Chapter 437 The fragrant tree's first pistil sings in the spring breeze, and the lily and the wise bird report the good news.
The Xiu family did not expect such a turning point in history. Even when he had given up, he was successfully moved back to the situation by the parties in history.
Different from the dignified expressions shown by everyone when they heard that the Hojo Clan was going to be crusaded, Hideka laughed excitedly for a moment, of course, taking advantage of Katagiri Kamoto not paying attention, he quickly restrained his smile, and said with a heartbroken expression .
"The Ise rebels resisted my father's grace. As a son, I will definitely do my best to fight against the Hojo clan for my father. Don't worry, Mr. Masahitoichi. After I pack up, I will go to Kyoto to meet my father."
Katagiri Katomoto said to Hideyoshi after hearing Hideka's promise to send troops, "This is the best. I still need to go to Kyushu to preach, so I won't stay here any longer. I would like to resign from the general."
Xiujia: "Kyushu's decree? Isn't Kyushu currently in the grip of Qiezhidan? I heard that Otomo and other daimyos are getting burned by Qiezhidan."
Katagiri Kasumimoto: "That's true. I was ordered by His Highness Guanbai to go to Kyushu to pass on his decree, to change the "Bantianlian Chasing and Release Order" and to urge the Kyushu daimyo to stabilize the situation as soon as possible, and prepare to participate in the crusade against the Hojo clan."
Hideo was very surprised to hear that Hideyoshi had to be soft on Kirijidan when he faced the Hojo clan. In his opinion, Hojo was just as strong as the original Shimadzu, even if he brought the famous names of Xiguo, Kinki, Tokaido, and Hokuriku. Yes, Kyushu's Qiezhidan is left to the Kyushu daimyo to deal with, why should he be soft on Qiezhidan at this time.
Of course, there is no answer to this question for Katagiri Kemoto, so I can only ask Hideyoshi after returning to Kyoto.
Hideyoshi arranged for Hideo at the end of May, and now there are only a few days left. It seems that Hideyoshi loves and hates Hojo, and is very eager to crusade against Hojo.
In such a short period of time, there was almost no time for the Xiu family to settle the territory, so the Xiu family could only ask the elders in charge of the Changchuan Zhenqin to sort out the supplies in the territory and prepare for the battle in the Kanto region.
Especially regarding the storage of military rations, Hideka said to Osafune Sadakin, "Odawara Castle does not defend a city that is easy to capture, and must be prepared for a long-term battle with a large army, so the storage of military rations is the top priority.
It is best to be able to buy food locally in the Kanto, so that it can not only store military food for the family, but also increase the difficulty of the Hojo family starting to store military food before the war. It is really a good strategy to kill two birds with one stone. "
Osafune Sadakin generally agreed with the arrangement of the Xiu family, but also raised a question: "The military rations in the Kanto area are indeed cheaper than those in the Western countries, but the loss of food purchased from the Kanto area and transported back to the Western countries is insignificant.
It will be shipped to Kanto when the war starts, explaining that there may be no less than ten or three grains.Is the cost too high in this way? "
Hideka stroked the small beard growing from the corner of his mouth, thought for a moment and said to Osafune Sadakin, "Give the money to Mr. Ogasawara Attendant, and ask Ogasawara Attendant to go to Kanto to buy grain and store it in his territory nearby.
Xiguo's attack on Kanto is nothing more than taking the Zhongsen Road or the Tokai Road. Shinano is not far away. If you need food, send someone to Ogasawara's attendant for transfer. "
After the problem was solved, Longfune Zhenqin was not stingy to praise the Xiu family, "Your Highness is wise"
However, just when the Xiu family was planning to pack up and go to Luo, Changchuan Zhenqin took the initiative to approach the Xiu family and whispered, "Your Highness, did you forget that when you built Okayama City the year before last, you promised the citizens that you will rest for the next two years and not serve in the military. It's worth the husband's service.
It's only May now, and His Highness Guan Bai launched a crusade against Odawara for a long time. How can we explain to the people in the territory? "
"It's over, it's a bad thing!" After Nasafune Sadakin reminded Hideka, he remembered that the reason he made the promise was that Hideyoshi launched a crusade against the Hojo clan in 1590 in history.
Historically, Hideyoshi issued an ultimatum to the Hojo clan at the end of 1589 because of Ming Walnut, but it was only May that Hideyoshi called the daimyo ahead of time to mobilize troops against Hojo.
According to this situation, it is very likely that Hideyoshi will send troops after the autumn harvest. For Hideyoshi, mobilization should be carried out two months in advance, which is tantamount to breaking his promise to the leaders.
But now that the arrow is on the string and has to be launched, the Xiu family can't care about these anymore, he said to Longchuan Zhenqin, "My people are all happy about the war, because they can get wealth from the war.
You find a way to compensate the soldiers mobilized by the North for a certain amount of security before going out, and promise to give you a generous reward after the war.Anyway, the crusade against Hojo cannot be bypassed, let's go through the current level first. "
After explaining the domestic government affairs, the Xiu family also had to explain the family affairs.
Since Hideyoshi summoned Hideka in this way, he will definitely give Hideka enough time to prepare later, so this time when going to Luo, Hideyoshi only needs to bring Juji.
It is said that since Tatsuchiyo died early last time and the child in her womb was not kept, Naoko became disheartened and left home.
But the Xiu family's task of inheriting the family cannot be stopped. The Xiu family also married Jin Guang Jiaqing's cousin Liangzi and Liuqiu Omura's younger sister Ma Sichun into the house.
Yes, Sima Silong, the head of the country at the beginning, was transferred from the most troublesome country head in the north to the wealthy Omura because of his meritorious service in negotiating peace and supporting the new monarch. Location on the side Chatan Town.
This Ma Sichun is a transliteration. It sounds like Xiujia feels awkward no matter what. Only when he sees a real person can he be convinced that he does not look like the one he knows, but looks like Diana_圣帝, the UP master of station B.
(Go check it out guys, you'll find a new world opens up.)
It was the one who always left a message of "wife" in every video before the Xiu family traveled. Now seeing a woman who looks so similar, the Xiu family can't put it down.
In addition to the beauty Lin Liangdi who was dedicated to him by Kamei, a total of three people were added to the harem of the Xiu family. Not hitting the target is excusable.
According to the news from Kamei Ziji, Lin Liangdi's father has been formally appointed as the governor of Dali, and has become a non-royal super noble supported by the Xiu family.
Now in Ryukyu, there is Sima Silong in Dacun in the north, and Lin Xiaozong in Dali in the south. They take the lead in helping the Xiu family root in Ryukyu, and speed up the progress of the Xiu family in controlling Ryukyu.
Among the old concubines, Fujihime was pregnant in March and Nanji was pregnant successively in May. The joy of many wives and concubines conceiving babies at the same time finally washed away some of the haze of Chen Chiyo's early death.
However, when the Xiu family returned to the inner hall that day, they heard a burst of laughter, and the laughter of many people could be heard from a distance.
Xiujia walked in curiously and was called by Tongfang Courtyard, "His Royal Highness is here, I have some good news for you. Just after the doctor's consultation, Ju Ji is pregnant."
As soon as Tongfang Yuan finished speaking, Qing Ji also teased at the side, "Your Highness is really mighty, how long did it take for Mrs. Ju Ji to win."
Tong Fangyuan took over the conversation and said, "Ju Ji is the wife of our Toyotomi family in Okayama, and the child in her womb will be the legitimate son in the future. In this way, I have explained to Xian Fani and His Highness Xian."
The other female relatives also said in Yingying Yanyan, "We were just talking about it. The birdsong outside these days is extremely clear, and it must be the wise bird who came to announce the good news. I didn't expect it to be that His Highness and Madam have a queen." Great joy."
As Tong Fangyuan said, Juji's pregnancy really made the Xiu family very happy, and it became a major event within Yuxi's family.
In this era, a woman is considered an adult when she is born, but in later generations, a 14-year-old girl is just a child, and she has not even entered high school. The Xiu family ordered the sex institute to manage the affairs of Austria and China, and take care of Juji's daily life. .
As a result, Tongfangyuan took the initiative to take over the task and said, "The children in this belly, regardless of gender, are descended from the same family, so I should take care of them personally."
The Xiu family has always disliked meddling in the affairs of the inner palace, since the Tongfang Yuan took the initiative to take over the job, the Xiu family will no longer take care of it.
He walked up to Ju Ji, gently hugged her in his arms and said softly to her, "I want to go back to Luozhong, I planned to take you with me.
But since you have just conceived a child, you still take pregnancy safety as your top priority, if there are any bumps on the road, it is really your fault and mine.
You just have to be patient for a while, after a while the fetus is stable, and I will connect you to Luozhong and let your father-in-law and father-in-law take care of you. "
After taking care of the family affairs, Hideka took Sanada Nobushige and Anayama Nobutada to Kyoto at full speed. The 230-kilometer journey usually takes about 7 days. Hideka did not dare to delay for a moment, and arrived in just 5 days .
When Xiujia returned to Kyoto in advance, he sent his attendants to hurry back to Kyoto, and Hideyoshi and Xiuchang were notified.
According to past habits, every time Hideyoshi returned to Osaka or Kyoto, as long as Hidecho was here, he would go out of the city to meet Hideka, but this time he didn't see Hidecho, which made Hideyo wonder if it was his own willfulness last time. affected the relationship between the two.
But fortunately, the two are opposite each other. They just settled down in Osaka City and submitted an application to Juledi to enter the city.
Since it was getting late, Hideyoshi replied that he would enter the city again on the next day to discuss matters related to the Hojo Clan's crusade, and at the same time asked Hideyoshi to visit Hidecho.
Hearing the news brought back by the attendant who went to deliver the letter, the Xiu family realized something was wrong after a while, and hurriedly threw out their mansion and knocked on the door of Xiuchang's mansion opposite, wanting to meet Xiuchang.
The samurai of the Xiu family, who faced the door, was no stranger to it. In the past, the Xiu family had been visiting the door, and now that he was the son-in-law of his lord, naturally he would not stop him.
Xiujia was led to a side hall by Xiuchang's trusted warriors, and he smelled the pungent smell of medicine from afar, Xiujia couldn't help frowning, worried about Xiuchang.
Until Xiu's family was taken to a room, the doors and windows of the whole room were closed, but the smell of various medicinal herbs could still be smelled from inside the room, among which ginseng was the most offensive.
Before the Xiu family stopped outside the house, they heard a weak voice from inside the house, "Is Hachiro coming outside the house?"
The Xiu family couldn't recognize the voice, so they took the initiative to ask him: "It's me, is it Mr. Yuezhang in the house?"
After a while, the door of the room was opened with a small opening, and through the crack of the door, only the dark environment and the strong smell of medicine could be seen.
The Xiu family was puzzled for a moment, not knowing why, but always felt that there was a hint of cold surprise in this room.
But in the end, the Xiu family bravely stepped into the house. As soon as they entered, the maid who was waiting at the door quickly closed the door, which surprised the Xiu family.
"Come here~ sit by my couch." Just at this time, the weak voice sounded again, and Xiu covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves, and walked forward suspiciously.
After the maids opened the curtain, the Xiu family saw Xiu Zhang lying on the ground.
No, in the Xiu family's perception, this is no longer Xiuchang, only to see that he is now extremely thin, and the skin on his face is wrinkled and sticking to the bones.
If it hadn't been for the Xiu family's mother-in-law Zhiyunyuan sitting next to him, the Xiu family wouldn't even be sure that the old man lying on the bed was Xiu Chang.
要知道秀长可是天文9年3月2日（1540年4月8日）生人，如今才不过50岁，看起来却像是70、80岁的模样。
Hideyoshi stretched out an arm weakly, motioning for Hideyoshi to sit beside him, and after Hideyoshi sat down, he took the initiative to say, "I'm really sorry that I let you see this appearance, so I didn't scare you."
Xiujia couldn't believe that the mummy-like man in front of him was actually the strong and strong man Xiuchang who took the initiative to play with him ten years ago.
At this moment, the corners of his eyes were already wet with tears, "How can my uncle look like this?"
"After so many years, I still like to hear you call me uncle." Xiuchang smiled helplessly and replied, "It has been an old problem for many years, and it has been dragging on for so many years. I wonder if we can still see this year's new rice."
Xiuchang didn't cough, but Xiujia could clearly feel that the breath in his words was weak.
Zhiyunyuan at the side wiped some tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "The doctor said that the medicinal stones in your Highness's body are difficult to enter, and you need to bathe in the medicinal gas all day long. That's why this room is full of medicinal smells, which made General You effective."
The Xiu family, who is familiar with the medical knowledge of later generations, knows in his heart that what the seriously ill need most is to learn fresh air, and the behavior of keeping people in the room like this is harmful to the patients.
However, for a person with Xiang Xiuchang's status, all the famous doctors of this era are treating him, so why does the Xiu family, who is not well-known in medicine, give him the opposite guidance?
If it works, it's fine. If Xiu Zhang is sent away in advance, then the Xiu family will really feel guilty for the rest of their lives.
Therefore, the Xiu family could only say to Xiuchang and Zhiyunyuan, "My uncle still needs to take care of his health. I have many business contacts with Ming merchants. Later, I will send my retainers to Gangshan to ask for some Liao ginseng and Korean ginseng." come over.
These ginsengs are guaranteed to be ginseng roots that have been grown for more than ten years, and some of them have grown into human shapes, which have always been good nourishing medicines.
It's just that the medicinal effect of this ginseng is not small, and it will be harmful to the body if it is used too much.At that time, I will invite two famous doctors to prescribe medicine for my uncle.
I heard that this ginseng is a fairy medicine, which has the effect of invigorating vital energy and recovering pulses. It is very practical for patients with weak qi and blood or those who have recovered from a long illness. My uncle only takes medicine, and my son has enough medicine. "
"It's hard for you to be filial. I also want to live longer and contribute to the Toyotomi family. It's just that the ginseng herbalists have already prescribed it for me, but I'm not the same now. Why waste money?"
Xiuchang said that the pharmacist prescribed ginseng medicine for Xiuchang, and the Xiu family believed it, but Xiuchang never took it all the time.
The reason is very simple because ginseng has not been farmed yet, and it is grown wildly. Even in North Korea and Ming Dynasty, the price was sky-high, let alone the price in Japan.
History has described Hideyoshi after his illness and death. It is said that he lived frugally all his life, and left Hideyoshi a storehouse of gold, silver and copper coins after his death, saying that it was money saved for Hideyoshi.
How can a frugal person like Xiuchang spend sky-high prices on imported ginseng for his hopeless disease?
But this time he couldn't help it, Xiujia grabbed Xiuchang's hand, and said with tears in his eyes: "Without uncle, there would be no Hachiro today, all of this is what Hachiro owes to uncle, and Hachiro will pay it back no matter what.
You don't need to worry about money. I am friendly with Mingshang. The price of the goods is much cheaper than the market. You just need to take care of your health. "
But Xiuchang still refused and said, "I'm already a dead bone in the tomb, so why waste good medicine on me? With this money, you might as well think more about how to use it for government affairs."
"Uncle, you can't give up so easily. Do you know that before I came to Kyoto, the doctor said that Juji was pregnant. No matter what, you have to wait until the beginning of next spring. When you see our baby, your grandson is born!"
Hearing the news of Ju Ji's pregnancy, the eyes of the thin old man in front of Xiu's family suddenly became firm, feeling that his whole body was full of strength.
"Is this true?" He confirmed to the Xiu family again, and after getting a positive answer from the Xiu family, he laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha, God bless my descendants of the Toyotomi clan to prosper!"
After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Xiu's family and said, "I promise you that I will live to see the birth of your and Xiaoju's son."
The Xiu family never said that this child would be a son, but Xiu Zhang had subjectively substituted it in and acquiesced in the child's gender. The Xiu family was also embarrassed to discourage the old man's interest at this time.
Seeing the old man's decision to continue the treatment, Xiujia nodded excitedly.
(End of this chapter)
The Xiu family did not expect such a turning point in history. Even when he had given up, he was successfully moved back to the situation by the parties in history.
Different from the dignified expressions shown by everyone when they heard that the Hojo Clan was going to be crusaded, Hideka laughed excitedly for a moment, of course, taking advantage of Katagiri Kamoto not paying attention, he quickly restrained his smile, and said with a heartbroken expression .
"The Ise rebels resisted my father's grace. As a son, I will definitely do my best to fight against the Hojo clan for my father. Don't worry, Mr. Masahitoichi. After I pack up, I will go to Kyoto to meet my father."
Katagiri Katomoto said to Hideyoshi after hearing Hideka's promise to send troops, "This is the best. I still need to go to Kyushu to preach, so I won't stay here any longer. I would like to resign from the general."
Xiujia: "Kyushu's decree? Isn't Kyushu currently in the grip of Qiezhidan? I heard that Otomo and other daimyos are getting burned by Qiezhidan."
Katagiri Kasumimoto: "That's true. I was ordered by His Highness Guanbai to go to Kyushu to pass on his decree, to change the "Bantianlian Chasing and Release Order" and to urge the Kyushu daimyo to stabilize the situation as soon as possible, and prepare to participate in the crusade against the Hojo clan."
Hideo was very surprised to hear that Hideyoshi had to be soft on Kirijidan when he faced the Hojo clan. In his opinion, Hojo was just as strong as the original Shimadzu, even if he brought the famous names of Xiguo, Kinki, Tokaido, and Hokuriku. Yes, Kyushu's Qiezhidan is left to the Kyushu daimyo to deal with, why should he be soft on Qiezhidan at this time.
Of course, there is no answer to this question for Katagiri Kemoto, so I can only ask Hideyoshi after returning to Kyoto.
Hideyoshi arranged for Hideo at the end of May, and now there are only a few days left. It seems that Hideyoshi loves and hates Hojo, and is very eager to crusade against Hojo.

Xiuchang didn't cough, but Xiujia could clearly feel that the breath in his words was weak.

However, for a person with Xiang Xiuchang's status, all the famous doctors of this era are treating him, so why does the Xiu family, who is not well-known in medicine, give him the opposite guidance?
If it works, it's fine. If Xiu Zhang is sent away in advance, then the Xiu family will really feel guilty for the rest of their lives.
Therefore, the Xiu family could only say to Xiuchang and Zhiyunyuan, "My uncle still needs to take care of his health. I have many business contacts with Ming merchants. Later, I will send my retainers to Gangshan to ask for some Liao ginseng and Korean ginseng." come over.
These ginsengs are guaranteed to be ginseng roots that have been grown for more than ten years, and some of them have grown into human shapes, which have always been good nourishing medicines.
It's just that the medicinal effect of this ginseng is not small, and it will be harmful to the body if it is used too much.At that time, I will invite two famous doctors to prescribe medicine for my uncle.
I heard that this ginseng is a fairy medicine, which has the effect of invigorating vital energy and recovering pulses. It is very practical for patients with weak qi and blood or those who have recovered from a long illness. My uncle only takes medicine, and my son has enough medicine. "
"It's hard for you to be filial. I also want to live longer and contribute to the Toyotomi family. It's just that the ginseng herbalists have already prescribed it for me, but I'm not the same now. Why waste money?"
Xiuchang said that the pharmacist prescribed ginseng medicine for Xiuchang, and the Xiu family believed it, but Xiuchang never took it all the time.
The reason is very simple because ginseng has not been farmed yet, and it is grown wildly. Even in North Korea and Ming Dynasty, the price was sky-high, let alone the price in Japan.
History has described Hideyoshi after his illness and death. It is said that he lived frugally all his life, and left Hideyoshi a storehouse of gold, silver and copper coins after his death, saying that it was money saved for Hideyoshi.
How can a frugal person like Xiuchang spend sky-high prices on imported ginseng for his hopeless disease?
But this time he couldn't help it, Xiujia grabbed Xiuchang's hand, and said with tears in his eyes: "Without uncle, there would be no Hachiro today, all of this is what Hachiro owes to uncle, and Hachiro will pay it back no matter what.
You don't need to worry about money. I am friendly with Mingshang. The price of the goods is much cheaper than the market. You just need to take care of your health. "
But Xiuchang still refused and said, "I'm already a dead bone in the tomb, so why waste good medicine on me? With this money, you might as well think more about how to use it for government affairs."
"Uncle, you can't give up so easily. Do you know that before I came to Kyoto, the doctor said that Juji was pregnant. No matter what, you have to wait until the beginning of next spring. When you see our baby, your grandson is born!"
Hearing the news of Ju Ji's pregnancy, the eyes of the thin old man in front of Xiu's family suddenly became firm, feeling that his whole body was full of strength.
"Is this true?" He confirmed to the Xiu family again, and after getting a positive answer from the Xiu family, he laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha, God bless my descendants of the Toyotomi clan to prosper!"
After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Xiu's family and said, "I promise you that I will live to see the birth of your and Xiaoju's son."
The Xiu family never said that this child would be a son, but Xiu Zhang had subjectively substituted it in and acquiesced in the child's gender. The Xiu family was also embarrassed to discourage the old man's interest at this time.
Seeing the old man's decision to continue the treatment, Xiujia nodded excitedly.
