Prime Minister Bizen

Even when Nakamura said he would vote, he was still full of confidence.

Because Xiujia has not expressed his position since the very beginning, and those people under him will not easily express their position without expressing their position. According to abstentions, I still have more votes than Tokugawa in Xiuci.

This political struggle is also extremely tense and important for the Omi faction. Although they were informed last night that they will win today, the days when they were suppressed by Hideka and Hideji left them somewhat lacking in confidence.

Now, with Kazu Nakamura's proposal for a vote being confirmed by Chacha and Beizheng, it also heralds the beginning of the Omi faction's counterattack.

"Please raise your hand if you agree with Gifu Nagon's plan."

As Xiuli approached the pen, Choji Ono, who was in charge of recording the content of the evaluation, fell, and the hands of the Xiuji camp raised their hands in unison.

Toyotomi Hideji, Toyotomi Hidekatsu, Toyotomi Hideho, Mori Terumoto, Asano Nagamasa, and Hori Hideharu raised their hands in unison.

Toyotomi Hideji looked at each of the daimyos who raised their hands, and nodded in satisfaction.Although he was stunned when he saw Hachisuka's housekeeping did not refuse, he just glanced at him angrily, and crossed him out of "the book of confidantes".

Seeing Hori Hideji raised his hand again, he nodded in satisfaction, thinking that today's matter was basically settled.

Because of today's plan, he had talked with Hori Hideji and Hosokawa Tadakashi before, and both of them clearly expressed their support for him at that time.

But today, only Hori Hideji raised his hand, and Hideji was a little bit dissatisfied with the attitudes of Hosokawa Tadanobu and Hachisuka's housekeeping.

In fact, both of these people had to raise their hands just now, because they were greeted by Xiuci before.

And regarding the distribution of Jeju Island, I didn't see the Xiu family showing obvious resistance just now.

But when Hachisuka's housekeeper was about to raise his hand, Toyotomi Hideyoshi who was sitting next to him pressed down the hand he was about to raise.

Tadake Hosokawa who was sitting across from him was such a shrewd person, even raising his hand was half a beat slower than others.He clearly saw the action of Xiuzhen pressing Hachisuka's housekeeper on the opposite side.

In just half a second, Hosokawa Tadashi's brain had already completed the analysis "Junshan Palace is closely related to Fengchun Palace, and the meaning of Junshan Palace is the meaning of Fengchun Palace. If it is just neutral, there is no need to force others to vote. Something is wrong."

Thinking of this, Tadake Hosokawa withdrew his half-raised hand, and only 6 people agreed at the final count.

Although the total number of votes is only 1/3, Xiuji thinks it is enough. How many votes can the old Tokugawa tortoise win?Even if you add Uesugi Jingsheng and Nakamura Kazushi, there are at most 4 votes.

Afterwards, Nagaji Ohno said, "Please vote if you agree with the Tokugawa Uchifu plan." Tokugawa Ieyasu, Uesugi Kagekatsu, and Kyoko all raised their hands decisively for the first time, and Nakamura Kazan raised his hand after thinking for a moment.

The tense atmosphere on the side of the adherents was also discouraged when they saw that only 4 people raised their hands. "As expected, His Royal Highness the Xiu Family remained neutral in the end?"

Unexpectedly, at this time, the Xiu family who was sitting in the upper position said, "His Royal Highness's suggestion is really a good plan to worry about the country and the people. As a daimyo, it is true that we should not have independent diplomacy with foreign countries, and diplomatic matters should be left to the world." Let someone do it." After saying that, he raised his hands.

As Hideka raised her hand, Hideyoshi was the first to follow, followed by Tsutsui Sadaji, Ikeda Terumasa, Horio Yoshiharu observed the vote count and raised her hand decisively.At this time, a total of 9 people agreed with Tokugawa's plan.

Tadake Hosokawa thought about it for a moment, and seeing that Hideka's situation was crushing, he also raised his hand. The votes were 10:6:2, and Hachisuka Housekeeper and Kobayakawa Hideaki did not raise their votes.

"Hachiro, you!" Asano Nagamasa on Hideji's side was the first to be surprised when he saw that the situation was reversed because Hideka stood opposite him.

His eyes flicked back and forth between Xiuci, Beizhengsuo and Xiujia, and he found that Beizhengsuo also showed incomprehension in his eyes, while Xiuci showed an angry expression.

10:6:2 The result of the vote has come out. As Nagaharu Ohno recorded the result, Ieyasu Tokugawa, who presided over the meeting, announced the final plan on the disposal of Jeju Island.

This kind of result was not acceptable to Hideji, he stood up from his seat with a "snag", clenched his fists as if he was going to get angry, if eyes could kill, at this moment Hideo and Tokugawa Ieyasu would have died long ago Die again.

But in the last show, I still endured it, and it was a tacit consent to the current result.

He originally thought that it was just Xiujia's petty temper towards him, but who would have thought that today's entire issue would lose his control when Xiujia + Tokugawa Ieyasu had an absolute majority of votes.

After that, Hideka and Tokugawa Ieyasu sang and led the way about the rewards of the daimyos in the Korean War and the Kyushu pacification daimyos.

For example, Tokugawa Ieyasu had no objection to the matter he had originally discussed about rewarding Bichu to the Mori family.But under Xiujia's statement, he said that he could give Mao Lifeng the first half of the country as a resettlement.

"In order to vacate Fengqian, His Royal Highness Kobayakawa Jinwu cooperated with the transfer of 15 shi to Wakayama."

For this request, Xiuji instinctively wanted to object, but the next words of the Xiu family blocked his mouth again, "Toyotomi's attendants cooperate with the transfer of 10 koku to Tanba Bashang Castle."

Because of Kato Kiyomasa's contribution to the Joseon War, Hideka said that he could be given a reward of 20 koku for Higo, and Fukushima Masamori's original Hinata leader can also restore the standard of 15 koku by virtue of his contribution to attacking Uto Castle.

Tachibana Muneshige, Nabeshima Naoshige and other daimyos were exempted from their previous punishments, and Hachisuka Housekeeper was restored to Apod Island with 12 shi and a 5% seal by virtue of his contribution to suppressing the chaos in Kyushu.

If it was said that Hachisuka's housekeeping was swinging between Hideka and Hideji before, after this evaluation, Hachisuka's housekeeping has officially witnessed the level of Hideka's political operations.The key is to restore part of his territory, which is a real favor from him.

Ishida Mitsunari is worthy of being the most trusted daimyo of Chacha. With the contribution of the North Korea and Kyushu campaigns of food, fodder, and military equipment, he was allowed to obtain the territory of Bungo Kingdom Oita, Ono, and Zhijin counties totaling 15 shi, which is equivalent to owning Bungo half country.

This is Tokugawa Ieyasu who greeted Hideo before, and originally wanted to award him 10 shi of Yamato-gun Mountain Castle.However, it was rejected by the Xiu family for the same reason as the previous relocation of Toyotomi Hideho to Yamato Koriyama was rejected by the Xiu family.

Of course, perhaps as compensation, Chacha sealed him an additional 5 stones, so that his stone height was 3 stones higher than before the Qingchang Rebellion, directly doubling the distance from Zhixing after the reduction of the seal.

If the previous award shows can be tolerated, the award about Ishida Mitsunari completely made him fry.Without giving any face, he said that he would never accept Ishida Osamu's reward, and even labeled Hideo and Tokugawa Ieyasu as "chaos".

Reasonable and chaotic politics did not start with Hideyoshi and Tokugawa first, and the problem of unequal rewards has been planted since the Hideyoshi era.

In the end, under his fierce struggle, the jungle county did not all belong to Ishida, but 3 shi were scraped out to reward Kuroda Nagamasa.

Not to mention that Toyotomi Hideji was unwilling, Ishida Misato himself was not very satisfied with this award.Of course, what he is dissatisfied with is not the lack of knowledge and practice, but the fact that the territory has been moved from the rich Kinki to the remote Kyushu.

Fortunately, his fifth position was not deprived, and he did not directly discredit Chacha in the evaluation.As for how Chacha would comfort him afterwards, that was not the Xiu family's concern.

Why did the Xiu family move Ishida Mitsunari to Kyushu? It was because the Xiu family wanted to clear Kinki Tibet and enter the land.Sweep out all the daimyos who are not allies, whether it is Chacha's Omi faction or Hideji's Nooo faction, so that he can control Kyoto and Osaka.

And Ishida Misachi was the first sword slashed by the Hide family, and in the name of making meritorious service rewards, he removed his fiefdom from around Osaka.

The Toyotomi regime required that all daimyos not be ordered to leave their fiefs at will.As for daimyos who have positions in Kyoto or other areas, they can apply to the Toyotomi family for a request to return to the territory for no more than half a year to manage their skills.

For the Kinki daimyo, the trip was only a few days away, and Ishida Mitsunari, who was the Gobuki, didn't even need to make a report, and he could go back to his current Arioka Castle directly in the name of the Kobuki patrolling the territory.You can travel to and from Osaka within 1 day.

But if his skills reach Kyushu, it will take as little as 10 days to go back and forth at the fastest, and 4 days at the fastest by boat.He can't just go back and forth to Daban and Osaka.

And once the Toyotomi family asks for leave, they will return to the territory of skill management as a daimyo.As a daimyo, one has to maintain one's own guard of honor, and it is impossible to be as light and simple as enshrinement. It takes less than a month to even go back and forth.

Sealing the important officials of the Omi faction from Kinki to far away is a crucial step for the Xiu family to weaken Chacha's arm.

However, the Xiu family's thoughts were not fully realized. Afterwards, Chacha didn't know what he had discussed with Ishida Mitsunari. Ishida Mitsunari directly came forward and wanted to exchange 2.5 shi from the jungle county for himself a nearby Zhixing in Kinki. Was explicitly rejected by Xiujia.

The next day, even Ieyasu Tokugawa came to discuss with Hideo in person. At this time, Hideo and Tokugawa were still in the honeymoon period.It is impossible for Xiujia not to sell Tokugawa Ieyasu's face.

Hideka could only agree to the request to exchange 2.5 koku from Ono County for 1 koku from a valley in Settsu.In the end, Ishida Mitsunari still failed to completely move away from Kinki.

1 koku is also a key point, because Toyotomi's laws indicate that more than 1 koku can be called a daimyo, and can be qualified to fall into the city.

If Ishida Mitsunari's knowledge and practice in Omi is less than 1 shi, then he cannot fall into the city in Settsu. His base is still in Bungo, and he still has to bear the pain of going to and fro.

Now he has placed the evidence in a Gucheng with only 1 koku. He Ishida Mitsunari is still Omi Daimyo, so what if Bungo has 9 koku?That's just the territory of his distant country.

Let's go back to today's evaluation. Since it is a reward for the two wars of North Korea and Kyushu, as a showman who contributed a lot in the Korean War, because he had sealed 60 shi before, he did not get a seal this time. .

In order to compensate Xiujia, the Toyotomi family expressed that they could apply for the position of the right minister to the court on behalf of Xiujia.

The Yamashiro country is now divided into two, and Hideka controls the 4 northern counties, because the scope of this town in Kyoto itself is established in the center of the Yamashiro country, spanning the southwest of Aidang, the east of Kazuno, and the north of Otsukon.

The Toyotomi Clan, who controlled Otsun County, had nominal control over Kyoto by virtue of the special status of Kyoto and the official duties that Kyoto pursued.

This is also the reason why Toyotomi's family insisted on Oulun County and never let go. After losing Otsuon County, Kyoto fell into the hands of the Xiu family, and the Toyotomi family had no way to connect if they wanted to intervene.

However, because the Hideka garrisoned 1500 troops in Nijo Castle, and controlled an additional semi-military armed force through the Kyoto Town Fire Brigade, the Kyoto Town Prefectural Office actually only controlled the poor 100 people under the capture of Kyoto.

In addition, the Kyoto Imperial Palace is on the edge of Nijo Castle, and important tasks are all under the control of Hideka, and the execution of orders in Kyoto actually depends on Hideka's attitude.

But to say a thousand words and ten thousand, Osaka is the old nest of Toyotomi's family after all, and only he has the right to recommend daimyo to the imperial court.The process that should be followed, the kindness that should be thanked, Xiujia still has to correct his attitude.

These are actually appetizers. The two most critical items in the Korean peace talks are also the two items that must be answered today. They are about the imperial edict that Emperor Daimyo canonize Toyotomi Hidetoshi as the king of Japan, and the definite reward for Hidetoshi. Home exploration and trade.

The reason why Emperor Wanli granted permission to the Xiu family to carry out survey and cooperation trade was probably to thank him for providing information in advance.

After all, even with the support of intelligence, the Wanli Korean War was difficult.From Wanli's point of view, if there is no early warning from the Xiu family, the Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty may be invaded.

It's just that he didn't know that although Daming had made preparations this time, Japan's side was also stronger than in history.According to the original history, although the Ming army fought hard, it gained an absolute advantage.

So the arrival of the Xiu family has become a shit-stirring stick, reinforcing both sides, making both sides pay more than in history.

For Japan, Kanhe trade is a business that only makes money but not loses, because every time it pays tribute to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will double the reward to show the greatness of the emperor.

At this time, there will also be many merchants who will go to the Ming country to trade with the convoy trade fleet, and as long as they can be shipped back to their home country, they will be able to double their profits.

For many daimyos in the Warring States period, supplementing their own military funds through prospecting and cooperation trade is an opportunity that can only be met but not sought after.

In the early days of the Onin Rebellion, the two daimyos, Hosokawa and Ouchi, fought in Ningbo because of the Kanhe trade, which eventually led to the cancellation of the Kanko document bestowed by the Ming Dynasty to the Ashikaga family.

The Tsushima family was promised by Hideyoshi to monopolize the exploration and cooperation trade with North Korea. With a barren island of only 1 shi, they were able to hold back an army of 2000 people in the Korean War. This is the wealth accumulated by years of exploration and cooperation trade.

Now the prospecting and cooperation trade with Ming is in front of everyone's eyes, neither Xiuci nor Osaka is willing to give up easily, even if this is the prospecting and cooperation that Ming Guo wrote on the document and only promised to Xiu's family, they all want to intervene.
