Kagoshima Bay, Sakurajima Volcano!

Located in Kagoshima Bay, Kyushu, Japan, it is a symbol of Kagoshima and is an active volcano with an area of about 77 square kilometers, consisting of Mt. Kitatake (1,117 meters above sea level), Mt. Nakadake (1,060 meters above sea level), and Mt. Minami (1,040 meters above sea level).

It is now a literal volcanic island, small eruptions occur almost every day, the loud noise just now is a big eruption, the column of smoke rises into the sky, accompanied by lightning, far away, look through the telescope, see the fiery red magma flowing down like water!

It's spectacular!

"Next to that is their dwelling, how did the Japanese build an important city on the edge of a volcano?" Chen Xinji asked puzzled.

"The Japanese people don't care about this, they like cherry blossoms, the cherry blossoms bloom for a very short time, the Japanese people think that as long as they cherish it, they think that the most beautiful time of cherry blossoms is not when they are in full bloom, but when they wither, they reach their peak in a moment of dazzling beauty, and that's enough!

Therefore, the Japanese people don't care that the city is built on the edge of a volcano, even if it is destroyed by a volcano, as long as they survive, it is a success! Yan Changwu was boastful.

"This is a country with connotation, and it doesn't look easy to mess with!" Storm said beside him.

"Exactly! If we go to war with the whole kingdom, there is no chance of victory, and there is no need! Yan Changwu said.

At the previous military conference, some people coveted the gold and silver of Wajima, and thought that they could get a piece of the pie, how good!

"Just think about it!" Yan Changwu said unceremoniously.

Speaking of population alone, there are less than 300,000 people, and tens of millions of people in the Japanese country want to swallow elephants?

In addition, the culture of the southeast province is weak, and it is not possible that the Japanese state swallowed itself rather than the Japanese state.

On that day, 12 capital ships and logistics ships of the Southeast Fleet were anchored in Kagoshima Bay, and Naval Officer Hong Hee-guan was ordered to negotiate with the Wakata Satsuma Domain.

Satsuma Domain!

Officially known as the Kagoshima Domain, it was a vassal territory of Japan's Edo period, located in the southwestern part of Kyushu, and during the Edo period, its territory controlled the Satsuma Province, Osumi Province, and part of the Hyuga Kingdom, and the Ryukyu Kingdom was also under their control, and its territory included the whole of present-day Kagoshima Prefecture (including the Amami Islands of the Ryukyu Kingdom) and the southwestern part of Miyazaki Prefecture.

Before the Tokugawa shogunate, it was a dependency of Satsuma Province, Osumi Province, and part of Hyuga Province. After the Battle of Sekigahara, the Satsuma Domain was established. During the Edo period, the daimyo feudal domains that were close to the shogunate were near Edo, which is now Tokyo, and the more distant they were, the farther their territories became. The Satsuma Domain was located in the westernmost part of Japan's four islands, and its relationship with the shogunate can be imagined.

The whip is out of reach!

In the future, the "tail will not fall"!

At that time, Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Edo Shogunate, had a great talent and strategy, replacing the monkey (Kinoshita Toyoshiro) as the ruler of the Wa Kingdom, and he also knew that the Satsuma Domain was centrifugal to the shogunate, but he had no choice but to endure it and let the light of the river crab shine.

Because of Yoshihiro Shimazu! 、

At the time of the Battle of Sekigahara (Satsuma Domain), although the Shimazu family was in the Western Army (anti-Tokugawa), they should have been on the side of liquidation after the war, but Tokugawa Ieyasu was afraid of the strong combat effectiveness of the Shimazu Army under the command of Shimazu Yoshihiro (who had participated in the Battle of Kisakihara, the Battle of Sishu, the Battle of Luliang, the Battle of Sekigahara, etc.), and on the other hand, he respected such a relatively powerful opponent, and coupled with the harsh natural conditions such as the volcanic zone and typhoons in the area, it was really chicken ribs and tasteless (if it was a rich plain, it would be different). In addition, the Tokugawa family's retainer Naomasa Ii tried his best to maintain the original status of the Shimazu territory, which also made the Shimazu family a powerful feudal clan that could be called Ida and Maeda in addition to the Tokugawa family.

……

Shimazu Tadashi, the lord of the Satsuma Domain, was the first lord of the Satsuma Domain during the Edo period of the Wa Kingdom, and ascended to the throne as the third son of Shimazu Yoshihiro.

Shimazu Tadashi attached great importance to the visit of the people from the southeast prefecture and personally met with Hong Xiguan.

Located on the seaside, the "Kankai Pavilion" is located on a high ground, and you can easily see the Sakurajima volcano on the other side of the bay, and watch the fire from across the sea, the scenery is beautiful, but the Japanese people who attended the meeting are not happy, and they can also see the Akito warship in the distance with the help of Western-style binoculars!

Tall and majestic, with many muzzles, in comparison, the small boat is not worth mentioning!

The current Wa Kingdom was in the early days of the Edo shogunate's rule, and after the defeat of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's invasion of Korea, the people were stable, did not develop the military, and their armaments were poor!

Especially seeing the representatives of the Ming people who came in, it made the Japanese people even more depressed.

Hong Xiguan was dressed brightly, and his beautiful military uniform and the accessories on it blinded the eyes of the Japanese people!

I've never seen a Ming costume, but I have to say, it's so beautiful!

He is tall, has a good face, a majestic spirit, and a neat military appearance, and he is the first to win as soon as he appears.

achieved Yan Changwu's goal: to shock the other party without a fight.

After coming in, dozens of pairs of Japanese people stared at him, Hong Xiguan was not afraid at all, he was not afraid of the Fujian governor and the general army of coastal defense at the beginning, and now he is even more afraid of seeing the Japanese who are equivalent to a prefect.

He bowed to Shimazu Tadahiro, and Shimazu Tadashi also bowed back in return.

Ming!

Don people!

The behemoth is also like a big country in the east heavy on the hearts of the Japanese people, several continental expeditions have been defeated in their hands, and now the Ming people are coming with a big ship, and the Japanese really dare not be arrogant!

“…… I have come on the orders of my lord, the overseer of the southeast of the Ming Dynasty, because I have received a complaint from the Ryukyu Kingdom, which is a vassal of the Ryukyu Kingdom, saying that you have violated them without reason and forced them to make unequal treaties, which is disrespectful to my Ming Dynasty! ......" (100 sentences omitted)

"Therefore, we ask you to withdraw from Amami Goshima, and at the same time compensate the Ryukyu Kingdom for the loss of 100,000 taels of silver, and give our country 100,000 taels of silver for sending troops! If my lord was assassinated by your men, he will pay a hundred thousand taels of silver. Hong Xiguan said loudly, which immediately caused a commotion among the Japanese people, some people scolded him as "Baga", and some people wanted to find him instead of scolding him!

The Chinese he used was understandable to many of the Japanese people present.

At that time, Chinese was the language of the aristocracy in the upper echelons of the Wa Kingdom and the Bangzi Kingdom, while Japanese and Korean were used by the common people, such as the Korean language "Xunmin Zhengyin", which was used by the inferior people, and the nobles used Chinese, so everyone communicated without hindrance, and immediately the crowd was surging and boiling like porridge.

Amami Goto returned to the Ryukyus? Don't even think about it, don't think about the meat that we Japanese eat and don't think we will spit it out.

300,000 taels of silver, you might as well grab it!

The Satsuma Domain had a harsh environment, low income, no rice imports, and no surplus silver for the courtiers.

In a word: if you want money, you don't have an island, and you have a life!
