Chapter 29 Chapter 29: Brand new territory

Ishida Mitsunari is about to go to the capital from Otsu, the cloud of war covering the world is gradually dissipating, and the clear sky appears again. History is complex yet simple.In a sense, the Battle of Sekigahara can be described as the end of the battle between Tokugawa Ieyasu and Hashiba Hideyoshi, which began with the battle of Komaki in the twelfth year of Tensho.Ieyasu, who had just passed Buhuo back then, is now in his sixtieth birthday.In the past ten years, Ieyasu and Hideyoshi seem to be humble and hand in hand with each other, but secretly they are more patient than their wits and strive for strength and support.In the end, the hatchback finally faced off in Sekihara.Hideyoshi has passed away, but Hideyoshi's deep-rooted "distrust" of Ieyasu has been inherited by Misunari and instilled in the Western Army through him.

Hideyoshi is by no means tolerant of Ieyasu.All the heroes in the world rise together, but Ieyasu alone cannot conquer.When Hideyoshi found that he could not subdue his powerful opponent, he betrothed his younger sister to Ieyasu and sent his biological mother as a hostage in exchange for Ieyasu's admission to Beijing.Later, when Ieyasu was transferred from Jun, Yuan, and Kanto to Kanto, Hideyoshi seemed to have won, but he didn't feel the slightest peace of mind.The evidence is that when Ieyasu moved to Kanto, he immediately appointed the Nakamura-style minister who was the best at defense in the world to Suruga to block Ieyasu's westward advance. , Gifu and other places are filled with cronies.

Not only on the Tōkaidō line, but also on the Zhongshan Road, Hideyoshi transferred the Senshi Quanbingwei to Xiaomoro in Xinzhou, and asked him to guard the danger of the water.He also recruited Sanada Yasuo and his son, and set up heavy defenses at Kawanakajima, Kiso and other important passes to prevent Ieyasu from advancing westward.The defense is so strong that it can be said to be foolproof. Later, Hideyoshi transferred Gamo to Aizu.Soon, because Hideyuki, the son of Ujigo, became Ieyasu's son-in-law, Hideyoshi had to confer Uesugi Kagekatsu to Aizu, and transferred Horikutaro to Uesugi's old collar Echigo.All of this was because he was afraid of Jiakang.

Hideyoshi's fear of Ieyasu has become a chronic illness, but everything is for the realization of his long-cherished wish of "world peace".Therefore, it is not surprising that Hideyoshi's fear and distrust of Ieyasu were inherited intact by his closest favorite, Ishida Mitsunari. Having been by Hideyoshi's side for many years, Sancheng unconsciously noticed the resentment and fear hidden in Hideyoshi's heart, but he did not understand all this as Hideyoshi's influence, but as his own foresight.His eyes were blinded by this, and he regarded all of Ieyasu's actions as a conspiracy against the Toyotomi family.Sancheng inherited Hideyoshi's shortcomings, and Ieyasu absorbed Hideyoshi's strengths.The lessons hidden in it are really thought-provoking.Sancheng is by no means a mediocre person, but he is only loyal to Toyotomi.Comparing what he and Ieyasu have learned from Hideyoshi, you will find that there is a world of difference.The battle of Sekigahara was a duel between them.

The trend of the world, divided for a long time, must be united, and the mutual distrust and hatred between people are just small waves in the long river of history.Even if Sancheng's intelligence and strategy are far superior to Ieyasu's, he may not be able to stop the tide of history.Almost all the chess pieces that Hideyoshi set up in order to contain Ieyasu went to Ieyasu.All the chess pieces merged with Ieyasu in the blink of an eye.The long river washed away Gifu, Ogaki, Sawayama, and Tsuruga, and is now rolling from Otsu to Keizan.In this way, the world's trends will ebb and flow, and the old and new trends will inevitably reverse their positions.

Tokugawa Hidetada of Nakasendo encountered decent resistance on the way only from Sanada Masayuki of Ueda. However, on September 20th of the fifth year of Keicho, Hidetada arrived in Omi Kusatsu smoothly and joined forces with Ieyasu's army. There are rumors in the world that Ieyasu was furious because Xiuzhong failed to catch up with Sekihara.Among Hidetada's men, apart from the elites such as Kanbara Yasumasa, the seasoned Honda Masanobu also went with the army.Although Masanobu made a serious apology, saying that he missed the fighter plane due to repeated encounters with floods on the way, but in fact, this matter was discussed with Ieyasu from the very beginning.Ieyasu kept his strength quietly, and changed the general trend of the world with the help of Toyotomi's survivors.

On the same day, Ieyasu sent Ono Jichang, who had joined the Eastern Army, to Osaka to report the results of the battle to Mrs. Yodo and Hideyori. "I have seen the top of the mountain." Ieyasu said to himself, convinced that he had overcome the difficulty.He wrote a letter to Mrs. Dian, and instructed the Chief Zhi: "You tell Mrs. Dian: this incident was initiated by Sancheng and Huiqiong under the guise of Shaojun's order, and Shaojun has nothing to do with it. Mrs. Dian deeply understands it. Living in the inner court, it is even more impossible to know about it. Ieyasu has no second thoughts about the Toyotomi family, please rest assured, Madam Yodo." The words made Ohno Osamu's eyes turn red, and this letter was sincere and sincere, without a trace of hypocrisy.

On September 25th, Ono Zhichang returned to Otsu with Mrs. Yodo and Hideyori's envoys.It is not difficult to imagine that after hearing Jiakang's oral message, Mrs. Dian, mother and son must be very happy.Ieyasu doesn't want to leave yet, he wants to concentrate on conceiving a new territory. Dajin, Ieyasu Shuaiying, urgent reports and envoys from all over the country came in an endless stream.Since Uesugi Kagekatsu was later challenged by the Date clan and the Mogami clan, in order to meet the challenge, he could only confront Yuki Hideyasu instead of fighting with him.But now, Toyokoji's acceptance frequently speaks to him, advising him to seek peace with Yuuki Hideyasu.

In Kyushu, Rushui, the father of Kuroda Nagamasa, saw this excellent opportunity, and immediately poured out his life savings to recruit ronin, and even extended his hand to Bungo, Chikuzen, and Chikugo.For this reason, he also wrote a letter to Todo Takatora, who is deeply trusted by Ieyasu: The land acquired this time is intended to be a family property, please forgive me.The dog has a fief above. Although I have retired, I have to live and eat, so please take care of me.I have been friends with adults for many years, but for today... Even Rushui is so blatant, and Kato Kiyomasa, who borders on Konishi's fiefdom, will not be idle, and he is also wantonly devouring Xiaonishi's territory.

In the northern country, Maeda Toshinaga pressed on with the remnants of the Western Army.Hosokawa Tadake's father Yusai, even though he was sixty-seven years old, fought alone to keep the Hosokawa family's territory in Tango. Changshu Zhengjia and his younger brother Iga Shou, who fled back to Shuikou City from Nangong Mountain, had no way out, and Zhengjia finally committed suicide on September 30.As a 30% allied force, Tachibana Muneshige, who came from Yanagawa, Kyushu, saw that Mori Terumoto and Masuda Nagamori had no intention of defending Otsu, so he withdrew without saying a word.

Only Shimadzu Yoshihiro, who fought all the way from Sekigahara to Ise, finally fled back to Osaka alone, and then withdrew to the territory of Satsuma by boat.Although there is no trace of Ukita Hideo's family, everything is a foregone conclusion. Seeing that the general situation has been decided, the officials and wealthy businessmen in Beijing and Osaka sent people to Dajin to "congratulate the great victory".Ieyasu has been staying in Otsu to concentrate on studying the news, and he is thinking about the best way to deal with the aftermath.If possible, he didn't want to shed a drop of blood in Osaka. On September 20, Ieyasu ordered people to demolish all the residences of the generals of the Fushimi Castle West Army. On the 22nd, Ieyasu ordered Masanori Fukushima, Terumasa Ikeda, Yukinaga Asano, Takatora Todo, and Toyo Arima to go to Kuzuha to contain Osaka.There is only one purpose, and that is to take a cold look at Terumoto Mori, who is in Saiyuan, Osaka, and his attitude is not yet clear. Knowing that the generals of the Eastern Army were approaching Kazuha, Terumoto hurriedly sent an affidavit to Ii Naomasa, Honda Tadakatsu, Fukushima Masanori, Kuroda Nagamasa and others: "I will withdraw from Xiyuan to show that I have no two-hearted intentions. .” Knowing that Terumoto submitted the affidavit, Ieyasu ordered the generals Fukushima, Ikeda, Asano, Kuroda, and Fujido to guard Xiyuan strictly. The news that Mori Terumoto withdrew from Osaka Castle West Garden and returned to Kizu reached Otsu on the evening of the 25th.Ieyasu thought about it carefully, his expression relaxed, and he ordered the maid to rub his waist.Beside him, apart from Honda Masakami, Okae Yuki, Itasaka Busai, and others, Toyama Minbu, Dr. Nagai Ukin, Jooribe Masa, and others stood beside him with uncontrollable joy.Just now, they had a fierce quarrel over whether Mori Terumoto would hand over to Osaka Castle. Although 30% was the mastermind who provoked the Sekihara War, 30% had no strength.The central figure who allowed the Western Army to gather was Mori Terumoto.It was Huiyuan's ignorance and inability to recognize the general trend that caused this incident. This is an indisputable fact.If Huiyuan is still dull, he will never quit Xiyuan voluntarily.Mori Terumoto possesses financial and military power comparable to Tokugawa.Although there are some of his retainers who are as devoted to the Eastern Army as Hiroka Yoshikawa and Hirotoshi Fukuhara, many of them are still in collusion with Sancheng.Therefore, Ieyasu will never let him go easily.Knowing this, he will of course hide in Daban City, relying on Xiu to command the princes.It doesn't matter whether you fight or not, if you hide in the city and don't come out to negotiate, what else is there to talk about! But another opinion is quite the opposite.Because Maori is communicating with Ii Naomasa, Honda Tadakatsu, Kuroda Nagamasa, and Fukushima Masanori through Yoshikawa, Fukuhara and others. Yoshikawa Hiroka and Fukuhara Hirotoshi said: "Master Maori was completely unaware of this incident, and was deceived by Huiqiong's bald donkey. As long as the inner government promises to preserve the territory of the Maori family, we will definitely persuade my lord to never Let him be the enemy of the inner government." In the decisive battle of Sekihara, neither Yoshikawa nor Fukuhara used swords or guns, and they will definitely try to get Huiyuan to evacuate Osaka Castle peacefully. Ieyasu was noncommittal.But no matter where Hui Yuan went, he wasn't worried.Under his command, in addition to the veteran general Toyotomi, who has been victorious and has greatly boosted his morale, there is also Hidetaka's troops who are unscathed.The victory of Sekigahara was won by the old general of Toyotomi alone. Rao, the Mori family has three heads and six arms, and dare to be an enemy of Ieyasu? "It would be nice for Terumoto to be like Yoshikawa." Ieyasu took off his coat, wearing only a small sleeve, and while letting the two maids rub his waist, he looked at Honda Masamune and said, "Massune, do you think Hui Qiong and Hui Who is more capable?" Outside, the autumn rain is quietly falling, and the house is extremely quiet.Everyone's eyes fell on Zhengchun at the same time.Honda Zhengchun glanced at all the people in the room, and replied: "This...it's really hard to tell which is the top and which is the bottom." "Hui Yuan is the more idiot." Seeing Ieyasu's disdain, Zhengchun asked in bewilderment: "Is there really such a big difference between them?" "That's right. One is a monk with a net worth of only 70,000 to 80,000 shi, and the other is a famous person with a salary of 1.2 million shi. Think about it, such a big name was fooled by a monk. There are still people in the world Such an asshole?" "Your Excellency is wise, they are indeed different." "The difference is huge. Even I can't trust such a stupid person. If he is a little careless, he may be deceived by someone." Zhengchun hastily swept around everyone present.It seems that Huiyuan will not be spared - Masamune sees Ieyasu's firm determination.Regardless of Terumoto Mori or Hiroshi Yoshikawa's family, Ieyasu did not give an affidavit because they retreated from Xiyuan. Everything was dredged by Kuroda Nagamasa, Fukushima Masanori, Ii Naomasa and Honda Tadakatsu.Huiyuan retreated from Xiyuan, he must have thought that Ieyasu would not punish him, how ridiculous! "Zhengchun, during the Komaki battle, my situation is very similar to Huiyuan's situation this time." "what?" "At that time, didn't I also help Nobunaga's orphan, Nobuo, to fight the late Taiko?" "But Huiyuan supports the young and ignorant Mr. Xiulai." "Therefore, he must beat me even more. Even if he can't win, he can draw with me, otherwise, he will lose face." "My lord is wise." "But things are far from that simple. Do you understand? Once I win, all the difficulties encountered by the Taige will be forced on me. I have the power to be an enemy of the Taige, so the new territory of the Taige It can never be established. So, even his old mother was handed over to me as a hostage." Ieyasu turned his back to the maid and continued, "If Huiyuan really wants to strengthen himself, he must use his brain. No matter how brave a person is, If you don't use your brain, you will be a reckless man. Jing Sheng is not much better, because he has a self-righteous person under his command, he dares to play with fire." After hearing Ieyasu's words, everyone in the seat nodded heartily.Ieyasu couldn't understand what he was thinking. "Depart early tomorrow morning, stay in Diancheng for one night, and stay in Xiyuan on the 27th. We will talk about other things later..." Not long after the order was finished, Jiakang fell into a sound sleep.He can enter Osaka City without bloodshed, and he can finally sleep peacefully. In the early morning of the next day, Ieyasu set off from Otsu by chariot.Ishida Mitsunari, Konishi Xingchang, Hui Qiong and others were also escorted to Osaka with the team.These criminals were supposed to be escorted to Beijing by Ohei Shinchang, the director of the capital office, but because Xinchang had something to do with him, Ieyasu ordered Shibata Sakon and Matsudaira Road Shouji to come to meet them.The prisoners wear shackles, put them in prison cars, parade them in the streets of Osaka and Sakai Port, and then hand them over to Nobumasa Okping. After leaving Otsu, Ieyasu suddenly seemed to be a different person.In the past, no matter who was around him, he was always very easy-going and joking with him, but today he ordered that from now on, his subordinates are not allowed to speak directly to him, and that he must set up a memorial service to spread the word; Five people, Shaosuke, Jooribe Masa, Yamaguchi Kanbei, Nagai Ukin, and Nishio Okushou, performed the memorial.From then on, Jiakang would not receive any interviews without the word of these five people. What are adults thinking?Only Honda Zhengchun vaguely noticed something, and the rest were at a loss. "It should have been like this long ago. My lord used to be the elder of Lord Taige, but it's different now." "Yeah, this time I entered the city as a member of the world." "Could it be that your lord wants to move Mr. Xiulai to Erdao City and live in this city?" People talked about it, but they didn't know Ieyasu's true meaning after all. On September 26, Jiakang stayed in Diancheng.On the twenty-seventh day, Ieyasu entered Osaka City proudly with his entourage. After entering the city, he first paid homage to Hideyori's mother and son, and then settled in Xiyuan.While Jiakang lived in Xiyuan, Xiuzhong lived in Erdaocheng. When I heard that Jiakang entered the city, people rushed to congratulate him.Ieyasu was the first to welcome the emissary in Xiyuan.The imperial envoy congratulated: "The world is peaceful, and all people are safe and peaceful..." How much comfort Ieyasu's entering the city brought to the common people in the world. From the words of the imperial envoy, it is not difficult for people to imagine the comfort of the world.Regarding the situation on that day, Ota Ushiichi's "King Cho Ji" records: 〖The Holy One sent an envoy, saying that he was deeply moved, and immediately wanted to appoint the public as the general who conquered the barbarians.Regents, ministers, temples, cities, capitals, Nara, Sakai, and nobles from the five bases all rushed to congratulate them with gold and silver treasures, which are innumerable.The memorial service is in line... Present them for review one by one, and then pack them carefully.The author's status is humble, and it was difficult to see the grand occasion...〗 It was in February of the eighth year of Keicho that Ieyasu was officially appointed as the Great General of Conquering Barbarians, but now, he has been highly praised by the Emperor. In Ieyasu's eyes, winning the war is far from enough, and more importantly, managing the world.Rewards and punishments, as well as territorial division, all kinds of problems will come one after another, and if you are not careful, there is a high possibility of another dispute.The commander-in-chief who commanded a large army in the Sekigahara War must now become an authority who enforces orders and prohibits, and cannot let anyone have the slightest objection to the new territory... In the eyes of the world, all this may be called a legend.The departure from Edo was on the first day of September. At that time, Ieyasu faced enemies on two fronts, and even many generals under his command used dice to predict their future.However, when Ieyasu entered Osaka Castle again in less than a month, the overall situation of the world had been decided.Is this a miracle, or luck? For Ieyasu, all of this is nothing more than a matter of course and the result of careful calculations. Therefore, in the future, he will continue to move forward according to the entrustment of the gods and Buddhas.There is only one goal, which is to "put an end to war."The prosperity of the Tokugawa clan and the attachment of the generals are nothing but the inevitable result of achieving the goal. Ieyasu once thought deeply about why the victory of the Yuankou War eventually led to the disintegration of the Kamakura Shogunate. At that time, Japan was unanimously foreign.People try their best, make the best use of things, and fight against Kublai Khan's invasion with all their strength.All the monasteries prayed for victory together, and even Hojo Tokimune came to the battlefield in person, and Emperor Kameyama also dedicated his own handwriting to the Eight Tombs to pray for victory.The government and the opposition fought together and finally won.But not long after, this victory led to the disintegration of the shogunate. Why?After the death of Hojo Tokimune, the shogunate lost its prestige.In order to resist the war, the common people have fallen into extreme poverty.But in the face of the great enemy, the people of the world can unite as one, save food and clothing to meet the needs of the battle.However, after victory, the poverty of life will directly breed dissatisfaction, fierce human feelings, and constant resentment. "I waited for such a bloody battle, but now I still suffer!" "Without us, how can we win?" Monasteries, samurai, daimyo, and commoners are all disaffected.However, the shogunate lacked the means to deal with this severe situation, and failed to effectively appease the poor and save the people.Poverty after victory is different from poverty during war and after defeat.The world is full of resentment and anger, how can the world be peaceful?For this matter, Ieyasu is unforgettable, so at this moment he is thinking about it, only wanting to properly arrange the post-war affairs. Ieyasu met the generals assembled in Osaka one by one. On September 30, he called Ii Naomasa, Honda Tadakatsu, and Kanbara Yasomasa to issue the first order: "Wait for the three of you to sign on it. Hand it over to Fukushima and Kuroda." The three of them glanced at the content, their expressions changed drastically, they looked at each other, dumbfounded, speechless.The order was written by Yubi, and after the three signed it, it could be handed over directly to Fukushima Masanori and Kuroda Nagamasa, and the date of signing "September 30" was written. 〖1. Because I want to deal with Satsuma affairs, I hope to welcome Zhong Nayan (Xiuzhong) into Hiroshima City. This is what Taiko ordered before his death. The cities along the way must be strictly guarded. Second, all the family elders must send hostages. 3. Mori Terumoto's wife moved to the main house. 4. Huiyuan himself should rush to the Satsuma formation. 5. Immediately return the hostages of the generals who marched westward this time. After the above order is executed, you can meet with Mao Li Toshichiro Hideo. September 30th of the fifth year of Qingchang〗 This is the order issued by Ieyasu to Masanori Fukushima and Nagamasa Kuroda, who had been mediating between Hidemoto Mori and the Eastern Army before. It was jointly signed by three important Tokugawa officials, Naomasa Ii, Tadakatsu Honda, and Yasomasa Kanbara.But for both Jing Yi and Honda, this is a surprising problem.How will Fukushima Masamori and Kuroda Nagamasa react when they see this order? "How can there be such a stupid thing? Isn't the inner government playing tricks on us?" They will be furious.Nagamasa and Zheng Ze must have made an agreement with the Mori family, not to move the Mori family's territory, and not to punish the Mori family, so Hui Yuan obediently handed over the Osaka Castle. But Ieyasu did not express his position on this matter, he did not submit any affidavit, and it was Jing Yi and Honda Tadakatsu who were negotiating.However, Ieyasu knew everything about how Ii and Honda negotiated with Mori's Yoshikawa, Fukuhara and others through Kuroda and Fukushima.However, looking at the order in front of him, Ieyasu seemed to be ignorant of the incident. "No matter what your lord's considerations are, this order must not be handed over to Fukushima and Kuroda, otherwise they will be disgraced." After a long hesitation, the elder Zhongsheng finally spoke. As soon as he finished speaking, Ieyasu immediately asked back: "Oh, do you think that this war is only for Fukushima and Kuroda to earn enough face?" "No, I don't mean that..." "Then send the order down. Huiyuan is the mastermind who summoned the Western Army and issued a message to the world. He is the mastermind." Tadakatsu was speechless immediately, and looked at Naomasa Ii.Ieyasu's reasons are high-sounding, but Mori did not actually participate in the battle of Sekigahara, and this time he obediently withdrew from Xiyuan. Seeing that Tadakatsu was speechless, Ii Naomasa had no choice but to stand up and say a few words: "Terumoto was indeed inappropriate, but it was Fukutori and Kuroda who tried their best to persuade him not to join the war and let him evacuate from Xiyuan. Sir, please think again and take care of the face of the two of you." Ieyasu pondered.Jing Yi's words are not unreasonable, and Jing Yi also admitted that Terumoto was wrong, but since Fukushima Masanori and Kuroda Nagamasa did negotiate with him on the premise that Ieyasu would not be detrimental to Mori, so it should be given to the two no matter what. face.He then said, "Zhizheng, do you think I haven't thought about these two people?" "This……" "This way of handling is also the result of my painstaking thought and repeated consideration. When Ieyasu set off from Osaka to conquer Uesugi, Ieyasu once submitted an affidavit to Terumoto, expressing to him that no matter what happens, we must get along like brothers You don't know about it." "Yes, but the adults must show brotherhood now..." "Shut up! I treat him like a brother, but as soon as I left, he immediately came to ask me for an appeal. To this day, I still remember his appeal clearly. If he is so enthusiastic about mobilizing the world to support the Western Army, Selfless, how could he be so easily deceived by Huiqiong and Zhibu? He has planned and grandiosely signed a joint signature with Xiujia to issue orders to the world. If he does not take this responsibility, he is not worthy of being a general. Is this brotherhood, direct government? " Under Ieyasu's sharp questioning, Naomasa closed his mouth, but he was still not convinced.Affidavits and the like have long been treated as a formality by the world today.The key point is that Maori did not participate in the Sekigahara War. To be more precise, he did not send troops under the vigorous mediation of Kuroda and Fukushima.Therefore, no matter what, the contributions of Kuroda and Fukushima should be acknowledged.This is the true meaning of Zhizheng. "Zhengzheng, you still seem to be dissatisfied?" "Yes. I have nothing to say about Huiyuan, but..." "Needless to say. Just tell the two of you that Huiyuan's proclamation to the world and provoking war for no reason is really an act of rebellion. Therefore, I want to take back all his territories, and then divide them into three kingdoms, namely Yoshikawa, Kuroda and Fukushima." People. If they think that they will lose face if they don't keep Huiyuan's old collar, then they don't need to seal it up and go to protect Huiyuan together. You just say that." Ii Naomasa saw blue veins popping up on his forehead, "My lord, how can you appease the world with such strong words?" Jiakang smiled and said, "You're right. But the Ministry of War, if Huiyuan's territory remains intact, how can the people of the world be stable?" Ii Naomasa was speechless for a moment. "If Hui Yuan is spared, Jing Sheng should also forgive him. Since even Hui Yuan and Jing Sheng have forgiven, how can the Xiu family, the president, Yoshihiro and the others be merciful outside the law? Otherwise, it would be unfair. They can be punished People, are there only Sancheng and Huiqiong left?" "This this……" "Only based on the territory of these two people, how can we reward meritorious soldiers? The general situation of the world has changed drastically. If they are asked to return to the old collar, regardless of meritorious deeds, do you think our hard-working generals will understand and agree? Not only will they not Promise, I am afraid that the world will fall into the vortex of disputes and fight endlessly." Ieyasu glanced at Tadakatsu Honda again, "I want to re-evaluate and redistribute territories according to their respective talents and contributions. The world is peaceful and the struggle is endless, Tokugawa Ieyasu alone does not matter, the world can see clearly, and the sun can learn from it." Zhongsheng nodded endlessly, and looked at Zhizheng.Kanbara Yasumasa remained calm, he did not participate in the battle of Sekigahara, and he and Hidetada went west along the Zhongshan Road, so he did not have much contact with Mori like Naomasa and Tadakatsu. "You understand, Master of the Ministry of War?" Ieyasu said in a dignified tone, "Before, I had to work hard to consolidate the ground under my feet. I was not stable on my feet. What are the ambitions of the world? It's different now. I have to change my mind and hope for peace in the world. The most important thing. And then concentrate on, 'rejoice in seeking the pure land'. I have no intention of destroying Mori. In fact, the Hiroshi Yoshikawa's contribution is not small. Therefore, if Kuroda and Fukushima get angry, you can say that Ieyasu intends to keep Yoshikawa. The 360,000 stone territories of Zhou Fang and Nagato. You have to persuade them patiently first, if they still don’t listen, then there is no room for negotiation, and I will immediately destroy the Mori family!” Naomasa, who had been dejected before, raised his head and stared at Ieyasu.Ieyasu's determination this time is the same as when he was in Xiaoshan. At that time, he disregarded everyone's opposition and undisguisedly informed the old general Toyotomi of the unfavorable news. This required great courage.Zhizheng understood a truth: only Sancheng and Huiqiong's territories could not be rewarded for meritorious service to the soldiers of the Eastern Army. "It seems that you also understand. Since that's the case, let's go today." Ieyasu slowed down his tone. Now that the matter has come to this point, Naomasa Ii and Tadakatsu Honda have no choice but to bite the bullet and execute the order.They immediately signed the document, and then, Naomasa Ii held the order in his hand, first conveyed it to Fukushima Masamori, and secondly to Kuroda Nagamasa.Needless to say, the two were very dissatisfied: "Isn't this in the name of attacking Shimadzu to conquer Maori? I really didn't expect such an order to be issued!" But Fukushima Masanori and Kuroda Nagamasa belonged to their own people after all, and they were easier to persuade, but in this way, the two were in an embarrassing situation.Ieyasu knew what had happened, but pushed the matter away completely. As a result, the people of Fukushima, Ii, Honda and others partnered to deceive Mori Terumoto.Ke Huiyuan and Ieyasu still haven't negotiated a peace, so the order had to be conveyed. "Let's leave this matter to Kuroda Kaishou." Fukushima Masamori insisted on passing the order to Kuroda Nagamasa.Changzheng had no choice but to send an envoy to deliver the order to Hiroshi Yoshikawa's house, while he hid in the mansion, thinking hard about how to deal with Hiro's accusation. Sure enough, the Guang family immediately sent an envoy back.Kuroda had no choice but to let people say that he was not there. Not long after, the envoy asked to see him for the second time, and Heotian let people say that he had not returned.But when the Guang family's envoy asked for an audience for the third time, Changzheng finally couldn't bear to write a letter to the Guang family. Things in the world are really cruel.Originally, Changzheng was mediating with a friendly intention, but now, he discovered that the word "world" does not allow for any personal feelings, so he had no choice but to act ruthlessly "fairly". 〖Master Yoshikawa: Regarding Mori-sama's personnel affairs, I tried my best to mediate with Fukushima-sama, but Mori still colluded with Ishida and stationed in Xiyuan. The official letter was indeed affixed with Mori-sama's seal, and troops were sent to Shikoku.This is the end of the matter, and it cannot be undone. The integrity of your lordship is obvious to all, and the Jingyi military department has always spared no effort to mediate it. The inner government revealed that it will give you one or two territories in China.The Ministry of War promised that the inner government will write the letter in person in a few days. If you receive an invitation from the Ministry of War, please leave immediately and bring three or four personal guards.I have absolutely no intention of cheating, please be careful. If the above content is false, I am willing to be punished by the gods. Changzheng Immediately〗 After Nagamasa delivered the letter to the messenger, he prayed secretly, hoping that the Hiro family would understand Ieyasu's painstaking efforts. After reading Kuroda Nagamasa's letter, Hiroe Yoshikawa was not that surprised.Seeing Ieyasu's order, he already understood his mind.To be more precise, it was Nagamasa's attitude that forced him to think calmly. Of course, Guangjia deeply regrets this ending.But Huiyuan's deeds and deeds are also indisputable facts, not to mention Jiakang, everyone knows it.However, in the previous correspondence, there was no detailed description of the agreement. One of the reasons was that Huiyuan was considered unwise and could not be described in detail;But whoever is in the position of Jiakang, I am afraid it can only be like this. Huiyuan was really reckless, easily stationed in Xiyuan, and put Xiujiu next to Xiulai, and immediately became the commander-in-chief of the Western Army, giving orders.Now that the Guang family thinks about it, when they were in Guanyuan, the Mori family might as well have gone down to Nangong Mountain to help the Eastern Army. The previous entanglements may have been turned into dust; However, what's the use of regretting now?After thinking about it, the Guang family immediately sat in front of the desk and wrote a letter. The day before yesterday, when I had no way out, I asked the two for help in desperation, and I got the help of the two, which made the inner government look at me differently.The two benefactors will never be forgotten. This incident did not come from Lord Maori's original intention, but was provoked by Anguo Temple, and Ishida was repeatedly confused.I thought I was loyal to Shaojun, so I was stationed in Xiyuan, it was purely ill-considered and out of necessity.From then on, he will be loyal to the inner government.I also hope that you two will take great pains to preserve Mao Lishi. If only this humble person receives grace, I really feel sorry for it, and abandoning my family is an insult to morality, which is not my original intention.Needless to say what is the evaluation in the hearts of the world, the Guang family is also a despicable villain in the eyes of others, please punish the Guang family in the same way. The whole family will never forget the kindness that the inner government has shown to the Maori family. If there are still people with bad intentions, even members of the family will try their best to put down the chaos and show their loyalty. While choosing words and sentences, the Guang family was full of regrets.This letter will determine Maori's fate. Thinking of this, his tears could no longer be controlled, and burst out of his eyes. Yoshikawa Hiroka sent the letter to Kuroda Nagamasa and Fukushima Masanori before Ii Naomasa came to summon him.After signing his name, he did not hesitate to press the bloody handprint. Kuroda Nagamasa and Fukushima Masanori immediately took the letter to Ii Naomasa, and Naomasa called Honda Tadakatsu, and the four of them came to Ieyasu together.At this time, Ieyasu was unfolding a map of Japan that Buzai had drawn, and was studying it intently while wearing tortoiseshell-rimmed glasses.The territories and major cities are marked on the map, but the names of the lords are not filled in. After Kuroda Nagamasa gave a brief explanation, he handed over the letter with the bloody fingerprints of Hiroshi Yoshikawa's family to Ieyasu.Ieyasu took off his glasses and read silently.The four of them stared at Ieyasu, not daring to breathe.Gradually, Ieyasu's eyes turned red, "Huiyuan is also considered Yuanjiu's grandson. There is such an incompetent person in the Maori family. It is a lesson. Bu Zhai, pen and ink." Fill in the word "Maori" on the ground with Shufang and Nagato, and then dictate: "First, entrust the two leaders of Shufang and Nagato. Second, spare the lives of Mori and his son. Third, false claims should be investigated." "Who is the recipient?" Bu Zhai asked. "Master Aki Nagon Terumoto, and Mori Toshichiro Hideto, please write the tenth day of the day first." It was only the third day of October.Kuroda Nagamasa was deeply puzzled and asked, "The tenth day?" Ieyasu smiled slightly, "These seven days are a gift from Ieyasu to the Guang family. If you give it to him now, Huiyuan will be furious. Maybe he will complain angrily and force the Guang family to commit seppuku! After seven days, he will thank the Hiro family with tears. I want him to know that it is none other than the Yoshikawa Hiro family who saved the Mori family. It will take seven days of thinking.” After finishing speaking, he seemed to be Thinking of something, he said: "The Guang family is really considerate. Maybe what he wants is not just my words, he also wants Xiuzhong's letter. But Xiuzhong won't give him a letter. You just need to comfort the Guang family." Jiakang After speaking to Kuroda Nagamasa, he signed the affidavit and stamped it with a monogram. "That's it." It seemed to be talking to himself, and it seemed to be speaking to four people. After finishing speaking, Ieyasu wiped his glasses with his thick fingers, put them on again, and spun in Zhou Fangdong's Aki Hiroshima Nearby, the word "Fukushima" was filled in with a Chinese ink brush, and the word "Kuroda" was filled in at Chikuqen across the sea.
