Tokugawa Hidetada knew that his navy was weak, and on the one hand, he sank a large number of civilian ships outside the river to prevent the landing of the Shikoku coalition forces, and on the other hand, he purchased a large number of Luzon cannons through Li Dan and Li Guosuke's father and son. Due to the neutral attitude of the Ming Dynasty, Li Guozhu was left and right in Honshu, and soon found Oda Nobunaga's eldest grandson, Oda Nobuyi, and then took him to Busan to form the Shogunate in exile. Yang Tiansheng, Chen Jinji and others secretly contacted the Oda retainers in various places, and bribed the feudal lords in Kyushu with a lot of money, asking them not to help each other in this coup.

In order to ensure the smooth implementation of his plan, Zhu Youxiao ordered Xiong Tingbi and Mao Wenlong in Busan to enter the first level of combat readiness and go to sea at any time to meet the Japanese fleet. Zheng Zhilong, Gan Hui and others led the armed ships of the Huayuan Trading Company into Edo, apparently asking Tokugawa Hidetada to ensure the interests of the Chinese, but in fact taking the opportunity to cut off his ties with Kyushu.

In the face of Zheng Zhilong's aggressiveness, Tokugawa Hidetada keenly smelled the strong smell of gunpowder, although he did not believe that the Ming Dynasty sailors would take the initiative to attack Japan, but he really needed the support of the Ming Dynasty when the war was imminent. At this time, the European coalition forces had already occupied Nagasaki, and with the assistance of foreigners, the Shimabara Rebellion intensified, and the Kishibutan daimyo Takayama Ukan and Naito Ruan of Shikoku Island publicly expressed their support for Oda Nobuyhiro as Sekihaku and demanded that he abdicate.

Faced with the dilemma of internal and external troubles, Tokugawa Hidetada decided to settle the inside first, and on the one hand, he curryed favor with Zheng Zhilong and other envoys of the Ming Dynasty, expressing his willingness to hand over those criminals who participated in the Luzon Massacre, set up a permanent concession in Nagasaki for the use of the Ming Dynasty, and bow to the Emperor of the Apocalypse; On the other hand, he actively dispatched troops to attack Shikoku's Takayama Ukan and Naito Ruan, wanting to stabilize the domestic situation in the shortest possible time, and then concentrate on dealing with the Shikoku Navy and Amakusa Shiro in Kyushu.

Tokugawa Hidetada had a good plan, but the shrewd Europeans did not want to miss this opportunity, and soon set out from Nagasaki and marched all the way to the sea outside the river. In the early days of the war, the Tokugawa shogunate's navy was quickly crushed due to the absolute superiority of the European galleons and naval artillery, but they relied on land support and had a higher recovery ability than the European coalition forces.

Seeing that both sides were showing a certain amount of fatigue, the English, who had always remained neutral like the Ming Dynasty, finally showed their hideous faces. Miura's son, Joseph, demanded that Tokugawa Hidetada sign a treaty recognizing England's trade monopoly, and in return he would persuade the British sailors entrenched in Nagasaki to join the Japanese side.

Although this treaty was a helpless move by the Tokugawa shogunate, it also indirectly hurt the interests of the Ming Dynasty, so Zheng Zhilong, Gan Hui and others were ordered to prevent the English from going north to King Qin, requiring them to recognize the status of the Ming Dynasty in accordance with the principle of equal interests. Seeing that the fat in his mouth was to be shared with others, Joseph didn't care about the diplomatic alliance between the two countries, and while cursing the Ming Dynasty as a greedy bandit, he ordered to open fire on Zheng Zhilong and them. Zheng Zhilong had been doing business for a long time, and it was naturally more than enough to deal with a yellow-mouthed child like Joseph, and after a short battle, the English sailors hurriedly fled back to Nagasaki to hide. Ganhui took advantage of the situation to blockade the sea outside the river and continued to prevent the Tokugawa shogunate from entering Shikoku to quell the rebellion.

Tokugawa Hidetada thought that with the reinforcement of England would change the situation of the war at sea, he did not expect that the Ming Dynasty would defeat it by only sending civilian armed forces, and he also obtained the same trade monopoly status as England according to his unrelenting request. Of course, the panicked Tokugawa Hidetada didn't know that Zheng Zhilong and Joseph were singing a double reed, in fact, the Ming Dynasty and England had already secretly discussed, and their plan was to watch the fire from the other side and reap the benefits.

With the help of the Ming Dynasty and England, the allied forces of Spain, the Netherlands, Portugal, and France instantly fell into an unfavorable situation, and they fled the battlefield one after another, returning to Nagasaki to discuss countermeasures. After losing the barrier on the sea, Takayama and Naito were soon defeated by Tokugawa Iemitsu, and finally fled to Nanjing with the help of Gan Hui.

Tokugawa Iemitsu's victory greatly boosted the morale of the shogunate army and relieved the pressure on Tokugawa Hidetada's two-front battle, and they soon joined forces and landed in Kyushu from Sasebo to the Shikoku Coalition entrenched in Nagasaki. In the face of the land offensive, there were serious differences among the European coalition forces, with the French, who had run out of ammunition and food, taking the lead in leaving Nagasaki, and the other three countries also scattered, planning to retreat from the Taiwan Strait to Southeast Asia.

Although these people did not reap the benefits of Japan, they were fortunately still alive, and with their armed forces, they could completely gain a foothold in the Philippines, Vietnam, Java, and Malaya, which was tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountains, and it would be a big trouble for the Ming Dynasty in the future.

After consulting with the Military Aircraft Department, Zhu Youxiao secretly ordered Taiwan's Yan Siqi, Xiong Wencan, and Jiang Dejing to fly the flag of the Japanese Murayama Fleet and disguise themselves as Japanese pirates entrenched in the South Seas to encircle and annihilate the Four-Nation Allied Forces one by one. At this time, the Ming army was at ease and well-equipped, while the Europeans were demoralized and ran out of ammunition and food, and a massacre with almost no suspense was staged in the Taiwan Strait, and finally all the caucasian people with evil intentions were driven into the crystal palace to report to the dragon kings.

With the fall of the Four-Nation Alliance, only England was left among the Western powers around the Ming Dynasty, and in order to deter Joseph, Nan Juyi specially took him to Ningbo to visit the East China Sea Fleet, and forced them to agree to assist the Ming Dynasty in its full conquest of Japan through coercion and inducement. At this time, the Tokugawa shogunate had just experienced a war of internal and external troubles, and was no longer able to resist the large-scale attack of the Ming Dynasty, so it sent Tokugawa Tadanaga to beg for peace.

When Tokugawa Tadanaga arrived in Beijing, he found that the Ming Emperor had already gone to Nanjing to supervise the war, and even brought the cabinet, the military aircraft department, the six ministries and other central yamen with him, and set up a temporary former enemy headquarters to personally take charge of this long-planned sunset operation.

There was no need to mobilize to fight against the Japanese invaders, and the coastal people sent their sons and wives to their husbands, donated money and materials, and enthusiastically joined the army. In addition, it was the Emperor of the Apocalypse who personally supervised the war, and the Ming Dynasty was even more hostile and morale was high. However, in view of Kublai Khan's lessons, in addition to uniting with the English, Zhu Youxiao also openly admitted that Oda Nobuyhiro was the only legitimate Kanbai in Japan, and constantly exposed the theft of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu, so as to weaken the mobilization ability of the Edo shogunate and break the will of the Japanese to resist.

This Toyotomi Hideyoshi was originally an ashigaru in Owari Province, but because he was appreciated by Oda Nobunaga and followed his side, he soon moved to the center of power. Unexpectedly, he was not grateful, but instead killed Oda Nobunaga after a coup d'état at Honnoji, and then installed Oda Nobutada as the new governor of the infant family. From then on, he monopolized power, seized the opportunity to eliminate dissidents, and eventually replaced the Oda family as the Sekihaku of Japan.

During his time in power, he always put military conquest in the first place, constantly cutting off the wings of the Oda family internally, and launching a war of aggression against Korea externally, causing untold suffering to the people at home. In addition, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was greedy for women on the surface, but secretly he was good at Longyang, and dozens of concubines in the harem failed to give birth to a boy and a half girl for him. This kind of scum is a well-dressed beast, and he does things absurdly, and he was soon stolen by Tokugawa Ieyasu.

This Tokugawa Ieyasu is not a good bird, he was originally a descendant of the Matsudaira family, and he did not hesitate to turn his back on his ancestors and change his surname to Tokugawa for the sake of glory and wealth. In his early years, he was forced to abandon his wife and children after losing on the battlefield, and later killed his original partner and sister-in-law who came to him in order to curry favor with the Oda family. After his position was secured, the soldiers bled and died on the front line, but he gave people a green hat in the back, and after the retainer Kamio Tadashi died in battle, he forced the Ah Cha Bureau to become a side room.

The other side room tea bureau, who was originally the wife of a blacksmith, was born poor but had a delicate appearance. Tokugawa Ieyasu coveted her beauty, ordered local officials to execute the blacksmith on fabricated charges, and designed a chance encounter with a tea bureau who was carrying his young daughter around to redress his grievances, and then sought an opportunity to take her for himself.

This is the ugly face of Japan's Guan Bai, which was quickly circulated in Kyushu Island after being fabricated by Li Dan and others, and their characters collapsed in time. In fact, after the change of Honnoji, Oda Nobunaga's body was not found, and those retainers were already suspicious. Now that Oda Nobuyhiro claims that his grandfather fled to the Ming Dynasty for refuge, coupled with the testimony of Takayama Youjin, Naito Ruan and other retainers, this lie is like a heavy punch, which has shaken the legal status of the Tokugawa shogunate.

In the face of public pressure from the government and the opposition, Tokugawa Hidetada and Tokugawa Iemitsu responded simply and rudely, mobilizing troops internally to hunt down and kill those Japanese people who had spread false rumors, and externally interrupting trade activities with the Ming Dynasty and England, and entering a state of complete seclusion. Although this move temporarily stabilized the rule of the Tokugawa family, it seriously harmed the interests of merchants, daimyos, and feudal lords, and they all asked to go to the Ming Dynasty to pay respects to Oda Nobunaga's mausoleum, and welcome his eldest grandson back to Edo to take over the post of Sekihaku.

At this time, Oda Nobuyhiro had been arranged by Zhu Youxiao to live temporarily in a royal palace in Nanjing, accompanied by fine wine and courtesans every day, and was domineering in the face of the retainers who came to defect, and even asked Nan Juyi and others to salute him, as if he had become Guan Bai and was on an equal footing with the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. His ugly face did not surprise Zhu Youxiao, this is a typical Japanese, when he asks for you, he will wag his tail like a dog and beg for mercy, and he will definitely take revenge on you when he succeeds.
