Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 860: Transfer of seals and seals—Western Kingdom

Hideie asked his son Toyotomi Terie to distribute his feelings and knowledge and deeds to the daimyo. In fact, he was invisibly letting the daimyo know who would rule the world in the future.

Don't look at Xiujia sitting behind the royal steps. In fact, everyone is Qingmeng. Xiujia is the protagonist of today's show.

When the Toyotomi Teru family was responsible for distributing the petitions and execution warrants, he represented the identity of the Toyotomi family. The daimyo needed to express their gratitude to him, which could be regarded as a feeling of the next successor in advance.

"Next is the reward from the Western Kingdom." Under the eager eyes of everyone, Toyotomi Hidesada opened a scroll again and said.

"The Toyoharu clan, the Toyotomi Shige clan, moved to the Nagato Kingdom with a total of 13 people, and based it on Shimonoseki Castle."

"Because the Minister of the Domain's Daming Palace assisted the Zuofu in quelling the rebellion, he was awarded 10 stones to the four counties of Ishimi Anon, Kama, Naga, and Eichi, and this drama is Ota Castle."

"Toyoharu Samurai Kaku Minami traveled to Ezo, Mikawa, and Sekigahara and made great achievements in breaking formations. He awarded 4.3 koku to Shikami Shikazu and Mino counties. He is based in Masuda Manyo Castle."

"The northeastern daimyo Date Masamune, the assistant to the Zuofu of Shangluo, has made great contributions, and moved the entire territory of Izumo. The total of the three counties in western Japan is 36 stone, and the base is Izumo Matsue Castle."

"Takatora Todo, a samurai of the Toyoharu family, served as the assistant to the Zuo Mansion in Shangluo. He moved to Anyi and received 26 shi, and the base was in Hiroshima City."

"The great name of the Hokuriku Sakuma Masato was loyal and upright, but was killed by a traitor. His son (third brother) was loyal, brave, and resisted the traitor. He took possession of Kanazawa before it fell in June. He moved 6 people to Zhou Fang and established his base in Fangfu City. "

"The northeastern Daming Rock City, Lilong Shangluo, had meritorious service. After moving to the feudal state, 25 shi were established, and the original base was Fushan Castle."

"Please wait a moment." Just as Toyotomi Hidesada was about to continue speaking, Iwaki Toshitaka, who stepped forward to receive the certificate, said, "I am born in the Maeda clan. I really can't bear to see the Maeda clan finally end up under the leadership of my brother Toshinaga." Perish. Besides, I don’t deserve such a large reward, so I am willing to give 10 dan out of it in exchange for a chance for the Maeda family.”

Only Toyotomi Teruie knew about the previous conversation between Hideie and Maeda Toshiie, and the other three people who had participated in the review were not aware of it.

So the initial arrangement was for 25 koku after Toshitaka Iwaki was sealed.

In fact, when this seal was issued, Asano Nagamasa expressed objections. Why could the Iwaki family be granted a seal of 13 koku?

The reason Hideie gave at the time was that "when he first persuaded Iwaki Toshitaka to raise an army, he promised him to inherit 50 koku from the Maeda family. Now, although the Maeda family has made a big mistake and must be changed, it is not easy to change the original promise to Iwaki Toshitaka." An Du swallowed it too hard, so it is reasonable to give him half of the 50 dan."

When he was persuading the Northeastern daimyo to raise troops, Toyotomi Hidesada was online the whole time, so he naturally knew this.

He also felt that the Hide family had always shown their loyalty to others. If it weren't for the fact that the Maeda family was really not easy to arrange, giving Iwaki Toshitaka 25 koku would have been considered a broken promise.

In fact, the reason why the Maeda family was treated so harshly and had to be changed was because he led people to attack the regiments of Nakagawa Hidemasa and Mori Tamasa?

Why did Tadamasa Mori get 21 from Bunzen Nakatsu?Just because he was 25 when things went wrong in Sanhe?
think too much!

He relied on the compensation for his wife, son, and daughter being kidnapped and taken away by Ishida Mitsunari after he was on the spot in Mikawa for 25 years. One son and one daughter died in the process; and based on his unyielding fight when he fell to death in Sekigahara. , this is the hardest achievement.

Since Tadamasa Mori and Hidemasa Nakagawa are commended for their achievements in Sekigahara, Toshinaga Maeda and the Maeda family, as the main villains, must be dealt with. Kaizen and seppuku are absolutely unavoidable.

Previously, Tadamasa Mori and Hidemasa Nakagawa speculated that Maeda Toshinaga was not included in the list of traitors to be dealt with. It should be that Maeda Toshiie came to Hideie and sold himself a favor to save his life.

But today Toshitaka Iwaki directly stated that he would exchange knowledge and practice for the return of the Maeda family. This is really a slap in the face with pig urine - although it is not painful and smells bad.

Hideie did promise that Maeda Toshiie could do this, but it’s up to you to discuss the details.

But can you please stop talking about this in a ceremony to record merit and commendation?
Even if it takes two days?Just two days!
What makes Hideya most dissatisfied is that you, Toshitaka Iwaki, originally reported 7 to the Maeda family and 18 to the Iwaki family. You don't need to restore your original surname.

Now you give Maeda 10 koku, which is obviously inconsistent with what was promised before.

Is it that you, the Maeda family, are so awesome that you are able to take care of Iwaki's retainers, or is it that you, Iwaki Ritaka, are soft-hearted and were persuaded by your own father?
Before Hideya expressed his position, the newly promoted top five leader Hidemasa Nakagawa refuted: "Rewards from the Imperial Court must be evaluated based on merit. Maeda Echichu Mamoru made mistakes and was punished in accordance with the law. In which case is it up to you, Iwaki Iwashiro, to intervene?" Comment?”

Asano Nagamasa was originally dissatisfied with Iwaki Toshiro's 13 bonus, so he took the opportunity to say, "I think Iwashiro Mamoru is a little complacent about his achievements. I think the bonus is too much, right?"

"I, I never meant this!" Iwaki Toshitaka never thought that he would be targeted by two big guys here, and he turned to Hideya for help.

As he glanced at Hideie, many other daimyo also looked at Hideie.

I saw that Hideie's right hand had been stroking the ring in his hand. He was silent for a long time and then said, "Servant Maeda is an old man from his father's time after all. He has traveled around with his father since he was young.

Even if he is at fault, it is still a matter of upbringing for his descendants. Dealing with an old minister like this will inevitably chill the hearts of the warriors in the world. They are deeply afraid that the family fortune that they have worked hard for all their lives will be ruined because of the mistakes of their unfilial descendants.

Although there are laws to follow when daimyo makes corrections when he makes mistakes, there is nothing more than human feelings beyond legal principles.Now that my father has just passed away, we are targeting his contemporaries and veterans. Telling the story will inevitably damage the Lord's image.

Since Iwashiro Mamoru expressed his willingness to use his own merits to compensate, I am also willing to be kind here.But since this is to compensate for his sin, it is naturally impossible to make up for him [-]%.

Since you, Iwashiro Mamoru, are willing to give 10 dan, I will exchange it for 7 dan to block the Maeda clan, but your own merit is only 15 dan. "

At this point, Xiujia changed the topic and said, "Of course, this is just my opinion. Whether it is feasible or not needs to be decided by the four big bosses and Gaotaiyuan."

Hearing that his knowledge and actions were about to change, Iwaki Toshitaka became a little anxious.Originally, it was because he was too soft-hearted to listen to his father's persuasion that he spent another 3 dan to subsidize the Maeda family.

For this reason, he also specifically persuaded the elders of the Iwaki family to delay the entry of the Maeda family's younger brother. If a boy can be born within 5 years, a boy with Iwaki bloodline will inherit the Iwaki family.

He would never have thought that the Hide family would give a discount to the Maeda family on the basis of 10 koku. Doesn't this mean that the 3 koku he took out from the Iwaki family was taken back in vain?
He was about to open his mouth to explain, but when he saw Xiujia's sharp eyes, he swallowed his words again. This time he had lost his wife and lost his army.

"Since Iwashiro Mamoru has no objections, let's do it. It's just that the country that awards the reward will also have to change." Hideie said to the daimyo present: "Everyone, please wait a moment, I will go and talk to the four big guys. Let’s discuss it some more.”

In fact, today is the show's talk. The show family can directly tell you, Toryaka Iwaki, where to go, but the specific process still needs to be followed.

After Xiujia said that, he turned around and left, and the four bosses got up and followed.The daimyo who saw the five big shots leaving and heard the reply that the reward was postponed felt ready to kill Iwaki Toshitaka.

The waiting time for leaving this time was not short, so that at around noon, the Hide family's servant Satomi Yoshiyasu came out to ask Ning Ning and Hideyoshi to go back to rest first, and sent a message to the daimyo, "The Zuofu has ordered people to prepare lunch, please." Sir, please have your meal in Osaka Castle."

During the dinner, Todo Takatora was also called out.After lunch, another hour passed before the five big shots, Ning Ning and Xiu Li officially returned, and today's evaluation could continue.

After everyone sat down again, Xiuzhen continued, "The issues concerning Iwajo and the Maeda family just now have been slightly changed."

"Maeda Toshinaga thought that it was unforgivable to join the army and become a thief without knowing it. However, thinking of the past achievements of his father and his attendants, Maeda Shi moved and sealed the parts of Dongbo Qiyabaqiao, Kume, and Kawamura with a total of 7.3 stones. He was based in Tsushima."

"Iwajo Toryaka had meritorious service in Shangluo. He moved the five counties of Inaba Province, Iwai, Homi, Eupmi, Takakusa, and Keta, as well as part of Hoki River Village, with a total of 15.13 stones. The original base is Tottori Castle."

"Oda clan, the great name of the Kanto region, served in the Fubizuo Mansion to quell the rebellion. He moved 4.7 koku to the three counties of Inaba Hachijo, Badō, and Chizu, and based it on Hachijo Funaoka Castle."

"The Chief Daimyo Nakagawa Hidemasa Sekihara fought to the death and made great contributions to quelling the rebellion. He moved to Anyiquan and received 26 shi, and 6 shi from the six counties of Nishibingo Gotiao, Sera, Sankei, Sange, Esu, and Mikami. Total Tomoyo's 14-strong base was based in Hiroshima Castle. He was originally granted the title of Todo Sado and another Anpai."

In full view of the public, Todo Takatora once again stepped forward to hand over the Tomoyo Certificate, and then stepped back after expressing his gratitude to Hideie and Teruie.

At the same time, Nakagawa Hidemasa, who was sitting in the first place at the bottom, stepped forward, took the letter of acceptance and execution from Toyotomi Teruie, and expressed his gratitude to Hideie and others.

The reason why the Hide family wanted to move the Maeda family for 3 koku was because the Maeda family's Bingo position was both important and embarrassing, and required a relatively complete feudal clan to control it.

After recovering 3 stone, it became an enclave, and it was completely meaningless to send people to take care of it.

After moving Maeda, Togawa Tatsuyasu, who was originally arranged here, also moved. If Togawa Tatsuyasu moved the barrier to defend the Date family, there would be a loophole. Naturally, the Daimyo of the West would have to influence the whole body. Adjustment.

Of course, it is impossible for the Hide family to change. They held a meeting specifically to express the reward for the Iwaki and Maeda families. In fact, the main reason was that the Hide family wanted to rearrange Toudo Takatora.

There are several biological sons in the Western Kingdom, as well as close vassals such as the Ukita Kan family and the Tachibana Kage family, as well as Nabeshima Naoshima, Mori Tadamasa and other daimyo close to the Hide family, who have sufficient guarding strength.

The Hide family originally arranged for Takatora Toudo to be here because the nearby son was too young and someone who could control him was needed to make overall arrangements.But after thinking about it, I still feel that compared to the Western Kingdom, Yuanjiang in the east needs to be garrisoned by the vassal.

After Toudo Takatora moved away, there was still a need for a large daimyo to look to the north for Hideie to watch Date in the north and Kyushu in the south. This daimyo was even bigger than Toudo Takatora, and only Nakagawa was the first to die. Suzheng is suitable.

The condition for moving Hidemasa Nakagawa was to give him an additional seal of 4 shi, bringing his chief executive to 40 shi.

If the previous changes to Maeda and Iwaki were still expected, with the changes to Takatora Todo who had just been announced to be sealed off from Hiroshima, the daimyo finally felt that they were on an unusual path.

"Tatsuyasu Togawa, a samurai of the Toyoharu family, served Shangluo in the Zuo Mansion of Fubi. He moved 8 stones to 12 counties including Nuka, Jianu, Numakuma, Shenzhen, Anna, Pinzhi, Ashida and Shenshi in the eastern part of Houbei, and Houyue County in the middle of the country. 1.6 stones, a total of 13.6 stones, and the original base is Fukuyama Castle."

"The Okayama Domain samurai Hanabusa Masaki, the auxiliary officer of Okayama Chunagon guarded Okayama, and Bizen made outstanding achievements. He was rewarded with a total of 18 koku for his beautiful work, and he was based at Tsuyama Castle."

"Toyoharu family samurai Tatehara Hisatsuna assisted the Zuofu in quelling the rebellion and opening up Ezo. He was rewarded with 5 stones from the five counties of Bichu-Oda, Shimochi, Tou, Asakuchi, and Kubota, and the headquarters was Kurashiki Castle."

"The Toyoharu family warrior Yingwa Kutora assists the Zuofu to quell the rebellion and open up Ezo. He is rewarded with 5 stones from the five counties of Bichujobo, Aga, Tetsuta, Kawakami, and Kayo, and the headquarter city."

"The guilt of Tango daimyo Hosokawa Tadayoki cannot be forgiven. However, his son Hosokawa Tadayoshi was both loyal and brave. He did not learn about the rebellion from his father. He later assisted the Zuofu to stabilize Kinki. Although Ashikaga served in the southern expedition to Kyushu, his sincerity can be seen. He moved to Feng Dan The horse costs 12 dan.”

Tango and Tajima had similar intellectual abilities. Hideie used Hosokawa Tadaki's pot to influence the Hosokawa family and moved them from Tango in the back garden of Kyoto to Tajima.

Many people find it hard to understand why a person as big as Tadayoshi Hosokawa was only deducted a few thousand koku from his trip.
And the reason given by Xiujia is also far-fetched.

Hosokawa Tadaka was stationed in the Western Army, and his son was not the only one who was stationed in the Eastern Army. Ohtani Yoshitsugi's son was able to secure knowledge by virtue of his performance in protecting Kodaiin. Why should you, Hosokawa Tadaka, deduct thousands of koku? ah?Do you have any extraordinary achievements?
There is also the last description. He, Hosokawa Tataka, went with the Ashikaga family to conquer Kuroda Jishui. He was sincere. He had already started to take credit for others before the battle was over. Isn't it a bit obvious that you are partial to the Hide family?

Just because he is your brother-in-law, do you do whatever you want?
But it's obvious that none of the big names here have any objections to Xiujia's arrangement. Although the big names here made a few comments, no one dared to express their dissatisfaction.

"The Harima daimyo Kinoshita family decided to move 3 koku to the three counties of Harima Ako, Sayo, and Isai, and based it on Ako Castle."

Kinoshita Kaisada is actually half west but not west, half east but not east.He has never expressed his stance to join the Hide family in resisting Osaka, but because he is Ningning's brother, he has been guarded by Osaka, and in the end he abandoned Himeji and fled.

Such people will definitely have their seal reduced.In the end, Xiujia also used a seal of 1 stone in exchange for Himeji Castle in his hands, which really gave Ningning a lot of face.

Didn't you see that Xiujia didn't even write why he was rewarded in his petition?

It's not because it really can't be made up. Even Xiujia didn't bother to write it down, which he repeated several times before: "Prime Minister Zuo's Mansion was instrumental in quelling the chaos."

Kinoshita Iedada and Ning Ning knew very well that Hideie's arrangement for him was already very good, not to mention that during the Keicho riots, Kinoshita Iedada was promoted from 2.5 koku to 8 koku for his contribution to the defense of Himeji. It was an excessive reward, so naturally I didn’t dare to complain at all this time.

"Horio Yoshiharu transferred Osaka and persuaded Ishida and other thieves to surrender and opened the city. However, Kyushu daimyo Kuma Otojo Horio Tadashi's troops followed the Western Army. Today, Horio Tadashi moved to Tamba Yakami Castle with 8 koku."

Horio Yoshiharu's original knowledge was the 6 koku of Chikgo Kuma Oto Castle. Then, when his son joined the Western Army, he not only received the title, but also moved it from Kyushu to Kinki. It is obvious that Hideie believed that his contribution could not only offset his son's fault. , and can also be sealed.

"The family foundation of Gaomen is a great contribution to Otsu, and it moved 15 koku to Harima Himeji."

"All Akashi warriors of the Toyoharu family ascended the throne. They served as assistant to the right government and moved 15 koku to Harima Akashi Castle."

"The Ise Daimyo Inaba Nori fought meritoriously in the clearance battle, and moved 5 koku to Harima Shisu County and the northern part of Kamisai County, and based it on Shinomaru Castle."

"Osaka samurai Yamanaka Tomojun assisted Bi Zuofu in quelling the rebellion. He moved 4 koku to Harimatoko County and the northern part of Shendong County, and based it on Kasumigaoka."

"Toyoharu family warrior Ukita Munemori moved to Tanba Kameyama Castle for 7 koku."

"The Kaga Niwa family, Niwa Chotoshi, Danhou, Kasa, and Yusa two counties have 7.2 koku, and are based in Heda Castle."

"The Kaga Niwa family Niwa Choji received 5.5 stones from the three counties of Tangochu, Kumano, and Takeno, and was based in Ogidani Castle."

So far, although there have been many episodes, fortunately the Western Kingdom Award has ended successfully.
