Chapter 205 207. [The Era of Great Voyage] Mori Kogoro's tongue-in-cheek battle with the shogunate officials
『【((
The great iron ships carried weapons of unimaginable horror.There is no way to defend against it, not even to give an early warning.It fell from the sky with a sharp howling sound, and when it landed, it was a huge flame, and the explosion sounded earth-shattering.

Tokugawa Iemitsu still remembers the tragedy after the Ohiroma explosion.

It was too tragic, a huge pit in place.The once elegant and beautiful garden, only a huge black pit remains.Remnants of limbs and broken arms are all over the place.Desperately, people scrambled through the ruins, trying to find survivors.Their efforts are futile and pointless.

Tokugawa Iemitsu was soberly aware that he had no choice but to surrender.The big iron ship is moored in Edo Bay, a short distance from his residence.If you don't sign this treaty of humiliating power and humiliating the country, the shogunate will perish immediately.

Seeing the written statement in front of him, Tokugawa Iemitsu clenched his fists and tried hard not to vomit.He thought of his grandfather, the old man who loved him very much, and also the famous battlefield general who established the shogunate.Grandpa often told him some personal experiences, and kept telling him that the Tokugawa family could win the world in the end because of the word "nin".

Patience, when the strength is not as good as the opponent, you must be submissive.Stick to the bottom line and fight for the right to live.

That's it, the Tokugawa family survived one after another famous Warring States generals.Oda Nobunaga, Takeda Shingen, Toyotomi Hideyoshi...

Now, Tokugawa Iemitsu is convinced that another time for patience has come.

That night, the candlelight in Tokugawa Iemitsu's room never went out.

As the sky grew brighter, he put away the petition in front of him and planned to go to meet with the important ministers and explain his thoughts to them.The other party's asking price was very harsh, but at least it left some face for the Tokugawa shogunate.The right to issue a red seal is given to the other party in the name of "downward gift", which establishes the superiority and inferiority of superiors and inferiors, and effectively restrains the other party from pushing too far in the name of righteousness.Next, you just need to negotiate to get some benefits, such as asking the other party to pay tribute every year, and you can probably receive a considerable amount of money——

While he was thinking, he shook the bell that called for people to signal the servants to come in.

Footsteps sounded in the corridor, but they were hurried and murderous.Tokugawa Ieko felt something was wrong when he heard it.He has been on the battlefield anyway, and knows what killing is all about.The moment he grabbed the waist knife, the paper door was kicked down, and several strong warriors broke in.Look closely at their faces, all of them are unfamiliar.

"Bold! Impolite!" He drew his sword and stood up.

A woman's voice said: "This guy is Iamiko's shadow warrior, a fake general! The real Iamuni has been killed, kill him!"

Hearing this voice, Tokugawa Iemitsu was shocked. "Mother!"

Standing behind those warriors was actually his biological mother, the governor of Chongyuan Academy.

The Tokugawa family's lightsaber skills are not bad, but under the extreme shock, he even forgot to resist.At least three long knives were thrust into his chest.He looked down for a moment, then looked up again, mournfully at the old woman standing behind the warriors.

"Mother……?"

These were the last words of Iemitsu, the third shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate.

Tokugawa Tadanagi, the second son of Sogenin's governor and Iemitsu's brother, ascended the throne in Edo Castle that day and became the fourth shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate.Unlike Tokugawa Iemitsu, who had a miserable appearance and was often hunched over, the new general had a dignified appearance, a strong physique, and looked heroic.

The first thing the fourth-generation general did after assuming the throne was to convene important ministers to discuss.

There is only one issue: How to deal with the black ships anchored in Edo Bay?
An important minister said: "Since Li Huamei rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, she defeated the Laidao navy in two battles and captured thousands of ships. She also seized the foundation of the Laidao family in the East China Sea, and all merchant ships going to the Ming Dynasty to trade with Korea were given to her. Pay the money. On the East China Sea, it is now the time when she is powerful. Although our army is elite, the armored ships are not fast, have more than enough defense, and not enough offense. In my humble opinion, it is better to agree to her. As long as we pay tribute every year. If the island is doubled, I will give her the power to issue red seals."

Tokugawa Tadaga was silent.

The important minister added: "The general has just ascended the throne, and the hearts of the people are still undecided, so it is not suitable for a war. Now that we have signed the treaty, slowly consolidating the hearts of the people is the most important thing."

Suddenly, a man stood up with a long laugh, waving a goose-feather fan in his hand, his spirit fluttering, his appearance imposing, and he said with a smile: "You are all afraid of the black ships of the Ming people, but I am not. From my point of view, the Ming ships are nothing. Strange. When Zheng He sailed to the West a hundred years ago, the treasure ships were only this big. The Ming people just copied the blueprints from a hundred years ago."

Everyone saw that it was Tokugawa Tadaga's trusted retainer Mori Kogoro.

The rise of this person is also a miracle.It is said that he was born in a pariah, his father died at the age of seven, and his mother remarried at the age of eight. He worked as a novice monk, sold needles, and did everything. At the age of 17, he became a domestic servant carrying straw sandals for Tokugawa Tadaga.Because he had nothing to do, he stuffed the straw sandals in his arms to keep warm, and was appreciated by his loyal boss. He found him a samurai daughter as his wife, and gradually promoted him to become a confidant.At first there was no surname, only Kogoro.After becoming a samurai, he suddenly boasted that his ancestors were blood relatives to the Mori family of the Western Kingdom, so he changed his surname to Mori.

Tokugawa Tadacho became a general, and this man soared into the sky like a rocket and became an important minister of the shogunate.It is said that the young governor of Chongyuan Academy also appreciated him very much.There are also rumors that it was he who urged the small governor of Sogenin-in Temple to launch a coup d'état, abolishing Tokugawa Ieyasu's grandson, and let Kunichiyo (Tokugawa Tadacho), who was raised by her, take the throne.

In any case, this man is extremely eloquent and has almost become a definite comment in Edo City.

Today Mori Kogoro is indeed sharp-tongued.When he came up, he said, "It's about the national plan and the safety of the country. Can you give us some useful opinions? Isn't it a bad idea to exaggerate the enemy and scare yourself like I did just now?"

The important ministers were very unhappy and were thinking of how to refute.

Suddenly a person asked back: "Now that the black ships of the Ming Dynasty are attacking, the ships are strong and the cannons are powerful. A single cannon has eroded dozens of miles, and blew up Sakai's private residence. From your point of view, how should we deal with the enemy?"

Mori Kogoro disdained: "It's absolutely fake. In this day and age, how could it be possible to make a cannon that was rotten for dozens of miles? I heard that Mr. Sakai didn't strictly control the samurai in his family. Last month, he caught a horse thief Yes, I'm afraid that a lot of gunpowder was stolen. Seeing that there was no way to settle the account, just as the black ship was attacking, I took the opportunity to light the gunpowder depot and make a dead man."

"..."

In the first round of the debate, Mori Kogoro won.

Another important minister asked, "What kind of person do you think Li Huamei is?"

Mouri Kogoro replied: "He is just a pirate who was expelled from the Ming Dynasty, so why ask?"

The important minister shook his head and said: "Your Excellency is wrong. I heard that Li Huamei recruited a rogue in Hangzhou, who was very strategic and courageous. At that time, there was a mutiny in Shandong, and the Li family's supporter Xu Ge was interrogated and imprisoned. The news spread to Hangzhou, The prefect Han Mo was jealous that the Li family was rich, so he secretly summoned the sea pirates and wanted to auction off the Li family's nautical charts, houses, ships, etc. This fatal situation was turned over by the rogue. He killed the prefect, robbed Hangzhou, and set sail to sea. I heard that Later, it was he who contributed the long-lost secret recipe of 'Greek Fire' to the defeat of Laidao, which can be regarded as the first credit. With this person here, our army will definitely have no chance of winning. If we fight forcefully, wouldn't we just attack the stone with an egg?
