Japan's Satsuma Domain, Kagoshima Castle, also known as Tsurumaru Castle, is the most data-saving and ad-free site for mobile phones.

Due to its geographical location, Japan has frequent volcanic earthquakes and frequent disasters, so there are few cities that surround hundreds of thousands of inhabitants like China.

Japanese castles, like the castles of Western aristocracy, were only inhabited by nobles, among whom there were only nobles and soldiers, and there were no common people.

This was the case with Tsurumaru Castle, where only the Shimazu clan lived and a few retainers and samurai.

At this time, in Shimazu Mitsuhisa's room in Tsurumaru Castle, two crisp slaps came out.

Tagawa Nanazaemon took off his clogs and walked in, and saw Shimazu Tadharo with his head bowed, being reprimanded by Shimazu Mitsuhisa.

After the successful attack on the mission, Shimazu Tadaro thought that he had completed the mission, but when Qian Bingrup was captured from the cabin, the other party questioned his identity, and he knew that he had exposed the identity of the Shimazu clan, but at this time, he was in no hurry to chase after Xu Junsheng, who had escaped.

Shimazu Mitsuhisa had a "Yaga Yalu" expression on his face, and he was obviously very angry in his heart, "Shogunate は私に説明をさせて、私はどのように答えて、あなたはばか!" ”

After receiving the letter of state from the Ming Dynasty and the letter from Prince Chu, the Tokugawa family was naturally shocked, and immediately sent people to the Satsuma domain to inquire about it, and asked the Shimazu family to hand over the Ming envoy Qian Binglu, making the matter a big thing a small thing and a small matter.

In the era of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the elite soldiers of the Japanese feudal domains who had just finished fighting the Warring States period could be said to be thousands of years, and the most elite troops in Japan were all soldiers of a hundred battles.

This made Japan afraid of the Ming Dynasty, and the attack on the embassy was morally unjustifiable and unreasonable, so the Tokugawa family took the initiative to put pressure on the Shimazu clan, not wanting to make the relationship with the Ming Dynasty too hard, and wanted to make the big thing small and the small thing.

Seeing that Tazu Tadashiro's face was red, Tagawa Nanazaemon was obviously slapped a lot, pursed his lips, and said in a deep voice: "Protect Your Excellency, it is useless to be angry now, the key now is to think of ways to deal with it!" ”

Shimazu Mitsuhisa listened to Nanazaemon's words, his face gloomy, and he said a word of Japanese to Shimazu Tadaro, who hurriedly bent down and saluted, and then retreated.

"Your Excellency, please take a seat!" Shimazu Mitsuhisa sat down on the tatami mat with his waist straight, and he waited for Nanazaemon to sit down before he said with a hint of humility and apology: "I didn't expect things to go wrong, and now the Ming Kingdom has sent a letter to the Shogunate, and the Tokugawa family asked me to send the Ming State envoy to Edo." If the messenger is sent, the matter can be as if it never happened, and if it is really a big thing and a small matter, the Shimazu family will naturally return the messenger, but is it possible? ”

Without waiting for Nanzaemon to speak, Shimazu Mitsuhisa continued to speak: "Attacking the Ming envoy ship and killing more than 100 people in the mission, Ming will not be easy to calculate, and Ming Guo also mentioned the matter of Ryukyu this time." Acknowledging this, Satsuma does not matter if he loses the Ryukyus, but also compensates the Ming Kingdom, and the Tokugawa family will inevitably be dissatisfied with Satsuma and impose sanctions on Satsuma, and the Shimazu family will wither like cherry blossoms like the Ouchi clan and the Hojo family. ”

Shimazu Mitsuhisa said that he didn't want to admit the mission and wanted to fight, but compared to the Ming Kingdom and the Tokugawa shogunate, the strength of the Satsuma Domain was still too weak.

Hearing him say this, Nanazaemon pressed his hands on the thighs of the kneeling seat, and said in a deep voice, "How is Your Excellency Guardian going to deal with it!" ”

Shimazu Mitsuhisa raised his head, squinted his eyes, and looked at Nanazaemon, "This incident is not a secret for me Satsuma, but Your Excellency has promised me the Shimazu clan that Prince Tang and Prince Lu of the Ming Kingdom will prevent the Ming Kingdom from sending troops, I don't know if Your Excellency has brought me good news." If the Ming family does not send troops and the pressure on the Tokugawa family is not enough, I, the Shimazu clan, will not admit to the attack on the Ming mission, and it is expected that the Tokugawa family will eventually stop it. ”

Speaking of this, Shimazu Mitsuhisa pressed his hands on the thighs of the kneeling seat, his rigid face and head suddenly lowered heavily, and said solemnly, "Tagawa-kun, please convince the two highnesses to help Satsuma tide over the difficulties, please!" ”

Nanazaemon listened, but hurriedly bowed his head, gave Shimazu Mitsuhisa a salute, and accompanied him, "Your Excellency, I'm very sorry for this matter, because the identity of the Shimazu family has been exposed, and the two highnesses can't incite the minister to break off diplomatic relations with the shogunate, and the Ming court has decided to send troops!" ”

Shimazu Mitsujiu listened, his face was cold, seeing the attitude of Nanazaemon, they seemed to want to withdraw and sell the Shimazu family, he couldn't help but be a little flustered, but after a while, he straightened up again, and said in a cold voice: "This matter, it is Your Excellency who is in contact with it, and now there is such a change, although the responsibility lies with the Shimazu family, but Your Excellency, Prince Tang, and Prince Lu will not want to leave Satsuma alone!" The whole story of this matter, if it is transmitted back to the Ming Kingdom, I am afraid it will be very unfavorable to the two princes! ”

"Your Excellency, please understand, Da Ming is now the regent of Prince Chu, and the council has decided to send troops, and it is inconvenient for the two highnesses to directly participate in it, and they cannot stop it." Seeing that Shimazu Mitsu was unhappy for a long time, Nanazaemon lowered his head again and said, "But Your Excellency can rest assured that the two Highnesses will provide you with enough information, and did not respond to Prince Chu's order to transfer ships to the imperial court. ”

Shimazu Mitsuhisa's face is still gloomy, if the Ming Dynasty sends troops, the Tokugawa family will be under pressure, and the Shimazu clan will inevitably be sanctioned.

Nanazaemon saw that Shimazu Mitsuhisa did not speak, so he said: "Guarding Your Excellency, in fact, you don't have to worry too much, this time the Ming Dynasty did not dispatch a large army, but only dispatched ten gunboats, and it can't do anything about the Shimazu clan!" If the Shimazu family can withstand the pressure, this crisis may be able to be overcome! ”

"Ten gunboats!" Shimazu Mitsuhisa heard that there were only ten ships, and his heart was a little relaxed, he was afraid that the Ming Dynasty would send tens of thousands of people to fight him, Satsuma was only an external daimyo under the rule of the Tokugawa Shogunate, and if the Tokugawa Shogunate did not help, they would not be able to confront the Ming Kingdom.

Shimazu Mitsuhisa's eyes narrowed, "If Ming Guo only comes with ten ships, then I'm not very worried." ”

"These ten ships are the latest gunboats of the Ming Dynasty, and you can't ignore Your Excellency!" Nanazaemon reminded.

"No matter how powerful ten ships are, Satsuma is not afraid." At this time, Japan did not know that they were far behind the world in terms of navigation and warships, Shimazu Mitsuhisa did not think that ten warships were terrifying, he squinted his eyes and said: "If Tagawa-kun can guarantee that the Ming Dynasty will only send ten warships, then Satsuma only needs to worry that the shogunate is weak, and he will not be able to withstand the pressure of the Ming Kingdom, betray Satsuma, and even help the Ming Dynasty oppress Satsuma." ”

The Tokugawa family and Satsuma were close at hand, and if the shogunate helped the Ming Dynasty, the Shimazu clan would not be able to compete!

Nanazaemon bowed slightly, and after thinking, he said: "After all, Your Excellency is the daimyo of the shogunate, and the Tokugawa family represents Japan after all, and it is unlikely that the general will completely stand on the side of the Ming Dynasty to deal with Satsuma." If the shogunate helped the Ming Dynasty, you might be able to contact a few of the daimyo close to you and accuse the shogunate of being too soft on the Ming and betraying the interests of Japan. Of course, the premise of this matter is that Your Excellency needs to bite the bullet and attack the mission. ”

Shimazu Mitsuhisa had a calm face, nodded, and suddenly asked, "If the shogunate can withstand the pressure of the Ming Kingdom, will the Ming Kingdom and the Shogunate go to war?" Or will there be another increase in troops? ”

"Nope! Most of the ministers in the cabinet did not approve of a war with the shogunate, and besides, this matter was not done by the shogunate, so it would definitely not be able to fight! After thinking about it, Nanazaemon said: "Although the two highnesses can't stop the Ming Dynasty from sending troops, they can stop the situation from expanding, so there should be no problem!" ”

"In this case, please leave it to the two highnesses!" Shimazu Mitsuhisa lowered his head again, already paying attention in his heart, "I will contact a few guardians, and send out a voice hoping that the shogunate will treat Ming Guo hard and protect the interests of the country, and I will also send a batch of gold and silver to Masayuki Hoshina and the big man Sakai Tadakatsu, and ask them to speak for the Shimazu family, so that the shogunate can withstand the pressure of Ming Guo, and finally put this matter to rest." ”
