The death of Xiuqiu
Toyotomi Hideyoshi walked around irritably in the main hall. For some reason, ever since his adopted son Kobayakawa Hideaki brought news about Kobayakawa Takakage and personally led troops to respond, he felt uneasy for no reason. It seemed that there was something big going on. Something is about to happen. Why does he feel this way? Could something happen to Takakage Kobayakawa, the "wise general" who has followed him for many years and made great contributions? Apart from this reason, he could not think of a source of uneasiness.
Over the years, he has fought in the north and south, and has made unparalleled military exploits in Japan. He has also controlled the entire Japan and rewarded him based on his merits. Kobayakawa Takakage, who had taken refuge with him in the early days, was not only loyal, but also his right-hand man. , is one of the most important assistants in his immortal legacy. In addition to his trust and trust, he also has a trace of fear for Kobayakawa Takakage, his most important assistant. This subordinate who has great influence in Japan
After all, Kobayakawa Takakage's influence is not only in the Kobayakawa family, but also in the territories of the Kobayakawa family such as Hizen and Chikuzen. The Moto family, one of the largest families in Japan, in a sense, also follows Kobayakawa Takakage's lead. Although Kobayakawa Takakage was adopted by the Kobayakawa family a long time ago and inherited the Kobayakawa family, in Japan, who is not Moto Moto's family? Moto Moto's family is unusually united. Japan's first wise general Moto Moto has died long ago. In fact, his many educations have been very successful, regardless of his current surnames, but when it comes to unity, it is unmatched by all families in Japan.
Deep down in Toyotomi Hideyoshi's heart, he admired Motonari Motonari, the so-called most intelligent general in Japan, who had died long ago. Without making a move, he controlled the Kobayakawa family and Yoshikawa family, which were quite powerful, under Motonari's control. In the hands of the Yuan family, all that was paid was two names. This kind of deal was quite a bargain.
There was once a little story about the Mouri family in Japan. Moto used arrows to teach his three brothers Moto Takamoto, Yoshikawa Motoharu, and Kobayakawa Takakage: One arrow is easy to break, but three arrows together are difficult to break. , indicating that the three of them should work together, just like three arrows joining together, becoming stronger, which is called the Three Arrow Alliance. Although Toyotomi Hideyoshi scoffed at this matter, no, it is undeniable that it is true that Mori Takamoto, Yoshikawa Motoharu, and Kobayakawa Takakezo have always advanced and retreated together.
This is also the main reason why Toyotomi Hideyoshi is afraid of Kobayakawa Takakage. While he was still alive, he was not worried about what Takakage Kobayakawa and the Mori family would do, but he was afraid that after death, he would not be able to intimidate the powerful Kobayakawa family and the Mori family. What's more, they would be even more powerful. Although the Tokugawa family complied with it on the surface, no one thought it was a hungry wolf
Of course, as a hero, Toyotomi Hideyoshi is not unable to eliminate hidden dangers, and he has already begun to make plans. Since Mourimoto was able to take over the Kobayakawa family quietly, why couldn't others? He basically followed Motonari Mouri's strategy. After having a biological child, he planned to adopt his adopted son to the Moton family and make his adopted son the heir of the Moton family. In this way, as long as his adopted son could control the powerful Moton family, The Yuan family, coupled with its own strength, the Tokugawa family did not dare to act rashly.
However, the idea is good and the strategy is right, but the results are somewhat unsatisfactory.
Kobayakawa Takakage inherited the title of "Wise General" from his father Motonari Mori, and no one thought he was unworthy of the title. After Toyotomi Hideyoshi had just had the idea of ??adopting his adopted son to the Moto family, not only did the news leak out, but Kobayakawa Takakage saw through Toyotomi Hideyoshi's idea. Before Toyotomi Hideyoshi could speak, he took the initiative to propose Hidetoshi Hashiba was adopted as his son. In this way, even if Toyotomi Hideyoshi had another idea, it would be difficult to bring it forward. After all, Kobayakawa Takakage had already proposed that the Kobayakawa family should be given to Hidetoshi Hashiba. This was solved because he had a biological child. The embarrassing situation of the adopted son Hidetoshi Hashiba, I can't say, what I want is the more powerful Maori family, not your Kobayakawa family, right?
It¡¯s okay to eat, but the appearance of eating shouldn¡¯t be too ugly. Otherwise, how can you convince the public? After a falling out, it was not impossible for everyone to rebel and separate, so Toyotomi Hideyoshi had no choice but to put away his greater ambitions, smile and pretend to be grateful, and agreed to Kobayakawa Takakage, and happily adopted his adopted son Hidetoshi Hashiba to Kobayakawa Takakage. Only then did Hideaki Kobayakawa
??At least, on the surface, this is a happy result for everyone. Hidetoshi Hashiba, who was once appointed as the successor of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, has a next family - he can inherit the Kobayakawa family. As for the Maori family, there is no need to change owners. Of course, it is not for others to decide whether the parties involved think this is a happy ending. It is also not for others to decide whether Toyotomi Hideyoshi's ambition to annex the Maori family is owned by the Maori family. However, judging from Kobayakawa Takakage's initiative to adopt Hidetoshi Hashiba, this "wise general" probably guessed it. Otherwise, how could he abandon the Kobayakawa family if he had it? Obviously, he abandoned the Kobayakawa family in order to protect his family.?A stronger M¨¡ori home.
"While Toyotomi Hideyoshi was irritated and uneasy for some unknown reason, little by little passed, and finally, the waiter's voice came from outside the main hall to report to the Lord. The news has just come, Lord Kobayakawa Takakage,"
"? Kobayakawa?" Toyotomi Hideyoshi was stunned, and for a moment he was a little excited and a little disappointed. However, the disappointment passed by in a flash. After all, the importance of Kobayakawa Takakage to him is self-evident. That was his His confidant and beloved general are so good that I would say that the old guy is very lucky and has a lot of tricks, so he will be caught easily, haha"
After laughing for a while, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was in a good mood and told the waiter: Go tell the old guy and ask him to come see me after he returns to the city. I am curious about the reason why the old guy capsized in the gutter and played hawks all day long. How could one be blinded by an eagle's peck? "
"Yes, Your Majesty." The waiter bowed and retreated.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi didn¡¯t wait long, it only took about a stick of incense for the old guy in his mouth, Kobayakawa Takakage, who was captured alive by Zhu Changluo, to rush to the main hall. However, Kobayakawa Takakage's outfit at this time was far beyond Toyotomi Hideyoshi's expectations, not to mention his embarrassment His clothes were ragged and stained with blood, his hair looked like a straw, and he smelled
"I see my lord, I feel ashamed of my lord, and I ask my lord to give me a death, ugh" Kobayakawa Takakage entered the palace and knelt down on the ground, crawling on his hands and knees in front of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The boss cried as if he had been wronged. The child made Toyotomi Hideyoshi stunned for a while, and he was a little at a loss.
The situation at this time was far beyond Toyotomi Hideyoshi's expectations. He had thought about Kobayakawa Takakage dying in battle, thought about Kobayakawa Takakage being captured, thought about Kobayakawa Takakage returning safely but he never thought about Kobayakawa Takakage's appearance and this kind. The expression, this sadness came before me. Perhaps it was because he had never suffered such a disastrous defeat before, and it hurt his self-esteem too much? Toyotomi Hideyoshi made excuses for Kobayakawa Takakage's weirdness.
However, in the disastrous defeat of Kobayakawa Takakage, although he was not able to capture Zhu Changluo, the eldest son of the Ming Dynasty, Toyotomi Hideyoshi had already thought about it. In this way, he could take the opportunity to let Kobayakawa Takakage delegate power and hand over the military power of the Kobayakawa family to Kobayakawa Hideaki. Let that child take control of the Kobayakawa family as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams.
"There is a saying in the Ming Dynasty that victory or defeat is a matter of military strategism. Failure caused by a moment of negligence is not a big deal. We already have 150,000 elite soldiers in Korea. Korea will be ours sooner or later. As long as the prince of the Ming Dynasty remains. In North Korea, we plan long-term, plan slowly, and think of a safer way to capture him in one fell swoop next time. Old guy, you have experienced hundreds of battles, big and small, and you are a wise general, and you can still use it. Am I advising you? Is there anything you can't think of?" Toyotomi Hideyoshi organized his words, looked at Kobayakawa Takakage, and then said after careful consideration that we are all old, and we don't need to care about temporary gains and losses. It's better to sit in the rear and let the young people If you go and work hard, you won't be as embarrassed as this time. "
Kobayakawa Takakage did not put away his sad expression because of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's comforting words, and secretly "hum" in his heart. How could he not know the meaning behind Toyotomi Hideyoshi's words? He just wanted to hand over the Kobayakawa family. The military power of Hideaki Kobayakawa allowed Hideaki Kobayakawa to take over in advance. Unfortunately, Hideyoshi Hashiba, you will be disappointed.
"My lord, old minister, old minister alas" Kobayakawa Takakage choked, a little intermittently, wiped his face, and kowtowed a few times "bang bang". The old minister was sad not because of this defeat, but ¡but¡, I didn¡¯t expect, I really didn¡¯t expect, that now in my sixtieth year, I actually¡lost my beloved son. A man with white hair gave a man with black hair. This¡this is really heartbreaking.¡±
Toyotomi Hideyoshi was stunned for a moment. From Kobayakawa Takakage's tone, he could tell that the old guy seemed to be a deceased nephew. However, it seemed that no one of the old guy's nephews followed him, right? A lot of people came to the Maori family, but I didn't hear that any of the old guy's children or nephews died? Could it be that someone in the Maori family just died and the news hasn¡¯t been received yet?
"What do you mean?" Toyotomi Hideyoshi's heart suddenly became more uneasy at this time, and he had a vague idea in his mind that he didn't dare to think about.
"My Lord, I was ambushed and managed to escape. I didn't expect I didn't expect that after all the hard work, I escaped to Ulsan, only to be kidnapped by a group of pirates who wanted to make a fortune and entered North Korea from the sea." Kobayakawa Takakage said intermittently. said.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi nodded. After Kobayakawa Hideaki got the news, he once reported it. It was also his approval that Hideaki Kobayakawa went to redeem people. After all, pirates are also a maritime force that gives Japan a headache. Those people live a life that raises their heads. They may be beaten to death at any time and die alive in the storm at sea. They are not afraid of anything. After all, even if he offends a big force, who can find him as long as he hides in a small passage on the vast sea? So, ?Even after Hideyoshi learned that Kobayakawa Takakage had been hijacked by pirates, his first thought was to redeem him according to the rules instead of sending troops to suppress it.
Of course, there is another factor that Toyotomi Hideyoshi has to consider, that is, Japan is now continuously transporting troops to North Korea from the opposite side. He does not want to cause trouble and let those pirates do crazy things. There is nothing that those desperadoes dare not do.
"My son Xiuqiu personally led the troops for the sake of the old minister, which moved the old minister very much. Xiuqiu is a kind-hearted child, and also a child with outstanding abilities It's a pity that God prohibits talents, and the child Xiuqiu can't stand the behavior of those pirates. For Support the veteran, the kid actually fell out with the pirates after redeeming the veteran because of some disrespectful words and abominable behavior of the pirates, and wanted to eliminate those hateful pirates" Kobayakawa Takakage choked up and said I just didn't expect that, Those pirates were strong, and their number far exceeded expectations. They were not a thousand, but three thousand, and they were elite The result, the result ugh"
"? You said?" Toyotomi Hideyoshi was no longer as calm as before. Instead, he stood up glumly, stared at Kobayakawa Takakage, opened his mouth, and asked with some disbelief, do you meanTatsunosuke, he ¡? "
"Hideaki Hideaki was lost in the rebellion, and unfortunately unfortunately died," Kobayakawa Takakage sobbed.
Despite the ominous preparations, Toyotomi Hideyoshi couldn't help but staggered back. Kobayakawa Hideaki, also known as Hidetoshi Hashiba, was adopted by Toyotomi Hideyoshi since he was a child. His eldest son Hidekatsu Hashiba and his second son Toyotomi Tsurumatsu both died young. Before giving birth to his third son Toyotomi Hideyori, Kobayakawa Hideaki once He was once established as his heir, and had been Kobayakawa Hideaki for nearly ten years. He was very favored by him, and he had always raised him as his own. Even though he had his biological Toyotomi Hideyori, he still loved his adopted son and wanted him to inherit the Moto family.
At this time, when he heard that his beloved adopted son actually died in the rebellion, he couldn't accept it for a moment. Such a sensible child was just gone like this.
"My Lord, this happened all because of me. Please grant me death. I'm so sorry for Hideaki's child." Kobayakawa Takakage's expression was very much like that of a dead old man. He burst into tears, which made the old and cunning Toyotomi Hideyoshi I was a little moved for a moment.
After all, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was a big shot, an immortal hero. Although he felt pain and sadness in his heart, he lost his composure on the surface for a while. He suppressed his sadness and pulled up his close confidant, comforting him by saying that no one wants this to happen. There is no need to be sad, people die people cannot be resurrected. You have been running all the way, and you have experienced this kind of thing again, so you should take care of yourself first. If Tatsunosuke comes, he doesn't want to see you overly sad. You are already quite old, It¡¯s better to pay attention to your health, there are still many things that cannot be done without you and me, let¡¯s go first. "
"My lord" Kobayakawa Takakage cried like a tearful person.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi waved his hands feebly, feeling a little decadent. His heart was a little confused. Don't worry. I swear, those damn pirates must pay the price and I will make them regret coming to this world."
After finally persuading Kobayakawa Takakage, who was looking for life and death, Toyotomi Hideyoshi kicked over the table in front of him, and with a "crash" sound, the whole table fell to the ground.
"Go and check for me, check in detail, what's going on" Toyotomi Hideyoshi's face was gloomy, his voice was low, anyone could hear that he was very angry at this time, extremely angry. Everyone who knew him knew that he was going to kill someone again.
Although he seemed to be talking to himself in front of the empty hall, a strange voice came from the empty hall, saying, "Lord," and then there was no sound.
"Come here," Toyotomi Hideyoshi did not speak in a low voice to the empty hall this time, but shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty." Following the response from outside the hall, the waiter trotted all the way to the main hall.
"Go and see if any of the followers sent to Chennosuke's side are still alive. If there are any, report them to this palace." Toyotomi Hideyoshi's words were full of murderous intent, and he was really angry.
"Yes, my lord." How dare the waiter be negligent? He has been with Toyotomi Hideyoshi for a long time. Of course, his master is going to kill people again. This time, I'm afraid many people will lose their heads.
Just as Toyotomi Hideyoshi thought, the personal followers he sent to Kobayakawa Hideaki to protect him were not dead. Of course, it was not easy to die. After all, there were thirty Kung Fu masters he sent to Kobayakawa Hideaki. His personal followers are all powerful warriors, and all of them have extraordinary skills.
"See your Lord." About a dozen of the personal followers sent to Kobayakawa Hideaki survived, and they came to Toyotomi Hideyoshi's hall together.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi glanced at these people expressionlessly for a long time, waiting for all these people toUnable to hold back the pressure and sweating on his forehead, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Let's talk about it, it's what happened." "
How could these people dare to neglect? One of them spoke about the Taoist master, and we followed him to a hill beside the Taehwa River in Ulsan, where the pirates were hiding. The pirates were very rude and offended with their words. However, although they were angry, they did not have the same experience as those desperadoes. After we paid the ransom, the pirates asked us to go to the mountain pass twenty miles away to pick up the people. For safety reasons, two thousand people were left behind, and three thousand people were brought with them to follow the pirates to pick up the people. Wewe were the ones who were left behind. About half an hour later, Lord Kobayakawa Takakage led less than a thousand people to escape in embarrassment, and alreadyalready"
Toyotomi Hideyoshi frowned. Do you mean to say that you didn¡¯t follow and didn¡¯t understand what happened? "
"Yesit's like this"
"You deserve to die. For the honor of the warrior, this palace gives you the way to die as a warrior."
