Chapter 281 The Japanese return to Japan (87) There are Ming troops in Sakai Port
"What Youfu liked to talk about most back then was 'Fifty years of life are like a dream and an illusion'. Your Highness, please remember..." The lady still leaned towards her husband calmly, and she sighed softly: "As a result, Taige
It only takes ten more years to be free from illness and disaster. How can we be stronger than Tai Ge?
In the end, Taige worked hard for the ignorant young master. Your Highness took over the responsibility of guardian for Taige's entrustment. But Your Highness, considering your age, if you really have to do this well, I'm afraid the real key is to consider how to do it well.
Arrange for our own children...what do you think?"
"You seem to be saying that I won't live much longer." Li Jia laughed and shook his head: "You are the only one who dares to say such things... Well, you mean that I only care about the young master, even the young master.
Have you forgotten your own children?"
"Yes, but it's not just that." The lady nodded happily and said: "Your Highness, the current situation is like an egg on the tip of a knife. If you make a slight mistake, either the egg will fall to the ground and break, or the egg will be broken.
Punctured, in short, dangerous.
So, if there is a slight mistake in your arrangement, something unexpected happens to Toshinaga, Tosumasa and others, and you are already old and will go to Paradise soon. What will the young master do then? Who will take care of him? "
The lady showed a smile that was either comforting or worried, and said: "As a mother, I can't help but say, if the Maeda clan had been defeated before the Toyotomi clan's accident, then what's the point of your current responsibilities? Everything will be ruined."
It turned into nothing. Therefore, I ask Your Highness not to force it, so as not to let the innocent children suffer..."
"Omatsu, do you think there is something wrong with my approach, and are you worried that the Maeda clan is in danger of collapse?"
"I really dare not say it."
"Just say, after so many years, your views are often very reasonable." The Li family became serious and stared at Mrs. Asong: "You just said that the current situation is like an egg on the tip of a knife. What does this mean?
What? Are you saying that my arrangement is too forced and the children may be in trouble in the future? "
"No, that is a warning to His Highness. But Your Highness, what is the thing that you should consider most right now?"
"what you think?"
After all, they have been husband and wife for many years. After a long period of time, they know each other well. When the Li family asked seriously, the lady's brows widened and she sighed softly: "Your Highness, the most important thing is peace in the world. No matter what,
"Unifying the world and creating a peaceful and prosperous age is the lifelong ambition of Youfu and Taige, and it is also the great cause they have worked hard for." Although the lady's voice sounded calm, her eyes were very sharp.
"It makes sense." Toshiya considered his wife's words carefully, nodded and said, "If the world can maintain peace, the Maeda clan will be safe, and the young master will naturally be fine."
"Exactly. It sounds very clear, but isn't this what Your Highness is unclear about? Your Highness accuses others of having ulterior motives at will, and often decides things in anger, but once you light a fire, it will not only be your enemies who will be burned.
ah……
Once Maeda is damaged, the Toyotomi clan will never be safe, so please be patient. If there is any discord between the ruling department and Zuofu, it will not be too late for you to come forward to coordinate. In short, Maeda only needs to stabilize himself.
That's enough. Don't force yourself to do anything.
The current situation is delicate. No matter what happens to any child of the Maeda family, it will seriously weaken the strength of my family and lead to chaos in the world, which is against the wishes of the Youfu and Taige." The wife finally poured out her heart to her husband.
Lijia closed his eyes and listened, carefully recalling every word and sentence of his wife.
"Oh, I was so busy talking that I even forgot to bring the tea..." With that, the lady got up and left.
"Wait a minute." The Toshi family stopped his wife and suddenly said firmly: "Omatsu, let's take what you just said as the family motto of the Maeda clan."
"Ah, what did Your Highness say?"
"At any time, the Maeda family must strive for peace in the world. To this end, we must preserve our strength and never act rashly."
"This is the best thing. If this concept can be deeply rooted in the hearts of future generations, the Maeda sect will continue to prosper."
"Well said, I think this is the experience of the best warrior in the world. Okay, go get some tea."
"Let's go now." Madam stood up and went out excitedly. Just at this moment, Li Chang walked in: "Father, how are you?"
Lijia replied casually: "Well... I can't say it's good, but it's not too bad either."
"Just now Asano Yukicho came back, and I saw him in the city."
"Oh, are you okay, Dr. Sakyo?"
Toshinaga frowned slightly and said, "I heard there was a dispute over in Hakata."
"with who?"
"Chief Administrative Bureau and Chief Accountant Kato. Moreover, the dispute continued to escalate afterwards. Now President Konishi has gone to Gobo and sued Kato and Asano."
Li Jia frowned and said in a dissatisfied tone: "As soon as we came back, there was a dispute?"
"It doesn't seem to be easy to calm down this time. Both sides are tit-for-tat and refuse to give in to each other."
"What was the reason for the dispute?"
"It is said that His Highness Konishi was holding him back during the withdrawal of troops. Kato insisted on fighting for victory and even brought up Konishi's previous scandals. Konishi said that it was not Kato who saved him, but Shimazu Yoshihiro... In short, the two sides became more and more troubled.
Big, it looks like we are really in trouble this time."
"Li Chang, listen - you must never get involved in such a dispute."
"The child is not a child, and his mother has already taught him."
Just as Toshiya was about to speak, Toshimasa, Toshicho's younger brother, happened to run in panting. Toshimasa was only twenty-one this year, and he looked very brave, just like the young Maeda Inu Chiyo. He gave a gentle salute to his brother, and suddenly smiled.
He opened his mouth and laughed.
"Yizheng, why are you laughing? My father is ill."
"Hahahaha, father, the young assistant of the Ministry of Administration is on his way to our house."
"The administrative department wants to come here? What's so funny about that!" Li Jia deliberately lowered his face and reprimanded: "I'd better learn from your brother and don't always be so rash."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, Toshimasa couldn't help but laugh: "Father, I heard that the young assistant of the governor bought a beautiful woman from the Fireworks Willow Lane in Hakata.
Woolen cloth!"
"Beauty?" Li Jia frowned slightly and began to think about the possible reasons. However, he ignored that children of Li Zheng's age were not thinking at the same level as him.
"The serious Harujibe Shaosuke actually...hahahaha, now it has caused a stir in the whole city. I heard that this woman had a good relationship with Dr. Asano Sakyo and Nabeshima Katsushige in Yanagi-machi. Chibe Shaosuke has become a child again this time.
, seems to be competing with the young samurai. Oh, by the way, I heard that Mrs. Yodo mentioned this. Hahaha..."
"I don't think there's anything funny." Before his father could speak, Li Chang said with a straight face.
"The fun is yet to come, brother. Since Jibu dares to bring the young woman back, it shows that he has courage. Isn't this interesting?"
Li Chang secretly glanced at his father and saw that the Li family looked very interested at the moment, so he shut up obediently.
"The young assistant of the administrative department first finds a beautiful woman, and then plans to recommend a beautiful woman to his father - this is what Mrs. Yodo said."
"Huh?" Li Chang was stunned for a moment.
"That's why it's interesting. Brother, what kind of woman do you think the Chief of Staff would recommend to my father?"
"Li Zheng, be careful what you say. You are too frivolous."
"Brother, you are wrong. I heard rumors that Mrs. Yodo laughed and said that the young assistant in charge wanted to recommend her to her father. If this statement is true, there may be nothing more ridiculous in the world. Hahaha."
Maeda Dainagon Toshiie finally couldn't help but darken his face again this time: "Be careful what you say, Toshimasa!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he coughed slightly, and Mrs. Asatsu walked in with tea. Li Zheng quietly suppressed his smile and patted his father's back.
At this time, a figure appeared outside the partition, it was Fu Po University, a close confidant of the Lee family.
"Your Highness, Ishida Harubu Shaofu is here to visit."
"Sure enough, it's here." Li Zheng laughed mischievously.
"You are too presumptuous, Li Zheng!" The Li family scolded lightly and straightened their clothes. In the past, no matter who came, the Li family would always wear formal clothes and meet in the hall, but today it seemed a little abnormal.
"I am ill, so I have to be rude. You can bring him here." Li Jia felt unhappy in his heart, but he pretended to be nonchalant on his face. He was no longer the "Gun Zhi You Zuo" who laughed and cursed sincerely when he was young.
.
"Toshinaga, Toshitoshi, please step aside. He may have come to discuss with me the move of Osaka City for the young master." The Toshi family dismissed their two sons, tried their best to suppress their coughs, and waited for Sancheng.
After Sancheng came in, he saluted respectfully and asked: "I took the wrong way in the city just now, and I came here late. How is your highness doing?"
"It's nothing serious. It's just because of my age."
"Your Highness's face looks much better than Sanzheng expected, so Sanzheng is relieved. For the sake of the Toyotomi clan and the world, please take more care of your Highness." Sanzheng said respectfully: "Your Highness must have heard about it - the Zuofu has already taken action.
Already."
"Zuofu?"
"So His Highness doesn't know yet? He is finally going to reveal the claws he has hidden for a long time." Mitsunari looked quite calm, with a solemn face, and said coldly: "I heard that when I was away, he visited Nagasou, my subordinate, and Naoyori Shinjo.
Shimazu Yoshihisa, Hosokawa Yusai Totaka and others... The Hosokawa family and your family are relatives, and Sancheng thought that His Highness had heard about it."
"I don't know anything about what you said. Zhibu, are you saying that Zuofu did something inappropriate?"
"Yes, it is indeed unforgivable... According to Sancheng, he is ruthlessly trampling on His Highness the Taige's legacy and law."
"oh?"
"Does His Highness not know any news?" Sancheng looked very surprised and said: "What he did is really intolerable! Previously, the Taige had issued an order that the marriages of all the famous people must be approved by the Taige.
The government allowed him to do so. However, he arbitrarily trampled on the Taikaku's orders and continued to secretly marry Yonda Masamune, Fukushima Masanori, Hachisuka Kasei, etc."
"Well?"
"Thirty percent is not a lie. We have sent people to investigate carefully and the evidence is conclusive. Your Highness, Taige's funeral has not yet been held, but he is acting so recklessly. If we just sit back and do nothing, how can we explain to the world?"
Toshiie was silent and silent for a long time. Ieyasu might really be able to do this kind of thing... But then I thought about it, what would be the consequences of rashly accusing Ieyasu? Before taking action, there must be a complete plan.
Now that Taiko has passed away, all government affairs have been handed over to Ieyasu. In this way, after Taiko's death, does it mean that the marriages of the daimyo should first obtain Ieyasu's permission? Ieyasu will definitely refute this.
Seeing the silence of the Li family, Sancheng quietly moved forward. "Of course, we try not to make things worse. But if we ignore it, His Highness Taige's decree will be completely destroyed sooner or later. How can His Highness lose his face at this time?"
The young master is in name only, so naturally we can’t explain it to Taige.”
At this point, Mitsunari emphasized his tone: "He wants to welcome the daughter of Masamune Yonda as the main wife of his sixth son, Tadaki. Needless to say, this is naturally to contain the Uesugi family.
He also married the daughter of his half-brother Yasumoto Hisamatsu to Tadakatsu, the heir of Fukushima Masanori, as an adopted daughter, and married the daughter of his grandson-in-law Hidemasa Ogasawara to the legitimate son of Hachisuka Kasei.
In addition, he seems to be actively seeking a marriage with Kato Kiyomasa... He is trying to split the group of military commanders who have followed His Highness Taiko since childhood, whether it is Fukushima, Hachisuka, Kato, His Highness, or Zuofu.
I don’t think they know what they are like as human beings, but the matter has come to this..."
"Your Highness, the Governor, this matter is not a trivial matter and must be considered carefully and with extreme caution."
"What His Highness said is absolutely true, and we must not sit idly by and ignore it." The two people had fundamentally different opinions, but their Japanese was always ambiguous, and Ishida Mitsunari's words clearly dragged Maeda Toshiie into a trap.
However, Maeda Toshiie is not a fool, and this little trick is really hard to pull off in front of him.
"But once we raise this matter rashly, the people on the other side can say that Taige has passed away and entrusted all government affairs to the Zuofu... Once we can't refute him, it will be disadvantageous for us, and I'm afraid they will raise the issue
It's a stone that hits oneself in the foot. So, we must find another way."
Toshiya's eyes were fixed on Mitsunari, as sharp as the tip of the spear in "Gun Matazu" when he was young: "Those generals who have followed Taiko since childhood deliberately want to marry Ieyasu. What is the reason? I think this is more
It’s worthy of our careful consideration.”
"Does His Highness think that they took the initiative to approach Zuofu out of resentment towards Sancheng?"
"If this is really the case, how do you want to deal with it?" The loyal elder Toshiie Maeda has actually learned to be sarcastic recently: "But in the end, we are just guessing, maybe they want to seek the young master An Tai by approaching Zuofu."
"oh?"
"Perhaps they think that you are more dangerous to the Toyotomi clan than the Zuofu, and your presence makes them dare not be careless."
After hearing these words, Mitsunari's face suddenly turned red. He suddenly raised his head and stared at Toshiya. He never expected that such bitter sarcasm would come from the mouth of Maeda Dainan, who was always kind-hearted.
"I also heard that both President Konishi, Kato and Asano are accusing each other of inappropriate actions in the Korean battlefield. If this continues, more surprising things may happen one after another. Therefore, I think this matter
It must be handled with caution.”
As soon as Li Jia said this, Sancheng's shoulders suddenly shook violently, and he actually cried.
"Does it mean that... Da Nayan also thinks that Sancheng... is that kind of person?"
Li Jia kept silent. Based on his experience in looking at people, Sancheng's cry seemed not to be fake, but at this point, there was no words to comfort Sancheng, so he could only wait for the other party to calm down on his own.
"This is so surprising to Sanzheng. The Toyotomi clan comes first, and the young master is the most important. This has always been Sanzheng's idea. Apart from that, there are absolutely no selfish thoughts. But I didn't expect the result to be like this..."
Sancheng looked full of grievances, and it was not impossible for the Li family to understand his thoughts. But why were the veterans in front of Taige's account so disgusted? The Li family felt that it was necessary to use this to make him reflect.
Military generals like people who are upright, simple, and straightforward. If you are straightforward and communicate with them openly, they will naturally get close to you. But Sancheng has always done the opposite, and he is always somewhat resistant to the bold and uninhibited style. This is in the eyes of the military generals.
, the three achievements are completely fake and bully. They usually rely on their power to prevent the generals from approaching Taige...
The Toshi family knew very well that the two sides were jealous of each other. The fight between them led to the tragedy of Sekiba Hideji, and now Konishi and Kato are at odds with each other. Originally, Kato Kiyomasa and Konishi Yukinaga's territories were adjacent, so they were most likely to have trouble.
Friction. President Konishi supported Mrs. Yodo, while Kato Kiyomasa supported the Hokkaido Government. Coupled with all the prejudices and speculations in the world, there was even greater discord between them.
After Sancheng's emotions gradually calmed down, Lijia slowly said: "Your Highness Zhibu, I don't think anyone in the world doubts your sincerity. You only think about Taige's favor to you, and you only think about the future of the young master.
But...the generals are still very disgusted with you. Think about it, could the reason lie elsewhere?"
"There are many inadequacies in Sancheng."
"It's best if you know. Of course you are also worried about the Toyotomi clan, but you also have to believe that the generals are no less loyal to the young master than you are. They are loyal to Taige, and naturally they are also loyal to the young master.
So you have to think about whether your usual approach is a bit excessive? For example, whether it is too arbitrary."
"Your Highness, I am deeply surprised." Sancheng's shoulders trembled violently again, and he said as if he was holding back his emotions: "Sancheng came here today to complain to Da Najib about the misdeeds of the Zuo Mansion, and he came to listen to Da Najib sincerely.
Yan’s opinion. For the sake of the Toyotomi clan, Mitsunari will not sit idly by and ignore any actions that harm the future of the Toyotomi clan. But His Highness has always rebuked Mitsunari... It seems that Mitsunari has indeed acted inappropriately."
These words obviously meant to be angry. Maeda Toshiie shook his head slightly: "Your Highness Jibu, it seems that you don't even care about what I just said."
"Da Na Yan misunderstood."
"I'll stop talking and tell you my opinion directly. I wonder if you have ever thought about it. Except for Yin Da, the people you just mentioned are all playmates and even friends you have known since childhood."
"That's why Sancheng was anxious and aggrieved."
"Don't be impatient. Why can't you calm down and ask your former friends for their opinions? If they discovered your fault from the beginning and didn't point it out, then as friends, they are not loyal enough. I, the Li family, don't like you.
The reason may lie in this." Although Li Jia's voice sounded very peaceful, his tone was colder than Qiu Shuang.
Mitsunari stared at Toshiie with splitting eyes. He originally planned to anger Toshiie first, and then accuse Ieyasu of his fault together, taking the opportunity to let Toshiie mediate the increasingly tense relationship between him and Kato. But he never expected that
, Li Jia would criticize himself so bluntly and harshly.
Li Jia does not belong to any faction. He always remains neutral. This is 30% clear. If we must say which faction Li Jia belongs to, then he is the "Taiko faction".
Therefore, if he still insists on treating Ieyasu as his enemy, then there is only one person who has the ability to consolidate and unite the Toyotomi clan, and that is Maeda Toshiie. However, Toshiie's words today are nothing short of driving Mitsunari into the abyss of despair.
.
"Do you understand?" Li Jia said again: "It's not the time for me to ask Zuofu whether he's doing something right. What you have to do now is to confirm whether the rumors are true. You have to treat each other with courtesy and ask questions sincerely.
They, think of countermeasures after they are sure, this is the right way to deal with people. If you really think about the Toyotomi clan, you should do your best and act in an orderly manner."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After saying these words, 30% of his lips trembled, and for a moment he couldn't even speak. He did make a mistake. According to his plan, he must
First stir up the Toshi family, then quietly blame Yonda, condemn Fukushima, reprimand Haizuka... If such true thoughts are revealed, Maeda Danagon's face will probably be uglier than now, and he will be more severe.
rebuked him.
However, Mitsunari must not admit defeat so easily. The withdrawal of troops caused the generals to turn against each other. Konishi and Kato blamed each other, and all parties wanted to take the opportunity to show off. Previously, he had always believed that he was loyal to Taiko and the Shimazu family who was loyal to him. Recently, it seemed that
It's starting to waver...
Should he pretend to obey the Toshi family and go back, or should he simply persuade the Toshi family with the high road? If he takes the former approach, the Toshi family will definitely let him put Yinda aside first and secretly summon Fukushima, Hachisuka, Kato and others.
Come, let’s understand the situation first. However, the generals will definitely express their resentment towards Sancheng, and the situation will worsen.
Sancheng was driven away by Lijia's righteous words and had no way to go, and finally made a decision.
"Everything your Highness said is reasonable. But... I wonder if Mitsunari didn't speak clearly. I always think His Highness's judgment is biased." Once he made a decision, Ishida Mitsunari became an amazing eloquent person.
"oh?"
"Sancheng is very clear about what those people who flatter Zuofu want to say." Sancheng pretended to be aggrieved and shot back: "Sancheng never thinks that the loyalty of those generals who have followed Taige since childhood will be inferior to mine.
Today, I just want to tell His Highness that Zuofu is too cunning and cunning."
Once he spoke, Sancheng no longer hesitated. At this time, it was a competition between the confidence and eloquence of both parties. Will Sancheng win with confidence, or will Lijia gain the upper hand with maturity and sophistication?
"Masamune Yin also pretended to be nonchalant. In fact, I have already asked Munakaru Imai from Jie Port to pass the message, but the result is still unclear."
"Have you already gone to question him?"
"Of course, I acted in secret. I didn't find out clearly... Sanzheng was afraid that this would reach the ears of Dai Yan, and he would blame me for not thinking carefully. However, His Highness has a guess that seems to be right. Masanori Fukushima said that marriage
The matter was not brought up by Zuofu, but by them on their own initiative for the sake of young master Hideyori."
"Hey, what did Hachisuka say?"
"Haizuka said that Zhizhen was young and only obeyed Zuofu's orders. He had no choice but to agree. The more Sancheng asked, the more divergent their explanations became. In the end, no one understood the point at all.
Of course, this is all instigated by the Zuofu behind the scenes. But if we let it go, the Toyotomi clan's decree will become a piece of paper. Therefore, Sancheng thinks that this is a move that the Zuofu has long played.
, wanting to pave the way for his future. Now the upright generals have fallen into his trap. If I ask again now, I'm afraid it's too late."
Li Jia shook his head and sighed: "Have you even gone through this step?"
"Should Sancheng just watch them cook the raw rice into cooked rice? Da Nayan, Sanzheng begs you, Sanzheng also feels that this matter is very inappropriate. However, once the Zuofu is allowed to act arbitrarily, the consequences are really unpredictable. Da Nayan
Yan, please help Sancheng no matter what! If Your Highness is worried about Sancheng’s relationship with the generals, in the future..."
Sancheng said excitedly and fell on the ground respectfully: "Sancheng didn't mean to ask Danayan to immediately go and question the Zuofu. All the ministers and elders also knew about this, so they asked Danayan to come up with an idea.
.Otherwise, all the great names in the world will be controlled by the Zuofu, and uncontrollable civil strife may occur at any time.
His Highness Da Nayan, Sancheng feels that only Da Nayan is the one who supports the young master from the bottom of his heart, so even though he knows that it is against His Highness's wishes, he still stubbornly requests His Highness..."
Lijia was silent with a bitter look on his face, and 30% of his eloquence left him speechless.
"Asong, decoction..." After closing his eyes and thinking for a long time, Lijia coughed as if asking for help, and called for his wife. If Sancheng was sent away forcibly, I don't know what this person would do... Lijia in his youth
He was once a stubborn person who refused to give in to anyone. But faced with such a persistent Sancheng, he was helpless.
The Li family was still thinking while holding the soup. No chaos would be allowed to happen now. Just as Mrs. Asong used the analogy before, the current situation is like an egg on the tip of a knife. As long as there is a slight mistake in the decision, something will happen.
If there is any disturbance, the Toyotomi family's foundation will be shaken or even collapse on its own.
The young master, Hideyori, is ignorant and young. No matter how strong they are, whether they are Hokusei Office or Lady Yodo, they are all women. Now the only person who can do anything in the Toyotomi family is really the sickly Maeda Dainagon.
A miserable old man.
"Oh, you have inquired this far?" Li Jia held the decoction in his hand and sighed: "Then I can't ignore it."
Sancheng's face showed joy: "Da Nayan promised Sancheng?"
"I'm doing it for the Toyotomi clan and for the young master." Toshiya quickly glanced at his wife and continued: "But before the young master moves to Osaka, we must not mess up the matter."
"What should we do?"
"We must think carefully. If this causes a riot in Fushimi, what will the young master do? Therefore, the young master must be moved to Osaka early in the first month and then deal with the matter."
"Your Highness Mingjian..." Sancheng was about to say something immediately.
"Of course, we must quietly ask Zuofu to accompany us when we move. After we have secured Osaka, we can then negotiate with them." After saying that, Lijia gently closed his eyes.
Mitsunari hesitated to speak. Toshiya did not agree to go immediately to question Ieyasu, which showed that he was very dissatisfied now. But Mitsunari also knew not to annoy Toshiya anymore. After all, Toshiya's words were reasonable and very stable, which could be said to be a foolproof move.
30% can guess what the Toshiyori family plans to do: first let Mr. Hideyori move into Osaka Castle, and then the Toshiyori family will definitely order Toshinaga to mobilize a considerable number of troops to station in Osaka to protect Hideyori nearby. Otherwise, if there is no strength as a basis, Ieyasu will not even look at it.
.
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
"So before that..." As soon as Sancheng spoke, Toshiya coughed again and said: "This matter must not be leaked. Once Zuofu becomes suspicious and does not want to go to Osaka, it will be a serious matter. So regarding this matter
, you must go all out and never make a single mistake."
"Thirty percent I understand."
"Then, please forgive me for being rude... The doctor is coming for consultation soon." In fact, it was quite painful for the Li family to even stand up at this time. In the afternoon, it became increasingly cold, and the north wind was biting, as if it was going to snow.
"Your Highness is ill, and Sancheng has been bothering you for so long. I really feel sorry for him." When he said this, Sancheng's face looked very sincere.
"For the sake of our young master, please be patient with me."
"Sancheng understands. Please take care of yourself, Your Highness." Sancheng bowed respectfully, and Mrs. Asong who was standing by her understood it and immediately asked Bupo University who was waiting outside to see off the guests.
When Sancheng left, she turned behind Li Jia and sighed: "Don't you think it's hard?"
Lijia was speechless. He was thinking about deploying troops to Osaka. A hard knot arose in his heart. This hard knot, together with the pain, made it difficult for him to breathe...
"It's difficult to mobilize troops." The Li family endured the discomfort and said, "If too many troops are mobilized, it will definitely irritate the Zuo Mansion. And since the Zuo Mansion has been ordered by Taige to handle affairs, he has the right to mobilize troops.
When I came to Kyoto and Fushimi, it would be like me and Zuofu competing to garrison a large army in Kinki.
However, it is useless if the deployment is too small. Not only does the Zuofu have the right to station troops in Kyoto to ensure the smooth handling of government affairs, but most of the nearly 700,000 koku territory of Yamato and Dainagon in Jiyin and Yamato are now actually occupied.
He was put in charge by Zuofu.
However, Mitsunari controls the nearby Izumi Kingdom. If the Zuofu moves troops from Edo to guard Jiyin and Yamato on the grounds that Mitsunari is full of ill-will towards him, I will then mobilize troops to Osaka, which is not far from the two of them.
Don’t you think I’m targeting him too?
But look at Asong, Osaka is in the west, Kyoto is in the east, Jiyin, and Yamato are in the south. The three places are only a hundred miles apart. If the troops I transferred to Osaka are too few, what if...I said what if, if the Zuofu
If we really use force, Osaka will be attacked from both the east and south.
However, the Zuofu has Ji Yin and nearly 700,000 koku in Yamato, which can provide enough food and pay nearby, but I have to transport money and food from Kaga, five hundred miles away. If you ask me to say that this battle does not need to be fought, Toyotomi and Maeda will
Losing half of it first... it’s hard to deal with it. Thirty percent seems smart, but it seems that you haven’t thought clearly about it from this aspect, where is the chance of winning?”
Mrs. Asong also sighed, but it seemed that the Li family was not troubled enough, so she added: "Did Your Highness forget that a force was not included?"
Li Jia was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "Really?"
"Jie Port - His Highness Taikaku wanted to compete with Kanto and Kyushu, so he sent Yamato Dainagon to negotiate with the Beiyang Maritime Trade Alliance to build Japan's most majestic 'Crystal Tower' in Jie Port. The terms negotiated were as follows
, the Beiyang Maritime Trade Alliance can station troops there, but I don’t know how many troops they have stationed in the boundary port now.”
Maeda Toshiie's expression suddenly changed: he had forgotten that there was a "Ming Army" in Jie Hong!

PS: Two things: 1. Yesterday was supposed to be the 86th sub-chapter of Chapter 281. I got it mixed up when I posted it, but the title of the VIP chapter needs to be changed by contacting the editor. I'm too lazy, so forget it.
2. Because I will be very busy tomorrow because I have something to do, and I am free today, so I combined them into one and updated the content for tomorrow in this chapter in advance, so it is 8k.
