Chapter 13 Taige's painstaking efforts
At the foot of Fushimi Castle, Tokugawa Ieyasu Mansion.
While watching the tea slowly, Honda Masashi listened to Tokugawa Ieyasu's experience at Hideyoshi, his face was filled with an undetectable smile. When Ieyasu was feeling unhappy about the complete matter, Honda Masashi put down the teacup and slowly analyzed: "This bitter meat plan is really outstanding. Sacrifice your nephew to weaken the family. Most people will probably be confused, but Your Highness must have seen something strange. Confiscated your nephew's territory, even if it is more, it will be money on the left hand, which will not reduce the strength of the Toyotomi family at all. However, it is different to reduce your territory. No matter how small it is, it will be profitable, let alone the huge Ueno Ichiko and the 100,000 stones of the total?"
Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded and said with complaint: "I really didn't expect Heihachi to make such a mistake. It seems that he was too dependent on him, but instead made him become more arrogant. Why didn't he understand that Kinki is different from Kanto, and it is not a place where he plays wild. There must be a price to use force here, but I didn't expect that the price was too high."
Honda Masano saw Ieyasu care about his 500,000-stone territory so much, and said disapprovingly: "This is not your style of dealing with things. If you don't help Honda and his son because of this fief, the losses caused will be hard to measure by land. But then again, this Highness Toyotomi Hideo can cooperate with Taige at a young age and behave so realistically. It seems that you can't underestimate it."
Seeing that the tea was cold, Ieyasu got up and respectfully poured hot tea for his first counselor. He frowned, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was asking Honda's righteous faith: "You said this is strange. I heard that His Highness Yamato Danayan's adopted son was a ignorant and naughty person. Although he had not talked too much today, from his words and deeds tonight, he could confirm that this son was definitely not an ordinary person, at least he had some talent. Unexpectedly, when the Shirakura came down from the wilderness of the Killing Pass, such an unfathomable Danayan came up again. It would be really hard for me to wait for the future."
Honda Masato saw Ieyasu care about Hideo's performance so much, and his eyes turned around and immediately came to his mind. He signaled Ieyasu to lean his head over and whispered to introduce his plan to him...
In less than half a year, Omi had to hand over it again. Hideo was also unhappy. She watched his Shitaka cut by one third of the time, and was wondering whether the chips he had set were too high. Fukushima Takayoshi was just a little lord of 30,000 stones, and he actually used more than ten times the territory in exchange. I really don't know how he could speak at the beginning.
Although the Nagashu Masashi's family did not personally experience the important meeting tonight's cut of millions of stones, he could still hear some of his mistakes from Xiubao. When Xiubao said that he had to continue to build Yudongshan Castle and Changjiguan, the Masashi finally expressed his thoughts: "Can't your highness see that this is a bitter trick used by Taige?"
"Bitty plan?" Shuibao repeated the words of the Masao family like a monk who was confused. In his opinion, there was something wrong with Nagaki's fight, and it was normal for Hideyoshi to kick him. As for the confiscation of territory, it was proposed by him. What does this have to do with the bitter plan?
When Nagashu Zheng's family heard Hidepo's doubts, they couldn't help laughing: "Your Highness is really too shallow to understand Taige's good intentions. I would like to ask Your Highness, where is the most important part of Nanojiang?"
Xiu Bao replied without hesitation: "Of course it is Yudongshan City and Changji Pass. I have spent half a year on energy and huge financial resources to build these two places. Alas, it's a pity that it will be delivered to others..." Seeing Xiu Bao a little depressed, Chang Shu Zheng's family reminded appropriately: "Did Taige indicate the completion date?" "No, but so what?" Xiu Bao still didn't understand.
The master looked at the seventeen-year-old Da Nayan helplessly and finally revealed the answer: "Since Taige did not say when you would build a city, we can extend the construction period and even build more fortifications. Before we finally complete it, aren't both of these places still ours?"
Hearing this, Xiu Bao suddenly realized and slapped his forehead: "Why didn't I think of this trick? I guess Taige finally told me that I wouldn't confiscate these two important places for now."
"Since you can understand this, your highness understands the so-called bitter meat plan." Zhengjia then breathed a sigh of relief.
"It should be that Taige wants to use this to weaken the strength of the Tokugawa family, right?" Hideo asked tentatively. Masaki nodded. "Yes, Taige will return your fiefdom to you after cutting down, but what you get from His Highness Tokugawa will never be given to him again. But thanks to Your Highness, fortunately, you dare to give such a large bargaining chip to make our family achieve great success. I believe Taige is laughing happily in his dream at this moment."
After listening to the long speech of the Masato family, Hideoba suddenly felt that he was still too naive in politics. Fortunately, he took a good move this time, otherwise Hideoyoshi's efforts would have been in vain.
The announcement on the disposal of territory was released surprisingly quickly. The next morning, it spread among the names, mainly involving four people: Fukushima Masashi was transferred from Ohashi Kiyoshi to Kitanoki Shin Castle with 240,000 stones, Ikeda Shin Castle with 280,000 stones from Mikawa Yoshida to Ueno Takashi 150,000 stones from Ueno Takashi, as for the 100,000 stones from Ueno Takashi, as for the 100,000 stones from the 100,000 stones from the 100,000 stones from the 120,000 stones from the 100,000 stones from the 100,000 stones from the 100,000 stones from the 100,000 stones from the 100,000 stones from the 140,000 stones were added to Kyoko Takashi.
For such distribution, anyone with a discerning eye can see Hideyoshi's intention. Which one of Fukushima Masanoha, Ikeda Hiromasa, and Hosokawa Tadahiko are not Hideyoshi's direct descendants, and the intention is self-evident. Kyoko Takashi originally had a fiefdom of Otsu's 70,000 stones, but now it is inexplicably granted 140,000 stones, becoming a daimyo with 210,000 stones. It makes people feel that it is just a digital game played by Hideyoshi and has no substantial impact on the Toyotomi regime. However, Masamoto Masamoto's 120,000 stones are generally considered to be Hideyoshi's outstanding performance in the subsequent work of exile Hideko. Therefore, although he has obtained a huge territory, his reputation has become terrible and despised by the world.
