Chapter 436: The Covenant of the Castle
For most of the six months after the completion of the post-war disposition, the haze of war that enveloped the entire territory of Japan gradually dissipated, and the daimyo were all released from mobilization, and after returning to their respective territories for a simple handover, they went to the new territories according to the disposal plan. Although the government affairs were complicated during this time, it was relatively smooth on the whole, which also allowed Xiubao to enjoy a comfort that he had not had for a long time.
Of course, there are two other things that he has been relieved of: one is that Tokugawa Ieyasu stayed in Fushimi's house to recuperate on the grounds of ill health, and he was unable to get up and go to Koyasan to become a monk. The second is that Ishida Mitsunari is also in Osaka Castle, and he often walks to Honmaru, as if he wants to use the face of Yodohime's mother and son to make the last struggle for himself to stay in Osaka.
On the fifth day of October of that year, Maeda Toshimasa informed Hideho that the Maeda Toshimae family was running out of time, and the Maeda family had begun to prepare for the future. Fujido Takatora immediately persuaded Hideho to take this opportunity to serve Yukichiyo and Takeomaru Yukimoto, and invited Gamo Hideyuki, the first daimyo of the Northeast and Hideho's brother-in-law, to serve as Yukichiyo's ebony hat, and invited Maeda Toshiie, the first daimyo of Hokuriku, to serve as the ebony hat of his sister-in-law, Takeomaru.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hidebo ordered the daimyos to move to Yashiki in Fushimi Castle on the grounds that Osaka needed to be repaired after the turmoil, and attended all of Hidebo's elaborate Motofu ceremonies in the coming years. On the other hand, entrusting Fujido Takatora to meet Tokugawa Hideyasu in person, suggesting that he urged Tokugawa Ieyasu to leave for Koyasan as soon as possible, which can be regarded as giving both sides a step.
A few days later, Tokugawa Hideyasu asked for a forbearance period of several months on the grounds that it was freezing and he was worried that Ieyasu's body would not be able to support him, but he did not reply for a long time. In order to avoid causing trouble to the Tokugawa family, Tokugawa Ieyasu had no choice but to leave Osaka Castle on the first day of November and go to Koyasan Residence accompanied by Honda Tadakatsu and other senior ministers.
Even Tokugawa Ieyasu is gone, and Ishida Mitsunari is naturally shameless in Osaka Castle, so he rushed to Kanto with his retainers to take care of the mess in Xiazong. The lower general has long been under the control of Tokugawa Hideyasu, and is adjacent to Hideyasu's existing territory of Hitachi, and the pro-Tokugawa forces in the territory are very strong, ignoring Ishida Mitsunari Ai, and the policies promulgated against him are mostly yang and yin.
Ishida Mitsunari also tried to follow Hideho's example in Tokaido many times and wipe out these disobedient guys, but he knew his own weakness: on the one hand, the retainers were not strong enough, and the one-hearted Masuda Nagamori was also separated from him, and it was difficult to form a joint force; On the other hand, Hideho was a killer back then, but there was Toyotomi Hideyoshi behind him, but who was behind him? The Elder's Council is long gone, and his loyal Toyotomi clan is declining, and as for Hideho, he is a guy who can't see his own goodness, and it would be good if he didn't fall into the well when the time came, and it was really impossible to expect him to support him.
After thinking about it, Ishida Mitsunari gave up this radical approach and tried to solve the current problems by peaceful means such as negotiations, but unfortunately, the wealthy families and the landlords were the masters of the inch, and they regarded Ishida Mitsunari's concession as cowardice, and they became more and more serious.
But this time is different from the past, without the support of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the head of the five commissions who once called for wind and rain has nothing to do, so he can only send people to Fushifu to meet Hideho and Tokugawa Hideyasu, and cheekily hope that the two can reconcile so that he can implement the new policy with peace of mind.
Tokugawa Hideyasu was noncommittal to his request, after all, these arrogant and domineering guys were loyal to him, and let them accept the rule of Ishida Mitsunari, not to mention them, even he was difficult to accept for a while.
Tokugawa Hideyasu did think about moving them to Hitachi, not only to relieve Ishida Mitsunari's worries, but to hope that these guys could be used as his own strength to counter the threat to his dominance in Hitaku by the "Southern 33 Pavilions" and Makabe Yoshigan of Magabe Prefecture. However, most of these wealthy families and landowners were reluctant to leave their homes, and even at the request of the former lord, they could hardly obey the orders.
In this case, Tokugawa Hideyasu could only choose to keep them in the lower president, and let them be his eyes and ears by Ishida Mitsunari's side, monitoring Ishida's every move. At the same time, these local forces were used to interfere with Ishida Mitsunari's administration and prevent the Ishida clan from becoming stronger. After all, he was already surrounded by strong enemies, and he didn't want to raise a rival force in his old territory.
After seeing Tokugawa Hideyasu's attitude, Hideho could somewhat guess his intentions. Of course, Hideho didn't want Ishida Mitsunari to become bigger, but trying his best to clean up and suppress the Tokugawa clan's power in the old domain was the more urgent task at present.
To this end, Hideho sent Goto Kiji to accompany Tokugawa Hideyasu to Yuki, and the former summoned the Tokugawa and Ishida families in the name of Hideho's envoy to coordinate the matter. Due to Hidebo's prestige and face, the three parties finally reached an agreement: except for those who were willing to submit to the Ishida clan, the remaining wave moved to Hitachi for resettlement, and the other wave moved to the east of Soma and Teganuma in Inaba-gun, where Shimoso and Hitachi meet, and Hidebo sent an acting official to manage it, pay taxes to the Ishida clan on time, and nominally remain under the jurisdiction of the Ishida clan, and the Tokugawa clan must not intervene, and will be resettled when the time is ripe.
For this result, the three parties are satisfied, and the New Year is approaching, Tokugawa Hideyasu is not willing to continue to entangle with Ishida Mitsunari for this matter, and Hideho can be regarded as a mediator, and he can't refute his face, and finally the three parties reached an agreement.
For Ishida Mitsunari, it is of great significance that the former retainers of the Tokugawa clan, who had been scattered in the eleven prefectures, can be divided and disintegrated and compressed into half of Soma and Inaba prefectures, and the tax burden will not be collected and tightened, and the obstacles to the administration of the whole government will be cleared.
For Tokugawa Hideyasu, even though his power in the country has been greatly weakened, he still has some reservations, and most of the wealthy families and lands left in the lower head are stubborn and unruly guys, these guys are pampered and arrogant on weekdays, and they are also offended by Tokugawa Hideyasu from time to time, even if they are willing to move to Changlu, they dare not take it in. Leaving them in the next general manager can be regarded as a trouble.
For Hidebo, the biggest advantage was that a wedge was planted in Shimosoku, with Soma and Inaba located in the eastern part of Shimoso, Makabe Yoshigan's Makabe gun located in the middle of Hitachi, and the "Southern 33 Pavilions" located in the southern part of Hitachi.
