Hideyoshi feared the peasants because they represented a potentially destabilizing force in Japanese society. After unifying Japan, he recognized that a discontented peasantry could lead to uprisings or challenges to his authority. To mitigate this threat, he implemented policies to control and pacify the peasant class, including land surveys and restrictions on movement, aiming to secure stability and maintain his power. Ultimately, he understood that the loyalty and satisfaction of the peasants were crucial for the stability of his regime.
