At this time, Maeda Toshiie and Tokugawa Ieyasu didn't know what reason to use to oppose it.

In the past, there was a lot of opposition from below, and the opposition from the emperor's side was even more violent, but now the situation is different, and after the battle is fought, those who oppose it do not dare to speak, and those who do not oppose it in the first place are even more vigorously advocating that they should consider it as the best and consider it later.

The Toyotomi clan and the Tokugawa clan considered that Xiao Ruxun had become the emperor and had no constraints, and it was all up to him whether to go to war or not.

Don't say anything about the country just founded, it really annoys him, he doesn't agree with a word and sends troops to fight, play a willful, everyone will be unlucky.

So they consulted secretly five times, and finally decided to adopt a two-faced policy, that is, to declare themselves vassals to Qin, and to still claim to be emperor internally.

This is the rule of the game that everyone agreed on in the pre-Ming era, I respect you as the master, but I am the king and hegemon in my own country, and you can't interfere.

They think that Xiao Ruxun is still the same as the previous emperor, he wants to save face, not to be ruthless, and he is ruthless, but his behavior is not so ruthless.

As long as the emperor is a vassal on the surface, he is still the emperor of Japan on the inside.

So they officially sent a note to the Qin envoys, expressing their willingness to accept the request of the Great Qin Emperor.

Externally, they agreed to the request of the Qin envoys, went to the emperor's title, and coerced the emperor, who was crying and unwilling to agree, to proclaim himself the king of Japan.

Internally, however, the emperor still proclaimed himself emperor, and after the Qin envoys left, he secretly issued an edict to the princes of the world, detailing the "humiliation" of Great Qin against Japan, and calling on everyone to remember today's hatred and strive to develop themselves, with a view to "regaining the emperor" in the future.

Basically every daimyo with enough strength had a copy of this edict, and Tokugawa Ieyasu was no exception, and at every meeting under a different name, Tokugawa Ieyasu always asked people to read this edict and remember the hatred more deeply.

They can't compete with the Qin army yet, but after all, they only have 20,000 people in Japan, and the rest are on the mainland.

Tokugawa Ieyasu, a southwest battle in which the Qin army dispatched more than 100,000 people, was also paying attention, and his heart was pounding at that time, if the Qin army was defeated and the 160,000 army was destroyed, then they could send troops to Iwami almost immediately, and then clean up the Toyotomi clan and dominate Japan.

But it backfired, and a month later, he got accurate news, the Qin army was victorious, and the toast who dared to resist Xiao Ruxun was killed, and the whole family was killed.

This battle allowed Tokugawa Ieyasu to further see the strength of the Qin army, don't look at the fact that Qin has only been founded for more than a year, but Qin's strength is really not to be underestimated, after all, it is such a big country, and he now feels that the bright future depicted by Toyotomi Hideyoshi is a bit ridiculous.

Could the Qin army be so easy to defeat?

Is Beijing so easy to get into?

Now that they are still being held down on their homeland, let alone talk about any other strategy, if they don't take back their homeland and unify it, what are they talking about attacking the outside world?

It is true that Japan is too small, and the desire for a wider territory is the vision and goal of a good leader, but when the object of this goal becomes a behemoth, Tokugawa Ieyasu feels that it is necessary to rationally consider whether it is worth it.

After seven years of development, in the end it is still not as good as the combat effectiveness of the country for one year, what else is there to say?

Tokugawa Ieyasu felt that as long as he could get Iwami back, and then work hard to destroy the Toyotomi clan and unify Japan and establish a stable regime, it would be enough, and there was nothing else to ask for.

As long as Daqin didn't pay attention to Japan, he would be very happy.

To be precise, after learning the news of the Qin army's complete victory in the Battle of Banshu, Tokugawa Ieyasu's goal had already become to preserve the territory and not seek foreign objects.

Just like these big names in front of them, when they were just humiliated, they read this edict one by one with righteous indignation and tears in their eyes, but now?

The insult is still there, but they don't have the original righteous indignation.

They had already sensed that Great Qin's strength was too terrifying.

In the face of such a country, retreating and protecting oneself is already the best ending, just like North Korea, to be a loyal and firm dog leg of Great Qin, the country has suffered two disasters before, and both times were helped by the suzerain.

It seems that Daqin does not intend to annex Korea at all.

With such a country as an example, many rational or pessimistic daimyos have to have the idea of not wanting to fight, unwilling to continue to spend money on armaments, only thinking of working harder to develop the local economy, and not wanting to continue to be the enemy of the Qin army.

There are many people who hold this idea in Tokugawa Ieyasu's camp.

Because they had never participated in the Korean Campaign back then, but they suffered some losses after the Ming army landed, the losses were not large, the blows were not great, and the blood feud could not be talked about, and these people were easy to sway.

On the contrary, many of the daimyo of the Toyotomi clan were related to those who died in the Battle of Korea.

Because Toyotomi Hideyoshi mainly recruited these troops at that time, during the Korean War, many of them had a deep blood feud with the Ming Dynasty and the current Great Qin, not to mention Xiao Ruxun, the commander of the year and the current Qin Emperor.

Peace? Confession? It's completely unimaginable.

The one they wanted to kill the most was Tokugawa Ieyasu, and the second one they wanted to kill was Xiao Ruxun.

After Wu Weizhong showed his muscles, the Tokugawa side all died down and confessed, and most of the Toyotomi side confessed, and the head iron heroes who continued to shout were all diehards on the Toyotomi side, and they also tried to assassinate Tokugawa Ieyasu and Toyotomi Hideji when the Tokugawa clan and the Toyotomi clan joined hands to coerce the emperor to issue an edict.

Of course, the result was miserable, they were basically purged, and Maeda Toshiya would not allow these people to do anything that would damage the fortunes of the whole of Japan.

Even so, with Maeda Toshiya suppressing, Toyotomi is still haunted by such a shame, and unlike the Tokugawa side, the main battle atmosphere of the Toyotomi clan is still strong, and many daimyo have studied the fighting methods of the Qin army in the last battle, trying to find the weaknesses of the Qin army.

Then step up to restore strength.

In the past year, he has not slackened, but the military strength of the Toyotomi side has been greatly improved, surpassing that of the Tokugawa side.

Maeda Toshiya felt more and more that the main battle power of the Toyotomi clan was rising, and he didn't know where those people came from, and felt that after studying a battle of the Qin army, he had found a way to deal with the Qin army, and now he was working hard to develop cavalry and musket artillery, ready to "fight to the death" with the Qin army at any time.

What worries him even more is that Toyotomi Hideji seems to have such thoughts, and vigorously moves closer to the military generals of the Owari faction, while Ishida Mitsunari's Buntomi faction is increasingly alienated by Toyotomi Hideji because of its support for peace talks and not for war, and now it is getting closer to him.

Maeda Toshiya felt quite worried about this, especially when the news of the Qin army's pacification of the domestic rebellion came back a few days ago, and he even thought that the thriving Great Qin was not something that the current Japan could challenge, but that group of generals just didn't admit it.

Every day, he cried bitterly with the emperor's edict, accused Daqin of his bullying behavior, and vowed to do his best to regain the qualification of the emperor to be called the emperor to the people of the world, and swore with the swords in their hands.

Toshiie Maeda felt a headache.

Fortunately, Daqin didn't know the internal news of Toyotomi, otherwise, he would definitely come to Xingshi to ask for the guilt.
