Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 714
Although Xiujia still chose to endure temporarily, the anger in Xiujia's heart was very uncomfortable.

But as said before, Xiujia himself made a fatal mistake and disbanded the Kanto army in advance. Now there are only 1000 banners and 1 fan team with a total of 2500 people near Kyoto.

Such power is not enough to make the Xiu family turn against each other in Osaka City.This is the core of the Toyotomi family, not to mention that many daimyos and samurai who were changed before are still stationed in Osaka Castle. Before the transfer is completed, Osaka can still mobilize an army of 2 to 3 at will.

Xiujia is not angry with others, he is angry with himself.Obviously, he had done a good job all the way ahead, and he seemed to be able to control the power of the Toyotomi family, but he made a foolish move at the last moment, which caused the current offensive and defensive situation to change.

The whole banquet seemed to be a celebration banquet of the thick-tailed school. Xiujia just tried to smile and maintain an attitude on the scene, but in his heart he was not in the mood to eat at all.

But on the side of the Nobi faction, Hideji Toyotomi and Beizhengsuo burst into smiles when they saw that the Hide family had admitted their cowardice and were willing to return to this "big family".With the addition of the Xiu family, it will be even more effective in dealing with Chacha.

Toyotomi Hideji even stepped forward to pour wine for Xiu's family in person, "Please don't be offended by today's incident. You have been studying with me since you were a child. You know that you are a brother. You really don't have much culture. Although you speak rough , but the heart that is good for you is sincere."

Although Xiujia knew that he was lying, Xiujia could only cooperate with Xiuci to sing the brotherhood.

After finally finishing the meal with these people, the Hide family was already a little confused by Hideji, Asano Yukunaga, and others. With the support of Fujido Takatora, they returned to the mansion, and washed their faces with cold water to force themselves to wake up. .

"My lord, Fei Hou should still be in Cheongju at this time, and he still has 8000 troops in his hands. If he hurried to Suruga to see him off, he should be able to catch up with Zuowei Mendu. There are still more than 1 people there... "

Before Fujido Takahu finished speaking, Hideka reached out his hand to stop him from continuing.If he was still angry just now, he might actually order the two armies to regroup.

But now Xiujia is awake, knowing that these two armies separated by such a distance can't quench their thirst at all.

Now that the peace talks have just ended, the Xiu family's image is still upright.

Moreover, the big evaluation of the awards has not yet been held. Although the awards of the major names have been basically determined, they have not been notified.

The actual reduction, change, addition, and transfer of seals have not yet started, and the only card in Xiu's hand is the 265 million shi from Kanto.

The point is that at this time, the military power of Shimadzu Yoshihiro, Toyotomi Hidetada, Nakagawa Hidemasa and others who were around the Hide family has been disbanded. The current power of the Hide family is not as strong as when they were in Kyoto. Going down to Osaka City, it is tantamount to dreaming to win now.

The Hide family’s latest military force is 2500 in Kyoto, but Osaka Castle is the absolute core of Toyotomi’s family. Even if you don’t count those daimyos and samurai who are about to be changed and still stay in Osaka, there are 1.5 permanent residents in Osaka Castle. Thousands of flags are all in the crowd, and another 2 to 3 people can be mobilized at any time.

Xiujia dipped his head in cold water again, raised his head again after cooling the CPU for a while, and issued orders to the dark place: "It is impossible for the Beizheng Office, Sun Qi, and Asano father and son to have such wisdom, go and find out if it is Who taught them behind their backs."

"Yes" came a reply in the darkness, and then it was quiet again.

"Although I have disbanded the army, my status as the number one feudal clan in the world is unquestionable. In addition to the coercion of the two parties just now and the power of the sky, it stands to reason that no one will do anything to me at this time."

Hideka turned to Fujido Takatora and explained, "The conflict between Beizhengsuo and Yodohime can only disappear if one of them dies. It is actually a very unwise choice to oppress me at this time. Unless the other side clearly decides Me!"

"But why does he decide on me? Why does he think that I will never leave Osaka? The three people I know don't have such courage, not even Kuroda Rushui!"

"Is Your Highness really not going to leave Osaka?" Fujido Takatora asked in surprise, "I thought that since both the Beizheng Office and Mrs. Yodo regarded me as a factor of instability, I might as well go back to Kanto, why bother to be so useless here? .”

"Confused! This is Osaka! The center of the world! Before Toyotomi Hidetoshi was young, all orders in the world were issued from then on."

In fact, there is one sentence that the Hide family did not explain to Fujido Takatora. In history, Tokugawa Ieyasu was sitting in Osaka, using his status as a writing boss to coerce the emperor to make the princes.

In addition, with the skin of a writing boss, Tokugawa Ieyasu can directly communicate with the princes across the Toyotomi family. Even if the later marriage was reported by Ishida Mitsunari, it was just a light sentence "I am old, I forgot Rules.” Just a single stroke.

She is an old writer, you can't just let her daughter reconcile directly because she is old and has forgotten the rules. You will directly embarrass both parties!
"The two of us can't both be in Osaka City." After thinking for a moment, Hideka ordered Fujido Takatora, "It's getting late, so you can go back to Kanto tomorrow morning with an excuse, and arrange the work of accepting the new collar and delivering the old collar in advance.

And speed up the reform of the military system and the training of the new army, and expand the standing reserve to 12 reserve teams with 18000 people in case of emergency. "

Fujido Takahu nodded, and then asked the Xiu family: "The more than 1 people mobilized from Ezo to Fengchun City, are they going to be disbanded?"

"Arrange them to accept the Ibaraki Territory, and then split half of them back to Ezo, and the other half to stay in the Karatsu Oysterzaki Family Territory. Let people contact the 6000 people of the Ou tutelary fort, and control them as much as possible."

At this moment, the masters in Osaka may have forgotten that there are still 6000 preparatory standing guards in Ou's tutelary fort.

However, in this award, the territory of the Tohoku daimyo will undergo a lot of changes, the samurai of these Ou guards, and the daimyos to which the ashigaru belong will also change. timing.

At the same time, Xiuci, who returned to his mansion after the banquet was over, was talking with a monk by candlelight at night.

"The big thing is really a god, and that guy Hachiro really didn't dare to resist at all. He doesn't have the temper of the world's largest feudal lord hahaha!"

"I have known His Royal Highness Fengchun for many years, and I understand his temperament best. Although he is ambitious, he is the most timid, as was the case when Fengchen Guanbai was alive.

When he took control of the capital with his army and looked like he was devouring Osaka, I thought he was hiding his strength and biding his time when Guan Bai was alive.

But when there is such a big trend in the world, it's a waste of time to negotiate a peace!That proves that he is still the same Ukita Hideo family and has not changed at all. "

"The master is very right, but why does the master think that Hachiro will bow his head?"

"Toyoharu Hachiro, a stern and cowardly man. He wanted to control the court after Guan Bai's death, but he was afraid that he would offend everyone by being too strong, and wanted to be wise and safe, so he continued to wave these five big men The banner of authority wants to command the world.

It is precisely because he has such thoughts that he will never leave Osaka City.Because Osaka City is the basis for him to control the world. In Osaka, he is not only the number one vassal in the world, but also the hero of His Highness Xiuli's Waka Nianyo, who stabilized the Qingcho Rebellion. "

Regarding the old monk's words, Toyotomi Hideji asked quite disdainfully: "He is just Waka Nianyo, most of the five big bosses are not familiar with him, Moori and Tokugawa even have enemies with him, how could he listen to his orders."

"His Highness Gifu, don't rely on His Highness Qing Fengchun's operation! His original idea was to squeeze out one person from each of the big bosses and the middle-aged and old people so that he can arrange his own people to go up.

One of the big brothers, Asano, had a friendship with him, and if the Beizheng Office hadn't come forward, he would never have directly opposed him.Uesugi's loyal generation, who stick to their own hearts regardless of camp, are not easy to win over.

Mao Li's muddle-headed generation just borrowed the glory of his father and uncles among the big bosses.Only Tokugawa is not easy to get along with.However, Tokugawa has always understood the way to protect himself wisely, and he will not sing against him under normal circumstances.

In this way, as long as he is one of the big bosses, Mao Li, Asano, and Tokugawa do not object, wouldn't it be him who speaks for the Toyotomi court? "

Hearing the old monk's explanation, Toyotomi Hideji nodded half-understood and said, "I didn't expect that Hachiro Toyoharu is such a vicious person! Fortunately, the master took action in time, and this saved Toyotomi's family from hanging upside down." .

It's just that I still don't understand, since Hachiro Toyoharu is such a person, why should he be drawn into our side?Wouldn't that put a tiger by his side? "

The old monk pursed his lips helplessly, and sighed helplessly in his heart, "It's not because you are not capable, you need to use his Fengchun family's tiger fur fox to pretend to be a tiger!"

But it was impossible for him to say these words to Toyotomi Hideji. Just as he was considering what Hideji should say, there was a loud noise outside the house.
"Who! Dare to break into Osaka City at night!"

"Come here! Catch the assassin!"

As the sound of fighting ended, the outside of the house was lit up red with torches, "My lord, the assassins have been wiped out."

Xiuci opened the door of the house, walked to the wall corridor, and looked at a ninja who was crushed on the ground, and beside him were two other corpses.

"Did that woman Chacha send you to assassinate me?" Toyotomi Hideji asked sharply at the captured ninja.

Perhaps it was the movement in the Gifu mansion that affected the Banners on duty outside, and soon a samurai ran in from the outside and reported to Hideji, "My lord, the head of the Seven Hands Group, Horita Morisho, asked to see if something happened in the mansion. .”

Hearing the arrival from Osaka, Xiuci was not surprised but delighted, and ordered to the visitor: "It's just right, let him come and take the person away, so that the world can see that woman Chacha's despicable methods."

"Wait a minute" just as he gave his order, the old monk in the room stopped his order.The old monk walked from the dark house to the corridor, his face was very clear under the light of the torch.

The suppressed ninja looked up and saw the old monk's face, and felt very grateful, but for a while, he couldn't remember where he saw "you"

However, the expression on his keyhole was keenly captured by the old monk. The old monk froze for a moment, but soon came back to his senses. He quickly went down to the courtyard and drew out a samurai's samurai sword. The head of a ninja.

"Master!" Toyotomi Hideji wanted to stop it, but it was too late, so he could only praise the master, "Master's art of war is really sharp, and even a famous samurai might not be able to match the swordsmanship here. It's just why you Cut him off, instead of letting me use him to embarrass Chacha?"

"Because he was not sent by Osaka. Let's go in and talk about it!" The old monk returned the sword to the samurai, and Toyotomi Hideji waved his hand to let the corpse be taken away, and then followed the old monk into the house again.

"Didn't they come from Osaka? But this is Osaka Castle! Except for the ninjas from Toyotomi's family, who would dare to be so rampant!" Hideji asked puzzled.

"Since Toyotomi Kanbai unified the world, most of the ninja troops in the field have been restrained. Now, apart from the Toyotomi ninjas, only the Mori, Tokugawa, and Toyoharu families can challenge them."

"But I have no enmity with these three families!"

"It's not necessarily that they came to kill people, maybe it's because of the information."

——————————————————————————————

The Xiu family sent people out, and they waited all night without any news.

But this day is the big assessment day, no matter if there is any news, you should come back and let the Xiu family know, so that the Xiu family can get ready.

And in Xiu's prediction, Xiuci and Beizheng Institute did not have such a mind, but they did operate in this way, which means that they have someone behind them.

With Hideji's character, he would definitely continue to ask that person for advice after he got the upper hand. In addition, today is the big evaluation day, so they should have just met last night.

How could there be no news at all?
Since this is Osaka Castle, it is difficult for a famous ninja like Tsusue Sanzhicheng to hide here.

Therefore, the person who accompanied Hideo into Osaka was accompanied by a fan named Niimura Eiji. Hideo didn't know his ability, but a situation like this had never happened before.

The Hide family bid farewell to Todo Takatora, and went to the castle from Oteguchi alone, and met Toyotomi Hideji here.

However, perhaps Xiuci has long been waiting for Xiujia here.Seeing Xiu's family entering the city, he took the initiative to ask Xiu's family, "Did Nayan rest well last night?"

"It's not bad, please take care of Gifu Palace."

"That's right, but I didn't have a lot of rest last night." Toyotomi Hideji walked two steps forward and stopped Xiujia on the road, looked at Xiujia with squinted eyes, and spoke to Xiujia in a tone that seemed to be showing off. Jia whispered, "I met an assassin last night."

"Assassin!" Xiujia was stunned for a moment, thinking of the ninja he sent out yesterday, his eyes couldn't help but look back, "It seems that His Highness Gifu is all right, it's really a lucky thing."

"That's right, it's fortunate that the retainers put their lives to the rescue, so I was saved." Xiuci seemed to have got the answer from the Xiu family, and moved half of his body to make way.

But in Xiu's ears, Xiuci still said, "His Royal Highness Toyoharu should be more careful, this is Osaka Castle after all."

　This chapter was originally posted tonight.

　　But I saw a lot of opinions from everyone in the last chapter, so I posted it in advance.

　　In the last chapter, many people said that the Xiu family was a counselor, but the Xiu family had planned everything from the beginning, and it is impossible to cause trouble in Osaka City at this time and cause all previous efforts to be wasted.

　　When I was in North Korea, I was forced too fast by Hideyoshi. The Hideo family had no choice but to find a way to raise troops, but as mentioned in today’s chapter, the Hideo family now dare not give up Daban Castle easily, so they were caught Target pain points.

　　At the end of the first volume, the author said that this volume is a political drama, and you can skip it if you don’t like it.

　　All the readers here are from the perspective of God, and think that Xiujia, as the number one feudal clan, should not be manipulated by others.

　　But politics is a bureau, and it is normal for Xiujia to get caught up in it as a person in authority.

　　So far, I am still proceeding according to my outline, and I am not allowed to change the outline at this time.

　　From the beginning of writing this book to the present, I have said more than once: "This book is not a cool story. The protagonist is not from the perspective of God. You have to bring the environment in which the protagonist is in to think about whether the protagonist's response is reasonable."

　　In the previous chapter, the Xiu family was also a human being. They made a bad move and disbanded the army ahead of time for the sake of fame. In the end, their weaknesses were seized and oppressed.

　　As mentioned in this chapter, this is Osaka, not Kanto, and Hideka is reluctant to leave Osaka, so he can only be restricted by others.

　　But this is only temporary and things will change later.

　　In the end, who the old monk is will be revealed soon.

　　Finally, "I hope readers can be a little patient. Every time I make trouble, I can only spoil it in advance."
