Yukinagako Konishi, the 240,000-koku daimyo, responded forcefully: "It's easy to commit suicide, but it's even harder to endure the humiliation and bear the heavy burden and survive!"
Asano Nagamasa said angrily: "What you call enduring humiliation and bearing the burden is to serve Minglu?"
Governor Konishi said: "When Tianshuai entered the court, he killed more than 37,000 Chinese soldiers in Ping'an Road and Hamgyeong Road, and basically refused to surrender. He was known as the Blood Demon King!
When we arrived in Seoul, it was only after my urging that the commander-in-chief agreed to surrender, thus saving the lives of more than 10,000 Chinese soldiers.
The day before yesterday in Ulsan, we saved the lives of more than 4,000 people! This is my role!
If I, President Konishi, had not endured the humiliation and shouldered the burden of serving the Ming army, our country would have had another 14,000 to 5,000 innocent souls!"
Everyone present: ""
It sounds so reasonable, but I don’t know where to refute it.
President Konishi continued impassionedly: "In addition, I endured humiliation and hardship at the hands of the Ming army just to promote peace talks!
The current situation is that our country is determined not to defeat the Ming Dynasty! The Ming Dynasty only needs to use a few border towns in the north to defeat half of our country's troops!
Only by lurking in the Ming camp can I promote peace talks and try my best to reduce our country's losses. This is my belief in surviving in this world!"
Asano Nagamasa snorted coldly: "No matter how wildly you talk, you are still trying to survive the people who are suspected of surrendering to the enemy!"
Governor Konishi jumped up, as if he was furious, glanced back and forth at the generals on both sides, and shouted: "Is there anyone who has withdrawn from Seoul? Come out and talk!"
However, the lord of the Yanagawa clan, the adopted son of Kobayakawa Takakage, boasted that his family's three thousand men could serve as ten thousand Ming army general Tachibana Muneshige, stood up and said in response: "What do you have to say?"
Governor Konishi yelled and asked: "On that day, you asked me and Otani Yoshitsugi to go out of the west gate of Seoul to negotiate with Tianshuai, but your army quickly withdrew from the southeast, right?"
Tachibana Muneshige said a little embarrassedly: "It's true."
Governor Konishi said to Asano Nagamasa in grief and indignation: "Am I surrendering to the enemy? I was abandoned by friendly forces! What if I fall into the enemy camp alone?"
Asano Nagamasa gave up reasoning and directly shouted: "You are also a samurai now. Why don't you commit suicide when you are in the enemy's hands? You are indeed a greedy person who was born as a small businessman and is afraid of death!"
Everyone here can understand why Asano Nagamasa is in such a bad mood.
After all, the heir to the Asano family and his only 18-year-old son, Asano Yukinaga, is still trapped in Shimayama Castle, and he might die at any time.
Konishi Yukinaga was not used to Asano Nagamasa's problems and counterattacked: "Your son Asano Yukinaga is now besieged in Shimayama Castle!
When the city is destroyed, you see whether I can save his life or not! At that time, only I can talk to Tianshuai!"
Damn it! Asano Nagamasa directly broke through the defense and had to draw his sword to kill Konishi Yukinaga.
Honda Tadakatsu, one of the four great kings of the Tokugawa family, a giant with a height of over 1.6 meters, and known as the most powerful general in Japan, received the signal from his lord, and quickly stepped forward to hug Asano Nagamasa, and advised him: "Calm down your anger, calm down your anger.
!”
Tokugawa Ieyasu tried to smooth things over by saying: "It's useless to be angry if we all sit down and talk. It's better to talk calmly!"
Everyone looked at Yukino Konishi in unison, feeling very strange.
Is this indescribable bastard still the Yukinaga Konishi that everyone is familiar with?
It turns out that Konishi Settsumomo was very kind in dealing with people and making money. After all, he was a businessman.
Why did he become like this after staying with the Ming Army for more than half a year?
Tokugawa Ieyasu also wanted to get some information about the Ming army from Governor Konishi, otherwise why would he bother to meet Governor Konishi?
"What kind of person is Lin Tailai, the minister of economic and strategic affairs of the Ming Dynasty? In addition to martial arts, what other characteristics do he have?" Tokugawa Ieyasu took the initiative to stir up the topic and asked.
After thinking about it for a while, Governor Konishi replied: "Tian Shuai's greatest characteristic is that he is able to count, is good at recognizing people, and seems to know everyone well!
When you were still in the country, Dai Onagon, Tianshuai once said that if Dai Onagon had not come to Korea, he would one day replace the Toyotomi clan who had no successors in the world, become the shogun, and be canonized as the king of Japan by the Central Plains!
"
Tokugawa Ieyasu: ""
