Hideyoshi's Korean Campaign
In 1592 Hideyoshi ordered his troops to go to the war in Korea. He gave Mōri Terumoto a letter and wrote there that he was worried because his friend Hizen-no-kami was old. During April and December 1592 Narinaga once again served as a messenger between Toyotomi Hideyoshi and the Mōri. Finally in 1594 Hayashi Hizen-no-kami came back from Hideyoshi's Korean Invasion and quit all his jobs. He asked Mori Terumoto if he could retire and built a castle Aka-jō (赤城跡). He was 78 years old (a late age) when he retired. The reason he worked so long could be because his son, Hayashi Shima-no-kami Motoyoshi received from Mori Terumoto 2,290 koku of land. This was twice as much as what the Hayashi family had received in Hagi-han. This area was known as Morimitsu. Hayashi Gonuemon the great-grandson of Hayashi Narinaga.
