Shimazu Mitsuhisa listened to Tagawa Nanazaemon's words, was stunned, frowned and asked, "Tagawa-kun, you actually sell iron cannons to the Uesugi family?"
”Tagawa Nanazaemon continued to apologize, "Dead Mi Masan, Satsuma Mamoru , this time it is indeed our fault, the Zheng family will give Satsuma Mamoru a certain amount of compensation!"
”Shimazu Mitsuhisa doesn't care about any compensation at all now, he just wants to find out why the Zheng family gave the Uesugi Iron Cannon.Iron cannons are forbidden things, and the Zheng family sold iron cannons to the Uesugi family, and there was no shady deal between the two sides.Besides, hasn't the Zheng family always been good friends with my Shimazu clan?
Shimazu Mitsuhisa suddenly had a feeling of being scummed."
Tagawa-kun, I'll talk about the compensation later!"
Mitsuhisa Shimazu said solemnly: "Aren't we best friends?"
You have to tell me, why did the Zheng family sell iron cannons to the Uesugi family?
”Recently, the Ming Dynasty imposed a "punishment of no tribute" on Japan, which caused turmoil in the hearts of the Japanese.The daimyos, who were already dead, had long accepted the fact that they were under the Tokugawa and exploited by the Tokugawa family.However, after the Tokugawa family became hostile to the Ming Dynasty, many foreign daimyo had some ideas in their hearts, but the Tokugawa family was powerful and they did not dare to show it.Tagawa Nanazaemon was the brother of Zheng Chenggong, the first feudal lord of the Yanping Domain of the Ming Dynasty, and the forces he represented behind him were the Yanping Domain and the Ming Dynasty.Now Tagawa Nanazaemon actually sells iron cannons to the Uesugi clan, which makes Shimazu Mitsuhisa have to think more.A smile appeared on Tagawa Nanazaemon's face, and he straightened up and put on a look of embarrassment, "It's better that this Satsuma Mamoru still doesn't know." ”The more he didn't say anything, the more Shimazu Mitsuhisa wanted to figure out, "Tagawa-kun, is it the Uesugi family that defected to the Ming Dynasty and wants to help the Ming Dynasty attack the Tokugawa family!"
”After the Ming Dynasty severed diplomatic relations with the Tokugawa family, the Tokugawa family has recently become very nervous and strengthened its control over foreign daimyos, and there are rumors in various parts of Japan that the Ming Dynasty may attack Japan.Tagawa Nanazaemon said helplessly: "Okay!
I have a showdown, and Satsuma Mamoru also knows that because the Tokugawa family was unwilling to join the new tributary system and the relationship with the Ming dynasty was broken, the Ming Dynasty hoped to find a new force in Japan to replace the Tokugawa family.Daming is not going to attack the Tokugawa family, but to support the Uesugi family and become the new general!
”Shimazu Mitsuhisa's eyes lit up, and his people let the Tokugawa family catch a show, and the iron cannon and the people were sent to Edo together, which can be described as a combination of stolen goods.Now the Tokugawa family has decided that the Shimazu family bought iron cannons from the Ming Dynasty and colluded with the Ming Dynasty inside and outside to try evil, and Shimazu Mitsuhisa is yellow mud and drops his crotch is not and, it is not clear at all.The Tokugawa family is now sending someone to ask him to go to Edo, and Shimazu Mitsuhisa knows that if he goes, he will not return, and he will become a hostage and captive of the Tokugawa family.Before hearing the news that the Uesugi family bought the Ming Dynasty iron cannon, Shimazu Mitsuhisa was ready to admit that he was unlucky, go to Edo to ask for guilt, and explain well, hoping to keep the Shimazu family's feudal state, but after hearing that the Ming Dynasty supported Uesugi, Shimazu Mitsuhisa changed his mind.If there was only the Shimazu family, then it would be impossible for him to confront the Tokugawa family, and he could only pretend to be his grandson to live, but with Uesugi and Daming, the Shimazu family felt that he could take a gamble."
Why the Uesugi family?"
Shimazu Mitsuhisa suddenly said: "After the death of Uesugi Kenshin, the Uesugi family has been worse year by year, and now the strength is far inferior to my Shimazu family."
Tagawa-kun, we are friends, why don't you choose the Shimazu family?
”After learning that the Ming Dynasty supported the Uesugi family, Shimazu Mitsuhisa felt a sense of imbalance in his heart, the Shimazu family did not get any benefits, but they carried the black pot of arms smuggling, which is unfair.Tagawa Nanazaemon said: "I didn't ask Satsuma Mamoru before, and Satsuma Mamoru was hesitant at that time, so the imperial court turned to support Uesugi. ”At the beginning, Shimazu Mitsuhisa thought that the Ming Dynasty was going to attack Japan, and he naturally hesitated and did not want to help the Ming Dynasty rule Japan, but now that he learned that the Ming Dynasty was going to support the new generals, the situation was naturally different.Shimazu Mitsuhisa regretted for a while, "Does the Shimazu family still have a chance?"
”Tagawa Nanazaemon said: "As long as you are willing to cooperate with Daming, Daming will welcome it, but whether you can be a general or not depends on the Shimazu family itself." ”Mitsuhisa Shimazu nodded and asked, "I understand."
However, the Tokugawa family is strong, I don't know what support Daming can give to the Shimazu family?
”Tagawa Nanazaemon said: "If Satsuma Mamoru is sincere about the fall of the curtain, with our relationship, I will provide the Shimazu family with the weapons needed to defeat the Tokugawa family, and in addition, Uesugi, Date, and Maeda will also send troops to respond and join the army of the downfall." ”Shimazu Mitsuhisa fell into deep thought, if he went to Edo now, he would definitely be placed under house arrest by the Tokugawa side, and if he did not go to Edo, the Tokugawa army would most likely launch an attack on the Satsuma Domain.Seeing Shimazu Mitsuhisa's expression, Tagawa Nanazaemon continued: "In addition, Daming can also support the three thousand elite Japanese soldiers of the Shimazu family!"
”In the early days of Zhao Ming's crisscrossing of the sea, his subordinates recruited a lot of Japanese soldiers and formed a Japanese army.This Japanese soldier participated in the war against the Qing Dynasty many times that year, but after Zhao Ming became the regent of the Ming Dynasty, he did not incorporate the Japanese soldiers into the Ming army, but stayed in the Han State.Shimazu Mitsu heard the words for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!
The Shimazu family joins the army of the Fallen Curtain. ”A few days later, a fleet of ships arrived on the Satsuma Peninsula, and 3,000 Japanese soldiers disembarked from the ship.This Japanese soldier did not wear Ming Dynasty armor, but changed into a modified Japanese armor, and the first general was the samurai Mori Katsukatsu under the command of Mori Nagakatsu, a retainer of the original Toyotomi family.Most of the 3,000 Japanese soldiers were descendants of the Toyotomi samurai who were implicated after the destruction of the Toyotomi family.Because of the loss of their feudal lords, they became ronin, exiled to Nanyang, and became Zhao Ming's subordinates.At this time, 3,000 Japanese soldiers landed on Kyushu Island, and Mori Katsukatsu, Sakamoto Gintoki and others couldn't help but kneel on the beach, pick up the dirt, and take a deep breath.Edo Castle, Honmaru, Castle Tower.The fourth shogun, Tokugawa Ietsuna, listened to the report of the spies, and his face became gloomy.Satsuma Shou Shimazu Mitsuhisa, sure enough, colluded with the Ming Dynasty, not only refused to go to Edo, but also actively prepared for war in Satsuma, blatantly confronting the Tokugawa shogunate.In addition, the Ming Dynasty actually sent 3,000 remnants of Toyotomi to land in Satsuma and form a coalition army.This was already a blatant attempt to make enemies of the Tokugawa family, and if the shogunate could not pacify Satsuma, how would the Tokugawa family rule Japan?
As a country that has just finished fighting the Warring States, the blood of the Tokugawa family is still there, and Japan also has enough elite soldiers, and it is not afraid of the Ming army, Tokugawa Ietsuna has a gloomy face, and said coldly: "The matter has come to this, what else is there to say, let's go to war!"
”The Ming Dynasty deceived people too much, and the Tokugawa family repeatedly said that they were subservient and soft, and they did not want to go to war with the Ming Dynasty on the surface, but the Ming Dynasty still insisted on going its own way and meddling in Japan's internal affairs, and the Tokugawa family could only fight to the death.()
