Domineering Daming

"That's right." The Patriarch of the Beitian Clan said with a serious expression, "Songping Palace has outstanding abilities. If he comes to Dounan City, we will fully obey his orders!"

The Tamura family said: "When will the Date Hall and the Songping Hall arrive?"

Date Masamune looked at the performance of a group of people with cold eyes.He is the lord of the Mutsu clan. What is the purpose of this group of people who miss the Tokugawa family's retainers so much?

Date Masamune has put down the Mutsu clan's opposition forces in recent years, but just as there are always people in Japan who are dissatisfied with the Tokugawa family, there have always been people who have plotted against the Date family.

Masamune Date did not lose his composure, and said: "It has arrived, we are now obeying the command of Songpingdian, if anyone neglects his duty and flirts with Ming people, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Hay!"

A group of people bowed in unison, their voices crisp and crisp.

Date Masamune's eyes were cold, he turned around and walked towards the backyard.

In the backyard, a woman is already making tea, filled with immortality.She is making tea with bare hands, wearing a thin veil, with coquettish eyebrows and eyes, every move, her white skin is faintly visible, and she is extremely attractive.

Date Masamune turned a blind eye, walked in, and sat down slowly.

The woman said, "Ichiro is staring at the strait and hasn't come back yet."

Tanaka Ichiro is Date Masamune's adopted son and has always been entrusted with important tasks.

Date Masamune picked up a cup of tea indifferently, took a sip, and said, "Nobuzuna Matsudaira is already in Shichinohe. It seems that he wants to use us as cannon fodder."

"Isn't this normal?" The flirtatious woman's voice was as seductive as it was seductive, she took a sip of tea and said, "The foreign daimyo has always been the target of the Tokugawa Palace's elimination, and now that the Shimadzu family is destroyed, Maeda Toshi's attitude is ambiguous, There is also the fact that our Yida family did not fully obey, if we don’t use me as the leader, who should we use?”

The Tokugawa shogunate divided the forces of the Wa Kingdom into three types. One was the daimyo who were subdued by the Tokugawa family. These people were powerful and not fully controlled. They had been closely monitored and were called foreign daimyos.

The second type is the genealogy daimyo, who is a die-hard supporter of the Tokugawa family, who is like a confidant or a retainer, and naturally treats them differently.

The last one is directly under the control of the Tokugawa family, which is called the pro-vassal, which is the pro-soldier, so it is naturally different.

This division of power based on closeness and closeness is the most important feature of the Japanese political system.

Date Masamune looked silent. This old man came from the time of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. He has experienced too much. Seeing the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty approaching, and the Japanese kingdom using him as cannon fodder, his expression did not move at all, and he drank tea slowly. No one knew what was going on in his heart. What are you thinking.

The flirtatious woman came over, pressed his shoulder, and said, "Father, Ichiro said, we need to find a way to deal with it."

This woman, called Chiyo, was originally also Date Masamune's adopted daughter, and was supposed to be betrothed to Ichiro Tanaka, but for no reason, Date Masamune continued her marriage!

Date Masamune put down his teacup, looked out the window, and said, "It's still too early, is the boat ready?"

Qiandai's tender body pressed tightly against his ear, and whispered, "In the name of Xiyi Trading Company, I ordered two [-]-foot-long ships from Daming Shipyard, and they are hiding in the North Lake."

Date Masamune was indifferent to Chiyo's teasing, and said: "Tell Ichiro, let our people get ready, find a time, and return to Hirosaki Castle first."

There are four counties in the Mutsu Domain, and Hirosaki Castle is located in Tsukai County, where the Mutsu Domain is located.

Chiyo took off his coat, revealing his white collarbone, and said softly, "Yes."

Date Masamune's eyelids twitched slightly, and he pulled Chiyo fiercely, and pressed him hard on the ground.

North County, Qihu City.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna was in the battle room, reading a book quietly.

The so-called array houses are some wooden houses that can only be built reluctantly because they have no strength and cannot build a city.

Opposite Nobutsuna Matsudaira, Shigetoshi Miyake was kneeling quietly, without making a sound.

I don't know how long it took before Matsudaira Nobuzuna said flatly, "You have been in charge of Mingren's intelligence, so tell me."

Shigetoshi Miyake lowered his head and said: "Yes. In the Ming Dynasty, there were many natural disasters and cholera, and their court was also in chaos. They were carrying out the so-called 'Kingzheng New Deal', but it has been ten years and it has become more and more chaotic. The villain believes that the Ming Dynasty has lasted for more than 200 years, and its collapse is not far away."

Matsudaira Nobutsuna casually flipped through the book and said, "Tell me that I'm interested."

Shigetoshi Miyake bowed his head and said: "In Ezo, their army is Mongols, there are 5 cavalry, and their combat power will be halved here. On Tsushima Island, they are also cavalry, which were originally destroyed by the Ming Dynasty. There are [-] people in Jin Kingdom, they are elite, and the target should be Jiuguo Island."

Matsudaira Nobutsuna was silent for a while, and said, "Where's their firearms, the navy?"

Shigetoshi Miyake said: "There are a hundred battleships, but the biggest one didn't come. It was the commander of Cao Bianjiao last time. The villain is very worried. They are going to rush directly to Edo. I don't know if we can deal with it."

Edo, in the Musashi Domain, is near the lake, the lake is connected to the sea, and there is a navy. It is completely possible to drive straight in and land directly in Edo!

Matsudaira Nobutsuna didn't seem to hear it, and asked, "Is there any information from the Ming Dynasty?"

Shigetoshi Miyake frowned, and said: "I don't know why, since the first half of the year, the news from the other side has gradually decreased. This month, there has been no news at all. Did the Ming Dynasty discover them?"

For the first time, Matsudaira Nobutsuna showed an expression. He put down the book, looked thoughtful, and said for a moment: "Continue to contact, we must contact them. They have too much information, which is very important to us."

"Yes." Shigetoshi Miyake said.

Nobuzuna Matsudaira sat upright and said, "I'm not worried about the presence of Lord Qingshan on the side of Jiuguo Island. What's the situation over there at the Date Palace?"

Shigetoshi Miyake frowned, and said: "That old fox of Date Masamune is like a deep pool of water, and he can't test anything. The last time the Shaodian went to the Ming Dynasty, he found that Date Masamune had also sent someone there. The villain suspects that they and the Ming Dynasty There is collusion!"

Matsudaira Nobuzuna looked up at him, shook his head and said: "This old man is best at judging the situation. Now that we and the Ming Dynasty have not yet seen the outcome, he won't make a bet so early. Keep an eye on him and find out that he has this plan. I will be the first to destroy him!"

Tokugawa Iemitsu's game is very old-fashioned, and he pretends to destroy the country.In the process of fighting against the Ming Dynasty, the disobedient people were easily eliminated.

On the other side, Kanmon Strait.

Tadatoshi Aoyama, who is nearly seventy years old, is looking at the two sides of the strait and the sea from a distance.

Itakura Shigemasa beside him accompanied Xiaoxin, and said: "Izumoru, I have built fortresses everywhere, reinforced iron cannons, and have more than 300 civilian ships. Even if the waterways are blocked, the Ming Dynasty's navy can be blocked out!"

Qingshan Zhongjun inspected the circle, his cold and old face showed no expression, and said: "How many troops have assembled now?"

Itakura Shigesho suffered a terrible defeat in Shimabara a few years ago. If it weren't for Matsudaira Nobuzuna and Aoyama Tadatoshi Riho, they would have been executed by Tokugawa Iemitsu long ago.

He is cautious and cautious now, listening to Aoyama Tadatoshi, immediately said: "12, half of them are already near Shimabara, and some are on the way. Within a month, there will be another 20, a total of [-] troops!"

Qingshan Zhongjun frowned and did not speak.

Now that it is the summer harvest, so many troops are recruited, and the consequences may be very troublesome.

"Shimabara, what's the situation in Kagoshima?" Aoyama Tadatoshi said calmly.

Itakura Shigemasa said: "According to the villain's investigation, there are 1 people in Kagoshima and Satsuma, plus 1 in North Korea and Ryukyu. There are a total of 3 people. On Shimabara, there are all Christians. Now there are probably tens of thousands of people. They gathered in Shimabara Castle. It is a big city built with the help of Ming people. They are equipped with Ming people’s firearms. There are also Ming people mixed in... I'm afraid, it will be easier to defend and harder to attack than a few years ago."

A few years ago, Itakura Shigesho was defeated here, losing 8 or [-] people, which can be described as a disastrous defeat.Now that Amakusa Shiro has been reborn with the help of Akito, and his strength has greatly increased, so how much will they have to pay?

Qingshan Zhongjun glanced at him and said, "What do you think we should do?"

The form of the Waguo Ming Dynasty is the multi-faceted infiltration of the Ming Dynasty. If you want to solve it, if you can't go to war in an all-round way, you must have an order.

Itakura Shigemasa looked dignified, without the humility and flattery he had before, and said: "Izumori, I think we should solve Shimabara first. If we don't solve it here, we won't be able to solve Kagoshima with all our strength, and worry about the back at any time."
