Chapter 1910 Return to Japan ([-]) Acceptance
Kuroda Nagamasa didn't mention putting down his arms to stop the war and return home. Instead, when he saw Gao Yushi, he bowed to the ground and said directly: "The barbaric little chief Kuroda Nagamasa, pays homage to Tang Prime Minister Nanning Marquis Gao Gong. Changzheng came here for no other reason. Just to worship Minggong as the master, to lead the horse, drop the pedal, hold the rein and hold the whip for Minggong, I hope Minggong will take it in."

Rao is highly pragmatic and always pays attention to a foreshadowing or failure, and he did not expect Kuroda Nagamasa to recognize the master when he came up, so that he doubted for a while that the so-called Japanese are loyal to the master that he read in history books. Not all of those writers are talking in their dreams.

Fortunately, Gao Wushi is already used to the turbulent "Tang Prime Minister". Although he was shocked for a moment, he quickly replied: "My father is the minister of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. It's really unbelievable for you to say that you worship me as the master."

"My father is a minister of the Taiko, so what does he have to do with Nagamasa?" Kuroda Nagamasa did not change his expression, and said with a natural expression: "Besides, my father has been ordered by the Taiko to become a monk for a long time, and he will not have an official position when he comes to the court again this time." Being dispatched by the body is nothing more than Fang Wai's body as the two chief generals Yu Xita and Mao Li give advice, and it is up to them whether to listen or not.

Minggong, even my father is no longer a minister of the Taige, let alone Changzheng?Minggong is extremely wise in the world, and Chang Zheng dare not pretend to be smart and say something unbelievable, so my father also ordered Chang Zheng to speak out what he wanted. "

"Oh?" Gao Wushi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Hehe, is that so, then tell me, what do you...or your father want?"

"Yes, thank you, Mr. Ming." Kuroda Changzheng said: "My father said that the wisdom of the world can be divided into four grades: the wisdom above people knows the general trend of the world and follows the general trend; the wisdom among people does not know the general trend and follows the general trend; Wisdom, not knowing the general trend, goes against the general trend.”

Gao Wushi smiled slightly: "My father's summary is somewhat interesting, but since it is the fourth class, why is it still missing the first class?"

"It's not that there is a lack of first class, but 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 the high pragmatism of the Han dynasty and cupped his hands, saying: "But father said, Minggong will For this reason—human beings are utterly wise, creating the general trend and following the general trend.”

Gao Wushi laughed, waved his hands and said: "Your Majesty's words are serious. Even though this cabinet department has a small reputation, it's just a fluke success thanks to the emperor's Hongfu, the help of his colleagues, and the hard work of the soldiers. How dare you take such a high reputation? Let's not mention it, no Mention it."

Kuroda Nagamasa didn't care so much, and continued to say: "Now the new general trend of the world has been formed in the hands of Ming Gong. My father said that although he has no absolute wisdom, he is barely wise. He should know the trend and follow the trend, so there is Changzheng's trip today. I hope you will learn from me."

Gao Yushi was silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "According to what your father said, the upper wisdom is following the trend, and the middle wisdom is following the trend, so what is the difference between the two?"

Kuroda Nagamasa replied: "My father said that although the two are consistent in the end, there is a difference in order. However, the affairs of the world are like a banquet held by a miserly lord and many hungry people go to the banquet. In this way, the first eats meat, and the latter drinks soup. Those who don't reach... just starve to death."

Gao Wushi smiled slightly: "That is to say, your father wants to be the first person to go to the banquet?"

Kuroda Nagamasa sighed softly, and said regretfully: "My father said that the Kuroda family is not strong enough and has already lost the main course. If they can't even eat cold dishes, how can they preserve their family name?"

After Gao Wushi listened to these words, he looked at Kuroda Nagamasa's calm expression again, feeling a little illusory for a moment.Could it be that the effect of his butterfly wings is so strong that even Kuroda Nagamasa, one of the famous second generation cheaters, has become so obedient to his father?
In the original history, as the direct son of Kuroda Rushui, Kuroda Nagamasa had a golden spoon in his mouth from birth.However, Kuroda Nagamasa's gene tree seems to be a bit crooked. As Toyotomi Hideyoshi's number one military adviser, Kuroda Rusui has always been known for his resourcefulness, but unexpectedly, the Kuroda Nagamasa he gave birth to is more like a general like Fukushima Masanori.

Kuroda Nagamasa actually fought fiercely. Anyone who has studied the history of the end of the Warring States Period in Japan knows this, so there is no need to say more.But correspondingly, his brain is somewhat difficult to use in political struggles, and his growth all the way is actually based on cheating his father.

In the process of conquering Kyushu, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, in order to become Kanbai, took a fancy to the family treasure occupied by the town house of Utsunomiya (this can prove that he is a nobleman).However, the town house refused to follow, and Hideyoshi was prevented from coming to power.

Later, under the mediation of Kuroda Rushui (I didn't want Kyushu to kill and stabilize the hearts of Kyushu), Hideyoshi also gave up this idea (later he became the "Yuzi" of the former Sekibai Guards, that is, the "brother's son of the former Kyushu"). "Adopted son", this is to avoid the embarrassment of Toyotomi Hideyoshi asking Konoe Maeku to be his father), anyway, this matter will be left alone.

However, unexpectedly, Kuroda Nagamasa, who was on the side at the time, didn't think so.He thought to himself that his father was too weak, and he was deeply favored by the Beizheng Office (Ning Ning), so how could he submit to these people?

So this kid actually took advantage of his father's going out to attack the Utsunomiya family who were ready to surrender and even came to visit his home in person.But later, it was said that this bear boy who was fighting the township with his hands was entangled by the ghosts of Utsunomiya, so that he couldn't sleep at night. It was Kuroda Rushui who invited a mage to resolve these ghosts.

Putting this aside, Kuroda Nagamasa's reckless and treacherous approach instantly discredited the Kuroda family and was despised by the samurai.The image of benevolence and virtue that his father had cultivated for half his life was completely defeated by him.

Of course, if the father does not hang up, there will be more than one cheating, and Kuroda Nagamasa's cheating path is still going on.But this time it was a little longer, and during the Battle of Sekigahara, Kuroda Nagamasa directly broke his father's three-point world by mistake.

When the protagonist Toyotomi Hideyoshi passed away, and the conflict between Tokugawa Ieyasu and Ishida Mitsunari was irreconcilable and the fight had to start, the Kuroda family was faced with the choice of standing in line.

Considering that most of the military generals of the Arbitrary Faction joined the powerful Eastern Army, and that Kuroda Nagamasa had some conflicts with Ishida Mitsunari when he fought in North Korea, so the then house governor Kuroda Nagamasa directly studded without saying a word, and stood with a clear banner. The Tokugawa side even acted as the vanguard of the Eastern Army (and it was very fierce, it was the Kuroda Army that broke through Ishida's three bases).

But compared to his son, Kuroda Rushui thinks further.After Toyotomi Hideyoshi died, he concluded that Japan would enter the Warring States Period again, so he needed to save more capital for the Kuroda family.

His strategy is to use his prestige and the strength of his troops in three steps: the first step is to take Kyushu first; the second step is to go north to attack the Maori family in Sanyang and Sanyin; the third step is to join forces with Sekihara The winners compete for the qualification to control the world.

It can be said that to realize this idea, what Kuroda Rushui 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 take Kyushu and the Chinese region-Shimadzu and Maori are both powerful feudal clans, but Kuroda Rushui is the top Japanese As a military adviser, he might really think that as long as the Kuroda family operates well, they can defeat the two strong ones.

However, Kuroda Nagamasa's series of coquettish operations shattered his father's ambitions.First of all, he brought the main force of the Kuroda family to the front line of Sekigahara without discussing with his father, and Kuroda, who was transferred from the main force, was furious like water.

But things have already happened, Kuroda Rusui can only recruit another 9000 people to prepare to go to Kyushu, and at the same time hope that his son can understand his intentions, ride the wall in the Sekigahara battle, and find a way to make the eastern and western armies consume more of both sides.

Obviously, his hopes were dashed again, and the protagonist in it happened to be his good son Nagasaki.

On the one hand, the Kuroda Army and the Fukushima Army fought desperately from the beginning of the battle, and soon the two armies were anxious on the battlefield.And just when the situation was likely to go in the direction of confrontation between the eastern and western armies, Kuroda Nagamasa suddenly "opened his mind" at this time and ran to persuade Kobayakawa Hideaki of the western army.

Sure enough, the two cheating second generations hit it off—rebellion, Kobayakawa's rebellion, coupled with the manipulation of the Maori Triumvirate, made this battle that seemed likely to last for a year to be over in one day.

The most ruthless thing is the aftermath of the war. Not only did the Eastern Army suffer no major damage, but even the Maori Army that withdrew from the battlefield early did not suffer much damage. This made Kuroda Rushui's plan to dominate one side completely defeated, and the instigator of this was himself His good son Kuroda Nagamasa.

It is precisely because of these things that Gao Yushi always believed that Kuroda Nagamasa must be a second generation who did not listen to his father when he read the history of the Warring States Period in his previous life.But looking at Kuroda Nagamasa's performance today, why doesn't he seem to be so bad?

However, after Gao Wushi thought about it, it seems that there is no problem. After all, since the incident of killing Utsunomiya Town House became a big deal, there is no record of Kuroda Nagamasa not listening to his father's good advice. The probability is that the father and son are not in the same place, and there is no contact with each other, so Kuroda Nagamasa has no guidance, and he walked alone and made trouble.

Now it is different, father and son are together, although Kuroda Nagamasa himself is reckless, but in fact, it is very likely that he still listens to his father's advice, so today's situation came about.

Wanting to understand this, Gao Yushi no longer analyzed Kuroda Nagamasa, but began to ponder Kuroda Rushui's approach.

He very much suspected that what Kuroda Nagamasa said just now was actually taught by Kuroda Rushui in advance, because this kid made his statement first, and then explained why Kuroda Rushui did what he did, and echoed the beginning after explaining—— It has become a simplified way of writing stereotyped essays. How can Kuroda Nagamasa, a straight-hearted and fierce general, have this level of thinking?

What's more, if you look back carefully, Kuroda Nagamasa said "my father said" just now. It can be seen that Kuroda and his son know that he is highly pragmatic and only care about what Kuroda Rushui thinks.

So, is Kuroda Rushui's statement true or false?The five fingers of Gao Yushi's right hand tapped the huanghuali wood armrest lightly and rhythmically.

The strength of the Kuroda family is not very strong, and the current territory is only 14 koku in Buzen.How to say this level, it ranks second to last among the nine kingdoms of Kyushu in Japan, only higher than the 12 shi of Hyuga.

In contrast, the Shimadzu family’s territory is generally considered to be insufficient in stone height, but Satsuma has more than 28 stones, Okuma has more than 17 stones, and their home still stands about half of Hinata.

If the territory of the Shimadzu family is not comparable to the ancestral property, then it is better than Kato Kiyomasa and Konishi Yukina who were also entrusted in Kyushu after the Kyushu Conquest.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi ordered Sasa Naruma to commit seppuku after the national servant riot was put down (the inside story of this incident was mentioned earlier in this book), and then he re-divided the territory of Higo Kingdom, except that Kuma County was given to Sagara grew up outside, and the rest of the land was divided between Kato Kiyomasa and Konishi Yukinaga.Specifically: Kato leads 25 shi in the north, and Xiaoxi leads 24 shi in the south.

After thinking about it carefully, Gao Wushi suddenly discovered that there was a reason why the Kuroda family suddenly chose to betray Toyotomi Hideyoshi to vote for him at this point in time.

Kuroda Rushui is Toyotomi Hideyoshi's number one military adviser, and the "Great Return of China" that determines Toyotomi Hideyoshi's aspiration to the world's most important is his proud work.If such a huge contribution is placed in China, it should be regarded as a final contribution, and it shouldn't be overwhelmed by a few generals anyway.

But what about reality?Kiyoshi Kato, who was also sealed in Kyushu, was 25 koku, and Governor Konishi was 24 koku—why!

To use an inappropriate example, this is like after the victory of cutting Yuan, Qi Jiguang was granted the title of Marquis and Gao Pragmatic was granted the title of Uncle.If the emperor really made such an order, why not ask Qi Jiguang first if he dares to accept it.

However, Toyotomi Hideyoshi did just that, so one can imagine what Kuroda Rushui felt like.

It is inevitable that one will feel dissatisfied if he has made great achievements but has not been rewarded.In the past, if he didn't show up, it may not be because he didn't have any grudges in his heart. It may just be that he, as a smart person, knows that it's useless to show up. Instead, he may harm himself and future generations, so he has to take a willing attitude.

However, it is different now, just as Kuroda Nagamasa relayed his words just now, a new general trend of the world has been formed, as "human beings are above wisdom", Kuroda Rushui naturally has to plan for the future of the Kuroda family.

In the original history, Kuroda Rushui's plan was to first achieve three points in the world, and then naturally fight for the world.However, after Kuroda Nagamasa ruined his plan later, Kuroda Rushui knew that the situation was irreversible, and he did not choose to forcibly defy the sky, but accepted the title (his name was to help the Eastern Army, and he happened to only fight the Western Army. The battle of Guanyuan, a few cities of the army, was over), and finally lived in seclusion until his death.

That is to say, Kuroda Rushui is indeed ambitious, but as long as the general situation is irreversible, he will not be stubborn to the end.When he has the opportunity, he dares to be bold, and when there is no opportunity, he can stop in time, so it seems that Kuroda Rushui is indeed a wise man.

"I have already known your father's intention. The name of the Kuroda family will be preserved, and as long as the Kuroda family can be ordered to be loyal in the future, it will naturally not be limited to a mere 14 stone. As for the Shimadzu family, they will be the allies of the Kuroda family And fellow robe... that's all, you can pass on my words to your father."

Gao Pragmatism finally agrees.
