Matsupan Jiro's words dispelled the doubts in the hearts of most people present.

The Zheng family has a close relationship with the Hirado family, which is well known. Emperor Yu of Takawa was nominally Zheng Zhilong's father-in-law. After Zheng Zhilong became rich, the Hirado family benefited a lot.

However, people more believe that the Zheng family was behind the scenes that Hirado wanted to take the lead in the fall of the curtain. It was not the Ming court. Perhaps the shogunate offended Zheng Yiguan in the handling of something, so the Zheng family had the idea of ​​using others to deal with the shogunate.

"Mr. Songpan, if the Ming Kingdom supports the fall of the curtain, what is their purpose? What measures will be used to prove it? What role does Your Excellency Zheng Yiguan play in it? If the fall of the curtain is successful, what will we get? What if it fails?"

Takafa, the head of the Fujido family, asked, "This series of questions resonated with others, and everyone's eyes were once again focused on Jiro Matsupan.

"You guys don't have to worry too much. The reason why Ming Kingdom supports us is because we value our goodwill to Ming Kingdom."

Jiro Matsupan, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, issued the Regulations of the vassal state, but did not receive a response from the shogunate. Only then did everyone here realize that the shogunate offended the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty in this matter. Although they had a ancestral teaching, they would not send troops to attack Japan, but they could use other means to get rid of this anger.

"The purpose of Ming Dynasty is to overthrow the shogunate, support a regime that is friendly to it, and jointly build a circle of common prosperity for Chinese civilization. If we successfully turn the curtain down, then all Japan will benefit greatly. The lords and families here will naturally be glorious. Do I have to say more about the benefits?

As for failure, that is impossible! With a strong backer like Ming Kingdom, we will never fail!

You just need to think about how sweet the fruit of victory is! Why not do such a good thing?

The Master Zheng Zhilong, the Marquis of Jinghai of Ming Kingdom, has become a favorite minister of His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Kingdom. The Zheng family is mainly responsible for contacting the central government and promptly report the progress of the situation to the senior management of the country so that they can provide us with necessary assistance at critical moments.

In order to boost the morale of all lords, I decided that Hirado will provide you with armed support. Each family will obtain 100 iron cannons, 20 rounds of bullets, 30 armor, twenty shields, and 30 spears. What do you think?"

Jiro Matsupan was vague about the aid measures provided by Totoki Tsuyoshi, and turned directly to throw out the Hirado clan's pie. This move really worked. The daimyos were immediately excited about Jiro Matsupan's big moves and ignored the aid provided by the Ming Dynasty.

Jiro Matsupan and several retainers had already discussed that since they had obtained excellent equipment from the Ming Dynasty, if they did not bring out some real materials to others, even if this anti-scene alliance was established, it would be like a mess. If they wanted to succeed, the Hirado family must have the demeanor of being the leader, which would be more conducive to the Hirado family's issuance of orders.

There were less than 3,000 samurai who could take advantage of the Matsupan family, including 400 iron cannons. Due to the Ming Dynasty's assistance to 500 muskets, Jiro Matsupan decided to expand the iron cannon team and add 200 iron cannons, leaving 450 muskets, and the remaining fifty muskets were given to the most closely related Ikeda family, and the iron cannons replaced by Tao were given to other daimyos.

The same is true for other equipment.

In addition to the powerful muskets, the other weapons donated by the Ming Dynasty this time are not even more powerful than the daily equipment of Hirado samurai.

The spears more than ten feet long are made of good white wax poles, and the spear heads are made of steel, and they are specially made of armor-breaking. The leather armor, rattan armor and bamboo armor worn by the Hirado samurai were like paper in front of the spear heads, and they could penetrate it as soon as they were pierced.

However, the Japanese spear used by the samurai basically poses no threat to the Ming Dynasty armor and cannot be stabbed in at all, which makes the Japanese samurai very happy.

Because the long spear used by the shogunate army they will face in the future is the same as they are now. As long as they are wearing Ming armor, it means that their survival rate on the battlefield will be greatly improved. Who doesn’t like this kind of treasure?

It is just a pity that the Ming Dynasty armor was too big, and most Japanese samurai with an average height of more than 1.5 meters cannot be worn. Jiro Matsupan ordered the selection of the highest-sized samurai to use to fight against the formation. In the end, less than 200 people were selected. In the end, Yuhuang Takawa came up with an idea. He proposed to modify the remaining armor to try to allow more samurai in the Hirado clan to wear armor as soon as possible.

In comparison of bows and arrows, the Ming military-style archery bow also has an absolute advantage compared to the short-shot bows used by Japanese samurai. However, this archery bow with nearly one stone requires a strong archer to pull it open. After the final selection, only more than 80 archers from Hirado family were able to pull this long bow. The remaining more than 100 pieces were also taken out this time, and Jiro Matsupan was distributed to each daimyo and could also make a favor.

The arrows used in the insurgent bow of the Ming Dynasty were only triangular long arrows, and the steel arrows were used to break armor with great effect. After checking these weapons one by one, the confidence of Hirado family was greatly increased.

With so many powerful tools in hand, it would be a great humiliation if it was as frustrated as before.

Japanese people who advocate the spirit of Bushido attach great importance to reputation. In order to maintain this honor, many samurai sacrifice their lives.

"When you leave Hirado, I will arrange manpower and vehicles to secretly send the weapons to the vassal states. However, before the uprising, I hope you will keep the secrets strictly and do not disclose them to outsiders!"

This is also the meaning of the question, and everyone nodded and responded.

"Jirou, then how do you plan to do something? This matter is quite a bit serious. Once you move forward, there will be no way out. You must plan carefully!"

Ikeda Hiromasa, who has always been cautious, once again reminded him.

"Himasato, please be content. This downward action will start with Kyushu. Our Hirado family will take the lead in the initiation of the cause. The target is one of the few relatives and master names on Kyushu Island!

Tian Chuanjun, come and explain it in detail to you all!"

Jiro Matsupan responded to Hiromasa Ikeda with a smile and ordered Emperor Yu of Takawa to explain to everyone the strategy of the Hirado family's downfall.

In this plan, Hirado clan will take the lead in attacking and killing the garrison commander, Minfu and his escort, while Daming, who attended the meeting today, will remain silent.

After the news spread, the shogunate would definitely send the relatives of Kyushu in advance, and Daming of Kuada formed a coalition to suppress it. At that time, taking advantage of the empty rear of the coalition, the Daming of Kuadada, who participated in the uprising, immediately sent troops to plunder his nest and quickly spread the news to the front line of fighting. The coalition forces who learned this news would definitely have a great morale. The Hirado samurai, who had an absolute advantage in equipment, only one fierce attack would be at his fingertips.
