Can anyone explain why Toyotomi Hideyoshi is going to invade China in the Ming Dynasty?

/kloc-In the second half of the 6th century, Toyotomi Hideyoshi unified the whole Japan through Bushido. No real skills, absolutely not. How many family members to kill, how many warriors to level, and how many assassins from inside and outside the martial arts world to guard against ... This is definitely not a fantasy in China's martial arts novels, but a real thing. Toyotomi Hideyoshi's mentor and superior Nobutaka Oda was murdered by an assassin sent by his entourage during the trip. After Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu was able to rule the whole Japan only after killing the descendants of his mentor Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

A full face of depression, not angry and arrogant. He was also famous in ancient China, and there were as many as forty or fifty notebooks about him in China. He was described by China folks as a lean man transformed from a dragon, and was finally killed by China Taoist Xu Zhenjun with magical powers.

The emperor was a vassal of Nuo Nuo in front of him and was at his mercy. He is a lean man and despises the ethos of China after the Yuan Dynasty. He is still undecided in the Japanese world. When he was still behind Shinshin Oda, the samurai leader, he declared, "My ambition is to visit North Korea and spy on China." Later, when he met with Ke Liuai, vice president of Japanese Jesuits in Osaka, he even said: "Now Japan has been conquered, its status has been upgraded, and its neighboring countries are under control, and its wealth is abundant. I want nothing more. I just hope that my fame and power will be left to future generations. After everything is stable in Japan, Japan will let its brother (Yuchai Xiuchang) decide to cross the sea in order to conquer North Korea and China. "

This plot reveals two very interesting messages. One is/kloc-There were national Christian organizations in Japan in the 6th century, which shows that their acceptance of western culture and the integration of excellent culture are much faster and more effective than ours. At this time, China's western cultural messengers were forced to retreat to the palace, trying to provide secular services only for the royal family and nobles. The other is Toyotomi Hideyoshi's thought of Japanese expansion. He can be said to be the first real advocate and practitioner of Japanese occupation of Korea and then invasion of China. Later, Japanese warlords followed his plan and thought. For example, in the 20th century, the Japanese warlord first made plans for North Korea, then occupied the northeast, then entered the south of the Yangtze River, and then invaded India to dominate Asia, which was exactly the same as his strategic policy.

This Toyotomi Hideyoshi is a man who makes no secret of his ambition. In a letter to his concubine Asano Shi, he said: "In my lifetime, I swear to incorporate the territory of the Tang Dynasty (Ming Dynasty) into my territory."

For thousands of years, North Korea has indeed been a barrier to China's east. When Toyotomi Hideyoshi invaded China, the first thing to deal with was North Korea. 1590 wrote to the king of Korea, saying that he would make a false trip to North Korea: "I want to make a false trip to your country, cross the mountains and seas, and take a straight view, so that its 400 States can do their best to govern for a hundred years. This is my old ambition. " Of course, this request was rejected by North Korea, which was a subordinate country of the Ming Dynasty at that time.

In the second year, Toyotomi Hideyoshi gave his official position (Guan Bai) to his adopted son Toyotomi Hidetsugu, calling himself "Taige", specializing in military preparations for invading China. After the soldiers were fully prepared, he announced the preparatory order to move the capital to Beijing like a snake: "Fengtian Emperor Tang Dynasty (Ming Dynasty) was in Kyoto (moving the capital to Beijing), but in the next year, ten countries (counties) near the capital (Beijing) and" My son (adopted son) came from hundreds of countries (counties) around "can be provided to the emperor. I just sit in China and enjoy myself. Soon he announced that he would "cross the sea by Japanese boat and live in Ningbo House" because Ningbo House "is close to Tianzhu" (India) in order to "respect the imperial edict and occupy Tianzhu".

Toyotomi Hideyoshi painted a beautiful picture of the Japanese Empire ruling Asia 500 years ago.

In the 20th year of Wanli (1592), Toyotomi Hideyoshi seized the Japanese headquarters, remotely controlled 200,000 Lu Haijun, launched a surprise attack, and invaded North Korea from Busan, Kyeongchang and Jinhai. A few days later, the local soldiers and civilians fled in succession, and the king of Korea abandoned Beijing and fled, so he had to send someone to ask for help from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. More than a month later, Pyongyang was breached again, and the Japanese army went straight to Tumen River near the border between China and North Korea. Almost the whole of Korea has fallen. "So, Hideyoshi was stationed in North Korea's Wang Jing, the president (Hideyoshi's general) occupied Pyongyang, and Zheng Zheng was stationed in Anbian. The Japanese army stationed troops along the way and contacted each other. It really meant to make Liaodong take Beijing directly. "

China usually thinks that Japan is a small island country. At the moment, the army is aggressive, the vassal state is occupied, the border court is in danger, and people are in panic. The main battle was for peace, and the court hesitated. It was not until Emperor Wanli realized that "the lips were dead and the teeth were cold" that he decided to send troops.

General Zu Chengxun led 50,000 troops into Korea, but he got off to a bad start and was defeated by the Japanese in Pyongyang. Ming Chengzu also sent general Li into North Korea, and the result was not satisfactory. At this time, the Ming Dynasty and the Korean royal family were quite afraid of the Japanese army and had illusions, hoping that the peace talks with Japan would be successful. Toyotomi Hideyoshi also sent people to buy off the court ministers represented by Lord and Shen Weijing, spreading rumors, confusing people and disturbing people's hearts.

At this critical moment, North Korea produced a national hero, Li Shunchen, who led the navy and the Japanese army in two decisive battles at sea, wiped out the elite Japanese troops and curbed the army's attempt to invade China. At this time, South China's reinforcements turned defeat into victory and joined hands with North Korean soldiers and civilians to recover Pyongyang, Seoul and Kaesong. ...

Seeing that the general trend was not good, Toyotomi Hideyoshi instigated Shen Weijing of China's imperial court to jump up and down, and also provoked and used the party struggle in North Korea. As a result, although the allied forces of China and North Korea won, they went to talk with Japan and Japan. Although Toyotomi Hideyoshi "defeated Rong Rong", he even put forward seven conditions for making peace with China. It is strange to hear that, for example, the daughter of Emperor China is going to marry Japan, and North Korea will always be called a vassal of Japan, and North Korea will pay five million and two thousand pieces of silver. ...

1On September 3rd, 596, the envoys of the Ming Dynasty met with Toyotomi Hideyoshi in Osaka, read out the imperial edict that Ming Chengzu granted him the title of "King of Japan", and gave him a golden seal and coronation. Toyotomi Hideyoshi flew into a rage and threw the imperial edict on the ground, which angered the envoys of North Korea and Daming. The Sino-Japanese peace talks, which lasted more than two years, broke down.

Emperor Daming was also angry, and the more he felt that Dongyi lacked credibility in this state. But I didn't know that because China had no research on this eastern neighbor and knew nothing about its national sports system, he even sealed a king, which angered the warrior.

1597, Toyotomi tore up the peace treaty and sent troops again, but was quickly defeated by Li Shunchen, and the army was also in a bitter battle and was often ambushed. Another year passed, and when Toyotomi Hideyoshi saw that the plan could not be realized, he fell ill with anxiety and anger. Before he died, he suddenly said to him, "Don't make me a hundred thousand overseas ghosts" and died.

The Japanese kept the news of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's death secret for fear of losing morale, but secretly withdrew their troops. Their 100,000 soldiers almost became overseas ghosts. The Chinese and Korean navies intercepted at sea and the naval battle was fierce. Li Shunchen, a Korean national hero, and Chen Lin, commander-in-chief of the South Korean navy, both died heroically.

Although China won the war, it cost a lot. The Ming dynasty spent a lot of money to resist Japan and aid Korea, and the military expenditure for aiding Korea alone was about 24 million taels, not including horses, machinery, gunpowder and other expenses. According to the current price comparison, everyone in China will get a stone of rice.
