"How can a bandit like Mongolia be compared to our Han!" He unconsciously raised his voice, "At that time, the Mongols took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to enter the Central Plains, they only knew about burning, killing and looting, where did they know what kind of water warfare? Their army was also not in unison, and the situation collapsed as soon as the situation was unfavorable. My dynasty is different, our navy is unparalleled in the world, even the Westerners' sea ships can only avoid our warships, as long as we want to fight, cross by sea, no one in the shogunate can stop it, with the shogunate's current strength in Kyushu, as long as there is the cooperation of the feudal lord, we can seize the entire Kyushu Island easily! ”

He boasted about the strength of the Han navy, and Akari said that the shogunate could not stop Shimazu Tadashi from emboldening him, but in fact he was secretly threatening him, telling him that the Han did not rely on his cooperation, and urging him to make up his mind as soon as possible.

"Furthermore, the Kamakura shogunate was able to withstand the Mongol attack to a large extent by luck." Seeing that Shimazu Tadashi still didn't speak, Zhou Pu continued, "At that time, the Mongols didn't understand the seasons at sea at all, and they encountered two typhoons, which resulted in the fleet and transport ships being buried in the belly of the fish, and the expeditionary army became a lone army, so the army was disheartened and lost its fighting spirit in front of the shogunate army, and the whole army was destroyed. Now with the strength of the Han Navy, it is possible to choose a good time to attack, can this kind of luck come again? ”

Shimazu's white beard trembled slightly.

He is the lord of the Satsuma domain, and he can be regarded as having seen the world, and he knows the power of the Han Navy. How arrogant the Dutch and Spaniards were at sea back then, as a result, they can only restrain their edge in front of the Han Navy now, and honestly trade with the Han and Japan, which shows the strength of the Han Navy.

"If there is full support from the Han Navy, we can indeed seize the shogunate's reaction and occupy Kyushu." He acknowledged this fact, but quickly changed his words, "However, the shogunate owns the whole of Japan, not just one island in Kyushu, and after taking Kyushu Island, the shogunate can gather the entire Japanese army and come to fight you again, will you be able to win at that time?" I know that your Han army can fight well, but Japan is Japan, and you crossed the sea to fight, how different is it from the Mongols? Your Han army is not guaranteed to defeat the Samurai of Mikawa! ”

His expression was very serious, and his tone was very unkind, and he was obviously a little skeptical that the Great Han would be able to finally defeat the shogunate.

Zhou Pu was silent at first, and after listening quietly, he suddenly raised his head and laughed.

This sudden laughter made Shimazu Tadashi a little stunned, and he frowned and looked at Zhou Pu, not understanding what kind of madness this big man's envoy was all of a sudden.

In fact, Zhou Pu himself didn't know what he was laughing at, he just learned from his strategists from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms commentary, it is said that laughter can take the lead and give others a very confident impression.

"The feudal lord is wrong! How many years have our Han army fought in the north and south, how many territories have been conquered, how many enemies have been defeated, and the weapons used by the Han army are also very sophisticated, where can the shogunate army be able to fight? Besides, did the Tokugawa family rely on the Mikawa samurai to fight any beautiful battles back then? The Samurai of Mikawa are really so powerful, how could Tokugawa Ieyasu be forced to commit suicide under Osaka Castle? Besides, for so many years, the shogunate has not paid attention to military equipment, so where are the three rivers samurai now? It's just a few Edo kids who spend a lot of time drinking! Relying on these Edo children who only know how to eat, drink and have fun, can they fight against the army of our great Han? ”

Zhou Pu laughed as he spoke, looking very disdainful of the shogunate's military power, while Shimazu Tadashi was silent, vaguely as if he agreed with him.

At the time of the conquest of Japan, the Tokugawa family was not known for its strong force, and it did not have any particularly beautiful performances in the war, so there were always many powerful daimyo who were not convinced. Tokugawa Ieyasu took advantage of the violent death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, broke with other colleagues and stole Japanese power, but suffered great losses during the two expeditions to Osaka, and there is even a legend that he almost committed suicide by disembowelment before the enemy attacked all the way to the main camp during the second expedition to Osaka Castle, although this legend does not know whether it is true or false, but this legend can spread and indeed proves that there have always been people who disobey him.

It has been decades since the shogunate seized power in Japan, and after many years of peace, the original armament began to relax, and the shogunate's organs and most of the officers lived in the bustling city of Edo, and soon became impregnated with the habit of idleness. It was because of doubts about the shogunate's combat effectiveness that the Shimazu family had the courage to respond to the temptation of the Great Han.

Shimazu Tadashi followed Konishi Yukinaga and his father Shimazu Yoshihiro to conquer Goryeo, and the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty at that time also fought, and when the Battle of Sekigahara was surrounded by the Tokugawa army, he followed his father to directly break through the Tokugawa army formation, and escaped safely from the Sekigahara battlefield.

"Even if the shogunate army is no longer as good as it was back then, but the Han is an expedition after all, and there is still no certainty of victory." Perhaps for the sake of face, Shimazu Tadashi still remained skeptical, but the tone has eased a lot.

"Although the shogunate was powerful and ruled the whole of Japan, how could the national strength be compared to that of the Great Han? The size of the Han Dynasty is dozens of times that of Japan, and the population and financial resources are far inferior to the shogunate. Zhou Pu continued, "The feudal lord also went to Goryeo back then and fought with the Ming army, and the feudal lord would not know how strong the Ming border army was at that time, but it was such a powerful Ming border army, and it was definitely not an opponent when it met the Han army, so when the Han army was pressurized, was the feudal lord still afraid that he would not be able to defeat the shogunate army?" ”

After all, Shimazu Tadashi is far away in Japan, he doesn't know the specific details, he only knows that when he faced the Ming border army, he could fight very hard, and he was repeatedly disgraced, since he can change the dynasty, the Han army will definitely be more elite than these border troops, where did he know that the border army collapsed later, the most decaying and unbearable to see Jiannu flee in despair?

Shimazu Tadahiro thought to himself that as long as the Han army had the strength of the Ming border army back then, and then mobilized tens of thousands of troops, it should be enough to defeat the shogunate army.

In order to give Shimazu Tadashi confidence, Zhou Pu deliberately exaggerated the strength of the expeditionary force, saying as if the Han was going to devote the strength of the whole country to defeat the shogunate, and he also started from Shimazu Yoshihiro's personal experience, which added to the convincing power. He estimated that Shimazu Tadashi would not have imagined how strong the Han army was, and in order to avoid the other party from being shaken, he didn't plan to tell the other party the fact that the Han only transferred thousands of troops instead of attacking the country, no matter whether he deceived or threatened to send the Shimazu family to the Han warship, as long as he got on the warship and assisted the Han army to occupy Kyushu Island, was he still afraid that the Shimazu family would regret it at that time?

Shimazu Tadashi continued to ponder, Zhou Pu first waited for the other party to think about it, and after a while, he opened his mouth to urge.

"How has the feudal lord thought about it?"

At this moment, Shimazu Tadashi suddenly raised his head, and then looked at him with a very stiff expression.

"What do you want from Japan?"

"As the lord of all nations, the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty saw the shogunate bullying the Japanese monarch, and he was indignant, and wanted to restore discipline for your country, so that the rebellious ministers and thieves could get the end they deserved!" Zhou Pu was stunned for a moment and immediately replied.

"If you say something like that again, I'll have someone kill you." Shimazu Tadashi said coldly, he was not moved at all, and then looked at the retainer Togo Shigemata who was parked not far away on horseback.

He wouldn't believe that the emperor of the Han Dynasty decided to attack Japan for the righteousness of the monarch and the ministers, since the beginning of the Kamakura shogunate, and even from the beginning of the regency politics of the Fujiwara family, the emperor has been elevated for almost five or six hundred years, I don't know how many changes have passed in the middle, and I don't know how many dynasties have risen in Middle-earth, but these dynasties have not arisen except for the Mongols The idea of crusading against the Japanese rebels in order to defend the Tsunaki, although he doesn't know much about the emperor of the Han Dynasty, but judging from his deeds, No matter how you look at it, he is a rebellious minister and thief who has a different heart and then takes advantage of the situation, where does he have any love for Tsunamu?

Besides, if you want to talk about rebellious ministers and thieves, isn't the Shimazu family itself a rebellious retainers and thieves? If you want to say that he despises the court, he is also one.

"Don't be angry, I'm just saying it casually......" Seeing the other party's reaction, Zhou Pu also laughed, "Actually, my dynasty is angry that the shogunate has always disrespected our dynasty, and has repeatedly imposed restrictions on trade, which has greatly affected the interests of our country. The shogunate has been closed to the country, restricting trade between the two countries, bringing great trade losses to our country, and the shogunate's trade officials are greedy and tyrannical, which has also caused great losses to our merchants. ”

He looked at Shimazu Tadashi and found that the other party was still noncommittal, so he continued to add, "Other...... China has just changed the dynasty, and the world is still a little tired, so it is necessary to increase the introduction of some Japanese gold and silver to stabilize the people. ”
