The staff officer's eyes widened and he said, "Isn't that a cheap skin?" ”

Liu Pei said with a dumb smile: "What do you think? They are such a people! So squeeze them, you're welcome! But it doesn't have to be too harsh. Give them a portion of the food they collect, and you'll find that they're very grateful to you! ”

The confused staff officer went to run errands. As a result, he found that things really developed as Liu Pei said! These people are deferential and hardworking, and at the same time they are very fierce!

They are obedient and hardworking because they work hard and hard. The widows even cleaned up the contents of the ruins. You must know that gold and silver cannot be burned, at most it can only change shape. In the places cleaned by the Japanese people, the officers agreed that there would be absolutely no remaining usable supplies.

As for ferocity, it means that they are very fierce towards people of the same race. When Liu Pei's soldiers led a group of Japanese people to search for distant places, the Japanese robbed almost all the belongings of their fellow families and drove them to do heavier and more dangerous work. No one understands what the Japanese people do, but everyone says it's a good feeling.

After a long day's hard work, they were able to obtain a large amount of gold, silver, and even copper coins from the ruins of Nagasaki. Most of them were burned and turned into strange shapes, though. But that doesn't make them any less valuable. They were all put away by the happy soldiers. They also collected large quantities of other supplies from places that had never been affected by artillery fire.

By the evening, the officer who had counted the harvest let out a long breath! He found that the ability of these Japanese people to collect materials was still very strong! Not to mention gold, silver, and copper coins, even grain and other materials were collected as high as a hill.

With the idea of trying it out, the officer called the Japanese people and distributed them a batch of grain. It stands to reason that the grain itself was snatched from them, and now it is distributed to them, and only a small batch has been given to them, and these people should be very angry!

But unexpectedly, these Japanese people bowed again and again with joy on their faces, and then called others to carry the grain. Then he was cooking on a fire in the ruins. The performance of the Japanese people made the officers very confused, but

But it proved the correctness of what Liu Pei said.

The next day, after a full day of searching, the Japanese brought back a large amount of supplies. In the evening, the soldiers brought enough supplies to the boats, and gave all the remaining food to the Japanese people. These Japanese people were grateful to Dade for taking back what they had been robbed of, and the soldiers laughed when they saw it.

Liu Pei then had a sign made, nailed to the open space outside the castle tower, and then went on the boat to rest. In the past two days, the soldiers in the sky guard pavilion have been exceptionally well-behaved. Not only did they not go into battle, but they didn't even put their guns when the soldiers drove the Japanese people to collect supplies.

After they saw the sign that Liu Pei had erected, a samurai went out of the city to see what was written on the sign. When the samurai returned, the other samurai gathered around and asked him what he had seen. Because they found that the samurai was pale and trembling all over!

The samurai said, "It says, 'In three days, Tosa Shimizu'." ”

Tosa Shimizu is not far from long-term. It can be reached by sailing along the coastline. Tosashimizu, like Nagasaki, is a city by the sea. It's just that they don't have the function of trade, just an ordinary city.

Liu Pei left these words to mean that what he did in Nagasaki would be done again in Tosa Shimizu three days later! Of course, the samurai present understood what this meant. One by one, their faces turned pale.

One of the samurai said anxiously, "What should I do?" There is no water master there in Qingshui, they will cause another massacre there! ”

Another samurai said, "Send someone to inform them overnight." That's all we can do. At the same time, I sent someone to my house to report the situation. ”

After the samurai discussed it, they immediately sent someone to inform Tosa Shimizu and Edo, while closely observing the movements of Liu Pei's fleet. Liu Pei's fleet was not in a hurry, and rested on the sea for a night without panic, and only at dawn the next day did he calmly pull anchor and set sail, sailing to the east at a slow speed.

Sure enough, three days later, in the morning, Liu Pei felt that he had rushed to Tosa Shimizu. The defenders here were notified that all the people of the Ajing Wa Kingdom had moved away. Liu Pei doesn't care, anyway, there is no oil and water here. he

After burning down the city with an arson bomb, he rested for the night, and once again left a wooden sign to go to the east air.

In this way, Liu Pei spent three days on the road, and two days to destroy a city to continue sailing eastward. Along the way, Liu Pei did not attack the city, but only collected some supplies in the local area to replenish the fleet's consumption.

But at this time, the upper echelons of the Wa Kingdom were already boiling. The samurai who delivered the news ran and killed an unknown number of horses, spreading the news to every coastal city. Tokugawa Iemitsu, the head of the Tokugawa family, also received the news.

At this time, he was meeting his retainers in the imperial palace in Edo. The main content of the deliberations was Liu Pei's actions. A retainer had just returned to his seat after announcing the news he had received. There was silence in the room.

Tokugawa Iemitsu was the third shogun of the Edo shogunate. The second son of the second-generation shogun Tokugawa Hidetada, and his mother is Asai E. Keicho was born in Edo Castle in 1604. His grandfather, Tokugawa Ieyasu, gave him the nickname "Takechiyo", which means to become a third-generation shogun.

After Takechiyo was born, he was immediately taken away from his parents and handed over to his nurse Afuku (Kasuga Bureau) to raise, so Tokugawa Hidetada and Ajiang were very unfamiliar with their son Takechiyo, plus Takechiyo was weak, stammered a little and had a mediocre appearance, and the two disliked Takechiyo even more.

Therefore, many people also continue to curry favor with Tokugawa Hidetada and his wife and Kunichiyo because Kunichiyo (Tokugawa Hidenaka's second son, Tokugawa Nakacho) may become a third-generation general. Takechiyo felt very dissatisfied, but helpless.

Until one time, Takechiyo attempted suicide. Afuku, who had long felt that Takechiyo would be deprived of his inheritance, went to Sunpu Castle to tell Tokugawa Ieyasu the truth about the inside of Edo Castle and the unfairness of Tokugawa Hidetada.

Later, Tokugawa Ieyasu came out to Tokugawa Hidetada and his wife to say that he wanted to divide the heirs, and repeatedly emphasized to the world that no matter what happened, Tokugawa Iemitsu would be the next three generations of generals, so Tokugawa Iemitsu could ensure the succession of the three generations of shoguns.

Tokugawa Iemitsu was not good-looking when he was a child, and he is not a good-looking person now. However, the long-term life of the superior still gave him enough bearing. Now he squinted his eyes and said, "Let's all talk about what we think." ”
