Ma Shiying laughed and said: "It seems that the general knows his own value very clearly.
I heard that your father has three children.
The eldest son died in infancy.
I heard that the third son Tokugawa Tadaga is very much favored by your father."
These words hit Tokugawa Iemitsu's pain point.
Since his mother A Jiang gave birth to him, he has been raised by wet nurse Kasuga Bureau Afu.
Later, after giving birth to his younger brother Kunichiyo, he felt that Tokugawa Iemitsu's nickname, Takechiyo, was raised by a wet nurse, resulting in a lack of harmony between mother and child, so he had to raise Kunichiyo himself.
Kunichiyo has always been better than Takechiyo in terms of appearance and talent.
Tokugawa Hidetada and Ajiang liked Kunichiyo more and wanted Kunichiyo to succeed them as generals.
He named Kunichiyo Tadada, and Tadada's Tadashi was taken from Hidetada's Tadashi.
This was already an obvious signal.
As a result, Tokugawa Iemitsu's wet nurse, Kasuga Bureau, quit her job.
She went to Sunfu Castle where his grandfather, Tokugawa Ieyasu, lived in seclusion, and cried to Ieyasu about the injustice of Hidetada and his wife.
Afterwards, Tokugawa Ieyasu came to Edo in person and told Hidetada and his wife that they should separate the elders and younger ones, and insisted that Takechiyo be the general who conquered the barbarians.
The Hidetada and his wife were in an embarrassing situation and had to give up.
It was not until recently that Tokugawa Hidetada allowed him to attack the barbarian generals, and he served as the imperial palace.
At the same time, he appointed his younger brother Tadanagi as the chief minister among the three.
It's just that Tokugawa Hidetada's retirement was completely different from Tokugawa Ieyasu.
He still lived in Edo Castle, and all power was in his own hands.
Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for Tokugawa Tadanagi to threaten him, but now he is captured by the Ming army.
If the Ming army keeps holding him captive, it is possible that his father will appoint Tokugawa Tadanagi as the conquest general.
General, give yourself up completely.
Even if the Ming army lets him go back, it is still uncertain whether his father will depose him and appoint another loyal leader.
And Ma Shiying knew the Japanese version of the story of Uncle Zheng and Uncle Gong, and felt that there were some opportunities in it, so he hurriedly came to see Tokugawa Iemitsu.
He is no longer anxious now, waiting for Tokugawa Iemitsu to figure it out on his own.
Tokugawa Iemitsu said with difficulty: "I don't know how the imperial envoy is going to deal with this general."
Ma Shiying said with a smile: "If the general is returned to the Imperial Palace, I wonder if the general will be satisfied?"
Tokugawa Iemitsu remained silent.
This was obviously not a good idea.
His father could have used this excuse to ask him to step down and help his younger brother up.
But he had no better way.
Ma Shiying had a better way.
He smiled and said: "The shogunate should be headed by the general who conquered the barbarians, why should he listen to the imperial palace?"
This is a bit tricky.
The Daigosho was originally an honorific for the former general who conquered the barbarians.
However, whether it was Tokugawa Ieyasu or Tokugawa Hidetada, although they were named Daigosho, they actually had great influence on the shogunate, especially Tokugawa Hidetada.
He did not live in seclusion in Sunfu Castle where Tokugawa Ieyasu lived in seclusion, but still stayed in Edo, so in fact Tokugawa Iemitsu had no power.
To say that Tokugawa Iemitsu has any dissatisfaction, that is not necessarily the case.
After all, he has just become the general of the conquest of barbarians.
But there is still a hidden worry, and that is his younger brother Tokugawa Tadanagi, who has always been at odds with him.
If his father makes him a general to conquer the barbarians, then his life can be imagined.
If you have never gotten something, it doesn't matter.
But if you have gotten something, once it is lost, the psychological gap will not be bearable by ordinary people.
Ambition was ignited by Ma Shiying like a fire.
Yes, he was the legitimate general who conquered the barbarians.

Why should he listen to his father who had a not very good reputation and didn't like him very much?
Instead of constantly worrying about being deposed, it would be better to Become a real general However, Tokugawa Iemitsu also understood that of course the Ming army could not help him in vain, but compared to losing the power he already had, making a little concession to the Ming army was nothing.
He had made up his mind and stopped going around in circles with Ma Shiying: "I wonder what conditions the imperial envoy needs to help this general overcome this difficulty."
Ma Shiying laughed: "Come on, the general will tell you what you need us to do first."
Tokugawa Iemitsu gritted his teeth and said: "This general wants you to ensure that my position as general will not be taken away by my father."
Ma Shiying said: "This matter is a bit difficult to handle, because if your father wants to depose you, we have no way to change his mind."
Tokugawa Iemitsu said: "There is a way.
My father only has two sons now.
As long as you arrest Tokugawa Tadanagi, my father will not be able to touch my position."
Ma Shiying was a little disappointed.
Originally, he wanted to stimulate his hatred for Tokugawa Hidetada.
It would be best if he could use the Ming army to oppose Tokugawa Hidetada.
He didn't want him, but he only dared to kidnap his own brother to secure his position.
However, he had to eat his food one bite at a time.
First, he caught Tokugawa Tadaga, and then Tokugawa Iemitsu and Ming Jun were tied together.
He smiled and said: "My brother has escaped after his last failure.
How can we catch him?"
Tokugawa Iemitsu said: "I know where he is, and I am willing to help you catch him.
The imperial envoy will first find my brother-in-law Inaba Masakatsu.
I saw you caught him."
Inaba Masakatsu was slightly older than Tokugawa Iemitsu, in his mid-twenties.
As soon as he came in, he threw himself in front of Tokugawa Iemitsu and cried: "It's lucky that the general is safe and sound, otherwise I can't explain to the Imperial Palace and my mother." ” He is the son of Kasuga Bureau and has always been Tokugawa Iemitsu's servant.
The two have a very good relationship.
Tokugawa Iemitsu said: "Brother, the matter is urgent, you must listen carefully."
Inaba Masakatsu hurriedly wiped away his tears and said: "Please give me your orders, General."
Tokugawa Iemitsu said: "The only plan now is to capture Kunichiyo so that my father cannot depose me.
Kunichiyo is now in Aira, only thirty miles away.
You can lead the Ming army and capture him for me."
Inaba Masakatsu said: "Yes, Masakatsu will definitely arrest Kunichiyo."
In his mind, only Tokugawa Iemitsu is the most important, not to mention Tokugawa Tadaga, even Tokugawa Hidetada.
I won’t care.
Since Tokugawa Iemitsu said he wanted to capture Tokugawa Tadanagi, then go ahead and capture him.
As for who he is capturing with, is there any problem?
Ma Shiying called Yang Guanggao, Zhao Lijiao, Man Gui and others over and asked them to inquire about Aira's situation in detail.
Based on Aira's defensive strength, it was finally decided that Zhao Lijiao would lead the first brigade of the 2nd Division to capture Tokugawa Tadashi. long.
After Zhao Shujiao came to Kagoshima Castle, he always guarded the southern wall and did not participate in the battle with the Japanese army.
This made Zhao Shujiao, who was eager to make meritorious deeds, feel very unhappy.
Now that he heard about such a good thing, he was naturally not happy.
