The Tokugawa Shogunate still knew nothing about the Kiyosō Movement that took place in Hiroshima Domain!

Regarding the actual control of the Satsuma Domain by the Ming Dynasty, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi could barely tolerate it for a while. Anyway, the Ming Dynasty did not take any further actions, so he tolerated it and passed it.

However, the large number of loyalists of the Zunmei faction made Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, a little man, realize the crisis.

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi remembered the Amakusa Rebellion.

At that time, the Catholic parishioners could not bear the rule of the shogunate and triggered a great uprising. In order to suppress them, the shogunate has not yet recovered.

Later, in order to prevent such a thing from happening again, the Tokugawa shogunate made the same choice as the Tatars, which was to sequester the country and dumb down the people.

Try your best to block trade with the West, strictly prohibit foreign ideas, and let the Japanese people only know how to be filial to the shogunate.

As a result, these upright and respectable people are now openly publicizing the collapse. This is simply a provocation to the Tokugawa family!

Fortunately, he has already sent people to clean up Hiroshima to clean up these fleas.

But the culprits are in the Satsuma Domain. If they are not dealt with, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi will have trouble sleeping and eating.

After finding out that there were only more than 5,000 Ming troops (Manchurian soldiers from Wattai) in the Satsuma Domain, and the rest were traitors and puppet troops (Japanese Association Army), he immediately ordered a crusade against the Satsuma Domain and requested daimyo from various places.

Spend money and send troops.

Since the Japanese bought cannons from the Dutch, they made their own cannons, and then built these coastal defense forts.

They are all soldiers sent by daimyo from around the Kanto region.

White rice, on the other hand, is only available to nobles.

It's not surprising that there are ships on the sea, but today it's not normal.

At this moment, a continuous sound of warning bells suddenly came from the direction of the fort in the mountains in the distance.

Soldiers from various vassals wearing colorful armor with samurai swords on their waists and iron cannons on their shoulders began to board the ship one after another.

Could it be a Dutch merchant ship?

"Bring me the general's telescope!" Tokugawa Tsunayoshi said.

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi looked puzzled.

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, who was wearing bright armor, couldn't help feeling filled with pride as he looked at the soldiers boarding the ship in an orderly manner.

At the same time, on the second-level battleship of the Minhai Fleet, Zhu Tiangui put down the telescope in his hand.

With nearly 500 warships and more than 30,000 soldiers, such a grand occasion even gave him the idea that the Sekigahara War was nothing more than this.

At worst, tens of millions of people will be killed!

He didn't believe it. With so many people, they couldn't defeat the Ming army?

What's going on? Didn't he agree that he was going to attack Satsuma Domain? But why did the Ming army warships appear here now? Is it a coincidence?

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi had countless questions in his mind.

"Boats, there are many boats on the sea!"

Many people even had happy smiles on their faces.

Moreover, there is a chance to get loot during the war. Maybe you are lucky enough to grab a valuable treasure and make a fortune in one fell swoop.

And these Japanese pirate soldiers who were sent to fight with Tokugawa Tsunayoshi were also happy to do this job.

However, since the Ming Navy's navy appeared here, it meant that his sneak attack plan was ruined, but Tokugawa Tsunayoshi did not panic at all.

"what happened?"

Finally, a Japanese soldier pointed at the sea and shouted loudly.

"Order, all ships are free to bombard! Short and heavy artillery, pay attention to the Japanese pirates' small sampans, don't let them get close!"

Although the warships of the Ming Navy were huge in size, there were only a few dozen in number, while there were more than 500 warships under his command. With such a huge gap, he really could not imagine that he would be defeated.

So that everyone was a little confused when they heard the bell.

"With morale at your disposal, this battle will be won!"

Of course, as the Ming Dynasty's reputation has become more and more famous recently, some famous people are worried that this move will offend the Ming Dynasty and bring disaster to the Japanese country.

But Tokugawa Tsunayoshi completely ignored it.

The staple food for ordinary people's two meals a day is still buckwheat, black beans and a small amount of glutinous rice.

Although the Tokugawa Shogunate's orders were not very binding on foreign daimyo in remote areas, they were still quite effective on Honshu Island.

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi raised his telescope and took a look, and then his brows were locked together tightly.

The subordinate quickly handed over a monocular telescope.

"Ming Army! Why are the Ming Army here?"

"Kill the Guangming people!"

Although Tokugawa Tsunayoshi had never dealt with the Ming army and had never seen the flag of the new Ming Dynasty, this did not prevent him from recognizing the sun and moon flag.

In order to allow his navy to leave the port smoothly, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi had earlier ordered that all fishing boats should not go out to sea today.

The dishes are salted radish and pickled radish.

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi nodded with satisfaction.

Different from other simple and simple Kanbune and Atakabune ships around, the Tenchi Maru's painting can be described as gaudy.

"Hmph! This is just the Satsuma clan, and this general can destroy it easily!"

They heard that all the generals of Ming Dynasty were very rich!

He saw the bright sun and moon flag hoisted on ships at sea.

The entire hull was painted bright red and decorated with gold rims, and the outside of the upper deck was entirely covered with blue Hagotsu cloth with the Tokugawa family crest on it.

The food is really similar to that of their emperor.

The reason is similar to that of their Emperor Reigen. He can eat well while serving as a soldier!

But since the day the fort was built, it has never been put to use, and the warning bell has never been used. Even Tokugawa Tsunayoshi forgot that he still had these forts.

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, who was full of self-confidence, snorted coldly and led a group of retainers and generals towards his throne ship Tenchi Maru.

For them, white rice is a delicacy that they can only eat during the holidays, but now they can eat it every time.

It is 34 meters long, 7.6 meters wide, equipped with 76 oars, and has a maximum speed of 6.8 knots.

So now, under normal circumstances, there will be no ships on the sea.

"Warriors of the Japanese country, the stupid Ming people dare to come here to seek death! Now everyone board the ship immediately and crush these ridiculous Ming people with my general!"

"I'm afraid these little dwarfs didn't expect us to show up here!"

In the current period, although the Japanese country has begun to destroy a large number of mountains to create farmland for rice cultivation, it is still in its early stages.

It is obvious that the samurai class is only a small part of these soldiers, and the vast majority are light feet recruited from civilians.

Moreover, the battleships flying the Great Ming Riyue Flag were all black on the sea, as many as a hundred.

This Tenchi Maru was the largest warship in the entire Japanese navy after the Anzhai Maru was scrapped.

Compared with all the boys around, Tenchi Maru is definitely the brightest boy in the port.

For a moment, the Japanese soldiers stopped and looked curiously.

Edo Pier is crowded with people.

The Japanese country has its own divine wind protection. Even if the Ming army sends troops to reinforce it, how many reinforcements will there be?

To take a step back, even if the Ming army did come with reinforcements, the Japanese country would still have tens of millions of citizens.

"Dang Dang Dang..."

"Kill the Guangming people!"

The Ming Navy actually dared to come to die, which saved him a lot of trouble. Now as long as this Ming Navy is eliminated, the Satsuma Domain will be in the bag.

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi raised his arms and shouted, which immediately aroused countless echoes.

Many Japanese pirate soldiers howling loudly were even thinking about where they would look for treasures after they boarded the Ming Dynasty warship.

Zhu Tiangui smiled grimly.

If it had been in the past, when the difference in the number of ships between the two sides was so large, it would have been hard to tell the outcome.

However, the Ming Navy has 68-pound short heavy guns. In the past, suicide boats that could pose a serious threat to sail warships could sink a few ships with a single 68-pound bomb.

It is no exaggeration to say that they will kill as many as they come!
