Today, let's continue the story of the Maeda family, the second family that was greatly influenced by the Battle of Sekigahara.
Now I cut the plot from the perspective of Maeda Toshimasa, the second son of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's good brother (Maeda Toshiie), or from 1598:
According to the regular plot deduction, the Maeda Toshika is approaching the deadline, his health is not as good as before, and he has bowed to the Tokugawa family to avoid the strategic confrontation between the two elders.
In order to maintain the internal order of the follow-up family, the Li family also made a last word and other explanations:
Moreover, the Toshiya family also knew that the relationship between the second son Toshimasa and the eldest son (the heir Maeda Toshinaga) was not good, and made a special explanation, hoping to use this arrangement to ease the relationship between the two brothers and at the same time resolve the gap between the Maeda family and the Tokugawa family
As the "dog" of the Warring States, the Maeda Toshiya still has a long-term idea, that is, the word "drag", that is, after Ieyasu dies, he will make plans after the heir of the Toyotomi family grows up. Of course, it is not enough to put the Maeda family into it:
It's a pity that a generation of heroes ended like this.
At this time, as the mother of Li Chang and Li Zheng, life is not easy:
Later, Toshinaga's mother went to the Tokugawa side as a hostage in order to save her son and family, so in terms of the situation, Maeda Toshinaga's side had already joined the Eastern Army, and he actually contributed to the Eastern Army (Tokugawa side) in the Hokuriku region.
However, Li Zheng joined the Western Army and was defeated and confiscated the territory. Of course, Li Zheng didn't expect that his brother would have no children to inherit his life, and he missed the opportunity to make meritorious contributions because he stood on the wrong team for the first time and was too cautious for the second time, and also missed the opportunity to inherit the family.
In the end, the heir of the Maeda family is the concubine of the Li family, of course, this person is still very good at preserving the family and developing it.
Although the Maeda family was not inherited by his son-in-law, the family at least survived, and did not suffer any losses due to the war, and on the whole, it was a good end. In short, its fate is much better than that of the affected families that will be discussed next time.
