Chapter 404 Compromise?

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Hideho certainly knew what kind of expression Asano Yukinaga expected from him at this moment, but he did not express his position immediately, but speculated on Ishida Mitsunari's intention of doing so.  As a hindsight of Hideyori, Hideho holds the title of Daiyi. This time he also holds a heavy army and has the support of most of the daimyo in the world. He is not afraid of Ishida Mitsunari at all.  To put it bluntly, if he is willing, he can immediately mobilize more than 100,000 troops from Kinki to besiege Osaka, and capture the center of the Toyotomi clan in less than five days.  ¡°However, even ordinary people know that going against oneself will not end well, so why did Ishida Mitsunari do the opposite and insist on sticking to Osaka?  This is the root of the problem.  Facing the 100,000 troops surrounding Osaka Castle, the reason why Ishida Mitsunari dared to attack the stone with an egg can only be explained by testing his own loyalty in Hideho's view.  Osaka is the seat of the Toyotomi clan and the center of the world since Hideyoshi. If Hideho dares to use force against Osaka, regardless of the reason, it will be regarded as an internal struggle of the Toyotomi clan to a certain extent. This will be detrimental to maintaining the authority of the Toyotomi clan.  No benefit whatsoever.  After a series of events after Hideyoshi's death, especially several large-scale battles, Hideho gradually became the guardian of the Toyotomi regime in the eyes of most daimyo, and his prestige was gradually accumulated through this role.  If Hideho uses force against Osaka at this time, no matter how high-sounding the reason is, no matter whether Ishida Mitsunari can represent Hideyori or not, it cannot cover up the fact that Toyotomi split up his family and attacked Muneji Castle. In this way, no matter what the outcome of the battle, Hideho's behavior will inevitably be criticized.  If people criticize you, your prestige will be greatly reduced.  This is only secondary, the most important thing is that by dividing the families to attack the clan, wouldn¡¯t it further ¡°carry forward¡± the ¡°lower to overcome the higher¡± practice of the Warring States Period?  This was absolutely impossible for Hideho, who wanted to stabilize the world and create a peaceful and prosperous age.  Hideho felt that if he was ambitious, based on the above two points, he would never dare to use force against Osaka at this time, but he would not enter Osaka Castle unprepared, because what is waiting for him is likely to be an ambush and ten deaths.  No life.  But think about it on the other hand, what if you have no ambition?  That makes it even more impossible to lead an army to attack Osaka. There are currently two elders, four monks, and Hideyoshi's main wife Kodaiin in the city. If they start a war before they understand the situation, the Owari faction may foolishly follow their own orders and charge into the battle.  , but in the eyes of others, this is definitely not something that should be done in hindsight. After all, Hideyori's life or death is uncertain, and whether Ishida Mitsunari is a rebel still needs to be verified. Rushing to attack this first city in the world is definitely not the behavior of a loyal minister and wise man.  It can be seen that regardless of whether Hideho intends to seize Hideyori's power or not, he cannot use force against Ishida Mitsunari at this time. How to enter the city to meet Hideyori and Yodohime still needs to be considered in the long term.  But what is certain is that we must not listen to the advice of the Changshu family and enter the city alone. No one can tell whether Ishida Mitsunari can treat himself and these victorious daimyo rationally.  If you rely on people who pose a threat, then entering the city is the best time to "physically eliminate" them.  After careful consideration, Xiubao said to Changshu Zhengjia: "The servants are right. It's getting late today. My lords, the journey has been dusty and the people and horses are tired. In my opinion, it's better to rest first and take care of yourself tomorrow.  Let's go to the city to meet the young master and his wife. " "Your Highness, this" Asano Yukinaga, Fukushima Masanori and others were a little reluctant. They were about to say something, but were stopped by Todo Takatora.  "Everyone, please rest for the night. It won't be too late to set off tomorrow. If you go to the city to have an audience at night, don't you worry about disturbing the rest of the young master and his wife?" Todo Takatora patiently advised.  "Since the Ministry of Civil Affairs has spoken, what can we say?" Asano Yukinaga knew that Toudo Takatora's words mostly represented Hideho's attitude, so it was inconvenient to say more. He could only take the lead to go back to his room to rest under the guidance of Xiao Xing.  .  Seeing this, the other daimyo had no choice but to give up and gradually dispersed in small groups. Seeing this, the Nagasuke Masakaya breathed a sigh of relief. After bidding farewell to Hideho, he got up and returned to his room.  As everyone dispersed, Todo Takatora and other retainers of the Yamato Toyotomi clan also stood up and left. However, they did not return to the rooms prepared for themselves, but came to Hideho's house in twos and threes.  "My lord, I must be frank, but it was a mistake not to enter the city tonight." Although Takatora Toudo seemed to understand Hideho's actions just now, he still felt a little regretful in private.  "What do you mean by the words of the Ministry of Civil Affairs?" Dao Qingxing asked confusedly: "If we follow what Changshu said and only bring two or three followers into the city, who can guarantee the safety of the lord? Now if we drag it all night, it can be considered  Stop and see what Ishida Harubu wants to do in Osaka Castle. "Ishida Harubu has been stationed in Osaka for 20 days. I'm afraid this is the day he has been waiting for." Takatora Todo frowned and muttered seriously.  Said: "Obviously, he just wants to give the lord a show of strength and tell these daimyo that this Osaka Castle is still the residence of the Toyotomi clan, not?You can come in and out at will, and this world is still the world of Master Hideyori. He, Haru Ishida, is still the most trusted retainer of the clan.  " "If you say so, His Highness's compromise just nowwas a mistake?  "Shima Kiyosuke was also a little disappointed after hearing this. "I shouldn't have listened to his sweet words at that time. He simply killed Sannomaru with his troops. I don't believe that this gang of gangsters dared to make enemies of the world's famous people!  "Fukushima Takayoshi said angrily, and also looked at Nasu Shikichi and Ogasawara Tadakichi. These two people have always been hardliners in the family and never like to compromise. At this time, they should support themselves.  That's the point of view. As expected, Nasu Ziyoshi also nodded and echoed: "With the 50,000 elites brought by our family and the 50,000-strong army outside the city, there is no need to worry. In my opinion, it is better to take advantage of it.  Go into the city at dark to avoid long nights and dreams, and to avoid being led by the nose by those followers.  " "What, you all think I'm compromising by doing this?  "Listening to what the retainers said to each other, Hideho gradually had a plan in mind. "I don't dare.  "Todo Takatora and others immediately bowed down and admitted their mistake. "You should know that I have never been afraid of those who follow.  "Hideho signaled everyone to stand up, and then analyzed carefully: "What I'm worried about is, after the war begins, how will I live in this world and in the Toyotomi family?  But whatever, I just thought of an idea Takatora, call Shikanemon over to me immediately.  " "Shikanemon?"  "Hearing that Hideho was going to summon Kirigakure Shiaemon, one of the four jounin, Takatora Toudo couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "Is it possible that my lord wants to send ninjas to the city to investigate first?  "
