That's right!

If you have money to collect it, you are a mercenary, and if you don't have money, who will hire it? Isn't that "Wa Bai Lao"?

The samurai were shelled and shot every day on the beaches of Daming, they could not even eat enough, and in some places even fresh water was cut off by the Chinese, so they had to drink seawater to quench their thirst! The working conditions are worse and more dangerous than the Spanish silver mines in the New World, right? Everyone is like this, their lives are almost gone, damn the Spaniards still owe salaries, this is no longer a black-hearted boss, this is simply not a person!

Hotta Masatoshi hasn't said anything yet, the group of Tokugawa retainers around him who are not soft on the daily deduction of samurai salaries are now all turned into bitter and bitter working widows who meet a black-hearted boss, and they immediately began to cry out for grievances.

"Xin Najun is right, it is already a shame for me to be a dignified warrior and act as a mercenary of the Spanish barbarians, and now I can't even get a military salary, it's a great shame!"

"That's right, we are not the retainers of the Spanish barbarians, we came to China to help the Spaniards fight just to earn military salaries, but the Spanish barbarians have not paid military salaries for several months, and the employment relationship has long existed Now, we are Spanish creditors!"

"How can there be any reason in the world for a creditor to be loyal to his debtor?"

"Hotta Laozhong, please ask for forgiveness from Daming on behalf of the samurai who were killed by the Spanish barbarians."

Not to mention, the genealogy of the Tokugawa family is flexible (otherwise how could they become a genealogy?). The dead brain was buried with Toyotomi), the one who changed his position was called a mercenary of the king of Spain when he fought with the wind, and now he can't fight it, and he has become the creditor of the king of Spain.

What is the reason why mercenaries work for their employers, and creditors work for their debtors? So they can justifiably surrender to save their lives!

Those mercenaries who are always underpaid on the battlefield in Europe will probably have to shout "admiration" if they want to know the riotous operation of these Japanese counterparts!

Hotta Masatoshi also thinks this truth makes sense! Because the Spaniards did not pay their salaries for several months, the Japanese mercenaries automatically changed from mercenaries to creditors, and the employment relationship was dissolved, the debt relationship was established, and the mercenaries' obligations to their employers were also lifted, and the enemies who defected to their employers did not violate the spirit of bushido

"Shinna-kun" Hotta Masatoshi was still a little uneasy, and asked a little worriedly, "Although we were hired by the Spaniards to invade the territory of the Celestial Empire as mercenaries. But after all, the great general who offended the Celestial Empire and caused a lot of damage to the Celestial Empire, can you forgive me and wait? ”

This confession attitude is much stronger than that of the little devils of later generations!

But it is useless to confess sin, and if you are guilty, you will be punished!

"Hotta Laozhong," Shinna Tadaaki said with a smile, "you can pay three times the fine after you have caused damage to the Celestial Empire!" ”

"What?"

"To be compensated"

"And a fine?"

"Xinnajun, we are under the command of the Spanish barbarians"

"Yes, Da Ming should go to Spain to ask for compensation!"

Hearing the answer of a group of Japanese devils who asked for money and were afraid of pain, Xinna Tadaaki nodded with a smile: "You have some truth, in fact, the Great Tomorrow Dynasty has already claimed compensation from Spain, no, not a claim, but to go to the silver mine in New Spain to get compensation!" The expeditionary force of the Ming Dynasty, long before the Spaniards hired you as soldiers, had already gone to New Spain to get compensation! You must have heard of the Aztec Republic, right? This is how the Ming Expeditionary Force was established together with the natives of New Spain. The Spanish rule in New Spain was coming to an end. ”

Before the Spaniards caused damage to the Ming Dynasty, they sent troops to New Spain to "get" the indemnity, and also overthrew the Spanish rule in New Spain. This Da Ming has really become bad, a Da Ming has become bad, it is really terrible!

When Hotta and his men heard this, they all gasped.

"Xinnajun, we really don't have any money." Hotta Masatoshi actually knew that the other party was not really here to ask for money - the silver mines in New Spain belonged to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty would still care about the money of tens of thousands of Japanese mercenaries? So what Da Ming wants must be something else! However, Hotta still pretended to be aggrieved, and he almost cried.

"If you don't have money, you can be a mercenary for Daming and use your military salary to pay off your debts!" "How much do the Spaniards pay you?" ”

"The most ordinary samurai can get three dings of silver a year, and the income of an officer doubles for each rank raised, with a cap of three hundred dings of silver. Food, armor, and equipment were all provided by the Spaniards and the Dutch, and could be owned by individual mercenaries after the war. ”

"Ding silver" is a kind of Japanese silver coin, the silver content of one Ding silver is about 4 taels, and three Ding silver is 12 taels, almost one tael of silver a month, which is really not high. Of course, this was something that ordinary samurai could get, not the amount paid by Spain and the Netherlands to the Tokugawa shogunate.

The Tokugawa shogun must take a large share! Otherwise, wouldn't the general have done it for nothing?

"Da Ming can give double copies!" "But you have to be a soldier for a year in vain to pay compensation and fines. This is the benefit that I have tried my best to win for you from His Royal Highness the Deputy General, please don't bargain! ”

"This." Hotta asked, "I wonder where His Royal Highness the Vice Admiral wants us to attack?" ”

"Kyoto!"

"Nani?"

"Kyoto, Japan?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Do you want us to invade Japan and disturb His Majesty the Emperor as lackeys of the Ming Dynasty in order to survive?"

A group of officers under Hotta immediately jumped up, they were all samurai loyal to the emperor, how could they march into Kyoto? This is a rebellion!

"You're mistaken!" Shinna Tadaaki hurriedly explained, "Vice General Daming doesn't want to destroy Japan, nor does he want to invade Japan, he just wants to take you to ask the emperor for an explanation!" ”

"What do you want to say to the emperor?" Hotta was confused.

"His Royal Highness the Vice Admiral would like to ask the Emperor why he allowed the Tokugawa Shogun to lend the Japanese army to the Spanish barbarians to invade the Celestial Empire?" Shinna Tadaaki said solemnly, "In addition, the deputy general can also ask His Majesty the Emperor for debts!" ”

"Asking the emperor for a debt?"

"The vice-general thinks that His Majesty the Emperor allowed the prince to lend troops to the Spaniards?"

"Vice General Daming must not know the national conditions of Japan, right?"

"We, Japan, like the Ming Dynasty, are ruled by generals. Emperor. There is no power at all! ”

A group of big widows also explained to Xinna Zhongming in a gossiping manner, and they didn't want to think about who this Xinna was? He's the elder of the Satsuma Domain, and he's not a clear man about Japan?

Hotta Masatoshi was an old middle school in the end, and he understood much more than the stupid guys under his hands, and at this time he looked at Shinna with burning eyes: "Shinna-kun, I'm afraid it's not the deputy general of the Ming Dynasty who is going to Kyoto to ask the emperor, but Lord Satsuma wants to carry a knife to Shangluo, right?" ”

Lift the knife on Luo

Sengoku is coming again?

Hearing "Raise the knife and go to Luo", the blood in the veins of the heads of those mercenaries under Hotta suddenly boiled!

They all stared at Shinna Tadaaki, not knowing if they wanted to follow the big fight, or if they wanted to draw their swords and cut down this old man of the Shimazu family to serve the Tokugawa shogun?

"Definitely!" Shinna Tadaaki shook his head and said, "It's not that Marquis Satsuma wants to carry a sword to Kamiraku, but Marquis Satsuma, Marquis Choshu, Marquis Tosa, Marquis Kanazawa, and Marquis Yonezawa have all received the edict of His Majesty the Emperor, and they will unite with King Kamirakin and bring down the Tokugawa shogunate that betrayed the interests of Japan to Spain and the Dutch barbarians. Moreover, we also have the support of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty, and we will definitely win! ”

Hotta is the old middle school of the Tokugawa shogunate! Of course, he refused to casually join the camp of the overthrow, so he sank his face at that time: "Although the shogunate colluded with Xiyi, the vassal Joseon of the Ming Dynasty also occupied the land of Chikuzen, Hizen, Tsushima, Yitai and Ezo Island in Kyushu!" ”

"Hotta," Shinna said, "was not a minister of the Ming Dynasty but of the Qing Dynasty when the Joseon Governor occupied these areas." So it was not the Ming Dynasty that invaded Japan, but the Qing Dynasty! And the Qing Dynasty is the hardcore ally of Spain and the Netherlands, and the shogunate sent troops to help Spain and the Netherlands attack the Ming Dynasty, which is to help the Qing Dynasty and help the Qing Dynasty's Korean prison state, which is really a traitor to seek glory! ”

"But now Yang Qilong is already a courtier of the Ming Dynasty! Right? "Hotta guessed that he has broken off his ties with the Japanese mainland now, and he doesn't know what the relationship between Yang Qilong and Daming is?

"Yes!" "Yang Ki-ryong has been crowned king of Joseon, but his territories in Chikuzen, Hizen, Tsushima, Iltai and Ezo do not necessarily belong to the Joseon Kingdom. ”

"It doesn't have to belong to the Kingdom of Joseon? Who does that belong to? ”

"Who belongs should be decided by the Ming Emperor!" Shinna Tadaaki said, "Emperor Ming means that the lands of Kyushu Island, such as Chikuzen, Hizen, Tsushima, and Itodai, should belong to the borders of Japan, and the Yang family will lead the Yang family in the above places and claim to the emperor!" The land of Ezo is led by the Yang family, and the border is determined by the Heavenly Emperor and the Yang family after consultation. If the Yang family is willing to let Ezo join Japan, Daming has no objection. ”

And such an operation?

Hotta was stunned, he never thought that the Ming side would come up with such a plan - let the Yang family send people to be the lords of Chikuzen, Hizen, Tsushima, Yitai and other places, and at the same time call the emperor a minister, and this plan is still the "ruling" of the Ming Emperor!

On what basis did the Ming Emperor adjudicate the dispute between Japan and Korea?

Isn't this the appearance that the Ming Dynasty is the suzerainty of Japan and Korea?

And what's even more terrifying. His Majesty the Emperor is likely to accept the ruling of the Ming Emperor - Chikuzen, Hizen, Tsushima, Ichidai and other places have a stone height of one million stones! All of them have been ruled out as the domain of the Emperor's ministers!

Why should the emperor object to such a good thing?

If the emperor did not object, what about the shogun? The land of Japan theoretically belonged to the emperor, and the emperor agreed, but what else did the shogun oppose? And the general doesn't have the ability to regain those territories!

If you can't take it back yourself, shouldn't you allow the emperor to take it back, shouldn't this shogun be defeated?

"Hotta-kun!" Seeing that Hotta and the other high-ranking Japanese mercenaries had nothing to say, Shinna Tadashi said to them with a serious face, "Those who know the times are Junjie!" Now the general trend of Shenzhou is like this, the Ming Dynasty is strong and invincible, and Japan must change camps, otherwise it will be completely strangled by the Ming Dynasty! Japan is an island country! Surrounded by the sea, if the Ming Dynasty did not have a strong navy, Japan would have natural dangers to rely on, enough to destroy China. But now the Ming Navy has become the master of the Pacific Ocean by defeating the Spanish Armada, even if New Spain is far away, it can't stop the Ming army from treading the waves, let alone Japan? Moreover, the Yang clan, a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, had landed in Kitakyushu and occupied a territory of up to one million stones.

Japan has long been out of danger! There is no way out for Japan except to join China! ”

That's right!

And whoever doesn't know the current affairs is not far from death!

Without waiting for Hotta to make a statement, someone under his command had already made a decision!

"Xinnajun, we are all in favor of honoring the king!"

"Xinnajun, Yidi beasts, not my race, their hearts will be different. The shogun's sacrifice of China and the destruction of the country is really a disaster for the country and the people! ”

"Xin Najun, please introduce the deputy general of the Ming Dynasty for us!"

Shinna Tadaaki looked at Hotta and said word by word, "Hotta-kun, don't you want to have your own million stones?" Hotta-kun, do you see those old lock boats on the sea? Half of the tens of thousands of Japanese mercenaries on the Zhapu beach will be able to board the ship immediately, and in less than a month, they will be able to land in Osaka, and in a few days, the soldiers will be able to sail into Kyoto! At that time, the samurai of Satsuma, Choshu, and Tosa will also march together. And the Uesugi family of the Yonezawa Domain, the Maeda Million Stone of the Kanazawa Domain, will also raise the banner of rebellion! The great cause of the curtain will be a success soon! ”

Of course, it is not so easy to succeed!

After all, the big man who now leads the Tokugawa shogunate is Tokugawa Mitsukuni, not Tokugawa Keiki. Moreover, although the shogunate's navy has not been established, the new army of the shogunate army has already been supported.

So the Tokugawa shogunate was not so easy to be defeated!

Of course, Li Yat-sen never thought of overthrowing the Tokugawa shogunate.

However, the leaders of Hotta, Shinna, and other Japanese mercenary groups did not know the mind of General Daming. When they think of the "downfall" now, and when they think of the "troubled times of the Warring States", their blood is boiling!

The faces of the Japanese devils are full of expressions that are distorted with excitement!

The main game of bushido in Japan is a violent plunder! If you can't grab a foreign country, then start a war on your home and fight a civil war! The reason why the historical Meiji government was able to gradually stabilize the situation after the successful fall of the curtain was that there was a waste of the Qing Dynasty to pay compensation to Japan for land cession, and if the First Sino-Japanese War was fought like Toyotomi Hideyoshi's invasion of Korea, Japan would be a quasi-implosion!

And now Japan's foreign expansion is completely useless, and the Tokugawa shogunate has completely stimulated the warlike genes of the samurai and ronin in Japan because of its participation in the Eleven-Nation Alliance and the invasion of Young's Korea.

Now even if you are a recovered student, I am afraid that there is no way to force back another warring period that is about to start!

Japan, Osaka, Kawaguchi Port, the first year of Japan's Zhenxiang, March 15.

Early in the morning, when the merchants of Osaka woke up from their sleep, washed up, and had breakfast, they habitually walked out into the street and looked in the direction of Kawaguchi Port, and everyone stood there as if they had been immobilized.

Outside the port of Osaka Kawaguchi, which became empty due to the order of the Great Ming General's Office, hundreds of large and small sailing ships appeared overnight, including old lock boats, wide ships, bird ships, and lucky ships. Without exception, they are all sailing ships from China, and the hull is huge, looking like all of them are "giant ships" with a displacement of hundreds or even thousands of tons, densely packed and covered with sea!

On the masts of these ships, red flags are still fluttering in the wind!

Although I can't see the tattooed graphics on these flags, there is no doubt that the flags with a red background must represent the Great Tomorrow Dynasty!

The Great Tomorrow Soldier is coming!
