The sun has fully risen! The sun on the sea in winter shines on the warm body of the person, and the heart is the same.

Looking at the wreckage of the warship that was drifting away on the surface of the sea, but burning violently, I couldn't tell what it was. The people in this boat may have never known me for life, we have no grievances in the long days and no enemies in the near future, but at this moment we have become your mortal enemies. To put it bluntly, it's still for power and desire.

However, since you dare to chase and shoot, you should suffer such a result. Isn't it?

As we walked away, I had a bottle of plum wine brought from the cabin - it was my new favorite recently, and I lifted the bottle, uncorked it with a "thump", and took a few sips at the burning ship. In this situation, only wine is the best companion!

I exhaled from the bottom of my heart, although this trip to the Ming Dynasty solved the problem - a perfect solution, but I was very unhappy in my heart, I knew it was so...... I will still go back, after all, I have my own obligations, as for how others choose, that is someone else's business.

It was the afternoon of the third day when I arrived in Kagoshima, and after sending to the port, I headed straight for the newly established Shokai base.

With the strong support of the Shimazu family, our business base was built quickly. The building area of the store alone is about 10,000 square meters, and the whole body is made of solid cypress wood, with a height of about 3.5 meters on the first floor and about 3 meters on the second floor, and an observation platform on it.

From the perspective of Dongying, this stronghold can almost be regarded as a small "castle", but in terms of defense alone, it is very strong!

Of the six terminals in the port, three of which we have access to at any time, are also the most advanced and best-equipped, and it seems that Shimazu Yoshihisa really values cooperation with us.

Overall, I am satisfied with the progress of the construction of the Chamber's base. It seems that it is necessary to visit the Shimazu family's advisers, Shimazu Yoshihisa and his brothers.

This time I came back from the Ming Dynasty, and I brought a lot of specialties, especially - wine. Dongying's alcohol content is low, and it tastes very boring, so I loaded almost a cabin of bamboo leaves, burned knives, and brought more than a dozen jars to stuff donkeys! I just want to see how these ghostly generals can't find the way they look!

When we got to the bottom of the city, we were told that the door was soon closed, and we were allowed to enter the city. When we drove past the small castle tower, we arrived at Ichimaru, but there was a person waiting for us, and when I looked up, it was Shimazu years old.

"Hahahaha! Qilan, you're back so soon? Shimazu shouted enthusiastically.

"Exactly! It's not a big deal, even if it's solved, won't this come back to you for a drink? I also laughed and shouted: "I also brought good wine from the Ming Dynasty, let you have a good time today!" ”

Shimazu is a hero in wine, as I said earlier, every time there is a big banquet, he not only drinks well himself, beckons others to drink well, but also blocks wine for his brothers, and drinks from beginning to end every time! So when he heard the word wine, his eyes suddenly lit up and said: "Qilan!" Sure enough, you know me best! Let me see what wine you have brought with you? ”

I couldn't help but have a funny thought - I turned around and screamed, and the nine ghosts took out a jar of stuffy donkeys from the cabin, I took it with both hands, handed it to Shimazu Suijiu, and laughed: "Try this!" The people of the Ming Dynasty loved to drink this! ”

Shimazu saw the wine for a long time, but he was an anxious child, slapped the mud seal, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it deeply, and immediately he was conquered by the deep alcohol concentration of the stuffy donkey! He looked up to the sky and let out a long "ah", looked at me and laughed: "This wine is really strong!" Qilan, how many did you bring here? ”

I looked at him with a smile and hummed, "How many did you bring here?" Drink and see! ”

Shimazu was not convinced for a long time, and he took a sip of the jar! With a grunt, he looked up to the sky again and exclaimed, "It's so hot!" It's like a fire! ”

The servant next to him saw Shimazu stumbling under his feet, and his heart was suddenly shocked! He hurriedly came over and took the altar, and someone helped him to stand firm. The little surname holding the jar lowered his head and sniffed it, and immediately the flush spread all over his face!

I pointed at Shimazu and laughed, "How can this stuffy donkey drink like this?" Cool? ”

Shimazu squinted his eyes and shook his head, and was about to speak, but he heard a voice behind him: "What good wine?" Drunk for a long time? ”

But it was an unfamiliar voice, when I raised my eyes, it was a tall general, Shimazu looked back for a long time, and said with a smile: "Second brother, you come to taste this wine, it's quite enjoyable!" ”

Second brother? Among the four Shimazu brothers, the eldest brother is the family governor Shimazu Yoshihisa, the third is Shimazu Yoshihisa, the fourth Shimazu Iehisa, and the second is the first brave general on Kyushu Island and the spearman Shimazu Yoshihiro!

This Shimazu Yoshihiro is more than 1.75 meters tall, which is already a giant during the Warring States of Toei, where the average height is more than 1.4 meters! Wearing a kimono with red flowers on a black background, his head is combed with a samurai's common Tsukiyo bun, and his eyebrows are somewhat similar to his brothers, but the edges and corners are more distinct, especially the high nose bridge, showing his heroic and uninhibited character.

Walking up to us, Shimazu Yoshihisa still didn't forget to introduce us to us, and Shimazu Yoshihiro obviously knew it was me, so he gave me a samurai salute. However, I returned the salute according to the military general etiquette of the Ming Dynasty - this is also based on the identities of both parties, which is completely reasonable.

After each salute, Shimazu Yoshihiro beckoned us to go inside, and after a while, we came to the main hall of Ninomaru. Shimazu Yoshihisa was waiting for us in the main hall, and when he saw me coming, he bowed slightly and smiled: "Qilan is really like a gust of wind, go fast, come quickly!" ”

I also laughed and said, "That's not as immobile as Brother Yijiu!" It's really sitting on the Diaoyutai platform! ”

Shimazu Yoshihisa's eyes lit up and said: "Qilan is really a master of soldiers, and the exit is the art of war!" Impressive! ”

He said that this is not casually said, what I said is not as immobile as a mountain, but taken from "Sun Tzu's Art of War: Military Struggle" - "Therefore, it is as fast as the wind, its Xu is like a forest, the invasion is like a fire, and it is not moving like a mountain", in general, it can be summarized as the four-character mantra of "wind forest volcano", which refers to the four basic forms of marching and fighting.

It is rumored that during the Warring States period, Takeda Shingen, who had died of illness at this time, was known as the "No. 1 General of the Warring States" and was also known as the "No. 1 Warmaster of the Warring States", and after in-depth study of Sun Tzu's Art of War, he founded the so-called "Wind Forest Volcano" method of warfare.

Relying on this tactic, Takeda Shingen was in a position to fight for a while, and did not fall behind in the struggle with Uesugi Kenshin, Oda Nobunaga, Hojo Shiyasu and other heroes! Therefore, these few sentences of the art of war can be said to be very popular in Toei, not to mention the wise man Shimazu Yoshihisa!

I knelt down on the tatami mat across from him and bowed to him as a guest to his host, before smiling, "We don't have to say anything else if we continue to flatter each other like this!" ”

Yoshihiro Shimazu and Shimazu Yoshihisa, who were sitting on either side, laughed together. Shimazu pointed to the jar held by the little surname behind him and said, "Eldest brother, second brother, Qilan brought good wine from the Ming Dynasty!" I tasted it and it was intense! It's definitely a good wine! ”

Shimazu Yoshihisa sighed and smiled, "Really? I'll have to try it later! Now it's time to get down to business. ”

Hearing what he said, I nodded slightly, and said, "That's how it should be!" I don't know what happened during the time I left Dongying? ”

Shimazu Yoshihisa sighed, looked at me fixedly, and said, "Qilan, although I understand your determination to balance the world, I have to say that Shibata Katsuya is really not the material to fight for the world!" ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but "chuckle" in my heart! With Shimazu Yoshihisa's wisdom, he would never say such heavy words casually, so I adjusted my sitting posture to make myself more comfortable, and asked in a deep voice: "What's the situation, Brother Yoshihisa might as well say it directly!" ”

Shimazu Yoshihisa sighed again, and said regretfully: "Qilan, those actions you made before have deeply restrained Yuchai Hideyoshi's energy. Whether it was the reconstruction of the Kumano Navy or the harassment along the southern coast, it made Hideyoshi Hashiba embarrassed. Coupled with your various support for Shibata Katsuya openly and secretly, the situation is actually tilting towards Shibata Katsuya's side! ”

I nodded, "That's exactly how it should be!" But did something else happen? ”

Yoshihisa Shimazu stared at me and said, "Nobuo Oda died suddenly...... I don't know if this matter has anything to do with you, but I believe that it will definitely not be unrelated - of course, this is not the point, after his death, the direct line of the Oda family will be left with Oda Nobutaka and Oda Three Masters. ”

I nodded again and said, "Before I left, I made it very clear to Shibata Katsuie that I would solve Oda Nobuo's problem, but the other two must need his good protection!" Brother Yoshihisa, you are so serious, you can't be ......"

There was a sudden panic in my heart, it couldn't be that bad, would it? Shibata Katsuya isn't a fool after all, is he?

However, Shimazu Yoshihisa's words dispelled my last illusion, his voice was not loud, but I felt that my ear drums hurt: "Kailan, on the third day after you left, Oda Nobutaka suddenly sent a letter to Shibata Katsuie and Hashiba Hideyoshi, saying that the third master was critically ill, and by the time the letter was delivered, it was said that the third master had already passed away!" ”

I suddenly felt a nameless fire rising, gritted my teeth and said: "This damn deflated third actually killed his own nephew for the position of the governor!" Doesn't he understand that the Oda family is gone, and whoever is in charge of the house will not be able to escape the control of Hashiba Hideyoshi and Shibata Katsuie? ”

Shimazu Yoshihisa looked at me and said, "If Nobutaka is half as smart as Kailan, he would never do such a stupid thing!" But that's not all! ”

I shook my head and said with a wry smile: "If there is any other bad news, let's talk about it together!" I can take it! ”

Shimazu Yoshihisa also smiled bitterly: "Oda Nobutaka's letter went to Shibata Katsuya and Hashiba Hideyoshi, but it had a completely different effect. ”

I looked at the canopy and whispered, "Let me guess!" Shibata Katsuya has a good face, and he will definitely reply to the book to reprimand, but there is no follow-up; Yuchai Hideyoshi is resolute, is it a surprise attack on Fuqi City? Is Nobutaka Oda dead? ”

"No!" Shimazu Yoshihisa's voice was like an ice cave: "It's worse than dead - he surrendered to Hashiba Hideyoshi and officially fell into the hands of the Hashiba family!" ”

"Whew!" I closed my eyes and let out a long exhale, but I didn't know how to take it. It took so much effort to solve the problem of the heir of the Oda family before, and it was actually a pair of king bombs for the Shibata Katsu family! As a result, this brain-dead person had to break the order! What should I do? It's really mud that can't hold up the wall!

After thinking about it, I asked again, "What's going on over there at Takigawa Kazuki?" ”

Shimazu Yoshihisa smiled: "This is probably the only good thing - Takigawa Kazuki suddenly sent troops when Hashiba Hideyoshi attacked Oda Nobutaka, attacked the Ise region, and opened up the connection point with Shibata Katsuie's territory!" They are finally no longer echoing each other from afar, but are truly fighting together! ”

"Oh"! I exhaled a long breath again, but this time it was completely different from the last time, I felt a lot more relaxed, this is also a loss of the east, the harvest of mulberry, the loss of a dog, the picking up of a chicken, it is better than nothing!

Shimazu Yoshihisa looked at my reaction and suddenly smiled: "However, I am not worried that Shibata Katsuya will lose at all!" ”

I asked, "Why?" ”

Shimazu Yoshihisa smiled: "Because of you! ”

I laughed: "My strength is too weak!" ”

Shimazu Yoshihisa said categorically: "No! You don't have to be presumptuous! Believe in my vision, Qilan, you will definitely change history! ”

As he spoke, he leaned over slightly, and said more firmly: "It will be!" ”
