However, what Qin Mufeng said was not false at all, he deserved to be old brothers, and they knew each other best.

With a cannon bolt, Edo Bay was smashed into a miasma, and he threw off Matsudaira Nobutsuna's Toei fleet and headed all the way south to the territory of the Satsuma Domain.

In Toei, in addition to the Tokugawa shogunate, only the Satsuma clan has its own naval army, that is, the Hirado domain of Matsuura Zhenshin controls most of Toei's foreign trade, but there is no qualification to prepare for the establishment of a sailor, there is no way Satsuma Domain's Shimazu family is bullish, the reputation of the Satsuma samurai was too loud, known as the strongest results, Shimazu Iehisa, Shimazu Yoshihisa, Shimazu Yoshihiro, etc., are all Shimazu family out of the fierce generals, one is more fierce than the other, even if he stood on the wrong side in the Battle of Sekigahara, in the end Tokugawa Ieyasu was gently let go, Unwilling to completely turn the other cheek with the Shimazu family, the Shimazu family wants to keep a sailor in the Satsuma Domain, although the Tokugawa family is not very happy, but in order not to cause this big trouble, they can only turn a blind eye, in order to appease the Shimazu family, and even the Tokugawa family has to marry the daughter of the Tokugawa family and marry the Shimazu family.

Although the current Shimazu family is not like a few decades ago, there are many famous generals and the peak combat power is not there, but it is still the leading force under the Tokugawa shogunate, and no daimyo has such a glory as the Shimazu family.

Today's Satsuma clan naturally already knows about the changes that have occurred in the Hirado Domain, and in a few days, Fukushima, Ichikoku Island, Hirado Island and the Nagasaki Peninsula all fell into the hands of the Ming army, and the power of the Ichiguan Party was wiped out.

The Shimazu family did not dare to slack off, and no one knew if the Ming army would finish Nagasaki, and then march east to clean up their Satsuma domain.

Daimyo Shimazu Mitsuhisa summoned all his cadres to his mansion to discuss countermeasures.

In the hall, the atmosphere was extremely solemn, the battle reports from Nagasaki were passed one after another, the situation was getting more and more severe, the Zheng family and the Matsuura family joined forces, and the Ming army of the family was defeated and retreated, and if it was defeated, could its own Satsuma Domain support it?

"Let's talk about it, this time the Ming Empire fleet attacks Nagasaki, will it hit our Satsuma Domain......"

Mitsuhisa Shimazu said in a deep voice.

Shimazu Mitsuhisa's younger brother Shimazu Kulie replied: "Big brother, it depends on whether the Ming Empire is targeting the Zheng family or Dongying, if it is only to encircle and suppress the Zheng family, then they will not be able to attack the Satsuma Domain, but if it is really the entire Dongying, then our Satsuma Domain will bear the brunt." Nagasaki controls the foreign trade of the entire Toei, and is an important commercial town, and our Satsuma Domain is guarding the choke point to Edo Bay, if the Ming Empire is to annex Toei, the first thing to occupy is our Satsuma Domain, so that the advance can be attacked, the retreat can be defended, and at the same time, the fleet of the Toei will be completely blocked in the north and cannot go south......"

"Just call it? Are we still afraid of the sailors of the Ming Empire? Jiro, you have to understand, our Satsuma Domain is not something that the Zheng family and the Matsuura family can compare, the Satsuma Domain soldiers are brave and good at fighting, invincible, that is the number one military force in the entire Dongying, even if the army of the Ming Empire comes, we can let them return with a feather! ”

Shimazu Mitsuhisa's confidant general Matsushita Enji sneered: "A hundred years ago, our ronins and samurai in Dongying looted unscrupulously along the coast of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming army did not dare to go out of the city, even if it was a team of two or three hundred people, it would be able to defeat the officers and soldiers of a guard post of the Ming army, if it weren't for the fact that Qi Jiguang was born out of thin air, and Yu Dayou attacked from the north and south, we have a huge difference in strength, and this looting that has lasted for decades has not ended until now!" It would be good if the current Daming fleet could defeat our ronins and samurai, not to mention, the combat power of our Satsuma Domain is not comparable to those ronins. ”

Shimazu Mitsuhisa is not very old, and the idea of becoming a daimyo is not long, but he is very shrewd, inheriting the style of Nazu Shimazu Iehisa, hearing Matsushita Yuanji's words, Shimazu Mitsuhisa frowned.

"Matsushita-kun, don't underestimate your opponent, since the army of the Ming Empire was able to beat Matsuura Zhenxin and Tagawa clan to the ground in Hirado Mishima and Nagasaki, it means that their combat power is definitely not weak, we haven't gotten enough news yet, it's better not to jump to conclusions, it's hard to say how the Tagawa clan is, but Matsuura Zhenxin is in charge of the Hirado Domain, and his strength is not weak, among the more than 100 daimyos, it is enough to rank among the top ten forces. It shows that the combat power of the Ming army is definitely strong enough, not to mention that the sailors of the Yiguan Party dominated the coast of the East Ocean and China, and even the Dutch had to avoid its sharp ......"

Shimazu Hisamitsu said in a deep voice.

Matsushita Yuanji pursed his lips and replied: "Lord Fan, now the sailor of the Zheng family is no longer the situation at the beginning, when Zheng Zhilong was in Japan, the Fujian Navy Division was prosperous, and no one dared to fight in the East and the South Sea, but as soon as Zheng Zhilong died, the Fujian Navy Division was torn apart, and Tagawa Shichizaemon only got a large battalion of the Fujian Navy Division, and its strength was less than a quarter of the original Fujian Navy Division, and it was not as strong as the water division of our Satsuma Domain, if their Ming Empire's sailors dared to attack the Satsuma Domain, I must have them to have no return!" ”

Matsushita Yuanji is so domineering, although his surname is Matsushita, but he is half of the Shimazu family, Shimazu Yoshihiro is his uncle, he grew up in the Shimazu family, and he also inherited the fierce spirit of the Shimazu family.

Shimazu Kulie muttered: "Big brother, I think we don't have to worry about the power of the sea, after all, we have our own sailors, and at the same time, there is a fleet behind us that will support us at any time, now we should be worried about the land, the Ming army will beat Matsuura Zhenxin's downfall, with the army, our military strength on land is not particularly strong, especially the lack of troops, in my opinion, it is best that we can unite the two daimyo and defend together to resist the possible invasion of the Ming army in the future, Three or four daimyo united and put together fifty or sixty thousand troops, it should not be a problem, enough to block the attack of the Ming army, and when the shogunate army arrives on Shikoku Island, we can form a siege on the land against the Ming army and annihilate it in one fell swoop! ”

Shimazu Mitsuhisa's eyes lit up, and he laughed: "Brother, this is a good idea, the Ming army defeated the combined forces of the Tagawa clan and Matsuura Zhenxin, which shows that its strength is strong enough, but I am afraid that several other daimyo will already panic now, as long as I ascend to the heights, I will definitely respond in groups!" ”
