Maori Kogoro shouted: "No king, no father!" The eldest husband was born between heaven and earth, and should be based on loyalty and filial piety. Since Your Excellency is an important minister of the shogunate, it is natural that the lord should worry about the minister's work, and the lord humiliates the minister's death, which is the principle of being a courtier. Now that you have been deceived by the Ming Guohaikou, you don't want to retreat from the enemy, but instead boast about how powerful the enemy is, are you ready to make the lord surrender on his knees? Do you still have a general in your heart? What a spineless villain, you don't deserve my argument! Shut up, please! ”

The minister's face was so ashamed that he couldn't say a word. In the second leg of the debate, Kogoro Mori, won.

Another person said: "There are many people in the Ming Kingdom, and the ships are also big." The reason why our country is not weak in naval warfare is that it relies on ironclad ships to resist the enemy. Now the other side has a black ship with sharp artillery, and it destroyed more than a dozen ships of our patrol division in World War I, including three ironclad ships. If we delay any longer, the other side will break through the Odaiba fortress and then land, what can we resist? It's better to sign the agreement first and deal with the past. ”

Maori Kogoro laughed and said, "This is really a pedantic idea! My Tokugawa family ruled the world and quelled the troubled times of the Warring States with 80,000 horsemen with a banner, how famous is it? How can you lower your voice and bow your knees to a Ming Sea Kou? ”

This is all absolutely correct and the other party is speechless. Do you dare to say that the Shogun is not prestigious? Do you still want it?

In the third leg of the debate, Kogoro Maori, won.

Tokugawa Tadanaga asked, "If you decide to resist the Ming Sea Invaders, is there any good way?" ”

Maori Kogoro shook the goose feather fan lightly: "Li Huamei was worried that she was a woman and could not serve the public, and after being stranded at sea, she didn't dare to play the banner of the Li family, so she actually pulled the ronin named Nan Xiao out of the top tank." It is said that the relationship between Nanxiao and Li Huamei is not ordinary, and in my opinion, the two must have a leg. However, if the name is not right, it is not good, Li Huamei's subordinates are all veterans who are used to her father, and they will not accept the little white face she raised. Morale must be low. The general is a martial artist, has the inheritance left by his grandfather and father, and has enough food and food, so why be afraid of her? ”

Tokugawa Tadashi was moved and nodded approvingly: "It makes sense." ”

Maori Kogoro waved his feather fan and pointed to Tokyo Bay: "Haikou came from afar, without roots and no support, and a taboo; The orders of the whole army are different, they must fight for power and profit, and the two are taboo; Now that the midwinter is cold, the clippers can't get up fast, and they have no advantage in the face of our army's ironclad ships, and the three taboos are also; The soldiers of the Ming Kingdom traveled far away from the ocean, and the water and soil were not subject to multiple diseases, and the four taboos were also. With all these taboos, what is the use of a strong ship and a good gun? Our army only had to clear the wilderness and wait for the battle. The enemy is isolated at sea and does not dare to make a rash landing, so he will be in a dilemma. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the general can urgently summon naval forces from all over the country to surround the Ming Haikou. When the time and place are right, the first battle will be successful! ”

Tokugawa Tadanaga stood up and said loudly: "The Ming Sea Kou crisscrossed the East China Sea, hijacked my merchant ships, and did countless bad things. Now they have forced me to live in front of the city, killed my important ministers, and destroyed more than a dozen ships of the size of my patrol and waterproof division. Numerous crimes, unforgivable! I and Haikou will not stand together today! ”

Mori Kogoro said: "The minister is willing to fight a bloody battle for the general, and he will not give up his death." I'm afraid the general will be indecided. ”

Tokugawa Tadanaga drew his saber, cut off a corner of the table with a single sword, and shouted, "Whoever dares to surrender today will end up with this table." After speaking, he gave the saber to Maori Kogoro, made him a naval army, and ordered the Ming Sea Kou. He also tore up the letter sent by Nan Xiao in public and burned it in front of all the important ministers.

The slash was so neat that everyone present reminded them of their own heads. Suddenly, there was no opposition at all. All expressed their support.

Next, Tokugawa Tadanaga ordered the capture of Li Huamei's envoy, beheaded him in public under Edo Castle, and stuffed the half-burned book in the mouth of the head and sent it back to the Red Cossack.

The shogunate army began a general mobilization.

The high-ranking samurai gathered in Edo Castle, nervously looking at the map, planning how the battle would be fought.

The lower-ranking samurai went home to prepare for battle. He took out the ancestral sword from the shrine, sharpened it to the brim, and wiped it with white silk.

Professional soldiers, especially firecrackers, began to train rigorously. The whole pot of gunpowder, which is usually reluctant to use, was taken out and put away casually.

The arsenal was wide open, and the peasants were urgently summoned and received a suit of blackened leather armor and a short spear. A small number of trained ashigaru were given bows and arrows for temporary intensive archery training.

In this way, the whole of Edo Castle moved. Expand armaments and warfare, and vigorously fight against horses.

Surprisingly, the samurai who went to deliver the emissary's head on the big iron ship actually came back alive, intact, without missing ears or nose or anything.

That low-level samurai originally had the intention of dying, but he didn't expect to be troubled in the slightest.

In the next few days, he boasted about his great achievements when he met people, and gradually lost shape later. "That guy named Nanxiao, I threw the head of the messenger in front of him and sternly warned him not to invade Edo Castle. He was scared like a chicken, nodding his head vigorously, and he couldn't even let out a fart, hahahaha! ”

He just kept bragging and bragging, enjoying the eyes of everyone's worship. has wine, money, and occasionally can rely on this to soak women, and the small life is extremely nourishing. Until one night, he bragged about it again in the tavern. Just after blowing to the point that "I can't even fart at all" Before he could "hahahaha", suddenly a stone flew from outside the window and blew his face.

"Ahh

The people in the tavern panicked and scrambled to flee out.

Five hundred meters above Edo Castle, Nan Xiao clasped his hands around his chest, standing in the star-dotted void, overlooking everything at his feet.

It's boring to throw a stone and pop a samurai's head, and he admits it.

"Mao Yuyu," he said casually, "you see these people, all of them are seriously preparing to fight us." They killed my messengers, rejected my reasonable offer of peace, and resolved to fight to the death with me. You say, what can I do to make them understand that everything is a senseless rebellion? ”

Mao Yuyu was holding a big gold bar in her mouth and was licking it. "Huh?" It looked at Nan Xiao cutely, as if it didn't understand what he wanted to say at all.

"There," Nanxiao said, pointing to the brightest point of Edo Castle's illumination, "the Edo Castle Castle Castle Tower, where the shogun and his retainers are there. ”

Gudu and Mao Yuyu finally swallowed the whole gold bar, still staring at Nan Xiao cutely.

Nan Xiao touched Mao Yuyu and smoothed it out. The golden glittering hair, cool and smooth to the touch,

"Let's go," he said, "go and teach them a lesson." ”
