Toyotomi Hidetsugu was a master of preservation.
Judging from his current performance, he entered the Naguya with a group of troops. First of all, he made the Daimyo of Dongguo, who were eager to make trouble, hesitate to attack. After learning about the situation of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and the rumors outside, he had no time to investigate the truth of the matter. He first visited all the Daimyo of Dongguo near the Naguya.
He also went with the army.
Then, under the leadership of Tokugawa Ieyasu, he inspected their 100,000 reserve troops with a smile, declaring his existence and deterrence. Then he announced that no matter what the situation was, even if the situation at the front was not good and the rumors were true, he would definitely lead everyone to North Korea to defeat the Ming Army, rescue the trapped troops, and then negotiate peace with the Ming Army to end the war.
Whether or not he could do it, Toyotomi Hidetsugu had done a very good job of declaring his existence. For the time being, he had deterred Tokugawa Ieyasu and the others.
For the first time, these people also found that they had underestimated the adopted son of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. This quiet guy was already an adult, and he had gained experience in Guan Bai's position for a period of time. He had strong abilities and his own forces, making him a very difficult successor.
They had to hide their thoughts deeply, for fear that Toyotomi Hidetsugu would see through them.
The atmosphere in the Naguya was further relaxed. People relaxed and continued to prepare for the war and the future in an orderly manner. Toyotomi Hidetsugu also took this opportunity to have a very deep understanding of the situation at the front line. He was shocked to find that the situation at the front line was far beyond his expectations. The situation at the front line had reached a point of no return.
At this time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi still did not know the truth of all this. He was still dreaming of becoming the master of the world. He even fainted because of the rumors outside, and was still lying in a coma on the bed.
The culprits of all this were the people of the Korean Front Army. They only hid it from Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Even the people around Toyotomi Hideyoshi knew the cruelty of the situation at the front line. Only Toyotomi Hideyoshi himself did not know. Anyone who tried to ask him about it was killed by him in anger.
This lie had now been confirmed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi as the truth, and the real truth was regarded as a lie.
Toyotomi Hiuji realized that if he didn't withdraw his troops, the Toyotomi Family's foundation would be completely destroyed. At that time, if Tokugawa Ieyasu rose in revolt, he couldn't guarantee what his tens of thousands of men could do.
Before Tokugawa Ieyasu and the others made up their minds, he had to quickly issue an order to withdraw the army to calm the people's hearts, especially to intimidate the daimyo of Dongguo. No matter how many people were lost in the expedition against Korea, as long as those people returned, the Toyotomi family would not fall. Toyotomi Hideyoshi's decades of planning and accumulation could not be replaced by Tokugawa Ieyasu at will.
Therefore, Toyotomi Hidetsugu picked up a pen and drafted an order to withdraw the army. Then, he personally served Toyotomi Hideyoshi on the bed, waiting for him to wake up and report everything to him. One day later, Toyotomi Hideyoshi woke up, but according to the doctor, his body was very weak and could not be stimulated. Toyotomi Hidetsugu was worried about his body, so he decided to postpone the report.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi had just woken up and was a little sober. After learning about Toyotomi Hidetsugu's series of actions, he expressed his affirmation, held Toyotomi Hidetsugu's hand, and kept saying, "After I die, you will be the Prime Minister."
Just as everything was moving in the direction of Toyotomi's regime, Kuroda Rusui secretly came to Nagoya and personally visited Toyotomi Hideyoshi's favorite concubine, Yohimi.
As a rare military counselor, he made great contributions to Toyotomi Hideyoshi's establishment of hegemony. Now, he would once again show the rare military counselor's plan, but this time, the goal of his service was no longer Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
But Yohimi did not know that Yohimi was not very familiar with Kuroda Rusui, but because Kuroda Rusui was also a member of the civil officials under Toyotomi Hideyoshi, compared to the generals, Yohimi and Kuroda Rusui could still talk.
For this reason, Yohimi also had a natural sense of intimacy with Kuroda Rusui. Seeing a large number of precious gifts sent by Kuroda Rusui, Yohimi's eyes lit up and decisively received Kuroda Rusui.
"Hello, Mrs. Yohimi."
Kuroda Rusui's etiquette was very thoughtful. Yohimi nodded with a smile on her face and said in a warm voice: "Mr. Official Wei came to visit in person, I wonder what's the matter? Could it be that there are still outstanding children in the Kuroda family who have not yet become an official, and you want to recommend them to the Taikaku? Even if this little girl's vision is shallow, I know that there are many outstanding children in the Kuroda family. "
Seeing so many precious gifts, Yohimi took it for granted that Kuroda Rusui had something to ask of her. Like countless people who had asked her to do things before, this beautiful woman had not inherited anything except her mother's appearance, such as her mother's intelligence.
Short-sighted and stupid, Kuroda Rusui actually quite despised this woman. However, at this moment, in the face of Toyotomi Hidetsugu's strong attack, Kuroda Rusui knew that only Yohimi could deal with Toyotomi Hidetsugu.
"Mrs. Yohimi, this subject has not greeted you for a long time. This time, I came just to greet you as a routine, and I have no other thoughts."
Kuroda Rusui's words were not something that even Yohime would believe, so Yohime coughed. Then, except for Yohime's personal maidservant, the rest of the people left the main hall and closed the door.
"Mr. Official Wei, please rest assured that the words here come out of your mouth and into my ears. My maid, hehe, her ears are not good."
Yohimi had a look of "I do things you can rest assured", Kuroda Rusui only secretly despised, but his face was full of gratitude.
"Madam is really smart, you know that this subject has something to ask of you, but this subject is not asking for help from Mrs. Yohimi, but from another person."
Yohimi frowned: "Who is the other person that Mr. Official Wei mentioned?"
Kuroda Rusui smiled mysteriously: "Of course, it is the child in your belly."
"Child?" Yohimi was stunned: "The child in my belly?"
Not only Yohimi, but also the personal maid beside Yohimi was shocked, and the whole person was like a stone sculpture.
"Yes, the child in your belly."
Yohimi listened a few times to make sure that Kuroda Rusui did not say anything wrong, and couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Official Wei, you know, I don't have a child in my belly. Although I do miss He Song very much, but He Song's child has passed away. This kind of words, you must not say, right?"
