Chapter 281 Return of the Japanese Empire (Twenty-Nine) Three-part Coercion
Before everyone put down their soup bowls, Sancheng carefully sorted out the entire plan in his mind.
He believed that doing so would kill two birds with one stone: on the one hand, he could show his generosity to the daimyo - Ieyasu was not that great; on the other hand, he would gain Ieyasu's appreciation, and soon he would be able to change his attitude step by step through pretense.
To gain his trust, even conviction.
Before Hideyori grows up, he can first use various means to confront Ieyasu, and then wait for an opportunity to regain the power that Hideyoshi entrusted to Ieyasu. As for the time it takes, there is nothing to worry about. After all, judging from Ieyasu's age, it should
It won't be more than ten years.
Once the power is returned to Hideyori in the future... As Mitsunari was thinking of this, Masuda Nagamori had already put down his son, and said with suspicion: "Your Highness Jibu, according to your opinion, the Toyotomi clan may not grow long."
"Not long?" Sancheng didn't understand what Changsheng meant.
"I'm afraid we're running out of time." Masuda Nagamori repeated what he just said, and looked at Asano and Maeda again, as if he wanted to gain their support, and then continued: "I'm not talking nonsense.
Talking nonsense, under the current situation, if the world and the Toyotomi clan must be merged into one, I am afraid it will lead to the situation of Genpei's hegemony. For the world, for each family, and for individuals, the risk is extremely high.
so big."
"It makes sense." Maeda Genki seemed to understand what Nagamori meant, and expressed his position: "Yes, yes, back then... when the world was lost, the Taira clan also fell - is that what you meant?
?”
"Exactly." Masuda Nagamori nodded heavily and looked at Mitsunari: "If the world and the Toyotomi clan are divided into two, even if the power changes, the survival of the Toyotomi clan will not be affected; if they are combined,
If the Toyotomi clan loses power, it will be defeated.
Your Highness, this point is very important. No matter how you plan, you must consider this point carefully. This is my humble opinion, what do you think?"
Mitsunari was startled at first, then angrily raised his white fan, his face became gloomy, and he said sullenly: "Your Majesty Masuda, in your capacity, you actually said such words, don't you feel blushing?"
"The words of the governing department are wrong. The young master is still young and ignorant. As a leader, you and I should consider it thoroughly and be fully prepared. Your and my plans and decisions may not necessarily be perfect, but they are a little bit perfect.
The important thing is: there will be no major mistakes under any circumstances.”
"If you think this way, you are playing into the enemy's hands!"
"Are you going too far, Mr. Zhibu Shaofu?"
"What a fool!" Mitsunari sneered, "Eemon, if, as you say, the world and the Toyotomi clan have nothing to do with each other, then the next world has actually been decided...don't you understand this?"
"You mean, the world will be surrendered to Tokugawa Ieyasu?"
"Do I even need to say that? Komaki Kusuke failed to surrender in one battle, and finally subdued him with Taiko's skill. This made him claim to be the best in the world.
In addition, this time Taige has entrusted all government affairs to him during his lifetime... He can use Taige's words to resist doubts. Once he succeeds, do you know what the consequences will be?"
Masuda Nagamori couldn't help but be speechless. He paused and his tone inevitably lost its strength: "Then how can you stop Tokugawa?"
"Think about it, the young master is still young, so the government affairs are left to the left minister Ieyasu, but this is just a temporary measure. Once the young master becomes an adult, he should respectfully return his authority, isn't it?"
Mitsunari was furious, and his tone seemed to be scolding his subordinates: "If you separated Tenka and the Toyotomi clan from the beginning, then Ieyasu would have the illusion that he controlled Tenka by relying on his strength, instead of the fact - I am
It is said that Taige temporarily handed over the power to him for the custody of the young master! In this way, he thinks that strength is everything, how can he not take the opportunity to destroy the Toyotomi clan?"
"But..." As soon as Chang Sheng opened his mouth, Sancheng stopped him sternly: "You seem to have a long-term vision, but in fact you are just a fantasy! The current situation is actually extremely critical, and we will never be allowed to act according to the circumstances. No matter what, we will
To find a way for the Toyotomi clan to survive without any worries, the world and the Toyotomi clan must be regarded as one!
Our purpose is very simple, that is, when the young master becomes an adult, Tokugawa Ieyasu must respectfully return his power. If we don't make this determination at this moment, how will we control the world for the young master in the future? We must not fall into the enemy's scheme.
ah!"
Masuda Nagamori was interrupted repeatedly by him and simply shut up angrily. In his opinion, he and Mitsunari could not get together no matter what.
According to Nagamori's opinion, Ieyasu's strength is indeed very strong and his ability is very terrifying, but once he accepts him and becomes a colleague, colleague or even friend with him, he will become incredibly docile.
Mitsunari mentioned the Battle of Komaki Nagakute, but compared with Ieyasu at that time, Ieyasu after entering Osaka Castle was completely different...
The stubborn Ieyasu once left Taige helpless, but after getting rid of his prejudice against Ieyasu, Nagamori felt that he was as docile and honest as a sheep.
This made Nagamori think of the "Seishu Alliance" between Lord Nobunaga and Ieyasu, which was a model of friendship in the world and the best footnote to Ieyasu's personal integrity. Whenever Nagamori thought of the Seiju Alliance, it was hard to think that Ieyasu was a villain.
.
In Japan's Warring States Period, when strength was supreme, so-called friendship, blood ties, and alliances became the means of expansion for the Warring States Daimyos. At that time, many various alliances appeared in Japan, such as the very famous "Koshiki" formed by Takeda, Hojo, and Imagawa.
"Shun Three Kingdoms Alliance", as well as "Nobuo Alliance" between Oda Nobuhide and Saito Dozo, etc.
However, during the Warring States Period, in fact, most of these alliance agreements were like waste paper. Allies who exchanged gifts to congratulate you in the morning might break into your home with a knife at night and declare that they had occupied your city.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, among the alliances between Japanese Sengoku daimyo, there is a very special exception, that is, the alliance between Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu
The "Qingshu Alliance", also known as the "Osan Alliance (Owari, Mikawa Alliance)", "Zi De Alliance".
After Oda Nobunaga concluded an alliance with Tokugawa Ieyasu, he never broke the alliance with Tokugawa Ieyasu throughout his life. In the process of Oda Nobunaga unifying the world, Tokugawa Ieyasu continued to silently guard the Oda family territory.
the east side of.
During this period, the most noteworthy incident is probably the "Nobuyasu Incident". According to the old theory, Oda Nobunaga was jealous of the talent of Ieyasu's eldest son, Tokugawa Nobuyasu, and asked Tokugawa Nobuyasu for his internal connection with the Takeda family.
Kawa Ieyasu executed his legitimate son.
However, according to later Japanese excavations of historical materials at the time, Tokugawa Ieyasu and Tokugawa Nobuyasu, the father and son, actually had a long-standing grudge. Oda Nobunaga not only did not intervene in this matter, but was actually a "notified" guy -
-Because Tokugawa Nobuyasu is Oda Nobunaga's son-in-law, if Ieyasu disposes of Tokugawa Nobuyasu at will, it means breaking the Seishu Alliance.
For example, Takeda Yoshinobu, the legitimate son of Takeda Shingen who was imprisoned, was the son-in-law of Imagawa Yoshimoto. After Takeda Yoshinobu lost power, the Takeda family broke their alliance with the Imagawa family.
It is precisely because of this that Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was worried about arousing Nobunaga's suspicion, sent his retainer Sakai Chuji to Azuchi Castle to explain to Oda Nobunaga why Tokugawa Nobiyasu was imprisoned. Oda Nobunaga was also more generous and immediately said that this was the Tokugawa family.
His private affairs can be handled by Tokugawa Ieyasu himself.
In other words, Nobuyasu's death was actually entirely the work of Tokugawa Ieyasu himself, and after the establishment of the Edo shogunate, Tokugawa Ieyasu changed his Miao character from "Tokugawa" back to his family name in order to belittle the status of his legitimate son.
Lower "pine flat".
I digressed, but back to the subject. How much did Ieyasu attach great importance to Nobunaga's promise? Is it worthy of a promise worth a thousand pieces of gold? The ancients said, "One's deeds do not reflect one's heart." That is to say, don't look at what a person says, but look at what he does.
What did Ieyasu do? Even though Hideyoshi defeated Mitsuhide Akechi in his "Great Return to China" and quickly defeated Katsuie Shibata, the biggest challenger within the Oda faction, Ieyasu did not admit that he could inherit Nobunaga's legacy and insisted on assisting the left.
Nobunaga's son, Oda Nobuo, confronted Hideyoshi - and it was for this reason that the Battle of Komaki Nagakute broke out.
All these are integrity and loyalty in the eyes of the world, and he has become a model of loyalty praised by later generations of Japanese.
As for "Ieyasu who came to Osaka" in Nagamori's mind, this is indeed what Masuda Nagamori still remembers.
Ieyasu first came to Osaka Castle twelve years after the fourteenth year of Tensho (1586). This period was truly eventful. Needless to say, the Korean War is still going on today. Rikyu layman committed seppuku, Sekihaku Hidetsu committed suicide, and the Ming Dynasty
Negotiate peace, punish Mitsunari and Governor Konishi after the negotiation breaks down...
No matter what happens, Ieyasu handles it well. Every time, Ieyasu will try to save as many lives as possible. There are already many people who have been saved by him. To put it bluntly, if Ieyasu hadn't saved his life, many people would have been killed.
Taige ordered him to commit seppuku.
Even when the peace talks broke down, Lian Sancheng also received favors from Ieyasu. It was precisely because Ieyasu was such a truly virtuous and respectable person in Nagamori's mind that Nagamori believed that he should abandon hostility and express goodwill to him.
Of course, Tokugawa Ieyasu was once a brave tiger general who frightened his enemies, but now he is not only the regent appointed by the late Taikaku, but also his granddaughter Chihime is engaged to his young master Hideyori. If you abandon the hostility and get close to him, there is no need to
Talking about the young master, when it comes to the descendants of the young master and Chiki, Ieyasu’s bloodline also directly became the master of Toyotomi! Why should he commit more murders?

Instead of being extremely hostile to Ieyasu, it is better to gradually get closer and let the two families become one. This is what Changsheng means. It is a pity that although Changsheng has always considered this, how can 30% accept it?
At this time, Mitsunari said again: "His Majesty Masuda seems to have great trust in Ieyasu." He squinted his eyes, as if he could see through Nagamori's heart, and sneered: "It seems that you really regard Ieyasu as a loyal and upright elder. It's a pity that this is just his disguise, he is not as simple as you think."
Masuda Nagamori remained indifferent and remained silent.
"I didn't mean to scare you. In fact, Ieyasu had calmly planned it from the beginning. He knew very well that His Highness Taikaku was old, weak, and had insufficient blood.
It was in order to seize the world that he pretended to be so docile. Now, we need to give this old fox a chance to show his true nature - I don't believe that his true identity cannot be revealed."
Sancheng's threats were mixed with ridicule: "Our opponent is an old fox who has gone through many hardships and has great magical powers. We must not be charmed by him. The talisman to prevent being charmed by him is to regard the world and the Toyotomi clan as one." .
Once we throw away this talisman, the world will immediately fall apart, and he will also have evil intentions. For the survival of the Toyotomi clan, we must resolutely oppose Ieyasu to rule the world on behalf of the Toyotomi clan."
At this point, Chang Sheng was speechless. If he continued to refute, he might be framed by Mitsunari as having an affair with Ieyasu - Chang Sheng knew very well that Mitsunari was well versed in this.
At this time, Asano Nagamasa turned to Mitsunari and said: "I think what Dr. Youemon said is somewhat reasonable. Our hostility to the Zuofu is tantamount to being picky. After all, Taikaku decided everything during his lifetime. As ministers, we must All we have to do is follow Taige’s last words and try our best to avoid chaos.”
After Nagamasa finished speaking, Sancheng sneered: "Yes, Taige did have his last words. The young master is still young and has to temporarily hand over power to Ieyasu before he becomes an adult... But if we don't understand it this way, The matter has not yet been decided.”
"Is His Highness Jibu suspecting something?" Asano Nagamasa couldn't help but frown, his eyes were a little unfriendly.
"What if I think Taige's last words are just the gibberish of an old man who is fainting from illness? Moreover, in fact, someone with this skeptical attitude has already appeared. This person is not someone else, nor me, but It’s Mrs. Hokizashi! Your Highness Asano has absolutely nothing to do with Hokkaido, so you have to be careful about this matter."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When Mitsunari said this, Nagamasa had no choice but to shut up. Such strong words made Nagamasa feel that Mitsunari was doubting that he was the one who caused Hokusei Institute to do this. kind of idea.
In order to break the stalemate that was about to explode, Maeda Genki interjected: "I see it's getting late, and Master Kishiki is still waiting. Let's move on to the next step quickly."
Hearing Xuan Yi's advice, Sanchengcai shouted and raised his kuaizi. The carp soup was already cold by now, and the four of them started eating the carp with their own thoughts.
Not long after, Sancheng smiled bitterly and said: "The key lies in whether the few of us are united. As long as we are united, why should Ieyasu and others have anything to fear?"
It was only 30% who kept flapping the crowd, causing them to fear; and it was still 30% who comforted everyone! Tokugawa Ieyasu in Shimonobu (Nagasuke Masaike was not in Fushimi, but in Osaka) had such a great threat in his heart Wow, what an irony!
"Okay, now our goal is clear. Therefore, after the secret burial of Taige today, we will call all the elders tomorrow to discuss the withdrawal of troops - everyone, the withdrawal of troops is the top priority now. "
"The secret burial of Taige without telling the elders is also Taige's last request. Everyone must pay attention to this matter and never let it slip." At this point, Sancheng felt that everyone was tied together by him. And he The confidence he had always felt made him feel that since he warned repeatedly, everyone would definitely be wary of Ieyasu.
"Okay, we've finished drinking the carp soup. The next thing we have to do is to tell the world clearly and openly about our loyalty to Taige."
After Sancheng drank the carp soup in a big gulp, he raised his right arm to show everyone as if joking, and said: "Look, Sancheng's thin arm is already filled with the power to never shrink back and protect the Toyotomi clan forever!"
The other three silently put the soup bowl aside without comment. They didn't seem to think that such an arm could have the so-called "power to never shrink back and protect the Toyotomi clan forever."
