The big guys all listened quietly to Hattori Chizuru's narration, and as she narrated, everyone slowly understood the battle situation at that time, probably because Hattori Chizuru's description was very careful, and everyone almost felt as if they were involved.

The five-stage fire of the iron cannon, the cavalry with a dozen large short-handled iron cannons, and the soldiers who were not afraid of death.

Zhao Hongyu: These foreigners are indeed extraordinary.

As Hattori Chizuru finished speaking, the big guys fell silent for a while.

Except for the occasional chirping of crickets, there was only the sound of the wind passing through the forest.

After a long while, Hattori Chizuru continued, "These foreigners are very tough, and if we can get their help, I think we can get out of this situation completely." Besides, there is no possibility of reconciliation between these foreigners and the shogunate, so if you want to revive the Tokugawa family, it is a good choice for you to take refuge with these foreigners. ”

Finally, Chizuru Hattori said what she wanted to say the most.

Tokugawa Kayo was stunned for a moment, and then his apricot eyes widened to look at Hattori Chizuru, who was leaning over and kowtowing.

"Sister Chizuru, why do you want to say that."

Tokugawa Kayo was puzzled, and in her opinion, it was a bit unrealistic to take refuge in those foreigners based on these alone.

Besides, why should people accept them?

Even if there is no possibility of reconciliation between those foreigners and the shogunate, but in the future, when the shogunate's army arrives, will those foreigners continue to win?

Tokugawa Kayo didn't think that those foreigners would be able to win against the shogunate army.

Ishida Aido, who defeated Osaka Castle, and the 5,000 army under his command, I think there must be some unexpected factors in this.

Although the military strength of these foreigners is very strong, the soldiers are also fierce and tight.

But, after all, those foreigners have come from afar, and they are at a disadvantage in terms of supplies and whatever.

Therefore, they could not be opponents of the shogunate.

Even though Tokugawa Kayo was still young, she understood what the war was about.

Not to mention. These foreigners were still at war with the shogunate here in Japan.

Therefore, she is very optimistic about the future of foreigners.

It was precisely because of this that she wondered why Hattori Chizuru persuaded herself to join the foreigners who were already in danger and get some support from them to revive the Tokugawa family.

Chizuru Hattori straightened up and looked at Yoshiyo Tokugawa with a determined gaze.

"Miss, please trust Chizuru's judgment, those foreigners are very powerful. They are far from being their worst cards now, and I think they are stronger than what we see, and such people are worthy of our refuge. And Hideyuki Kikuchi inquired about something. I think it's very useful for us. ”

Then, at the suggestion of Hattori Chizuru, Hideyuki Kikuchi told Tokugawa Kayo and his companions everything he had heard, and at the same time retold the conversation between himself and the foreigner's young warrant as it was.

After listening to Kikuchi Hideyuki's retelling, Tokugawa Kayo fell into deep thought.

Alas!

She first sighed secretly in her heart, and then a lonely look appeared on her face.

In fact, although the little girl is already the most descendant of the Tokugawa family, she really doesn't have much interest in reviving the Tokugawa family in her conscience.

What she hopes most is to be an ordinary person. Live happily ever after.

Instead of living a day of fear like now, and being hunted down from time to time.

She's been living this upheaval and dangerous life since she can remember, and she's really tired of it.

It's just that. There was no way for her to get out of this life, because it was her fate.

Moreover, she could not leave Japan because she did not have such a channel. If only she could leave Japan. Maybe she'll have a chance to live the life she wants.

It's a pity, it's a pity, she can't help it.

Now it's good that those foreigners who shelled Osaka's commercial town appeared. All of a sudden, she gave hope to her companions.

Let them see the hope of reviving the Tokugawa family, then she is now even more and more distant from the life of ordinary people.

However, thinking of this, she shook her head and threw these thoughts out of her mind.

She knew that her idea was very unrealistic in the eyes of her peers.

She is the heir of the Tokugawa family, and the only one left now.

These companions surrounded him, sacrificed a lot for themselves to protect themselves, and shed their blood for the revival of the Tokugawa family.

They have their strong beliefs.

If they dispel these beliefs, then what is their goal in life?

She can't be so selfish, and she has to cheer up for the sake of these companions anyway.

"Kikuchi, you've been in contact with those foreigners, do you think they can be trusted? Don't make the same thing as Zheng Zhilong that time, it won't be good. ”

I heard that Kikuchi had contact with those foreigners, so Tokugawa Kayo asked.

However, she also expressed her worries later.

What Tokugawa Kayo said about 'that time Zheng Zhilong' is not casual nonsense, there is a big reason for this.

When Tokugawa Kayo mentioned this, the companions around him looked abrupt and became serious.

Even Hattori Chizuru had a small face and became cold.

It turned out that Tokugawa Kayo had an older brother a few years ago, but this brother was killed by Zheng Zhilong.

At the beginning, Tokugawa Kayo had not yet become the backbone of this group, and the leader at that time was Tokugawa Kayo's brother.

At that time, in fact, their life was already starting to be very difficult.

The encirclement and suppression of the shogunate made it difficult for them to live.

Many of his companions died during that period.

In order to leave a way for everyone to live, and to leave a hope for the Tokugawa family, Tokugawa Kayo's brother decided to leave Japan at that time.

He believed that as long as they left Japan, they could stay away from right and wrong, and away from the encirclement and suppression of the shogunate.

After some deliberations, he felt that he should use the pirate Zheng Zhilong to achieve the goal of leaving Japan.

The reason why I chose Zheng Zhilong was not Li Xiang. At that time, Tokugawa Kayo's elder brother had his considerations.

First of all, Li Xiang had a good relationship with the shogunate, so it was absolutely impossible for Li Xiang to help these losers by risking a breakdown of relations with the shogunate.

If he recklessly found Li Xiang, it is estimated that Li Xiang would definitely catch them and give them to the shogunate.

What's more, Li Xiang's lair is here in Japan, which makes it even more unlikely that he will have a relationship with the shogunate.

It was precisely with this situation in mind that he chose to contact Zheng Zhilong, who had nothing to do with Japan, hoping to go to live in the Ming Dynasty through him.

But I can't think of anything. Li Xiang used Tokugawa Yoshiyo's brother as a favor and gave him to the Ishida Shogunate and got involved with the Ishida Shogunate.

It turned out that Zheng Zhilong had already started the idea of fighting the Japanese side, but he didn't have a chance.

Now that there is such an opportunity to send it to the door, how could Zheng Zhilong not seize it.

At that time, the Tokugawa family was already shouting and beating, and there was no strength left.

Offending such a person is not a big deal for Zheng Zhilong.

This kind of thing caused a lot of losses to the Tokugawa family at that time, and many loyal samurai and ninjas died at that time.

If it weren't for Tokugawa Kayo's luck. I don't think she'll be caught again and sent to the Edo shogunate to be beheaded.

From that time on, they experienced the betrayal of the daimyo merchants and the conspiracy of the Koreans. The conspiracy of the various daimyos...... It was precisely because of these events that the rest of the Tokugawa people realized that everyone in the world could not believe it.

Therefore, Tokugawa Kayo is wary of Zhao Hongyu. That's normal, too.

What's more, now there is no contact between the two of them, but Kikuchi Hideyuki has had some contact with each other. There's no way to reassure Tokugawa Kayo.

"Miss, the other party can believe it completely. At the very least, if we say that we want to leave Japan on the other side's warship, it will be easy. ”

Hideyuki Kikuchi said to Tokugawa Kayo.

"I don't know why you trust each other so much, but your feelings have always been accurate. So what does the other side say? ”

Tokugawa Kayo also knew that the situation they were in now, and she really had no choice but to do so.

It can be said that these foreigners are the lifesaver for them, of course, a bad one can also be poison.

But in any case, you have to be bold enough to give it a try.

Otherwise, there is only a dead end waiting for them.

"Our subordinates revealed our identity to them, telling them that we were members of the Tokugawa clan who were rebelling against the shogunate."

Hideyuki Kikuchi said that he had revealed his identity at that time.

"Did the other party react in any way?"

"There was no reaction, after all, they were all foreigners. However, when he heard that we were the shogunate's rivals, the crown prince seemed to be a little interested. ”

Hideyuki Kikuchi recalled Zhao Hongyu's reaction at that time and described it little by little.

"Just slightly interested?" , Tokugawa Kayo frowned slightly, she knew that the other party might not be interested in her people, after all, they couldn't give those people actual benefits.

"I heard the other party's self-talk, as if the other party intends to support a powerful force here in the Wa country to fight against the shogunate, and their current choice is a guy from a fisherman's background, I think this is a chance for you, Miss."

Kikuchi broke out a fierce news at this time.

What, the other party wants to support a powerful force in Japan and come to work against the Ishida shogunate!

When Tokugawa Kayo heard Hideyuki Kikuchi say this, she couldn't calm down anymore. (To be continued......)
