Chapter 762: Differentiation (Plus Change)
"Poor monk / I have seen His Excellency the General of the Kingdom below!" Shimazu Yoshihisa and Shimazu Yoshihiro immediately joined the ship after they came to the ship, and they were inevitably a little apprehensive in their hearts, not knowing what was important for this lord of the Celestial Empire to summon him, they had already prepared for the worst before coming, if the general of the kingdom detained them as hostages, those retainers would immediately support Shimazu Yoshihisa's adopted son, Shimazu Yoshihiro's third son, Shimazu Tadashihiro, to succeed him.

"You are guilty of committing my Ming clan for no reason?" Li You asked in a long voice, making the momentum of the officials of the Heavenly Empire, the guards behind him heroic and martial, and the battle flag hunting, all showing the majesty of the Celestial Empire.
"This fact is Taiko... Oh no, Toyotomi Hideyoshi forced us to do it, my Satsuma clan has always been at odds with the Toyotomi family, and it was really a lack of strength that had to act according to his orders. Shimazu Yoshihisa directly threw the pot to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and for this reason, he also took out the past story of his forced monkhood to increase his persuasiveness.
Shimazu Yoshihiro also helped on the side, this general known as "Onishi Manzi" is also famous in the Ming Dynasty, and there is a record of being killed in the Ming Dynasty's good news; The two brothers were prostrate on the deck, their bodies trembling, lest they might anger the Shogun and bring misfortune to the Satsuma Domain.
"I heard that you don't want to invade Korea, and you still want to annex the Ryukyus Kingdom? Liuqiu is also a vassal of my Ming Dynasty, and if this is the case, my Ming Dynasty will never sit idly by. If the invasion of Korea can be explained as the result of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's persecution, then the annexation of the Ryukyu Kingdom is the Shimazu family's own business, and it has nothing to do with others.
"Never, never!" Shimazu Yoshihisa and Shimazu Yoshihiro's cold sweat came down, why are the generals of the Heavenly Dynasty so well-informed, they have absolutely no such intention even after sambling; And now that all the savings of the Satsuma Domain have been scavenged and paid to Li You, they have no strength to think about the affairs of the Satsuma Domain in a short period of time.
After scaring them a few times, seeing that the Shimazu brothers were becoming more and more obedient, Li You let them get up and began to throw out a sweet date, "What you said is already clear to this official, although it may be true that you sent troops to North Korea because of the persecution of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but it is also an indisputable fact that you and others burned, looted, and attacked our Ming army in Korea!" Li You stretched out his hand to stop their defense, and continued, "However, my Heavenly Empire has always been generous and merciful, since you have now eaten enough lessons and have also compensated for money, food and silver, then half of this matter will be put aside for the time being, and the other half will depend on your future performance!" ”
"The general of the kingdom has been sent, and I will not obey my orders." Shimazu Yoshihisa and Shimazu Yoshihiro knelt down again, half of the thoughts that had just been hung up had already fallen, and the other half was up to the general to see what they wanted them to do.
"Since the expedition to Korea was done by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, then Toyotomi Hideyoshi should accept the punishment of my Daming!" Li You said sharply, "Since Toyotomi Hideyoshi is dead, then his heir, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, should bear this responsibility!" You send someone to Osaka to inform the five elders and the five commissioners that if you hand over Toyotomi Hideyori and compensate me for the military expenses of the Ming Dynasty, then you will stop at this time, otherwise this official will definitely lead the army to greet the various daimyos! ”
Zong Yizhi's status is still lower, and he didn't get a response for a long time when he sent someone to Osaka to spread the word, so Li You decided to let the Shimazu family also go to Osaka to get involved; And this is also a warning to the daimyo of the Wa Kingdom, even the Shimazu family of 600,000 koku has succumbed, do you dare to resist the army of the Celestial Empire with this strength?
Li You's conditions made the Shimazu brothers dumbfounded, now that Toyotomi Hideyoshi has passed away not long ago, his residual power is still there, Li You is going to bring Toyotomi Hideyoshi back to Daming to ask for the guilt, which is really unimaginable for them; But after a little pondering, I found that Toyotomi Hideyori was too young to control the Wakoku like Toyotomi Hideyoshi, plus the Maeda Toshiya family had died, and the Tokugawa Ieyasu family was dominant, maybe the Wakoku would usher in great changes soon, so maybe there were still many people who would be happy to see this happen? This is a great benefit for many people.
But in the end, the power of the Toyotomi family is still strong, and if this news reaches Osaka, I'm afraid that the Wakuni itself will be in chaos first, right? This general's strategy is really vicious! The old and spicy Shimazu Yoshihisa quickly guessed Li You's intentions, but unfortunately he didn't have the strength to stop all this, so he had to agree, and by the way, he wondered how the Shimazu family could benefit his family from this matter.
The Satsuma Domain has been settled, Li You left the port with a full harvest, and continued to attack the Wakoku Naval Division, the Nabeshima family, the Noshima Murakami Naval Army, the Awaji Asutaka Naval Army, the Ise Nine Ghost Naval Army, the Ouchi Imperial Naval Army, the Niko Family Nasa Nisuke and other large and small fleets have been buried under the attack of the Zheng Imperial Naval Division, Zheng Chenggong's fleet is invincible in East Asia in this era, and these inland fleets of the Japanese Imperial Kingdom have no way to pose any threat to them.
After eliminating these sailors, Li You continued to imitate what he had done in the Satsuma Domain, forcing the local daimyo to hand over silver and two coins of grain to make amends, and the obedient ones were temporarily released and let them go to Osaka to deliver a letter to convey the demands of the Celestial Empire; Disobedient to launch a landing operation, a group of elite soldiers on the land, launched an attack on the city of the Wa Kingdom, the city of the Wa Kingdom in this era could not stop the cannons and guns of the Zheng family army at all, those samurai were far from the opponent of the Iron Man team, plus these daimyo did not have a few outstanding strength, the troops under their command were small, and soon suffered enough, and the city was breached, and had to send double the compensation in exchange for the departure of Li You's army.
These daimyos, who did not know the times, did not end up as well as the Shimazu family and the Zong family, and they were forced to hand over the proton and the samurai of the domain to join Li You's army, and will be used as cannon fodder in future battles, and it depends on their luck how many people will be left to go back in the end.
As more and more envoys came to Osaka, the five elders and the five commissioners had to pay attention to the threat of this Ming army and began to discuss countermeasures.
At this time, Li You's request once again stimulated the contradiction between them, the Kanto Daimyo thought that this disaster was caused by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and it had nothing to do with their Kanto Daimyo, since the Ming Dynasty had a request, then it seemed reasonable to hand over Toyotomi Hideyori to them, but Ishida Mitsunari and others were resolutely opposed, and for a while, the daimyo of the Wa Kingdom were classified into two factions.
