Ishida's 3% Mistake

Chapter 485 Ishida Mitsunari's Mistake

Hideka looked at Ishida Mitsunari with some doubts, but soon understood the meaning of his words.

In fact, due to information asymmetry, when Hideyoshi agreed to transfer the conditions to Hideyoshi, Ishida Mitsunari was still connecting with the princes in the Kanto.

With the greatest rights that Hideyoshi promised to him before, in addition to promising the safety of Satomi Yoshiyasu, Satake Yoshishige and others, there are additional conditions.

Hideyoshi Toyotomi Hidecho fought for the Hide family for the final arrangement of the transfer of the Hide family to Kanto. Before that, Hideyoshi did not know the conditions that Ishida Mitsunari agreed to Satake Yoshishige, and this caused the overlap between the Hide family and them.

There are many reasons for this, but Hideyoshi will definitely not admit that it is his own problem, so he is likely to throw this problem back to Ishida Mitsunari and let him solve it by himself.

For Ishida Mitsunari, connecting with the Kanto princes headed by Satake is his merit. He doesn't want his merit to be stained, so he wants to come to discuss with Hideka whether they can take a step back.

Hideka figured out all the twists and turns, but was somewhat upset when Ishida Mitsunari came to him and asked him to back down.

After all, to put it bluntly, this is a fief that is stipulated for you. Do you mean that I should reduce the fief to satisfy your merits?
Even in the end, the Satake family didn't necessarily feel grateful for the kindness of the Hide family, but thought that Ishida Sannai was what they begged for.

According to the arrangement that Hideyoshi told himself, Satake will be placed in Kita Hitachi, Satomi will be placed in Utsunomiya, including Utsunomiya in Ueno, these three are nails for Tokugawa Ieyasu to look at him!

Good guy, you Ishida Matsunari cut my flesh, and then went to earn your own reputation. In the end, maybe this group of people will join together to surround me?
Do you think my Xiu family is young and easy to bully?
Hideka listened to Ishida Mitsunari's request, with a bad expression on his face, and said in a refusal tone, "Daisuke Jibu has found the wrong person, the matter of awarding the award is naturally decided by the father himself, and my retainers should follow the order of the father , how can I and other retainers be able to talk about it?"

Ishida Mitsunari seemed to talk about Hideka's refusal, and still perseveringly said to Hideka, "The matter of rewards is naturally decided by the lord, but His Highness is deeply trusted by the lord, and some personal ideas will not be rejected compared to others.

Leaving aside the transfer of His Highness, the lord will definitely reward you for your achievements in Ueno and Musashi.

Now that Satomi's family has been punished by the lord, it has almost become settled. Can His Highness propose to His Highness Guan Bai that he should use Satomi's Fang Boss to replace the originally promised Hitachi territory? "

The Hide family calmed down a little when they heard that Ishida Mitsunari did not want to reduce the fiefdom to satisfy Satake Yoshinobu. If it was just a replacement of the territory, it might not be a loss on the surface, but it was not acceptable to the Hide family.

The three most valuable neighboring countries in this place in Kanto are Musashi, Ueno, and Hitachi, not only because of their excellent geographical location and fertile soil, but also because of the rich mineral deposits in the mountains around them.

The Chichibu Mine in Musashi is rich in gold, silver, and iron ore. Hugami Jinzan and Kamiogawa Jinzan on the edge of Ueno Numata, Shinoi Jinzan and Xiaobai Jinzan on the north side of Shimono Utsunomiya Castle, Tochihara Jinzan and Shiozawa in the northwest of Hitachi Jinshan and Musashi Township Jinshan are important sources of financial support for the Tokugawa shogunate in the future.

In addition, there are Shimono Ashino Copper Mine and Hitachi Akasawa Copper Mine, which are very important copper mines for later generations.

Their output may not be as good as the Hungzhimai Gold Mine and Besshi Copper Mine that the Xiu family now owns, but the accumulation of so many mines is still a considerable resource.

The biggest difference between Xiujia and the daimyos of this era is that he values ​​industrial output more than the food output on the land, because these things can be exchanged for higher value.

The reason why the Xiu family worked so hard in the Battle of Kanto, and even took great risks to launch a surprise attack on Ueno, was that they wanted to make more meritorious deeds in order to obtain a larger fiefdom.

These fiefdoms should preferably cover the two countries of Shimono and Hitachi. As for the Satomi family's Shangzong and Anfang, they are no longer considered by the Hideka family.

Of course, it is also beneficial to go to the sum and install a house. Except for a little mountain at the southern end, the two lands are relatively flat as a whole. It can be seen from the 9 shi after the house inspection and the 37 shi after the general inspection. The development potential of the territory is not small.

Moreover, Kamiso is a rare good port on the side close to Tokyo Bay. Its Chiba Minato, Kamakura Minato in the west of Sagami, and Shinagawa Minato in the south of Musashi are the most important trading ports in Kanto.

Of course, the Xiu family is also very clear that it is impossible for the Satake family to transfer the title to the general manager and Anfang. Although the knowledge and practice of the two countries exceed 45 shi, but before the inspection of the land, the height of the Anfang table is only 5. 28.5 shi, and the upper total list is [-] shi. This kind of knowledge and practice is not enough to arrange Satake. After all, compensation is required for transfer.

Hideka was displeased with Ishida Mitsunari's attitude of wanting to make amends for the Satake family from himself, but as a Kanto native, Hideka didn't want to refuse rashly and turn against the Satake family.

Hideka thought about the promise Ishida Osamu had promised to Satake's Hitariku Benkuni and the Satomi Clan's upper head, An Fang Quan Ling and the lower head office, combined with the many empty checks he wrote during the Sekigahara War in history, Suddenly found out that this guy has a criminal record for offering high rewards for Zhixing!

We must know that when Hideyoshi confirmed that Satake had Hitachi in history, it was judged based on the shogunate’s military service certificate that Hitachi’s knowledge and practice were about 35 to 40 shi. Around 25 to 28, it is understandable for Hideyoshi to give 5% of the seal out of consideration for wooing.

But when it was found that Hitachi was 54 shi after the land inspection, Hideyoshi was obviously a little unhappy.

It was also from the appointment of the Hitachi Satake family that Hideyoshi created a precedent for the disposal of knowledge in Japan, and clearly arranged the knowledge and practice of the Satake family.

In the past, whether it was Hideyoshi or Oda Nobunaga, they gave a general range of rewards to their retainers. The output of this territory is yours. You only need to provide corresponding people to serve in the military. The lord will not To manage your arrangements for the territory.

However, regarding Satake's placement in Hitachi, Hideyoshi wrote the following statement when he finally established Satake's Zhixing:
Yoshinobu Satake has 15 stones of the Zhixing site, 10 stones of the hidden site, 5 stones of the buried site by Satake Yoshishige, and 6 stones of the Satake Nakago Daisuke (Satake Yoshihisa), of which 1 stones are hidden Enter, 5 stones are the collar of knowledge and practice.

16.88 koku for Yuli vassal family, 1 koku for Taiko Yangzang (a personal tribute to Hideyoshi), 1000 koku each for Ishida Mitsunari, Masuda Nagamori, and Asano Nagamasa’s help in Land Land, and 54.88 koku for the general knowledge.

At the end, I also left this inscription: The above is based on the latest cadastral survey and will be in your charge.

Wenlu four years (1595), June [-]th
[Hideyoshi Zhuyin] To: Hashiba Hitachi Kingdom Attendant Hall

[Ishida Mitsunari Seal] Osamu Ishida Osamu Daisuke and personal decals (signature)
It can be seen from this that after Wen Lujian discovered that Hitachi's knowledge and actions were super high, some of his knowledge and actions were appropriately deleted, and Satake Yoshinobu did not let Satake Yoshinobu completely control the Hitachi country.

In it, he strictly demarcated his tax-free hiding places, the scope of land that needs to bear taxes and military service, and the upper limit of land that can be awarded to retainers. There are clear rules.

I want to popularize science here. Many people are influenced by film and television works and think that hiding is the exclusive name of Hideyoshi's territory, but it is actually wrong.

Hidden means direct control of land, that is, this territory is directly controlled and managed by a daimyo or people from all over the world.

These lands can be entrusted to retainers, but the retainers entrusted here cannot participate in the management of the territory, but are managed by the daimyo's officials, which is equivalent to the food town in ancient China.

The Zhixing land is the land allocated by the daimyo to the xiaoming, and this land is directly managed by the xiaoming. This is the real enfeoffment similar to the European fiefdom.

In fact, the system of Hiroshiji originated from the royal collar of the Muromachi shogunate, and was later perfected by Oda Nobunaga, and was finally inherited by Hideyoshi and Ieyasu.

From the perspective of behavior, Hideyoshi knocked down 1.3 stone collars from the territory of the Satake family, and it is debatable that Hideyoshi used them as the territory of his Tibetan and several retainers.

According to the research of later generations, it is very likely that Hideyoshi deliberately left a patch in his collar in order to grasp the abundance of the daimyo's harvest this year.

This territory is neither big nor small. While reducing its actual territory, it will neither anger the Satake family nor drive a wedge into their territory. It can be said to serve multiple purposes.

Facing Ishida Mitsunari's request, Hideka smiled helplessly and said, "Daisuke Jibe may be a qualified shogun, but you are definitely not a qualified daimyo and ruler.

At the beginning, I thought that you shared the same salary with Dao Zuojin's monarch and ministers because you simply admired his talent, but now I realize that you are the head of the family and don't know the price of daily necessities!

This place of knowledge and practice is the most important weapon of the country. How come it is as if you can throw away alms at will in your mouth, and the price offered is so shocking. Changlu Yiguo and Shangzong Yiguo gave it away as soon as they said it.

According to the original arrangement, how could he see Yikang and He De to give the rewards of the top general and the lower general?Satakeden may have some credit, but is doubling knowledge and practice a bit too generous a reward? "

"." Mitsunari Ishida was confused by Hideka's accountability, and asked Hideka suspiciously, "Doctor Ukyo Satake reported that his territory has already been defeated by half of Hitachi, and his knowledge exceeds 28 shi. But 40, did you give 12 shi for the sake of winning over Satake?
The seal I issued to the Satomi family may have been a bit late, but their influence in Kanto is indeed not small, and they can persist for so long under the Hojo clan's invasion, which is a force that the family urgently needs to win over.Even if it is not given to the lower general, it should be given the security of the upper general. "

Xiujia scratched his head helplessly. Although he knew Chang Luguo's true knowledge and deeds, he had no evidence in hand.

Not to mention that even if there is land evidence, it would be a bit strange for him to be named as a Western country.

Finally, Hideka took out a full map of Hitachi from the side and showed it to Ishida Mitsunari, and drew the various sub-counties of Hitachi in it, which was much more detailed than the common maps of the Warring States Period.

"There are 11 sub-counties in Hitachi, Shinji, Mabe, Tsukuba, Hanoi, Shinta, Ibaraki, Xingfang, Kashima, Naka, Kuji, and Taga. The Satake family has four counties: Ibaraki, Naka, Kuji, and Taga. Occupies less than half of the mainland.

If the knowledge and practice of 28 shi mentioned by Satake Yoshinobu is true, then the knowledge and practice of Hitachi must exceed 50 shi.

If you have been to Hitachi, you should know that apart from the 4 counties controlled by the Satake family, Hitachi has the most mountains. The southern part of Satake is full of fertile fields! "

At this time, there was no satellite remote sensing technology, and it was difficult to draw detailed maps. Although people in this era attached great importance to maps, they were far from the level of later generations.

Often a map will be passed on for hundreds of years after it is drawn, which is why Hirai Castle, which was already Philadelphia, was still marked on the map when Hideka was in Ueno.

Ishida Mitsunari picked up the map in Xiu's hand and looked at it for a long time, then asked in surprise, "Where did your Highness get this map?"

Hideka took back the map from him, refolded it and handed it to Ishida Mitsunari, and said to him, "Do you still think that the conditions offered to the Satake family Hitachi Ichikuni's Andu are just right?

This matter concerns my father's official position in Kanto, shouldn't you be more cautious?

Fortunately, it's not too late, I'll hold Yoshinobu Satake and the others for you, you go back to Odawara first, report this matter to your father, and let him make the final decision. "

Ishida Mitsunari took over the map from the Xiu family, feeling mixed emotions in his heart. Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew that what the Xiu family said was right, Chang Lu's knowledge and behavior were underestimated.

And he hastily made the promise of Hitachi Quanling, which is irresponsible to his lord Hideyoshi.

At this moment, Ishida Mitsunari had already forgotten the purpose of his coming to meet the Hide family this time, and even forgot that he came to help the Satake family to speak, and his mind was full of how to make up for it.

Looking up at Xiu's family, he took the initiative to ask, "What kind of reward does General You think the Satake family should give?"

Although Xiujia, as a retainer, shouldn't comment on the matter of rewards, but looking at Ishida Mitsunari's eager eyes, Xiujia was moved with compassion.

Xiujia reminded him, "Since you gave Chang Lu the full collar at the beginning, it was agreed according to the standard of 40 stones in Chang Lu, then the final reward can be based on this."

Xiujia finished speaking and patted his hand to comfort him, "Don't worry, the reward for Chang Lu's skills was approved by his father. Now that you have discovered the problem of Chang Lu's knowledge, you have made meritorious service. I believe my father will not will blame you."

Hideka pointed out that Hitachi’s knowledge and practice land is more than 40 shi, but it’s not just a kind reminder to Ishida Mitsunari, you must know that if you don’t say it, then the difference between the superficial height and the actual height of Nan Changlu that you occupy in the end will also be determined by yourself. Mastered.

But I still said it, the reason is very simple, it is to alienate the relationship between Ishida Mitsunari and Satake Yoshinobu, Hitachi country 40 shi and the Satake family owns 28 shi, but Satake Yoshinobu himself and Ishida Mitsunari confirmed.

Now if there is a big deviation in this place of knowledge and practice, what will Ishida Mitsunari think of Satake Yoshinobu?

It was Hideyoshi's agreement to give the Satake family Changlu Quanling on the basis of the Satake family's obedience. If he knew that the Satake family had concealed knowledge, would he still give the Satake family a reward of 40 shi?

Facing the Utsunomiya family who concealed knowledge and knowledge in history, Hideyoshi was resolute and directly removed the seal. In fact, the Satake family also had such problems, but they were given a lighter punishment under the mediation of Ishida Mitsunari.

Historically, Ishida Mitsunari and Masuda Nagamori were the main ones who dealt with the issues of Utsunomiya and Satake Tomoyuki. These two wore a pair of trousers, so it was easy to conceal them.

But once there is another insider about this matter, when this insider is still as powerful as the Xiu family, they would not dare to help the Satake family deliberately conceal it even if they were given three guts.

Xiujia believes that Ishida Mitsunari is a smart person and will know how to choose.

For the Hide family, if the Satake family must be placed in Hitachi, then the appropriate Yin Satake family is actually a good choice.

Ishida Mitsunari calmed down a little, and thanked Hideo, and then stopped entangled in front of Hideo. After bidding farewell to Hideo, he took the map of Hitachi that Hideo had given him, and went to Odawara impatiently that day. report this.
