The silent forest instantly erupted in gunfire, and the ambush circle was only less than thirty paces away from the center of the road, and a dozen AKs instantly beat Honda Chiyo into a sieve, and the scene suddenly became a mess.

"Head of the house!" Miyamoto only had time to let out an exclamation, and before he could even pull out his sword, he was shot several times.

Honda Chiyo's 100 guards were also well-trained, and they quickly separated half of them to surround Honda Chiyo and Miyamoto Shimaki in the middle.

A shuttle of bullets was quickly finished, and everyone looked at the Dongying samurai who rushed towards them with katana swords and sneered.

Whoa—

Under Liu Hongji's order, more than a dozen people successively opened the safety of the grenade, and then threw the grenade in the form of a parabola into the group of warriors who rushed towards them with knives in both hands.

Boom - Boom -

The grenade is tantamount to slaughtering cold weapons, and after a round of grenades, less than half of the fifty or sixty Dongying warriors can stand, Liu Hongjian did not hesitate at all, and immediately ordered Kuoduan and others to throw a second wave.

The grenade was naturally stored in the ring space by Liu Hongjian in advance, unlike AKM, which can be wrapped in a piece of linen cloth and carried on the back, and the key is that it cannot be damp.

Boom - Boom Boom -

This is Dongying, the real place outside the law, and they are the outlaw fanatics.

"Hand over our merchant ships, or your family will never be at peace!" (Dutch)" Naoki Hirakawa shouted at the surviving half of the roadside and the Toei samurai, who was responsible for keeping Chiyo Honda safe.

"That's it, let's withdraw!" Liu Hong gradually patted the shoulder of the stunned Nanazaemon and said while changing the magazine.

It's not that Nanazaemon has little knowledge, it's just that the battle just now is beyond his imagination.

The terrifying musket that could fire continuously, and the iron lump that exploded when it smoked, almost in the blink of an eye, Honda Chiyo, the grandson of Honda Tadakatsu, the head of the Hondo family, and one of the three major forces in Edo, died.

And together with the elimination of fifty or sixty fierce Toei samurai, he has seen the strength of the guards around Honda Chiyo, at least the samurai he raised, two can't do one.

But so what? In Liu Hongji's hands, it was just a matter of a bullet, a grenade.

As long as your body is still fleshy, as long as you don't become an immortal, no matter how powerful you are, a bullet can send you to Amaterasu.

When more than a dozen people retreated, there was still a group of samurai who wanted to chase them, but they were suddenly shot by Kuduan and others, and the group ran to the depths of the forest, turned over and ran westward.

"It's the Dutch!" Miyamoto heard Naoki Hirakawa's roar, and not only heard but also understood, as the most trusted samurai of Honda Chiyo, he knew about the festival between the head of the family and the Dutch merchants.

It's just that he didn't expect the Dutch to be so daring!

"The head of the house! Vomit-" Miyamoto looked at the head of the house in front of him, who had been beaten to an inhuman appearance, and blood continued to bubble in his mouth while he was sad and angry, and his body had reached the limit after being shot several times.

"Nakao-kun, I can't support it, it was a Dutch merchant who attacked us, and I hope to report this matter truthfully...... Report to the general! After Miyamoto finished speaking, he collapsed beside Chiyo Honda.

……

The assassination of Chiyo Honda was definitely a big deal for the major forces in Edo, and it was enough to describe it as a shock.

Tokugawa Iemitsu personally brought people to Honka for inspection, and Nakao Jiro, as an eyewitness, truthfully described the scene to Tokugawa Iemitsu, and Tokugawa Iemitsu's face sank instantly.

It's just that Tokugawa Iemitsu is not an ordinary person after all, he doesn't think that the Dutch did it, it's not that he doesn't believe in Nakao Jiro, years of experience tell him that what he sees is not necessarily true.

A few days ago, he also met with a Dutch viscount, and had a good conversation, the Dutch wanted to come to Dongying to do business, and after Dongying closed the country, some domestic necessities happened to need these merchants.

How many stupid things has Honda Chiyo done over the years, Tokugawa Iemitsu is clear in his heart, but because of the affection of his ancestors, and this guy has always been loyal, he has always turned a blind eye.

Blackmailing the Dutch with a ship is definitely more capable of Chiyo Tata, but according to his understanding, the cunning Dutchman will definitely not dare to assassinate his general because of this.

The Dutch would definitely be able to tell which was more important, and even if they really wanted to solve the matter, they should have come to the shogunate to negotiate rather than assassinate them directly.

So the assassin of Honda Chiyo must be someone else!

"Someone! Go and inform Viscount Colridge quickly, and say that General Ben has something important to discuss! The Tokugawa family said with a calm face.

"General, you must avenge our master!" When Nakao Jiro heard that Tokugawa Iemitsu had only made an appointment with the Dutch, he immediately fell to his knees.

With Nakao Jiro taking the lead, the other retainers of the Honka family naturally cried one by one.

"Nakata Hitomi, you go and lead people to detain all the Dutch in the city." Tokugawa Iemitsu frowned and sighed.

He didn't want to blame the Dutch, but he had to take into account the emotions of the Motokawa family, which made him hate the real mastermind even more.

……

Tokugawa Iemitsu sent people to arrest the Dutch, and on the other hand, he secretly investigated the suspected murderer, and even Honda Chiyo's bad debts over the years were turned upside down, but he still had no clue.

There is no way, there are too many people who have offended Honda Chiyo, and words such as full of evil and hard to write are almost tailor-made for it, and anyone has a reason to kill Honda Chiyo.

It's just that Edo is his old nest, and nothing can be set off here, and Tokugawa Iemitsu believes that there will always be a day when the water will come out.

But the mute didn't want to eat it, Rao knew that it wasn't the Dutch who did it, but the assassins were all dressed in Dutch clothes, and even shouted Dutch, which no one could question.

He wanted to blackmail Viscount Colridge to see if he could gain more profit margins for the shogunate in trade.

It's just that things are not as simple as the Tokugawa family thought, and two days later, another thing happened in Edo, a city controlled by the shogunate, that shocked everyone.

As soon as Viscount Colridge, a Dutch naval lieutenant, landed ashore with his men, he was caught off guard by a group of Toei people in kimonos, whose weapons were not katanas, but black and shiny repeating muskets.

Korridge was as unlucky as Chiyo Honda, and was instantly beaten into a sieve, and half of his head was knocked off.

And when the samurai retreated, they shouted slogans to avenge Honda Chiyo......

The Dutch didn't know how Chiyo Honda died, but their merchant ships were indeed seized by the Toei on trumped-up charges, and the captain of the detachment, Korrich, was indeed shot by the Toei.

Is this still worth it? The Dutch moved so quickly that before Tokugawa Iemitsu could react, the Dutch warships between Toei and the Daming Sea were urgently mobilized to the sea off important ports such as Nagasaki and Edo.

The water in Dongying is even more muddy.

"Brother Ermu, how is this king's-stirring stick?"
