Chapter 518: The Great War Begins with a Rush of Artillery
In the eyes of others, Li Mi was also involuntary at this time, and the fate of the envoys was completely in the hands of Shimazu Yoshihiro.
However, Li Mi didn't think so, because he still had what Shimazu Yoshihiro wanted in his hands, and as long as it was valuable, it was impossible to die here, which was why he had the confidence to stay.
Shimazu Yoshihiro walked up to Li Mi and said to Li Mi: "What is Angel Li's plan?" ”
Li Mi was also light-hearted, and said with a smile: "I am an envoy of the Ming Dynasty, you are a civil war, I will not interfere, you fight your battle, I go back to my home, what else can I plan?" ”
Yoshihiro Shimazu burst out laughing, as if Lee had just told a joke.
"Doesn't Angel Li still see the situation clearly? At present, my two brothers have convinced the alliance that Konishi Yukinaga and Maeda Toshiya will not be in charge from now on! ”
Shimazu Yoshihiro, who was worried and anxious just now, is so high-spirited and confident at this time, and it is completely like two people, which is enough to see that Shimazu Yoshihisa and Shimazu are really talking about other families.
It's also a shame that Li Mi knows the reason, otherwise he would be helpless at this time, and it can be said that Li Mi single-handedly promoted the alliance, and Li Mi is not so passive.
"I am an envoy of the Ming Dynasty, I came here to negotiate peace, no matter which of you is the master of the house, it is the same, as long as you respect my heavenly kingdom as the suzerain, as long as you withdraw from the Korean Peninsula, you will naturally be able to do business well in the future......"
"Of course, Your Excellency Shimazu's Satsuma Domain has the advantage of coastal areas, and it is indeed the best candidate for trade, and it depends on whether the Satsuma samurai are really as invincible as the legend says."
It's easy to talk to smart people, but after this civil war, even if a new ruler is to be elected, such as Konishi Yukinaga and Maeda Toshiie, it is more likely than the Shimazu family.
At most, the Shimazu family only rolled back to the Satsuma Domain's one-third of an acre, and if they want to control more power, they need not only an army, but also influence!
And influence is not something that can be obtained in a short period of time, how many famous families, how many ups and downs, hundreds of years to accumulate, or have experienced the southern and northern wars, which makes people frightened, to have enough influence.
Of course, influence can't be cultivated in a short period of time, but it can be taken advantage of, for example, by borrowing the momentum of the Ming Kingdom!
As long as the Ming Kingdom supports the status of the Shimazu family and recognizes the Shimazu family as the agent of Japan, other families will have opinions and dare not oppose the Ming Kingdom, at least they do not have the arrogance of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, dare to cross the sea, and threaten to use Korea to conquer China!
After this war, Japan will inevitably lose its vitality and can only negotiate peace with the Ming Kingdom, and the peace negotiation will not only bring humiliation, but more benefits!
This is also why there are three conditions for peace with the Ming Kingdom, one of which is to resume business and trade between the two countries, and the other two, what canonized the king of Japan, and married the Ming princess to Japan, those are all false, only the resumption of trade with the Ming Dynasty is the real benefit!
Li Mi has hinted very clearly, as long as Shimazu can make Japan withdraw its troops, withdraw from Korea, and recognize the suzerainty status of the Ming Kingdom, the Satsuma Domain will be able to serve as a treaty port, so that the Shimazu family can obtain the most benefits!
Shimazu Yoshihiro is not Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Toyotomi Hideyoshi is Sekihaku, the prime minister of Japan, he needs to uphold the dignity of Japan, he needs to seek status for Japan.
But the Shimazu family is not, he doesn't need those vain things, the face of the country can't be taken care of by him, and he can't take care of it, but if he can give up these faces, and even use the face of the country that has nothing to do with him in exchange for the vital interests of the Shimazu family, why wouldn't he do it?
Li Mi knew that he would definitely be able to figure this out, so he just waited quietly, and Shimazu Yoshihiro really did not disappoint him, and after a while, he stretched out his hand and said to Li Mi: "A word is a certainty." ”
Li Mi didn't stretch out his hand, but just said to Shimazu Yoshihiro: "This kind of thing can't be maintained with a high-five, I'm not an emperor, just a messenger, whether it can be achieved depends mainly on the performance of His Excellency Shimazu." ”
Shimazu Yoshihiro was slightly stunned, also withdrew his palm, nodded and said: "Yes, Li Angel is a person who does great things, since you are so honest, I won't say more, my Satsuma Legion will give you an hour's time, whether you can escape back or not depends on your own ability." ”
Although Shimazu Yoshihiro said it severely, Li Mi did not panic, he thought about it and said to Shimazu Yoshihiro.
"I've always been a fair person, since His Excellency Shimazu has given me a wake-up call, I will also repay the favor and remind you, I will give you a night of time, and you can run as far as you can."
When Shimazu Yoshihiro heard this, he was also surprised, and then he laughed, thinking that Li Mi was scaring him, and Li Mi also smiled, just as a joke.
After Shimazu Yoshihiro stopped, Li Micai said to Shimazu Yoshihiro: "There is one more thing, Doctor Xu is my Ming person, this time I want to take him back to have a look, and I hope that His Excellency Shimazu will protect his family well." ”
Shimazu Yoshihiro was really a little surprised this time, because he knew that Xu Yi had some friendship with Li Mi, but he had always just thought that they were discussing medicine, and after Li Mi insisted on taking Xu Yi away, it was a bit suspicious!
However, Li Mi also hinted in his words that Xu Yihou's family is taken care of by you, Shimazu Yoshihiro, even if he is a hostage, there is no reason for him to abandon his wife and not come back.
Li Mi actually wanted to take Xu Yihou with him, after all, Daming is his hometown, as for his family, the situation will stabilize in the future, and he can take back to Daming.
However, Xu Yihou shook her head at this time and said: "I have been away from my hometown for too long, and there is nothing worth nostalgic about, I understand the kindness of Lord Li, maybe when I get old, I will return to my roots." ”
Hearing Xu Yihou's statement, Shimazu Yoshihiro was also ecstatic, because the Shimazu family had already regarded Xu Yihou as a family member, and if Xu Yihou followed Li Mi back, he would be disappointed.
And when Xu Yihou said this, he completely dispelled the suspicion between him and Li Mi, how could Shimazu Yoshihiro be unhappy?
When Li Mi heard this, his heart was also blocked, he didn't believe Xu Yihou's words, Xu Yihou was not a fugitive born in Japan like Shen Weijing, he had been practicing medicine for many years before he was taken captive to Japan, and his memory kept too many things about his homeland.
If there is no nostalgia, how can you take the life of a family to deliver the news?
However, Xu Yihou is a person full of wisdom, and when he said this, he naturally has his own opinions, and there may be some problems that Li Mi can't take into account, so Li Mi said naturally.
"Even so, it can be regarded as the official's own affection, Doctor Xu needs to know that no matter when, the door of the homeland will always be open for you."
Li Mi said this, also from the bottom of his heart, Xu Yihou's lips moved for a moment, but he didn't speak, but just hugged his fist politely towards Li Mi.
Shimazu Yoshihiro was overjoyed, and said to Li Mi: "If I were you, it would be best to leave quickly, half an hour is not very long, but the road is long." ”
Li Mi didn't say anything more, said goodbye to Shimazu Yoshihiro, and walked out with Zhen Mi, and Shimazu Yoshihiro was also generous and sent outside the gate.
Shimazu Yoshihiro was about to instruct the Satsuma samurai to escort Li Mi and the others away, but at this time, there was a lot of noise!
There was a faint whining wind in the distance, like a wandering ghost crying in a low voice, and everyone looked at the night sky in the north, but the dark night sky was like an abyss devouring soul.
Everyone is a person who has experienced life and death, and has an instinctive sense and intuition about the crisis, if only one person thinks so, it may be an illusion, but most people are looking up in unison, which is weird!
Li Mi knows the inside story very well, but I'm afraid that Li Rusong has launched an attack!
Sure enough, this thought had just crossed my heart, and a fire suddenly lit up in the night sky in the north!
The firelight was as dazzling as stardust exploding in the dark night, and then there was the whining of the wind, as if the air was quickly sucked into the ball of light, condensing infinite power, and then suddenly exploding!
After the ball of light exploded, a large explode exploded one after another on the northern horizon, and after a while, the earth-shattering explosion reached this side, and the ground under his feet shook like a wave!
"Get your people hidden! Fast! ”
"You! It's your people! It turns out that you have long wanted to send troops! There's nothing to talk about, right? Shimazu Yoshihiro grabbed Li Mi, pulled out the *, and put it on Li Mi's neck!
Zhen Mi guarded Li Mi, and when Shimazu Yoshihiro took out the knife, her short knife had already resisted Shimazu Yoshihiro's heart!
"Let him go!" Zhen Mi suddenly drank violently, but Shimazu Yoshihiro was bloodless, feeling the explosion like the power of heaven and earth, and the whole person seemed to be panicking in the face of the tall Thor!
Their old nest was the Satsuma Clan, and they were the first legion to use iron cannons, and they had a greater tolerance and recognition of new things than other families.
It is precisely because of this that he knows and understands the power of firearms better than other families, and Shimazu Yoshihiro can better understand how terrifying the firearms that appeared tonight are than those ignorant people!
Li Mi knocked on the blade of Shimazu Yoshihiro's knife and said calmly to him: "If you don't act, there won't be many of your people left!" ”
Shimazu Yoshihiro only came to his senses at this time, and ordered to go down, and the assembled Satsuma samurai looked for cover, while Shimazu Yoshihiro ran into the mansion with Xu Yihou.
Seeing that Li Mi and the others were still in place, Shimazu Yoshihiro was also anxious, and shouted at Li Mi: "Don't come in yet!" ”
Li Mi also knew that he couldn't leave at this time, so he could only follow Shimazu Yoshihiro to the depths of the mansion, it turned out that Shimazu Yoshihiro expected that sooner or later a battle would break out, and the cellar in the backyard would be expanded, and Mrs. Shimazu and her family members were all hidden in that cellar!
As soon as they hid inside, the artillery fire outside rumbled and swept the ground, and even if they were hiding in the cellar, they were constantly being shaken around as if they were being thrown into the drum of a washing machine, and their butts never stuck to the ground!
The children were so frightened that they could not even cry, and the women silently shed tears of horror, and even the most powerful Satsuma samurai shrank in the corner and shivered!
The earth was falling like dirt, and the whole cellar seemed to be on the verge of collapsing at any moment, and everyone held their breath as if thousands of giants were rushing across the ground above them!
Li Mi raised his head slightly, sniffed the smell of * diffusing from outside through the gap in the cellar door, seemed to be muttering to himself, and seemed to be speaking to Shimazu Yoshihiro.
"With such a weapon, who will meet with him?"
The rumbling cannon sound was like a giant spirit god striking the heart of the earth, and Shimazu Yoshihiro's soul was shocked, especially when he heard Li Mi's words.
