Prime Minister Bizen

Kuroda Rushui is too ambitious. Historically, during the Battle of Sekigahara, he pulled up a team of ronin in Kyushu, almost conquering the entire Kyushu.

Afterwards, I told Tokugawa Ieyasu that I was attacking the daimyos of the Western Army for you, but in fact he also attacked the daimyos of the Eastern Army.

Out of the need to win over Kuroda and stabilize Kyushu, Tokugawa Ieyasu raised him up and put it down gently, just ordering him to live in seclusion.

But Hideka would never allow such an unstable factor to appear. Isn't Kuroda Rusui's performance not impressive enough this time during the Qingcho Rebellion?If it weren't for Kuroda Rusui's suggestion, Toyotomi Hideji probably wouldn't be able to make it to Settsu.

But it is also that Kuroda Rushui is too dazzling, and it is exactly the standard of the big tiger in the Xiu family.

"Gaiyi. Seppuku? Is it a little serious?" The one who spoke was Maeda Toshiie. Originally, as a faction of the Eastern Army, he would not speak for the daimyo of the Western Army.But the Xiu family set the tone so high from the beginning, it really made his little heart a little bit unbearable.

After his words fell, Toyotomi Xiuzhen yelled at him again: "The world has been messed up by these ambitious people, why is Zhong Nayan still being unfair to these people?
Yes, I remember.Your son led the Maeda Army across the border and stormed Kanazawa Castle.Even Toyoharu Dainagon's letters and the emperor's orders never stopped.You are afraid that the disaster of the Kuroda family will be implicated in your head! "

Toyotomi Xiuzhen's speech directly made Maeda Toshiie's blood surge. He pointed at Xiuzhen with one hand and looked in the direction of Xiuzhen.After all, in his impression, the attitude of the Xiu family before was to ignore the operations of the Maeda family.

But seeing that the Xiu family didn't speak to him for a long time, he could only defend himself: "I just think that the Kuroda family can be regarded as the descendants of the Toyotomi family tree, and Rushui also made contributions to the establishment of the Toyotomi family, so just change it directly. Is it too serious to order seppuku? Perhaps Ru Shui was provoked by others to commit such a wrong thing."

Although Asano Nagamasa, who originally advocated severe punishment, had a good relationship with Maeda Toshiie in the past, after he stood in line with Chacha, he naturally would not care about the past friendship.

He directly interrupted Maeda Toshie's explanation and said angrily, "Toyotomi Gifu was bewitched, and Kuroda Rushui was also bewitched. I dare to love the Western Army. The names here are all loyal ministers. So the Keicho Rebellion was caused by ordinary samurai below. Initiated?
I just heard His Highness Koriyama say that your son, His Highness Maeda, is also involved, right?I can understand protecting my son's heart, but don't forget your current identity! "

In the general framework of the Xiu family, the Xiu family did want to weaken the Maeda family, but it was definitely not at the moment when the peace talks were not over.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, the Xiu family quickly offered a helping hand and said, "His Maeda has always been kind-hearted, and besides, His Highness Kuroda and him are old ministers and colleagues, so there will inevitably be biases in our hearts, everyone, please don't be overwhelmed."

What Xiujia said seems to be defending Maeda Toshiie, but he didn't say a word about Maeda Toshinaga's attack on Kanazawa, and what he said was that Maeda Toshiie, as the five big bosses, favored Kuroda Rusui mean.

Which of the daimyos present here is not a former colleague of Kuroda Rusui, and you, Maeda Toshiie, are amazing to help him speak out, are we all bad guys?

Hearing these words, Maeda Toshiie was so angry that he turned his head aside and chose not to talk about it in the following discussions.

Maeda Toshiie stopped talking, and the others would naturally stop defending those "rebels".On the contrary, Xiujia continued to say, "We are just proposing a basic plan.

After all, it involves the punishment of both daimyos. This matter is not the final decision. We will meet with both parties separately later to determine the final punishment plan. "

After the Xiu family's speech ended, the five big bosses and the seniors of the third middle school began to express their opinions, and soon the first draft of the punishment list related to the daimyo was released.

First of all, on the side of the Western Army, Kuroda Rushui was asked to perform seppuku as Toyotomi Hideji's scapegoat, and the Kuroda family changed.Toyotomi Hideji will be asked to transfer the 20 koku territory of Ise Ichikuni.

Toyotomi Hideho transferred 10 koku from Wakayama Castle to Ise Nagashima 5 koku.

The politicians of Ryuzoji Temple reduced the seals from Bankoku to Hizen Bankoku by 15 shi, and the main city, Saga Castle, remained unchanged.As the elder of the Ryuzoji family, Naoshima Naoshima was asked to be independent, and he received 7 koku from the small town of the Ryuzoji family and the two counties of Fujitsu.

In fact, everyone knows that Naoshige Naoshima is now in power in the Ryuzoji family.Naomi Naoshima was also the main commander of the Western Army.

However, the Xiu family reduced the title of the Ryuzoji family by half, and instead allowed the initiator Naoshima Naoshige to become independent and obtain a superficial seal, in order to cause Nabeshima and the Ryuzoji family to cause conflicts in Hizen.

In this way, Naoshima Naoshige had to find a backer among the big bosses, and the two daimyos who were close to him were all allies of the Hide family, so he was likely to get close to the Hide family.

Therefore, although it is to punish the daimyo in name, in actual operation, there are many dirty things hidden in it, but this is politics.

Motocho Tosa Yoshikawa was also named by Ishida Mitsunari and others many times. In the mouth of the Eastern Army, he was a rebellious minister comparable to Toyotomi Hideji.

According to the principle, at least he would be guilty of the same crime as Kuroda Rushui, but with the help of Mori Terumoto, he was divided by the arrangement of transferring 5 koku to Fengqian Xiaokura.

The other main force, Kobayakawa, fought in the Western Army to help the daimyo restore the country.But as a daimyo, Hideaki Kobayakawa did not participate in it.

On the other hand, the Hide family promised to restore Hideaki Kobayakawa to the country, and defended him on the grounds that Hideaki Kobayakawa was framed by treacherous officials in Osaka during the Korean War.

This matter was unanimously approved by Terumoto Mori and Nagamasa Asano, but it was strongly resisted by Jingsheng Uesugi and Ieyasu Tokugawa.

Uesugi Jingsheng's character is understandable, but why Tokugawa Ieyasu resisted Kobayakawa Hideaki's return to the country is really puzzling.

In the end, it was decided to balance the merits and demerits. On the condition that the old Kobayakawa family who participated in the riots was involved in the seppuku, the Kobayakawa family returned to the country in Buzen and received 13 koku of Buzen Nakatsu, which was greatly reduced compared to the original Chikuzen 50 koku.

Huiqiong of Anguo Temple was reduced to 3 shi in Buzentagawa County. As for the remaining sporadic territories of about 5 shi, the Xiu family planned to give the Maori family a sweet date to eat.

This is equivalent to letting the Maori two rivers and a half return to the Maori system, and the Buzen Kingdom has been granted to the Maori family.

Tosa Nagamune's family believed in relatives, Zhixing was reduced by 1/3, part of Iyo's territory was removed, and only the West Tosa Banguo was retained.Masanori Fukushima was originally required to transfer 12 stone from Hoki Yonago to Hinata Miyazaki, and Zhixing was reduced by 1/3.

This is Kato Kiyomasa's territory, and with Fukushima Masamori's transfer, Kato Kiyomasa is bound to get a round of seals.

Other daimyos such as Awa Hachisuka, Ukita Kanke, Koide Yutaka, Tachibana Soshige, Harada Tosho and others suggested that they should put in more effort in the next reconstruction of Osaka and Kyoto as punishment.

On the side of the Eastern Army, Governor Konishi, who violated the truce order, was ordered to be beheaded in Liujo Heyuan, and Konishi's family changed.

This matter concerns the emperor's face, and it was insisted by Konoe, who had never said a word before.

The other big bosses were not familiar with Governor Konishi at all, so naturally they would not offend the Emperor for the sake of Governor Konishi, so the treatment of Xiaonishi was decided without any discussion.

Next is the disposal of Ishida Mitsunari, Masuda Nagamori, Maeda Gengi, Otani Yoshitsugu, Sengoku Hidehisa, Kato Yoshiaki, Wakisaka Yasuji and others.

To be honest, dealing with the daimyos of the Eastern Army is the most cumbersome, because they don’t have any particularly big daimyos here, they are all small shrimps of tens of thousands of shi, so the roster transcribed by the Eastern Army is much longer than that of the Western Army. 01:30 o'clock.

The seal of the Maeda family was reduced to 2 shi, and the seal was changed to Hanoi Iimori Mountain City.His son, Maeda Hideo, was granted the knowledge of 2 koku of Tamba Kameyama Castle for his meritorious service.

Masuda Nagamori reduced the seal from 10 koku from Yamato-Koriyama (including 3 koku from Bungo, Kyushu) to Izumi and Geshan 5 koku, and Ishida Mitsunari reduced the seal from 12 koku from Omi Sawayama Castle to Settsu Arioka 7 koku.Otani Yoshitsugu was transferred from Echizen Tsuruga 5 koku to Settsu Takatsuki 5 koku.

Xianshi Hidehisa, as the general of the East defending the Hideka, was also the deputy general of the previous Akashi defense line. Instead, he was deprived of Hoki's ability and was sentenced to exile again.

Kato Yoshiaki was asked to transfer 5 koku from Usuki Castle, Kyushu from Beizhong, and many other small daimyos had their seals reduced and changed, but it was just because Zhixing was too small to make a detailed list.

If one were to say that the most innocent of the Eastern Army, it would probably be Katagiri Kamoto.When discussing the root cause of the Keicho Rebellion, he was directly pulled out and labeled as the source of the disaster as Hideyoshi's valet.

The reason is that as Hideyoshi's close minister, he couldn't even confirm Hideyoshi's last words before his death, and he couldn't assist the prime minister and Mrs. Yodo to stabilize the court afterwards, so that there was an internal attack from Toyotomi's family.

Unlike President Konishi who was asked to pull down Liujo Kawara and behead him, he was allowed to retain the dignity of a samurai, and the bosses unanimously agreed to ask him to apologize by harakiri.

This is something that can't be helped. The Xiu family wants to kill Chacha, but who does she have the right to immunity?She can only let the retainers below suffer for her.

When the disciplinary list of the five big bosses, the three seniors, the three members of ten people, Hideka, Konoe Maeku and others was presented to Toyoharu Hideji and Ishida Mitsunari, both sides expressed their resistance. Attitude.

Needless to say on Xiuci's side, he puts his own knowledge and behavior above all else, and he wants to reduce his 20 shi all of a sudden, how could he agree?
And his deputy, Kuroda Rusui, turned black when he saw that he had to cut his own seppuku, and the Kuroda family changed the conditions. After seeing the resistance of his boss Toyotomi Hideji, he also expressed the boss's treatment of the Western Army. It is too harsh.

But when the Xiu family came up with the disposal of the Eastern Army, Kuroda Rushui believed that the bosses had really leveled the bowl of water after seeing the conditions of Governor Konishi's beheading and Katagiri Kamoto's seppuku.

At this time, he probably knew in his heart that he might have to die.Of course, he also said that he can die, but I am afraid that many big names will not accept this treatment, and he wants the big bosses to be lenient and benevolent.

His purpose of doing this is to use his own death to seek favors from other daimyos, to speak for the Kuroda family, and eventually help the Kuroda family to restore their daimyo's status.

And Toyotomi Hideji also expressed his position to speak for Kuroda Rusui. After all, he also knew that if he followed his subordinates in exchange for such a cruel solution, his reputation on the daimyo's side would really be stink.

He was even willing to accept a reduction of 20 shi in exchange for lenient treatment of the Kuroda family.

In the end, Hideka agreed to his exchange request, and exchanged for the life of Kuroda Rushui with 20 shi from Ise Ichikuni, but he had to go to Koyasan to become a monk. At the same time, the Kuroda family was transferred from Buzen Nakatsu 14 Bungo Chuzuki built 4 stones.

Fukushima Masanori also jumped up naturally, he said why he was reduced but Tachibana Muneshige and others were not?

Xiu Jia immediately said, "They reined in the brink in time and participated in the subsequent riots, so the bosses decided to give them a lighter punishment."

Masanori Fukushima immediately said: "Then why Hachisuka's family management was not dealt with, he participated in the subsequent battle."

"Because His Highness Tokushima is one of the ten people, and although he participated in the subsequent riots, he did not perform particularly out of line from the beginning to the end, and he did not show bravery on the battlefield." Xiujia responded.

Housekeeping Hachisuka would never have imagined that one day he would be given a light sentence for paddling in battle.

Masanori Fukushima, who was sitting below, was obviously not convinced: "I am also one of the ten people!"

"That's why His Highness was transferred and kept 12 shi. Your guilt is not much lower than that of Kuroda Rushui!" Of course, the Xiu family did not forget to throw this pot to the Eastern Army.

"This is also the meaning of Osaka. If you are not severely punished, it will be difficult for Osaka to agree to peace talks. This is already the best condition I have won for you!"

In fact, what Xiujia said is convincing. After negotiating with Toyotomi Hideji, when Xiujia took the five big guys to talk to Ishida Sancheng, Ishida Sancheng beheaded Konishi and Katagiri. And the matter of yuan harakiri is argued with reason.

In addition, he also used the reason that the Xiu family dealt with too few generals of the Western Army as an excuse, thinking that the Xiu family deliberately favored the Western Army.

I don't even look at the composition of the daimyos of the eastern and western armies. Most of the western armies are daimyos with more than [-] shi. Every time one is cut off, it's the presence of medicine and vibration in places that hurt muscles and bones. Don't be more cautious.

However, most of the big names on the Eastern Army's side are only about 1 to 3 shi, so there is no pressure to change them.Besides, the reduction of 10 shi by the Kuroda family of the Western Army is comparable to the reduction of 5-6 daimyo Zhixing by the Eastern Army. You can’t just look at the quantity and not the quality!

Finally, Ishida Mitsunari even pointed to Ukita's commentator and said, "Your Highness said that the ten people would be pardoned, so Hachisuka and Fukushima were given lighter punishments, so what about Sanuki Ukita?

As the humerus of the Western Army, Yu Xita not only supplied food but also ships and armaments. Why can they preserve their skills? Could it be that His Highness deliberately favors them! "

In fact, everyone deliberately didn't mention Yu Xiduo's troubles at the meeting. Perhaps everyone deliberately avoided the famous name of the Xiu family's relatives and relatives. It would be unreasonable for others not to mention his Xiu family to dismantle his cousin's platform.

But now that Ishida Mitsunari has named him, Hideka has to make a statement, "Then Ukita will be transferred to Anfang Kateyama for 5 koku, and 13 koku will be reduced. I wonder if Jibu is satisfied with this treatment?"

Ishida Mitsunari obviously didn't think that Xiujia would be easy to retreat. He originally wanted to use Ukita to threaten Xiujia to deal with Dongjun daimyo lightly.

Unexpectedly, Xiu's family directly slashed on his cousin's head, and chopped nearly 3/4 of it, even more ruthless than Yoshikawa Motocho and others.

Ishida Mitsunari fell into silence for a while. After a while, he still said that it would be difficult for him to take him back to Osaka under such conditions. He hoped that the five big brothers could show forgiveness again. For this reason, he was willing to behead Konishi and Katagiri Kamoto and confiscate the territory.

At this time, it was time for Konoe to talk to Tokugawa Ieyasu a long time ago.Konoe made it clear a long time ago that Governor Konishi violated the emperor's order and must be beheaded.

Even if they are dealt with leniently, just like Ping Zongsheng and Ping Qingzong's father and son, after committing seppuku elsewhere, the head will be sent to Liutiao Heyuan for public display.

In short, the label of Xiaonishi Xingchang's rebellious minister has been marked.It was Tokugawa Ieyasu who spoke up. He said that after all, Governor Konishi has merits from Joseon, and North Korea’s merits have not yet been rewarded. If he can get the emperor’s amnesty, he may be sentenced to a penalty of confiscation of knowledge and practice.

As for Katagiri Kazumoto, his pot is indeed a bit big. As Hideyoshi's close minister, Hideyoshi's death was heard from Chachakou.Afterwards, it was true that the prime minister did not take good care of the young master and Chacha, which led to the situation, and seppuku was the inevitable result of being a close minister of the lord.

Ishida Mitsunari still wanted to fight, but Katagiri Kamoto gave up by himself.He stopped Ishida Mitsunari and said, "After His Royal Highness Guan Bai passed away, the servants should go with Guan Bai. It was just that the situation was critical at that time, and I couldn't bear to abandon the young master, so I just lived on it.

You adults are right.As a close minister, it is my fault for not hearing about the lord's death, so I will go down and ask the lord in person! "

It has to be said that Katagiri Kamoto's statement is quite samurai, and even Hideka who wanted him to die was moved by his attitude.

Soon as the disposal of the daimyos involved in the case was established, the draft was read out among the daimyos present at the meeting.The names of the Western Army who were reduced all cried and begged for forgiveness, while the Eastern Army was relatively calm.

Perhaps it was because their agreement still needed to be sent back to Osaka for Chacha's final confirmation, so they had a glimmer of hope in their hearts.
