After receiving Cheng Jin's report, Shang Yi was very happy that Bi Jing could peacefully resolve Japan's follow-up problems, which would be better, because just a few days ago, Shang Yi received a message from China, from The fleet sent to Asia has arrived in Batavia, and this time the Netherlands has also used a lot of money to dispatch a very large fleet, with more than one hundred warships and soldiers. More than 15,000 people were found to regain the interests of Asia.
Although Shang Yi left China, his connection with the country has never been interrupted. Every ten days, he would send Shang Yi a document to inform him of the main things that happened in China, as well as the cabinet, and the Congress made it. Of course, during this period, no major events in China have happened. Everything is carried out step by step. The cabinet handled it very well, and Shang Yi is very relieved about it.
Of course, before Shang Yi left China and went to Japan, he knew that the Netherlands had dispatched troops to Asia to participate in the war, and had also formulated a plan to solve Japan first and then deal with the Netherlands. Of course, it was also expected that it would appear. Before the war ended, the Dutch fleet had arrived in Asia, so it also made plans in advance. Once this happened, Cheng Gang led all the Nanyang fleet to attack and arrived in Luzon, preparing to fight against the Netherlands. When the fleet was informing Shang Yi of this news, the cabinet and the Ministry of Defense had already sent a fleet to Luzon according to the pre-formed plan. Of course, the cabinet also advised Shang Yi that if the overall situation in Japan had been determined, it would be Please ask Shang Yi to return to China as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation. The rest of Japan can be left to Cheng Jin.
In fact, the cabinet system has developed very well in the Ming Dynasty. The Jiajing and Wanli dynasties of the Ming Dynasty had not attended court for 20 years, but relying on the automatic operation of the cabinet, overall, the country did not have any major chaos. And now there is a parliamentary resolution, which is both a restriction on the cabinet and can also help the cabinet resolve many things. Since Shang Yi is not in the country, the national administration can still operate intact, but the emperor is always not at home, and the ministers are also in their hearts. It’s a bit unsure, and now the country knows that Japan has indeed decided on its overall situation, so I hope Shang Yi will return to China as soon as possible.
Although Shang Yi was not worried about the war in the South China Sea after the war in the South China Sea was about to begin, Japan's affairs should not be delayed too long. It can be resolved earlier, of course, it is better to resolve earlier. It was freed up energy to pay attention to the battlefield in the South China Sea, so the Tokugawa shogunate decided to surrender, which was of course the best. After all, once a war broke out, I don’t know how long it would take, and the aftermath of the war was also very troublesome.
Therefore, Shang Yi immediately ordered Cheng Jin to leave some of his troops to station in Edo, and then immediately sent the main members of the Tokugawa clan headed by Tokugawa, as well as all the ministers of the shogunate, Daime, to Kyoto. Of course, it also includes Toyotomi Kaoru's mother Tokugawa Chihime. At the same time, under the name of Emperor Shaoren, he issued an order to the daimyos in Tohoku, Hokkaido and other regions, so that they could all rushed to Kyoto immediately to surrender to the Chinese army. , and accepted the Chinese army's slaughter, and ordered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to send officials to Japan, because after the war, there were still a series of treaties between China and Japan to negotiate and formulate, and Shang Yi could not personally Of course, domestic officials must be dispatched to deal with it.
After Edo received the order, Seijin immediately ordered the 7th Division of the 11th Army and the 20th Brigade were stationed in Edo. Then the other troops were divided into two routes and returned to Kyoto, and the Tokugawa tribe was all from Seijin led the team himself, first returned to Osaka from the water route, and then arrived in Kyoto by land. The other daimyos followed other Chinese troops on the Zhongshan Road directly to Kyoto by land, because there was Toyotomi Kaori's mother. After all, Cheng Jin will have accidents on his mind, and there is no need to have any heart on the sea.
A few days later, Seijin led the Tokugawa clan's troops from Osaka to Kyoto. After Kyoto received the report, Toyotomi Kaori also asked Shang Yi for instructions and went out of the city to greet his mother, of course, he was still at the Tofuku Gate of the Japanese royal family. Yuan and Kuannagata Taihuang also accompanied Toyotomi Kaoru out of the city.
In fact, although Tokugawa Chihiko and Tofuku Menyuan are sisters and the aunt of Emperor Kiyonaga, in terms of identity, Tokugawa Chihiko is just a monk and the widow of Daming. And although the relatives are very close, they are actually There was no contact, because when Tokugawa Chihiko was seven years old, he was sent to Osaka to marry Toyotomi Hiderai. Of course, he actually became a child bride. The real marriage was after both of them became adults, but now Tokugawa Chihiko The most important identity is not the relative of Tokugawa or the widow of Daming, but the mother of the Chinese imperial concubine. The situation is stronger than that of others. Therefore, Dongfu Gate and Kuanyong Taihuang had to put down their figure and go out of the city to welcome De. Kawa Chihito.
When he learned that the imperial concubine was waiting outside the city, although he knew that she was here to pick up her mother, Chengjin still ordered that the troops stopped. He first came forward to meet Toyotomi Kaoru in person. After Chengjin met, Toyotomi Xun was also very polite to him and said, "General Cheng has worked hard all the way. I don't know where my mother is now."
Of course, Cheng Jin also knew what happened and said, "Please rest assured to Empress Zhao Jie, the old lady is in the team, please follow me." Although Tokugawa Chihime is now a monk, Bi Jing is the imperial concubine. The biological mother of Chengjin respectfully called her the old lady.
As he said that, Cheng Jin led Toyotomi Kaoru to a carriage. He saw a curtain lifting and a middle-aged girl got out of the carriage. She wore a monk's hat and black clothes, holding her hands. Holding a string of rosary.
When they met, they looked at each other for a while, and they were looking for the memories of the past from each other's faces. However, when they were separated, Tokugawa Chihito was already an adult, and now they are middle-aged. , but because of his proper maintenance and a bit like that of the past, Toyotomi Kaoru first found the memory of that year and said in a trembling voice: "Mother."
Although Toyotomi Kaoru is still the child's appearance in Tokugawa Chihito's image, now you can see some of the shadow of Toyotomi Hidera from her body, and the mother and daughter also have an attractive nature. Although Tokugawa Chihime has been a monk for nearly ten years, he is the daughter he has not seen in nearly twenty years. At this time, he naturally couldn't help but feel excited and said, "Chyohime, is it really you?"
Chiyohime is Toyotomi Kaoru. When she was young, her parents and retainers called her this. However, after the Osaka Castle was destroyed, she took the official name of Toyotomi Kaoru, and Toyotomi Yuzhong changed her name to As the princess, no one called her nickname again. Therefore, when she heard her mother calling her nickname again, Toyotomi Kaori felt a little sad, so she stepped forward, hugged Tokugawa Chihito and said, " Mother, I am Chiyoguchi, your Chiyoguchi."
Tokugawa Chihiko also hugged Toyotomi Kaoru, and the mother and daughter hugged each other and started crying.
After crying for a while, Cheng Jin advised: "Empress Zhaojie, old lady, you mother and daughter have been separated for many years. It is a good thing to meet today, so don't be too sad."
Cheng Jin only speaks Chinese. When Toyotomi Kaoru heard this, he wiped his tears and said, "General Cheng, I'm sorry, you'll take care of my mother all the way."
Cheng Jin said, "Where is what Empress Zhao Jie said, this is my duty, but the old lady has worked hard all the way, so the empress should have taken the old lady to the city to rest."
Toyotomi Kaoru nodded and said, "Mother, let's go to the city first with me."
Tokugawa Chihiko also nodded, wiped her tears, and said, "Chyohime, this time I also brought another daughter and an adopted son with me, they..."
Toyotomi Kaoru now knows that his mother had remarried and gave birth to a daughter named Honda Katsuhito for the Hondo family, and adopted Tokugawa Tsunagi, but she also knew that these things could not be blamed on her mother, so she said : "Is it my brother, sister? They are there, mother will ask them to come out."
When Tokugawa Chihiko heard this, he was relieved. Remarriage was also the biggest concern she had when she met Toyotomi Kaoru, but when Toyotomi Kaoru called them, he knew that his daughter didn't mind, which also meant that Toyotomi Kaoru would not. I recognized them, but at least I didn't plan to pursue them anymore, so Tokugawa Chihito could feel at ease.
In fact, this encounter is not only a reunion of mother and daughter, but also has very important political significance, because it is related to the survival of the Tokugawa clan. Although the Chinese army has already stated that it can ensure the personal safety of the Tokugawa clan, It is entirely possible to kill a few of the leaders of the Tokugawa clan, such as the contemporary shogun Tokugawa Ietsunobu and the old man, Masayuki Masao. Of course, it is understandable that there are more people. This is also something that the loser must pay. The price is just as Tokugawa Chihime's position, I still hope that the Chinese army can completely spare the Tokugawa clan. If she fails to meet her, she has made the worst plan. She can only do her own ability to keep one and one, so she has made a special trip. Let your daughter and adopted son come with you.
But judging from Toyotomi Kaoru's attitude now, it is obvious that the hatred for Tokugawa is not as profound as expected, so Tokugawa Chihito was also very pleased and hurriedly turned around and said, "Kakihito, Tsuna Chong have come to see him quickly. Your sister.”
Honda Katsuhito has now married Toba lord Ikeda Mitsumasa, but Ikeda Mitsumasa follows Daming's team by land. Although Tokugawa Tsunagi is usually arrogant, he knows the current situation and is much more honest. After hearing the greetings of Tokugawa Chihito, they all hurried out from the team, knelt down and kowtowed to Toyotomi Kaoru, and said, "I've seen my sister."
Toyotomi Kaoru helped the two of them up and said, "Kakihito, Tsunagi shouldn't do this. For so many years, I have been unable to be filial to my mother. I'll take care of my mother for me. Okay, let's go to the city together. .”
At this time, Dongfu Gate and Kuanyen Taihuang also came over and met Tokugawa Chihime. Although they had no contact, they were closest relatives after all, so they said some greetings to each other.
After a few words of chill, Toyotomi Kaori helped his mother into the car, and asked Honda Katsuhime and Tokugawa Chihiko to take the same car. Tokugawa Tsuna followed behind, and he got on the car himself, saying goodbye to Chengjin and led him. They entered Kyoto City together, until Nijo Castle, while the other Tokugawa tribes were led by Seijin to enter Kyoto and live in designated places.
