Chapter 961: How Is It Possible to Let Shimazu Go? (Ask for subscription)
Mitsuhisa Shimazu was stunned on the spot, unable to say a word with his mouth open!
If the Spaniards want to take the Ryukyu country, take it, anyway, the entrepot trade of the Ryukyu country has shrunk so much that they can't make money, and the stone height of the twelve stones is all empty, so don't do it.
However, this group of Catholics, who deserved to be burned to death, only robbed half of the Ryukyus...... He drove away the commercial overseers of the Ming faction in the Ryukyus, but left the Shimazu family and let them continue to hold the Ryukyu king hostage to rule.
"Great, isn't the Ming Dynasty the Celestial Empire? Isn't it very capable of fighting? Why did you drive them away? Shimazu Mitsuhisa couldn't accept this reality for a while, and asked again.
You still sighed: "Because the Ming Dynasty has no garrison in the Ryukyus, only a merchant hall and a small number of civil officials, they can't resist at all, so they can only flee." ”
"How can there be no garrison?" Mitsuhisa Shimazu still doesn't give up.
"Because, because someone didn't allow them to garrison."
"Who? Which bastard doesn't allow it? "Mitsuhisa Shimazu, that's a big fire! The Ming Dynasty is the suzerainty of the Ryukyus, and it is natural that it should be garrisoned!
"Lord, that person is not a bastard," Kiyoo cried and laughed, "because that person is you!" ”
"Me? I ......" Shimazu Mitsuhisa thought about it and found that this big bastard seemed to be really himself!
It was because he was worried that the Ming Dynasty would regain all the suzerainty of the Ryukyu Kingdom, so he did everything possible to prevent the Ming Dynasty from stationing troops in the Ryukyus.
And the Great Ming Dynasty didn't seem to care too much about the small country of Ryukyu, so it didn't send troops to Ryukyu, and the result was ...... Now it has become that Spain and the Satsuma clan share the Ryukyus.
How did the Satsuma clan explain to the shogunate?
The Spaniards drove away even the overseers of the Celestial Empire, so why didn't they drive out the people of the Satsuma Domain? The Satsuma Domain only has one or two hundred samurai in the Ryukyus, and can it still hold off the thousands of people in the Spanish fleet?
So this thing must be a bit boring...... The Satsuma clan must have colluded with the Spaniards!
If the Satsuma Domain was completely innocent in this Ryukyu Kingdom Rebellion, let alone the shogunate, even Shimazu Mitsuhisa himself didn't believe it!
"Qingxiong, is it ...... Could it be that there were people with ill intentions in the domain who colluded with the Spanish state? Shimazu Mitsuhisa's face was pale, and his voice trembled a little.
"The lord is wise!" You Yu Yu Kiyoo complimented, of course this is from the heart - the Shimazu family really does not have a dark king! Lord Gong Guangjiu is no exception, and he can see the essence of the matter at a glance.
There must have been ill-intentioned feudal priests and countrymen colluding with the Spaniards!
Shimazu Mitsuhisa, who knew that he was Mingjun, sighed: "These people are really hateful...... I can't see the general trend of the world at all! ”
"Lord...... The general trend of the world is changing! Kiyoo also seemed to be a scheming fellow, and he lowered his voice and said, "Isn't there any sign of decay in the current shogunate?"
First, Toyotomi reappeared in Japan, then the defeat of the Katai Island, then the coastal areas were harassed by the Spanish and Ming navies, and now the Ming Dynasty recognized His Majesty the Emperor as the Emperor of Japan...... Obviously, His Majesty the Emperor is the lord of Japan! ”
Shimazu Mitsuhisa whispered: "I just got the news that the shogunate is preparing to marry the Ming Emperor, and the Takako from the Aizu Domain will enter the harem of the Ming Emperor in the name of the daughter of the Daiyuin (Iemitsu)......"
"So what?" Qingxiong sneered, "If the princess of the Aizu family becomes the Empress of the Ming Dynasty, it may be worth boasting, but now she is just entering the palace, I'm afraid it is not even a side room, but it is just the plaything of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty."
In doing so, the shogunate actually brought humiliation upon itself, which further showed that the Ming Dynasty did not look down on the shogunate at all...... Moreover, does the lord think that the shogunate will let go of the Shimazu family because of our explanation? Before, they moved to the Shimazu family because the Ukita Hideya family escaped from Hachijojima, forcing you and the young master to live in seclusion! This time the Spaniards entered the Ryukyu Kingdom and it was even more difficult to explain, and who should the Shimazu family let live in seclusion? ”
Shimazu Mitsuna sighed for a long time, the current feudal lord of the Satsuma Domain, Shimazu Tsunaki, is still a child, and there is no inheritance, once he lives in seclusion, then who will be the seat of the feudal lord?
Also, will Shimazu Tsunamo's seclusion allow the shogunate to let the Shimazu family go?
"What do you mean by being a Spaniard?" Mitsuhisa Shimazu abruptly changed the subject.
The corners of your mouth hooked, and a smile appeared, "My lord, Admiral Garcia of the Spaniards said that he is willing to give us 36 6-pounder cannons, and he is also willing to provide us with 180 gunners...... Now that there are still tens of thousands of iron cannons left over from the troubled times of the Warring States period, if there are 36 more Spanish cannons and 180 Spanish gunners, do you still need to be afraid of the shogunate? Even if you can't take over the world, at least you can dominate Kyushu! ”
"But......" Shimazu Mitsuhisa pondered, "but the Tokugawa family is likely to have the support of the Ming Dynasty!" ”
"The Ming Dynasty has been defeated!" "The Dinghai anchorage of the Ming Dynasty's Oriental Fleet was attacked by the Spanish Navy and lost twelve large ships. Now the East Sea is already the world of the Spaniards.
Moreover, the lord thought that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty would be involved in the war in Japan because of a Tokugawa takako? With such a beauty as Takako, the Shimazu family can't find a beauty that can be dedicated to the emperor of the Celestial Empire?
Besides, if the Shimazu family only pursued the secession of Kyushu, would the Ming Emperor really oppose it? ”
Oh, yes! The Shimazu family didn't really want to raise the emperor to challenge the Ming Emperor's position as the suzerainty of the East Asian world, all the Shimazu family wanted was a small independent kingdom of Kyushu, and they would not offend the authority of the Ming Emperor.
Kiyoo said calmly: "My lord, the number one enemy of the Shimazu family will always be the Tokugawa shogunate!" Because of the existence of the Tokugawa shogunate, tens of thousands of samurai of the Satsuma Domain had no place to use and could only starve endlessly...... This is the greatest sorrow of the samurai!
My lord, please raise the banner of the emperor's fall! ”
......
"The Shimazu family really colluded with the Spaniards!"
"Mitsuhisa Shimazu, this big bastard, may have joined the Catholic ......"
"Shimazu Mitsuhisa must want to use the power of Spain and Catholicism to seize the world and turn Japan into a Catholic country!"
"Shimazu Mitsuhisa is a big rebel!"
"Mitsuhisa Shimazu is a national thief ......"
"I can't let Shimazu go!"
Edo Castle, between the Seven Treasures. Lao Zhong and the important ministers who assisted the shogunate, you say a word, I say, they are all shouting and shouting and killing, and the objects they want to kill are the Satsuma clan and the Shimazu family!
Of course, the Tokugawa shogunate couldn't let go of the Shimazu family!
Because the Satsuma clan of the Shimazu family was the strongest of all the daimyo and the farthest away from the center of the shogunate's rule!
The stupid prince Tokugawa Ietsuna also drove to the Seven Treasures today, and he was also a little nervous when he saw a group of old and important ministers clamoring for a crusade against Shimazu's heavy ministers.
He's just stupid, he's not stupid, and he knows that these uncles want to fight. But he didn't know whether to support or oppose, so he turned his attention to "someone else's child" Tokugawa Mitsukuni - that was the smart child who looked at the drooling of Ietsuna's father, Iemitsu! He must have known what to do?
Seeing the eyes of the princess, Guangguo coughed, and the Seven Treasures immediately fell silent.
Although Tokugawa Mitsukuni is not an old man, he has always accompanied the shogun and assisted the government with Hoshina Masaichi of the Aizu Domain, as if he was an old man above the middle.
Tokugawa Mitsukuni turned around and bowed to the shogun: "Princess, now is the time to ask the Imperial Court in the name of the shogunate, designate the Satsuma domain as an enemy of the court, and deprive Shimazu Tsunaki, Shimazu Mitsuhisa, and Shimazu Tsunahisa of all official positions!"
In addition, the shogunate should send Miss Takako to Nanjing immediately...... Chen personally sent Miss Gao Zi to Nanjing! ”
He paused, and then said, "Before the ministers return, the shogunate should not send troops first. ”
Tokugawa Ietsuna nodded, then looked at Masayuki Hoshina again.
Masayuki Hoshina thought for a moment and asked, "If, if hegemony in the East Asian seas is really seized by Spain, is it still necessary for us to provoke a war?" ”
Tokugawa Mitsukuni smiled, "We didn't provoke a war, but there is too much evidence that the Shimazu family colluded with the Spanish state and Catholicism...... It was the shogunate's duty to hold them accountable! In the end, it is not Shimazu's fault to find out the truth, of course, the official positions of the Shimazu family can be restored! ”
