Toyotomi Hideyoshi was not clear about the situation on the front line, but he could understand the minimum logistical problem. Even if food and grass can be replenished locally from North Korea, iron cannons and bullets still have to be produced and transported in the country. Domestic resources are becoming increasingly tight, and the people's calls are becoming louder and louder. Some daimyos' warnings are becoming more and more urgent. This is not something that Toyotomi Hideyoshi can deliberately ignore.

He was also thinking about the next trend, at least war requires food and weapons, which is inevitable.

At this moment, Ukita Hidea's letter arrived, which made Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who had been repeatedly swaying in his confidence and actual situation, instantly strengthened his trust in himself, and also made him lose the last chance to wake up from his dream.

He was overjoyed and immediately wrote letters everywhere to the daimyos to show off the achievements of the Ming army's peacekeeping achievements by himself, and then wrote to Ukita Hidea, asking him to provide the Ming army with seven conditions for peacekeeping and hand it over to Governor Konishi for negotiation. None of them could be agreed.

The seven conditions are: First, welcome the Princess Ming as the Japanese Empress; Second, develop the exploration and cooperation trade; Third, tomorrow, the military officers of the two countries will always vow to a good alliance; Fourth, the capital and four roads will return to Korea, and the other four roads will be cedeed to Japan; Fifth, North Korea will send a prince as a hostage; Sixth, the captive two princes of the Korean Kingdom and other Korean officials; Seventh, the Korean ministers will never rebel against Japan.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi said confidently that if you don’t agree, you cannot allow the Ming army to surrender. This time, for their honesty, I don’t want their territory. If you commit another crime next time, you will be beaten until they cede the territory!

When Ukita Hidea received this letter, he almost cried. This was no longer the scope of peace talks. He wanted to force the "defeated" Ming Dynasty to sign the alliance under the city. What's more, President Konishi, who had no idea about life and death, to negotiate, and to ask Emperor Ming's princess to be the Japanese queen... Originally, Ukita Hidea just wanted a decent opportunity to withdraw troops. After the army returned to Japan, the facts were established, Toyotomi Hideaki could only swallow the bitter fruit, not the current situation.

The senior Japanese military officials who saw this letter looked at each other and were stunned. They could not have imagined that the bitter fruit they planted little by little had grown so big that they could not bear it at all, let alone that Governor Xiaoxi was probably dead. Where can I find another "Governor Xiaoxi" to "negotiate"?

The top Japanese troops in Busan were in a collective confusion.

The letters were sent back and forth enough for the spies of the Jinyiwei in Japan to gather together to accept the mission and then began to act separately. Zhou Qi was worried about the special request made by Xiao Ruxun, so he personally took people to the Satsuma family to find Xu Yi, and through the local Chinese trapped in Japan, he really found Xu Yi, who was regarded as a guest of honor by the Shimazu family.

This is a later story, so I won't mention it for now.

The Daming of the East Kingdom received a show-off letter from Toyotomi Hideyoshi. When they opened it, they saw that the front line was in a good situation. The Ming army had been defeated and begged for peace from me! This letter saw the Daming of the East Kingdom who knew the inside story, and it took a while before Tokugawa Ieyasu analyzed that this must be an excuse for the Daming of the West Kingdom to withdraw his troops, and they didn't know what else Toyotomi Hideyoshi wanted to do.

As expected, Tokugawa Ieyasu made the case. Soon, the incident of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's proposal of "Seven Things in the Ming Dynasty for Japanese Friendship" spread throughout Nagoya, greatly soothing the hearts of Nagoya, allowing Toyotomi Hideyoshi to further immerse himself in this wonderful feeling, but it made other clear-headed daimyos begin to question Toyotomi Hideyoshi's mental state.

No matter how you want face, you should realize that something is wrong, right? In this case, is Toyotomi Hideyoshi crazy?

Everyone who realized the seriousness of the problem stared at Tokugawa Ieyasu. Tokugawa Ieyasu, who also realized the seriousness of the problem, narrowed his eyes, and his gloomy eyes made people shudder.

"We will find a reason to visit Taige in the past few days!"

Tokugawa Ieyasu needs to use his own eyes to judge and see something clearly. If he can determine the authenticity of this matter, then he will slap himself hard and then kill Toyotomi Hideyoshi. If he is not sure, he will slap himself hard and continue to be Toyotomi Hideyoshi's dog.

How could a madman be the leader of a million-dollar daimyo? What's more, this madman is joking about the life and death of the entire Japan! If this request is really handed over to the Ming army by someone who is ignorant of the importance, then what awaits them will be the full blow from the old empire, which is not something that the fragile Japan can bear now.

Tokugawa Ieyasu's actions were very fast. He brought several Eastern Daming and brought some precious gifts to visit Tokugawa Hideyoshi. The banner was to congratulate Tokugawa Hideyoshi for defeating Ming Dynasty and winning the war. Tokugawa Hideyoshi was overjoyed and praised Tokugawa Ieyasu and others for "knowing the current affairs" behavior and held a banquet to entertain them.

At the banquet, Tokugawa Ieyasu carefully asked Toyotomi Hideyoshi, saying that since the war was won, would it be better for us to make some requests to Mingguo?

Toyotomi Hideyoshi laughed and said, "That's natural. I asked Emperor Ming to give his daughter to His Majesty the Emperor as the queen, which is to give him face. The two families have a good marriage, so that they can fundamentally prevent the Ming Dynasty from rebelling against us."

Tokugawa Ieyasu was silent for a moment, and then asked Toyotomi Hideyoshi, saying, "How do we ask North Korea for land cedes and compensation?"

Toyotomi Hideyoshi nodded and replied proudly to Tokugawa Ieyasu that he wanted North Korea to ced the four southern routes to Japan and became a springboard for Japan to attack the mainland.

Tokugawa Ieyasu hurriedly asked why he didn't want it all. Toyotomi Hideyoshi mocked Tokugawa Ieyasu for his short vision and said that if North Korea was completely annexed, it would greatly stimulate Akira. The warriors were too tired to fight and needed a rest. Isn't it easy to take down the four southern roads first and wait for the warriors to rest, and directly attack the four northern roads directly?

Tokugawa Ieyasu was silent.

Then another daimyo asked Toyotomi Hideyoshi, saying what if North Korea was not satisfied with this agreement and pretended to surrender and then join forces with the Ming Dynasty to regain its territory?

Toyotomi Hideyoshi mocked again and explained that I also asked North Korea to swear that I would never betray Japan. This is to prevent this. If North Korea vowed to raise an army to attack the four southern roads afterwards, it would just give us a reason to continue the attack. This condition was set up for us to send troops again with excuses. Even if there is no excuse, I cannot send troops, so I have to set an excuse. You are so stupid!

Toyotomi Hideyoshi explained that he did not forget to mock these Eastern Daming's low IQ. Although he was indeed a little angry, Eastern Daming's people still felt that Tokugawa Ieyasu's concerns were reasonable.

Then, Toyotomi Hideyoshi talked endlessly about his mainland strategy, and invited the Emperor to move to Beijing, and lived in Ningbo, annexed the entire Ming Dynasty, and then conquered the whole world. The daimyos of the Eastern Kingdoms applauded and praised them with a smile, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi laughed even more happily.

The banquet ended, and the guests and hosts all enjoyed each other and everyone gathered together.

Back at the residence, looking at the room of Dongguo Daming with different faces, Tokugawa Ieyasu said with a gloomy face: "The situation is already very obvious now. Once the incident in North Korea occurs, Taige will definitely ask us to send troops. He will definitely go to North Korea in person without any advice. What are you going to do then? Let me express my opinion first, I will not send troops, what about you?"

"Won't."

"Won't."

“Absolutely not.”

“Additional…”

…………………………

After making a statement, Tokugawa Ieyasu realized that the time he had been waiting for a long time had come. This battle of North Korea brought destruction to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and perhaps a new life to himself and Japan.
