After a period all homes of some, I'm sorry, tupilni, go back to the history of the Blessed Isles. Traditions should be honored, so here's a divine Ayumi. Without it - anywhere. We, meanwhile, are approaching the period of the unification of Japan, which, as we recall from the previous post, the first half of the XVI century, still managed all homes to slide into something suspiciously reminiscent of feudal fragmentation.

Imdzhinskaya war Like any self-respecting empire, Japan by the end of the XVI century firmly convinced that with a cheerful mess with kinglet in every village time to tie. For this mission took Oda Nabunaga, the owner is very wealthy area of Owari. He succeeded in ousting the Muromachi Shogunate, enlisted the support all homes of Christianity, all homes which, as we recall, was not the least power in Japan, began to suppress any decentralizing tendencies, cracking down as secular threats and some Buddhist monks, who were not averse to play politics ( and you thought Christianity - the only religion that climbed in all holes with their ear? Haha). Nobunaga then killed one of his generals, but with the return of dashing 90 Japanese poshiba went wrong: the place of Nobunaga's got one of his associates, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who managed to stand at the head of the country, a number of reforms to do ... Then there was nothing . Somehow, all homes in those days, when the governor was getting nothing to do - he started something aggressive. Toyotomi Hideyoshi decided not to break tradition and appealed to the Korean Joseon Dynasty with a proposal all homes to divide the joint efforts of China to zero. However, Koreans know whether the Japanese are better than those we would like to, you know, modern gaming language, pissed all homes ... In general, Hideyoshi got the heave-ho. Not to say that such a turn of his highly pleased, so that instead of China the Japanese began to plan the seizure all homes of Korea. In 1592, the year the invasion, which deserves the proud title of "Blitzkrieg". May 25 taken strategically important fortress Busan and Tonne, within all homes twenty days - busy Seoul. And this despite all homes the fact that the only means of transportation in those days were carts and horses ... Korean army was disastrously unprepared for the war, so hardened in recent feuds samurai army actually did not meet much resistance something sane. Korean court fled to the north, where China began to bombard the requests for help - by the way, at that time, Korea was a vassal of China. In China, some were taken aback and began to doubt, not whether they make a fool of Koreans: in that twenty days of Korea can be destroyed, there frankly do not believe. However, we had to believe it. Then the trouble started in the north of Korea lived tribe churchzheney that Koreans do not like. They met the Japanese as liberators from the Korean oppression, however, it quickly became clear that instead of the occupation comes Korean Japanese occupation, and an owl on a tree stump and the stump of the owl gives approximately the same result. Sounds funny, but mnogazhdy broken Koreans churchzheni asked Japanese glorious bashing, stop the Japanese advance. In the occupied territories began a guerrilla war, but then there's the Korean fleet under the command of Li Sunsina won a series of victories, from China came the first group of Ming dynasty, including the war and immediately attempted to fight off the Japanese Pyongyang. However, Pyongyang under Japanese inflicted several defeats on the Chinese, but in the end, were driven out by the Chinese commander Li Zhusunom. The Japanese army was still ready for combat, but a number of naval victories Koreans actually snapped occupation troops from Japan, and commander of the Korean fleet Lee Sunsina awarded glory of the great commander and national hero. In 1593, the year the Japanese offer peace talks. Those agree. The negotiation process is delayed ... Chinese and Japanese generals are reluctant to fight and find a common language alive. Ming dynasty in China receives a message of unconditional surrender of the Japanese army. The Japanese government - that the Chinese army is completely destroyed. What was going on in the minds of the generals of the time - I'm afraid to imagine. Koreans tried to remind the Chinese and the Japanese, all homes they also want to participate in the negotiations. They recommended to shove their wishes ... But do not talk about it. The bottom line is that Hideyoshi and briefed on the "capitulation of China", the Chinese emperor raises a number of openly arrogant demands. In principle, the Chinese emperor makes about the same, naturally assuming that the Japanese capitulated considerably restrain all homes their appetites. The confusion came out spectacular. When Hideyoshi finally get to the truth, he was enraged enough to personally people marked "negotiators" and tell taken for a new campaign. Here, at an opportune moment, the Korean government sent Lee Sunsina behind bars, fearing that
