"My lord, my son has one more request."
"What else?"
"I implore Father, to grant Musashi Morishin the official position."
"New office? What does he want?"
"Please give Ryukyu the post of Shou so that he has the legal principles to supervise Ryukyu."
Hideyoshi originally thought that Hideyoshi would ask for a high-ranking official position for Kamei Tomoki, after all, Musashi Mamoru's official position itself has already been from the top five and Daikoku Mamoru.
Now when he heard that the Xiu family wanted the official position of Ryukyu Shou, he froze for a moment and asked, "Ryukyu Shou?"
He looked at Hidecho Toyotomi and asked, "What kind of official position is this Ryukyu Shou?"
Hidecho thought for a while and replied, "It seems that the imperial court does not have such an official position. According to Hachiro, the Zhixing of the Ryukyu Islands is about [-] shi. I think it is about the same as Tango and Wakasa. It should be regarded as a Chinese guard."
Hideyoshi got the answer from Hidecho, and instead asked Hideo strangely, "What's wrong with Kamei Musashi? Musashi Shou is the fifth-ranked grand national guard, and he actually asked me to bestow the sixth-ranked Chinese guard. official position."
Asking Hideyoshi, Hideyoshi reminded him: "Did Your Highness forget that when he was in Tajima, he begged you to give him the post of Ryukyu Guard, and he was willing to fight for you and guard Ryukyu?"
After being reminded by Xiujia, Hideyoshi suddenly realized: "It seems that there is such a thing. From this, it can be seen that Musashi Mamoru really has not forgotten his original intention."
"It's no problem to give him the post of Ryukyu garrison, but how can one person serve as the garrison of both countries?" Hideyoshi continued to Hideo, "It happened that he had not been rewarded for his crusade against Ryukyu, so he was transferred to the left to be one of the five subordinates, Shikibu Daisuke." Let’s strengthen the Ryukyu defense at the same time.”
It has to be said that Hideyoshi is very similar to his predecessor Oda Nobunaga in giving awards to those who value him.
Hideyoshi just used Kamei Tomoki to make a modest joke with Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the past, which made Hideyoshi value Kamei Tomoki and directly promoted him to an official rank.
You must know that the fifth rank is already considered a big official position, and it is at the same rank as the left and right guard major generals.
Hideyo who got this result was very satisfied, and thanked Hideyoshi first instead of Kamei Tomoki.
After the meeting was over, seeing that it was already getting late, Hidecho and Hideka bid farewell to Hideyoshi and then turned to leave. Only Hideyoshi and Sen Rikyu were left in the tea room.
Hideyoshi picked up a bowl of hot tea and took a sip, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, he looked at Qian Rikyu very seriously and asked: "Qian Rikyu, what do you think of the right general?"
Sen Rikyu put on a new bowl of tea for Hideyoshi and replied, "General You Konoe is young but has outstanding abilities. He is His Highness Kanbai's right-hand man. With General U Konoe here, His Highness Kanbai's world will surely be peaceful for a long time."
Hideyoshi seemed dissatisfied with such official language, and asked a little irritably, "Is there any more?"
Sen Rikyu glanced at Hideyoshi, and replied again, "General Zuo Konoe's ability is the most outstanding among His Highness's many sons and nephews, and there are only a handful of people in the world who surpass General Right.
From what I have seen and heard today, the position of the leader of the Ryukyu country is actually being manipulated by him, which shows his strategy and courage.General Toyotomi is like a group of heroic spirit, when the hero is there, he can assist the hero to dominate the universe, just as he assists His Royal Highness.
And if a person like him meets a mediocre person, I'm afraid he will replace him just like Ukita Dazai Xiakegami Urakami's family did back then.
Fortunately, the successor of His Royal Highness Guan Bai is General Feng Chen's brother, Young Master Husong. I think that General You, although he is a hero, has a weakness, that is, he attaches great importance to family affection. As long as Young Master Husong is in power, he should be able to To assist the young master like assisting His Highness. "
Sen Rikyu's answer made Hideyoshi very satisfied. The portraits of Hideo's characters were consistent with what he thought in his heart, but at this moment, Sen Rikyu changed the subject and re-evoked Hideyoshi's heartstrings, "It's just."
"Just what?" Hideyoshi asked urgently.
"It's just that the land of Jibei has been sealed and nothing can be sealed. Originally, the land of Kyushu was the best place to house the right general, but His Highness Guan Bai did not choose to transfer him to Kyushu. I think he has other ideas.
It's better to keep such male lord's evil spirit away from the center. His Highness made preparations in the morning, either move it as a whole, or split it up, so don't let the evil spirit collide with your own life. "
Sen Rikyu named the relationship between Hideo and Hideyoshi in an extremely metaphysical way. Hideyoshi understood what he meant, but still scolded, "Quack, are you trying to drive a wedge between our father and son?"
————————————————————————
Different from the suspenseful and gunpowder-flavored dialogue between Hideyoshi and Sen Rikyu in the tea room, the dialogue between Hideonaga and Hideya who are walking down the city road is particularly dull.
Xiuchang kept asking about the bodies of Xiujia and Juji along the way, and even asked Xiujia to convey his kindness to Jianxingyuan and Tongfangyuan on his behalf. From Xiujia's point of view, it was Xiuchang who wanted to say something, but didn't know How to speak.
So Xiujia took the initiative to say to Xiuchang, "Just now in the palace, my father-in-law seems to have some objections to my suggestion."
Seeing that Xiujia talked about the problem just now without any shyness, Xiuchang's chatterbox also opened up, and he said to Xiujia, "I don't know why, I can't understand you now."
"I haven't changed, have I?"
"Is the Ryukyu matter your plan from the beginning?"
Facing Hideonaga's question, Hideka was suspicious for a moment, and then replied to Hideonaga, "Are you talking about changing Li Shangchao to be king, or about making Kamei Tomoki the Prime Minister of the Ryukyu Kingdom?"
"Both."
"The first one was indeed thought up in advance. After I heard the news from the Ryukyu envoy, I already had a plan. For this reason, I had many discussions with Mr. Gu Shan and others in advance before negotiating the terms.
The second one is really a temporary idea, how could I have expected that you and your father would grant me the Ryukyu Yusheng area?How can I plan ahead so that Kamei will be my prime minister? "
In fact, the above two questions have been planned by the Hideo family long ago, but they can’t tell the truth to the Hideo family, otherwise it will appear that the Hideo family’s trip to Juledi was premeditated, and even requested to attack Ryukyu It's all planned.
As for the division of the two issues, the first issue obviously cannot be shirked, because the establishment of a national book is a major event, and it happens that it cannot be negotiated overnight.
During this period of time, the Xiu family would go to Gushan Weng's main house at night, so they could put this pot on the candidate for the royal family.
Regarding Xiujia's answer, Xiuchang cast a suspicious look, only to hear him say, "With your intelligence, brother and I have already been figured out by you, and the loss of the Ryukyu battle is so great, it is impossible for my brother and I No reward for you.
Now that the land in the Western Kingdom has been demarcated, it is difficult to free up land for you to reward you, so borrowing flowers to present Buddha is the best answer. "
Faced with Xiuchang's doubts, the Xiu family certainly couldn't admit it, he said a little aggrieved, "I thought that Uncle understood me best, why did he have such speculations about me today.
To be honest, my original third answer was to ask the lord of the Osumi Kingdom, Ikeda Hengxing, to supervise Ryukyu on his behalf.To be honest, Ryukyu is too far away from Okayama. If you and my father hadn’t rewarded me with the Ryukyu trade franchise today, I wouldn’t want to have any relationship with Ryukyu anymore.
As for the matter of requesting Ryukyu guards for Kamei Tomoki, it is because I saw that you have agreed to use him as the Prime Minister of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and I have heard the good talk between him and my father, so I want to make this matter even better. "
As Xiujia said it again and again, dewdrops of grievance dripped from the corners of his eyes, and he pushed his acting to the limit.
Xiuchang was infected by Xiujia's performance, nodded apologetically and said, "It's my father who blamed you. After all, you are still a child. How could you think so much about it?"
After Xiujia wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Xiuchang pulled Xiujia again and said, "Brother has now issued an order to the Kanto and Northeast, and the world will be safe, and the world will be stable from now on without any harm from war.
The country will change from ruling the country by military force to ruling the country by culture. Your performance in military strategy is obvious to all. Are you interested in helping my brother govern the world with me? "
In the political system under which Hideyoshi ruled the world, although it is apparent that it respects the imperial court's law and order system, it is still a small-scale government with the opening of the shogunate, and Hideyoshi is equivalent to the president of later generations.
Hideyoshi's rule over Japan is similar to a hands-off shopkeeper. He only coordinates and issues orders on major events.
In the process of implementation, since they are in charge of different government affairs, it is inevitable that there will be conflicts and intersections. At this time, someone needs to coordinate.
When Xiuchang was alive, it was coordinated by Xiuchang, the big housekeeper, which is equivalent to the prime minister of later generations.
Xiujia looked at Xiuchang and asked him for confirmation, "Are you saying that you want me to come to the center and work with you for father?"
Xiuchang nodded and confirmed to the Xiu family, "Yes, I'm an older grader now, and I'm not in good health. I've been thinking that if one day I can't hold on anymore, who should resist the Toyotomi family's world? After thinking about it, I should find you."
Facing Xiuchang's invitation, Xiujia hesitated. He looked at the elder with gray temples and a starving and thin complexion, and couldn't bear to refuse.
He asked Xiuchang, "Then what position will I be in Luozhong?"
Xiuchang replied, "I don't have a specific official position in Luozhong? Isn't it also helping my brother to coordinate the world's government affairs? You can help me as my deputy. I will apply to my brother for this in a few days."
Seeing that the Xiu family was still hesitating, Xiu Chang moved out a big move, and he said to the Xiu family, "Xiaoju is still young, and she hasn't been away from us for a long time in the past. I miss her very much now. You see, my health is getting worse. Please let her go." How about staying with me for a while longer."
Xiuchang said so, there is no reason for the Xiu family to refuse, so they agreed.
————————————————————————
Since Hideyoshi had already discussed the disposal of Ryukyu with Hidecho and Hideka last night, he seemed very calm when the Ryukyu envoy went to the temple on the third day.
As the biggest planner of the whole plan, Xiujia attended the ceremony together.
Since this is the first country other than Japan to surrender to Hideyoshi, it is an excellent moment for Hideyoshi to publicize his martial arts and martial arts to the world, so he ordered all the daimyos from Kinki and surrounding areas to be there in advance, even the daimyos from distant countries. It was requested to send a retainer stationed in Kyoto to participate on his behalf.
As for why the delay was only 3 days later, of course, it was because Hideyoshi attached great importance to this matter. Since there was no case to support it before, he designed a set of etiquette out of thin air.
I saw the head of the Ryukyu country's envoys, Sima Silong, walking in the strongest position holding the letter of credence, and behind him was the lineup of Ryukyu envoys lent by Hideyoshi in yellow mother clothes, holding multiple left imperial flags.
The Zuoyumon flag is similar to the Japanese Baqi flag, except that there are black, red and black stripes under it. Both the Zuoyuwen flag and the Japanese Baqi flag are essentially textures from the mainland and are used by Japan. The pattern of the Japanese Hachiman god.
It has been confirmed that Zuogomon was started by King Shangde, the last ruler of the First Shang Dynasty.
The king may have adopted the symbol of the Hachiman god inspired by the Japanese pirates who worshiped the Hachiman god. He launched an invasion of Kikai Island in 1467, and built Anli Hachiman Shrine in Ryukyu Island after his victory.
Behind the dozens of flag bearers is a sedan chair decorated with gold leaf brocade, in which sits the Lord of the Ryukyu Kingdom Valley Mountain who has been happily with the Hide family for many days. His testimony was sent to Juledi and became Hideyoshi's concubine.
Under the deliberate publicity of Hideo and Hideyoshi, Mrs. Gu Shan became the most beautiful woman in the Ryukyu Kingdom, and she was considered a son of the royal family, and she was the aunt of the next kings!
The surrounding civilians didn't understand the inside story, and only boasted about Hideyoshi's prestige in the country, which made Ryukyu surrender.
When he came to the hall, under the watchful eyes of all the great names, the head of the country presented to Hideyoshi the letter of credence of King Shang Yong of Ryukyu, the sword representing the war and the water representing the soil of life, announcing the surrender of the Ryukyu king to Hideyoshi.
"Zuer, a small Ryukyu country, does not know the majesty of a big country, and has offended the upper country a lot. First, I will sacrifice the soil and surrender. I implore the Japanese king to have the virtue of living a good life, and stop fighting. The whole Ryukyu country is willing to serve His Highness and never give up."
This set of rituals was thought up by Hideyoshi with reference to Europe, but Hideyoshi thought it was a good suggestion and copied it directly.
Hideyoshi sat on the imperial steps, facing Ma Siliong who came to surrender, he had already smiled in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm and asked him, "You little country of Ryukyu has offended me a little. , you will not be punished."
"But since it's surrender, why don't you see your king come, but ask you to do it for me?" He pretended to be angry and slapped the handle of the armchair and scolded angrily, "It seems that you, Liuqiu, have no sincerity to surrender!"
As soon as Hideyoshi got angry, all the officials in the hall lowered their noble heads one after another, not daring to touch Hideyoshi's bad luck.
Hideyoshi, who was familiar with the inside story, secretly gave Hideyoshi a thumbs up and said: "You are good at acting, monkey."
Seeing Hideyoshi's anger, Ma Silong panicked and said, "It's not my king who is dishonest, it's all because I am weak and unable to travel far. In addition to sending me here today to ask for surrender, I also presented the country's most beautiful woman, Gu Shan Your Royal Highness, from this state, I, Ryukyu, and Japan have formed a good relationship between Qin and Jin, a state of father and son!
Your servant came today and brought my Kingdom Book.My king is weak and sick, and his body is getting weaker and weaker day by day.However, now that the foundation of the country is still undecided, I implore Shangguo to issue a decree and appoint a crown prince! "
Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Hideyoshi no longer made things difficult for Ma Silong, and gave Ryukyu King Shangyong the title of Ryukyu King according to the procedure as a drill, and awarded him the land of the Ryukyu Islands.
At the same time, Feng Jian, the son of Si Shangchao, Chen's son Shang Chaoxiao, was the crown prince and inherited the country.
At the same time, Hideyoshi said to Shang Chaoxiao, "After the crown prince is established, the lord Daier will come to Kyoto, meet the emperor and me, and receive documents at the same time, swearing never to betray.
From now on, the canonization of Ryukyu princes and new monarchs must be held in Juledi, Kyoto. Only those who have been registered through formal procedures will have legal succession to the throne.
Everything else is an act of arrogance, but it is found to be disrespectful to me. At that time, tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers will arrive overnight, so that you, the small country of Zur, will know what the benefits of Tianwei are. "
The above passage was Hideyoshi's impromptu idea, and it sounds a bit like the Ming Dynasty. Perhaps it was borrowed from the content of the documents used in the history of the mainland to reward the Wa Kingdom.
Regardless of whether it sounds awkward or not, the effect is surprisingly good. Ma Silong, who heard Hideyoshi's threat, was very frightened, and promised again and again that he would never do it.
At this time, everyone didn't know why Shang Chaoxiao was a human being, but the people in the temple were all good people, and it was impossible for Hideyoshi himself to understand the affairs of the Ryukyu state. From this, it can be seen that these issues were discussed and decided before. It's a scene.
However, even if it was a scene, Hideyoshi's conquest and assessment of countries other than Ryukyu did cause quite a stir in Japan, and eventually led to the rapid advancement of the long-delayed negotiations with the Hojo family.
On the other side of the ceremony, Lord Gu Shan, who had just entered the Olympics, was washing his body under the service of the maids, waiting for Hideyoshi's call at any time.
She is full of curiosity and fear for this place that is completely different from her own country. What is curious is that everything here is very different from her own, and what is fearful is the ignorance of her own future.
More importantly, she looked around nervously, as if she wanted to find the person Xiujia said earlier that she would connect with as soon as possible.
Tomorrow, June 6 (Thursday), we will have a day off (no update), once a month, everyone should be used to it.
The end of this chapter basically declares the end of the sixth volume. I wrote the most in the sixth volume, with 105 chapters and nearly 50 words.
This volume can be regarded as witnessing Hideyoshi's most glorious moment.
The next volume will begin with the much-anticipated Battle of Odawara.
Here is a spoiler, Xiujia will transfer to Kanto in the end!
Hideka has been preparing to maintain Toyotomi's orthodoxy and resist Tokugawa Ieyasu since time travel.
It's just that I didn't expect that I did such a good job. Gradually, people and things around me were pushing this Xiu family forward, and unknowingly, I became a substitute for the person I hated the most at the beginning.
Not much to say, let's see how the Xiu family breaks the situation!
(End of this chapter)
"My lord, my son has one more request."
"What else?"
"I implore Father, to grant Musashi Morishin the official position."
"New office? What does he want?"
"Please give Ryukyu the post of Shou so that he has the legal principles to supervise Ryukyu."
Hideyoshi originally thought that Hideyoshi would ask for a high-ranking official position for Kamei Tomoki, after all, Musashi Mamoru's official position itself has already been from the top five and Daikoku Mamoru.
Now when he heard that the Xiu family wanted the official position of Ryukyu Shou, he froze for a moment and asked, "Ryukyu Shou?"
He looked at Hidecho Toyotomi and asked, "What kind of official position is this Ryukyu Shou?"
Hidecho thought for a while and replied, "It seems that the imperial court does not have such an official position. According to Hachiro, the Zhixing of the Ryukyu Islands is about [-] shi. I think it is about the same as Tango and Wakasa. It should be regarded as a Chinese guard."
Hideyoshi got the answer from Hidecho, and instead asked Hideo strangely, "What's wrong with Kamei Musashi? Musashi Shou is the fifth-ranked grand national guard, and he actually asked me to bestow the sixth-ranked Chinese guard. official position."
Asking Hideyoshi, Hideyoshi reminded him: "Did Your Highness forget that when he was in Tajima, he begged you to give him the post of Ryukyu Guard, and he was willing to fight for you and guard Ryukyu?"
After being reminded by Xiujia, Hideyoshi suddenly realized: "It seems that there is such a thing. From this, it can be seen that Musashi Mamoru really has not forgotten his original intention."
"It's no problem to give him the post of Ryukyu garrison, but how can one person serve as the garrison of both countries?" Hideyoshi continued to Hideo, "It happened that he had not been rewarded for his crusade against Ryukyu, so he was transferred to the left to be one of the five subordinates, Shikibu Daisuke." Let’s strengthen the Ryukyu defense at the same time.”

You must know that the fifth rank is already considered a big official position, and it is at the same rank as the left and right guard major generals.
Hideyo who got this result was very satisfied, and thanked Hideyoshi first instead of Kamei Tomoki.
After the meeting was over, seeing that it was already getting late, Hidecho and Hideka bid farewell to Hideyoshi and then turned to leave. Only Hideyoshi and Sen Rikyu were left in the tea room.
Hideyoshi picked up a bowl of hot tea and took a sip, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, he looked at Qian Rikyu very seriously and asked: "Qian Rikyu, what do you think of the right general?"

Hideyoshi seemed dissatisfied with such official language, and asked a little irritably, "Is there any more?"
Sen Rikyu glanced at Hideyoshi, and replied again, "General Zuo Konoe's ability is the most outstanding among His Highness's many sons and nephews, and there are only a handful of people in the world who surpass General Right.

I think that General You, although he is a hero, has a weakness, that is, he attaches great importance to family affection. As long as Young Master Husong is in power, he should be able to To assist the young master like assisting His Highness. "
Sen Rikyu's answer made Hideyoshi very satisfied. The portraits of Hideo's characters were consistent with what he thought in his heart, but at this moment, Sen Rikyu changed the subject and re-evoked Hideyoshi's heartstrings, "It's just."

"Zuer, a small Ryukyu country, does not know the majesty of a big country, and has offended the upper country a lot. First, I will sacrifice the soil and surrender. I implore the Japanese king to have the virtue of living a good life, and stop fighting. The whole Ryukyu country is willing to serve His Highness and never give up."
This set of rituals was thought up by Hideyoshi with reference to Europe, but Hideyoshi thought it was a good suggestion and copied it directly.
Hideyoshi sat on the imperial steps, facing Ma Siliong who came to surrender, he had already smiled in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm and asked him, "You little country of Ryukyu has offended me a little. , you will not be punished."
"But since it's surrender, why don't you see your king come, but ask you to do it for me?" He pretended to be angry and slapped the handle of the armchair and scolded angrily, "It seems that you, Liuqiu, have no sincerity to surrender!"
As soon as Hideyoshi got angry, all the officials in the hall lowered their noble heads one after another, not daring to touch Hideyoshi's bad luck.
Hideyoshi, who was familiar with the inside story, secretly gave Hideyoshi a thumbs up and said: "You are good at acting, monkey."
Seeing Hideyoshi's anger, Ma Silong panicked and said, "It's not my king who is dishonest, it's all because I am weak and unable to travel far. In addition to sending me here today to ask for surrender, I also presented the country's most beautiful woman, Gu Shan Your Royal Highness, from this state, I, Ryukyu, and Japan have formed a good relationship between Qin and Jin, a state of father and son!
Your servant came today and brought my Kingdom Book.My king is weak and sick, and his body is getting weaker and weaker day by day.However, now that the foundation of the country is still undecided, I implore Shangguo to issue a decree and appoint a crown prince! "
Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Hideyoshi no longer made things difficult for Ma Silong, and gave Ryukyu King Shangyong the title of Ryukyu King according to the procedure as a drill, and awarded him the land of the Ryukyu Islands.
At the same time, Feng Jian, the son of Si Shangchao, Chen's son Shang Chaoxiao, was the crown prince and inherited the country.
At the same time, Hideyoshi said to Shang Chaoxiao, "After the crown prince is established, the lord Daier will come to Kyoto, meet the emperor and me, and receive documents at the same time, swearing never to betray.
From now on, the canonization of Ryukyu princes and new monarchs must be held in Juledi, Kyoto. Only those who have been registered through formal procedures will have legal succession to the throne.
Everything else is an act of arrogance, but it is found to be disrespectful to me. At that time, tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers will arrive overnight, so that you, the small country of Zur, will know what the benefits of Tianwei are. "
The above passage was Hideyoshi's impromptu idea, and it sounds a bit like the Ming Dynasty. Perhaps it was borrowed from the content of the documents used in the history of the mainland to reward the Wa Kingdom.
Regardless of whether it sounds awkward or not, the effect is surprisingly good. Ma Silong, who heard Hideyoshi's threat, was very frightened, and promised again and again that he would never do it.
At this time, everyone didn't know why Shang Chaoxiao was a human being, but the people in the temple were all good people, and it was impossible for Hideyoshi himself to understand the affairs of the Ryukyu state. From this, it can be seen that these issues were discussed and decided before. It's a scene.
However, even if it was a scene, Hideyoshi's conquest and assessment of countries other than Ryukyu did cause quite a stir in Japan, and eventually led to the rapid advancement of the long-delayed negotiations with the Hojo family.
On the other side of the ceremony, Lord Gu Shan, who had just entered the Olympics, was washing his body under the service of the maids, waiting for Hideyoshi's call at any time.
She is full of curiosity and fear for this place that is completely different from her own country. What is curious is that everything here is very different from her own, and what is fearful is the ignorance of her own future.
More importantly, she looked around nervously, as if she wanted to find the person Xiujia said earlier that she would connect with as soon as possible.
Tomorrow, June 6 (Thursday), we will have a day off (no update), once a month, everyone should be used to it.
The end of this chapter basically declares the end of the sixth volume. I wrote the most in the sixth volume, with 105 chapters and nearly 50 words.
This volume can be regarded as witnessing Hideyoshi's most glorious moment.
The next volume will begin with the much-anticipated Battle of Odawara.
Here is a spoiler, Xiujia will transfer to Kanto in the end!
Hideka has been preparing to maintain Toyotomi's orthodoxy and resist Tokugawa Ieyasu since time travel.
It's just that I didn't expect that I did such a good job. Gradually, people and things around me were pushing this Xiu family forward, and unknowingly, I became a substitute for the person I hated the most at the beginning.
Not much to say, let's see how the Xiu family breaks the situation!
