Chapter 387 Chatting during the banquet

From the arrangement of seats, we can see that among the top 20 seats, Hideomo retainers occupy five seats, Hideomo Daima occupied three seats, Toyotomi Daima occupied seven seats, and Extraordinary Daima occupied five seats. Therefore, in this Aizu conquest, Toyotomi Daima occupied an absolute advantage, and among the five Extraordinary Daimas that barely squeezed into, except for Shimazu clan, the rest were not in the traditional sense. This means that traditional extraordinary forces in the post-war handling will be difficult to rise, and the prestige of Toyotomi will be consolidated and even strengthened.

Despite this, it is said without any concealment that the advantages of the Toyotomi Dainame do not mean Hideo's advantages. After careful analysis, Hideomoto's retainers and close Dainames occupy eight seats, while the independent daimyo who served the Toyotomi family accounted for seven. Although some of them were the Ozawa faction and some were the Omi faction, they undoubtedly had the attitude towards Hideomoto mostly depended on Hideomoto's loyalty to the Toyotomi family and Hideoray, and did not support themselves without reservation like the Yamato Toyotomi retainers and Muri Hidemoto close Dainames. Therefore, how to get along with it after this battle is also a question that Hideomoto has to face and think about.

Among the seven daimyo names of the Toyotomi clan, Fukushima Masashi, Kato Kaaki, and Kusuka Housekeeping are considered Ozakaya, Konishi Governor, and Ikomaki are considered to be 30% of the Omi clan. As for Yuki Hideyasu and Kobayashi Hideaki, although they were both daimyos close to Tokugawa Ieyasu before the war, the former was out of family affection and the latter was out of interests, which led to the two facing different endings after the war.

Hideboy was interested in Hideyasu Yuki's affection and friendship. In addition, the Yuki's old Masato Yuki's Suzu also secretly expressed his closeness to him, so Hideyasu was ranked first, which also indicates that he would be valued after the war; while Hideaki Kobayasu was different. As Hideyoshi's adopted son, he was once close to Tokugawa Ieyasu. When he conquered Aizu, he did not work hard. He ignored Hidebo's orders several times and almost delayed the fighter's opportunity. He should have been punished, but due to his affection, Hideboy still gave him a bottom position, but this did not mean that he was forgiven, but instead he was marginalized.

The daimyo under Hidebo's commanders were all eight Yamato ministers. Among the eight people, Ikko Sangshan, who were ordered to think behind closed doors because of the riots in Otahara, was responsible for guarding Higasawara Takaki Ogasawara, who was responsible for guarding Higasawara Castle. He missed the battle because of illness in Busan. Among these eight ministers, except for Ikko Sangshan, Ikko Sangshan and Toshiki Aoki, they all had the ability to guard one side. Hidebo had also thought about bringing Sangshan and Aoi and Aoi to rest.

Ki adjusted the "Family Elderly Evaluation Meeting" and included Horio Yoshiharu and Goto Kiji. However, considering that Sanyama and Ao Muno were the genealogical retainers of the Yamato Toyotomi clan and represented Yamato's local forces, if they were removed rashly, they would inevitably trigger a series of reactions at home. In addition, Horio Yoshiharu was still one of the "Three Middle School Elders", so it was inevitable that he would cause rumors to be included in the ranks of retainers. Therefore, before the war, Hideo did not make up his mind to make adjustments.

However, as the battle ended, Hideo felt that rewards and punishments were clearly distinguished, and it was urgent to make the best use of the people. A plan to expand the scale of the assessment team took shape in his mind, but whether it could be implemented smoothly depends on whether the retainers on other battlefields can achieve decent achievements.

"There are still too few materials that can be made in my family." Looking at the famous daimyo in the hall, Hideopo couldn't help but shake his head: "Not to mention the 'Twenty-Four Generals Takeda', even the 'Ten Thousands of Tokugawa' are all out of reach."

"My dear sirs, I will hold a banquet here tonight. I hope that everyone can drink and have fun, and that the tension and fatigue of the past month will be relieved. Come on, let us drink this cup full of the war, the war will be calmed, the Toyotomi family's foundation will be forever, and the world will be prosperous and peaceful!"

"I wish Toyotomi a prosperous foundation and peace in the world!" At this moment, no matter inside and outside the hall, big and big names, they all raised their wine glasses and expressed their blessings to Toyotomi and the peace in the world in unison. As for how many of them are true or false, it is unknown.

"Awajimatsu, in your opinion, is this true or false from the inner palace?" Maori Katsunobu asked Nasushiki with a smile.

Nasushiki knew that Maori Katsunobu was attacked by Tokugawa army at the Furukawa Shrine and lost two sons and most of his retainers. When he said this, he seemed to be intentional to provoke his relationship with Tokugawa Ieyasu. After all, Nasushiki was seriously injured when blocking the Tokugawa army's retreat, and many close samurai died under the sword of Tokugawa.

But Nasushiki is not stupid either. He will not be prejudiced against Ieyasu on this matter, nor will he spread the words of Maori Katsunobu Mouri Katsunobu Mouri Katsunobu Mouri Katsunobu Mouri Katsunobu Mouri Katsunobu Mouri Katsunobu Mouri Katsunobu Mouri Katsunobu Mouri Katsunobu Mouri Katsunobu Mouri Katsunobu Mouri Katsunobu Mouri Katsunobu Mouri Katsunobu Mouri Katsunobu Mouri Katsunobu Mouri Katsunobu Mouri Katsunobu Mouri was disappointed and embarrassed.

Also dissatisfied with Tokugawa Ieyasu, the president Konishi. As an ally of Mizuna Ishida, he was proud of his great contribution to persuade Uesugi Keikaku to surrender. However, when he learned that Ieyasu could also sit in the hall, he was very unhappy. He muttered to Hidenaga Kawajiri beside him: "I really didn't expect that it would be puzzling that the inner palace could sit in the hall so vain if this is a big mistake."

"No, we have so many people died, but we still have to pretend to be in the same room with him as if nothing had happened. It's really uncomfortable." Hidenagakura Kawajiri nodded, and looked at Kawahara Yasumasa next to Ieyasu and snorted coldly: "But there are only two so-called 'Tokugawa Four Heavenly Kings', and I'm still very pleased when I think about this."

"Hmph, do you want to say that you are involved in killing Ii's War Department? It's such a villain!" President Konishi wanted to continue chatting with Hidenaga Kawajiri, but when he heard that Kawajiri was going to talk to him about those "glorious deeds" again, he suddenly lost interest. After talking to himself, he went sideways to chat with Takaki Fukushima.

"From the meaning of the Utsunobu, I really don't plan to do anything tonight." Kuroda Nagamasa said casually while toasting Fukushima Masao.
