the Battle of Odawara, Mogami Yoshimitsu reported 15.7 koku. No less than 30 shi.

For Hideyoshi, 30 koku is already a limit for a daimyo, so his achievements were ignored and he was not sealed.

As the Tokugawa family who sent troops to help guard the Kanto, Hideyoshi also gave 1 copper coins as compensation.

For the Xiu family, the current reward of 8 guan in silver is obviously more beneficial than Zhixing's seal. The most important thing in the development of the Kanto is money, and the Xiu family is not willing to experience the day of national bankruptcy again.

In addition to the conferment of Zhixing, the official positions of the above-mentioned daimyo have also been conferred, such as Gamo Clan, who directly skipped several levels from the attendant and sealed the post of counselor + minister of the Ministry of war.

Uesugi Jingsheng was awarded the title of Lieutenant General of the Left Guard, and his position as a councilor remained unchanged.Ogasawara Hideyoshi was granted the title of inspector and released by the chief officer, equal to Lieutenant General Zuo Jinwei.Mogami Yoshimitsu was appointed as an attendant + major general of the left guard right.

Although Date Masamune's knowledge and actions have decreased, he still received the reward of attendant + Deba Mamoru as a consolation.

Satake Yoshinobu was deprived of his official position, and he was given the post of Iwaki Shou. This is a new official position that Hideyoshi asked the imperial court to appear after the division of Ou. The first level is awarded to the five servants.

Hideyoshi's award to the Ou Daimyo ended here, and most of the Ou and Kanto daimyos were also very satisfied with Hideka's arrangement, and there was no way for Satake and Date to be reduced.

Hideyoshi took advantage of this opportunity of Ichikui to place more of his family members in Kanto and Ou. For example, Asano Nagamasa and Nakamura Ichishi are two new wedges.

In Hideyoshi's view, from Iwai County at the southernmost point of the land to Iwashiro Shirakawa, the entire Mutsu Avenue, such as Gamo, Iwagi, Nakamura, Ogasawara, Nakagawa, etc., came from their own genealogy and mastered this "dragon road" , those little daimyos of Ou Yu can no longer make waves.

Moreover, in the north, there is Gamo's Township with 42 shi, and in the south, there are Nakagawa Kiyohide and Ogasawara Hidetada with 27 to 30 shi each. There is almost no knowledge and practice higher than the three of them in Ou, let alone Ibaraki on the south side of Satake. I have my own brother-in-law Asano Nagamasa.

The reason why Hideyoshi agreed to move Asano Nagamasa to Ibaraki was because he belonged to his own family after all, and he was relatively close to the Hide family.

Secondly, judging from the last discussion, Hideka and Asano Nagamasa are not of one mind, and he can safely let Asano Nagamasa go, neither will arouse Hideka's resentment nor worry about the two being linked together.

In addition to the official appointments of Ou's famous names, Toyotomi Hideji, who was discussed for his meritorious service in this battle, was awarded 30 koku of Omi Kunizang, which made his total knowledge rise to 80 koku, making him second only to Hideo and Hideo. Long, Tokugawa's fourth Daimyo.
