I didn't pay attention to it at first, but when Tokugawa Ieyasu reacted, his cruelty was spread everywhere in the island country. Among those rumors, Tokugawa Ieyasu seemed to have become a bloodthirsty tyrant. As long as those who opposed him were defeated by him, there would be no
A good ending. Not even the families of those who opposed it were spared.
You must know that island countries generally do not defeat enemies and confiscate their homes and exterminate their families. After all, they are all daimyo under the nominal ruler, the emperor, and most of the daimyo are families that have ruled the fief for several generations.
The other is waxing and waning. Today you gain the upper hand, but tomorrow he will gain the upper hand. No one wants to do too much.
In fact, Tokugawa Ieyasu actually abided by this unspoken rule. Even his biggest opponent, Kagekatsu Kamigami, did not kill Kagekatsu Kamikachi after he was defeated by him. He only swallowed the power of Kamikaze Kagekatsu and reduced the power of others.
Fiefdom. But rumors spread all over the world. In the minds of many people, Tokugawa Ieyasu is already a bloodthirsty demon king!
After Tokugawa Ieyasu reacted, he immediately put an end to those rumors, and even used severe punishment. Anyone who dared to spread rumors would be punished without mercy. Unfortunately, although this measure temporarily stopped some rumors, as a result, he was once again pro-army captain
The government used Tokugawa Ieyasu's use of severe punishment as evidence of his bloodthirsty mania.
At this time, it was unclear whether Tokugawa Ieyasu jumped into the Yellow River. Other daimyo had been in contact with Tokugawa Ieyasu. At first, they did not really believe those rumors, but the rumors spread more and more, especially among the pro-military captains.
He secretly assassinated several small princes who once opposed Tokugawa Ieyasu and were later conquered. After that, all those big names were involved, so he had to believe those rumors!
The daimyo from all over the island country suddenly discovered that those of them who were not as powerful as Tokugawa Ieyasu were very likely to follow the path of the assassinated daimyo. They all rushed forward one by one, and then those daimyo who were relatively powerful came one after another.
Running around, contacting allies.
In just a few days, many daimyo suddenly formed an alliance. Although the strength of those daimyo was not as strong as Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had inherited most of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's power, when these daimyo united, their power was not weak.
Kawa Ieyasu discovered to his great headache that he had become the target of public criticism and everyone's opponent.
This is what Zeng Yi and others hoped for. Seeing that the island country developed as they wanted, they finally felt relieved, "Now, Tokugawa Ieyasu can no longer easily unify the island country!"
"That's not necessarily the case. Although those daimyo are united and their strength is not weak, there is no way for those daimyo to unite as one, and there are many conflicts between them. With Tokugawa Ieyasu's ability, it is not too difficult to divide and disintegrate them.
It just takes a little longer!"
Zeng Yi heard this and smiled: "Who will care about the situation in the island country in the future? As long as they continue to be chaotic in the near future, it will be fine."
...
As Zeng Yi and others suspected, Tokugawa Ieyasu, although it was a headache at first, he quickly came up with countermeasures to divide and disintegrate the alliances of those daimyo. Tokugawa Ieyasu inherited most of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's power and controlled
Taking the big board to a large area in the island country of Kyoto, it can be said that he held the emperor in power to command the princes, occupy the great cause, and began to win over some daimyo in the daimyo alliance in various names. Specifically in the name of the emperor, he granted some territory to those daimyo, among which
Many floor shops are still sites controlled by other daimyo.
Although the strategy was simple, it was really effective. Many daimyo knew it was a conspiracy, but they couldn't bear the temptation of the land. They even usurped the territory that originally belonged to their allies, making it impossible for the alliance to unite. On the other hand, Tokugawa Ieyasu also
He began to send out heavy troops to besiege and eliminate those powerful daimyo.
Fortunately, there are still a few powerful daimyo in the alliance such as Ishida Mitsunari who were not fooled. After Tokugawa Ieyasu sent troops, they immediately jointly sent troops to deal with it. Suddenly the island nation returned to the Warring States Period.
Time flies so fast. Some time has passed since Zeng Yi entered North Korea under the island country plan. According to the calculations of Zeng Yi and others, the Central Plains Dynasty and the emperor are really running out of time. In order for the little princess to succeed to the throne smoothly,
, the Northern Army must be allowed to land on the island country as soon as possible.
For this reason, Zeng Yi made a special trip back to the capital to report the situation in which the island country had completely fallen into melee to the old prince and others in detail. At the same time, he explained that this was the best time to send troops. If it dragged on, once Tokugawa
Ieyasu slowly gains the upper hand. With Tokugawa Ieyasu gaining strength, the war will soon calm down. When the time comes, we will send out troops, and we will face the entire island nation!
Sending troops to log in is not such a simple matter. After all, it is the last bit of food stored in the Central Plains. If the estimated goal cannot be achieved, the Central Plains will be in big trouble! After listening to Zeng Yi’s report, the old prince immediately recruited
The big guys in the DPRK.
In fact, these people have already reached a consensus that they must send troops. After all, this is the only way to get a lot of money at present. If they don't send troops, the court will really have no money to spend!
The big bosses are not discussing whether to send troops, but directly discuss when to send troops and where to log in.
"According to the intelligence from the pro-military captain's house, this is indeed the most suitable opportunity to send troops." Guo Juxia looked at Zeng Yi and others and said.
"Although Tokugawa Ieyasu is the leader in strength, the other daimyo are not without their strength to fight. Wouldn't it be better to wait until both of them are hurt before sending troops?" the old eunuch of Dongchang said with a frown.
"Father, you don't understand the situation. Those daimyo alliances may not seem weak, but in fact they are just a loose sand. There are also many contradictions in the alliance. If a few core daimyo are defeated by Tokugawa Ieyasu, the alliance will disappear in an instant.
!There will be no lose-lose situation at all!" Zeng Yi quickly explained.
After hearing Zeng Yi's words, the old eunuch said nothing. After a moment, Zhuge Shenhou said: "Since everyone has no objection to sending troops now, let's discuss the specific location of the island country. The island country is not small in size and is in the middle of the war.
During the Warring States Period, there were many famous names. Who should be the main target and where to register are questions."
The old prince nodded and looked at Zeng Yi again, "You are the most familiar with the situation in the island country. Do you have any opinions?"
Zeng Yi looked at Shaotian and said, "Our opinion is to target Tokugawa Ieyasu!"
"Tokugawa Ieyasu, isn't he the most powerful daimyo?" (To be continued)
