豊臣秀次君の遺館を豊臣主より我が国祖へ賜り、豊臣秀頼君の守護を頼まれる。自注に云う「按ずるに、新川郡を賜るを坊本多くは文禄三年とするは非なり。これは今年七月秀次君生害に付き、豊臣主より国祖へ秀頼君の守護を頼まれるによって、秀次君の遺領美濃・尾張・伊勢の三国を国祖へ賜う。一本にはこれに三河・伊賀を加えて五国とす。然るに石田〔三成〕・増田〔長盛〕これを阻み支うるにより、代わりとして秀次君の屋形と新川一郡とを賜う」と云々。
右の伝説は区々として、旧藩中の諸記録に明証無き故に、諸旧記の載する所一概ならざるか。
一、平次按ずるに、越中国新川郡明日山法福寺の貞享二年の由来書に云う「天正年中、佐々内蔵助富山に在城す。豊太閤征伐のため出馬し御福山に居陣の頃、祈祷の御札・神酒等を住持僧が持参し呈上し奉る処、その砌り内蔵助降参す。これに依って甚だ御感有り、本尊観音の燈明田として百俵の地を御寄進なり。然る処その後利家卿御両〔領〕に相成り、燈明田を召し上げられ、坊主共百姓並びに諸役相勤む。文禄年中太閤高麗陣御出勢の頃、住持僧高麗の役夫に当たらんと、伏見に罷り越し、香蔵主を以って御理を申し上ぐる処、先規の燈明田寄附の儀、香蔵主より通達有り。これに依って文
英語訳
Toyotomi Hideugu's residual mansion was granted by the Toyotomi lord to our domain founder, and [the founder] was entrusted with the protection of Lord Hideyori. The author's note states: "Upon examination, many manuscripts record that Niikawa District was granted in Bunroku 3, but this is incorrect. This was because in the 7th month of this year, following Lord Hideugu's forced suicide, the Toyotomi lord entrusted our domain founder with the protection of Lord Hideyori, and was to grant the three provinces of Mino, Owari, and Ise as Hideugu's former domains to our domain founder. One manuscript adds Mikawa and Iga to make it five provinces. However, because Ishida [Mitsunari] and Masuda [Nagamori] obstructed and prevented this, instead Hideugu's mansion and the single district of Niikawa were granted," and so forth.
These various legends differ, and since there is no clear evidence in the various records of the former domain, perhaps what the various old records record is not uniform.
One, according to my [Heiji's] examination, the historical record of Hōfuku Temple at Asukeyama in Niikawa District, Etchu Province, from Jōkyō 2 states: "During the Tenshō years, Sassa Naizen-no-suke [Narimasa] was stationed at Toyama Castle. When Taikō [Hideyoshi] dispatched troops for conquest and established camp at Ofukuyama, the head priest brought prayer tablets, sacred sake, and other items to present them. At that time, Naizen-no-suke surrendered. Because of this, [Hideyoshi] was greatly pleased and donated 100 hyō of land as lamp-lighting fields for the main deity Kannon. However, afterward when Lord Toshiie came to rule the domain, the lamp-lighting fields were confiscated, and the priests served as farmers and performed various duties alongside them. During the Bunroku years when Taikō dispatched troops for the Korean campaign, the head priest was to serve as a laborer for the Korean campaign, so he traveled to Fushimi and through Kō-zōsu made a petition. Regarding the previous precedent of donating lamp-lighting fields, there was notification from Kō-zōsu. Therefore, Bun-
