Ming Zuo

Chapter 880

Although unlike his grandfather Tokugawa Ieyasu, he established the shogunate after continuous battles.

Tokugawa Iemitsu grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth since he was born.Although he was neglected when he was young, under the care of Tokugawa Ieyasu, he established the status of heir very early.

Even though he later ruled with his father Hidetada Tokugawa, the power was basically in his hands.

It can be said that Tokugawa Iemitsu is definitely an outstanding politician.

Facing Kato Tadahiro's fierce clamor of war, he appeared very calm.

"Now that the national policy has just been established, it is not yet stable, and the behavior is directional, and it still needs to be discussed. Send an order to the big names for consultation."

The initial establishment of the national policy mentioned by Tokugawa Iemitsu refers to the "Samurai Laws" perfected by him last year.

This decree, created by Ieyasu Tokugawa, aimed at restraining the power of daimyo in various places and maintaining the dominance of the Tokugawa clan, was further improved in the hands of Ieyasu Tokugawa.

He really put the shackles on the names of the feudal clans.

It is less than a year now, and Tokugawa Iemitsu is not sure about the effect.

He was like a cheetah hiding in the dark, patiently observing the reactions of the various vassals.

As an outstanding politician, Tokugawa Iemitsu knew that those daimyos who were respectful on the surface but actually rebellious would never willingly prostrate themselves at his feet.

Once given the chance, these daimyos would, like his grandfather, try to usurp the throne and replace him.

Therefore, at such a critical moment, no matter what you do, you must be prudent.

But his order still caused waves.

They were all wise men, and they all deciphered many things from his orders.

After Kato Tadahiro clamored to start the war, he didn't say anything, and he was even more respectful when he received orders.However, there was a smile on the face on the ground.

He noticed that Tokugawa Iemitsu was about to move.

Yes.

This is an opportunity to set foot on the mainland!
For thousands of years, countless Dongying people have had similar dreams, and they all want to work hard to realize this goal.

During the Tang Dynasty, they tried it once, but they were beaten all over the place.

During the Yuan Dynasty, they still wanted to try.As a result, facing the mighty power of the Mongolian army, he trembled with fright.

If it weren't for that kamikaze, Dongpu might not exist anymore.

Decades ago, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who had reached the pinnacle of martial arts, finally practiced it.

At the beginning, the situation was very good. The Japanese army was invincible and invincible, as if it had really gained a foothold on the Korean peninsula.

However, when that behemoth of Daming made his move, everything came to naught.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi died in hatred because of such a huge failure.

Only then did the old tortoise Tokugawa Ieyasu have the opportunity to pick peaches.

Although Tokugawa Ieyasu learned the lessons of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and started a policy of closing the country, he tried hard to maintain internal stability.

But when there are changes in the neighboring continent, as a Dongpu person, can he really hold back?

Kato Tadahiro felt that this was an opportunity.

Perhaps through this opportunity, he will be able to achieve greater things than his father Kiyomasa Kato.

Those who also felt Tokugawa Iemitsu's unsteadiness were naturally his cronies.

Matsudaira Nobuzuna, Hota Masamori, Miura Shoji, Abe Tadaaki, Ota Takamune and Abe Shige asked for an interview again.

These six people, commonly known as the six people, are the most trusted people of Tokugawa Iemitsu.

"The Ming people's rebellion seems to be powerful, and now they have gained a firm foothold, and replacing Daming is just around the corner. Dongpu should not be an enemy of such forces, and there is no benefit."

Matsudaira Nobuzuna, who had dealt with Shandong before, did not approve of mixing with North Korea.

His words touched Tokugawa Iemitsu.

Tokugawa Iemitsu put his hand into his bosom, and when he took it out again, what was displayed in front of everyone was a delicate pocket watch.

Nobuzuna Matsudaira was carrying out smuggling from Shandong behind Tokugawa Iemitsu's back. Can such a thing really be concealed?

Obviously, with Tokugawa Iemitsu's control over Japan, it is absolutely impossible.

Seeing the pocket watch in Tokugawa Iemitsu's hand, Nobuzuna Matsudaira was covered in cold sweat, and quickly prostrated himself on the ground, not daring to breathe.

He was well aware of the horror of the master in front of him.

However, Tokugawa Iemitsu did not intend to punish him at this time, his eyes were deep and his face was dark, which made others puzzled.

"Such things are even more subtle than the gifts from the Dutch. Have those smart people who rebelled already mastered such a skill?"

Nobuzuna Matsudaira breathed a sigh of relief, no longer daring to hide anything, and said everything in one go.

"Da Ao didn't know that these Ming people were rebellious and didn't believe in Confucianism. Instead, they relied heavily on craftsmen and created many miraculous and ingenious things."

Tokugawa Iemitsu raised his pocket watch to the sun.

"Is this really a miracle and obscene thing?"

Several other people were amazed, and obviously thought this kind of thing was amazing.

As for how many of these exclamations were sincere and how many were fake, it was difficult for Tokugawa Iemitsu to tell.

Under the huge interests, loyalty cannot be called loyalty.

"In any case, the rule of the shogunate is more important than anything else, so I hope Ooku will make a careful decision."

Abe again did not give any opinions, but based on Tokugawa Iemitsu's decision.

The others still had something to say, but seeing how he set the tone, they could only hold back.

Seeing these people obediently and obediently, Tokugawa Iemitsu felt even more tired.

If the grandfather is still there, what should he do?

Even the six people can't open their hearts, so who should they discuss such a big matter with?

After the six people left, Tokugawa Iemitsu thought for a long time and finally made a decision.

"Prepare the car and go to Changping School."

The story of the war in North Korea has spread in Japan.

For this reason, countless people became restless.

Among them, the most enthusiastic one was a twenty-one-year-old young man.

He sees this as an opportunity.

A chance to fulfill the ambitions of our parents.

Because this young man is called Mitsuhisa Shimadzu, the direct heir of Satsuma.

Although Mitsuhisa Shimadzu has been living in Edo in recent years, his heart will always stay in Satsuma.

It's not that he doesn't want to go back, but as a proton, he can only stay in Edo.Accepting the surveillance of the Tokugawa shogunate, he lived a precarious life.

When will he be able to return to his territory to show his ambitions? Mitsuhisa Shimadzu has dreamed many times.

"I think... I see hope of going back."

Mitsuhisa Shimadzu told his cronies what he thought.

Accompanying him in Edo were Yamada Yuei and Kiiryuhiro.

These two are also the confidants of Mitsuhisa Shimadzu, the most trustworthy people.

After clarifying Mitsuhisa Shimadzu's thoughts, the two quickly expressed their opinions.

"The feudal lord has been bedridden and unable to manage affairs, so the Satsuma clan is unstable. Now that there is such a big change in North Korea across the sea, the Satsuma clan must have someone to deal with it. Maybe this is our chance to go back."
