    With the assassination of King Shunyi, the various Mongolian tribes were further divided and opposed. The Ming court took the opportunity to increase its management and integration of Mongolia.  Through reorganization, marriage (in the early stage, it was mainly distant clan clans and ministers, in the later stage, tribal leaders were recruited to Beijing as officials and promised marriage, and the heirs returned to serve in the guard when they grew up), alliances, awards, relief, pilgrimage, emphasis on religion and other policies,  Strengthen the win-win and administration of the upper-level figures and tribesmen of the Mongolian tribes, and eventually bring the Outer Khalkha tribes into management. On this basis, the Lingbei Dusi was established, ensuring the stability of the region for more than 200 years.  In the fiftieth year of Wanli (1622), the Mongolian tribes gave the Wanli Emperor the title of "Tenggri Khan (Heavenly Khan)", but he was regarded by him as "the whole world is not the king's land, I am the lord of all peoples in the world, there is no need  He refused on the grounds of "another title". From then on, all tribes in the world called him the emperor.  After that, the Ming Dynasty also implemented the peripheral policy of "using barbarians to control barbarians", recruiting the capitals such as Uzang, Lingbei, Shuofang (Ningxia and other guards merged with Tumote old land reform) and Daning to participate in the expedition against Turpan and others to regain their old lands in the Western Regions and block the Tsarist Russian Cossacks.  Go east.  In the southwest, he carried out the "reform of native land and return to the current situation", took advantage of the civil strife to attack Burma and Siam, and reestablished the Chief Envoy of Cochin.  In addition, an expedition fleet was also organized to set off from Yongning, pass through the Liugui Peninsula and discover the Taichang Strait (the strait between the mainland and Haidong), and reach Haidong (called "America" ??by the Westerners) via the Andong Islands (called the Aleutian Islands by the indigenous people).  ).  Although most of the goals were achieved, years of conquests also led to the depletion of the people's strength. By the mid-to-late eighteenth century, except for the continued development of immigrants to Haidong, other conquests gradually stopped.  Hideho naturally cannot see these latter things, let alone control them, but he believes that he has tried his best, and he will follow fate as to what happens next.  After returning to Japan, the Ming Dynasty received a steady stream of rewards, the prospecting trade was fully relaxed, Japan's economic and social recovery accelerated, and Hideho's prestige increased day by day. In the eyes of the Toyotomi clan, this did not seem to be a good thing.  In the middle of the first month of the eighteenth year of Keicho (1613), Terumasa Ikeda died of illness, casting a shadow over the beginning of the new year. This former Toyotomi minister, whom Hideho relied heavily on, handed over 410,000 shi to Kasugayama Domain before his death.  Although Hideho agreed to give it to his legitimate son, Toshitaka Ikeda, he was inevitably worried. It was difficult to make an accurate judgment on what role such a great name would play in Japan in the future.  This year, Hideyori turned twenty years old, but his official position remained at the right minister.  On the contrary, it was Hideho's sons. The legitimate son (16 years old) was promoted to the throne of Kannayan, and the eldest son (17 years old) was promoted to the throne of Nakayan. This made the relationship between the clan and Hideho quite subtle and even a little tense.  The reason why Hideho is like this is Hideyori¡¯s own fault.  Over the years, his temperament has not changed much, and his violent temper has not subsided. At this time, with appropriate beatings, Hideho thought he could wake him up.  But Hideyori did not realize this. Instead, he hated Hideho even more because of the rumor that "Kikutei Haruyuki was about to take over as Kanpaku", and then secretly contacted Ishida Mitsunari and Masuda Nagamori with the intention of assassinating Hideho on the anniversary of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's death.  Mitsunari was shocked and immediately wrote a letter to stop him. Masuda Nagamori also ordered his second son to reply to Hideyori, telling him not to listen to rumors and continue to be patient.  However, the second son was worried about getting into trouble, so he handed the letter to Nagasaki Chief Goto Kiji. After receiving the letter, Kiji immediately sent someone to inform Hideho.  Although Hideho was angry, he still had to take the family's face into consideration. He rejected the retainer's proposal to have Hideyori go to Fushimi in person to explain the situation.  "It feels a bit inappropriate to ask him to come to Fushimi to apologize to me after calling him 'Young Master' for so many years." Hideho was worried.  "It has been ten years since the opening of the shogunate. Your persistence has no other meaning than weakening the prestige of the shogunate." Takatora Todo cautiously reminded, "Isn't the reason for all the efforts to 'change the gates' and the opening of the shogunate to avoid being dismissed again?  Is Osaka's reputation shackles? Now, it's time to change. " "I understand what you mean," Hideho nodded and explained: "But it seems a little bit to directly call people to Fushimi with just a letter.  Making a fuss out of a molehill will make people think that the old officials of the Toyotomi clan are still watching. At this time, you still have to have an attitude and not follow the facts. Only in this way can the following things be "justified" and logical. "  "I understand, my lord, you want to make those guys sit still and fight for their righteousness?" Todo Takatora seemed to have some understanding.  "Yes, I want to see who are hiding in the corner and staring at us. This time, I want them to jump out and see the sun." A cold light flashed in Hideho's eyes.  So, on May 14, Hideho went to Osaka in person and confronted Hideyori in front of Yodohime and Katagiri Shimoto.  But the development of the matter went beyond Hideho's imagination. In front of the evidence, Hideyori became angry and drew his sword and slashed. Upon seeing this, Yodohime immediately rushed forward to dissuade him, but Hideyori stabbed him in the vital part.  &nbspHideho was furious and immediately ordered people to place Hideyori under house arrest in his dormitory. Katagiri and others wanted to dissuade him, but they were detained by Hideho's personal guards.  Although the doctors tried their best to save her, they lost too much blood and were unable to save her life.  Late that night, the pale-faced Yodohime snuggled tightly into Hideho's arms, feebly stroking Hideho's cheek.  When she was dying, Hideho kissed her forehead with tears in her eyes and whispered "Chacha". After listening to this, the hostess of Osaka Castle shed two lines of tears and left the place that she loved and hated with a smile.  era.  The death of Yodohime cut off Hideho's last few forbearances and illusions towards Hideyori, and he immediately decided to depose Hideyori as Toyotomi's pillar.  Early the next morning, Hideho, his eldest son Toyotomi Hidetoshi, and Miki Domain Lord Fukushima Takayoshi led 20,000 troops into Osaka, forcibly replacing the city's defenders and cutting off Toyotomi Hideyori's contact with the outside world.  Two days later, Hideho petitioned the emperor to issue an order to depose Hideyori from his position as the pillar of the Toyotomi clan on the grounds of his murderous matricide and cruelty. His son Kunimatsu was temporarily responsible for the affairs of the Toyotomi clan.  After receiving this news, Hideyoshi¡¯s former ministers reacted violently.  The lord of the Azumi clan, Hayami Morihisa, the lord of the Matsuno clan, Hideto Matsuura, and the lord of the Komatsu clan, Gunsoho, reorganized their troops and intended to take action; the lord of the Mito clan, Ishida Mitsunari, and the lord of the Kuroki clan, Masuda Nagamori, came to Luo, claiming to plead guilty but actually putting pressure on Hideho; Ukita  Strong factions such as Hideie, Masanori Fukushima, and Yoshiaki Kato also wrote to Hideho, hoping that Hideho would think twice.  After many days of inner suffering and ideological struggle, Hideyori finally entered Fushimi to plead guilty to Hideho accompanied by Ishida Mitsunari and Masuda Nagamori on July 15th. In this way, the shogunate finally clarified its status and relationship with the Toyotomi clan.  gap.  Although he was still grieving for Yodohime's death and resentful of Hideyori's failure to live up to expectations, Hideho decided to compromise in view of the public's opposition and the fact that his initial goal had been achieved. He agreed to still use Toyotomi Hideyori as the pillar of Toyotomi, but deprived him of the right to do so.  From the mountain castle and Sakai Port fiefdom, only Kawachi, Settsu, and some Izumi were preserved, and the stone height was reduced from 1.02 million koku to 700,000 koku.
