Prime Minister Bizen

Of course Hideka knew what Toyotomi Hideji was in such a hurry to go back to. Now that both Hideyoshi and Hideaki had passed away, his actions were just to get the most benefit from this chaotic situation.

However, Hideyoshi is extremely passive now, because Hideyoshi died too quickly. Before, because Hideyoshi kept staring at him, many of his connections were forced to stop.

Now that Hideyoshi died suddenly, the Hideo family could count on two hands their trusted allies, and it was obviously not enough to rely on such a force to aspire to the top of the world.

The current military strength of the Xiu family is only more than 5 people even if the troops of Hamgyong-do daimyo are included. In addition to leaving the necessary stay behind, the number of people who can bring back 3 is already the largest number.

Even if such a number returned to Tango and the army of the Hosokawa family, the Hide family would not be able to face the clan army led by Hideji and Chacha at the same time.

Of course, there is also a relatively stable way, that is to take people back to Kanto, and move westward step by step from the northeast, Shinano, and Echigo.

It's just that it takes a lot of time, and no one knows how and how long the duel between Xiuci and Chacha will end.

If the winner was decided in just one day like Sekigahara in history, would he soon become Kuroda Rushui?

At this critical time, whoever controls the center can take the initiative in the battle situation. This is exactly the revelation that Hideyoshi returned to Hideo from China.

After Hideyoshi ordered the conquest of North Korea, many famous people from all over the world gathered in Kyushu Nagoya, or crossed the sea to North Korea.

Hideji, who is the front line generation, now has the same power as Hideyoshi in the past.The legion remaining in Gyeongsang-do and the troops remaining in Kyushu can easily gather an army of 10 people. His army is undoubtedly heading towards Kyoto like a shattered one.

Chacha was undoubtedly out of fear of Hideji, so she chose to hide the news of Hideyoshi and Hideaki's death and prepare for it in advance, and may even have privately issued an order to the Kyushu daimyo to control Hideji.

I don't know how Xiuci is preparing at this moment, how many reinforcements he has pulled down, and how many famous names are willing to join him.

At least in Xiujia's view, the current Xiuci undoubtedly surpassed Chacha in terms of power on the bright side.

If Xiuci really waited until after Xiuci devoured Kyoto, Xiujia and Xiuzhen would definitely become Xiuci's next target.

The Xiu family would not believe the nonsense that Xiuci said before about dividing the world equally, which is what Zhu Di promised Ning Wang Zhu Quan back then.

That is to say, under the current situation, when Hideji is strong and the Chacha Hide family is weak, it is in the Hide family's interest to support Shimaru to succeed temporarily as the heir of the Toyotomi family.

But don't forget that Xiujia and Xiuzhen are branded with the Noobi faction. If they cooperate directly with Chacha, not only will they not gain the trust of the Omi faction, but they will also be regarded as traitors by the Novo faction daimyo. I'm afraid it will be beyond my capabilities.

Therefore, for the Xiu family, the best way to operate is to become an independent third party to mediate the conflicts between the two sides, to obtain a short-term peace after the exchange of interests, to give the Xiu family sufficient preparation time, and to let the two sides have internal friction at the same time. In line with the interests of the show family.

Even if we take a step back, when a new third-party force emerges outside the confronting two sides, the balance of the battlefield will undoubtedly change. At this time, the three parties will check and balance each other, and the three parties will be afraid of each other. What is in the interest of the Xiu family is in line with the need for the Xiu family to spend more time preparing.

What are the advantages of show times?It was his status as the general of the North Korean conquest that gave him the right to temporarily command the North Korean army. In this chaotic time, everyone wanted to fish in troubled waters.

But Xiuci's authority is only temporary, and the longer the time goes by, the legitimacy of Shiwan will undoubtedly rise, while the legitimacy of Xiuci's raising troops will weaken.This is the time when the two sides are really fighting to the death.

It's not that Xiu's family doesn't want to be a fisherman and reap the benefits of both sides.The reason has already been mentioned before, the time to mobilize troops from the Kanto and Northeast to the south is too tight, who knows when this war will end abruptly?
If the Xiu family really chooses the second path and establish another imperial court in the Kanto, as long as the Xiu family is given enough time, the Xiu family is fully confident that they will be able to [Allow the World].

But to be honest, the Xiu family can't trust Xiuci. !
Hideka doesn't think that with Hideji's current ability, he can take down Osaka Castle. How could the fortified castle, which even Tokugawa Ieyasu couldn't take down in history, fall here in Hideji.

But I'm afraid that although Xiuji's side is stronger in the open, the foundation is too weak. Don't forget that there are Tokugawa Ieyasu, Uesugi Kekatsu and Maeda Toshiie on the opposite side.

Although Hideji holds an army of 5000, most of them are from other daimyo's army, and the one he leads is only [-], so it is easy to be divided and disintegrated. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a paper tiger.

I forgot that there is Tokugawa Ieyasu who is the best at connecting daimyos on the opposite side. If the daimyos under Hideji are really disintegrated by his internal communication, Hideji's downfall will only be an instant thing.

And at this time, if Xiu's family was still raising troops in Kanto, but heard the news that Xiuci had failed, wouldn't he have become Qi Wang Li Maozhen?

After much deliberation, the Hide family still decided to seek stability. On the one hand, they sent people back to Kanto on a fast boat. Knowing that Fujido Takatora and Toyotomi Hidetada prepared their army, if something happened to the capital, they could only retreat Kanto hit hard mode.

But if everything goes according to his own plan, and he can maintain this short-term peace under his agency, he can not only gain a huge reputation, but also continue to hide his strength.

If you want to become a member of the world, the most important thing is everyone's belief in yourself. Now in the entire Kanto, apart from the Hori family and the Asano family, Hideka has enough confidence to get the support of other daimyos.

Even in the Northeast, after losing Nakagawa and Gamo's family, with Xiuzhen helping him to control himself, he can be 7% sure.

But what about the whole world?Tachibana scattered in Kyushu?Shinano's Ikeda?Tsutsui of Mikawa?Or Kaga's Sakuma?
They are in an enemy situation, knowing that Xiu's family can't come to support immediately, can they stick to their hearts and wait for support?This is probably still a question mark.

After all, the daimyo itself is a person, not a code for a series of alliances in the game.

Of course, because Xiujia and Xiuzhen's army is generally dominated by the big names east of the unbreakthrough.

If they really want to have a fight with the Xiu family, and are willing to accompany the Xiu family, then they will inevitably surround the Uesugi and Tokugawa families. By that time, it is not impossible for the Xiu family to really have a wave of orioles behind them. , the most important thing is to grasp the attitude of these big names.

While the Xiu family was thinking about their future decisions, at this moment the dams from the Hamgyong and Gangwon provinces of North Korea belonging to the Xiujia and Xiuzhen regiments had more or less arrived in Anbyon. They were still ignorant of the situation, and they all turned pale with shock when they heard the news that Hideyoshi and Hideaki had both passed away from the Xiu family.

As the replacement boss Asano Nagamasa's son, Asano Yukinaga, because of his friendship with the Hide family, he was the first to ask the Hide family, "Has His Highness Kanbai ever left an order that there must be a war or peace in the Korean War?" statement."

The Xiu family shook his head helplessly and replied: "His Royal Highness Guan Bai died in a hurry, and he didn't leave a single word about the Korean affairs."

Yoshihiro Shimadzu, the daimyo of Kyushu, asked: "In this case, as the acting general, did His Highness Gifu know about this, and did he give any instructions?"

This is exactly what Xiujia wanted the daimyos to point out. Since Yoshihiro Shimadzu took the initiative to cooperate, Xiujia put on a distressed look and refused to reply.

It wasn't until the daimyo repeatedly asked about it, that the Hide family sighed and said to them, "Hey~His Highness Gifu sent someone to see off the generals of Gyeongsangdo, and declared that there is something strange about the story between His Highness Kanbai and His Highness Yamashiro Dainayan. We must lead all the great names into Luo to seek justice for Guan Bai."

"What!?" Everyone was somewhat at a loss when they heard the news. After all, everyone was living a good life, and it was really not to the point of rebellion as a last resort.

Sure enough, after the Xiu family finished talking about Xiuci's statement, everyone fell into silence again after a period of panic, but this time the silence was somewhat strange.

After a while, Takeda Hidenobu, who was born as a close servant of the Xiu family, spoke first, and asked the Xiu family, "What is your Highness going to do? Since we are assigned to your Highness, we will naturally obey your orders."

He didn't even ask Xiu family's opinion on the cause of Hideyoshi and Xiu Zhao's death, and directly stated in front of everyone that he would stand by Xiu family.

But he is only a small daimyo of 8 shi, and speaking here is actually meaningless. To Shimadzu Yoshihiro, he expressed his opinion, "Is there any misunderstanding here? There is no need for Mrs. Yodo to attack her eldest son."

This is the most unavoidable problem that Hideo thinks that it is difficult for Hideyoshi to set up a banner and raise an army. For Chacha, Hideyoshi is undoubtedly more in line with his own interests than Shiwan. The cause of death is all tied to Chacha?

Why is the Xiu family timid about returning directly to the Kanto to set off a third force? The reason is that they have no righteous status without absolute power.

After Shimazu Yoshihiro finished speaking, Kato Kiyomasa immediately stated, "The most important thing now is to establish the will of His Highness Kanbai. At the moment when the Korean War is not over, if there is another disturbance in the country, the country may be destroyed."

As for Naoe Kanetsugu, who is the representative of the Uesugi family, he said without hesitation, "This is a rebellion. I will Chen Shuluozhong as soon as possible, and tell you big brothers to judge the rebellion as soon as possible. At the same time, send people to contact other ruling daimyos. Don't go astray."

The daimyos are not stupid, like Yoshihiro Shimadzu and Kiyomasa Kato can see it clearly. If the interests are big enough, they may accompany you to fish in troubled waters, but such a covenant is the least binding.

With Xiuji's ability, maybe he still has to lick his face and beg to coax those big names. Their relationship is like floating sand, which will disperse when the wind blows.

Kiyoshi Kato can be regarded as a daring member of the thick-tailed faction. As long as there is a chance to weaken the Omi faction, he will definitely be the first to rush forward.

But just look at his statement, you will know that neither Kato Kiyomasa is willing to mess around with Xiuji or the Xiu family, which is enough to show how unreliable Xiuji's move is.

In particular, Naoe Kanesu's sentence "This is a rebellious thief" directly scared the ambiguous daimyo to soberness.

Following the statements of Shimadzu Yoshihiro, Kato Kiyomasa, and Naoe Kanetsugu, other daimyos such as Asano Yukinaga, Hori Hideji, and Satake Yoshinobu also expressed their stances one after another. Although they did not express their unwillingness to follow Hideji as clearly as the previous two, they also He expressed his wish to go back to Japan first to discuss.

This is the real attitude of the daimyo in North Korea at the moment!
They just want to go home. The situation of the Korean War has already exhausted everyone. If they can take them back, they will naturally be willing to go with someone.

But correspondingly, once they really return to Japan, these people will probably disperse seven or eight out of ten in an instant.

After all, after Hideyoshi's death, such things as political teams are not so casual. The daimyos are masters who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles, so they won't hand over the fate of their families so easily.

As one of the biggest daimyos in Tohoku, Mogami Yoshimitsu's attitude was the strangest. After everyone expressed his opinion, he repeatedly asked Xiujia about the credibility of what Xiuci said.

Although he didn't make a statement, judging from his attitude, it is very likely that he is inclined to encourage everyone to step down with Xiuci and Chacha's mother and son. After all, his daughter Juji married Xiuci and became Xiuci's concubine. related.

If Hideji is classified as a rebel this time, then his in-law relationship like Mogami's is very likely to be implicated
But after seeing the other daimyo more or less expressed that he didn't want to get involved, he could only suppress the restlessness in his heart and come to test the Xiu family's intentions.

Others such as Akita Miki, Tagaya Shigeketsu, Utsunomiya Hidetsuna and others have always followed Hideka's lead, and they expressed their support for whatever decision Hideka makes.

Date Masamune naturally has the same attitude, but his attitude is more of wanting to take advantage of the chaos, and it is not a big deal to watch the excitement.

As for Nobuyuki Sanada, Haruka Yuki, and Nobunao Nambu did not make a clear statement, but Hideka can feel their sway, as long as the benefits given are enough, there is naturally room for change.

The Xiu family counted with their fingers, and among the dozen or so daimyos in the shogunate, only 4% of them are willing to go with him. With such strength, it is impossible to coerce them into rebellion.

"In the final analysis, it still lacks the title of righteousness." Xiujia sighed helplessly in his heart.

After discussing and discussing, in the end, everyone's eyes were focused on Xiujia, and it seemed that he was going to make the decision.

After Xiujia thought for a while, he didn't try to persuade or confuse him too much. Instead, he said to everyone, "In that case, I'll take everyone home!"

After Hideyoshi's death should have been the climax of the book, but the author is not as popular as he wrote.

More importantly, I think Hideyoshi's ability after Hideyoshi's death really can't support the three-point world, and forcing the three-point world is like a YY novel.

From the beginning of writing this book, I tried to get as close as possible to the archetypes of historical characters. The ability of Xiuci has already been paved, and the whole is a replica of Yuan Shao.

If he really wants to rebel, it's a one-shot deal, and it won't create much time lag for the Xiu family. At that time, the Xiu family will be in hell mode, and they will have to face the siege of the sect that puts things right and the famous names in the world.

At the same time, I also noticed that many people are very dissatisfied with Hideyoshi's death. Actually, I really don't like spoilers, but that's the way of writing novels. The plot you write always has an author character.

More importantly, I think the wonderful political struggle of the Toyotomi family has just begun. Next, I will show you the political struggle between Xiuji, Chacha, Ishida Mitsunari, Tokugawa Ieyasu and Xiujia.

Let’s get to the bottom of it a bit. According to the outline, this volume is the penultimate volume, and the last volume has already been completed.

In other words, there are still about 200 chapters before the end, thank you for your support.
