One hundred and ninety-four, he is destined to find no one who can read
The general content of the letter translated by the merchant is as follows.
Give advice to the Eastern clown Hideyoshi.
You are cruel and unkind, Yelang is arrogant and starts the war. He uses a ruthless army to attack a country with a Taoist, destroy its three capitals, burn its eight roads, destroy its troops, kill its people, seize the money and goods of its prefectures and counties, burn, kill, loot, and commit all kinds of evil deeds. The Korean elders have suffered for a long time, and they hope that the future of the Great Ming army is like a long drought and awesome rain.
When the heavenly soldiers arrived, Pyongyang was determined in one battle, Kaicheng was determined in two battles, and Seoul was determined in three battles, and completely wiped out 100,000 troops from Immortality. The sharpness of the heavenly soldiers was unfavorable, all of which were caused by your unfaithful morality! Today, 100,000 soldiers gathered in Busan, and all of your remnants were given heads. Your navy was sinking to the bottom of the sea and buried in the fish belly. The heavenly soldiers set sail on an expedition, arrived day and night, attacking your homeland, destroying your country, like taking things out, wishing you to do it yourself, bind yourself and surrender to avoid the suffering of the war.
The Ming Dynasty Admiral Ji Liao, Baoding Shandong and other places, Xiao Ruxun, the general of defending the sea and defending the Japanese.
The merchant trembled in a more popular Japanese language to explain the meaning of this letter to Hideyoshi Toyotomi. After a brief explanation, Hideyoshi Toyotomi kept looking at him with a strange look, then reached out to take the letter, waved his hand and cut off the merchant's head, and then reached out to hand the letter to a monk.
"You say!"
The monk was so scared that he was out of his mind. He just kept kowtowing and begging for mercy. Toyotomi Hideyoshi lost his patience, waved his hand and handed the letter to another monk.
"You say!"
The monk was relatively quiet and did not scream like the rest of the people. After taking the letter, he looked at it, raised his head and said, "Taige, this is a letter from Xiao Ruxun, the general of the Japanese in the Ming Dynasty, the admiral of Ji Liao, Baoding and Shandong, etc. The one who attacked Minghu's house should be Ming..."
Before he finished speaking, another knife was taken.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi wiped his knife and complained to the inexplicable guards beside him: "What should I do? I can't even find a literate person?! It's obviously a rebel but I can see it as a Ming army! It's ridiculous! Go and look for it again! If you can't find it, just say!"
The guard was shocked and immediately rushed out, rolling and crawling, in a mess. Only Toyotomi Hideyoshi was left in the hall. Looking at the letters in his hand, ignoring the corpses everywhere, and muttering - there was no one who could read.
He is destined to be unable to find someone to read.
Tokugawa Ieyasu and Kuroda Rumizu were much more rational here. They got very accurate news that it was not Toyotomi Hideji and Maeda Taki, who attacked Nagoya. The frustrated duo was probably crying in a place in the capital, and had no intention of rebelling. The attack on Nagoya was the enemy they least wanted to encounter - the Ming army.
The Ming army navy, hundreds of outrageous warships scattered across the sea near Nagoya, and from time to time, they bombarded Nagoya Castle, causing panic in Nagoya. Even a force was sent to attack Nagoya. Thousands of troops outside the city were defeated before not long after they persisted. The corpses were everywhere. After the Ming army fought, they easily retreated and wrote a letter to Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The content of the letter was not clear yet.
However, reason does not mean not being afraid. Tokugawa Ieyasu hates things that cannot be controlled by them. Whether it is a friend or an enemy, everything that exceeds his control will be his fearful object. He will try every means to get rid of him. However, the object he encountered this time is an existence that he cannot get rid of no matter what, or even dare not take action.
The Ming army and the Ming Empire behind him.
Tokugawa Ieyasu's face turned purple, and he couldn't help but turn his attention to his think tank.
The rare military advisor's lips were trembling, perhaps thinking of his eldest son who died tragically in North Korea, or perhaps thinking of the artillery fire of the Ming army, he instinctively realized that the day before this big operation was about to be carried out, the invasion of the Ming army would completely disrupt his original foolproof arrangement, and his arrangement would completely turn into ashes with the Ming army's artillery fire.
"Since the Ming army has arrived, it proves that Kyugi Kalong is finished, and the last troops in Busan are also finished. The Ming army has completely recovered North Korea, and the Ukita Hidea and the others are completely finished. All the direct descendants of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's men, including Tsushima, may have been occupied by the Ming army. We have lost 150,000 elite soldiers and tens of thousands of young and strong civilians."
With his lips trembling, the rare military advisor tried his best to maintain the function of his brain and exercised his responsibilities.
Tokugawa Ieyasu swallowed, and found that things were developing beyond his imagination.
"Did the Ming Congress officially attack Japan?"
Tokugawa Ieyasu is most concerned about this issue.
The rare military advisor was stunned again. After a while, when Tokugawa Ieyasu could not help but ask again, Kuroda Rushui slowly shook his head. Tokugawa Ieyasu felt relieved, thinking that Kuroda Rushui would say no, but Kuroda Rushui blurted out that he didn't know.
"I don't know, I don't know what the letter said. Today's attack is probably just a warning, or... a temptation, testing our strength and the strength of Nagoya. The Ming army's fleet did not leave is a proof that they may continue to shell and continue to attack, and seize a certain port around as a military port to station troops. If the Ming army's ships remain, it means they are ready to attack."
"Taige has completely angered Ming Dynasty, right? Is the Ming Dynasty's crazy revenge right?"
Tokugawa Ieyasu could not control his fear.
"I don't know, I don't know. Judging from the current situation, if the Ming Dynasty wants to formally attack, it is absolutely impossible for only a few hundred ships, and more ships will come. We cannot resist the Ming army's artillery at all. We can only retreat and cannot fight naval battles. Our ships cannot be equipped with artillery at all, but the Ming army's ships are full of artillery and will be sunk before they can be fought."
Kurota Rushui's mood was in chaos.
"Then our plan... no... what should we do? Taigao will definitely let us go to Nagoya to assist in defense! What should we do?"
Tokugawa Ieyasuka did not want to fight with the Ming army or had conflicts with the Ming army. He just had the ambition to replace Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but he did not have the ambition to covet the mainland. He also knew very well that attacking the mainland was definitely a way to die. Japan could not annex the Ming Dynasty at all, so he could not even think about it.
"We...we can only respond to changes in the same way. We know too little information and cannot analyze it at all. What the Ming army wants to do. We have to send people to understand, and also know what Hideyoshi thinks..."
Kuroda Rusui couldn't continue to say it anymore. He was in a mess and could not make the most accurate judgment. This was also the scene that Tokugawa Ieyasu wanted to see the least. He was not good at dealing with emergencies. He needed someone to analyze and help him plan for him, help him make plans, and then deal with it slowly. He devoted a lot of time to ensure his big victory.
"In just a quarter of an hour, the Ming army defeated more than 2,000 Taige people, and they had so many artillery. I would never allow my subordinates to fight with the Ming army, absolutely not!"
Although Tokugawa Ieyasu doesn’t know how to deal with the matter in front of him, one bottom line must be adhered to, that is, his own strength will never be greatly damaged, especially when such a strong enemy is coming.
"Shika Guitar will soon remember you, and will soon let you enter Nagoya to help, and you can know this without considering it."
Kuroda Rushui suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly: "The 150,000 elite Western Army soldiers are over. We have lost half of our military strength. Hideyoshi wants to bring in 100,000 Eastern Army soldiers to be buried with him. The entire Japan will be destroyed by him. With the combat effectiveness of the Ming army and the population of the Ming country, as long as they are willing, it is not difficult to occupy the entire Japan."
"What if we contact Mingguo directly?"
Tokugawa Ieyasu suddenly said something that Kuroda Rushui could not ignore, but Kuroda Rushui thought that such words would not be said from Tokugawa Ieyasu's mouth.
