Ten days after Li Zongcheng fled Hakata by boat, Hideho, escorted by Takatora and Kiyoko, led a welcoming procession of more than 100 people across the Seto Inland Sea to Shimonoseki Port.

Prior to this, Hideho paid a visit to Mori Terumoto, who was in Hiroshima Castle. Speaking of the Maori family, here we have to replace the complicated surname relationship in Japan, far from it, starting from the four major surnames in Japan, the four surnames we mention on weekdays, "Gen, Taira, Tachibana, Fuji" The four surnames we mention refer to the "original surname", in fact, they all belong to the surname "courtier", and "courtier" is a branch of the "eight-color surname" set by Emperor Tenmu, and over time, the concept of "surname" gradually blurred, replaced by "clan", that is, "this surname".

Since the Fujiwara and Gen clans were all descended from "courtiers", "courtiers" became the most noble of the eight surnames, and over time, "courtiers" became the mainstream and occupied the ruling class in Japan. However, even if they belong to the same "courtiers", the categories are also different, there are usually three categories of "Huangbei", "Shenbei" and "Zhufang", the four original surnames mentioned earlier, among which "Yuan" and "Ping" are the results of "the surrender of the courtiers", which naturally belong to the "Huangbei"; Fujiwara's ancestor Fujiwara is not equal, his surname is Zhongchen, the general court, Emperor Tenchi gave the surname Fujiwara to show his weight, and there were no other three surnames at that time, so the Fujiwara family became the most prominent family at that time, and since then it has begun to occupy the court and the opposition, almost synonymous with the minister, and the origin is the "godhead", that is, the god official; As for the "orange" clan, it is more special, the predecessor is the "courtier" and the "courtier" belongs to the "eight-color surname" of the "Sumi", because of the merits of the ancestors, and the "courtier" is the most prominent surname, so the Yuan Ming Emperor gave his ancestor the "orange courtier", officially listed as one of the "four surnames", and "Yuan", "Ping" belong to the same "Huangbei".

At this point, you may be a little impatient: What does this have to do with the Maori family? The original surname of the Maori clan is the Oe, although it belongs to the same "god bete" as the Fujiwara clan, but one is the "Tensun clan", and the other is the "Tenjin clan" It doesn't have much to do with it, the most important point is that the origin of the Oe clan is later than the "four surnames", and the ancestors are neither ministers nor samurai, but scholars and singers, and other surnames are lagging behind in status. It is also understandable that Mori Yuan was reluctant to enter Kinai for a long time.

Of course, there is something more special than the Oe, that is the surname in the "Domain", the most famous is of course "Qin" and "Weizong", the former is the original surname of the Changzong family, the latter is the original surname of the Shimazu family (although it is claimed to be from the Qing and Genji), both of these are immigrants from the East of Middle Earth, that is, "the people who crossed the river", it can be said that in the early stage it was still relatively brilliant, but in the later period, especially after the Genping two families gained power, they almost disappeared, as for the reason, it will be mentioned next.

Friends who know the Warring States of Japan should know that the most powerful of the Japanese samurai are the "Yuan" and "Ping" families, and among them, the "Qinghe Genji" and "Huan Wuping Clan" are the most famous, and the ethnic distribution is also the most extensive, and there are many reasons for this, but "non-Yuanping must not be the general of Zhengyi" must be an unavoidable reason, especially in the Warring States Period, which daimyo who dreamed of dominating Japan did not come from these two families? Takeda Shingen (Kiyowa Genji Yoshikinyu), Uesugi Kenshin (original surname "Nagao", belonging to the Huan Wuhei clan), Oda Nobunaga (first called Fujiwara clan, later renamed Taira), Tokugawa Ieyasu (first called Kamo clan, then changed to Fujiwara clan, and finally changed to Kiyowa Genji).

Some people here may ask, didn't Hideyoshi just create his own surname, and didn't he still rule the world? I can only "hehe" here, do you think Hideyoshi is really so domineering, don't you need Genpei and let the emperor give another surname? As everyone knows, Hideyoshi once asked Ashikaga Yoshiaki to accept him as an adopted son, in order to inherit the famous family of Genji and reopen the mansion, but Yoshiaki refused to agree, which was prompted by the minister to change his surname to Toyotomi, causing an embarrassing situation in which the head of the public family led the samurai, the so-called "name is not right", which is also a reason for the unstable foundation of the Toyotomi regime. Just imagine, if Hideyoshi is a general, then he will be succeeded by Hideyori after his death, how can Tokuieyasu take the opportunity to take the opportunity to open and fight against Osaka? Even if it is Seiwa Genji, he is just one of the samurai family, and since he is loyal to the general who is the head of the samurai family, how dare he trespass.

Of course, Hideyoshi didn't notice this, as can be seen from the fact that he gave the surname Miao everywhere, whether it was Date and Mogami in the east, or Satake and Tokugawa in the Kanto region, or Maori and Shimazu in the west, either he was given his surname "Toyotomi", or the Miao character "Yuchai", although it was too widespread, but it was also a manifestation of Hideyoshi's helplessness.

Next, we will introduce the Miao character, which I believe everyone knows very well, which is a common title in history books now, such as Tokugawa Ieyasu, "Tokugawa" is the Miao character, and "Yuan" is the surname; Zong Yizhi, "Zong" is the Miao character, and "Weizong" is the surname; The only difference is that Toyotomi is a family, "Toyotomi" is the surname, and "Yuchai" is the Miao character.

Through the above introduction, you will also know the name of each daimyo on formal occasions, compared to Hideho's full name "Toyotomi courtier Yushiba Daiyan Hideho", Maori Terumoto is "Oe's courtier Maori Nayan Huiyuan" (Hideyoshi gave the surname Yushiba, and later generations also called it "Yuchai Izumi Nayan"), Motojin is "Qin courtier Namune I bu Yuanqin", in addition to the famous "source courtier Tokugawa Uchiganchi Minister Ieyasu" and "Fujiwara courtier Uesugi Nayan Keikatsu".

Now everyone may know why Terumoto is desperate to marry Hideho, "Neither the Toyotomi clan nor the Oe clan belong to the "Four Great Surnames", and only by marrying to increase their momentum can they control their retainers, deter other samurai daimyo, and maintain their dominance. This is Huiyuan's statement, and it is also what he confided in when he learned of the marriage between Xiubao and Xiuxing. Although there is no lack of alarmism, it is still necessary to take it seriously, in fact, throughout the battle of Sekigahara, most of the daimyo who are not the "four surnames" are on the side of the Western Army, such as Mori, Shimazu, Nagamune Ibu, etc., which Hideho has never thought of before, and marriage is undoubtedly the most effective and direct means until a better solution is come up with.

Thinking of this, Xiubao gritted his teeth and promised Hui Yuan: "Please also ask the Yellow Gate Hall to relax, and when the child of Komahime is born, whether it is male or female, he will definitely consider marrying the Maori family first." ”
