In the chaotic world, if you want to become a tyrant, you have to pay far more than ordinary people think; not only do you have to be very prominent in your own ability, but you must also be fierce enough, not only to the enemy, but also to the people around you, especially to yourself. For example, Cao Cao, why do we say that Cao Cao is a generation of tyrants? Because Cao Cao not only accepted zhang Xiu, the enemy who killed his son, but also formed a family with Zhang Xiu, this hidden tolerance and cruelty were really very human.
In the Sengoku period in Japan, there were also several tyrants, the most representative of which were Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu; Tokugawa Ieyasu was able to kill his wife and children, and this hidden tolerance was naturally fierce enough, so it was called "turtle"; and Toyotomi Hideyoshi could leap from a small pariah to become a Taikoku who commanded the world, which naturally paid more, and here, let's see how fierce Toyotomi Hideyoshi really is.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi's mother had two daughters and two sons, Toyotomi Hideyoshi had a half-brother above, a half-brother (Toyotomi Hidenaga) and a half-sister (Asahihihi) below; Toyotomi Hideyoshi and younger brother Toyotomi Hidenaga were both outstanding figures, but somehow it was difficult for both of them to have sons, even if Toyotomi Hideyoshi later had a group of wives and concubines.
In middle age, he gave birth to Toyotomi Hidekatsu with Nandian, and as a result, this Toyotomi Hidekatsu died early at the age of six; and then chacha gave birth to a Toyotomi Tsurumatsu, but he did not expect to die of illness when Toyotomi Tsurumatsu was about two years old. However, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's sister Toyotomi Hihide was quite able to give birth, and she and the peasant husband Miyoshi Yoshifu had three sons in succession, these three sons were Toyotomi Hideji, Toyotomi Hidekatsu, and Toyotomi Hideho.
This Toyotomi Hideji and Toyotomi Hidekatsu were successively passed on to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, of which Toyotomi Hidekatsu was quite talented, and made many great achievements, serving as a general in the Ninth Army in the Battle of Korea, but died of illness on Geoje Island in Korea at the age of 23; and Toyotomi Hideji was not bad, except for the defeat of komaki Nagaku-tetsu, the other battles were relatively smooth, and in domestic politics, the young Toyotomi Hidetsuji was also up to the standard of an enlightened monarch.
However, after the birth of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's third biological son, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the son who had succeeded him, was tragic, although history says that he was exiled to Koyasan because he did many inhumane things, and then he was killed. However, because the change between Toyotomi Hideji and the historical controversy was so abrupt, many people thought it was a conspiracy; soon after Toyotomi Hideji's death, thirty-eight of his wives and daughters were beheaded by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in Mijōgawara, Kyoto.
And because of Toyotomi Hideji, Toyotomi Hideyoshi also exiled her brother-in-law Miyoshi Yoshifu to TheAki Kingdom; by the way, she also had a third son, Toyotomi Hideho, who although he passed on to Toyotomi Hideshi, died of illness at the age of 17; in short, all three sons of Toyotomi Hideyoshi were gone, and Toyotomi Hishu received one blow after another, and in discouragement, he chose to become a monk, and in Kyoto's Sagano Kensei-ji Temple, he prayed to Toyotomi Hideji every day.
For example, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was obviously more ruthless to his sister; this Asahihi hime was initially married to a farmer in Owari Kingdom; later, Toyotomi Hideyoshi made Asahihihi's husband Asahihime's husband Asahihi Mori, but later, for some reason, during Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Nagahama Castle period, Hyuga Mori committed suicide, and Asahihihi returned to singleness. Later, Asahihi married Hideyoshi's vassal, Vice-Tada Yoshinori (Shibei), and the relationship between the husband and wife was very good.
However, after the Battle of Komaki Nagakute, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu made peace. Toyotomi Hideyoshi, in order to contain Ieyasu and make Tokugawa Ieyasu a vassal of him, decided to marry the middle-aged Asahime to Tokugawa Ieyasu as his successor (Chikuzan-den was dead at the time). Moreover, in order to divorce Ji Cheng and his sister, he also proposed to Ji Cheng that "if you divorce Xu Ji, you will increase your fiefdom of 50,000 stones."
However, although Ji Cheng and Xu Ji divorced, he refused the fief of 50,000 stones, and after the divorce, he went out of his home and lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests. In this way, the forty-four-year-old Asahihi married the forty-five-year-old Tokugawa Ieyasu and became Tokugawa Ieyasu's successor. Later, Asahime's mother, Ōmasa, fell ill, so Asahihi took care of her mother and temporarily lived in Jurakudi, and has never returned to Tokugawa Ieyasu since, which shows that Asahihi is not happy after marrying Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Speaking of which, this Toyotomi Hideyoshi was really cruel enough to pit the family; the sister gave birth to three sons, in addition to the two early deaths, Toyotomi Hideji, who had a hard time thriving, and as a result, he was destroyed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, which was really tragic. The younger brother Toyotomi Hidenaga, although very good, is also a queen; finally there is the younger sister Asahihi, who was originally quite good in his first two marriages, but they were both broken up, and finally forced to marry Tokugawa Ieyasu.
It can be said that before Toyotomi Hideyoshi's death, of all the immediate male relatives of the Toyotomi clan, only the youngest son, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, was gone; in fact, if it were not for the thin males of the Toyotomi clan, Tokugawa Ieyasu might not have been able to succeed in Luoluo. As for Toyotomi Hideyoshi, in fact, the origin is quite suspicious, because according to the records, this Toyotomi Hideyoshi looks nothing like Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but is somewhat similar to Toyotomi Hideyoshi's courtier Ishida Sansei, both are extremely tall and handsome...
