Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1896
Gao Wushi didn't intend to interrogate the captives. After all, in his opinion, the Japanese invaders had no way out under his overall calculations. Their destruction was only a matter of time, and it didn't matter whether they saw the captives or not.

However, an accident happened, Fujido Gaohu strongly demanded to meet with Gao Wushi through guarding soldiers, claiming that he had important information to report to Gao Wushi face to face.

When Gao Wushi heard the news, his first reaction was "Todo Takatora is going to sell Hideyoshi".It's no wonder that Gao Pragmatism thinks too much, after all, Fujido Takatora's reputation in history is really not very good, especially since he seems to be crucified on the opposite side of "loyalty".

But no matter what, he is also a general of the Japanese army after all, and it is not easy to report something important if he speaks conclusively.Of course, according to Gao’s consistent style of pragmatism, you can’t fight without preparation, so you need to pass the matter about Takatora Todo in your mind, and think about this person first, so that you can “predict people like a god”.

[Note: The biography of Todo Takatora is available on Baidu Encyclopedia, so I won’t repeat it here, and readers will know it by default. ]
Gao Wushi recalled it carefully, and found that Fujido Takatora's infamy was not caused by the uproar at the time, but more than 200 years after his death, because his descendants turned against him and brought him infamy.At that time, people directly scolded Jin Fan for having the "style" of his ancestors, so Fujido Gaohu was pulled out of the pile of old papers and stood trial.

In fact, although Fujido has changed jobs many times, it is reasonable to say that it belongs to the daily "two-way choice" between the generals of the Warring States Period and the lord. He actually has no record of defection on the battlefield.From this point of view, the later people's infamy against him is probably more of fabrication and throwing dirty water, or at least using the moral standards of later generations to demand the ancients, which is obviously not objective.

And because of the network effect in later generations, his image has been portrayed more deeply.In fact, what is it that criticizes him the most on the Internet?It should be that he finally took refuge in Tokugawa Ieyasu instead of being buried for the Toyotomi family.

Therefore, Gao Pragmatic has to ponder the relationship between Todo Takatora, Toyotomi and Tokugawa first.

First of all, there are the most realistic reasons: after Hideyoshi's death, Hideyori was young, with a small child, and Asai Chacha's harem woman, and both mother and son were powerless people in the system arranged before Hideyoshi's death.In theory, they don't have the right to speak, administrative, personnel, military, financial...all.

Hideyoshi, Ishida and the others set up a system of five big bosses plus five ministers. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Fengxing is the internal affairs team of Toyotomi's direct line, but the big bosses are all in their own way, and the future will definitely be unstable.

At this time, the most powerful person was Tokugawa Ieyasu, so in the eyes of many people, Ieyasu would most likely be the next "man of the world".In this way, Fujido Takatora is just standing in line.

Toyotomi has no genealogy, and these retainers are all the first generation.Fujido Takatora is essentially a retainer of the Yamato Toyotomi family that was canceled by Hideyoshi.Therefore, he stood in line to Tokugawa outside Toyotomi, but there was actually no burden.

As for what happened before Ieyasu's death, the Tokugawa world had been stabilized at that time.At that time, Todo Takatora took ten thousand steps back and said that it was just flattering Tokugawa Ieyasu, but in exchange for 200 years of family stability.

Just take a look at how much the Tokugawa shogunate has changed, how much it has been monitored and consumed, and you will know that Fujido Takatora's filming of Ieyasu is really comfortable for the shogunate.How many "turmoil" and changes in appearance?But Fujido's Tsu clan was safe until the end of the Edo period.

Besides, is it okay if people don't shoot?If you don't shoot, can you say "Todo Takatora is my first battle"?
Of course, if this is the only way, it can only prove that Fujido Gaohu has fallen on both sides of the wall, but there are others.

The so-called others bear the brunt of the relationship between the Toyotomi family and him.Fujido Takatora has jumped jobs many times, but in fact there is only one boss he recognizes, not Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but Toyotomi Hidecho!
His affection for Toyotomi's family, or what the Japanese call "bond", has always been with Hidenaga.A person who once cut off his colleagues when he disagreed with each other, after being with Xiuchang, he no longer cut off his colleagues, but instead went to have a good relationship with everyone.

A man who originally only relied on martial arts to fight and kill people, but in order to be the boss of Xiuchang, he was able to do various tasks such as city building, city construction, official negotiations and even intelligence reconnaissance. If he hadn't been for Xiuchang, Why so hard?It stands to reason that he only needs to fight hard, isn't it enough?
But a problem has arisen, the Yamato Toyotomi family he is loyal to (that is, the Hidecho family) is in conflict with the Toyotomi family!This is about the Fujido Takayoshi incident.

At the beginning, Hideyoshi wanted to adopt the child of Niwa's family as an adopted son, but Hideyoshi was very unhappy, and the two brothers had a long fight.In the end, Fujido Takatora stepped forward to adopt the matter, which can be regarded as avoiding the continuous conflict between Hidecho and Hideyoshi.

Afterwards, Hideonaga adopted Toyotomi Hideho, and as a result, within a few years of Hideunaga's death, Hideho also passed away.At this time, as the chief retainer of the Yamato Toyotomi family and the elder of the writing family, Todo Takatora had been arguing for a long time. He wanted Todo (Niwa) Takayoshi to inherit the Yamato Toyotomi family so that Hidecho would not be extinct, but Hideyoshi did not allow it.

As a result, Todo Takahu was sad and angry, and ran to become a monk.Later, Hideyoshi gave him his name, but he was actually forced to come back.

How should I put it, after all, he is the elder of the Toyotomi branch family, with good ability and popularity. Such a brain drain is indeed a bit embarrassing for the Toyotomi family.

Although Hideyoshi is really hard to explain to his retainers, it is impossible for Todo Takatora to be completely ignorant of Hideyoshi's employment style.So here is a very real question: Hideyoshi is really in a hurry and asked him Todo Takatora to cut his belly, can he refuse?

Three months after Xiubao's death, the Xiuci incident also broke out.Gao Yushi saw it in an NHK documentary back then, saying that Todo Takatora and the Toyotomi system parted ways because "it used to be regarded as the central government, but now it is a local leader". Therefore, their positions are different and their thoughts have changed.

This may make sense, but it can be understood in reverse: he used to be a retainer of the "Toyotomi branch family, Yamato Toyotomi family", so of course he had to do his best for Toyotomi.But later, this branch family was canceled by the clan and became extinct, so what should I do?
Sorry, then I will naturally become a free man, and I should be busy with my own life, why should I be loyal to "Toyotomi"?My main family is the Yamato Toyotomi family, and the lord is Hidecho, not you Hideyoshi.Xiuchang Juexi, if you refuse to let Gao Ji adopt him, then of course I have no object of allegiance.

Finally, Gao Wushi thought about the relationship between Ieyasu Tokugawa and Takatora Todo.

It is almost impossible for a foreigner to be trusted by the three Tokugawa generations throughout his life.Don't say that Date Masamune and him are "external twins", this is a joke.

Did Date Masamune do any tricks with Hideyoshi?Of course, Kasai and Osaki Kazukui are the same!Have you ever played tricks on Ieyasu?Of course there are, isn't it true that there is a Kui in the Nanbu clan's territory!There were even rumors that "Date united with Okubo Chang'an, and supported Zhonghui with the help of Spain"... So Ieyasu has always followed Masamune very hard.

And Takatora Fujido is so trusted, which means that this person at least has no record of "disloyalty" first, otherwise it would be no wonder that Ieyasu could not guard against it.

It is said that Takatora Todo is "a master-changing madman", but Tokugawa Ieyasu really has no grievances or concerns in this regard, and even Takatora Todo, as an outsider, actually masters the power of ninjas in the later stage.It is enough to show that Ieyasu recognizes his loyalty and character.

As the actual ruler, Ieyasu's loyalty and conduct can never be the irony of the "widow-changing monster" on the Internet, nor is it "the anti-thief old turtle who bullies orphans and widows recognizes traitors, this is a similar smell".

If Fujido Takatora is such a person, Ieyasu will have to consider whether Hidetada and even Iemitsu can handle him in the future, then he must be killed by commotion and changing the one-stop measures.But Ieyasu recognized him and gave him extraordinary trust and power.

After pondering the relationship between Fujido Takatora and the important figures of the main factions, Gao Yushi also thought about the issue of interests.

Fujido Takatora was originally the elder of the family of [-] koku. Later, after the Hidecho lineage was extinct, he was granted [-] koku by Hideyoshi, reaching the fief of [-] koku.But this has a premise. The protagonist Toyotomi Hideonaga, who was kind to him, originally had the territory of Yamato, Kii, and Izumi with a total of millions of stones-so if Fujido Takatora did not object to this incident, it would be to take the gift of knowing you. En's main family's million-dollar territory and family name will be exchanged for [-] seals.

But Fujido Takatora objected. He first wanted Takaji to change his successor. After Hideyoshi objected, he even ran to become a monk.

Even if you have to look at him from the perspective of "mercenary", then after the death of the old master, as the elder who assisted the young master, his influence and actual power are much greater than that of the seven thousand stone daimyo.

You must know that the head of a million-dollar daimyo, the elder of the writing family, is not much better than the daimyo of less than one hundred thousand shi. For example, the northeast daimyo Tsugaru Weixin was humiliated by the old writing master of the Maeda family, Okumura Yongfuku.

So no matter how you count it, whether it's feelings or benefits, Todo Takatora will suffer.Hideyoshi suffered such a big loss for him, and wanted him to be loyal and buried for the Toyotomi family. How is this possible?

You must know that during the Warring States period in Japan, no one tried their best to promote the idea of ​​foolish loyalty to the Lord—that was the Edo period of the Tokugawa shogunate.

Thinking of this, Gao Wushi began to vaguely guess what Todo Takatora wanted to do.

He has no loyalty to Toyotomi Hideyoshi at all!Not to mention allegiance, maybe he still hates Hideyoshi, thinking that Hideyoshi took away the territory and family name that originally belonged to Hidecho, which is extremely mean and ungrateful.

This is a bit interesting, Gao Wushi immediately became interested, and ordered Fujido Gaohu to be brought here.Not long after, Fujido Takatora, whose whole body was tightly bound, was taken to Gao Yushi's tent.

Gao Yushi was taken aback when he saw this person at first sight - not because he was tied up like a rice dumpling, but because this person seemed to be a little bit taller than Gao Ge's old man.

This is an exaggeration.Gao Yu's height is 1.8 meters by the standards of later generations. What is the average height of the Japanese at this time?However, Todo Takatora seems to be 1.9 meters, isn't this a giant in Japan?No wonder this guy can always be taken in. His height alone makes people have to "take a look".

Fujido Gaohu seemed to know Gao Yushi's big red silk sitting python robe, his eyes lit up when he saw the latter, and he said loudly, "Is this the way Tangtang treats guests?"

Gao Yushi was delighted when he heard it. Todo Takatora's Chinese can only be said to be barely understandable, and the accent is very heavy, and he needs to deliberately slow down the speed of speech. Compared with the previous Shimadzu Tokiku too much.And what he said is also somewhat meaningful, as if he followed the style of some Chinese romance novels in the past, using "rituals" to run on high pragmatism.

"How to treat guests?" Gao Wushi smiled slightly, and replied calmly: "Todo Takahu, are you a guest?"

Fujido Gaohu was stunned, as if he hadn't expected Gao Yushi's reaction, but he quickly realized, and said, "Maybe it wasn't originally, but it might not be in the future."

It seems that Takatora Todo is still a martial artist at heart, and he is not particularly good at twists and turns. He wants to speak up earlier when he speaks, and he doesn't like to do "useless work".

Gao Wushi had a solid idea in his mind, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked: "After the Ministry of the Pavilion recovers Busan and crosses the sea to flatten Toyotomi, you will be sacrificed to the capital, and maybe you will become a corner of the capital. This is you What about the future?"

Fujido Gaohu smiled and said: "Of course Xiangguo can do this, but it is definitely not the best treatment. Xiangguo, I, Fujido Gaohu, am confident that I will be of great use to you—especially if you really want to crush Toyotomi."

"Oh?" Gao Wushi smiled faintly: "How can you see that?"

Fujido Takahu raised his chin slightly, and said, "Daban Castle was built here."

Gao Wushi was slightly taken aback: "You mean the Osaka Castle of Toyotomi's family?"

"Exactly, is there a second Osaka City in the world?"

This surprised Gao Wushi a bit, because in his impression, although Todo Takatora did build Osaka Castle, it seems that he was talking about rebuilding Osaka Castle during the Tokugawa Shogunate era!Could it be that he was responsible for the first construction of Osaka Castle in the Toyotomi era?
But after thinking about it, Gao Wushi believed it again, because it only took a little inquiring about this matter, and Fujido Takatora would not lie about such a matter.

Besides, Todo Takatora was indeed Japan's leading fortification expert in this era, and he was already a retainer of Toyotomi Hidecho at that time, so it is not surprising that Hideyoshi ordered him to preside over the construction of Osaka Castle.

High pragmatism This is the performance of reading history that emphasized politics, military and economy over other parts, so that I can't remember exactly which cities Todo Takatora built.

In fact, Fujido Takatora successively built his own cities, Saruoka Castle, Uwajima Castle, Ozu Castle, Imabari Castle, Damishima Ganzaki Castle, Iga Ueno Castle, Tsu Castle, etc.; under the Toyotomi regime. Yamato Gunyama Castle, Osaka Castle, and Wakayama Castle; under the Tokugawa regime, Edo Castle, Sasayama Castle, and Shansho Castle were built; and Fushimi Castle, Tanba Kameyama Castle, Yodo Castle, and Osaka Castle were rebuilt.

Judging from these achievements, it is probably not an exaggeration to say that he is the number one castle builder in Japan today.

"In this way, you are indeed of some use." Gao Wushi smiled slightly: "But this is not enough - you have also seen the artillery fire from my Heavenly Soldiers, no matter how strong the city of Daban is, the Heavenly Soldiers will collapse one day. "

Fujido Gaohu said with a smile: "I'm not only useful for this, but..." he said, looking down at the rope on his body.

Gao Wushi also smiled, and waved his hands at the same time: "Come here, untie General Fujido."
