It is absolutely true that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. However, the difference is that some calves are not afraid of anything, while others are clear about everything and still are not afraid of anything.

Mitsunari Ishida belongs to the type who knows everything but is still fearless. He was born in 1560 and is only 22 years old this year, less than 23 years old. Eight years ago, he was favored by Yu Hideyoshi for the "Three Gifts of Tea" and was able to stand close to Yu Hideyoshi.

The so-called "three offerings of tea" is a very interesting allusion. In 1574, Hideyoshi Hashiba was the lord of Nagahama Castle at that time; Mizumaki Ishida was fifteen years old and was a little novice in a temple outside Nagahama Castle.

One day, Hideyoshi went out to hunt and was thirsty, so she ran to this temple to have tea.

Mizunashi Ishida served a large bowl of herbal tea, and Hideyoshi drank it all in one go.

Sanjutsu held half a bowl of slightly hot tea, and Hideyoshi drank it in big gulp.

Then Sansheng presented a small bowl of hotter tea, and Hideyoshi savored it again.

After drinking, Hideyoshi asked Sanju, why did he offer tea like this?

Sancheng replied: "Because adults are tired and thirsty, this first cup of tea is a way to quench their thirst, so they used a large bowl of herbal tea; the second cup was because adults were basically no longer thirsty, so they served a little warmer tea. In the end, when adults were calm and their mouths were not thirsty, they would serve hot tea again so that adults would taste the taste carefully."

The abbot was shocked and sternly scolded Mitsuke for being rude. Hideyoshi recognized Mitsuke's wisdom and demeanor, believing that he could clearly understand his intentions and his words and deeds were in line with his wishes. So Mitsuke left the temple on the same day, returned to secular life and became Hideyoshi's servant.

In the next twenty-five years, Mitsunari Ishida made great achievements when he attacked Shibata Katsuya. He made great contributions when he fought against the Shimazu clan in Kyushu, the Hojo clan in Odawara, and the Ida clan in Oshu, and became the most trusted minister under Hideyoshi!

After Hideyoshi's death, Hideyoshi's son Hidera was an Adou-style "outstanding young man", the Toyonaga family was really unsuccessful, and Japan, which was originally nominally unified, was once again facing division!

At this time, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had been dormant for decades, suddenly rose up and led the Eastern Alliance as the Eastern Army to launch a decisive invitation to the forces left by Tokugawa Hideyoshi! As the loyal defender of the Hideyoshi's power, Ishida Mitsunari, as the actual leader of the Western Army, took the opportunity of the joint battle between Tokugawa Ieyasu!

But unfortunately, the Fengcheng family defended by Mitsunari Ishida stood by and watched at this time. Mitsunari Ishida was eventually defeated and captured. In order to defend the reputation, he refused to surrender and was beheaded in Rijokawahara at the age of 41.

This also declared that the Toyonashi family, who had briefly unified Japan, had finished their energy. The Toyonashi family, who was standing by and watched, was replaced by Tokugawa Ieyasu shortly after Misato Ishida was defeated and died. The Tokugawa Shogunate was established and ruled Japan until the modern era of the Inverted Shogun Movement.

In history, Mizunashi Ishida has a very distinct personality, with clear good and evil, and no concealment. He is wise, capable, courage, loyal, but he lacks some luck and forbearance. In general, he is an absolute gentleman and a true tragic hero!

At this time, Mizunashi Ishida was just a confidant of Hideyoshi Hashiba, and his official position was just a lower-class civil servant of the seventh rank. Facing a family boss like Kuroda's officer and Weiwei, his generous speeches aroused the disgust of Kuroda's officer and Weiwei.

Kuroda officer and soldier looked at Mizunashi Ishida and frowned and said unhappy: "When will Ishida attend such a meeting?"

Hashiba Hidenaga smiled and said, "This is a unique license from my brother. 30% of them are old and have a good general style. The brother is just increasing his experience. 30% of them, you should listen more!" To put it bluntly, even if you smooth things over, Ishida Mitsunaga should not talk too much.

Unexpectedly, Mizuna Ishida smiled and said, "I am just loyal to the Lord and just spoke. Since Lord Hei Tian has made a decision, I am just not talking more."

Although this was polite, it actually expressed his dissatisfaction. Kuroda officer and soldiers were a little annoyed - it was not because of Mizunai Ishida's words, but because of Hideyoshi Hashiba's attitude.

As the leader, his attitude at this time directly showed his importance to his subordinates. Even Hidenaga Hashiba saw his dissatisfaction and spoke out to smooth things over. Hideyoshi Hashiba, as the leader, Hideyoshi, silently and looked at him with interest in a bickering with Mizuna Ishida. This fully demonstrates that the master's attention to this young man is actually no longer inferior to himself!

Suddenly, Kuroda officers and soldiers became interested in Mitsunari Ishida. It was not a disgust, but an interest in outstanding juniors. This was also a reflection of Kuroda officers and soldiers' own qualities and wisdom. His biggest characteristic was that he was good at observing the situation and using the situation.

So Kuroda officer and soldier Wei smiled and said, "The Lord summoned the military discussion, and I hope everyone can speak freely. Since Ishida has ideas, it is better to speak openly so that everyone can learn more about it!"

The attitude of the front and back was 180 degrees, which surprised the whole room. Only Hideyoshi Hashiba was already slapping the fan with a smile.

Mitsunari Ishida was a refreshing person. When he saw Kuroda officer and soldiers say this, he said without hesitation: "Then I will talk! I think, as Kuroda Military Advisor said, the owner behind the Blade Sea Chamber of Commerce in the Ming Dynasty is the root of this series of problems at present!"

As he said that, he ordered people to spread the map of Japan on the table and pointed at him, "This person's surname is Sun and his name is Qilan. He is less than 20 years old, but he is already the three deputy commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty!"

As soon as these words were said, the room suddenly felt a slight sucking in the room. As the one who calls for unification in the world, Hashiba Hideyoshi was just a three-person official. How did this twenty-year-old young man do it?

Mitsunari Ishida continued: "You must be suspicious of this person's identity. After verified, there is no problem with the identity. Sun Qilan was Yoshisun, the former chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Juzhenggong, who made his fortune two years ago. At that time, he was a slutty man and was in a white state. Because the Tatars fought with the Ming army in Guangning, the Ming army general Qi Jiguang appreciated Sun Qilan and boldly activated it. This person was also very wise and brave, and defeated the Tatars many times in two years!"

As he said that, he pointed his finger at the northeastern region of the Ming Dynasty and said: "In the first half of this year, as one of the head coaches, he completely defeated more than 100,000 troops of the Tatars and Jurchens here. At that time, the army he led was only one-third of the opponent!"

There was another scream in surprise in the room! Hashiba Hideyoshi said seriously: "I have heard of this battle too! Although this son is young, he is indeed another rising star after Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang in the Ming Dynasty."

The words of Hashiba Hideyoshi undoubtedly gave Mitsuna Ishida. Everyone listened to Mitsuna Ishida's words more attentively.

Sancheng continued: "Later, because the Ming Dynasty's chief minister Zhang Juzheng was critically ill, the Ming Dynasty court began to fight fiercely. As the new star of the reformist young generation, this son was also a relative of Zhang's chief minister. He was attacked violently by the conservative faction and even threatened his life! As a last resort, he escaped from the Ming Dynasty and went to Japan to sea."

Kuroda officer and soldier nodded and said, "Thirty percent of the information is very accurate! According to my investigation, he started to establish a commercial power in Japan two years ago, focusing on ocean trade. I don't know if he had plans or other reasons."

At this time, Kuroda officer and Budwei said that he seemed to have regarded Mitsuna Ishida as someone who can talk to the same conversation, but in fact he still had a more attitude towards taking Yu Sansheng's teaching exam.

Mizunashi Ishida shook his head and said, "I have no idea about this. But I have found something new about why he colluded with Shibata Katsuya."

Hashiba Hideyoshi frowned and said, "You have never mentioned this matter, just talk about it quickly!"

Mizuna Ishida said in a deep voice: "I got the news a few days ago - according to the spy report we invaded Shibata Katsuya, the reason why Sun Qilan was hostile to our army was mainly because his father, whose name was unknown, was robbed and injured by the Kumano Navy during the sea trade! I don't know whether this matter is true or not, but judging from his attitude and means, it seems that it should be the real situation."

Kuroda officer and soldier Wei nodded slightly and said, "So that's it! No wonder the Kumano Navy was the one who suffered first!"

Mizuna Ishida looked at Kuroda officer and soldier, and then said, "But at present, he has obviously vented his hatred on the whole of our army. From the fact that he joined forces with Shibata Katsuya to provide him with support from all aspects and eliminate potential hidden dangers, it can be seen that he is not satisfied with a temporary blow to the Kumano Navy, but wants to fully support Shibata Katsuya and break with our army!"

Hashiba Hideyoshi asked, "His chamber of commerce base, I remember being in Sakai Port?"

Mizuna Ishida nodded and shook his head again, "It was indeed in Sakai Port before, but not long ago, they had moved their main strongholds to Hakata and Edo. It is said that a new stronghold has been established in Kagoshima recently! Only a small department of remaining business remains in Sakai Port, which is useless to take it!"

Maeda Kyuichi suddenly interrupted: "I don't know the other aspects of the Blade Sea Chamber of Commerce, but the traders have a very good deal." He is in charge of business, so he is naturally very clear.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Maeda Geni continued: "When the Bandhai Chamber of Commerce was established two years ago, it was just a small chamber of commerce that rented its storefront. However, relying on its relationship with the Ming Dynasty, it vigorously launched the tribute trade. In just two years, the tax payment amount increased by more than 47 times! Even in Sakai Port, which has a huge trade volume, it is a large chamber of commerce!"

Mizunari Ishida shook his head and said, "Maeda only knows one thing, not the other. According to my investigation, the Blade Sea Chamber of Commerce has apart from the superficial trade - taxes. The bulk trade mainly comes from the smuggling of arms and jewelry. The share of these goods is nearly twice as high as normal trade!"

Kuroda officer and soldier continued: "And it is understood that Sun Qilan has a group of capable people under his command, who have made achievements in naval forces, iron cannons, and intelligence! Sun Qilan himself is a martial arts master, and he is a master of Lin Qishishi, who is undoubtedly a master of the same world."

A young man who is not yet twenty years old can achieve great achievements in so many aspects, and at this time it has become a stumbling block to his own military power. Everyone attending the meeting felt sad.

Kasuka Koji said disapprovingly: "Why would you better entrust the Zaga to erase it soon?"

Mizunashi Ishida said decisively: "No!"

Hisuka Koji frowned and said angrily: "What's wrong? He's just a Ming Dynasty official who lost his power! Are we afraid of him?"

Mizuna Ishida said in a deep voice: "It is speculated that this person is extremely good at assassination and anti-assassination! During the Ming Dynasty, he played with the Jinyiwei in his palms many times. A few days ago, he fought with Shiyao Shiyao on Seed Island and guarded Shiyao Shiyao in his duel. In actual combat, he defeated Shiyao Hall with muskets!"

This sentence seemed to hit everyone's hearts. Shi Yao from Seed Island was the number one originator of Japan's iron cannons. Even he was defeated, and others were afraid that they would not be qualified to reach out!

And the iron cannon is the assassination artifact of Tianzi No. 1! It seems that offending such a person is indeed unwise!

Hidenaga Hashiba asked, "Since this person is so difficult, how should we get along with him?"

Mizunashi Ishida and Kuroda officers and soldiers looked at each other and said in unison: "Huirou!"

At this point, there was only one and the final consensus in the military discussion of Hideyoshi Hashiba.
Chapter completed!
