Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't know how he got back to Ooku or how he fell asleep, but when he woke up in the morning, he smelled burnt again. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He was in an extremely bad mood from the beginning of the day, and his heart was depressed beyond measure, but seeing Kasuga's red, swollen and haggard face, thinking about her own son, his most powerful assistant Inaba Masakatsu, was still sick in bed, his heart was soft, and he was not angry.

It's just that he washed and changed his clothes under the waiter of the little surname, and came to the castle tower, at this time, the old Nakai Irotaka, Sakai Tadashi, and Doi Toshikatsu have been waiting for a long time.

As soon as Jiaguang sat down, several people bowed to him and asked him for peace, and the roar of artillery outside came, and as soon as they heard the sound, these people knew that the Broken Army Sailor was coming again.

Iemitsu immediately felt a splitting headache, he held his forehead and thought about it, "Doi Toshikatsu, you see that the Ming warships are stuck in Edo Bay like this, attacking Edo, it is a problem for the henchmen, you have a strategy to retreat from the enemy." ”

At this time, Jiaguang behaved like a general, even though the artillery of the Broken Army and Sailors outside was roaring, stimulating his heart, Jiaguang held back his anger and decided to discuss it before making a decision.

"General, last night the Navy Division had sent thirty Xiao Zao and ten Guan ships to raid the Ming people, but they couldn't get close, there were fast sea ships patrolling their periphery, and in the end they only came back less than ten." Doi Toshikatsu Fudo.

The news was received in the early morning, but Toshikatsu Doi, who was on duty, did not immediately inform Iemitsu, the general was very depressed last night, and finally slept peacefully, so he waited until today to report on his own initiative.

"It seems that the navy army is no longer able to help, for the sake of the plan 。。。。。" Amid the sound of artillery in the distance, a gong suddenly sounded in the Uchimaru, which was a message of misfire.

Jiaguang stopped talking depressedly, and what he said at this time was superfluous. Just wait.

After a while, the little surname came in to report that more than ten houses inside and outside were damaged, and now the fire is over, killing and injuring 17 people.

"My lord, don't go on like this. If the Ming warships don't bombard here, in a few days, Edo will be a white land, it's better ... Sakai Tadashi said this, and he fell silent.

"You can tell it as much as you drink." Iemitsu waved his hand impatiently.

"Your Royal Highness General, the minister didn't sleep well last night, and in the end there is only one way, can you talk to Minghe." Sakai Tadashi said in a low voice.

"You. What are you talking about," Iemitsu's eyes were red, and he shouted as he pointed at Sakai Tadashi.

"Your Royal Highness General, it was just a ploy for the head of my family to deign to form an alliance with the Takeda clan and the Oda clan, or even with the Toyotomi clan." Sakai Tadashi Fudo.

In fact, he was extremely disdainful in his heart, back then, the Qinghe Matsudaira clan almost knelt down and licked the Takeda family, the Oda family, or even the Oda family destroyed the Takeda family. Matsudaira Ieyasu is the biggest thug.

When Toyotomi dominated one side, the head of the family, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had changed his name at that time, also took the initiative to marry the Toyotomi Hideyoshi family. How forbearance, now it's just a peace, how big a thing, it's still too tender, the so-called time and that time, there is no forbearance of the then lord Tokugawa Ieyasu. How to wait until the world changed greatly, and the Tokugawa family took advantage of the situation.

"Your Royal Highness General, now the Ming people are not leaving, and they are bombarded like this every day, and my sailors are exhausted. The inability to fight back and drive away made the emperor and nobles and many daimyo see that they were afraid that they would have new thoughts in their hearts, which was not conducive to the stability of my family. Naotaka Ii agreed.

Even the eldest old Ii Naotaka agreed, which made Tokugawa Iemitsu hesitate, he was not a reckless man, he was just surging in blood and blood, and he had no time to think about it.

Now stabilize your mind, think about what the two said, indeed, now Edo Castle is afraid that there are 20,000 banners, but it is beyond the reach of the Ming warship, if the bombardment continues, Edo will be burned out, this bad thing spread all over the country, not to mention the various daimyo with different intentions, even the common people and lower-class samurai will also have a lot of dissatisfaction with the power of his Tokugawa family.

But since the defeat of the Tang Dynasty in the Baijiangkou War, Japan has never bowed to the western continent, even if Meng Yuan wanted to conquer Japan, it was also a big defeat, more than 30 years ago in the battle of Keicho Yuanlu, if it was not for Japan's sea crossing battle, the victory or defeat is unknown, even if it returned to Honshu, Japan did not bow to the Ming Dynasty, has been broken off diplomatic relations to this day.

If he bowed his head and signed an unfavorable treaty, Iemitsu could not imagine how his Tokugawa family would gain a foothold after the emperor and nobles of Kyoto and the daimyo samurai from all over the world found out.

"In this matter, you can use a secret contract, and you must not leave the slightest written contract." Doi Toshikatsu Fudo.

This is true, but the stakes are very high, Jiaguang is still bottomless, he stood up, pushed open the window to breathe, but he regretted it very much.

Because at a glance, he saw the hot iron ball bursting into Uchimaru with a whistling sound, and the appearance of Uchimaru's flag book and handymen being busy fighting the fire.

On the fifth floor of the castle tower, Edo is filled with gray and black smoke, and it is like a hellish scene, and this is the shogun's town of Edo, and it is one of the most powerful castles in the country.

Tokugawa Iemitsu was in a bad mood at once, and he looked at him blankly for a long time.

"Your Excellency, you must make a decision now, otherwise..." Tadashi Sakai kowtowed.

Otherwise, everyone knows what, and they are still afraid of national instability.

"In this way, I can only ask you to go to the Ming people battleship and see if you can turn the war into a jade silk." Speaking of this, Tokugawa Iemitsu's face was faintly red.

The three of them received their orders immediately, all three of them were highly qualified, and they had many experiences of spit on their own hands, and they really didn't care about the current affairs.

Everything is about achieving the goal first, and everything else is secondary, and the old head Tokugawa Ieyasu has done this a lot.

Sakai Tadashi immediately mobilized two small morning ships from the naval division after receiving the order, and risked the danger to move towards the Ming fleet, which was not easy, but once it was leaked, he would be scolded by the whole country, and the general might not be able to support him verbally, and he might even be forced to deal with him under pressure.

However, the heirs of the family will benefit from this, and the shogun will understand what kind of loyal servant Sakai Tadashi is, so Sakai Tadashi will not hesitate.

As for why he, the old man of the Tokugawa shogunate, is of course not a glorious thing, once it spreads, the harm is endless, and he can only go through it.

Three miles away from the Ming fleet, they were stopped by the Ming sailor patrol ship. was taken to the Yue Fei.

Along the way, Sakai Tadashi took a closer look at the Ming warships with reading eyes, and sure enough, as the navy said, the Ming warships were strong and sharp, and just looking at the battleships were much higher than the former battleships of the shogunate sailors.

Even before the shogunate was not damaged in battle, there were only five or six large ships. And there are dozens of warships of that size, and looking at the gun windows lining the sides of these warships, Sakai Tadashi can accept the defeat in the naval battle.

When he saw Yue Fei's majestic posture, he was even more shocked and speechless, how can such a huge ship be victorious, Xiang Jing Zhongsheng is also a bold and reckless person, such an opponent must not be defeated.

If Mukai Tadashi could hear it, he would definitely jump to his feet and scold. He was forced to fight, and as a general of the Navy, he knew the best about the power of the Ming people.

When boarding the Yue Fei, Sakai Tadashi and his two retinue were searched and examined by the Ming army, which made Sakai Tadashi feel extremely humiliated, but the people had to bow their heads under the eaves.

Li Hu watched Sakai Tadashi walk towards him from the side of the ship, and looked at him with a very familiar demeanor, well, an absolute officialdom. By the side of Lao Zhao, Li Hu had no less contact with some superiors. There can be no mistake.

"A certain is the Tokugawa retainer Sakai Tadashi, dare to ask the lord who is... Sakai Tadashi bowed slightly.

He brought an entourage that was a subordinate who was proficient in Chinese, of course, among the Japanese people, which made Li Hu extremely awkward to hear, but he understood it.

"Oh, it turned out to be the old man of the shogunate. Come and take a seat. Of course, Sakai Tadashi Li Hu knew that the Military Intelligence Department had already told him that the name of several daimyo elders of the shogunate, the lord of the Ueno Stable Bridge Domain, was Tokugawa Iemitsu's right-hand man.

"A certain is the commander of the Jeju Navy Division, Li Hu." Li Hu bowed his hand to Sakai Tadashi. It can be regarded as a formal introduction.

Sakai Tadashi thought about it and estimated that the position of Mukai Tadashi, that is, the general of the naval army, was an extremely important position, if the shogunate was still dominated by the infantry army, Mukai Tadasheng's position was very important, but it was not a very important general, the position of the Jeju Ming army general was probably extremely prominent, after all, Jeju was surrounded by water, and it was difficult to leave the sailors.

"Dare to ask Commander Li, since the beginning of the Keicho period, I have not committed any crimes with the Ming Dynasty, and I have no grudges with you and other Jeju Ming people, why did you and others attack Edo several times from the Battle of Iki Island to this attack on Edo, and where did you put our Japanese Emperor and the shogunate general."

The old guy is righteous and righteous as soon as he comes up, and Sakai Tadashi is a veteran at the negotiation table, and he has always taken the lead, and it is extremely important to occupy the so-called justice.

But Li Hu is not the bodyguard of the year, and his years of experience have involved the military intelligence and internal affairs of Korea and Japan, especially the intelligence of the Military Intelligence Department has introduced the details of the shogunate very clearly.

Of course, Li Hu couldn't let this old thing gain the upper hand.

"In the past, the name of Japan was canonized by my Tang Emperor, but you waited for Japan to proclaim yourself the emperor, and continued to harass the Ming Sea Frontier in a hundred years, you can put the Ming people in your eyes, and during the Qingchang period, Toyotomi Hideyoshi attacked the Ming vassal country Korea, and fought with the Ming Dynasty for several years, this is the grace of your emperor, Toyotomi Hideyoshi even shouted the words of coveting the Ming Dynasty,"

Li Hu listed the bad deeds of the Wa Kingdom one by one, don't talk about those nonsense,

"As for the Battle of Iki Island, it was your Wa Shogunate Naval Division who first attacked my Jeju Naval Division, and I am just waiting for self-defense."

Of course, the interpreter didn't dare to say Li Hu's original words one by one, it was really unpleasant to hear one by one, but Sakai Tadashi could see it from Li Hu's tone and face

"But it was you who first occupied the direct command of the Great General." Sakai Tadayo certainly won't give in easily.

"Hehe, may I ask Lord Sakai, but the Wa Kingdom settled and cultivated in Ezo, set up counties, and collected taxes." Li Hu asked with a smile.

"Uh," Sakai stumbled, he wanted to say yes, but thinking that the other party knew the details, he still didn't want to humiliate himself, "The Emperor's subordinate Matsumae Domain has been cultivating the Ezo land for more than a hundred years. It can also be regarded as a county administration. ”

"Haha, it's really a joke, the Matsumae Domain was designated by the shogunate as a daimyo with no income from the acreage, and that's how the prefecture was set up." Li Hu laughed, this special Japanese face is really thick.

Sakai Tadashi looked at Li Hu in surprise, this Jeju Ming is very familiar with Japan. (To be continued.) )
