"Hahaha, the taste of Korean kimchi is really good! Bring me another bowl of rice."

Behind the Busan devils, Tokugawa Ieyasu was comfortably enjoying his breakfast, a large bowl of Korean kimchi, a few roasted oily saury, a slice of beef as thin as a cicada's wings, and the old turtle who had been eating pickled radish and a small bowl of rice was called elated.

The old turtle was strictly unlucky in this life, and at the age of four, he was sent by his father to the Imagawa family as a hostage, and it was not until his father was braided that he was able to return home as the head of the family and continue to be a dog for the Imagawa family. In this way, he waged his tail and begged for mercy to pretend that he didn't know how many years his grandson had been in the road, and finally survived until Imagawa Yoshimoto was killed by Oda Nobunaga, and then the shotgun was changed to kill Imagawa Yoshimoto's wife and children, and he became a daimyo independently.

As a result, just as the old turtle was pretending to be a grandson with the Sixth Heaven Demon King and trying to develop his own power, the Wufeng fleet was born to form an alliance with the Sixth Heaven Demon King, which greatly reduced the role of the old turtle and was not treated well by the Sixth Heaven Demon King. Then came a rebellion of the Jurchens and Mongol slaves, which did not kill the old tortoise, but it also caused great damage to its vitality. After losing the qualification to argue with Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the last had to take refuge in Toyotomi Hideyoshi as soon as possible after the death of the demon king on the sixth day, so as to barely keep the existing territory.

All this is really painful for the old turtle: in order to keep his status, family and power, he was not present when his father died. was forced by the demon king on the sixth day to kill his own son, this kind of thing is honest, if someone else had changed it, he would have rebelled and pulled the pole to do it alone.

But the old turtle endured it, and he silently oppressed the people in the territory, looted the people's fat and ointment, and used the looted gold, silver and jewelry to buy and curry favor with Toyotomi Hideyoshi and his generals and advisers. At the same time, he mobilized all the forces in the territory to recruit troops, and purchased a large number of ordnance and materials with the Wufeng fleet. He decided: the emperor will take turns to do it, and this year he will come to my house. Didn't you bully me and look down on me before, just by relying on your power? Relying on your great strength? Lao Tzu wants to kill you all, and his wife and children will not let go. Be the supreme master of the mud bombardment!

Now the old turtle has seen the light. He risked his life to come to North Korea to take charge of the North Korean mud bombardment army, secretly allied with Li Rusong, and prepared to kill all the descendants of Toyotomi Hideyoshi in Korea.

And secretly the old turtle has contacted the Wufeng fleet. A large number of warships from the Five Peaks fleet were hired. Guarantee that you can escape North Korea as soon as possible.

What made the old turtle most happy was that Li Rusong lived up to his expectations. Da Yuepo killed more than 30,000 devil soldiers in one go, most of them were Toyotomi Hideyoshi's descendants!

The ecstatic old turtle didn't know that Kato Kiyomasa was also dead at this time, otherwise he would probably be a little happier.

"Loyalty. Is there any movement in Huangzhou at present? Wiping his mouth with a sigh of relief, the old turtle continued to eat kimchi greedily as he asked a retainer beside him.

"My lord, according to your orders, five groups of spies have been arranged to go to Huangzhou. As soon as there is a disturbance, it will be reported immediately. Don't worry," he said calmly after kneeling respectfully on the tatami mat and bowing to the ground.

Honda Tadashi was born on February 8 in the 17th year of Honda Tadashi Astronomical (1548) in Mikawa, and was the eldest son of Honda Tadashi, whose young name was Nabenosuke, commonly known as Heihachiro.

At that time, the Tokugawa family, still called the Matsudaira clan, was subordinate to the 'East China Sea giant' Imagawa Yoshimoto, and the Matsudaira family had been weak since Kiyoyasu, and was sandwiched between the Oda clan in Owari and the Imagawa clan in the East China Sea. As the Matsudaira clan fell to the Imagawa clan and the family governor Hirotada was killed, the youngest son Takechiyo (Tokugawa Ieyasu's milk name) became a hostage of the Imagawa clan, and the Matsudaira retainers thus became the vanguard of the Imagawa clan against the Oda clan. When Honda Tadataka was not yet born, Honda Tadashi fought against Oda Nobuhide in Ansho Castle, and died of massive bleeding from multiple arrows in his body, at the age of twenty-two, and before he died, he shouted "Nabenosuke, become a great samurai!" Having lost his father, Tadashi and his mother, Koyo, moved to Dong Village, where they learned calligraphy, martial arts, marksmanship, and other skills.

Matsudaira Motoyasu and Oda Nobunaga formed the famous "Kiyosu Kaild", and when Motoyasu arrived at Kiyosu Castle, the Oda clan's retainers and soldiers did not respect Tokugawa Ieyasu's attitude, and Honda Tadakatsu immediately stepped forward and shouted: "His Royal Highness Motoyasu of Mikawa has formed an alliance with Oda Hall of Owari for the friendship of friends. I have come to meet you today, and you don't know the way of courtesy, but instead act rudely, is this the way to treat friendships? Please be disciplined! Such a big shout shocked the soldiers and retainers on the spot, and they were silent on the spot, and Yuankang was also very happy.

After the Kiyosu Alliance, Tokugawa Ieyasu's main force in pacifying and unifying Mikawa, for this purpose to implement a series of improvements, but because the implementation was too urgent, finally in September of the following year, the Mikawa has always been a one, Ichijo Zong everywhere disturbed, Tokugawa Ieyasu ordered Honda Tadakatsu and Kamihara Yasumasa and other troops to peace, Honda Tadakatsu wore a newly made antler pocket and Tokugawa Ieyasu's new famous gun "Dragonfly Cut" set off, when a crowd saw Tadakatsu, shouted "This is Dragonfly Cut no Heihachiro!" In December, Honda Tadakatsu and others attacked the base of Ichikumiya Temple and Katsutsuji Temple, defeated its head bee house and half of the castle, Mikawa Ichikasu was pacified, and Tokugawa Ieyasu was rewarded for his meritorious deeds at Myogenji Temple after the war, and Tadatsu won the feeling of "meritorious service", and since then he has been recognized as the first fierce general of the Matsudaira family.

After the pacification of the first time, Tokugawa Ieyasu continued to unify Mikawa, first capturing Yoshiwara Castle and then Tahara Castle in February of the 8th year of Eiroku (1565) to unify Mikawa. After taking full possession of Mikawa, Tokugawa Ieyasu began to expand externally, and due to the incompetence of the Imagawa clan, Tokugawa Ieyasu sent troops to Enoe. At the same time, in April of the following year, Tokugawa Ieyasu gave the nineteen-year-old Honda Tadakatsu 36,000 stones, and appointed Honda Tadakatsu as the captain of the cavalry, proving Tokugawa Ieyasu's recognition of Honda's merits. Honda Tadakatsu, who became the captain of the cavalry, was more active, and personally led the cavalry to the suburbs for field training every day, in order to strengthen the speed, Honda Tadakatsu carried out speed training, and led the gallop in the field, so Honda Tadakatsu was called "Mikawa Flying General". In order to enhance his combat effectiveness, Honda Tadashi joined artillery shooting training in addition to cavalry training, which greatly improved the combat effectiveness of Mikawa soldiers.

It can be said that Honda Tadakatsu is the only person in Tokugawa Old Tortoise who can trust him wholeheartedly in his life, and he is also one of the few fierce generals under the command of Old Tortoise.

"Well, the next thing is to use my official position to let Toyotomi Hideyoshi's monkey subordinates go to death one by one. There can't be too many people, otherwise the Ming army won't be able to bear it, and it will be easy to expose me. At the critical moment, you can use the idiot of Uesugi Keikatsu to confuse the public, but if you can't do it, you can sacrifice a small amount of the family's strength. But there must not be too much, otherwise we will lose the opportunity to dominate the world in the future" While eating kimchi, Tokugawa Ieyasu squinted his eyes and said, the whole person is like a poisonous snake that chooses people and devours them.

At this time, a ninja of the Tokugawa family walked in and respectfully raised a letter above his head, which seemed to be a secret letter sent by Huangzhou.

Honda Tadakatsu took the initiative to step forward, took the letter, and after making sure that there was nothing to do, handed it to Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was sitting on the main seat. The latter took the letter with a nervous face, and after a few glances, he stood up excitedly, yelling and dancing with ecstasy:

"Zhongsheng is really God help me! The Ming army attacked Huangzhou in a big way, Kato Kiyomasa was killed, Kuroda Nagamasa and others gathered a large army and prepared to fight to the death with the Ming army! Haha

Looking at the old Tokugawa turtle who looked like crazy, Honda Tadakatsu didn't say anything, but turned around and ordered the troops to start assembling and prepare to march like Huangzhou, and at the same time contacted Uesugi Keikatsu and asked him to send troops to Huangzhou to assist him.

According to the plan formulated by the old turtle before, if Toyotomi Hideyoshi's descendants attacked the Ming army on a large scale, it would be out of self-interest. The Tokugawa army's army must follow, on the one hand, to show loyalty, and on the other hand, when the-stirring stick took advantage of the battle between the two armies, to help the Ming army defeat Toyotomi Hideyoshi's army, and completely bury Toyotomi Hideyoshi's main army.

Just then, the second wave of messengers arrived:

"Oh no! My lord, we have been betrayed! The messenger did not even look at Honda Tadakatsu, who was standing at the door, ready to go out on an errand, and ran into the house desperately foaming at the mouth, shouting eagerly.

"Nani?" Honda Tadakatsu, who was still running away, hurriedly walked back, snatched the letter from the messenger's hand, and ignored the old Tokugawa turtle who was still nervous, and opened it and saw:

"Kuroda Kanwei has already gone to North Korea, and he has seen through the collusion between the adults and the Ming army, and is leading an army of 60,000 to Pusan. There are still more than 100,000 troops coming towards Busan, and Uesugi Keikatsu has been surrounded, so prepare for the adults."

Honda Tadakatsu suddenly felt the world spinning, and almost fell to the ground, barely stabilized his mind, and trembled and handed the letter to the Tokugawa old turtle who was in a daze on the side:

"My lord, this is the time for us! Hurry up and contact the Wufeng fleet, we still have time to escape back to the mud bombardment."

With an unbelievable face, he took the letter from Honda Tadakatsu's hand, and the old Tokugawa turtle only looked at the beginning, and his face was like earth, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably, and his face was pale as a dead man. He never imagined that he would be exposed so quickly, and he would be hit by a storm of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's troops.

"It's over! It's completely over! Immediately contact the Goho fleet, and we will take advantage of the opportunity that Toyotomi Hideyoshi still doesn't know the way, and immediately regret the mud bombardment and fight that monkey to the death! After a while, Tokugawa Ieyasu suddenly said with a hideous face, and the whole person was like crazy.

"Big things are wrong! The ships of the Five Peaks flotilla are gone! (To be continued......)
