In addition to the arrangement of the official position, Hideyoshi also gave me a lot of benefits.

For example, the right to use the port and wharf in Hizen Province, such as the large villa in Kyoto, and the right to tax relief in Toei.

These are all things that are hard to come by in Toei, and Hideyoshi's ability to show them shows that he is showing his sincerity to me and to others.

And this sincerity will eventually be fed back to his son, Toyotomi Hideyori, there is no doubt about it.

But really, every time he gives me something, it makes me feel like the burden on my shoulders is a little heavier.

It's not what I want because I'm afraid of trouble. But the situation in front of me is obviously something I can't hide, so I can only continue to move forward, there is no other way.

Since it's here, let's come, anyway, it's many years later, and what will be the situation at that time, who knows?

However, as long as I have the ability to help my own son, then I will definitely help him.

In fact...... There is also a way once and for all, even if I can't come back from the West by then, I can still let Xiu Lai sit firmly in his place!

As for that solution...... Let's start with the history of the unification of the Warring States of Dongying - the three heroes of the Warring States of Dongying.

The first to bear the brunt of nature is Oda Nobunaga, self-proclaimed "Sixth Heavenly Demon King", starting from Owari Aichi, from the big fool known as Owari to the unified Owari, defeating Imagawa Yoshimoto through the Battle of Barrel Sasa, stabilizing the rear with the Kiyoshu Alliance, Mino Raiders, the world Buwu, Kamiraku supporting the new shogunate, and breaking the Nobunaga siege network twice, and the power reached its peak!

Later in his career, his power controlled the political and cultural core of Toei, mainly in the region, and made the Oda clan the most powerful daimyo in the mid-to-late Warring States period.

However, he was later betrayed by his subordinate general Akechi Mitsuhide, and his soul was ruined by Honnoji Temple, and the Oda clan collapsed.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi took advantage of Nobunaga's death to ascend to the throne, and according to the original history, after he defeated Shibata Katsuya in the Battle of Shidake, the journey to unify the East began to be in full swing. It's just that my appearance in this life has blocked his smooth reunification, but now he is back on track.

However, it is a pity that Hideyoshi's ability to raise a successor is indeed limited, and his child Toyotomi Hideyori is not enough to compete with his father in all aspects, and this also caused the death of the Toyotomi family, and Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was turned into gold by a hundred people, finally reaped the fruits of victory.

Tokugawa Ieyasu's life was a life of patience, and he was the younger brother of others for fifty years. First the Imagawa family, then the Oda family, and finally the Toyotomi family, but he was the one who had the last laugh.

The descendants of Tokugawa Ieyasu have been in the peaceful world for more than 200 years, which is unprecedented in the history of Toei, and this glorious history is inseparable from Ieyasu's patience, even if Nobunaga asked Ieyasu's eldest son to cut himself Ieyasu endured, so he won the final victory.

And the future that Hideyoshi gave me was for me to face Tokugawa Ieyasu, who no longer had patience after his death!

Maybe Hideyoshi doesn't know the future like me, but he must have his own ability to perceive the world, so he entrusted me alone, in fact, he left a back hand for himself, and also wanted to leave an evergreen cash cow for his children and grandchildren.

So should I really take this pot? Can I catch this pot?

On marching battles, on patience, on deep roots, I am not Tokugawa Ieyasu's opponent, so where is my advantage?

I think it's just in my perception of the future, and ...... I am still hidden in the shadows relative to Tokugawa Ieyasu!

In other words, am I supposed to ...... Strike first!

While Tokugawa Ieyasu has not come back to his senses, while he is still enduring his one-third of an acre of land, start in advance and eliminate hidden dangers!

I gently groped for the oni cut that Hideyoshi had given me, and I thought about it.

If I take out Tokugawa Ieyasu right now! That...... Won't it be much less trouble in the future?

Sitting in the room, thinking about Hideyoshi's expression in the main hall, imagining what might happen in the future, I involuntarily pushed the blade away from the scabbard, and gently retracted, pushed away, and retracted again. The scabbard collided with the hilt, making a slight "click" sound, and I didn't even notice it.

And my gaze slowly swept over the map on the wall, and the focus of my pupils was focused on the area around Mikawa Sunfu, silently silent.

"What are you thinking, sir?" It was the kite who came in the door, followed by the nine ghosts Zhengxiao: "Zhengxiao said that he has basically recovered, and he will come back to report!" ”

I put down the ghost cut in my hand and looked at the nine ghosts Masataka. His complexion was not bad, his complexion was ruddy, and he looked like he had gained a lot of weight.

"Coming back?" I smiled.

The Nine Ghosts Zhengxiao glanced at the ghost in my hand, and his face showed a look of surprise, and then he saluted me and said, "Yes!" Mr! Thank you for your treatment, I have recovered. It's just a shame that I couldn't keep the old gentleman......"

I glanced at the sad kite next to me, shook my head and sighed, "No! It's not your fault, you've done your best. Under the circumstances, it was a blessing in misfortune that you were able to evacuate with them! And...... I'm revenge too! ”

The Nine Ghosts nodded silently, and then raised his head at random and asked, "Sir, I heard that Hideyoshi has the intention of entrusting you to be alone!" Is that so? ”

I nodded, "Yes, he does." Masataka, I know that Iga and the Oda clan have an inextricable blood feud, but Hideyoshi is not deeply involved, and after so many years, how big the feud and how much hatred should be unraveled, right? ”

The Nine Ghosts knew that I was afraid that he would have a knot, so he made this explanation, and immediately replied movingly: "No! That's not what I meant, sir. ”

He was obviously a little uncomfortable with my explanation, and immediately said quickly: "I was just thinking, Hideyoshi is currently in the prime of life, why did he make such a gesture to support orphans?" Is it ......?"

As he spoke, his eyes kept looking at the ghost cut in my hand. I smiled and handed Oni to him, "I guess you know this knife!" ”

The Nine Ghost Zhengxiao was startled, and with some sincere fear, he took the ghost cut I handed over, and gently pulled it out a little, and suddenly the cold light was shining! Excited, Zhengxiao "choked" and pulled out the ghost cut and looked at the sun.

"If you like it, I'll give it to you, I'll use it for a long time anyway." I smiled. For this loyal general, I don't mind using a heavy treasure to win his heart.

"Nope! That's absolutely not going to work! The Nine Ghosts hurriedly inserted the ghost cut back into the scabbard and handed it back to me with both hands: "This is something that can only be used by the supreme, I can't afford it!" Sir, take it back! ”

I looked at him and suddenly felt a little funny. took the ghost cut back, thought about it for a while and then said, "Since you don't want this ghost cut, then I'll keep it and get used to it slowly." I've been using the boy cut for you, and the knife is pretty handy. ”

The Nine Ghosts Masaki understood that a martial artist could only use one knife at a time. Because you have to adapt to a series of parameters such as its weight, length, arc, etc., if you take two at the same time, it will not be beautiful.

As for the general samurai, there are two swords, one long and one short, what is the short rib difference for? When you have a caesarean section, you will naturally know it......

The Nine Ghosts did not refuse again, but I handed it to his boy Che, happily pulled it back and forth a few times, and then hung it on his waist, and then asked, "Sir, then how are you going to help Toyotomi Hideyori?" After all, Hideyoshi is still there now. ”

I knew that the Nine Demons had a deep understanding of the situation in Dongying, so I asked, "From what you see, who are the people who may pose a threat to Shuyori in the future?" ”

The Nine Ghosts pondered silently for a moment before he raised his head, his eyes shining with wisdom: "Mr. must have made up his mind in his heart, but he wants to test me!" ”

I smiled and replied, "Just take it as a test for you, you say!" ”

The Nine Ghosts Masataka nodded and replied slowly: "Kai's Takeda clan and Echigo's Uesugi clan have all declined, so they shouldn't pose much of a threat to the Toyotomi family." ”

I said "um" and motioned for him to continue, and the nine ghosts Masataka thought about it again, and said in a deep voice: "The Mori clan of Aki and the Hojo clan of Sagami are both regional hegemons, and they want to dominate the world, but they are far behind. ”

After saying that, he remembered something again, and continued to add: "The Date family of Okuwa has produced a strong Date Masamune, but after all, the family is weak and it is difficult to get out of the local area, which is similar to the Shimazu family in Kyushu, and the Nagamune Ibe family of Shikoku, the same. ”

I chuckled, "So ......"

"So." The Nine Ghosts Masataka said firmly: "There are only two people who can threaten Toyotomi Hideyori in the future. ”

"One, it's inside the Toyotomi family." The nine ghosts Masataka said categorically: "Kuroda Rushui is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the reason why he is honest is that he is afraid of Toyotomi Hideyoshi." ”

I nodded and said, "You have a point, but on the other hand?" ”

Nine Ghost Zhengxiao smiled, a little embarrassed: "Actually, there is another aspect that I can't say, because this person is so low-key that everyone ignores his existence!" ”

My heart moved, it seems that my number one staff officer is really a man of insight, and from his words alone, I know that he understands the current situation.

So I pointed to the map, and the nine ghosts smiled, walked to the map, and pointed heavily at the location of Mikawa with his finger!

Mikawa is the fiefdom of Tokugawa Ieyasu!

I couldn't help but pretend to groan: "If it's this old turtle, what good way do you have to deal with him?" After all, he was too cunning to slip his hands. ”

The Nine Ghosts seemed to have thought of something, and gritted his teeth slightly: "Sir, to solve this problem, I think it is better to solve it sooner rather than later!" ”

"Sooner rather than later?" I pretended I didn't understand.

The Nine Ghosts Zhengxiao made a false criticism in the air with his hand, and his eyes showed a fierce light!

I glanced at the Nine Ghosts Masataka deeply and didn't make a sound. It seems that we are really the same kind of people, thinking about problems together.

It's just that I really want to change history in such a simple and crude way? The next 200 years will change because of this.

Revolutionize it.

Is it really the right thing to do? I couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
