When the news of Daqin's decision to return Iwami Ginzan to Tokugawa Ieyasu reached Kyoto, it was two days before Daqin's withdrawal began.

When the news came, the power of the Toyotomi clan exploded directly.

A large group of retainers and daimyo rushed to Toyotomi Hideji's mansion and strongly demanded that Toyotomi Hideji send troops to intimidate Daqin and Tokugawa.

They can't let Daqin hand over Iwami Ginzan to Tokugawa Ieyasu, they must get Iwami Ginzan's silver to strengthen their armaments and expand their army, otherwise the Tokugawa side will become stronger and stronger, until it loses control.

Ever since Japan was forcibly partitioned between East and West, Toyotomi Hideji had always been on the back of his hand in the development of Tokugawa, and he was always worried when he heard news about something more powerful on the Tokugawa side.

He really wanted to start a war to eliminate the Tokugawa forces three years ago, not only to avenge Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but also to unify Japan and redevelop himself, in order to recover the blood debt from Xiao Ruxun in the future and restore the glory of the Toyotomi clan.

However, Toyotomi Hideji's idea was strongly opposed by Maeda Toshiie and Ishida Mitsunari.

Maeda Toshiya and Ishida Mitsusei are people that Toyotomi Hideyoshi trusts very much, and among them, Maeda Toshiya is a bigwig-level figure with both prestige and strength, and he is a figure that even an old fox like Tokugawa Ieyasu has to shy away.

It can be said that after the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, only he can stabilize Toyotomi's power, let himself ascend the throne safely, and stabilize the situation.

The contribution of the Maeda Toshiya is really great, so big that Toyotomi Hideji himself knows that if it weren't for the Maeda Toshiya, he should have died by now, either at the hands of Tokugawa Ieyasu or at the hands of some other careerist, and he would definitely die anyway.

However, Maeda Toshiie stepped forward to stop the collapse of the Toyotomi power, which was about to fall apart, stabilized the situation, established himself in Kyoto, enshrined the emperor, and after obtaining the title of righteousness, he declared orthodoxy to the world and forcibly forced Tokugawa Ieyasu into an embarrassing situation.

It is precisely because of such a series of political actions that politically, the Toyotomi clan was able to regain its foothold and develop again, and successfully passed the most difficult period, except for the Maeda Toshiya, no one in the Toyotomi forces after the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi had this prestige.

Tokugawa Ieyasu clearly had no way to deal with this situation, so he had no choice but to retreat and retreat to western Japan to develop himself.

However, Tokugawa Ieyasu's domestic affairs ability is beyond doubt, even if he gets a ruined land, he forcibly uses commercial means to open source, and uses clean government means to reduce expenditures internally, get enough funds to develop himself, and force Toyotomi forces step by step.

The Maeda Toshiya coped with it freely, using various means to stabilize Toyotomi, suppress Tokugawa, persuade agriculture to teach mulberry, and develop agriculture and handicrafts, so that the Toyotomi family's family foundation gradually became thicker, after all, the population and land of the Toyotomi clan were above the Tokugawa clan.

With the great god of the Maeda Toshiya, the Tokugawa clan has no way to take the Toyotomi clan, but this is not without danger, and Tokugawa Ieyasu is very keenly aware of the Toyotomi clan's fate, that is, the health problem of the Maeda Toshiya.

In fact, when the news of Daqin's return of Iwami Ginzan to Tokugawa Ieyasu reached Kyoto, Maeda Toshiya had been on sick leave for more than ten days, and his illness had still not recovered, and he was still lying on the bed to recuperate.

Maeda Toshiie's serious illness is undoubtedly an opportunity for the Owari faction's generals, most of them are the main battle faction, and they were frightened by Daqin before, but after learning that Daqin was going to withdraw his troops and return Iwami Ginzan, the long-lost courage was brought up again.

They rushed to Toyotomi Hideji's mansion almost in a rush to make a statement to Toyotomi Hideji, asking Toyotomi Hideji to allow troops to fight against the Tokugawa clan, kill the Tokugawa clan, take back Iwami Ginzan, reunify Japan, and divide the world.

To be honest, it was impossible for Toyotomi Xiuji not to act, but like most people, he had deep jealousy and fear of Great Qin's too powerful military force, because of Great Qin's effective deterrence, he did not dare to act rashly.

"If this is false news, it is the news that the Qin army is trying to lure us to attack, then which one is willing to send troops to attack Iwami?"

Toyotomi Hideji didn't speak, he looked at Ishida Mitsunari, Ishida Mitsunari understood, and said something that choked the generals speechless.

Who is not afraid that the Qin army is deceitful just to kill a few more of them, the sudden battle before made the daimyo of Izumo Province suffer heavy losses, but he only dared to cry and did not dare to act rashly.

It's really a little scary, not fake.

So no one dared to talk a lot, but the Owari faction's military generals were more dissatisfied with Ishida Mitsunari.

In the following days, Toyotomi Hideji had been following the matter, and five days later, the latest news came.

About 2,000 men and horses of the Qin army left Iwami by boat and sailed in the direction of the Great Qin mainland, which is true news, and dozens of spies witnessed it together, and it is absolutely impossible to be wrong.

At this moment, the riot of the military generals of the Owari faction was uncontrollable, because the news had a real hammer, and it was so true that even Toyotomi Hideji and Ishida Mitsunari themselves were stunned and couldn't believe it, but this thing really happened.

"Impossible, the Qin State is strong, and Iwami Silver Mountain produces one million taels of silver every year, why should they give up this million taels of silver? There must be a demon when things go wrong, Your Highness can't act rashly no matter what, this matter must be treated carefully and cautiously, and you must not send troops rashly! ”

Ishida Mitsunari very sincerely suggested Toyotomi Shuji.

Toyotomi Hideji remained silent on the surface, and after being silent for a while, he asked: "Could it be that there was some sudden incident in the Qin State that caused the Qin State to have to send overseas troops back to China to pacify the incident?" ”

Ishida was stunned for a moment, and had to think that this statement was indeed reasonable and possible.

But it would be too abnormal to transfer troops back to normal and return Iwami to Tokugawa Ieyasu, and it must be a conspiracy.

"It's normal to send troops back, but it's definitely not normal to return Iwami, so much silver and two say don't want it, Qin Guo is inevitably too generous, and since it is going to be returned, not to His Majesty the Emperor, but to Tokugawa Ieyasu's rebellion, in this, His Royal Highness doesn't think there is a problem?"

Although Toyotomi Hideji didn't like Ishida Mitsunari to use Toyotomi Hideyoshi to pressure him at every turn, he had to admit that Ishida Mitsunari was more wise, and he quickly thought of the most critical problem here.

What does it mean to not return the supreme ruler of Japan, who is also recognized by Daqin himself, but to return a rebel?

"So, why do you think that?"

Toyotomi Shuji asked Ishida Mitsunari.

Ishida Mitsunari touched his beard and thought for a moment.

"Probably we want to use this to make the two sides go to war, but fortunately, when the Qin State quells the civil strife, we are powerless to pose a threat to the Qin State, and we will fight ourselves."

Saying that, Ishida Sancheng had to sigh, "It's really a vicious conspiracy."

Of course, Ishida Mitsunari said this, of course, it makes sense, Daqin did not return the silver mountain to the Toyotomi clan, but returned the silver mountain to the Tokugawa clan, obviously in order to provoke the dissatisfaction and war of the Toyotomi clan, the Toyotomi clan will definitely not let the silver mountain fall into the hands of the Tokugawa clan, even if he knows that this is a ploy, he has to get into it.

It's not a conspiracy, it's a conspiracy.

Good and vicious conspiracy.
