"And the big names, they didn't dare to do it when your grandfather was here, but not necessarily now. If you want to suppress them, you need strong strength, and once you lose the battle with the Ming army, maybe they will rebel en masse, so you must be cautious in this matter. ”

Speaking of this, Tokugawa Hidetada sighed softly.

Just before Tokugawa Ieyasu died, rumors were raging everywhere in Edo that Date Masamune was going to rebel.

Fortunately, he didn't rebel in the end, otherwise Tokugawa Hidetada really didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to survive the years that made him panic.

Tokugawa Iemitsu was silent for a while, and then said, "I understand, I promise that I will not take the initiative to send troops to the Ming Dynasty." ”

Tokugawa Hidetada nodded with a relieved face, and then said with some concern: "But you can't be careless, all preparations for war must be done." I think that King Wu is very ambitious, and I am afraid that sooner or later we and the Ming Dynasty will have a war. ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu also deeply agreed with Hidetada's words.

Judging from Lu Yan's recent behavior, this is an extremely aggressive person.

He broke with China's millennia-old tradition of expanding to the sea, and after this war, I am afraid that the Han people will really have their eyes on the sea.

The hatred between the Ming Dynasty and Japan is so deep, I'm afraid that sooner or later there will be a fight.

As soon as he thought of this, Tokugawa Iemitsu felt a lot of pressure.

The Japanese heroic expeditionary army failed back then, so could he stop the attack of the Ming Dynasty?

Tokugawa Iemitsu and his son discussed some more things about preparations for war, and it was not until an hour later that Iemitsu left the area.

After leaving Tokugawa Hidetada's room, Yagyu asked, "Shogun, how are things discussed?" ”

Yagyu Shibei also looked at Tokugawa Iemitsu with one eye. He is also very concerned about the outcome of the matter.

Tokugawa Iemitsu sighed softly, and then said, "Let's prepare for war first." ”

After all, he is a young man, and he really can't erase his face if he admits that he doesn't dare to take revenge in front of Yanagi's father and son.

Yagyu knew the Tokugawa family very well, and it could be seen from his face that Tokugawa Hidetada was afraid that he would not agree to send troops to retaliate.

"Let's go, let's gather the elders of the family to discuss."

Tokugawa Iemitsu said.

When he thought of the daimyo and the temples that were in full swing, he felt a headache.

Yanagawa Muneju and Yanagawa Shibei nodded. Then he followed Tokugawa Iemitsu and left here.

*****

*****

Suruga Castle, Suruga Nayan, Tokugawa Iemitsu's younger brother Tokugawa Tadanaga, and his family elders Toi Tosa and Asakura Chikugo were also discussing the same thing.

"That King Wu is really daring, and he dares to capture the people of our kingdom of God. Do you say he really intends to attack us, Japan? ”

Although Zhongchang was very dissatisfied with Lu Yan's behavior, his face was a little excited.

Because only when Japan is in chaos can he ascend to the throne of the general of Zhengyi. If there was a big war between the Ming Dynasty and Japan, it would definitely be the best chance.

In fact, Tadacho and his elder brother Iemitsu have always been at odds, and they have not allowed each other to do many things since childhood.

Tadanaga looked down on his stuttering brother and thought he was stupid, and his mother, the Asai clan, supported him as the general of the Seiyi.

It's a pity that in the end, his father passed the throne to Iemitsu.

But Tadashi didn't give up. He was still thinking about how he could take Tokugawa Iemitsu's place.

He even openly insulted his brother, and the contradiction between the two brothers is known to the whole country.

Of course, Tokugawa Iemitsu knew his brother's thoughts.

After the death of his father and mother, Tokugawa Iemitsu immediately forced his younger brother to commit suicide, and the aftermath was solved forever.

As for Tadanaga's thoughts, Torii Tosa and Asakura Chikugo are all too clear.

"I guess that's unlikely. Our kingdom of God is no better than those barbarian countries in the South Seas, when Mongolia failed to conquer our country, let alone the Ming Dynasty. ”

Speaking of which. Torii Tosa felt a wave of pride.

No matter how powerful the Mongol Empire was back then, it was not that they were in Japan.

"Moreover, there are two great enemies in the north of the Ming Dynasty, Houjin and Mongolia, and I heard that King Wu has long been plotting rebellion. I'm afraid he won't have much to do to attack us. ”

Hearing this, Zhongchang couldn't help but nodded.

If you want to attack Japan, don't even think about it without an army of more than 100,000, that King Wu has just occupied the entire Nanyang, and these places need him to allocate troops to station, and he will draw more than 100,000 troops from somewhere.

"I'm afraid this news was released by those who want to stir up the situation or hurt their interests in the matter. They wanted to force the general to fight a decisive battle with the Ming Dynasty, and they were also in a hurry. ”

Asakura said after the requisition.

Tadashi nodded. I think they made a lot of sense.

At that time, Oda Nobunaga's great cause collapsed due to the change of Honnoji Temple, and after the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. His great cause was immediately replaced by Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Peace is not in the interests of some daimyos, and only if they are messed up will they have a chance.

Many daimyo may have been thinking about how to rebuild the hegemony of Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

"So do you think we can do something about it too? If they don't want to fight, can we find a way to force them to fight? ”

Chung Chang thought for a moment and said.

Torii Tosa thought for a while, and then said, "Of course there is a way, but I'm afraid that the Lord of the Great Imperial Palace will be unhappy when he finds out." ”

Hearing this, a trace of hesitation appeared on Zhongchang's face, the reason why he could live so arrogantly was completely due to the favor of his father and mother.

If Xiuzhong is dissatisfied, it is not in his interest.

But soon he gritted his teeth and said: "It doesn't matter if you say it, the Ming Dynasty dared to arrest our people, and it is righteous for us to find a way to avenge them." ”

Torii Tosa and Asakura Chikugo glanced at each other, and they weren't surprised by Tadanaga's decision.

Because he was born with a golden key in his mouth, he has an arrogant personality, like a spoiled child.

"We can join forces with some daimyo to put pressure on the shogun to find justice for us. At the same time, some unfavorable remarks were spread everywhere. said that he was timid and fearful, and he was not worthy of taking over the position of general at all. ”

Tosa Torii said with a cough.

Hearing this, Chung Chang smiled and nodded.

It has been less than a year since Tokugawa Iemitsu took over the position of Shogun, and his position has not yet been secured.

If there is talk of bad news about him throughout the country, then he must feel a lot of pressure.

"We can also use the slogan of revenge. Find a way to instigate some daimyo to hire wandering samurai to attack the fleet and even fishermen of the Ming Dynasty, if it doesn't work once, twice, and if it doesn't work twice, it will be three times, and I believe that sooner or later the Ming Dynasty will be angry. ”

Asakura Chikugo also said.

Tadashi nodded, it was also a good idea.

Those wandering samurai made their fortune from war.

The Warring States period can be said to be the most nourishing time they lived, once there was a war. They would accept the employment of the daimyo.

Those who are lucky and have made meritorious deeds can become samurai with fiefdoms, and even go one step further to become a daimyo.

Even if they don't take much credit, they will receive a good sum of money.

So they can live a life of spending and drinking for the next year.

For this peaceful life, those wandering samurai can be said to be the most dissatisfied, because then they will not make any money at all. I don't know how many people don't have enough to eat because of peace.

Tadashi believed that for spending some money, he would be able to hire a large number of wandering samurai to serve him.

"I heard that King Wu killed all the Nanban (i.e., Westerners) in Manila because they slaughtered the Tang people there (the Japanese generally call the Han Chinese the Tang people). I think we can encourage those great names to arrest all the Tang people in our country, or kill them, so that we can definitely anger King Wu. ”

Uju Tosa continued.

"Nice idea!"

Chung Chang couldn't help but praise loudly.

So one poisonous plan after another was discussed by them, just to be able to force the Ming Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom to have a big war.

The same thing happened in many different parts of the Wa Kingdom, where many daimyo dreamed of being able to achieve the hegemony of Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and only by chaos could they take advantage of the situation.

That's it. Under the impetus of various forces, the internal turmoil of the Wa Kingdom became turbulent.

Many daimyo signed a letter demanding that Tokugawa Ieyasu demand revenge for the captured Japanese merchants.

Tokugawa Iemitsu was young after all. And not long after coming to power, there is not much prestige at all.

Faced with such a completely reasonable request, Tokugawa Iemitsu did not know how to deal with it.

If you promise to send troops to the Ming Dynasty, then it is likely to be a big defeat.

He is not Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and once he fails, he will not be able to suppress those daimyo who are about to move.

So he could only find a way to drag this matter out.

Seeing Tokugawa Iemitsu so cowardly, it made those daimyo look down on him a little.

Many of these daimyo were generals who fought all the way from the Warring States period. Only the strong can make them admire.

Tokugawa Iemitsu's shrunken turtle behavior undoubtedly caused his prestige to plummet in the country.

In this regard, Zhongchang and the others were of course overjoyed.

So then under the summons of some daimyo and even damaged merchants and temples. A number of wandering samurai were summoned and chanted slogans of revenge to launch an active attack on Jeju Island, North Korea, and even Taiwan.

In the face of this behavior of theirs. Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't say anything to stop it.

After all, he is also a hot-blooded young man, and he is still very dissatisfied with Lu Yan's behavior, and even in history, he once had the idea of an expedition to the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, those big names are willing to teach Lu Yan some lessons, and he is still optimistic.

In addition, there was also a wave of anti-Chinese in the country.

Some samurai saw the Tang people and beheaded them on the spot, and in the Wa Kingdom, at least until the Meiji Restoration, samurai could kill civilians simply for offending.

They will only receive very minor or even no punishment afterwards. (To be continued)

ps: Very gods and horses are all cups and tips.

I was disappointed by the various results of this book, and I had the urge to be a eunuch.

However, I thought that people can't go on like this forever, so I decided to try to write about it.

Now I'm saving a few days' drafts, and then uploading them once and distributing them regularly in the background.

Post one chapter a day and try to keep it updated stably.

To be honest, I'm a little confused right now.

There was some hesitation, but in short, the whole person was in a bad mood.

This may be the last one written under this pseudonym.,I hope you can support it.。
