The arrival of Maeda Toshiya turned Ishida Mitsunari, who was originally at an absolute disadvantage, overturned.

Maeda Toshiie made it clear that he was absolutely opposed to sending troops now.

"Emperor Qin handed over Iwami Ginzan to Tokugawa Ieyasu in order to make us angry, make us anxious, and let us know that it was a ploy, and we had to send troops, this is the insidious thing of Emperor Qin, this is not a conspiracy, this is a righteous and bright plan.

Emperor Qin knew our situation and knew that it was impossible for any of us to give up the financial income of one million taels of silver a year, so Emperor Qin did not let us negotiate to divide the Iwami Silver Mountain, but directly handed it over to the Tokugawa clan, and his intention was obvious. ”

Maeda Toshiya slowly told Toyotomi Shuji his speculation.

Toyotomi Shuji sighed.

"As Maeda Qing said, I also know Emperor Qin's intentions, but Maeda Qing also said that this is a situation where we have to send troops, otherwise, once the Tokugawa clan gets Iwami Ginzan, our situation will be very bad.

In the past few years, that old guy from Tokugawa has been desperately suppressing our forces overseas, and we can't make much money at all, and all the money has been earned by Tokugawa, if it continues like this, he will have more money, more complete armaments, and more elite troops, and we will be very passive. ”

Toshiie Maeda nodded.

"So this is Yangmou, although we know Emperor Qin's intentions, but we have to do what he wants, I am not against sending troops to Iwami, on the contrary, I support sending troops to Iwami, we must send troops Iwami to seize Yinshan!"

Toyotomi Shuji was stunned.

Ishida Mitsunari was shocked.

The generals were overjoyed.

"But ......"

Without waiting for everyone to react and say anything, Maeda Toshiya spoke: "We must be clear that now is not the time to send troops, and we must figure out some things before we can send troops." ”

Toyotomi Shuji hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"What is the purpose of Emperor Qin to return Iwami Silver Mountain!"

Maeda Toshiie's eyes immediately sharpened: "If it is because there is a rebellion in the country that has to be quelled by drawing troops, then it is easy to explain, but if there is no rebellion in the Qin State, then Emperor Qin's intentions are very terrible." ”

Toyotomi Shuji's heart tightened.

"What do you mean?"

"I suspect that Emperor Qin is planning to use troops against us again if it is not to quell the domestic rebellion!"

Maeda Toshiie's voice was not loud, but his tone was very resolute, and the impact on the others in the hall was also very strong.

The generals looked at Maeda Toshiya in amazement.

Toyotomi Hideji also looked at Maeda Toshiya dumbfounded.

Ishida Mitsunari seemed to understand something, and his face was full of nervousness.

"This ...... It can't be, right? ”

Shocked for a long time, Toyotomi Hideji said with a fluke mentality: "The Qin State has only been in power for more than a year, and there have been two major wars in a row, where is there any extra troops and money to fight another battle?" That consumption was too great for the Qin State to afford. ”

Toshiie Maeda nodded.

"Indeed, the Qin State has a short time and a weak family background, which is the biggest shortcoming, it is indeed not easy to start a war in a row, but Your Highness, Xiao Ruxun never likes to do things according to normal methods, he always does things that he does not expect, and he is very bold, otherwise, will he dare to go north to the Ming Dynasty and eventually overthrow the Ming Dynasty?"

As soon as these words came out, the corners of everyone's eyes twitched.

This Qin Emperor's style of acting is very unexpected, very tough, and always full of calculations, so that people don't know what he will do next, but his goal is very clear, once he does it, he will do it to the end, and he will not change halfway.

But this time is different, this time, for Japan, it is a machi, a blatant machi.

But the question is, is Xiao Ruxun's real purpose in doing this just to make Japan chaotic, and it won't hinder his internal counterinsurgency?

Great Qin had just put down a large-scale rebellion, and it was the time when his prestige was extremely high, so wouldn't it be self-defeating to rebel at this time? Who's going to get him in trouble at this time?

If there is no problem in the Great Qin, then it is difficult to say the purpose of Xiao Ruxun's return of Iwami Silver Mountain to the Tokugawa clan.

Let Japan be in chaos, there will be a war, Tokugawa and Toyotomi will fight one after another, what benefit can he get?

It can be seen that the strength of the Tokugawa clan and the Toyotomi clan has decreased, and the resistance he will encounter when he invades Japan again will be greatly weakened.

Such benefits.

After figuring out this joint point, Ishida Mitsunari's face became very bad.

He looked at Toyotomi Shuji and found that Toyotomi Shuji's face was also very bad.

As for the rest of the generals, they looked at Maeda Toshiya in disbelief.

If Maeda's guess is not wrong, it will be bad.

Did Qin really plan to attack Japan a second time?

Why?

Cause?

Want to annex Japan?

Isn't that a little weird?

Traditionally, isn't this the time to recuperate? Xiao Ruxun has made a lot of moves one after another, why in the end? Figure what?

This is a question that Maeda Toshiya himself is not clear.

He didn't understand the reason why Xiao Ruxun made a lot of moves.

Even if he can hold it on his own, will the army hold it? Will the officials hold up? Can the treasury hold up the money and food? Can the people hold on?

All this is unknown, whether Xiao Ruxun wants to send troops to Japan or not is also unknown now, this is just a speculation without evidence.

"But at the end of the day, it's just a speculation, a speculation that has no actual evidence to prove it."

Maeda Toshiie said something that made the others present relax a little.

Toyotomi Shuji hurriedly asked, "Then what does Maeda Qing mean?" ”

"It is to send someone to find out the real situation, if the Qin State is really in trouble, then we can immediately send troops to Iwami to compete with Tokugawa, if the Qin State just retreats, and the country is safe and sound, then we must negotiate with Tokugawa to prevent the possibility of Xiao Ruxun's large-scale invasion."

Toshiie Maeda said.

It's a true best of both worlds.

For the disadvantaged Toyotomi forces, this can indeed minimize the damage and prepare for the terrible situation that may occur in the future.

It's just that for the main battle faction, it is not so easy to accept emotionally the possibility of fighting with the Tokugawa clan again in the future.

But once the two sides have a common enemy so strong that they can suffocate them, the union is a matter of course, and there is no other prevarication, because not uniting is death or destruction.

Tokugawa Ieyasu was equally clear about this, and he was not a fool.

If he found a clue, he would react faster than Toyotomi.

He is cautious and very sensitive, and it is this sharpness and prudence that he has successfully preserved his power in the chaotic war for so many years.

If Maeda Toshiie had made such a decision, it was clear that Tokugawa Ieyasu would have made the same decision.
