    After inviting Tokugawa Ieyasu and Ishida Mitsunari, his two confidants, out of Osaka, it stands to reason that Hideho could finally calm down and deal with government affairs, but this was not the case.  After this battle, Hideho has slowly begun to establish his dominance in Japan.  Militarily, Hideho maintained an absolute advantage by relying on his own strength and allies deployed in various places; politically, he controlled the center of the Toyotomi regime in the name of Hideyori Hinami, which was also unshakable; economically, he relied on  The huge Ishigawa monopoly on Kankai trade has left the Toyotomi clan and other daimyo far behind.  But even under such a situation, there are still some noises from time to time inside and outside Osaka. This is mainly due to the fact that Hideho completely abolished the Tailao system.  In fact, Hideho's initial talks with Maeda Tosimasa, Ukita Hideie, and Asano Nagamasa were rather vague. He only explicitly abolished the joint meeting of elders and elders, but still retained the duties of the above three elders and elders. In a certain sense, the elders were still allowed to do so.  The old system survives.  However, as the situation gradually became favorable to Hideho, and in order to eliminate the threat to himself from the "uncertain factor" of the Ukita Hideke family, he felt a sudden change in his heart and simply abolished the system that had lasted for nearly three years.  Instead, there was "Seven Divisions, Nine Cao and Twelve Systems" carefully concocted by Hideho and his retainers.  Looking back at the development of the Kamakura shogunate, Muromachi shogunate and even the Toyotomi regime, the person in the highest position of power was often replaced by the force that he most relied on and trusted in the early days: the Hojo clan, the wife of Minamoto Yoritomo, took charge of the shogunate with the position of "executing power"  Great power; the "three managers and four officials" who made great contributions to the establishment of the shogunate by Ashikaga Takauji, but the "Onin Rebellion" sounded the death knell for the Muromachi shogunate; the elders and elders who were humble and respectful when Toyotomi Hideyoshi was alive  , turned into a man-eating tiger in the blink of an eye, tearing the Toyotomi clan's world to pieces.  In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, Hideho must formulate a new system that is completely different from the past.  ¡°You can have power, but you cannot have exclusive power.¡± During the meeting, Todo Takatora¡¯s words reminded Hideyasu: Now that the situation is great, why not follow the Ming Dynasty across the ocean and strengthen centralization in one fell swoop?  After many days and nights of discussion and planning, with reference to the historical development process of China and Japan, and combined with Japan's current reality, Hideho finally made the final decision, and the "Seven Divisions and Nine Cao System" came into being.  The Seven Divisions, as the nominally highest administrative agency of the Toyotomi regime, originated from the decomposition and refinement of the five executive functions. The powerful daimyo Fushimi served as the highest chief "sibu". It mainly includes the following seven parts: Wuwei Division: Toyotomi  The highest military agency of the regime, responsible for the recruitment of the army nationwide; Chief Secretary: the highest civil affairs agency of the Toyotomi regime, responsible for civil affairs across the country, the most important ones are the appointment and dismissal of acting officials in various places, the approval of changes in the family elders of famous people, and  Follow-up matters regarding the imperial examination that are about to be carried out; The Toyotomi Division: the highest judicial authority of the Toyotomi regime, in charge of national criminal decrees and review of criminal names; The Toshiji Division: in charge of national land, taxes, salaries, food and wages, and financial revenue and expenditures; The Hy¨­rei Division: in charge  Responsible for liaison with the royal family in matters related to temple sacrifices, mausoleum rituals and music, as well as manufacturing and maintenance matters; Camping and Repair Department: in charge of national engineering affairs, and all requests for city repairs in various places must be submitted to it for approval in accordance with regulations; Exploration and Cooperation Department: in charge of overseas trade, headed by Hideho  Directly appoint daimyo to serve concurrently.  Jiucao, as the policy implementation and communication agency directly under Hideho, is similar to the Cao subordinates in the prime minister's palace in the Han Dynasty. It directly obeys Hideho's orders and is responsible for submitting the decisions and suggestions of the Seven Divisions to Hideho for final decision-making. It has the right to guide and advise on the policies of the Seven Divisions.  In terms of power, Xiu Baopu served as the highest official "Cao Yu" on behalf of his retainers.  Although it is only Hideho's private organization in name, it has actually become an important force in suppressing and weakening the Seventh Division.  It mainly includes the following nine parts: Bingcao: also known as Dongcao, the final review and approval of military deployment, the planning and supervision of the military strength under the daimyo, and the docking with the Wuwei Department; Licao: also known as Xicao, the acting official of each place and the elder of the daimyo family.  The final review and approval of changes, linked to the Chief Secretary; City Cao: Responsible for the maintenance of public security in cities across the country (with dedicated military forces), the final review and approval of the construction of daimyo castle towns, linked to the Chief Secretary; Xing Cao: The final review and approval of criminal law decrees  Approval, docking with the Metropolitan Inspectorate; Hucao: final review and approval of household registration and military supplies, docking with the branch office; Tax Cao: final review and approval of tax collection and treasury, policy formulation, docking with the branch office;  The director is in charge of connecting with the royal family and temples, and has a close relationship with the "Wu family biography", and is connected with the Bingli Department; Gong Cao: the final review and approval of project construction and city general requests in various places, and is connected with the Camp and Repair Department; Supervisor Cao: responsible for the behavior of acting officials and daimyo in various places  Supervise and record, promptly report and take measures against those with misconduct and bad intentions, do not contact the department, and the specific personnel composition is unknown.    To sum up, it can be seen that the seven-level system is the inheritance of the previous system pursued by the elders, and the status is roughly the same as before. The nine-level officials are all directly subordinate to Hideho. Although they are independent from the Toyotomi regime, they have the final decision-making power.  .  The profound meaning is self-evident, which is to further transfer the power held by the Toyotomi clan to the Yamato Toyotomi clan, so as to avoid the recurrence of powerful daimyo occupying the center and coercing the emperor to control the princes.  Based on this purpose, Hideho determined the first batch of candidates for the judges and Cao Ren: ??Buweiji: Kato Kiyomasa; Chief Secretary: Maeda Toshimasa; Metropolitan Inspector: Ukita Hideie; Toshiji: Asano Nagamasa; Hoireishi:  Katagiri Yuan; Camp and Maintenance Department: Ikeda Terumasa; Surveying and Construction Department: Goto Motoji.  Military officer: Shima Kiyoki; official officer: Todo Takatora; city officer: Nasu Shikichi; prison officer: Fukushima Takayoshi; household officer: Ogasawara Tadake; tax officer: Kuwayama Kazuharu; memorial officer: Nagasuke Masaika;  Engineer: Katsuchika Takeda; Supervisor: Hidemasa Asai.  In addition, in order to better implement the central government's policies to various places and prevent the Seventh Division from concealing its power, Hideho also successively set up various departments under the Seventh Division such as granting, security, official channels, temples, general invitations, forging money, etc.  Twelve posts, including tribute examination, inspection envoy, ministerial service, guard, construction camp, and accommodation, select close retainers and old and important ministers close to famous people to serve as executive officers, responsible for the actual implementation of policies, and timely feedback on the implementation status to Qi Si and Jiu Cao  . ??????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out of the "seven divisions, nine cao and twelve agencies" system implemented by the elders, was officially implemented in the second year of the Battle of Aizu, that is, the first month of the sixth year of Keicho, under the strong pressure of Hideho.  The judge and Cao Peng had properly arranged their affairs and moved to Fushimi Castle to work. The twelve ministers also came to Fushimi one after another in the following three months to accept Hideho's appointment and arrangements.  Some people say that the "Seven Divisions, Nine Cao and Twelve Institutes" is an overthrow of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's system and a powerful measure for Hideho to strengthen his own power; others say that Hideho still took into account the face of the Toyotomi clan, and Seven  Except for Goto Motoji, all the judges among the judges are daimyo who have been favored by Taikaku, and the twelve bureaus are still headed by "commitment", which can be regarded as retaining the position of "commitment" in disguise, and it can be regarded as a benefit to the clan and Owari sect.  Account.  But in fact, the twelve principles here are nothing compared to the five principles that once held the central power and could mobilize thousands of troops. The duties of the principles have also changed from active decision-making and command to passive execution.  .  Not only that, nominally the Seventh Division replaced the position held by the elders and became the new decision-making body. However, under the suppression and restraint of Jiucao and Twelve Divisions, their power was greatly restricted and weakened.  Especially as Hideho's influence in various places continued to deepen and consolidate, Kuso's power was greatly enhanced. The Twelve Institutes supported by Hideho also obeyed the Seventh Division and gradually changed from accepting the orders of the Seventh Division to accepting Hideho's direct leadership.  Therefore, in the later period, the power of the Seventh Division gradually shrank, and its functions changed from a decision-making body to a consulting body, almost becoming a dispensable existence. Many judges felt that they could not do anything after staying in Fushi, so they applied to Hideho to return to their territory.  As a result, vacancies often appeared in the Seventh Division, which accelerated the decline of the Seventh Division and promoted the growth of Hideho's power.  In the middle, although Katagiri Yuan and others insisted on maintaining the authority of the Seventh Division, the situation was over, and it was difficult to improve in the end.  Of course, these are all things for later. At least when the "Seven Divisions, Nine Cao and Twelve Institutes" were first established, they were still recognized by both the Toyotomi clan and the great names in various places. After all, there were lessons learned from the past, and no one wanted another one to appear.  The emergence of national policies and institutions that vacate the clan, and the decentralization of power in this way, are mostly seen as a last resort when the clan is weak.  Few people realize that behind this system is the further expansion of Hideho's power. The decision-making power formerly controlled by the five elders and the fifth boss is being subtly transferred to Hideho alone. At the same time, the undercurrent behind him seems to be getting stronger.  .
