"What sound?"

In Osaka Castle, not far from Osaka Commercial Town, the daimyo here, Ishida Aido, a member of the shogun's family, walked out of the bedroom sleepily and shouted loudly.

Yesterday he had just spent the night with two women, and now he is really sleepy.

Originally, he wanted to have a good night's sleep, but when he slept sweetly, a roaring sound came from outside, making him sleepy.

This person, he doesn't sleep enough, and his body is quite uncomfortable.

As a result, it is easy to become irritable.

Ishida didn't understand who was doing what, and he made such a noise that he couldn't sleep.

Pedal Pedal Ped

A samurai in red light armor ran over and knelt down on one knee in front of him.

"My lord, there are dozens of strange foreign ships outside the port of Osaka, bombarding Osaka Commercial Town!"

Ga!

Ishida Aimichi, who was stretching his waist, paused abruptly when he heard this.

Nani!

"Cannon...... Bombardment of Osaka commercial town! ”

Ishida Aido thought of everything, but he just didn't expect such a situation to occur.

Originally, he thought that he had found some ore vein nearby, so those merchants opened a mine in Bangshan.

However, in fact, this was not the case, and dozens of foreign ships were bombarding Osaka's commercial town.

I'll you, it's a big deal.

Since the Ishida clan and other daimyo defeated the Tokugawa Coalition, Japan has largely regained stability, ending the Warring States period, which lasted for a hundred years.

War, at this time, is no longer likely.

Although the Tokugawa family and their daimyo would pop up from time to time, these people would not be able to make a climate at all.

But it's gratuitous. How could it be possible for a foreign ship to shell Osaka's commercial town?

Could it be that there is a new war?

Thinking of this, Ishida Aido's heart and liver trembled.

"Take me to see it!"

At the moment, Ishida Aido's voice was a little sour.

To be honest, don't look at the shogunate in the city of the Ishida family now, but these descendants of the Ishida family may have inherited the business genes of their ancestors, but they did not inherit the martial arts of Ishida's ancestors.

They are very talented and interested in buying and selling. But the most feared thing is war and fighting.

This is completely different from the Tokugawa family in history.

I don't know if it's because of the shit luck or because of Zhao Hongyu, the butterfly, history has deviated here and changed the way.

The Tokugawa family, which was supposed to be shoguns in this era, no longer exists.

The historical loser Ishida Mitsunari turned out to be successful. The Ishida shogunate was created.

As a member of the Ishida shogunate, Ishida Aido was such a person.

If it weren't for Ishida Mitsunari, he created the Ishida shogunate. Then maybe he should be a successful small businessman by now.

It's a pity. He is now a member of the Ishida family, but he can only become a daimyō.

Do business, then don't think about it.

After all, he is now a big name, so pay attention to the image.

Therefore, he can only spend his days drinking every day.

For the management and governance, everything is left to the subordinates to do.

Maybe it's because not long after the Warring States period has just passed. The people are hungry for stability.

The generals are also tired of the reasons for the war, so his small life is not bad.

Because, no one wants to go down and provoke turmoil like in the Warring States Period.

Therefore. Ishida Aido prays every day, it is best to bless the peace of the world, and if there is no turmoil here, then Amitabha.

If you are afraid of anything, you will come, and today there are foreign ships bombarding Osaka Commercial Town!

So, how could Ishida not panic.

Don't look at him as a daimyo, but he, like those in the Ishida family, is very different.

It's different from the other big names.

Timid, without martial arts, his dream is not to be a big name but a businessman.

Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that Ishida Mitsunari, the founder of the Ishida shogunate, was a businessman, and his descendants actually inherited his merchant genes.

It's a pity that Ishida Mitsunari started as a businessman, and then became a Sengoku daimyo of a generation.

In his blood, there is still a lot of martial bravery.

But his descendants seem to have inherited only his business talent, but not his courage.

I have to say, it's a really funny thing.

Regardless, Ishida Mitsunari defeated Tokugawa Ieyasu and became the ultimate victor of the Sengoku period, and founded the Ishida shogunate.

At this moment, Ishida Mitsunari's descendant, with an anxious look, was walking towards the balcony of the castle tower under the leadership of the samurai.

As he walked, Ishida asked the samurai with a tangled expression, "What the hell is going on?" It's good to shell Osaka's commercial town, do you know what the hell is going on? ”

In Ishida's opinion, the so-called foreigner would not have shelled Osaka's commercial town for no reason, and there must have been something unknown in it, which led to such a thing.

Even, behind this matter, there may be the shadow of the remnants of the Tokugawa family.

When he thought that there might be remnants of the Tokugawa family, Ishida Aido couldn't help but shudder.

Yes, Tokugawa Ieyasu was defeated by Ishida Mitsunari.

And Tokugawa Ieyasu and his relatives were also beheaded.

However, not all of the Tokugawa family members died.

There were also many people who were rescued by Hattori Hanzo, the leader of the ninja army under Tokugawa Ieyasu at that time.

Speaking of Hattori Hanzo, that's a terrible guy.

He and another ninja army leader under Ishida Mitsunari at that time, Kazema Kojiro, were the two most famous ninjas in the Warring States Period.

Ninjas, proficient in disguise, can be used to spy on military intelligence and assassinate opponents, and they will do whatever it takes. It can be said that it is impossible to prevent it.

When a ninja wants to kill someone, then it will be difficult for the target to survive.

After Hattori Hanzo rescued a relative of the Tokugawa family, he disappeared.

However, what followed was a wave of assassinations.

Although the wind demon Kojiro fought again and again, in that wave of assassinations, Ishida Mitsunari's allies were still assassinated many people.

Even, even the generals under Ishida Mitsunari have been killed a lot.

Of course, Hattori Hanzo also suffered a lot of losses. After all, his opponent is Kojiro the Wind Demon.

At that time, Ishida was already an old man who could remember, and he was already a teenager when this happened, and he still remembers what happened at that time, and every time he thinks about it, he shudders.

It was a very scary time. It's so scary that every time I dream about it.

After a wave of assassinations during that period, Hattori Hanzo went into hiding again.

But. From time to time, there will still be assassinations. But the spectacle and scale will not be as big as it was back then.

This may be related to the considerable loss of the service Hanzo, and it is also related to the gradual stabilization of the domestic situation.

Ninja, there isn't much of a market anymore.

It's very simple, because ninjas rose and grew in the Warring States period.

Without Sengoku, they would not be of much use. And useless words. They won't have an income.

It's a very simple question.

Of course, there are still ninjas who will go to them, but the things that find ninjas are basically trivial.

But it can also be seen from this that Ishida Mitsunari's shogunate is here. It's still relatively unstable.

But at least, they can control it, and as time goes on, those who resist will no longer have anything to do.

However, rats bite cats when they're in a hurry, don't they?

Ishida Aido is worried that behind the shelling of Osaka's commercial town, is there the presence and shadow of the remnants of Tokugawa?

If all this is what you imagined, then this is a big deal.

Yaga!

How did I get into such a situation?

There are so many cities in the world, so you came to me for Mao.

Even if you want to make trouble, can you go somewhere else?

It's really ridiculous.

Ishida thought angrily and aggrievedly.

After a short time, Ishida Aido and the samurai came to the balcony and immediately looked in the direction of Osaka Shocho.

Osaka Castle is boxy like a tower, and the architecture is not beautiful at all.

But at the level of Japanese art, that's it.

What they are best at is actually 'folk art'.

From the balcony in the middle of Osaka Castle, you can easily look around, after all, Osaka Castle was originally built to monitor the four directions.

"Your Excellency!" As Ishida came to the balcony, the samurai slowly gathered around. One of the samurai handed him a monocular.

Ishida took the telescope, lengthened it, and placed it on his eye socket.

Hiss!

Through the binoculars, Ishida Aido saw the bleak scene in Osaka's commercial town.

I couldn't help but gasp.

The once bustling commercial town is now filled with smoke billowing from everywhere, and many houses have been thrown to the ground and turned into ruins.

There are even many buildings that are slowly crumbling into ruins under the watchful eyes of Ishida Aido.

People in the streets are running around like headless flies.

People kept raising their mouths and screaming hoarsely.

Because the distance is so far, Ishida Aido must not be able to hear it.

At that moment, he did not dare to slack off, and immediately turned his telescope to the sea surface of Osaka Port.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Under his gaze, the foreign warships were still firing, and each cannon fire would shake the battleship for a moment, and then produce a wave that swung in all directions.

And those battleships fired artillery, and each time there would be more than forty guns, one after the other.

Such a sharp battleship, Ishida Aido is really the first time to see it.

I shine on the great god every day, which country's sailor is this, why is it so powerful?

"Can anyone tell me why these strangers are going to shell us!" (To be continued......)
