"Fishing with all your might! General!"

When a new regime was established, it was the time when silver was needed most, although Osaka Castle was not bad by the Tokugawa family, but the construction of the official system, the reward of official positions, political ceremonies, and some necessary civil construction all needed silver, Mao Jue was the shopkeeper, and threw the Osaka Regent to Yuan Chonghuan, a bunch of people who reached out to ask for money, but his eyes were black, and he stomped his feet and scolded his mother at the empty official treasury of Osaka City.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and other ritual rewards are okay with chopping and chopping, as well as the daimyo of the Western Army, Mao Jue gave them a fief of more than ten or two hundred thousand stones, and the reward can also be waived, but a project is imminent no matter what, just before Mao Jue set off, Toyotomi decided to repair the building that has always been extremely important, Fangguang Temple!

Don't underestimate a temple, this temple was not only built by order of Toyotomi Hideyoshi before his death, but also the fuse that led to the last collapse of the Toyotomi family.

Before the battle of Osaka, the temple has just been completed, the temple with gold and bronze cast a huge Buddha statue, Toyotomi Hideyori from Kyoto Nanzen Temple hired a high monk, for the newly cast large bronze bell in Chinese to write the bell, one of them, is the country is healthy, the monarch and the minister Fengle!

Tokugawa Ieyasu was overjoyed when he learned of Zhongwen, and deliberately picked up the words, interpreting the national health as dismantling the word Ieyasu of his Tokugawa Ieyasu and cursing him to a different place, and the monarch and the minister Toyotomi, and the reverse was Letoyotomi, in order to emphasize public opinion, he also invited the monks of the five major temples in Kyoto, and insisted in unison that this was the Toyotomi family to rebel and curse the Tokugawa family.

It was because of this desire to add to the crime that the bloody and tragic Battle of Osaka broke out, and the two armies fought desperately, with 50,000 people killed in the battle, and the Tokugawa family, who carried out the massacre after entering the city, beheaded more than 14,000 people.

This Fangguang Temple, this big bronze bell, the significance of the Toyotomi family can be imagined!

Now back in Osaka City, the first thing Kaiden wants to do is to rebuild Fangguang Temple, and rebuild the big bronze bell, this period of national health, Junchen Fengle still wants to write as it is! It's not just revenge, it's a political signal! My Toyotomi family is the one in the world! We can write whatever we want! We still want to realize the curse you said back then, just let your Tokugawa family be in a different place!

Because of this political factor, before this expedition, Su Changmei promised Yuan Chonghuan, who had agreed to stay in Osaka Castle to preside over the overall situation, and allocated a part of the spoils of war to him as funds in the official treasury of the Kishu Domain.

As a result, Mao Jue ordered everything to be transported to the ship, and the dead fat man who saw it was also bitter.

However, from the side, the so-called Buddhist country of those high-ranking monks are also just secular people who have nothing to show for themselves, a group of hypocrites, if they insist on it, this is an ordinary Zhong Wen, so that Ieyasu has no excuse to start a war, then these nearly 100,000 people will not be ruined, which is more than a blood debt, and the five major temples in Kyoto should bear half of it.

Dongjiang is not afraid to talk about this benefit, Mao Jue doesn't pay attention to what is the Venerable, as long as you can convince him, he doesn't blame you for kicking his nose and face, this former flattering Su Fat Man has also become a direct minister Wei Zheng, a big abacus is pulled out, and he pulls the abacus beads, and analyzes it for Mao Jue.

"Now the Toyotomi family occupies about 13 million stone in the Western Wa Kingdom, of which the foreign daimyo 9 million stone territory, according to the ten taxes and one annual 900,000 stone grain, the stone of the Wa country is still that kind of big stone, one stone is equivalent to about two stones in my Ming Dynasty, that is, 1.8 million stone, the Toyotomi family has 4.2 million stones, the public six people and four traditions, you can collect 2.52 million stone in rent and tax every year, and there are 5 million stone when converted into Akashi. The Wa Kingdom can also provide the general with three million stones!"

"General, you have moved away hundreds of thousands of taels of gold and silver, hundreds of thousands of stones of grain today, and you may lose your income by 2 million stones next year! General!"

The corners of Mao Jue's mouth began to twitch, and he had a tendency to foam at the mouth, what did he come to fight for, wasn't it just for the spoils! Especially if you are still robbing Japan, I believe that for every Chinese who has commemorated 918 and visited the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall in later generations, it will be a refreshing thing, let him pay for the silver investment? That's definitely a pain in the flesh!

But next year, three million stone of grain! In the Central Plains, it can be converted into gold and silver, and there can be five or six million! If it is affected, he will also be distressed!

Trembling his fingers in pain, he nodded sadly for a long time.

"Before the winter of this year, the Dongjiang Army will not retreat! Attacking Owari next month, no matter how much loot you get, will be used as funds for the Toyotomi family? ”

"General! Now Lord Yuan to the side of the people, if the year is sent, the size of the payment, the commissioners are all donated by the rich of Osaka City, the food, gold and silver is the sooner the better, the people's hearts need to be enveloped! If you are so careful, the claws of the Kuroda Maori family will reach into the Toyotomi Regency! At that time, Toyotomi Regency will not be our Dongjiang alone! ”

None of this? Seeing the uncompromising appearance of this dead fat man, Mao Jue really felt that the corners of his mouth were going to twitch.

But in this kung fu, on the still neat bluestone road in Kizhou, more than a dozen cavalry suddenly rushed over, although it was a Japanese horseman, but the back was tied with a red flag symbolizing the emergency military situation of the Dongjiang River, and ran until more than a dozen steps in front of Mao Jue, and Mao Jue's personal guards stopped him before turning over and dismounting.

Although the little devil rubbed a little, the etiquette of this era was indeed solemn and in place, and the Qiben knight headed by him turned over and dismounted fiercely, knocked his head on the ground with a bang, and his voice was also extraordinarily loud but weird in the Chinese dialect that he had not learned for a long time.

"Meet the Great Commissioner! The subordinate nine ghosts are prosperous, and they are ordered by Osaka Yuan to deliver urgent official documents!"

A wax-sealed bamboo tube was offered by him with both hands, and then Mao Jue pinched the wax seal, read it quickly, swept down ten lines at a glance, and his face quickly became bitter in Su Changmei's strange gaze.

"Damn, the debtor is here again!"

…………

In August, after taking nearly half of the Wa Kingdom, the Dongjiang Army suspended its offensive, leaving the 5,000 Corps of the new Toyotomi family Banner Fukushima Masanobu in Ise Province, and the 10,000 or so ronin reorganized by Masao Shoo of the Flag Honko Kuki on the shore of Lake Biwa Omi.

Indeed, now is the time when the Tokugawa shogunate is at its weakest, all the main forces have been defeated, and the samurai of Owari, Mikawa, Kai, and Suruga are six or seven out of ten, and even now there is no news of Tokugawa Iemitsu, and in the Kii Peninsula and Gyeonggi, the shogunate was overwhelmed, and it was easily captured by Mao Jue with a territory of more than three million stones.

However, there are a lot of troubles in the Toyotomi family's own territory, the expansion has been too fast in the past six months, either the territory is yours, and you have to send people to govern, the real people are obedient, and you obediently grow food for labor, this is really called the territory, Mao Jue is so generous to his subordinates to the Daimyo territory, but also because he himself really can't manage it, he can only let these Daimyo retainers manage, Toyotomi's family, or Dongjiang, also needs to be stabilized to digest the spoils.

And the daimyo who followed the expedition also lost their fighting spirit, after all, they were also all dispatched, and the territory was mobilized to the point of exhaustion, and with a new territory, they did not have the manpower to receive it, and everyone was looking forward to disbanding the Western Army as soon as possible, so that they could go home and harvest corn.

There is also one most important reason, the emperor has summoned him!

Even if it is not the establishment of shogunate rule, Shangluo is still an important symbol for the daimyo to establish a dominant position and stabilize the world, in order to help Mao Jue call for people's hearts, the royal family has indeed paid several big prices, Song Xiance's bad moves, even if it is the big nobles of the Wuzhiguan Qihuaqing family, the children of the family who entered the palace to serve have not escaped the pain of that knife, and now the royal family has taken the initiative to summon it, this is to ask for debts.

As Taiko, the head of the Toyotomi family, the people of the world! Toyotomi Matsumaru's meeting with the emperor is also an extremely important event for the Toyotomi family, and it is also an important demonstration opportunity for the daimyo of the eastern country who is still under the Tokugawa family!

After being a few years old, the black hair that was originally well maintained was a lot whiter, and the big superintendent Yuan who still had black circles under his eyes chased and killed, Mao Jue himself had to cheer up 120,000 points of spirit and prepare to go to Luo this time.

On August 15, it took ten days for a huge Shangluo mission to be drawn out.

The main force was still Dongjiang, and the two assault cavalry regiments of Liu Xingqi's five brothers, the 6th to 13th infantry regiments, the Dongjiang cavalry team and the remaining infantry remained in Osaka City, under the joint command of Kong Youde, Wen Meng, and Liu Chong, and served as the counselor of Osaka Town, the governor of Toyotomi Regent, Song Xiance, to prevent changes on all sides.

This matter began to have nothing to do with Li's North Korea, followed by Mao Jue behind the flag and shouted, this time Li Shanhai's old goods also made a lot of good things, at least more than two million taels of gold and silver property, almost more than one million stone of grain, this year's war should have stopped, his troops began to retreat, retreat to Kyushu Island, and then return to Li's North Korea, but the old guy was obviously not greedy enough, and wanted to see if he could take advantage of it, he drew a thousand elite infantry cavalry from the Li Korean army, As an envoy, he also joined the army of Shangluo.

The rest are the daimyo of the western country, Kamiraku can be regarded as a very glorious thing, most of the troops were dismissed under Osaka Castle, the Shimazu family sent out 3,000 guards, the Kuroda family came out of 2,000, the Nabeshima family 2,000, the Mori family was a little pitiful, 1,000 samurai, the Asai family 1,000 samurai, plus the large and small daimyo such as Nagamune, Akizuki, and Senju, who returned to the ranks of the daimyo, also made up 10,000 accompanying troops.

The army is to preach majesty, this time there is no war, the etiquette is cumbersome, the army has more flags, the daimyo horse seal, the family emblem is densely raised, the line is long, and there is a large palanquin carried by a dozen people similar to the Suwa Jinjun, on which there are priests and shrine maidens beating drums.

The entire Shangluo army really feels like the emperor in the TV series in later generations, majestic, mysterious and majestic, but the nominal owner of this army, Toyotomi Kunimatsumaru, is uneasy first.

The young man who was only sixteen years old wore a wide black brocade robe of the princess Taige Songhe, and a half-meter gauze crown was buttoned on his head, even under the command of the Dongjiang samurai, he still looked back from time to time, a bit like a child who had nothing to do, and this appearance made the daimyo who followed the audience all secretly shake their heads.

Such a person in the world is really unconvincing! It seems that it is difficult for the Toyotomi family to take back the dominant power from the Dongjiang general behind him, who is arrogant and eagle-eyed, and the one who will inherit the Toyotomi family in the future must be the heir of his Mao Jue and the princess Chiyoji, who should wag his tail to! There are several other former Western Army daimyo who participated in the later participation, and their hearts are also clear.

It's no wonder that Kunimatsumaru is nervous, on the one hand, he is indeed unworldly, either as a prisoner in Li's North Korea, or as a hostage in Dongjiang, following Yuan Chonghuan to read hard, a little nerd, such a big scene, it is really embarrassing for him.

Another reason, this time, Kaiden, who has always been Toyotomi's guardian, did not come!

When she came back from Kishu, Mao Jue gave her 50,000 taels of silver, 50,000 stone of grain, and ordered the developed smelter in the Dongjiang River to be dispatched by her.

This is the first time that Toyotomi Kunimatsumaru has sent an envoy in the name of the head of the Toyotomi family, Taiko, so it's no wonder that he is not nervous.

It's just that Mao Jue is a little speechless is that he was born in a father's womb, Chiyoji, this girl is not like a sister and brother to him, this girl is not stage frightened at all, but because Yuan Chonghuan stayed in Osaka City, pouting angrily, and giving himself a commanding attitude from time to time.

Fortunately, she is a girl, and if Chiyohime is a man, Mao Jue really has to worry about taking precautions to prevent her from taking the Toyotomi family back from her control.

"Taige, please!"

In front of outsiders, there should still be etiquette, guarding the side of Kunimatsumaru, Mao Jue personally opened the door of the small box sedan chair for him, and in the congratulations of the daimyo, he helped him get on the sedan chair, and reluctantly stuffed Chiyohime's girl in, and he turned over and got on the horse.

Riding at the front, Maori Sakura shouted loudly.

"Let's go! The army is out!"

A few loud drums sounded, facing the rising sun, in front of a full thirty-two honor guards carrying long flags and flags took the first step, and then, the commando cavalry regiment around him shook off the steps, behind him, a total of twenty-two daimyo playing the family crest, the multi-mixed family coat of arms and flags hit behind Mao Jue's Mao character handsome flag, but for him to set off a majesty, even if it is a high name, behind him can only follow the class to look at the horse.

Especially where the army passed, whether it was the people and merchants on both sides of the road, they all had to get out of the way, kneeling on the side of the road, and while marching, looking at the dense kneeling at their feet, their heads lowered, and their buttocks pouted, a wave of enlightenment arose spontaneously in Mao Jue's heart.

It is no wonder that at the end of the Qin Dynasty, looking at Qin Shi Huang's mighty Eastern Tour, Xiang Yu clenched his fists, and Liu Bang even issued an eternal call for a husband to be like this.

The taste of rights is really wonderful!
