In the nineteenth year of Wanli, in October of the nineteenth year of Emperor Tensho of Japan, Osaka Castle was the Great Shokaku. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is the residence of Sekihaku Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the centerpiece of the entire Honhon, where all the daimyo and samurai surrendered, and people from remote places such as Saikoku and Kita6 even knelt down from a distance when they saw this magnificent building.

The authority was not because of the majesty of the building itself, but because the owner of the city, a diminutive man, whose enemies often ridiculed him for his peasant origins, his monkey-like appearance, and ridiculed him for being a groom and a handyman for Oda Nobunaga, but he was also the largest army commander under Oda Nobunaga, who once destroyed Akechi Mitsuhide, defeated Shibata Katsuie, forced Hojo Clan to commit suicide, and made Tokugawa Ieyasu sue for peace.

In the 200 years of Japan's Warring States period, the first person to truly unify Japan was Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and the first general who could mobilize and command more than 100,000 troops to fight was also Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was truly a man of the world.

It is an extremely honorable thing to be a samurai in Osaka Castle, and the pride and joy on your face cannot be concealed when you walk in the castle town.

However, since the beginning of the 19th year of Tensho, the faces of the samurai at all levels in Osaka Castle have been very heavy, and many entertainment has stopped, and dignitaries and nobles have to go to other towns to enjoy their sounds, and even the daimyo from all over the world will be told in advance when they come to Osaka Castle, try not to laugh too much, and try not to wear brightly colored clothes.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi's second son Toyotomi Tsurumatsu died of illness at the beginning of the year, Toyotomi Hideyoshi is now the first person in the world, but there are no heirs to inherit his status, the first son Yushiba Hidekatsu died early, and the second son Toyotomi Tsurumatsu did not live past the age of three, which made Toyotomi Hideyoshi heartbroken.

This is privately called "heavenly jealousy" by many shrines and temples, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi has been so lucky to go from a humble farmer to his current status.

Now the bad luck seems to be continuing, after the conquest of the Kantobu Strip, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's younger brother Yamato said that Toyotomi Hidecho is not a sick person, in order to treat him, Toyotomi Hideyoshi let Hidecho come to Osakaju Castle, invited famous doctors from all over the place to diagnose and treat, but there is no way, Toyotomi Hidecho's illness is still getting worse day by day.

The famous doctor of the town gave a diagnosis the day before yesterday, "Toyotomi Hide's time is running out, please prepare for the future, this news makes the gloomy atmosphere of the castle tower even more gloomy."

This morning, the unconscious Toyotomi Hidecho had a rare spirit, and drank a bowl of porridge with the help of the maid, this news is not happy, and people with a little common sense know that this is a return to the light.

After drinking the porridge, Toyotomi Hidecho arranged for someone to invite Toyotomi Hideyoshi over............

"Brother, I have a few words to say to you, let everyone else go down!"

Hideyoshi's face has been thin and out of shape, and there is no trace of blood in the whiteness" Hideyoshi looked at him with concern, raised his hand and waved, with Hideyoshi's movements, the whole room bowed down, and then retreated cautiously, Hideyoshi took a breath, and said weakly: "Brother, everyone should be withdrawn, always be careful." Toyotomi Hideyoshi reached out and patted Hidenaga's hand "It's completely like a shot to the bone, and the voice is an order" I can hear a small sound around the room, and the samurai and ninjas in the secret have left.

"When I was a child, brother, you said that you would be satisfied if you could kit feather weaving outside, but what you are wearing every day now, it is the best silk in the Ming Kingdom, and you have to decorate it with gold flakes on the outside, you don't know if you don't know that the merchants and daimyo in other places in the town are laughing at you, saying that we are farmers who have never seen the world."

Toyotomi Hidecho said with a smile, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's eyes widened, and then he also laughed, and said disdainfully: "How I want to wear it is how to wear it, it's not their turn to make irresponsible remarks, no matter how they wear it, how they know how to enjoy it, they have to kneel in front of me." "Brother Ken'an will be more brilliant in the future, but I can't go down with my brother ......", Toyotomi Hideyoshi moved forward, held Hidenaga's hand, and said with a forced smile: "Don't say such unlucky words, you are my best practice, you are my prime minister, we have to go down together, you have to go to North Korea to be the ...... of North Korea", Toyotomi Hideyoshi after the death of Oda Nobunaga, the more reserved and arrogant, the general daimyo came to see him, he wouldn't even say a few words, but in front of Toyotomi Hidenaga, at this time, But it's a little incoherent.

Hidecho's pale face had a trace of blood, and the hand held by Toyotomi Hideyoshi moved, Toyotomi Hideyoshi immediately stopped talking, and Hidecho's voice was a little higher: "Elder brother, this world has been fighting for too many years, the peasants have not rested, and the samurai are very tired, now that the elder brother has run such a peace, then keep it up, let the world recuperate and recover well, there is nothing on the Korean side, it is not worth the brother's temptation, those maritime merchants in the Ming Kingdom are unreliable!" Speaking of this, Toyotomi Hideyoshi stopped in grief, leaned forward, and said in a deep voice: "Koichiro, the generals and soldiers have made too many meritorious contributions, and there is no longer so much land to be rewarded, only to fight North Korea and Ming Kingdom, so that they can remain loyal, otherwise the world will not be able to sustain it, the bandits in the West still have different intentions, and their strength has not been damaged, I want to throw them all to North Korea and let them fend for themselves." Hidecho took a long breath, looked at the hot-eyed Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and said in a weak voice: "Brother is not satisfied with the world on these three islands, and he has to go to the big 6 to get more land, isn't it, brother, the Maori family in the western country is no longer a disaster, and it is enough to keep the peace there by separating the Yoshikawa and Kobayakawa families elsewhere, brother regrets", Speaking of this, Toyotomi Hidecho did not speak, struggled to look around vigilantly, and said in a low voice: "Brother, are you sure that no one is eavesdropping around?" Toyotomi Hideyoshi frowned and shouted, he heard footsteps on the corridor from a distance, ran over to ask for instructions, Toyotomi Hideyoshi commanded again, the man retreated, the surroundings were silent, only Toyotomi Hideyoshi panted heavily, he stared at Toyotomi Hideyoshi and said: "Brother, the real disaster is not the Western Kingdom, and the real place to use troops is not North Korea, it is Kanto, the person who is the one who has 2.5 million stones in the Eight Kingdoms of Kanto, he is too powerful, he is the real threat to you, brother!" ”

In the end, in terms of Hidenaga's weakness, this sentence was clearly shouting, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's body bent lower, and he unconsciously lowered his voice and said: "I can't move the Tokugawa family now, if I fight with him, I must use all my strength, and the whole world will be in turmoil, and then the Maori family, the Shimazu family, and the Nagamune family will all make trouble......

"Tokugawa Ieyasu is too tolerant, from the time of Nobunaga to the present, the Tokugawa family has been expanding, if my brother wants the stability of the world, he must get rid of it first." , Looking at the eager Toyotomi Hidecho, Hideyoshi showed a sinister smile on his face, patted Hidecho's skinny hand and said, "Don't worry, the samurai of the Eastern Kingdom will also go to Korea, they will all go." ”

Hearing Hideyoshi say this, Hideyoshi's expression suddenly relaxed, the blood on his face quickly subsided, and the eyes that had just been condensed became dim, Toyotomi Hideyoshi clenched Hideyoshi's hand, tears flowed out unconsciously, Hidecho gasped, and his voice became lower and lower: "............ Maeda was a loyal man...... Uesugi is able to ......", as he spoke, he couldn't hear clearly, but his lips were still moving, Toyotomi Hideyoshi leaned over to listen, only to hear Toyotomi Hidecho muttering: "...... The radish rice is so delicious, can you eat it every day in the future", Toyotomi Hideyoshi could no longer control his tears, this sentence was his and Toyotomi Hidecho's experience when they were children, for them at that time, it was a luxury to be able to eat a radish rice.

The samurai on duty in the Osaka Castle Tower suddenly heard a scream from Guan Bai, and they were all in a hurry, and they ran towards that side, just now Toyotomi Hideyoshi drank and ordered them to avoid it, and they were all worried in their hearts, if this matter was known by Yododen, it would really be held accountable, and it would be good if someone would go to the caesarean section.

When the crowd ran there, a samurai cautiously opened the door, but they were actually relieved when they ran here, because they heard Toyotomi Hideyoshi's heart-rending cries.

.................., in October of the 19th year of Wanli, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's younger brother Toyotomi Hidecho died of illness in Osaka Castle, Toyotomi Hidecho was the first-class domestic and military talent under Toyotomi Hideyoshi, compared to the violent and harsh Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the generous Toyotomi Hidecho was the link between the Toyotomi family and the various daimyo below.

Some people say that "the affairs of the family are Rikyu, and the affairs of the public family are Hidecho", but Sen no Rikyu was ordered to commit suicide by caesarean section at the beginning of the year, and Hidecho also died of illness, and the internal and external housekeepers of the Toyotomi family died.

The daimyo who hummed in the world either came to Osaka in person or sent a sufficient amount of envoys from his family to express their condolences and condolences to Lord Sekihaku.

Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was in charge of the vast territories of the Eight Kingdoms of Kanto, was unable to make the trip due to illness, but he also sent his son and family elders to the Kanto, and after the news of Toyotomi Hidenaga's death reached Kanto, Tokugawa Ieyasu's kitchen used a lot of eggplant.

Those who are familiar with Tokugawa Ieyasu know that the daimyo liked to eat eggplant the most, and there were also cooks who laughed in the kitchen and said that Tokugawa-sama must be in a good mood, and then the cook disappeared before dinner, and everyone in the kitchen was sent to a military camp somewhere in Sagami, and eggplants did not appear in the Tokugawa family's recipes for a long time.

When the Ming sea lord of Hirado appeared in Osaka Castle, it was already the port of Hizen, which actually gave him the right to manage this port, and also gave him the status of a samurai, and then there is a more, a few explanations, Osaka's saka is not a typo, the earliest is next to the word earth, in addition, in Japan at that time, there were only three large islands of Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu, and the opening of Hokkaido was in modern times
