Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 90 Throwing the Feather Firewood or the Firewood Field?The world situation in the eyes of Pusheng's township

Because the Xiu family's reform of the third hospital and the nine halls is too large, the current idea is only on paper. It needs to be further revised after communicating with Hanabang Masako. The Xiu family dare not directly announce it at the evaluation meeting just now.

The Xiu family's mother who also met temporarily hired traders and monks to help with internal affairs management was only a stopgap measure. With the establishment of the Hongwen Museum, the Xiu family would gradually replace these temporary workers with self-produced internal affairs vassals. After all, they were in contact with The core data about the family should not be known to outsiders.

After Xiujia handed over these matters to Hanafang Masayuki, a paragraph about Yuki's internal affairs reform came to an end.The time also came to mid-September, and the monkey sent an invitation to Hideka from Kyoto, inviting Hideka to gather in Kyoto in early October to attend Nobunaga's funeral.

As the top 4 strong feudal clan of the Oda family after the Battle of Yamazaki, Hideo had to go to see Nobunaga's funeral, so after receiving this letter, Hideie quickly explained the things in his collar and took He rode to Kyoto with 120 attendants.

Since there is still plenty of time, Hideya met his mother Fukunokata and Husong in Himeji, and then left for Kyoto to meet Hideyoshi.

With the redistribution of territory after the Cheongju Conference, Yamashiro became Hideyoshi's territory, and Hideyoshi temporarily used the Katsuryuji Temple in Yamashiro as the base to occupy the castle, and used this time to recruit the Oda family's retainers nearby.

Although there is still one year before the battle of Jianyue, the undercurrent has already begun to surge ahead of schedule.

At this time, the west side of the Yamashiro country was Hideyoshi's own Tanba. As the former leader of the rebel Mitsuhide, Hideyoshi cleaned up the nobles in Niwa in the name of thieves, and firmly controlled the 26.6 koku leader.

Below are allies Ikeda Hengxing, Nakagawa Kiyohide's Settsu and Yamato. The original Yamato ruler Tsutsui Junkei had 4 koku of his territory cut off because of Naruzasa Sasa, so he also chose to stand on Hideyoshi's side.

Further south at 22 koku in Hanoi, the biggest lord is Oda Shinsuke. After Nobutaka took control of Mino, Shinkyo chose to abandon Takaya Castle 6 koku to follow Nobuko. The rest were two or three kittens. With the departure of the letter, Hideyoshi was brought under the control of skills.

The lord of Izumi Kishiwada Castle is Hachiya Lairaka, who was only the acting official of Kishiwada Castle at the beginning, and Hideyoshi directly used the name of the three priests to block him with 6.3 koku of Kishiwada Castle, and then controlled the entire collar of Izumi's 14 koku.

The lord at the upper right of the mountain castle is Hideyoshi's former adopted son, Hidekatsu Omi Ishida, who is 15 on the left side of Omi River.Hideyoshi transferred some former retainers of the Bessho family, including Kinugasa Nokage, not only vacated Harima, the direct-controlled territory, but also firmly controlled the land.

This also allowed Hideyoshi to firmly control the possibility of Shibata Katsuya entering the mountain castle via Wakasa.

Further east is the direct leadership of the three mages. During the Qingzhou meeting, the three mages obtained the territory of Jiangnan Azuchi and Iga with a total of 40 shi, but there are also Kamo Kenhide, Hori Hidemasa, Maeda Genyi, and Nakamura Kazushi inside. , Ota Ushiichi, Tomita Kazuhiro and other retainers.

Before the Cheongju Conference, Hori Hidemasa helped Hideyoshi contact the rich family in Kinai to attack Mitsuhide Akechi together, accumulated prestige, and had the best relationship with Hideyoshi. After the Cheongju Conference, he won 6 koku of Sawa Yamashiro, and Hideyoshi further increased it for him. 9 shi, firmly controlling the main roads in the north and south of the Yangtze River.

Maeda Genichi, because of his meritorious service in helping Hideyoshi to support the three mages, won the security of 1 shi in Nyujiang City. The height of the 8000-stone stone under the gate has nearly tripled.

Kazushi Nakamura himself is one of Hideyoshi's retainers, and is currently housed in Omi Miyake 1 koku.

Ota Ushiichi served as Nobunaga's bow master, and Nobunaga served as a priest in Omi in his later years. He was a monk with outstanding ability and was placed in 2 stones in the city of Dianwu.

Tomita Kazuhaku was originally placed in Ise. With Niwa Nagahide's transfer, Hideyoshi placed him in Omi Seta Castle 5 koku, and was responsible for cooperating with Hori Hidemasa to help Hideyoshi in diplomatic affairs.

As for the largest feudal lord in the territory, it was Kamo Kenhide who controlled the 10 koku of Iga and Near Otowa Castles, and his son Gamo Shigo, who later became the great feudal lord of Aizu 92 koku.

The above-mentioned feudal clans have taken 28.8 shi of territory, so that the actual direct control of the three mages is only about 11.2 shi. It can be said that the strength of the entire Jiangnan who is still hesitating is none other than Kamo Hyun-hsiu.

In fact, after the Cheongju meeting, many retainers of the Oda family have seen the situation clearly. The main family has only 40 koku, and the Oda family, which is less than two branches, has determined that it can no longer suppress the daimyo.

After the Cheongju Conference, the division of each family's old territory was also very phased.As the first group, Shibata Katsuya, Hashiba Hideyoshi, Oda Nobuo, and Ukita Hideka took away most of the territory of the Oda family.

For the small family, choosing Hashiba or Shibata is related to the fate of the family.

As the lord of Hino City, Kamo Hyun-hide was having a hard time making a decision, and in the end he had to find his son Shixiang to discuss it together.

Gamo Shixiang is a 27-year-old general with both wisdom and courage, and is deeply loved by Nobunaga.

"Who does father think he should choose?" Kamo Shigo asked

"How about Shibata's repair?"

"Xiu Shibata is indeed a good choice. He is the number one daimyo under the Oda family. He owns 122 million Hokuriku shi and dominates the north. He has always been the chief patriarch of the Oda family, and he has quite a reputation in the family."

I haven’t finished the introduction of Gamo’s hometown. In fact, Shibata Katsuya has always been a disciple of Oda Nobunaga. The first wife was Nobunaga’s cousin. After the death of the main wife, he has not continued.

Until recently, Oda Nobutaka married his aunt Aichi in order to unite Shibata Katsuie.This undoubtedly gave Singer a valuable political resource.Even the daimyo in the collar said "Oda Shibata, as close as family"

Nobutaka first married Ashi to Shibata, not to deal with monkeys, his real purpose was to rely on the strength of Shibata Katsuya's number one daimyo to help him suppress Oda Nobuo. He is twice as strong, without Shibata Katsuie's help, it is absolutely impossible for him to defeat this "brother".

In addition, most of those who choose to follow Shibata Katsuya are from the original Owari faction, headed by Takikawa Kazuyoshi and Sasama Naruma, plus Maeda Toshiie, Kanamori Nagachi, Sakuma Shengmasa and others Shibata Katsura The strength of the home camp should be around 220 million stone.

"So, it's really right to invest in Shibata?" Kamo Hyun-hide asked.

But Gamo Shigo shook his head and said, "Although Shibata Katsuya monopolizes the first share with 122 million shi, we all know that Hashiba Banshu and Ukita Bizen are adoptive fathers and sons, and they will definitely work together. The two families should watch it together. , If we add the 15 stones of Oda Hidenobu Hall in front of Banshu, then the total stone height that Banshu can actually control is 178.7 million stones, which is unrivaled in the world.”

"In addition, Ikeda Hengxing, Niwa Nagahide, and Tsutsui Junkei in the second group in the family are all biased towards Banshuden. The stone height controlled by Banshuden and its allies has exceeded 251 million stones, which has surpassed that of Xiudian group."

"Furthermore, although Xiu Xiu is well-known in the family, we don't know him well. Except for Kanemori Nagaki (Omi) and Tokuyama Norihide (Mino), the daimyos who follow him are all from Owari. His personality is biased toward his fellow countrymen. , Veteran, I am afraid that I will be no different from outsiders in his eyes when I vote in the past."

In fact, Kazuyoshi Takigawa is also from Iga, not a native of Owari, but he has long followed Nobunaga in the South and North, and he and Shibata Katsuie also share the same interests, and they have become acquainted with each other after going back and forth.

The meaning of Gamo’s hometown speech is very clear, but he continued to say, “The Banshu Temple is different. When he only had 30 koku in Kohoku and Harima, he dared to adjust the 50 koku of the Ukita Nao family and make it his own. His strength and strength are enough to show the charm of his personality."

"In addition, most of his retainers came after he conquered and surrendered. The famous people from all over the world can get along well with him. I think they will be treated well after coming to my family. Therefore, I think we should take refuge in Bozhou Palace."

The poor 85 Ishida Nobuo was just ignored by the daimyos of the Oda family.

In fact, Gamo's analysis is quite correct. After the Cheongju Conference, many daimyos chose to join Hideyoshi after accepting Hideyoshi's goodwill, such as Tomita Kazushiro and Hachiya Lairyu mentioned above.

As more and more people surrendered, the snowball got bigger and bigger, and Hideyoshi actually had the number one strength in the Oda family. It can be said that the end of the battle of Jianyue was divided outside of Jianyue as early as a year ago. There is a winner!
