"What Youfu liked to talk about most back then was 'Fifty years of life are like a dream and an illusion'. Your Highness, please remember..." The lady still leaned towards her husband calmly, and she sighed softly: "In the end, Taige It only takes ten more years to be free from illness and disaster. How can we be stronger than Tai Ge?
In the end, Taige worked hard for the ignorant young master. His Highness took over the responsibility of guardian for Taige's entrustment. But Your Highness, considering his age, if he really has to do this well, I'm afraid the real key is to consider how to do it well. Arrangements for our own children...what do you say? "
"You seem to be saying that I won't live much longer." Li Jia laughed and shook his head: "You are the only one who dares to say such things... Well, you mean that I only care about the young master, even the young master. Have you forgotten your own children?"
"Yes, but it's not just that." The lady nodded happily and said, "Your Highness, the current situation is like an egg on the tip of a knife. If you make a slight mistake, either the egg will fall to the ground and break, or the egg will be broken. Punctured, in short, dangerous.
So, if there is a slight mistake in your arrangement, something unexpected happens to Toshinaga, Tosumasa and others, and you are already old and will go to bliss in the near future. What will the young master do then? Who will take care of him? "
The lady showed a smile that was either comforting or worrying, and said: "As a mother, I can't help but say, if the Maeda clan had been defeated before the Toyotomi clan's accident, then what's the point of your current responsibilities? Everything will be ruined." It turns into nothing. Therefore, I ask Your Highness not to force it, so as not to let the innocent children suffer..."
"Osomatsu, do you think there is something wrong with my approach and are you worried that the Maeda clan is in danger of collapse?"
"I really dare not say it."
"Just say, after so many years, your opinions are often very reasonable." The Li family became serious and stared at Mrs. Asong: "You just said that the current situation is like an egg on the tip of a knife. What does this mean? What? Are you saying that my arrangement is too forced and the children may be in trouble in the future? "
"No, that is a warning to His Highness. But Your Highness, what is the thing that you should think about most right now?"
"what you think?"
After all, they have been husband and wife for many years. After a long period of time, they both know each other's ins and outs. Li Jia asked seriously, and the lady's brows relaxed, and she sighed softly: "Your Highness, the most important thing is peace in the world. In any case, unifying the world and creating a peaceful and prosperous era is the lifelong ambition of Youfu and Taige. , is also a great undertaking that they have worked hard for." Although the lady's voice sounded calm, her eyes were very sharp.
"It makes sense." Toshiya considered his wife's words carefully, nodded and said, "If the world can maintain peace, the Maeda clan will be safe, and the young master will naturally be fine."
"Exactly. It sounds very clear, but isn't this what Your Highness is unclear about? Your Highness accuses others of having ulterior motives at will, and often decides things in anger, but once you light a fire, it will not only be your enemies who will be burned. ah……
Once the Maeda is damaged, the Toyotomi clan will never be safe, so please be patient and calm. If there is any discord between the Zhibu and Zuofu, it will not be too late for you to come forward to mediate. In short, it is enough for Maeda to stabilize himself, and he must not force himself to do anything.
The current situation is delicate. No matter what happens to any child of the Maeda family, it will seriously weaken our family's strength and lead to chaos in the world, which is against the wishes of the Youfu and Taige. "The wife finally poured out her heart to her husband.
Lijia closed his eyes and listened, carefully recalling every word and sentence of his wife.
"Oh, I was so busy talking that I even forgot to bring the tea..." With that, the lady got up and left.
"Wait." The Toshi family stopped his wife and suddenly said firmly: "Osomatsu, let's take what you just said as the family motto of the Maeda clan."
"Ah, what did Your Highness say?"
"At all times, the Maeda family must strive for peace in the world. To this end, we must preserve our strength and never act rashly."
"This is the best thing. If this concept can be deeply rooted in the hearts of future generations, the Maeda sect will continue to prosper."
"Well said, I think this is the experience of the best warrior in the world. Okay, go get some tea."
"Let's go now." Madam stood up and went out excitedly. Just at this moment, Li Chang walked in: "Father, how are you?"
Lijia replied casually: "Well... I can't say it's good, but it's not too bad."
"Asano Yukicho just came back, and I saw him in the city."
"Oh, are you okay, Dr. Sakyo?"
Toshinaga frowned slightly and said, "I heard there was a dispute over in Hakata."
"with who?"
"Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accountant Kato. Moreover, the dispute continued to escalate after the incident. Now President Konishi has gone to Gobo and sued Kato and Asano."
Li Jia frowned and said in a dissatisfied tone: "As soon as we came back, there was a dispute?"
"It seems that it will not be easy to calm down this time. Both sides are tit-for-tat and refuse to give in to each other."
"What was the reason for the dispute?"
"It is said that His Highness Konishi was holding him back during the withdrawal of troops. Kato insisted on fighting for victory and even brought up Konishi's previous scandals. Konishi said that it was not Kato who saved him, but Shimazu Yoshihiro... In short, the two sides became more and more troubled. Da, it seems that we are really in trouble this time."
"Li Chang, listen - you must never get involved in such a dispute."
"The child is not a child, and the mother has already taught him."
Just as Toshiya was about to speak, Toshisa's younger brother, Toshimasa, ran in panting. Toshimasa is only twenty-one this year, and he looks very brave, just like the young Maeda Inu Chiyo. He gave his brother a gentle salute and suddenly grinned.
"Yizheng, why are you laughing? My father is currently ill."
"Hahahaha, father, the young assistant of the Ministry of Administration is on his way to our house."
"The administration wants to come here? What's so funny about that!" Li Jia deliberately lowered his face and scolded: "I'd better learn from your brother and don't always be so rash."
However, Toshimasa couldn't help but laugh: "Father, I heard that the Minister of Administrative Affairs bought a beautiful woman from the Fireworks Willow Lane in Hakata who will conquer the entire country!"
"Beauty?" Li Jia frowned slightly and began to think about the possible reasons. However, he ignored that children of Li Zheng's age were not thinking at the same level as him.
"The serious Harubu Shaosuke turned out to be... hahahaha, now it has caused a stir in the whole city. I heard that this woman got along well with Dr. Asano Sakyo and Nabeshima Katsushige in Yanagi Town. Harubu Shaosuke has become a child again this time. , It seems that he wants to compete with the young samurai. Oh, by the way, I heard that Mrs. Yodo mentioned this. Hahaha..."
"I don't think there's anything funny." Before his father could speak, Li Chang said with a straight face.
"The fun is yet to come, brother. Since Jibu dares to bring the young woman back, it shows that he has courage. Isn't this interesting?"
Li Chang secretly glanced at his father, and when he saw that the Li family looked very interested, he obediently shut up.
"The young assistant of the administrative department first finds a beautiful woman, and then plans to recommend a beautiful woman to his father - that's what Mrs. Yodo said."
"Huh?" Li Chang was stunned for a moment.
"That's why it's interesting. Brother, what kind of woman do you think Shao Fu would recommend to my father?"
"Li Zheng, be careful what you say. You are too frivolous."
"Brother, you are wrong. I heard rumors that Mrs. Yodo laughed and said that the young assistant in charge wanted to recommend her to her father. If this is true, there may be nothing more ridiculous in the world. Hahaha."
Maeda Dainagon Toshiie finally couldn't help but darken his face again this time: "Be careful what you say, Toshimasa!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he coughed slightly, and Mrs. Asong walked in with tea. Li Zheng quietly suppressed his smile and patted his father's back.
At this time, a figure appeared outside the partition, it was Fu Po University, a close confidant of the Lee family.
"Your Highness, Ishida Harubu's assistant is here to visit."
"Sure enough, it's here." Li Zheng laughed mischievously.
"You are too presumptuous, Li Zheng!" Li Jia scolded lightly and straightened his clothes. In the past, no matter who came, the Li family would always wear formal clothes and meet them in the hall, but today it seemed a little unusual.
"I am ill, so I have to be rude. You can bring him here." Li Jia felt unhappy in his heart, but he pretended to be nonchalant on his face. He was no longer the "Gun Zhi Ma Zuo" who laughed and cursed sincerely when he was young. .
"Li Chang, Li Zheng, please step aside. He may have come to discuss with me the move of Osaka City for the young master." The Li family shouted back their two sons, tried their best to suppress their coughs, and waited for Sancheng.
After Sancheng came in, he saluted respectfully and said hello: "I just took the wrong road in the city, and now I'm late in coming. How is your highness's health?"
"It's nothing serious. It's just due to old age."
"His Highness looks much better than San Cheng expected, so San Cheng can rest assured. For the sake of the Toyotomi clan and the world, please take good care of Your Highness." San Cheng said respectfully: "Your Highness must have heard about it - the Zuofu has already taken action. ”
"Zuofu?"
"So His Highness doesn't know yet? He is finally going to reveal his long-hidden claws." Mitsunari looked quite calm, with a solemn face, and said coldly: "I heard that while I was away, he visited Nagaso Gabu Nomura, Shinjo Naoyori, Shimazu Yoshihisa, Hosokawa Yusai Totaka and others... The Hosokawa family and your family are relatives, and Sancheng thought that His Highness had heard about it."
"I don't know anything about what you said. Zhibu, are you saying that Zuofu did something inappropriate?"
"Yes, it is indeed unforgivable... According to Sancheng, he is ruthlessly trampling on His Highness the Taige's legacy and law."
"oh?"
"Does His Highness not know any news?" Sancheng looked very surprised and said: "What he did is really intolerable! Previously, the Taige had ordered that the marriage of all the famous people must be approved by the Taige. The cabinet allowed it. However, he trampled on the Taikaku's orders and continued to secretly marry Yonda Masamune, Fukushima Masanori, Hachisuka Kasei and others."
"Well?"
"Thirty percent is not a lie. We have sent people to investigate carefully, and the evidence is conclusive. Your Highness, Taige's funeral has not yet been held, but he is acting so unscrupulously. If we just sit back and do nothing, how can we explain to the world?"
The Li family concentrated silently and did not speak for a long time. Maybe Ieyasu could really do this kind of thing... But then I thought about it, what would be the consequences if I had the rashness to accuse Ieyasu? Before taking action, you must have a sound plan.
Now that Taiko has passed away, all government affairs have been handed over to Ieyasu. In this way, after Taikaku's death, does it mean that the daimyo's marriages should first obtain Ieyasu's permission? Presumably Jiakang would retort like this.
Seeing Li Jia's silence, Sancheng quietly moved forward. "Of course, we try not to make the matter a stalemate. But if we ignore it, His Highness Taige's decree will be completely destroyed sooner or later. How will His Highness's face be saved at this time? The young master is in name only, and naturally we can't explain it to Taige."
At this point, Mitsunari emphasized his tone: "He wants to welcome the daughter of Yonda Masamune as his sixth son Tadaki's main wife. Needless to say, this is naturally to contain the Uesugi family.
He also married the daughter of his half-brother Yasumoto Hisamatsu to Tadakatsu, the heir of Fukushima Masanori, as an adopted daughter, and married the daughter of his grandson-in-law Hidemasa Ogasawara to the legitimate son of Hachisuka Kasei.
In addition, he seems to be actively seeking a marriage with Kato Kiyomasa... He is trying to split the group of military commanders who have followed His Highness Taiko since childhood, whether it is Fukushima, Hachisuka, or Kato. Your Highness, I don’t think they know what kind of person Zuofu is, but the matter has come to this..."
"Your Majesty, this matter is not a trivial matter and must be considered carefully and carefully."
"What His Highness said is absolutely true. We must not sit idly by and ignore it." The two people had fundamentally different opinions, but their Japanese was always ambiguous. Ishida Mitsunari's words clearly pulled Maeda Toshiie into a trap.
However, Maeda Toshiie is not a fool, and he really can't do this little trick in front of him.
"But once we raise this matter rashly, the people on the other side can say that Taige has passed away and entrusted all government affairs to Zuofu... Once we can't refute him, it will be disadvantageous to us, and I'm afraid they will move It's a stone that hits oneself in the foot. So, we must find another way."
Toshiya stared hard at Mitsunari's eyes, as sharp as the tip of the spear in "Gun Matazu" when he was young: "Those generals who have followed Taiko since childhood deliberately want to marry Ieyasu. What is the reason? I think this is more It’s worthy of our careful consideration.”
"Does His Highness think that they took the initiative to approach Zuofu out of resentment towards Sancheng?"
"If this is really the case, how do you want to deal with it?" The loyal elder Toshiie Maeda has recently learned to be sarcastic: "But in the end, we are just guessing, maybe they want to seek the young master An Tai by approaching Zuofu."
"oh?"
"Perhaps they think that you are more dangerous to the Toyotomi clan than the Zuofu, and your presence makes them dare not be careless."
After hearing this, Sancheng's face suddenly turned red. He suddenly raised his head and stared at Li Jia. He never expected that such bitter sarcasm would come from the mouth of the always kind-hearted Maeda Dainan.
"I also heard that both President Konishi, Kato, and Asano are accusing each other of inappropriate actions in the Korean battlefield. If this continues, more surprising things may happen one after another. Therefore, I think this matter It must be handled with caution.”
As soon as Li Jia said this, Sancheng's shoulders suddenly shook violently, and he actually cried.
"Does it mean that... Da Nayan also thinks that Sancheng... is that kind of person?"
Li Jia shut up. Based on his experience in seeing people, Sancheng's crying seemed not to be fake, but at this point, he couldn't find anything to comfort Sancheng, so he could only wait for the other party to calm down on his own.
"This is so surprising to Sanzheng. The Toyotomi clan comes first, and the young master is the most important. This has always been Sanzheng's idea. Other than that, there are absolutely no selfish thoughts. But I didn't expect the result to be like this..."
Sancheng looked full of grievances, and it was not impossible for the Lee family to understand his thoughts. But why are the veterans in front of Taige's account so disgusted? Li Jia felt that it was necessary to use this to make him reflect.
Military generals like people who are upright, simple and straightforward. If you are straightforward and communicate with them openly, they will naturally get closer to you. But Sancheng's approach has always been the opposite. He is always somewhat resistant to the bold and unruly style. In the eyes of the military generals, Sancheng was completely a man who used power to bully others. He usually relied on his power to prevent the generals from approaching Taige...
The Li family knew very well: both sides were jealous of each other. The fight between them led to the tragedy of Shuji Sekiba, and now Konishi and Kato are at loggerheads. Originally, the territories of Kato Kiyomasa and Konishi Yukinaga were adjacent, so friction was most likely to occur. President Konishi supports Mrs. Yodo, while Kato Kiyomasa supports the Hokkaido Government Office. Coupled with all the prejudices and speculations in the world, there is even greater disharmony between them.
After Sancheng's emotions gradually calmed down, Li Jia just said slowly: "Your Highness Zhibu, I don't think anyone in the world doubts your sincerity. You only think about Taige's favor to you, and you only think about the future of the young master. But...the generals are still very disgusted with you. Think about it, could the reason lie elsewhere?"
"There are many inadequacies in Sancheng."
"It's best if you know. Of course you are also worried about the Toyotomi clan, but you also have to believe that the generals are no less loyal to the young master than you are. They are loyal to Taige, and naturally they are also loyal to the young master. So you have to think about whether your usual approach is a bit too much? For example, is it too arbitrary?"
"Your Highness, I am deeply surprised." Sancheng's shoulders trembled violently again, and he said as if he was holding back his emotions: "Sancheng is here today to complain to Da Najib about Zuofu's misdeeds, and he is here to sincerely listen to Da Najib. Yan’s opinion. For the sake of the Toyotomi clan, Mitsunari will not sit idly by and ignore any actions that harm the future of the Toyotomi clan. But His Highness just blames Mitsunari... It seems that Mitsunari is indeed misbehaving."
These words obviously meant to be angry. Maeda Toshiie shook his head slightly: "Your Highness Jibu, it seems that you don't care at all about what I just said."
"Da Na Yan misunderstood."
"I'll stop talking and tell you my opinion directly. I wonder if you have ever thought about it. Except for Yin Da, the people you mentioned just now are all playmates and even friends you have known since childhood."
"That's why Sancheng was anxious and aggrieved."
"Don't be impatient. Why can't you calm down and ask your former friends for their opinions? If they discovered your fault from the beginning and didn't point it out, then as friends, they are not loyal enough. I, the Li family, don't like you. The reason may be this." Although Li Jia's voice sounded very peaceful, his tone was colder than Qiu Shuang.
Sancheng stared at Lijia with eyes wide open. He originally planned to anger Toshiie first, and then condemn Ieyasu together, taking the opportunity to let Toshiie mediate the increasingly tense relationship between him and Kato. But he never expected that Li Jia would criticize him so bluntly and severely.
Li Jia does not belong to any faction. He always remains neutral. This is 30% clear. If we must say which faction Li Jia belongs to, then he is the "Taiko faction".
Therefore, if he still insists on treating Ieyasu as his enemy, then there is only one person who has the ability to consolidate and unite the Toyotomi clan, and that is Maeda Toshiie. However, Li Jia's words today are like driving Sancheng into the abyss of despair.
"Do you understand?" Li Jia said again: "It's not time for me to ask Zuofu whether he has taken care of himself. What you have to do now is to confirm whether the rumors are true. You have to treat each other with courtesy and ask questions sincerely. They, think of countermeasures after they are sure, this is the right way to deal with people. If you really think about the Toyotomi clan, you should do your best and act in an orderly manner."
After saying these words, 30% of his lips trembled, and for a moment he couldn't even speak. He did make a mistake. According to his plan, he must first mobilize the Toshi family, and then quietly blame Yinda, condemn Fukushima, reprimand Hachisuka... If such true thoughts were revealed, Maeda Danagon's face would look like I'm afraid it will be uglier than it is now, and he will be reprimanded more severely.
However, Sancheng must not give up so easily. The withdrawal of troops caused the generals to turn against each other. Konishi and Kato blamed each other, and all parties wanted to take the opportunity to show off. Previously, he had always firmly believed that the Shimazu family was loyal to Taige and himself, but recently he seemed to be wavering...
Should he pretend to obey the Li family and go back, or should he simply persuade the Li family with the Dao Dao? If he adopts the former approach, Toshiya will definitely ask him to put Yinda aside first and secretly summon Fukushima, Hachisuka, Kato and others to understand the situation before talking about it. However, the generals will definitely express their resentment towards Sanzheng, and the situation will worsen.
Sancheng was driven away by Li Jia's righteous words and had no way to go, and finally made a decision.
"Everything His Highness said is reasonable. But... I wonder if Mitsunari didn't speak clearly. I always think His Highness's judgment is biased." Once he made a decision, Ishida Mitsunari became an amazing eloquent person.
"oh?"
"Sancheng is very clear about what those people who flatter Zuofu want to say." Sancheng pretended to be aggrieved and retorted: "Sancheng never thinks that the loyalty of those generals who have followed Taige since childhood will be inferior to mine. Today, I just want to tell His Highness that Zuofu is too cunning and cunning."
Once you speak, Sancheng will no longer hesitate. At this time, it is a competition between the confidence and eloquence of both parties. Will Sancheng win with confidence, or will Li Jia gain the upper hand with maturity and sophistication?
"Masamune Yin also pretended to be nonchalant. In fact, I have already asked Munakaru Imai from Jie Port to pass the message, but the result is still unclear."
"Have you already gone to investigate?"
"Of course, I acted in secret. I didn't find out clearly... Sanzheng was afraid that this would reach the ears of Dai Yan, and he would blame me for not thinking carefully. However, His Highness's guess seems to be right. Fukushima Masanori said that marriage The matter was not brought up by the Zuofu, but they took the initiative for the sake of the young master Hideyori."
"Hey, what did Hachisuka say?"
"Haizuka said that Zhizhen was young and only obeyed Zuofu's orders. He had no choice but to agree. The more Sancheng asked, the more divergent their explanations became. In the end, no one understood the point at all.
Of course, this was all instigated by Zuofu behind his back. But if we let this go, Toyotomi's decree will become a piece of useless paper. Therefore, Sancheng thought that this was a move that the wily Zuofu had made long ago to pave the way for his future. Now the upright generals have fallen into his trap. If you ask now, I'm afraid it's too late. "
Li Jia shook his head and sighed: "Have you even gone through this step?"
"Can Sanzheng just watch them cook raw rice into cooked rice? Danayan, Sanzheng is begging you. Sanzheng also feels that this matter is very inappropriate. However, once Zuofu is allowed to do whatever he wants, the consequences are really unpredictable. Danayan Yan, please help Sancheng no matter what! If Your Highness is worried about Sancheng’s relationship with the generals, in the future..."
Sancheng said excitedly and fell on the ground respectfully: "Sancheng didn't mean to ask Danayan to immediately go and question the Zuofu. All the ministers and elders also knew about this, so they asked Danayan to come up with an idea. . Otherwise, all the great names in the world will be controlled by Zuofu, and uncontrollable civil strife may occur at any time.
His Highness Da Nayan, Sancheng feels that only Da Nayan is the one who supports the young master from the bottom of his heart, so even though he knows it is against His Highness’s wishes, he still stubbornly requests His Highness..."
Lijia was silent with a bitter look on his face, and 30% of his eloquence left him speechless.
"Asong, decoction..." After closing his eyes and thinking for a long time, Lijia coughed as if asking for help and called his wife. If Sancheng is forced to be sent away, who knows what this person will do... When he was young, Li Jia was a stubborn person who refused to give in to anyone. But faced with such a persistent Sancheng, he was helpless.
Li Jia was still thinking while holding the decoction. No chaos is allowed to happen now. Just as Mrs. Asatsu used the analogy before, the current situation is like an egg on the tip of a knife. As long as there is a slight mistake in decision-making and a disturbance occurs, the foundation of the Toyotomi family will be shaken or even collapse on its own.
The young master, Hideyori, is ignorant and young. No matter how strong they are, whether they are Hokusei Office or Mrs. Yodo, they are all women. Now the only person who can do anything in the Toyotomi family is really the sickly Maeda Dainagon. A miserable old man.
"Oh, you have inquired this far?" Li Jia held the decoction in his hand and sighed: "Then I can't ignore it."
Sancheng's face showed joy: "Danayan promised Sancheng?"
"I'm doing it for the Toyotomi clan and for the young master." Toshiya glanced at his wife quickly and continued: "But before the young master moves to Osaka, we must not mess up the matter."
"What should we do?"
"We must think carefully. If this causes a riot in Fushimi, what will the young master do? Therefore, the young master must be moved to Osaka early in the first month and then deal with the matter."
"Your Highness Mingjian..." Sancheng was about to say something immediately.
"Of course, we must quietly ask Zuofu to accompany us when we move. After we have secured Osaka, we can then negotiate with them." After saying that, Li Jia gently closed his eyes.
Thirty percent hesitate to speak. Toshiya did not agree to go immediately to question Ieyasu, which shows that he is very dissatisfied now. But Sancheng also knew not to annoy Li Jia anymore. After all, Li Jia's words were reasonable and extremely stable, which could be said to be a foolproof move.
Sancheng can guess what the Toshiyori family plans to do: first let Mr. Hideyori move into Osaka Castle, and then the Toshiyori family will definitely order Toshinaga to mobilize a considerable number of troops to station in Osaka to protect Hideyori nearby. Otherwise, if there is no strength as a basis, Ieyasu will not even look at it. .
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
"So before that..." As soon as Sancheng spoke, Toshiya coughed again and said: "This matter must not be leaked. Once Zuofu becomes suspicious and does not want to go to Osaka, it will be a serious matter. So regarding this matter , you must go all out and never make a single mistake.”
"Thirty percent understand."
"Then, please forgive me for being rude...the doctor is coming for consultation soon." In fact, it was quite painful for Li Jia to even stand up at this time. It became increasingly cold in the afternoon, and the north wind was biting, as if it was going to snow.
"Your Highness is ill, and Sancheng has been bothering you for so long. I really feel sorry for him." When he said this, Sancheng's face looked very sincere.
"For the sake of the young master, please be patient with me."
"Sancheng understands. Your Highness, please take care of yourself." Sancheng bowed respectfully. Mrs. Asong on the side understood it and immediately asked Bupo University who was waiting outside to see off the guests.
After Sancheng left, she turned behind Li Jia and sighed: "Don't you think it's hard?"
Toshiya was speechless, he was thinking about deploying troops to Osaka. A hard knot formed in his heart, and this hard knot, together with the pain, made it difficult for him to breathe...
"It's difficult to mobilize troops." The Li family endured the discomfort and said, "If too many troops are mobilized, it will definitely irritate the Zuo Mansion. And since the Zuo Mansion has been ordered by the Taige to handle affairs, he has the right to mobilize troops. When I came to Kyoto and Fushimi, it would be like me and Zuofu competing to garrison the army in Kinki.
However, if it is adjusted too little, it will be useless. Not only does the Zuofu have the right to garrison troops in Kyoto to ensure the smooth handling of government affairs, but most of the nearly 700,000 koku territory owned by Yamato and Yamato in Jiyin and Yamato is now actually under the control of the Zuofu.
However, Mitsunari controls the nearby Izumi Kingdom. If Zuofu sends troops from Edo to guard Jiyin and Yamato on the grounds that Mitsunari is full of ill will toward him, and I then move troops to Osaka, which is not far from them, he will Don’t you think I’m targeting him too?
But look, Osomatsu, Osaka is in the west, Kyoto is in the east, Jiyin and Yamato are in the south, and the three places are only a hundred miles apart. If the troops I transfer to Osaka are too few, what if...I mean what if, if Zuofu really uses force to speak, then Osaka will be attacked from the east and south.
However, Zuofu has Ji Yin and Yamato with nearly 700,000 dan in their hands, so they can have enough food and pay nearby, but I have to transport money and food from Kaga, five hundred miles away. If you ask me to say that this battle does not need to start, Toyotomi and Maeda will lose half of it first...it will be difficult to handle. Sancheng seems to be shrewd, but it seems that he has not thought clearly about this aspect at all. Where is the chance of winning? "
Mrs. Asong also sighed, but seemed to think that the Li family was not troubled enough, and added: "Did Your Highness forget that a force was not included?"
Li Jia was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "Really?"
"Jie Port - His Highness Taikaku wanted to compete with Kanto and Kyushu, so he sent Yamato Dainagon to negotiate with the Beiyang Maritime Trade Alliance to build Japan's most majestic 'Crystal Tower' in Jie Port. The conditions negotiated were as follows , the Beiyang Maritime Trade Alliance can station troops there, but I don’t know how many troops they have stationed in the border port now.”
Maeda Toshiie's expression suddenly changed: he actually forgot that there was a "Ming Army" in Jie Hong!
