Chapter 27 Footpath
That night, Ieka and his son lived in Jiangnan Garden.
The night rain slapped the lake, and the sound of waves from Osaka Bay faintly came from the distance, which made the warm lights look very quiet.
"Uh...oh...hiss..."
Zhao Hao leaned on the pillow, stretching his legs comfortably, enjoying the sole massage of his godson.
"Oh Taosama, how is this strength?" Ieyasu knelt down and rubbed his foot acupoint hard.
"Yeah, professional." Zhao Hao nodded in ambiguously.
"Nobunaga also praised the child's footwork." Ieyasu smiled like a child of 160 pounds, and sighed: "In this world, except for his father, the child has only pressed his feet."
"I'm really unwilling to serve that country mouse." He suddenly felt angry again, and he exerted force on his hand.
"It hurts, be gentle!" Zhao Hao grinned.
"My father has some kidney deficiency, please bear it a little." But Ieyasu was not relaxed.
"Nonsense, the kidneys control hair, look at your hair..." Zhao Hao said with a burst of sourness.
"It's inevitable. Who made my father and son work day and night..." Ieyasu sighed and couldn't help but say proudly: "But we are not busy at all. Unlike Hideyoshi, our wife married a nest, but she couldn't give birth to a child."
"He is over fifty years old?" Zhao Hao took the teacup presented by Zhao Shizhen and sipped it lightly.
"Yes, it's fifty-one." Yoshiyasu said gloatingly: "I'm still working hard, but no matter how hard I try, it's in vain."
"Oh? How do you say this?" Zhao Hao's heart ignited a fire of gossip. After all, whether Hideaki was Hideyoshi's son, it was one of the major mysteries of the Warring States Period in Japan.
"Eighteen years ago, when Nobunaga led his army to attack Ise, Hideyoshi was responsible for attacking Azaka Castle. Omiya Keiran, the son of the city lord, was a famous archer. He shot Hideyoshi, who was standing on the front of the formation, and injured him and thus affected his fertility." Ieyasu smiled:
"Although Hideyoshi insisted that he was shot in the arm, not the egg, it is an indisputable fact that no one was released in the next eighteen years."
"That's it..." Zhao Hao thought that Jiakang had some serious information, but he didn't expect that he would be a sensation. However, this kind of thing is really impossible to verify. He can't take a sample and send it to the laboratory of Jiangnan Medical College. He can take a high-power microscope and take a look...
"Ah. Actually, he is still a farmer's mind. The Wu family doesn't care whether they are biological children. As long as they have the status of father and son, it's enough." Yakang wrapped Zhao Hao's left foot in a hot towel and began to massage his other foot.
"For example, Xiukang?" Zhao Hao teased.
"Hahaha," Ieyasu said with awkward smile: "It's impossible. Hideyoshi-kun pays too much attention to blood. If he had married Asahi Hime to me twenty years ago, there would be a chance."
"Don't you look down on others?" Zhao Hao smiled.
"Oh." Iekara said dejectedly: "Just talk, how dare you look down on me? If the child does not agree to marry her, the two families will have to die."
"What do you think?" Zhao Hao asked softly.
Iekaku kept moving his hands and whispered: "As long as there is a possibility, the child will naturally not want to surrender to the country mouse. But the form is better than that of humans. Oh, I really don't want to..."
As he said that, he raised his head and looked at Zhao Hao and said, "Can you shock Hideyoshi Duke?"
"What do you want me to do?" Zhao Hao asked without comment.
"He issued the order to conquer Jiuzhou and was about to attack Jiuzhou. As long as his father sent a fleet to block the Guanmen Strait, he would block him at Xiaguan just like he did to Yuan Jugong back then, and he would know that our Zhao family is powerful."
"It's not very meaningful." Zhao Hao thought for a moment, but slowly shook his head and said, "The so-called self-help is God helping him. Maori Fumimoto and Kobayakawa Takake from the West had already surrendered to Guan Bai. Otomo Sorin from Kitakyushu was also an incompetent weapon. He finally managed to kill the Fatty Matsu, but was defeated by the Shimazu family. He had to go to Luo to ask for help and voluntarily lead the wolf into the house. They have all given up. What's the point of fighting in my fleet?"
"That monkey violated the 'Three No-Forbidden Foreign Order'!" Seeing that Zhao Hao had no intention of sending troops, Ieyasu said anxiously: "And he also violated the "Permanent Coherence Treaty" and built Osaka Castle in the demilitarized area next to Honan Temple!"
"Of course he will be punished, but it's not the time." Zhao Hao said lightly: "The Guanmen Strait is too narrow. My fleet can stop him for a while, but not for him for a lifetime. And are you sure you want me to stop him from conquering Kyushu Island?"
"This..." Ieyasu was stunned for a moment, and after a long time, he shook his head dejectedly and said, "Let's forget it."
You should know that Hideyoshi's biggest problem now is that he became famous too late and only after the Honnoji Incident, he began to grow into a prince. His confidant generals, such as Kuroda Takashi and Konishi, were even more humble and had no capital. To put it bluntly, they were just a group of mud legs to take over.
No matter from any perspective, the monkey has to quickly arrange the fief of his subordinates, so as to stabilize his fragile Toyotomi group.
But Toyotomi Hideyoshi has never been known for his military talent. His talent points are mainly added to intelligence, eloquence and internal affairs. Unlike the former lord who relied on force to conquer and crush all opponents, he relied on his outstanding diplomatic ability to put together the various daimyos.
For example, in the war in the 12th year of Wanli, Hideyoshi did not seek any advantage in front of Ieyasu with several times his troops, but instead lost three generals. However, in the event of a defeat on the battlefield, he conquered Nobuo Oda with his amazing diplomatic skills, and immediately let Ieyasu, who stood up for Nobuo, sit down.
Ieyasu's dissatisfaction with Hideyoshi and Hideyoshi's fear of Ieyasu comes from this to a large extent.
For other forces, Hideyoshi basically mainly buys United, the Maori family, Uesugi family, and the Tokugawa family are not hurt, and can still retain their own territory and army.
So even though he has become a 'people in the world', Hideyoshi still does not have enough land to distribute to his own people.
Kyushu is the place to alleviate the lack of territory problem of Hideyoshi Group. Otherwise, Kanbai would have to violate the promise of peace and make these ideas of Daming. For example, the Tokugawa family is now 1.5 million stones in Shigao, and it is such a big fat sheep...
After thinking clearly about the pros and cons, Tokugawa Ieyasu couldn't help but shivered and said, "Let him go to conquer Kyushu."
After saying that, he said with a frown, "But when he digests Jiuzhou, the child will be no longer his opponent."
"Whether there is Jiuzhou or not, it will not affect his overwhelming advantage over you." Zhao Hao sat upright, patted Jiakang's head and said:
"Son, the most important thing for you now is to correct your mentality. Since you can destroy you no matter whether you are a demon king or a monkey sitting in that seat, why do you have to treat it differently? Is it worth stabbing you to death? You have to change the golden fork?"
"..." Tokugawa Ieyasu was stunned for a while, and Fang Rumeng woke up and said, "What my father taught me is that the child is obsessed with it! Nobunaga and Hideyoshi, there is really no difference for me."
"Actually, your situation is much better. Think about it, I was trying to make you surrender. Oda Nobunaga ordered you to kill your wife and son to show your loyalty. But Hideyoshi wanted to marry your sister to you and gave her mother to you as a hostage." Zhao Hao smiled and gave him a pity and said, "I think although he imitated your elder brother everywhere, Oda Nobunaga's domineering is arrogance in his bones, and his domineering cannot hide his inferiority complex in his heart."
"My father..." Iekara looked at Zhao Hao in shock. With his familiarity with the two, he believed Zhao Hao's judgment at once. He couldn't help but admire him and said in a deep admiration:
"I didn't expect that my father had never seen these two people before. Just by the child's description, he could see through their hearts! Oh Taosama is really a god!"
"Now do you know what to do?" Zhao Hao smiled and pulled him up and said, "People should play to their strengths and avoid weaknesses. They are obviously soft-boys, so don't pretend to be a hero. When you turn around, you happily marry Asahi Hime and welcome his mother to your grandmother's house to serve you. Then you will press your brother-in-law's feet, and then you will break the bones and tendons of the family. Hideyoshi's knife will cut too much, and it will not fall on your head."
After a pause, Zhao Hao said domineeringly: "Wait a few more years, wait for your father to free up his monkey head to serve as a warning to others!"
"Oh, let my father say this, my heart is completely open!" Tokugawa Ieyasu excitedly rubbed Zhao Hao's legs and said, "I know how to protect myself in the future!"
"Just know, let go quickly, you'll be beaten apart." Zhao Haoxu kicked him, thinking that this was originally a routine for you, and of course he felt it suited his heart.
In another time and space, it was precisely through the supreme licking skills that Tokugawa Ieyasu not only avoided being weakened by Hideyoshi, but also grew into a super famous name of 2.56 million stones under him. He was more than half ahead of the second place, Muri Hiromoto... Then after Hideyoshi's death, he became Sima Yi of Japan.
"The child thought of a way to please Mr. Hideyoshi." The big raccoon, who was not stubborn, returned to his clever state. He slapped his head and said excitedly:
"I'd like to ask my father to do it."
"Tell me." Zhao Hao nodded.
"Hideyoshi-kun actually has always been obsessed with his dream lover. He became lustful after he couldn't get it. He relied on the number of women to fill the emptiness in his heart..." Ieyasu said excitedly: "But for men, what they can't get is always regret. The greater the power, the less willing he is to leave regrets!"
"One set of things." Zhao Hao coughed, just about to let him stop talking.
But Iekaku, who was excited, couldn't stop him: "His dream lover is Brother Zhao Xian's wife Ashi..." After Iekaku said that, he felt a chill behind him. When he looked back, he saw Zhao Shizhen looking for guys everywhere to cut him down.
"My brother, don't get me wrong. I'm not going to attack Mrs. Ashi." Ieyasu quickly explained: "I remember her eldest daughter, Chacha, was very similar to Mrs. Ashi since she was a child. She is already eighteen years old this year, right? If no one has been allowed yet, oh..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Shizhen kicked him down on the tatami and kicked him hard.
"Male Gobi! It's not over!" He scolded while kicking, "Let my Ajiang marry a nine-year-old shit, and let my Chacha marry an old man in his fifties! Believe it or not, I tie you to the Hongwu cannon and bomb it into Osaka Bay!"
"..." Zhao Hao quickly asked someone to pull his eldest nephew away and comforted him helplessly: "Don't worry, you won't let Chacha marry the monkey. Including Achu's marriage, you have decided on it. Uncle, I won't interfere anymore, right?"
"This is almost the same..." Zhao Shizhen calmed down.
Zhao Hao scolded Ieyasu, who was bruised and swollen, and said, "You are so ruthless. You all say you want to kill a monkey and make a fuss. Why do you still have to push someone's daughter into the fire pit!"
