Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 856 The Death of Chacha
The next day, Chacha very cooperatively admitted his guilt in front of the daimyo in Honmaru Palace.

After a moment of silence, the daimyo burst into great indignation.In an extremely filthy humiliation, Xiujia sentenced Chacha to death by hanging.

There was no public treatment outside. Amid the applause of the famous names, a strong warrior held a white silk silk and hanged his mother in front of his son Xiuli in the palace.

Xiuli cried and wanted to rush over to save his mother, but Xiujia hugged her tightly. Even if Xiuli swung his arm and hit her, he would not let Xiuli escape from his control.

This actually symbolizes that the Hide family firmly holds the lifeline of the Toyotomi family in their own hands.

At this moment, Xiujia saw fear and despair in Chacha's eyes across from him.Maybe she wouldn't realize until this moment that keeping Xiuli alive might not be a good idea.

Chacha died, her body was dragged out, and she was not allowed to be buried with Hideyoshi.

The Hide family thought that she was Hidetoshi's biological mother after all, and allowed her to be buried beside Lake Biwa in Omi Nagahama Castle.

Xiuli became taciturn after his mother's death. Xiujia knew that this incident would definitely leave a shadow in his heart, but Xiujia did not regret it.

But Chacha's chicken must be killed in front of the monkey, and the monkey is the big names here who hold real power.

"Things are a little off. I never thought that His Majesty Kitanosou would be so greedy for profit. Just because the two Nogos coveted his brother, he teamed up with the Ishida traitor to kill his own brother. He is really a great evil person!"

The story between Hidetoshi and Chacha must not be leaked, so in the official statement, Hidetoshi became a villain who coveted his elder brother's two brothers and turned his back on his brother and destroyed his entire family.

"The evil person here is really ashamed of the Toyotomi family name. I intend to deprive him of his surname of Toyotomi courtier and change his genealogy. He is also not from Genpei, so I ordered him to change his Miao name to Inukai, so that his descendants will not be able to be scholars for generations to come."

This disposition of the Hide family is within the Toyotomi family. There are only a few people with the surnames of Toyotomi courtiers. Everyone here except Xiuzhen is the son of the Hide family. Naturally, there is no such thing as this disposition of the Hide family. questionable.

In addition to the disposal of the Toyotomi family, there is the disposal from the Toyotomi court.

“First, there are people like Inukai Hidekatsu, Kyogoku Takaji, Ishida Mitsunari and others who are big traitors who manipulate the court for personal gain, and then there are Kuroda Yomizu, Nakamura Kazushi and other small traitors who bring disaster to the whole party for their own selfish desires. . It is precisely because of the presence of these people in the imperial court that it has been in chaos for so many years after Taige left."

Xiujia first set a general tone and determined the candidate who would definitely be beheaded.

In the center, Toyotomi Hidekatsu, Kyogoku Takaji, and Ishida Mitsunari could not escape. Even if Ishida Mitsunari had committed seppuku, he would still be on the pillar of shame.

In addition, Kuroda Rusui, who took the opportunity to cause trouble in Kyushu, and Nakamura Kazei, who caused trouble behind Hideya's back, and others could not escape death.But because Nakamura Ichiei is not a daimyo, he is a retainer of the Nakamura Kazuo family, and the Nakamura Kazuo family will naturally be implicated when he causes trouble in the Northeast.Not to mention that Tokugawa Ieyasu's confession of the Nakamura Kazushi was due to the source letter and Nakamura Kazei, clearly ordering him to act behind Hideie's back.Hideie hated these poaching behaviors the most, so even though the relationship with Nakamura Kazu was not bad before, Hideie decided to deal with him severely.

The key point is that the Nakamura Kazu clan is not as good as Satake and Koriyama. Toyotomi Hidesada of the Koriyama family is the most important ally of the Hide family. Satake Yoshinobu has a good father to offset the blame. What does the Nakamura Kazu clan have?
The most critical reason is that Nakamura Kazuo's character is somewhat biased towards that of Uesugi Kagekatsu. Although he is not completely acknowledging death and extreme, his loyalty to the Toyotomi family is unquestionable.He was even asked to choose between his private message to the Hide family and his loyalty to the Toyotomi family. He would definitely side with the Toyotomi family.

If this is the case, there is no need for the Hide family to worry about their past friendship and leave a way out for the Nakamura Kazushi family.

"Although Kuroda Yoshizui, Nakamura Ichiei and others are still causing trouble, Inukai Hidekatsu, Kyogoku Takaji, Nakamura Kazushi and other traitors have been arrested and brought to justice. If you have no objections, why not bring them to justice first? Alright."

Naturally, the daimyo here will not have the slightest pity for these political enemies.

It is precisely because of dealing with them that we can free up enough knowledge and deeds to reward ourselves.

Not to mention, the Xiu family just hanged the lord's biological mother, Chacha, in front of so many people. This majesty is not profound.

So with the unanimous consent of all the daimyo, Hideie sentenced 11 people including Inukai Hidekatsu, Kyogoku Takaji, Kyogoku Kochi, Nakamura Kazuji, Kuroda Nagamasa, Yoshikawa Hiroie, and Masuda Nagamori to be executed at the source of six rivers.

Among them are Kuroda Yoshizu, Nakamura Kazei and others who have not yet been brought to justice. They will be escorted to Kyoto for execution at the source of Rokujo River after they are brought to justice.

In addition, 36 people, including Kato Yoshiaki, Sengoku Hidehisa, Yamauchi Kazutyo, Naoe Kanetsugu, and Ankokuji Keiong, were ordered to commit seppuku. Most of them were Western Army daimyo and Osaka Shigeomi.

As for the daimyo, wealthy families, and banners who were deprived of their territories, there were countless people. A rough calculation would number in the thousands.

It is impossible for Hideie to stay within Japanese territory with so many people. These people are time bombs and will inevitably cause chaos if they stay here, and may also increase Osaka's military strength.

Referring to the treatment of Fukushima Masanori, Hideie sentenced them to be exiled to Ezo Island, and formed two new standing divisions to supplement the soldiers of the Ezo garrison.

This time, Hideie's sword struck the main artery of the Toyotomi family. It can be imagined that even if Hidetoshi wants to launch the Osaka Formation in the future, how many generals will he have that can be recruited and deployed?
Since ancient times, exile has been the most reasonable way to deal with political prisoners in Japan. As for the places of exile, they are mostly in Mount Koya and Shikoku.

This is the first time in history that such a large number of exiles were carried out in the bitter cold Ezo. This also seems to indicate that Japan under the control of Hideie will undergo a huge change.
