Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 863 Is the Daimyo actually so voluptuous?

As the evaluation ended, Hideie escorted Kodaiin and Hidetoshi out, and Asano Nagamasa announced the start of the banquet.

Many of the people here have had chickens and dogs ascended to heaven because of this war, so naturally they want to have a good meal.

Besides eating meat and drinking wine, the daimyo's favorite thing to do is to figure out the order of the new daimyo's trip.

Akita Minoru boasted to the daimyo on the left and right: "The number one daimyo is undoubtedly Toyoharu-sama."

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mori Tadayamasa, "How can you still call him His Highness Toyoharu? Then what do you call the person in Toyoharu City now?" After Mori Tadayamasa finished speaking, he glanced in the direction of the young samurai beside him. go.

"Yes, yes, I made a mistake. From now on, I will call you Zuofuden or Fushimiden." After being reminded, Akita Miki hurriedly spoke.

Not to mention Xiujia, the young man who controlled Kanto with the Three Kingdoms in his hands was not someone he could easily offend.At the moment, I haven't figured out the young man's temper yet, so I still have to be careful when choosing my words.

Then he started to introduce again: "The most famous person in the world is naturally His Highness Zuofu (Toyotomi Hideie), who has 420 million koku."

"No. 2 is His Highness Toyoharu (Toyotomi Teruie) who was entrusted with the title of Kanto Three Kingdoms, 3 million koku."

"No.3 is Owariden (Toyotomi Hidesada), 80 koku"

"No. 4 Ise's Anōzu Senator (Asano Nagamasa), 55 koku"

"No. 5 Vietchu Toyama Councilor (Shimazu Yoshihiro), 54 koku"

"No. 6 Mino Gifu Chunagon (Toyotomi Hidehisa), 52 koku"

"No. 7 Satsuma Kagoshima Attendant (Ikeda Terumasa), 42 koku"

"No.8 Aki Hiroshima Attendant (Nakagawa Hidemasa), 40 koku"

"No.9 is tied, they are Izumo Matsue Mutsu Mamoru (Date Masamune), Dewa Yamagata Dewa Mamoru (Mogami Yoshimitsu) and Kaga Kanazawaden (Hidetoshi Hori). Their knowledge and practice are tied for 36 koku. The specific order of their knowledge and practice is You have to wait until you hit the bottom before your score can go up or down."

"Wow~ So the top 10 daimyo Tomoyuki all have more than 35 koku? So many territories? I don't know when we will have such knowledge." Inaba Norimichi said after hearing Akita Miyuki's introduction.

After hearing this, Takeda Hidenobu joked to Noriichi Inaba, who was of similar age: "Top ten? Are you thinking too much? Let's get closer to the top 50 first."

Kagawa Keizawa on the side asked curiously: "Is it difficult to be in the top 50?"

"It's difficult! With more than 20 daimyo, Akita Josuke (Akita Minoru) is the last one, ranked 24th!"

Akita Miyoshi felt weird hearing Takeda Hidenobu's explanation. Is this praising herself?Why is it that you are saying that you are the last person?

He asked angrily: "Hey, hey, there are 20 people who are tied for 6 shi. How do you know that I am the last one? Maybe I can come from behind and surpass the other 20 shi famous names and rank 20th. !”

But Takeda Hidenobu did not give him the slightest face, and said directly: "It is absolutely impossible, Uesugi Palace (Uesugi House Tiger) will definitely be sealed after returning from the chaos this time.

Moreover, the Sendai Palace (Toyotomi Akira family) is sealed in Sendai, which is a large plain. How much potential does it have? Just ask Date Mutsu Mamoru, don’t you know?I haven’t mentioned Hizen Nabeshima yet, it’s also a large plain.Just because you can reach remote places, do you still want to come from behind? "

Hearing Takeda Hidenobu's explanation, Takahashi Nozozo on the side joked, "Excuse me, what's your name, Kaimomo?"

"Thanks to the kindness of the Zuofu, I have been granted the title of Kai with 24 koku, ranking 18th, after Okayama-den (Toyotomi Nobun family)." When Takeda Hidenobu talked about himself, he raised his chin as if he was Just like showing off.

However, Anton Minoru ignored him and continued to introduce to the left and right, "The 9th to 11th positions are temporarily tied. The 12th position is His Highness Ashikaga Kōkata, who led the construction of many former counties, with 35 koku."

Takahashi Tongmasu on the side took the opportunity to interject and said, "Although Ashikaga-den only received 35 koku, Hakata Port is under his control. This port alone is more than the territory of the country with less than 30 koku."

Takeda Hidenobu nodded and continued, "Not only that, I heard that the Zuofu is pushing for Ashikaga-den to be brought into the Ashikaga Gongmon lineage and adopted under the knee of the former Shogun."

When everyone heard this, they all exclaimed: "Ah! Then you really are His Highness!"

"Shhh" The agitation here was a bit loud, which attracted the attention of several big names on the other side. Akita Miki could only make gestures to signal everyone to be quiet. "Now this is the world of the Toyotomi family. How can there be such a thing as your highness? You guys are still here." You should be careful in your words and deeds.”

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, then looked in the direction of the Hide family and the Toyotomi Teru family and continued, "As for the future, I'm afraid nothing will happen to the Ashikaga family."

After hearing this, everyone nodded, feeling that they should really pay attention to how they address the Ashikaga family from now on.

However, no one noticed that there was a Yuuki Masaikata mixed in among the crowd. Seeing that everyone was resentful at calling the Ashikaga family members, they couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Only then did everyone realize that there was a traitor among them. "Ah! Your Highness Yuki, why are you here too!"

Yuki Masaika was not polite to them, and squirmed into the middle of them, "Hey, let me hear you talking bad about my brother~ It's okay if you want me to keep it a secret, please tell me where I am now in terms of knowledge and practice. Position? How far behind is my brother Sengoro?"

When they saw Masato Yuki, everyone actually didn't want to talk any more.

After all, this is the biological son of the Xiu family!
However, when people threatened him with the nonsense they just said, Akita Miki could only count on his fingers. Takahashi Tongzhi quickly answered, "His Highness's knowledge and behavior is Utsunomiya's 10 koku, which is consistent with my knowledge and behavior." Ranked 48th. With the same 10 koku as us, there are your younger brother Sanuki Takamatsudon (Toyotomi Makoto’s family) and His Highness the Minister of the Palace of Iwami.”

"As for your brother Koriyama-dono's Tomoyo, which is 15 koku, he is tied for 33rd place. Like him, there are His Highnesses Rikinaka Morioka Minami-den, Harima Akashi-den and Harima Himeji Iichi. You are 15 daimyo behind that His Highness. .”

Hearing that there were so many parallels, Masato Yuki frowned slightly and complained, "There are parallels, why are they all parallels? Tomomiyuki is only missing 5 koku, but he is missing so many famous names."

Others ignored Masato Yuuki's complaints. They were keenly aware that according to Takahashi Tongzou's statistics, there were 10 people with knowledge and behavior exceeding 51 koku.There are many famous people among them who have knowledge and practice of various figures. I am afraid that they will not even be able to squeeze into the evaluation room in the future.

In addition to Takahashi Tomaso, Takeda Hidenobu also became sad very quickly. This was due to the fact that he had been helping with data statistics by Hideie's side.

"Including the lord (he has always regarded the Hide family as his lord in his heart), there are a total of 31 people in the sect, led by Toyoharu and Owari-den. The total knowledge is 999 million koku?"

"Even if His Highness Matsudaira Tadaki is not considered a close feudal lord, there are eight members of the feudal clan, with a total knowledge of 8 million koku, led by His Highnesses Ikeda and Nakagawa."

"There are a total of 36 people who have succeeded the Daimyo, starting from Toudouden with 26 koku, followed by me with 24 koku, Nagabune and Hanabusa, and finally ending with the one from Shima with 1.3 koku."

Yes, Takeda Hidenobu has always regarded himself as a retainer of the Hide family. Although he has become independent early, he still counts himself among the genealogical generations.As for Shigan Taroemon, who was finally awarded the title of Shima, he really couldn't remember his name.

"Oh my god, the total of Pu Dai Zhi Xing is 326 million stones!"

"One clan, close feudal lord, and gendai control a territory worth 1500 million koku. Isn't this considered the new territory of Hokkaido?"

"The combined total of Waiyang and Osaka's hiding places is only more than 800 million dan. How can the people of the world fight against Zuofu?"

Just when he was thinking about the future trend of the world, Shinano Daimyo Ogasawara Hideharu said, "His Highness's hiding place seems to have retained more than 200 million stones. It seems that Zuofu is really righteous!" Ogasawara Hideharu's speech This aroused the echo of many famous people around. They asked themselves that if they had conquered this world, they would never be so kind to the man in Osaka City.

It would be a great kindness to eat up all his hiding places and then move them to a remote place to save his life.

Only Takeda Hidenobu didn't think much of it. After all, although the hidden land seemed to contain more than 200 million koku, he didn't look at where the land was.

There are sporadic enclaves in Higo, Hizen, and Chikuzen in Kyushu, Shikoku Awa, Sanuki, Saikuni, Kinki, and enclaves in central countries. The total may be 80 koku, but most of the hidden places have been replaced. Arrived in Kanto and Northeast China.

These lands are too far away from Osaka and are not conducive to management. They are usually given to the daimyo for management as enfeoffments.

Isn't this what Taige granted to Pu Sheng, Koriyama, Satake and others back then?
As a result, the Hide family has now put the cart before the horse, replacing the Northeastern daimyo with the Western Kingdom and Kyushu, but using the wilderness of the Northeast as a hiding place, which makes people suspicious.

Under the current system of the Toyotomi family, every daimyo reward must be reviewed by the five big brothers. Since the rewards for Kanto and Tohoku are deliberately avoided for the daimyo, it means that the Zuofu intends to leave these lands vacant.

What is that place?

That's Zuofu's lair!

Osaka can neither grant it to a daimyo, nor can it be managed by a distant faction.The largest landowner in the surrounding area is none other than the Toyoharu family. Many famous names come from the Toyoharu family's former ministers, and the entire Kanto and Northeast China look up to them.

Moreover, the names of these local daimyo are very interesting. Many of them have knowledge and practice of only about 5 koku, which is not enough to make waves in the local area or dominate one area, but they are just enough to be acting officials and in charge of hiding places.

As long as His Highness from Fushimi Castle sneezes, he can ask Osaka Castle to collect taxes from the Eastern Kingdom.

Therefore, such an arrangement by the Hide family seems more like a superficial respect for Osaka, but in fact it is an attempt to control the land in Kanto and Northeast China in the name of hiding.

Takeda Hidenobu believed that these data relationships would soon be discovered by someone. He could not even understand how this award was reviewed by the five big guys.

"Unless..." He looked at the people over there who were drinking and joking with Xiujia, "They are already in the same group!"

When Takeda Hidenobu lamented that the world was already in Hideie's control, Hideie was worried a lot at the moment.Because his goal is not just to open the game, he has more important things to accomplish.

He wanted to overthrow the emperor of Japan and create a legitimate unified kingdom.

But as far as the current feudal system is concerned, he and his sons only have 900 million shi in total.Counting the dozens of people who could follow him, including those who could follow him, he would have to pay up to more than 100 million shi, which is only 1000 million shi.

Unless Xiujie fights another war between the North and South Korea after defeating Osaka, it will be difficult to realize his ambition like this.

But while Xiuli is still the brand name, if he insists on causing trouble, he may in turn provide assists to Xiuli.

"It seems that we need to think about it in the long term," Xiujia said, looking up to the sky.

After the awards were over, the daimyo left one after another. Many of them wanted to transfer their titles, and all of them were taken care of by their families.This world may have to go through another action no less than a war.

But fortunately, these famous names have been sealed one by one now. They pay attention to pomp and circumstance when they go out. The moving of famous names can actually boost the economy along the way.

--------------

The daimyo left with the reward, and the information about the reward gradually spread from Osaka to all over Japan.

As a surrenderer, Tokugawa Ieyasu couldn't believe it when he heard that he was the "Shunyuan Three" Three Kingdoms. It wasn't until he sent someone to ask for a map of Hokkaido to confirm the location of his territory that he finally smiled helplessly. Voice.

In fact, he has long accepted the fact that his dominance will end. After all, in his opinion, he is already over 60 years old, while Xiujia is only in his early 30s.He had already endured the death of Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but how could he survive the young and strong Hideyoshi?

Therefore, when he saw that the situation was one-sided, he chose to surrender in the hope of saving his family.

But he didn't expect that the last thought would turn into a sweet dream. The Hide family moved the Tokugawa family to a land where they had never heard of it.

It is unknown how many people live in this land.

I don’t know how much knowledge and practice there is in this land.

Whether this land has minerals or additional sources of income, nothing is known.

Although in later generations, large mechanized farms were operated in Kushiro and Nemuro, which are the most important wheat production bases in Japan. Moreover, because they are close to the Hokkaido fisheries, they provide more than 13% of Japan's fish resources every year.

But all this is unknown to Tokugawa Ieyasu, who is still driving through the fog of war.

Even in his knowledge, food cannot be grown in the land north of Riku, let alone the northernmost tip of Hokkaido.

The Tokugawa family, who had watched their own struggles all their lives, lost hope because of the failure of their political investment. When they thought about how their dream of returning to Sunfu Castle for retirement had also come to nothing, Tokugawa Ieyasu was furious and vomited for a moment. Blood fainted and fell unconscious.

Although Tokugawa Ieyasu was imprisoned in Kyoto, his food, clothing, and housing were taken care of according to the highest rules. Satomi Yoshiie, who was in charge of the guard, heard the news and ordered people to find a doctor, and immediately sent someone to notify Hideie.

Unfortunately, when Hideie arrived from Osaka, Tokugawa Ieyasu had already left.

At this time, Hideya suddenly lamented, "The three heroes of the Warring States Period are all involved with me, but I didn't have the chance to see them for the last time."

Tokugawa Ieyasu is gone, but his son Tokugawa Hidetada will be forever imprisoned in the temple under Toyoharu Castle.

The Tokugawa clan lost two leaders in a short time, and Tadamasa Ii (who has not yet returned to his surname), who is now designated as the successor, is still suffering from the cold wind in Hokkaido.

The daimyo also knew that the decline of the Tokugawa clan was a foregone conclusion. For example, samurai families such as Ashikaga and Todo who were suddenly promoted to daimyo had insufficient samurai within the family. At this time, it was the best choice to supplement them from the Tokugawa family.

After all, not all samurai are willing to go to Ezo to make new contributions and gain opportunities.

However, in the previous disposition, the Hide family requested that all important ministers of the Tokugawa clan must move to Hokkaido along with Ii Tadamasa.Of course, who was finally recognized as a Tokugawa minister and had to be moved to Hokkaido was not a matter of Hideie's words.

This means that retainers of the Tokugawa family cannot be recruited just because they want. Every candidate must be approved by the Hide family, and there is a lot of room for maneuver. Naturally, priority is given to the sons of the Hide family.

In any case, Tokugawa Ieyasu was very important to the Toyotomi family, and the Hide family arranged a grand funeral for the criminal.

As Tokugawa Ieyasu's coffin was sent to Okazaki for burial, the era representing the Three Heroes of the Warring States Period also officially came to an end.

A new chapter in the era has arrived~!
