I've been thinking of possible PODs for the Toyotomi clan to survive through the Edo period.

One idea I thought of is, what if there is no more summer campaign against Osaka Castle? Let's say Hideyori realized that he had no chance of winning against the Tokugawa and decided to just do everything to save the clan. Maybe he can appease Ieyasu by surrendering the castle itself (it's also possible for Ieyasu himself to compel Hideyori to leave the castle as an insurance) and move to some other province (Mino is a possibility, if Ieyasu wanted to keep an eye on the Toyotomi).

Hope I can make a TL out of this.
