Chapter 740 Xiaoxi’s Dream(1/2)
President Konishi's words can be regarded as resolute implementation of Lin Tianshuai's instructions, which is to show others sincerity.
Whatever Lin Tianshuai usually said, he relayed it to the Japanese exactly as he said it.
When chatting about people, Lin Tianshuai predicted that Tokugawa Ieyasu would be the shogun in the future, so he said it frankly.
It was President Konishi's frankness that confused everyone present.
Tokugawa Ieyasu usually had good relationships with various princes, and he would try his best to build good relationships unless absolutely necessary.
But at this moment, Tokugawa Ieyasu was also made to want to kill someone by Mr. Konishi. Either to silence him, or he was just so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
"What a bunch of nonsense!" Tokugawa Ieyasu, who originally wanted to be kind to others, was successfully angered and scolded: "How dare you come under Minglu's order to sow discord and fabricate such ridiculous remarks!"
President Konishi argued: "How can you say this is fabricated? This is a reasonable speculation, and it starts with the Toyotomi family today."
Tokugawa Ieyasu quickly shouted: "Shut up!"
How can I ask Governor Konishi to elaborate on this issue? No matter what, he will make himself a human being inside and out!
Everyone here, except the Tokugawa retainers, actually wanted to hear what Governor Konishi had to say. After all, it is the nature of many men to like political gossip.
However, the vast majority of people only dare to listen silently, but dare not take the initiative to speak out, lest they cause disaster.
Who dares to take the initiative to speak out about the predictive gossip involving Toyotomi Hideyoshi and the future fate of the people of the world?
Only the chief of the Toyotomi family, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's brother-in-law and absolute confidant, Asano Nagamasa, who came to supervise the army, had less scruples. After thinking about it for a while, he looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Then he forcibly suppressed his disgust for President Konishi and urged: "Keep talking!"
No matter how President Konishi analyzes the future situation, it is of certain value as an information reference.
President Konishi solemnly said first: "What I said was analyzed by Tomorrow's Commander-in-Chief Lin Jiuyuan Tailai. I am just repeating it to you."
Then he continued: "Because Taige had no children, he had previously appointed his nephew Xiuci as the governor of the family and named Xiuci Guanbai.
But I heard that Mrs. Yodo, the concubine at Taige, is pregnant and will definitely give birth within this year."
Many people were surprised when they heard this. They did not know this information.
President Konishi continued: "If Mrs. Yodo gives birth to a daughter, it will be fine, and it will not affect the future; but if it is a boy, there will be more variables in the future.
Tianshuai said that if Taige had a biological son, he would definitely want to support his biological son to ascend to the throne and abolish the show that he had established previously.
It is conceivable that in order to avoid future troubles, Xiu Ci will definitely be put in danger.
But Taige is already old, and it is said that his health is not very good, and this biological son has just been born. It is conceivable that Taige may not be able to wait until his biological son reaches adulthood.
At that time, it will be a situation where the young ruler is in doubt! The young ruler will definitely not be able to suppress the strong people at home and abroad, and big problems will arise.
Therefore, Lin Tianshuai also deduced that without the Toyotomi family in charge of Taikaku, there would be a rupture between the Owari Dogmatic Faction and the Omi Bunji Faction internally, and the oppression of the powerful Tokugawa family externally."
Honda Tadakatsu asked unconvinced: "Why only talk about the Tokugawa family? Is the Kaga Maeda family not strong enough?"
President Konishi explained: "I heard that Maeda Toshiie has been sick recently, and it's hard to say how long he will live.
If Maeda Toshiie is no longer alive, then no one will be able to control the Tokugawa family, which is worth two million yuan."
When everyone heard this, they secretly glanced at Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Although the Great Nayan is already half a hundred years old, his body still looks very strong. Considering the current nutritional status and average life expectancy of the country, this is very rare.
Governor Konishi felt a little tired from talking, and finally concluded, "In short, Lin Tianshuai's opinion is that the Owari Dogmatic Faction will probably join forces with the Kanto Tokugawa family to fight the Bunji Faction decisively.
The Wenzhi faction can only be forced to win over the Western forces, but these Western forces may not be able to work hard.
The final outcome is probably that the Kanto Tokugawa family and the Owari dogmatist faction formed the Eastern Army and won a complete victory!
And the head of the Tokugawa family, who is healthy and popular in all aspects, will replace the young Toyotomi family and become a member of the world!"
Everyone listened to President Konishi's vision for the future, and everyone remained silent, not daring to express any opinions at all.
Every prediction made by President Konishi seems to be vivid in my mind. After thinking about it, I feel that it is indeed possible. It is really scary to think about it.
Tokugawa Ieyasu's face was extremely ugly. He finally couldn't bear it anymore. He raised his finger and pointed at President Konishi and said to Asano Nagamasa: "He is slandering me, he is slandering me!"
One theory is that Tokugawa Dainagon really did not have a clear idea of wanting to rule the world at this time.
Taikaku is not dead yet, and the Toyotomi family has an adult heir. What can Tokugawa Ieyasu do to conquer the world?
Just like when Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui was alive, the Sima family certainly did not have any thoughts of usurping the country. Only when they encountered orphans and widowed mothers could they not help but give it a try.
Tokugawa retainer Honda Tadakatsu drew his sword and begged Asano Nagamasa: "President Konishi deliberately confuses the morale of our army with his evil words, please kill him!"
Asano Nagamasa, who had calmed down, said angrily: "Back off!"
Just now I wanted to kill Yukinagako Konishi, but I was stopped by Tokugawa Junchen who was watching the fun.
Now that Mr. Konishi's nonsense has been arranged on you, you finally know the pain?
As an absolutely loyal minister of the Toyotomi family, Asano Nagamasa felt that Konishi Yukinaga was talking nonsense and instinctively did not want to believe it.
How could the Toyotomi family, which was at the height of its power and flourished with civil and military talents, fall just like that?
However, President Konishi's predictions are still meaningful as "warnings" and can provide reference for the Toyotomi family's future decisions.
It was difficult for Tokugawa Ieyasu to speak to avoid being complained about and "silenced", but Honda Tadakatsu still wanted to say something.
Asano Nagamasa then said: "President Konishi is here as an envoy of the Ming army. Don't you even understand the rules of not killing envoys when the two armies are fighting?"
After regaining his sanity, Asano Nagamasa finally discovered that President Konishi was actually rough in truth and rationality.
Asano Yukinaga, the legitimate heir of Shimayama Castle who is trapped, may really need Konishi Yukinaga to save his life. At least Konishi Yukinaga is a way to save people.
General Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was splashed with dirty water out of thin air, shut himself up and stopped talking. Asano Nagamasa had no choice but to ask Governor Konishi again: "The Ming army asked you to come, what else do you want to say?"
President Konishi replied: "Commander Tian ordered me to come here. In addition to sending greetings to you, I also made an appointment to fight. I invited you to form an array at the designated time and place to fight."
The commander-in-chief of our army is Tokugawa Ieyasu, and Asano Nagamasa is not able to answer on his behalf.
Then I heard Tokugawa Ieyasu say: "Our army has come a long way, and the soldiers will be tired, so they will rest in the camp for the time being."
This means not accepting the invitation to fight and politely declining it.
Governor Konishi frowned and said: "When Sima Yi of the Three Kingdoms faced Zhuge's repeated challenges, he resolutely refused to fight. Does Danaya want to imitate Sima?"
Another pun! It is obviously an allusion to Tokugawa Ieyasu from the Sima family of the Three Kingdoms.
All the non-Tokugawa warriors here are sweating for Mr. Konishi. Mr. Konishi, are you really not afraid that the Tokugawa family will kill you on the spot at all costs?
Tokugawa Ieyasu responded unmoved when faced with Governor Konishi's provocation: "As a general, you can't joke about victory or defeat, and you can't rush into battle at an inappropriate time."
President Konishi added: "Masannori Fukushima, Housekeeper Hachisuka, Yukinaga Asano and other close ministers of the Taikaku are still waiting for rescue at Shimayama Castle, but Otonagon doesn't care at all?"
Tokugawa Ieyasu still replied: "To save people, you must also assess the situation and do not act blindly."
Having said that, he still could not persuade Tokugawa Ieyasu to fight, so Governor Konishi could only sigh secretly.
It seems that the task of inducing Tokugawa to fight may not be completed. No wonder Tianshuai directly refers to Tokugawa Ieyasu as "Old Turtle".
Today's trip was just to confirm who the generals were and to sow seeds of suspicion.
I wonder if Tianshuai will be satisfied with the completion of this task?
President Konishi stood up and said goodbye: "Since Danayan is as immovable as a mountain, I will reply to Tianshuai like this."
At this time, the leader of the Japanese army, Yoshihiro Shimazu, the leader of the Satsuma Domain, who had been silent for a long time, spoke to persuade him:
"Konishi Settsu Mamoru! Since you have returned to your home camp, you can stay here. Why do you need to be a prisoner in the Ming camp again?"
President Konishi then replied: "Shuai Lin Tianshuai of the Ming Dynasty trusts me and uses me. How can I be unjust?"
The non-Tokugawa samurai here couldn't help but secretly laugh inwardly. This Konishi Yukinaga is not stupid either.
It has been slandered that Tokugawa Ieyasu will rebel and usurp the world in the future. If he still dares to stay in a camp dominated by the Tokugawa army, aren't he afraid of being killed by the Tokugawa family?
Governor Konishi waved his sleeves and left without taking away any clouds, but he left an extremely strange atmosphere in the Japanese camp on the south bank.
During the military discussion with others, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was sitting in the chair, felt extremely uncomfortable.
When feudal lords such as Asano Nagamasa, Shimazu Yoshihiro, and Tachibana Muneshige looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu, they also felt a little uncomfortable and awkward.
As long as they see Tokugawa Ieyasu, everyone can't help but think, if Taiko and Maeda Toshiie, who are old and in poor health, pass away, will the identity of the world really fall into the hands of Tokugawa Ieyasu?
Governor Konishi returned to the Daimei soldiers camp and reported to Lin Tianshuai: "When I went to the camp on the other side, I saw that the commander was indeed Tokugawa Dainagon himself, and the supervisor was Asano Nagamasa.
The main force was the Tokugawa Army, and there were many fierce generals from the Tokugawa family; those who participated in the combined forces included Yoshihiro Shimazu of the Satsuma Domain and Munege Tachibana of the Yanagawa Domain."
Lin Tianshuai asked: "It seems that the old turtle refused to play?"
