Chapter 185 Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Death Is Coming Soon
No one knows what Toyotomi Hideyoshi said when he summoned Toyotomi Hideji. The guards outside could only hear a faint roar coming from the hall, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi's retainers noticed that when Toyotomi Hideji came back, With a lifeless and disheartened look, it seems that he has encountered a very big blow, which makes Toyotomi Hideji's retainers worried.

One night passed, and early the next morning, Toyotomi Hideji announced that everyone packed up and left here to return to the capital.

Faced with such a change, everyone seemed quite surprised. They don't know why His Highness Guanbai, who was still high-spirited before, has become like this now. They don't know what caused it. Toyotomi Hideji is not the same None explained.

This happened five days before Chen Lin led the navy to shell the Japanese mainland.

The fact that Toyotomi Hideji left Nagoya and returned to the capital also caused quite a shock in the circle of Dongguo daimyos. Although it is indeed a good thing that Toyotomi Hideji, who brought them a lot of pressure, got out, but they did not I know what's going on. I heard that Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Toyotomi Hideji have a very good relationship. Why did it suddenly become like this?

When you left, you lost your mind, as if you were driven away?
Nagoya Castle, which had not stabilized for a long time, became impetuous again.

After that, Toyotomi Hideyoshi supported his sick body and ordered a meeting to be held. At the meeting, it was announced that the Korean Conquest Army had won an unprecedented victory and had already invaded the territory of the Ming Kingdom. However, due to the huge size of the Ming Kingdom, they needed reinforcements. We plan to send Tokugawa Ieyasu to lead the [-] Eastern Army across the sea to support the Korean conquest army, and attack the Ming Dynasty together. After winning, everyone's territory will be doubled by ten times!
When they heard this order, Tokugawa Ieyasu and others all had a question in their heads——Are you sick, Mr. Toyotomi Hideyoshi?
The startled feudal princes of the Eastern Kingdom spoke one after another, one said there was not enough food and grass, the other said that there was not enough ordnance, this one said that the army was not acclimatized and was sick, and the other said that he was not in good health and needed to recuperate. .

Seeing that Toyotomi Hideyoshi was unmoved and wanted to forcibly go against the sky, Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded very quietly, expressing that he understood, and when he returned, he would rectify the army and prepare to attack across the sea. Toyotomi Hideyoshi was overjoyed and immediately appointed Tokugawa Ie-kang is the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Army, leading an Eastern Army of [-] troops, who will cross the sea to attack after seven days. He will arrange ships to send the Eastern Army to sea.

Tokugawa Ieyasu calmly left Nagoya and returned to his home, and then the Dongguo daimyos quarreled.

In the face of these noisy daimyos, Tokugawa Ieyasu directly announced that the day before the day of dispatching troops is the day we will start. The time we have been waiting for for a long time has finally arrived.

The daimyos were puzzled.

The next day, the news came from the Nagoya that Toshiie Maeda had been transferred back to the capital by Toyotomi Hideyoshi to supervise the food and grass. I didn't say it clearly, but I just asked everyone to prepare carefully and not leak the news.

In fact, Tokugawa Ieyasu was also beating drums in his heart, so he turned around and invited Kuroda Rusui here. All his confidence came from the famous military adviser Kuroda Rusui. If Kuroda Rusui did not have the confidence to let him do this, he would He didn't have the confidence to say this, Kuroda Rusui had always been very mysterious in his heart, and it was the trick that Toyotomi Hideyoshi relied on to dominate, and now this trick was with him, which greatly increased Tokugawa Ieyasu's confidence.

What Toyotomi Hideyoshi did was indeed as crazy as Kuroda Rusui's guess.

"So, Mr. Kanbei, can we really do it?"

Tokugawa Ieyasu personally poured tea for Kuroda Rushui.

"Believe me, everything is under my control. In a few days, Toyotomi Hideyoshi will die."

There was a frightening light in Kuroda Rushui's eyes.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi's death is indeed approaching, but it is not under the control of Kuroda Rushui. Facts have proved that Kuroda Rushui failed to implement his oath.

Chen Lin led the main force of the Daming Navy all the way to the direction of the mainland of Japan. Xuansu played the glorious role of the leading party for the first time, guiding the sea road for the Daming Navy. Xuansu is familiar with this road, and I don’t know No matter how many times he walked, he knew how to avoid those small islands, go straight to the mainland of Japan, and the majestic, tall and wide Nagoya Castle that can be seen from the seaside.

According to Xuansu, Nagoya Castle is the residence of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and also the headquarters of the Japanese army. If the Daming Navy can bombard Nagoya Castle, even if they can’t hit it, it’s just in other places, it will be a huge threat to the whole of Japan. What a huge shock it would be?
What an honor it would be if another army landed and pretended to attack Nagoya?

Although the generals of the Ming army did not regard Japan as a strong enemy in their hearts, they just regarded Japan as a clown, just like the Yelang Kingdom in the Han Dynasty.

After all, under the command of Xiao Ruxun, they wiped out [-] Japanese troops in one month, and the remaining tens of thousands hid in the tortoise shells and lingered, without any strong combat power at all. If in another time and space, the Ming army It was indeed not easy to win, which is why the saying "even if strong will be killed", but Xiao Ruxun directly beat the Japanese army to the ground after careful preparation, which allowed the Ming army to easily establish a sense of superiority as the army of the celestial kingdom.

How do you make them think highly of these enemies?Of course, their iron cannons are indeed good. The generals of the Ming army admitted that many of their firearms troops are equipped with iron cannons, but it is hard to say about the others.

This is not the Xiongnu's Langjuxu mountain. It is so glorious that it was defeated. It may have shocked Japan very much, but for the Ming army, it is really nothing. Su Hao looked at it, and just asked him to lead the way honestly, and asked him some questions about Japan that Chen Lin was somewhat interested in.

"Ben will hear that your country of Japan has an emperor, right?"

"Officially, the emperor of Japan is called the Emperor."

"Emperor? Your Majesty is still called the Son of Heaven, but your emperor is quite arrogant. No wonder he is so overconfident!" Chen Lin frowned, and then sneered: "It is a small country that dares to call itself Emperor. I want you to go to the title of emperor! I am a great country in my country, and the kingdom of heaven, only my majesty can be the emperor, and the rest can only be called kings. How can you call yourself an emperor in such a small country?"

"Don't dare! Don't dare!"

Xuansu bowed his head repeatedly like a grandson: "Don't dare to be called emperor, don't dare to be called emperor."

Chen Lin sneered and said: "But you are not completely worthless. Where did you learn that iron gun? It is indeed good. It is better than Daming's bird gun. It was developed by you independently, or you learned from Fran Robot?"

"That was learned by the craftsmen of our country when the Fran robot came to our country to do business with us decades ago. After modification, the guns that can be remade are better than the guns brought by the Fran robot, so it was installed. It's pretty common in Japan."

"Oh, I also learned from Frangji." Chen Lin nodded: "These red-haired barbarians are really not simple. The navy and firearms are more sophisticated than Daming. If Admiral Xiao hadn't mentioned it, they would have survived Believe it or not, Da Ming also fought against the Franji people in the early years, these red-haired barbarians are not only barbaric, but also have excellent firearms, if Da Ming does not catch up, it may cause disaster for future generations."

"No, no, the Kingdom of Heaven, how can a small barbarian country challenge it?"

Xuansu quickly flattered him.
