The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 482 I Will Donate 100 Million Stones
One is Tianchuan Yuhuang, a close confidant of his father-in-law Matsuura Matsutaka, and the other two are a young man and woman.

The man is quite heroic, wearing a samurai uniform, but without a knife, and the woman is wearing a kimono, which is more beautiful, but both of them look bad, as if they have been malnourished for a long time.

"Let me introduce to you, this is the great Ming warrior, General Ding Yiding."

"Greetings to General Ding." Both men and women bent down meekly, at a [-]-degree angle. These two people can't speak Chinese, and they speak Japanese, which was translated by Tagawa.

"Ding Yi, this is Samurai Emon from the Shimabara Peninsula, and this is Amakusa Haruka, the daughter of a village chief on Amakusa Island."

Ding Yi's face straightened, and Matsuura Matsutaka sent two urgent calls, it seemed that something happened.

"Mr. Tian Chuan is like my uncle, everyone is my own, what's the matter?" Ding Yi said, Tian Chuan Yu Huang's face showed a satisfied smile.

He said a few words to Eemon, and Eemon spoke quickly.

Ding Yi didn't understand Japanese either, so he could only pretend to be listening with a smile on his face, Eemon said something, and Tagawa translated it.

At this time, he found that Tiancao Chunxiang was looking at him from time to time.

Amakusa Haruka is very beautiful. Although she is not as beautiful as Seka, she is also at the level of Tagawa Matsu, but she is petite, only about 1.5 meters.

Her eyes are relatively big, and when Ding Yi was listening, her eyes were fixed on Ding Yi, not shy at all.

When Ding Yi looked at her from the corner of his eye, and met her gaze, Amakusa Chunxiang smiled and did not dodge, but the light in his eyes seemed to become brighter.

Ding Yi was a little embarrassed, and quickly looked at Youemon.

At this time, he had heard the general idea.

Tagawa said that the two islands of Shimabara and Amakusa are territories near Nagasaki.

The current feudal lord of Shimabara is called Matsukura Katsuya. Since he took over the fiefdom, he has cleverly set up a name to exploit the people. After the 11th year of Kanei (1634), the local harvest failed year after year, and the farmers were unable to pay the annual tribute and various miscellaneous taxes. Due to continuous natural disasters, farmers ate tree leather roots to satisfy their hunger, and borrowed rice from the vassal government many times, but those lords didn't care, and only used torture to force rent. means of persecuting farmers.

Youemon and his relatives and friends were forced intolerable by this atrocity, and finally planned to resist them.

Historically, just two years later, in the 14th year of Kanei (1637), the famous Shimabara Rebellion broke out in Japan, and it was quickly put down by the Tokugawa shogunate within a year.

This uprising was the largest uprising against the shogunate during the Japanese shogunate era. The shogunate mobilized 10,000 domains, [-]+ troops, and spent more than one million silver before it was finally suppressed.

The original history is that Uemon and his relatives started the uprising first, gathering 800 people to set fire to houses and streets, and then rebelled against the local daimyo, but it was quickly quelled.

Then, Amakusa Haruka's 16-year-old younger brother, Amakusa Shiro, was the leader. He publicized everywhere, convened meetings, and swore an uprising, which kicked off the Shimabara Rebellion in 1637. At its peak, it had more than 3 soldiers and horses.

At that time, in order to eliminate them as soon as possible, the shogunate also invited the Dutch fleet that came here to do business to help with cannons.

Ding Yi naturally didn't know everything that happened in history, but he was very happy to hear such things.

Someone wanted to rebel against the shogunate, and found the noble and heroic General Daming Ding.

Because Ding Yi once distributed food in Nagasaki, he won the unanimous approval of the people of Shimabara and Amakusa.

When Ding Yi sent troops to Nagasaki, he robbed a large amount of grain. Because there were too many supplies to hold, he sent people around to distribute grain.

And Shimabara and Amakusa are on the edge of Nagasaki, and many people in Nagasaki are from Shimabara and Amakusa.

They received the food sent by Ding Yi, and were deeply grateful for the care from the Great Tomorrow Dynasty. Since then, Ding Yi's name has been remembered by them.

That's what Tianchuan Yuhuang said, and it sounded nice. Ding Yi seemed to be very happy too. It doesn't matter if it's true or not, but Ding Yi is willing to listen.

This time Uemon was not so impulsive and took his family to do it first, because someone came to him and said, why don't you ask Akito for help.

Ding Yi, the great general of the Ming Dynasty, who defeated the shogunate's army, had excellent weapons and armor.

After thinking deeply, Youemon decided to come to Ding Yi.

He knew that Ding Yi was the son-in-law of Matsuura Takanobu, and Matsuura Takanobu was the feudal lord whom Tokugawa Iemitsu hated the most.

So Tianchuan Yuhuang became their guide.

After hearing this, Ding Yi laughed secretly, probably Matsuura Takanobu took the initiative to find them. If anyone wants to get rid of the shogunate himself and take the top position now, it must be Matsuura Takanobu.

He talked with Shang Kexi all the way just now. In the past two years, Ding Yi's intelligence department has been here to inquire about news and draw maps. Japan is actually very chaotic, and life in Matsuura is not easy. Tokugawa Iemitsu is thinking about revenge for the past. .

After Tian Chuan finished speaking, Ding Yi had a righteous look on his face, and said sharply: "The people are living in poverty, and the daimyo persecutes the people with tyrannical government. The shogunate turned a blind eye to it. It simply treats human life like nothing, without morality and natural justice."

"I am a great Ming, a kingdom of heaven and a land of etiquette. I am willing to do my best to help you overcome difficulties."

"Uncle Tian Chuan, I would like to donate 50 shi, no, 100 million shi." Ding Yi shouted loudly and generously.

Translated by Tagawaichi.

Uemon's face was flushed, and he was extremely anxious, chatting loudly with Tagawa.

Amakusa Chuncao also looked anxious, and kept looking at Ding Yi.

Tian Chuan quickly said: "Ding Yi, they are not asking for food."

"No food? Then what do you want?" Ding Yi looked confused.

Youemon immediately said: "It's useless for you to give us food. The local daimyo knows it and will definitely take it back."

"The common people can no longer survive, they can only resist, revolt, and praise them."

"We need cannons, firecrackers, weapons, and armor. Please, General Ding, support us."

At the end, Eemon bowed deeply again.

Amakusa Haruka also quickly bent down.

"That's it." Ding Yi immediately became embarrassed, he sighed deeply, and said earnestly: "Uncle Tian Chuan should know."

"I was in Daming, but I was actually just a small general soldier, and in the Ming Dynasty, there were a total of 240 general soldiers like me."

"..." He Tianchuan was also stunned this time, Daming is so strong now?I am also from Daming, so don't lie to me.

Emmon and Haruka Amakusa were trembling.

This conquest, the Ming general who defeated the shogunate, was only one of 240 of the Ming Dynasty.

"In our Ming Dynasty, the building of soldiers is controlled by the state, but because I have raised [-] soldiers and horses, I can only build a few privately in exchange for silver from the shogunate."

"I took Iwami Ginzan because of the iron ore and silver here. I also signed a contract with the shogunate, and I can't sell armor to other daimyos. If so——"

When Ding Yi said this, Eemon interrupted him directly: "We will exchange it with a lot of silver." Eemon has already understood what Ding Yi meant.

"..." Ding Yi looked at them, wondering if they had any money.

"Ding Yi, don't worry, they are rich." Tian Chuanyu said: "As long as they have weapons, they can break the castles of those lord daimyo, plunder the wealth of the nobles, and then send them here continuously."

Ding Yi was overjoyed, he didn't care if money came, as long as it could add chaos to Tokugawa Iemitsu and Japan, he would be even happier if the uprising could sweep across the country like Li Zicheng.

"Let me think about it." Ding Yi said with a serious face.
