Wanli 1592

Chapter 234 Wrist
In many cases, authority is authority because no one dares to question it, but once someone dares to speak up, there will be a steady stream of questioners appearing, just like now, since someone took the lead in ridiculing, then the next person will be more courageous up.

Another daimyo also said in a strange way: "What you said makes sense. If Your Excellency Tokugawa can endure it for a while and discuss this matter with the Ming army after the world is pacified, when Japan is pacified, we can concentrate all our strength and the Ming army." Do we still need to worry about the battle between the army and the army? Can they really defeat us at home? Your Excellency, Tokugawa, our current predicament is really inseparable from you!"

"The Tokugawa Army, which claims to be number one in field battles, has suffered such a disastrous defeat. The Ming Army seems to be really powerful. Do we really want to continue to be hostile to the Ming Army? Or in other words, the loss of the whole world for the sake of one Iwami, is it true? Is it worth it? No matter how rich Iwami Ginzan is, it’s not as rich as the whole of Japan, right? Kyoto and Osaka are the real rich places, right? Your Excellency Tokugawa, what do you think?”

Losing the suppression of strength and rank, those guys who had been submissive before all jumped up and satirized Tokugawa Ieyasu. Tokugawa Ieyasu was furious, but there was nothing he could do. He knew that at this moment he had no To sort out the internal strength, the current problem is no longer an internal problem, but a question of whether or not to continue to create.

"Is it meaningful to say this now? Instead of thinking about this, it is better to think about what we are going to do next. You still have 1000 to [-] troops in your hands. Do you continue to compete with the Toyotomi Army for the world, or just give up? To plead guilty to the Toyotomi family, you can decide on your own, as for the matter with the Ming army, it is also after this matter is decided, the entire Ishijian country and the [-] million taels of silver requested by the Ming army, you'd better think about it."

After saying this, Tokugawa Ieyasu left the conference room and left a group of quarreling people there. Until this time, these people realized that due to the long-standing problem of class, what Tokugawa Ieyasu can come into contact with and all They simply cannot solve the problems they can cope with.

They have always obeyed their superiors to control their subordinates, but they have never become a real leader, so their vision and skills determine that they cannot resolve international disputes.

It was at this time that they understood that only Tokugawa Ieyasu could solve this problem, and only Tokugawa Ieyasu could mobilize their strength. Although Tokugawa Ieyasu's own strength was damaged, Tokugawa Ieyasu's wrist and ability were far behind Above them, a group of them can't do anything without arguing and arguing. Only Tokugawa Ieyasu can integrate their forces to accomplish some great things.

Facing the powerful Ming country, none of them wanted to become the new leader to assume Tokugawa Ieyasu's previous responsibilities, and then they were beaten miserably. One of the famous names of Wanshi, and they only have hundreds of thousands of stones or even 10,000+ stones. With such a little capital strength, they really dare not become the leader of the alliance and confront the Ming army.

Therefore, it is necessary for Tokugawa Ieyasu to continue to be their leader, to negotiate with the Ming army, and to achieve results before they can determine what they should do next. After all, they have basically completed the strategy of the entire Kyushu. There are still sporadic struggles in tamed Satsuma and other places, and the rest of the areas that don't know about Tokugawa Ieyasu's defeat have surrendered.

They came to rebel with a group of troops. In addition to the headquarters of [-] to [-], there were [-] to [-] newly joined troops. Together, there were also a force of less than [-]. Although the level of elite was not the same, but The numbers are there.

It is also unacceptable for them to give up these places, not to mention that they still have their original fiefdoms. In order to force the Toyotomi clan to dare not do anything to their fiefdoms, they must reach a certain compromise with the Toyotomi clan.

These things cannot be achieved by them who lack diplomacy, or only Tokugawa Ieyasu, who is older than this, can do it.

So they thought over and over again and came to a conclusion-continue to elect Tokugawa Ieyasu as their leader, and lead them to communicate with the Ming army and the Toyotomi clan, whether they continue to rebel or reach a compromise with the Toyotomi clan. Let Tokugawa Ieyasu negotiate. All in all, our interests cannot be smaller than before the war.

Tokugawa Ieyasu sneered and refused.

This group of people was in a hurry, and sent people one after another to negotiate with Tokugawa Ieyasu, to exchange feelings with Tokugawa Ieyasu, and to understand them with reason and move them with emotion. Tokugawa Ieyasu finally "reluctantly" agreed to this condition, but they There are also conditions - give me the command of the newly added 3 people, I will command, and I will rebuild the Tokugawa Army.

The Tokugawa elite, who were finally killed by the Ming army, are now rebuilding?
A group of people discussed and discussed, and felt that even if they were given to him, it would be impossible to compare with Tokugawa elites, let alone if they were not given to him, they were afraid that this guy would not work hard, and then he would surrender himself and cheat us. It's over, so he has to feel safe, anyway, our combined strength far exceeds him, so don't worry.

So Tokugawa Ieyasu used his own means to obtain the command of [-] troops. However, these [-] troops are not the same as the [-] Tokugawa elites in his own headquarters. Even so, this is very necessary. When negotiating, momentum is a very important part.

After the previous battles, Tokugawa Ieyasu realized that it was impossible for him to defeat the Ming army head-on. No daimyo in any place could do it. Unless the whole of Japan united and united, it would be possible to drive away the Ming army. If it could not be done, like Now such a state of disunity and everyone talking their own way should not even be thought about.

So the only way right now is to reach a compromise with the Ming army again and accept the Ming army's request, but they can't do it at all if they put forward the Ming army's request. As far as the area they currently control, they can't do it in 100 years, the Toyotomi family is also needed. It can only be done if you join in, gather the power of the whole of Japan, and prepare the silver requested by the Ming army in a few years. The amount of 1000 million taels is really too big. Take this opportunity to drag Toyotomi into the water, and let the Ming army prepare together. endure such humiliating conditions.

What cannot be obtained on the battlefield can be obtained through ingenious means at the negotiating table. This was taught to him by Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

After mastering the military power and leadership again, Tokugawa Ieyasu ordered the troops to be divided into three groups. He led the main force to negotiate with the Ming army, while the remaining two troops continued to fight eastward, trying to attack as many areas as possible, and strive for greater Take the initiative, and don't disclose the news that he was defeated by the Ming army. It's best not to spread the news for the time being. After all the dust settles, it doesn't matter.
