The news of the destruction of the Otomo family quickly spread throughout Kyushu.

The Shimazu family, one of the three overlords of Kyushu.

"The Otomo family was destroyed, but it was the Ming army that took action, which is incredible."

When Shimazu Tadamasa, the governor of the Shimazu family, received the report from his subordinates, the whole person couldn't help but sigh.

The Shimazu family and the Otomo family, as one of the two overlords on Kyushu Island, plus the Ito family that occupies the Hyuga country, the three families have been fighting each other for a long time, and no one can help anyone for a while.

For the strength of the Otomo family, he couldn't be clearer, he will not be inferior to the Shimazu family at all, and even more powerful, his old opponent, the family governor of the Otomo family, Otomo Masa, is a generation of heroes, ambitious, and also far-sighted, is an extremely difficult opponent.

However, now, such a powerful opponent, the Otomo family, which has dominated Kyushu Island for hundreds of years, has been destroyed, and it is the most unexpected Ming army from thousands of miles away that has destroyed the Otomo family.

"Have you found out why?"

Shimazu Tadamasa pondered for a while and asked.

"It has been found out, the Ming army came to retaliate this time, the Dayou family took the lead in collecting heavy taxes on the Ming merchant ships, and at the same time ransacked the Ming merchant ship Kunlun Mountain and killed the Ming merchants, so it attracted the revenge of the Ming Dynasty."

The subordinates began to explain this battle in detail, the same forces on Kyushu Island, several major families have planted eyeliner on each other's side of the family, such a big thing, it can't be hidden from the eyes and ears of the Shimazu family.

"The Otomo political relatives are really too greedy, they have already made a lot of money by doing resale trade, and they even took the lead in collecting heavy taxes, and they even had the audacity to kill Ming merchants and loot merchant ships, which is really self-defeating."

After listening to the report of his subordinates, Shimazu Tadamasa also breathed a sigh of relief.

The Ming army only came to take revenge, not to invade the Wa Kingdom, which is enough, if you take revenge, as long as you take revenge, the Ming army will naturally withdraw.

If they come to invade the Wa Kingdom, then the Ming army will not be so easy to leave, and their Shimazu family is on the key core of Kyushu Island, and they may become the target of the Ming army.

Then what will the Shimazu family do to fight against the powerful Ming army?

With just 10,000 Ming troops, they easily wiped out the Otomo family, how good can their Shimazu family be?

"Fortunately, there was no interest in the beginning, and I didn't go to ransack the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise our Shimazu family would be finished this time."

At the same time, Shimazu Tadamasa was also happy.

In the past two years, the strength of the Otomo family and the Ouchi family has increased greatly, all relying on the sea trade with the Ming Dynasty, and the Shimazu family is located in the south of Kyushu Island, and the interests are relatively small, so there are some voices within the Shimazu family, wanting to loot the past Ming merchant ships.

At that time, Shimazu Tadamasa felt that this idea was not good, the Ming Dynasty was the suzerainty of the Wa State, and he had always been very good to the Wa State, and it could be said that he had been friendly for generations, and he did something to the ships of the suzerain, and once the news leaked, his reputation in the Wa State would be stinky.

What's more, in the past two years, the Ming Dynasty's maritime trade has developed rapidly, and the travel to and from the Japanese country has become more and more frequent, and last year I heard that the Ming Dynasty defeated the little prince of the grassland, and left all the little prince's million troops in the Central Plains, which shows that the Ming Dynasty is strong.

Therefore, he opposed the looting of the past Ming merchant ships, and even when the Ming Dynasty in various parts of the Japanese Kingdom began to impose heavy taxes on the Ming merchant ships, he was hesitant to follow the heavy taxes.

Thinking about it now, he is also secretly glad that he withstood the pressure within the clan at that time, otherwise the Shimazu family would be similar to the Otomo family now.

"Pass the order, it is strictly forbidden to hurt the Ming merchants in the future, and embarrass the Ming merchants, otherwise there will be no forgiveness."

After thinking about it, Shimazu Tadamasa also gave another order.

This Ming merchant is not easy to mess with, he directly dispatched tens of thousands of troops, thousands of warships, across thousands of nautical miles to kill the Japanese country, he has a premonition, the next Japanese country will inevitably be turbulent because of the arrival of these tens of thousands of Ming troops.

"The arrival of tens of thousands of Ming troops is definitely not just as simple as cleaning up Otomo's house, I'm afraid there will be a good show to watch next."

Shimazu Tadamasa smiled and judged.

"The artillery used by the Ming army is so sharp, I don't know if I can buy some arms and weapons from the Ming Dynasty, if there can be more than a dozen such artillery, the unification of Kyushu Island is just around the corner."

Then, soon his attention was on the artillery of the Ming army, and he was also thinking about whether he could buy arms and weapons from the Ming Dynasty. Line

Of course, not only the Shimazu family received the news, but the Ito family also received the news in the first time, and they were also shocked by the destruction of the Otomo family, and the Ito family was also trembling with fear.

Because the Ito family is also one of the families that followed the daimyo in various places and only levied heavy taxes on the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty, but their Ito family did not loot the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty, nor did they kill the merchants of the Ming Dynasty.

But because of the heavy taxes imposed on the Ming merchant ships, the Ito family was also scared half to death, and they kept an eye on the movements of the Ming army, for fear that the Ming army would turn around and destroy their Ito family.

However, they soon breathed a sigh of relief, because they found that after the Ming army destroyed the Otomo family, they also continued to move north, and soon entered the Seto Inland Sea, heading straight for the Kyoto area, the core of the Muromachi shogunate.

On the other side of the Honshu Island, the Chugoku (yes, that's the name) area, the family that occupies this large area is the Ouchi family, and the Ouchi family is in full swing at this time, and its strength is unprecedentedly strong.

Under the leadership of Ouchi Yoshixing, the Ouchi family at this time was extremely strong, with the guardianship of the seven kingdoms of Zhoufang, Nagato, Iwami, Chikuzen, Fengzen, Daigo, and Anyu, and was the strongest force in Western China and the island of Kyushu, and was also one of the most powerful daimyo in the country at this time.

The news that the Otomo family was wiped out by the Ming Dynasty army also reached the Ouchi family in the first time.

"What?"

"The Otomo family was wiped out by the Ming army?"

When the family governor Ouchi Yoshixing heard the news, the whole person stood up instantly, and his eyes were in disbelief.

Then it is to start the news to understand the details of the destruction of the Otomo family, and to understand the movements and purposes of the Ming army.

"Because of the heavy taxation, the killing of Ming merchants and the looting of Ming merchant ships?"

After listening to the report, Ouchi Yoshixing couldn't help but fall silent.

The Ouchi family is also one of the first families to levy heavy taxes on the Ming merchant ships, and in the same way, the Ouchi family also supported some Japanese to loot the past Ming merchant ships, but the Ouchi family did not do anything on their side, often looting merchant ships, and they could get money, and they did not kill all the merchants of the Ming Dynasty.

But the Otomo family was destroyed because of this incident, and Ouchi Yoshixing immediately knew that the trouble of the Ouchi family was coming, and this matter was very likely to break the Ouchi family to pieces, and now it depends on what Daming is going to do.

"Immediately prepare to send someone to Kyoto to ask for a meeting with the emperor, ask the emperor to come forward and resolve the misunderstanding between our Ouchi family and the Damei, and send someone to ask for help from the shogunate, our Ouchi family is willing to give up supporting Ashikaga Yoshisai, on the condition that they must come forward to mediate the relationship between our Ouchi family and the Damei."

"As long as Da Ming is willing to withdraw his troops, our Da Nei family is willing to pay any conditions."

Ouchi Yoshihei thought carefully and soon made a decision.

In the face of the powerful Ming army, he knew very well that he had a few catties and a few taels, and the Ouchi family was very strong on the side of the Wa Kingdom, but compared with the powerful Da Ming Dynasty, not to mention his Da Nei family, the entire Wa Kingdom was nothing.

This time, the fact that the Ming Dynasty could easily dispatch tens of thousands of troops, thousands of warships, and thousands of nautical miles to the side of the Wa Kingdom is enough to show how powerful the strength of the Ming Dynasty is.

With 10,000 troops, it was easy to destroy the Otomo family, and it was easy to destroy their Ouchi family, so the only chance was for the emperor and the shogunate to come forward to coordinate this matter.

As long as Da Ming doesn't pursue this matter, their Da Nei family can survive this catastrophe, otherwise when the Da Ming army arrives, it will be the time when their Da Nei family perishes.

For this reason, he also gave up a lot, and his original plan was to support the deposed shogun Ashikaga Yoshisai, and finally learn from Cao Cao, and come to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

Now in order to survive this catastrophe, he has to give up this plan, because if the Ouchi family is gone, all ambition and hope will be gone, and it will no longer matter who supports him.

Then, at this time, the Iwami Province area in the north of the Chugoku region of the Honshu Island of the Wa Kingdom, and here in Shimane Prefecture in the later generations, the 10,000 troops led by Hou Yang Yun also took this place very smoothly after a few days of sailing.

To the north of Iwami Province is the Sea of Whales (the Sea of Japan in later generations, thanks to the book friend for pointing out this mistake, the Sea of Japan was named after we lost the Great Khingan Mountains, as for the previous it seems to be called the Sea of Whales, because there are so many whales here), the northeast is ruled by another daimyo family, the Niko family, and the southeast is ruled by the Maori family.

Therefore, Yang Yun's army directly arrived to the north of Iwami Province and landed directly from the coastline north of Iwami Province.

"There's a silver mine here that contains hundreds of millions of taels of silver?"

Yang Yun stepped on the land of Iwami Province, stood on the top of a high mountain, and looked around with a telescope, it was really a little hard to believe that there could be a silver mine containing hundreds of millions of silver in such a place.

"Capture the Iwami Country~"

However, this did not affect the actions of Yang Yun's army, as soon as the tens of thousands of troops landed in Iwami Province, they immediately slaughtered the country of Iwami Province with great momentum and vigor, and this time, they not only wanted to occupy here, but also prepared not to leave.
