The Age of Lords Reborn

Chapter 510 The Crazy Toyotomi Hideyoshi (Subscribe)
Wa country, Kyoto Prefecture.

As the capital of a country, it was burned down by war a hundred years ago. However, since Toyotomi Hideyoshi took the seat of Kanbai, he spent great efforts to rebuild Kyoto Prefecture.

And built Fushimi Castle in Kyoto Prefecture as its own foundation.

"The skills of the Japanese are ordinary, but the capital city is well built."

At the end of March, the peace missions landed from the northwest port of Kyoto Prefecture, and at a glance, they could see an invisible city defense wall pass. Seeing this, He Chun couldn't help but smacked his lips: "This city wall alone should be no less than ten miles long. Bar?"

Shen Weijing heard He Chun's question, and replied with a smile: "I have heard people say that this capital city was built with great effort, and the total length of the city wall is at least forty miles."

"It's not as good as our Great Ming capital, but it's much bigger than North Korea's Pyongyang and Seoul. It's no wonder that North Korea can be easily defeated. Looking at the capital, you can tell that it's not at the same level."

"Perhaps there is such a relationship."

Shen Weijing chuckled, not to mention anything else, just to see that Toyotomi Hideyoshi can rebuild the huge Kyoto Prefecture, it must be much better than the King of Joseon who only knows how to eat and drink.

"I'm about to enter the city soon, so cheer up, don't weaken Da Mingming."

Following He Chun's loud shout, the somewhat slack team of the mission immediately organized itself, and every soldier's face was filled with the pride and solemnity of being a soldier of the Ming Dynasty.

"Several envoys, after entering the city, please stay in the city first. I need to report some affairs to Guan Bai. Please stay calm and don't worry about the peace negotiation."

Because he once had the experience of going to Pyongyang as an envoy, and also witnessed the withdrawal of Japanese soldiers and horses from Seoul, Hashiba Hidekatsu had long lost his anger, but was even more grateful that he returned to Kyoto alive.

Victory or defeat is impermanent, and I am already very lucky.

The others like Yukinaga Konishi, Kiyomasa Kato, Takakage Kobayakawa, and Muneshige Tachibana don't know where their bodies are now.

It is impossible to beat Daming by fighting recklessly, and now Hidekatsu Hashiba just wants to let himself calm down for the last time, and figure out how to make the most comprehensive summary of the war against Hideyoshi Toyotomi.

"It's okay, it's okay, we can afford to wait."

Shen Weijing waved his hand, he wished not to talk so early, if the talk broke down at the beginning, and the admiral didn't lead the troops to the Japanese Honshu Island, then they would be very embarrassed.

As the peace mission team slowly entered the city, the scene of Kyoto Prefecture gradually unfolded in front of everyone.

At any rate, it is a metropolis with nearly 20 people, and there is no war. The streets are naturally a bit bustling, but after walking around two or three streets, He Chun discovered something interesting.

Whether it's some shops or private houses that you pass by, you can't see anything inside, but the construction of Wushe's door and courtyard door is surprisingly consistent.

Two characters, small and narrow.

Seeing that a three-story restaurant has only a small courtyard door less than two meters wide, He Chun couldn't help complaining: "It's such a big restaurant, and there is only such a small door for diners to enter and exit. Isn't it petty?"

"You don't know that, of course there is a reason for this construction."

Shen Weijing, as a businessman, although he was relatively unsuccessful, had a lot of experience and knowledge. He explained immediately: "It is said that after the Wa Kingdom's so-called Guan Bai came to power, the residents and merchants in the city were required to pay taxes according to the width of the gate. It’s too big, but you have to pay heavy taxes.”

"Tax according to the width of the gate?" Not to mention He Chun, even Liu Ye felt incredible.

There is such a weird tax collection method in the world?

"Secretly tell you, this Guan Bai, who used to be a poor peasant, probably was bullied by the nobles of the high family compound when he was a child, and he can't get it back after he took power."

Shen Weijing explained with a low smile, while He Chun couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing with a 'puchi'.

Hashiba Hidekatsu was also beside him, his face was even more uncomfortable.

Of course he knew about the tax issues in Kyoto Prefecture, but Toyotomi Hideyoshi was his adoptive father after all, how could he not be indifferent to being ridiculed like this, and immediately glared at Shen Weijing: "My lord is in the Wa country, it is better to be careful when you speak."

"See, I'm getting angry from embarrassment, let's not talk, let's not talk."

After following Hashiba Hideyoshi for several laps, Shen Weijing and others finally arrived at the Warenguan post where they stayed.

Hashiba Hidekatsu didn't want to stay for a second after signaling the Daming Mission to take a rest, and immediately went to Fushimi Castle, which is located in the southeast of Kyoto Prefecture.

Enter the city and meet Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

Because they met at Toyotomi Hideyoshi's private residence, Hashiba Hidekatsu did not salute as a subordinate, but bowed and said, "Father, I'm back."

"Xiu Sheng, I heard that you brought Daming Yi and the envoy?"

In the private mansion, Toyotomi Hideyoshi sat on a futon with his legs bent, his thin face clearly gleamed with sharp eyes, staring at his adopted son.

Yu Chai Xiusheng didn't dare to look at him, but just lowered his head and said: "I have settled in the post for now."

"Well, tell me first, what's going on in the war ahead, and why is Daming eager to seek peace?" Toyotomi Hideyoshi nodded first, and then asked again.

Sue?

The envoys of the Ming Dynasty were not asking for peace, they were clearly using the guise of peace talks to snatch it!

Yu Chai Xiusheng gritted his teeth, and finally said: "Father, the Ming army is unstoppable. The tens of thousands of soldiers you personally selected cannot compete with the Ming army."

"What did you say?"

Because Toyotomi Hideyoshi has been staying in his territory all the time, and Ukita Hideyoshi's family has not sent back the previous unfavorable battle report, he has no idea that the soldiers and horses he sent have been driven back to Busan, and he is still obsessed with conquering North Korea. Daming, when the time comes, the capital of the Ming Dynasty will be given to the emperor, and he will go to settle in Ningbo.

It is impossible to know why Toyotomi Hideyoshi fell in love with Ningbo, but after learning the most real battle situation in the past few months from Hideyoshi, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's face became more and more gloomy.

"Xiaoxi and Kato are dead? One hundred thousand warriors lost to Daming?"

"Impossible, it's impossible!"

The increasingly old Toyotomi Hideyoshi stood up angrily, walked up to Xiusheng and grabbed him: "Tell me what you said is false, Daming has already lost, right? They are here to seek peace." right?"

"Father, we are indeed"

"Don't call me father!"

Toyotomi Hideyoshi pushed Xiusheng away, and then clenched his fists viciously: "I don't have a useless son like you. My son should be a warrior, not a coward who escaped."

"I don't believe it, I don't believe Daming can beat me, I want to increase troops, yes, I can increase troops, the Tokugawa family still has troops, let him also lead troops to conquer North Korea!"

Looking at his father with a cold and angry expression, Xiu Sheng remembered some rumors from before.It is said that his father's temper has become more and more strange over the years, and sometimes he can't even speak clearly.

The unparalleled father who was like a war god in the past is now old.

The old ones began to appear sick, and they were always immersed in fantasies.

After all, Hashiba Hidekatsu couldn't bear it, and immediately persuaded him: "Father, you must understand that old guy Tokugawa Ieyasu has never surrendered to you sincerely. If you can't control the situation and force him to send troops, it is very dangerous. Behavior."

The truth is very straightforward, Hashiba Hidekatsu understands it, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi understands it even more.So after being manic for a while, Toyotomi Hideyoshi also fell silent.

He's only become less sober because of his desire for power, but not to the point of being stupid.

My confidants were either killed in battle or trapped in Busan, and the direct troops that can be mobilized now may be less than [-].

After a long silence, Toyotomi Hideyoshi said, "Da Mingyi and envoys, what kind of conditions did they bring?"
