"What does your Japanese affairs have to do with my Ming Dynasty?"
Although the Ming Dynasty had intended to intervene in Japan's internal affairs, Shang Zhouzuo did not eagerly agree to help the shogunate suppress the rebellion, so he just said this.
When Tokugawa Iemitsu saw Shang Zhouzuo saying this, he choked up for a moment.
Although Tokugawa Iemitsu really wants to say, Ming Dynasty, don’t you want the shogunate to continue to be in power and continue to fight for more interests for you in Japan? Are you really willing to sit back and watch the Tokugawa shogunate be overthrown?
But Tokugawa Iemitsu knew that he could think so, but he couldn't say that. After all, if the Ming Dynasty was really pushed into a hurry, it would only lose some interests in Japan, but he was different. He had already reached a moment of life and death.
Therefore, Tokugawa Iemitsu had to kneel down even more humbly, and then prostrated to the ground: "Even so, the rebels are inhumane and rebel against the principles. Your country is really willing to see such traitors succeed, so that If Tsuna no longer exists, do you really want to see my Japanese people being slaughtered? Please ask the angels to save me, Yamato, woo woo!"
Seeing this, Shang Zhouzuo immediately helped Tokugawa Iemitsu: "General, please get up quickly, please get up quickly, why bother!"
Shang Zhouzuo changed his attitude as he spoke, and said: "It's rare for a general to be so sincere. I have also seen the brutality of the overthrowing troops. We can send troops to help, not for anything else, just to follow your instructions." Please, save your people and give you peace."
Tokugawa Iemitsu squeezed out tears of emotion and bowed: "Angels are so kind and virtuous as heaven!"
"However, we need to discuss the details of this assistance. The first one is military expenditure. I can ask for your majesty's permission to provide you with humanitarian aid, but we cannot pay for this military expenditure ourselves."
Shang Zhouzuo said without waiting for Tokugawa Iemitsu's reply: "I know that the shogunate's shogunate is also in financial difficulties now, so you can apply for a loan from our Daming Bank, but the loan must be secured. It is better to The Matsumae Domain territory is pledged.”
Tokugawa Iemitsu couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart. He didn't expect that the people of the Ming Dynasty would actually take a fancy to the territory of Matsumae Domain.
Tokugawa Iemitsu had to say: "I, the shogunate, may not be able to make them obey orders and give up the domain."
"We will help you, but there are conditions. The condition is that you must set up Chinese colleges in each vassal area to teach the scholars of your country Chinese and Confucian knowledge to facilitate communication and promote orthodox learning. As for the money required Even if you don’t have money, you can still borrow money from our country, the Ming Dynasty, and you can use the tariffs as collateral. In addition, your country’s tariffs need to be rectified, so you might as well hire officials who are good at taxation from our country, the Ming Dynasty.”
"Also, you must make laws to treat your country's Confucian scholars kindly, and strictly prohibit the behavior of boycotting bright goods and insulting friendly countries."
Shang Zhouzuo said with a smile.
Tokugawa Iemitsu wanted to refuse.
Because he is not a fool, he knows that Ming Dynasty intends to devour his Japanese country step by step.
But Tokugawa Iemitsu knew that he could not refuse. After all, he chose to need Ming to help him maintain the power position of the shogunate.
"Expand Yamato's material resources and win the favor of the Celestial Empire! Please rest assured that I will do my best to facilitate this matter."
Tokugawa Iemitsu had to endure the humiliation and replied.
"Then set a date, sign a mutual assistance treaty, and issue a joint statement against the brutal behavior of the overthrown troops. When the time comes, I, the Ming Dynasty, will immediately send troops to help you suppress the rebellion."
Shang Zhouzuo said.
Next, it didn't take long for Tokugawa Iemitsu to send his retainer Date Munjun to sign a mutual assistance treaty with Shang Zhouzuo of the Ming Dynasty, and issued a joint statement condemning the offensive behavior of the overthrown army against the Celestial Dynasty.
Not long after the statement was issued, the Ming Dynasty's navy appeared in Kagoshima of Satsuma Domain and launched an attack on Kagoshima.
It was obvious that the Ming Navy had already prepared.
When the battleships of the Ming Dynasty appeared in Kagoshima, it was destined that Kagoshima would become the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
"put!"
After Commander Shen Rong gave the order, hundreds of cannons violently bombarded Japanese ships outside Kagoshima. Huge waves were set off on the sea, and wooden shore buildings collapsed.
The Samurai warriors of the Satsuma domain watched all this helplessly, holding katana swords in both hands.
"Seppuku!"
I don't know who gave the order, and all these Japanese warriors committed seppuku and cut themselves open in the stomach.
They had already experienced the strength of their instructor Daming through various sea battles, so they knew they couldn't defeat him and had no choice but to commit seppuku to show to Daming's navy.
In order to give a big shock to the overthrown alliance, Shen Rong ordered the navy to land on Kagoshima and plunder all the women in Kagoshima and bury all the men.
Just like the later Japanese state that prevented the Northern Expedition and caused a tragedy in Jinan.
"Kagoshima was occupied by the Ming army?!"
When Shimazu Mitsuhisa heard the news, he sat back in his chair in shock and picked up the emperor's notice of condemnation against him again.
"It's too much!"
Shimazu Mitsuhisa kicked over a chair in front of him, then yelled, "Why is that Ming Dynasty so shameless! In order to avoid conflict with them, we did not attack Nagasaki, and still sat back and watched them in our waters. Patrolling, why do they still want to bully us, accuse us of firing cannons at them, and occupy my Kagoshima! I want revenge! Revenge!"
Shimazu Mitsuhisa said excitedly and then he spit out a mouthful of blood.
Mao Lixiu came over at this time and said: "No! The Ming army cannot be offended. We are not their opponents. What we need to care more about now is that they support the shogunate. From my inference, the shogunate must have given It was a great benefit to the Ming Dynasty, but it once again signed a treaty that was humiliating and humiliating the country."
Shimazu Mitsuhisa said angrily: "If the Ming Dynasty is not destroyed, our Japanese country will be in trouble!"
Mourixiu smiled bitterly: "What can be done? This is an invincible super empire. During the period of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, we also fought bloody battles with it, but unfortunately we lost!"
"He always has moments of weakness!"
Mitsuhisa Shimazu said.
"It's useless to say this. If we want to overthrow the shogunate now, we can only offer greater conditions than the shogunate and win over the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, we will all be regarded as traitors by the shogunate and sentenced to death!"
Mourixiu said.
Shimazu Mitsuji was about to cry but had no tears. He spread his hands and said: "What is this? The Ming Dynasty has taken over my Kagoshima, and I still have to bow down and show my kindness to him! Isn't it cheap?"
"There is no other way. If you can't do it, let me send people to contact the people of the Ming Dynasty. I believe they will not be willing to see the existence of a unified Japanese country."
Mourishow said.
Shimazu Mitsuhisa nodded and said: "I will lead the overthrown army and continue to advance. I hope to kill Tokugawa Iemitsu, a traitorous man who seeks glory!"
But then, due to the addition of the Ming Dynasty Marine Corps, the Ming Dynasty has now begun to install percussion guns with mercury fulminates as propellants, crushing the Japanese even more in firearms combat, and the shogunate army has also urgently ordered a batch of Ming Dynasty's guns. Flintlock guns were used, and their strength was greatly increased. Therefore, the overthrow of the Tokugawa Army was defeated in the Hiroshima area.
Shimazu Mitsuhisa had to commit suicide by committing seppuku.
But even so, Tokugawa Iemitsu did not forgive his hatred and ordered Shimazu Mitsuhisa to be crushed to ashes.
