Some Japanese generals such as Matsuo Keiichi were short-tempered and shouted that they only wanted a fight.

Such reckless people, and he said a lot about losing his labor-management status, and Hong Xiguan turned a deaf ear.

There are also Japanese people like the old Xixiang Ruoshan Yin said: "We worship the Ming Dynasty, Hong Jun keeps saying that the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty has never seen a person dressed like Hong Jun, dare to ask the Hong monarch, the governor of the southeast mansion worships the Ming Dynasty, you might as well give advice!" ”

Regarding his words, Hong Xiguan immediately educated the Japanese people to recognize the situation and said: "My southeast prefecture, now the Ryukyus is visiting for a friendly visit, and it occupies the Taiwan region, and the Ming Dynasty and Japan have maritime trade exchanges!" ”

One sentence made the Japanese people understand the situation: "It doesn't matter who we are, whether I am an official or a thief, we just strangle your neck!" ”

The Japanese people were naturally not convinced, and Hong Xiguan did not argue with them, but just smiled, with a hateful appearance of victory, which made the Japanese people want to take him down... Let his daughter be for nothing, so as to improve the bloodline of the Japanese people!

Such an excellent variety is worthy of the Ming people!

The Japanese people were short in race, and it was not uncommon for the Ming people to find the Ming people to improve their bloodlines.

Needless to say, the day's meeting was not an unhappy one.

Shimazu Tadashi didn't say anything, he smiled and asked Hong Xiguan to rest, listen to the echo, and instructed his subordinates to entertain the envoys of the Ming Dynasty and not to slack off!

After Hong Xiguan left, Shimazu Tadashi's face sank and said, "The Edo side has made a decision on how to deal with the Akito!" ”

The Japanese in the Ryukyus returned by fast boat to inform the Satsuma Domain of the arrival of the Akito, which in turn reported to the Edo Shogunate.

Everyone's faces became serious, and they listened quietly.

"Edo wants us to act on the opportunity!" Tadashi Shimazu told everyone.

It's not the same as saying it in vain, it's handled well, the Edo side has merit, and if it is not handled properly, the Satsuma clan has to take responsibility, and it's so smart, and the Japanese people who heard it cursed one after another.

This Edo shogunate is not a son of man!

It was clear that the Edo shogunate wanted to kill people with a sword, and Shimazu Tadashi knew that things were extremely tricky.

Agreeing to Mingren's request to return Goto and pay 300,000 taels of silver, then he didn't want to raise his head, but he was afraid that the catastrophe would not be far away.

Disobey his subordinates to come down, or the Edo shogunate put a crime on him: loss of power and humiliation of the country.

If you don't agree to Mingren's request, the other party's Hongmaofan plywood boat, with many guns, will run fast and fight, and the chances of victory will not be great!

Even if he wins the battle, Shimazu Tadashi still understands that the Ming people who visited the southeast province this time are strong and have the strength to fight again, and they are entangled, and it is the Satsuma clan that is unlucky.

If the party is defeated, it is exactly what the Edo shogunate wants.

Or is it "avoid"?

The thought flashed through him, and if the trade was blocked to the Ming people, the Edo side would still find an excuse to deal with the Satsuma Domain.

He was indignant in his heart: the original attack on Ryukyu was at the behest of Tokugawa Ieyasu, otherwise Ryukyu would be in the name of a "Great Ming", how could he dare to take the responsibility of provoking foreign provocations with a mere Satsuma domain!

Hit the child, and now the parents come to the door, and the Edo shogunate actually doesn't admit it!

After thinking about it, in fact, it was a short moment, he waved his hand and said: "It's all gone, Saigo Wakasugi and Takeshita Masahiro (another family elder) stay!" ”

……

"What do you two think we should do?" Tadashi Shimazu asked.

"It's a must!" The two elders said in unison, they are both old, they have experienced a lot of things, and they have plans.

Saigo Wakasugi said calmly: "If you cut the land and lose the silver without a fight, the Satsuma Domain will be closed!" ”

Masahiro Takeshita analyzed: "If our side wins, we will be in an advantageous position to negotiate with Akito, and if we are defeated...... We can also account for it. ”

He said quietly, and everyone nodded knowingly: "We have all been defeated, we have done our best, and we can't be blamed for anything else." ”

Since everyone is responsible, let's push it together!

There is no doubt that it will be hit, is it a real fight or a fake fight?

"Don't wonder, go all out!" Takeshita Masahiro saw Shimazu's hesitation.

"Okay, but what should you do if you want to deal with Mingren?" Tadashi Shimazu asked.

So the two elders each took a pen and paper, wrote on the palm of their left hand, and showed it together, and they all agreed: "Fire!" ”

Shimazu Tadashi said happily: "The hero sees the same thing!" If you can repeat the incident of the Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms, the two elders are my Zhuge Liang! ”

The affairs of the Three Kingdoms were mostly involved in the Japanese people, and even the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" (which appeared in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasty) was popular in the Japanese Kingdom, and there were many book chasers.

His eyes saw that the flag outside the pavilion was blowing to show the direction of the wind, and he muttered: "The place where the Ming fleet is anchored, the tide is not as good as the tide, and the wind direction is southeast, which is not conducive to fire attack, unless our ships move to the east of the Ming people......"

"I look at the celestial phenomena, and three days later a north wind will come!" Saigo Wakasugi is quite sure that it is authentic.

He lived here and paid attention to collecting all kinds of information: hydrological winds, changes in the stars, the arrival of birds, agricultural seasons, etc., and even the daily eruptions of the Sakurajima volcano were recorded.

Takeshita Masahiro smiled and said: "It seems that you have to build a seven-star altar and let you, Zhuge Liang, come to worship the wind!" ”

"It's just that Mingren asked for a reply within a day, what should I do?" Shimazu Tadatsune.

"I told the Edo side that it was not easy to decide, and they didn't reply yet, so I asked Akito for a week's grace!" Takeshita Masahiko came up with an idea.

So the plan was decided, and Shimazu Tadashi summoned the generals to prepare the oil and sulfur ships without mentioning it.

……

And it is said that the "cherry blossom house" where Hong Xi's official residence is in the city, it is the place where the Japanese people receive distinguished guests, which is full of cherry blossoms, it is the flowering period, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the red buds of the tree, the pale red petals, the pink stamens, like the sky full of clouds, a splendid!

The scenery is good, and Hong Xiguan is in a good mood.

Militarily, he is not worried at all, he has a great chance of winning, in case of defeat, as Yan Changwu said: "We are still young, there is still a chance!" ”

The Japanese people take care of him meticulously, the place where he lives is the scenic spot, he eats white rice, mutton and local sea specialties, and he is served by the beauties of the Japanese country!

The four maids were young and beautiful, and they served him meticulously... When he went to take a bath, they wanted to come along!

The thinking of the Japanese people is different, we require the heir to have his own bloodline, and the Japanese people can even have an adopted son without blood to ascend to the throne, those Japanese women want to keep the seed of Hong Xiguan, and be adopted as an adopted son by the leader, with the excellent blood of Hong Xiguan, in the future superior (very likely), have a chance to ascend the throne!

Ahh

It's a pity that Hong Xiguan knows discipline, he is an envoy, and he must not eat the enemy's sugar-coated shells. Eating the sugarcoat and throwing the cannonballs back is something the Overseers can do, but he can't do it so chic, so he has to "thank you"!

He replied to the Japanese and reported back by boat, and continued to wait.

Three days later, what was waiting for me was the rumbling of artillery from overseas!
