Zheng Zhilong was hiding behind Juji Island, less than a hundred miles away from Tsushima Island. All the people who implemented the Japanese strategy this time gathered here, including more than 20,000 Japanese pirates led by Hong Xu and Gan Hui, more than 20,000 alien pirates led by Shi Daxuan, a group of Jinyiwei masters led by Wang Zhengnan, and 50,000 main forces of the Nanyang Navy led by Zheng Zhihu. There were no less than 1,000 warships of all sizes gathered in the bay behind Juji Island. If Matsuura knew about it, he would be scared to have urine.

Zheng Zhilong naturally would not let the Matsuura clan notice that there were so many people gathered here. Shi Daxuan, Hong Xu and Gan Hui had long disguised as pirates and blocked the sea surface around them. Whether it was Japanese or Korean, whether it was merchant ships or fishing boats, as long as they fought here, they were all detained, and no news could be spread. Well, it seemed that they were pirates, so there was no need to pretend to be. In short, Zheng Zhilong was secretly hiding here, preparing to implement Zhu Cijiong's series of plans to deal with Japan.

The first step in the Japanese strategy was to seize the protection power of the Matsuura clan. After the Takawa clan convinced his father, the list of retainers and address of the Matsuura clan were soon sent to Zheng Zhilong.

It is really ridiculous to say that these Japanese people are able to establish a country in one county or several counties. There are only more than 100,000 people in total, but there are a lot of high-ranking officials. For example, the Matsuura clan has 17 or 8 retainers who have "held power". What a good head, the general, the city lord, the old man, and the title is strange.

If we add the Matsuura family's contemporary governor Takanobu Matsuura and his two sons Matsuura Shinnobu Matsuura, Nobusato Matsuura, and there are about twenty more powerful people in the Matsuura family than Takawa Yuhuang. Of course, no matter how many of them are, they will die!

After Zheng Zhilong got the list, he summoned Zheng Zhihu, Wang Zhengnan, Shi Daxuan, Hong Xu, Gan Hui and other generals to discuss the assassination. There were more than twenty targets, which was a bit beyond Zheng Zhilong's expectations. There were not many masters among his pirates, and it was really difficult to assassinate so many targets at one time. Fortunately, Zhu Cijiong had already made arrangements to send Wang Zhengnan.

Wang Zhengnan's men are experts, and he has almost selected all the people who can fight in the Jinyiwei. He can practice hard without taking the task. His skills are not a blowjob. Assassination is their training subject. Just picking it up can lead to one or two hundred assassination masters.

After discussing for a while, everyone decided that Wang Zhengnan would personally lead 200 Jinyiwei masters to implement the assassination plan. Each of the retainers of the Matsuura clan sent ten Jinyiwei masters, while Wang Zhengnan personally led 20 Jinyiwei masters to kill Matsuura Takanobu, Matsuura Zhen Nobunobu and Matsuura Nobusashi Matsuura's family.

Speaking of which, the Jinyiwei under Wang Zhengnan is all authentic Ming people. In Japan, let alone going to kill people, they may be exposed every minute on the way to kill people, because they don’t speak Japanese at all, and they are not familiar with the territory of the Matsuura clan, and they can’t even tell where they can’t find it!

What should I do? This is naturally not a problem for Zheng Zhilong. Among his pirates, there are many Hirado. Just find some people to guide them. He also prepared a lot of gifts. At that time, let Emperor Yu of Tianchuan take them to deliver them one by one and identify the targets clearly. It is absolutely impossible to be wrong.

After everyone finished the plan, Zheng Zhilong sent a few Japanese pirates to teach Wang Zhengnan to speak Japanese dialect with his 200 Jinyiwei masters, and also trained Japanese etiquette. Well, it seems a bit outrageous. Can you learn Japanese dialect in a short time? Is it a bit too late to come to teach now?

Actually, it’s not that complicated. They all play with their subordinates. Basically, they just need to learn one word, and there are not so many etiquettes. Simply put, it’s just nodding and bowing and then: “Hayi.” For example:

"come over."

"Hayi."

"Take things over."

"Hayi."

"Baga."

"Hayi."

............

During this period, the retainers of the Matsuura family, including the head of the Matsuura Nobutaka, praised Takawa Yuhuang at the intersection. He was so generous. He brought more than a dozen subordinates to the houses of gifts one by one every day. The gifts were extraordinary. They were high-end cloth, silk, tea, porcelain, dried fruits from the Ming Dynasty... If calculated based on the market price, he gave each retainer tens of thousands of taels of silver, and the gifts given to the host family were worth no less than 100,000 taels!

In the words of Emperor Yu of Tianchuan, these were given to him by his son-in-law, and he had no relatives, and he couldn't use them all at all, so he just took them out and distributed them to everyone. He was such a good person.

This Tagawa Yuhuang is not ordinary. After all the retainers near Hirado were sent, he took people to Iki Island and Tsushima Island, and visited the retainers on the two islands one by one, with a lot of gifts.

No one noticed that the servants he brought were different every time. Although these servants didn't say a word, they were all looking around secretly. Moreover, the expression of Tianchuan Yuhuang was also very wrong, and there was always a hint of guilt and reluctance in his eyes. His expression did not seem to be giving gifts to others, it was clearly here to see them off!

September 18, 8th year of Chongzheng, this day was not a special day. At least for the people of the Ming Dynasty and Japan, this day had no special meaning, but for Zhu Cijiu, who had traveled through time, September 18, it had special meaning, because three hundred years later, a tragic history came on a certain September 18th.

In the dark, there is God's will. It was also on September 18 that Zheng Zhilong launched it.

That night, the moon was hanging high, and within ten steps, even the expression on the face could be clearly seen. It was a good moon night. Even if you don’t use the lights, you don’t have to worry about admitting the wrong person.

Teams of men in black sneaked into the residences of the Matsuura ministers through the moonlight. They made no noise and covered their heads and headed straight to the bedrooms of the retainers. The people they met along the way, whether they were guards or slaves, had a knife on their way. The speed was fast and they didn't even have time to react. A flash of cold light and a knife was killed.

The retainers went there silently, and even their heads, Nobut Matsuura and the two young masters, did not escape the misfortune, and all of them were different from each other.

These people are simply outrageously skilled, basically killing them with one knife. The mansions of more than ten retainers did not even scream. Of course, there are exceptions here. The Matsuura family's home, Laodachuan Yu, was not silent. The fight there was very fierce, and in the end, it even alarmed the defenders of Hirado Castle.

When the defenders of Hirado Castle rushed to the residence of Yuhuang Takawa when they heard the news, the assassin had already escaped, leaving only a few bodies without having time to take them away, the old man Yuhuang Takawa was hiding among the pile of guards in his pajamas and shouted loudly: "What's wrong with you? Why did you let so many assassins sneak into Yuhuang Takawa? Hurry up and chase them, why are you still standing here!"

There were no big shots in the defenders. The leader was just a slight and high-headed general, equivalent to the team leader, and was not at the same level as Emperor Yu of Tianchuan. They kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, Lord Tianchuan, it's our dereliction of duty. Let's go and chase it now."

Where to chase? This is a question. They didn't even see the assassin's shadow at all. How did they know which direction the assassin was running? In the end, these little minions had no choice but to ask their heads and generals to see how to deal with this matter.

As a result, they were all dead! There was no way, so they had to ask the head of the family, and the head of the family also died! Soon, news came one by one, and all the retainers of the Matsuura clan in Hirado Castle were killed!

Who did it? It seems that there is no need to check this, because at this moment, there are many notices in every family, that the Lord loves the world, protects peace, and that the Lord is with us, and there are a lot of chaos.

It seems that it was done by the Amankashima Ikki, but is that the truth?

Since all the retainers and heads of the family were killed, the young leaders of the Hirado Castle defenders gathered in the Yuhuang Mansion of Laodachuan. There were just a few assassin's corpses here. Who did it? Perhaps the answer could be found on these corpses.

Emperor Yu of Tianchuan had already woken up from his panic and changed into the formal attire of his family. Under his leadership, everyone carried the assassin's body into a large square and carefully checked it.

The clothes were nothing special, they were all ordinary night clothes, and the weapons were nothing special, they were all ordinary samurai swords. They had a stack of paper in their arms, and the notices written on them were similar to those found in the homes of other retainers. They were all the same as those of them who loved the world and blessed peace...

There seems to be no clue, it seems that it was done by the Ikki of Amakura Island, but no one thinks so. The lie, these assassins are all masters, and the guards of other retainers' residences were killed without even reacting, and they were all killed with one blow. Where did so many masters come from insurrection? They need so many masters, just kill the shogunate general Tokugawa Ikun directly. As long as the Tokugawa Ikun is killed, the shogunate army will definitely retreat. The siege of Shimahara Castle will naturally be untied. What does it mean to run to the irrelevant Matsuura family to kill them indiscriminately?

Just as everyone was at a loss, a samurai team leader suddenly shouted, "I have seen this person. He is from the shogunate army on Shimahara. When I went there to do business last time, they stopped him and checked him. By the way, Ichiro, Ichiro, you were there last time too. Remember that he doesn't, just stand behind their team leader."

At this time, another samurai team leader came up and took a closer look, then shouted: "It's him, and this is also the same. These people are from the shogunate!"

Of course, these were the people in the shogunate army. Zheng Zhilong sent someone to Shimahara Castle to secretly kill and send them. And these were the people responsible for the investigation of Hirado's peripheral direction.

Feiqianguo is only as big as a few counties, and Hirado is a trading city. Many of these small leaders have been to the vicinity of Shimahara City for official or private matters. They have been investigated to a greater or lesser extent. These people ran up and took a closer look. Aren’t they the ones who investigated them?

Now everyone was in a panic. It turned out that it was done by the Tokugawa shogunate. If you take revenge, you must seek revenge on them.

Just when everyone was indignant, Yuhuang Tianchuan stood up and said indignantly: "The Tokugawa family is too much. It is not enough to secretly suppress our Matsuura family for so many years. Now, we have sent people to assassinate our heads and all the servants. If I hadn't been protected by my son-in-law's family, I would have been killed by them. This revenge must be avenged. I am willing to take out my savings for many years and the million taels of silver given to me by my son-in-law, recruit soldiers and go to the Tokugawa family to take revenge."

At this time, it was time to share the same hatred of the enemy, and there were immediately a few people who were very proud of themselves. The general of the servant stood up to support Emperor Yu of Takawa as the guardian and led everyone to seek revenge on the Tokugawa family. However, some people suggested that the generals and the city lord of the servant of Iki Island, Tsushima, and the generals of the Takawa family and the city lord should wait for them to come back and discuss before making a decision.

Zheng Zhilong had already arranged this, so they naturally couldn't come back. The next day, the news came back that the generals and the city lord were all killed! The head and retainers were all killed, who would lead? Of course, it was the only remaining old man, Lao Tianchuan Yuhuang!
