Hojo Kanto Envoy Returns
Chapter 426 Hojo Kanto Envoy Returns
After Xiu's family returned to their mansion in Kyoto, Kamei Tomoki from the frontier called and told him everything that happened in Juledi.
Xiujia also concluded: "Although the final result is not perfect, our goal is basically accomplished."
After listening to Xiujia's words, Kamei Tomoki asked Xiujia worriedly after thinking for a while, "Otani Yoshitsugu should be from His Highness Guan Bai's surname, this person must be the most trusted person of His Highness Guan Bai.
If His Highness Guan Bai really sends him to Ryukyu, will His Highness plan to manage Ryukyu be impossible to carry out? "
In fact, Hideka had thought about this question too, and he looked at Kamei Tomoki and replied, "There is no need to be too taboo, you will be the Prime Minister of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and you will make decisions on Ryukyu's domestic affairs on behalf of the Ryukyu King.
The fact that different surnames were enshrined as officials against the royal Shang family was originally a domestic matter in Ryukyu, even if Otani Kichitsu knew about it, he would not dare to say more.
As for the relocation of the population, they can pretend to be sea merchants to invest and buy land in Ryukyu. The Ryukyu court will issue a policy to include them in the land protection system, but it cannot be done by the government.
As for the import of sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes from Ming Dynasty, Luzon and other places, you can do it with great fanfare. To the outside world, say that my Xiu family is greedy for this kind of food, and just spend a lot of money to import it from foreign countries in order to satisfy my appetite. "
After explaining these things, the Hide family told Kamei Fusaki about the conversation between Toyotomi Hideaga and himself afterwards, and asked him to bring a message to many elders in Okayama, "Although I stay in Kyoto, I will return every month. Once in Gangshan, let them not worry too much, if there is any major event, it will only take two days to come quickly, and it will take a day and night to arrive."
Kamei Tomoki received Hideya's order, and after participating in the ceremony for the surrender of the Ryukyu envoys three days later, he resigned from Hideya and planned to return to Okayama.
He has made an agreement with Otani Yoshitsugu that in a few days he and Otani Yoshitsugu will go to Okayama with the Ryukyu envoy Kunigami Yasushi, and they will go to Ryukyu together after boarding the ship in Okayama.
However, the reality couldn’t keep up with the plan, and when Ryukyu’s request for surrender was completed in Kyoto, when Otani Yoshitsugu planned to go to Okayama with Kamei Tomoki, his mother Toden suddenly died of a sudden illness.
Yoshitsugu Otani is from Shiga County, Omi Country, and his father is Yoshifuo Otani, an ex-officer of the Rokkaku Clan in Omi. This man's reputation is not obvious, he is obviously just a low-level samurai leader, but he is lucky enough to marry into the East Temple.
From this title, it can be seen that his wife's status is not ordinary.
In fact, Dongden’s real name is no longer available. We only know that she is a relative of Gaodaiyuan, that is, the Beizhengsuo. After Hideyoshi ascended the throne, Ning Ning was granted the title of Gaodaiyuan shortly after she was also granted the title of Dongden.
The relatives who can be enshrined with Ning Ning obviously have a close relationship with Ning Ning's. In other words, Otani Yoshitsugu himself is also a member of Hideyoshi's relatives.
It is also for this reason that Otani Yoshitsugu was valued by Hideyoshi, and he was trained as a small surname.
Now that her mother, Toden, has passed away, Kodaiin Ning Ning, as a relative, has to go to offer her condolences. As a son, how could Otani Kichitsu get away and go to Ryukyu?
So Hideyoshi granted Otani Yoshitsugu's request to suspend his trip to Ryukyu, and the Ryukyu envoy, Sima Siryu and others, had to return first with Kamei Tomoki.
Hearing that Otani Yoshitsugu couldn't go to Ryukyu together, Kamei Tomoki and Hideka's faces were distorted with laughter. This was a god-sent opportunity, and Hideka simply told Kamei Tomoki to take advantage of this gap to step up the transfer of people to go to Ryukyu for reclamation .
And Hideka officially joined the job shortly after Kamei Tomoki left, and together with Toyotomi Hidecho handled government affairs in Juledi, and the first problem Hideka encountered was the negotiation with the Hojo family.
It turned out that after Hideyoshi revealed his dissatisfaction with Hojo's ignoring him twice at the end of April last time, under the connection of Tokugawa Ieyasu, Hojo Uki was finally sent to Kyoto to negotiate with Hideyoshi on matters related to subordination.
That's right, you read it right, the red line that the Hojo family gave directly to the Hojo family is subordination, and the Hojo family never intended to surrender to Hideyoshi.
This is different from the original Shimadzu family. The attitude of the Shimadzu family is that surrender is possible but most of the territory must be retained. Their original bottom line was the Hizen, Higo, Hyuga, Satsuma, and Osumi five countries, but Hideyoshi did not There was no agreement, which led to the subsequent crusade in Kyushu.
Nowadays, the Hojo clan is even more arrogant. The Hojo clan, who has no rivals in Kanto, does not take Hideyoshi seriously, so naturally he will not bow down to Hideyoshi.
There is a difference between subordination and surrender. Although both belong to Hideyoshi, the subordination has a higher degree of independence. The subordination daimyo can decide military and diplomatic behavior by himself, and there is no need to provide additional tribute to the superior daimyo.
However, surrender is different. Surrender is equivalent to being included in the Toyotomi system. Toyotomi Hideyoshi has the right to dispose of the Hojo territory, including but not limited to transfer.
Such conditions are obviously dissatisfied with Hideyoshi, who has already pacified Shimadzu and the essence of Japan. Therefore, Hojo Uki and Nakamura Kazushi, who is in charge of negotiating on Hideyoshi's side, have fallen into a long and strange confrontation.
Now that the Hide family is squeezed into the administrative system of the Toyotomi regime, I don't know which Kameko and Hideyoshi suggested it, saying that "General Toyotomi is a famous general of the West Country, and letting him threaten Hojo can make him submit faster, and at the same time It can reflect the importance that the Toyotomi family attaches to the Hojo family." So the Hide family was entrusted with this task in a daze.
In fact, the Hojo family was very resistant to surrendering Hideyoshi. Due to the arrogance accumulated in sweeping the Kanto for decades, the main fighting faction dominated the family.
Hojo Ujiki, as a slight descendant faction, was sent to Kyoto under the condition of such a big gap between the two sides.
But the irony is that it was such a surrender faction. In the 18th year of Tensho (1590), when the Odawara Conquest began, Hojo Ujiki served as one of the frontlines. The defense of Izujiyama Castle.
It fought against 3640 Toyotomi troops with more than 4 widowed soldiers (the chief general was Oda Nobuo) for more than 4 months, showing a strong will to fight, and finally opened the city under the persuasion of Ieyasu and Kuroda Kanbei.
In fact, it was already the end of September when Hideka was in charge of this matter. Hojo Ujiki had been in Kyoto for 9 months, and the negotiations between the two parties still hadn't made any progress. The two parties had actually given up on the negotiation. The abandoned son was left in Kyoto.
However, the turning point of the incident came from the Ryukyu surrender incident. When the Hojo clan sent the situation of the day back to Odawara Castle, the Hojo clan government finally sent another veteran Itabe Oka Rongcheng Shangluo.
Everyone may be confused when they hear the name Banbugang Rongcheng. They don’t know who this person is, but the surname seems familiar. In fact, he is a Shingon monk, and his monastic title is Jiang Xuezhai.
Does this connection feel very familiar?That's right, Hui Qiong of Anguo Temple in the Warring States Period and the Maori family of the Western Kingdom has the same reputation, a debater and strategist in the Warring States Period, Banbugang Jiang Xuezhai.
He was originally the son of Yasuyuki Tanaka, and he was the only son, but he was ordered by the Hojo Clan to inherit the family name of Yasuo Itabeoka.
This person is the son of Ishinomaki Iesada, the important minister of the Hojo Clan, and was asked by Hojo Clan Yasushi to join the Itabuoka Clan. As a result, this Itbeoka Yasuo could not give birth to a son. The valued Tanaka merged into the successor Ban Bugang.
Many people are wondering why the Hojo family attaches so much importance to the surname Banbugang, but the most famous person with this surname in history seems to be Jiang Xuezhai himself.
In fact, Banfugang is the descendant of the true Hojo family. The most important thing is that after several generations of transmission, knowledge and practice have disappeared by the time of the Hojo family.
Hojo Ushiyasu ordered Ishinomaki Yasuo to join the Suibanbuoka clan in order to continue the blood of the true Hojo clan, thus reflecting his identity as the Hojo clan.
If Banbuoka Yasuo can have one and a half daughters left, Hojo Ujiyasu intends to let the Hojo clan's descendants combine with him, so as to announce to the world that his Hojo clan is the real Hojo clan's successor.
A family like this that has lost its land, knowledge and practice, and has no family name is the most suitable target for Hojo Shiyasu to operate.
It's a pity that Yasuo Itabao himself couldn't give birth to a son or daughter, so he had to let Jiang Xuesai Itabao into the successor Banbuoka Clan. However, the Hojo family's blood purification plan had not yet begun, and Hideyoshi's Odawara battle had already arrived.
As the most important diplomatic monk of the Hojo clan, Banbuoka Jiang Xuesai, after the death of Takeda Shingen, when Takeda Noburen was the shadow dancer, it was he who went to the Takeda family to spy on the reality of the Takeda family.
After that, the alliance between the Hojo clan and the Takeda clan broke, and the Hojo clan formed an alliance with the upsurge of Oda Nobunaga, and he also went to Gifu as an envoy to negotiate with Oda Nobunaga.
In the 10th year of Tensho (1582), after the death of Oda Nobunaga due to the change of Honnoji Temple, when Tokugawa Ieyasu and the Hojo clan were in conflict around the Shinano country, it was he who ran for peace negotiations and welcomed Ieyasu's daughter Toki Shizhi's main room brought harmony between the two families.
If it is said that the Hojo Ujimasa sent Hojo Ujiki to Kyoto as a distribution, then it is true that he sent Banbuoka Jiang Xuesai to negotiate with Hideyoshi.
It was also under such circumstances that Hideie, as a representative of the Toyotomi family, officially received Itambuoka Essai, Hojo Ujiki and others.
But to be honest, Toyotomi's side was very unimpressed with Hojo's original conditions, and they didn't drive them back entirely because of Kanbai's face.
Therefore, after the meeting between the two parties, the Xiu family, as the master, didn't speak first.
As for the Hojo side, they wanted to raise their price as much as possible, and in this kind of scene, whoever opened the mouth would suffer, and the two sides fell into a weird silence.
At first, the Xiu family intended to show off the envoys of the Hojo family and refresh their vigor, so they did not sit on the main seat, but sat aside like a follower, and made tea for the two adults in the hall.
The tea has already been submitted to the case, Xiujia sees that both parties are not talking, so he is not in a hurry, and brews tea in the hall on his own. Note: Xiujia here uses brewing instead of boiling tea, which is different from Japan's own. The way of drinking tea is completely different.
After falling into eerie silence for a whole morning, Kazushi Nakamura from Toyotomi's side proposed to adjourn the meeting temporarily and hold the meeting tomorrow.
On the second day, Xiujia ordered tea for both parties as usual, but something went wrong when it was delivered to Banbugang Jiang Xuezhai.
I saw Xiujia bring a tea bowl to him and bow slightly to him, but Xiujia who didn't speak the whole time was grabbed by Banbugang Jiang Xuezhai's wrist.
Banbugang Jiang Xuesai's actions ruined the people on Toyotomi's side in the hall, and the warriors on Nakamura Kazushi's side changed from sitting cross-legged to kneeling, with their bodies leaning forward and ready to attack at any time.
The attendants of Toyotomi Huang's clothes, Sanada Nobushige and Anayama Nobutada who were waiting outside the hall turned inward and put their hands on the sabers around their waists, like a tiger ready to attack Banbugang Jiang Xuesai at any time.
The sudden change brought the atmosphere in the hall to a freezing point. Hojo Ujiki, who was attending the banquet on Hojo's side, glanced nervously to the left and right, completely unaware of what happened.
Banbugang Jiang Xuezhai looked at Kazushi Nakamura and the others with a smile on the opposite side, and then glanced at the samurai guarding outside the hall and behind, which seemed to confirm the conjecture in his heart.
Just listen to Ban Bugang Jiang Xuezhai pretending to be innocent, and asked with a smile: "My lords, what's the matter, when this servant was ordering tea for me, the tea splashed out and scalded me, I caught him and asked for an explanation, Why are you all so nervous?"
Ichi Nakamura and the samurai inside and outside the temple, can you not be in a hurry, the most trusted adopted son of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the third most powerful person in the Toyotomi family, the super daimyo of 8 countries across the Seto Inland Sea with 135 million stones, and the general Toyotomi right guard The Xiu family is in the hands of others!
If something happened to Hideyoshi's family, everyone in the hall, even the Nakamura family, would not be able to deal with Hideyoshi.
Facing Banbugang Jiang Xuezhai's accusation, Nakamura Kazushi adjusted his tone and replied, "The atmosphere in the hall was so tense just now, your sudden action will inevitably make us excited, let go of your hands first, and we will discuss things slowly.
As for the attendant's problem, we will have a special person to question him afterwards. If there is anything that hurts Mr. Jiang Xuezhai, I will apologize to you here, and we will bear all the expenses for the soup and medicine. "
Although Kazushi Nakamura spoke in a calm tone, his body posture did not relax at all, and he put on a posture that was always ready to go up and do his best.
"Of course we have to give an explanation. Our Hojo clan came all the way from the Kanto. Yesterday, you let us leave it alone for a whole day, and we are still being insulted like this today. No matter how we say it, we have to give an explanation."
The attitude of Izumi Nakamura seemed to make Jiang Xuezhai confirm the identity of the Xiu family. He spoke again and again, glanced at the hall again and again, and finally his eyes fell on the Xiu family: "What do you mean, Your Highness General Toyotomi."
Don't be sentimental, Jiang Xuezhai's insult here is impossible, such a trivial matter as Xiu's tea splashing on him, but the situation that Feng Chen's side is about to draw his sword in the negotiation venue between the two parties.
Now that Jiang Xuezhai has already betrayed her, the Xiu family has no intention of continuing to pretend.
Xiujia frowned slightly, noncommittal about Jiang Xuezhai's responsibility, trying to pull his right hand out of his hand slightly, but found that the monk in front of him was using so much force that he couldn't pull his hand out of his hand.
From this point of view, if Jiang Xuezhai doesn't give an explanation today, the Xiu family will be stuck.
It's just that Jiang Xuezhai took advantage of Xiu's lack of service to attack him, which triggered a chain reaction in the palace. Toyotomi's side has already accomplished the righteousness. If he publicly admits at this moment that he is not polite and takes care of him poorly, then in the future In the negotiation, the other party was also a little shorter, and his speech naturally lacked strength.
Since it is impossible to admit it, it is also impossible not to admit it, the situation seems to be in a deadlock.
When Jiang Xuezhai revealed the name of Hideka, Hojo Uki looked at Hideka in surprise, he never thought that the boy who had been silently ordering tea yesterday was actually the well-known Ukita Hideka in Japan.
But now that he really saw his true face, looking at the boy who was in the same grade as his son, he was even more surprised at his youth.
Hideka looked at Hojo Ujiki who was in a daze, Hideka's eyeballs rolled in their sockets, and immediately thought of a way to break the situation.
His body was slightly tilted to one side, and he seemed to want to pull his hand away from Jiang Xuezhai's hand forcefully, but only heard a "click", and the tea bowl in Hojo's unsteady hand fell on the mat, only It fell to Xiu's house within a few centimeters, and the hot tea flowed along the tatami to the surroundings.
Xiujia directly lay down on the ground, covered his feet with the other hand that was not held, and said, "I'm scalded to death, I'm scalded to death."
The Xiu family was suddenly "injured" and the Toyotomi people in the hall were very nervous. Nakamura Kazushi and others immediately surrounded him. Jiang Xuezhai knew very well that the Xiu family was not burned, but now that everyone gathered around him, he could only let go of the Xiu family. Put your palms together and recite the Buddha's name.
"Your Highness, are you alright?" Nakamura Kazushi came forward to look at Xiujia nervously, asked about Xiujia's injury, and finally descended under Xiujia's signal and carried away Xiujia first.
Before leaving, under the suggestion of Xiu's family, he said viciously to the two people left in the palace, "Toyotomi's family will never let what happened today!"
(End of this chapter)
After Xiu's family returned to their mansion in Kyoto, Kamei Tomoki from the frontier called and told him everything that happened in Juledi.
Xiujia also concluded: "Although the final result is not perfect, our goal is basically accomplished."
After listening to Xiujia's words, Kamei Tomoki asked Xiujia worriedly after thinking for a while, "Otani Yoshitsugu should be from His Highness Guan Bai's surname, this person must be the most trusted person of His Highness Guan Bai.
If His Highness Guan Bai really sends him to Ryukyu, will His Highness plan to manage Ryukyu be impossible to carry out? "
In fact, Hideka had thought about this question too, and he looked at Kamei Tomoki and replied, "There is no need to be too taboo, you will be the Prime Minister of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and you will make decisions on Ryukyu's domestic affairs on behalf of the Ryukyu King.
The fact that different surnames were enshrined as officials against the royal Shang family was originally a domestic matter in Ryukyu, even if Otani Kichitsu knew about it, he would not dare to say more.
As for the relocation of the population, they can pretend to be sea merchants to invest and buy land in Ryukyu. The Ryukyu court will issue a policy to include them in the land protection system, but it cannot be done by the government.
As for the import of sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes from Ming Dynasty, Luzon and other places, you can do it with great fanfare. To the outside world, say that my Xiu family is greedy for this kind of food, and just spend a lot of money to import it from foreign countries in order to satisfy my appetite. "
After explaining these things, the Hide family told Kamei Fusaki about the conversation between Toyotomi Hideaga and himself afterwards, and asked him to bring a message to many elders in Okayama, "Although I stay in Kyoto, I will return every month. Once in Gangshan, let them not worry too much, if there is any major event, it will only take two days to come quickly, and it will take a day and night to arrive."
Kamei Tomoki received Hideya's order, and after participating in the ceremony for the surrender of the Ryukyu envoys three days later, he resigned from Hideya and planned to return to Okayama.
He has made an agreement with Otani Yoshitsugu that in a few days he and Otani Yoshitsugu will go to Okayama with the Ryukyu envoy Kunigami Yasushi, and they will go to Ryukyu together after boarding the ship in Okayama.

Yoshitsugu Otani is from Shiga County, Omi Country, and his father is Yoshifuo Otani, an ex-officer of the Rokkaku Clan in Omi. This man's reputation is not obvious, he is obviously just a low-level samurai leader, but he is lucky enough to marry into the East Temple.
From this title, it can be seen that his wife's status is not ordinary.
In fact, Dongden’s real name is no longer available. We only know that she is a relative of Gaodaiyuan, that is, the Beizhengsuo. After Hideyoshi ascended the throne, Ning Ning was granted the title of Gaodaiyuan shortly after she was also granted the title of Dongden.
The relatives who can be enshrined with Ning Ning obviously have a close relationship with Ning Ning's. In other words, Otani Yoshitsugu himself is also a member of Hideyoshi's relatives.

So Hideyoshi granted Otani Yoshitsugu's request to suspend his trip to Ryukyu, and the Ryukyu envoy, Sima Siryu and others, had to return first with Kamei Tomoki.
Hearing that Otani Yoshitsugu couldn't go to Ryukyu together, Kamei Tomoki and Hideka's faces were distorted with laughter. This was a god-sent opportunity, and Hideka simply told Kamei Tomoki to take advantage of this gap to step up the transfer of people to go to Ryukyu for reclamation .
And Hideka officially joined the job shortly after Kamei Tomoki left, and together with Toyotomi Hidecho handled government affairs in Juledi, and the first problem Hideka encountered was the negotiation with the Hojo family.

The attitude of Izumi Nakamura seemed to make Jiang Xuezhai confirm the identity of the Xiu family. He spoke again and again, glanced at the hall again and again, and finally his eyes fell on the Xiu family: "What do you mean, Your Highness General Toyotomi."
Don't be sentimental, Jiang Xuezhai's insult here is impossible, such a trivial matter as Xiu's tea splashing on him, but the situation that Feng Chen's side is about to draw his sword in the negotiation venue between the two parties.
Now that Jiang Xuezhai has already betrayed her, the Xiu family has no intention of continuing to pretend.
Xiujia frowned slightly, noncommittal about Jiang Xuezhai's responsibility, trying to pull his right hand out of his hand slightly, but found that the monk in front of him was using so much force that he couldn't pull his hand out of his hand.
From this point of view, if Jiang Xuezhai doesn't give an explanation today, the Xiu family will be stuck.
It's just that Jiang Xuezhai took advantage of Xiu's lack of service to attack him, which triggered a chain reaction in the palace. Toyotomi's side has already accomplished the righteousness. If he publicly admits at this moment that he is not polite and takes care of him poorly, then in the future In the negotiation, the other party was also a little shorter, and his speech naturally lacked strength.
Since it is impossible to admit it, it is also impossible not to admit it, the situation seems to be in a deadlock.
When Jiang Xuezhai revealed the name of Hideka, Hojo Uki looked at Hideka in surprise, he never thought that the boy who had been silently ordering tea yesterday was actually the well-known Ukita Hideka in Japan.
But now that he really saw his true face, looking at the boy who was in the same grade as his son, he was even more surprised at his youth.
Hideka looked at Hojo Ujiki who was in a daze, Hideka's eyeballs rolled in their sockets, and immediately thought of a way to break the situation.
His body was slightly tilted to one side, and he seemed to want to pull his hand away from Jiang Xuezhai's hand forcefully, but only heard a "click", and the tea bowl in Hojo's unsteady hand fell on the mat, only It fell to Xiu's house within a few centimeters, and the hot tea flowed along the tatami to the surroundings.
Xiujia directly lay down on the ground, covered his feet with the other hand that was not held, and said, "I'm scalded to death, I'm scalded to death."
The Xiu family was suddenly "injured" and the Toyotomi people in the hall were very nervous. Nakamura Kazushi and others immediately surrounded him. Jiang Xuezhai knew very well that the Xiu family was not burned, but now that everyone gathered around him, he could only let go of the Xiu family. Put your palms together and recite the Buddha's name.
"Your Highness, are you alright?" Nakamura Kazushi came forward to look at Xiujia nervously, asked about Xiujia's injury, and finally descended under Xiujia's signal and carried away Xiujia first.
Before leaving, under the suggestion of Xiu's family, he said viciously to the two people left in the palace, "Toyotomi's family will never let what happened today!"
