    In fact, Ishida Mitsunari's thoughts have been roughly guessed by the Ukita Hideie outside the city and the Maeda Toshiie inside the city. According to the results of discussions with Hideho, the Ukita Hideie currently has 15,000 troops stationed in the structure. Although Maeda Toshiie is there  In the city, Maeda Toshimasa, the actual controller of the Maeda clan, led the Maeda army to win a series of battles, first defeating the Niwa coalition in Hokuriku, and then defeating the Maori army led by Amano Motomasa in Omi. Now the morale of the more than 20,000 Maeda troops is high.  Stationed in the southern area of ??Osaka such as Hiranoguchi, they firmly controlled the main roads leading to Osaka Castle; while the 10,000 Yamato Toyotomi troops led by Honda Toshimasa left Koriyama in the north, joined forces with Ogasawara Takakiyo, and were stationed in  The area around Dahe Bridge east of Osaka has blocked the main road east of Osaka.  At this point, Chihideyasu's military force has controlled all the land routes to Osaka. In addition, the Toyotomi navy is returning to Kinki from Edo, and the siege of Osaka has begun to take shape.  If a conflict really breaks out, facing the more than 50,000 troops outside the city and the 140,000 Aizu expeditionary force that is about to triumph in Osaka (at this time, Ishida Mitsunari does not know that Hideho has only led 50,000 elite troops to the capital), Ishida Mitsunari hastily summoned  The 14,000 so-called royal horsemen have no chance of winning.  But Ishida Mitsunari was confident that he did not think that Hideho would dare to attack Osaka at this time, and he also had illusions about the Owari faction and some outside daimyo who had been favored by Hideyoshi. He believed that even if Hideho ordered an attack on the city, these daimyo would not  Obeying orders, on the contrary, there is even a possibility of a military confrontation with Hideho, and it is not yet known who will win and who will lose.  In fact, after learning that the Osaka land route was blocked, Ishida Mitsunari climbed to the castle tower many times and looked at the surrounding armies with flags fluttering. His mood was also very complicated. However, as time went by,  But his belief became stronger: "The bigger the battle, the more guilty you are. You haven't even arrived in Osaka yet, and you are putting on such a posture. Is it possible that you want to force the palace? I will never agree to it 30% of the time."  !¡± Ishida Mitsunari is well versed in poetry and books, and he especially knows a lot about Chinese history. But the more he knows, the more he feels like Hideho is a person.  "How similar is today's Osaka to the Bianjing of the past? How similar is today's Youfu to the Song Taizu of the past?" Ishida Mitsunari expressed his inner worries to Masuda Nagamori and others more than once.  Indeed, just as Zhou Chai-rong trusted Zhao Kuangyin, Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty, during his lifetime, Toyotomi Hideyoshi also trusted Hideho very much and made him serve as Hideyori's second opinion. The level of trust far exceeded the former.  However, after Chai Rong's death, Zhao Kuangyin did not take into account Zhou Shizong's kindness. Instead, he launched a mutiny in Chenqiao, led his army back to Kaifeng, and used military force to force Chai Zong to take the Zen throne, thus establishing the Northern Song Dynasty.  So Hideho, who now also holds military power and has sent a large army to besiege the city, also wants to stage a "yellow robe"?  Although the change of dynasty that year did not cause bloodshed in the palace gates and corpses in the fields, nor did it cause wars and wars, and according to historical records, it was almost "if the soldiers are not killed, the market will not be easy", but it can be said that it created a lot of things.  The miracle of establishing a great dynasty through bloodshed.  But even so, Ishida Mitsunari, who has always regarded himself as the guardian of the Toyotomi clan, never wanted this to happen: "This world was left to Young Master Hideyori by Taiko, not to his right wing. Young Master is young, he  It can be taken care of. When the young master is weak, he must return the power. This cannot be discussed! " "Then it will be another bloody storm!" Some of the counselors under Ishida Mitsunari couldn't help but worry.  "So what, if we risk our lives to keep Taige's foundation, it is worth it; if it is taken away by others, we will not feel guilty even if we die. If Taige is aware of it, we will definitely not blame it.  We." It was with this idea and his grasp of the current situation that Ishida Mitsunari insisted on keeping Osaka City in his own hands and did not allow Chihideho's forces to go further.  " Everyone in the city is worried about the deployment of troops inside and outside Osaka, even Yodohime and Hideyori are no exception.  Yodohime summoned Ishida Mitsunari many times and asked him why he wanted to recruit troops and refused to allow the Ukita and Maeda family's troops to enter the city to guard the city.  Ishida Mitsunari felt that Yodohime had always been on good terms with Hideho, but anyone who spoke against Hideho would be scolded, so he did not want to say more. He just told Yodohime, "Although Mori has withdrawn from the army, we cannot rule out that there are ninjas among the troops outside the city.  "I don't want Prime Minister Bizen and Noto Shou to enter the castle because I'm worried that someone will take the opportunity to sneak into the city, which will be detrimental to the young master and his wife." "According to what you said, even if the right government returns in triumph, they can't enter the city, right?"  ?" Yodohime was very dissatisfied with Ishida Mitsunari's explanation. Although she was a harem woman, she had heard about it and knew that there was a rift between Mitsunari and Hideho. The blockade of Osaka Castle this time did not seem to be as simple as what he said.  "The Youfu is the young master's posthumous meeting. How dare I not allow him to enter the city." Ishida Mitsunari respectfully replied to Yodohime: "However, until the danger is completely eliminated, the Youfu can only be allowed to carry up to fifty people.  Soldiers are entering the city. ""Asshole!" Hearing what Ishida Mitsunari said, Yodohime couldn't help but scolded: "Youfu has more than 100,000 soldiers, if he"What do you want to do to Hideyori and my concubine? Do you have to wait until now?"  Nowadays, you guys are pursuing the idea of ??taking advantage of the right government to go to war, and the great Nayan is in bed to take charge of state affairs, and recruit troops without authorization. These concubines have tolerated it, but now you have to take this approach to the right government. It is really disappointing!  Aren't you afraid of disappointing the Youfu and the daimyo who came from afar?  " "Madam!  "Ishida Mitsunari forcibly interrupted Yodohime's accusation and said firmly: "I am doing this for the sake of the safety of the young master and you, and for the sake of Taige's foundation!  Please don't worry about this matter anymore What kind of person You Fu is will be revealed when the time comes.  " "See the results?  what do you mean?  "Dianji asked angrily. "Madam, you will know when the time comes.  "Ishida Mitsunari bowed and saluted Yodohime, then stood up and walked out of the palace. "Ishida Harubu, wait a minute," the moment Ishida Mitsunari stepped out of the palace door, Yodohime stopped him: "Whatever you want to do,  What, please promise me that you will never fight again. Osaka City can no longer withstand the flames of war.  " Ishida Mitsunari turned around, kowtowed to Yodohime solemnly and said: "I will do my best and will never put the young master and you in danger again.  " "As for the Youfu I would like to ask the administrative department to treat it with caution and never destroy the Great Wall.  "Said Hideho, Yodohime's tone was much more easy-going, and she was a little more worried than before. "I understand that Youfu is not only Taikaku's nephew, but also Young Master Hideyori's cousin and concubine, and he has a distinguished status.  Show your dignity, I have my own sense of propriety, please rest assured, madam.  "Ishida Mitsunari said goodbye to Yodohime immediately, got up and left the inner hall. "I thought that peace would soon be restored in the world, but why is this the case?  " Yodohime sighed helplessly. As the biological mother of Toyotomi Hideyori, Yodohime has the highest status, but in this troubled period of the Warring States Period, what can she do with such a status? After all, this is an era dominated by men, and she,  It is just a duckweed in the long river of history. Apart from adding some green and vitality to this era and covering up some blood and cruelty, it seems that it has no other role. This is the sadness of living in troubled times.
