In addition to the two important officials, other retainers under Hideopo took this opportunity to get rid of their status as a servant and became a daimyo with the right to speak in Osaka.

When Hideopo surrendered the Tokugawa clan and hosted the world's daimyo in Numata Castle, five of the top 20 seats were Hideopo's retainers, including Takato Fukudo and Kiyoshima, as well as Takayoshi Fukushima, Nasu Shikiyoshi and Toshiki Aoki.

Among them, Takayoshi Fukushima sat in the fifth seat on the left, second only to the fourth seat, Muri Hidemoto, and sat with the housemaster of Hinata on the right. It can be said that he was the youngest and promising general of the Yamato Toyotomi clan, and was also given enough attention by Hideopo. Not only that, he was also the nephew of Masashima Fukushima and the adopted son of Takato Fukushima. As the main force of the Yuhara battlefield, he successfully resisted the Tokugawa army's repeated attacks and successfully restrained the military power of Kazuhara Yasumasa, so that he could not go south to support the Tokugawa main force. Later, he made many contributions in the pursuit battle and was well deserved to be promoted. However, before, he was indecisive in the city of Numata, which made Hideopo really disappointed. Therefore, he was only transferred from Yamato Tatsumeyama to 80,000 stones to Tohomoma (Mamiki) and 200,000 stones, and divided the entire Kazuma country with Ukita Hide family.

Some people think that it is thankful that Fukushima Takayaga had 120,000 stones, but Nasushiki, who made his fortune almost at the same time, would no longer have this idea. Also one of the eight Yamato ministers, Nasushiki was in the sixth seat on the right when he was in Numata Castle, which was not as good as Fukushima Takayagi. Before that, his fief was only Kii Iwamu, who took 21,000 stones, which was only one quarter of the former. Although Heiyuan annihilated Ii Ichibe, and later bravely blocked the retreat of the Tokugawa Army in the pursuit battle, he bought precious time for the arrival of the army.

But these achievements alone still do not exceed Fukushima Takayoshi, but just like this, he was given a great reward of 200,000 stones by Hideopo Echizen (Fukui), which was equivalent to ten times more, which was comparable to Fukushima Takayoshi. What's more, the geographical location of Echizen, where he was granted was very important. Not only were there local tyrants like Maeda Tatsumasa and Oda Hidenoon who needed surveillance, but also external niches such as Jun Sobo and Matsuura Hidehito who were dissatisfied with Hideopo.

Hidepo's placement of Nasushiki among these forces is enough to show Hidepo's trust in him. The 200,000-stone reward is hoped to balance and weaken Fukushima Takaki, who is closely related to the Fukushima clan by improving his status. This can also be said to be a reflection of Hidepo's disappointment with the latter. Although Takaki Fukushima is straightforward, he is not stupid. He should know that Hidepo's intention to do this. Where to go next is a very serious issue he needs to consider.

As for the ninth seat of Aoki Toshizu, who was once the ninth seat on the left, although he was also among the eight ministers of Yamato, his value was very average. He was different from Fukushima Masano and Nasushiki. He did not lead the army alone in the early stage of the war. Instead, he followed Shima Kiyoshi and monitored various daimyos in northern Sichuan. Although he later participated in the pursuit of Tokugawa Army, he did not make much achievements in the end. However, his father Aoki Ikki and his son Aoki Hiroyuki were both retainers whom Hideopo rely on. However, considering that Aoki was a representative of the Yamato Toyotomi genealogy, Hideopo still affirmed him and transferred him from Kii to the mountain, 50,000 stones of the Fanhe River to Mikawa (Okazaki) to 180,000 stones of the Matsuhira family. It is also a kind of honor and honor.

Also awarded for the genealogy are more than ten retainers including Kazura Kura, Kazura Sugi, Toshimasato Honta, Shimoto Hoshikisuki, Tada Kishida and Tadaki. Among them, except for Kazura Kura Kura, Kazura Kura, who succeeded as the leader of Kazura Kura, who received the title of 180,000 Ueno (Tanlin), although the others have been promoted to the Daming Class, but most of them are small Dainames below 50,000. After all, Hideo's position is higher and he thinks more long-term. Those traditional genealogy forces with insufficient abilities must be weakened, and the new retainers who he promoted will be the target of the next key promotion.

After finishing the book, I will talk about the backward talents promoted by Xiubao.

First of all, Goto Kiji, his ability is obvious to all. In North Korea and Hokuriku Domain, he fully utilized the ability of a "sense general" to make plans and control the overall situation. He is a rare "sense star" among the Yamato Toyotomi retainers who can be equal to Takato Fujido. However, because he was late in his official career and took into account the views of other daimyos and retainers, Hideopo finally gave him 150,000 stones of Minami Satsuma (Kagoshima) and allowed him to use the Shimazu clan's main castle as a residence and become an important member of Hideopo's guarding the southwestern border.

Of course, in addition to his recognition of his abilities, Hideo was also considerate for practical reasons: although Shimazu family was transferred to Mian Hyuga, the Shimazu family and Satsuma and Osumi country had close relationships with the rich people of Osumi country, and had to be in charge of the southwest to maintain stability in the southwest. Goto Kidokawa was very familiar with the situation in Kyushu, and he was just right. In addition, Kato Kidokawa Naoshima, Hosokawa Tadashi, and Konishi of Kyushu were not Hideoba's confidants, so it was hard to rest assured that Goto Kidokawa was placed here, and Osumi-Kiyaki became his own hidden place, which was somewhat considered as an insurance for Kyushu. Here we have to mention the Kuroda Rumi and his son, Goto Kidok, who was kicked out of the house by himself, has now become a daimyo with the same knowledge and action as his own. I wonder what I think?

Like Goto Kiji, Ogasawara Takaki also joined Hideopo during the Battle of Kyūgasawara. He and his eldest son Tadaki Ogasawara, one defended Higasawara to the death and reversed the situation in Kinki; the other served as the "Renna General Officer" to pacify Ikki in southern Korea, and later led the navy to land on Edo Bay, and finally forced Edo to open the castle. Such achievements were enough to make Hideopo fulfill his promises that year - Shinno (Matsumoto) 180,000 stones, Minami Shinno Shinno and Ina counties, Ogasawara clan, who had been away from Shinno for decades, finally realized the revival of the Imperial family. Ogasawara and his son were all grateful to Hideo.

The same ideal of returning to his hometown was Haruka Komiyayama. No, at this time, he had already used his previous name, Takeda Katsuki, and his territory was transferred from Kii to Katsuki, and he obtained the 120,000 stone of Yamanashi and Gioma, and was able to use Kota as a residence city. The famous Takeda family finally achieved revival after 18 years. As for the child born to the daughter of Tokugawa Ieyasu's former retainer Akiyama Tokuyasu (also the adopted daughter of Nobuko Kotayama), although he was a so-called "Tada Nobuko" and officially adopted the name of "Tada Nobuyoshi" to inherit the Takeda family, under Hideopo's tough request, he was forced to return to the Tokugawa clan. Due to his weakness and illness, he died on the way to Osaka with Tokugawa Ieyasu. Takeda Katsuki's orthodoxy no longer had even a slight threat to the orthodox of Takeda Katsuki, which was very important for Hideopo to maintain his rule in the Katsuki region.

The Oto family, a famous Kyushu family, was revived on the Kotodong Peninsula and became an independent daimyo again, but this was achieved through Hideo's efforts. Therefore, Ototo Yoshito followed Hideo's pace and could even be said to have completely obeyed Hideo's orders, which was no different from the retainers of Hideo. In the Battle of Kyushu, he led his retainers to fight against Shimazu. Despite the heavy losses, the rewards he received were also gratifying: Toyogo was soon to see him, and the two counties of Kujo (Kitsui) were granted 100,000 stones. With Hideo's support, the efforts of the retainers and his own tenacious fighting, the Oto family finally regained a place in Kitakyushu.
