Chapter 320

"Now, the lands of our four vassals have all joined the alliance, and the time is ripe. It is a certainty to raise troops to attack the Tokugawa shogunate. What do you think?"

Mitsuhisa Shimadzu looked at Sanjian Asaga who was sitting opposite him, and asked with a smile on his face.

The resentment of the Satsuma clan towards the Tokugawa shogunate has not lasted for a day or two. Since Tokugawa Ieyasu established the shogunate, he has begun to rectify the Satsuma clan and other foreign daimyos.

For so many years, the Satsuma clan has been living under the majesty of the Tokugawa shogunate.

It's not that they haven't thought about resistance, but the price of resistance is far from what they can accept.

Now that the power of the Tokugawa shogunate has been greatly damaged, it is a good opportunity for a large-scale offensive.

If the Tokugawa shogunate can be overthrown, then he will go to Shimadzu Mitsuhisa, and he may become the next shogun.

At that time, he Shimadzu Mitsuhisa will be able to establish the Shimadzu Shogunate.

Fantasies about the future are constantly being played out in Mitsuhisa Shimadzu's mind, and this bustling scene makes him short of breath.

Shanjian Asaga looked at him with a smile, and said, "It's not a problem to overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate. Your Excellency is wise and mighty, and you will definitely be able to accomplish great things!"

"It's just that you can help me with the weapons I need!" Shimadzu Mitsuhisa said.

Shanjian Asaga is just a pseudonym, used to confuse Mitsuhisa Shimadzu.

He declared to the outside world that he was a Japanese businessman who had been in Daqin for many years.

Now he is familiar with the quartermaster of Daqin, and can get a batch of weapons from Daqin.

This is also one of the reasons why Mitsuhisa Shimadzu dared to challenge the Tokugawa shogunate.

At first, Mitsuhisa Shimadzu also doubted the identity of San Jian Asaga.

But when Shanjian Asaga brought a batch of weapons from Daming, all Shimadzu Mitsuhisa's doubts disappeared.

These weapons are simply too powerful, unbelievably powerful.

In Shimadzu Mitsuhisa's view, this kind of weapon must be a control material, unless it is really capable, it is impossible to get this kind of weapon out.

"You also know that the virtues of the Central Plains people, no matter what dynasty or generation they are, there are some people who love money as much as their lives, as long as they are given a lot of money, they dare to sell anything.

As long as you can give a suitable price, I will naturally get a lot of weapons, after all, who doesn't like money! "Shanjian Chaohe said with a smile.

"Hahahaha, it's easy to say, easy to say, all of this is easy to say, I, Mitsuhisa Shimadzu, have nothing but money.

After so many years of accumulation, I can provide you with as much money as you want, but it is just some external possessions. As long as it can be exchanged for enough weapons, I am willing to give you as much money as you want. "

What Shimadzu Mitsuhisa said is correct. Although his Satsuma clan is remote, he does have a lot of money.

During the Jiajing and Wanli years of the Ming Dynasty, the Satsuma clan began to send troops to invade Ryukyu in exchange for trade opportunities with the Ming Dynasty.

Under the control of Satsuma, Ryukyu gradually lost the initiative.

And the Shimadzu family of the Satsuma domain also took advantage of this opportunity to collect huge profits from Daming.

The accumulation of hundreds of years has made the Shimadzu family very rich.

Although it is not as good as Tokugawa Iemitsu, it can be regarded as one of the best existences on the islands of Wa Kingdom.

The huge financial resources are also the reason why the Satsuma clan dared to challenge the Tokugawa shogunate.

This is what Shan Jian Asagi was waiting for, before attacking the Wa country, they would extort all the wealth from these people.

Not only to kill people, but also to punish their hearts, to wipe out all these ruling classes.

Only in this way can the people at the bottom be better digested.

"As long as you can provide money, I can bring you enough weapons, you don't have to worry about that."

Shanjian Chaohe said with a smile.

The more the two talked, the more speculative they became, Shimazu Mitsuhisa even summoned a singer to entertain Shanjian Chaohe.

Shan Jian Asagi looked at these divas who painted their faces like white, and really couldn't arouse any interest.

Japanese women in this era regard whiteness as their beauty, and they like to smear lead powder on their faces to achieve the kind of whiteness they need in their minds.

There is a plum blossom mole between the eyebrows similar to that of the Tang Dynasty, and only a little rouge is applied to the mouth. This kind of weird appearance really makes Shanjian Chaohe not aroused any interest.

Mitsuhisa Shimadzu had a good time, and even stood up and danced with these singers.

This distorted aesthetic is really indescribable.

After discussing the detailed terms with Mitsuhisa Shimadzu, Asaga Yamajian finally walked out.

Walking on the streets of Kagoshima, looking around, you can see ashigaru passing by with weapons in hand.

Most of the ashigaru are relatively young, and there are endless streams of teenagers aged [-] or [-].

They are very short, but the bamboo spears in their hands are very long, and they look like potatoes holding chopsticks from a distance.

Shanjian Zhaohe shook his head with a sarcasm, and gradually walked away.

These ashigaru walking on the street were recently recruited by Mitsuhisa Shimadzu from his own territory.

He used to have many elite soldiers in his hands, but like the Tokugawa shogunate, many soldiers were trapped in North Korea and could not return.

You know, during the initial period of time, it was his Shimadzu Mitsuhisa's Satsuma clan who took the lead in sending troops to North Korea.

Shanjian Chaohe returned to his residence, which is an extremely remote place with high walls and deep yards, and soldiers are watching inside and outside.

The weapons in the hands of these soldiers are basically all 98K issued to them by Sun Jie. With these weapons in hand, they are enough to deal with most conflicts.

Shanjian Chaohe came to a room, took out the radio again, and reported everything that happened just now.

With a radio station, communication is extremely convenient, and everything that happens can be reported back at any time, so that the court can know and make corresponding arrangements.

There is no need to be afraid of radio waves being intercepted or monitored. In this era, no one except Sun Jie has this means.

It didn't take long for all these things that happened in the Satsuma domain to spread to Sun Jie.

In the imperial study room, Sun Jie put down the memorial in his hand and looked at Lu Xiangsheng who was standing in front of him.

"Things are done well, so let's continue like this. Let the Wa country have a civil war first, and we must make this water as muddy as possible.

We will soon complete the integration of the entire country, and in three to five months, the country will be initially pacified, and at that time, we will deal with the Wa country smoothly.

By the way, the literati and doctors who were selected by you before must be treated well and preferentially, and no surprises should be allowed to them.

After all, these people shoulder the heavy responsibility of educating the people of the Japanese country. Whether they can assimilate them depends on these people. "

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that this matter will be watched by the minister himself, and there will be no accidents."

Lu Xiangsheng returned.

Those literati and bureaucrats who surrendered and captured, Sun Jie did not kill all of them.

Except for the heinous ones, those who refused to obey the discipline were kept, waiting to send them to the Wa country.

……

Time passed slowly, and the weapons that the Satsuma clan needed were basically available.

Among the four domains, the Satsuma domain is the strongest, and Mitsuhisa Shimadzu logically became the leader of the alliance.

He has a total of [-] soldiers, and he is famous.

Among them, the elite are equipped with weapons sold by Shanjian Asahi from Daqin.

Basically, they are some gas tank shells, Laiyang steel pipe factory rockets and other weapons.

Relying on these weapons, it is not a problem to dominate the entire Wa Kingdom.

After obtaining these weapons, Satsuma quickly distributed them, and then selected soldiers loyal to him for training.

After almost a month, these soldiers basically mastered the use of these weapons.

So Mitsuhisa Shimadzu couldn't wait to send troops to challenge the Tokugawa shogunate.

Before sending troops, he issued a public statement to demonstrate the legitimacy of his sending troops.

Holding so many elites in his hands, Mitsuhisa Shimadzu looked down on the world, as if he could give up me.

After a simple swearing-in, he led the soldiers of the four feudal clans and set off.

From Satsuma all the way to the east, the front of the soldiers pointed directly at Edo.

Those daimyos on the road were cunning people. After seeing the menacing Satsuma clan, they gathered their soldiers and horses, fled far away, and let the Satsuma clan go.

Now that the situation is treacherous, these people are also waiting.

They also wanted to see whether the Tokugawa shogunate was puffy or really powerful.

In this way, the Allied Forces of the Four Feudal Domains came to the outside of Osaka without bloodshed.

The consecutive victories made Shimadzu Mitsuhisa burst with confidence, and his heart became more and more eager for that seat.

When these news reached the Tokugawa shogunate, Tokugawa Iemitsu, who was already sick, fell ill again.

This time Tokugawa Iemitsu was like a deflated ball, sickly, almost out of shape, looking like he was about to die.

He hated Sun Jie, but he hated Satsuma even more.

Internal betrayal is far more annoying than external enemies.

But in order to maintain his position, Tokugawa Iemitsu had to withdraw soldiers and horses from the territory under his command.

The cloud of war began to gather.

Tokugawa Iemitsu had limited troops and could not take the initiative to attack, so he could only wait for the rabbit to resist at Osaka Castle.

Osaka, this is one of the three major cities called "Edo" and "Kyoto" in the Edo period.

This is the main production area and transit point of Japanese rice. If you can win Osaka, you don't have to worry about the food problem.

In order to ensure the food supply in Edo, Tokugawa Iemitsu must ensure the safety of Osaka Castle.

Mitsuhisa Shimadzu certainly knew the importance of Osaka, so he had to win Osaka.

Ota Zizong led the last [-] elite of the Tokugawa shogunate to station in Osaka Castle.

This battle is very important.

If the Satsuma clan can be defeated in one fell swoop, those disobedient hearts can be severely hit.

Tokugawa Iemitsu deeply understood the impact of this battle, so he handed over the last force in his hands to Ota Zizong.

After Ota Zizong entered Osaka, he built fortifications for defense.

He obviously didn't know that Satsuma had already obtained weapons from Daqin.

A big chaos is just around the corner.

……

Time passed, and the soldiers and horses of the Satsuma Domain traveled ten miles outside Osaka City.

He was not in a hurry to attack, but sent out hero posts widely, inviting other daimyos to watch the battle.

He wants to use this battle to establish his reputation, and to show the world that he can replace the Tokugawa shogunate.

These big names are not stupid, they will not act rashly until the battle situation is completely clear.

Mitsuhisa Shimadzu was disgraced by these people and was annoyed, so he ordered to attack the city.

The artillery was the first to attack, and the gas tank shells were arranged three miles outside the city.

Ota Zizong stood at the top of the city, wearing a ghost-head armor and a samurai sword hanging from his waist, ready to fight.

"Ten to encircle, five to attack, and double to divide. Osaka Castle is high and deep, and it is not so easy to break through it easily." Ota Zizong cheered for himself.

He didn't know that the Satsuma domain already had a powerful weapon, but he still had illusions in his heart, thinking that he could defend it.

Before the battle, Mitsuhisa Shimadzu looked at the city in front of him with disdain, and drew out the samurai sword from his waist.

"fire!"

he yelled angrily.

The orderly quickly conveyed the order.

The soldiers who had already prepared began to shell immediately.

"Bang bang bang!"

The shells flew horizontally, like raindrops, and landed in Osaka City.

Flames suddenly appeared in the city, and anyone who was affected by the shells was either killed or injured.

The screams were endless, and the roar of artillery fire was overwhelming.

Only three rounds of shelling destroyed the soldiers on the top of the city.

These Japanese soldiers had never seen such a situation before. The violent explosion was like a punishment from heaven, which shocked them.

Ota Zizong couldn't take care of himself, was scared out of courage, and didn't have the confidence before, so he fled from the city wall and ran away on his horse.

After a while, all the defenders on the city wall had fled.

Unable to escape, they were basically blown to pieces.

Looking at the wonderful and brilliant flowers in front of him, Mitsuhisa Shimadzu smiled loudly.

"With this magical weapon in hand, why worry that the world can't be in my hands? Hahahaha!"

Mitsuhisa Shimadzu laughed wildly.

At this point, under the Osaka Castle.

Mitsuhisa Shimadzu rode a war horse, looking like a victor, and headed towards Osaka Castle.

Katsushige Nabeshima, the feudal lord of the Hizen domain who was following behind him, had a fiery face full of yearning.

"It would be great if I could have this kind of weapon!" Katsushige Nabeshima said to himself.

These words happened to be heard by Asagi, who was walking beside Shanjian.

He leaned into Nabeshima Katsushige's ear and whispered, "You want it? As long as you give me money, I can get it for you!"

Katsushige Nabeshima's face turned serious, and he waved his hands quickly.

"What are you talking about? This is the great general's magical weapon, how can I covet it?!" Nabeshima Katsushige waved his hands again and again, looking worried.

If it is pushed forward for dozens of days, Katsushige Nabeshima will not feel anything, and will even ask the bottom line.

With Mitsuhisa Shimadzu's successive victories, Katsushige Nabeshima also gradually understood that the Shimadzu family was like the rising sun, and it was out of control.

If one covets his weapon at this juncture, the end will not be very good, and it will definitely be regarded as treason.

Katsushige Nabeshima didn't think he could withstand the bombing of this weapon.

Shanjian Asaga looked at such a timid Nabeshima Katsushige, and said, "Oh, some people just can't seize the opportunity. They deserve to be small for the rest of their lives, and they deserve to be ministers all the time!"

After all, Shanjian Zhaohe rode away on his horse.

Looking at the back of the mountain stream heading towards He Yuan, Nabeshima Katsushige felt uncomfortable.

He knew that the weapons of Satsuma clan were all obtained by the person in front of him, but he didn't dare to show his thoughts in this regard.

Mitsuhisa Shimadzu has already monitored the other feudal clans, and if he finds something wrong, he will bring up the butcher knife.

He is afraid of death.
