In the post house, Ichiro Tanaka and Fu Tao sat opposite each other, and in front of them were scattered teapots and two cups.

Ichiro Tanaka replaced the wine with tea, and after drinking, he looked at Fu Tao and said, "Master Fu, is this the hospitality of your Ming people?" I came with a friendly, peaceful heart, but I was imprisoned here, what do you want to do with me? ”

Fu Tao is already thirty years old, and after years of training, he has long been calm enough, not to mention, he is full of confidence and is not moved at all.

Fu Tao held the teacup in his hand, his expression was flat, and said, "You should know that without my protection, you will either be in prison now, or you will already be in a different place." ”

Tanaka Ichiro frowned, looked at Fu Tao, and said expressionlessly: "Master Fu, let me reiterate again, I came with a friendly and peaceful heart, and please give me the courtesy that Daming deserves." ”

Fu Tao looked up at him and said, "Who is your master?" ”

By this time, Ichiro Tanaka's identity as a 'visitor to the shogunate' had been exposed. He looked awe-struck and said, "In our Wa Kingdom, there are hundreds of large and small feudal states, and since sixty years ago, after successive wars, the current Tokugawa Shogunate has basically ruled the entire Wa Kingdom. The Wa Kingdom is now roughly divided into three factions: the Tokugawa-den and the daimyo of his cronies, the many daimyo who followed the first head of the Tokugawa family, and the daimyo who were forced to surrender or were defeated. Our main hall is the defeated Daimyo, Date Hall once followed the Taiko to conquer the world, and his fame was great. But this generation of Tokugawa Hall used a lot of extremely shameless means to monitor, raise taxes, and even conscripted their wives and children to Edo as hostages......"

The situation of the Wa Kingdom is too complicated, with more than 200 large and small vassal states, and the network of relationships is intertwined and complex, making it difficult for outsiders to see clearly.

Even though Fu Tao had read some information and introductions, listening to Ichiro Tanaka's words, he was still a little confused, his expression did not move, and said, "Date ...... Is it the Mutsu Domain? ”

Ichiro Tanaka bowed slightly and said: "Before this, we had a secret agreement with Shimazu, Maeda, etc., but the Tokugawa family is powerful, and we have nothing to do, if we have the help of Daming, we will definitely be able to quickly reverse the situation in front of us." In Wa Province, most of the daimyo were dissatisfied with the Tokugawa Temple. ”

Fu Tao listened to his words, still felt foggy, and said, "How do you want me to help you?" ”

Tanaka Ichiro looked at Zhu Xu, his eyes were slightly solemn, and he bowed and said, "Master Fu, I know that your country's navy is heading north, we hope that the Ming Dynasty can exert enough pressure on the Tokugawa Palace, I believe that as long as the pressure of the Ming Dynasty is enough, the Tokugawa Hall will retreat and will truly surrender to the Ming, and there will definitely be no rebellion." ”

Fu Tao listened to Ichiro Tanaka's words, and his eyes were a little different.

The ambition of the Ming Dynasty to annex the Wa Kingdom is now known to passers-by, but this Tanaka Ichiro doesn't seem to care at all, and only hopes that the Ming Dynasty will put pressure on the Tokugawa shogunate?

What is their purpose? Aren't they worried?

"What do you want to do?" Fu Tao stared at Ichiro Tanaka's eyes and said lightly.

Tanaka Ichiro lowered his head, put his hands on his thighs, and said without hesitation: "You don't know, this generation of Tokugawa Hall is not as good as His Royal Highness Taiko, we are miserable, a nurse of Tokugawa Hall, even openly humiliated the emperor and forced the emperor to abdicate!" We need ...... Overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate! ”

Fu Tao had heard of these, silently picked up a cup of tea, put it to his mouth, felt that the tea was cold and put it down, and said lightly: "So, what good can I do?" The Tokugawa shogunate is very strong, and if you want to check and balance, I have to pay a lot of price? ”

Tanaka Ichiro quickly said: "Lord Fu, my country is narrow and poor, and nothing can be given to your country, but if we can succeed, we will definitely sincerely surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and the annual tribute will definitely satisfy the emperor of your country!" ”

Fu Tao's brows moved slightly, this Tanaka Ichiro's words are tantamount to fart, and the white-toothed man actually wants the Ming Dynasty to send troops to help them weaken the strength of the Tokugawa shogunate!

However, Fu Tao's face was calm as usual, and he said, "Hmm." Then I will reveal to you that my Ming fleet has indeed gone north, and it will soon reach Jeju, North Korea, and with a little repair, it will be able to block the Guanmen Strait and cut off the Tokugawa shogunate's support for Kyukoku Island. At the same time, the army will send troops to Ezo, and the thunder will attack, and when the time comes, the Tokugawa shogunate will not be able to take care of everything, and your opportunity will come. Although there are rumors among the people that the imperial court will send troops to the Japanese country, the imperial court has no intention of doing so, and this time I will send troops at your request, and I hope you will keep your promise. ”

Ichiro Tanaka listened to Fu Tao's words and looked up at him sharply, with a look of astonishment.

If it is said that the Ming Dynasty sent troops to close the Strait which they expected, then sending troops to Ezo was completely unexpected by them!

Ezo, in the northernmost part of the Wa Kingdom, that is, Hokkaido in later generations, is now mostly uncultivated, only a few people are human, the land is sparsely populated, materials are scarce, and far away from Edo, the previous wars have not been involved, so it has always been a vassal existence, and has little strength.

The most important thing is that the Mutsu Domain, where Date is located, is just south of Ezo, so it can be said that it is next to each other, just a distance from the sea!

Tanaka Ichiro's eyes flickered violently, he couldn't tell the truth of Fu Tao's words, and he couldn't guess the true intention of the transparent dynasty.

On the other side, the bewitching woman in the room was holding a comb and slowly combing her waist-length hair, listening to Fu Tao's voice outside, her hands were stunned, her face was cold, and her eyes were dark.

The strength of the Ming Dynasty, now they are very clear, not to mention the real results, even if they take a few exercises, they will be happy for a long time.

The Wa Kingdom is an island country with no depth, if the navy of the Ming Dynasty carries artillery to attack in a big way, how can they resist? The Mutsu Domain bears the brunt of it!

The woman's expression was indifferent, and she slowly combed it again, her movements getting slower and slower, and finally stopped, staring at the mirror, her brows twisted into Sichuan characters.

Ichiro Tanaka outside was even more so, he couldn't guess the intentions of the opaque people, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Fu Tao didn't give Tanaka Ichiro time to think, and said: "A young palace of the Tokugawa family has entered Beijing, I will go to see him later, what do you have to say to him, or, I will take you with me?" ”

Tanaka Ichiro's face changed slightly, and he immediately bowed down and said, "Please also ask Master Fu to keep it secret for us, we need more things, and we can't turn our faces with the Tokugawa Hall yet!" ”

Fu Tao smiled slightly and said, "Okay." My Ming fleet will go to sea in a short time, if you want to send a letter back, we can do it for you, in order to ensure that the military information does not leak, I hope you two do not go out of the post house or pass on the news at will. ”

Tanaka Ichiro's face changed, and he immediately bowed down and said, "Yes, the villain understands." ”
