Sakai Tadashi found out that Xu Junsheng was not there, and he was shocked, and his smiling face immediately became flat, .The most traffic-saving site for mobile phones and no ads.

With a wave of his hand, several samurai rushed into the inn, and after a few moments, they hurried out again. A samurai leader who was guarding the post house nodded in front of Sakai Tadashi and said a string of Japanese, probably because he didn't find the Ming general.

"Yaga!" After hearing this, Sakai Tadakatsu's face turned gloomy, and he slapped the samurai in the face, who didn't dare to cry out for pain, took a slap, and hurriedly bowed his head with his legs together.

Sakai Tadashi was angry in his heart, the shogunate pursued a procrastination, although it was a bit of a scoundrel who did not admit the account, but as long as the matter was delayed a little longer, and the cost of Ming Guo to solve the matter increased, the matter could be staked.

"Your Excellency, I don't know, where is General Xu going now? What would you like to do in Japan? Sakai Tadashi didn't pay any attention to the samurai, but turned his head to Wu Shizhao and said with a gloomy face.

"I have already explained this matter, and within three days, if the shogunate does not give an explanation and satisfactorily answer to the Satsuma Domain's attack on our mission, the Satsuma Domain will resolve the issue of the Satsuma Domain on its own. General Xu has returned to the ship! If the shogunate makes a decision now, it's still too late, and if it's one day later, our fleet will go straight to the Satsuma Domain! Wu Shizhao said with a star.

When Sakai Tadashi heard this, he felt tired for a while, the Tokugawa shogunate was pitted by the Shimazu family this time, not only was it not a person inside and out, but it would also sweep away its majesty.

The shogunate's help to deal with Satsuma would inevitably lead to accusations from other daimyo in the country, who had the central power of the country helping foreign nations to bully their own people.

Although Sakai Tadashi received the money from Shimazu Mitsuhisa, even if Shimazu Mitsuhisa did not send it, he, as one of the leaders of the Tokugawa shogunate, would definitely not approve of helping Ming to deal with the Shimazu clan.

If you don't help the Ming Dynasty and let the Ming Dynasty deal with the Shimazu clan on its own, it's not okay, as the central government, the vassals are attacked by others, but they don't take a stand, which is also an act of weakness.

The Tokugawa shogunate most wanted to turn this matter into a small matter, but the Shimazu family refused to admit the attack on the Ming mission, and the Ming side refused to give up, so there were problems with how the Tokugawa shogunate expressed its position.

Sakai Tadakatsu stood outside the post house with a gloomy face, and according to the words of the envoy of the Ming Kingdom, the general surnamed Xu had already returned to the ship, and if the shogunate did not reply, the Ming Kingdom would have to do it himself.

This can be said to be a threat to the shogunate, Sakai Tadashi was angry in his heart, the dignity of the shogunate was trampled on by the Ming country, he even wanted to simply stand on the side of the Shimazu clan and beat the Ming country's fleet first, but as the head of the shogunate, he couldn't do it so righteously.

"My shogunate will not make any response to this matter for the time being, since your country wants to solve it by itself, I will go to see how you can solve this dispute without the support of the shogunate." Sakai Tadashi suddenly dropped a sentence angrily, and turned around and left directly.

It was impossible for the shogunate to punish the Shimazu clan according to the will of the Ming Kingdom, so the delay could not be achieved, and there was no need to talk about it again.

Sakai Tadashi turned around and left, and said to the samurai who came up, "Shogunate の命令はなく、彼らを離れてはいけない!" ”

The samurai nodded, and hurriedly blocked the inn again.

Back at the shogunate office, Sakai Tadashi informed several bigwigs of the situation, and after Masayuki Hoshina learned about it, he was also very angry, "Ming Guo is so domineering, and he will not give up until he achieves his goal, so he can only let them fight against the Shimazu clan." ”

The shogunate bosses on both sides of the kneeling seats in the hall whispered and nodded one after another, feeling that this was the only way for now.

Sakai Tadashi was silent for a moment, and said angrily: "The Shimazu family has some strength in Kyushu, and the Ming Kingdom does not have the support of the shogunate, so it is too arrogant to want to deal with the Shimazu family alone." At present, the situation can no longer be stopped, and only if the Ming Kingdom touches the nail in Satsuma, will they be willing to turn around and talk to us again, and agree to make the big thing small. ”

Masayuki Hoshina bowed slightly, "You can immediately inform Satsuma of the movements of the Ming fleet, let him be prepared, if he can deal a heavy blow to the Ming fleet, the Ming Kingdom will inevitably find the shogunate again, and then we will talk about it, and the shogunate will be able to occupy the initiative." As for the mistakes made by the Shimazu clan, when this matter is over, the shogunate will settle accounts with them. ”

The oppression of the Ming Dynasty made the shogunate very unhappy, although the Ming Dynasty had a moral advantage, but Japan as a sovereign country, the shogunate also had the dignity of the shogunate.

Now that things can't be suppressed, the shogunate decided to deal with Satsuma by the Ming Dynasty, but in the eyes of the shogunate, Satsuma is a powerful feudal domain in Japan after all, and the Ming country has twenty ships, so he wants to go to Satsuma to discuss the law, obviously he will hit a big nail word, and then the Ming country will have to go back to the shogunate, and at that time, see if the envoy of the Ming country dares to throw any face at the shogunate.

A few days later, more than a dozen retainers knelt on both sides of the Satsuma Domain, Kagoshima Castle Honmaru, and Shimazu Mitsuhisa's living room.

"The shogunate has sent news that the fleet of the Ming Kingdom will kill Satsuma in the next few days." Shimazu Mitsuhisa glanced at everyone, and then said: "According to intelligence, there are a total of twenty ships in the Ming country, ten are the latest gunboats of the Ming country, and ten are the lucky ships that supply and transport troops, these ships are larger than ours, but the number is very limited. ”

Saying that, Shimazu Mitsuhisa looked at Shimazu Tadaro and the others, and then said: "According to the experience of the Battle of Korea, the advantage of Ming Bunes is artillery, so if we want to defeat Ming Bunes, we must fight in close combat. There are twenty Ming ships, and I, Satsuma, have one hundred and fifty warships, and if we swarm them, we will be able to defeat the Ming ships! ”

Satsuma is located at the southern tip of Japan, and China, the Ryukyus, Southeast Asia have close trade exchanges, and the maritime trade, has developed the fishing industry, so that the Satsuma Domain's naval army is the best in Japan, Shimazu Mitsuhisa is still more confident in defeating only 20 Ming warships.

Tagawa Nanazaemon as a member of the Zheng family, although he has been in Japan for many years and has not returned to China, but he also knows from various channels that China's naval army is developing rapidly, and even has driven Hongmaoyi out of the army, he immediately poured a basin of cold water and reminded: "Guarding Your Excellency, the warships of the Ming Dynasty are not only sharp artillery, but also extremely fast, and the Satsuma Navy's naval forces want to fight in close combat, I am afraid it is not easy to get close to the gunboats of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Shimazu Mitsuhisa pondered slightly, but Shimazu Tadaro, who was sitting at the head of the left side, spoke: "Then the decisive battle in the Osumi Strait, where the sea area is relatively narrow, which can restrict the activities of the Ming ship and facilitate our engagement!" ”

The speed of the Ming army is fast, if it is on the sea, it is completely possible to take advantage of the range of artillery, coupled with the speed of the ship, like flying a kite to attack the Satsuma navy, and choose a narrow strait, you can limit the range of movement of the Ming army fleet.

Seeing this, Shimazu Mitsuhisa immediately pulled out the helper on his waist, then inserted it on the case, and said solemnly: "Gentlemen, the rise and fall of Satsuma, fight again!" ”

Many Satsuma samurai immediately pressed their hands on the thighs of the kneeling seat, lowered their heads, and solemnly promised, "Hey! ”

"Well, please!" Shimazu Mitsuhisa also lowered his head and said heavily.

After Xu Junsheng returned to the fleet, he explained his guess to Man Dazhuang and Yu Fangqi, and the fleet waited outside Sagami Bay for another three days, and Wu Shizhao really had no news.

If the Shimazu clan is compared to a disobedient child, then the whole incident can be described in this way, the Shimazu clan took advantage of the fact that the parent Tokugawa clan was not paying attention, beat the neighbor's child, and robbed the neighbor's things, and the neighbor is now looking for them, and the Tokugawa clan, as the bear parent of the bear child, can also protect the Shimazu clan. It's okay for your own children to beat yourself, but not for others.

Seeing that there was no news from Wu Shizhao at the appointed time, everyone already knew the attitude of the shogunate and was unwilling to teach the Shimazu clan a lesson, so the Ming army could only vent its own anger and go directly to the door, whipping the Shimazu clan to death, so that the Tokugawa shogunate regretted it.

At that moment, the fleet raised its sails and slaughtered the Satsuma Domain.
