215 A great gift to the Ukita Hideya

Tokugawa Ieyasu did not violate the agreement on the treaty, of course, he did not dare, for him, although he has achieved the merit of killing Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but the remnants of the Toyotomi clan are still entrenched in Kyoto, Toyotomi Hideji and Maeda Toshiya are still alive, especially Maeda Toshiya, who is more loyal to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and it is not easy to get Maeda Toshiya to abandon Toyotomi and follow him.

And even if he accepts the Maeda Toshiyasu, it is difficult to guarantee that the Maeda Toshiya will not become Tokugawa Ieyasu's own "Tokugawa Ieyasu", become the head of the foreign daimyo and continue to threaten his shogunate regime, that result is definitely not what Tokugawa Ieyasu wants, he will not learn from Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and there is no way to negotiate if he is flat, he will directly use his troops to push over and completely wipe out the remnants of the Toyotomi family.

The daimyo of the western country are basically the supporters of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, their main forces are falling apart in Korea, none of them have been able to come back, now, it is the best time to level the entire west, Tokugawa Ieyasu almost immediately ordered the whole army to be reorganized, the troops began to advance in three ways, and the left and right roads were handed over to the two strongest daimyo except him, he took more than 30,000 troops from the Tokugawa headquarters, with Honda Tadakatsu as the vanguard, and marched directly in the direction of Kyoto.

A few days before that, he had sent people secretly to his territory of Kanto, to Edo Castle to inform his base camp that he was going to raise an army against Toyotomi Hideyoshi, so that they could consolidate their territory, defend it strictly, and wait for his army to arrive.

This is Kuroda Rushui's strategy as a military advisor, he planned a strategy for Tokugawa Ieyasu, designed the route, and determined several most convenient routes, after reaching a compromise with the Ming army, the worries have disappeared, they must seize every minute and every second to determine Japan, eliminate the hostile forces, because the Ming army has the possibility of countering the water at any time, which Kuroda Rushui and Tokugawa Ieyasu have doubts.

They didn't trust the Ming army, so before dividing the troops, they also left 5,000 people to garrison Nagoya Castle, and put all the artillery on the high ground of Nagoya Castle, ready to guard against another naval attack by the Ming army, at the same time, Tokugawa Ieyasu brought Toyotomi Hideyoshi's head and his walking staff to Xiao Ruxun, saying that this is Toyotomi Hideyoshi's head and token, Xiao Ruxun has got everything he needs, and I hope that Admiral Xiao will keep his promise and not betray the alliance.

Xiao Ruxun laughed and received the Japanese envoy, set up a banquet on the flagship to entertain the envoy, and drank with him, so that he could return happy, and explained to him that the army did not want to continue the war for a long time, and immediately went back to rest, and waited for a while to receive Mishima and the compensation money, so that they could prepare in advance.

After that, Xiao Ruxun watched the Japanese envoy leave, and shouted at the top of his voice before the Japanese envoy completely left, "The whole army is ready to retreat", so that the Japanese envoy heard this sentence, and when the envoy passed this sentence back to Tokugawa Ieyasu and Kuroda Rusui, although the two were still a little uneasy, they were somewhat relieved, and at the same time, they felt more and more pressed for time, so they seized every minute and every second to start attacking Japan.

They are racing against time here, Xiao Ruxun is actually racing against time, after getting Toyotomi Hideyoshi's head, he confirmed to Xuan Su that this head does belong to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, so Xiao Ruxun decided to return to Busan, North Korea with the whole army, he took a fast boat to go first, so that the main force of the naval division rushed back to Busan as soon as possible.

Xiao Ruxun took a fast boat and spent most of the day, rushed back to Busan in the middle of the night, and rushed back to the Daegu camp the next morning to meet Yuan Huang.

In the past few days since Xiao Ruxun left, Yuan Huang, who has Xiao Ruxun's authorization, is still very good at commanding the proud soldiers and generals of the Ming army, except for Li Rusong who does not come for a few days, Wu Weizhong and Ma Gui, the two brains of the Southern Soldiers and Xuan Dabing, still give Yuan Huang a lot of face, they are there, then the main force of the Ming army obeys the order, Li Rusong is arrogant, Yuan Huang doesn't care, Xiao Ruxun doesn't care.

However, after the news of Xiao Ruxun's return spread, Li Rusong still took Nurhachi to the Chinese army's big tent to participate in the military meeting at a very fast speed, and at the military meeting, Xiao Ruxun announced the biggest result of the past few days - the end of the Japanese coup d'état, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi is dead.

Next, he showed Toyotomi Hideyoshi's head.

"The reason why the Busan Japanese are short of food, water and supplies, but still stubbornly defend the city and do not surrender, is that they still have illusions about Toyotomi Hideyoshi in Japan, they don't believe that Toyotomi Hideyoshi will abandon them, they firmly believe that Toyotomi Hideyoshi will come to save them back, so they have persisted until now, if they know that Toyotomi Hideyoshi is dead and the Tokugawa Ieyasu coup is successful, their will to resist will completely collapse."

Then, Xiao Ruxun gave an order to Yuan Huang.

"Yuan Zanhua, you immediately organize the army to write a Chinese book, write at least a thousand copies of paper with the words 'Taiko is dead', roll it up, shoot arrows into each of the U cities, and deliver the news that Toyotomi Hideyoshi is dead, and then we will send Toyotomi Hideyoshi's head to the main city of Uko and hand it over to the commander of Uko, and he will know what to do next."

Yuan Huang touched his beard, and said with a confident smile: "The Art of War: Attacking the city is the bottom, attacking the heart is the top, this trick is the attack on the life of the Japanese Invaders, once the news comes out, our army will issue an ultimatum, not afraid that those who are timid and afraid of the Japanese will not surrender, as long as one of them surrenders, then there will be a second, a third, a fourth, and finally one or two will not surrender, and we can also take it even if we attack strongly." ”

Xiao Ruxun nodded, announced the battle order, let the whole army of the Ming army stop resting, all gathered to prepare for a decisive battle, Yuan Huang quickly organized the army Chinese book to perfectly reproduce Xiao Ruxun's request for a mental attack, wrote thousands of such papers in a short period of time, and then tied them to the arrow, organized a group of Xuanda crossbowmen to arrive under the various cities, and began to act under the frightened eyes of the Wukou.

The Japanese were surprised to find that the Ming army did not use artillery to attack, but used bows and crossbows, which were basically unused weapons.

Thousands of arrows shot into the city, killing and injuring anyone, but what was on the arrows was more lethal than artillery.

The literacy rate of the Japanese army at this time was extremely low, basically only some middle and senior officers were literate, and the low-level non-commissioned officers were all illiterate, but as long as one officer understood this kind of thing, and then exclaimed, "Taiko is dead", it was enough to cause people's hearts to fluctuate.

When the people's hearts were almost fluctuating, that is, when the main meal began, the Ming army swaggered out of formation, and the flag fluttered to march towards the main city of the Japanese army, saying that there was a big gift to give to His Excellency Ukita Hideya.
