When Mouri Hide returned Yamauchi Nobumasa and the Ming army faced off against the Tokugawa family, the cautious and wise Masuda Motosho was dumbfounded.
His two long gray eyebrows trembled constantly and he pondered for a long time.
What is this true story?
It was a major military event that affected the lives and fortunes of the Maori clan and their subjects.

Although Lord Xinzheng has always been loyal and encouraging, I still have to ask just in case."
Yuan Xiang said.
Maori Xiu nodded slightly.
"Secondly, as Lord Nobumasa said, my lord must hide it from others.
Our naval forces must not hold back when participating in the attack, otherwise the Tokugawa family will be aware of it."
Yuanxiang continued.
"This is a very good statement."
Mao Lixiu admired him even more.
He did not focus on temporary gains and losses, but had a long-term vision.
"Third, collect the letter from the mountain with a stone a thousand stones high, and order him to shut up and think about his mistakes.
At the same time, order him to hide in the dark and do things cheaply."
Yuan Xiang said.
Well, Mourihide agrees.
Yamauchi is loyal.
However, this matter must be explained to other retainers.
This is already a light sentence.
Furthermore, it is true that the collusion with the Ming army can only be carried out secretly.
This is very good. .
"Fourth, assemble the army and prepare for war.
It is clearly a shogunate, but it is actually waiting for the heaven to change."
Yuanxiang ended.
Mao Lixiu nodded frequently, and he sighed, "It's really a mature man's advice to seek the country.
The Mao Li family is so lucky."
"My lord is overly praised.
This veteran is over seventy this year, but he has more experience.
I hope my crude words today will be of some benefit to my lord."
Yuan Xiang said modestly.
"It's a pity that Mr.
Masuda is over seventy this year.
It's hateful."
Mourixiu was reluctant to leave.
The days of such a loyal and capable minister were numbered.
Masuda Genxiang was deeply moved and bowed to thank him, and Mourixiu hurriedly helped him.
Not to mention the relationship between the monarch and his ministers in the Mori family, at this time in the inner castle of Edo Castle, the principal and his ministers also faced each other.
"Your Highness, Tsushima Domain sent a ship to report that the Jeju Ming people's Nanman warships all sent out to destroy dozens of Tsushima Domain warships.
Tsushima Domain now has no ships to explore, so it is urgent for our shogunate naval forces."
The shogunate naval forces.
The captain of the ship knelt down and reported to Mukai Tadakatsu.
"In addition.
The ship also brought a letter to Mamoru for His Highness."

Tokugawa Iemitsu opened the letter eagerly, thought for a moment after reading it, "Come here, please summon all the elders and elders to the castle tower immediately."
A man with a nickname led him away.
"Mukai Tadakatsu step aside for now and wait for Ie Laobei to ask questions."
Tokugawa Iemitsu ordered.
The strong Mukai Tadakatsu was ordered to retreat.
An hour later, all the veterans gathered at Honmaru Castle Tower.
"My lords, Tsushima Morumune Yoshinari sent a letter to report to the shogunate that dozens of warships were destroyed by the Ming fleet.
Call the shogunate navy for help."
Tokugawa Iemitsu first told the unfavorable news, but obviously, this The news did not cause any shock.
All the senior ministers remained calm and pondered over the situation.
This makes Iemitsu, who has always been short-tempered and irritable, extremely impatient.
"In addition, Zong Yisheng reported that Jeju Ming Dynasty had more than 10,000 water infantry and more than 20 Nanman giant ships, which had occupied Jeju for many years.
North Korea was seriously injured due to the chaos in the north at the beginning of the year, and the cavalry and infantry suffered heavy losses.
Therefore unable to collect Recover Jeju.
Ma Shou approached Li Chao to use his navy to send troops to Jeju, but the king and the rulers of Korea declined, claiming that Huayi was in great defense.
"Masakatsu Inaba went on to tell the following news.
"Huayi Defense is such a courageous and hypocritical person."
Iemitsu sneered.
For someone who has always been arrogant.
For generations of Tokugawa generals, Li Chao, who was short and shy, was extremely speechless.
"Your Highness, I wonder how many warships there will be if all the daimyo's naval forces are assembled." asked the veteran Tadashi Sakai.
"Well, well, come on, summon Mukai Tadakatsu to see you."
A man with a nickname led him away.
The skill of cupping tea.
The stocky Mukai quickly stepped inside and bowed in admiration.
"Mukai Tadakatsu, tell me how many warships there are in gathering all Japan."
Iemitsu ordered.
"As ordered, Your Highness, our naval force has more than 70 Anzai ships, more than 200 Kansai ships, and more than 400 small morning ships.
In addition, Satsuma Domain, Choshu Domain, Kaga Domain, Tosa Domain, Tsushima Domain, Mutsu, etc.
The land can collect nearly 200 Anzha ships and more than 300 Guan ships, which is the number of ships that can be mobilized by the whole country."
Mukai Tadakatsu Fuchi replied.
"However, as far as I know, the Choshu Domain and the Kaga Domain are short of financial resources.
Many warships are damaged and they may not be able to go to sea."
This issue is a bit complicated.
Iemitsu rubbed his nose.
In the past, if the vassals vigorously built warships, it would make the shogunate uneasy.
Because, of course, if there is no big battle, there is no need to use the navy, and if there is no ambition, of course there is no need to support the navy.
Therefore, in order to reassure the shogunate, many feudal lords deliberately did not repair ships and only kept basic transport ships, while the others were in the bay.
Soaking it, it happens to save a lot of money.
"You can order the feudal lords to step up repairs on their ships and try their best to send out naval forces to participate in the joint battle."
Masakatsu Inaba suggested.
"Don't be too forceful.
They have been asked to reorganize their troops in the main formation before.
Now they are ordered to repair the ships with all their strength.
Many vassals are worried about their finances and may cause turmoil."

Date Masamune, who had all white hair and beard, said dissatisfiedly.
All the daimyo are vassals, but the shogunate cannot be too harsh.
In the past, ships could not be repaired.
Now, after more than ten years of neglect, many daimyo who have both infantry, cavalry and naval forces will have to vomit blood.
Of course, everyone understands that the Date family, which is located in the northeast by the sea, also has a navy.
When this order is issued, the Date family will consume a lot of money.
I am afraid that they will not be able to recover in a few years.
Of course, they are extremely dissatisfied.
"Of course, we must appease the feudal lords and not cause any major dissatisfaction."
Sakai Tadayo comforted and reconciled in the middle, showing his true nature as a good old man.
"Your Highness, if you want to recruit warships from all over the country, you will decide this morning whether to issue a summons to gather troops."
Tadashi Naito said seriously.
Yes, the first thing to do now is to determine the strategy.
Only if the strategy of conquering the unsubordinates is determined can the Daimyo be sent word to gather troops across the country.
Then whether we should fight or not can only be considered based on the scale of the battle.
"The occupation of my territory by the Ming people is really disrespectful to the Emperor of Japan.
As a general appointed by His Majesty the Emperor to conquer the barbarians, I will fight for the country with my duty.
In this necessary battle, I will definitely gather and annihilate the Ming army and make them fear our country, Japan."
Tokugawa Iemitsu said in a slow but firm voice.
The elders of the family agreed in a loud voice, and automatically omitted the nonsense about Tokugawa Iemitsu's so-called loyalty to the emperor.
They were not ignorant farmers and women.
The Tokugawa family always sent troops only for their own interests, and so did the retainers.
As for the tablet of loyalty to the emperor, , that is a high-level need, and it has always been the case since ancient times.
Of course, as important ministers, they were also extremely vigilant about Akito occupying Ezo Island.
This sacred place cannot be lost under any circumstances, and we are all in favor of sending troops.
"In this case, since most of the Ming people are gathered on Jeju Island, if our army has a decisive battle with them, they will have to gather all the warships in Japan.
Do you have any doubts about this?"
Inaba Masakatsu said.
Several people agreed that if we go from the south of the Ezo tunnel through the mountains in the central and southern parts of Ezo Island and enter the northwest Ezo land.
Just the rugged mountain roads and dense forests would collapse the marching army, not to mention the large amount of baggage.
If you take a boat from Mutsu to Nishi Ezo, it will be a long journey of more than ten days.
If there really was such a large fleet, Ezo Island would have been developed long ago.
So after several people discussed it, they immediately rejected it.
Then the only way to attack Mingren was to go to Jeju.
In this case, ships were still a big problem.
However, for a voyage of three to four days from Choshu Domain, or less than three days from Hizen, this voyage is relatively acceptable.
So the current problem is how many ships to recruit.
The final result is of course that the Date family only needs to dispatch ten Anzha ships, thirty Guan ships and fifty Kozaya ships.
Of course there were other people who were sold.
For example, the foreign daimyo such as Choshu Domain and Satsuma Domain are really miserable.
The foreign daimyo are located in barren areas near the sea.
Of course, there will be some naval forces and ships.
One is to stabilize the sea area, and the other is to do some sea trade smuggling.
Supplement finance.
There should not be too many pirates in the Seto Inland Sea.

The result of the melee during the Warring States Period was that a large number of retainers who lost their masters became thieves.
Therefore, it is unimaginable to have no navy in Linhai.
As a result, most of the navy was required to go into battle this time.
Of course, there are also the candidates for the general and the composition of the infantry and cavalry, and then when to attack.
The result is that the discussion cannot be completed in one day, and it cannot even be completed in two or three days.
At the end of the evaluation meeting, the gray-haired veteran Tadayo Sakai bowed and said: "Your Highness, as a matter of passing on the Daimyo's expedition abroad.
Your Highness, would you like to go to see His Highness the Imperial Palace and listen to the opportunity?"
"Of course, the governor will go to Nishimaru tonight."
Tokugawa Iemitsu is disgusting.
Needless to say, this is the first time he represents the emperor after the battle of Keicho Bunroku and conquers foreign countries.
He must win the emperor and Tokugawa Hidetada.
With the emperor’s approval, that’s all.
He is just a yes man, but Hidetada, the Minister of Imperial Government, must pay homage and listen to suggestions.
However, this matter should be based on my own thoughts and actions, not other people's reminders.
It seems that as a legitimate son, I did not think of asking the Taizheng Minister for advice.
Tokugawa Iemitsu was extremely angry, a blush flashed across his originally pale face, he gritted his teeth secretly, and a stern look flashed in his eyes.
However, the Sakai family is the descendant of the Tokugawa family.
They have assisted the Matsudaira Tokugawa family for several generations and have made outstanding contributions.
They never left the Matsudaira family when they were at their lowest.
Tokugawa Iemitsu had no choice but to hold back his anger.
He held hands tightly , calmed down.
Several senior middlemen and Mukai Tadakatsu said goodbye and left.
Tokugawa Iemitsu got up and came to the window.
He felt a dull pain in his stomach.
He was really angry and was hurting his health.
Tokugawa Iemitsu had been weak and sick since he was a child, and he didn't eat enough.
For this, his wet nurse Afu was heartbroken and offered seven-color rice to promote health. its appetite.
Iemitsu felt particularly aggrieved today.
He had never made any meritorious deeds in battle and was secretly happy to get this opportunity to conquer the enemy.
However, the cruel reality told him that he was not a true general who conquered the barbarians.
Like his father Hidetada, His Highness the Great Imperial Palace Minister is the real one in control.
When Ah Fu walked into the room, he saw Iemitsu standing in front of the window, looking into the distance.
When Ah Fu came closer, he found that Iemitsu's face was flushed by the cold wind, and he couldn't help but get angry.
"That servant is here to take care of His Highness the General.
How come His Highness is allowed to stay in front of the window in such a cold weather?"
Ah Fu's voice echoed through the large assessment room.
The two young men on the side quickly knelt down and apologized.
In fact, they had already tried to persuade him, but Iemitsu didn't listen.
Of course Ah Fu cannot blame them too harshly for this matter.
Most of the minor surnames here are the youngest sons of Tokugawa retainers.
"Nurse, don't blame them.
I was depressed and opened the window to look into the distance."
Iemitsu said with a smile.
"Your Highness, it's dinner time.
Let's have dinner first and deal with some minor matters later."

Ah Fu bowed and said.
She was smart enough not to ask what was going on.
After all, Iemitsu was very stubborn and would not speak easily.
All Ah Fu could do was improve.
Iemitsu's state of mind.
"Okay, I am indeed hungry."
He had nothing but respect and obedience for the woman who saved his life, Iemitsu.
For a moment, the assessment room was empty.
