Chapter 947 Afterglow of the Empire (3)

As long as the eyes are not blind and the perception is not a problem, you know that if there is no miracle, the Japanese overlord will definitely not be able to survive this year.

The Battle of Keicho, that is, the two wars that invaded the peninsula, were all promoted by Hideyoshi with his own strength.

Except for the first invasion, many daimyos were very interested and had certain ideas about the Ming Dynasty, but the rest were lack of interest, especially this time in Ding Younian, many Japanese generals were even more reluctant to fight.

Now that Toyotomi Hideyoshi is dying of illness visible to the naked eye, it seems inevitable to withdraw from the peninsula.

But the contradiction is that the Kwantung Allied Forces arrived. These guys are strong and strong. They have not participated in the two Korean wars. What do they mean?

Some daimyos believed that it was Taiko who wanted to consume the strength of the Tokugawa family. After all, the daimyos who were most loyal to him, Kato, Shimadzu, and Konishi, all died in battle. If they died of illness, only a young heir would be left...

I'm afraid there will be a repeat of the past.

You must know that the current status of the Toyotomi clan was obtained by Hideyoshi's rebellion against the lord, replacing the Oda clan.

There are also daimyo who think that things will not be that simple, Lord Hideyoshi may launch a fierce attack to save his own life, after all, the fate of the country has many wonderful functions.

And the more land and population it invaded, the stronger the luck. It was probably for this reason that Taige rushed here from the mainland desperately.

Tokugawa Ieyasu with a mustache saw Toyotomi Hideyoshi so haggard, and immediately understood:

I fell for it!

He was clearly not as strong as described in the letter, he became a sick tiger, and was dying.

Not only that, the so-called news of good news and victories coming one after another are all gimmicks. If it is true as stated in the letter, tens of thousands of Ming and North Korean allied forces are killed in every battle, scaring the two countries to keep begging for peace. Will it huddle around the coastline?

But the territory is getting smaller and smaller, and there are fewer and fewer old faces!

Although Tokugawa Ieyasu heard the news that Shimadzu and Konishi suffered heavy casualties, he did not expect that the two died in battle!

Moreover, among the daimyos who greeted him, he did not see Muneshige Tachibana, the Saigon Warrior who was as famous as the warrior Honda Tadakatsu under his command.

Neither Kato Kiyomasa nor Kuroda Nagamasa appeared.

What is the real situation on the front line, through a simple welcome ceremony, Tokugawa Ieyasu can see clearly.

Because this can't be hidden from any daimyo who came from the army, and Ieyasu is even a veteran.

It's just that this old hero who is good at forbearance also understands in his heart that when the warship arrives, everything will be too late, and he must accompany the old monkey to go crazy.

"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it in the city."

Hideyoshi opened his mouth and looked away from behind Tokugawa Ieyasu. He was very satisfied. The other party was almost out this time, and did not leave much wealth in the mainland.

Completely giving up the little bit of luck in his heart, and realizing that the great plan of Zhengming has been in vain, Toyotomi Hideyoshi became extremely realistic and calm.

The war on the peninsula is deteriorating day by day. The daimyos of the Eastern Kingdom seem to be humble, but there are sharp fangs hidden under their honest appearance. Hideyoshi has to turn his attention away from his personal ideals and turn his attention to his youngest son Hideyori.

Using the method of half lure and half coercion, let Dongguo daimyo be the main attacker. If he can capture more land, he can prolong his life.

If the Ming army is too strong, then consume as much strength as possible...

The Western Kingdom, which is the foundation of one's life, is weak, so the Eastern Kingdom should also be weakened. In this way, one can sit back and relax after death.

The above is Hideyoshi's idea, it is a conspiracy, even if Tokugawa Ieyasu wants to resist, there is nothing he can do.

Many scheming daimyos have also seen through, lamented the cunning of the Taiko, and envied Hideyori, the heir of the Toyotomi family.

A person who knew that he would not live long, for a little guy whose life had just begun, took a deep breath, cleaned up the mess, and left him an environment where the nations surrendered.

In other words.

Father's love urges Hideyoshi to recover from his arrogance and return to rationality little by little.

The most important thing is that the power of the Toyotomi family has suffered a loss, but it is far better than the end of the mountain, and has the ability to put pressure on the Kwantung Allied Forces——

Big names such as Kobayakawa Hideaki, Ukita Hideka, Mori Hidemoto, etc., no matter how unfavorable the previous war, they have not been hurt.

These people are either Hideyoshi's relatives, or the elite of Xiguo, the absolute descendants of the Toyotomi family!

Konishi Yukyo, Kato Kiyomasa, and Shimadzu Yoshihiro are loyal, but they are basically Kyushu soldiers. From the perspective of geography and blood relationship, they are a little far from Toyotomi's family.

The same is true for Kuroda Nagamasa, Nabeshima father and son, Tachibana Muneshige, and Soyoshi Tomo.

How the situation will develop, and what measures should be taken according to the situation, the old monkey has all figured it out, and he will wait and see how the Kwantung Allied Forces will perform.

Ming, Japan, and North Korea, the three countries all have their own concerns and their own small nines.

However, war is inevitable.

After resting and resting for half a year, it was not for preparing for peace talks, but for more bloody and cruel fighting.

Counting from the 20th year of Wanli, when the head of the First Army, Chief Xiaoxi, launched an attack, this war, which can be divided into two on a large scale, has lasted for seven years.

The two countries with relatively scarce resources were dragged down to the point where people's lives were dying, and Daming also wanted to breathe a sigh of relief.

It's all done in one battle.

Increase troops, greatly increase troops!

The previously appointed candidates all entered the court, and the soldiers came from all over the world, Liu Ting, the swordsman general, and Dong Yiyuan, the descendant of Dong Zhongshu...

Among them are many strange species.

To be precise, hundreds of dark people.

And it's not the kind of tanning in the plateau area, it's extremely black from head to toe, with only the whites of the eyes and teeth showing white.

Li Chao's soldiers thought they were humanoid monsters.

And these are the infantry guerrilla Peng Xingu's personal guards, all from distant regions, sold at high prices by the Portuguese red barbarians, and then bought by Daming.

The generals spoke highly of them:

He is good at fighting, and his strength is comparable to that of an animal. Because he is proficient in water, he is also called a sea ghost.

In the Tang Dynasty, their ancestors had a special title of "Kunlun Slave", and Daming gave it a more powerful title: God of War with Different Faces.

The king of Joseon, Li Yan, had his eyes opened completely, especially after watching the group of sea ghosts practice, he found it even more satisfying, and wanted to find a way to buy a batch back.

"Nearly 150,000 Ming troops, plus 50,000 Li Dynasty elites, not counting the rebels from all over the world, are enough to crush the Japanese pirates."

Some actors breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that they must fight well in the final battle.

Lu Li, whose strength has been greatly reduced, is also secretly planning what he should do to play a more effective role.

"The sailor should be here soon."

Pan Ming stood on a high place, overlooking the magnificent river from a condescending height, waiting for the final puzzle to arrive.

During the long Anti-Japanese War, the Daming Navy remained silent and only moved slightly twice.

One time was to escort Li Rusong's supply fleet.

Once it was a false shot, and because the battle plan was canceled and the three countries negotiated peace, they retreated voluntarily, and they never collided with the Japanese.
