Prime Minister Bizen

Hearing Hideyoshi's answer, Hideie was taken aback for a moment, but after thinking about it, he understood what the Mori family meant.

The Mori family currently owns 80 koku, Kobayakawa Takakage 36 koku (actually 40 koku), and Yoshikawa Motocho 12 koku, adding up to a full 130 million koku, which can be called a hegemony in the West.

Even if your Toyotomi family is strong, you must send a son over as the heir of my separated family.Okay, my Maori family recognizes it, but you have to follow the etiquette and adopt the procedure of son-in-law and adopted son.

Before the Battle of Odawara, the Maeda Toshiie gave the Iwaki family a son with a physique of 50 shi, which also went through the process of son-in-law and adopted son. He honestly married a woman from the Iwaki family. Adopted as an adopted daughter, there is some blood relationship.

My Mori family is not the Ogasawara family who has become a ronin. I need to rely on your Toyotomi family to restore the country, and I must accept a Hashiba Hideyasu who has already made a marriage contract.

Besides, what kind of physique is Ogasawara's, even if he really accepted Xiuzhen, would he dare to let Xiuzhen and Kyoko separate?Aren't you afraid that Hideyoshi and the Hide family behind the scenes will trouble Ogasawara?

But my Maori family is not afraid, what’s wrong with your Xiu family’s 200 million, and my Maori family also has a physique of 130 million. The key is that you can control me here if you are in the east and I am in the west?
Everyone is a super daimyo in Japan, so you should give my Mori family some face.My Maori family has swallowed their anger and accepted this foreign son, so I just want to go through the procedure of son-in-law and adopted son, okay?

Obviously, Hideyoshi agreed to the Mori family's conditions, and planned to marry a Mori family wife to inherit the Kobayakawa family as a son-in-law and adopted son after marrying Hidetoshi.

I figured it out, but Hideka still wanted to struggle. "I remember that Higo Senator, Hiroshima Kingo, and Tosa Attendant's family don't have girls of the right grade, right?"

"Besides, Hazel and Xiujun grew up together under the upbringing of the Beizheng Institute, and they have known each other for 6-7 years. They are really childhood sweethearts, and they have already identified each other. Let me take the liberty to say that childhood sweethearts are light.

Now you say that you want to cancel their engagement and let Xiujun marry another woman, it may be difficult for them to explain. "

"The Mori family intends to marry Jingo's cousin Guman." Hideyoshi replied flatly, perhaps afraid that the Xiu family would not know who Guman was. Grandmother is Mori Motonaku's daughter."

"Adopted as an adopted daughter?"

"Well, Maori Jinwu's adopted daughter."

The Xiu family has been silent until now, he never expected that the wheel of history will return to the original track on this matter.It is more than a year later than in history, and Xiujia thought it would never happen again.

From Hideyoshi's tone, Hideya heard that this was not a negotiation, but more like a notification.

But as the number one name in the world, the Xiu family attaches great importance to family affection, and he still wants to win over for his younger sister, "Hazel has known Xiujun for a long time, and now you tell her that she can't marry Xiujun, I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it." .”

And Hideyoshi brought out the theory of fatalism and asked Hideo: "This is the fate of the samurai girls. Isn't it, Hachiro?"

"If it is possible, I would like to ask my lord father to fight for it again."

However, Hideyoshi still waved his hand and said, "Let's settle this matter. I'll talk to Ning Ning when the time comes, and let her comfort Xiao Hazel."

Seeing that Xiujia was silent, Hideyoshi felt a little guilty towards Xiujia, and took the initiative to pat Xiujia on the shoulder and said, "I owe you a favor for this matter, don't worry, I will definitely find a suitable husband for Hazel of."

Hearing Hideyoshi's promise, Hideyoshi smiled helplessly. Things were not as simple as Hideyoshi said.

Ever since Hideyoshi ordered that marriages between daimyos must be approved by him, it has become extremely difficult for daimyos to find a good match between them.

Especially for a super famous name like the Xiu family, the marriage is about the right family, but the Xiu family itself is the number one famous name in the world, so which family can be similar to him?

Hideyoshi does not allow super daimyos to marry each other, which means that it is absolutely impossible for the five families of Toyoharu, Maeda, Uesugi, Tokugawa, and Mori to get married.

Hideyoshi agreed to the marriage between Hideo and Yumen before because of his debts to the Maeda family. Last year, Yumen died suddenly due to illness.

Maeda originally wanted to marry his six daughters, Sensei, to the Hide family in turn, but Hideyoshi explicitly refused, and the engagement between the two families was terminated.

Hazel was born in 1579. Who are the unmarried sons of the right age?
To give a few examples: Tokugawa Hidetada born in 1579, Mori Hidemoto born in 1579, Mogami Yoshiyasu born in 1575, Mogami’s relatives born in 1582, Hosokawa Tadaka born in 1580, born Tadahei Shimadzu was born in 1576 and Hideyuki Gamo was born in 1583.

In addition, one is not a daimyo, but a better daimyo was born in Nabeshima Katsushige in 1580.

Let us do the elimination method for the above list. The first one to be excluded is Tokugawa Hidetada.

The reason is simple. Toyoharu and Tokugawa are both Hideyoshi's watchdogs, and Hideyoshi will never let the two watchdogs unite. It's the front line.

Then there is Mori Hidemoto, who is still the heir of the Mori family, and Gamo Hideyuki, the eldest son heir of the Kamo family.

Hideyoshi has no historical knowledge as a foreshadowing. It is impossible to know that Mori Terumoto gave birth to a son in 1595 and put Hideyoshi aside.

Right now, both the Mori family and the Gamo family are super daimyos, and the Gamo clan was even specially brought up by Hideyoshi to divide the Hideka's authority in the Northeast. It is absolutely impossible for these two to unite.

If it was after 1595, it might be a good choice for Maoli Hidemoto, who lost his inheritance rights, and the Gamo family who was reduced.

The remaining Nabeshima Katsushige is a good choice. The Nabeshima family who manages the Ryuzoji Temple is powerful enough to become a rare force for the Hide family in the Western Kingdom and unite with Tachibana Soshige.

But now the Nabeshima family is still a retainer of the Ryuzoji family in name, so how could the younger sister of the Toyoharu family marry an attendant?
Mogami Yoshiyasu, Mogami Family, Shimadzu Tadahiro, and Hosokawa Tadataka all face the same problem, that is, their father has lived too long and is too assertive.

And Mogami is also a Tohoku daimyo, whether Hideyoshi can agree is a question.

Even if the Xiu family married their younger sister, it would most likely be drawn into the relationship between the two families. Whether the in-laws could make a move at a critical moment still depends on the comparison of the combat power of the two sides.

When it comes to the comparison of combat power, there is another reason why Hideka is unwilling to marry Nabeshima Katsushige, that is, even Nabeshima Naoshige, who has a connection with Tokugawa Ieyasu, let his own The Xiu family didn't think that such an ally would be useful for a son who was working abroad.

This is also the reason why the Xiu family chose Kinoshita Hidetoshi as their sister-in-law. The child is relatively innocent, and when he grows up, he will have the opportunity to inherit the 30 stone collar from the Kobayakawa family. This investment is very suitable no matter how you look at it.

The current Xiu family regrets that they shouldn't have listened to Ning Ning's words and delayed for another year. If the marriage between the two had been done a few years ago, the raw rice and cooked rice would not be as much of a problem as it is now.

If it is necessary to choose a suitable secondary candidate, then Mogami Yoshiyasu of the Mogami family can be used as a means for the Xiu family to win over the Tohoku daimyo.

In any case, Hideyoshi himself said that he owed Hazel a marriage contract, which might be able to facilitate this matter.The only thing that worries the Xiu family is whether they will expose their own thoughts too much in such a hurry to marry the Mogami family.

However, the reality is that all of this is the Hide family's self-indulgence. After a few days of Toyotomi Hideaga's funeral, he asked Shimadzu Tadahiro, who came instead of his father, to find out that his elder brother Shimadzu Kubo had passed away not long ago. He wants to replace his elder brother and marry his sister-in-law Shimadzu Kameju as his wife. This is an order from Joseon Shimadzu Yoshihiro.

As for Mogami Yoshimitsu, Mogami Yoshimitsu also showed embarrassment. It turned out that in the 12th year of Tensho (1584), Mogami Yoshimitsu summoned many important officials, including Shiratori Nagaku, to Yamagata Castle in the name of entrusting his son Yikang with serious illness Killed, and eventually triggered the Shiratori-Kanhejiang riot.

Although the war ended with Yoshimitsu's victory at the end, the leaders of Yamamura County were not convinced.In order to appease the local people, Mogami Yoshimitsu asked his eldest son Yikang to marry Shiratori's long-term daughter as a condition, and let him inherit the land of Shiratori and Hanhejiang.

Such an operation is similar to the fact that the King of England would appoint his son as Prince of Wales, in order to appease the subjects of Wales.

Although it has been 10 years now, the marriage contract has not yet worked out, because Shiratori's long-term daughter is only 12 years old and has not yet reached the age of marriage.

Although Mogami Yoshimitsu intends to marry the Xiu family, he is also afraid that the people in the territory will have another accident because of his dissolution of his marriage contract with Yikang.

Of course, Mogami Yoshimitsu said that Mogami’s relatives can also be a good choice for marriage, but Yikang’s heir is Yikang’s. How can the younger sister of the Xiu family marry a second son with such an important political resource?
Is it the same as the ones in history, Tokugawa Ieyasu signaled Mogami Yoshimitsu to assassinate his eldest son, so as to make way for the Mogami family who married his daughter?
Xiujia thinks he needs to save face, and only the old tortoise can do such a nasty thing.

It seems that only Tadakashi Hosokawa can choose, but the Hide family really can't understand Tadakashi Hosokawa's attitude towards his wife who knows Yuko, so it is not sure if it is a good choice to marry Hazel to her.

On the contrary, Zhonglong is a good husband. Historically, his inheritance rights were abolished because Zhonglong refused to reconcile with Maeda Chise.He may be able to protect and love Hazel, but with such a snobbish and powerful father, Xiujia doesn't think Zhonglong and Hazel can live a good life.

Hidetoshi's funeral was held economically and grandly. The ceremony was held for 3 days and received unanimous praise from Hideyoshi and Zhiyunyuan.

If one had to say a fly in the ointment, it was that Hidehisa, as the eldest son, seemed unable to bear the burden of the family, and he stumbled in the preparatory ceremony of Hidecho's funeral, which attracted the attention of the nobles.

Fortunately, as the older brother, Xiuzhen came back from North Korea, and she ended the burden of hosting on the second day, finally allowing Xiuchang's funeral to be successfully completed.

However, Xiujiu's performance in front of the public also made some people call him "the big fool of the Gifu family" in private. Although the last daimyo with such a title almost unified the world, most people still think that Xiujiu is the real one this time. silly.

After Xiuchang's funeral, Xiujun's ceremony of joining Kobayakawa's house was also announced. Hazel cried for a long time after hearing that her good brother Xiujun was going to marry another wife, and Xiujun was also very sad because he could not be with Hazel.

Xiujia took this opportunity to take the initiative to appease Xiujun, saying that even if he could not become his brother-in-law, he would still treat him as a younger brother.

Anyone who knows Xiujun knows that although he is the son of the Kinoshita family, he was adopted by Hideyoshi when he was very young and was given to Ningning to raise him.

This guy Hideyoshi has always practiced father-bereavement education, and he rarely cares about his group.

Taking the Xiu family as an example, the one who cares the most for the Xiu family is Xiu Chang, which is also the reason why the Xiu family has such a good relationship with Xiu Chang after they grow up.

Xiujia may be able to find Xiuchang to make up for his lost father's love. There is no way for someone like Xiang Muxiang Xiujun, and Xiujia appeared when he was 7 years old, and has been by his side until now when he is 13 years old. He made up for his father's love and was naturally quite close to the Xiu family.

Originally thought that the brother-in-law of the Xiu family was very sure, even he himself did not expect that one day he would miss the fate of Zhenzi.

However, no one can disobey Hideyoshi's order at this time. He can only recognize Kobayakawa Takakage as his adoptive father in front of many big names, and agree to marry Komanhime, who is also 13 years old, and join Kobayakawa's family as his son-in-law and adopted son.

Returning with Xiuzhen were North Korean generals Toyotomi Hideji and Toyotomi Hideo. After all, their own uncle died, and they had to come back.What they brought back with them was the contract that had been changed by Wanli.

He didn't know the Wanli Emperor's ultimatum to him. On the contrary, he thought that this obvious concession contract was a kind of weakness of Ming Dynasty to himself.

Obviously, the previous battle of Wang Jing really made them see their own power, and now that the northern part of the Ming Dynasty is facing the Jurchen crisis, they have to show their favor to themselves.

He ordered North Korea's Governor Xiaoxi to continue to be in charge of negotiating with Da Ming.

In short, for Hideyoshi, he must bite off a piece of meat from North Korea, otherwise, wouldn't it be that he didn't earn any face or reputation at all by conquering North Korea this time?

However, what Xu Yiguan received was also Wanli's death order. If the Japanese army did not negotiate a peace, Daming would not mind first instigating Nurhaci, who had a grudge against the Japanese army, to attack Hamgyong Road.

After that, the navy cut off the sea, transported the elite Ming army to Japan itself, and carried out a conquest against Japan.

The biggest difference between Xu Yiguan and Shi Xing and Song Yingchang is that he is an out-and-out civil servant, advocating benevolence and righteousness to influence foreign countries, and not advocating the crusade against teachers.

He told Governor Xiaonishi about Wanli's attitude. President Xiaonishi knew very well that it was impossible to stop the Japanese army with the group of Japanese soldiers in North Korea who had eaten their meal. A shocking deception plan began in the minds of the two of them. brewing.
