In Tsurumaru Castle, the residence of the Shimazu family governor, it has witnessed the glory of the Shimazu clan, but also their decline.

Shimazu Tadashi trembled and knelt in front of the conqueror from the Great Ming, his knees trembling and he almost fell. Zhang Haichuan, who was sitting in the middle, glanced at it and snorted in his nose.

"Shimazu, I heard that you would-be robbers don't like to cut their stomachs, don't losers have to be punished, why didn't you commit suicide?"

Zhang Haichuan asked lightly, but no one who was familiar with him would have any doubts, and the next moment he might stand up angrily and help Shimazu Tadashi commit suicide by caesarean section. To say that Zhang Ke is very murderous, at least Zhang Ke has to be charged with a reasonable crime, and then do it. For Zhang Haichuan, there is no need at all, Lao Tzu will kill you if you don't like your eyes, what can I do!

Shimazu sweated on his forehead, suddenly prostrate on the ground, and said the most level sentence in his life.

"The heavens are mighty, the kingdom is majestic, and the barbarian criminals dare not commit suicide!" After saying that, he slammed his head on the ground.

Too scared to commit suicide, so the Heavenly Empire is more terrible than death?

Zhang Haichuan was not the slightest dissatisfied, on the contrary, he laughed loudly, very comfortable, pointed at Shimazu Zhongheng and said: "Okay, very good, what you want is such a guy who is afraid of the Celestial Empire and is afraid of the bones." Those bullshit literati always talk about cultivating virtue, talking about internal affairs, and serving in four ways. That's, don't show your fists, don't stick your fangs out, don't hurt these scoundrels, who takes you seriously. ”

walked up to Shimazu Tadashi, kicked him on tiptoe, and said, "Get up." ”

"Hey."

Shimazu seemed to have been fished out of the water, and he bent over ninety degrees, even more obedient than his grandson.

At this time, Ming Ruxin sneered: "Shimazu Tadashi, it's been three days since I broke Tsurumaru Castle with the Heavenly Soldiers, it stands to reason that you can run to other feudal kingdoms to hide, and even go to ask for help from some bullshit general, but why did you stay around Kagoshima and try to gather the old department." Fight against the Celestial Empire? ”

Shimazu's face was bitter, if he could have escaped, he would have run away long ago.

"Lord Qiyu, sinners dare not leave."

"Why?"

"Because, because sinners have too many enemies, they all want sinners to die, and fall into their hands, which is more terrible than death."

So far, Shimazu Tadashi has not told nonsense. The Satsuma Domain was a powerful domain, and it was one of the largest feudal states in Japan. And because of the capture of the Ryukyus. Controlling the only trade route between China and Japan, the Satsuma clan amassed a great deal of wealth.

Not only did they have money, but they even got a lot of Western firearms through trade and learned Western knowledge. The equipment is also improving rapidly, and the Tokugawa shogunate also thought about killing the Satsuma Domain, but it was powerless, so it could only suppress it as much as possible.

Without the intervention of the Yiju soldiers, this situation would have continued. It was not until the Black Ship Incident that the gates of Japan were opened, and the powerful southwestern feudal clans, represented by the Satsuma Clan, accumulated enough strength to kill the Tokugawa shogunate. The Meiji Restoration led Japan down the path of sin......

"My lord, my Shimazu family used to fight against the Tokugawa family, and I controlled the sea trade routes. The other feudal kingdoms coveted each other for a long time, and if they knew that the Shimazu family had been defeated, they would surely fall into the ground. Shimazu said and pulled out a dagger. The surrounding guards thought that he was going to commit murder, and hurriedly raised the firecracker, Zhang Haichuan waved his hand calmly, but the soldiers did not relax at all, as long as he dared to make a move, it would definitely turn into a sieve immediately.

Shimazu raised his left hand high, and with a wave of the dagger, his little finger was cut off, blood gushed out, he gritted his teeth, endured severe pain, and kowtowed to Zhang Haichuan.

"I, Shimazu Tadashi, swear by the glory of the first rent of the past dynasties that I will be loyal to the Celestial Empire in this life, and I am willing to go to the soup for the Celestial Empire, and I will never give up!"

As he spoke, he tore off the clothes on his chest, tore off a white cloth, and wrote down the oath he had made with his own blood.

Zhang Haichuan's eyes lit up, if he was not interested, he didn't bother to take care of it, and just threw it into the sea to feed the sharks. Now that he met Shimazu Tadashi, he thought of taking him under his command and serving him.

Although Zhang Ke's letter used the method of agitation and made Zhang Haichuan angry, Zhang Ke mentioned in it that he would use razing to control razing, and Zhang Haichuan really listened to it. There are tens of millions of people in the Japanese country, and it will take how long it will take to kill them with firearms, not to mention that they also have to work for the Japanese people.

Shimazu Zhongheng is not stupid, he actually took the initiative to join, Zhang Haichuan was very happy.

"Someone, take him down and bandage the wound first."

Shimazu Tadashi was very grateful, and when he arrived at the military medical officer, a doctor who accompanied the army came to wash the wound first, then apply white powder, and then wrap it in gauze. The movement was clean and neat, and the medicine was quite effective, and after applying it, the bleeding quickly stopped. Shimazu Tadashi was flattered, and the Ming army was ready to use the best doctors and the most expensive medicinal materials to help him treat his injuries, which was really a great grace, and he was so moved that he almost cried.

After many years, Shimazu figured out that it was only the usual notoginseng powder that was used for him, and it was only an ordinary military doctor who bandaged it, which can only show that the medicine of the DPRK far exceeded the imagination of the Japanese.

Under some moves, Shimazu Tadashi completely attached himself to the Yizhou soldiers.

Zhang Haichuan immediately ordered him to regroup the Satsuma samurai who had fled to various places and form a force again. The armed forces of the Satsuma Domain combined, almost 10,000 people, and more than a quarter of the casualties in this battle, especially those middle and lower-level samurai died in large numbers, which made Shimazu's flesh ache. Those men were not only brave warriors, but also minor lords under his rule, the foundation of the vassal state.

Of course, the Ming army didn't care about 3721, and when Shimazu reorganized the men, they immediately arranged 300 Ming soldiers as instructors to be responsible for retraining Satsuma's armament. said that he was an instructor, but in fact he was the emperor, as long as Shimazu dared to have two hearts, the Ming army would immediately pinch him to death and replace him with a new puppet.

In fact, Shimazu didn't dare to have two hearts, and on the tenth day of taking the Satsuma Domain, other powerful feudal clans around him got the news one after another. They didn't even know that it was the Ming army that attacked the Satsuma Domain, but they only knew that the Satsuma Domain was defeated by a powerful force and disintegrated and annihilated.

These feudal states immediately gathered their forces and prepared to invade the Satsuma Domain and make a little money for it.

Just as everyone was actively preparing for battle, news also reached the Tokugawa shogunate in Edo, and it was Tokugawa Iemitsu, the grandson of Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was in charge at this time.

Since taking office as Shogun, Tokugawa Iemitsu promoted measures to close the country to the outside world and prevent ambitious feudal lords from colluding with foreign countries and threatening his rule, and gradually Japan stabilized and the authority of the shogunate became more and more secure, and he became satisfied.

Han people don't like to say that it is difficult to start a business and it is even more difficult to keep a business, but now he can be regarded as keeping the foundation of the Tokugawa family, and he can be regarded as quite successful.

On this day, Tokugawa Iemitsu had just returned from worshipping at the shrine, and the retainers hurriedly reported the situation to him.

"General Qiyu, has there been a change in the Satsuma Domain?"

"Has there been a change? Are they going to rebel? ”

The retainer hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, the little one can't figure out what's going on, I heard that there are heavenly soldiers and generals who have bulldozed the Satsuma Domain." ”

"Nonsense!" Tokugawa Iemitsu squeezed four words out of his teeth. (To be continued......)
