"Quick! Come on, people, go to Edo Port and see what's going on! ”

"Quick!"

In Edo Castle, a large number of samurai are leaving the castle in order to find out what is happening in the current port.

And by the port.

Countless people of the Japanese Kingdom are gathering here, and they all saw the warships of the Ming Dynasty from afar, and they all had extremely frightened expressions.

“... Where did this artillery fire come from! The port of Edo is about to be destroyed! ”

"What the hell are the samurai of the shogunate doing... Why haven't they come yet, I haven't even seen the ships belonging to us leave the port. ”

....

Such discussions could not save the port of Edo, and the five warships of the Ming Dynasty were constantly approaching the interior of the port.

Most of the sailors on board had serious expressions.

Waiting for the order from Zhao Yunkai on the lead ship.

"Suspend the shelling and give Tokugawa Iemitsu a little time to react... If he doesn't even know who is attacking them, we're in vain! ”

Zhao Yunkai gave an order, and the flag changed again.

All the warships of the Ming Dynasty stopped their incessant shelling of the port of Edo, not far from the port. A large number of samurai have already come to Edo Port for reinforcements from within Edo Castle.

After all, Tokugawa Iemitsu, the soul of the Tokugawa shogunate, was watching from behind.

Bang!

"Da Ming? Is it really the warship of the Ming Dynasty? ... I guessed correctly! Damn it!! Tokugawa Iemitsu couldn't hide the angry look in his eyes, and looked angrily at the shogunate military attachés around him.

Then he spoke again: "Can any of you tell me why none of us can tell me in advance until the Ming warship arrives at Edo Port!" ”

"Won't anyone be able to spot this fleet in advance?"

In fact.. Tokugawa Iemitsu actually knew very well in his own heart, according to the report of the port samurai... This time, the Ming warship was something they had never seen before.

The exterior was covered in a layer of silvery-white steel, and the entire ship did not have a single mast or sail.

This undoubtedly shows that the other side does not need the help of the wind to sail in the sea.

"General... Now it is imperative to figure it out... Da Ming is menacing this time, what is it for?"

A military attache on the side said very cautiously.

Tokugawa Iemitsu, on the other hand, was gloomy.

He spoke coldly again: "What do you want.. Emperor Mingzheng's little girl may really fall into the hands of the Ming Dynasty now... What do you want? Isn't it still the final say? ”

This sentence shocked the military attaches present.

Previously, although Daming had sworn to release the news to the outside world.

It was only after Emperor Akimasa of the Wa Kingdom made a request to their monarchy that he sent troops to war against the Wa Kingdom.

But actually, in the shogunate.

Although many people are skeptical about this, they actually believe a lot in their hearts... But after all, it was news from the Ming Dynasty, and now this news was confirmed by the shogunate shogun in front of him, that is, Tokugawa Iemitsu.

How could this not surprise them, the Tokugawa shogunate was a samurai regime, so almost all those who held power were samurai or military attachés without exception.

"General... Your Excellency the Emperor.."

A military attache spoke again in disbelief, wanting to get a negative answer from Tokugawa Iemitsu's mouth.

It's a pity that Tokugawa Iemitsu just waved his hand and sat on the top seat again.

In an instant, all the military attachés of the shogunate present were like mourners, and even many of them had a little less blood on their faces.

"This thing.. You all know what we're going to do if it leaks out."

"But... What is more important now is how we should expel the warships of the Ming Kingdom parked in Edo Port, and I wonder what you can do. ”

After Tokugawa Iemitsu's words came out, a long time passed.

No one dared to go next.

After all, anyone can see that this time the Ming warship came to Edo definitely not well, and they didn't give them much time to react at all.

It directly bombarded the port of Edo.

This was undoubtedly shouting at their shogunate, "I'm coming!" Haven't you come out to greet you? ”

At this moment, a middle-aged military attache named Hideyoshi Tanaka stepped forward.

"The Great General.. I thought we should do everything we could to expel the Ming fleet first..."

"Eviction? How to evict .." Tokugawa Iemitsu couldn't help but roll his eyes, waiting for him to see if there was anything to follow.

"I thought. As long as it is a man, it must be rich and lustful, we might as well send 500 beauties and beauties in a small boat in the name of the army, and then send 50,000 silver... In exchange for the temporary withdrawal of the Ming fleet. ”

As soon as this kind of remarks ended, not only did no one stand to object, but many military attachés nodded their heads...

Tokugawa Iemitsu couldn't even believe his ears when faced with such a proposal...

Toyotomi Hideyoshi has only been dead for decades.

The shogunate was already eroded to the point where the enemy hit the doorstep...

Didn't anyone dare to stand up and say that he was leading the sailors to retreat from the enemy?

"Then I'll leave this matter to you!"

Compared with the Ming fleet, Tokugawa Iemitsu was more worried about the fact that the matter of Emperor Ming seemed to be unsolvable.

The only priority is to find a way to support a new person to take over.

Otherwise.. The shogunate was in big trouble.

....

Outside Edo Port in early autumn, under Zhao Yunkai's order, although all the warships had not turned off their boilers, all the sailors were no longer as solemn and nervous as they were just now.

On the blue sea, there are many fish frolicking in the water.

Zhao Yunkai said to the officers of the naval division around him: "What do you think the Tokugawa shogunate will offer in exchange for our withdrawal?" ”

The officers on the side were a little stunned.

It's only been a long time... Why is the Governor in front of him so confident that the Tokugawa Shogunate of the Wa Kingdom will definitely come to negotiate peace?

An officer said in confusion: "Your Excellency. He felt that we should find a way to continue the artillery fire into Edo Castle instead of waiting here."

"Hey.. Don't talk about this, you answer my question. ”

The officers of the Navy Division looked at each other, and Zhao Yunkai began to roll call.

"Li Ze, come and talk about it!"

"Report to the Governor-General. Shimono felt that the shogunate could get his hands on nothing more than some gold and silver treasures. ”

"Hahaha! Li Ze is quite smart, but the official thinks it! Not necessarily! ”
