Nickname: Monkey and Bald (all given by Oda Nobunaga.)
Originally from the lower class of Japan, he did not deserve even his surname. His real name was Riyoshimaru. He was not until after getting married and got married, he was renamed Kishita Fujiro. Because his biological father was seriously injured and died in battle when he was young, his mother remarried and was beaten and excluded by his stepfather. He often had a full meal and starved for three meals. This also led to Riyoshimaru's poor development since childhood. Even after becoming an adult, he still looked short and hunched.
So, in this long-term disagreement of stepfather and son, Riyoshimaru chose to run away from home and wandered around Ohara, Sankawa and Suruga in Japan. He relied on the rice balls he got from begging for some trivial things, and then exchanged these trivial things for "muscle stitches", and discovered business opportunities from it, and continued to resell needles and threads, and obtained the first pot of gold in his life.
A few years later, a small amount of silver foil was accumulated (there was no common currency during the Warring States Period in Japan, and it was basically the original exchange for goods, while gold foil and silver foil were already the most extensive hard currency at that time)
With these silver foils, he bribed the local wealthy Masaoka Masaoka of Suka, and with his recommendation, he entered the home of the high samurai Matsushita Kabukie and started working as a servant. His first formal job was to carry shoes to others...
That's right...
Just carry shoes!
When Matsushita Kabukie needed to go out, he called Hiyoshimaru his name. Hiyoshimaru had to come with his shoes as soon as his master called him, and put them on his own...
If Liu Bei and Liu Xuande were in a downfall, he weaved mats and sold shoes...
At this time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was not even selling shoes. He was just a slave who carried shoes and warmed his feet...
But even in such a job, Toyotomi Hideyoshi still did a lot of fun. Every winter, he put his master's shoes in his arms to keep warm with his body temperature. Every summer, he cleaned his shoes and drove away the heat. His long-term diligence and intelligence finally moved Matsushita Kabukie and helped him manage his accounts at home.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Because of his excessive diligence and seriousness, he was eventually jealous and slandered by other servants.
Although Matsushita Kabukie also believed in Hiyoshimaru's character and was unmoved, the whole family's words were unanimous and they all resisted. In the end, Matsushita Kabukie had to explain the whole story with kind words and fired him.
In 1554, Hiyoshimaru, who was only seventeen years old, returned to his birthplace Ohara again, and joined the command of Oda Nobunaga, who was named "Ohara Dasha X" at that time, and became a lowest-level soldier. He was "light" to put it bluntly, he had to do everything, and if he couldn't do it well, he would wait for beheading his head...
However, Hiyoshimaru, who fell to the bottom again, relied on his intelligence and diligence to attract the attention of the master family again, and was voted as a lower-level samurai by Oda Nobunaga, who never paid attention to the etiquette and law class, and thus embarked on his career.
First, he participated in the joint battle between Turksama as the leader of the squad. Due to his proper squadron and repeated military achievements, he was appointed by Oda Nobunaga to marry his adopted daughter, and was officially renamed to Fuji Yoshiro Kinishi.
Later, when Oda Nobunaga defeated Saito Yoshiro many times, he was ordered to be in danger. With the help of his old friend Masao Hisuka, he built a city siege on the strategic land in just one night. He quickly made a giant frame facing the enemy, covered it with paper and stroked it, creating the illusion of casting a city overnight, scaring away the enemy soldiers and getting promoted again.
And Toyotomi Hideyoshi's ambition began to emerge...
First, with the ceremony of visiting the thatched cottage, Shigeji Takenaka, one of the few genius military advisors in Japan, took advantage of the prestige of this military advisor to surrender three important officials of Mino, which eventually led to the defeat of the king of Mino, Saito Ryuki, which made Ozawa annex Mino, and himself became a hot important official under Oda Nobunaga and helped him gradually realize his great wish of "the world's martial arts".
But……
Just as Oda Nobunagakura was proud and watching his generals and retainers defeat one powerful enemy after another, he died at the hands of his retainers...
indeed……
Akichi Mitsuhide had enough reason to kill him. After all, Oda Nobunaga not only humiliated Akichi Mitsuhide in front of everyone many times, but also when Akichi Mitsuhide persuaded him to surrender, he still ordered the execution of Hatano Hideji who came to apologize and surrender, causing Akichi Mitsuhide's mother to be killed by the angry Hatano tribe.
but……
Did Akichi Mitsuhide really get rid of the once-superior "Sixth Heavenly Demon King" with just his own strength? (Oda Nobunaga's self-proclaimed title, now I know why he was called Ohara Dasha before...)
There are too many doubts...
First of all, among Oda Nobunaga's retainers, except Oda Nobunaga himself, everyone knew how deep Akichi Mitsuhide hatred Oda Nobunaga, but Toyotomi Hideyoshi was advancing all the way and the war was obviously favorable. He wrote a letter to Oda Nobunaga for help, and named it and recommended Akichi Mitsuhide as the main general. This is a doubt. (The oral rumor of unofficial history, the real letter has long disappeared.)
Then, before the Honnoji Incident, when the war situation was obviously superior, envoys were sent to negotiate with the Maori family. This is the second question.
The most suspicious thing is the process of Toyotomi Hideyoshi leading his troops to defeat Akichi Mitsuhide...
It is reasonable to suddenly return to the army and catch it off guard. However, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's army has already reached the city, but Akichi Mitsuhide still did not take any defensive arrangements and was defeated in one day! This is the third question!
All signs combined together can make a bold inference...
That is, Akichi Mitsuhide and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, they had planned to collude!
But Akichi Mitsuhide ended up being the stepping stone for this conspiracy, helping Toyotomi Hideyoshi pick the final fruit of victory, and his life and truth have been forever submerged in the long river of history, and there is no way to know...
This... is the enemy Yan Bing is about to face...
Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the actual ruler of Japan who is insidious, vicious, cunning and untrustworthy!
Fortunately, Yan Bing, who is familiar with world history, has already read about this person's deeds and life in the book. Even if he can't guess ten points, he can guess eight or nine points.
However, Zheng Mengzhou, a wise minister of Goryeo, who is also this era, knows very little...
Although he had long heard of the treason of the Japanese, he still did not fully understand the fact that this meeting was like "striving a tiger with a tiger"...
