Does anyone agree with me? Toyotomi Hideyoshi is a big joke. He is too greedy, and the snake swallows the elephant, and the result is to support himself.

Let me help you analyze it. Toyotomi Hideyoshi comes from humble origins, but he is ambitious. He is the only farmer in Japanese history who has become the highest actual ruler. At that time, foreign countries didn't know there was an emperor, thinking that the shogunate was the king of Japan. Because Toyotomi Hideyoshi is a civilian, he can't preside over the opening ceremony. He came to power only through the surname of the emperor (Guan Bai, Minister of Zheng Tai), but I suspect that his personal ambition is not just to conquer foreign generals. And he urgently needs the meritorious military service to improve his position. Second, because of the sharp domestic contradictions in previous wars in Japan, foreign wars are the best way to unify the caliber. Third, because there was trade between Japan and the Ming Dynasty, all the luxury goods in Japan were basically provided by the Ming Dynasty. Toyotomi Hideyoshi was a small peasant, lustful and greedy, so he took risks after seeing the great wealth of the Ming Dynasty. Fourthly, due to the long Japanese war, when he arrived in Toyotomi Hideyoshi, he already had a huge army. The biggest difference between Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu is that a large part of the Toyotomi regime is appeasement and surrender, and they also have great strength. However, Tokugawa's suppression of names made the country have no names that could compete with the Tokugawa regime. In addition, the troops of the Fengchen regime need to be paid and their names need to be fiefs. At that time, Japan's fiefs were basically enfeoffed, and there was only one way for him to avoid disaster. In fact, the Ming dynasty was not much better at that time. Emperor Wanli did not go to court for decades, and the whole country was in chaos. Because of the frequent trade between China and Japan at that time, I think Hideyoshi's old habit (he first specialized in intelligence work under Nobunaga) must have known something about the Ming Dynasty, so he sent troops to conquer it. He also clearly knows that it is a long way to go directly to Daming Sea Road, and the loss is great. Attacking Korea in Ma Haixia can explore the attitude of Ming Dynasty, and laying down Korea can be used as a base for attacking Ming Dynasty.
