Domineering Daming

Itakura Shigemasu said with a look of reluctance, "Thank you General for your kindness, but I have a heavy responsibility and things are complicated. If possible, I would like to invite the General ashore, and I will entertain you with the highest Japanese etiquette!"

Liu Jingming didn't like such false politeness, and knew it was necessary, he said: "In that case, I won't bother you. I came here on orders, and I can't return empty-handed. I hope the general will remember what I just said, it is absolutely impossible. Massacres, acts of extermination, are against the peace of heaven, disrespecting the way of heaven, and inhumane. If you are found out, even I will not be able to stop you. At that time, the tide of heavenly soldiers will definitely come, and the thunder will frighten you..."

Itakura Shigemasaki could hear the threat in Liu Jingming's words, but he didn't care, he didn't slaughter, he didn't exterminate, he had a hundred ways to make these Christians disappear slowly, so that Ming people couldn't catch them.

What's more, when he wiped out the Shimabara Rebellion, it doesn't matter what Akito thinks or does!

"Yes, general, please tell His Majesty the Emperor of your country that our country is just as benevolent and will not kill recklessly!" Itakura Shigemasa said solemnly.

Liu Jingming naturally didn't believe such nonsense, but he still said sincerely: "I believe in the general. I will leave in three days. General, please don't make things difficult for me."

Itakura Shigemasa wished he could go back to fight right away, but it was obviously not possible today, he said: "Don't worry, general, we will not launch an attack in the next three days, and we will never make things difficult for the general!"

With a satisfied smile on Liu Jingming's face, he replied: "There is only three days' food and grass on board, and we will definitely leave after three days."

Receiving Liu Jingming's promise, Itakura Shigemasa was so happy that he wanted to fly up, bowed again, and said, "It's a pity that I can't have a drink with the general. If you have time, please come to Wa Kingdom again. I will definitely wait for you!"

Liu Jingming knew that this was the last time to be courteous, he felt relieved, and said: "If the general comes to Daming, the general will definitely be reluctant to leave. Come and escort the general ashore!"

Itakura Shigemasa bowed to Liu Jingming again, and got off the boat with some reluctance.

Liu Jingming looked at Itakura Shigemashang on the boat and turned his head three times. He also paid attention to the side of the boat and smiled at each other.

Chen Zhiyang stood beside Liu Jingming. He was also not used to such false politeness, and said, "My lord, tell me, will they really be obedient?"

According to Chen Zhiyang's thinking, if the people of the Wa Kingdom restrained themselves and were not in a hurry to start a war, then the Shimabara Rebellion would not end so easily, and the national power of the Wa Kingdom would be further consumed here.

Facing the sea breeze with his hands behind his back, Liu Jingming said with a hearty smile, "It doesn't matter. For these three days, one is to tell Amakusa Shiro that we can help him at sea, and to boost his morale and determination. The second is to send Amakusa Shiro some Supplies, let him have stronger strength against Matsudaira Nobuzuna. Three days later when they start fighting, we will go back to Jeju Island to replenish, and then set off for the Kanmon Strait. We went to cast a wave of mines and blocked their back route and the exchange of food and grass."

Chen Zhiyang suddenly understood, and said, "My lord, I really don't want to give Amakusa Shiro some cannons. With this thing, it will not be so easy for Matsudaira Nobuzuna to destroy him."

Liu Jingming was also hesitating. Before he came, Cao Bianjiao asked him to act in the camera. He pondered and said, "We have the best cannons here. We can't give them to you. Let the Satsuma clan take out some outdated ones and put them on Amakusa Shiro's face to scare them." Those bumpkins."

"Yes!" Chen Zhiyang was overjoyed.He just likes to see surprises, and he believes that Matsudaira Nobuzuna and Itakura Shigemasa will be pleasantly surprised!

Itakura Shigemasa was dangling on the sea, seeing that the shore was not far away, the samurai beside him asked, "Dian, is Mingren's words trustworthy? Are they really here to save those Christians?"

Itakura Shigemasa lost the respectful look he had on the boat before. He glanced at him lightly and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as they don't go ashore for three days."

The two warriors beside him were stunned for a while, and then they realized something.

If the Ming people don't go ashore for three days, they will have enough time to make arrangements, and it will be too late when the Ming people want to go ashore.

Itakura Shigemasa didn't care about what was behind him, he kept looking at the north.

The Shimabara Rebellion was full of twists and turns, and Nobuzuna Matsudaira's side was like an abyss, and he couldn't get to the bottom of it. If it keeps procrastinating, I'm afraid that Edo's side will lose patience and arrest him directly.

"The Shimabara Rebellion must be eradicated as soon as possible!" Shigemasa Itakura clenched his fists and said coldly in his heart.

If you want to eradicate Harajo, you must convince Matsudaira Nobuzuna.Itakura Shigemasa was already thinking in his heart, how could he fool Matsuhira Nobutsuna.

Itakura Shigesho came and went back and forth, and it was almost dark that day.

In Matsudaira Nobutsuna's museum, Itakura Shigemasa and Matsudaira Nobuzuna sat opposite each other.

Itakura Shigemashang looked dignified, and said: "Xin Gangdian, Mingren assured me that they will not go ashore, we just need to be prepared, and everything else will continue as usual!"

Matsudaira Nobutsuna habitually picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "How many of them are there?"

Itakura Shigemasu calculated silently, and said: "Yoxin Gangden's estimate is not bad, it is about three thousand."

Matsudaira Nobutsuna put down his teacup and said, "How about their firearms?"

Itakura Shigemasa said solemnly: "The artillery is very powerful, with a long range and great power."

Nobutsuna Matsudaira raised his head, looked at Shigemasa Itakura, and said in silence for a while, "Are you sure they will leave in three days?"

"Yes, they promised me." Itakura Shigemasa said with certainty.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna looked at him with some scrutiny, and said after a while: "Okay, three days later, attack the original city. Other daimyos will arrive one after another. Chongchang, this is the last chance I will give you. I hope to keep yours." life, and I don't have to send you the last ride."

Itakura Shigemasu's expression changed, and he immediately said: "Yes, please rest assured!"

Matsudaira Nobutsuna looked at him, nodded slightly, and sent him away.

Shigetoshi Miyake then appeared from the outside, knelt down, and said solemnly: "Dian, something is wrong."

Matsudaira Nobutsuna picked up his teacup and said, "Tell me about it."

Shigetoshi Miyake said: "The Ming people occupied the Tsushima domain, and now they are going south to support the Shimabara rebellion. Obviously, there is a detailed plan, and they will not be anticlimactic. They decided to retreat in three days, there must be other conspiracy."

"What do you think it will be?" Nobuzuna Matsudaira said calmly with a cold expression.

Shigetoshi Miyake frowned, and thought: "The forwards of the Ming people are only 3000, which means that they don't have many troops. If they want to invade our Japanese country, they can't do it without more than 20 troops. The villain believes that the Ming people have not yet fully The intention of invading is just to cause us some trouble. Most of their returning troops this time are consolidating rear troops. When we start a war in Shimabara, they will attack in the north and let us face enemies on both sides. In the chaos... so, the fisherman reaps the benefits!"

What Shigetoshi Miyake said was methodical and quite logical and realistic.

Even Matsudaira Nobutsuna couldn't find anything against it. Thinking about it differently, if it was him, he would do the same.

After a while of silence, Nobutsuna Matsudaira said, "Tsushima Fan, what's going on over there?"

"The Zong family has already surrendered, and the entire Tsushima Domain is under the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, I heard that their army has come up and has been stationed in Tsushima. There are thousands of people." Miyake Shigetoshi said.

Matsudaira Nobuzuna showed doubts, and said: "So, the size of the Ming army is less than 1 at most?"

Shigetoshi Miyake is also puzzled, what can 1 people do?

But he didn't say much, and said directly: "Dian, no matter what their plot is, the focus must be Shimabara. As long as we eliminate Amakusa Shiro in Hara Castle as soon as possible, their plot will come to naught!"

Nobutsuna Matsudaira looked at Shigetoshi Miyake, his eyes flickered slightly, and said: "Tell Shigemasa Itakura that I can only give him two days to organize the army, and on the third day, launch an attack on me before Akito leaves!"

Shigetoshi Miyake was startled, but immediately understood that Nobutsuna Matsudaira still wanted to test it out, and he was uneasy after all that Akito's plot had not surfaced.

Chapter 1148 The Great War Begins

That night, small boats sailed into Shimabara Bend silently, and docked in the darkness.

On the shore, Amakusa Shiro and others hid in the dark, watching the boat approaching the shore with a little fire, but they still didn't dare to stand up immediately.

Heisaburo whispered in his ear, "Angel, the signal is to turn on the light three times, as long as it is confirmed, there will be no problem."

Amakusa Shiro was frightened now, but looked not far away full of hope, nodded dryly, and did not speak.

This time it was Hua Shanjiu who escorted the supplies. Besides escorting, he also came to explore the route.

In the dark, he observed the terrain, held up a lantern, and covered it with a black cloth three times.

Amakusa Shiro was overjoyed, and immediately ran out with people and went straight to the beach.
