Chapter 5 Azuchi fortification
Hideyoshi exchanged the five Minami Omi prefectures for Waizumi. On the surface, Hideyoshi's height has increased, but if you study Hideyoshi's decision carefully, you will find his real purpose.
The so-called five counties of Minami Omi are Kurita, Koga, Noshu, Kusuo and Kamizaki. These counties are located in the southeast of Omi, bordering Mino to the east, Biwa Lake to the west, Koga to the south, and Saiyayama to the north. They can be said to be Omi in the Omi and the treasure land. With such a superior geographical location, wouldn't it be Hideo to get Hideo if it weren't for Hideji?
However, after looking at this golden land with a rational look, I have to admire Hideyoshi's wisdom and alertness: This Nanoe is indeed a treasure land, but perhaps it is for others, for Hideopo, it is like a useless rib, and it is not to take it or abandon it. Why? Obviously, this place is surrounded by many powerful daimyos, but it is not close to his ability, Yamato and Kii, so Hideopo cannot effectively coordinate the territory. This is like an enclave, isolated from its ability, and the unstable factors over time will naturally appear. Moreover, this land is not calm. Whether it is the former remains of the Hexaki family or the remnants of the Ninja tribe of Koga County, it is a big deal. If it cannot be effectively governed, coupled with the provocation of these forces, I believe that a wealthy rebellion or even Ikki will soon occur.
If this is true, not only will it not only fail to make full use of the superior conditions here to develop and strengthen yourself, but on the contrary, the Daisuke of Sawayama's master will even catch the handle. At that time, I guess he will be the second best person in Sasa Narimasa.
Thinking of this, Hideo was a little at a loss. It was too late to refuse now. Besides, in fact, he still didn't want to give up the fat meat at his mouth. Hideoba knew very well that what he had to do now was to put out most of his energy to the management of this land. As for Yamato Kii's skills, he would hand it over to the group of retainers left by Hideo Nagato for handling, and appointed Sanyama Shigeharu as the lord of Kiyoshi Wakayama Castle to handle Kiyoshi and Mitsuki Shigeshou's affairs, and Mitsuki Shigeshou was given to Suzuki Shigeshou. After all, he still had a certain foundation there; on Yamato, it would be reassuring to hand it over to Takato Fujido, although later generations did not have a good evaluation of him.
But before taking office as the Koriyama Castle Cave, Hideopo needed one thing he could do, that is, to build a new residence castle in Ome according to Hideyoshi's instructions.
Hideboa knew that Hideji's practice of leaving Kyoto and taking over his territory was despised by many daimyos. He even compared him with Nobunaga's unscrupulous son, saying that he had framed his biological brother for his own benefit and would not die well.
Hideopo was not sure who spread these words among the people, but at least Hideyoshi played an important role in it. He must have wanted to make himself have no way out and be loyal to him wholeheartedly.
Due to Hideyoshi's order, Hideji cut his hair into a monk at Aosuji Temple in Takano Mountain, and he took the name "Leran" by himself. Yes, things have reached this point, what else can I do besides "Leran"?
With Xiuci's wisdom, Xiubao was not sure that he could understand his good intentions, or understand the meaning of what he said to him before leaving, so he should be full of resentment and dissatisfaction with Xiubao now, "Is this how you protect your brother?" This should be what he wants to ask the most.
Xiubao didn't dare to go there, nor did he bear to see him. He was afraid that I would not be able to tell him the truth of history. If that were the case, Xiubao's plan would not be implemented and history would not develop in the way I hoped. This is something he didn't want to see.
Of course, since he had no choice to play this role, then Shuibo must continue to play without hesitation; since Hideyoshi blocked his retreat, he must move forward bravely on this only road.
Hidebo knew that a little hesitation and hesitation would probably end his performance early, so he had to move forward non-stop according to the plan. He had to act according to Hideyoshi's idea. Since there was no way out, why not be a bad guy? He just wanted to take over Oe before Hideji arrived, and to build a city without stopping to establish his prestige. Perhaps in future history books, Hidebo would be the "cold-blooded Danayan" that was as famous as "Killing Guanbai". It would be a typical example of intrigue and relatives in the history of the Warring States Period, but all this doesn't matter now. After all, history is written by the winner. As long as he can laugh to the end, who will know these disgraceful past events?
Don’t think about it anymore, solve the things in front of you first. This is the sorrow of a time traveler. He always wants to change history, but is bound by history. In the end, it may be just a tragic end.
According to Hideyoshi's intention, Hideopo's residence was set up in Ome, but when he led Shima Kiyoshi and Fujido Takato to investigate these five counties, he could not choose a satisfactory city site. Even Shima Kiyoshi complained: "Lord, what did Taige think? Our Yamato has a county mountain castle and Kiyoshi has a city castle. They are all first-class cities. Why do you need to choose a site to build a city among these five counties in Jiangzhou?"
Yes, if it were not for the sake of strengthening the rule, Hideo would not be willing to leave his skills and come to live in this strange place. The three counties of Koga, Kurita and Noshu were mountainous and often flooded with rivers, and Koga was not very peaceful. If the Gucheng was built here, Baocheng would not die one day; Kazuzaki County was too close to the border, so he did not want his Gucheng to be exposed to the eyes of the adult Sawayama.
"Then, the only place to choose is Pusheng County." Fujido Takato also came to this conclusion. Hideobao carefully studied the map of Pusheng County. Hino Castle in the east was once the residence of Pusheng Family. Out of respect for the clan township, Hideobao was unwilling to make ground there, so there was only Nishi Pusheng County. "The lord just lives in Antu City." Kiyoshi Shima complained. In his opinion, Omi could not compare with Yamato. The only thing he could remember was Lake Biwa and that Antu City.
Takaha Takahara took a photo of Shima Qingxing's head and said, "Do you know that Antu City has been burned into ruins at Honno Temple, and there is nothing left except Ishigaki. Do you want your lord to live in a tent there?"
"Antucheng?" Hideobo was excited and asked Fujido to find its location. He pressed his finger at the location near Biwa Lake in the west of Pusheng County. "Lord, this is the ruins of Antucheng." Fujido said indifferently.
"This is an excellent location!" Hideopo said to him excitedly, "Look," he asked Fujido to get closer. "This place is backed by Lake Biwa, surrounded by water on three sides, and the east is our own territory. Of course, there is no need to worry about security. Even if the territory on the east is broken, we can still ask for help from the Taige territory in the west of the lake, and even follow the example of Akimasuke from the time of the year. It is not difficult to cross Lake Biwa, and there is also the Ishigaki left behind back then, which can reduce a lot of expenses. The most important thing is, Hideopo paused and signaled them to get closer. "Only here can you make Taige absolutely feel at ease with me."
"Lord!" Fujido and Shima Kiyoshi shouted in unison, "Did you see that Taige is wary of you long ago?!" Xiu Bao nodded: "It seems that you are all smart people, but being smart is a good thing and a bad thing, especially in this era, do you think I should believe you?"
When the two heard this, they hurriedly knelt down and bowed to Xiubao: "Please don't worry, lord, I am loyal to you, and I will be loyal to you in the future!"
"Very good," Xiubo was calm on the surface, but was very excited inside. After all, these two were both powerful retainers.
