Maori Xiuyuan frowned and said: "Your Excellency is wishful thinking, in the current situation, why did the Maori family take the lead in raising troops?" ”

Dai Xiuyuan smiled like a spring breeze, "Because, if the Maori family does not rebel, the Tokugawa shogunate will soon hear the phrase 'Is the time come'." ”

The Japanese man in front of him looked murderous and said, "Ah, by the way, if I hadn't left your house today, someone would have gone to Edo to report the matter immediately." ”

"You, what the hell do you want to do?!"

"It's very simple, supporting Mori Shu will overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate."

Xiuyuan's eyes were full of fear, did this Ming Dynasty man really want to instigate himself to rebel?!

However, with the current strength of the Maori family, they will die. But if it is not reversed, the Ming Dynasty will poke out the secret discussion of the Maori family every year, and the Maori family will still be unable to escape death.

Fine cold sweat oozed from his head, and it took him a long time before he said with difficulty: "Impossible, the Maori family only has more than 300,000 stone territory, while the Tokugawa direct leader has 7 million stones, and his subordinates have a total of 6 million stones." No matter how much you persecute us, we will never be able to raise an army. Because, at all, it is ...... to hit a stone with an egg."

Dai Xiuyuan took a sip of the cold tea, and said unhurriedly: "If there is a great chaos in Edo now, plus the strength of the Shimazu family and the Uesugi family, a total of one million stone, as well as Maeda, Ukita, Nagamune, Ibe, Masuda, Ii, and other lost daimyo who have a great feud with the shogunate will rebel together. What do you think? ”

Mori Hidemoto calmed down and thought, "Unless the Edo chaos is so bad that the prestige of the shogunate is greatly reduced, there may still be a little hope." ”

"If I provide you with another 5,000 iron cannons, 5,000 sets of cotton armor, and 30 large barrels. Ah, it's not the kind you usually use, it's a huge cylinder weighing 2,000 pounds. Dai Xiuyuan looked directly into the other party's eyes, "Now, what do you think?" ”

"Two thousand pounds of big cylinder?!"

Mori Hidemoto stood up suddenly, he had participated in the war of aggression against Korea, and his artillery of the Ming army could be described as unforgettable.

In seventeenth-century Japan, the level of cannon casting was extremely poor, and there was a lack of iron ore, so their large barrels, that is, artillery, were no more than four pounds at large, and their barrels were so short that they were simply unsightly powerful.

On the other hand, the Ming army's Hongyi cannon, which was learned from the top cannon casting technology in Europe, had a range and power far exceeding that of the Japanese barrel several times, which was one of the important factors for the Ming army to repel the Japanese in Korea. The terrifying power of the cracked rocks absolutely made all the Japanese soldiers fall into the soul!

Maori Xiuyuan suddenly reacted, pointed at Dai Xiuyuan and said, "You, you are an official of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Even if an ordinary businessman has a way, it is absolutely impossible to get two thousand catties of cannons, and there are as many as thirty cannons at a time!

Dai Xiuyuan then bowed his hand according to the "script": "That's right, the lower official is a general of the Ming Dynasty, and this time he came on the order of Admiral Zhu, the sailor." ”

Maori Xiuyuan's eyes showed a fierce light, "Could it be that the Ming Dynasty wants to get involved in Japan?" ”

"No," Dai Xiu said from afar, "I am fighting fiercely with the Tartars, where do I have the heart to move Japan?" Ah, even if you want to move, you are powerless. ”

Japan has a large population, and if it really wants to fight hard, the whole country can mobilize a million troops. In terms of the ability to cross the sea in the 17th century, no one could eat Japan in one bite. Of course, this is on the premise that the whole of Japan is unified and goes all out to the outside world.

Mori Hidemoto wondered: "Then why did you throw so many weapons to me?" Don't say you're here to avenge the Maori family. ”

"Of course not." Dai Xiuyuan had already memorized the excuse, "For private reasons, when the Admiral wanted to welcome his biological mother to Guiming, the Tokugawa clan obstructed it in every possible way, which made the Admiral extremely angry. It's the adult's brother.,I'm still detained in Japan and not allowed to leave.。

"Yu Gong, the Tokugawa shogunate colluded with the Dutch to suppress our maritime trade with the DPRK and arbitrarily lower the price of goods, which caused our DPRK to suffer a lot. The previous time, our important ministers were attacked by the Japanese in the Ryukyus, and many of their men were killed and wounded, and their ships were destroyed. The Great Emperor issued an order to order Tokugawa Iemitsu to compensate 300,000 taels.

"The Admiral is ordered to deal with these two matters. Unexpectedly, Tokugawa Iemitsu was extremely rude, and not only refused to pay the money, but also threatened to kill the envoy sent by the Admiral.

"The Admiral was so humiliated by the Tokugawa and unable to fulfill the imperial mandate, so he decided to teach the Tokugawa shogunate a good lesson."

He put everything on Zheng Chenggong's head, just to try to distance himself from the Ming court and reduce the vigilance of the Japanese.

Maori Xiuyuan nodded secretly, it turned out that it was the Admiral of the Great Ming Sailor who wanted to announce his personal vendetta. However, for the sake of maritime trade and the 300,000 taels of silver, the Ming Dynasty supported some of its own weapons and armor, but it was also a profitable deal.

He couldn't help but bow his head and ponder, now the territories of Sakazaki, Fukushima, Horio, Mori and others to the east of him were all based on the former Maori family, and Maori still had great influence on these places. As long as Maori sends troops, there will definitely be many people who will cooperate with the outside world, and they will be able to quickly turn into their own strength after the defeat.

In other words, under the reinforcement of a large number of iron cannons and large barrels, it is likely that before the shogunate could react, the Maori family had already taken back their original 1.2 million stone territory. If you unite Shimazu, Uesugi and other forces, it is not impossible to wrestle with the shogunate.

And the premise of all this is that the shogunate will have a great chaos as Dai Xiuyuan said.

He said in a deep voice, "Are you sure that something big will happen in Edo?" ”

Dai Xiuyuan said categorically: "If it is fast, it will be half a month, and if it is slow, it will be a month, and Edo will be chaotic." ”

Mori Hidemoto finally let out a long breath and nodded vigorously, "Okay, I'll take Dai Jun to see Lord Jiadu!" ”

Although the Maori family is now the Maori family, Xiuyuan has been in power for a long time, and as long as he thinks it is feasible, Xiu will basically not object.

Dai Xiuyuan got up with a smile, "Okay, as long as Lord Nagato Mori nods, the cannons and other weapons I promised will arrive immediately." ”

……

Half a month later.

Edo.

The Tokugawa family threw the Chinese book in his hand to the Guanghai monk on the side, pointed to the Ming envoy in the hall, and said coldly to the interpreter: "Let this bearded prisoner get out!" ”

The interpreter was so frightened that he didn't dare to squeak, and Guanghai hurriedly said to the envoy first: "Ah, the lord asks your lord to go back to the pavilion to rest first, and this matter needs to be carefully discussed." ”

The envoy arched his hand, flicked his sleeves and left.

Tokugawa Iemitsu immediately roared, "The bearded captives are very presumptuous! Rude! What to stop the country, open all the ports to them for trade, and what 300,000 taels! It's just arrogant! ”

Monk Guanghai glanced at the national letter, and couldn't help but jump his eyelids, only to see that in addition to what the lord said, it was also written at the end, "If you don't obey, you will knock on the pass for thousands of miles, and it will be too late to regret it." What kind of national letter is this, it's simply a declaration of war!

He reined in his thoughts, but still cautiously persuaded: "My lord, the Ming Dynasty has driven the Houjin back to the north of the Yellow River, and not long ago their fleet defeated the Helan people at sea, and the momentum is in full swing. China is really a big country, and if it is not necessary, it is not appropriate to tear up with them......"
