Ask Yamaoka Sōhachi's masterpiece Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Data Masamune.

Yamaoka Sōhachi's writing style is fascinating. If you read in bed before going to bed, you will suddenly find that it is dawn. Because the author uses the novel genre and revolves around the bones of historical facts, his imagination is fully liberated and unconstrained, allowing us to see the true colors of a nation.

-writer Bai Yang

If we want to re-evaluate the value of modern people with the background of ancestors, then Data Masamune can be said to be the most typical figure. Among the military commanders in the Warring States period, he is one of the few famous generals who can be compared with Nobunaga 4. So when I began to record his life track, the author consciously added more life experiences to comfort readers.

—— Author Yamaoka Sōhachi

As long as you want to succeed, you will succeed. People must seize the opportunity to create a global trend, otherwise they will live in poverty and obscurity all their lives. In other words, only by grasping the opportunity agilely, cooperating with the appropriate scheme, and adapting to the situation, can we make a blockbuster. On the contrary, once you let the opportunity slip through your fingers, you will eventually become a loser.

-Data Masamune, commander-in-chief of the Warring States.

I think Data Masamune is really well written. Not only is the article good, but the characterization is also very real. An indomitable political faction is on the page. He has nobunaga's arrogance, Hideyoshi's cunning and Konka's forbearance. Indeed, like the Japanese character, he is bold and unrestrained, arrogant but not cunning, not at the mercy of difficulties, and strives for development in adversity.

-Famous scholar Tokugawa Jingming

Because Konka created the edo shogunate, the Tokugawa Ieyasu I first read was magnificent and full of tension. Because nobunaga is the sixth day, and the devil is the second to see nobunaga, which is fascinating and fascinating; Because Xiuji is a civilian, the third time I watched Toyotomi Hideyoshi, it tasted like rain and was intriguing. Because I like Zong Zheng, I watched Data Masamune for the fourth time, which was thought-provoking and mysterious.

Compared with Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi gives the impression of being cold and empty, while Toyotomi Hideyoshi gives the impression of being approachable and cordial. Besides, he can climb to the top of power through a poor peasant's child.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi

Point, naturally exudes the charm of a rebellious hero. Therefore, the people in the Edo era, who were bound by the identity system, were full of yearning for Toyotomi Hideyoshi's success story, with a somewhat Toyotomi Hideyoshi complex. As a result, a large number of Hideyoshi generations were published in the Edo period. Among them, the most representative work is Tai Geji. There are many works of the same name in Taigeji, but due to different authors, the title of Taigeji is given the author's name. For example, Mei Di Gao Si Fu An's work is called Fu An Tai Ge Ji; Uemon's work is called Kawaguchi Taigeji. If the topic is just Taigeji, it generally refers to Fuan Taigeji. In addition, there is an illustrated picture book "Taige Ji" written by Takeuchi Quezhai and drawn by Okada Yushan, which naturally became a best seller at that time. However, it must be noted that no matter what version of Biography of Taige, its content is far from historical facts, and all kinds of anecdotes are recorded, but it is not known whether it is historical facts or stories fabricated by the author.

Among the various versions of Taige Collection, the book Taige Susheng Collection, which is based on the knowledge of tulou, has a high credibility for young Xiuji. But the content of this book is not so much a work as a compilation of oral interviews, which is more appropriate and collects all kinds of information about Xiuji's childhood.

It is said that Hideyoshi sold needles in Donghai Road when he was young, and finally went to Ma Yin (today's Hamamatsu City) to be employed by Matsushita, the retainer of Imagawa Yoshimoto. Three years later, 1554, 18-year-old Xiuji returned to Zhang Wei and met her former playmates. At this time, Ichiro has become the junior leader (junior warrior) under Nonaga Oda. So under the recommendation of Ichiro, Hideyoshi also became a minor under Nobunaga. Since then, Xiuji has been a junior, junior leader, barefoot, barefoot leader and barefoot general, and married the later Beizhengfu (You) in 156 1 year. 1573, after Nobu destroyed the shallow well by the river, Xiuji was rewarded by three counties along the river in the north. Since then, Xiuji has also become the head of a country and a city, and his surname has been changed from "Muxia" to "Yuchai".

In addition to her own efforts, Hideyoshi's fortune is also very good. For example, 1582, when Honnoji Temple was changed, the secret letter that Walking had been assassinated, because the messenger went to the wrong camp, actually let Hideyoshi take the lead. In addition, at the same time of unifying the world, due to the progress of mining and metallurgy technology (blowing and digging), the output of gold and silver in Japan increased greatly during the period of repairing. Therefore, backed by abundant financial resources, Toyotomi Hideyoshi is constantly building cities (Osaka Castle, Fujiantao Mountain City and Giant Le Di), expanding domestic demand, and thus promoting social and economic prosperity.

Another key to Hideyoshi's success lies in his political wisdom. As mentioned earlier, the site that first promoted Xiuji to become "the master of one country and one city" was on the riverside. Since ancient times, there has been a prosperous business environment because of the Biwa Lake on the riverside and the trunk roads connecting Kyoto. So when it comes to riverside, it will naturally remind people of riverside businessmen. When most noble families don't know how to pay attention to business and treat businessmen with courtesy, Xiuji understands the truth that "abacus is better than weapons". Toyotomi Hideyoshi has seen that the era when one shot can reach the sky will no longer exist. He keeps hiring some retainers who are good at managing money in Jinjiang. These people are regarded as officials or followers compared with those martial arts that fight the world with guns. There are many family ministers from the rivers near Xiuji, such as Ishida Mitsunari, Masayoshi Masuda, Masaya Changdao, Katagiri Katsumoto, Jirun Miyabe and Yoshisi Gu. In Hideyoshi's leadership team, these retainers who were born on the riverside will naturally make decisions full of riverside businessmen's personality.
