Night.

Shibukawa tossed and turned, unable to sleep, but not because he was in prison, but because his heart was full of resentment, fear, and unease.

He didn't think he was at fault, so he was very unhappy with his situation.

In Shibukawa Mitsuyori's view, the Ming army was invincible, and this has been confirmed by the blood of thousands of Satsuma samurai outside Kagoshima Castle.

Outside Kagoshima City, the long wind hunts, and the horses are singing and Xiaoxiao.

The Satsuma samurai took the cavalry as the pioneer and the infantry as the successor, launched a decisive charge, the left, center, and right three cavalry were like arrows from the string, attacking the Ming army with overwhelming momentum, this time Shimazu Motohisa dispatched all the main forces, vowing to drive the Ming army into the sea, and Shibukawa Mitsuyori on the command platform was also in high spirits, high-spirited, ready to enjoy this killing feast.

However, everything is just a flash in the pan.

The spearmen and shield soldiers of the Ming army retreated, the musketeers lined up, and then, the gunshots rang out!

A puff of black smoke appeared in front of the Ming army, and the smoke rose and swayed in the wind, looking from afar, like the ghosts of hell, laughing loudly at the Satsuma samurai, as if they were cheering for the harvest of so many souls at once.

The Satsuma samurai who rushed to the front immediately fell in a row, accompanied by screams, shouts, and weeping......

Then there was the sound of artillery, and the shells fell into the ranks of the infantry in the rear row, and the infantry immediately became disorganized.....

After that, the cavalry of the Ming army, although there were only a thousand men, became the last straw that crushed the Satsuma army......

This battle wiped out the souls of the Satsuma army, they kept fleeing, they kept fleeing, and on the way they heard that the army surrounded Dazaifu, Shimazu Motohisa and Shibukawa Mitsuyori immediately turned around and fled to Bungo. What the two didn't know was that there were not many Ming troops in Dazaifu at that time, and the mountain roads around Hakata Bay were rugged, and it was difficult to transport supplies, and Qu Neng himself had not even reached Dazaifu Castle.

After that, it is to smuggle the Bungo waterway, but it's a pity that Shimazu Motohisa is unlucky, alas......

"Whoa!"

Hearing the sound of chains, Shibukawa Mitsuyori immediately turned over, supported his body with his right hand, looked towards the door, and found that the jailer had opened the cell door and was saluting a cloaked man, and then the cloaked man waved his hand, and the jailer retreated.

In Shibukawa's puzzled gaze, the cloaked man walked in, sat on the bed, looked left and right, and then smiled: "Shibukawa, do you complain about me?" ”

"Ahh Your Excellency, this is ......."

"Be quiet," the cloaked man waved his hand, "you haven't answered me yet!" ”

"The villain doesn't dare to resign, the villain doesn't dare!"

"Hehe, don't dare, is that there is still a grudge?"

"......" Shibukawa Mitsuyori hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "There used to be some, but now there are none!" ”

"Shibukawa," the cloaked man pulled the cloak with his hand, and seemed a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice, "Do you think we can win the Ming Kingdom?" ”

"This, please forgive the little blunt," Shibukawa pondered for a while, shook his head, and said, "It's impossible to win, at most it's a tie." ”

"Tie? What do you mean by push? ”

"The small one has thought about three possibilities, one is that the Ming army retreats and our army recovers the three islands; the second is that our country loses Kyushu and Shikoku and forms a confrontation with the Ming State; The last one is that our country loses the entire Kansai and retreats to the east to confront the Ming Kingdom. ”

"And which one do you think is most likely?"

"The little one thinks," Shibukawa Mitsuyori gritted his teeth and arched his hand, "Please forgive the little one, the most likely is the third one." ”

"Well," said the cloaked man, after thinking for a moment, "what will happen if our country only protects the east?" ”

"This," Shibukawa Manyori thought for a while, and said: "It is impossible to defeat the Ming army head-on, and at that time, we can only wait for the opportunity!" ”

"What time are you waiting?"

"Wait for the time of the decline of the Ming Kingdom."

"Decline?"

"yes!"

"Oh, I see!"

......

After a long time, the cloaked man let out a sigh of relief, looked at Shibukawa Manlai fixedly, as if he had picked up a treasure, and smiled: "I really didn't expect Shibukawa to have such a talent, let you do Kyushu exploration, it's really a condescension!" ”

"The adults are too praised, but the small ones are just a little superficial!"

"Hehe," the cloaked man stood up, patted Shibukawa Mitsuyori on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "I have to wronged you during this time, and I can only let you out when the situation is clear." ”

The cloaked man glanced around and said, "This place is too simple, let them change you to a better place in a while, so that you can think about the future of our Yamato nation!" ”

"Lord Xie's cultivation, Shibukawa bowed to the end, and then died!"

"Well, you get up!"

The cloaked man helped Shibukawa Mitsuyori up, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Spo Yoshige took the initiative to ask for an order to send an envoy to Mingguo, what do you think?" ”

"Spoo?"

Shibukawa was stunned for a moment: "He took the initiative to ask for it?" How can it be? ”

"It's true, tomorrow he will leave for Kyushu."

"Oh, but along the way, he didn't tell me anything!"

"Really?" The cloaked man's body shook slightly: "It seems that there are some articles here!" ”

"Well," Shibukawa Mitsuyori suddenly remembered something, and said, "Since it is an envoy, what are the conditions?" ”

"There are five main articles:"

"1. Yizhi went to the Ming Kingdom as a hostage."

"Second, Iwami Silver Mountain is shared with me by the Ming Kingdom, and the annual output is equally shared."

"3. Compensate Ming Guo with 20 million taels of silver, to be paid in five years."

"Fourth, Kyushu will be returned to our country, but the Ming Kingdom will be allowed to garrison troops in Kagoshima, Hakata, and Nagasaki."

"Fifth, our country is committed to cracking down on piracy, but hopes that Ming will be able to provide technical assistance."

After the cloaked man finished speaking, Shibukawa Manyori lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said: "My lord has thought it very carefully, hostages and pirates should be able to satisfy the Ming Kingdom, but it is only 20 million taels of silver, I am afraid it will not satisfy the greed of the Ming Emperor." ”

"That's not okay?"

"The Ming Kingdom sent hundreds of thousands of troops across the sea, costing countless money and food every day, plus the rewards after the war, 20 million taels may not be enough."

"Oh," the cloaked man pondered for a moment, "it's okay, this can be discussed!" ”

"Well, Your Excellency is wise!"

......

"Good go, adults!"

Shibukawa kept bowing until the cloaked man walked around the corner, and then straightened up, and in the dim light, his face was cloudy, and his heart was uneven, and he had a premonition that there would be a great storm in the Wa Kingdom.

The original generation of the Spo clan was the eldest son of the Ashikaga Yasushi clan, but unfortunately his biological mother Hojo clan was not born in the mainstream bloodline, so he lost the inheritance of the Ashikaga clan, and later changed his name to the Spo clan because he owned Shiba County of Mutsu Province.

The main bases of the Spo clan were in Mutsu, Dewa, Echigo, and Owari, and if the Wa Kingdom lost Kansai, the Spo clan would become important, and the disadvantages of its vast territory would become its advantage.

Now that Si Bo Yi will live and die, if Si Po Yoshige has another case, there will inevitably be a dispute between the head of the Si Po clan, which must be very beneficial to the shogunate. This can be seen by Shibukawa Mitsuyori, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu can definitely see it, can't Spo Yoshishige see it? Isn't there anyone around him to remind him?

Ashikaga Yoshimochi went to Ming Province as a hostage, who would it be good for? There is no doubt that it is his younger brother - Ashikaga Yoshitsugu!

......

The next day, Shibukawa Mitsuyori was transferred to a better cell, but it was even more inaccessible!
