"It is worthy of His Royal Highness Taige, in the end, he is a strong man who ended the mud bombardment and turmoil, and he actually came up with such a good way at such a critical juncture"

Lying comfortably in the carriage, Ishida Mitsunari secretly praised Toyotomi Hideyoshi's witty mind while thinking about how to convince the Gomine fleet.

In 1574, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi became the lord of Nagahama Castle, Ishida Mitsunari was 15 years old. At that time, Mitsuri became a boy in a certain temple, one day Hideyoshi went out hunting, thirsty to the temple to drink tea, Mitsunari served a large bowl of herbal tea, Hideyoshi drank it all. Later, he took half a bowl of slightly warm tea, and Hideyoshi drank it too. Then Sancheng offered a small bowl of hotter tea, Hideyoshi drank it again, so he asked Sancheng, why so, Sancheng replied, because the adults are tired and thirsty, this first cup of tea is used to quench thirst, so a large bowl of herbal tea is used, the second cup is because the adults are basically no longer thirsty, so a little warm tea, the most after the adults are also quiet, when the mouth is not thirsty, then on the hot tea, adults will taste the taste. The abbot reprimanded Mitsunari for being rude, but Mitsunari won Hideyoshi's trust and became Hideyoshi's attendant. This story shows that Mitsunari had a keen intellect since he was a child, and he was able to detect Hideyoshi's intentions astutely, and his words and actions were in line with Hideyoshi's heart.

Ishida Mitsunari (1560 – November 6, 1600) was a Japanese military commander during the Sengoku period and the Azuchi-Momoyama period. His father is Masatsugu Ishida, whose young name is Sakichi. It is a native of Ishida-mura, Sakata-gun, Omi. At the age of fifteen, he saw Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was the lord of Omi Nagahama Castle. Serve as his attendant. With his handsome appearance and quick thinking, he was loved by Hideyoshi. As the head of the five commissions, he took charge of state affairs, and emerged as a cronie of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and played a great leadership role in domestic affairs and military quartermasters, but he was despised by the military generals of the same Toyotomi department because he was not good at military command, but he had a "rebellious" relationship with Konishi Yukicho, who was killed in North Korea, and Ishida Mitsunari was also very sad, and then he got Konishi Yukiga's territory, property, and beautiful wife and concubine into his own hands, and claimed to be in charge of his friends. also took the trouble to get a suicide note.

"This guy is shameless and obscene by robbers. Yukicho Konishi is really blind. actually knows such a shameless thing" The people who know this matter are all secretly scolding Ishida Mitsunari hypocrites behind their backs. Although they are not a good thing, and they will definitely take advantage of some people to fall into the well at a critical moment, they are all open-minded and open-fire robbery. There has never been a person as shameless as Ishida Mitsunari who is full of benevolence and morality. but they were blackened by these robbers.

But this kind of thing dares to talk about it behind your back. Ishida Mitsunari is Toyotomi Hideyoshi's "favorite concubine", in case you offend him, blow the pillow wind to you at night. His Royal Highness Taiko must wear small shoes. Didn't you see that Kiyomasa Kato and Masanori Fukushima were even greedy for military exploits, but Yukinaga Konishi was highly meritorious?

Although he was despised and looked down upon behind his back, Ishida Mitsunari didn't care at all: Lao Tzu is now prosperous and enjoys glory and wealth, so it's better than you poor ghosts who are jealous of me. Only then did Toyotomi Hideyoshi order him to contact the Gomine fleet, and Ishida Mitsunari did not dare to slack off, packed his luggage and set off with a few escorts.

Because of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's self-righteous idiotic behavior before, he fought with the Goho fleet, but instead he lost his troops and finally had to bow to the Goho fleet. At present, the Wufeng fleet has been lurking in the entire mud bombardment, except for Echigo, who has an excellent relationship with the Wufeng fleet, it is difficult to find traces of the Wufeng fleet in the entire mud bombardment.

After five days of non-stop trekking, Ishida Mitsunari finally arrived in Echigo:

Echigo Province: One of the ancient Japanese kingdoms of the Reido Province, it belonged to Hokuriku Province, also known as Echishu Province, and the territory of Echigo Province was equivalent to Niigata Prefecture (except Sado Island) in later generations. Facing the Sea of Japan, Hokuriku is a country that is narrow from north to south.

As Ishida Mitsunari expected, as soon as he entered Echigo, he successfully found the person in charge of the Wufeng fleet in Echigo through the spies planted by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in Echigo: Li Yuncong.

"Oh!? His Royal Highness Taige is really generous! Before, he wanted to take it by force, thinking that our Wufeng fleet was easy to bully, and wanted to use us as pigs. As a result, as soon as we fought, we realized how powerful we were, and sued for peace with us, but it still ruined the business of our Wufeng fleet in the entire mud bombardment. Mr. Ishida, do you know how many years it took our Wufeng fleet to achieve so much in the mud bombardment, and it was ruined by His Highness Taiko's words. Now there is a shameless desire for us to send troops to fight the Koreans? He also promised us a lot of illusory things, without any real money at all, isn't this playing fools on our Wufeng fleet? After listening to Ishida Mitsunari's narration with an impatient face, Li Yuncong said bluntly.

"Hehe, it was just some misunderstanding before, His Royal Highness Taige just hoped that your fleet would not sell supplies and iron cannons to His Highness's enemies, and your fleet may have misunderstood His Highness's thoughts, so it will start a war rashly. Didn't His Royal Highness Taige, the Empress Taige, also use his broad mind to take the initiative to apologize and admit his mistake? Now these promises really don't seem very reliable, but your fleet should know the credit of His Royal Highness Dao Taiko in the mud, and it will definitely be fulfilled when the time comes, and your fleet doesn't need to worry" Talking nonsense that deceives ghosts and ghosts, Ishida Mitsunari secretly looked at Li Yuncong's expression, wanting to see what the other party thought.

"The devil of the dog day, Lao Tzu believes that you have a ghost" secretly scolded the devil in his heart, but Li Yuncong remembered the secret letter sent by the young ship owner recently:

"Pretend to cooperate with the devils, lure more devils to North Korea, and wait for my order to completely cut off the route of the devils to withdraw from the mud bombardment as soon as they arrive, and let these devils go to the sea to feed Wang Ba!"

With a roll of his eyes, Li Yuncong began to bargain with Ishida Mitsunari according to the plan he had discussed with Mao Haifeng and others before, showing that he was really moved by the conditions proposed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but he also wanted to obtain greater benefits. And Ishida Mitsunari did not show weakness, and sternly refused to claim that this was the most difficult condition, and the army in charge of His Royal Highness Taiko would definitely sweep the stronghold of the Echigo Goho fleet, so that it would have no place to stand in the mud bombardment.

The two of them quarreled with each other, arguing back and forth, and after three days of discussion, they did not come up with a contract that satisfied both parties. And at this moment, Kai's Tartars finally couldn't bear the loneliness and launched a war against Owari and Junhe, and an army composed of tens of thousands of devil cannon fodder and 8,000 Tartar cavalry smashed into Owari Kiyoshu Castle.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who had no expectation of the Tartar attack, when he learned that his favorite woman Yodo-kun had been taken by the Tartars OOXX, flew into a rage and ordered Maeda Toshiie to lead an army to attack. Deeply uneasy and reluctant to gain benefits in Korea, Toyotomi Hideyoshi mobilized tens of thousands of troops to attack the Tartars, and on the other hand, ordered Ishida Mitsunari to reach an agreement with the Goho fleet as soon as possible, so that he could send troops to assist his naval division to defeat Yi Sunsin as soon as possible and gain sea control in Korean waters.

In the end, Ishida Mitsunari made an agreement with the Goho fleet represented by Li Yuncong, under which Toyotomi Hideyoshi would pay 50,000 taels of gold to compensate for the losses of the previous Goho flotilla, and all the business of the Goho flotilla in the mud bomb would not pay any taxes from now on, and the daimyo and local lords would have to support and send troops to protect them.

The Gobong fleet dispatched 50 new warships to the Korean waters to help Guki Gharyong and others, defeat the Korean Jeolla Provincial Navy Commander Yi Sunsin, and wipe out all the Korean naval forces. All the spoils of war went to the Wufeng fleet, and at the same time, the Wufeng fleet needed to protect the smooth waterway from the mud bombardment to North Korea.

After signing the contract, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who had been in a hurry for a long time, quickly paid 50,000 taels of gold, and at the same time, the merchants of the Goho fleet reappeared in the mud bombardment. But no one noticed that these merchants were no longer pure businessmen, they were all members of the Falcon and Fox, pretending to be everywhere to gather information and prepare for the army to log in and cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi's original intention was to use the Wufeng fleet to deal with the Korean sailors, and when the two sides were defeated, he was leading people to enjoy the benefits of the fisherman. But he never expected that what he invited this time was not a sandpiper mussel, but a tiger that chose people to devour.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi thinks he is very smart, but in fact he is just luring the wolf into the house, making the whole mud bomb finally turn into a Shura hell! (To be continued......)
