On the evening of the second day, in the room of the Military Intelligence Department in the backyard of the government office, under the dim oil lamp, Yamauchi Nobu was being brought in.

As soon as he entered the room, Yamauchi Nobumasa immediately knelt on the ground, "My lord, Mingguo, I have something important to report.
I hope you can save my Maori clan."
He knew that this trip was important and that without the help of Lord Ming, the Maori family would suffer heavy losses, so he kept his attitude very low and asked for help as soon as he entered.
"Oh," Zhao Lie calmly looked at the back of Yamauchi's head, who was kneeling on the ground, and said with a smile, "Mr.
Yamauchi is exaggerating.
At this moment, the shogunate is about to conquer Jeju.
How can you sacrifice your own arms to eradicate the Maori tribe?"
"My lord, I don't know.
The shogunate ordered the Choshu clan and other foreign lords to be the main force in the expedition.
The shogunate only dispatched a small number of soldiers and horses.
But I know the power of your fleet.
If the Choshu clan and other soldiers set out on the ship, The sea, I am afraid that I will sink into the sea before I can see the coast of Jeju.
Ah, my lord, only your lord can save our Choshu Domain now.
The head of the family, Mourixiu, bows to you and hopes that your lord will give me a helping hand."
Yamauchi Nobuzaki kowtowed as if he was pounding garlic.
"This general is not an immortal, so how can he influence the shogunate?
How he goes out into battle is a matter for this great leader," Zhao Lie said unhurriedly.
Zhao Lie was relieved.
Just this piece of news meant that the return of Shannai to the Choshu Domain was in vain, not to mention that the Choshu Domain would be of great use in the future.
As expected, the fortresses were all breached from within.
Yamauchi Nobu was extremely anxious down there and did not dare to get up.
"However," Zhao Lie paused with a smile, and Yamauchi paused.
There is a way.
"You can contact Zongheng later.
A lot of foreign dignitaries are making a fuss, hehe.
The shogunate also has to think about it."
Yamauchi Nobumasa was startled and thought deeply.
It's doable.
But the risk is also high, and I'm afraid the shogunate is also watching to see if the daimyo is connected.
"I can only say that as long as the Japanese navy goes to sea, our navy will let it return with a huge defeat and lose most of its ships."
Zhao Lie waved his hand, and the guards came in and took Yamauchi Nobumasa out.
Yamauchi Nobumasa was so depressed Qu, every time you say it in a hurry.
That's it, I still can't figure it out.
On the way back to the ship, Yamauchi had only one thought, no matter what, he would not allow the infantry and cavalry troops to board the ship.
This wise general had made it very clear that he would be merciless at sea.
Yamauchi has been walking on the sea for a long time, and he is well aware of the power of the Nanman giant ships.
Even though the shogunate navy has many ships, he may not be able to escape easily.
The bay of Shimonoseki is crowded with Japanese-style warships with their respective family crests flying, including Anzaku ships.
Regarding boats, the most popular ones are small morning boats.
Among them, the small morning boats are the most numerous.
They are densely packed all over the bay and even to the outer sea.
Looking around, there is a sea of sails.
The camp on the shore expanded from the port to the surrounding plains.

It was extremely busy inside.
New troops were constantly landing on the shore to join the pace of building the camp on the shore.
The retainers of the Choshu Domain were busy in the dark.
It's really hard to do this job, and the elderly Fukuhara Aritoshi of the Choshu clan is even more dizzy with work.
He hasn't been so tired in many years.
In the military camp on the port shore, nearly a hundred military generals gathered together.
Outside the camp, dozens of family crest flags of various daimyo were erected.
The colors were mixed and chaotic, showing that all the daimyo military forces in Japan were gathered here.
The chief generals of the Tokugawa shogunate, Doi Toshikatsu, and the ship chief general Mukai Tadakatsu are at the top, and the chief generals of other families are at the bottom.
Of course, the three royal families are the Kii Tokugawa family, the Mito Tokugawa family, and the Owari Tokugawa family.
And the general of the quasi-first Maeda clan is at the front, which is a manifestation of their status.
The chief general of the Daimyo family is in the middle, and the chief general of the gaibei daimyo is at the end.
Although the Mori family is a gaibei daimyo, because they are the host, the chief general Shimizu Keiji is in the middle seat.
It seems that the generals in the front row and in the middle are majestic and imposing, but in fact they are just soy sauce.
The navy that went out this time was mainly composed of the Shogunate navy, the Satsuma navy, the Date family navy, the Choshu domain navy, the Tosa domain navy and other foreign daimyo navy, and even the Tsushima and Matsumae domain navy.
The army also came to join the battle.
The reason is very simple.
Most of the foreign daimyo live in barren areas near the sea and have more or less naval forces.
As for the infantry and cavalry, due to the fact that the infantry and cavalry of the Jeju Ming Army only numbered in the thousands, and the transportation capabilities of sea ships, they were mainly dominated by the Choshu Domain, Satsuma Domain, Date Family, Hosokawa Family and other feudal clans.
Contributing two to three thousand troops, the other daimyo at least sent dozens of people just to watch the excitement.
Tokugawa Hatamoto only dispatched more than a thousand troops and one cavalry, with a total of 35,000 troops.
The purpose of this expedition was to consume more than 300,000 foreign daimyo's strength.
The other foreign daimyo were just incidental consumption.
The rest of the three imperial families and the subordinates of the Dai Dai Ming were naturally gloating over the misfortune, and the Dai Ming looked like a rabbit dead and a fox sad.
As soon as the evaluation meeting began, Doi Toshikatsu set the tone, using fifty Anzha ships, a hundred Kanshu ships, and two hundred Kozai ships to attack the Ming army warships, and the remaining more than a hundred Anzha ships. , 300 customs ships and more than 400 small boats transported 15,000 infantry troops, and 3,000 cavalry troops landed later.
The rest of the troops were waiting for the fleet to return to Xiaguan.
However, the 15,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry who first boarded the ship here included the 2,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry of the Choshu Domain, the 2,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry of the Satsuma Domain and a group of foreigners.
There were no infantry and cavalry of the daimyo, none of the infantry and cavalry of the Tokugawa shogunate and the Gosan family, and even the military strength of the daimyo was not included.
As soon as Doi Toshiki finished speaking, there was a lot of noise in the back row.
The implication of using the Daimyo Daimyo as cannon fodder was too obvious.
The general of the Daimyo Daimyo who came here this time was either a disciple of the Daimyo, or he was a disciple of the Daimyo.
The Daimyo's writing family elders and their net worth are all tied to the Daimyo.
This arrangement caused the generals to express their dissatisfaction and the venue became a mess.
Doi Toshikatsu looked around the venue with an angry look.
When the retainers in the back row saw Doi's ferocious face, they remembered that Doi Toshiki had also participated in the Battle of Osaka, beheading nearly a hundred fierce generals, and his voice immediately disappeared.
Doi Toshikatsu was also surprised.
As a foreign daimyo, he had the consciousness to become cannon fodder.
The fringe forces of the lord's family were driven to consume the opponent's strength.
The lord's military force advanced from behind to defeat the opponent.
This was a common practice since the Warring States Period. , no exception, why dare to object like this this time.
There is a misunderstanding here.
Doi Toshikatsu had never experienced a naval battle.
Not much is known about the Nanman warships.
However, the retainers of the foreign daimyo who have been in the coastal area all year round are well aware of the power of the Nanman warships.
If the land attack fails, the worst case scenario is that we can still retreat.

At least we cannot be annihilated.
As long as we try our best, the shogunate cannot be too overwhelming.
However, if we cannot defeat the Nanman warships in a naval battle, and let the enemy ships enter the transport fleet, it is indeed possible for the entire army to be annihilated. , and was buried in the sea because he was so aggrieved and unable to resist.
The two are completely different.
Mukai Tadakatsu was the descendant of his father Mukai Masatsuna, who had experienced large and small naval battles and even fought fierce battles with the navy of the Mori family and the Satsuma family.
I also know a bit about Nanman warships.
I have even seen the Datemura, Japan's first self-built Galenic ship, and also boarded a Western ship.
It can be said that I have rich experience, and I have concerns about retainers of foreign daimyo.
I also have experience.
Mukai Tadakatsu explained in a low voice to Doi Toshikatsu next to him.
At this moment, the general of the Satsuma Domain, Hisanobu Shimazu, came forward to pay homage.
After the ceremony, he said, "General Doi, our Shimazu family was ordered to go on an expedition with more than a hundred warships.
The number of troops was thousands, which fully demonstrated the strength of the Shimazu family.
Your Majesty the Emperor, Your Majesty the General is determined to fight hard.
However, the Nanman warships are strong and powerful, and the navy cannot defeat the enemy fleet.
The warships in the rear are in a dangerous situation, and our infantry and cavalry cannot be easily destroyed in the sea. " "The Shimadzu family will calm down for a moment.
This matter is under discussion."
Doi Toshikatsu looked at Shimazu Hisanobu dissatisfied.
The Shimadzu family was a thorn in the side.
If it were in Honshu, the Tokugawa family would have reduced it without hesitation.
Seal to seal.
The general of Choshu Domain, Shimizu Keiji, was so happy that he came to sleep as soon as he fell asleep.
The master of the family had told him not to bring the infantry and cavalry on board the ship.
He was thinking hard about how to fulfill the master's entrustment of the Shimazu clan.
Jin Jiuxin cooperated seriously.
Qingshui Keiji dressed up and stepped forward to salute, "General, our Maori family is also fighting with all our strength.
However, the enemy fleet is fierce, and it is really worrying for our army to swim hastily."
After Doi Toshiki dealt with the retainers of the Satsuma Domain, he knew that the Choshu Domain would not be honest.
Sure enough, the Choshu Domain came forward immediately.
As expected, they were the main force of the Western Army back then.
They were always inseparable, watching and helping each other.
Doi Toshikatsu smiled and said, "Why, the Maori family is planning to go their own way."
This sentence is very heart-wrenching, but Doi Toshikatsu believed that he knew the thoughts of the Tokugawa family, and he was worried that he had no good excuse to get angry and continue to reduce the title of Choshu Domain.
Now those words are irritating you, you bite me, If a conflict breaks out, the Tokugawa family will only be extremely happy.
Baga, old bastard, Shimizu Keiji cursed in his heart, with a righteous look on his face, "My Maori family has always been loyal ministers to His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the Shogun.
This time my family is mainly worried about the safety of the military and maritime affairs of the great lords.
If The navy can take the lead in defeating the Ming Dynasty fleet, and we, the Maori family, are willing to be the vanguard of the army and attack Jeju, and we will not fight back until we win."
These words were very tactful.
I called on all the foreign lords and saw that our Maori family was interceding for everyone.
These words were also very serious.
As long as the enemy fleet was defeated, the Maori family was willing to be the vanguard.
Everyone here understands that if the Maori family is the vanguard, then the Maori family's military force can only win but not be defeated.
As long as the shogunate is defeated, they will find things such as arrogance and rudeness, disobedience to command, underestimating the enemy's advance, etc., and the shogunate can use this to make further progress.
The title of Choshu Domain was reduced.
When the general of the Mori family said this, he was extremely sincere.

As the saying goes, killing can only be done with a nod of the head.
Of course, the Tokugawa family can't press forward step by step.
There are many famous people around to watch.
At this time, there were noises coming from some of the surrounding retainers.
Doi Toshikatsu glared at Shimizu Keiji bitterly, "The Maori family will step back for now and let us discuss."
Doi Toshikatsu, Mukai Tadakatsu, and the generals of the Gosan family and the Maeda family discussed it and felt that certain actions should not be too obvious.
After all, it was a cross-sea battle.
It was finally decided that one hundred and fifty Anzhai would be dispatched in three days.
Ships, 300 closed ships, and 500 small morning ships looked for opportunities to annihilate the main force of the Jeju Ming Army's navy.
After the military order was issued, all the daimyo retainers finally calmed down.
Shimazu Hisanobu and Shimizu Keiji even smiled.
Doi Toshiki hated everything in his heart.
However, he, who is sophisticated in the world, looked as usual, secretly thinking about the war.
In the long run, I will repay you later.
In the next two days, all naval forces in Xiaguan were renovating and preparing for war, preparing cannons, gunpowder, iron cannons, rockets, kerosene, and fireships.
