Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 674 Amendment Disposal and Right System Arrangement

In fact, the Gamo family was not included in Hideyoshi's army, Hideyoshi used it as the guarding force of Nagoya Honjin.

But as Hideyoshi said, the Gamo family, which owns 42 shi in Sendai, has not yet completed the mobilization.

As for the reason, it is naturally because of the constant disputes among the retainers in the collar, and the young Gamo Hidehisa couldn't suppress the retainers below.

In fact, since Gamo's death in 1595, the bomb was delayed until this year, which has been delayed for a long time compared to history.

But can this matter really be blamed on Xiuzhen?

Although Xiuzhen is in charge of coordinating the arrangement of Tohoku daimyo, but the Gamo family also has this right, how can Xiuzhen control the Gamo family?

However, now that Xiuji wants to put this pot on your Xiuzhen's head, you Xiuzhen has to stand at attention and put it on, even the Xiu family is inconvenient to open their mouths to justify.

Hideyoshi said very sternly to the daimyos below on the stage, "After the self-doubt order was issued, there are still some daimyos who are obsessed with yin and yang, and set off small-scale crusades in various places (such as the territorial disputes between Date, Uesugi, and Mogami) ).

In the past, I had no experience in taking care of these things, but it doesn't mean I really don't want to take care of them. The reason why the Kamo family is difficult to mobilize this time is that the retainers under their command are in riots, even to the point of attacking each other.

Hideyoshi saw that the following daimyos were very resistant to his arrangement of directly reducing the seal by 1/3, and knew that such an arrangement was indeed a bit too much.

The Zhixing of Shirakawa County is more than 3 shi. In fact, it is the territory that Hideyoshi rewarded Toyotomi Hideyoshi when Ou was re-established. The loss of Shirakawa has little impact on the Koriyama Domain.

Moreover, big names like Xiuzhen and Date would never accept such an arrangement.

However, Shirakawa has nearly 4 shi, and Ishikawa has 3.5 shi. These two counties are the basic territory of the Koriyama domain. If these two counties are lost, the Koriyama domain may follow in the footsteps of the Gamo family.

But this time it was because of the heavy snow that blocked the mountain. You can't force the traffic because of the snow.

"Your Highness!"

To put it simply, the system of the five big bosses is equivalent to the cabinet, which is responsible for negotiating a handling opinion before Hideyoshi and presenting it to Hideyoshi for review.

Keikatsu Uesugi would not easily express his stance in the Toyotomi regime, Terumoto Mori was a stance that had nothing to do with him, and Toshiie Maeda was the last daimyo to express his stance.

"Sun Qi, Sun Qi, why didn't the closed door for the past six months make you crazy!" Xiujia complained weakly in his heart.

There are ten people under the five obediences, respectively written by Nakagawa Kiyohide (pen head), Toyotomi Hidekatsu, Toyotomi Hidehisa, Toyotomi Hidetada, Toyotomi Hideho, Hori Hideji, Ikeda Teruma, Fukushima Masanori, Kato Kiyomasa And Hachisuka housekeeping.

As for your unfavorable issue, I must deal with it. Now I have decided to confiscate your three counties of Baichuan, Baihe, and Ishikawa as punishment.

As the picture scroll was unlocked, everyone turned their attention to the picture scroll, and saw Maeda Toshiie, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Mori Terumoto, Uesugi Kagekatsu, and Kobayakawa Hideaki written in the place of the five big bosses.

And the positions of the seniors of the third middle school are Asano Nagamasa, Nakamura Kazushi and Horio Yoshiharu.

"Your Highness!" Xiuzhen had just opened her mouth to explain, but the Xiu family had already explained to Xiuzhen one step ahead, "His Highness Guan Bai, this year's northeast wind and snow are indeed more severe than usual. None of them have started yet.

As he spoke, he looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu and said, "Please trouble Suruga-den to go to the northeast and deal with the problem of the Gamo family."

After all, there is a sentence at the end of Hideyoshi, "Ten people are the substitutes for the five big bosses and the three seniors. The meaning behind it is naturally that if the first 8 people do not do well, they will be selected from the next 10 people to take up these positions. "

The five big guys have to use the collegial system to reach a consensus and confirm it before handing it over to me for a lottery, and after I confirm it, it will be issued to Wu Xing to carry out the facts.The elders of the third middle school have the principle of supervision and coordination, responsible for supervising the affairs of the five big bosses and the five chief executives, and at the same time coordinating the relationship between the world's big names.

As for the ten members, it is more like a House of Representatives, with Toyotomi's genealogy representative and pro-vassal in charge. They usually have no actual rights, but they have a very high political status within the Toyotomi family. A functional department acts as a constraint.

But the words have already been spoken, if you don't deal with the above names at this moment, wouldn't you be slapping yourself in the face?
He was silent for a moment and looked in the direction of Qiantian Li's house, wanting this old partner to give him a step down.

After hearing this, Hideyoshi said without hesitation: "The standard? What other standard is there? Everything is in accordance with the order of "Nothing to do, just change Yi Gamo's house!"

"Yes" Tokugawa Ieyasu bowed his head in response to the order, and then asked Hideyoshi about the scale of law enforcement.

The three middle-aged elders are equivalent to a semi-independent supervisory agency. Although the Xiu family believes that these three middle-aged elders cannot actually restrain the five big bosses, the Xiu family has formed a rudimentary form of separation of powers with the five big bosses and the five chief executives. up.

The confiscation of 3% of Zhixing is very strict. You must know that in the previous battle of Odawara, Hideyoshi only divided the arrangements for confiscating 1/3 of Zhixing for the late daimyo.

Everyone was surprised by Hideyoshi's arrangement, but Hideyoshi still talked about his policies on the stage, "From now on, all political affairs will be sent to the five big bosses for discussion and settlement.

But there is a traitor among the daimyos, which means there are daimyos who agree with me!What kind of mind do other people who disagree with it have?How can you let other big names talk back?
Toyotomi Hideji sat at the head, and didn't see the fiery gazes of Date Masamune and others sitting behind him looking at him.

As soon as Hideyoshi's words fell, the daimyo sitting in the table began to praise Hideyoshi's merits, and everyone could only praise Hideyoshi together.

How about just pressing this matter for the time being and depending on the results of the Korean War?If the results are outstanding, let it go, but if the results are few, how about doubling down on it? "

Seeing that many big names have expressed their opinions, Tokugawa, an old tortoise, also expressed his opinion, thinking that Xiujia's proposal is very good.

During the Warring States Period in Japan, the daimyo was regarded as the chairman of the group, and the following retainers were equivalent to shareholders. The chairman only had the right to govern the shareholders, but did not have the right to govern in a full sense.

Now that the imperial conquest is just around the corner, if they are punished for failing to meet their promises, I'm afraid I will hurt the hearts of the soldiers.

Just as Maeda Toshiie was about to speak, Toyotomi Hideji took the initiative to offer advice and said, "Maybe reducing the seal by 1/3 is too much, how about reducing the seal by 1/10 for the above daimyos? As for the rules of knowledge and practice, I leave it to Guan Bai to implement it." Divide!"

Hideyoshi saw that the arrangement for dealing with the daimyos in the Ou area had been decided, so he moved the topic to the next one.

Sometimes the Hide family really felt powerless, and the senses of the Toyotomi family among the daimyo were corrupted by people like Hideyoshi and Hideji.

At the same time, the five executions are not a formal title, but are actually the general term for the last five executions who were in charge of internal affairs for Hideyoshi in the Toyotomi Hideyoshi era.

For example, Nakagawa Hidemasa, the lord of Aizu, pleaded with Hideyoshi, and others such as Ikeda Teruma and Mori Tadomasa also spoke up one after another. Even Hideyoshi's confidant Hori Hideji also pleaded with Hideyoshi to forgive the Tohoku daimyo.

The envoys who were ordered by subordinates to contact and mobilize the various daimyos also injured several of them. It is really difficult to demand mobilization under such conditions. "

I just heard Hideyoshi say on the stage: "Since the 18th year of Tianzheng, I have been Guanbai for 7 years. During these 7 years, the world is stable and the people are prosperous (I have the face to say it), thanks to your help merit."

Hideyoshi showed a rather displeased expression when he heard Hideo's justification. He pointed his finger at Hideo and asked, "Does Fengchundian mean that I am making trouble for no reason?" (I don't even call Hachiro anymore.)
"I don't mean that," Xiujia explained, "it's just that the lateness of the above-mentioned adults is really justifiable, and they are the main force of this conquest.

But Hideyoshi's authority is here. If no one can speak up, everyone will acquiesce. But when the Hideyoshi is the first to push Hideyoshi back, there will naturally be a second or third person to come out to Hideyoshi." plead".

Then he said to Xiuzhen, "The big names that have been delayed this time, Anton, Yida, and the Nanfang families, are divided by 3% of the confiscated territories, and all the confiscated territories are collected into the land.

The Ten People is a special supervisory organization independent of the five chief executives and five executives. It is responsible for supervising the effective operation of the above systems, and at the same time acts as a substitute for the five chief executives and the senior members of the third middle school. "

The positions of the five honours are written by Maeda Genichi (writing), Ikoma Kisho, Ishida Mitsunari, Masuda Nagakatsu, and Tomita Kazushiro.

In the late Warring States Period, the daimyo's dominance gradually strengthened. After the establishment of the Tokugawa shogunate, the shogunate's disposition of the daimyo's disobedience gradually penetrated into the territory. At present, everyone is actually quite dissatisfied with Hideyoshi's disposal.

"Now that Jin Wu (Xiu Zhao) has already served Yuanfu, it's time to get in touch with learning government affairs. Just trouble the five big bosses and Wu Fengxing to hand over the daily government affairs to Jin Wu, and finally hand it over to me for adjudication."

After Hideyoshi's death, Ishida Mitsunari mostly used "Nianyose" for himself, meaning the old man in Toyotomi's family.

Hideyoshi said that here he stretched out his hand to signal the attendants on the side to unfold a picture album to everyone, and Hideyoshi talked about the picture album, "I plan to establish a Toyotomi power organization with the five big men and no obedience as the core."

Historically, during the Toyotomi period, there was no such thing as the Five Great Masters. The so-called Five Great Masters actually refer to the six super daimyos who made decisions for Hideyoshi when Hideyoshi was alive. Talents call them the Five Big Brothers.

I sealed the Gamo family in front of the land to protect the environment and the people for me. If I can't even do this, what is the meaning of the existence of the Gamo family? "

There was no objective reason at that time, and you will be punished if you subjectively fail to arrive on time.

Different from Hideo's helplessness, Hideyoshi on the stage seemed to have grasped at straws, and immediately agreed to such an arrangement, so there was a reduction of 1 shi for the Andong family, and 1.4 shi for the Date family. The family’s seal was reduced by 2 shi, the Qingjin family’s seal was reduced by 5000 shi, and the Koriyama family’s seal was reduced by 3.5 shi.

Not only Hideka and Hideji, but all the daimyos present stared at the list several times, and finally confirmed that Hideka and Hideji, the two strongest forces in the Toyotomi family, were indeed no longer on the list. .

Many daimyos didn't agree with Hideyoshi's handling before, so the problem lies with Hideyoshi. No matter how stubborn Hideyoshi is, he has to weigh the daimyo's thoughts.

This system is undoubtedly a clever plan to support Hideaki's long-term stability in the post-Hideyoshi era, even after Hideyoshi's death. It is hard for Hideo to imagine who came up with such an arrangement, and why it was not implemented in history.

In the history of the Warring States Period, due to various reasons such as eating, sleeping, falling on the road, etc., failures abound. If their own side wins in the end, they will be scolded by their own daimyo at most. It is difficult for daimyo to deal with the territories of retainers .

If the above-mentioned names have made meritorious service in the court war, the above-mentioned confiscated territories will be returned in full, and if there is another mistake in the court war, the punishment will be even heavier!"

After Tokugawa Ieyasu and Hideo expressed their views, people such as Toyotomi Hideji naturally did not wait and expressed their views one after another.

Xiujia frowned immediately when he heard the "ingenious plan" presented by Xiuci, what suggestion did this "smart guy" make at this time?
How can such an arrangement of dealing with daimyo be freely spoken?As the saying goes, the centipede is dead but not stiff, and the most feared thing in dealing with the change of the name is the resurgence of the ashes, but the relationship between the two families so far can be regarded as forged.

Although Hideyoshi is no stranger to the butterfly effect, it was only after a two-year delay that Hideyoshi heard that Hideyoshi was going to implement the system of five big brothers and five obediences. He also had certain expectations for the deviation between this system and history.

"However, now that I'm old and frail, there are many matters that I can no longer do by myself, so I thought of a way to make decisions on my behalf, and finally let me confirm the monogram."

Therefore, naturally there will be no so-called crimes of failure to deal with punishment in the history of the Chinese Empire.

Originally, everyone worked together to get rid of Hideyoshi's arrangements. This was a restriction on Hideyoshi's rights, and it was about to come to fruition, so you chiseled the boat.

However, Xiujia was still amazed when he saw how the power system had become like this.Compared with Hideyoshi's rough system in history, the current system is quite perfect, and even has a sense of the separation of powers system in later generations.

Of course, everyone is more concerned about the position arrangement of Xiujia and Xiuji at this moment. After all, none of the five big bosses and the third middle school elders have their names, and even the names of the ten people are not seen. How could this be Hideyoshi? political blunder?

Everyone felt that Hideyoshi must have a more important position to arrange if their names were no longer on the list given their size.

But when everyone was expecting what kind of arrangements Hideyoshi would make, Hideyoshi said to everyone for the first time, "I've talked enough today, I'm a little tired, so let's go~!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for everyone to salute and see him off, he walked out of the hall with the support of his attendants.
