The Toyotomi Clan had taken over.

丰臣氏族已经接管了政权。

As we said, he was a patient man and he knew that Toyotomi wouldn't rule forever.

正如我们所说，他是一个耐心的人，他知道丰臣秀吉不会永远统治。

And speaking of Toyotomi, the clan was now led by hideyoshi's original heir, his son Hideyori.

说到丰臣秀吉，这个氏族现在由秀吉的初始继承人、他的儿子丰臣秀赖领导。

Since Tokugawa was the last thorn in Hideyoshi's side, his submission made it official that Toyotomi was now the man in charge.

由于德川是丰臣秀吉的最后的敌人，他的臣服正式宣布丰臣秀吉现在是掌权者。

Afterward the Shogun dissolved the Toyotomi Clan, showing everyone else that he was absolutely ruthless when it came to threats to his authority.

后来，幕府将军解散了丰臣秀吉家族，向所有人表明，在威胁他的权威时，他是绝对无情的。

In 1598, Toyotomi fell ill and established the Council of Five Elders, who was supposed to rule his regents until his young son Hideyori came of age.

1598年，丰臣秀吉病倒，成立了由五位长老组成的议会，由五位长老统治他的摄政者，直到他年幼的儿子丰臣秀赖成年。

The reason he did this was to ensure a smooth transition of power while he was still alive and avoid the mistakes made by Oda and Toyotomi.

他这样做的原因是为了确保在他还活着的时候权力平稳交接，避免重蹈织田信长和丰臣秀吉的覆辙。

Even though Toyotomi didn't see fit to include him in his little council, Mitsunari was a skilled commander, who was the one to actually lead boots on the ground against Tokugawa.

尽管丰臣秀吉认为石田三成不适合加入他的“五奉行”，但石田三成是一位经验丰富的指挥官，他实际上是带领地面部队对阵德川的部队。

Mitsunari and several other prominent daimyos who were local to Toyotomi were captured and executed days later, as per the remaining elders, two of them surrendered to Tokugawa, following the loss of Sekigahara.

石田三成和其他几位丰臣秀吉部下著名的大名在几天后被抓获，并被处决。剩下的长老中，其中两人在关原失守后向德川投降。

While some clans which Tokugawa considered implacable or wiped out completely, the Toyotomi Clan was allowed to stick around for now, and even believe it to remain at Osaka Castle but with greatly reduced territory.

虽然德川认为一些氏族不会妥协、或是被彻底消灭，但丰臣秀吉家族被允许暂时留在大阪府邸，但是领土却大大缩小。
