Tokugawa Tadanagi did not hide it: "As a general, you were captured by the enemy.
What qualifications do you have to be a general?
Of course I should be the one.
If you are afraid that I will become a general, let the Ming army Catch me too?"
Tokugawa Iemitsu replied: "Then what do you think I can do?
I watch you become a general, and then I am treated as rubbish by the Ming army and killed.
I don't want you to be caught too, that is to sit back and watch your own death, you Do you understand?"
Tokugawa Tadaga said: "You have your reasons.
I will definitely report it to my father when I go back."
Tokugawa Iemitsu sneered: "You betrayed Japan, how should I report it to my father?"
Tokugawa Tadaga was hit hard and could not argue, so he had to remain silent.
Tokugawa Iemitsu continued: "If you don't confess me, and I won't confess you, this matter will be over.
From now on, everyone will rely on their own abilities.
If you can become a general one day, it will be your own blessing."
Tokugawa Tadaga nodded: "Well, if I become a general one day, I will spare your life."
Tokugawa Iemitsu sneered.
If Tokugawa Tadanagi really became a general, the first thing he would do would be to kill himself.
Or he could kill himself first before he could become a general.
Ma Shiying asked the two of them to select twenty followers from among the prisoners, and then sent them away respectively.
He has the peace contract signed by them in his hand.
As long as they dare to interfere with it, he can throw it out at any time and hand them over to the abyss.
Yang Guanggao was already on his way to Kirishima at this time.
They took the water route, Zhang Qianfang was responsible for transportation, and Zheng Zhilong was responsible for clearing the way forward.
First, the warships near Kirishima were either sunk or surrendered, and then the Guards landed and began to attack.
After these several battles, the number of Shimazu family members became smaller and smaller.
Under the attack of the Guards, the city was quickly broken.
Shimazu Zhongheng, Shimazu Mitsuhisa and others had no choice but to kneel down and surrender, and were escorted in front of Yang Guanggao by the soldiers.
Yang Guanggao asked people to count the number of Shimazu family members and found that almost all of them were among the surrenderers, so he ordered: "Kill them together to avenge our Ryukyu vassal country."
Shimazu Tadahashi did not expect that the Ming army would directly kill them, and shouted: "Our attack on Ryukyu was approved by the shogunate, and most of Ryukyu's property was taken away by the shogunate."
This sentence saved the lives of the Shimazu family.
Originally, Yang Guanggao thought that in order to stabilize the Satsuma area, he must kill the original daimyo and family elders.
But now Shimazu's shouting made him think that he could use it in the future.
No matter how much he blackmails the shogunate, there is no problem in staying, as long as he is not in Satsuma Domain.
So he asked: "Who led the attack on Ryukyu?
There must be a top tank."
Shimazu Tadahashi hurriedly pointed to Kaguyama Hisaka and Hirata Masumune and said, "They were the two who led the troops to Ryukyu."
Yang Guanggao pointed at the two men and said, "Behead these two men as a sacrifice to the Ryukyu people."
Then he ordered people to take the Shimazu family to Hirado, and take them back to the mainland when they return to the army, leaving a tail for future events in Japan.
After Kirishima fell, the Shimazu family was wiped out, and the entire Satsuma domain was in the hands of the Ming army.
Yang Guanggao sent a letter to Ohsumi, saying that Ohsumi had once assisted Satsuma in fighting against the Heavenly Soldiers, and ordered Ohsumi to cede the territory south of Chuishui to the Ming Dynasty.
Otherwise, if the Heavenly Soldiers arrived, the entire Ohsumi Kingdom would be left alone.
The Osumi Kingdom had been a vassal of the Shimazu family many years ago, so as soon as this letter was sent, the Osumi Ganfu family responded immediately and gave up the territory south of Tarumi.
The Ming Dynasty did not send officials to govern here, so local governance could only use Japanese to govern Japanese.
This was the most interesting thing for Chinese civil servants to use barbarians to control barbarians, and Ma Shiying enthusiastically began to implement this feat.
He himself replaced the original daimyo, and the samurai class below remained, but he divided the samurai into ranks.

The original Satsuma Domain and the Ohsumi Domain south of Tarumizu are now collectively called Kagoshima Prefecture.
This is only a temporary name, and the official name will have to wait for the emperor to give it a new name.
Ma Shiying distributed the entire Kagoshima to twenty great samurai, and then asked them to recruit some junior samurai, basically maintaining the original rule of the vassal state.
After the Guards completed the occupation, they informed the surrounding vassal states that Kagoshima was the territory of the Ming Dynasty and was sacred and inviolable.
But anyone who crosses the boundary will be punished immediately.
With the Satsuma clan in front, at least in the short term, no one will dare to take a step beyond the realm of possibility.
The Guards Staff and the Second Division returned to Juehua Island, leaving only the Independent Brigade and Yan Siqi's troops in Japan.
Hirado and Iki Island were originally occupied by Yan Siqi, and now only Tsushima Island and Ezo Island remain.
Zhang Qianfang brought the lucky ship to Tsushima Island.
The pirates on the island decided to surrender after seeing the lucky ship.
This is a very wise decision, and Zhang Qianfang also welcomes this decision, because the navy just needs to increase its manpower.
If it can be done without killing people, it is better not to kill people.
After the pirates were collected, Zhang Qianfang ordered them to continue to stay on Tsushima Island, reclaim wasteland, fish, and left them three months of rations.
He clearly told them that no one except the Ming army was allowed to go to the island.
As long as the ships along the way are not owned by the Ming Dynasty, you can rob them.
Of course, the only ones that can be grabbed are North Korean ships, and other ships will not pass here.
The weather is already very cold, and it is impossible to immigrate from the mainland at this time, so immigration will not start until the spring of next year.
Ezo Island will have to wait until the weather gets warmer next year before going to declare its sovereignty.
It seems that this year it will have to stay at home and wait for the winter.
Before the New Year, the emperor's imperial edict arrived, naming the occupied Japanese territory as the new state capital, and appointing Ma Shiying as the prefect.
In addition to the Satsuma Domain and the southern part of the Ohsumi Domain, the jurisdiction also included Hirado, Iki, Tsushima, and other islands.
There was no occupied Ezo Island, and the original Jeju was also placed under the jurisdiction of the new state capital.
This is the first overseas government that does not belong to any Chief Secretary, but is directly managed by the imperial court.
In other words, Ma Shiying is actually equivalent to the governor of a province, which makes many people envious, and also makes more people understand that the current emperor values people who do practical things, and it is no longer popular to just find faults in the court.
Before the Chinese New Year, cabinet member Han Xu finally resigned.
To say that he is not very old, at least much younger than Fang Congzhe and Ye Xianggao.
But it is obvious that the emperor does not like him, does not trust him, and avoids him no matter what.
Both himself and the ministers in the court see it and understand in their hearts.
If he doesn't resign, I'm afraid everyone will despise him.
After Zhu Youxiao received his resignation, he pretended not to agree.
Han Xu came forward again and again, so Zhu Youxiao had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
He was granted the title of Prince Shaobao, and the royal guards sent him home
