Chapter 281 Acceptance of Japanese Returned Japanese Fu (7)
Kuroda Nagamasa actually didn't mention laying down his arms and trudging the war and returning home. Instead, he bowed to the ground as soon as he saw Gao Pragmatism and said directly: "Kuroda Nagamasa, the little chief of the wild wilderness, pays homage to the Tang Dynasty Prime Minister Nanning Hou Gaogong. Nagamasa is here for no other reason.
I just want to worship Ming Gong as my master, lead the horse and saddle for Ming Gong, hold the reins and whip, and hope Ming Gong will take him in."
Rao is very pragmatic and always pays attention to whether a rule is established or not, but he did not expect Kuroda Nagamasa to recognize the master when he came up, so that he temporarily doubted that the so-called Japanese people are loyal to their masters and so on in the history books.
It’s not all the author’s dreams.
Fortunately, Gao Pingshi is now the "Tang Prime Minister" who is used to seeing big storms. Although he was shocked for a moment, he quickly replied: "My father is a minister of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. It is said that he has great merit and unparalleled loyalty.
It’s really unbelievable that you say you worship me as your Lord right now.”
"My father is a minister of the Taige, so what does he have to do with Nagamasa?" Kuroda Nagamasa said matter-of-factly, without changing his expression and his heart not beating: "Besides, my father has been ordered to become a monk by the Taige for a long time, and he does not have an official position when he comes to the court again this time.
The two generals, Ukita and Maori, were sent to come up with the idea. It was up to them whether they would listen or not. This clearly shows that Taige and my father had already severed their ties with each other.
Ming Gong, even my father is no longer a minister of Taige, let alone Changzheng? Minggong is extremely wise in the world, and Changzheng does not dare to act smart and say untrustworthy words. Therefore, my father also gave me countless warnings, and my life is long.
Politicians speak out what they want."
"Oh?" Gao Pingshi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Haha, is that so? Then tell me, what do you... or your father, do you want?"
"Yes, thank you very much, Mr. Meimei." Kuroda Nagamasa said: "My father said that the wisdom of the world can be divided into four categories: the wisdom above people, knowing the general trend of the world and following it; the wisdom among people, not knowing the general trend and following it; the wisdom below people.
Wisdom means not knowing the general trend but going against it."
Gao Pragmatic smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, this summary is somewhat interesting, but since it is the fourth level, why is it still missing the first level?"
"It's not that there is a lack of a first class, it's that this class has been rare since ancient times, and it's rare to see one or two in hundreds of years." Kuroda Nagamasa suddenly imitated Han etiquette and bowed his hands in a pragmatic manner, and said: "But my father said that Duke Meimei will be here soon."
For this reason—people’s ingenious wisdom can create great trends and carry out great trends.”
Gao Pingshi laughed and waved his hand: "Your Majesty, your words are serious. Even though our cabinet has a small reputation, it is just a lucky success due to the emperor's great blessings, the help of colleagues, and the soldiers' hard work. How dare you take such an exaggerated praise? I don't want to mention this, no.
Just mention it.”
Kuroda Nagamasa didn't care about that and continued: "Now the new general trend of the world has been formed in the hands of Meigong. My father said that although he did not have perfect wisdom, he was barely wise. He should have known the trend and followed it, so there was
I hope you will learn from Nagamasa’s trip today.”
Gao Pragmatic was silent for a moment and suddenly asked: "As your Lordship said, the supreme wisdom is to follow the trend, and the middle wisdom is to follow the trend, so what is the difference between the two?"
Kuroda Nagamasa replied: "My father said that although the two are ultimately the same, they are different in succession. However, the affairs of the world are like a stingy master hosting a banquet and many hungry people attending the banquet. In this way, the first eats meat and the latter drinks soup. After a long time,
Those who don't come... will just starve to death."
Gao Pragmatic smiled slightly: "In other words, your Majesty wants to be the first person to attend the banquet?"
Kuroda Nagamasa sighed softly and said with a look of regret: "My father said that the Kuroda family is not strong enough and they have lost their main dish. If they can't even eat the cold dishes, how can they keep the name of the whole family?"
After Gao Pingshi listened to these words, he looked at Kuroda Nagamasa's calm demeanor and felt a bit unreal for a moment. Could it be that the effect of his butterfly wings was so strong that even Kuroda Nagamasa, one of the famous second-generation cheaters, became so eloquent?
What did dad say?
In the original history, as the direct son of Kuroda Yoshizu, Kuroda Nagamasa had a silver spoon in his mouth from birth. However, Kuroda Nagamasa's gene tree seems to be askew. As Toyotomi Hideyoshi's number one military advisor, Kuroda Nagamasa has always been known for his resourcefulness.
, but unexpectedly, the Kuroda Nagamasa he gave birth to was more like a military commander like Fukushima Masanori.
Kuroda Nagamasa actually fought fiercely. Anyone who has studied the history of the late Warring States Period in Japan knows this and needless to say. But correspondingly, he was somewhat incapable of using his head during the political struggle, and his growth was actually...
He got up based on cheating his own father.
In the process of conquering Kyushu, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, in order to become Sekihaku, took a fancy to the family treasures occupied by the Utsunomiya town house. However, the town house refused to comply, and Hideyoshi was unable to come to power.
Later, under the mediation of Kuroda Rusui, Hideyoshi also gave up this idea, and the matter was settled anyway.
However, what was unexpected was that Kuroda Nagamasa, who was standing by at the time, did not think so. He thought that his father was too weak, and he was deeply favored by Bei Masa, so how could he succumb to these people?
So this kid actually took advantage of his father's absence to launch an attack on the Utsunomiya family, who were ready to surrender and even visited his home in person. However, it was later said that this naughty kid who took care of the house was haunted by Utsunomiya's ghost.
So much so that I couldn't sleep at night, and it was Kuroda Rushui who invited a mage to resolve these grievances.
Putting this aside, Kuroda Nagamasa's reckless and treacherous behavior suddenly ruined the reputation of the Kuroda family and made them despised by the samurai. The benevolent image that his father had cultivated for half his life was completely destroyed by him.
Of course, if his father refuses to give up, his cheating will continue. Kuroda Nagamasa’s cheating path continues. But this time, the distance is longer. In the battle of Sekigahara, Kuroda Nagamasa even accidentally defeated his father by three points.
The pattern of the world.
When the lord Toyotomi Hideyoshi passed away and the conflict between Tokugawa Ieyasu and Ishida Mitsunari became irreconcilable and a fight had to begin, the Kuroda family was faced with the choice of which side to take.
Considering that most of the military commanders of the Arbitrator faction had joined the powerful Eastern Army, and that Kuroda Nagamasa had some conflicts with Ishida Mitsunari during the Korean War, Kuroda Nagamasa, the governor of the family at the time, went straight to the fight without saying a word and stood with a clear-cut stand.
The Tokugawa side even served as the vanguard of the Eastern Army.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, compared to his son, Kuroda Rusui thought further. After the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, he concluded that Japan would enter the Warring States Period again, so he needed
Save more capital for the Kuroda family.
His strategy is to use his prestige and the troops at hand to take three steps: the first step is to take Kyushu first; the second step is to go north to attack the Maori family in Sanyo Sanin; the third step is to join forces with Sekigahara
The winners compete for the right to control the world.
It can be said that to realize this idea, what Kuroda Ruishui needs most is time. In other words, he needs the Eastern Army and the Western Army to consume more troops and time in Sekigahara so that he can win Kyushu and China——
Shimadzu and Mori were both powerful vassals, but Kuroda Asui was Japan's top military strategist. He might really think that the Kuroda family could defeat these two powers as long as they operated properly.
However, a series of naughty moves by Kuroda Nagamasa disrupted his father's ambition. First of all, he brought the main force of the Kuroda family to the Sekigahara front line without consulting his father, and the main force was transferred to the front line of Kuroda.
He was furious and furious.
But things have already happened. Kuroda Rusui can only recruit 9,000 more people to prepare for the expedition to Kyushu. At the same time, he hopes that his son will understand his intentions, sit on the wall in the Sekigahara battle, and find a way to allow the eastern and western armies to consume more of both sides.
Obviously, his hopes were dashed again, and the protagonist happened to be his good son Nagamasa.
On the one hand, the Kuroda Army and the Fukushima Army were very desperate from the beginning of the battle, and soon the two armies were anxious on the battlefield. And just when the situation might be heading towards a confrontation between the east and west armies, Kuroda Nagamasa suddenly had a "
"Enlightenment", Kobayakawa Hideaki ran to persuade the Western Army.
Sure enough, the two cheating second-generation men hit it off immediately - the betrayal, Kobayakawa's betrayal, and the operations of the three Mori gods made this battle that looked like it might last a year actually ended in one day.
The most cruel thing is the post-war result. Not only did the Eastern Army suffer no major damage, but even the Maori Army, which withdrew from the battlefield early, did not suffer much damage. This completely failed Kuroda Rusui's plan to dominate one side, and the initiator of this was himself.
His good son Kuroda Nagamasa.
It is precisely because of these things that when Gao Pingshi read the history of the Warring States Period in Japan in his previous life, he always thought that Kuroda Nagamasa must be a second-generation man who did not listen to his father. He was basically labeled as a straight man and a fierce general brother. But today, after looking at Kuroda Nagamasa’s performance,
Why don't you seem to be that different?
However, after thinking about it, Gao Pragmatic thought, it seems to be no problem. After all, since the murder of Utsunomiya Town House became a big issue, there is no record of Kuroda Nagamasa not listening to his father's good advice. As for the Battle of Sekigahara, I'm afraid it will be a big deal.
The probability is that the father and son were not in the same place and had no contact with each other, so Kuroda Nagamasa had no guidance and went alone, causing trouble.
It's different now. Both father and son are together. Although Kuroda Nagamasa himself is reckless, he probably still listens to his father's instructions, which is why today's situation occurs.
After thinking about this, Gao Pragmatic stopped analyzing Kuroda Nagamasa and began to think about Kuroda Asui's approach.
He very much doubted that what Kuroda Nagamasa said just now was actually taught by Kuroda Yoshizu in advance, because this kid first expressed his position when he came up, and after expressing his position, he started to explain the reasons why Kuroda Yoshizu did what he did, and after the explanation, he echoed the beginning - all of this
It has become a simplified idea for writing eight-legged essays. How can a strong-minded brother like Kuroda Nagamasa have such a level of thinking?
What's more, if we look back carefully, Kuroda Nagamasa just said "what my father said", which shows that Kuroda and his son know that he is pragmatic and only cares about what Kuroda Rushui thinks.
So, is what Kuroda Rushui said true or false? The five fingers of Gao Pragmatic's right hand gently and rhythmically tapped the huanghuali wood armrest.
The strength of the Kuroda family is not very strong. The current territory is only Bunzen 140,000 koku. How do you describe this level? It ranks second to last among the nine countries of Kyushu in Japan, only higher than the 120,000 koku of Hyuga country.
stone.
By comparison, the Shimazu family's territory is generally considered to be low in stone height, but Satsuma has more than 280,000 stone, Okuma has more than 170,000 stone, and their family still has about half of Hinata's.
If it is difficult to compare the Shimazu family's territory, which is ancestral property, then it is better to compare it to Kato Kiyomasa and Konishi Yukinaga, who were also entrusted to Kyushu after the Kyushu Conquest.
After Toyotomi Hideyoshi quelled the riot by the imperial minister, he ordered Sasaki Narimasa to commit suicide. Then he redivided the territory of Higo Kingdom. Except for Kuma County, which was given to Sagara Nagame, the rest of the land was given to Kato Kiyomasa and Kato Kiyomasa.
Konishi Yukinaga divided it up. The specifics are: Kato will take 250,000 koku in the north, and Konishi will take 240,000 koku in the south.
After thinking about it carefully, Gao Jingshi suddenly discovered that there was a reason why the Kuroda family suddenly chose to betray Toyotomi Hideyoshi and join him at this time.
Kuroda Asui was Toyotomi Hideyoshi's first military advisor. The "Great Return to China" that was crucial to Toyotomi Hideyoshi's success in the world was his proud work. If such a huge contribution is placed in China, it should be regarded as the final success.
Well done, no matter what, you shouldn't be suppressed by a few generals.
But what about the reality? Kato Kiyomasa, who is also sealed in Kyushu, has 250,000 koku, and Konishi Yukinaga has 240,000 koku - why!
To give an inappropriate example, this is like after the victory over the Yuan Dynasty, Qi Jiguang was granted the title of marquis and Gao Pragmatic was granted the title of uncle. If the emperor really made such an edict, it would be better to first ask Qi Jiguang if he dared to accept it.
However, Toyotomi Hideyoshi did this, so you can imagine what Kuroda Ruishui felt in his heart.
A person who has done great work but has not been rewarded will inevitably feel aggrieved. If he did not perform in the past, it may not necessarily mean that he has no grudges in his heart. It may be that he is just a smart person who knows that it is useless to perform and may harm himself and future generations, so he has to make a decision.
Come with a cheerful attitude.
But things are different now. As Kuroda Nagamasa quoted him just now, a new world trend has taken shape. As the "wisdom above all people", Kuroda Asui must of course plan for the future of the Kuroda family.
In the original history, Kuroda Rushui's plan was to conquer three parts of the world first, and then naturally fight for the world. However, after Kuroda Nagamasa ruined his plan, Kuroda Rushui knew that the situation was irreversible, and did not choose to go against the will of heaven.
, instead accepted the title and eventually lived in seclusion until his death.
That is to say, Kuroda Rushui is indeed ambitious, but as long as the situation is irreversible, he will not be stubborn to the end. When he has the opportunity, he dares to be bold, but when he does not have the opportunity, he can stop in time. From this point of view,
Kuroda Rushui can indeed be called a wise man.
"I am fully aware of your father's wishes. The name of the Kuroda family will be preserved. As long as the Kuroda family can obey orders in the future, it will naturally not be limited to a mere 140,000 koku. As for the Shimazu family, they will be the members of the Kuroda family.
Allies and comrades...that's all, you can convey my words to my father."
Gao Pragmatic finally agreed.
