When Hideyoshi heard Hideyoshi's words, the wind changed, and he began to want to protect his retainers, the corners of his mouth kept turning up and he thought to himself, as if to say: I caught you.
But who is Hideyoshi, one of the strongest politicians at the moment, the expression on the corner of his mouth changed for less than a second, then he calmed down and looked at Hideyoshi and asked, "What you said is also reasonable, the samurai were born and died for us , their ideas really need to be considered.”
Immediately, he threw this question back to Xiujia and asked, "Then how do you think this matter should be handled properly?"
Hearing Hideyoshi's question, Hideyoshi blurted out the answer he had prepared in his heart, "My minister thinks that both punishment and punishment should be used."
"What is the use of both punishment and punishment?"
"As the master of Jibei warriors, Erchen has gotten to know them better after so many years of contact, and I think they are relatively simple.
The so-called Fu means that the father only needs to properly consider their request and give some additional subsidies. I believe they will be very happy to transfer the request of Guandong.
On the basis of appeasement, the warriors naturally have no excuse to continue to disobey their orders, and my lord father can give some severe punishment to those thorns who took the lead in provoking trouble. "
In fact, Xiujia's suggestion is still the same old one, a sweet date and a big stick.
Hideyoshi nodded irresponsibly, and continued to ask the Xiu family, "Then how do you think this caress should be, and how should this punishment be punished?"
Hearing that Hideyoshi threw the question back to himself, Hideyoshi suddenly raised his head to look at Hideyoshi, and happened to see Hideyoshi leaning back, changed a comfortable posture and said to Hideyoshi, "Don't kneel down too, look If you feel uncomfortable, sit down and talk to me."
"Hay" Hideyoshi told Hideyoshi to change the posture of the knee seat to sit cross-legged, and replied directly to Hideyoshi, "This is not something that my son can talk about. The whole world belongs to the father. It is an honor for me to be rewarded by the land.”
Regarding this answer, Hideyoshi shook his head and denied, "No, I don't like this answer. After all, this matter is related to your family affairs, and it was first provoked by your samurai. As their patriarch, didn't you ask their opinions? ?"
Xiujia heard the meaning of Hideyoshi's words, which forced him to express his position today.
He swallowed nervously and said, and told Hideyoshi his answer, "My minister thought that with another 20 shi, I would have more room for maneuvering in the placement of the warriors after the transfer of the seal, so the minister Please father reward Sagami to me."
Hideyoshi, who originally put on an indifferent attitude, suddenly regained his energy when Hideyoshi said the word "Sagami", and stared at Hideyoshi with his energetic eyes.
Hideyoshi and Hideo were sitting face to face, and the distance was actually very close. Hideo could clearly see his facial movements and his Adam's apple swallowing. It was obvious that Hideyoshi was considering the conditions he proposed.
"20 shi." Hideyoshi did not immediately agree to Hideo's condition, but asked him another question, "I can give you 20 shi, but why do you have to look like me?"
After all, he didn't wait for Xiujia to give an answer, and turned sideways to Ishida Mitsunari behind Xiujia and said, "Sakichi, bring a map of Kanto."
Not long after, Ishida Mitsunari brought a very rough map of Kanto, the size of an A3 paper from later generations, and spread it out in front of the two of them.
Hideyoshi took the initiative to step forward, put the bowl in his hand on the position of Musashi and said, "Musashi 50 koku, Ueno 40 koku, Zongfang 60 koku, and Zhixing 150 million koku.
Including the reserved Iyo area, your Zhixing will be around 165 to 170 million shi after transfer, and you are still the largest feudal clan in the world. Before you know it, our Hachiro has really grown up. "
"It's all because of my father's concern, and my son is ashamed to be ashamed."
Hideyoshi picked up another teacup and put it on Suruga, looked up at Hideka and said, "Master Tokugawa has been in Suruga for many years, and he has guarded the eastern line of defense for me. There is no credit but hard work. Besides, he is the one who did the Kanto Expedition this time." He is the vanguard of the South Route Army, so it would be inappropriate not to reward him."
"To tell you the truth, I plan to give Izu Sagami to His Highness Tokugawa. This was promised to His Highness Tokugawa at the Toyama Conference, but he was also present. If you want Sagami today, let me go for the 20 shi Where can I find compensation?"
After finishing speaking, he put another cup in Shinano and another cup in Mikawa, and said to Xiujia, "Your highness Tsutsui Mikawa of Mikawa, they were originally the family of the great monk of Yamato, but I moved them from Yamato to Mikawa. It's not appropriate to move again.
U Yoshimaru of Shinano is your brother no matter what, so in order for you to get Sagami, it would not be appropriate for him to give up the ancestral land of the Ogasawara family.
Gifu and Owari are both your uncle's territory, and they will become Husong's Zhixing place in the future. It is even more inappropriate for you to exchange their territory for His Highness Tokugawa's Sagami. "
Speaking of this, he turned his gaze back to Sagami Country, put a saucer on its place and said to Xiujia: "You want Sagami, and His Highness Tokugawa also wants Sagami. In order to give you Sagami, I need to spend a lot of money." It took so much effort to arrange the transfer of more people.
If you can tell me the reason why I must give you Sagami today, I will give you Sagami, if not, I will find you another 20 stones from other places. "
Hideka didn’t talk about Hideyoshi’s offer of such a condition for himself, so he thought for a while and said to him, “Kanto and Kinki lieutenant generals are separated by the Shinano Mountains, and government orders are not easy to reach. That’s why Genji chose to establish the shogunate in Kanto.” s reason.
After Takashi Ashikaga took charge of the country, he deeply felt that Kanto was far away from Kyoto, which was not conducive to controlling Kyoto, so he established the shogunate in Jingzuo.Fearing that the old things in Pingyuan would come back again, he chose to send his relatives to Kamakura Prefecture to supervise the affairs of Kanto Hachishu and Izu. So far, there has been no foreign surname chaos in Kanto.
Father, you transferred me from Bizen to Kanto. I think you want to emulate the old things of the Ashikaga family, but if you don’t give me the Sagami where Kamakura is located, I don’t have enough legality to supervise the Kanto daimyo. "
Unexpectedly, as soon as Hideyoshi said this, Hideyoshi was displeased. He frowned at Hideyoshi and said angrily, "Don't be so self-righteous, Hachiro. Who said that I will give you the authority to supervise Kanto?" What?
As you said, the world's most famous and powerful ministers are my subjects, so why should the so-called Guandong government intervene? Have you longed for it in your mind for a long time with your speculation today? "
Seeing Hideyoshi's anger, the Xiu family bowed their heads to him in trepidation and said, "I heard that the transfer of the Guandong to the East is less than a month old. How can there be such a disaster that has been hidden for a long time? I just used the past to discuss the present, and never wanted to misunderstand it." For the meaning of my father, I hope my father will punish me.
What's more, even if I get Sagami, I will not do the rebellious act that the Furukawa government was lucky to do in history. I will use my actions to prove to my father that I have no such intentions. "
If Hideyoshi didn't say the latter sentence, Hideyoshi might have really fired up on the spot and wanted to deal with Hideyoshi. From Hideyoshi's point of view, Hideyoshi had this idea when he talked about the Guandong Gongfang. As for knowing the transfer time Words like too short are just excuses.
But when he heard that Xiujia took practical actions to prove himself, he suddenly became interested, and continued to ask Xiujia, "Do you mean that you can prove that after you get Sagami, you will never have the heart of the Kanto government in history?"
"Yes, my father."
"tell me the story."
"Actually, I have been thinking about this matter for a long time, and today I have the courage to ask my father to make a decision. As a result of the "Decree of One Domain, One Country, One City", I ask my father to allow me to destroy Odawara Castle first, and make a contribution for the world's great names." example!"
In fact, Hideo came up with a temporary solution in the midst of the extreme tension of Hideyoshi's threats, similar to Chi Xin's strategy of burning the plank road, in order to promote to Hideyoshi that he has no second thoughts.
But before Xiujia said it, he felt that he could not be the only one to suffer from this matter, so he simply expanded it directly, and proposed it to Hideyoshi with the template of the "One Country, One City" order of the Tokugawa Shogunate in history.
"One domain, one country, one city?" Hideyoshi murmured these words repeatedly, and asked Hideo, "What does this mean?"
Hideyoshi, who heard Hideyoshi asking for his opinion, explained the entry of this decree in history, "that is, a daimyo of a country can only retain one castle where the daimyo lives or the government hall, while other castles need to be completely abandoned.
If there are 2 or more daimyos in a commanding country who are divided and received, each of the daimyos has a city.
For example, Lord Kobayakawa, Lord Mori, and Lord Konishi of Higo can keep the three castles of Takaoka, Kumamoto, and Yatsushiro respectively.
And if a famous family owns two or more command states, each of the command states it owns is allowed to retain one city, and all other cities are abolished.
Taking the main family as an example, after the transfer of feudal titles, Musashi, Ueno, Sagami, Shangzong, Xiazong and other countries, regardless of how much they know and do, only retain the corresponding number of cities according to the order of the country, and all the cities and towns of other samurai powerful families are abolished. "
When Xiujia said this, he looked at Hideyoshi's eyes and found that he seemed to be very interested in his suggestion, so he continued to speak boldly.
"Although the so-called city gave the samurai family a sense of security, it also brought instability to society. Since the Yingren Rebellion, many people defended the city and broke the ground. The reason is nothing more than their own A city only has the capital to resist people from above.
Since the Onin Rebellion, big and small aristocrats have built large and small cities within their territories. In Bizen alone, there are 5 large cities, 9 medium cities, and 18 small cities. Other samurai families have their own courtyards. The size of the formation house is not dozens.
During the war, they are indeed an effective stronghold for defending the enemy's attack, and can also increase the daimyo's control over the territory.
But now, because Father, you are so wise and mighty, and the world will be at peace soon, these messy and useless cities have no original meaning, and may be used by a group of people to allegedly defend them.
If you can take advantage of this opportunity to rectify the big names, you can effectively strengthen your father's control over the world. "
Hideyoshi's introduction can be said to have touched Hideyoshi's heart. The reason why the Kiritan riots in Kyushu not long ago were not settled in time is because the Kiritan occupied their respective branch cities and allegedly guarded them, dividing the connection between Kyushu daimyos.
In fact, there is still one thing that the Xiu family did not say, that is, if there is a daimyo who rebels, Hideyoshi can quickly control the situation, instead of slowly conquering city by city as in the past.
But now it is a matter of "peace in the world", apart from a thorn like Hojo, how could there be a daimyo who came out to rebel?
Hideka did not say that it does not mean that Hideyoshi did not realize that Hideyoshi sold his second policy "Falling Castle System" to him while the iron was hot, and required the famous names to build different buildings according to their knowledge and behavior or their political status in the Toyotomi system. scale city.
For a daimyo with multiple territories, the cities and towns in the territories must also be different in size, which must be restricted and so on.
Hideyoshi was very interested in hearing it, and asked Xiu's family to organize it into a book and submit it to himself for review.
In fact, Hideo gave "One Country, One City" to Hideyoshi so calmly not only to reduce his defense against himself.
One reason is that although Hideyoshi in history did not restrict him by writing city laws like the Tokugawa shogunate, he did talk to some daimyos and asked them to destroy many small cities in the territory, but no Hideyoshi said That's all.
Since he will come sooner or later, Hideyoshi might as well put forward this suggestion by himself, in exchange for Hideyoshi's peace of mind for him.
Besides, this policy will indeed affect the strength of the daimyo to a certain extent, but what he is weakening are those little masters who own the land and know how to do it.
In the past, they would more or less have their own battle houses, even cities.But once the "One Country, One City" order is issued, they will have to live in the main city of the lord's house after the castle. This is actually another form of retainer gathering, which can strengthen the daimyo's control over the territory.
The Guandong that the Xiu family will transfer to is not only a piece of bad land, but also an area full of large and small cities. There are countless wealthy families with names and surnames. The descendants of Bando Baping are scattered all over the place, and each family has its own city. .
The most difficult thing for the Xiu family to transfer the closure of Guandong is actually the government order. If the city is in the hands of others, the Xiu family will have less restraint on them. If their city is completely destroyed by Hideyoshi's tiger power, they will lose Without protection, the Xiu family's arrangements can be made more smoothly.
"You just said that the first thing you did when you arrived in Kanto was to destroy Odawara Castle, right?" After understanding the basic situation of the two decrees, Hideyoshi brought the topic to Sagami
"Why is this? What I mean is, after all, Odawara was run by the Hojo family for five generations. It is a rare and powerful city in the world. Why are you not violating the basis of the "One Country, One City" order you talked about? Come on, give him a reservation?"
"The rebellion in Kanto was caused by Hojo, and the first cause of the rebellion in Hojo was Odawara."
As for Hideka’s question, Hideka already had an answer in his heart when he proposed the Odawara Castle, “It is precisely because of the existence of Odawara Castle that the Hojo Clan has repeatedly resisted the control of many generations of Kanto leaders.” .
It is precisely because of the existence of Odawara Castle that the Hojo family has the confidence to dare to disobey their father's decision.
The purpose of the son to destroy Odawara Castle is to show his father that he has no heart for the Hojo clan.
The second is that Odawara Castle was built on the Hakone Pass after all, and its original purpose was to defend the Kanto.
After the Kanto War, the world will probably usher in peace, and the role of Odawara Castle has been lost. If Sagami must be built, I would like to build another castle on the western plain of Sagami, and the effect will be the same.
The third and most important thing is that Odawara Castle has been managed by the Hojo clan for five generations and has become the place of faith of the Kanto samurai family. The purpose of destroying the second castle is to destroy the arrogance of the Kanto samurai family so that they can accept their father's control obediently. "
The above three points are what Xiujia really thinks, especially the third point.When he first proposed to destroy Odawara's castle, he still felt a little bit pained, feeling that it was forced by Hideyoshi.
But as he talked, he thought about it, and the destruction of Odawara Castle didn't seem to have as many disadvantages as he thought at first. At the very least, it could destroy the belief in the hearts of the Kanto warriors and advance his control over them.

After finishing speaking, he put another cup in Shinano and another cup in Mikawa, and said to Xiujia, "Your highness Tsutsui Mikawa of Mikawa, they were originally the family of the great monk of Yamato, but I moved them from Yamato to Mikawa. It's not appropriate to move again.
