Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1931 Returning to Japan ([-]) [-]% coercion

Before everyone put down their soup bowls, Sancheng carefully sorted out the overall plan in his mind.

He thinks that doing this kills two birds with one stone: on the one hand, he can show his courage to the daimyos—Ieyasu is nothing special; trust, even conviction.

Before Hideyoshi grows up, he can 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 spent, there is nothing to worry about. After all, judging from Ieyasu's age, it should not be more than ten years.

Once the power is returned to Hideyori in the future... Misunari was thinking about this, Masuda Nagamori had put down his chopsticks, and said suspiciously: "His Majesty Jibu, according to your opinion, the Toyotomi clan may not grow long."

"Not long?" San Chengyi didn't understand what Chang Sheng meant.

"I mean, I'm afraid time is running out." Masuda Nagamori repeated what he said just now, looked at Asano and Maeda again, as if he wanted to win the support of the two, and then continued: "I am not talking nonsense In today's situation, if you insist on merging the Tianxia and the Toyotomi family into one, it may lead to a situation where Genpei struggled for hegemony back then. For the world, for each family, and for individuals, the risks are extremely high. so big."

"It makes sense." Maeda Xuanyi seemed to understand Changsheng's meaning, and also expressed his position: "Yes, yes, back then... when the world was lost, the Ping clan also fell along with it—do you mean that? ?”

"Exactly." Masuda Nagamori nodded emphatically, looked at Sancheng and said: "If the world and the Toyotomi Clan are divided into two, even if the authority changes, the Toyotomi Clan's survival will not be a big problem; if they are combined One, then the day when Toyotomi loses power is the day when it falls.

Your Highness Zhibu, this point is very important. No matter how you plan to plan, this point must be carefully considered. This is my humble opinion. What do you think? "

Sancheng was startled at first, then raised his white fan angrily, his face darkened, and he said sullenly: "Your Highness Masuda, in your capacity, don't you feel blushing when you say such words?"

"What the governor said is wrong. The young master is still young, ignorant and ignorant, but you and I should be careful and well-prepared. Your plans and decisions may not necessarily be perfect, but there is a little bit of everything. Important: No major mistakes in any case."

"If you think so, you are playing into the enemy's arms!"

"Are you going too far, Jibu Shaosuke?"

"It's really playing the piano with a cow!" Mitsunari snorted, "Emon, if according to what you said, Tianxia and Toyotomi have nothing to do with each other, then the next Tianxia has already been decided... Don't you understand this?"

"You mean, the world will be handed over to Ieyasu Tokugawa?"

"Do I need to say that? Xiaomu was unable to make him bow his head in a long fight, and finally subdued him with Taige's wrist, which made him call himself number one in the world.

In addition, this time the Taige had entrusted him with all the government affairs before his death... 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 being speechless, paused, and his tone inevitably lost strength: "Then how can you stop Tokugawa?"

"You think, the young master is still young, so the government affairs are handed over to Ieyasu, the left minister, but this is just a stopgap measure. Once the young master becomes an adult, he should respectfully return the power, shouldn't he?"

Sancheng was furious, and his tone seemed to be scolding his subordinates: "If you separate the world from the Toyotomi family from the beginning, then Ieyasu will have the illusion that he controlled the world by relying on his strength, instead of the truth-I am It is said that Taige temporarily handed over the authority 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 Changsheng opened his mouth, Sancheng stopped him sternly: "You seem to have a long-term vision, but the reality is nothing more than fantasy! The current situation is actually extremely critical, and we are never allowed to play by the wind. We must try to make the Toyotomi clan survive without any worries, so we must regard the world and the Toyotomi clan as one!
Our purpose is very simple, that is, when the young master becomes an adult, Tokugawa Ieyasu must respectfully return his authority.If we don't make up our minds at this moment, how will we control the world for the young master in the future?Don't fall for the tricks of the enemy! "

Masuda Nagamori was interrupted by him again and again, and he simply closed his mouth angrily.In his opinion, he and Sancheng could never get together no matter what.

According to Changsheng's thinking, Ieyasu's strength is indeed very strong, and his ability is also very terrifying, but once he accepts him and becomes a colleague, colleague or even friend with him, then he will become unbelievably docile.

Sancheng mentioned the battle of Komaki Nagakute, but compared with the Ieyasu at that time, the Ieyasu after entering Osaka Castle is completely different...

The stubborn Ieyasu once made Taiko helpless, but since dispelling his prejudice against Ieyasu, Changsheng felt that he was as docile and honest as a sheep.

This made Changsheng think of the "Cheongju Alliance" between Nobunaga and Ieyasu, which is a model of friendship in the world and the best footnote of Ieyasu's personal integrity.Whenever Changsheng thought of the Cheongju League, it was hard to think that Ieyasu would be a villain.

In the Warring States Period of Japan, where power was paramount, the so-called friendship, blood relationship, and alliance became the means for the expansion of the Sengoku daimyo.There were many alliances of various kinds in Japan at that time, such as the very famous "Koso Jun Three Kingdoms Alliance" formed by Takeda, Hojo, and Imagawa, and the "Nobi Alliance" between Oda Nobuhide and Saito Dozo, etc. .

However, in 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 may break into your house with a knife at night and declare that they have occupied your city.

However, there is a very special exception among the alliances among Japanese daimyos during the Warring States Period, that is, the "Cheongju Alliance" concluded between Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu, also known as the "Osan Alliance (Owari, Mikawa). Alliance)", "Zhide League".

After Oda Nobunaga signed the alliance with Tokugawa Ieyasu, he never broke the alliance with Tokugawa Ieyasu throughout his life, and Tokugawa Ieyasu did not leave behind and silently guarded the territory of the Oda family during the process of Oda Nobunaga's unification of the world on the east side.

During this period, the most noteworthy event is probably the "Xinkang seppuku incident".According to old stories in the past, Oda Nobunaga was jealous of the talents of Ieyasu's eldest son, Tokugawa Nobuyasu, and asked Tokugawa Ieyasu to execute his son on the pretext that Tokugawa Nobuyasu knew the Takeda family.

However, according to the excavation of historical materials by later generations of Japanese, Tokugawa Ieyasu and Tokugawa Nobuyasu actually had grievances and grievances between the father and son. Not only did Oda Nobunaga not intervene in this matter, but he was still a "notified" guy—— ——Because Tokugawa Nobuyasu is the son-in-law of Oda Nobunaga, if Ieyasu disposes of Tokugawa Nobuyasu at will, it means breaking the Cheongju Alliance.

For example, Takeda Yoshinobu, the son-in-law of Takeda Shingen under house arrest, is the son-in-law of Imagawa Yoshimoto. After Takeda Yoshinobu lost power, the Takeda family broke the alliance with the Imagawa family.

It is precisely because of this that Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was worried about causing Nobunaga's suspicion, sent his retainer Sakai Chuji to Azuchi Castle to explain to Oda Nobunaga why Tokugawa Nobuyasu was under house arrest.Oda Nobunaga was also more magnanimous, and immediately stated that this is a private matter of the Tokugawa family, and Tokugawa Ieyasu can handle it himself.

That is to say, the death of Nobuyasu was actually entirely written by Tokugawa Ieyasu himself, and after the establishment of the Edo Shogunate, Tokugawa Ieyasu changed his Miao character from "Tokugawa" back to family status in order to belittle the status of this son-in-law Lower "pine flat".

Pulling away, say it again.Ieyasu puts so much value on Nobunaga's promise, can it be called a promise?The ancients said that "you don't care about your mind when you talk about deeds", which means don't look at what a person says, but look at how he does it.

How did Ieyasu do it?Even if Hideyoshi defeated Mitsuhide Akechi in the "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 foundation, but insisted on assisting Nobunaga's son Oda Nobuo Confrontation with Hideyoshi—and because of this, the battle of Komaki Nagakute broke out.

All of these are honesty and loyalty in the eyes of the world, and he has become a model of loyalty praised by later generations of Japanese.

As for the "Ieyasu who came to Osaka" in Changsheng's mind, this is indeed what Masuda Changsheng still remembers.

Ieyasu's first visit to Osaka Castle was 14 years after the 1586th year of Tensho (12). This period was really eventful.Needless to say, the Korean War, which is still going on to this day, Rikyu lay hara-kiri, Kanbai Hideji committed suicide, negotiated peace with Da Ming, and after the peace negotiation broke down, Sancheng and Konishi were punished...

No matter what happened, Ieyasu handled it with a sense of proportion.Every time, Ieyasu would try to save as many lives as possible, and the number of people he rescued was already large. To put it bluntly, if Ieyasu hadn't rescued them, many people would have been ordered to have their seppuku by Taige.

Even when the peace talks broke down, even Sancheng was favored by Ieyasu.It is precisely because Ieyasu is such a truly respected person in Changsheng's mind that Changsheng believes that he should abandon hostility and express goodwill to him.

Of course, Tokugawa Ieyasu was once a brave general who made his enemies fearful, but now he is the regent appointed by the late Taiko, and his granddaughter Chihime is married to the young master Hideyori.If you abandon the hostility and get close to him, let alone the young master, when it comes to the descendants of the young master and Chihime, Ieyasu's blood will also directly become the master of Toyotomi!Why should he commit more crimes?
Instead of being hostile to Ieyasu, it is better to gradually approach and let the two become one.This is what Changsheng meant. It's a pity that although Changsheng has been thinking this way, how can [-]% accept it?

At this moment, Sancheng said again: "His Masuda seems to trust Ieyasu very much." He squinted his eyes, as if he could see through Changsheng'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.

"I didn't mean to scare you. In fact, Ieyasu has calmly calculated from the very beginning. He is very clear about His Majesty's age, physical weakness, and lack of blood.

It was to win the world that he pretended to be so docile.But now, we just need to give this old fox a chance to show his true nature—I don't believe we can't expose his true face. "

Thirty percent of the threats are mixed with ridicule: "Our opponent is an old fox who has gone through hardships and has great powers. We must not be fascinated by him. The amulet to prevent being fascinated by him is to regard Tianxia and Toyotomi as one .

Once we discard this talisman, the world will be torn apart immediately, and he will also develop evil intentions accordingly.For the survival of the Toyotomi family, we must resolutely oppose Ieyasu's rule of the world on behalf of the Toyotomi family. "

Speaking of this, Changsheng was speechless.If he continued to refute, he might be falsely accused by Sancheng of having an affair with Jiakang—Changsheng knew very well that Sancheng knew this well.

At this time, Asano Nagamasa turned to Misunari, and said: "I think what Dr. Youemon said is reasonable. We are so hostile to Zuofu, it is tantamount to nitpicking, after all, Taiko has decided everything before his death. As ministers, we must What I did was to follow Taige's last words and try my best to avoid chaos."

As soon as Changzheng finished speaking, Sancheng snorted: "That's right, Taige did have a last word. The young master is still young, and before Yuanfu (adult), he had to temporarily hand over the authority to Jiayasu... But if we don't understand it that way, Things are still undecided.”

"Could it be that His Highness Jibu is suspicious of something?" Asano Nagamasa couldn't help frowning, and his eyes were a little unfriendly.

"If I think Taige's last words are just the gibberish of an old man fainted by illness, then what should I do? Moreover, in fact, there are people who hold such a skeptical attitude. This person is not someone else, nor me, but It is Mrs. Beizhengsuo! His Highness Asano has absolutely nothing to do with Beizhengsuo, you have to be careful about this matter."

When San Cheng said this, Chang Zheng had no choice but to shut up.With such a strong wording, Changzheng felt that Sancheng was suspicious, and it was he who made Beizheng have such an idea.

In order to break the stalemate that was about to explode, Maeda Xuanyi interjected: "I think it's getting late, Master Mushi is still waiting, let's move on to the next step."

Hearing Xuan Yi's persuasion, San Chengcai muttered while raising his chopsticks.The carp soup was already cold at this moment, and the four of them began to eat carp with their own thoughts.

Not long after, Sancheng smiled wryly and said, "The key lies in whether we are united. As long as we are united, what is there to be afraid of like Ieyasu?"

Thirty percent of the people who kept inciting the crowd until they became fearful, and [-]% of the people who comforted them the other way around!It's ironic that Tokugawa Ieyasu has such a great deterrent in his heart in Shibushō (Nagasuka Masakaya is not in Fushimi, but in Osaka)!

"Okay, now our goal is clear. Therefore, after the Taige's secret burial today, we will invite all the elders tomorrow to discuss the matter of withdrawing troops - everyone, the matter of withdrawing troops is the most important thing at present. "

"The secret burial of the Taige without telling the elders was also entrusted by the Taige on his deathbed. Everyone must pay attention to this matter, and must not let it slip." At this point, Sancheng felt that everyone was forcibly tied together by him.And his self-confidence all the time made him feel that since he warned repeatedly, everyone would be wary of Ieyasu.

"Okay, the carp soup is also finished. The next thing we need to do is to clearly and clearly declare our loyalty to the Taige to the world."

Sancheng gulped down the carp soup, raised his right arm as if joking and showed it to everyone, and said: "Look, Sancheng's thin arm is already full of the strength to never shrink back and protect Toyotomi forever!"

The other three silently put the soup bowl aside, noncommittal.They don't seem to think that such an arm can have the so-called "never shrink back and protect Toyotomi's power forever."
