When you smile at someone you don't like, it must be because of profit.

Three days later, at noon, I met Tokugawa Ieyasu, the man who had finally unified Toei, in the courtyard of the seaside mansion in Suruga no Machi.

It can be said that before I met Tokugawa Ieyasu, I didn't like him; And when I met him, I knew I was right.

Japan's "Three Heroes" of the Warring States Period - Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu. Among these three, who is the favorite of the Dongying people throughout the ages?

I can say unceremoniously that the most popular is Oda Nobunaga in the first place, because he has a strong personality and is a person who can stir people's hearts. followed by Toyosei Hideyoshi, who started from scratch and created a miracle; As for Tokugawa Ieyasu, this one is more complicated, and people from all walks of life love and hate Tokugawa Ieyasu, but the basic tendency can still be attributed to dislike.

Why not? In my opinion, Tokugawa Ieyasu is the first hypocrite in the history of Toei!

He pretended to be a sheep in front of Oda Nobunaga and a sheep in front of Toyosei Hideyoshi. However, after Nobunaga's death, Tokugawa Ieyasu changed his face and immediately extended a black hand to the heir of the big brother who had once worshipped! Although it was attempted, its heart can be punished! And after the death of Toyosei Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu not only completely bared his fangs and usurped his position of power, but also killed the Toyosei family!

Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered an allusion - it is said that Osaka has always had a magical non-governmental organization called the "Ieyasu Cursing Association", and the only function of this organization is that everyone meets regularly to curse and scold Tokugawa Ieyasu.

It's understandable that the people of Osaka don't like Tokugawa Ieyasu - it's just that Ieyasu usurped Hideyoshi's power, and even brutally cut off Hideyoshi's offspring, and even his eight-year-old grandson Kunimatsumaru was beheaded! The Battle of Osaka, where Tokugawa Ieyasu unified Toei, was actually a slaughter of one side! The people of Osaka will never forget that after the fall of Osaka Castle, more than 14,000 heads were cut off by Tokugawa Ieyasu alone! The purpose is to cut off all hidden dangers that may pose a threat to yourself!

And Tokugawa Ieyasu has a cruel and eccentric personality, and he has an absolute mucodepressive temperament. The weight of suspicion is outrageous!

Under the tatami mat where he slept every day, he ordered his subordinates to seal it with wooden boards, for fear that assassins would lurk and assassinate him.

After every portion of food is cooked, it must be roasted over a fire to prevent anyone from poisoning it.

He never touched those unknown women, not because he was of high character, but because he was afraid of syphilis, and the women he touched started from familiar people......

It is his specialty to endure not firing every time OOXX, because he is afraid of losing his vitality.

In the years before his death, he summoned a young girl to sleep with him every night, not for the sake of physical relations, but to follow the advice of the witch, and wanted to absorb the youthful energy of the girl, so as to restore his own spirit.

I don't know if there is a theoretical basis for this method, but it is a fact that Tokugawa Ieyasu is indeed energetic and has to admit that he also gave birth to a descendant Lai Xuan with the side room at the age of sixty-one, and gave birth to a daughter Ichihime at the age of sixty-six......

The longest-lived family of the Tokugawa shogun was the fifteenth shogun Keiki, who was seventy-seven years old. The second is Ieyasu, who is seventy-five years old.

Before and after his death, he named himself "Tosho Okami", which corresponds to the emperor "Amaterasu Okami". And Toyosei Hideyoshi, who was posthumously named the "Great Myojin of Toyokuni", took back his title of Great Myojin after Tokugawa Ieyasu destroyed the Toyotomi family, and Ieyasu also sent people to climb the Higashiyama Amitabha Peak in Kyoto, destroyed the Toyotomi tombstone, and did not even leave the "godhead" to Hideyoshi......

He is such a person, the most hypocritical, mean, cruel, and shameless person in the history of Dongying. For him, there is no distance and poetry in life, only what is in front of him.

And this stubborn man, sitting across from me with dignity, well, five meters away, more than twice the maximum distance that * can attack.

There was an iron screen behind him, probably for fear of being shot......

There were samurai sitting not far to the left and right, and of course, Hattori Hanzo was also sitting behind him, and the only front was left for me, so to speak, it was a posture of full attention and safety.

I don't know why, but even though he came to the appointment at the time and place I said, it still gave me a very uncomfortable feeling. That feels...... Well, it's like riding a bicycle and having a fly in your mouth and having nowhere to rinse your mouth after spitting it out......

However, for the sake of the big picture, I can only make a calm face.

To be honest, how to talk about it with Tokugawa Ieyasu, I don't want to recall. All in all, he just kept asking how sure I was that I could fight against the tiger of Hideyoshi Hashiba.

So I took him into the army and asked him what he could offer. Or just think about reaping the benefits! If that's the case, then it's better not to waste this time negotiating and do your own thing!

But Tokugawa Ieyasu was unwilling, he didn't want to give up such a big opportunity in front of him.

In the end, I had a showdown, and I said, "The situation is clear. If Tokugawa Suruga Mamoru is willing to join, then it will naturally be a blessing for the world, and after the matter is completed, whether it is Shibata or the forces involved in the parties, there will inevitably be a difference. If it is unintentional, then it is all said below. As for how to meet after the fall of Hideyoshi, let's look at the fortune over there! ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu finally showed his fox tail and made his request: "Mr. Sun, please bring my request to Shibata - if I send troops, or at least pretend to contain Hashiba Hideyoshi behind my back, then after the matter is completed, you must assist me to fight against the Hojo clan and divide Hideyoshi's territory - the Ise region belongs to me, and the eastern part of Nara should also be included in my jurisdiction!" ”

Hearing this, I understood his thoughts—he wanted to take jurisdiction over Ise and eastern Nara at the lowest cost, and tie us to his chariot to deal with the Hojo clan who looked down on him in the east. And his ally, the head of Chomune's tribe, was given the territory of western Nara. As for Shibata Katsuya, they worked hard and could only get the land around.

I have to say that this is a very wishful thinking. But what's my business? To be honest, I'm not interested in Tokugawa Ieyasu, Shibata Katsuie, and any other Changzong and my head relatives, all I want is their dog-eat-dog, a mouthful of hair, it's best for one person to fall into a disability, no one is able to unify, it's the best!

In fact, there are deeper reasons, if I have nothing in my heart, there is a kind of sympathy and guilt for Hideyoshi - how many unknown sufferings he has suffered from scratch to now, how many intolerable sins he has suffered, and he has gradually gone from a miscellaneous soldier who does not even have a surname to today's status, relying on nothing else, relying on his own efforts!

And I want to deprive him of the fruits of his efforts, although I am for the sake of national righteousness, but what right do I have to put my will above him? I'm from the future, and I have the most powerful plug-in - history textbooks! It's not fair to Hideyoshi!

In particular, I have to work with so many people I don't like at all, to deal with someone who is working hard and hard, and to be honest, I actually feel very uncomfortable.

He agreed to bring his requirements to Shibata Katsuie, and we ended our meeting. To be honest, it's a bit anticlimactic, but I really don't want to face this old fox again, and every conversation with him makes me feel like I'm stepping on a cloud, and I never find a sense of being grounded.

Negotiating with him made me feel like a waste of time, and this was not felt by Shimazu Yoshihisa, Otomo Sorin, and others, but only him, the person who finally unified Toei, could this be a real politician? Is this the real strategy? Only then can you laugh at the end?

I suddenly remembered that in the Ming Dynasty, those officials poured into each other, weren't they also so kind and ruthless? Maybe only in this way can we survive, grow, and be proud of the rivers and lakes on such a dark soil!

When I left Suruga, I was very depressed. I can't say why, probably because of disappointment with reality. Before I came here, I always felt that Hideyoshi Hashiba was evil and deserved to be defeated. Only by defeating him can we save the people from fire and water, and only in this way can we make him powerless to invade other countries and give Daming more respite.

But as time went on, I realized more and more that I was wrong. The so-called national righteousness is nothing more than the truth given to him by the superiors. As a human being, what right do I have to deprive a fighter of the right to struggle?

I drank silently, as I had never done before. My friends knew I was in a bad mood and didn't want to bother me, including Kite, who probably thought men should have their own space.

After a while, someone sat down next to me and accompanied me with a wine glass. When I look back, I don't regret it.

So I smiled wryly and touched my glass with no regrets.

I put down my glass without regret and was silent for a while before I said: "When I was young, my grandfather once told me that when you can't find your way, go ahead!" ”

After that, he filled me and himself with wine.

Moving forward? It's a simple statement, but it seems to be true!

What's the use of hesitating, sad again, crying again, get up tomorrow to wipe away tears, wash your face, and go to work the same.

Instead of thinking about it yourself, it's better to keep your feet on the ground and move forward! Do your own thing, go your own way, why think too much?

Didn't I have a pact with Hideyoshi? Then the winner will be decided!

Suddenly, I felt empowered again! I looked at it gratefully, picked up the cup, and touched it hard with the smiling one!

Don't hesitate anymore and move forward!
