After seeing Gao Hu leave, Xiubao sorted out his emotions for a while, and said solemnly to Yang Fangheng and the others: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have just received an order from Taiko, in order to welcome the mission, Fushimi is undergoing extensive repairs, and it is temporarily inconvenient to enter and exit, so I hope you can take a short rest here and set off for the east after the project is completed." ”

"Lord Hideyoshi is too polite, we are just an envoy, there is no need to work to mobilize the people, and please report our thoughts to the truth, in my opinion, there is no need to stay here." Yang Fangheng bowed to greet him, in his opinion, although he is a special envoy of Tianchao and has a noble status, if he can be sympathetic to the feelings of the people of the foreign domain and approachable, he can better reflect the demeanor of a great country, and at the same time can also increase the probability of success in peace talks.

"Could it be that the noble envoy thinks that the city is too small to accommodate such a big Buddha?" Mr. Laidaotong said coldly, "Taige's order cannot be changed, you will be safe when you come, so let's stay here in the island city first." ”

"Izumo Shouxiu should be so rude," Xiubao looked at Yang Fangheng's bitter gourd face and hurriedly comforted: "Lord Yang is also kind when he says this, how can we, as the host, be so domineering, but Lord Yang, since Taige said it, it is not allowed for anyone to refute, and please think more about us, just rest here for a few days." ”

Mr. Tong and Xiubao sang red face and white face, Yang Fangheng was sandwiched in the middle, and his face was constantly changing like a kaleidoscope, but he finally understood the meaning of the words, that is, he had to stay here no matter what, Xiubao just gave himself a step: "Okay, since Lord Ping is so insistent, it will be disrespectful in the next place, do you have any opinions on Lord Huang and Lord Park?" ”

"Look at what you said," Huang Shen said with a smile: "Lord Yang has no opinion, how dare you say no, everything is up to your lordship." ”

"In that case, you will come with me into the city." Lai Dao Tong always walked straight to the front of the crowd, swaggering towards the castle town, of course, this pirate daimyo is still respectful to Hideho, specially prepared for him, the elder brother has to Ju Tongnian and the third brother Murakami Tongqing to divide the service, the family soldiers followed, it can be regarded as giving enough face, and then look at Yang Fangheng and others, walking at the end of the team with a disgraced face, completely losing the momentum of the envoys of the great powers, and even the lower-level samurai who came to the island family did not take them in their eyes, pushing and pushing along the way, and the scene was almost the same as parade in the streets.

After the mission was properly settled, Hideho once again found Mr. Tong, not for anything else, but for sympathy, this Izumo Mamoru who came to the island next year will die with his brother Totsu Nian, and die Ming Lianghai, achieving his prestige as "the only daimyo who died in battle in the battle of Bunroku and Keichō".

"His Royal Highness is invited, and I am really flattered by my humble position." Mr. Tong said excitedly.

"Izumo is too humble, you have been fighting with the stick water army for many years, and you must have a deep understanding of its tactics and equipment, and it is precisely for this reason that you are here." Hideho's attitude was still respectful.

"Your Highness doesn't want to be sarcastic," Mr. Tong said with a bitter face, "Although we have been fighting for many years, we have never won a sea battle, and in the early stage of the armistice, we even retreated in the port of Busan and did not dare to attack, for fear of being annihilated by the North Korean naval army, how dare I teach you experience in such a performance." ”

"Is the North Korean Navy really so fierce?" Xiu looked at Mr. Tong in surprise, if he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he really thought that those records were all.

"Fierce? Hmph, how can they compare with my brothers in terms of fierceness, but the equipment of our army is not as good. Mr. Tong's face gradually changed, and his eyes were full of contempt and disdain.

"Equipment? You're referring to the Stick Army's tortoiseshell ships, right? "Hideho had already learned something about the tortoiseshell ship from Hidemoto, so he wasn't surprised to hear that Mr. Tong said that.

"Now that His Highness knows, there is nothing to say about his humble duties," Mr. Tong said angrily: "The tactics of the fresh soldiers are to first use artillery to bombard our ships indiscriminately, and then use strong ships to impact our fleet, disrupt the formation, and by the way, rely on the strong hull and strong firepower to suppress the whole process, and finally leave a full wreckage to fly away, you say, this can be reversed by tactics?" ”

"Isn't it just a 'strong ship and a cannon'?" Combined with the views of Hidewon and Tsu Zong, Hideho finally summed up the reason why Yi Sunsin was able to suppress the Japanese naval army.

"Apart from this, I really can't think of any other reason that could lead to the crushing defeat of our army." Mr. Tong said affirmatively.

"In that case, I won't say anything, but if peace talks don't work out, you may have to face those troublesome tortoiseshell ships again."

"That's no way, but I swear that if there is a day, I will never shrink back like last time, and even if I die at the bottom of the sea, I will fight to the death with Yi Sunsin." Mr. Tong resolutely said, as if he was going to go on an expedition now, which shows that he is still very afraid of Li Sunsin.

"I'm just assuming that Izumo Mamoru doesn't need to take it seriously, now that the envoys have come, peace and prosperity are just around the corner, it's me who is worried about it." Hideho hurriedly comforted, "By the way, does Izumo Mamoru know why I forced the mission to stay on Kasujima?" ”

"Didn't you say that Fushimi Castle is being renovated?" Mr. Tong blurted out.

"That's just a lie to these Han people," Xiubao looked around and whispered in the ear of Mr. Tong: "There was an earthquake in Fushimi, if it weren't for His Royal Highness Kato sacrificing his life to save him, Taiko and Xiulai might have been buried in ruins, and now the city is in chaos, and it can't be used to receive envoys at all, so there is no choice but to make this decision." ”

"You are doing the right thing, you really can't let the mission enter Beijing now." Mr. Tong nodded heavily.

"That's why Izumo will have to worry about it during this time." Xiubao bowed in a bow.

"It's really humiliating for you to say that," Mr. Tong solemnly told Xiubao: "Your willingness to tell the matter is a trust in the humble position, how can I complain if I am too late to be happy, and in the future, wherever it is useful, the humble duty will not be shirked, and I will be willing to work as a dog and horse." ”

"Then there will be labor out of the cloud from now on." Xiubao bowed down slightly and thanked him, with the assistance of the sailors who came to the island, there will be some help in the future expedition to North Korea (the shield is also counted).

For the next month and a half, Hideho received secret letters from Takatora every three days, just as in history, the earthquake killed a thousand people in places such as Kyoto and Sakai Port, and the collapse of the Fushimi Castle Tower, which crushed more than 600 people in the castle from the collapsed buildings, including Fujido Takatora's son-in-law, Yokohama Ichi-an, who owned 50,000 stone Chiyuki in the Yamato domain. This man was one of the three elders of the Hidecho period, and after Hidenaga's death, he became Hideyoshi's direct minister and lived in Fushimi, so he suffered this fate, and the 50,000 koku he received was inherited by his son Yokohama Shigekatsu, which was also the only daimyo who died in this earthquake.

However, Takatora did not live up to Hidebo's trust, and applied to Hideyoshi on behalf of his family to serve as the general commissioner for the restoration of Fushimi Castle, and with his superb castle building skills, not only rebuilt the castle tower in just one month, but also more magnificent than before, even Hideyoshi couldn't help but praise it, and immediately announced that he would give him 40,000 koku of Mino Northern Castle. In this way, together with Otsu's 80,000 stones, Gao Hu's knowledge and deeds reached 120,000 stones, and he truly became the first important minister under Xiubao.

Through the efforts of Gao Hu and others, the restoration of Fushimi Castle was finally completed in early August.

On August 4, after obtaining Hideyoshi's consent, Hideho and others finally set off from Laijima Castle and boarded the Ataka ship bound for Sakai Port again, and a "vigorous" canonization drama was about to be staged.
