"Returning from the 'Chinese region' to the 'Gyeonggi'... Ha, what a coincidence, the 'China Return' is happening again!"

…

Japan's "Chinese region" mainly refers to the western part of Honshu Oshima, including Harima, Mimasaku, Bizen, Binchu, Bingo, Aki, Shubo, Nagato, Tanba, Tango, Tajima, Inaba, Hoki,

Izumo, Iwami and Oki, a total of sixteen countries.

The "Great Return of China" was a famous event in Japan's Warring States Period.

On June 2, the tenth year of Tensho (1582), the Honnoji Temple Incident broke out. Mitsuhide Akechi rebelled and killed the master, Oda Nobunaga.

From the night of June 3rd to the early morning of June 4th, when Hashiba Hideyoshi - the future Toyotomi Hideyoshi - who was in China and fighting with the Mori family, learned that Oda Nobunaga was killed, he immediately blocked the news and pretended that nothing happened.

, used a high-pressure attitude to intimidate the Maori family, and finally succeeded in signing a peace treaty on favorable terms.

After the peace treaty was signed, Hideyoshi Hashiba quickly launched a retreat and led an army of 20,000 back to Gyeonggi.

He ordered the sergeants to be in good order during the day, with the flags in order, and at night to gather the flags and run with all their strength.

This unprecedented scale of retreat is known in history as "China's Great Return."

The "China Great Return" took 8 to 10 days.

It is about 200 kilometers from the starting point of Takamatsu Castle to the ending point of Yamazaki, with an average daily march of 20-25 kilometers.

An army of 20,000 people marched 20-25 kilometers a day on backward road conditions... In the feudal era, this was really an incredible achievement! It is not an exaggeration to call it a miracle in Japan's ancient military history.

In the end, the Hashiba Army's rapid march seized the battlefield opportunity, successfully defeated the Akechi Army in the battle of Tennoyama, avenged Oda Nobunaga, and accumulated political capital that was superior to the others.

It is no exaggeration to say that the "Great Return of China" was the starting point for Hashiba Hideyoshi to replace Oda Nobunaga as the overlord of Japan and establish the Toyotomi Taikaku.

The world must have never imagined that after nearly three hundred years, the "Great Return of China" would be staged again!
