"I want to support a powerful force in Japan to fight against the shogunate!"

Kayo Tokugawa lost his voice.

It is understandable why she was so shocked, after all, in her opinion, Zhao Hongyu and these foreigners, if they are not crazy, then they should not come up with such thoughts now.

How many of them are there, and they actually want to support a powerful force here in Japan to fight against the shogunate that has already controlled Japan, and in her opinion, it is no different from looking for death.

After the shelling of Osaka Castle, the foreigners did not leave, but landed.

In the face of the attack of Osaka Castle, they also inflicted heavy losses.

But all this does not mean that they will be able to cope with the next troubles.

Unlike Osaka Castle, the shogunate represents the whole of Japan.

And the troops and materials it can use are also the power of a country.

Compared to the small corner of Osaka Castle, the shogunate was a behemoth.

Now that the Osaka army has been defeated, it will not be long before the news of their defeat reaches the shogunate. When the time comes, the shogunate, which has received the whole news, will definitely not be able to bear it, and will immediately send troops to come.

After all, the behavior of these foreigners simply did not take the shogunate or Japan into account.

What they are doing now is actually no different from declaring war on Japan.

In such a situation, these foreigners do not think about how to deal with it, but still have the leisure to support a local to fight against the shogunate, are they crazy?

At least, Tokugawa Kayo was a little confused.

"Miss, do you think these foreigners are crazy?"

After seeing Tokugawa Kayo's reaction, Hideyuki Kikuchi thought about it and asked.

Kayo Tokugawa nodded, indicating that he thought so.

"Miss, these foreigners are not ordinary people, and one of them is still the crown prince. And I've been in contact with them. These people were all members of the Imperial Guard who claimed to be the Song Empire, so working with them was completely different from the pirates and merchants of the Ming Dynasty that we had found before. ”

Hideyuki Kikuchi said the identity of those foreigners, that is, Zhao Hongyu.

Crown prince!

This time, I can't help but Tokugawa Kayo doesn't think about it seriously.

"Yes, miss, she is the heir to the throne of her country."

Tokugawa Kayo thought for a while: "So, those warships that listen to the sea are all royal warships of the Song Kingdom?" ”

Hideyuki Kikuchi nodded and replied, "Yes, they're not pirates as we think they are. Or if it is the powerful sea of a certain country, these people represent a country. ”

Originally, Tokugawa Kayo thought that these guys who dared to bombard Osaka's commercial town were nothing more than some maritime giants or new maritime giants from a certain country in Southeast Asia.

But they could never have imagined that the identities of these outsiders were much more noble than they had guessed, and the power they represented was much stronger.

But even so, their situation is not very optimistic now.

Kayo Tokugawa shook his head at the thought of this.

"You said the other party wants to support a guy who was born as a fisherman?"

Kayo Tokugawa asked.

Hideyuki Kikuchi nodded again, allowing Kayo Tokugawa to confirm this.

"They represent a country. But it's impossible to think like a madman. It's Japan, not what they say. ”

Kayo Tokugawa still thinks this thing is a little too unbelievable.

"Anyway, miss, I think you're going to have to meet what they're talking about. My status is too low. People don't agree with me at all, so I asked you to go and interview him by name. ”

After remembering what Zhao Hongyu said to him at that time, Hideyuki Kikuchi said to Tokugawa Kayo.

"So do you think it's safe for us to go and interview these people?"

Kayo Tokugawa frowned. Obviously, I don't feel at ease about going to Zhao Hongyu's side.

Although Zhao Hongyu is not from Korea, nor is he from the Ming Dynasty, he has nothing to do with pirates. But Tokugawa Kayo has experienced a lot of betrayals after all, and she is very wary of this matter.

"Miss, let's go together, if there is really any problem, with our ability, we will definitely be able to escort you out safely." , After seeing that Tokugawa Kayo was a little moved, Kikuchi Hideyuki was busy persuading.

In Kikuchi Hideyuki's opinion, this opportunity is especially important for them, if they miss it, then they will be wasted in the future.

Therefore, they must seize this opportunity and not let themselves regret it.

Besides, for these people, there is no way back for them now.

Although they could survive in Japan, in the end, they could not escape the fate of defeat.

As time passed, the Ishida shogunate's grip on Japan was bound to grow stronger, and their power became weaker and weaker.

Under the trade-off, what results do they have but failure?

Otherwise, they would have been able to give up the idea of reviving the Tokugawa family and become good citizens incognito.

However, it is clear that this is not possible.

Except for Miss Tokugawa, the rest of the people have already made the revival of the Tokugawa family their ultimate goal of survival.

Therefore, it is impossible for them to identify with this path.

Not even death.

If this is the case, then leaving Japan or looking for a backer is the path they can choose.

Leaving Japan was a bit difficult for them.

Neither the daimyo nor the pirates or anyone else could get through.

If this is the case, then you can only find a backer.

However, on the Japanese side, there is no daimyo who can let them take refuge and have enough strength to protect them.

After all, now that the Wa Kingdom is under the control of the Ishida Shogunate, who would dare to argue with the Shogunate.

In such a situation, they can only focus on external forces.

But external forces are not so easy to find.

Fortunately, now Zhao Hongyu and they have been born, and they suddenly let Kikuchi Xiuxing see hope.

That's why Kikuchi Hideyuki is so attentive.

After saying that, at that time, Kikuchi Hideyuki hid his tracks. When he was hiding around Zhao Hongyu, he heard Zhao Hongyu's self-talk.

It's like a lowly guy like Wellhead Zaosan, he can support him.

So why can't the Tokugawa family be supported?

You must know that supporting these people is better than supporting a fisherman.

Right!

Some people also admit that it is a bit difficult to manage to support them compared to Iguchi Zazo.

If you want to be obedient or something, it must be people like Iguchi Shuzo who are stronger than them.

But the question is, if he really has a piece of land in the future, what advantage can he have in making three wells?

This time when Kikuchi Hideyuki persuaded hard. Hattori Chizuru also interjected and said, "Kayo, I think Ju is right. Now that we have no choice, if we want to revive the Tokugawa family, it is not the right choice to talk to these foreigners. If we can't work together, we can ask them to send us out of Japan, away from this place of right and wrong, and send us to a place where we can recuperate, without worrying about it all day. ”

The revival of the Tokugawa family was of course important, but first they had to preserve themselves.

Chizuru Hattori also understands this truth, she is not the kind of person who is reckless.

"Revival of the Tokugawa family. Revival of the Tokugawa family, you always say this to me, but you don't understand that this kind of life is not what I want to live at all, and I want to live that ordinary and ordinary life. Every day is happy, instead of worrying about being hunted down all day long, thinking about how you will die. ”

Tokugawa Kayo had a rare outburst, but in fact, she was also very depressed in her heart.

Especially this time. After the destruction of the last stronghold in Osaka's commercial town, she has been in a relatively depressed state, but she has hidden it well and has not been discovered.

But at this time. She finally couldn't take it anymore.

After all, she's just a teenage girl.

"Miss, don't say that, you are now the last bloodline of the Tokugawa family. The glory and bloodline of the Tokugawa family still need to be inherited and passed on by you, otherwise your ancestors and elder brother will not die in vain. ”

After Tokugawa Kayo had a violent outburst, Hattori Chizuru had to resort to the usual means, mentioning the ancestors of the Tokugawa family, as well as the elder brother of Tokugawa Kayo who died a few years ago.

Sure enough, as soon as Hattori Chizuru said this, Tokugawa Kayo's small shoulders immediately collapsed.

Yes, now she doesn't live for a person, she carries on her shoulders the wishes of the ancestors of the Tokugawa family, and the last wishes of her brother who died for her a few years ago.

At the same time, there are the samurai and ninjas who have died in the past few years to protect their brothers and sisters.

It was with these thoughts that Tokugawa Kayo's temper could no longer be released.

She also understands that she can't and doesn't have the qualifications to ask to live the kind of life she wants.

Because he does not live for himself, but for the unfinished ambitions of many people, and the last wishes of his ancestors.

"Well, I've decided to meet these foreigners and have a good talk with them. But I can't guarantee that we'll be able to get their help, because we don't know them very well. ”

Obviously, Tokugawa Kayo is not too optimistic about the outcome of this decision.

But for Hideyuki Kikuchi and Chizuru Hattori, as long as they can meet each other for a talk, then there is still a chance to change their current situation.

All they need is hope.

If you really can't do it, then you will be dead.

Anyway, in order to revive the Tokugawa family, there is nothing wrong with being thick-skinned.

Kikuchi Hideyuki secretly looked at his own lady, and he found that his young lady Tokugawa Kayo was actually a beautiful girl.

And the foreign crown prince is not very old, if you think about it, if the young lady can become a pair with the other party, then what is there to worry about.

Of course, this requires the lady's willingness.

However, Kikuchi Hideyuki knows the character of his own young lady, and if he makes this request recklessly, he will definitely be scolded by the young lady.

Therefore, Hideyuki Kikuchi suppressed these words.

This matter must not be rushed, it must be done step by step.

If you are in too much of a hurry, it will definitely backfire.

It's not that Hideyuki Kikuchi doesn't understand this truth.

And he even thought about a way out.

If the meeting between the young lady and the crown prince is not pleasant and does not achieve the goal, then their eyes can only be fixed on the person called Iguchi Sozo.

As long as those foreigners really support this guy, then it is not a good choice for them to take refuge in Jingkou as his retainers.

If Iguchi can really become a daimyo in Kyushu with the support of those foreigners, then at that time, for the revival of the Tokugawa family, it will be possible for the young lady to marry him.

It's just that, considering that this has not yet reached the last step, there is no need to rush this matter.

Seriously, if you can, you don't have to think about the choice at all.

But no matter what, my own lady finally agreed, and she could go to meet with Zhao Hongyu to talk.

If the talks are good, then they don't have to worry about anything in the future.

When the time comes, all they have to do is follow behind these foreigners and confront the shogunate.

You don't have to be distracted to protect Miss, and you have to be distracted to make money.

And this time they left Osaka Merchant Town, and they also met Koga Ninja.

I think the news that they have appeared near Osaka will definitely reach Edo in the shortest possible time.

And the Edo side will also make arrangements in the shortest possible time, and the ninjas of Koga will flock to it.

In such a situation, what else can they do but keep up with those foreigners?

When he thought of Koga Ninja, Hideyuki Kikuchi suddenly shook his body.

Not good!

If the Koga ninja can attack us, they can attack the foreigners as well.

I've seen that the foreigners don't know anything about ninjas, and apparently they don't have anything to do to defend against them.

If those Koga ninjas beat the rabbits with grass and cleaned up those foreigners, it would be a big mistake.

Thinking of this, Kikuchi Hideyuki hurriedly said loudly: "Miss, since you have made a decision, let's go now." Just now, the subordinates thought of a bad question, that is, the Koga ninja may appear nearby soon, and they may start attacking those foreigners if they are not good. ”

"I've been in contact with those foreigners, and I know that they don't know anything about the situation in our country, so my subordinates have concluded that they can't be defenseless against the Koga ninja side. If those Koga ninjas attacked, they would not be able to resist at all, and if they were defeated, it would be very disadvantageous to us. ”

After Hideyuki Kikuchi mentioned this issue, Chizuru Hattori on the side immediately stood up.

"In that case, what are we waiting for, let's go meet the foreigners at once. If the Koga Ninja appears at this time, we can also show our strength and open the eyes of those foreigners. (To be continued......)
