Japan has had a tradition of building cities since the Warring States Period. Daqin names in various places, namely the powerful, would build castles at dangerous places on their territory to protect themselves and their surrounding people.

Kagoshima is actually not the name of Shimazu's main city. Kagoshima is just a castle town, and Yamankawa Port is the name of the harbor. The castle where Shimazu's family owners lived in the past dynasties was located in the north of Kagoshima Castle.

Like most Japanese big city, this inner city is tall and sturdy and attaches great importance to military and practicality. Strong boulders wrap the city foundation, the wide moat attracts living water, and the snow-white walls are densely filled with empty shots.

This sturdy castle protected the Shimazu family for more than 400 years. Under such a long feudal rule, the inner city had a very strict order of superiority and inferiority, as well as countless rules.

The Japanese nation respects rules very much. Sometimes this characteristic is so serious that it is perverted. In the city where the head of the family lives, no loud noise is allowed. Even maids have strict rules when walking, and their feet must be moved against the ground, just like a female ghost floating.

There were also those escort warriors, who were even more arrogant and did not dare to breathe for a moment, for fear that the slightest sound would disturb the lord's life.

But no matter how perverted the rules are, some people will destroy them. Today, the guests from Ryukyu are typical rules destroyers. The scolding of Tianshou Pavilion is now so loud that the maids in the kitchen can hear it clearly.

"Hayama Riyuan, you are just the shame of Japanese samurai. In Ryukyu, you were beaten like a dog of a broken family in the prime minister. Why doesn't you care about your whole life in the refugee camp? Do you want to be shameless or shameless..."

"Baga, Baga..."

"Takenaga Inoue, you are a fish that misses the net. Don't think that you have avoided punishment in Ryukyu. You are a good person. We the people of Ryukyu see what you did before. You are also an invader..."

"Baga, Baga...how can you be ungrateful?"

"Shimazu Kukami, Shimazu Tadaoyi... You are the executioners who started the war. The people of Ryukyu will approve you sooner or later."

"Baga, Baga... It's so rude. Get out of the inner city. Satsuma's vassal is not welcome..."

...

The scolding was endless, and the very pure Satsuma accent was used. All the servants and soldiers in the inner city could hear it clearly.

Everyone was stunned. The Shimazu family dominated Kyushu and guarded the southernmost tip of the Japanese archipelago. In history, Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu could not do anything about the southwestern vassals. Today, four Ryukyu college students pointed at their noses and scolded them.

You should know that even the envoy of His Majesty the Emperor should be polite when he comes to meet the head of the Shimazu family. How could they ever encounter such insults?

Countless soldiers and warriors clenched their weapons angrily, and subconsciously wanted to rush up to kill these bold madmen; countless maids and servants were so scared that their faces turned pale and their hands and feet were left without a place, for fear that the conflict would vent their anger.

The entire inner city was already on the edge of a storm, and it was more like the eve of a volcano eruption. Everyone was waiting for the eruption of Shimazu Tadaoyi, as if the bodies of four college students were about to be dragged out in the next second.

However, the quarrel lasted for half an hour. In addition to scolding Baga, the important officials of the Shimazu family did not even dare to fist and kick. Countless soldiers and servants turned their attention to the sea. They knew that the lord surrendered under the threat of cannons.

Half an hour later, a low table flew out from the fence of Tianshou Pavilion. The debris on it fell like the scattered flowers of the Heavenly Girl. Everyone heard a bang, and the low table had already hit the ground and shattered.

"Get out, come on, blow these bastards out... expel them from Kagoshima, expel them from Yamakawa Port, expel them from Satsuma vassal..." Tadonico Shimazu finally broke out, and a group of samurai swarmed up and took Xiang Ying and others down the stairs with anger on their faces.

The negotiations eventually broke down, and everyone guessed the final outcome, and the Chinese did not even borrow a dozen gunpowder.

Xiang Ying walked in front with a pale face. After a while, she saw Liu Laoliu, who was drunk and blurred. The guy was almost asleep when he saw Xiang Ying and the others coming over, and he even reached out to make the drink.

"Get out, something embarrassing..." Lin Zhen rushed forward and kicked the drunk Liu Laoliu two big shots. He was about to continue hitting him, but Xiang Ying stopped him.

"Don't let people laugh at me, take him on the boat... I will be included in the death squad next time." A sentence has already destined Liu Laoliu's fate.

The gate of the inner city was closed tightly, and Xiang Ying and the others only had a pair of feet escorted them back to the sea. When the four of them turned around and looked at Tianshou Pavilion, they found that Shimazu Tadaoyi was standing at the railing and was also staring at them. There was a deep meaning in their eyes.

Xiang Ying and Shimazu Tadaoyi didn't know that in the residential area of ​​the inner city, several servants who fed horses and chopped firewood were writing small words on the chop wood with a carbon strip. In a short while, the chop wood with full characters was thrown out through the wall.

In the forest outside the wall, a group of civilians who collected bamboo shoots and mushrooms, such as mountain goods, have been busy for a long time. They were waiting for this information. Soon the piece of firewood turned into fuel in the wild bonfire, but the information had been transferred.

The rule of the Shimazu family seems to be not a monolithic. These important officials may never have dreamed that the slaughter who chopped firewood in the kitchen knew the words, and they were actually a group of detailed works.

When Xiang Ying and his friends walked through the entire Kagoshima Castle, they discovered the real deterrence of Western warships. At this time, the city town was already quiet, and the streets and alleys were filled with guards and samurai, staring carefully at the group of Ryukyu students who were disturbing the sky and the earth.

"Did you see it? This is the deterrent power of giant ships and cannons mentioned by the Prime Minister. As long as it is within the range of the cannon, all the principles are ours..." Xiang Ying said in a low voice.

Cai Bixia looked at the warships that were crowded in the harbor and said, "Yes, I don't know what the steel giant ship depicted by the Prime Minister looks like. I think it will be more powerful than the wooden warships."

"That's natural. I have recorded this hatred today. In the future, I have to bring the armored warships to block the mountain and river ports, and bombard Kagoshima..." Lin Zhen was as fanatical as ever.

Only Fatty Jin is good at being content with his own pleasure and said with a smile, "It's a waste, you're really a waste, why are you bombarding Kagoshima? I'm asking me to say that a cannon will be collected every day to charge protection fees and will not blow it up again..."

"Hahaha..." The four of them laughed arrogantly to the sky, and the soldiers around them were so shocked that they grabbed the weapons, especially the team of escorting them. They all understood the murderous threats of the four people. They all turned pale, but they didn't dare to turn against each other.

The Ryukyu visitors only stayed in the Shimazu family's territory for one morning, and in the end they didn't get what they wanted. They just threw down a bunch of harsh words and set sail.

Watching the warships slowly sail out of the mountain and river port and disappear at the end of the sea, the city finally regained its popularity. Citizens hiding in the mountains and forests returned home one after another, continuing to do business, continuing to work, and returning to normal order.

But in a foreign goods shop in the commercial area, several blonde and blue-eyed Europeans were still analyzing the accident today, and their faces were extremely serious.

"Everyone... we all came from the original European road. Our purpose is to make money, but if we want to make a lot of money, we must maintain the strong position of our Europeans in Asia. So no matter what our nationality is, at a critical moment, we must help the French..."

"Help, how do you help? Can we use our merchant ships to fight? What can our guns against pirates do? I'm afraid my ship is powerless."

"Yes, those Chinese can even capture a French cruiser, which shows that their combat effectiveness is still very strong. I have now believed in the news coming from Europe. Xiao Letian might really defeat the French."

"That's right, that's right...we are businessmen, and there's really only a limited amount of people who can help..."

At this time, the first merchant who spoke to him sighed, "Gentlemen, think about it, if the French occupy Ryukyu, then this group of French fleets will have an extra colony, and their warships will control the oceans of East Asia... We don't take advantage of this time to get along with them, will we wait for them to take revenge in the future?"

"God, you're right. Napoleon III has always had a bad temper, so they will definitely take revenge."

The crowd was talking all over the place, drinking coffee on the table as fast as boiled water.

At this moment, the closed door was knocked, and the local Japanese businessmen hired by foreigners walked in humbly. When they saw every foreigner bowing ninety degrees, they finally walked to the first foreign businessman to speak and whispered a few words.

"Hahaha, gentlemen, don't worry about your money and supplies anymore. I have found the best way to help the French...that is intelligence. I just got the latest news that the messengers of Ryukyu have broken down with the Shimazu family and they have been expelled..."

"God bless, this is really good news. Molière will be very happy when he hears it. He will be grateful to us. These lone wolf wandering outside have no combat power, and even our merchant ships are three points safe..."

The poor Shimazu family, although located at the southernmost part of the Japanese archipelago, can easily accept fresh Western things, but they also have their own hidden secrets, that is, the continuous infiltration of Western forces.

European businessmen have already established a secret intelligence network here, and the Shimazu family's defense network has long been exposed to countless loopholes. To be honest, even if Tadaoshi Shimazu sleeps at night, it can't hide it from these foreigners.

The Broken Waves sailed to the south, and countless merchant ships along the way avoided them. Only some bold fishermen came up to try to sell some seafood and food, begging these angry soldiers to be more generous and not to rob them with ugly looks.

Fortunately, Xiao Letian's new army had strict military disciplines and had no habit of eating for free. The four warships bought the goods of five fishing boats in vain, and they also welcomed several rare tourists from the fishing boats.

"Wang Huaiyuan, it's Lord Wang..."
