"The family alone is 1.8 million stones, could it be that the other forces combined are only half of the Omi faction?" Komiyayama Haruka's eyes widened, not wanting to believe Fujido Takatora's inference at all. Free eBook download

"Don't you believe it?" Fujitang Gaohu knew that it would be this result, but he was not surprised, and said respectfully: "Then let me do the math for you." ”

"So far, the forces that can firmly support the family can be roughly divided into two parts, the first part is the daimyo of the Taiko's lineage, that is, the Owari faction, but you should be careful, the Owari faction referred to below is not the whole of the Toyotomi faction, but the Toyotomi daimyo who is firmly on the side of the family, here let's call it the 'Toyotomi lineage Yamato faction', the main members are Kato chief accountant Kiyomasa Higo Kumamoto 250,000 koku, Fukushima attendant Masanori Ueno Minowa 280,000 koku, Ikeda Senator Teruma Ueno Tatebayashi 220,000 koku, Kato Samasuke Yoshima Iyomatomachi 100,000 koku, Tanaka Hyobu Yoshimasa Mikawa Okazaki 57,000 koku, Nakamura Shikibu Ichi's Suruga Hadafu 140,000 koku, Yamauchi Tsushima Shouyi Toyo Enoe Kakegawa 60,000 koku, plus some scattered small daimyos, should be 1.5 million; And there are also some daimyos, who are ostensibly Toyotomi lineage, but in fact they have long since fallen to Edo, and this part of the power is called the 'Toyotomi lineage Edo faction', including Kuroda Kai Mashocho Maseimatakeke 120,000 koku, Hori attendant Hideji Echigo Chunri Mountain 450,000 koku, Mori attendant Tadamasa Mino Kanayama 70,000 koku, Hosokawa Yusai father and son Tango, Shimo total 220,000 koku and other powerful daimyos, the total Chiyuki should also have 1 million koku; There is also a small group of daimyo who seem to support Hideyori but remain impartial and neutral, which can be called the 'Toyotomi lineage Osaka faction', mainly the Awa country's Wasuka father and son and Harima's Kinoshita clan, this part of the power is no more than 500,000 at most, which can be ignored. ”

"Say so. As far as the backing of the Toyotomi daimyo is concerned. The main family and the Edo Uchifu can be said to be evenly divided? Komiyayama asked.

Fujitang Gaohu nodded: "To be exact." It can still have a slight advantage. As for the second supporting force of the family, it is the daimyo who has an in-law relationship with the family, and this force is also poor in potential.

First of all, it is the father of Mrs. Komahime. Yoshimitsu, the most acolyte who sits on 320,000 stone of Dewa; Secondly, it is the righteous brother of the lord, and it is also the gamo family who is engaged to the young lord of Yukichiyo, although he has suffered a cut. However, it is still a daimyo with 230,000 koku in Shinano and Shinano, which should not be underestimated; The third force is the home family of Lady Sakurahime, the Asano family who owns the Kai country, and the status of 240,000 Zhixing plus one of the five commissioners, whether it is a military advisor or a political leader, can help the family; In the end, it was the brother-in-law of the lord, the prime minister of Nagato's 160,000 stones, Mori Hidemoto, but please forgive the minister for being blunt and include him in it. I'm afraid something is wrong. ”

Hideho nodded: "I understand what you mean, Hidemoto is a member of the Maori family after all." Besides, it is indeed difficult to absorb him in the Western Kingdom, so you can ignore these for the time being, and just add up the other three, that is, 800,000 stones, right? ”

"That's right, if you consider the attraction and deterrence of these three families to the surrounding daimyos, it should also reach 1.2 million, plus the 1.5 million of the 'Toyotomi lineage Yamato faction' just mentioned, and the 1.8 million of the main family, there should be 4.5 million Zhixing who can be accurately controlled in the end." Fujitang Gaohu's words were conclusive, and he couldn't be questioned by everyone at all, and even Xiubao thought it was true, nodding his head frequently and praising it.

"What about the Tokugawa Inner House, according to your calculations, how many forces can the Inner Government mobilize?" Hideho asked.

I saw Fujitang Gaohu stretch out four fingers and said solemnly: "At most, four million, this is still a joint situation with the family, if you deal with the Ministry of Governance single-handedly, and the family does not participate, it will never exceed three million." ”

Xiubao pondered for a moment, and said with a slight bow: "This is why the main family wants to join forces with the Tokugawa family, right?" The Ministry of Governance can mobilize five or six million, the family can mobilize four and a half million, the Inner Government can mobilize four million, plus the two million hidden by the Taige, the total is only fifteen and half million, and the total height of the whole stone is 18 million, which is an extra 2.5 million..."

"The extra 2.5 million are the outward daimyo who watched the fire from the other side or acted on the opportunity, among which the 580,000 koku of the Date family in Iwaideyama in Oshu, the 600,000 koku of the Shimazu family in Satsuma Kagoshima, and the 830,000 koku of the Maeda family in Kaga Kanazawa are the main ones, and whichever side they fall to will be fatal to the other two."

"It's not easy to deal with." Hideho couldn't help but sigh and sighed, "Date Masamune's skin is higher than the sky and thicker than the earth, and you can see it from the Odawara expedition and Kasai Osaki back then, this person is determined to be in the world, and it may be difficult to make him obey his own family." ”

"Comparatively speaking, the Shimazu family is much easier to deal with." Fujido Takatora suggested, "The Shimazu family dreams of unifying Kyushu, and the queen of the family can use Ri to win him over from a country, so there must be no trouble, and the minister and Shimazu Yoshihiro still have some friendship, if the lord is at ease, he can let the minister go to adjust." ”

Hideho waved his hand and said disapprerovingly: "It's necessary to woo, but there's no need to rush for a while, Ri Xiang is also a big country, how can he just give it, this matter will be put aside for the time being, the most important thing at present is to find a way to get the trust and support of Kaga Daiyan, after all, he is the horn sè whose reputation is second only to the inner house." ”

"The minister understands," replied with a bow, "since you have decided to unite with the Inner Government, should you take some necessary action to show favor to him?" ”

"That's natural, but I just had a conflict with the inner government over the funeral, so in order to avoid gossip, let's be quiet during this time." After speaking, Xiubao stood up, looked around, looked at the complicated expressions on everyone's faces, and said resolutely: "You are all important ministers on the basis of this family, and the plan set by RI today is not only the basis for the future action of RI, but also the key to the rise and fall of the family. ”

"Roar!" The retainers of the heavy family immediately bowed down, and shouted in unison with all their strength: "The ministers must obey the orders of the Lord, in order to ensure the longevity of the family's martial arts, go to the soup and fight the fire, and do not give up!" ”

While Hidebo and the others were passionately discussing their future strategies, Fushimi Tokugawa Ieyasuyashiki, the Edo-Uchifu, the head of the five elders, was entertaining a distinguished guest from Iga with good wine and tea.

"Mamoru Iga, the old man listened to Matsukura-sama, the author of "Matsukura-form", Matsukura Shigemasa said that three years ago you moved the castle from Ueno to the blessed land where he was, I don't know why?" In the midst of the staggering, Tokugawa Ieyasu smiled and asked the head of the Tsutsui family, who was 200,000 yuan tall but only 120,000 yuan.

Since being driven to Fukuchi Castle by Hidebo, this fake monk has always been haunted, and now Tokugawa Ieyasu brings up the old things again, he is ashamed and indignant, and complains without concealment: "I can't hide it, this is all the blessing of His Royal Highness Tuoyoufu, at the beginning, in the name of building roads, he forcibly built Wae Castle near Ueno Castle, and then built five castles in West Iga, and took three-quarters of the territory of Iga alive. He had no choice but to retreat to the blessed city to the east. ”

"That's right," Tokugawa Ieyasu wiped his beard, nodded sympathetically at first, and then said kindly: "Iga Mamoru said, the old man empathizes, and now there is a plan to help you get Iga back, I wonder if Your Excellency is willing to hear it?" "To be continued.
