Chapter 433: The Third Force (I)
At first glance, most of the people who were greatly enshrined were former ministers of the Toyotomi Hideyoshi period, and most of them were the Owari faction, but in fact, some of the previously inconspicuous daimyo also got a piece of the pie because of their respective military exploits.
Naoshige Nabeshima, who stayed in the northern city for meritorious service, specially sealed Fujitsu 1 County 43,000 stones, Zhixing rose to Hizen (Saga) 400,000 stones, and entered the ranks of 400,000 stone daimyo;
Hosokawa Tadashi, the original Tango territory of 280,000 stones, because of Hinohara's military exploits, as well as the retainers' stubborn defense of the castle in the pestle, Hideho specially sealed 110,000 stones, transferred to Bunzen Kokura, and became the third largest force in Kyushu after Kato Kiyomasa and Nabeshima Naoshige;
Konishi Yukinaga, Hibara persuaded Uesugi Kaikatsu to surrender during the Battle of Hibara, and it should be sealed, Hideho decided to seal the four central Higo counties he occupied to Kato Kiyomasa, and as compensation, the more fertile four northern Satsuma counties were handed over to Konishi Yukinaga, so that he went from the original control of 200,000 koku in the Higo half of the country to the Daimyo of Higo and Satsuma, with 280,000 koku of Chiyuki, becoming the fourth largest force on Kyushu Island.
After talking about Kyushu, let's talk about the eastern region.
Oda Hidenobu, whose territory reached Hida in the north, Shinano Iida Castle in the east, Esakata-gun in the west, and Owari in the south before Hideho arrived in Mino, was the largest force in the region. According to the agreement, Hideho sealed the territory of the five Nishimino families for him, but because of the unauthorized attack on Hida and other places, Iwamura Castle, which was originally promised, was included in the hiding area by Hideho, and Hidenaga Kawajiri served as the castle representative. In this way, his Zhixing increased from 123,000 stone to 280,000 stone, which was 130,000 stone less than the 410,000 stone he had laid without authorization, which really made the head of the Oda clan feel melancholy.
Oda Hideo, originally the son-in-law of Oda Nobuo, was originally a small daimyo of Echizen 50,000 stones, when Niwa Nagashige revolted, he followed Maeda Toshimasa to send troops to suppress it, and finally broke through Katsuyama Castle defended by Niwa Nagamasa, which became the last straw that crushed the Niwa clan and forced Niwa Nagashige to surrender. Out of consideration for balancing Oda Hidenobu, Hideho sealed it and transferred it to Mino's Honchao Castle, where he knew 80,000 stones. The location of the castle was very important, and it was an ingenious arrangement in the context of the feud between Oda Hidenobu and Oda Hideo.
Sanada Masayuki, the Shinshu fox of the Cousin, this time he and Sanada Nobuyoshi can be described as a brilliant and radiant battle, Hideho according to the previous agreement, his knowledge and deeds from 38,000 koku, to 127,000 koku, won the Shinano small prefecture, Saku, Shoshi, Ueko four counties and Ueno Nishi-Azuma gun. In this way, he was surrounded by Hideharu Hori to the north, Yoshinobu Satake, who had been reduced to Ueno Bankoku, to the east, and Shohisa Shosu, the head of the Seven-Hand Group who had been exiled to the west, and became an important stronghold for Hideho to control the Koshin and Ueno regions.
The Arima Feng clan was originally a daimyo of Enoe Kumangoku, but because he sided with Hideho during the "Junyuan Three Kingdoms", he contributed to the extermination of the Omori clan and other pro-Tokugawa wealthy clans, and when he sent troops to Aizu, he pacified Tokaido and avoided the commotion. And out of the need to monitor Ishida Mitsunari and Yuki Hideyasu, Hideho sealed it and transferred it to Kururi Castle in the Upper Headquarters, becoming a powerful daimyo with 180,000 stone Chiyuki. As soon as the news was announced, Arima Feng couldn't help but be grateful to Dade, and the development of events later proved that Xiubao's arrangement was indeed necessary.
Nine Demons Yoshitaka, as a daimyo who had long surrendered to Hideho and served as a naval general, Kataka and Moritaka father and son fought bravely under Hideho, and had military exploits in the Korean and Hokuriku battlefields, so they were crowned with 50,000 koku from Ise Todokai-gun, and it was to step into the ranks of 100,000 koku daimyo.
In addition, is the base of the Toyotomi clan, and most of the daimyo have been sealed, but most of these daimyo are small daimyos, and the scale of the seal is only 120,000 or even a few thousand stones, and most of them are transferred to, so I will not repeat them one by one. In doing so, Hideho clarified the situation in and paved the way for future administration; the second is to strengthen the control of and avoid the regeneration of branches in the central area of the Toyotomi clan; The third is to strengthen the monitoring of Osaka to ensure that every move of Hideyori and Yodohime can be known by himself, and he can't let guys like Katagiri and Moto stir up trouble again.
Although the above-mentioned daimyo are all sealed, and the scale is very inferior to the previous daimyos, the rate of sealing is indeed very high, especially the daimyo of the eastern country, the number of Zhixing who is sealed is less than twice that of the original Zhixing, and more than three times, which obviously contains the importance and attraction of Xiubao to them. Hideho understood that the effect of sealing a 500,000-stone daimyo was far less far-reaching than that of sealing a 20,000-stone daimyo with 40,000 stones.
Of course, the most important means is the next new daimyo.
This time, Xiubao promoted a total of 27 retainers, courtiers, and wealthy families to daimyo, which is more than the daimyo who have the ability to block it, and the promotion strength should not be underestimated. Hideho understands that the traditional and powerful daimyo are to be appeased, and the local traditional daimyo is to be wooed, but there are still many unknowns in these daimyos, and in order to ensure the stability of the world in the future, he must promote a group of "self-made" meritorious officials, whether it is family character, knowledge or status, they must not be stingy with them, they must make them feel their own grace, remember their "grace of knowledge", only in this way, they will die for their lives. These new daimyo are the "third force" in the eyes of Hidebo.
The first to bear the brunt was Fujido Takatora, who and Shima Kiyoxing were the right-hand men of Hideho in the early days of Hideho's succession to the Yamato Toyotomi clan, and in a series of later events, he mostly advised Hideho from the side. Although later Goto Keiji, Komiyayama Harukatsu and others also began to emerge, his position as the first wise general of the Yamato Toyotomi clan is unshakable. Previously, his domain consisted of two parts, one was Ise Otsu Castle, which Hideho gave him, and the other was Mino Northern Castle, which Hideyoshi rewarded during his lifetime, totaling 120,000 koku. This time, with a stroke of his pen, Xiubao tripled his Zhixing and became a great name with 398,000 stones of Zhixing in Nagato and Zhoufang! In addition, Hidebo also gave him 50,000 stone of pension materials in Yamashiro, Omi and other places, so that his knowledge and deeds were only 6,000 stone less than Fukushima Masanori, who ranked tenth, and his identity also changed from a courtier to a lord of the two countries, and he also ranked first among the central ministers of the Yamato Toyotomi clan, which can be described as fame and fortune, which is what Hidebo showed to the world, for loyal ministers, he has always been stingy.
There is a high tiger in terms of strategy, and there is a left and close in terms of martial arts. Shima Kiyoshi, an old minister and important minister on the same level as Fujido Takatora, has outstanding achievements, but he also faces the challenges of his juniors, such as Nasu Zikichi, Fukushima Takayoshi, and Ogasawara Tadakiyoshi, etc., all have no less courage than him, and their military exploits are also outstanding. But Hideho is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, and in the early days of his succession as the governor of the family, it was the loyalty and bravery of Shima Kiyoxing that allowed him to save himself from danger in the riots again and again, and this credit is worth remembering and rewarding. For this reason, Hidebo decided to promote him from a retainer who owned 100,000 koku of Ise Nagashima and Owari Katsuhata to a daimyo who owned the three kingdoms of Inaba, Tajima, and Oki, and Zhixing was even raised to 375,000 koku, although it was slightly inferior to Fujido Takatora, but Shima Kiyoko was already satisfied and grateful.
