two hundred and fifty-four
Japan once again experienced a baptism of blood. Finally, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a general under Oda Nobunaga, led the army to kill Akechi Mitsuhide and became the actual ruler of Japan during this period.
Next, let’s take a closer look at Toyotomi Hideyoshi. In 1536, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was born in a peasant family in Owari, a vassal state of Japan. Later, because he had no food to eat and no clothes to cover his body, he became a farmer.
So he chose to be a soldier, and then started as a small soldier. At least he could fill his stomach, right? Toyotomi Hideyoshi was also very brave in battle, so he was favored by Oda Nobunaga and became his bodyguard.
After that, Toyotomi Hideyoshi followed Oda Nobunaga in the north and south, and made great military exploits, and was eventually reused by Oda Nobunaga. After putting down the rebellion of Akechi Mitsuhide, Toyotomi Hideyoshi used the banner of supporting the emperor.
, led the 200,000 troops left by Oda Nobunaga at this time, and after eight years of hard fighting, he finally put down another rebellion in various parts of Japan and completed the unification of Japan!
In fact, these rebellions in Japan were born because of the interests of a few people at the top, or a group of people. In short, the people who suffer first are always the people. The situation of the people in Japan during the war is actually almost the same as that of the people in the war in Western countries.
It's exactly the same situation, with no clothes to cover the body and no food to eat.
So after reunification, this is still a relatively good thing for the Japanese people, but this requires Japan's top management not to be so corrupt. If Japan's top management is still rotten, or extravagant,
, in terms of excessive debauchery, in fact, the Japanese people still live a life without enough food and clothing. We can even say that although most Japanese people believe in Buddhism, Buddhism is just a spiritual pursuit of beauty.
, this kind of spiritual pursuit is certainly good and can purify a person's inner world, but what should we humans say? In fact, there is nothing when we are born, and it will eventually be affected by the environment in this world. In short, the concepts of money and force
, is far more powerful than this pure Buddhist concept. Therefore, although Japan was unified at this time, it was similar to Western countries. The farmers' life was actually not good at all. It can be said that although the farmers were not as good as in the eyes of Japanese senior officials
It's the kind of talking tool, but it's just about the same.
Now we can say that Toyotomi Hideyoshi has completely unified Japan, but he also likes power. Power has a certain magic power and can attract anyone to pursue it religiously. So far Toyotomi Hideyoshi also wants to use a
There was a legitimate way to rule the entire Japan at this time. After all, Toyotomi Hideyoshi also felt that Japan was conquered by himself, so it should be ruled. Therefore, Toyotomi Hideyoshi issued an order at this time to gather all the skilled craftsmen from all over Japan to the capital.
Because of the long war, the Japanese capital at this time had long been in ruins. At this point, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's current idea was to build a magnificent capital first. A few years later, the new capital was finally built.
, Toyotomi Hideyoshi also built a mansion for himself in the new luxurious capital, named Juletei.
The next day, Toyotomi Hideyoshi invited the emperor, queen and princes to Juleti, and then ordered the daimyo of the country. The daimyo is the princes, so here we can understand that Toyotomi Hideyoshi gave the order to the princes of all Japan.
They met with the Emperor, the Empress and the princes. At this time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was wearing gold-embroidered clothes and led the civil and military officials and princes to visit the Emperor. In fact, at this time, the Emperor already knew very well that Toyotomi Hideyoshi was now powerful.
After all, the emperor himself was just a puppet controlled by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. At this time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi actually just wanted to use the name of the emperor to intimidate the princes. After the emperor understood all this, he named Toyotomi Hideyoshi the
Guan Bai.
What does the word "Guanbai" mean in Japanese? I looked it up, and oh yes, I suddenly remembered that it means prime minister. At this time, after the princes paid homage to the emperor, Toyotomi Hideyoshi used the word "Guanbai" in Japan.
The identity issued the first order: From now on, we must support the emperor wholeheartedly and obey Guan Bai. The meaning of this sentence is actually very clear. Even a fool can understand it, so Japan
The princes immediately understood that the emperor was just a puppet of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. So Toyotomi Hideyoshi proudly began to banquet the ministers, which lasted for five days. This was simply bigger than the previous emperors.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi was actually quite different from Oda Nobunaga. He believed that Catholicism was a foreign religion, and those who believed in foreign religions would be controlled by foreigners, so he immediately ordered all missionaries in Japan to be driven away.
, they also destroyed all the churches and so on, and then forced Christians to convert to Buddhism, because Toyotomi Hideyoshi always believed that Buddhism was their native religion in Japan. This was mainly due to the reality of the transportation industry in Toyotomi Hideyoshi's era.
It is underdeveloped, and Japan's historical records may be missing, but there is another situation. I am just guessing. Let's discuss it together.
My point of view is that Toyotomi Hideyoshi actually just fought a lifetime of wars. He did not have any cultural level, and it was impossible to look at Japan's previous historical records. Therefore, in the end, Toyotomi Hideyoshi may be illiterate, and Buddhism is very important in Japan.
It has lasted for thousands of years, so at this time Toyotomi Hideyoshi believed that Buddhism was their native religion in Japan. This is not strange at all, but I think this is very normal.
So now after Toyotomi Hideyoshi forced everyone to convert to Buddhism, he issued another order as Guan Bai: In order to promote Buddhism, I decided to cast a giant Buddha. Therefore, the people must remove the knives, guns, etc. from their homes
The weapons were handed over to the government for the purpose of casting the Buddha. The deadline was thirty days, and those who disobeyed the order were severely punished. In fact, it is not difficult to see from this that Toyotomi Hideyoshi actually used the excuse of casting the Buddha, but he was actually afraid of this time.
The Japanese people rebelled, so we just took away the weapons in the hands of the people.
Of course, if analyzed from this perspective, it is not difficult for us to analyze that in fact, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's rule was very violent. Otherwise, why would he be afraid of the Japanese people's rebellion? Be kind to the people, and the people will rebel.
? So we come to the final conclusion. In fact, at this time, although the Japanese people had a stable life after the unification of Japan, they were still not living well. Although Toyotomi Hideyoshi was born as a farmer, he arrived
After he became a high-ranking official, he still ignored the Japanese farmers at all, but in fact, no matter what, it seems that this matter should develop in this form. It seems that anyone in our world will have such a change.
.
Let's take an example. For example, in our rural areas in China, everyone is basically equal. But if one day one of the farmers has a lot of money, we don't care how he got the money. In short,
We only need to understand that once a person in this family has a lot of money, he will have a feeling in his heart that he is superior to others, and then he will look down on others, in any case, he will look down on those farmers who have less money than him. In short,
If we really want to analyze this kind of thing, I think it is easy to find the source, because this is what our human ancestors left deep in our DNA and genetic memory.
Now we also know that even though Japan has been unified at this time, the common people are still not living well because of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's rule. Therefore, Toyotomi Hideyoshi is not good to the common people, and the common people are not satisfied with Toyotomi.
Under Hideyoshi’s rule, it’s a pity that the current Japanese civilians don’t even have weapons. This seems to be the same as our modern China, but the lives of our Chinese civilians may not be as bad as the lives of Japanese civilians at this time? So currently our Chinese
The civilians' rebellion was only small-scale, but in Japan there were more people rebelling at this time, and there were also princes in their country. These princes were also very unhappy with Toyotomi Hideyoshi, so there was a small friction, but this friction was not
It was so big that the people had no weapons, so how could we fight? So in short, there was no large-scale death.
Ultimately, we can say that Toyotomi Hideyoshi is now the de facto sole ruler of Japan. During the previous eight years of the Japanese Civil War, he also felt that the other Japanese princes were simply vulnerable, so his ambitions began to expand.
, thinking that North Korea and China are actually as vulnerable as the princes in Japan. So he planned to send troops to occupy North Korea first, and then start from North Korea to occupy China, and then directly move the capital of Japan.
Go to Beijing, China, and then start from Beijing, China, and then conquer India, and then slowly and slowly rule the entire human world.
And Toyotomi Hideyoshi is not the kind of person who thinks about it but doesn't do it. He will really take concrete actions for his own ideas. If Toyotomi Hideyoshi is not willing to take concrete actions for his own ideas, in fact,
It was impossible for him to have the status he has in Japan today. Therefore, in 1591, Toyotomi Hideyoshi assembled more than 200,000 Japanese troops and more than 700 warships, and brazenly launched a war of aggression against Korea.
.
What should we say at this time? Let's put it this way. In fact, North Korea is close to China, and the character of our Chinese people is completely different from that of people in Western countries. Our character is the kind of people who do not offend us.
, I don’t offend people’s character, and I don’t mean to beat others or kill others inexplicably because of their own selfishness. We Chinese generally do not do this, but except for special circumstances, after all, I am not saying that we
Chinese people are all good people, and there are definitely some bad people, and there are many, many more. However, it is precisely because we Chinese have better tempers and more good people, which means North Korea is close to us, and this is already
There has been no war for hundreds of years. What kind of concept is this? In fact, it is not difficult to imagine that North Koreans have probably forgotten how wars are fought now, right?
