Chapter 212 A Great Gift to Ukita Hide's Family
Tokugawa Ieyasu did not violate the agreement in the treaty, and of course he did not dare. For him, although he has achieved the feat of killing Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the remnants of the Toyotomi clan are still entrenched in Kyoto. Maeda Toshiie is still alive, especially Maeda Toshiie, who is more loyal to Toyotomi Hideyoshi. It is not easy to get Maeda Toshiie to abandon Toyotomi's family and follow him.

And even if he accepts Maeda Toshiie, there is no guarantee that Maeda Toshiie will not become Tokugawa Ieyasu's own "Tokugawa Ieyasu", become the head of a foreign daimyo, and continue to threaten his shogunate regime. Such a result is definitely not what Tokugawa Ieyasu wants. He will not learn from Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and if there is no way to settle it, he will negotiate. He will directly push it with his troops to completely wipe out the remaining forces of Toyotomi's family.

The daimyos of the Western Kingdom are basically supporters of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Their main forces have all fallen apart in North Korea, and none of them have been able to return. Now, it is the best time to flatten the entire west. Tokugawa Ieyasu ordered the entire army almost immediately Preparations, the soldiers started to advance in three groups, and the left and right routes were handed over to the two strongest daimyos other than him. He led the Tokugawa headquarters of more than 3 troops, with Honda Tadakatsu as the forward, and headed directly towards Kyoto. advance in the direction.

A few days before this, he had sent someone secretly to Kanto, his territory, to Edo Castle to inform his base camp that he was going to rebel against Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and asked them to consolidate the territory, guard against it, and wait for his army to arrive. The inside should be combined with the outside to attack from both sides, and together they will wipe out the remnants of the Toyotomi Clan and make the world a reality.

This is the strategy of Kuroda Rushui as a military adviser. He planned strategies for Tokugawa Ieyasu, designed routes, and determined several most convenient routes. After reaching a compromise with the Ming army, their worries have disappeared. They must seize every minute Rusui Kuroda, like Ieyasu Tokugawa, has doubts about the fact that the Ming army may rebel against Japan in a second and eliminate the hostile forces.

They did not trust the Ming army, so they left 5000 people to garrison Nagoya Castle before dividing their forces, and placed all the artillery on the high places of Nagoya Castle, ready to guard against another sea attack by the Ming army. At the same time, Tokugawa Ieyasu brought Toyotomi Hideyoshi's head and his walking stick to Xiao Ruxun, saying that this was Toyotomi Hideyoshi's head and token, and that Xiao Ruxun had obtained everything he needed, and hoped that Admiral Xiao would keep it Promise, don't break the alliance.

Xiao Ruxun laughed and received the envoy, set up a banquet on the flagship to entertain the envoy, had a good time with him, and made him return happily. During the banquet, he also explained to him that the army did not want to continue fighting for a long time, and he would go back to rest immediately , Wait for a while to come to receive Mishima and compensation, let them prepare in advance.

After that, Xiao Ruxun watched the Japanese envoy leave, and before the Japanese envoy completely left, he shouted "The whole army is preparing to retreat", so that the Japanese envoy heard this sentence, and waited for the envoy to pass this sentence back to Tokugawa Ieyasu When they were like water with Kuroda, although the two were still a little uneasy, they felt more at ease. At the same time, they felt that time was running out, so they seized every minute and every second to attack Japan.

They are racing against time here, and Xiao Ruxun is actually racing against time. After getting the head of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, he confirmed to Xuansu that the head indeed belonged to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, so Xiao Ruxun immediately decided to return the whole army to Busan, North Korea. The ship goes first, so that the main force of the navy can rush back to Busan as soon as possible.

It took Xiao Ruxun a long time to take the fast boat, and he rushed back to Busan in the middle of the night, and then returned to Daegu Daying in the morning of the next day, where he met Yuan Huang.

In the past few days when Xiao Ruxun left, Yuan Huang, who was authorized by Xiao Ruxun, was still very good at commanding the arrogant soldiers of the Ming army. Except for Li Rusong who didn't come to order for a few days, Wu Weizhong and Ma Gui, the two southerners The brains of Bing and Xuan Dabing still gave Yuan Huang face. If they were there, then the main force of the Ming army would obey orders. Li Rusong was more arrogant, Yuan Huang didn't care, and Xiao Ruxun didn't care either.

However, after the news of Xiao Ruxun's return spread, Li Rusong took Nurhachi to the Chinese army tent to attend the military meeting at a very fast speed. Omi Hideyoshi is dead.

Then, he showed Toyotomi Hideyoshi's head.

"The reason why the Japanese pirates in Busan are short of food, water, and supplies, but they still cling to the city and refuse to surrender is that they still have illusions about Toyotomi Hideyoshi in Japan. They don't believe that Toyotomi Hideyoshi will abandon them. They firmly believe that Toyotomi Hideyoshi will come to save them back, so they have persisted until now, if they know that Toyotomi Hideyoshi is dead and Tokugawa Ieyasu's coup is successful, their will to resist will completely collapse."

Then, Xiao Ruxun gave the order to Yuan Huang.

"Yuan Zanhua, immediately organize military Chinese books, write at least a thousand copies of the paper with the words "Taige is dead", roll it up, and shoot arrows into every Japanese castle to convey the news that Toyotomi Hideyoshi is dead , and then we sent Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s head to the main city of the Japanese pirates with great fanfare and handed it over to the commander-in-chief of the Japanese pirates, he will know what to do next.”

Yuan Huang stroked his beard and said with a confident smile: "The law of war says: attacking the city is the bottom line, and attacking the mind is the top priority. This attack will hit the Japanese pirates' life. Once the news is out, our army will issue an ultimatum. Don't be afraid of those timid and fearful Japanese pirates who don't surrender. As long as one surrenders, there will be a second, third, fourth, and finally one or two will not surrender. We can attack even if we attack hard. .”

Xiao Ruxun nodded, and announced the combat order to stop the Ming army from resting, and all gathered to prepare for the decisive battle. Yuan Huang quickly organized an army Chinese book to perfectly reproduce the psychological scheming requested by Xiao Ruxun, and wrote it in a short period of time. He bought thousands of such papers, tied them to the arrows, and organized a group of Xuanda crossbowmen to arrive at various Japanese cities. Under the horrified eyes of the Japanese pirates, they began to act.

The Japanese pirates unexpectedly discovered that the Ming army did not use artillery to attack, but used bows and crossbows, a weapon that was basically seldom used.

Thousands of arrows shot into the city, but they failed to kill anyone, but the things on the arrows were more lethal than the artillery.

The literacy rate of the Japanese army at this time is extremely low. Basically, only some middle and high-level officers are literate, and one of the lower-level soldiers is considered illiterate. Death" is enough to cause people's hearts to float.

When the hearts of the people were almost fluctuating, it was when the dinner began, the Ming army swaggered into battle, flying the flags and marching towards the main city of Wacheng, the former Japanese army, saying that there was a big gift for His Excellency Ukita Hideka.
