After hearing Hideyoshi's description, Hideyoshi and Hidenaga looked at each other, and said with some dissatisfaction, "So we still lost a little in this Ryukyu battle? In the end, it was the peace they gave us?"
When Hideyoshi heard Hideyoshi's attitude, Hideka secretly called out, "It's bad, I've made Ryukyu stronger. Don't let the Kyushu daimyo attack Ryukyu."
Xiujia hurriedly said, "It can't be said that, if our army lost to the Ryukyu army, the Ryukyu king would not choose to surrender to his father and provide such a humble condition.
Although the main family suffered heavy losses, the loss of the Ryukyu Army was not small. After the war, the main family still controlled the central part of Ryukyu and the Katsuki Peninsula, occupying places such as Shenglian City. This was also an important factor why the Ryukyu king chose to surrender. "
But Xiujia explained that Hideyoshi didn't seem to listen, and looked at Xiujia and asked, "Since there is a former battalion, if I give you 2 troops, it may be possible to wipe out Ryukyu?"
Hideyo didn't expect that his explanation would make Hideyoshi want to destroy Ryukyu. He was silent for a moment and thought about the next words.
After a while, he nodded and said to Hideyoshi, "Yes, first use Shenglian and other cities to hoard military rations, and then go on an expedition after the military rations are ready, and we can overcome Ryukyu in about 2 years."
"Why two more years!" Hideyoshi was obviously not satisfied with Hideo's answer, he jumped up and shouted.
Seeing that Hideyoshi was a little angry, Hideka hurriedly explained, "Fei'erchen refused to contribute because the Ryukyu city was built with stone bases, and the city walls were vertical to the ground. It was difficult to attack with iron cannons and rockets, so they could only use ropes and ladders." Ants attacking the city caused a lot of casualties and took too long."
Hideyoshi asked again: "What if you add 5 people?"
"Multiple approaches can be broken in one year!"
"One more year?!"
"The stone city is hard to break, isn't that what you know best, father? Otherwise, what's the point of your building the Osaka?"
"." Hearing Hideo's answer, Hideyoshi was at a loss for words.
Fortunately, Xiuchang said from the side about this matter, "In this way, it takes a year with 5 troops to take down a small country with 1 shi, which is really time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Brother, after you take it, there is a high probability that it will be entrusted to other people, and what is the difference from letting the Ryukyu Shang family rule now?As long as the Ryukyu Shang family obeys, it won't be long. "
Hidecho is the person in charge of the internal affairs of Toyotomi's family. He quickly figured out that this was a bad deal, so he took the initiative to persuade Hideyoshi.
At this time, Xiujia added a sentence from the side and said, "There is still a difference."
Hearing that there was a difference between Hideyoshi and Hidecho, they all looked at Hideka.Hidecho didn't understand the difference, while Hideyoshi just ignited the fire of passion that had just been extinguished.
Xiujia gestured to the two of them and said slowly, "Ryukyu is a vassal state that surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and there is a Zhuyin certificate of franchise to the Ming Dynasty in its hand, so it can directly trade with the Ming Dynasty.
It is also by virtue of this Zhuyin certificate that it became a distribution center for goods from the Ming Dynasty, Japan, and Luzon, benefiting from trade.
If you, my lord father, occupy Ryukyu and have other names, Ming will know that Ryukyu has changed its flag, and the Zhuyin certificate will naturally be invalidated. In this way, Ryukyu will lose its trade franchise with Ming, and the income will be greatly reduced. I am afraid that the annual offering will be huge. discount. "
The Xiu family's meaning is very clear. If you don't fight Ryukyu, Ryukyu is still a vassal of the Ming Dynasty on the surface. The trade volume of Ryukyu can be guaranteed, and your annual income will be stable.
If you hit Ryukyu, you spent a lot of money to entrust another daimyo, and in the end the trade with Ming was gone, the income was greatly reduced, and the tribute to you was naturally gone.
Hideyoshi also worked as a small merchant in the past, and he could figure out the economic account here, so naturally he dispelled the idea of conquest of Ryukyu again.
But in name, he said to Xiujia and Xiuchang, "Since the Ryukyu royal family is so obedient to me, and it is acknowledging the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, and it is sending his wife and making offerings, then I will accept his surrender for the time being. "
Hearing Hideyoshi's decision, Hideyoshi and Hideyoshi saluted him one after another, presenting his "sage."
Hideyoshi waved his hand helplessly. In fact, he still wanted to conquer Ryukyu in his heart, but he felt that the cost-effectiveness is not high now. When he conquered the Ming Dynasty, Ryukyu would naturally no longer need to exist.
He looked at Xiu's family again, and said to Xiu's family, "This time you worked hard on an expedition and won the Ryukyu for me. Tell me what kind of reward you want?"
Hideyoshi took the initiative to ask Hideyoshi for a reward, which made Hideyoshi a little confused. He didn't know what Hideyoshi's purpose was for asking himself, but he knew very well that he must not show a humble attitude at this time.
The reason is very simple. It is true that Hideyoshi asked for his order to conquer Ryukyu this time, but Hideyoshi did not give any support. Just now Hideyoshi even cried with Hideyoshi about the "heavy loss", and then humbly said to Hideyoshi that this is what a courtier should do Son, do you think Hideyoshi believes it or not.
Not to mention ten thousand, the Okayama Domain lost a lot in the battle of Ryukyu, which resulted in the surrender of Ryukyu. As the head of the family, even if it is to flatter you, you have to be responsible for the samurai who died in the battle, right? You don’t want to reward now, So what exactly do you want?
Therefore, Hideyoshi at this moment must show his greed in order to make Hideyoshi let go of his guard against him.
I only heard him say to Hideyoshi, "I will not lose much in the battle of Ryukyu. I ask my father to allow me to monopolize the trade with Ryukyu and give Zhu Yin's permission. At the same time, I will give you more than a thousand stones of Yusheng Peninsula and Shenglian City ceded by Ryukyu. Me, let me place meritorious soldiers."
"Give you a trade license?" Hideyoshi thought for a while, and said to the Hideo family, "This request is not too much, anyway, Ryukyu's geographical location is a bit remote, and your Hideo family can do business again, so it's good to let you be in charge of Ryukyu trade. , and this matter shall be dealt with.”
Toyotomi Hidecho on the side also echoed, "Hachiro made great contributions to the Battle of Ryukyu. I think it is too little to give you the Ryukyu trade franchise."
When Hideyoshi asked Hideyoshi about the rewards, the small meeting about Ryukyu was basically over, but Hideyoshi not only expressed his gratitude to Hideyoshi, but also continued to say to Hideyoshi: "The rewards from my father, I have one more thing to do. You need to inform your father in advance, so that your father can make a holy judgment."
Hearing that Hideyoshi brought up a new topic, Hideyoshi and Hideumaga asked strangely, "Do you have any questions?"
"There is indeed a major matter that needs to be reported, and it is also about Ryukyu, and it is not a small matter, so I dare not judge it arbitrarily." Hideka responded to Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
Hideyoshi felt that the seriousness of Hideo's attitude was serious, so he motioned for Hideo to answer, "Oh? Let's hear it."
"It's about the ownership of the Ryukyu throne." Hideyoshi, who was allowed by Hideyoshi, immediately explained the succession of the Ryukyu throne like Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Toyotomi Hidecho.
The two brothers looked at each other after hearing this, Hideyoshi thought for a moment, and asked Hideyoshi, "Since the Ryukyu King Shang Yong has already selected an heir, why did you report this matter again?"
"It's not that the son deliberately reported it, but the Ryukyu royal family asked his father to make a decision. This matter will be raised by the Ryukyu envoy Guotou Shi to his father tomorrow when he is in the palace. The child will inform his father in advance so that his father can prepare."
After Xiujia finished speaking, he added, "Look, Father, the Ryukyu royal family even asks you about the right to inherit the throne. This has no attitude towards the Ming Dynasty, which is enough to show that he surrendered to you."
Hideyoshi's compliments on the Hideo family were very useful, and he said to the Hideo family, "Since this is the case, why don't you let him play and make that young man from Xiaolu's family king."
When Hideyoshi reported this answer, the smile on Hideyoshi's face froze. Hideyoshi soon noticed the change in Hideyoshi's expression, and asked Hideyoshi, "Is there something wrong, Hachiro?"
"Ah! No, no, no, it's not inappropriate. The establishment of Xiaolu's family as heirs does conform to the tradition. It is enough to show its orthodoxy, but"
Hideyoshi followed Hideyoshi's hesitant appearance and asked, "But what?"
"What do you think of Li Fengjian's son succeeding the Ryukyu throne?"
"Toyotomi Kanji?" Hideyoshi asked strangely, "Which one is this?"
"It is a member of the Gushan family that Ryukyu presented to you. Shang Chaoxiao, the son of Fengjian Shi Shangchao Chen, is 15 years old and is at the most suitable age. Her aunt is your concubine. What did he say? It can be regarded as your relatives, isn't it?"
Because Hideyoshi's blood is very thin, he pays special attention to relatives. For example, Hideaki Kobayakawa and Hideji Toyotomi are Hideyoshi's nephews, and Asano Nagamasa is also Ning Ning's cousin.
When the Xiu family presented Gu Shan's younger brother, Hideyoshi groaned slightly, "En!~" As if approving the plan, he said to the Xiu family, "Your idea is a good one."
"Xiaozhu, what do you think of this idea?" After speaking, Hideyoshi looked at Hideumaga, trying to seek approval from his eyes.
Toyotomi Hidecho is a very orthodox samurai, especially when it comes to samurai succession, he attaches great importance to the orthodox tradition, so when the Hide family mentioned this plan, Toyotomi Hidecho frowned.
But Xiujia is Hideunaga's son-in-law after all, and Hideaga is very fond of Xiujia. Because of this relationship, although he didn't like Hidejia's idea of changing the Ryukyu kingship, he didn't comment on it.
Now Hideyoshi took the initiative to ask his opinion, he struggled for a moment and said, "Hachiro's idea is not a choice, but I think the inheritance of the throne is still in accordance with the order of seniority."
Hideyoshi got the answer from Hideonaga, and looked at Hideka again, waiting for Hideka's answer to this question.
The Xiu family replied, "Uncle's words are wrong. I think that Shang Chaode is the same as Shang Chaoxiao. They are both children of a separate family. It is because King Shang Yong has no heirs that he can inherit the Datong. Who is the successor is not a choice?
Now the Ryukyu King Sho'ong took the initiative to ask his father's opinion. As his lord, his father should give corrections as he should.
Don’t you think that the Oda Youfu also got involved in the succession of the Maeda family back then?In terms of the orthodox order of succession, wouldn't Keijiro Maeda's interests back then be more correct than the current Maeda Gonyou Lieutenant General (Maeda Toshiie)? "
Hearing Hideo talking about Maeda Toshiie and Oda Nobunaga, Hideyoshi suddenly yelled at Hideo, saying, "Shut up, You Fu and Maeda Lieutenant General are also your beaks?"
"It's my son Menglang, but I still have to say what my son should say." The Xiu family bowed and apologized to Hideyoshi, "Thinking that Shangde Chen is the heir to the Ryukyu throne, even if my father straightens him, he will not be grateful for his father's kindness.
But Shang Chaoxiao is different, his father is equivalent to his uncle, and his father helped him upright, and the Toyami Shishi behind him must be grateful to his father, and there will be no more worries about rebellion in Ryukyu. "
Hideyoshi was very satisfied with Hideo's answer, but he still looked at Hideumaga and asked again, "What do you think, Xiaozhu?"
Hideyoshi already understood that Hideyoshi's heart was determined, so he stopped trying to argue, and said to Hideyoshi, "What Hachiro said makes sense, brother can decide on his own. I'm just worried that Shang Chaoxiao is still young, and I'm afraid he won't be able to accept it." Everyone."
Hideyoshi nodded for Hideonaga's worry, and looked at Hideka again.
In his opinion, since the Xiu family had proposed a plan, they must have thought of the problems and had a solution in mind.
The Xiu family replied to the two of them, "You can send capable ministers from the center to go to Ryukyu as ministers. Our family already owns Yusheng Peninsula and Shenglian City. We can use this as our main force to gradually penetrate into the interior of Ryukyu. The first step is to control Ryukyu throne and center."
"Okay!" Hideyoshi was very satisfied with Hideo's suggestion, and then asked, "Who can be the prime minister?"
To Hideyoshi's question, Hideyo gave the first answer: "Ishida Osamu is extremely capable, more than enough to lead a country."
Regarding this answer, Hideyoshi shook his head and denied, "Ishida Jibu is deeply in my heart, and I can't leave the center lightly. I should choose another person."
So, Xiujia gave a second answer: "How about the Otani Criminal Department?"
Regarding Xiujia's second big answer, Hideyoshi thought for a moment and shook his head, "Punishment Department may have good ability, but lack of experience. There is no experience in managing tens of thousands of stone territories. I am afraid it is not appropriate to send them there."
Both answers were denied, and Hideyoshi originally threw out a third answer, but Hideyoshi didn't look at him again at all, but instead looked at Hideonaga and asked, "Xiaozhu, do you have any suggestions here?"
Hidecho looked at Hideyoshi and then at Hideka and said, "Since my elder brother has granted Hachiro the enclave of Ryukyu Shenglian City, why not let Hachiro choose a minister to go out of Ryukyu, anyway, isn't Hachiro in charge of trade with Ryukyu. "
Regarding this answer, Hideyoshi remained silent. He obviously did not want the Hideo family to hand over the Ryukyu Kingdom's governance rights to them on the premise that the Hideo family had already obtained the Ryukyu trade concession.
Hideyoshi seems to have seen Hideyoshi's mind, so he proposed a relatively compromised solution to Hideyoshi, "Don't you think that the Ministry of Justice is not capable? Why don't you let him go to Ryukyu as his deputy to see how Hachiro governs the territory? It's also easy to learn from." experience."
After getting the answer, Hideyoshi looked at Hideo and asked his answer, "How about Hachiro, is this okay?"
"Yes, of course there is no problem. In fact, I have already thought about the candidate, that is, Kamei Tomoki, who was transferred to serve me by my father, and is now the owner of Iyo 1.75 koku. There is absolutely no problem with his ability.
Kamei Tomoki led the team to conquer Ryukyu this time. I originally planned to entrust him with Katsushiro City and Yusheng Peninsula, and now it is appropriate to let him recognize Ryukyu. "
"Kamei Musashi?" Hideyoshi thought for a while, finally nodded and said, "He does have some ability, so let's do it this way, temporarily let him serve as Ryukyu Prime Minister.
At the end, he still did not forget to tell the Xiu family: "You have to tell him to supervise the country with all his heart, and when the reality matures, let my good nephew take charge."
"Yes, Father Shengming"
Although the final result was not very satisfying, and the monkey had placed a little girl in Ryukyu, overall, the purpose of Xiujia's trip had been achieved.
