Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 599 North Korea is facing the war, the important ministers are finally released, and Jing Ze also returns to the feudal clan to take office
"That's not the case." The Xiu family strongly denied and explained, "I want my father to give me an amnesty, release Oka Danzheng, Hanabang Shugongliang and others, and let me lead the North Korean army on their behalf."

Regarding Xiu's request, Hideyoshi hesitated for a moment, and doubts appeared in his eyes, "Do you really have no generals under your command? You actually invited these two old men who were half buried in the ground.

Ah~!By the way, the one who was always by your side in the past, your brother-in-law Todo Sado, can't you? "

"Yes, I am ashamed to say that I sent Sado to Ezo." Hideka said to Hideyoshi.

In fact, before Hideo asked Hideyoshi for someone, he knew very well in his heart that Todo Takatora was a topic that could not be avoided.

As a member of the Kanto Toyotomi family, and also a slightly older member of the Kanto Toyotomi family, the fact that Fujido Takatora has not appeared in Kanto for a long time is easy to attract attention.

Gao Hu will continue to operate in Ezo for 5 years in the future. It is actually very difficult to hide it for the next 5 years.

That's why Hideyoshi wanted to reveal something to Hideyoshi appropriately. Sometimes a false cover is often easier to accept than a mystery without clues.

When Hideyoshi heard what Hideka said, he laughed and said, "Ezo? You exiled your family to Ezo?"

"That's not the case," Hideka explained, "Father should know that the Oysterzaki family has been passed down in southern Ezo for several generations, which proves that Ezo is not a worthless place.

This is also the reason why the minister insisted so before that the prisoner involved in the case of Ou Ichikui should be exiled to Ezo.The subject wants to open up another land for my father, and that is Ezo. "

"There are more than 6000 exiled criminals who migrated to Ezo this time. Counting the exiled people from Onodera, Hega, Enokan, Date and other families, the number exceeds 7000. If such a large number of people are transported to Ezo, it will definitely be difficult if no one controls them. something wrong.

Although the purpose of exile in Ezo is to punish the criminals, many of them used to treat the samurai. It is a pity to leave them to die in Ezo. Therefore, I plan to let them use the 12 cities of the Oysterzaki family as a base to explore and occupy the southern part of Ezo.

If the Ainu of the surrounding tribes can be wiped out and naturalized, after two generations of development, the southern part of Ezo might not be able to become the new territory of the Toyotomi family. "

Hideka was referring to the pure 6000 refugees and the samurai from the Onodera Yoshimichi, Hega, and Enokan families.

The Date family was exiled to Nishidanshin, which is a little closer to Hidaka, the core of the Hide family, and the above group of people will be directly exiled to the southern part of Domatsumae, which is the Hakodate area of ​​later generations.

For Xiujia to fight the first wave of pioneers with the Ainu there.

Of course, it is no longer nominally to be a pioneer for the Hideo family, but to redeem himself for the Toyotomi family and Hideyoshi.

"In any case, they are a group of rioters, and it may be difficult to get things done if no one restrains them, so I sent Sado Shou over and asked him to lead 500 people to escort and escort them to Ezo.

I just heard from Yoshihiro Osakizaki that there are tens of thousands of Ainu people over there, and I don't expect these 7000 people to be able to lay down such a large piece of land. I just hope that they can have a base to fight steadily. "

"Hahaha" Hideyoshi laughed loudly after hearing Hideka's explanation, "You guys always surprise me, like taking the Ryukyu for me before, but now you want to use exiles to attack Ezo.

Those Ainu people have no evidence at all, so let those thousands of exiles explore the way for us.

It doesn't matter even if they are all dead. When I win the Ming Kingdom, I will lead a million soldiers to the north and teach those Ainu people a lesson.

You send a message for me to Yoshihiro Osakizaki, Yoshimichi Onodera and others, whoever can conquer territory in Ezo, I will give him the knowledge and safety of this land, and if he can conquer a country, I will make him the lord of the country! "

Hideyoshi seemed to be very pleased with Hideo's ingenious ideas, and wrote a lot of empty checks that Hideo had already written to the group of guys in Ezo.

Although these checks have already been drawn, it is impossible for the Hideo family to say anything about their arrogance in front of Hideyoshi, so they followed his words and said: "Yes, I will definitely convey the meaning of my father. Promise, they will definitely work harder."

"It's just that these people are still not good enough. I implore my father for permission. From now on, all prisoners who need the death penalty, if not necessary, will be sentenced to exile in Ezo, and other felony prisoners will also be divided by the penalty of exile in Ezo, so as to fill the gap. Yi's strength."

"There are dozens of prisoners a year. I promise you about this matter. You can discuss it with Ya Letou later."

Hideyoshi was not very concerned about changing the sentence and exiling the prisoners to Ezo, just like letting the group of exiles go to Ezo to die, in his opinion, only a hundred prisoners are exiled in the whole country a year.

Therefore, he didn't want to take care of this matter. In his opinion, this was an ingenious gadget made by the Xiu family.

Not to mention whether the 6000 people can gain a firm foothold without support, even if they are established, a hundred people will be added in a year, how many years will it take him to fill in the population of a leading country?

So I let Xiujia discuss with Ikoma himself.

But he didn't know that every year in Japan's 66 countries, there are hundreds of ordinary people who are sentenced to death for repeated crimes, and hundreds of people who are sentenced to exile and deportation for other reasons. The population has come and gone.

Even if not everyone here will be sentenced to exile Ezo, but the stable population of hundreds of people a year can be regarded as being won by Ezo.

And as his rule gradually became more brutal, the civil turmoil continued, and the conflict between the people and the government became more common. In the next seven years, tens of thousands of prisoners were exiled to Ezo for various reasons.

"So... Fujido went to Ezo, you don't have a servant to use now, do you?" Hideyoshi was in a good mood by Hideo's unconstrained ideas, so he concluded what Hideo had just said.

Xiujia nodded and said helplessly: "It is indeed such a father."

"I understand, but that guy can't come out, and he said such arrogant words to me, if it wasn't for you that day." Hideyoshi was so kind, and decided to amnesty several retainers under the Hideo family, but half of what he said was lost. stopped.

The quarrel between the two in Osaka City that day was something neither of them wanted to face. When thinking about the situation that day, Xiujia actually subconsciously touched his right thumb.

"That's it. You can go back and write a letter now, telling them to prepare their troops early and prepare for the battle against North Korea."

Hideyoshi, who was originally happy because of Ezo's incident, suddenly issued a eviction order to Hide's house with a cold face, and then left while being presented by Hide's house, as if he didn't want to stay here for one more minute.

When the Hide family returned to their mansion, they wrote a letter to unseal the letter from Hanabou Masayuki, Awa Hisutora and others. At the same time, they also wrote a letter of guilt for Oka Toshikatsu, expressing that he was unable to release him this time. I am deeply sorry.

Xiujia handed the letter to his valet, Kagawa Keinori, and looked at this young man who was 3 years younger than his grade, and suddenly had a different attention in his mind.

"Goro Saburo is seventeen this year." Xiujia asked him sympathetically.

"My lord remembers clearly that I have followed my lord since the Kagawa family surrendered to my lord in the 12th year of Tensho (1584), and it has been 7 years now."

"Seven years is a long time. Hanbei and the others usually go out to practice after two years with me." Hideka said to Xiang Chuanjing.

"The purpose of being a servant by my side is to follow me to learn military strategy and art of war, as well as the way to handle affairs. Since you have followed me like this, you must have learned a few tricks.

The conquest is about to begin, and this is the best chance for the warriors to prove themselves. Unfortunately, I cannot participate in this conquest. "

Hearing Xiujia's sigh, Xiang Chuanjing comforted Xiujia, "Your Majesty, don't worry about it. Even if you can't go to North Korea this time, His Highness Guanbai will still think of you when you want to fight against Ming in the future."

Xiujia touched his younger brother on the shoulder and said, "It is precisely because I cannot go to North Korea that I hope you can go to North Korea to make contributions. This is a good opportunity to prove yourself to your father and uncle."

Hearing Xiujia's answer, Kagawa Jing looked at Xiujia in disbelief, "Do you mean that you want me to leave the servants and return to my domain to become a Kagawa family samurai?"

Xiang Chuanjing quickly realized the problem. He was the Xiu family's valet. As a valet, he was going to handle the affairs of the Xiu family outside as the Xiu family, and serve the daily life of the Xiu family inside.

Since the Xiu family will not go to North Korea with the legion right now, as a close servant, he should always be by the Xiu family's side.But the Xiu family let him go out with the army, these two issues are obviously contradictory.

There is only one possibility to do this, to break away from the attendants and return to the territory to participate in this battle as a samurai of the Kagawa family.And this is what Xiujia thought.

After going through the difficulty of selecting generals for the battle, the Xiu family felt that the inadequacy of their family members was too serious.

In order to speed up the growth of the samurai in the family, it is necessary to take advantage of this opportunity to go to North Korea to train the samurai in the collar.

As for Xiangchuan Jing, as the only adult heir of the Xiangchuan family, he is bound to inherit the 2 stone collar of the Xiangchuan family in the future. Naturally, he must practice it well.

"Yes, you don't have to come back after sending the letter to Kawagoe this time." Hideka encouraged Xiang Chuanjing, "I hope you can make great achievements in North Korea. When I see you, I will call you Goro Saburo all the time. It's Kagawa-sama."

After receiving this heavy letter from Xiujia, Xiang Chuanjing felt mixed feelings in his heart.

Although he has been with the Xiu family for many years and has seen the servants who have been with the Xiu family for many years leave, but when he becomes one of them one day, he is still somewhat reluctant.

After being silent for a few seconds, Xiang Chuanjing took two steps back with his knees, and solemnly kowtowed to the Xiu family, "Thank you for the kindness of my lord's nurturing for so many years, and I Goro Saburo and the Xiangchuan family will never forget this kindness."

In fact, Kagawa Kei was sent to the Xiu family as a hostage of the Kagawa family. At that time, he was still a boy with a runny nose in the countryside.

Because his father is not Xiangchuan Jingjia, but his second brother Xiangchuan Jingjia, and there are two older brothers on his head.

However, the population of the Kagawa family was wiped out by the Sanuki War, and Kagawa Kei was forced to become the son of the family governor, Kagawa Kage, and was sent to the Hide family as a hostage.

After so many years, Kagawa Jing has not given birth to a second son, and Kagawa Jing is a close servant of the Hide family, and his inheritance rights are very stable within the Kagawa family.

After bidding farewell to Kagawa Kagenori, the Xiu family wanted to lie back on Ju Ji's lap to rest, but heard someone outside reporting, "My lord, Major General Hashiba is here to see you."

Impatiently, Xiujia got up from Ju Ji's lap, and asked outside, "Which Major General Yu Chai?"

There is no way, the Toyotomi family has too few family members. In order to control the daimyos, Hideyoshi bestowed his surname and Miao characters everywhere, as if all the daimyos in Japan will be a family named Hashiba from now on.

But the final result of this is that you can't tell who he is talking about when you see everyone is [Major General Hashiba] and [Toyotomi Counselor].

Therefore, in Taoshan, when people generally called them, they would use the vassal state as a prefix to distinguish them.

Facing Xiujia's inquiry, another response came from outside the house, "It's Major General Hashiba from Xinfeng Gangshan."

Hearing that the person who came was Yu Chai Hidekatsu, the Xiu family knew that this was really an attendant who did not come to pass on the message, because this was not a Miao character bestowed by other daimyo, and his real name was Yu Chai.

In fact, he could have had the surname Toyotomi along with his elder brother. After all, there are so many people named Hashiba now.

Many people think that even Tokugawa Ieyasu, Uesugi Kekatsu, Ogasawara Hidetada, and Gamo clan were given the surnames of Toyotomi courtiers, and they think that Hashiba Hidekatsu, a nephew, must also be given.

In fact, it is not the case. After the Yuanfu, he got the Hashiba Miao character together with Hideji, but after the Kyushu War, Hideyoshi changed the reward, and Odawara only returned to the 2 stone name after that.

Because of his perverse personality, Hideyoshi has always been unhappy with him, so he has never been given the surname of Toyotomi, and he will not be directly allowed to use Toyotomi's courtiers to show people like Xiujia and Hideji.

As for his official position as Major General Zuo Jinwei Quan, it was the official position he was given after the Yuanfu in the 13th year of Tianzheng (1585), or he had a good uncle's family.

Hearing that the person who came was Hashiba Hidekatsu, the Hide family knew in their hearts that this person had to be seen. After all, he had just taken over his own Bizen Bankoku, and it was normal for the two families to meet and hand over each other.

But if this guy wants to find himself, he is just looking for a cutscene. This kind of thing is left to the retainers to communicate, and the big names are just polite out of courtesy.

But the Xiu family would never have imagined that Yuchai Hidekatsu did not come to be polite to the Xiu family today, he came to ask the Xiu family Xingshi for a crime
