Chapter Eighty-Eight: Bargaining
Later, Hideyoshi instructed Hideho a lot, as if he would never see him again after this expedition, of course, this possibility is quite high, unless Hideho returns home early.
Seeing that it was getting late, Hideyoshi was finally willing to let Hideho go back, and before leaving, he specially instructed: "This time you only need to stay in Sacheon City honestly when you go to Korea, and leave the matter of fighting to the other legions, in addition, help me pay attention to the strength of Hidetada's 20,000 troops, and see how their combat effectiveness is, whether they are on a higher level, or not as brave as they were back then, you can also take this opportunity to see the strength of the Samurai of the Three Rivers." ”
It's already night when I returned to Koriyama Castle, and Xiubao was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to take care of Ajiang and Chiko, this time I finally had time, Xiubao first tiptoed into Ajiang's bedroom, and after some "care", he slipped into Chiko's room, until it was almost dawn, and he still didn't forget to go to Aju to ask for warmth, which was completely exhausted, and it can be seen that it may not be a good thing to have more wives.
After recuperating for two days, Hideho gathered his retainers, wealthy clans, and forces to discuss the dispatch of troops at Koriyama Castle.
The meeting was held in the Ohiroma, Hideyoshi sat at the top, and on the right side of the lower head were Horio Yoshiharu, Fukushima Takayoshi, Nagashu Masaka, Shima Kiyoko, Fujido Takatora, Maeda Keiji and other retainers promoted by Hideho, and Aoki Kazuki, Suzuki Shigetosa, Haneda Masayan and other important ministers and wealthy families of the Hidecho era led by Kuwayama Shigeharu sat on the right hand.
However, there is no choice but to be helpless, but the meeting will always be opened, and the recruitment quota still has to be allocated. Fukushima Takayoshi of the Peking Harmony Army, Shima Kiyoko of the North Ise Army, Ise Water Army, and Fujido Takatora of Southern Ise were promoted by Hideho, and naturally they would not shirk recruitment;
Although Aoki Kazuki of the Northern Kii Army is a veteran of the Hidecho era, the three generations of the family are loyal to their own family, and it is not difficult for them to recruit soldiers;
As for the iron cannon general Suzuki Shigechao and the naval army general Horiuchi Shizen, both of them are the general of the wealthy family, and they are naturally grateful to the family for receiving this preferential treatment, Hideyoshi only needs them to provide iron cannons and warships, not recruitment, and the required funds are provided by the family, how can such a beauty not accept.
As for Hideho's Yoriki, that is, Iga's Tsutsui Seiji, it was a famous iron rooster, and it was a dime a die when it was built in the first place, but this time it was not so cheap. In fact, the territory of Joji is not only Iga, but also some enclaves in Yamashiro and Ise, and the total number of stone heights is about 200,000 koku, which is historically the case. According to Hidebo's intentions, 7,200 men were either recruited for the war at the rate of 400 men per 10,000 koku, or the southern part of Nabari and Iga counties was "leased" to Hideho in order to build castles and towns connecting Ise Yamato, and as for rent, the Tsutsui family was exempted from military service.
Tsutsui Joji was not a fool, and last time Hideho also said that he would build roads, but in the end, not only did he build a larger Wae Castle next to Ueno Castle, but he also built five castles in the western part of Azuki and Iga Counties, dug deep moats around the perimeter, and paved a number of streets connecting Ise Omi, almost separating the two places from the Tsutsui family.
Now these two counties are nominally the Tsutsui family, but in fact they have been reduced to Hidebo's territory, and if Nabari County and the southern part of Iga County are handed over, Iga will fall into the hands of Hideho three-quarters, thinking of this, Dingji chose to refuse.
"Then His Highness Iga Mamoru decided to send out 7,000 people?" Hideho smiled. Under normal circumstances, the lord's conscription is about 250 people per 10,000 koku, but this time, Hideyoshi issued a levy order of 400 people per 10,000 koku in the Kinai area. Two of the counties of the Tsutsui family have fallen under the control of Hideho, and not long ago, because of the "Matsukura-shaped" incident, Hideyoshi blamed the ineffective retainers of the Dingji and handed over their territory in Ise to Hideho "escrow", so the actual knowledge and deeds of the Tsutsui family are far less than 200,000.
On the one hand, the recruitment target was increased, and on the other hand, Zhixing was reduced, in this case, if the Tsutsui family wanted to recruit 7,000 people, they could only eat food and increase taxes. Of course, Hideho asked this question just to remind Dingji, whether he wanted to cause a pinch in the collar and end up like Sasa Narumasa, or to drink to quench his thirst and exchange land for peace.
Faced with such a dilemma, Dingji was silent for a long time, and finally unwillingly chose the latter, who seemed to commit suicide slowly: "Your Highness, the lowly accepts your opinion and hands over Mingzhang County and Iga County, but I hope you can also agree to a condition for the lowly position." ”
Seeing that Hideho nodded in agreement, Dingji continued: "Please allow the lowly generals to go to Fukuchi Castle, and as for the taxes of Nishiiga, please appoint an acting official to collect them on behalf of the lowly officials, do you think this is okay?" ”
In Hidebo's impression, Fukuji Castle is a small town located in Higashiiga Yamada County, and the reasons for moving to Fukuji Castle are very clear, first, Ueno Castle is deep into Hidebo's sphere of influence, and there are five castles built by Takayoshi to the west and north, and its economic status has been replaced by Wae Castle, so it is better to move to the only county that has not been touched by Hideho instead of being in such a harsh environment, so that you can live with peace of mind, and you can ask for Hidebo's control, which is the best way at present;
Second, if Ueno Castle were to be ceded, as Joji said, the whole of Nishiiga (in fact, all the areas outside of Yamada-gun) would fall into Hideho's hands. At the beginning, the power of Xiubao was intertwined, and most of the farmers were willing to live in the territory of Xiubao, which paid less taxes, which undoubtedly cut off the financial route of the Tsutsui family in disguise. Now he simply handed over the three Iga counties to Hideho, who collected the taxes for his own family, so that no matter where the farmers farmed, the taxes would eventually go to their own pockets, and in a sense, this way would increase their income.
Xiubao wants land, set secondary money, so it saves a lot of trouble, as long as there is money to spend, why stare at your own one-third of an acre, and it is a loss to be able to think of this method, worthy of an iron rooster.
"According to Iga Mamoru's words, the taxes of the three counties of Iga will not be less than yours." Hideho smiled, and Dingji bowed down to thank him with satisfaction, and at this point, the plan to connect Ise Yamato was finally implemented.
Kuwasan Chongqing's grandson Yiqing, is the Inuyama Castle generation of Hidebo's order, and Shun Ji is the nurse of Princess Muyi, so the relationship between the Kuwasan family and Hideho has also been raised to a new height, in order to maintain this intimacy, Chongqing took the lead in stating that he would recruit troops according to the standard of 350 people per 10,000 stones, giving Hideho enough face, under his leadership, the old ministers of the Xiuchang era have expressed their willingness to send troops, and it seems that the strength of the old ministers is really not to be underestimated.
The retainers and Yori have already compromised, and the next is the Yamato wealthy clan led by Haneda Masayasu, but what Hideho didn't expect was that this young governor in his twenties would bluntly refuse the request for recruitment, and the moment he looked at him, a smile appeared on the corner of Hidebo's mouth: "Another Kaga claw?" ”
