Zong Yicheng, the three family elders, as well as the big and small officials of the Tsushima Domain, well-known samurai, merchants and others, looked at Liu Jingming sitting on the main seat, his face was unpredictable, restrained, apprehensive, and fearful.
Not long after, Chen Zhiyang came back, covered in blood, and with a strong murderous aura, he raised his hand to Liu Jingming and said, "My lord, all the people on the list have been killed, and a few have run to the mountains, and they will definitely be found out within three days!"
” Liu Jingming waved his hand indifferently, looked at Zong Yicheng, and said, "Sect Master, Tsushima Fan went to the country and joined my Ming Dynasty's documents, can it be written?"
” Zong Yicheng hurriedly raised the document above his head and said, "It's written, the villain listens to the angel's instructions." ” Liu Jingming took it, looked at it, and said, "Okay, there will be an edict from the imperial court soon, and you will be the first prefect." ” "Yes."
Zong Yicheng said hurriedly.
At this time, everything is out of his hands.
Liu Jingming looked at Zong Yicheng and the others, and glanced at those people who belonged to the Military Intelligence Department with excitement on their faces, and was slightly sure in his heart, the Tsushima Domain was an island that did not rely on each other, and the population was sparse.
Chen Zhiyang had another idea, almost all of them met resistance in this killing, and none of the people on the list surrendered.
He felt that these Japanese warriors were so paranoid that they didn't want their lives, and they had to be strictly controlled by the Ma Domain, and they couldn't be careless.
After waiting for a while, a soldier came in and reported, "My lord, Lord Cao has received a letter from his side, and he has left an hour ago, and he will be there soon."
The adults demanded that 1,000 men be left to guard Fuchu Castle, and the fleet was driven overnight to the Shimabara Peninsula to shell Matsudaira Nobutsuna and support Amakusa Shiro!
” Liu Jingming stood up violently, gave a military salute, and said, "Reply to the envoy, the last general will receive the order!"
” "Yes!"
The soldier received the order and left in a hurry.
Liu Jingming stood at the front, condescendingly overlooking this group of people, and said: "I, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, are close to the ministers, and the general army of Cao Bianjiao is about to arrive, and I would like to see your sincerity."
My Ming Dynasty is the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, the center of heaven and earth, the treasure of the heavens, the outstanding people, you can become the corner of my Ming, you should be glorious......"
In the past, they did envy the culture of the Ming Dynasty, and most of Japan's culture was also inherited from the Central Plains, but when an invader said this, no matter how natural it was, it seemed extremely awkward.
Zong Yicheng and the others didn't dare to raise their heads, so they had to respond sullenly, churning in their hearts, not knowing if this envoy was easy to speak.
They were at a loss, fearing that there would be a second list, and that they would be included, and that they would have no choice but to be killed.
Liu Jingming and Chen Zhiyang looked at this group of people, nodded secretly, they were quite cooperative, they were able to take down the horse domain so quickly, there was not much resistance, these people all contributed.
Liu Jingming held a banquet in the evening, had a long talk with these people, and then had a secret conversation with Zong Yicheng, promising many things, which made him feel a little relieved, and his face was not so stiff and ugly.
Then Liu Jingming summoned the merchants who had developed from the Military Intelligence Department and told them that the imperial court would soon send people, and some of them would be the first president of the Tsushima Chamber of Commerce, in charge of all trade in Tsushima, and some would enter the government to do things, involving all aspects of Tsushima, and there were not so many rules on land.
These people were overjoyed, and it was not in vain that they gambled their lives with their lives this time, and everyone held wine glasses and desperately wanted to toast Liu Jingming.
But Liu Jingming pushed it, he was going to go to sea overnight tonight, and asked these people to watch Tsushima Mansion, don't go on any more errands, and at the latest tomorrow morning, Cao Bianjiao's army will arrive.
These people were naturally extremely excited, and when they came out of the feudal hall, they shuttled everywhere like a net, reporting all the disasters to the Ming army and the warriors of the Tsushima domain who surrendered, and one by one the hidden dangers were quickly pulled out, and the control of the Ming army continued to penetrate and strengthen.
That night, leaving behind a thousand people, Liu Jingming led ten medium ships and fifteen small ships, left the port and turned to the country of Hizen.
The Tsushima domain was between Hizen Province and Korea, while Shimabara was a peninsula that was right near the sea, making it suitable for naval operations.
Liu Jingming's army set off and ran directly to the Shimabara Peninsula, and there were businessmen on the ship who were familiar with Shimabara, who were telling Liu Jingming about the situation in more detail.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is actually very difficult to blockade the island bara, the island is a peninsula, surrounded by the sea on three sides, if there is no blockade at sea, the original castle will be difficult to break, and if you want to support the original castle, you can do it from the sea, Kyukoku Island does not have a regular navy, and their ships are generally not ......"
"They don't have artillery, gunpowder is very rare, the so-called iron cannon, although it seems exquisite, but the range and power are limited, it is okay to scare the Ryukyus, in front of my Celestial Empire, it must be vulnerable......"
"Matsudaira Nobutsuna now has sixty or seventy thousand people, and the samurai are still coming, and it won't take long to break 100,000, and the shogunate attaches great importance to the Shimabara Rebellion and is trying to eliminate it by all means......"
"The rest of the country has blocked the sea, prohibiting the people or other people from going to the sea, and the island of Kyukoku is also being implemented, and they seem to be very afraid of the Xiyi people, forbidding the people to associate with them, and strictly prohibiting the belief in Christianity......"
Liu Jingming listened, and there was a clerk recording not far away, and these were all important pieces of information that should be summarized and reported.
Chen Zhiyang listened, looked at Liu Jingming and said, "My lord, it seems that we have to stay at sea for a few more days to cover the support of the Satsuma Domain to the original city......
Your Excellency, do you want to give them some cannons, grenades or something, if this thing comes suddenly, it will definitely scare these turtles......"
Liu Jingming glanced at him and said, "I still have to ask General Cao for this matter, artillery and firearms can't fall into the hands of outsiders, this is an iron rule."
If the original castle is destroyed, these fall into the hands of the shogunate, let them imitate, and if they want to subdue the Japanese state in the future, the price paid will be great, and at that time, the emperor and the court will blame it, and your and my heads will not be enough to resist ......it."
Chen Zhiyang was cold in his back when he said it, and immediately said: "Yes, then forget it, just give them some ordinary." ” Liu Jingming did not speak, and ordered the fleet to speed up and rush to the Shimabara Peninsula.
It wasn't until dawn that Cao Bianjiao's fleet finally arrived at Tsushimafu, and 3,000 people went to the island, quickly flooding all sides, suppressing all possible chaos and completely controlling Tsushima.
Tsushima Island will be the best stepping stone for the Ming Dynasty to enter the Japanese Kingdom, Cao Bianjiao came here, in addition to observing Jiuguo Island more closely, commanding the operation, there is also to concentrate on the business, a few years later, this will be one of the most important bases in the north of the Ming Navy!
At the same time, Matsudaira Nobutsuna, who had been asleep, was woken up by a rush of footsteps, he came out of it with his clothes on, looked at the person who ran in with a cold face, did not get angry, but said kindly: "What happened?"
” A samurai held up a letter and said, "Back to the main hall, there is an urgent message from the Tsushima Domain, the Ming people sent troops to the Tsushima Domain, and now it may have been occupied, and the army is rushing towards the island of Kyukoku." ” "What did you say?"
Matsudaira Nobutsuna's face changed slightly, he stepped forward and snatched the letter, hurriedly opened it, looked at it hurriedly, his brows furrowed, his eyes flickered, and after a while, his expression recovered, and he said lightly: "Go and ask Itakura Shigemasa to come to me, and also, Miyake Shigeri is also invited." ” "Yes."
The samurai left in a hurry.
Matsudaira Nobutsuna took the letter, looked at it again, went back to the house to change his clothes, knelt down at the small table, looked at the letter on the table, his expression was calm, but his eyes were deep and surging with waves.

The first to come was Itakura Shigemasa, he looked at Matsudaira Nobutsuna, his face was condensed, and said: "Nobutsuna, I heard that the people sent troops to the Ma Domain, and it has been successful?"
” Matsudaira Nobutsuna pushed the letter over and said, "There are not many samurai in the Tsushima Domain, and defeat is to be expected.
Now that Akito has come to Kyukoku Island, what do you think?
” Itakura Shigemasa looked at the letter with a solemn expression, and after a while, he said in a deep voice, "Xingang Palace, we have to ask the public side, and in addition, we must divide our troops to the north and prepare to meet the enemy!"
” "The Akito is different from those Christians in Shimahara," Matsudaira Nobutsuna said with a calm and calm expression, "If they really come to attack on a large scale, it is necessary to divide the troops, then you see, how many troops will the Akito have?"
” The letter was written in a hurry, and it was vaguely said that there were only a few thousand people, but they could not guess how many.
Itakura Shigemasa thought for a while, and said, "This should be the vanguard of the Ming people, they are not familiar with us here, if we can ambush them and wipe them out, the Ming people will definitely be surprised, and they dare not continue to come, we will have time, find out the situation, and then deal with it......"
Matsudaira Nobutsuna nodded, Itakura Shigemasa is not a fool in the end, what he said makes sense, but the truth is not in the idea.
Matsudaira Nobutsuna picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, then said, "My army has now arrived under Shimabara Castle, and it is too late to turn around, and there are only thousands of people, they will not go deep."
What we need to do now is not to divide the troops, but to eradicate the rebellion in the Shimabara in front of us.
After there are no worries, whether it is the Akito or the Tsushima Domain, we can easily defeat and take it back. ” Itakura Shigemasa frowned, he didn't quite agree with Matsudaira Nobutsuna's words.
If the Ming people used this time to gain a firm foothold and lay a solid foundation, it would not be so easy for them to deal with it again.
"Shinzunada, I ask you to go back to Kashima and command in the center, so that you can not only see the situation in Shimabara, but also deal with the Akito, please promise me!"
Itakura Shigemasa bowed down and said in a very sincere tone.
Matsudaira Nobutsuna didn't know the purpose of Itakura Shigemasa, it was nothing more than to personally quell the Shimabara Rebellion and save his life.
But this battle will be a good opportunity for Matsudaira Nobutsuna to make a name for himself and consolidate his position, how could he give up!
He shook his head decisively and said, "No need.
You immediately organize the army, we can't wait any longer, wait for my order to attack at any time, remember, we must win in one battle, we have no time to kill. ” Itakura Shigemasa saw Matsudaira Nobutsuna biting and hated it in his heart, but he didn't dare to make a mistake, and nodded: "Yes!"
” Itakura Shigemasa had a calm face and left with a stomach full of hatred.
