Domineering Daming

This feeling mainly came from Zuo Liangyu, who acted too evil and ruthless, which made them uneasy and always worried that something would happen.

Cao Bianjiao stayed up all night, while studying the Satsuma clan in Kagoshima, and at the same time planning the big game of Wa Kingdom.

Early the next morning, Cao Bianjiao came to Zuo Liangyu, and the two chatted for a while, then went to the school martial arts field, met some Japanese people who had made military achievements, issued rewards and encouragement, and then quickly went to the school. The ship left Kagoshima and turned back to Jeju Island, which is the command base of Cao Bianjiao.

Zuo Liangyu stood at the pier, watching Cao Bianjiao's boat leave, his eyes gradually became indifferent, and anger rose in his heart.

This Cao Bianjiao is only 30 years old, why can he climb on his head?It's not that he has a good uncle who is backed by the emperor!

Is there anything Cao Bianjiao can compare to him?Why was he sent to this barbaric place to work with these barbarians?

The more Zuo Liangyu thought about it, the angrier he became, his face was gloomy and ugly, when Cao Bianjiao's big fleet left Lu'er Lake, the corner of his face twitched, and he said coldly, "Let's go, train!"

As soon as Zuo Liangyu finished speaking, the people behind him trembled and did not dare to say more.

Zuo Liangyu's military training was to kill people, and he committed suicide himself, but if anyone made the slightest mistake, he would pull it out and let him hack and kill himself!

If you are in a good mood, dozens will die, if you are in a bad mood, you can even die hundreds!

At the same time, a middle-aged man from the Hizen Kingdom finally entered the city in Karatsu Fan. He brought ten warriors and sat kneeling in a wooden room all white.

He has hard edges and corners, and his face gives off a mean and gloomy feeling, making it impossible to look directly at him, as if being stared at by a poisonous snake.

——Nobuzuna Matsudaira, Tokugawa Iemitsu's confidant, known as "Wisdom Izu", is one of Tokugawa Iemitsu's most important staff.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna slowly picked up the teacup. Before picking up the teacup, he glanced coldly at the person opposite - Shigemasa Itakura.

Itakura Shigemashi looked dignified, sat on his knees, leaned over and said, "Xin Gangdian, please give me your advice!"

The vassal state of the Wa Kingdom is a state within a country. For example, Matsudaira Nobutsuna created a vassal state. He is the lord of the Ninja vassal of the Musashi country and the first vassal of the Kawagoe vassal.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna took a sip of tea, slowly put down the teacup, looked up at Itakura Shigemashi, and said flatly, "Chongchang, Gongfangyang is very disappointed in you."

Itakura Shigesho was defeated in Shimabara by losing troops and losing generals.Tokugawa Iemitsu is tossing daimyos from all over the world, weakening their strength, and completely ending the Warring States Period. Now Shimabara's defeat is undoubtedly a slap in the face of Tokugawa Iemitsu and the shogunate.

Itakura Shigemasa naturally knew that he had no other choice but to cut seppuku in this defeat, so he bowed and said: "Xin Gangdian, I can still fight, please give me one more time!"

Matsudaira Nobutsuna looked at this person and knew that he had a deep connection in Jiuguo Island. Some family governors and daimyo listened to him, and his help was indispensable to eradicate Shimabara's rebellion.

"Okay, I'll give you a chance." Nobuzuna Matsudaira's tone was cold and indifferent, he leaned over slightly, and said murderously: "If you lose again this time, I will monitor it personally. If you can't stand it, I will give you a chance." Procedure!"

Itakura Shigemasu's expression changed slightly, he bowed abruptly, and said: "Yes, thank you for saving your life, Itakura Shigemasa will never forget it!"

Matsudaira Nobutsuna smiled on his face, but it gave people a more sinister feeling, every move seemed to be suffocating.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became more depressing.Even though Itakura Shigemasa was on the same level as Matsudaira Nobutsuna, he still kept his head down at this time, not daring to be arrogant.

When Nobuzuna Matsudaira arrived in Hizen Country, the situation in Shimabara changed rapidly. Teams of troops were gathering, and at the same time, a steady stream of troops crossed the Kanmon Strait and came to Kyukoku Island.

Shimabara Peninsula, Hara Castle.

In a small city, in a museum-like room, a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old was listening to reports one by one, sitting there motionless, with a calm, wise, calm and steady expression.

Not long after, a middle-aged man in Christian clothing came in and saluted with Christian etiquette: "Angel, Nobuzuna Matsudaira has arrived in Karatsu City and will soon go south. This time, it is said that there will be an army of [-]!"

Chapter 1140 A Letter From Daming Nonsense

The angel he was talking about was Amakusa Shiro, who was called an "angel" by these Christians, and had great prestige among these "rebels".

Amakusa Shiro looked up at the middle-aged man, shook his head calmly and said, "Heisaburo, do you think the shogunate will really mobilize so many samurai? It's nothing more than a bluff, don't be fooled."

This Heizaburo was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized, he said with a smile: "I understand, this is their trick, the strength of the Nine Kingdoms is no longer enough to deal with us, and it will not happen overnight if we want to mobilize an army of [-], and it will not be silent. It is estimated that they will still be recruited from Jiuguo Island, and then the big names will be recruited. Presumably, they will pass through the Kanmon Strait soon, but it will take time to integrate."

Amakusa Shiro nodded, looked at the map, and said, "We can't confront the shogunate head-on. As long as we survive this winter, the shogunate will retreat once the spring plowing arrives!"

Heizaburo believes in Amakusa Shiro. After all, Amakusa Shiro has led them to defeat the shogunate three times with hoes!

At this moment, a woman hurried in and said eagerly, "Angel, a letter from the bishop."

Amakusa Shiro stood up abruptly, rushed over and snatched it over, but was taken aback for a moment, he couldn't recognize the words on it, so he quickly handed it to Heisaburo, saying, "Quick, read it to me."

They are all Christian believers, and they have been isolated and helpless. They were massacred and encircled by various countries. Although they are now in an uprising, they are isolated and helpless. They have been asking for help from the Dutch and Portuguese who are preaching, but they have not responded for a long time.

Heisaburo was also in a hurry, finished the speech in a hurry, and suddenly said with great joy: "Angel, the bishop said that they have moved the Ming Dynasty and will help us. They are very sympathetic to us and may send troops."

Amakusa Shiro immediately said: "Did they say it? How to help? Can you take us away?"

Heizaburo said: "The letter said that Ming people will provide us with weapons, armor, and firearms. At the same time, they will test the pressure on the shogunate to make them respect our religious beliefs, ensure that human rights are not compromised, and not wantonly massacre us. Ming people The boat has already set out to sea, and will pick us up to Daming if necessary."

Amakusa Shiro was overjoyed, holding the letter, although he couldn't read it, and he didn't understand what "human rights" were, but he was still very excited when he knew that the Ming Dynasty was coming to help him, he read it over and over again and said, "By the way, when will their help arrive?" ? When will the ship arrive and where will it go?"

Heizaburo was stunned for a moment, and said: "Angel, I didn't say that, it may be that the letter is too short, or it is not safe. If it is stolen by Itakura Shigesho, it will be troublesome."

Amakusa Shiro nodded again and again, and said: "Yes, yes, yes, it is right to do this. Pay attention, the bishop will definitely send someone to contact us again. As long as we have weapons and food, we will definitely be able to defeat the shogunate. We will definitely be able to... "

"That's right, as long as we survive this winter, the shogunate will definitely withdraw its troops at the beginning of spring!" Heizaburo said in deep agreement.

Soon, the news spread throughout Yuancheng, and everyone was excited. The silent prayer seemed to have a voice, echoing over Yuancheng.

The sky over the original city was changing, Cao Bianjiao left Kagoshima and returned to Jeju Island, while cleaning up the fleet, while collecting more information and making pre-war arrangements.

Jeju Island Base.

Cao Bianjiao, He Xilian, Liu Jingming and a group of people gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

Looking at the huge sand table, He Xilian said: "My lords, this pair of horses is between North Korea and Hizen Domain, and it is the only way from the Wa Kingdom to Korea. If you want to deal with the Wa Kingdom, you must hold this pair of horses in your hand." !"

Liu Jingming was originally a general in Taiwan. He participated in the counterattack against Spain and the Netherlands. In recent years, he has also climbed to the position of deputy commander.

He said: "The last two years will be enough to infiltrate Tsushima Island. Tsushima is the territory of the Zong family. There are few wars and less arable land, but there are quite a lot of sea trade. It has close contacts with North Korea and my Ming Dynasty. , the population is small, there is no regular army, there are only more than 1000 warriors in the feudal lord's office, and other places are basically mobs without much training. But Tsushima Island is mountainous and forested, which is a bit troublesome."

Cao Bianjiao listened and nodded, and said: "Tsushima is not difficult to take down, what's happening on Jiuguo Island now?"

He Xilian said: "The Military Intelligence Office has received news that Nobuzuna Matsudaira has arrived at Karatsu City and is recruiting troops. The troops recruited by the Tokugawa shogunate from various names have also crossed the Kanmon Strait one after another. I judge that within ten days at most, they will I can't wait to attack the original city, and now the disaster is raging, spring plowing is very important to the Wa country, even if the shogunate disagrees, the big names will not accept it, and the war will definitely end before the spring plowing, regardless of success or failure."

Cao Bianjiao nodded, and said: "Our purpose is not to start a war, but to give enough warning to the Japanese country to establish the Huayi order in our Ming Dynasty, which is the order of heaven mentioned by the emperor, and no one or the country will be allowed to provoke it!"

He Xilian said: "The lower official suggested that we take action before Matsudaira Nobutsuna, take Tsushima Island in a big way, and make it clear that we will attack the Hizen Kingdom. Harajo's buffer time can also give the Tokugawa shogunate a time to react. No matter what they do, we will block the Kanmon Strait at that time. If they still refuse to bow their heads, they will take down Ezo after Matsudaira Nobuzuna's defeat. Putting up a big offensive posture, I believe that at this time, Wa Kingdom has no other choice but to 'surrender' obediently."

"If the Wa country still persists, we will use the Satsuma clan's troops to cooperate with Amakusa Shiro of the Harajo Castle, attack from two directions, wipe out Matsudaira Nobuzuna, and take the entire Kyukoku Island. I don't believe what the Wa country can do at this time !" Liu Jingming patted the table and said in a deep voice.

"If it's not enough, then take Shikoku Island, that small island is easy to take, just block the seaway, and leave a home island for Tokugawa Iemitsu!" A captain followed.

Cao Bianjiao glanced at them indifferently, and the faces of those who spoke suddenly became stiff, and they remained silent.

According to what they said, they were about to start a full-scale war with the Wa country, and the next step was to attack the island of the country, enter Edo, and wipe out the Tokugawa shogunate.

Cao Bianjiao looked at He Xilian, and said: "I will agree with Master He's words, take Tsushima Island first, and then the combined fleet will go to Hizen Domain in full force, bombard the shore, and give a warning. By the way, first give Matsudaira Nobuzuna and the Tokugawa family Just send a letter, severely criticizing their massacres, asking them to ensure the religious beliefs and survival rights of the Christians in the original city, to renounce the use of force, to deal with differences through communication and negotiation, and to resolve this matter peacefully..."
