Prime Minister Bizen

As the last daimyo of the Western Kingdom stepped forward to receive the petition and execution petition, Toyotomi Hidesada once again closed the petition recording the reward information, and took another new document from someone else's hand and said, "The next step is Reward from Shikoku and Kinki."

"Isn't it me again?" Shimazu Yoshihiro was a little anxious when he saw that the Western Kingdom did not have his own reward. He knew that it was impossible for him to get the reward in Kinki. It seemed that he had been specially granted to another country further away.

At this moment, his face has begun to show dissatisfaction. After all, he is considered a part of Sekigahara's contribution. The Satsuma and Osumi countries that he promised me at the beginning did not give it to me and even transferred me. What does Zuofu mean?
"Awa samurai Hoshisuga was responsible for the pacification of Ezo and the guarding of the Northeast to prevent unrest and expansion. He moved 7 people to the 18.2 counties of Iyonoma, Ochi, Kazehaya, Waiki, Onsen, Kume, and Fukai. The base is Matsuyama. city."

"The Toyoharu clan warrior Akigami Hisashi's family assisted the Zuofu in pacifying Ezo and suppressing the rebellion. He moved 13 koku to the two counties of Iyo Kita and Uwa, and based it on Uwajima Castle."

When I was appreciating Qiu Shangjiu's family, another episode occurred.

The 70-year-old Akigami Hisaka burst into tears as he held the sentiment and execution form handed over by Teruie in his hand.The key point is that he is still a big boss, and his voice when he cries is very unpleasant.

On such a happy day, it was puzzling to see Hisa in Akigami crying. Hui didn't know what to do for a while, thinking that he had made a mistake in some step, and looked at Xiu for help.

Hideie asked him, "Why is Iyosuke crying?"

Qiu Shangjia replied, "I have been wandering for half my life. My previous master, family property, and descendants were all invaded by the Maori family, and I became a lonely man. I thought this would be the end of my life. Because I was able to meet the Ming Master at the age of forty, now I not only have I had never imagined that a son who would inherit an heir could become the head of a country. This was something I never imagined at the time.

Ansuke (the common name of the Akigami Hisashi family) knows that all this is thanks to the lord. My lord has treated me so kindly, Ansuke and I and the descendants of Akigami dare not forget it from generation to generation. "

He was not the only one who was inspired by this. How could Tatehara Hisatsuna, Suga Masatoshi and others ever think that one day they could become a 10 koku daimyo?

When they entered the official career, all they wanted was to have a status as a warrior, to have enough food and clothing, and to survive in the troubled times of the Warring States Period.

With Akigami Hisaka taking the lead, Suga Masato and Tatehara Hisatsuna also gradually dropped their little pearls.Not to mention, watching two 70-year-old men cry is really contagious.

It's just that today is the big judgment of the Toyotomi family. It's really not appropriate for your Akigami Hisa family to thank Hide family.Even Hideie himself was very moved, so he could only correct him and said, "Iyosuke, what you should be more grateful to is the lord, Kodaiin and the five big guys. They took a fancy to your ability and rewarded you."

After being reminded by Hideie, Akigami Hisa nodded repeatedly, expressed his thanks to Hidetoshi and others, and then returned to his seat.

"The Tosa Daimyo Chosou is a close relative of our clan. Since Sekigahara has made great achievements anyway, he has been granted the title of Tosa Commandery with 20 koku and is based in Toyooka Castle."

"Kagenori Kagawa, a samurai of the Sanjo family, served as an assistant to the young master Bi, and moved the 5.5-stone castle to the four counties of Sanuki Tatado, Sanno, Toyota, and Naka as Kannonji Castle."

"For the benefit of Maeda, a samurai of the Toyoharu family, he assisted the Zuofu to quell the rebellion. He moved 4.6 koku to the four counties of Awa Miyoshi, Mima, Awa, and Ashi, and established his headquarters in Wai Castle."

"A samurai of the Toyoharu family, Ikaruga Heiji moved to Awaji to seal Awaji with a total of 6.3 koku, and his base is Sumoto Makoto."

"A samurai of the Toyoharu family, Xiangxi Zizhun moved to the three counties of Izumi, Nanbu, and Higen with a total of 7.5 koku in Izumi Province, and his base was Kishiwada Castle."

"The Toyoharu clan warrior Kanemitsu Ieki performed meritoriously in guarding Ezo, and moved the 5 koku portion of Tanba Helu and Soda to the original base of Fukuchiyama Castle."

"The samurai of the Ichijo family, Shimizu Nobuya, had meritorious service in guarding Otsu, and was moved to Settsu and Takatsuki for 7 koku."

"The samurai of the Toyoharu clan, Baba, performed his duties in attacking Ezo and quelling the rebellion. He was moved to settsu Ariooka for 5 koku."

"The Toyoharu family samurai Sho Naokiyo, who made great contributions in attacking Ezo and quelling the rebellion, moved to the north of Hanoi Jiaoye, Sanliang, Hanoi four counties and Wakae County. Zhixing totaled 6.4 koku, and was based in Iimori Castle."

"The Toyoharu family warriors, the Nobuhara family, moved to the four counties of Gao'an, Daxian, Ansu, Shiki and the south of Ruojiang in Hanoi, totaling 4 koku. The original base was Kashiwahara Castle."

The daimyo raised their brows when they heard this. The nine warriors in front of them were all servants of the Xiu family. Many of them were from the Xiu family's retainers, or were succeeded by the elders of the family.

In this way, they sealed the area around Osaka Castle, and the political signal displayed by Hideya was already obvious.It is necessary to rely on these small daimyo with knowledge and skills of about 4 to 7 koku to complete the encirclement of Osaka.

In this way, although Osaka is still left to Hidetoshi, it is also the political center of the Toyotomi family, but if there is any trouble, the Hidetomi family can mobilize more than 1 troops to quickly siege the city within one day.

Osaka has become an island!

"The Sanjo Minoru family of Takamon has made great achievements in guarding Sanuki. They moved the entire Wakasa territory and Echizen Tsuruga County to a total of 10.5 koku. Their base is Obama Castle."

"The great name of Ezhong Asano Nagamasa, who served in the defense of Ezhong and quelled the rebellion, moved to the southern part of Ise, excluding the four counties of Kuwana, Ebenben, Tomei, Mie and Iga, with a total of 55 koku. The base was Ise Ano. Jincheng.”

"The Owari daimyo Oda Hidenobu was arrogant and proud that his soldiers were bandits. However, thinking of his youth and ignorance and the Oda family's kindness to the Toyotomi clan, he pardoned him and changed the 5.3-stone base of Mie County into Ise Kawashima Castle."

"Toyoharu family samurai Suga Masatoshi, who is loyal, brave, reliable and has outstanding achievements, is now granted the title of 11.3 koku to the three counties of Ise Kuwana, Kanbenben and Tomei. This city is Nagashima Castle."

"The Toyoharu family samurai Shigantaroemon assisted the Zuofu in capturing Tokugawa Hidetada. He played a major role in the battle of Asahinagawa. He was granted the title of Shima's full commander, and his base is Toba Castle."

"The Toyotomi family samurai chief Shuzheng's housekeeping order was passed, and he moved 9.5 koku to the three counties of Uda, Castle, and Shishi in the Yamato Kingdom. The original base was Sakurai Castle."

"The samurai Suzuki Shige of the Kobayakawa family has made great contributions to Sekigahara anyway, and is awarded the title of Kii Shingu with 3 koku."

There was an obvious pause when Toyotomi Hidesada read this, and then he continued to the crowd, "The great name of Kanto, Toyotomi Hideke, is loyal, brave and reliable. He conquered Ezo in the north and conquered Buchen in the south. He made great contributions to the country.

Today, the four kingdoms of Yamashiro, Izumi, Omi, and Echizen have been sealed, and the old territories of Ueno, Hitachi, and Ibaraki, as well as Iyo, Higo, Harima, and Tanba and other places have been entrusted with a total of 420 million stone to show their favor and grandeur. The original base is Yamashiro Fushimi Castle. "

"Oh~" As Toyotomi Hidesada read out the award, a burst of excited voices sounded in the evaluation room.

Everyone knew that Xiujia would definitely get a seal, but no one expected that the seal would come so violently.

According to the calculation of the table height during the Qingchang period, a full 200 ​​million stone was added!

Two million stones!It was almost equal to the combined trip of the Tokugawa and Uesugi families, let alone a group of little people like them.

However, the reward was not over yet. Toyotomi Hidesada continued to say, "However, Zuofu's contribution is not enough to reward him. If he continues to be awarded the title, Zuofu refuses, so Yuen Meng Yinzi will continue."

"His son Toyotomi Kaguya is loyal, brave and reliable, and has made outstanding achievements since he started the army in Kantō. Now he is granted the title of Kantō Saitama, Musashi, and Shimoso with a total of 4 million koku, and his base is Toyoharu Castle."

"His son Toyotomi's family was enshrined in Iwashiro Koriyama with 15 koku."

"His son Toyotomi (Juro) Nobu's family was enshrined. (Mother Toyotomi Kiku, the 1592th son was born in June 6) Bizen Okayama 10 koku."

"His son, Ukita (Ichiro Mori) Tadashi (mother of Joseon Chosuzu Hwang clan (Chosuiden), the 1593th son was born in November 11) Anfang Tokuyama Castle 13 koku."

“加封其子丰臣（二七郎）诚家（母香川直子，1594年1月生第14子）赞岐高松城10万石。”“加封其子丰臣（春吉郎）春家（母筒井藤，1594年3月生第15子）阿波德岛8万石。”

"His son Ukita (Kashiwa Ichiro) Yoshie (mother, Yosukawa Xu family (Yangkawa-den), North Korea, the 1594th son was born in March 3) Ibaraki Mito 16 koku."

"His son, Ukita (Matsuichiro) Takaie (mother's daughter of the Haraju Hebei family (Matsukaden), the 1594th son was born in October 10), Hanhou Akita, was given the title of 17 koku."

"His son, Ukita (Chunichiro), was given the title of Yoshitaka (mother, Irgen Gakuro, the 1595th son was born in February 2), Ueno Tamashi Bridge, with 18 stones."

“加封其子丰臣（三郎）昭家（母丰臣菊，1598年7月生第19子）陆前柴田、名取、宫城、黑川、加美、玉造6郡仙台20万石，本据仙台城。”

"His son Toyotomi (Keichiro) Keike (mother Kabihime, the 1598th son born in October 10) Kii Wakayama 20 stones."

After reading a list of names in a grand manner, the daimyo didn't even react. The youngest daimyo of Wakayama Domain was only 8 years old!

There are two other points that attract the most attention. One is that the direct sons of Xiujia and Juji have received great protection.

The eldest son, Hui, was granted the Hide family's original Kanto 4 Kingdoms of 120 million. Although this was already a lot, he was indeed the commander of the front army and one of the top five, so it was understandable that he was granted 120 million shi.

The second direct descendant of Toyotomi Nobuke, he has been following the formation as the Hideka banner holder. If you say he has merit, then so be it.Anyway, Bizen is your hometown of the Hide family. If you miss your hometown and want to give it to your son, then give it to your son.

But your third descendant is only over 8 years old!He can't even hold a knife, so why don't you give him a seal of 20 stone? Are you so shameless?
If a caring person knows that the sons of the Xiu family are even more capable of scolding their mothers, did your Xiu family give their sons Yuanfu overnight?The common name was chosen so poorly that it was obviously thought up overnight.

Of course, these are not the key. The key is that everyone heard a familiar yet unfamiliar word "Ukita" from the names of the sons of the Hide family.

I say familiarity because there are already two Ukita names. One is the Ukita Senke who was entrusted with Higo Utsuch Castle, and the other is Ukita Sokatsu who was entrusted with Tanba Kameyama Castle. They are both branches of the Hide family under the Ukita clan. You want They can barely be considered a vassal.

But now these three Ukita are the biological sons of the Hide family!Although the territories they were granted were not large and were concentrated in Kanto and Northeast China, this reward was indeed easy to attract people's attention.

Seeing the Xiu family coming down the imperial steps and receiving the certificates of knowledge and conduct from their own sons, and even more so from the Xiu family who received the certificates of knowledge and conduct for several other sons who could not come to receive the title in person, everyone couldn't help but have thoughts in their minds. A thought came to mind: "Is Zuofu trying to restore the Ukita Miao characters and pave the way for the opening of Genji?"

After the Toyotomi Hide family received the news and expressed their gratitude to Kodaiin and Hidetoshi, they did not go back. Instead, they exchanged positions with Hidetoshi, who took the first place in the audience.

Next, Xiuya received a certificate of reward from his attendant and said, "Next is the security of the central region."

"The Bizen daimyo Toyotomi Hidehisa had meritorious service in guarding Okayama and moved most of Mino to 52 koku."

"Ukita Hidei, a samurai of the Toyoharu family, served in the conquest of Ezo and was granted a 5-koku seal in Mino Ogaki Castle."

"Toyotomi Hidesada, the great name of Iwadai, served in Shangluo in the Zuofu Prefecture. He stabilized the Hokuriku and captured the rebel leader Inukai Hidekatsu. Now he moved to Fengwei Zhang to take full control of Mikado and the four counties of Mikawa and 72 koku, as well as 8 koku from the counties of Hanoi and Yamato. , Zhixing totaled 80 koku, and his base was Nagoya Castle."

"Oh wow, another super famous name" everyone thought in their hearts, "No wonder it was suddenly replaced by His Highness Zuofu to come to the roll call. It turns out that His Highness Koriyama is going to be named."

"The warriors of the Toyoharu family, the Narita clan's chief assistant Bi Zuofu, put down the rebellion, moved 4 shi to the 13 counties of Higashi Mikawa, and based it on Yoshida Castle."

"Toyoharu family samurai Takatora Toudo, who is loyal, brave, reliable and has outstanding achievements, moved to Enjiang Kingdom and received 26 koku, based in Hamamatsu Castle."

"Toyoharu family samurai Oka Toshiro, who was trapped in enemy territory, retreated and ambushed, but never fell. He moved 18 koku to Suruga and based it on Sunfu Castle."

When the awards on the Tokaido side were over, Hideie sat back on the imperial steps, and Toyotomi Hidesada took over the roll call again.

"The Tohoku Daimyo Mizuno Shoshin successfully moved 8.2 koku to Echizen Ono County and based it on Ono Castle."

"The Tohoku daimyo Sawakatsu Masaru moved to Kaga Enuma County and Echizen Sakai County Kita 12 Villages, with a total of 9 koku, and was based in Daishengji Castle."

"The Noto daimyo Hori Hidetoshi was loyal and patriotic but was unfortunately killed by a traitor. His son Hori Hidetoshi was honest and reliable and assisted Sakuma Katsuyuki in the defense of Kanazawa. He was transferred to the three Kaga counties with 36 koku and was based in Kanazawa Castle."

"The Northeastern samurai Akita Minoru, assisted the Zuofu to put down the rebellion, and moved the Noto Daibu Tomoyuki to a total of 20 koku, and based it on Nanao Castle."

"Ise Daimyo Nagatomo Nari, Sekigahara moved back to Noto after his achievements, and led the entire Suzu County in the north of Noto and a part of Hoji County with 4 koku."

"Kyushu daimyo Shimazu Yoshihiro, Sekigahara has meritorious service anyway, he moved to Yuezhong and received 54 shi, and his base is Toyama Castle."

Shimazu Yoshihiro was already extremely nervous, because he saw that more than half of the territories had been awarded rewards, but it was not his turn yet, and he was even ready to seal off the Northeast.

But I never thought that I would be sent to Yuezhong.

Hideie had previously promised him Satsuma and Osumi, which totaled about 45 koku. If possible, he still hoped to stay in Minami Kyushu and be his own local leader.But this time, nearly 10 more stones were added to the seal, and all the grievances were gone.

"The samurai Ogasawara Hideharu (son of Ogasawara Sadane) of the Koriyama Toyotomi family moved 6 koku to the north of Shinano Azum and Chikuma, and based it on Matsumoto Castle."

"The Mino samurai Kawajiri Naotsugu fought to the death in the Battle of Sekigahara and moved to the southern part of Mount Kiso to receive 2 koku. He was based in Kiso Fukushima Castle."

"The northeastern daimyo Qingzu was the Nobunaga, and he moved 8.3 koku to most of Ina County, Nobu, and based it on Iida Castle."

"The Shinano daimyo Zou visited Yorimizu, but he added 1.5 koku from Shinano's Ina-gun portion, and recovered 8000 koku from Kai's part, Tomoyuki, for a total of 4.1 koku. The base is still Takashima Castle."

"The samurai of the Toyoharu family, Sanada Nobushige, has outstanding abilities and served in the right government. To offset the fault of his brother, Mato Nobushige, he moved to Sanada Noboshi County, part of Saku County, Ueno Agatsuma and Tone County, with a total of 11.2 koku. This book It was called Shangtian City."

"Horichi Ryo, a warrior of the Hori family, served as an assistant to the young master Bi. He moved 5 koku to Shinonosajiu County, and his base is Komoro Castle."

Hori Hideshige frowned when he heard that the Hori family had been awarded a congratulation of 36 koku, which was somewhat different from the 40 that the Hide family had originally promised.

Although the difference is only 4 koku, Hori Hidetoshi has accepted Hideie as his adoptive father. There is no reason for Hideie to treat him harshly, right?
Now that the dust has finally settled, the Hide family moved Hori Hidetoshi's younger brother and Hori Hidetoshi's uncle out of the feudal clan. This allowed Hori Hidetoshi to gain a real title and at the same time prevent his uncle from invading his nephew's territory.

Taking into account Hori Chiliang's knowledge and deeds, the Hori family's comprehensive stone high came to 41 stone. "The Zuofu treats Hidejun like his own son~" Hori Hidejun said with emotion.

This is certainly a good thing for the daimyo, but Hori Hidetoshi is still young. How many years can he still help him when he is old?
Before Hori Hideshige could figure out what to do, he found Hideie on the stage calling him.

I looked around and realized that only an old man from the Hori family attended the banquet on behalf of Hori Hidetoshi. Hori Chiyoshi went on the northern expedition with the Uesugi family.And when Xiujia called him, he was asking himself, as a grandfather, to help his grandson receive another certificate of knowledge and deeds.
