Toyotomi Kunimatsu didn't say a word!

Because he is afraid of death, he can be put in the position of "lord" and forced to take the blame, but with a mouth on his face, he can still protest silently without speaking at critical moments!

Since the Lord didn't speak, the meeting became a bit cold.

Shimazu Mitsuhisa and a group of loyal Toyotomi family ministers below were a little embarrassed, but Mitsuhisa's reaction was still very quick. He was the wise king of the Shimadzu family, and of course his mind was very fast. He immediately turned around and faced a group of disrespectful people.

The "Toyotomi loyal ministers" who knew what to do shouted: "His Highness has given the order! From today onwards, Toyotomi will rise again, and Tokugawa will be destroyed! We and other Toyotomi retainers will go to Luo in the name of the elder Toyotomi and bring down the emperor!"

!Onboard!Onboard”

What? The lord has already given the order? Why didn’t everyone hear it?

All the Toyotomi loyal ministers present suspected that there was something wrong with their ears. The master said so many words, but no one heard them. It was really inappropriate!

Fortunately, Shimazu Mitsuhisa has a good ear. It seems that he will be the one to relay the Lord's words from now on!

"Onboard! Onboard! Onboard"

Everyone reacted quickly and cheered along with Shimazu Mitsuhisa!

After a while, the Gochitiri flag and the golden gourd horse seal symbolizing the Toyotomi family appeared on the top of the inner castle of Bungo Prefecture.

Although it has been decades since the collapse of the Toyotomi family, the appeal of Toyotomi's name throughout Japan far exceeds that of Shimazu, which has always been limited to a corner of Kyushu!

After all, there is no way a powerful feudal lord like Choshu Mori would submit to Shimazu, even though Shimazu now controls four kingdoms and controls more than one million koku!

But Toyotomi said otherwise that the Toyotomi family was Shimadzu, the head of the Mori family, and the master of the world in Japan!

Therefore, the rebellion started by the Shimazu clan will inevitably spread to Japan's Honshu and Shikoku from the moment the Toyotomi flag is raised in Fuuchi Castle.

But this "Toyotomi Rebellion" is different from previous rebellions in Japan. This is a turmoil with the intervention of powerful foreign forces!

And for the first time, the feudal lords in Japan had a seemingly undefeated choice to join the forces of imperialism!

Goto Morikatsu of the Goto family has now boarded an imperialist warship, and has also met his old acquaintance Zheng Jiangong. Zheng Jiangong lived in Nagasaki in his early years and was the hostage and general representative of the "One Official Party" in Japan.

The territory of the Goto family is just off the coast of Nagasaki. Goto Morikasa also has a mansion in Nagasaki, and of course he is familiar with Zheng Jiangong.

Zheng Jiangong recognized Goto Shengsheng at a glance. Without waiting for the other party to decide whether to kneel down, he quickly went up to hold his hand and said to him in Japanese with a smile: "Goto-kun, yours, don't get me wrong.

Mine is a good friend of the shogunate. This time I was invited by the shogunate to lead the fleet to help the shogunate suppress the Shimazu rebellion!

The shelling just now was an overreaction by the captains below after being frightened by your shelling. They made their own decision and it was not the Chinese navy that wanted to invade Japan. It was a complete misunderstanding. You must not be afraid."

Yes, a few captains can blow up several forts along the Goto Bay coast with 24-pounder bombardment cannons on their own initiative? That's dozens of gunboats in a shelling formation, using ship's 24-pounder bombardment cannons.

Two to three hundred rounds of explosives were fired, and the scene was like the earth was shaking! It also killed more than a dozen feudal lords of the Goto Domain who were too brave, and also sunk all the Goto Domain ships parked in the bay. What if

With the planned invasion, is it time for the Goto family to perish now?

Was this really an accidental attack? Or was it a disincentive to the Goto family samurai?

Goshima Mikasa, who seemed to understand something, had already put on a grateful expression: "It's great that I finally got you here! You must be here to rescue Takako Hime from the Shogun's family, right? She is with His Highness Shitsugashi Masamune of the Aizu Domain.

Being stuck in Nagasaki Town, there is no way to go to the Ming Dynasty, and the defense of Nagasaki is very weak, they may be attacked by the Shimadzu rebels at any time!"

Zheng Jiangong was a little confused when he heard this, "Gao Ziji from the General's family? She is the adopted daughter of Dayuin? Why is she in Nagasaki with Masamune Hoshina? Could it be that she is the wife of Masamune Hoshina and accompanied her husband to Nagasaki?"

"No, no, Takahime and His Majesty Masakusa are brothers and sisters." Goto Morikasa shook his head quickly, "The general's family is sending Takahime to serve the emperor in the Ming Dynasty, and His Majesty Masakade is the personal envoy, and His Highness Mitsukuni from the Mito family is also there.

.However, because the Shimazu family caused rebellion in Satsuma, His Highness Mitsukuni was recalled by the shogunate, leaving only His Majesty Masamune and Takahime in Nagasaki."

"Oh" Zheng Jiangong nodded, thinking: The Tokugawa family also followed the example of the French and wanted to use a beauty trap against the emperor.

He paused and asked: "Tell me more, what is the current situation on Kyushu Island?"

Goshima Morikatsu said: "Your Excellency, the rebellion of the Shimazu family has now occupied Satsuma, Osumi, Hinata, Bungo Shikoku and the Higoto Yoshi domain, and has also found Toyotomi Kunimatsu, who is living in seclusion in the Higo Hinode domain, to bring down the curtain.

With the flag, the Toyotomi family has risen again!"

Zheng Jiangong was stunned: "What? Toyotomi Kunisong really exists!"

"What does it really mean?" Goto Shengsheng looked at Zheng Jiangong with some confusion, "This matter has been going on for more than ten years, you don't know, right?"

"I know, I know, but I didn't expect that Toyotomi Kunimatsu would really come to the stage!" Zheng Jiangong quickly changed his words. The truth he knew about the "Toyotomi Yitada" incident was different from what Goto Katsumori said!

Zheng Jiangong changed the topic and asked: "So what is the attitude of Hosokawa, Nabeshima, Kuroda, Tachibana, Arima and other powerful feudal lords in Kitakyushu? Who do they support?"

"No one has a superficial position and seems to be still waiting and watching," Goto Morikasa said. "Now only the Karatsu clan and the Shimabara clan have sent clan troops to Nagasaki. There are only 500 people in total. Nagasaki Noboru and His Majesty Masamune are almost dying of panic."

It's fine now, as long as the Chinese warships enter Nagasaki Port, there's nothing to worry about."

"Sail into Nagasaki Port?" Zheng Jiangong seemed to hesitate for a moment, "I brought ninety-two warships and sailed them all into Nagasaki. I'm afraid it will cause misunderstandings? How about this? I'll send five ships into Nagasaki first.

, how about the rest of the warships berthed in the North Five Islands Bay? In addition, some army troops came on my warships. Due to the bumps in the sea, they are not feeling well and need to go ashore to rest. Is it convenient? "

"Convenient, convenient, of course it's convenient! It's an honor for the Goto family to have the Chinese army rest in Goto!" How dare Goto Shengsheng say it's inconvenient? To say it's inconvenient, the cannons might have misfired again!

Besides, these Ming Dynasty naval warships were mostly island feudal lords invited by the Tokugawa Shogunate to assist them. Their own wealth was only twelve thousand koku. How dare they offend the Ming Dynasty and the Tokugawa Shogunate at the same time?

He was still hesitating about where to stand in the team? Now it's okay, just follow Da Mingchao, you can't go wrong!

Zheng Jiangong smiled and nodded. This Ming Dynasty who is still a good friend of Goto will not treat his friends badly. Once the Shimazu family is eliminated, he will encircle 350,000 to 50,000 stone on Shimazu's territory and reward the Goto family.

!

As for the name for the Goto Islands and Tanegashima to be occupied? Or is it Takahime's Tangmuyi?

After thinking of a name, Zheng Jiangong asked people to entertain Goto Morikatsu to visit the Flying Ship. Then he returned to the command room in the stern building and summoned his subordinates to start planning the next move.

The "Conquer Japan" operation has been going very smoothly so far!

Not only did the Ming army occupy the North Goto Bay, the most valuable part of the Goto Islands, "without a single blow" (just firing two to three hundred cannons), but they were also able to take advantage of the chaos and enter Nagasaki. Even if they only sent two battalions in, they could still gain something.

Huge benefits.

And the next step is Tanegashima and Sakurajima!
