Chapter 435: The Third Force (Part II)

At this stage, Hideho divides the daimyo (retainers) under his command into the following three categories according to factors such as kinship, ability, and surrender:

One is the retainers who served the Yamato Toyotomi clan before Hidenaga's death, and they are undoubtedly genealogy, and after the war, they became the so-called genealogy daimyō, and their status is relatively high on the surface, but as for the actual status and degree of attention, that is, the benevolent and the wise see the wise.

The second is the Daimyo and wealthy families who returned to Shun before Hideyoshi was alive and Hidebo, the most famous of which are several wealthy families who performed brilliantly in the "Junyuan Trinity", in addition to the Arima Toyoshi clan, Ashihari Yoshisen and Nishio Toshimi also received rich rewards, the former was transferred from Suruga to Echizen Ono, and Zhiyuki was sealed from 50,000 stone to 120,000 stone; The latter was transferred from Mikawa to Mutsu Nakamura, and Zhiyuki was sealed from 44,000 stone to 90,000 stone. Compared to a few years ago, when there were only a few thousand stone Zhixing, the treatment now is enough for them to be grateful to Xiubao. And Hideho was naturally willing to use these daimyo who had surrendered to him earlier to manage the hiding place and monitor the outside, after all, the ability of most of the genealogy retainers was really not flattering.

The third is that after Hideho took office, he saw the daimyo who surrendered to Hideho between the Uesugi clan's troops, and it should be noted here that it was surrender, such as Oda Hidenobu and Sanada Masayuki These daimyo are only in a similar cooperative relationship with Hideho, not complete subordination, as for whether they bowed down to the vassals after the war, it is another matter, at that time they still maintained a certain reciprocal relationship with Hideho, so they cannot be counted as daimyo under Hidebo.

This period of time was only two years, although there were fewer daimyo in Guishun, but there were still some of them, and they could be regarded as catching the last train, such as Kawajiri Hidecho, the lord of Naoki Castle (after the war, he took the initiative to ask for "Wang Tu Bong" and replaced the Mori clan as a retainer of Hideho to become the acting official of the Higashi Mino region such as Iwamura), Otawara Masaki, the lord of Otawara Castle (from 7,000 koku to 23,000 koku, the second largest force in Shimono), and the lord of Sayama Castle, Hojo Clan Mori (49,000 koku in Sagamia Ashigara and Taoaya Prefectures, Kanto famous families have achieved the revival of the imperial family) and the like were all on the side of Hideho during this period, although they could not get hundreds of thousands of rewards like the first two categories, but they also realized their long-cherished wishes, so they were willing to become the "eyes" of Xiu Bao inserted in the side of the local heroes. Due to the small number of such daimyos, as Hidebo's prestige and strength gradually established and spread throughout the country, they were in urgent need of employment, so their status and treatment within the center and the Toyotomi clan were close to those of the second type of daimyos, and many of them later became heavyweights at the elder level.

As for the "Eight Yamato Ministers", although some were born in the first and some were born in the second type of daimyo, they were all outstanding and not comparable to other retainers, so they were above the above three categories in terms of treatment, status and strength, and they were the retainers that Hideho relied on the most, and the other retainers were not jealous of this and were convinced.

In addition, Hideho also made a very important decision, that is, to persuade Yodohime, Hideyori and others to accept the fact that Toyotomi Hideji's lineage has not been broken, and to allow Miyoshi Hidebo to reuse the Toyotomi surname and the Miao character of Yushiba, and finally be called Toyotomi Hidebo openly. At the same time, Hideho also gave him a total of 200,000 koku from Owari's Aichi, Kasugai, and northern Chita, and settled in Nagoya Castle as the future domain of the Shuji lineage, and the "Owari Toyotomi clan" appeared on the stage of history as the third force in addition to the Toyotomi clan and the Yamato Toyotomi clan. Although the world sees it as a subsidiary of the Yamato Toyotomi clan, the successive lords seem to have no care about it, after all, if there is no hidebo, they can't even enter the gate of the Toyotomi clan, and now there is a fertile land in Owari and one of the "three Toyotomi", what more can a husband ask for?

As for Toyotomi Hidebo's brother-in-law, Shinji Sato, because of his meritorious service in being in charge of east-west communication during the Battle of Hibara, he finally broke away from the Masuda clan and became the daimyo of Kaga (Matsuoka) with 20,000 stones, which can be regarded as a little reward for Sato being responsible for protecting Toyotomi Hidebo.

The last thing to talk about is the pair of cousins Hideho and Hideyori.

Before the war, Hidebo owned nearly 2 million Ishizhiyuki, mainly Yamato, Ise, Kii, and Minami Omi, and was the third largest force after Tokugawa Ieyasu and Toyotomi clans.

After this battle, with the merit of "rebuilding the Toyotomi clan", the territory naturally increased by leaps and bounds. In addition to the above-mentioned places, he also obtained the full command of the eight countries of Suruga, Izu, Chikuzen, Iga, Hida, Sado, Iki, and Tsushima, as well as Kita-Owari, Higashi-Mikawa, Nishi-Enoe, Higashi-Iwami, Higashi-Mino, and most of Musashi, as well as parts of Shimono, Hizen, Kaga, and other countries, with a total of 5.38 million koku, accounting for nearly one-third of the country's ishigaka (more than 1,800,000 koku) at that time, and was the largest force in the country at that time.

Some people suspect that Yodohime really gave such a huge territory to Hideho under duress, but this is not the case, or that the vast majority of Hideho's sealed territories do not need to be discussed too much with Yodohime. For example, the Kanto region such as Musashi and Shimono, which occupy the majority of the country, is the land recaptured from the traitor Tokugawa clan, and the Chikuzen country was vacated after Kobayakawa Hideaki transferred the Maori homeland, and it was never the domain of the Toyotomi clan, and it was reasonable and reasonable to transfer it to Hideho, and he was probably the same in Hida, Sado, Iwami, and Mino.

If you really want to say that it is a reward from the Toyotomi family, it is the land of Suruga, Higashimikawa, and Nishienoe in Tokaido, which is about 520,000 koku high. But as we all know, as early as after the "Junyuan Trinity", Hideyoshi turned a blind eye to these places and let the deputy officials appointed by Hidebo manage them, and after Hideyoshi's death, Hidebo strengthened his dominance, so that the deputy officials sent by Osaka Castle could not set foot at all. Giving this place to Hideho is just a favor, and for the Daimyo of the Toyotomi family who made the first contribution, 500,000 stone seals are really not much.

In addition to the territories of the clan and the rebels, some of the Hideho territories were from and other regions. For example, in order to strengthen his control over Kinai, he moved the capital of the small daimyo of Omi to other places, and in the name of dividing the concubine, he pre-designated the 360,000 stone of Nishi-Omi (Sakamoto) as the domain of the eldest son, Yukichiyo (born to Komaghime). In order to avoid gossip, he also took out 357,000 koku from Minami Ise from his direct domain as the domain of his third son, Matsu Chiyo (born to Sakurahime), and after the two of them were subdued, they were officially granted a fief.

As for Toyotomi Hideyori, who once owned 1.98 million koku, the territory naturally shrank greatly, not only in the mines and ports all over the country were "managed" by Hideho, but even the hidden places were divided in the name of "rewarding meritorious officials", and in the end, only 1,020,000 koku remained in the four provinces of Yamashiro, Hanoi, Izumi, and Settsu, barely maintaining more than one million koku. At first, Yodohime did not agree to reward the daimyo with the hidden land, but Hideho thought that "the confiscation of the rebels' territory as a reward instead of taking his own territory may make people think that it is just a flower offering to the Buddha, and it will be difficult for the generals to appreciate the kindness of the Toyotomi clan", which made Yodohime nod his head and agree. Although it is still the second largest force in the country, the gap with Hideho has completely widened, and Hideho's momentum is no worse than that of Tokugawa Ieyasu.

So far, the national daimyo has completed a new round of disposal, among which the daimyo of more than 100,000 stone are as follows:
