Tsurumara Castle.

As a survivor of fighting with the Ming army, Sakai fled back to Kagoshima. After more than ten days of sea hardship, he was so embarrassed that he didn't look like a samurai, not even a ronin, but more like a sailor who lived on the sea for many years.

So, Sakai felt embarrassed when he knelt there. Of course, another reason why he didn't dare to look up was that he was surrounded by Shimazu family officials.

The Shimazu family's important officials are not in the same vassal state, so it is difficult to get together. Today they all appear, which shows that what happened next is far more important than the news brought back by Sakai.

The old and important officials of the family knelt on the mat, waiting for the arrival of Tadaeyoshi, who was also the head of the Shimazu family, to arrive.

While Sakai was waiting anxiously, the wooden door behind him was suddenly slowly pulled open from both sides. Then the Satsuma lord, who was wearing sleeveless Haori and holding folding fans, Shimazu family, Tadaoshimazu, walked into the conference hall.

"The Lord of the Father!"

All the senior officials bowed to pay tribute to their governor, and Sakai even stuck his butt high. As a survivor of the battle with the Ming army, he had no sense of luck in front of the head of the family, but instead felt extremely depressed and fearful.

Tadaoshi Shimazu did not look sideways, and walked straight to the top cushion to sit down. The little surname who was serving beside him set off the robe of the head and silently retreated aside.

"You know the matter?"

Tadatoshi Shimazu's skin was slightly dark, his eyebrows were thick, but his eyes looked like women, and his voice was not loud when he spoke. However, no senior officials present would regard their master as a lord with a woman's heart, but instead had a fear of their lord like Sakai.

Not long ago, Zhongheng had just eliminated the second-ranked Satsuma vassal second-ranked figure, the country's old Ijiyuan, and his son Ijiyuan, and then suppressed the Zhongdong clan who raised the anti-bank in the country. The heroic and courageous and ruthlessness he showed are still scary.

"Sir, we already know."

The person who spoke was to replace Tadao Ijiyuan as the old Shimizu Yuichi, a country in the Satsuma vassal state. This position was equivalent to the prime minister of the Chinese dynasty.

Due to the alternation of shogunate participation, the old family who manages the houses of various vassals in Edo is called the old family. The old family who is in the territory of the vassal state is called the old family, and the old family is in the home.

The old country has a higher status than the old Edo family. The one with the highest status in the family is called Bito family, the old leader, and the old family. The old family who manages the administration of the territory is called Shizhi family.

Therefore, the country's old man, Shimizu Yui, is also the old man of the Shimazu family. This important official who grew up with Tadao Shimazu was the most staunch supporter of Tadao Shimazu. It was him who led his troops to kill Tadao Ijiyuan, the former family's old man.

"So, sir, does this mean that the Ming people have completely occupied Ryukyu?"

The question was about the Renzhi family Laojiao Village. He had always been in charge of internal affairs and was not very clear about Ryukyu and military affairs.

"So that's it."

Tadaoshi Shimazu waved his folding fan and everyone sat upright.

"Hayama-kun?" Okamura's expression was shocked.

Tadaoshi Shimazu did not say anything, and the senior officials who were here who knew the details also remained silent. Okamura understood and his face became very dim.

"Sakura, did the envoys of the Ming people lie that their emperor really sent a large army?" The old Noriyata from Yiban family said in a muffled voice.

"Sir, I haven't seen the Ming people's army, but their navy is very powerful..." Sakai once again told the story of the battle with the Ming Navy in the Ryukyu waters that day.

"What do the people of Mingguo want to do?" Okamura was a little unbelievable, "Do they really want to cross the sea to expedition to Satsuma?"

Kiyomizu said: "Okamura-kun, the army of the Ming Kingdom has occupied Ryukyu, and their fleet is approaching Kagoshima. All this shows that they are really going to attack Satsuma."

"I really can't believe how could the emperor of Ming Dynasty mobilize a large number of troops for the small Ryukyu?" Okamura murmured.

"Yes, when Guan Bai attacked Korea, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not send troops to expedition to our Japan, but today it is really hard to understand." Osatani also found this incident ridiculous.

"No matter what the emperor of Ming Dynasty thinks, their army is under our noses." Shimazu Tadao opened the folding fan, was silent for a moment, and said, "It seems that my father opposed me to attack Ryukyu back then. I didn't expect that Ming Dynasty attached so much importance to Ryukyu. If I knew they would send troops, I would not let Kazuya Jun go. But the matter has already happened. I have a great responsibility as the vassal lord. I will not shirke this, but I need your opinions on the next thing."

"Sir, Mr. Huashan finally took Ryukyu for us. We cannot let him fall into the hands of the Ming people. I think we should send troops to retake it back immediately." Nanya Tai and Huashan Kugao had a deep relationship, and instinctively wanted to avenge him.

"Yes, sir, we cannot lose Ryukyu!"

The other important officials expressed their opinions one after another, and their opinions were quite unanimous, believing that all forces in the vassal states should be mobilized immediately to send troops to retake Ryukyu and drive the Ming army back.

It is not surprising that the senior officials and the elderly have such a unified opinion. After all, the things plundered from Ryukyu for so many years have been very helpful to the development of Satsumaban. And if Ryukyu is given up at this time, where will the Shimazu family be saved? Will General Hidetachi, the newly succeeded throne, mock the Shimazu family for being incompetent?

"Everyone, do you think we have the strength to fight the Ming army?"

Qingmizu Xiuyi looked at the important officials who advocated sending troops. As the old man of the country, he knew very well that the heart of the vassal lord was definitely not as what the important officials hoped.

The old and important officials of the family stopped talking and looked at the head of the family.

But Tadahoshi Shimazu did not express his opinion on whether to send troops, but instead said to himself: "Why did the Ming army call itself the Imperial Army?"

Miura, the important official in charge of Satsuma intelligence, bowed her head with some guilt and said, "Sir, I'm really sorry, I've learned nothing about the Ming army."

The deputy general of the Shimazu family's main formation, I thought about it for a while, and said, "Sir, I seem to have heard of this imperial army somewhere."

"oh?"

Tadahoshi Shimazu was refreshed.

"Ah, I remembered it!"

One thing I remembered was that a leaflet incident occurred in Hinata last year.
