Many times the reason why authority is authority is because no one dares to question it, but once someone dares to speak, there will be a steady stream of questioners, just like now, since someone takes the lead in mocking, then the next person will be bolder. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Another daimyo also said in a weird manner: "This makes sense, if Your Excellency Tokugawa can be patient for the time being, and then discuss this matter with the Ming army after the world is calm, when Japan is pacified, we can concentrate all our forces to fight against the Ming army, do we still need to worry about it?" Can they really beat us on our own soil? Your Excellency Tokugawa, our current predicament is really inseparable from you! ”

"The Tokugawa army, known as the first in the field, actually failed miserably like this, the Ming army seems to be really very strong, do we really want to continue to be hostile to the Ming army? Or is it really worth it to cause the whole world to be lost for the sake of one Iwami? No matter how rich Iwami Ginzan is, it's not as rich as the whole of Japan, right? Kyoto and Osaka are the real places of wealth, right? What do you say, Lord Tokugawa? ”

Lost the suppression of strength and rank, those guys who were obedient and subservient before all jumped up and sarcastically ridiculed Tokugawa Ieyasu, Tokugawa Ieyasu was furious in his heart, but he was helpless at all, he knew that he had not sorted out his internal strength at this moment, and the current problem was no longer an internal problem, but a question of whether to continue to build this anti-rebellion.

"Does it make sense to say that now? Thinking about this, it is better to think about what we are going to do next, you still have sixty or seventy thousand men and horses in your hands, whether to continue to fight with the Toyotomi army for the world, or give up asking the Toyotomi clan for guilt, you decide for yourself, as for the matter with the Ming army, it is also after this matter is decided, the entire Iwami country and 10 million taels of silver demanded by the Ming army, you had better think about it. ”

With that, Tokugawa Ieyasu left the conference room and left a group of bickering people to dry, and it was only at this time that these people realized that they simply could not solve the problems that Tokugawa Ieyasu could touch and deal with due to the long-standing problems of class.

They have always obeyed their superiors and subordinates, but they have never become real leaders, so their vision and skill determine that they cannot solve international disputes.

It was at this time that they understood that only Tokugawa Ieyasu could solve this problem, and only Tokugawa Ieyasu could mobilize their strength, although Tokugawa Ieyasu's own strength had been damaged, but Tokugawa Ieyasu's skills and abilities were far above them, and they couldn't do anything if they were a group of people quarreling and lacking, and only Tokugawa Ieyasu could unite their forces to accomplish some big things.

In the face of the strong Ming Kingdom, none of them wanted to become the new leader to assume the responsibilities of Tokugawa Ieyasu before, and then they were beaten miserably, no matter how miserable Tokugawa Ieyasu was, it was also one of the few million stone daimyo who had been a handful, and they were only hundreds of thousands of stones or even hundreds of thousands of stones, just a little bit of capital strength, they really didn't dare to become the leader of the alliance and the Ming army.

Therefore, it is necessary to let Tokugawa Ieyasu continue to be their leader, negotiate with the Ming army, and achieve results, and then determine what they should do next, after all, they have basically completed the strategy in the entire land of Kyushu, except for the unruly Satsuma and other places There are still sporadic struggles, and the rest of the areas that do not know the defeat of Tokugawa Ieyasu have surrendered.

They came to rebel with a group of men and horses, in addition to the headquarters of 60,000 or 70,000, there were also 20,000 or 30,000 new men, and together, there were also small 100,000 troops, although the level of elite was not the same, but the number was there.

It is also unacceptable for them to give up these places, not to mention that they still have their original fiefdoms, and in order to force the Toyotomi clan not to dare to do anything to their fiefdoms, they must reach a certain compromise with the Toyotomi clan.

These are things that they cannot achieve without diplomatic skills, or can only Tokugawa Ieyasu, who is old enough to do this?

So they thought about it again and again, and came to a conclusion - continue to elect Tokugawa Ieyasu as their alliance leader, lead them to communicate with the Ming army and the Toyotomi clan, whether it is to continue the rebellion or reach a compromise with the Toyotomi clan, let Tokugawa Ieyasu negotiate, all in all, our interests cannot be smaller than before the war.

Tokugawa Ieyasu sneered and refused.

These people were in a hurry, and sent people to negotiate with Tokugawa Ieyasu one after another, to exchange feelings with Tokugawa Ieyasu, and Tokugawa Ieyasu finally agreed to this condition "reluctantly", but he also had conditions - to hand over the command of the newly joined 30,000 people to me, I will command, and I will rebuild the Tokugawa army.

The Tokugawa elite, which was finally killed by the Ming army, is now going to be rebuilt?

A group of people discussed and discussed, thinking that even if they gave him people, it would be impossible to compare with the Tokugawa elite, not to mention that if he didn't give it to him, he was afraid that this guy wouldn't be able to work hard, and when the time came, he would surrender and pit us, so he had to give him a sense of security, anyway, our combined strength was far beyond him, don't worry.

So Tokugawa Ieyasu used his skills to get the command of 30,000 troops, but these 30,000 troops and his own 30,000 Tokugawa elites are not the same, one in the sky and one in the ground, only to increase the momentum, even so, this is also very necessary, in the negotiation, the momentum is a very important part.

After the previous battle, Tokugawa Ieyasu realized that it was impossible for him to defeat the Ming army head-on, and that no local daimyo could not do it, unless the whole of Japan united to the outside world, it was possible to drive out the Ming army.

So the only way at the moment is to reach a compromise with the Ming army again and accept the demands of the Ming army, but they can't do it at all when they put forward the requirements of the Ming army, as far as the area they currently control, they can't do it for a hundred years, and they need the Toyotomi clan to join in to do it, gather the strength of the whole of Japan, and only in a few years can the silver required by the Ming army be prepared for the Ming army, the amount of 10 million taels is too big, take this opportunity to drag the Toyotomi clan into the water, and bear such humiliating conditions together.

What you can't get on the battlefield can be obtained at the negotiation table with skillful skills, which was taught to him by Toyotomi Hideyoshi at the beginning.

After mastering the military power and leadership again, Tokugawa Ieyasu ordered that the troops be divided into three routes, he led the main force to negotiate with the Ming army, while the remaining two troops continued to fight to the east, try to attack as many areas as possible, strive for greater initiative, and do not disclose the news that he was defeated by the Ming army, this news is best not to spread for the time being, and when everything settles, it will not matter.
