On October 15, the day of the emperor Taiji and others was beheaded. When the people of Jingshi heard that they were going to behead Huang Taiji and others, Jingshi was really empty, and they all ran to watch. Under Zhu Youxiao's propaganda, the hatred of the Jurchens in the empire was very great, and they all wanted to drink their blood, eat their flesh, gnaw their bones, and sleep on their skin.

Huang Taiji and others walked all the way, although they were on the prisoner car, but they were still smashed by the angry people, their noses and faces were swollen, if it was not for the guards, Huang Taiji and others would have been stoned to death by the people on the road.

As soon as three o'clock in the afternoon arrived, Huang Taiji and the others were immediately beheaded. After the beheading, the head was sent to the soldiers who died in Liaodong and the innocent people who were killed by the Jurchens, but the body was discarded in the execution ground. Zhu Youxiao has already issued an order, and the body will be disposed of by the people after beheading.

The Later Jin Disaster has been in the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and there are not many people who have enmity with the Jurchens, and the purpose of many people is to rob Huang Taiji and others of their flesh and blood. As soon as the beheading was over, the flesh and blood of Huang Taiji and the others were snatched up.

"Your Majesty, Huang Taiji and the others have been beheaded, and their heads have been sent for sacrifice." Wang Liqian said.

"After the sacrifice is over, it is still all handed over to the people to deal with." Zhu Youxiao said.

"No. Your Majesty, what to do with the rest? Wang Liqian asked.

"According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, how is rebellion regulated?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"According to the law of the Ming Dynasty: the crime should be punished, the relatives over the age of 16 will be beheaded, the children under the age of 16 will be the meritorious slaves, and the female dependents will be admitted to the sect. It's just that His Majesty has abolished the Department of Teaching, and this lady doesn't know how to deal with it? Wang Liqian asked.

"All the men were given death, and all the women were sent to Lengzhou." Zhu Youxiao said.

"No."

……

On October 25, the Shimabara Uprising broke out in Toei. This is simply a godsend for Yan Siqi, under the shogunate's lockdown order, Yan Siqi is now struggling, he has always wanted to seize Kyushu, and then fight against the shogunate.

The rebel army was led by sixteen-year-old Shiro Amakusa, and the rebel army quickly occupied Shimabara and Amakusa, and their numbers expanded rapidly, and by December the rebel army had reached more than 30,000 people.

Seeing this, Yan Siqi immediately began to assemble troops from the Ryukyus, preparing to divide the troops into two routes, landing from Nagasaki and attacking Kumamoto Domain from Satsuma Domain.

In Kyushu, only four daimyo forces can compete with the Satsuma Domain, and the rest of the forces are simply vulnerable, among these four forces, the strongest are Kato Tadahiro of the Kumamoto Domain and Kuroda Tadashiyuki of the Fukuoka Domain, but after the death of Kuroda Nagamasa, the Fukuoka Domain broke out in the hands of Kuroda Tadashiyuki, and the strength is not as good as before, followed by Hosokawa Tadashiko of the Ogura Domain and Tanaka Tadamasa of Chikugo.

"The Shimabara Rebellion is a godsend for us, we can take the opportunity to seize the entire Kyushu, what do you think?" Yan Siqi asked.

"It's indeed an opportunity, but we still need the time, the shogunate will definitely send troops to suppress it, and the daimyo in Kyushu will definitely be required to send troops to suppress it, I think we have to wait and see what happens, if we don't make a move, it will be a thunderous blow, and the strength of the daimyo in Kyushu will be completely defeated." Zheng Zhilong suggested.

"Instead of sending troops to defeat the daimyo in Kyushu one by one, it is better to wait for the armies of each daimyo to gather, take advantage of their unpreparedness, and then send warships to block the connection between Kyushu and the shogunate. Only in this way will we be able to take Kyushu in one fell swoop, and if our army fights one by one, once the four feudal domains of Kumamoto, Fukuoka, Chikugo, and Ogura are united, it will be very difficult for our army to win. Wang Yingshen suggested.

"What General Wang said is extremely true, compared with the shogunate, our greatest advantage is the water division, our army's water division can easily block the entire Kyushu, to ensure that the armies of the other feudal domains of the shogunate cannot reach Kyushu, what we need to do is just destroy the strength of the other daimyo in Kyushu, so that we can easily seize Kyushu, this time the Shimabara Rebellion, we need to take advantage of the opportunity is here." Zheng Zhilong also said.

"Another important point is that we are immediately faced with how to stabilize the people's hearts after the unification of Kyushu, Kyushu has been plagued by natural disasters in recent years, and it is particularly important to provide relief to the people of other domains, and now the Satsuma Domain can barely support itself, and we simply have no extra food to help the people." Yan Siqi said.

"If it doesn't work, slaughter the city." Yang Tiansheng said disapprehantly.

"What Leader Yang said is also reasonable, but it can't be generalized, all the cities that resist will be slaughtered, so that the people who need relief can be reduced, and we can also raise food and grass for us, in short, it is to kill some people and entrap some people." Wang Yingshen said.

Yan Siqi thought for a while and said: "Just do what you say, control Kyushu, and the entire trade route will be opened, and any problem will be easy to talk about at that time." ”

……

After receiving the news of the Shimabara uprising, Zhu Youxiao immediately summoned the Dutch envoy, and he asked the Dutch not to interfere in the affairs of Dongying. Historically, the Dutch intervened in the Shimabara Rebellion and thus gained the friendship of the shogunate.

"Dongying is a vassal state of the Empire, and no foreign forces are allowed to interfere in Dongying's affairs, otherwise, any force will regard it as an enemy of the Empire." Zhu Youxiao warned.

……

After receiving the news of the Shimabara Uprising, the shogunate immediately sent Itakura Shigemasa as an envoy to Kyushu to suppress the rebels, and the Satsuma clan also supported the shogunate's army of 20,000 people. The army of the Satsuma clan was led by Zheng Zhilong.

After arriving in Kyushu, Itakura Shigemasa led his army to attack the rebel army twice, but both failed, especially the army of the Satsuma Domain.

After the two defeats of the shogunate, Yan Siqi realized that the opportunity was coming soon, and his army of 30,000 was ready to attack in the Ryukyus, and the sailors were also ready to cut off the connection between Kyushu and the other islands.

Zhu Youxiao is also very concerned about Kyushu at the moment, this battle is also very important to Zhu Youxiao, if Yan Siqi succeeds, then he will initially obtain the capital to compete with the shogunate, and Yan Siqi, a chess piece, can finally play the greatest role. But if it fails, Zhu Youxiao is considering whether to send troops directly into Dongying?

Directly sending troops into Dongying is a very cost-effective thing for Zhu Youxiao, in terms of weapons, the Ming Dynasty does not have an overwhelming advantage, if there is smokeless gunpowder now, Zhu Youxiao will not hesitate to send troops to attack Dongying. Moreover, in terms of logistics, this is also a very troublesome matter, there are too many military dispatches, and logistical support is a big problem, and if there are fewer military dispatches, it will not work at all.
