"Is there such a good gift in the world?"
"Yes!" Zhengjia said with a slight blush on his face, "The thing Zuo Mansion likes most... is a house where you can sleep peacefully."
"Oh...give away the house?"
"Yes, I don't know if Madam knows that the Tokugawa Palace is located in the lowlands to the east, the Ishida Palace is across the road to the west, and the residences of Kanbe Yuzen and Fukuhara Changgao are to the north and south. In short, no matter which side, there are It overlooks Tokugawa Prefecture.
I heard that everyone in the Tokugawa Prefecture hates the young minister who planned this matter, because if the three prefectures fire at the Tokugawa Prefecture at the same time, the Tokugawa Prefecture will be wiped out in an instant..."
"Is this...is this serious?" This was the first time Mrs. Yodo had known about this matter, so her surprised tone was not fake.
"Exactly. Therefore, I thought that I could give the land of Xiangdao to Zuofu... According to His Highness Taige's last words, Zuofu is in charge of government affairs and its position is of vital importance, so we must not allow lawless people to harm Zuofu's life. I think it would be best for His Highness Zuofu to build a mansion on Xiangdao. If this can be done, Zuofu will definitely be very fond of his wife."
Mrs. Yodo glanced back at the Tibetan Bureau and sighed. This seemed to be a surprise to them.
"What your Highness means is that not only will Zuofu be very grateful for this, but the wife will not suffer any loss, is that true?" the Tibetan Bureau asked in confusion.
"Yes. Because this way you don't have to worry about Zuofu moving into the city. Otherwise, he will move into the city sooner or later... In this case, it is better to let him build a house in Xiangdao." Changshu Zhengjia was worried. After saying that, he straightened his body.
After understanding what Masashi meant, Mrs. Yodo tightened her face and frowned: "You mean, if we don't give away the house, Zuofu will move to this city sooner or later?"
"Of course, the Zuofu has to take charge of all government affairs, and there will naturally be a lot of big names coming and going. If they continue to be under the supervision of others, what kind of dignity will this world have? Besides..." The main family lowered his voice and said: "Anyway, the young master will make peace sooner or later. Auxiliary Prime Minister Dai Nagon moved into Osaka Castle together, and as a result, Fushimi Castle will be empty... By then, if the Zuofu, who is in charge of government affairs, makes a request, who can refuse it? What reasons are there for refusal? "
This makes sense. Mrs. Yodo nodded immediately and said, "Yes, that's right... Then did you tell His Highness Jibu about this?"
"No."
"Then why have you never mentioned it to me before?"
The principal sighed and said with a wry smile: "Although Madam is the biological mother of the young master, the antipathy towards the Zuo Mansion is really too much. Once I make such a suggestion, he will definitely misunderstand me, and I am afraid that I will be accused of having an affair with the Zuo Mansion." Therefore, Madam can look for opportunities on her own, either through Da Nayan, or..."
"I understand." Mrs. Yodo nodded and said, "I will find an opportunity for Dayan to take the initiative... This is a good thing, so let's do it."
"A good thing? Madam, what you mean is..." Da Zangju interrupted uneasily.
But Mrs. Yodo didn't look at her at all and said: "Your Highness Changshu, go to Zuofu immediately and tell him that this is His Highness Taige's last words and give Xiangdao to Zuofu. Of course, I am the only one who has heard this before. Last words, but with so many things going on lately, I forgot about it, and only now do I remember it.”
"Ma'am, did you agree?"
"Agreed. We don't know when we will return to Osaka. This is the key." After saying this, Mrs. Yodo looked at the Tibetan Bureau and said: "This is really a luxurious gift, right, Tibetan?"
"Yes, it is."
"Don't feel uneasy. These are the last words His Highness has left for me. If anything happens to the Zuo Mansion, who is acting as government official, it will be a disaster for the world.
"What Madam said is absolutely true."
"Haha... In this way, Zuofu will understand my thoughts." Mrs. Dian looked proudly, looking at the sky, intoxicated in her dream, and said softly: "The construction of the mansion is entirely up to Zuofu's own wishes, but it must be certain It will be built on Mingdao Island. Do you understand, Masami?"
"clear."
"It's best to start work after the administrative department rushes to Hakata, otherwise he may use some tricks."
"Yes, I understand." Chang Shuzhengjia was relieved.
After Masaiya withdrew, Mrs. Yodo was still very excited and kept shouting: "It seems that Masaika is also a wise man who cannot be underestimated. Sure enough, there is a way. In this way, Fushimi Castle will not be taken away by others, but will also be given to others. I am closer to Zuofu. You think so, Dazang?"
"Yes Yes."
"But there is something to be aware of."
"What's up?"
"The main family is wary of the management department. We must not ignore this."
"What the lady means is..."
"He had an idea in mind for a long time, but he was afraid of causing the misunderstanding of the administration, so he never dared to say it out... They share the same pursuit, and if they are wary of each other, it will definitely be bad. I think this is all because the administration is too harsh. Competitive, don’t you think so?”
The Ministry of Finance did not immediately respond. She also knew that Zhibu liked to be in the limelight and like to criticize others. However, she did not dare to rashly conclude that this was a flaw. What's more, when she said that Sancheng was ambitious, it caused confusion and doubts to Mrs. Yodo.
"Dazang, what's wrong with you? You seem to have doubts?"
"Madam, will this be a waste of effort and a waste of effort?"
"Are you talking about Mukojima?"
"Yes."
"Why are you wasting your efforts? Tell me your worries."
"If after the young master moves away, Zuofu still wants to go to the city..."
"oh?"
"If Zuofu really wants to enter the city, I'm afraid that even if Madam gives him a mansion in Xiangdao, Zuofu will still find various reasons to enter the city."
"You mean he will still come to town, right?"
"If that's the case, granting a residence to the family while His Royal Highness is away will probably only create an even more discordant atmosphere..." The Tibetan Bureau thought about it again and then said carefully.
"Stop talking!" Mrs. Yodo raised her eyebrows and said displeasedly: "Dazang, you are a woman after all."
"yes."
"How can you make a decision if you are so undecided? If you dare not make a bet when it's time to make a bet, you will achieve nothing."
"yes……"
"When it comes to the administration of the Ministry, you falsely claim that he has the ambition to replace Taige. When it comes to the Zuofu, you also deceive me and say that he has wanted to enter Fushimi Castle from the beginning. According to what you said, everyone in the world will Have you become the enemy of me and the young master?"
Mrs. Yodo's accusations left the Tibetan Bureau speechless. Yes, everyone in the world is an enemy, so please be careful - although she was full of uneasiness in her heart, she did not dare to speak out rashly.
"Call the Food Court here too..." Mrs. Dian hummed and smiled, and said: "Haha, even if the Food Court Bureau agrees with you, I can't change my mind. I have just stated that these are Taige's last words. It’s too late to regret now.”
Da Zangju suddenly turned pale. Mrs. Yodo is right. If you want to give advice, you can only do it before the main family withdraws, otherwise it will be meaningless.
Mrs. Yodo, who has always been competitive, regarded Masato's idea as a great idea, and for a moment even called it "Taiko's last words." If you make some useless complaints afterwards, it will only show your stupidity, and may even shake Mrs. Yoto's hard-earned decision.
"Madam, it seems that Dazang was overly concerned. I'm very sorry."
"I understand how you feel." Mrs. Yodo stared at the sky with her beautiful eyes, narrowing her eyes more and more, as if she was describing a beautiful dream, and said: "Dazang, please call the dining hall. I feel relaxed today, Your Highness. Already reduced to ashes.”
"Yes, life is really like a dream." Ozoju didn't seem to understand the true meaning of Mrs. Yodo's tone.
"From now on, everything is on our own."
"Madam, you are really neat and tidy in doing things. I have to study hard." After saying that, the Dazang Bureau stood up and said, "I will go and call the Shang Ting Bureau."
"Just wait, Dazang."
"Yes. Madam, do you have any other instructions?"
"The gloom of many days has been cleared away, and you and I can start living again. You ask the dining room to secretly bring some wine."
"Ah, wine?"
"Yes, a drink to celebrate our new life...the administrative department, the left government office, and the northern political office. All these troubles have been solved. Shouldn't we celebrate it?"
The Tibetan Bureau wanted to say something more, but he hesitated and went out. Madam is already the master of this city. Even if she goes too far, no one can stop her. There is no need to ruin her good mood...
Mrs. Dian stared at the sky with squinted eyes and remained silent for a long time.
If you look at it negatively, everything currently is disturbing, but no matter who it is, it will eventually turn into smoke and disappear without a trace... Thinking of this, she felt that life was really incredible. It is a life to be careful and scarred; it is a life to do as one pleases and be romantic and happy without looking at anyone's face...
Mrs. Yodo believed that her intelligence and courage were by no means inferior to those of the Hokkaido and Zuofu. There was only one person who restrained her wings, and that was Toyotomi Hideyoshi. But now that this person is gone, as the biological mother of Taige's heir, what should she fear?
Even if Tokugawa Ieyasu really wanted this city, wouldn't it be nice to give it to him happily? In the glass bathhouse that Hideyoshi built with contributions from the Satsuma Shimazu family and was proud of, why couldn't he be with another person... No, why couldn't he be accompanied by another person?
Mrs. Yodo felt her cheeks burning in her imagination. She looked around hurriedly. Everything was just an illusion.
On August 29th of the third year of Keicho, Ishida Mitsunari, accompanied by Asano Nagamasa and Mori Hidemoto, set out for Hakata.
It seemed that people couldn't wait for a long time. As soon as Mitsunari set off, more and more guests came to visit Fushimi Tokugawa Ieyasu's mansion. Not only the families of the generals who went to Korea, but also ministers and monks came with gifts. . Ieyasu treated these visitors as seriously as possible because he knew the purpose of their visit.
The world has changed hands... Everyone thought that Ieyasu would like to hear this, but in fact, nothing bothered Ieyasu more than this - it was for this reason that Mitsunari and Mrs. Yodo were suspicious of him.
However, Ieyasu believes that what needs to be done now is to avoid ostentation as much as possible to avoid unrest in people's hearts. Once rumors arise and spread to the Korean battlefield, it will bring disaster to the withdrawal of troops.
Once something goes wrong with North Korea's withdrawal, I am afraid that one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand Ming troops will land in Japan under the escort of the Sea Trade Alliance's overwhelming fleet...
Hidetada (Tokugawa Hidetada) has been to Misaki Castle several times. Not only did he see the city defense and coastal defense of Misaki Castle, he also participated in the military parade of the Misaki Castle garrison three times with the arrangement and accompaniment of Narita Kai, Gao Yunping, and Luo Yuan.
The military parade is divided into an Army parade and a Navy parade. The Army will display a total of eight major items, including artillery coverage, cavalry charge, and infantry advancement. The Navy will be simpler, mainly displaying artillery target ships and coastal fortifications. But no matter which one, according to Hidetada, "it is beyond the reach of our army."
Ieyasu knew the child Hidetada well. He might not be good at commanding due to lack of training, but his experience in the military for many years was by no means superficial. He would never misjudge whether an army was strong or weak - this In fact, it is not difficult. It just depends on whether they follow the orders and prohibitions, whether they are well-equipped, and whether they have high morale.
However, Ieyasu was a more cautious person than Hidetada, so he later asked Kanbaru Yasumasa and Honda Tadakatsu to pretend to be Hidetada's followers and go to see Hidetada again together. These two people, as two of the so-called "Four Tokugawa Kings" in later generations, also gave almost exactly the same answer to Ieyasu as Hidetada.
According to Kanbaru Yasumasa, "The Akito's fine cavalry cannot be broken, and the Korean armies were not unjustly defeated." Honda Tadakatsu believed that the artillery advantage of the Misaki Castle garrison was too great, unless Iyin Chibei could defeat the Akito cavalry. Then destroy the opponent's artillery, otherwise "no army can withstand that level of shelling."
Kanbaru Yasumasa and Honda Tadakatsu were actually a little jealous of Iein Naomasa, who was a rising star and was highly appreciated and used by Ieyasu. After Ieyasu was transferred to Kanto, Iein Naomasa was the youngest of several generals. Obtained a fief of 120,000 shi.
The two of them deliberately said in their evaluation, "Unless Iyin Chibei can destroy the opponent's artillery after defeating Akito's cavalry," naturally they can't say they have any good intentions - Lord, you see, we can't defeat the Misaki Guards. The main disadvantage is the cavalry. It can't be defeated. If the cavalry can defeat it, it will also wipe out another major reliance of the opponent.
Therefore, the problem lies with him, Yin Naozheng! [Note: The word "Akabei" originally came from Takeda, and later became synonymous with elite cavalry. However, Iyin Naomasa's Iyin Chibei is indeed the elite cavalry of the Tokugawa family. For this reason, Iyin Naomasa himself often serves as the flag bearer of Tokugawa Ieyasu. Vanguard appears on the battlefield. ]
However, Ieyasu had no special reaction to this and just said: "Konishi Yukinaga was knocked out of his soul by the Ming cavalry in just one battle. Even Kato Kiyomasa said it was best not to fight with the Ming cavalry in the field.
I heard that the Ming army had completely defeated Mongolia before the Battle of Wenlu. It was not surprising that the Akabi of my Tokugawa family could not compare with such cavalry. This is because horses are inferior to people, not that people are inferior to people. "
