Prime Minister Bizen

Hideyoshi's funeral was very grand, and there were a total of 800 monks who recited the mantra of passing away for him alone. This number is already the limit of a minister.

Almost all the daimyos participated in Hideyoshi's funeral, and even the emperor who was far away in Kyoto came to Osaka Castle to see Hideyoshi off for the last time.

At this time, the Toyotomi family still had a lot of authority, especially the support shown by the Hide family for the main family, and the strong cohesion shown by the Toyotomi family who reunited after a brief turmoil. Dare to refute the face of Toyotomi's family.

At this time, the daimyo's thoughts would not be on a dead person. They all spread rumors in private that the Hide family had joined the Hideji faction, and that the Toyotomi family would be dominated by the Hideji family.

Even the people on the side of the road began to spread the story of that day: "Even His Highness Toyoharu surrendered to His Highness Gifu, sooner or later this world will belong to His Highness Gifu."

"I heard that the Beizheng Institute invited some Toyotomi daimyo that afternoon, and at that banquet His Highness Toyoharu made it clear that he would support His Highness Gifu."

Some people also retorted, "But I heard that His Highness Toyoharu supports His Highness Gifu to unify the voices within the Toyotomi family, so that we can continue to assist His Highness Shuri together!"

It's just that as soon as he uttered this statement, the people around him responded with eyes like looking at a fool.

"There are no secrets in Osaka City" was what Xiujia had been saying before.But the story of the banquet at the Beijing Political Institute that day was so fast, it is absolutely impossible to say that there is no political force behind it.

After finally finishing the process, Hideya, who had worked hard all day without eating, was caught by Mitsunari Ishida.Apparently he came to the Xiu family to verify the rumors.

"Did Nayan forget the promise he made that day? How quickly did His Highness Gifu collude with you? I just don't know what kind of conditions His Highness Gifu promised you. After he gets a high position, will he be able to fulfill his wish?"

As Tian Hai said before when he brainwashed Xiu's family, Xiu's family definitely didn't want to be inferior to Xiuci.But he still has the heart to scare Ishida Mitsunari with this limelight.

"His Majesty Gifu is more capable than me. Although I became "Wakenyose" because of my merits. But there can only be one voice within the Toyotomi family, and I am willing to sacrifice for this, just as I tried my best to call on the two parties to sit down and talk.

But please rest assured Ishida Osamu, His Highness Gifu has promised me that he will guarantee the status of His Highness Shuri Toyotomi's family governor and Guan Bai. "

"He promised you!!" Ishida Mitsunari was obviously very angry with Xiujia. He was unwilling to believe that the Xiujia in front of him was such a political idiot. .

"The Ministry of Justice also please rest assured that my father has a great favor for me, and I will swear to the death to uphold the legal system of the Toyotomi family."

Although Xiujia made a promise, Ishida Mitsunari was obviously unwilling to continue talking with Xiujia, so he turned around angrily and left.

After Hideyoshi's funeral was arranged, taking advantage of the time before Hideaki's funeral, and the daimyos were still in Osaka, the authority of the five leaders headed by Hideyoshi, Hideo, and Tokugawa Ieyasu once again held an evaluation in Osaka Castle to confirm the expedition Kyushu judges the candidates for Konishi riots.

"Xiao Xi's rebellious minister was called by me. I can't believe that he would do such a rebellious act. Please entrust me with the task of crusading Xiao Xi."

The first to recommend himself was Ishida Mitsunari. This was an opportunity he had to fight for. Only in this way could he control a Toyotomi army belonging to the Omi faction in his hands to deal with unexpected events.

However, the result of this meeting was actually decided outside the meeting. After getting Hideka's support, Toyotomi Hideji went to Mori Terumoto and asked him to support him on the condition that he promised him a reward from China.

In fact, the security of Bichu Ikuni is the reward that Mori Terumoto promised to the Mori family when Shuji went to Luo before when he betrayed him the information.

But because he played so badly in the show, all the names of the Western Army were punished, and Mori Terumoto, a Chinese backup, couldn't stand it.

But the Mori family is the second in knowledge and action among the five big brothers, and Xiuji needs his support very much.He planned to take this opportunity to pacify Kyushu to give Beizhong to him in exchange for the support of the Maori family in the future.

And all of this was the suggestion that the old monk gave him.

Mori Terumoto, who accepted the promise, naturally stood on Xiuji's side and helped to speak: "The followers should do what the followers should do. Is the city of Diancheng repaired? The changes of names and the transfer of the Zhixing inspectorate all matter. Have you dealt with it? Don't always think about doing what the general does on your behalf."

"His Highness Jinwu said it is true." Toyotomi Hideji said above, "So I propose that a big man who is familiar with Kyushu affairs should be in charge. Kobayakawa Kingo is a good candidate."

Although he knew in advance that he would be in command, the still very young Hideaki Kobayakawa showed some embarrassment and bowed nervously to everyone.

"As for the legion, it doesn't even need to be dispatched from Kinki, the little Nishi family is only 17 shi, and the daimyo of Kyushu can encircle and suppress it by themselves.

It happened that many Kyushu daimyos were punished before.You can tell them that as long as they make meritorious deeds in this battle, they will be able to offset the punishment content set before, and those who have made great achievements will still be able to receive rewards. "

Anyway, the reward given is not in his show's territory, and he will not feel sad about how many shows he promises.It needs to be known that the total knowledge and practice of President Konishi is only 17 shi, and only 24 shi was promised to the Mori family before.

In order to deal with a small daimyo with 17 koku, the Toyotomi family may even post a reward of 40 koku, which can be said to be allocated to grandma's house.

Hearing that even Toyotomi's army in Kinki was not mobilized, Ishida Mitsunari lowered his head in disappointment, and then looked at Hideo on the stage, wanting him, the "Wakinen Yoshi" who had promised to maintain Hidetoshi's rule, to speak.

At this moment, the Xiu family didn't know that Xiu Ci had promised to the Mori family to prepare the territory, if he knew, it was absolutely impossible for him to remain silent.

Together with Bizen and Misaku, Bi China was the core territory of Hideka's former Kibi territory.

Compared with Bizen, who has been beaten to the bone and marrow because of the transfer, there are still many powerful samurai in Bichu and Misaku domestic showmen.

Just as Tokugawa Ieyasu used the local samurai on the land of Shunen San and Koshin to exert influence on the daimyo who were entrusted here in history, Hideka is also using these local samurai to influence the daimyo who were entrusted here.

Take the Okayama domain for example. If there is no Misaku, which is similar to Bizen Zhixing's territory, it is unknown how many daimyos in Hidehisa's hands can be the Torihide family. At most, out of friendship and respect, the requirements of the Hide family Give some support.

But now, under the leadership of Miura Hidekatsu, the Mizusamura warriors occupy a place within the Okayama Domain.

Although there was no effect in the previous Qingchang riots, if there is a situation where they want to confront the Xiu family, these samurai will inevitably become an important part of threatening the Okayama clan team.

The same is true for Beizhong, and the ones who are now sealed in Beizhong are all small daimyos like Kato Yoshiaki, whose knowledge and practice are only tens of thousands of stones.Xiujia can be the underground emperor in preparation.

But if Bichu is annexed by the Mori family, the size of the Mori family can completely digest the secrets that Hideka left in Beichu.

"It's not a problem for Jin Wu to be in command, but Jin Wu is too young after all. I think he needs to find two lieutenants." Xiujia said to the crowd after a moment of silence.

Then he looked at Hachisuka Housekeeper and Fukushima Masanori and said, "Let's let Awamori and Fukushima attendant take the second place. It just so happens that Fukushima attendant is going to transfer Higo from the West Country, so he just happened to get acquainted with his new collar on the way. "

When the two heard Xiujia's roll call, they all came out excitedly and responded "yes".

But this embarrasses Terumoto Mori and Teruji. It was agreed before that Terumoto Mori would be the deputy, but now your Xiu family has hired two other people.

Mori Terumoto looked at Xiuji, which clearly meant to say, "It's time for you to speak up brother, you can't let me dove again."

"After all, it's Jin Wu's first time in command. As an ordinary lieutenant, I'm still worried that I won't be able to assist him wholeheartedly."

As soon as Hideji finished speaking, he was interrupted by Masanori Fukushima, "Your Highness! I will swear to serve His Highness Kobayakawa to the death!"

Hideji was very unhappy by Fukushima's sudden interruption, but he was his ally after all, so he could only comfort him with a smile, "I know the ability of Fukushima's attendant, so it's better to let Fukushima's attendant take over." How about Pioneer?"

The vanguard is definitely not as popular as the deputy commander, but Hideji hardly gave Masanori Fukushima a chance to defend himself, so he said, "Going out to suppress the rebellion is a major national event after all, and it is better to have a big boss to lead the battle. I propose that His Majesty Mori who is nearby be in charge." A lieutenant general is more suitable."

No matter how absurd Fukushima was, he would not compete with Mori Terumoto for the position of lieutenant general.

What about Hachisuka's housekeeping?He has been looking forward to waiting for Xiuci to make arrangements for himself, but Xiuci arranged for his old Baijiang Chengding to be the military commander after changing hands.

Obviously, he was laying the groundwork for the same seal after the war. After all, preparing armaments is also a matter of great achievement.

Seeing that he didn't get anything, Housekeeper Hachisuka seemed a little bit disappointed. He is also a member of the Nooyu faction, so why don't you leave me a mouthful of soup when you eat meat.

Hideka noticed the change in Hachisuka's attitude towards housekeeping, and said, "It's not like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer, since it's the little Governor Konishi, it should be handed over to the people below.

I have no objection to Mao Lidian serving as the deputy general, but since he is the king's teacher, he must have the army of Osaka as a symbol.

I think the other lieutenant general should let Hachisukaden be in command, and lead the elite 5000 people of Osaka Castle to go out. The relevant samurai and ashigaru will choose half from the banner team, and then mobilize half from the leader.

As for the post of military equipment, why does His Highness have to compete with the people below? Since Ishida Jibu is so active, there is no harm in handing it over to him.He was in charge of the armaments in the previous Kyushu Pingding and Wenlu Battles, so I think he has experience. "

Xiuci didn't expect Xiu's family to disagree with him on such a "small" matter, he frowned slightly, and looked at Xiu's family with some dissatisfaction.And Xiujia responded directly with eagle-like eyes.

Tokugawa Ieyasu would be able to observe words and deeds. He had seen that Hideji had made changes to Hideo's proposal, but Hideo had not raised any objections, and was about to follow the trend to announce that he would follow Hideji's plan.

But now the situation has changed. Except that the deputy general of the Xiu family, Mao Li, has not moved, the other conditions can be said to have completely overturned Xiu Ci's plan.

Tokugawa Ieyasu, who doesn't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, rolled his eyes in his sockets, wondering what he was thinking about.

In the audience, Ishida Mitsunari and Hachisuka Jiazheng looked at Hideka with the eyes of a savior.

Hideo had to make a move. Although he could stand with Hideji on major issues, he still had to maintain the strength of Nobi and Omi as much as possible.

Although in his own opinion, the disintegration of the Omi faction has been irreversible since he joined the Noongwei faction, but this time cannot be too fast, otherwise the time given to him will be too short.

Correspondingly, Xiujia never forgot his purpose of infiltrating into the Nongwei faction, which is to use the tiger skin of the Nongwei faction to draw out his own team.

As the leader of the team, he naturally had to be nicer to his younger brothers.To put it bluntly, it is necessary to help the scene at a critical time.

In a situation like Hachisuka's housekeeping, if Hideka was pretending to be an ostrich, the team would completely disband.

Hideji, who was displeased by being stabbed in the back by Hideo, didn't want to show up in front of everyone.After thinking for a while, he retreated and said: "Abo took 3000 flags to the battle to serve as deputy. There are still many things to be done in the administration department, so there is no need to take up an important position in the Kyushu Army."

But the Xiu family was unwilling to back down: "The situation of 3000 people going out is more important than the meaning. Besides, the Korean peace talks are imminent. Soon these people will be able to meet the heroes who returned from North Korea. The small number of people shows that our Toyotomi family doesn't take it seriously.

I think the number of 5000 people cannot be less. As for whether Ishida Osamu is really too busy to take up the position of Kyushu, you have to ask him himself. "

Ishida Mitsunari, who saw Xiujia's statement, couldn't let go of this opportunity, and immediately responded: "I can take up the post of the Kyushu Army's military equipment."

Xiuci felt that he was about to be pissed off by the Xiu family, didn't they agree that the two brothers would keep pace, why did you turn your back and deny anyone?

He turned his body slightly to Xiu's side, and muttered in a low voice, "I have already agreed to let Awa be in charge. Is it necessary to mention Ishida again? And he is not one of us."

Xiujia naturally heard it clearly from Xiuji's mouth, and even Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was closest to the two of them, should be able to hear the general idea.

But Xiujia seemed to have not heard this sentence, and sat on it and said, "Jibu, you have to thank His Highness Gifu, Gifu is willing to agree to let you take up the post, this is an opportunity for the two factions to reconcile."

Ishida: "Huh?!"

Xiuci: "Ah!?"

Xiuci would never have thought that Xiu's family would be so ignorant of martial arts, and directly give him a complete slap in the face.Moreover, he also raised his face to be noble. Does he still have a chance to refuse in front of so many people?
Ishida Mitsunari also expressed his gratitude to him at the right time, making this arrangement an established fact, "Thank you Gifu so much."

Toyotomi Hideji couldn't tell why Hideji was justified, but today he was so full of evil fire from the Hideo family that he couldn't find a place to vent it.

Xiuci stared at Xiujia viciously, and cursed at him in his heart, "Xiao Hachiro, wait for me, don't let me take the opportunity, I have to repay you well."

However, the opportunity came so suddenly. After discussing the suppression of the rebellion in Kyushu, Tokugawa Ieyasu mentioned something that was not on the agenda before.

"His Highness Toyoharu happened to mention this matter just now. I really can't put it off after much deliberation. Why don't I just press this matter down." Tokugawa Ieyasu scanned the hall and said slowly, "His Royal Highness Kanbai has passed away, but Hijaya The war is still going on, who wants to go to North Korea to stop the war?"

Tomorrow *25th, stop for a day off
