Similarly, for Ishida Mitsunari, Toyotomi Hideji's statement is very important.

After losing the sympathy and protection of the Maeda Toshiya, Ishida Mitsunari immediately felt that he was in danger, and at the moment, the only one who could shelter him was Toyotomi Hideji, he had to firmly lean on Toyotomi Hideji's side, otherwise even if he could gather the soldiers and horses in the territory to protect himself, he would not be the opponent of those military generals and daimyo.

To be precise, the death of Maeda Toshiya has broken the balance of power within the Toyotomi clan, and now, the interests of Toyotomi Shuji and Ishida Mitsunari have been aligned.

They need to join forces to counterbalance the Daimyo of the Shogun faction, otherwise, Toyotomi Hideji will become a veritable puppet in the near future.

This is a situation that Toyotomi Shuji will never accept.

Therefore, Toyotomi Shuji decided to do something.

This was the main reason why he sheltered Ishida Mitsunari in his mansion, and it was also the reason why he dispersed the six military generals who were outside to ask for an audience, and now, he needed Ishida Mitsunari to gather the forces he could gather to officially become his supporters, and together they could re-establish the balance of power within the Toyotomi clan.

The withdrawal of the Qin army and the arrival of the Tokugawa army in Iwami to take over the Iwami silver mine were used as an opportunity to reshape this balance and lay the foundation for the upcoming battles in the future.

So he had to reach an agreement with Ishida Mitsunari, and then go together to negotiate with the military generals, and the two sides reached a consensus and entered a state of war.

In fact, Toyotomi Hideji remembered all the words that Maeda Toshiie said to Toyotomi Hideji before he died, but whether it was dealing with the Tokugawa army or the Qin army, preparing for war was an indispensable action.

Before that, there must be an agreement within the Toyotomi clan.

"Thank you Your Highness for your concern, I'm fine, just a few days of cultivation."

Ishida Mitsunari expressed his willingness to surrender to Toyotomi Hideji: "Thank you Your Highness for your protection, otherwise, your subordinates really don't know how to leave the Maeda Mansion." ”

Toyotomi Hideji soon learned of Ishida Mitsunari's desire to cooperate, and he was glad that Ishida Mitsunari was a very knowledgeable person, so that Ishida Mitsunari's faction and the strength of his retainers would become an important force against the military shogun's faction.

Thinking about it now, it was really a mistake for him to get close to the military generals and interact with them frequently, he should have thought that if Maeda Toshiya died, the situation would be what it is today, but fortunately, Ishida Mitsunari was saved.

"Ishida Qing, I won't say anything else, the current situation, you are also very clear, Maeda Qing has gone, Qin Guo has moved again and again, the Tokugawa clan has sent someone to hand over Wu Weizhong, it seems that Iwami has been decided, no matter what, we can't sit still."

Of course, Ishida Mitsunari could hear what Toyotomi Shuji meant, so he decisively knelt on the ground and expressed his willingness to surrender to Toyotomi Shuji.

This is the first time that Ishida Mitsunari decided not to put Toyotomi Hideyoshi on the basis of cooperation, this is the tacit understanding between the simple Ishida Mitsunari and the simple Toyotomi Shuji, the cooperation between these two people, and there are no other factors in it.

For example, in the earliest days, Ishida Mitsunari had the idea of repaying Toyotomi Hideyoshi's kindness and working for Toyotomi Hideji.

After Ishida Mitsunari experienced this punch, he also gained a little emotional intelligence, and he finally realized that Toyotomi Hideji didn't seem to like him too much to put Toyotomi Hideyoshi in his mouth, and he didn't like him to compare Toyotomi Hideyoshi to Toyotomi Hideji.

Toyotomi Hideji is Toyotomi Hideji, not Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

After this tacit understanding was reached, Toyotomi Shuji was very satisfied, so he held a meeting the next day.

The purpose of this meeting was to convene a meeting between the radical and moderate military forces led by Asano Yukinaga and Ukita Hideie to truly determine the fate of the Toyotomi clan, and the purpose of this meeting was to determine the Toyotomi clan's program of action and guidelines for the post-Maeda Toshike era.

The main points summarized by Ishida Mitsunari and Toyotomi Shuji in just one night according to the last suggestion of Maeda Toshiie's death.

The core is war, and Toyotomi Hideji asked the military commander to send the daimyo to immediately mobilize armaments in his territory, and he needed at least 150,000 troops to dominate the world, which required everyone's collective efforts.

The mode of action was to determine the purpose of the Qin army's counterinsurgency, and immediately set up troops to fight for the Iwami area and fight a decisive battle with the Tokugawa clan.

After determining that the Qin army was not trying to quell the rebellion but had other plans, they immediately started negotiations with the Tokugawa clan, and the two sides formed a united front to jointly fight against Xiao Ruxun's upcoming invasion.

This was the toughest order Toyotomi Hideji had ever given since his accession to the throne, and the tough stance and stern form made Ukita Hideya the first to show obedience.

Ukita Hideya was well aware of the horrors of Xiao Ruxun and the Qin army, and in the face of Toyotomi Hideji's request, Ukita Hideya said that he would definitely obey his wishes and obey the orders on behalf of the moderate generals.

Although he was very indignant at the purpose of the alliance with Tokugawa Ieyasu, after hearing that the premise was "Qin army invasion", Asano Yukinaga suddenly remembered what happened seven years ago.

The world is big, the enemy is the biggest, and compared with Xiao Ruxun, Tokugawa Ieyasu is a mouse.

Through the death of Maeda Toshiie and the awakening of Toyotomi Hideji, Toyotomi Hideji and Ishida Mitsunari reached an alliance of monarchy and ministers, which in turn influenced the actions of moderate and radical generals, and the entire Toyotomi clan's action goals were unexpectedly unified after the death of Maeda Toshiie.

This greatly surprised Tokugawa Ieyasu, and by the time he knew, of course, he had already occupied most of Iwami.

According to the intelligence of Tokugawa Ieyasu's tracking ship, the Qin army's troop transport ship sailed directly to the area of Fujian in Zhejiang, and did not stay in Korea and Tsushima Island, and did not seem to have other plans.

Tokugawa Ieyasu's doubts gradually narrowed, but his vigilance did not disappear, and while ordering a full mobilization to prepare for war with Toyotomi, he also moved his garrison further east, so as not to be attacked by the Qin army from the sea and end up with Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

He doesn't trust Qin Jun, he doesn't trust him at all, and he doesn't hesitate to speculate with the worst malice about Xiao Ruxun, if it weren't for the fact that the harvest this time was too great, he wouldn't be moved, but now it's difficult to ride a tiger, if he doesn't make a move, Toyotomi will definitely make a move.

Anyway, eat Iwami first, it's his decision.

At the same time, preparations for war were carried out in the western coastal areas, and the people were moved inward, and traps were scattered along the way, polluting water sources, and making advance preparations for the possible landing operations of the Qin army.

All in all, Tokugawa Ieyasu, the old fox, did not believe that Daqin would have good intentions towards him at all, and he decided to make two preparations, one was a decisive battle with Toyotomi, and the other was a patriotic war with Daqin.

If the situation is bad enough for the Great Patriotic War, he will immediately make peace with the Toyotomi clan, he believes that although Toyotomi Hideji hates him, he is not stupid, which of the national enemies is more important, and he believes that Toyotomi Hideji can make the right choice.
