Chapter 394 Kagekatsu Uesugi and Kanesuke Naoe
"Absolutely not!" As soon as Chacha finished speaking, Xiu Zhang and Xiu Jia refused in unison.
The two rejected Chacha's request at the same time, startling everyone in the hall, even the two parties were surprised at each other's coordination.
Xiuchang and Xiujia looked at each other and said, "My uncle's daughter, Ju Ji, and I have already made a marriage contract. I will marry her when she is born. I have been waiting for 3 years now. This is a well-known thing in the world. How could it be possible to remarry someone else at this time."
Hearing the two refused, Chacha was unmoved and thought of attacking coquettishly, "General Gangshan is now 15 years old, and it is the time when a man's experience is the most vigorous. The concubine heard that His Highness (Xiu's) Ouzhong has married 4 wives and concubines, but now the main palace is missing.
Now that we even have an eldest son, how can we do this without a head mother to educate the offspring?
Although His Highness (Xiujia) has a marriage contract with Da Nayan's daughter Aju, it is not known when Aju will come of age, nor when His Highness will be able to get married.
Ah Jiang is different, when the grade happens to be, your Highness (Hideyoshi) you know her temperament, she is the most gentle and considerate person, and she can marry General Okayama in advance, to help He does not run the house. "
Hearing Chacha blowing the wind to Hideyoshi, Xiujia noticed that the expressions of Ningning and Xiuchang had changed, but this occasion was related to Ajiang and Xiujia, and Ningning was not good to intervene.
Even if Xiuchang himself wanted to refuse, as an elder and the father of another party, it was somewhat inappropriate to speak out.
In the end, Xiujia could only come forward, reject and warn Chacha in a very stern tone, not to wishful thinking.
"As for A Jiang's matter, I personally do sympathize with her, but please forgive me for refusing such a rude request.
Ah Jiang is also Xiaoji's wife, the daughter-in-law of my Toyotomi family.And I am also my father's son, and my future wife is my uncle's daughter.We are all relatives of my father, and it is a matter of internal marriage, so there is no need to make it so complicated.
Ah Jiang is your sister, I understand your feelings, but please pay attention to what you said, Mrs. Chacha.
Besides, my uncle asked me a few days ago how my preparations for Ju Ji's marriage were going. Ju Ji is ready to marry me this year. "
The Xiu family's words were so harsh that they pointed at Chacha's nose and scolded him for disturbing the internal harmony of Toyotomi's family.
As for the last sentence that Xiuchang said to him, he made it up by himself, and the purpose was to completely eliminate Chacha's idea of marrying Ajiang to him by taking advantage of the time difference.
Sure enough, Hideyoshi heard the meaning of Xiu's words, turned his head to Chacha and retorted, "When we men are discussing things, don't interrupt me indiscriminately."
Chacha, who had just been scolded by Xiujia and scolded by Hideyoshi, twisted her face into a horrible look, and then she got angry and pulled Ajiang's arm and walked out, "Sister, come with me, stay here with me." A few days, so that the men in your family will cherish you."
For the Xiu family, Ah Jiang may be a good mistress for the power itself, but he will never be a good wife or a good mistress for the daimyo itself.
Having been together for a long time, experiencing the successive deaths of her father and mother prematurely, and the perverted emotions of her uncle (Hideyoshi), she has a paranoid understanding of the world.
As long as she can give birth, she will never allow her husband to find another concubine. This can be seen from the fact that Toyotomi Hidekatsu and Tokugawa Hidetada have only one wife in history.
This request may seem insignificant, but please don't forget that the Ukita Nao family has only one heir of the Xiu family, and the Uki family's heirs are already weak. Received.
In the future, the Xiu family will inevitably travel back and forth between Kyoto and Okayama. As the mistress, A Jiang has a heavenly and human power to suppress the concubines and heirs of the Xiu family.
As for A Jiang's ability to control Da'ao, he learned from Chacha's heretics. It is impossible for the Xiu family to keep an eye on the mansion, and maybe accidents will happen if they don't pay attention once.
Rather than taking these risks, it is better to avoid them at the beginning. Yu Xijia is definitely not suitable for anyone who wants to jump into this pit of A Jiang.
Apart from Yuxi's family's own problems, don't forget that Xiu's younger brother was adopted under Ning Ning's name, and Xiu's family and Ning Ning are regarded as political alliances.
Chacha wanted to marry A Jiang to Xiu's family at this time, it might not have the purpose of winning over Xiu's family, at least to neutralize Xiu's family.
But on the political battlefield, betrayers are the most hated by everyone. As long as Hu Song is still alive, it is impossible for Xiu Jiajiu to stand in Chacha's camp.
For Xiuchang, the marriage between Xiujia and Ju Ji has been announced to the world. At this time, it is against Xiuchang's face to say that he repented of the marriage and married A Jiang.
Not to mention that Xiuchang valued Xiujia, he helped Xiujia many times in the past.Even without these experiences in the past, it is impossible for the Xiu family to hate the second big brother of the Toyotomi family just because of Chacha's two or three words. After all, Xiuji often listens to his advice when practicing.
To sum up, the Xiu family actually had no choice when faced with Chacha's temptation, they had to be clear about it, and refused with a burst of words.
It's just that, for the Xiu family to slap Chacha so big, they have completely turned against Chacha and the faction behind it.
Hideyoshi watched Chacha sulk and pulled A Jiang away, and then vented his anger on Xiusheng. After all, everything this evening was caused by this guy.
In the end, he issued a final disposition order to Xiusheng, "ordering Xiusheng to ground himself for self-reflection, and at the same time asking him to treat Ah Jiang well in the future."
In the end, this matter, after all, was held up high and put down gently because of the sake of Toyotomi's family's face.
But many people heard the wailing at night, and Hideyoshi could only spread the news that it was the sound of a maid being blamed for not taking good care of her.
After Hideyoshi scolded enough, he remembered the last sentence that Hideyoshi just said. He turned his head to look at Hideonaga and asked, "Is what Hachiro just said true? Can Juji get married this year?"
When Hideyoshi asked Hideyoshi about this kind of thing, he didn't know how to answer it. After all, in Eastern thinking, topics related to sex are taboo.
What's more, when he said these words, it was obviously made up by the Xiu family, but he could understand why the Xiu family said such things, and it was difficult to refute them.
Seeing Xiuchang's flushed face, Ning Ning joked to Hideyoshi, "Oh, Your Highness, what are you asking. It's about your daughter's secret matter, how can you let Xiaozhu answer you. "
"Hahaha" Hideyoshi may also feel that something is wrong, he used laughter to cover up his embarrassment, turned around and asked in a different way of expression, "Can Xiaoju really get out of the cabinet this year?"
Hideonaga didn't know how to answer Hideyoshi, so he nodded awkwardly and said "Yes".
Hideyoshi seemed very happy after being confirmed by Xiuchang, turned his head and said to Xiujia, "Then let's do it before the end of this year. You should prepare well after you go back, and come to me when everything is settled."
But when the conversation changed, he warned the Xiu family, "Xiaoju, I take care of him as my own daughter. You can't treat him badly like Xiaoji. If you let me know, I will definitely not be able to get around you!"
"Yes, yes" Hideyoshi responded to Hideyoshi's threat.
But everyone knows that Hideyoshi will never do anything against Ju Ji, so Hideyoshi's warning and Hideyoshi's answer are spoken in a half-joking way, and the hall is also immersed in the joy of dealing with the new couple's marriage. In the mood.
The farce last night really hurt Hideyoshi's face. After all, Jule Mansion is Hideyoshi's newly built residence, and it will be the political center in the future, but such a thing happened last night. How could the word "joy" be used correctly.
But to save face is to save face, the daimyos must be secretly laughing, and it is impossible to show it in front of Hideyoshi.
No matter what kind of impact what happened last night will have on Daimyo's heart, everyone will have to face a major event after dawn, that is, the guard of honor of the Uesugi family will come from Nakdong.
As representatives of the Toyotomi family, Hideyoshi and Hideka were asked by Hideyoshi to go out of Luoyang to meet them.
It may be because of Uesugi Kenshin's reputation, or because Hideyoshi needs the Uesugi family to contain Kanto, Hideyoshi takes special care of Uesugi Jingsheng.
Since Hideyoshi became Guanbai in 1585 and issued the "Order of Nothing in the World", Jingsheng Uesugi is still playing Shibata Shigeka.
In the 16th year of Tianzheng (1588), Honjo Fancho, Honjo Yoshikatsu and his son were ordered to attack Shonai, defeated the Supreme Army in the Battle of Shishiliyuan, and took the three counties of Shonai into their hands.
In the 17th year of Tensho (1589), Uesugi Jingsheng crossed the sea to crusade against the Honma clan of Sado Kingdom, pacified Sado Kingdom, and took Sado Jinshan into his hands.
If it were another family, even Hideyoshi's genealogy daimyo would have been taken over by Gai Yi long ago, and only the Uesugi family would give so much preferential treatment.
However, in hindsight, it may be that in 1587, the Hide family planned to give Maeda Toshiie the full reward of Etchu, so they exchanged the Echchu territory of 8 koku in Sinkawa County (and east of Uozu Castle) Its permission to attack Shonai and Sado.
Of course, there is no historical record of all this, but if it is not understood in this way, it is difficult to explain why Uesugi Jingsheng violated the order of nothing to do without being punished in the slightest.
Uesugi Jingsheng came from Echigo this time, and his most important retainer Naoe Kanetsugu also went to Luo. In order to show his importance to the Uesugi family, Hideyoshi specially welcomed them in the main hall of Juraku, and let the matter stay in Juraku. The daimyo who did not leave Le Di attended the meeting together.
Uesugi Jingsheng sat in the main hall, surrounded by Hideka, Tokugawa and other daimyo. After everything was settled, Uesugi Jingsheng reported to Hideyoshi, "I'm really sorry, Your Highness Kanbai, because of the Echigo Shibata incident Delayed."
Uesugi Jingsheng said and glanced back at Naoe Kanatsuki, "Bring the things up."
Naoe Kenzuku nodded in agreement, and asked the attendants behind him to bring up two trays, "Thanks to His Highness Kanbai's care and support, the Uesugi family was able to quickly pacify the rebellious minister Shinbata Shigeka.
Due to the long distance, it is not easy to preserve the head. Here, the pickled ears of the rebellious minister Xinfatian Zhongjia are offered here to straighten his body, and the Xinfatianjia treasured sword "Fifty Gongye Long Cut" is presented here. "
Unlike the West, Japanese culture is not accustomed to presenting soil and water that symbolize territory, but likes to treat the enemy's most precious things as gifts as proof of defeating the enemy.
Hideyoshi quickly inspected the two things like a process, and said to Uesugi Jingsheng, "It is really a good knife, I will not accept this knife, you can enshrine it to the main hall of Uesugi (Kenshin Uesugi), okay Let him know that you have completed the unification of Echigo, and let him know that he did not choose the wrong heir."
"Ha~ Kaya," said Uesugi Kagekatsu, saluting to Hideyoshi.
Hideyoshi's love for Uesugi Jingsheng was beyond words. He looked at Uesugi Jingsheng and continued: "This hall has just been built. Major General Uesugi, you are his first guest."
After Hideyoshi finished speaking, he looked at Toyotomi Hidecho who was beside him, and he unfolded the award certificate to sing the award to Uesugi Kagekatsu.
It can be clearly seen from here that Toyotomi Hideyoshi is good to Uesugi Kekatsumasa, everyone else is a big pot of rice, and Ikoma Chimasa is responsible for the roll call, and he Uesugi Kagekatsu is the second in command of Toyotomi Group Toyotomi Hideo The chief took charge of it himself, which really gave him enough face.
"Major General Uesugi Zuo Konoe Kwon, loyal to the public body, appraised the meritorious service of the Echigo Rebellion, and was promoted to the position of four ministers, and promoted to the position of three subordinates. He also gave the surname of Feng Chen's courtiers to show Guanbai's luck; Specially bestow Wuqitong patterns to show the emperor's luck."
"Wuqi Tongwen?" Hearing this key term, Xiujia suddenly shook his wits. This is something he could only dream of. Tian Zhong's family got the five-seven paulownia pattern.
You must know that the Xiu family has been expanding the territory for Hideyoshi, and they are fighting an external war.
The Shinbata Shige family that Uesugi Jingsheng fought was originally a retainer of the Uesugi family, which belonged to the suppression of civil strife.
As a result, in the end, the Hide family didn't get the Wuqitong pattern, but Uesugi Kagekatsu came out on top. Those who didn't know thought Uesugi Kagekatsu was Hideyoshi's illegitimate son.
In fact, it’s not just the Xiu family. When they heard that Hideyoshi rewarded Uesugi Kagekatsu with the Wuqi Tongwen, many daimyos in the hall changed. After all, this is the flag representing the emperor, which symbolizes the permission of the emperor. .
After Toyotomi Hidecho read the award and Uesugi Kekatsu thanked him, Hideyoshi said to Naoe Kanetsugu behind him, "I heard that Naoe-sama contributed a lot in the battle to quell Echigo.
Your ability is exactly what I value. Today I sincerely invite you to be my retainer. I am willing to offer 15 shi from Ise to invite you to be my direct minister. How about this generous condition? "
Hideyoshi may really like Naoe Kanetsugu. Gathering at Hideyoshi, he invited Naoe Kanetsugu twice, but he refused. Finally, with Uesugi Kagekatsu's transfer to Aizu, he was awarded Yonezawa's 30 exclusive collar, becoming the world's No. [-] A companion.
Hearing that Hideyoshi was willing to offer 15 koku to recruit Naoe Kanetsugu, many people in the temple expressed surprise. After all, in their perception, Echigo Tomoyo only had a total of 39 koku. How could Hideyoshi be willing to use [-]% of it to recruit a Retainer.
It's just that this data is too old. Since Echigo has been led by Nagao-Uesugi, the real situation of Echigo is unknown.
His knowledge and practice already exceeded 45 shi after the Taiko inspection site. By the time of the Keicho inspection site (1593), Echigo’s knowledge and practice had grown to 63 koku. Stones, until the Genroku period (1645-85) Echigo Zhixing soared to 1697 stones.
The most important reason why Echigo received such an outrageous seal was the development of the Niigata Plain.
In the past, like Musashi, there are swamps everywhere. During the rainy season, a river can change its course at will and eventually wash away the crops on the side. It is a bad field that is difficult to cultivate.
At that time, the total number of Zhixing in Puyuan County was only 10 shi, but in the Yuanlu period, Zhixing in Shanjun County, Puyuan County, which had undergone flood control, soared to 537 shi.
If it is only at this time that the five counties of Echigo Neck Castle, Kanaba, Uonuma, Koshi, and Mishima, the Nagaoka Domain that was once the core territory of Echigo, the total of the five counties Zhixing is only 5 shi.
The output of this knowledge and practice is almost equal to that of a country in one county.
The reason why the Shibata Shigee rebellion lasted for a long time was because the rivers in Niigata were flooded and swamps were everywhere.
The rivers and swamps formed a natural barrier here, making the Shibata clan an independent kingdom geographically separated from the Echigo clan.
But the Uesugi-Nagao family, far away in Kasuga Mountain City, could not do anything to him, so they could only implement the rule of restraint.
Jimi has ruled for a long time, and the Shibata family will inevitably have a different feeling, especially the Shibata Shige family who has already made an expedition to Dewa Shonai to expand their territory.
The politeness of the Uesugi family to him and the victory of the foreign war made him feel that he could do it. In addition, Uesugi Jingsheng belonged to the young master and did not have the prestige of Uesugi Kenshin, which made him have a different idea. Then set off a rebellion.
Tomorrow (Monday) will be off for a day (no update), please let me know.
One day off a month, don't rush me.

His knowledge and practice already exceeded 45 shi after the Taiko inspection site. By the time of the Keicho inspection site (1593), Echigo’s knowledge and practice had grown to 63 koku. Stones, until the Genroku period (1645-85) Echigo Zhixing soared to 1697 stones.
The most important reason why Echigo received such an outrageous seal was the development of the Niigata Plain.
In the past, like Musashi, there are swamps everywhere. During the rainy season, a river can change its course at will and eventually wash away the crops on the side. It is a bad field that is difficult to cultivate.
At that time, the total number of Zhixing in Puyuan County was only 10 shi, but in the Yuanlu period, Zhixing in Shanjun County, Puyuan County, which had undergone flood control, soared to 537 shi.
If it is only at this time that the five counties of Echigo Neck Castle, Kanaba, Uonuma, Koshi, and Mishima, the Nagaoka Domain that was once the core territory of Echigo, the total of the five counties Zhixing is only 5 shi.
The output of this knowledge and practice is almost equal to that of a country in one county.
The reason why the Shibata Shigee rebellion lasted for a long time was because the rivers in Niigata were flooded and swamps were everywhere.
The rivers and swamps formed a natural barrier here, making the Shibata clan an independent kingdom geographically separated from the Echigo clan.
But the Uesugi-Nagao family, far away in Kasuga Mountain City, could not do anything to him, so they could only implement the rule of restraint.
Jimi has ruled for a long time, and the Shibata family will inevitably have a different feeling, especially the Shibata Shige family who has already made an expedition to Dewa Shonai to expand their territory.
The politeness of the Uesugi family to him and the victory of the foreign war made him feel that he could do it. In addition, Uesugi Jingsheng belonged to the young master and did not have the prestige of Uesugi Kenshin, which made him have a different idea. Then set off a rebellion.
Tomorrow (Monday) will be off for a day (no update), please let me know.
One day off a month, don't rush me.
