Yukinaga was glad to
greet Christians who came to this district. This was the desperate act which Yukinaga
continued to do from the time when he was in Shodo island. From this, we can
see that Yukinaga awed and served God more than Hideyoshi.
With protection of
Christians by Yukinaga, about 30,000 Christians lived in this area. I wonder how
glad Yukinaga was when he looked at this sight.
Yukinaga must have felt the joy when he thought
that he would go to Heaven together with those who believed Jesus Christ.
Under such situation, Hedeyoshi told Yukinaga about sending troops to Korea.
Yukinaga did not agree with sending troops from the beginning.
It was because he did not want to burden people with a war and he also
knew that Japan would have a better relationship with Korea through peaceful
acquaintances and trade rather than war because he had been to foreign
countries as a merchant.
Although Yukinaga continued to make efforts not to make war, Hideyoshi commanded him to send troops to Korea.
