In fact, Shaantian knew that this information had not been blocked for long. He had just returned from the eastern coastal area. This time he went to the coastal area. What Shaantian gained was actually very good. What he was originally worried about was the naval forces who had never expressed their stance.
, finally came into contact, although the navy still did not express its position, but it did not object to the identity of the little princess's heir. In general, the navy remained neutral as before.
Although Zeng Yi and others were not satisfied with the navy's attitude, they did not find it unacceptable. As long as the navy did not explicitly oppose the little princess, it was still acceptable to them.
"Although the naval forces are united, they are actually different internally. The Dengzhou navy is relatively friendly to us, while the southern navy is more indifferent."
"That's fine, but to be on the safe side, the Navy still needs to find ways to distract them, especially the Southern Navy. If something unexpected happens, it will be in trouble!"
"Don't worry too much about this. The situation in the island country is expected to be chaotic again soon. By then, for the sake of money, the old prince will probably agree to send troops. To send troops to the island country, the navy will have enough work!"
...
The four of them, Huantian, left the yamen of the Pro-jun Duwei Mansion, and ran to the old prince's mansion. When they saw the people waiting in the old prince's mansion, the five of them knew that it was most likely because of the island country's affairs.
They are all acquaintances, people who are engaged in intelligence.
After waiting for a while, the old prince came back. Everyone immediately stood up to see the old prince. The old prince waved his hand, sat down, was silent for a moment, and said: "Compared to the Korean War, you should also know better, right? At present, the Japanese pirates in North Korea have basically
Destroyed."
Everyone looked at each other and nodded. The old prince looked at Zeng Yi and others, "I just got information that there is a problem with the island nation Toyotomi Hideyoshi due to the defeat in the Korean War."
Seeing what the old prince said and listening to what he said, Shan Tian immediately stood up and said: "Toyotomi Hideyoshi had a physical problem and passed out in anger. The island country that has become calm now has signs of chaos again...
"
After hearing what Shaantian said, everyone present smiled. Guo Juxia smiled: "This is a good thing. The island country basically doesn't have to deal with them anymore!"
Zhuge Shenhou continued what Guo Juxia said: "Not only do we no longer need to care about the island country, but this is also an opportunity for us!"
Everyone knew what Zhuge Shenhou meant. Zeng Yi came up with the idea to attack the island country at that time, and these people were all present.
The old prince nodded, "This is indeed a good opportunity, but the island country is not weak. We need to understand the situation of the island country's forces!"
Everyone looked at Zeng Yi and the others. The pro-military governor's office was responsible for overseas intelligence. Everyone wanted to know whether the pro-military governor's office had figured out the major forces in the island country.
In fact, the pro-military governor's office knew a lot about the major forces in the island country. Especially after Zeng Yi came up with the idea, the pro-military governor's office deliberately began to collect intelligence on the island country.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi unified the island country, and the daimyo from all over the island country basically surrendered to surrender. Except for the strength of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, in fact, the strength of the daimyo in various places is not as good as before. Even if Toyotomi Hideyoshi is now unconscious, his power is
Even if it collapses, it will still be the absolute most powerful force in the island country.
"Through the unification of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the daimyo in various places have basically been eliminated. If the island country is in chaos again, it is very likely that it is actually a civil war between Toyotomi Hideyoshi's forces. And Toyotomi Hideyoshi's forces are currently mainly controlled by five people. It is Toyotomi
Hideyoshi’s top five men!"
After hearing these words, the old prince became interested, "Five big guys? Tell us about these five people in detail!"
Zeng Yi hurriedly said: "Inner Minister Tokugawa Ieyasu, Otani Toshiie Maeda, Nakatoshi Mouri Terumoto, Nakatoshi Kagekatsu Uesugi, Nakatoshi Ukita Hideie, and among them, Ukita Hideie was defeated in the Korean War.
, It’s basically over, don’t worry about him at all.” Ukita Hideie was originally one of the top five figures among the five, but unfortunately he lost the Korean War and basically lost the opportunity to compete for the island nation.
Zeng Yi paused for a moment, took a sip of tea and continued: "Among the remaining people, Tokugawa Ieyasu is the most powerful. Tokugawa Ieyasu's original surname was Matsudaira, but he later changed his surname to Tokugawa by decree. After the Battle of Okehazama, he and Oda
Nobunaga formed an alliance. After the Honnoji Incident, he first became hostile to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and then was forced to surrender to him due to the situation. After the Battle of Odawara, Hideyoshi moved him to Kanto. Although he lost his base for many years, he gained support under the Toyotomi regime.
The largest territory among the foreign daimyo. Serves as the pen head of the five great elders."
"This guy was quite lucky. When Toyotomi Hideyoshi conquered Kyushu, Tokugawa Ieyasu was not drafted and escaped a huge loss. But he participated in the battle during the expedition to Odawara Castle. After the demise of the Hojo clan, Tokugawa Ieyasu was granted the title of
The annual tribute of 600,000 koku in the eight states of Kanto. Later, before the island country invaded Korea with force, Tokugawa Ieyasu left the five countries and moved to Edo. After that, he took a series of measures to fully manage Kanto. His strength gradually became the strongest among Toyotomi Hideyoshi's forces.
A powerful presence exists!
"As for the other people, none of them are as powerful as Tokugawa Ieyasu, but because Tokugawa Ieyasu is too powerful, a few of them actually have a faint tendency to cooperate against Tokugawa Ieyasu! And besides these people, there is also Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
A die-hard subordinate, Ishida Mitsunari. After meeting Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the lord of Omi-Nagahama Castle, at the age of fifteen, this guy became his valet. He was loved by Hideyoshi for his handsome appearance and quick thinking. He took charge of the state affairs as the head of the five ministers.
, rose to prominence as a confidant promoted by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and displayed outstanding leadership skills in domestic affairs and military supplies. However, this guy had a huge problem, but because he was not good at military command, he was also regarded as a member of the Toyotomi faction.
despised by the generals."
Zeng Yi breathed out all the information he had just seen in the Qinjun Duwei Mansion. After speaking, everyone fell silent, all digesting the information. After a while, the old prince said: "In this way,
Is Tokugawa Ieyasu likely to succeed Toyotomi Hideyoshi to power?"
Zhuge Shenhou shook his head: "It's not that easy. Although Tokugawa Ieyasu is strong, the other big guys are not weak either. If the other big guys unite, they might not be able to defeat Tokugawa Ieyasu!"
Everyone's analysis is correct, but the prerequisite is that Toyotomi Hideyoshi must die. Otherwise, with Toyotomi Hideyoshi here, no matter how great the conflict between these people is, they will not be able to fight for a while! And if the other people cannot cooperate against Germany
If Kawakawa Ieyasu is defeated by Tokugawa Ieyasu one by one, the winner will be Tokugawa Ieyasu in the end. (To be continued)
