Chapter 402 I'm wrong!

The sensitive Hideyoshi would not have been unaware of the initial miscalculation of this battle. However, in today's time, it is absolutely impossible for Hideyoshi to change his attitude easily because of a miscalculation. "I did something that even Nobunaga could never do!" This idea at the beginning was associated with his ambition and pride.At this point, if you don't get out of the predicament yourself, you will lose face as a man. Moreover, when in this predicament, it must be accompanied by unlucky fate. First of all, on June 5th, Han General Yi Sun-shin defeated our navy in Xiangpu, Tang Dynasty. The warships were burned and our side was defeated.

For the expeditionary force, losing the navy is tantamount to cutting off the food supply.What's more, Hideyoshi's distress can be imagined when the whole army encountered such a thing shortly after marching on the enemy's territory. In addition, on the second day after my naval army suffered a big defeat, Mrs. Tai, who is supreme to Hideyoshi, fell ill in Osaka. On June 8th, the above two incidents had not yet reached Hideyoshi's ears. However, Hideyoshi already sensed that this war had fooled him, and that it was attempted and not normally ill-intentioned. For example, according to Hideyoshi's original plan, he himself arrived in North Korea in the spring of that year, and now he should cross the Ming border with dignity.However, the battle situation is all developing towards the tragic fate of "setback".

First of all, the king of Joseon and his people were regarded as the enemy in front of him. When the elite troops were nailed there, they had to change all the elite of the important breakthrough troops to the garrison, so they did not make a bigger mistake. This was also discovered in Japan, and rumors spread immediately: "His Highness Taihe is about to fail this time!" After hearing the news, Hideyoshi immediately wrote a letter to Emperor Goyosei with a Zhuyin letter, stating the reasons why he could not expect to transition to the court this spring, in an attempt to deceive the past.

The Zhuyin form was submitted on June 9th.It reads: "Preparations are being made in order to move the Queen of Heaven to the Ming Dynasty..." Speaking of the next year, it's wonderful.He considered that at that time, he could also cross the sea by boat and carry out his original intention to invade the Ming country. But just before and after the letter was written, the news of my navy's defeat and Mrs. Tai's illness reached Nagoya.Destiny is really a prankster who deliberately fights against people! When the news of Mrs. Tai's illness made Hideyoshi very depressed, Hideyoshi's dream of going to war was shattered.

The Korean War was won first and then lost. For Hideyoshi, all of this was actually a continuation of miscalculations. (I didn't send troops to fight this kind of battle...) This is because, if the opponent stands up to resist, it is also vulnerable.But what was the result?It has become an endless war. It was from then on that Hideyoshi's big talk became very similar to Zeng Luli... Zeng Luli was aware of this, and in order to make fun of others, he did not care to exaggerate the story he knew was fabricated.The purpose is to make people laugh, and the meaning and content of the words are not taken seriously.In the same way, Taihe also calmly asked Maoli who reported that "the royal ship is not yet completed" from this time: "Is the city where I stayed between Busan and the capital repaired? I'm leaving soon!"

He also pretended not to know in front of Tokugawa Ieyasu or Maeda Toshiie.The ship was not built and the city was not built. He knew these things clearly but had to pretend not to know, which shows the difficulties in his heart. As if continuing to pursue, on July 8, the news of the second naval defeat came. This time it was the enemy Admiral Yi Sun-shin who took the initiative to attack the Japanese navy near Hansando and burned more than 70 military ships (warships) in one fell swoop... The navy at that time was the lifeline of my attacking troops.These ships are Japanese ships with a load of 500 shi to 1,000 shi. This is a calculation method that converts all the loaded items into rice, which means that a little space is not fully filled.

"It's full!" In order not to make mistakes in the items loaded, people, horses, weapons, armor, and even soybean paste and pots were converted into rice loads. Armor (full body) two liters, helmet five liters, spear three liters, umbrella (one) and clogs three liters, pot (two big and small) six liters, bean paste (one bucket) two buckets and four liters. More than 70 ships that were loaded with so many supplies and capable of carrying troops to fight were burned down at one time, which was equivalent to the destruction of a large fleet. Therefore, the purpose of combat must be changed, otherwise there is no other way.

The enemy we faced before was not North Korea.North Korea is nothing to worry about.However, it is this insignificant North Korea that is becoming more and more arrogant in the face of Hideyoshi's army, which is known as the most powerful in the world... In this way, Hideyoshi gradually had to pretend to be confused. "Mrs. Tai's illness seems to be very serious. I can't ignore it. She has been my mother since the common people's time, so I have to visit her!" There is no doubt that he is worried about Mrs. Tai's illness.But, other than that, he didn't want those vassals with elder qualifications to see how preoccupied he was when he left Nagoya.

It was July 22nd! However, on the day Hideyoshi returned to Osaka, his own mother died in Osaka Castle.He was eighty years old. From this, can one deny the ironic cruelty of fate? From Hidecho's death to Rikyu's death, and then Tsurumatsumaru's premature death, for Hideyoshi, the god of fate has completely left. In the first half of Hideyoshi's life, the combination of the god of fate and desperateism helped him. But without the desperate spirit of divine assistance, what would become of it? ... Only on July 27, Kato Kiyomasa captured the second prince of North Korea alive in Huining, which was a good news on the battlefield.But at the same time, it was rumored that the Ming army had crossed the Yalu River to aid North Korea.

At this moment, Hideyoshi is only pretending to be a triumphant general on the outside, while pretending to be ignorant, boasting, while heading for Osaka Castle, which is waiting for him to return because of his mother's death.
