Who was the Japanese invaders in China during the Ming Dynasty and the Warring States Period?

Toyotomi Hideyoshi was the pioneer of Japanese conquest of Asia and the first person to break away from China culture.

During the Warring States Period in Japan, there were frequent wars and countless lives. This is an era of reshuffle. Needless to say, people's sufferings, a large number of old aristocrats were also killed in the war, the emerging samurai "Guo Zhong" rose, and the whole of Japan was divided into 66 countries.

Xintai Xintai, the famous Xintai Xintai, acceded to the throne at the age of 18, but he was stubborn. Running amok all day, watching the mountains and rivers of his ancestors be destroyed by him, a loyal courtier really couldn't stand it, so he committed suicide to remonstrate. Xintai suddenly came back as a prodigal son and never changed his mind. From then on, he repented and turned over a new leaf and became a great English master.

1567, Nobunaga imitated the story of King Qishan of Zhou Wen, annexed barnyard and built Gifu City to show his ambition of unifying the whole country, thus opening the great cause of unifying Japan.

Nobunaga's army used Portuguese muskets, which were extremely sharp and invincible in the war of reunification. 1568, Nobuyasu Oda's army occupied Kyoto and became a vassal with the help of the Emperor. 1573, Nobutaka Oda deposed the shogunate, and the Muromachi shogunate perished. 1575, Oda Shintai fought Takeda and his son in Takeda Shingen. Takeda's cavalry is brave and good at fighting, and is famous all over Japan, but it was defeated by Oda Xintai's musket.

Xiuji, born in poverty, lost his father at the age of eight, remarried with his mother, and became a drag, even without a surname. Because he was too poor and thin as a teenager, he was dubbed "monkey".

Hideyoshi doesn't want to be so poor all his life. At the age of twenty, he devoted himself to the torrent of the vigorous merger war and became a pawn in Nobuyuki ODA's subordinates. As a result, he developed, lost his shackles and gained the country.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi, with his intelligence and ability honed in the bitter life, quickly emerged and was appreciated by Nobunobu. 1569, Hideyoshi became the guardian of Kyoto. 1573, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was awarded a large territory by Nobunaga, ranking among the famous soldiers. Since then, Hideyoshi has followed the footsteps of life and death, and has repeatedly made outstanding achievements.

1582, Hideyoshi went out to be besieged, and Oda Nobunaga led the troops to rescue him. On the way, I camped at Benye Temple in Kyoto. Akechi Mitsuhide, the minister who was oppressed too much at ordinary times, suddenly defected and surrounded Oda in the temple. Suddenly, Nobuyoshi Oda was unprepared, had no reinforcements, and did not want to be captured by the minister. Finally, he simply set himself on fire. A generation of heroes fell.

After learning this, Hideyoshi quickly returned to the army to crusade against the rebels, and soon defeated the wise men's army and killed the rebels.

At this time, Nobunaga's great cause of reunification has just been half completed. In all 66 countries, Nobunaga has acquired half of the territory, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi has completed the remaining unfinished business. After Toyotomi Hideyoshi killed Akechi Mitsuhide, he pretended to be the heir of Nobu, which led to Nobu's rebellion. Toyotomi Hideyoshi suppressed the resistance of Nobunaga Philosophers and Etiquette successively, and then continued the war of unifying Japan, and finally basically unified the whole country in 1587.

1583, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was based in Osaka Castle and later became the second largest city in Japan.

Hideyoshi made great contributions to reunification and requested the position of "conquering foreign generals" from the Emperor. But the emperor's ministers looked down on his humble origin and resolutely opposed it. Xiuji had to be demoted as "Guan Bai" and dismissed as whimsical by ministers. However, the emperor was awed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi's power, and despite the opposition of ministers, he was named Guan Bai and changed his surname to Toyotomi. Hideyoshi was always troubled by her birth, and later fabricated a rumor that her mother worked for the emperor, suggesting that she might be the emperor's queen.

After Toyotomi Hideyoshi unified Japan, the country was well governed, and Japan, which had been in war for years, was prosperous and peaceful for a while.

This may be because Toyotomi Hideyoshi was born in a humble family, and there were no rules and regulations in his mind. He didn't worship China culture like the upper-middle class in Japanese society. When he saw that Japan had settled down, he sprouted the idea of establishing an Asian empire and acting as the Asian hegemon. He is determined to show it in a wider space than Japan.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi is determined to give up the Japanese worship of China culture and conquer China. Conquering Korea first, then India, and establishing a great Asian empire including Japan, China, India and Korea is the beginning of Japan's thought of conquering Asia for hundreds of years.

1592, Toyotomi Hideyoshi led180,000 troops to wage war against the kingdom of Korea, a subsidiary country of the Ming Empire, and quickly occupied most of Korea. The king fled and asked the suzerain Ming Dynasty for help.

At this point, Toyotomi Hideyoshi high-spirited, unique insights. In his letter to his family, he said that he would soon live in Ningbo, the kingdom of Daming, because it was close to India, which was convenient for him to direct the war to conquer India. He also ordered his son, Toyotomi Hidetsugu, to conquer Beijing and its surrounding counties 100 in the second year, move the capital to Beijing, and let the emperor live in Beijing.

1592, 40,000 Ming troops led by General Li of the Ming Dynasty entered Korea and fought fiercely with Japanese troops led by Japanese generals to recover Seoul. Toyotomi Hideyoshi returned to Japan, leaving Konishi Yukinaga and others at the southern tip of Korea. Japan held peace talks with Japan, but the talks broke down because of the great differences between the two sides.

1597, Toyotomi Hideyoshi sent140,000 marines into North Korea, determined to compete with the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming army led by General Xing Jun and veteran Deng Zilong defeated the Japanese army. Toyotomi Hideyoshi's dream of conquering Korea went bankrupt.

The failure of foreign war made Toyotomi Hideyoshi criticized by thousands of people at once, and there was a lot of domestic abuse. The aristocratic ministers who once looked down on him were even more angry. He fell ill on August 1598 and finally died of qi disease. The Japanese army was also forced to completely withdraw from North Korea.

After Toyotomi Hideyoshi's death, his family declined rapidly, while another department, Tokugawa Ieyasu, which weaves Xintian Xintai, rose. 1600 is the year when the warrior Mikhail unified Romania. Tokugawa Ieyasu won the Guanyuan War and became the national hegemon in one fell swoop. 1603, Tokugawa Ieyasu became a general who conquered foreign countries, established the Tokugawa shogunate in Edo, and began Tokugawa's rule over Japan for 260 years.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was born in poverty, worked hard to establish the great cause of reunifying Japan. Trapped by his own background, he tried to prove himself all his life, but at the peak of his career, he mistakenly launched a war against Ming, which eventually became a fatal blow to him, making his life achievements go up in smoke and he became a tragic hero.

The following is the general situation of aiding Korea and resisting Japan:

The total strength of the Japanese army is about150,000. After the troops landed in Busan, they marched in, occupied Seoul, Kaesong and Pyongyang successively, advanced into Hamgyong Road and approached the border of China. However, its navy was defeated by Li Shunchen on the idle mountain island.

1at the end of 592, the Ming dynasty began to send troops to Korea to participate in the war. The following year, Li was recaptured by the Ming Dynasty in Pyongyang and Kaesong, and the Japanese army was forced to retreat to two coastal cities, Gyeongsang and Jeolla, and began peace talks with the Ming Dynasty.

At the beginning of 1597, the peace talks broke down, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi successively sent140,000 troops and hundreds of warships into North Korea again. On June+10, 5438, Li Shunchen defeated the Japanese in the naval battle in Liang Ming, and the Ming army re-entered Korea, hitting the Japanese hard in Jishan and Qingshan, forcing them to retreat to Ulsan, Suichuan and Shuntian. 1598 In August, Toyotomi Hideyoshi died of illness, and all Japanese troops retreated. In the Ming dynasty, the allied forces pursued after it, and finally annihilated more than 10 thousand Japanese troops in the exposed sea area, and the remnants returned to China, and the war ended.

The Battle of Xianshan Island (A.D. 1592)

1592, after the Japanese invaded Korea, the army marched straight in, while the navy was attacked by Li Shunchen, the general of the North Korean water army, in Yupu, Yongdengpu and Chizhenpu, causing numerous material losses. In order to replenish the army's materials in time, Japanese navy general Jia Long, an alcoholic, sent a three-way fleet to invade North Korea and fought a decisive battle with Li Shunchen's fleet in front of the idle mountain island. The water depth of the idle mountain island is conducive to the turtle boat action of the Korean army. At first, the Korean army used a small-scale offensive to lure the Japanese into the encirclement. After the Japanese army all entered, the main force hidden in the north of the idle mountain island immediately spread out the crane wing array and defeated the Japanese army from the front and side. This battle * * * destroyed 59 Japanese warships and killed thousands of people. It is known as the triumph of Xianshan Island in history. Shortly thereafter, Li Shunchen completely wiped out the remaining enemy forces in Angup.

Victory in Pyongyang (A.D. 1593)

10/3, 1593, Li, a general of the Ming Dynasty, led 43,000 troops into Suchuan. 654381October 6, surrounded Pyongyang and launched a general attack the next day. The Japanese generals had a favorable geographical position, retreated and kept shooting with muskets in the earth cave of Lianguangge, while Li stormed and fought with the advantage of quantity. Both sides suffered heavy casualties, and even Li's mount was shot and killed. Finally, the Ming army was exhausted and forced to retreat. But Konishi Yukinaga was too exhausted to fight any more. He led the disabled soldiers across the frozen Datong River overnight and fled to the south. Li sent troops after him, killing more than 600 people. This battle * * * annihilated the Japanese army 1646, captured 5 people alive, and the Ming army suffered 796 casualties.
