"The plan formulated by His Highness is very detailed and very reasonable, and there is no objection to it." To the surprise of the Ukita Hideya, Maeda Toshimasa only glanced at the plan a few times, and then expressed his support for Hideho, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was Maeda Toshimasa showing goodwill to Hideho.

"In that case, what should I do?" Ukita Hideya suddenly fell into a dilemma: "Of the four people here, three have agreed to this plan, and it is not only difficult to accept standing up and raising objections at this time, but on the contrary, it may also cause displeasure in the right house, which will inevitably be detrimental to the development of the Ukita family in the future; But as the adopted son of Taige, how could I allow such a thing to weaken the strength of the Zong family to happen? ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Ukita Hideya's personal emotions finally prevailed over reason, and while everyone was chatting, he raised a few points of his "confusion".

"Your Highness, there are a few points that are unclear, please give me some advice." Ukita Hideya respectfully asked.

"Your Highness is too humble." Hideho pointed his hand to the plan in front of him and said calmly.

"First, why are the culprits Tokugawa, Uesugi and even Mori not changed, and all of them have retained more than 100,000 koku, and the Tokugawa family is as high as 530,000 koku! This is more than the great names who have made war exploits, and once it is promulgated, isn't His Highness afraid of causing public outrage? ”

"Even if Your Highness doesn't ask, I have to explain this to you." Hideho had obviously already thought of his words, and as soon as the Ukita Hideya spoke, he took over the conversation: "First of all, in terms of crime, the above three families are indeed the masterminds of this war, and it is light to change them according to the degree of harm.

However, they are not ordinary daimyos, but important ministers who have made great contributions to Nobunaga and Taiko to unify the world in the past ten years. To a certain extent, without them, there would be no current world, and before Taiko's death, they were the right-hand men of the Toyotomi clan and devoted themselves to public service; After Taiko's death, their ambitions swelled in a vain attempt to usurp the Toyotomi clan's world. If it is punished for treason, it can certainly quickly create deterrence and stabilize the situation. However, I heard that many of the daimyo who followed the army to conquer Aizu had close contacts with them, and even the daimyo who had made great achievements in the war still exchanged letters during the war. ”

If we insist on changing or even exterminating these three elders, we will not only turn a blind eye to their previous achievements, but will also chill those daimyo who have followed the Toyotomi clan for a long time like them, and will also make those daimyo who had close contacts with them earlier wary and uneasy, for fear that one day our Toyotomi clan will know about this matter and convict them, which will not only affect their loyalty to their own family, but also prompt them to form a faction and become a potential threat to the stability of the world. ”

For Hideho's explanation, Ukita Hideya was skeptical, although there didn't seem to be any logical problem with what Hideho said, but the three leaders will continue to maintain more than 100,000 stone of knowledge, which is like a tiger's fangs have not been pulled out, and no one can guarantee that they will not make a comeback.

"You Mansion shouldn't want to 'raise your own respect', right?" Ukita Hideya speculated secretly. After all, as long as the potential threat is not eliminated, Hideho has a reason to always control the center of the world, although Hideho has helped him many times, but between righteousness and personal feelings, he chose the former, which is to gradually draw a line with Hideho, and at the same time try to avoid the decline of the Toyotomi clan.

"According to what Youfu said, it is enough to give them 10,000 or 20,000 stones to keep their family names, why are they all more than 100,000 stones? Don't you know that most of the big names in this world don't even have 50,000 stones, what do you make them think? Ukita Hideya asked rhetorically.

"Indeed, one or two thousand is enough, but please see clearly that in the plan drawn up by the next, there is a premise for allocating so many Zhixing to the Tokugawa family." Hideho pointed to the plan on the table and said seriously: "First, all the Tokugawa clan and retainers who participated in the war must go to Koyasan to make a fortune, and the Uchifu himself is no exception; Second, the head of the Tokugawa clan was changed to Major General Yuuki, which was directly appointed by us and must be enforced; Third, although the Tokugawa clan had 530,000 kokuzhiyuki, it had to be moved to Hitachi Province, which was adjacent to Kanpachi.

Similarly, for the Mori clan, although the 480,000 stone of Aki and Bigo were still retained, the premise was that the Yoshikawa clan would be exiled, and all the retainers who participated in the war would retire, and Prime Minister Izumo (Mori Hidemoto) would inherit the position of head of the Mori clan.

Your Highness, you only see the 530,000 stones and the 480,000 stones, but you don't see the other prerequisites, and these are interconnected and interlinked. Take 10,000 steps back and say, with the great military exploits of Major General Yuuki and Prime Minister Izumo in Hinohara, what about giving them 500,000 Zhixing? Moreover, they themselves are famous names with 110,000 or 160,000 stone Zhixing, and this time they are nominally joining the Jizong family, but in fact, they can be regarded as sealing and transferring, so in this way, is it a lot of eyes? ”

As Hideho said, Yuki Hideyasu was the head of the Summing City clan before the war, with 110,000 stone Zhixing; Mori Hidemoto is a branch of the Mori clan that owns the 160,000 stone Zhixing of the Nagato Governor's Mansion, and the two of them already have a relatively strong foundation before the war.

Of course, there is another reason, which is only known to Hideho himself, and it can only rot in the stomach: to divide the family into the main family, it will inevitably cause a certain amount of commotion, this kind of commotion can be big or small, the small family will solve it by itself, and if it is big, it will require the Toyotomi clan to come forward, and the Gamo family was reduced to 230,000 stone because of the commotion at home, which is only a quarter of the original Zhixing.

Hidebo's purpose in doing this is very clear, if Yuki Hideyasu and Mori Hidemoto are capable enough, even if they sell them a personal favor, it will be convenient to use them in the future; If the ability is insufficient and causes a commotion, Hideho will justifiably intervene, and at that time, the decline of the Tokugawa and Mori families and even the severance of the family will not be blamed on others, so that the two major troubles can also be eliminated, but the effect and impact are much better than directly changing the two families.

In fact, Hideho trusted Mori Hidemoto more than Yuuki Hideyasu, who stopped the Tokugawa army's surprise attack at a critical moment, but was that for Hideho or for Hideyori? This is unknown, if he is the same as the Ukita Hideya in front of him, he only recognizes Xiulai and does not recognize Xiubao, what is the use of giving him more knowledge?

Therefore, in order to prevent trouble, unlike the direct reduction of the Maori clan, Hideho also transferred the Tokugawa clan and let them rule the territory of the old enemy Satake clan, and at the same time, Hidebo also supported Mabe Yoshigan as an independent daimyo, and planned to give some Zhixing to the descendants of the "Southern Thirty-three Pavilions" headed by the Daisho clan, and through these two thorns, the Tokugawa clan was stuck in Hitachi. Once there is a change in the future, Hideho will take the initiative, whether to give Yuki Hideyasu a personal favor, or push the boat down the river to take back Changriku, this will only be in Hideho's thoughts.
