Chapter 151
The bet between Hideo and Hideyoshi was thus set, and Hideo asked the aforementioned daimyo and troops to be transferred from the Cheongju front to Ise Songban on June 6.

There is a reason for choosing this time. Hideka expects to return to Kyoto tomorrow and lead the army to pass through Yamato and enter Ise Matsuban. It will take 12 days.

军势经过长途行军,需要进行修整,随后登船出发应该在6月7日~8日, 也就是说秀家第一波军势登录时间会是在8~9日。

Due to insufficient transport capacity, even with the addition of the ships of Hashiba Suijun and Kumano Suijun, it is not enough to transport the entire army of 2 people to Mikawa at one time.

In this case, it is an inevitable choice to divide the army into two groups for transportation. In this case, in order to avoid the combat intention being discovered by Ieyasu Tokugawa in advance, Hideka would rather let the army supported by Hideyoshi leave the Cheongju camp one step later .

Anyway, the journey from Cheongju to Songpan was only 2-3 days, and when they felt Songban boarded the boat, they could just catch up with Xiujia's second wave of offensive against Sanhe.

After agreeing on the details with Hideyoshi, Hideyoshi was ready to leave and go to rest. After all, his energy was really too much for the high-intensity rush, so Hideyoshi offered to take Hideyoshi to the camp to rest.

When the two came out of the shogunate, Xiuchang finally couldn't help asking Xiujia, "Have you forgotten what I said to you in Osaka? Why do you want me to speak more clearly in such a hurry? Understand?"

"I understand what uncle means. The size of the family is too large. It takes 7 days to go directly to Osaka from Okayama, and 5 days to reach the city of Osaka. My father will not allow such a former feudal clan in the Western Kingdom."

"Since you know why you still stand out?" Xiuchang asked puzzled.

"Uncle thinks that I can stay in Gangshan without leaving my family?" Xiujia looked into Xiuchang's eyes and looked straight at him.

"What do you mean?" Xiuchang was puzzled by Xiujia's rhetorical question.

"Every person in the world will inspect the territory after assessing the world. After the Lord Tokugawa surrenders, the first inspection of the father will not be far away." Xiujia looked at Xiuchang, calmly Said.

“本家在羽柴家的知行状上写的是备中全领18.7万石、备前全领20.5万石、美作全领15.8万石, 因幡智头郡7800石, 播磨佐用、赤穗5.5万石,合计61.28万石,如果加上父亲大人没有承认的赞岐13.2万石就是74.48万石,算的没错吧,叔父大人。”

Following Xiujia's train of thought, Xiuchang recalled the information about Xiujia leading the country in his mind, and then nodded to him in agreement.

"But these are all old calendars. After inspection last year, there were 20 shi in Bichu, 22 in Bizen, 17 in Misaku, 1.6 in Zhitou, and 5.6 in Zuoyong and Ako, totaling 66.2 shi. Sanuki is a huge territory of nearly 80 koku."

The data reported by Xiujia at this moment is the information of a ledger that it has prepared to hand over to Hideyoshi for a long time, and the actual stone height of Xiujia at this time is close to 90 shi.

Of course, this data is slightly hidden, but even so, compared to the outrageous data hidden by other foreign daimyos, it is already very real (Tosa’s 8 stone rioters and 1 soldiers are outrageous).

But this data is not enough to surprise Xiuchang, after all, this data is only slightly higher than the official data, and it is still within the controllable range, until Xiujia continued.

"After the family occupied Sanuki, they straddled both sides of the Seto Inland Sea, sitting on a powerful weapon of commerce. Last year, trade, that is, tariff income, was 10 guanwen. Do you know?" The data of the Xiu family is also underreported. In fact, this part of the income of the Xiu family Around 16 guan.

But even so, Xiuchang was still surprised. "So, isn't your family?"

"Yes, our family is not weaker than a big name with 120 million shi. It has reached the point where there is nothing to seal or reward." The Xiu family shook his head and said helplessly, as if he had recognized the reality. .

Since the time when the Xiu family traveled through time, they have only been thinking of seizing every opportunity to take advantage of it, expanding their territory and expanding their influence, and they have already acquired such a powerful influence without knowing it.

It wasn't until Hideka heard Masayuki Hanabou's report before departure from Okayama that he suddenly realized that he had reached an extremely dangerous situation.

"It's not easy for Shi Gao to hide it, but the business income is all the secrets of each family. My brother won't go into it even if he wants to. Why don't you?"

"At the beginning of the year, when I came back from Sanuki, my father had already sent Mr. Ishida Mitsunari to my territory for more than a month. I am afraid that the business situation has been basically figured out. The strength of the family is inevitable and hidden."

In fact, Xiujia was still very surprised when Hideyoshi hinted that he was hiding his strength. After all, he is Hideyoshi's blood brother, and he is also a big boss in charge of internal affairs. He would teach another daimyo to poach Hideyoshi's corner. is unheard of.

However, Hideo couldn't figure out Hideonaga's attitude towards himself and Hideyoshi at the moment, and was afraid that he was fishing for himself, so he flatly rejected his suggestion.

The two continued to walk in the camp. On the way, famous warriors kept saying hello to them. After the two returned their greetings one by one, Xiujia asked, "Does uncle know about Husong's situation?"

"Huh? What's the situation with Husong?" Xiuchang had been in Hokuriku before and didn't know anything about Husong's situation, so Xiujia dragged out all his guesses to him. After hearing about it, Xiuchang covered Xiujia's mouth and "speak carefully Be careful, don't let elder brother listen to it, because of these pretentious remarks, elder brother has already dealt with several people."

I'll go, you know how you feel, I'm afraid you were really fishing with that expression just now!
"I went to Sakamoto when I came here, and met my lord mother and Xianfa Palace, and met Young Master Husong." Xiujia said and stopped talking here, obviously she was her biological mother but she wanted to call the palace name, and she was obviously a brother , but it is a bit uncomfortable to address the young master.

But if you are not used to it, you have to say what you should say. "The situation of the young master Husong is probably not optimistic. The Xianfa Palace clearly told me that the young master Husong, who is now 2 and a half years old, still can't speak."

When Xiuchang heard this, he was slightly taken aback. At this time, the two had already arrived at the tent area that Xiuchang had arranged for the Xiu family, but Xiuchang still had no intention of leaving, so the Xiu family said to Xiuchang, "Uncle, please show me your face. Have a cup of tea in the camp?"

"That's the best."

The two got into the tent, and the guards who were 3 meters away from them stood on both sides of the tent. Xiujia asked Shimizu Yuki to pour water and make tea, and at the same time told the samurai outside the camp to stand far away and not let anyone close to eavesdropping.

When Xingya came back, Xiujia took the teapot and let him leave.

Xiujia personally boiled water and made tea for Xiuchang, and said, "Uncle has been in Osaka for a while, and I heard that there is a young woman accompanying my father every day?"

"Huh? A young woman?" Hideyoshi was a little confused by the sudden change of the subject by the Xiu family. When I thought about it carefully, when Hideyoshi was in Osaka, there was indeed a young woman beside him who was Chacha. Hideyoshi never refused her requests, even It is love.

Hideaga thought of this, and said with a smile, "That's the niece of Lord Nobunaga, Miss Chacha, the daughter of Princess Ashi, who was rescued by Kazutoyo Yamauchi from Beizhizhuang. She lost her father since she was a child, and now she has lost her mother. My elder brother can't bear it, so naturally he loves me a lot."

From the fact that Hideyoshi used the word "Love", Hideo knew that he didn't know the secrets of it. It is said that Hideyoshi was strong on Chacha the first few times. Later, it may be that Hideyoshi's ability is really outstanding, or the materials he gave The compensation was really generous, and Hideyoshi stepped up to the top of the world step by step, which made Chacha realize the reality.

In history, Chacha officially married into the Hashiba family after the Battle of Komaki Nagakute. Hideyoshi defeated Nobuo and gained a certain reputation. In order to successfully annex the political heritage of the Oda family, Hideyoshi formally brought Chacha into the harem.

In this way, Hideyoshi showed that his relationship with Nobunaga was "nephew and son-in-law" and heir. At this time, Oda's old bosses such as Shibata and Ikeda were all dead.

Niwa Changhide was squinted by the million-dollar salary, and Maeda Toshiie had no strength to resist. Hideyoshi justified his name, became an independent daimyo, and at the same time turned the Oda family into a vassal.

Calculating based on time, Hideyoshi at this moment is probably already strong on Chacha, and there is already an inexplicable relationship between the two of them.

The Xiu family knew about the future history, but the Xiu family couldn't say it at the moment, so they could only continue to probe to Xiu Chang, "Uncle thinks, if I mean that if Hu Song really does like this, what will Father do with me?"

After thinking for a while, Xiuchang said to the Xiu family, "I don't know at this time, but I know that with my brother's character, I will definitely save Husong from trouble, plump up his wings, and prepare for his future pro-government."

"Uncle said yes, so uncle thinks that Bizen million stones are in the ranks of subtraction?"

Xiu Changbai glanced at Xiu's family, and said to him, "How can you have such a guess?"

"To tell you the truth, uncle, I've already realized that I'm going to be transferred to Yiyi." Speaking of this, the Xiu family pretended to be helpless and sighed, "I just hope that my father can choose a good land for me."

Xiuchang looked at Xiujia in surprise, he really didn't expect Xiujia to have such a deep gap with Xiuji, but when Xiujia said this, Xiuchang already understood what Xiujia meant.

The Xiu family hoped to win a piece of reward for themselves by virtue of their actual military merits, and it was by virtue of their military merits that they were transferred to seals, not because of a small mistake to be changed and transferred.

Xiuchang thought he heard what the Xiu family meant, smiled helplessly, and said to him, "You don't have to be so pessimistic. You really have contributed to the growth of the Yuchai family in the past few years. I and everyone have seen it. Elder brother also knows about your matter, I will try my best to deal with it for you."

"Thank you so much, Uncle."

"By the way, what do you want?" Xiuchang was really curious about Xiujia's thoughts, so he asked

"If it can not be transferred, it is naturally the best. If it must be transferred, what about the thick tail?" In fact, Xiujia already had an idea in his heart, but he couldn't say it right away, so he threw a bait at Xiuchang first.

"How is the prestige of Nobi different from that of Okayama? Lord Nobunaga used Nobi to attack Kyoto back then, and my brother would definitely not agree." After hearing this, Hideonaga asked for a request and rejected Hideka's proposal.

"In this case, retaining Bizen and transferring it to Shikoku is also nonsense." Hideka heard that Hideunaga rejected Noo's request, and vetoed Shikoku's plan himself.

"Awa and Awaji are at the mouth of Osaka Bay, and the army is coming every day. How can you have such an illusion?"

"But think about it differently. Wouldn't it be great to have a powerful clan guarding the country?" Xiujia said with a stubborn look.

Xiuchang shook his head when he heard this, and said with some disappointment, "This kind of daimyo only needs 20 to 30 shi from the relatives, and the maximum is 40 shi. Why is there a million shi? And my brother believes in you, how can we ensure that future generations will trust each other?" ? But your proposal is very good, after I go back, I can propose to my elder brother to entrust a pro-vassal daimyo to guard Awa and Awaji as the barrier of Osaka."

"Since this is the case, I can only reseal the Kanto. Can you follow the example of Muromachi's past and seal me in the Kanto?"

At this point in the discussion, Xiuchang has rejected Xiujia twice in a row. At this moment, Xiujia put forward a proposal of transferring the seal, which happened to be within Xiuchang's consideration.

After thinking about it for a while, he said to the Xiu family, "Kanto really needs a heavyweight vassal guard. Before that, I asked my elder brother to suggest that I go there after the world is peaceful. Now it is also feasible to transfer you to Kanto. I know what happened, and I will try my best to deal with it for you."

"Thank you so much, Uncle."

"Thank you for what, I don't know how many years it will take until the Kanto is assessed. This world will belong to the two of you one day, and you still have to support each other."

At this moment, Xiuchang still does not accept that Husong may be the result of dementia, and is still making the best plan. How does he know what kind of dangers the Xiu family will experience in the future because of Husong's elder brother? These pains can only be swallowed by the Xiu family. Down.

After Xiuchang finished speaking, he drank the last sip of tea and got up to leave, then turned around and said to the Xiu family, "Go to Sanhe, be careful, victory or defeat is not important, the most important thing is to come back alive, Yuchai's family can't tolerate any more losses Yes, especially you."

"I know about this, and I will be careful." Xiujia solemnly promised to Xiuchang.

Xiujia stood up and wanted to see Xiuchang off, Xiuchang patted Xiujia on the shoulder and said, "Hachiro, I always feel relieved when you do things, but it's really hard for you to bear the burden that you shouldn't bear at this age. Don't worry, as long as I One day, I will do my best to protect you, this is my promise."

The Xiu family watched Xiu Chang go away, secretly happy in his heart, the biggest gain this time was not the permission to attack Sanhe, but the favor and promise of Xiu Chang.

Hidecho has inherited Takenaka Hanbei's way of being a gentleman, and he values ​​promises the most. Now that the Hide family has received the protection he promised, in the future, they will no longer be walking on thin ice like in the past in the Hashiba shogunate.
