Nagasaki Castle.

Among the Kyushu vassal states, only Nagasaki was directly affiliated with the shogun, and there were special shogun officials who managed the city.

The mansion in Nagasaki is still singing and dancing, and it looks like singing and dancing to the point of peace.

It seems that they are not having a nervous siege, but a wakamian competition.

"Walking out of Tianerpu, the silver light poured into the blue sky.

Fuji Kaori Mountain is covered in snow.”

Unlike the sad Shimahara Castle sings the works of "Japanese Du Fu" Yamashita Irira, the waka songs of Yamabe Akagi, known as "Japanese Li Bai".

There are singers dancing fans in the hall, and famous kendo masters dancing swords.

These famous masters have a lot of background, so I will introduce them one by one later.

All of you here are noble samurai class, most of whom are at least above the city lords. They have black hats, chrysanthemum knots, chest knots, and iconic knots under the wide cuffs, all reflect their noble identities.

Two people were sitting in the main seat.

On the left is a tall and thin samurai in his early forties. He is one of the most trusted old masters around Tokugawa Iemitsu. He has been with him since he was a child. This time, the general of the siege, Matsuhira Nobutsu.

The one on the right is nearly 60 years old, gray-bearded, moderate-shaped, straight, with a serious expression and a look of indifference.

Yoshiyo Soju, the descendant of the "Xinyinliu" kendo, the kendo teacher of Tokugawa Iemitsu, is now the shogunate presided over the supervision of all officials. The "Daome Fu" of the vassal state is actually the intelligence chief of the Tokugawa shogunate, the spy chief, and the first vassal lord of the Yagyu vassal.

Most of the remaining ones were the Danames of various vassal states that led heavy troops to encircle and suppress the Ikki power. The important ones were:

Tadaoki Hosokawa, Mitsusaki Hosokawa and Shinsaka Hosokawa, and Ishitaka Kumamoto's family, and 540,000 shi, have now led 20,000 troops to siege the city.

Katsushima of the Saga family, Katsushima, is the father of Daming (the Daming is only a few years old now) involved in the "Demon Cat Legend" in Japanese history. Ishigao brought 15,000 soldiers to siege the city.

Tadayuki Kuroda from the Fukuoka clan, Ishitaka, led 20,000 troops to participate in the siege.

Tadaoshi Shimazu, Shimazu Kokuha and his son, Shimazu Kokuha, and Shimazu 770,000 stones (including Shigao from some Ryukyu Islands), led 30 warships and 5,000 infantrymen to participate in the siege.

Matsuura Toshi of Hirado, Matsuura is a father and son, and led twenty warships to participate in the siege.

Tadashi Ogasawara of Ogura, the attendant of Miyamoto Iori, Ishitaka, led 150,000 troops to participate in the siege.

The lord of Shimahara sanctuary Matsukura Katsuya and the lord of Kazushi Tanzin, Kentaka, were also here. The two of them were closely related to the rebellion of Shimahara and Amakura, and they were also going to be punished after the war, but now they are trembling with the last seat.

There are still Kurumi and other vassals, so I will not go into details here.

In addition to these people, there are still a few people who need to introduce them.

Christopher Cole, the business representative stationed in Hirado of the Dutch East India Company, came to participate in bombarding two armed merchant ships (Peden and Debor, the names of these two warships were written in historical materials as "Peden" and "Daili dial", which is changed to be easy to call here) and was contacted by him.

A thirty-five-year-old Dutchman from Horen, a commercial town on Lake Marken.

There are still a few people who are not famous or retainers or attendants, but their reputation cannot be underestimated at the moment. I will introduce them one by one here.

Miyamoto Musashi, the adoptive father of Miyamoto Iori, the famous kendo master, is now dancing in the field. When he looked carefully, he was holding a piece of white cloth on his head, and there was still blood on the white cloth. A few days ago, when he followed Okurafan to attack Shimahara Castle, he was hit by the flying stones in the city. Later, he claimed that he "had the only defeat in his life" was.

Miyamoto Musashi is fifty-four years old this year, but there is no trace of aging in terms of spirit and face.

There was also an old man with white hair and beards on the sword. He looked like he was probably in his seventies or eighties, but his figure was still straight. He teased each other from time to time with the female girl who was dancing, looking like a "martyr in his old age, he was full of ambition."

Togo was a senior rank, Satsumafan's Kendo teacher, founder of the "Zhutu Sect", and ancestor of Togo Hirahachiro.

There was also a slightly younger samurai in the field, about her early thirties, wearing black clothes, one eye mask, and her solemn aura was no less than those of the two sword masters.

Yagyu Shibuwei, the eldest son of Yagyu Soju, is said to have his eyes blinded by the other party when he was a teenager when he was competing with his father in a sword.

The most famous swordsmen in the early Edo period, everyone gathered in the small Nagasaki Castle. If Nikan were here, he would definitely have a different idea (of course, it was not to recruit, but to destroy the group).

Now they are all near Shimahara Castle and have only one target.

Eliminate the Ikki powers who are in their eyes!

Although Yagyu Tokio is the son of Omefu Yagyu Soju, he is now the guardian of Matsuhira Nobutsu, the old shogunate master, now the highest-ranking guard of Matsuhira Nobutsu.

Matsuhira Nobuzu had learned the reality of the Ikki power, so he could let go and be happy.

"Smack it..."

As Matsuhira Nobuzu stood up and clapped his hands, the music and dance in the venue ended immediately.

"You guys..."

"I will decide that the general offensive will begin tomorrow morning!"

Before he finished speaking, a fully dressed warrior outside the hall ran in a small step. He came to the center of the hall and knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "General General, there is a person outside the door, saying that he wants to meet General General."

"who?"

"Yaniangawa Shizuo!"

Unlike causing a commotion in Shimahara Castle, this name did not cause any disturbance among everyone here.

Yes, although Yanagawa Shizuo is very good at swordsmanship, he is just an adopted son of a retainer from Tsushima, and he does not come from a famous swordsman. His master is a hermit from Ouyu Mountain, a country in the north.

In today's Japan, just like the Wakao school, there are many genres of kendo, and only a few of them can become famous. The Scholar Yanagawa Shizuo obviously has not entered the eyes of the Daming of the important vassal states.

However, others don’t know, and it is impossible for Hirado Matsuurato, the father and son, who are here, to know. When they hear this name, the father and son’s faces change a little.

After Matsuura Touki introduced Yanagawa Shizuo's life experience to Matsuura Nobuzu, Matsuura Nobuzu couldn't help but curl his lips, "The adopted son of a small vassal retainer actually wants to meet the head of the general's elder family?"

"Cough cough", Matsuura Dong coughed lightly, "General General, this person is now working for Hanhaiguo in Jeju Island."

"Oh?", Matsuhira Nobuzu calmed down and the Tokugawa shogunate had also conducted a careful investigation into the changes in Jeju Island in recent years.

Finally, the Minfu organization led by Yoshinori Soju came to a conclusion.

"This country is located north of the Qing Dynasty, adjacent to the Yaksha Kingdom, which was legendary in the Tang Dynasty. However, it suddenly rose more than ten years ago. It was powerful in combat and proficient in firearms and shipbuilding techniques. Even the Qing Dynasty, which has always been powerful, could not resist it. The leader was less than 30 years old. Although he was born in a jungle barbarian, he was a Han man and unified the land of the northern part of the desert in just over ten years."

"Through history, those who can dominate the northern desert mostly rely on elite riders to win, but those who have never had elite riders and craftsmanship are equally important. According to the Dutch intelligence, the technology of this country is almost the same as that of Europe, or it may be able to win."

Such information was naturally obtained by Matsuhira Nobutsu, the leader of the family.

Although he was unhappy, he said, "Please!"

...

Yanagawa Shizuo came in, wearing a black cotton samurai suit, chrysanthemum knot, chest, and dew, and there was no one left. His head was still eye-catching. If he wasn't working for Hanhai Kingdom, Matsuhira Nobutsu would definitely scold him for the dare to usurp the cotton-style clothes that only the vassal lords and officials could wear.

In Japan's history, many people were ordered to cut off their own clothes because of their incompatibility.

He had just come out of Shimahara Castle and came to Nagasaki Castle with his identity as an envoy of the Hanhai Kingdom. He had just experienced the amazing tragic situation in the Haraki Castle, but he saw Fenghua and Xueyue in Nagasaki Castle. It would be impossible to say that he had no emotion in his heart.

He was a person who had been in the Qing Dynasty in Liaodong. In comparison, Hanhai Country was undoubtedly the most peaceful and prosperous. Thinking of this, I felt a little proud.

As soon as he stepped into the hall, if the original boy from Tsushima had seen so many kings, city lords, and big figures of the shogunate, he would have been trembling and sweating.

But now it is different. He is the envoy of the Hanhai Kingdom. When he thinks of the powerful country standing behind him and the wise and peaceful Maharaja, he can't help but feel strong confidence.

However, most of you here still responded to him with contempt.

"Who is coming?"

Although the national strength of Japan was not as strong as it was hundreds of years later, it still had strong confidence. Although it was about expelling the Spanish, Portuguese, and British, although they were determined to drive out the Catholic Church, they dared to offend these people at the same time, which still showed their confidence (At this time, Japan had sent people to Europe with the Dutch and conducted field inspections).

Therefore, although the Hanhai Kingdom rose in the northern border, it was no big deal for them.

"Yaniang Jingyun, the family general of the King of Hanhai Kingdom, the fourth-rank General Mingwei, licked as the envoy of the king, and came to visit you all."

"You?" At this time, the famous kendo master Yanyu Soju stood up.

"You are not qualified yet"

Yanagawa Shizuo still kept smiling, "Of course, I'm just making an outpost and I'm just here to wait."

"who?"

"The brother of the Great Lord of Hanhai Kingdom, the governor of the Special Prefecture of Jeju, is from the third rank Sun Xiulin, Lord Sun"

"ah?!"

Everyone present was shocked. If Yanagawa Shizuo didn't lie, compared to Japan, this person's identity is at least Tokugawa Iemitsu's brother. According to official positions, he would at least be an old man!

Nagasaki Castle is built on the beach. If Sun Xiulin wants to come, he must have come from the sea.

Matsuhira Nobuzu's eyes rolled a few times, and he turned his eyes to Cole.

As the business representative of the Dutch East India Company in Japan, Kerr naturally has been to Jeju Island and is also familiar with Sun Xiulin.

But in his heart, he never wanted the Sauronians to get involved in this matter.

So he said, "General General, this is true, but I heard that the vast sea country was hanging alone in the wilderness, with less than one million mouths..."

With Yanagawa Shizuo present, he said quietly from Matsuhira Nobuzu.

Unexpectedly, Matsupi Nobusu had already learned these messages.

"Go! Go to the pier and take a look"

Today, Japan does not allow the Spaniards, Portuguese, and British to enter and leave the country. They also implement "red seal" management for ships traveling to and from the Ming Dynasty. However, there is no unified regulation on how to deal with ships in the Hanhai Kingdom, and Suna and others did not pay enough attention to it.

However, thinking that he was the governor of the first government and the brother of the king, he could not neglect it anymore, Matsupita Nobutsu decided to go to the dock to greet him in person.

(Most of all Japanese regulations still use a set learned from the Tang Dynasty. Although there have been slight changes, the position and grade still have traces of the Tang Dynasty. They still value family background and grade very much)

Seeing this, Matsuhira Nobuzu and the others were not only stunned.

I saw a large group of ships sailing from the sea in the distance.

Each of the ships is like Satsumaban, the most powerful Satsumaban, the Hirado family, and the largest Guan Shi, which is even larger, among which five are particularly huge.

Five new ships with copper-skinned bottoms, thirty Sahalian I and II ships, and dozens of turtle ships.

This is not a mission to negotiate, it is clearly a demonstration!
