In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, on May 1, Japan raised 300,000 troops to attack Busan, Korea, and the king of Korea complained to Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty and asked the Ming Dynasty to send troops. But Emperor Chongzhen was beaten by the Manchu Qing and Li Zicheng, and Zhang Xianzong could not protect himself, where would he still have the strength to rescue North Korea.

Now the Ming Dynasty recognized strong soldiers, is stationed in Shanhaiguan Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui has 30,000 Guanning iron cavalry in his hands, is the only one who dares to Qing soldiers to carry out field battles, but also many times in the field to defeat the Qing soldiers, but not only Emperor Chongzhen understands, any common people understand, if Wu Sangui's Guanning iron cavalry is used to resist Japan and aid Korea, Shanhaiguan will definitely be taken advantage of by the Qing soldiers to break through, when the time comes, hundreds of thousands of Qing soldiers will pour into North China like a tide, Beijing will be dangerous.

Zhou Yanru was captured, and although he sent a ransom of five million taels of silver to "Liu Zongmin", "Liu Zongmin" repented and refused to let him go. At the moment, Emperor Chongzhen didn't even have a suspicious person to discuss. Because Chongzhen doesn't believe in the words of loyal ministers, he only believes in traitorous ministers.

Jin Yiwei commanded Luo Yangxing to play and said: "Your Majesty, there is only one person who is an idler at the moment, and he is located in the defense area of the inland of the Ming Dynasty. Nan, you don't have to fight with Li Thief and Zhang Thief. North, no need to fight against the Qing army. Then he held the Great Seal of the General Army. A few days ago, His Majesty ordered Lord Zhou (Zhou Yanru) to be the overseer, and transferred the general army of the three prefectures, plus the general army of Shandong, and the general army of Shaanxi to crusade against Zhou Yuji in Shanxi. However, Sun Chuanting moved slowly, delayed time, and was reluctant to reach the Shanxi battlefield. And Shandong's Li Long did not send troops at all. This is an act of defiance of the head. At present, the vassal state of Korea is under attack by Japan, and I am asking for help. Your Majesty can just send Li Long to fight against Japan."

Chongzhen asked: "Which Li Long was able to resist the decree last time, if he still resists the decree this time, the court will have no choice."

Jin Yiwei commanded Luo Yangxing and said: "As long as the holy decree is issued, whether you go or not, it is Li Long's business." Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous to North Korea, and as for the subordinates who do not obey the holy decree, it is not something that Your Majesty can control."

After Chongzhen figured it out, he smiled and said: "Luo Yangxing, this is really a good idea, immediately issue a holy decree, and report to Shandong for eight hundred miles." ”

Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a feudal lord at the end of Japan's Sengoku period, was the daimyo of Japan's Sengoku period who completed the first unification of Japan in modern times after the Muromachi shogunate, and the de facto ruler of Japan from 1590 to 1598. It's a pity that he died too soon...... By the time Lee Ryulai came, the Toyotomi brothers had been dead for fifty years. So for the sake of the plot, we need Toyotomi Hideyoshi not to die yet.

A few days before the dispatch of troops.

When it was dark, the servants hurriedly lit all the lanterns, and their masters loved the resplendent and lively life. In a short time, thousands of delicate red lanterns of various shapes were hung, setting off Osaka, Japan in 1642 A.D. even more majestic, and it is no wonder that it was called the largest city east of Constantinople by monks from the West.

Around and in the center of the castle, there are samurai in charge of the guards, and the solemn atmosphere indicates that there are many important people here today.

Sure enough, most of the daimyo and merchants in Japan were invited by Lord Sekihaku, who was the regent, to come to Osaka for a meeting. The meeting was heated and the people under the castle were involuntarily attracted by the voice, and then they were driven away by the rough guards.

The hall was full of uproar, and the participants forgot the usual etiquette, put down the aristocratic shelves, and fought for it.

In the middle, on a tiger skin chair, sat Guan Bai. He was dressed in a golden robe, and his hair was already a little gray. This robe seems to be a little bigger, but in fact, Guan Bai was born a poor peasant and has a short stature. Sekihaku was dark-skinned and ugly, with a wrinkled face that resembled a newborn premature baby, and in the words of Prince Kitanonomiya, the emperor's younger brother and admirer of Sekihaku, he lived like a farmer. But he wasn't a farmer, at least as a child, and not now. Because he is Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who left a strong mark in history! Toyotomi Hideyoshi has a witty smile, a pair of piercing eyes, and a loud and cheerful voice. He is a person who loves to express his true feelings, just like the green tendons on his neck are always exposed. This is a rare character, who is always so serious in his work, and can speak very sincerely even when he tells lies. He wasn't as dull as he looked, he just knew how to be honest, whether it was honesty or truth, he had several sets ready, just as he had so many veins in his body. For example, when he misses his late master, Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's loyalty can even make him cry. On the other hand, however, he did not hand over the power of Oda Nobunaga to his son, but always carried out all kinds of activities, political and military, in order to take power into his own hands. In fact, it was with such an extraordinary ambition that he led his troops and horses to gallop across the country, and finally unified Japan.

Although he had just finished arguing with the daimyo and had not yet rested, Toyotomi Hideyoshi joined the quarrel again, "What is it called!" All of them are characters with heads and faces, but now they are as uneducated as the wilderness villagers! When Toyotomi Hideyoshi said this, he seemed to forget that he was also shouting loudly. The words had an effect, and the whole hall fell silent, and everyone took the opportunity to rest.

"It's been three days of discussion, why can't we reach an agreement? Can't you see how beneficial it is to send troops to North Korea? Toyotomi Hideyoshi exclaimed, his eyes darting over everyone's heads.

The Aizu daimyo Gamo clan stood up and shouted loudly, "Lord Sekihaku, Japan has just been reunified, and everything is waiting to be rebuilt. We should not start wars against foreign countries again, and it is the best policy to let the people recuperate well. ”

Toyotomi Hideyoshi also turned up the volume to the maximum and said like water: "It is precisely because Japan has been unified, so how should so many heroic samurai be placed?" This is a serious problem. It's impossible to let them go farming! Are you going to raise them? Japan is a small country, and the only way to develop is to move towards the mainland with its back to the sea. ”

"But North Korea is not very rich, and there is not much land." Someone objected.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi was speechless, he looked at everyone present, and his voice lowered, "Sooner or later, I'll know, so I'll tell you now." We are actually fighting North Korea to ......" Toyotomi Hideyoshi paused, so everyone felt that the atmosphere was not right.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi's face turned even redder, he seemed to be gathering strength, and the green tendons on his neck bulged. Finally, he called out, "We are actually fighting North Korea to attack Mingguo!" ”

There was an uproar in the crowd, and the hall exploded again, and it was even more noisy than before, almost chaotic, and the sound of the quarrel almost toppled the roof. Everyone knows that the Ming Kingdom is the Tang Kingdom that used to be!

The Gamo clan jumped up again, "Lord Sekihaku hasn't studied history. Why should Japan learn from the Tang Kingdom? Don't you know about the battle between us and the Tang State at the mouth of the Baekgang River in Korea? We're all wiped out in this battle! It was then that Japan learned from the Tang Kingdom. ”

Toyotomi Hideyoshi was disgusted by the mention of his origins, sarcastically and ridiculed him for not being well educated. He didn't understand how the people in the Gamo Township who were all about to enter the coffin were still so aggressive. But now we have to convince everyone, not to get angry, but to convince them. In a short period of time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi considered many factors. "Of course I know about the Battle of the White River Estuary, but that was almost a thousand years ago. We are learning from the Tang Kingdom, but now it is the Ming Kingdom. I'll talk about the closest ones, the 'Battle of Wenyong' and the 'Battle of Hong'an' more than 300 years ago. The fierce Mongols of the Yuan Dynasty launched two attacks on us from the sea, and hundreds of thousands of troops were almost wiped out by us, what a victory! ”

"It was the help of two typhoons." Someone added again.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi got angry, and his tone became strong, "No! That's not a typhoon, it's a kamikaze! Heaven blesses my Yamato nation. The Japanese pirates who gave the Ming a headache decades ago, or what they called 'Wako', were just ronins and peasants. And now, ours is an authentic Japanese samurai! What are you afraid of? ”

This remark really worked. But it was clear that few daimyo wanted to compete with the Western giants of the Ming Kingdom.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi turned around, pointed to a row of richly dressed merchants kneeling next to him, and said:

"These are representatives of merchants from Kyoto, Kyushu and other parts of the country. Hear what they have to say. With that, he nodded at the men and motioned for them to get up and speak.

A merchant stood up and saluted everyone, "The little one is from Kitakyushu, and has been trading with pirates and coastal dwellers there for many years, and has gained a lot. It's a pity that Ming Guo does not agree to trade with Japan, and we can only do smuggling. If we can get Ming Guo to agree to trade with us normally, then we can make more money! ”

At the mention of money, the audience was moved, and the crowd began to whisper, as if there was room for manoeuvre.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi sat down the merchant and continued: "Look, if you want the Ming Kingdom to agree to trade with us, you can only fight with him, but our naval army will definitely not be able to defeat the Ming Kingdom, and even the naval army of North Korea will be a problem, so we can only start from the land through Korea and directly take the capital of the Ming Kingdom, Beijing." At that time, we will be able to sweep more than 400 states in the Ming Kingdom. "Toyotomi Hideyoshi's speech was impassioned. After speaking, he swept the crowd with his eyes, "Tokugawa-den, you always don't say a word. I'd like to hear your opinion. ”

The chubby Tokugawa Ieyasu stood up slightly, and all eyes were on him, because he was the head of the daimyo and the only one who had defeated Toyotomi Hideyoshi on the battlefield. "Everything is up to Lord Guan Bai." Tokugawa Ieyasu whispered, and then sat down trembling slightly.

Looking at Tokugawa Ieyasu's indifferent appearance, Toyotomi Hideyoshi felt very uncomfortable, but he couldn't vent it, "Since Tokugawa Hall also said so, then it will be passed." ”

The others don't do it, they haven't thought about it yet!

"Lord Guan Bai, don't we have any other way than to fight?"

"Lord Guan Bai, the Ming country has more than two million troops, and we may not be able to win."

"What if we are defeated?"

………….

The hall boiled and roared again.

"Quiet!" Not to be outdone, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was not to be outdone. Finally, he got angry. "You can agree or disagree. There has to be a result today! I'll tell you the truth, when you came to Osaka, the conscription order was sent to the feudal domains. An attack on the DPRK is already on the verge of an arrow and has no choice but to attack. If you fight, you have to fight, and if you don't fight, you have to fight! Speaking of which, everyone was stunned and felt that they had been tricked by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, they shouted injustice, and the hall was in a mess, only Tokugawa Ieyasu was still drinking tea there and pretending to be stupid.

And what about Toyotomi Hideyoshi? I had already left everyone aside.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi's main room, the official name is Kitamassho, but Toyotomi Hideyoshi generally calls her nickname, Ningning. She is the ruler of the Toyotomi family, in the early years when Toyotomi Hideyoshi fought the world, she paid a lot for Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Toyotomi Hideyoshi is now a very human minister, with many beautiful and noble side rooms, he still loves his Ning Ning deeply. The North Politics Institute is straightforward and cheerful. Even after the official residence from the first one, she didn't put on a show at all, and always spoke the dialect of her birthplace, her hometown of Owari, and she didn't shy away from talking to Toyotomi Hideyoshi. She is very fat, but it is said that love is complementary, tall men like petite women, and the short Toyotomi Hideyoshi naturally likes Ning Ning's pink face.

Dinner was ready, Toyotomi Hideyoshi came in and picked up the bowl and devoured it, it seemed that the quarrel was still very physically exhausting.

"I'm starving." Toyotomi Hideyoshi wrapped his mouth full of rice and smiled at the Kitashosho.

Beizheng was in a hurry to eat. "Are you discussing sending troops to North Korea again today?"

Toyotomi Hideyoshi didn't seem to hear it, "This radish tastes very good, it's sweet and crispy, let's make it new." ”

"Are you discussing sending troops to North Korea again today?" Kitasa repeated it again, her voice a little quiet.

Suddenly, Toyotomi Hideyoshi stood up all of a sudden, threw the bowl to the ground, and shouted with food, "Nene Ning! Why, are you going to oppose me? ”

The surrounding maids were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt down and begged for forgiveness. But the North Politics Office still sat at the dinner table with the same face. Toyotomi Hideyoshi never suppressed his mood, and he couldn't keep his mouth shut all day long, either laughing and laughing loudly, or hysterical, so that everyone around him worried about whether he would go crazy because of it. She raised her head and looked at the furious Toyotomi Hideyoshi gently, and said casually, "How can I oppose my husband?" I have been supporting you for many years and have been quietly helping you behind your back. ”

I heard what the North Politics Office said. Toyotomi Hideyoshi's anger flew out of the clouds in an instant. He sat down again and took the maid's re-served meal and ate it with relish, "Then why are you asking this?" It's a men's business. ”

I would like to recommend you a Pioneer General. ”

Toyotomi Hideyoshi slowed down his eating, "I know who you're talking about."

"Do you think it's okay then?"

"No, absolutely not, maybe you're sad, but I don't want to get myself in trouble. Let's stop talking about it. After speaking, Toyotomi Hideyoshi threw the bowl away, "I'm full, I'll sleep elsewhere tonight." ”

Beizheng was a little unhappy in his heart, but he still pretended not to care, "I know where you are going." ”

Toyotomi Hideyoshi did not answer, and left in a hurry.

Looking at this, Kitamasa felt very uncomfortable, even though she knew that Toyotomi Hideyoshi would always love her. It's a pity that she can't give Toyotomi Hideyoshi a boy and half a girl. Not only her, but all the side rooms are not, and it seems that Toyotomi Hideyoshi himself has a problem. But tonight's woman did.

The bright moonlight shone into the room through the window, and also shone on Toyotomi Hideyoshi and the beautiful woman lying beside him. This beautiful woman was later called Yodohime, but Toyotomi Hideyoshi called her Chacha. Yodohime's origin is not small, his mother is the sister of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's owner, Oda Nobunaga, called Aichi. Toyotomi Hideyoshi has always been thinking about Aichi, but unfortunately at that time he was still called Hashiba Hideyoshi and had no status, not the surname that was given to Toyoshi by the emperor now, so he didn't have the capital to chase Aichi at all. Later, Aichi's husband was forced to fight with Oda Nobunaga and died in defeat. Toyotomi Hideyoshi and another general named Shibata Katsuya fought for the widow's Aichi, but Toyotomi Hideyoshi lost again. Later, Toyotomi Hideyoshi finally defeated Shibata Katsuie, but Aichi and Shibata Katsuya were **. Not getting Aichi left Toyotomi Hideyoshi with a lifelong regret. Fortunately, he got Yodohime, the daughter of Ashi, and a crazy idea was formed in the head of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a strange man: to get Ashi's daughter.

At this time, Yodohime was already asleep, while Toyotomi Hideyoshi was awake. Toyotomi Hideyoshi was surrounded by many beautiful aristocratic women, who were very good to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi was also very good to them, which flattered those noble women. Toyotomi Hideyoshi is better to Yodohime, but Yodohime doesn't appreciate it, she has always been willful to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but Toyotomi Hideyoshi has always let her. Toyotomi Hideyoshi liked aristocratic women, but he liked aristocratic women from samurai families. In his mind, only the women of the family of the former lord Oda Nobunaga are real nobles and even fairies in the sky, and the others are just vulgar fans.

He recalled the first time with Yodohime. It was a rainy night. Toyotomi Hideyoshi rushed back to Osaka on the long front. "I've been with Cha Cha for so long, he is not generally good to Cha Cha, and the stone should be melted." Thinking so, he came to Yodohime's residence. Before that, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi saw the fully developed Yodohime, he was fascinated and really looked too much like Aichi. He was greeted by Yodohime's wet nurse, a man who had been bought by Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi gave a box to the nurse with both hands, "This is my poem." It was modified with the help of Hosokawa Yusai.,It's not well written.,Please forgive me.。 The nurse understood, picked up the box and took Toyotomi Hideyoshi to Yodohime's room.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi was very enthusiastic about writing poetry for a while, and out of the need to communicate with the nobles in the imperial court, he was trying to learn the customs of the nobles. The nurse also knows this. However, is it necessary to imitate the aristocracy even when it comes to love? Or is Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a genius who seduces women, only when he treats Yodohime, want to show respect for Yodohime through such fashionable tricks? Otherwise, it was Toyotomi Hideyoshi who was deliberately joking to avoid asking questions nakedly.

Yodohime, who was nervous in the room, hurriedly took the box and opened it

In his sleep, the soul flew to Osaka Castle.

Happy tonight.

I wish people the best of the day, sharing a bed pillow.

The poem fits the rhythm of the tanka very well, and the meaning is clear.

"Please tell Lord Guan Bai that I've been feeling unwell lately." She refused.

When the wet nurse told Toyotomi Hideyoshi about this, Toyotomi Hideyoshi tore off his elegant disguise, revealing the nature of a troubled hero, and he ordered sharply: "Tell her to stay in the bedroom and lie down and wait for me." ”

Then Toyotomi Hideyoshi went straight in and extinguished the light with water from a vase in the alcove......

The angry Yodohime gave birth to a son named Tsurumatsu for Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Although Tsurumatsu died later, Toyotomi Hideyoshi always loved Yodohime very much, and more hoped that Yodohime could give him a child so that he could inherit his great cause of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, he still loved Kitamasa, and he said to Kitamasa that it was Yodohime's child, not his Toyotomi Hideyoshi's child.

Thinking of this, Toyotomi Hideyoshi raised his head, and the moonlight was still very bright.

Early the next morning, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was woken up, and it turned out that someone was asking to see him. So he went to the hall and sat down, holding his head in his hands.

Outside the door, there was a rhythmic sound of footsteps from far and near, and after a while. A strong, athletic aristocratic young man entered. His name is Kato Aomasa, and he has an extraordinary bearing, one of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's adopted sons, and one of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's "Seven Guns".

Kato Aomasa kowtowed respectfully to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and said with a full sense of anger: "Thank you very much for your kindness, and I have been made a pioneer general." ”

Toyotomi Hideyoshi waved his hand very generously, sat up straight, and laughed. "That's what you deserve. I know that you are very meritorious and detributive, so as soon as your adoptive mother said it at dinner yesterday, I agreed, and I have always admired you. ”

Kato Aomasa kowtowed to Toyotomi Hideyoshi again, "I will definitely live up to your trust, go to the soup and fight the fire, and never give up!" ”

"It's not okay to die, you, and everyone else have to come back alive! How many stone territories do you have now? ”

"This, I have made meritorious achievements in the Battle of Mt. Shizhi, and I am already a small daimyo of three thousand stones." Kiyomasa Kato was a little embarrassed.

"With this bit of land, where did you get the army and the food to supply the army?" Toyotomi Hideyoshi asked solemnly.

"I don't know. But even if there is only one soldier, I will be loyal to the adults," said Kato Kiyomasa.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi nodded with satisfaction, "You're not right, you and I should both be loyal to His Royal Highness the Emperor." Then he looked at Kato Qingmasa and said lightly: "Since you are now a pioneer general, your territory should be in line with your identity, and I will give you half of the fertile Kyushu, that is, 250,000 stones." ”

From 3,000 stone to 250,000 stone, after the dizzy promotion, Kato Qingmasa did not reflect much, worthy of being a nobleman, "I can't repay the great kindness of the adults, as long as I kill more enemies." Conquer the land for Japan! ”

"Good! Not bad. You have to work hard and work well with your partner, another pioneer general. Toyotomi Hideyoshi smiled.

Kato Aomasa was stunned for a moment, "Excuse me, my lord, who is the other pioneer general?" ”

Toyotomi Hideyoshi put on his clothes, "Konishi Yukicho." ”

"What? That Konishi Yuki, who was born in a medicine shop! Kato Aomasa shouted.

Konishi Yukinaga is a talent discovered by Toyotomi Hideyoshi when he was a general under Oda Nobunaga. Because of his resourcefulness and good diplomacy, he helped Toyotomi Hideyoshi a lot, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi took him as his subordinate as a junior staff officer, and let him travel to many places. After seizing power, it was only natural that Toyotomi Hideyoshi should reuse a soldier who was good at field siege like Kato Seimasa, to an administrative talent with an economic vision, such as Konishi Yukinaga. In addition, Konishi's family has been proficient in trade with Korea for generations, and Konishi has crossed the sea to Korea several times, and is well versed in the geography and political situation of the mountains and rivers of Korea, and is also fluent in Korean and Chinese. These experiences and abilities were very attractive to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, so he planned to let Konishi Yukicho take charge of diplomatic work with North Korea, and when he sent troops to conscript, he and Kato Seimasa could cooperate to jointly take on the burden of being a pioneer general. Kato Aomasa's bravery, coupled with the resourcefulness and diplomatic knowledge of Konishi Yuki, if the two can cooperate with each other, then the Japanese army will simply be like a tiger with wings.

"What? Do you have an opinion? Toyotomi Hideyoshi didn't smile.

"I don't dare, and I don't have an opinion about adults. I just lament the decline of the world, the vicissitudes of the sea, the kind of samurai who have no martial arts, but only flattery and flatter you on the pavement of the government, but who are more and more important than those who have made great military achievements. The so-called samurai are valuable only if they have martial arts. ”

"Bastard! It's a shame that you look so good, you have to rely on your brains to do things! My martial arts are not good, but I won the world. Toyotomi Hideyoshi was a little annoyed.

Kato Aomasa's temper is very stubborn, "I don't have a good relationship with him. If that's the case, then," he hesitated, "then I can't guarantee that this general will be good!" ”

Toyotomi Hideyoshi was a little angry, "Okay! You dare to be arrogant! Now you're good to go! Naturally, I'll find someone better than you! ”

Kato Seomasa didn't say anything more, got up and bowed to Toyotomi Hideyoshi and left angrily.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi's anger slowly subsided, and he knew that he couldn't be a pioneer general without Kato Aoi. So he moved out of the honor of a samurai and asked Kato Seomasa to obey the arrangement and put the interests of Japan first, so he summoned Kato Kiyomasa back with dignity. Who else can use such political skills and ways of employing people except Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
