As for the situation in Korea, basically, Tokugawa Ieyasu who should know all about it knows. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Not only him, but also the daimyo of the Eastern Kingdom knew it clearly, but everyone tacitly hid from Toyotomi Hideyoshi and didn't let him know, so that he continued to immerse himself in a beautiful dream without knowing it, which was a good thing for everyone, even if Tokugawa Ieyasu knew that the front line was defeated, and the whole army would be wiped out, he didn't say a word.

He was just secretly frightened by the strong strength of the Ming Kingdom, and the powerful forces of Toyotomi Hideyoshi to subdue the whole of Japan could not deal a blow to the Ming army, and he was defeated again and again, and the main force of the Ming army was defeated all the way, and he died I don't know how many Toyotomi descendants, although there are also happy thoughts in it, but there is also a sense of sadness about the death of a rabbit and a fox.

Tokugawa Ieyasu was able to be the final victor of Japan, and a figure like Sima Yi could not be trained simply.

Tokugawa Ieyasu suffered when he was young, and many of the retainers of Matsudaira could not eat enough, so even if he made a fortune later, he did not dare to squander luxury at will, giving people the impression that Tokugawa Ieyasu was particularly stingy, it is said that once Tokugawa Ieyasu went to the toilet with straw paper, and suddenly the wind rose, and the straw paper was blown everywhere, so he chased it all over the yard with his bare buttocks, and in the face of others' teasing, he also said confidently that "the attitude of chasing straw paper is the foundation of the world's first".

Another time, Tokugawa Ieyasu invited all the daimyo to a banquet, and Date Masamune secretly laughed when he came back from the banquet: "I have heard that Ieyasu is stingy for a long time, but when I see it today, I realize that it is true, and the lord of the inner house has to pack up the leftover meals and take them back." ”

However, although Tokugawa Ieyasu was stingy, he was by no means a miser, and during the Korean War, when the daimyo of various countries had to borrow money because of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's endless military service taxes, it was Tokugawa Ieyasu who generously helped many of them pay off their debts.

He was not defeated by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but he also did not defeat Toyotomi Hideyoshi, he surrendered to the Toyotomi regime, that is to say, at least at this time, Ieyasu Tokugawa did not have the capital to compete with Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Toyotomi Hideyoshi mobilized all his elites to lose to the Ming army, and also provoked such a strong opponent to the whole of Japan, how can this make Tokugawa Ieyasu not secretly worried?

If Toyotomi Hideyoshi annoyed the Ming Dynasty and made the Ming army come to conquer in a big way, judging from the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, they all have the possibility of the collapse of the whole country, if this is the case, whether Toyotomi Hideyoshi is the boss or he Tokugawa Ieyasu is the boss, they are all sinners in Japan.

Tokugawa Ieyasu could not accept such an outcome.

So when Toyotomi Hideyoshi didn't know, Tokugawa Ieyasu secretly gathered a group of Dongguo daimyo who had a good relationship with him and held several private meetings, and everyone unified their thinking, that is, they would never let Toyotomi Hideyoshi send 100,000 reserves to Korea, which would not only hurt everyone's vitality, but also be burned and attract the revenge of the Ming army.

So what should everyone do if the news from the front line is known to Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Toyotomi Hideyoshi starts to go crazy?

Tokugawa Ieyasu proposed several bills.

First, report to the emperor, the emperor is absolutely unwilling to Toyotomi Hideyoshi to go to Korea, this can be seen from the previous war, the emperor is very worried that Toyotomi Hideyoshi will not return, then his position is in danger, Toyotomi Hideyoshi serves the imperial family very respectfully, the life of the imperial family is very good, if you lose Toyotomi Hideyoshi, then everything is unknown, so everyone should use the emperor's idea to induce the emperor to try his best to dissuade Toyotomi Hideyoshi from continuing to expand the war.

Of course, it is not certain whether it will succeed or not, and if you really want to be mad, the emperor may not be able to persuade Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

Then we have to use the second bill, we collectively write a book, explain to Toyotomi Hideyoshi the fact that military rations cannot sustain the war on the grounds of lack of food and poor livelihood, and use the crucial issue of military rations to dissuade Toyotomi Hideyoshi from expanding the war, without military rations, everyone will not survive, I believe that no matter how crazy Toyotomi Hideyoshi is, he will not forget to eat.

Of course, this may not work, there have been many such books before, but the people who wrote the books have lost their lives without exception.

At this point, the third strategy comes in.

When Tokugawa Ieyasu said these words, his expression was cloudy, and the daimyo realized what Tokugawa Ieyasu meant.

In order to prevent this behemoth from turning its attention to us and trying to eliminate us, we must eliminate all the reasons for the Ming army to start a war, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi is the biggest reason, so when it really comes to the irreparable step, we have to make a painful decision, launch a mutiny, kill Toyotomi Hideyoshi, abandon the invading army and the daimyo of the Western Kingdom, and repair relations with the Ming State.

Hearing Tokugawa Ieyasu's words, the daimyo of the Eastern Province gasped.

It's not that I don't want to, it's not that I don't want to, I just don't dare.

It would be a good thing to be able to take such an opportunity to annex the territories of the daimyo of the western country, but what a terrible thing it would be to really abandon the entire daimyo and Toyotomi lineage of the western kingdom and completely overthrow the Toyotomi regime?

Although everyone openly and secretly looks down on Toyotomi Hideyoshi's background, thinking that he is just a slave, which is funny and interesting, but there is no one who does not admire him - from the lowest slave status step by step, until he reached the highest apex of the whole of Japan, completed the counterattack of life, can be called a legendary figure, his wrist, his wit, his power, everyone does not feel trembling.

Those people from the noble background of the Genji Taira clan and the Fujiwara clan, although they secretly looked down on Toyotomi Hideyoshi, did not dare to oppose him, and they gathered here to discuss the overthrow of him, but it cannot be said that everyone must have the courage to kill Toyotomi Hideyoshi at that time.

For decades, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's step by step subjugation of the country has made many people remember it vividly, and from the bottom of his heart he is afraid of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, his decades of prestige accumulation, decades of surprise, Rao is Tokugawa Ieyasu's face is ruthless, but there are not only one or two people who see his lack of confidence.

From the bottom of their hearts, everyone hated and feared Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was born a slave but achieved the business of the emperor.

"That's what I said, but when it really comes to that time, Taige really hasn't prepared at all? Tokugawa, don't you forget, your territory is surrounded by Taiko's cronies, and your life has not been easy all these years, right? ”

Someone is starting to run on Tokugawa Ieyasu.

"That's right, Tokugawa said, it's not that we don't want to, but this matter is too difficult, and even if the Ming Kingdom really wants to fight, besides Taige, who else can compete with the Ming army? It's you? Or me? Am I any of you? ”

"I also have this opinion, although Taiko is a little radical, but we have all admired his ability, he can go from a slave to his current position, Tokugawa Daiyan, you better think twice!"

"That's it!"

"Seconded!"

"That's my opinion too!"

For a time, none of the daimyos of the Eastern Kingdom reconciled Tokugawa Ieyasu's opinion.

"So, are you willing to bring your already small number of soldiers and horses to North Korea to die?!"

Tokugawa Ieyasu roared out, and the whole room fell silent.
